The Scho-Zone

My wedding is rapidly approaching. In this episode I'll be reflecting on the past year of my life, and how a day I never thought would come can't get here soon enough. From visiting ballparks to meeting my wife!

On this episode, I'm joined by Bill Van Veghel. Bill is a Canadian podcaster, and we had a free-flowing conversation about everything in the title. We probably coulda kept going for hours more, but I'll look to have him back on the show in the future. Bill is a part of two shows of his own.

Just hitting record and letting it rip!

I'm back from a 4-week hiatus recording the show. Refreshed, recharged, and ready to rant again. In this episode I'll be discussing my recollection of the Covid-19 lockdowns. Also how my feelings towards March Madness have changed with time.

A pretty fun conversation with guest Jake Wardrip. Throughout this episode, we discuss his time as a college baseball player, hosting a podcast (Real Talk With The Homies), and being a Dodgers fan.

Emily Bonds joins me in a new edition of The Scho-Zone Recovery Room series. In 2021 Emily woke up in a fancy hotel room with her hair frozen in vomit. Needless to say, her problems with alcohol had gotten out of control. Listen to her tell how this church-going woman hid a 4 bottle of wine a day problem from those closest to her, and how she went on to compete in beauty pageants.

On this episode of The Scho-Zone, I'm joined by a unicorn human being. Bills Fan Dan doesn't play fantasy, gamble, or partake in social media. He's a true throwback of a fan! We'll discuss his feelings on his beloved Buffalo Bills and the potential for them to win their first Super Bowl.

A special edition of episodes from The Scho-Zone. Branching off from sports and into the world of recovery, we'll be having guests discuss their journey and their causes. The first episode is with aspiring podcaster Anthony Cruz. Anthony takes us through his struggles with addiction and how he kicked it. Anthony also has perhaps one of the wildest drug stories I've ever heard in my life.

It is a sad day for baseball as news hits on the passing of the beloved Bob Uecker. Milwaukee native Jason Alexander will join me to discuss the former MLB Player and Brewers announcer. We'll also mourn the end of Green Bay Packers season and ask Jason how he feels about Jordan Love as a QB.

For anyone who follows me, it's no secret I have a war on fantasy football. In this episode of The Scho-Zone, I discuss my negative attitude towards fantasy sports and how being a sports fan has changed throughout my life. Something my life used to revolve around has changed dramatically. I'll also try to make sense of how legalized sports betting has made it harder to talk sports.

Welcome back to The Scho-Zone in the first episode of 2025. In this episode I'll be filling in the blanks behind the scenes, reflecting on 2024, and the ambitions for 2025. There will be some football talk sprinkled in as the College Football Playoffs are down to 4 teams, and the NFL Playoffs begin this weekend.

On this episode of The Scho-Zone I'm joined by Michel Filemon from Sports & The Real Sh*T. I appeared on his show a few months ago and it was time to repay the favor. We revisited our QB discussion on his show and discussed how some teams are stuck with their current QB. Then I take my medicine for suggesting Daniel Jones isn't that bad of a QB.

We're at the NFL season's peak, but MLB is the feature story. I'll discuss Juan Soto's record-breaking contract and the discourse around it. There isn't a perfect team in the NFL. I'll discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the teams likely to make the playoffs following Week 14.

It's my first time recording in my studio since Thanksgiving. I've probably gained a few pounds since thing which we'll discuss. Rob Manfred might completely ruin baseball which I'll share my thoughts on. Last will be an NFL recap and my thoughts on the College Football Playoff.

I Haven't posted anything new in a while. Today, we get back on track with a quick live show before I get to work.

This episode might be more for me than the viewers and listeners. The whole election process has been wild and divisive, and now it's over—or is it? During this episode, I basically shared my thoughts and experiences with the world. I didn't prepare for it, which probably shows, but it was important for me to share some thoughts with my voice over my written word. My general conclusion was that it...

A wonderful conversation between two guys who both have ADHD. David was someone I met through a negative comment on one of my earlier episode.

Week 3 was a bloodbath for yours truly, but apparently I'm not alone. I'll bring on a special guest Gary Wyld ( @picksgonewyld on X) to make sense of this league we love. Plus it's always fun to get to know a twitter follower I've interacted with for a while.

It was a day of day for the one and only Shohei Ohtani! I'll summarize my experience for his historic day!
