**We dont take ourselves too seriously, just drinkin and having conversation*
Had the opportunity to sit down with the guys from @txrigoutdoors as well as Texas Music legend @erickwillis this past week.
EJ and Wes gave me a crash course in all things "water fowl/duck hunting". We talked about their passion for outdoors/ starting up their youtube channel and brand/ and taking Erick on his first duck hunting trip.

The second half of the podcast was mainly focused on Erick's music and his career. He was kind enough to shed some light on his upcoming album release and the plans to tour soon. I have been a fan of his music for a long time, and  had a great time meeting such a genuine and nice guy.

Not sure how, but we hit 10K downloads! I appreciate all the support over the years, lets see what we can cook up for season 2.
 

Finally had my buddies from Della Pearl stop by to record!

Ive watched these guys put in an insane amount of time and dedication into this band, and I can't wait to watch their path to success.

On this episode we talk about the groups influences, musical backgrounds, and overall vision for where they want to be as a band.

Oh,.......and we drank quite a bit of alcohol!  

Make sure to follow the band on all social media platforms @DellaPearlMusic and be on the lookout for their upcoming shows, and music to stream!

My guest today is a singer/songwriter from West Virginia, Alan "Corduroy" Brown.

I dont even know where to begin with this one...

We covered a wide variety of topics ranging from growing up in Appalachia , being a musician, mental health, and Corduroys literal experience of having a second chance at life.

If youve never listened to one of my episodes, I REALLY encourage you to give this one a shot.

I was a fan of his music before, but now Im an even bigger fan of him as a person. His story truly is life changing.

Corduroy Brown's upcoming album Let Me Know will be available everywhere on August 14th. Make sure to show him support, stream the music, follow the socials, and tell him Justin sent ya!

Happy Fathers day to all the dads out there!

Todays episode is focused around former Dallas Stars defenseman Stephen Johns.

Johns had his career come to an early end at just 29 years old due to a constant battle with head injuries.

Johns suffered from debilitating depression for years and is now taking a stand and raising awareness through his #Mentalmiles journey across America.

Hope you all enjoy this episode

So many of you awesome listeners have requested another installment of the  "Mental Health" series, well May is mental health awareness month so I thought it'd  be a perfect time and opportunity to bring Kacy back for a "Mental Health" episode.

On volume 6 we speak about our recent life events/struggles/triumphs and how we've navigated whatever life throws our way. 

I can not express how much it means to both Kacy and I, that yall are willing to open up and share your personal thoughts and stories on this matter. You guys rock. And I hope you keep tuning in!

WE ARE IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM, PROFESSIONALS OR EXPERTS ON THIS TOPIC....we just speak from the heart and hope it resonates with some of you

Kamaru Usman. 13 fight win streak, 3 time defending champ. Welterweight dominance.

How would he match up with my boy GSP?

Let me know your thoughts!
