Season 5 Ep. 13 - 100th EPISODE - SEASON FIVE FINALE PART ONE - SCAR TISSUE

"Scar tissue that I wish you saw...Sarcastic Mister know it
all...Wave Goodbye to Ma and Pa cause with the Birds I'll
share...." - Red Hot Chili Peppers This isn't a lonely view. Like
the Ted Lasso character Dani Rojas says, "Music is Life!" Music has
so many important meanings to me (little t). Music has been a part
of my life since before I was born, through my family, our family
friends, to my own journey with playing multiple instruments and
gymnastics. Music, songs, lyrics and the like help us all through
some of the most trying of times. Certain phrases of a song,
lyrics, complete songs, and even something as simple as the Hammond
B3 Organ can change a persons life. (anyone who understands what a
B3 is knows it's not 'simple') I can tell you when and why and
where parts of my life occurred just by hearing one jingle, one
chord, one sound. I have waited almost three years to be able to
record this particular episode and while I had so many things I
wanted to say and bits and pieces I wanted to make sure were in the
episode, I realized if I waited any longer there would be too much
pressure placed on myself by myself to make it perfect. We aren't
perfect. Humans are a mess. Families aren't perfect. Families are a
shit show to put it mildly. There are a few goals with recording
and releasing this episode. One. To get rid of this monkey on my
back. This information was carried privately for far too long and
then only amongst a few friends and family members but now, now is
the time to put this out into the world. Two. If just one phrase or
sentence of what Trice and I say in this episode helps just one
person get through just one moment of just one minute, just one
hour, just one day, then I have accomplished a primary goal. There
is still a lot of processing to do. This podcast is a small part of
my journey but my hope is by me being open about all or many of the
things Trice and I have navigated the previous couple of years
someone, somewhere, will feel supported. I certainly have not felt
supported by many in recent years, even recent days but I am
constantly trying to learn and grow. I am trying to quit holding on
so tight to things that need to be left behind. By 'things' that
means actual tangible things but also people, careers,
relationships. We sincerely appreciate all of our listeners and
supporters. The biggest thanks to one half of our show, Big T
because without him I'm not sure where I would be. Most definitely
a special thank you to our friends at Stanley Station Wine and
Spirits in Shawnee, and Overland Park, KS! One thing I am to a
fault is loyal. Often if feels more harm than good comes of being
loyal but in the instance of where we buy our Happy Hour
accoutrements, Stanley Station has been there with us from the very
beginning. Trice and I appreciate all the support with our new
endeavors and continued support as this show evolves just as we are
trying to do. @stanley_station_wine_spirits @trice_a @tntfridays
