The Gentile Life Podcast

Season Finale is here!!! Today is a special episode as the passing of my NaNa was 1 year ago. 

Today I honor my Nana, which she would have hated, but it's not just me. I have on my cousin Lindsay, who was even closer to her than I was. Also, for the 1st time ever we recorded the show on location!!! We recorded at my cousin's bar Two Headed Dog! Yeah my cousin owns a bar!

We share some great stories and memories we have with her. This is a long episode but I hope you listen all the way through. 

I hope this is a reminder that you never how much time you have with the people you care about and love. We were lucky enough to have over 40 years with our NaNa.

So be sure you tell the person you love or care about, that you love and care about them!

We'll be back in about a month or so with all new episodes!

Lent is here and people are giving up certain things for 40 days. Even if it's not a part of their religion, they are still doing it.

I discuss what I might give up if I did Lent. 

Also what song is the most likely to get you pulled over in the car while driving? The list is very wrong.

I close out with someone suing Buffalo Wild Wings over BONELESS WING verbiage!!!

Yep a rant closes out the episode!  

With Valentines Day this weekend, I discuss something I heard on the radio. When you meet someone for the first time, do you dress and act like yourself or are you fake?

A guy decided to be fake and add more inches. Yeah MORE INCHES!!! It's not what you think..... or is it??? Have to listen to find out! 

Do you have an AI Girlfriend? Know someone who does? If so are you saying really???? So much talk of AI and now people have AI girlfriends and it's just sad. 

I discuss how this generation and how they approach dating.

Also add a mini rant about how there are TO many podcasts out there and how they now give you a Golden Globe for one. Think I have a chance to win?

At one point my dream was to be on Sportcenter and be like Stuart Scott. That dream shifted when I got to college.

I talk about the road to NOT achieving that dream and how it's ok to not achieve a dream you have. 

This is my story of not achieving my dream and how that came to be and why I'm ok with it. 

Stranger Things came to an end on New Years Eve. I discuss the ending so spoilers if you haven't seen it.

Also, I go on a little rant about the negativity surrounding the ending because, why not :)

The end of 2025 is here! For me personally it couldn't come fast enough. If you've listened to the last few episodes this year, you know why.

I take a look back at a few things that happened this year. The funny, sad, and just oh lord here we go moments.

Enjoy and Happy New Year's Eve everyone!

Merry Christmas everyone! 

This week I discuss the hiatus of the show from April till now. 

And since I didn't want this episode to be a sad episode, I talk about Christmas with my family over the years and how my mom talked shit one time about a game she bought me and the results of that game and much more!

The 100th was so big, I had to split it up! 

This is part 2 of my conversation with my best friend B.J. Johnson. We pick up the conversation talking about his truck. 

Then transition over to the pretty neighbors we had when I moved in across the street. Along with a great sneaking out story, the family summer trips, our favorite bar Corner Pocket, a hatchet incident, and what happened to a radio the night before floating the river. 

Still can't believe it. This is THE 100th episode of the show! Never imagined making this episode when I launched the podcast on Jan. 1st, 2020, but here we are!

I couldn't just do any old episode, so I decided to bring on one of my best friends to share stores from childhood through adulthood. 

We talked about our earliest memories of meeting each other, 6th grade and how that was a shit show, when my family moved across the street from him, and of course crazy driving stories.

Only 1 episode away from 100!! We hit 99 episodes of the show! Can you believe it? I know I can't but I couldn't be more excited to finally get to episode 99.

We all know I like to throw in a good rant now and again on this show. Well for 99 and to close out the season, I go on a rant! Oh but not just 1 rant. Oh no no no, one rant just won't due!

I got on 3 rants!!! So listen to these rants to close out the season as I prepare to unleash episode 100 sometime this summer!!

It never fails, Daylight Saving Time, not Savings apparently, comes and people just want to bitch, and bitch, and bitch about it. 

So much so they basically contradict themselves in my view. 

Time for another rant! See what I did there? :) 

Friends! How many of us have them?? FRIENDS!!! Ok did you sing that line? Of course you did! 

A few weeks back it was National Make a New Friend Day or something like that. When you're an adult with kids, it's hard to make new friends that don't involve your kids friends parents. 

Or is it? I discuss it!

Social Media is just ridiculous now. Like seriously!

So many scam accounts out there tricking people into giving away money.

Then sites where they post ghost jobs that don't exist or have been filled for years.

Time to rant!!!

We have been on a small hiatus because we had another unexpected event happen in the family.

We lost my NaNa, my mom's mother, and it has been rough with how we lost my mother just 4 months ago.

I share some stories of my NaNa and how much she meant to me. 

Well it finally happened, I'm an old man! I talk about the Super Bowl Halftime show with Kendrick Lamar and how I was clearly not the demographic.

Guess I need to start yelling at folks, "To Get Off My Lawn!!!" 

You know who was popular? Not this guy, let me tell you that! I discuss why having a lot of friends does not make you popular. My wife keeps trying to tell me I was in high school.

I also share about the group of friends I had in high school and the name we called ourselves. Trust me, you will want to hear all about it

They are trying to do away with Movie Trailers?? Some douche Politian in Connecticut is trying to do that basically. Also, word to the wise, don't fight out in below freezing temperatures WITH OUT PANTS! Something might get stuck to the ground 

Tiktok went away! Oh wait then it came back? I discuss all that nonsense along with other things relating to this platform.

I brag on my wife who did an amazing thing this past weekend and I have 2 of the cutest, possibly greatest guests ever, to help open the show! 

All my ex's live in Texas! Ok not all of them but about 98% do. Heard a question on my radio morning show I listen to.

I talk about should you tell your husband/wife/fiancé if a friend of yours is starting to hang around a lot more and it was someone you use to date?

I talk about my ex's and also share a fun driving to the new job traffic story
