True story: I'd heard about Reggie way before I'd ever met him. Crazy enough he experienced the same about me, all the while with us being years and years apart from attending school together.

Funny thing about time, no matter how much you try you can't stop it, and the more of it that passes by the more it changes. I looked at Chris so differently back in college, then again we all were different - and yet he and I were oh so similar. You'll get that from this episode along with some great stories and conversation. There's so much here, that I don't wanna ruin it, but I hope you enjoy...

Fair warning: This is the longest podcast I've done. I've also known Brendan the longest of any my guests. This is also my favorite and I think you'll learn why.

This is a special edition of the podcast...a birthday edition. For this one I decided to speak in music. So much has been going on in my world lately, so many emotions, people feelings....so many feelings.
