Episode 22 — Friends & Family FRIDAY — Kyle Gilstrap

About a decade ago my new friend, Kyle, and I launched our podcast — Hi Neighbors — out of my apartment in Brooklyn. He and his friend, Peyton, even inspired two of the main characters in Green Thumbs. But instead of playing fictional Kyle, our friend with no acting experience took a smaller role as Rex, the cannabis salesman, who claims "I just like to help people out." We catch up with our friend, who's back living in NYC. FEEDBACK? CLICK HERE [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2519271/fan_mail/new]

Episode 21 — Friends & Family FRIDAY — Ruston Head

Around 25 years ago, today's Cajun guest moved to LA.—where we met him—with dreams of being a writer. Somehow he became an in-demand art director with a wife and 2 kids in Tampa. Here's how that happened. FEEDBACK? CLICK HERE [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2519271/fan_mail/new]

Episode 19 — Friends & Family FRIDAY — The Gong Show

It's been nearly 50 years since I was lead singer of the band that was called by Chuck Barris "maybe the worst act we've ever had on The Gong Show." This podcast is an attempt to heal the scars. But, hey, at least JFK's brother-in-law was able to constrain himself from gonging us. FEEDBACK? CLICK HERE [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2519271/fan_mail/new]

Episode 18 — Road Trip TUESDAY — Biking Across America (Part 1: Leroy From Plains)

Forty summers ago I took a solo mountain bike trip from Manhattan Beach, CA to Boston, MA. A couple weeks into my adventure — on an empty two-lane highway in rural eastern Colorado — I met a fellow ill-prepared adventurer who was also mountain biking solo across America with no helmet and little advance planning. Leroy, who was from Plains, GA, and knew the Carter family, hit the road every day in green army cut-offs and a white wife-beater. I spent nearly two weeks on the road with this character, who never met a stranger he couldn't win over with his disarming curiosity and drawling Southern charm.  FEEDBACK?
