Lifelong Friendships, Eagle's Nest, 90s Comedy, Jesus Christ

Tupac once said twelve shots couldn’t stop him, he took it and smiled. The problem for Pac was he didn’t know what was coming next.

I know the feeling. Things can go from bad to worse real fast.

The past year’s been a nightmare for your newly-humbled host with an old podcast.

I feel like I went up a muddy mountain trail with unsuspecting Cu Chi Tunnel spikes and the occasional alligator moat. Not to mention there was a dragon to slay at the top that I might be battling the rest of my life.

So I thought it was time to revive the podcast. I come to you from Berchtesgaden, Germany (pictured), home of Eagle’s Nest. Recorded this quick episode to ease back into podcasting and let you know what the Overseas crew’s been up to.

I also give thanks to friends and family who’ve supported me through the worst of it—full story to come soon.

Listen to recent travel stories, thoughts on Christ, and books that go hard like a healthy male with a Zyn habit.
