Doc Reece
October 15, 2020 05:53 - 48 minutes - 44.2 MBDavid (Doc) Reece passed away recently but he's here with me in spirit on this episode. He was the most impactful professor in my college and young adult life. His impact goes so much further than that, though. He's on my Mt Rushmore of "men I hope to be like". He taught me about everything from romancing a woman to the Hebrew language. He was as good an athlete and competitor as he was a scholar. But he was also the most humble and sincerely devoted believer you could hope to meet. I could'v...
Meet Liam, Kenzie's Punk Friend
October 08, 2020 20:12 - 34 minutes - 32 MBLiam reached out to Kenzie when her episode was posted and cheekily asked if he could be on an episode and talk about punk music, his passion. My podcast has NO rules, so I said 'of course'. Liam is clearly in love with this music genre, and I found his passion and knowledge for it inspiring (we ALL need someone in our lives that looks at us the way Liam looks at punk music). But more than that, I really enjoyed getting to know my daughter's friend. COVID has kept us from having any of our ki...
Meet Marcus
June 03, 2020 08:00 - 57 minutes - 52.3 MBMarcus Patrick, a fellow Knoxville native (GoVols!) that moved to other parts of the world to spread the love of Tennessee to wayward souls. Well, ok, not so much the Tennessee part. But he's changing lives one kid, one family at a time in Lexington, Kentucky. I decided that JephsWorldSoWhite and I wanted to amplify a black voice that is doing great work and has deep thoughts about the current affairs. He's a man of few words that would much prefer to speak with his actions rather than lectur...
Kayla, The Warden
May 27, 2020 07:00 - 1 hour - 69.7 MBMeet The Warden, AKA, my wonderful and amazing wife, Kayla. She's blessed my life for 19 years, 18 of which we've been married. After begging and pleading with me to be on my podcast, I finally relented and here she is (just teasing, I'm the one who begged). In this episode we basically do a brief overview of how she grew up plus she answered some questions on the spot from me and some friends on social media. The pee story in this episode is just one of many hilarious moments in her life. Sh...
Karen, AKA Memaw
May 20, 2020 07:00 - 58 minutes - 53.2 MBMeet my MIL, Karen McKenzie. 19 years ago she didn't even know who I was. Neither did her middle daughter, my wife. A few months later in 2001, I blessed both of their lives beyond imagination by agreeing, modestly, to join their family and accept their undying love for me. Ok, ok, it was more like I begged and chased and bargained and prayed that they'd let me in, but luckily for me her daughter has terrible taste in men and was clearly having an early life crisis, so I got to sneak into Kar...
Gretchen Lynn Robards
May 13, 2020 07:00 - 1 hour - 60.9 MBMeet "The Gretch". I've known this gal since she was a kid. Literally. I moved to Greenwood, Indiana in 2005 just up the road from her and her family farm. I've been lucky to have them in my life since. She's on this episode for a specific reason; to provide some insight into grief/life from losing a parent (mother) too soon. This is a quasi-tribute to her mom, Sara. I'll definitely have her back because she's not just 'a girl who lost her mother'. She's hilarious and creative and super smart...
Momma
May 06, 2020 07:00 - 50 minutes - 45.9 MBSo I talked my Momma into doing an episode basically because I can never remember the stories of her life and needed to record her telling some of them so I can pass them to my own kids. Raised on a farm, she lived a very different life than most of us. Heck, I know lots of farmers, and she lived a different life than even them. She's the hardest working PERSON I know (not female, but person). Her memory is wicked great and she spends this episode telling some amazing (and even crazy) stories...
Brennan, B-bop, Bubby, Birthday Boy
April 22, 2020 07:00 - 30 minutes - 28.3 MBMy son. He's definitely the craziest kid I have and if I worry about one of my kids dying from a game of double-dare, it's this kid. Somehow, even with his very serious food allergies, he's made it to the BIG 1-5. That's right, he's turning 15 in a few days, so that's why he's the guest this week. Birthday Babies (that's right, he's STILL and FOREVER my baby!) get the spotlight and he's the first birthday we celebrate every year. In this pod, he talks to me about video games, animation, thing...
Meet Craig, The Scallywag I've Known Since Middle School
April 15, 2020 07:00 - 40 minutes - 36.7 MBCraig and I met in 7th grade and were fast friends. Shortly thereafter we realized we were MFEO. Me, a thick and wild hair and Craig, a short, thin pillar of the community type of guy. He's the Dr Jekyll to my Mr Hyde. In this pod, we talk about what Craig is up to in life and I basically just introduce you to the best guy I know. I barely scratch the surface of his kindness, selflessness, and sagacity. We didn't get around to the story about when I pooped in his locker in high school, but we...
Miles Meehan
April 08, 2020 07:00 - 46 minutes - 42.3 MBMiles is one of the best friends I've ever had. He's also one of my most unique friends. He's been a child movie actor, commercial actor, Broadway actor (Beauty and The Beast), Kentucky Wildcat mascot (Scratch), police academy hobbyist (you'll find out what that means), acting instructor, theater boss, seminary dropout, and currently a few years into Law School at the University of Kentucky (at 31 yrs old). If you're wondering, yes, he's exhausted. I didn't succeed in recording anything that ...
Kloe
April 01, 2020 07:00 - 31 minutes - 28.9 MBThis episode is BONKERS. Kloe, my youngest, gives me a common core math lesson, tells me about different flours (FLOUR: Non-sponsor of the week), giggles a lot, and decides it's my side of the family to blame for her hot temper. I cannot vouch for her math or flour knowledge but I 100% deny the genetic connection between her temper and me. She does, however, get her love of baked goods from me. This episode has absolutely no point to it. And that's kinda the point in every conversation with h...
First Guest! - Kenzie
March 25, 2020 15:31 - 33 minutes - 31 MBMy guest Kenzie and I talk about the interesting junior year of high school she's had. I also prosecute, convict, and sentence her to death for crimes we still have not established. We had lots of fun and we force you to endure some inside jokes but mostly outside jokes. Not featured on the podcast, because it happened during the intro music, we danced and *vibed* in our seats to loosen up. She makes fun of my lack of professionalism and crude podcast equipment manangement and tries to distra...
Welcome
March 20, 2020 06:05 - 13 minutes - 12.7 MBListen to me fumble awkwardly while I record myself late at night in an attempt to give you VITAL information about this podcast. How it started, what to expect on future episodes, and who it's for. I *ummmm* and *ahhhh* my way through the whole thing. What's important is that I DID it. Hopefully (but not likely) the production grows beyond a pair of Apple headphones and an old laptop. WELCOME, and feel free to stay for future awkward and unprofessional episodes. Be good...
