The Gentile Life Podcast

For the 1st time in years, St. Patrick's Day was celebrated by the Gentiles! I talk about our experience going to a St. Patrick's Day Party in downtown Houston along with running into our good friend Billy Parker. Which I will say it is NEVER a dull moment with him around! 

Ever have someone tell you how you should be? How you should dress? How you should talk? How you should act? I discuss that others opinions of how you should be should not dictate and control your life. I share how I have had to deal with those things my whole life, and still till this day.

My interview with Suzan Nguyen will not be airing this week. We recorded our episode at her Connecting with the Community event, but I made a mistake when recording and our audio was not usable. I am highly upset and disappointed in myself. 

Instead of not putting out an episode, I decided to own up to my mistake and apologize to Suzan and everyone that came to this show for that interview. That's what this show is all about, real life, and in real life we make mistakes. 

If you could travel in time, would you go to the past? Or to the future? Everyone has their reasons why and I share which way I would go. Also, did you know 71% of people who make plans, wish they would fall through so they could stay home? Yeah I rant about that too and how we as a society have lost all human connection

Come out to the Quad, we're going streaming! This week I talk about the amount of streaming services that we have out there. Is it a good thing or a bad thing? Is it worth it? Take a listen and see what side of the fence I fall on! Which side are you on?

Imagine going to the movies where you can't pick your seat. You have to find out about the times in a newspaper or call the theatre for the automated message of times. You had to wait in a long line to get into the theater. Well believe it or not, that is how it used to be! I bring back on my good friend Ashley Clark to talk about going to the movies then vs now. A lot has changed!

Our 1st guest of 2022 is none other than Jimmy The Kid, professional wrestler out in Georgia! I've known him for a very long time, we grew up in La Porte, TX and even played on the same little league team. He is coming home this Sat. Feb. 5th to perform for the 1st time in front of his home town fans! We talk about his career and everything professional wrestling. Check it out!

It's never to late to make a change in your life. I'm doing that right now! It all started in Feb. 2021 when I decided it was time to start putting my health first. Starting this week I take me changing my health to the next level. Take a listen as to what I am doing, why I'm doing it, and how I keep myself motivated to do it. You never know, maybe listening to this episode, will help you make a change you've been meaning to do in your life!

What if we lost the internet and cell phones for good? What would you do? Would you "survive"? I mean no more texting, streaming movies/tv shows, influencers, tik tok challenges. What would you do? 

Lordy is fun being 40! During the hiatus of the show, I turned 40 years old. On this episode I discuss life in my 20's and how it shaped life in my 30's. I share some lessons learned, mistakes that were made, and how those mistakes helped me. Oh and I was also extremely hung over when doing this episode. Listen to find out why!

Welcome back everyone and Happy New Year! 2022 is here and the show is BACK! After 7 long months of being away, I am back with a new episode! This episode I am explaining why I had a long hiatus and give a cliff note version of what has been going on from May 2021 till now. 

I also explain the mistake I made in leaving my job back in July of 2020 and what I should have done to make it better.

I am back and excited to talk, as my wife would say, All the Things with you! New topics will be discussed, new guests, familiar guests and even familiar topics that need to be updated.

Get ready because 2022 is going to be a fun time! Welcome to Season 3!

Ever know a guy who is always smiling and having a good time? Well Clem Carter was that guy for me! I've known him since T-ball and let me tell you. This guy had the biggest damn smile I had ever seen! Always smiling and having fun! 

I put the invite out to my graduation class of 2000 if anyone wanted to come on the show and catch up for me to put out there. Just in case someone couldn't attend the reunion but wanted to know how they were doing. Clem reached out immediately and said let's do this!

We talk about our time in La Porte, why he joined the military right after high school, his time in Germany, and his excitement for attending our 21 year reunion since he missed the 10.

21 years! We are legal to drink! Wow 21 years ago I graduated from high school! Crazy to think about. We couldn't celebrate our 20th because of COVID. What an asshole! 

So we are going to celebrate 21 years of being away in August. I decided to put an invitation out there for anyone from that class to come on the show and discuss their time at good ol La Porte High School. Feel like it's a good idea on paper but not sure anyone will take up the offer. You know because NO ONE likes to talk anymore. It's all about texting and snapchat bullshit.

Very short episode so I hope you enjoy!

Do you prefer to do everything online? Shop for your clothes? Date? Getting groceries? Movies? etc.

I discuss how we as a society have now gone into the world of almost no human interaction at all. Everything is starting to be done through online platforms and I share how I feel about certain things being done online vs in person.

We survived Vegas! Took an extra week off to just relax. I talk about our time in Vegas and how having fans back in the stands at sporting events is a good thing. How thing are so different compared to this time last year.

Time to celebrate! My 5 year wedding anniversary is here with my wife! I share the crazy story of how we met, the fun times we had, and the struggle of being married. It's great being with the person you love more than anything, but being married is not easy. I discuss the good, bad, and ugly of the past 5 years. 

Ah Spring Break. A time when you just let loose and have some fun. Well I for sure had some fun during a lot of my Spring Breaks in my 20's. I share some stories of past during Spring Breaks. Lots of drinking and partying for sure. Thank goodness there was no social media back then!

We are back!!! It's been over a month since our last episode. Where have I been? Well I talk about that on this weeks episode. Also, today is St. Patrick's Day!!!!!! I talk about my time having fun on this glorious holiday!

Man did I LOVE college! I for sure partied hard and lets just say, I have A LOT of stories from my college days. I decided to talk about my old college days at SFA and share just a few of those stories. I couldn't do this episode alone, so I brought on my friend Tammy Dudek, who I met in college, to join me! We discuss Jitterbugs, the Anex, how we met, fun stories/experiences, and so much more!

Part 2 of the Ultimate 80's Movie Tournament! The 1st round was pretty intense but let me tell you, this episode is even more intense! The panelists didn't use their veto's in that 1st round, but trust me, they are used in this episode! There are some shocking developments in this episode based on things said in part 1.

Who will win and be voted as the Ultimate 80's Movie Tournament Champion?
