    Glenn, one of my best friends and local stand-up comic, and I talk student loan forgiveness, the the Brew-Ha-Ha (Cincinnati's own tandem comedy/beer festival which he will be performing at), and most importantly: he shatters my biases on a supremely factual level regarding mayonnaise vs. Miracle Whip... Which, I've decided, I will never forgive him for. Thanks for coming back, y'all. It's been far too long.

    My guest for this episode is Ali Jones, a molecular biologist at The Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, ME. A literal goddamn scientist. I can't say enough about how interesting this episode was, and I learned a TON in my conversation with her. We talked animal rights in lab testing, advancements in the field, microscopic surgeries, and a bunch of other stuff that you honestly should just listen to. I'll definitely bring her back on, because I have SO MANY MORE QUESTIONS!

    My official thrice-returning guest on the pod, Alyson and I cover a wide range of topics (most of which are mentioned in the title), and we parse through what it means to us to be human (again). Ultimately, this was a such a fun one for me, so I encourage everyone to reach out to her and advise her that her OWN podcast should definitely be in her future - as well as restarting her blog. You might not agree with our opinions, but don't sit here and say you didn't laugh. :) Looking forward to the next time, my friend.

    Jacque & Chase are disgustingly adorable married lovebirds who are raising their son together while working regular 9-5s as well as performing awesome, high-energy covers to pay their bills as functional adults. The band name is "Miss Jacque," and I've been at enough of their shows to confirm that they are, in fact, a good time. At any rate, we touched on numerous topics, including Dave Chappelle and his unquestionable comedic genius, bisexual married relationships, Jacque's affinity for Bill Hader, and I also tried to sell them both on watching "Throw Momma from the Train" with Danny DeVito & Billy Crystal juuust for the one time. Damn, it was good to round out 20 entire podcasts with these two fools. Absolutely canNOT wait to do it again. #FuckYoCouch #WhatAmISupposedToDoAboutMyLegs

    Ben is a married & dedicated father, small business owner of Be Strong KY, competitive weightlifter, and personal trainer. He wore a tank top to showcase his build simply to spite me (I'm sure of it) (actually, I'm totally joking), but seriously - we spoke so little of what he actually does for a living that he's going to have to come on again simply because tonight's conversation was so damn organically human. We disagreed on several important points, and yet somehow... We still had an amazing conversation.  Imagine that. Truly looking forward to having him on again. This is definitely your guy if you're looking for a lifestyle change, mental health adjustment via the body, or something a bit more cerebral. Happy Thursday, y'all. Amy Holland's recommendations rarely disappoint. The evidence is here. :)

    Jesus tap-dancing Kentucky-fried Christ, I haven't said so little because I was laughing, being insulted, or laughing at being insulted in such a long time. It turns out that when you bring 4 hilarious comics onto your shitty kitchen podcast, you either get a lot done, or you get absolutely nothing done. It all depends on your perspective.  Please support your local comedy scene. It is truly the final frontier for free speech, and also jokes about my two mini-beards, large foreheads, and whether or not Glenn & Jay need booster seats to see over their own steering wheels. Another good one in the books. Also, thank you, Albuterol. You the real MVP.

    My dad just died. This is a rescheduled episode from exactly one month ago. Alyson helps me deal with my shit, spread some laughter, and talk about humanity. We also talk about Mel Gibson, epilepsy, and why we are the way we are.   Definitely one of my favorite episodes, and for me - one of the most important. Can't wait for the next one.

    The biggest pod yet - and what will probably result in at least a monthly political panel in some capacity- I was honored with the input & participation of the following (alphabetically ordered) guests:  +Adam Collins: "38 year old former and current candidate for Hamilton City Council. Atheist humanist, putting the betterment of humankind above all else. My main goal in life is to try to leave the world a better place than when I got here. Ultra liberal far leftist. Fuck the system." +Jake Dingler: "30. Queer communist/Maoist. Welder by trade, gig worker by circumstance. Social justice organizer with various groups around Cincinnati." +Tara Doerzbacher: "31. Intentional living. Feminist. Gatherer of plants and books and non committal men. Moderate Liberal." +Tyler Herrmann: 31. Unapologetic Republican. Lawyer. Gubment employee & burgeoning/lightweight established politician. "Tyler has several letters after his name, but still knows very little. Also, he likes elephants." +Dr. Amy Holland: Au. D. Libertarian. Former small business owner & private practician, current Clinical Director for a large (but family-owned) hearing health business in OH & KY. Sassy-pants. Deadpanner unrivaled. She's a class-act human being, rational to a fault, and sometimes she makes too much goddamn sense. In an increasingly divisive country, I sought to lay the groundwork for a dialogue across the political spectrum. I hope you enjoy these different & often conflicting viewpoints as much as I enjoyed having them on.

    David Owens is the uncle and one of the loving survivors of his niece, Madison, who passed away in 2017 due to neuroblastoma that was detected pre-birth. She was 9 years, 9 months, and 9 days old. Madison became a precious beacon of sunshine during her hard-fought battle with cancer. Her unlimited positivity and hopeful outlook, despite her eventual prognosis, resulted in waves of media attention from numerous people and organizations, and it was my absolute honor and privilege to speak to a man who was there with her through it all. Now a husband and father himself, David reflects on both of their journeys, the lessons she taught him, and how she shaped the person he is today. Please consider a donation, a word of encouragement/support, or both, to The Dragonfly Foundation, and/or Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center in Madison's memory. #TeamMadison #GoneButLivingOn #999

    Amy Holland (Dr., by the way - put some respecc on her name) is a clinically adept audiologist with both an exceptional bedside manner AND a withering motherly gaze if she feels like you need taken down a peg or 7. She is also my close friend, former boss & small business owner, proud dog/human-mom, Clinical Director for Acute Hearing (a well-known, reputable, and family-owned hearing business in KY & OH, and my former workplace), and honestly just an overall great person to have in your corner if you're in need of fantastic hearing healthcare, solid life advice, or sarcasm that is both limitless and growth-promoting.   I also promised my kids they could say "hi" to everyone after episode 10, so I exacted a small measure of revenge upon Amy by forcing her to talk to them.   Together, we touch on the increasing lack of human decency on social media, revisit the trials of yet another small business impacted by the coronavirus, what it was like for both of us navigating the closing of her Ascent practice, and her infinite patience with me despite snoring in her lobby and stomping a literal mudhole all the way to my desk.   I hope you enjoy this episode with the type of person I hope everyone has the opportunity to call both an employer AND a friend as much as *I* enjoyed making her visibly uncomfortable because I know she hates compliments. This is, after all, my pod... And I do what I want.

    KFYT S2E5 (#13) / You're A Knockout #10:    As we both run our own podcasts, we have agreed that on this episode, we are guests on each other's shows, and it's available on both of our channels.   Rachel (whose first published episode is what kickstarted me into actually making my own podcast a thing) is a wonderfully talented high school friend of mine - but more importantly, she is a licensed cosmetologist & small business owner of Knockout Beauty, ukulele/vocal hobbyist, lung cancer activist & awareness-raiser for groups like the LUNGevity Foundation and the American Lung Association , and she's got a laugh that's exponentially² more contagious than the coronavirus.    As always, I had no agenda, but it was so great to catch up with one of the sweetest people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing.

    On this special Inauguration Day episode timed expertly for the swearing-in of Joe Biden & Kamala Harris, my guest, Tyler, is literally my oldest friend on the planet. Instead of giving you the typical summary I normally would... Here is his self-written bio (that I asked him for), which is arguably better than anything I could have come up with on my own: "Tyler is probably best known for having been friends with Kenny Bostick since the two were in diapers. On the professional front, Tyler is a lawyer and policy professional. This walking enigma claims to mistrust the government, but has spent his whole career in public service. Tyler is currently special counsel to a federal commission where he deals with elections policy and a commissioned officer in the U.S. Army. He began his career as an assistant attorney general with the Ohio Attorney General’s office, worked as legal counsel and policy advisor to two speakers of the Ohio House of Representatives, and served in the administration of the governor of Ohio as an attorney in the state budget office. All this job hopping has made Tyler a classic jack of all trades, master of none."

    Alyson Smith is a Registered Behavior Technician. She's educated in human behavior and applied behavior analysis (or ABA). We had an absolutely wonderful conversation, and I can't wait to have her back on. While parents will find lots of interest in this episode specifically, her expertise and wisdom ranges beyond just what she does for a living, and anyone who takes the time will surely find something to apply to their own lives. Thank you, Alyson, for reinforcing my guilty conscience that "it's ok if you don't know what the fuck you're doing."

To date, my favorite episode - and now that I've figured out my long-distance audio recording situation... More of these will be in the imminent future. Enjoy, because I had a blast! Also, an explanation for the ending: Danny and I were plotting to just shamelessly roast Cecil on a standalone podcast. For some reason, my mic cut out, so it's just Danny talking hella shit. Honestly, it's perfect.
