Barely Alive Podcast

All good things must come to an end. This show will be the last under the Barely Alive Podcast Banner. Not to fear! We take a look back at some of our favorite guests and talk about our new show and format that we will be releasing soon! We thank everyone who has supported the show and hope that, if it's your thing, you'll join us as we start The Great American Botch!

We just aren't ready to call this episode 50 as we are pretty much in denial. We will get there! On this sort of episode the guys talk about potential plans for when they are ready for a 50th episode, Bubba has second thoughts about turning 50, and the guys talk about trips they've taken.

Holy long term hiatus, Batman! It's literally been over a year. It's been difficult, crazy, and full of ups and downs but we are once again back with another episode. We have some new equipment on this one so we do apologize for any difference in the sound. On this episode we give another update of what's been happening and give our final thoughts on what we learned from the pandemic now that we are coming out of it.

The guys have emerged from our quarantine caves! Bubba and Kyle rise again to bring a show to update how they have been doing during the pandemic. They also discuss how things feel after 40 and they get a nice preview of their next episode with their next guest!

As we get "over the hill" with our show, we wonder, just what the hell is this show? We get asked all the time, but we really don't have a one size fits all answer.....until now!

March Madness?! More like MUNCH MADNESS. We give you a break from all the basketball, brackets, and upsets and have a real debate.....about the best breakfast cereal. Also, we call up our friend Mark to plan Bubba's 50th birthday in Vegas....which won't be for another few years.

Hello listeners! We fell of the face of the earth, and we're really sorry about that. BUT like always, life gets in the way and can be absolute hell sometimes. Both of us tell why we haven't been able to record in so long. We hope you enjoy our misery.

We're at it once again trying things we shouldn't. It's part 2 of our adventures in trying new things! This time we expand our horizons into different types of alcohol, more snacks, and Bubba gives Essential Oils a shot while Kyle almost gets drunk.

In honor of our last episode about picky eaters, we decided to see just how open our own culinary tastes were. In this episode we try two of bags of 'experimental' flavored chips and a new Pepsi flavor. We hope you enjoy our suffering!

After yet another long absence we are back to recording! There's so much going on these days that while it's a struggle to regularly record, we haven't forgotten! This week's show slowly evolved into a discussion about our favorite foods and our thoughts on picky eaters. Give your earholes something good!

Out with Valentine's Day, we're getting right into St. Patty's! To get a jump start on everyone's favorite drinking holiday, we are honored to talk with Tony Duggins, lead singer of the Celtic folk group The Tossers! A long time band on the Celtic rock/folk scene, we talk about their roots, inspirations, their new album, and his favorite on stage beverage!

Our first show since Bubba's been sidelined! We wanted our first show of 2017 to be as awesome as possible. How do we do that? We interview a Face Off contestant of course! Melissa Ebbe from the All Stars Season 11 joins us to talk about the show, her own endeavors, and some of her favorite things in general. We also check in on how Bubba's been since he's been out for a while.

To fill your earholes this time we bring you more randomness and eargasms (a real thing thanks to our friend Vincent M. Ward)! We also make a random call to adult film star Norah Nova because, why the hell not?

Hey folks! We did another live Facebook show when we recorded this so thanks for listening if you didn't catch the video! On this episode we discuss how we swapped beards, Kyle disproves Bubba's theory on Rage Against the Machine Lyrics, and we're haunted by Lester the Puppet.

Hey people! We're back to talk more of the woes of moving and Bubba has the Salad Sweats. We really don't know what those are but we do our damn best to try and figure out why they happened to him.

Another very special guest joins the guys for an inspirational tale of survival and making the most of life. Former WWE Superstar Nick "Bully" Busick calls in to talk about life in and out of wrestling, how he has overcome cancer, and what the future holds for the man. He and Bubba also reminisce and connect over their Stubenville roots and have great stories there as well! We hope that you enjoy whether or not you're a wrestling fan!

We like to keep things positive on the podcast. We're not gonna lie, this one turned into one big ass bitch fest! Kyle describes in detail his nightmare with his apartment and Bubba rants about folks in the fast lane on the highway. We really lay it all out there in this episode so prepare for the horrors that await!

On this very special episode of the show we get a rare opportunity to talk to wrestling legend and the man behind DDP Yoga, DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE! DDP joins us to talk about the recently released documentary The Resurrection of Jake the Snake, the future of DDP Yoga, and a few wrestling stories too! DDP has been a huge inspiration for us and we know you'll enjoy his energy!

Once again we talk to a contestant from one of our favorite shows, Syfy's Face Off! On this episode we talk with Season 10 contestant Jennifer Bowden. We talk about her time on the show, her favorite shows and music, and as always we ask her other random questions as well! Bubba may have found his soulmate and you'll find out when you listen!

It seems like these episodes keep getting farther and farther apart! On this edition of the show we discuss comic book movies, other things about movies, Kyle denounces pro wrestling, and the guys try the live facebook feed for the first time!

We are just going to apologize in advance for this episode. We both worked 10-12 hour shifts, had alcohol, and then thought doing a show would be a good idea. Did we also mention that we were both recovering from illness? Yeah, there's that too. Amongst all the randomness we did recap our trips we took to Tennessee (where Kyle got drunk) and Hocking Hills (where Bubba got in touch with nature). Enjoy!

Hey Peeps! It's just Kyle and Bubba this week as we get back to just BS'ing. On this episode we talk about our experiences at the movies, the election, and we call the grocery store for a specific item.

HELLO PEOPLE! After a long (and not quite sure if it was necessary) hiatus the Barely Alive Podcast is back on for you ear holes! We kick off 2016 the best way possible, by talking Valentine's day with adult film legend and friend of the show Nina Hartley! Nina stops by the show once again to discuss politics, sex, relationships, and what her ideal Valentine's Day is as well what the day should mean to all of us. We hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!

HE'S FINALLY DONE IT!!! Bubba has put his Twitter stalking skills to good use and has finally realized a dream. This week we talk to the awesome Erin Ryder from Syfy's "Destination Truth". On this episode Erin shares the one investigation she won't ever go back to, the importance of respecting belief in the paranormal, and her ideal breakfast, lunch, and dinner among other things!

WOW THAT WAS A LONG MONTH. We know it's been a while since we had a show but we're back once again for your earholes! This week's episode celebrates one of the toughest professions, Nursing! We have friends and family who are in the nursing profession and we appreciate their hard work! However, nobody tells stories from the hospital like Keith does! A friend of the show and nursing pro himself, Keith stops by to tell us just what these hardworking individuals do on a daily basis, the importance of prescription abuse awareness, and we have a lot of laughs as well!

Season 6 of The Walking Dead is almost upon us! To get amped up for the new season this week we chat with Vincent M. Ward. Fans of the show will remember him as Oscar in the prison from Season 3. Vincent dishes about what it was like on the show, his Ohio roots, and the power of Eargasms! This is one episode you don't want to miss!!

It's a special episode of snacks, alcohol, humor, and zero transition. On this episode we talk to Jen Bartels from the TruTV show "Friends of the People"! Jen talks about what it's like doing the show, her latest work on ladyfreakcomedy.com, working with pro wrestlers, and how awesome it is to know Kate MacKinnon!

What do you get when you mix New Orleans, haunted houses, horror make up, titties, liquor, and a cool reality show? A conversation with Kelly Harris of course! The Season 8 contestant from SyFy's "Face Off" joins us for a few laughs and some behind the scenes scoop on one of our favorite shows! A perfect kickoff to our Halloween season! (Yes for us it starts in September.)

This week we have talented up and coming actress Cortney Palm! She has been featured in movies such as "Sushi Girl" alongside Mark Hamill and Tony Todd, as well as the cult favorite "Zombeavers". Cortney keeps it real as she dishes on the film industry, how she got started, animal rights, and more. Stay up to date on this page as well as our facebook and twitter feed @BarelyAliveShow for a kickstarter link to support one of her latest projects "Bond: Kizuna".

A very special episode for the loyal listeners! Adult film legend Nina Hartley joins the show to talk about sex, politics, and sexual politics! One of the most fun conversations we have ever had with anyone! Nina is also affiliated with the Woodhull Sexual Freedom Alliance. The group is an advocate of sexual freedoms and human rights.

We are happy to invade your ear holes once again!! On this show Kyle tells of his turn to go to a wedding, the guys talk about multitasking in bed, and Bubba tells a story of his mini/half stroke he had while driving to work. The computer and the mixer didn't completely agree on this show either but we still appreciate you listening and we will keep working on getting the quality back to normal.

Our friend Liz stops by to answer your odd animal questions, or just odd questions in general. Keep in mind her advice is for entertainment purposes only and if you actually have problems don't be dumb, see a professional.

In this very sports-heavy edition of the podcast we discuss our thoughts on WWE Battleground and more specifically whether or not Brock Lesnar (Bork Laser) made the right career choice by going back to WWE instead of the UFC. We also discuss how nobody cares about All Star Games, especially the MLB game. We try to come up with some improvements but you can't really improve something that's so bad you'd rather just throw it away, right?

We just won't go away so SORRY NOT SORRY. On this episode, we discuss odd halls of fame, whether or not we are hall of fame worthy, and the evolution of The Weather Channel.

Hope every one enjoyed father's day! On this episode we talk about some weird and controversial topics, Bubba convinces me of false information, and we call Liz for an opinion.

WE MADE IT TO TEN! Now we need to see whether or not we survive past this mile stone. On this episode we pay tribute to the late great American Dream Dusty Rhodes who recently passed away. We also dive into things that make us nauseous. Enjoy!

We went into this unprepared but we still managed to get a full show together. Whether or not it's listenable is up to you! In this episode Bubba recaps his experience at a wedding, we talk about other big things happening on the show, and we discuss random facebookers.

Expedited the upload of this show for our friend Daniesha! On this episode we talk about "realistic movie" people, proper toilet etiquette, and we perform our wrestling promos we wrote for each other! Bubba was sick for this episode so we hope everybody appreciates him toughing it out! Opening: Can't Stop Won't Stop - "Stop Drop n Roll" Closing: High N Mighty - "B-Boy Document 99"

After a near two week hiatus we finally got the new equipment! We should have our s#!t together by 2050. We appreciate everyone keeping the complaining to a minimum while we were in our failhard period. The title is pretty self explanatory so no contents section this week. Just Listen! DO IT! Opening: Can't Stop Won't Stop - "Stop Drop n Roll" Closing: High N Mighty - "B-Boy Document 99"

We are going to apologize right now. The sound quality is AWFUL. Kyle messed up the recording so we are unfortunately stuck with it. This show was still so much fun to do. We had a group of friends come over and talk about their favorite bands, concert experiences, and who would run their City of Rock and Roll. We appreciate the patience of our listeners as well as the effort from our guests on this show. So many great stories, it's still worth a listen! Opening - Can't Stop Won't Stop - "Stop Drop n Roll" Closing - High N Mighty - "B-Boy Document 99"
