The Life of an Average Joe ft Brandon Novara

Friends who will show up, no matter what. From another state or just around the corner. These are the true ride-or-die ones.

Nick Luck joins me in the middle of a serious Texas storm to discuss the upcoming Marvel movie "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" From the popcorn bucket to our predictions. Despite the thunder in the background, we made it through part one of the show.

How many tattoos do you have? When did you get your first one? Is there a story behind it or, was it a random night of bad choices? No matter what the reason is, it is worth talking about,

Kanye is done, Diddy is done and yet, you have people out there that still support these so called artitsts. What point do you draw a line in the sand for your own self and morals?

With Memorial Day just around the corner, I started looking back at someone who frankly popped up in my head this time of year. The memories, the connections and the feeling I get looking at those moments. It might be a long time ago but, it feels so fresh.

We might be late but are here for our annual Star Wars conversation. Thrawn, Tales of the Underworld, Fortnite, and more. I am joined by my ver special guest for a great nerd out show.

People need to start calling people out—at work, at home, and on social media. If we continue to allow nonsense because we are worried about the outcome, we will still live in nonsense.

Andor Season 2, Star Wars Visions, and a new film. There is much to discuss in the annual Star Wars episode Part 1.

If you didn't listen to last week's show, listen to it now. Well, I went back out on a date with the blind date girl..again. It's 3am and we need to talk about it.

What started off as a a flashback to a Easter trip Up North, tunred into my blind date experince. I don't date much and clealry not a blind date but, it happaned. Now the question is, " Did I blow it already?"

Creativity comes in all aspects of life, yet many people try to shut it down. Parents blow out the candle too many times when their kids try to be their own creative advocates. We should be growing that concept, not shutting the door on it.

Bad guys and villains are two different things. We all can be "bad guys" at some point in our lives, but a true villain is on a different level.This week, I revisited some of my favorite villains and discussed the characteristics that make them great.

S17 Episode 239 “ Dad I have a question?”The other night, I got into a pretty deep conversation with my son, and it took me back to moments in my childhood when I was learning hard lessons but not with any dialogue from my parents.Do we learn more from our friends than our parents? From the streets? From others? Are we doing enough as parents and adults to shape and help the next generation?

It is sad to watch the modern era of bartenders. The random people they shove behind the bar and assume will make you the most money is sad. They are arrogant and talentless, yet we are supposed to keep these businesses open.

This was supposed to be a conversation with Nick Luck about the next wave of MCU films. However, I have no idea what went down; it is just me. Still a great show but no Nick,

James Gunn has big plans with the WB and the future of the DCEU. Some of those plans are coming this summer as Superman Legacy hits the big screen. Will Gunn be able to create a universe that fans enjoy and show up to? That's the topic on this week's show.

Rent and housing are too high but so are eggs, school, and everything in life. This week I spoke to a buddy looking at a tight budget to survive.

I am not saying that the 90's were the best but, they probably were. From the music to fashio, it was a time when you didn't need to document every memory you created, you just live them.

We need to start having some conversations in our own yard before we tell people to clean up theirs. I know that some of you will roll your eyes and not like this, but that's fine you can move on to another show.

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, I had to do a show about love, dating, and cheating. Why ? Because it sure seems to be normal these days.

Happy Lunar New Year! I would say that this episode is a moment to celebrate, but it really isn't. This is about a phone call I received years ago and I wish I could forget.

I just figured I would add so many little ideas and topics to one episode. The NFL, TikTok, and James Gunn to name a few.

The recent snow in Texas reminded me of all the snow back in Michigan. One particular storm had us snowed in for about four days. My good friend "P" was with us and let's say we had a true snow day.

This week I am brought to a conversation I had with a good buddy. A conversation about watching what's around you, who is around and what you say in front of people. The trust but, verify situation that has gotten the best of all of us

Over the years I have talked about encounters with musicians, celebrities and random well-known people. This week I kick off the New Year with a little story about how I thought (keyword thought) I had a chance with Michelle Branch.Clearly you know how the story ends, she is married and I am here but…it was a funny night.

Merry Christmas!!! The year's final episode landed on the holiday, from Christmas trees to Jet's pizza. This episode looks back and looks ahead.

What's entertaining the sky? What aren't we being told? Who knows what is going on?On Wednesday, I moved a Christmas episode just so I could dive into this wild “drone” situation, examine all the possibilities, and consider what I frankly think it really means.The new episode drops every Wednesday on all platforms. Make sure you are filling, subscribing, liking, and sharing.

he show started off one way and frankly ended another. Not my best but, enjoy the rantings of a sick man. Not like mental but, health-wise.

Getting old is part of life—how many times have you heard that? Most people think about not being able to do certain things when they get older. Can't stay up late? You can't party like you once could. The real key to getting old is understanding what's around you.

What are you feeding your soul? Your mind and your body? Who lifts you when you can't do it yourself? This week on the show I am talking about really feeding yourself to keep moving.

Who remembers their first car? or maybe your first kiss? This week's show is about firsts and their impact on us in life.

I planned a fun or more entertaining episode but made some changes. It looks like after a phone from someone who should now me, I needed to make some points about assumptions and truth.

It has been a long time since I answered emails, DMs, and comments This week, I have a lot of stuff from you guys and I did my best address those topics.

Time for the final spooky season episode of the year. I have a crazy party, kids in school, costumes, and more to discuss this week.

We talked about vampires so, now it is time to talk about witches. Yes over the years I have seen some things and this is a moment I will never forget. Now you might not believe this story and trust me I get it. I can only say that this is my view.

The city is not for everyone; sometimes you must move to figure that out. However, what happens when the city won't let you leave and you become part of it or worse?

A spooky season would not be complete without a must-watch list of scary, creepy, and downright weird movies to keep you up at night.

Spooky season is here and this week's show takes us back to an encounter that put my life on the line and to this day, I still don't know what or who it was.

When you meet people you have to deal with things that you might not like or are not used to. So, what is the line? When do you say enough is enough? This week on the final show for season 16, I am looking back on some of my encounters and dates over the years.

After the Childish Gambino concert got postponed a few weeks ago, I had to look back at my string of bad luck regarding live shows. These are those stories.

With summer about to end, I wanted to look back at some of those stand-out moments—movies of the summer, songs of the summer, and even food.

Music can pull so many emotions from you when you play songs. This week I am looking at some of those songs that hit for me

The mystery continues only this time I brought in some experts to dive into the details. The story is wild, the other stories are even crazier. Technical difficulties and lots of drinks brought this show to life.

Have you ever met someone in life that you just get a bad feeling about? Like something is off? That is one of the most important feelngs you could ever get. Yet, most people ignore it. This week, I am not ignoring.

Sometimes we do the same thing over again with certain people and it makes zero sense. We continue to invite people out and they never show. Or we are just the weekend story until something new and better comes along

Most people have a Vegas story or two. Usually, you want to take those secrets and stories to the grave. I am not most people and I feel like this is a story that should be told...maybe.

With "Deadpool and Wolverine" running a train at the box office, I am diving into the film so be warned. I am also looking at the new Fantastic 4 movie and the biggest mic drop of the MCU.

Not sure what kind of weird movie we are in but, we need new writers.

Anyone else tired of how many games people play? At work? In their relationships and social media?

Sometimes you can use your pettiness to get what you want and make it a big “W.” I mean that's I what I did and I have a trophy to prove it.

The 4th of July sparks a lot of memories for me. This particular party came to mind and wow, I didn't realize what a moment this was. Cops, fireworks and so much more
