Neil Loomis 2018

Long before this podcast began, I was in the process of writing a book about inner peace. On September 3, 2018, as part of that journey, I had the pleasure of interviewing my friend Neil Loomis. In this episode, I revisit that original conversation where we explore the themes and chapters of the book, with Neil offering his honest insights and reflections. A heartfelt thank you to Neil for allowing me to share this recording.  Stay tuned—Neil and I will be back soon with a brand new episode featuring a true and proper interview. Thank you for your time.

Kris Rhodes 2

Please enjoy this candid conversation with a friend. This is a frank and honest discussion of the gritty realities of life. As well as an exploration of some wild theories i.e. about God. Please allow Kris grace as he discusses Big Blue and witchcraft. Please be forewarned, we also discuss suicide and suicidal thoughts. All while laughing together as friends should.

Chris Drane 2

This episode was recorded in June of 2023, just days after I discovered the news that my partner was pregnant with twins. My mind was still processing the news when my friend asked me "What was my first emotion?". In the interview artfully dodged the question, perhaps subconsciously. my first thought". Here we are nearly a year later and I can finally answer his question. My first emotion was fear. My mind went to bigger house, Viri needs a new car, I need to make more money, the diaper duties before me, what if they are identical and I mix them up forever switching their names?! Some fears, irrational and others pragmatic. The podcast stopped, not because I didn't have the time, but because I could not think about anything except my fear. Life goes on, and the babies are due Jan 12, 2024. I felt obligated to complete the episode since I tell the story about the news of them. So,  1/1/2024 I have mustered the courage to complete the edit and send it out. Bad news, I make a fatal last movement that shifted the edits to Chris Drane's voice, erasing the censorship and to the music in the background. It took my three more months to spit out a reedit, where I destroy the volume modulation.  Skip to today 4/3/24, thanks to the wisdom of the Don, I made a revelation. When I heard the news of the twins I was afraid, but a nearly a year later, life is good. We have a supportive "Bubble" that has been so generous, Viri sold her Cruze and God dropped a beautiful minivan that I can afford comfortably, our house is well enough for now, my fears were for not! As for my irrational fear, my wish was granted, I have fraternal twin girls one that favors me and the other that favors Viri.  With this final edit, please enjoy this conversation with my friend Chris Drane. Thank you for your time.
