My guest this week is a craft cocktail cultivator and Houston's entry in the Power of the Palate virtual cocktail competition, Ed Warner II, from The Ed Warner Experience. His story's amazing and original, he's seen it all and done it all, and now he shares his creative passion of building one of a kind drinks for people to enjoy. Why have a rum and coke when you can let Ed take your palate on an adventure? He's hung out with Bob Marley, George Clinton, and countless other music industry titans. He was sneaking into the Apollo Theater at age 13, and he planned on being a plastic surgeon.

This week's guest is super intriguing to me because not only is he a DJ during his "free time", but during the day he's a Harris County Public Defender, specifically for juveniles. I've never heard of a lawyer who was also an outstanding DJ, he's like freaking Bruce Wayne. We dive into why he will always choose red velvet cake over anything else, what lead him to get into being a DJ a little later in life, and how he balances his hectic work schedule with his hobby. Oh, he also just welcomed his first baby boy into the world. The man's a magician. Do you know what you wanted to be when you were eight?? I didn't, but this man did.

Collier Crisp and I have been best friends since the first grade and over the years he has transformed himself from the most plain and dry picky eater ever, into one of the best home cooks I've ever met. He's also started a Youtube channel called Crispy Concepts, and if you search for Doppler Crisp he'll have you laughing your ass off, shaking your head, and probably both. We got to hang out and talk about the importance of a fresh home cooked meal, filling a competitive void, and how being ocd doesn't limit creativity. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jay-a-veit/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jay-a-veit/support
