The Gentile Life Podcast

It's been 11 weeks since our last show. After taking some time off, it's time to catch up! Talk about my youngest "graduation" from Pre-K and that nonsense, dad turning 70, 8 years married and hosting our 2nd annual adult swim!

I got a few things on the mind that I will be discussing this season as well. AI, Situationships, the Tom Brady Roast, #blockout224 dumb shit, and clipping.

It's going to be a good season! 

Season finale is here and it falls on the 75th episode!! I was going to end the season talking about my friend Bethany with some of our mutual friends. However, that didn't pan out, at least not yet. That episode will happen though!

I decided to end the season talking directly to my daughters about how they should never be who other people want them to be. To always be themselves and don't let others dictate who they are as a person. 

A lot of thoughts and opinions on the internet and social media as a whole and how those things effect kids when they think they need to be someone else.

Thank you to everyone that has listened this season! Excited to start season 5 at some point this summer! 

Oh come on! You know it's true! Kids are so damn cute, but man are they assholes! It's time to bring back the topic that was the 2nd episode ever of this show!

I talk about how my kids, now older than they were 4 years ago, are so damn cute but man they are assholes sometimes! Because it's 4 years later, it's happening more! AHHH!

Oh and if you are an adult, without kids, and have an opinion on it.....well I got some choice words for you *wink wink*

Who doesn't love the 90's? I mean so much of the 90's has been making it's way back, so why not talk about it. Of course there are certain things from the 90's that we will never see again.

I talk about those things and just how great the 90's were to grow up in.

I also got a NEW TOY!!! That's right the 1st 5 minutes were fun to record. I hope you make it past those 5 minutes to enjoy the episode! 

This is getting ridiculous. Like seriously, what the actual F? This episode/topic I really didn't want to talk about. 

However, after certain events happening on a national level and locally in my city, I just felt the need to get this certain thing off my chest.

This was not an easy topic to talk about but trust me, there was some anger, passion, and a lot of frustration in my voice this week.

Oh VD, how you just always come around. Oh calm down I'm talking Valentine's Day, not that VD. 

This week I discuss this ridiculous holiday and my feelings and thoughts around it. 

Yeah so this weeks episode as a lot to do with, well.....nothing! Sorry, I actually didn't have anything to really discuss this week.

I had just gotten home from being out of town doing a recruiting trip on the campus of University of Texas. So I wasn't able to prepare anything. 

Just like working out, you don't skip leg day, I don't skip out on doing an episode! Even if I don't have anything prepared! 

So sit back and relax for almost 25 minutes of me just talking about my recruiting trip, the excitement of not having kids this past weekend and a few other things.

Enjoy!  

AI has taken over! Down the yellow brick, ok not so much yellow brick but down the rabbit hole I go! 

I kick off the show talking about my frustations about paying my HOA. I hate HOA's then I go into scams you now see on TV from people saying they can tell you if you are going to Heaven or Hell.

I close out the show talking about AI now creating girlfriends for people! 

This shit is getting out of control! Listen to hear how bad it's gotten!

Like the title says, I'm talking HOA, Scams, and AI, OH F'ing MY! 

To discipline, or not to discipline, seems to always be the hot button question. Not in this house! My kid acts up, you best believe I will discipline them! Teacher says, your kid was doing X, Y, and Z, I will believe the teacher.

I talk about my oldest for the first time acting up in school, and it wasn't really that bad but still had to shut it down. Also ended up being SUPER side tracked and talking about by sub teaching days. I share 2 stories of when I subbed high school and how I thought we were so screwed as a society because of what happened. 

Let's just say, those kids now, are in their 20's. Yeah. Enjoy the episode! 

Working 9-5! Sing it Dolly! Well don't sing it toward Gen Z or the younger generation. A few months back a young lady went on Tik Tok and complained about her 9-5 job right out of college. 

It was very split down the middle with the reaction it got. I talk about who really failed in this situation and also break down some of the things she complains about. 

Come on and take a listen because we are complaining 9-5!!

Sometimes you just want to say something to your kids, not that you actually would but you want to. I kick off this episode talking about what that is.

Also I look back on what happened in 2023, Matthew Perry dying, massive technology layoffs, nepotism nonsense, and of course what changed with the Gentiles in 2023 and myself.

Check it out! 

We are back and the funny thing is, I didn't want to do the show again. So why the hell are you back you ask? Simple, I'm here for my girls. I dive into the reason why I'm here doing this again for my girls.

Take a listen because it's not just a "just because" reason. There is a deeper meaning behind it and I hope it helps you with anything difficult you are going through in your life.

So gives us a like or subscribe where ever you get your podcasts! Hope you enjoy the episode! 

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!
