Today, it’s freakin episode 199….I can’t even believe how far we’ve all come together!!

And this week’s guest has been around for EVERY SINGLE EPISODE!

YES!
It’s the inimitable: CHRIS HACKMAN!!!!

Chris is the best.
This is an extremely silly episode, and you get to hear Chris’ music in the intro, the outro, compliment corner, GYDBOMF, AND from his new project “Real Human Barbie”!!!

I know you guys MAY already know this man, but after this episode, you’re just gonna fully love him and want to be his new BFF.
I just know that about you, and how you’ll feel.

So when you’re done, hit IG immediately, and follow him!!! (@therealhumanbarbie)

OUR PERSONAL THOUGHTS FOR YOU TODAY:
200!!!
Episode 200 is NEXT FREAKIN WEEEK!!!! WOWZEEE ZOWZEEEEESS!

Strength Level: Brothers

This week, on episode 198, I invited my dear friend (and past guest) Will Reno to guest co-host, and interview his brother:

BEN RENO!!!!!!!!

Ben is an incredible actor, producer, funny man, brother, musician, and basically supertalent/jack of all trades.

YA WANNA KNOW HIM.
YA WANNA FOLLOW HIM!!

Listen as we talk about cereal mascots and it goes right over Ben’s head, listen as we revisit many of your favorite games and scream over the Zoom call, and listen to a pure example of friendship and brotherhood.

After that, go rate and review the show, and follow Ben on IG IMMEDIATELY!!! @benreno90

OUR PERSONAL THOUGHTS FOR YOU TODAY:
2 weeks til episode 200!!?!?!???!!! What the heck!?!?!

How did we even get here!??!?!?!!!!??

Strength Level: BFFs

Get ready for an hour and a half of straight bro love today my friends.

Today, my best friend, my best man:

JAKE HARPSTER!!!!!!!!

Jake is a MONSTER percussionist (one of my favorites), a member of the United States Army Band, a bad ass cyclist, a dog Dad, and so much damn more, it’s insane!!!

Sorry in advance for this long and super indulgent time of reminiscing and complimenting each other……and by “sorry”, I mean, shut up! 
This is a free show, and it was such a blast to hang out with my best friend, and you can just shut up!

Sorry….I really lost control there.

ANYway, this Zoom hang with my friend was MUCH needed back in May when it happened, much needed now, and at VERY least, was really fun for me to sit down and edit and listen to again.
You know what I mean?
Some friends just make ya feel good!

As soon as you’re done here, go try and find videos of Jake playing, and then follow him on IG (@jacobharpster).
One of the baddest men around!!!

OUR PERSONAL THOUGHTS FOR YOU TODAY:
There are a lot of old (back in May) thoughts about the Coronavirus and the situation we are all in NOW, but rather than edit them out, I kept them in as part of the “time capsule” elements of this #CORONAFILES time.
Though we’ve learned a lot since then, these were our thoughts from then, and I hope it doesn’t get ya all riled up!
Either way, today? WEAR A DAMN MASK

Strength Level: Anime!

On this week’s episode of your favorite silly pod, you’ll get to hear me sit down with my dear friend:

BOBBIE LEE CROW III

Bobbie is an incredible musician, a funny man, and just a joy to hang with.
I WISH we could have done this in person and had some drinks, but hey, when you’re dealing with a guy like Bobbie, you just take what you can get!

Zoom hang it is! :)

Make sure to follow his awesome projects (@serasymphony and @iconiquestra on IG), and stay IN THE KNOW WITH BOBBIE CROW!!!

He’s definitely a shooting star in the music biz!

OUR PERSONAL THOUGHTS FOR YOU TODAY:

Sorry this episode was a bit late this week everyone!
I’ve got so little to do…..but when faced with a difficult technical snaffoo and a serious lack of motivation during the weirdest period of all of our lives…..you can be assured that the first priority was beer.
THEN editing this podcast for you all. Hahaha

Strength Level: #DRUMFAM

We’re back again this week with the Corona Files/ZOOM edition of the show, and this week featuring the wonderful:

NICK TAYLOR!!!!

Nick is a fellow Hoosier and drummer from the mid-west who is a member of the US Navy Band, a freakin BICYCLE RACER, a father of one little baby and two little pups, a husband to a lovely lovely lady (who is also a killer drummer), and so much dang more.
Nick has been on my list of guests I’ve wanted to have on the show since DAY 1!!!

So thanks Quarantine….for ONE thing. And one thing only:

Bringing me my dear friend Nick via Zoom

Make sure to follow Nick on IG (@drumznbikes), and keep up with all of his bad assery, of which I can assure you, THERE IS MUCH.

OUR PERSONAL THOUGHTS FOR YOU TODAY:
Episode 200 is just around the corner!!??!?!
That’s insane as all damn hell!!!!!!!
What are some things you’ve done 200 times?

Strength Level: Procrastination

We Are BACK BAYBEEEEEEE!!!!

I took a few weeks off, and you’ll hear all about that in the LONG intro on this episode.

But today, I’m bringing to you one of my dear friends who I’d wanted to have on since I started this dang thing!

Only problem is that he lives in AUSTIN, TX and we never get to dang hang out!

But thanks to the crappy corona, we got to ZOOOM hang!!

I had a blast reconnecting with Matt back when we recorded this at the beginning of quarantine, and I’m really excited for you to check him out, check out his music, and follow him immediately on all the social medias (@mathjudson on IG)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OUR PERSONAL THOUGHTS FOR YOU TODAY:
I hope my taking a few weeks off from the show didn’t piss you off too damn bad.
I really struggled with it every week, but it just didn’t feel right.
But this week, it was quite the opposite feeling!
I miss you guys, I miss my friends and family, and I’m ready to get back to being part of each other’s lives every week.

Plenty more episodes coming your way!!!!!
