The Gentile Life Podcast

So who is the boss? Sure as shit isn't me! No, I'm talking about my personal life. I'm talking about at work.

I got posed with a question would I ever want to be a boss? My response was nope, I'm good. I've had experience being the "boss" or in some type of leader role.

I take a trip down memory lane about my work history and how just about every job I've had, wanted me to be a leader.

I close out this very long episode (sorry) with a story about how someone tried to secretly fire me and what happened when I found out. 

As adults we all need a day for just us. No kids, nothing. Just relaxation!

It's different for everyone but we do something fun at our house.

We just had our 4th Annual Adult Swim. Adults only, no kids. Just hanging out in our pool, drinking, smoking, and just having a good time!

This year we did a 90's theme and I discuss the day and why it's important. 

Welp, it's finally here. My oldest daughter turned 9 not to long ago and the EMOTIONS are here!

I mean I can't say I was ready but I thought I was prepared. Stop laughing. Hey fuck off! Stop laughing!!!

Ok you're justified to laugh at me. I discuss in detail of the dealing with my daughter's emotions. 

Enjoy my misery 

More and more people have decided they would rather drink before going into a sporting event because of the high beer prices.

Shit I've been doing that since I was a teenager! This is not a new concept. I share a few stories about drinking before going into a sporting event. 

I share an old Astrodome story, tail gating before a Texans game, and just why I would drink before going into the stadium.

Do you try to avoid your neighbors? Apparently 1 out of 3 people say they try to avoid their neighbors. 

I talk about why you should not avoid your neighbors and I share some stories of my neighbors growing up.

I also discuss the trip to Chicago and how amazing that trip was!

Thank goodness I grew up in the decade I did. My high school grades were not available online for my mom to just check on anytime she wants.

Now that my girls are in school, I get to see first hand how they do grades and it's just a flat out joke and ridiculous.

Yeah back to back rants to kick start the new season

I'm back baby! After taking some time off to focus on broadcasting some high school baseball, it's time to rant!

Yeah I wrote down some things that have been going on and top of that list how expensive everything is today. Like LITERALLY everything.

Throughout the episode I make multiple references about being told it's raining. 

You're gonna want to listen to this one!

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!
