I have had a LOT of people asking me about Cryptos and stocks recently. I've done very well in both departments. However, I'm no wizard, nor am I exceptionally educated in the topics. I'm proof that you don't have to be. Here's me telling you what I know. I hope this helps someone. One thing I've learned is many people have no fu Kung clue where to start. I didn't either until Mellisa put me on the right track and I found apps to easily work with.

This week I sit down with Robert! He trained as a chef, he's a great Dudgeon Master in our DnD games (or pathfinder) and he sold his bitcoin early on. The goal was take it easy with the drinking, but we popped a bottle of 10 year Bulleit Bourbon, and drank most of it. We talk about Dungeons and Dragons, he talks about his cooking journey, and he wants kids?! He's a great dude and I had a blast doing this. We also continued the fun afterwards, and decided to go full Hun and jump the neighbors fence to hang out with them too. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/barcastpodcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/barcastpodcast/support

This week I catch up with an old friend who I met back from the, you guessed it, pizza pirate days of my youth. Nick is an intelligent and interesting dude, who's accomplishments include being a decent Smash Bros player, but also a professional brewer. More interestingly, is that he started off in a garage doing home brews, and stuck with it, improved himself and applied his knowledge and now gets paid for doing what he loves. AND he brought 3 of his brews to the podcast, which was a god damned treat. give it up for one rad dude, pop a homebrew, and enjoy suckas!! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/barcastpodcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/barcastpodcast/support

This week Sit down with the original podcast supporter JB, he doesn't even like podcasts but supports people doing things they believe in which for me is even more meaningful. He's a guy I met many years ago at the old Pizza joint, and his ol' lady Anna Joined him on the podcast. I'm not smart and so was unable to set up her headset for the podcast, AND i screwed up the settings for the first 15 minutes so that's why JB is quite AND the jukebox turned on during the podcast, AND my computer almost died because it wasn't plugged in all the way.

This week I sit down with fellow bartender and long time friend of mine Shannon Bettencourt. We talk about the differences of being a dude vs being a chick behind the bar and our high school scams. She keeps calculating for inflation, and the difference of moving 100 miles away from our hometown. Especially during covid. She also talk about her home made zombie sauce, it's made with some cheese I cant pronounce. And we both struggle throughout the podcast with coasters... --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/barcastpodcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/barcastpodcast/support

We go down the road and reminisce on road trips, Lincoln town cars, and abusing our sober powers at the old pizza joint many years ago. He was the first tech wizard I ever met, and he had remained top tier through the years. We did this remotely, and I swore their wouldn't be audio syncing issues, but there was a bit. I should have listened to Shazbot, because he's definitely smarter than me. Hail the TKC. Real names can suck it.

Matt Decker and I sit down an discuss the benefits of Benicia, how moving to Oakland was his safe choice, and if Kanye is the greatest composer of all time. He's a Tattoo artist, a father and a DM! He's a guy who came into the bar with cool hats, and a good attitude, and we hit it off quickly, originally because of our common interest in Dungeons and Dragons, but later on I began to enjoy him for his diverse and philosophical mindset. He grew up in a time when being a "nerd" was physically dangerous, where nowadays it helps you open a Vegan Chili café in Portland. This dude is awesome for a great many reasons, and we recorded about a third of our conversation that night. I had a great time, I hope you enjoy it suckas!

This week I tried out a live podcast. Because why not. Did it go as if imagined, no. Was it interesting, I thought so. It was a nice experiment to see if anyone was interested. Graham and Robert called in. There was some reception issues. But I learned that the two know each other. And I learn Robert snd I know way more people I. Common than I ever could have thought. It's a weird one. And Graham gets disconnected but Robert and I wind up talking about DND for a while. It showed me we're all connected, and I should have him on a real episode. Also turns out my house is fine. Jennifer just lit the fireplace with the Flu closed and smoked out the house! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/barcastpodcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/barcastpodcast/support

He talks about his journey and why he left town, and the trials he's endured. And how far he's come, and how we can always grow and improve ourselves, even when there is no one to help you. He talks about the physical and mental changes he's gone through, and how happiness can be attained. It was really great to catch up, and it filled me with joy to see how far my friend has come over the years, enjoy dudes!!

This week we flip it around, Bill Jones decides to turn the podcast around on me! He asks me about myself and runs the show as his own. Also he came with a big ass list of questions, and took notes based on my responses, which turned into new questions. If there's something I don't like, it's talking about myself so this was a good experience for me.

I sit down with a wonderful friend i made through the bar, Nizam. He enjoys his blood orange IPA and his signature spot at the bars corner. He's calm and collected, and willing to talk to everyone, yet has no issue minding himself. (just don't call him Thomas) He's kind, and honest, and fortunately for me, our bar was close to the bus stop. In this episode he drops some history lessons about his home Bangladesh, his journey to the states, and the time he bumped into a tiger. I had a great time getting to know him more personally during this, and it continues to prove the essence of the podcast.

I sit down with an amazing woman who works in the trenches every day with the sick and the dying. In a normal day this is a just and admirable cause, however its doubly so in the age of Covid. We talk about the virus, the vaccine, pros and cons, and her daily struggle. Then in a strange turn of events we connect on a topic familiar to me, that I've avoided discussing on the podcast so far. It really goes to show that just talking to people that you already know, can yield the most interesting topics.

Fuck yeah!  He's traveled the world, seen many cultures, and has plenty of stories. Now he's retired but not like most people. He's out riding his motorcycle, rolling cigs and smokin joints,  and drinking plenty of coffee. Enjoying his time and life, not dilapidating on the couch. And he tells a fantastic story at the end.

Beard, check. Long Hair, check. Overly positive perspective on enjoying life because it is fickle and death is imminent, check! Me and my man Cory sit down and cover ground. Here's a guy I met through a friend, and we have like interests, but more interestingly, we have found completely separate paths, only to come to the same conclusions about things like happiness, self worth, and life. There's much to be learned from the hard lessons of life, and self reflection is inherently difficult, but it is powerful. And psychedelics may just be the key. Sure they are currently illegal where we reside, but at one time so was alcohol, birth control, and interracial marriage. If something exists than can open your mind, change your narrow perspective, help you with your self worth and image, and PTSD, it's time to reconsider its legal standing. Enjoy suckas!!

She's the OG of the bar. The Mother Hen, the Queen Bee, the glue that binds us. She's put in almost 20 years at our beautiful establishment. Before Covid, before food, before the remodel, before beer on tap, before smoking was banned, she was there. At 5 years in, she makes me look like its my first day. She's learned a trick or 12, can fill the bar with the snap of her fingers, and is the definition of working smarter not harder. Some call her Cow-Girl, some call her meat smuggler.
