That's right, I'm back! Finally! In the first episode of many months, I'm letting you know where I've been and what I've been up to. I've even got a guest with a pretty messed up story to tell. He miraculously survived it and in his only interview about the incident (he even refused the local news stations an interview, so I'm all exclusive and stuff!) he's going to tell us all about it! It's great to be back and I look forward to getting in touch with all of you again. Enjoy!

In the first episode of 2019, I got together with St Louis Police Officer, Don Re. We talked about what the environment in St Louis is like for a police officer after having gained so much media attention over the last couple of years, as well as how he deals with being a cop by writing in his personal blog which you can find at https://donofalltrades.com. Don is a really interesting guy to talk to and I think ya'll will enjoy our conversation, despite my interviewing ADD which leads Don off track on more than one occasion, so come on in and enjoy the show and let's show Don the love so he'll come back and join me again! Again, check out Don's blog at https://donofalltrades.com and give him a follow on Twitter @The_DOAT I'm looking forward to a lot of great, new things for Brick Wit House in 2019 and I have some great ideas moving forward. After my move back to North Carolina on the 31st of this month, I'll start putting those ideas in motion.

Not only do I have Aris on this week, but I pulled his brother Jason out of the background and got Aris to shut the hell up and let the man talk. Jason is absolutely fascinating and has been EVERYWHERE . . . like, literally. It's an hour and a half that gets funny, then serious, then funny again, then serious . . . you get the idea. Just love the show, for cryin' out loud!

It's another Bonus episode, and why is it a bonus? Because it's awesome, that's why! It's awesome because it's got wood. Tara Wood, you pervs! That's right, the funniest human to ever grace Facebook. Zuckerberg should be thanking her. You should know all the big stories around Tara. They've been on national television for crying out loud, so I sat down with her and we talked about Tara and what makes her tick. So if you're not following her on Facebook with the other almost 227,000 people, maybe you should get on that. https://www.facebook.com/WhatTaraWoodDo/

It's true, Leo got a coloring book and he is so proud of it that he kept showing it to me . . . and then he showed it to the surprise guest we had that came in at the middle of the show! That's right, ya'll! We have a guest this week . . . maybe even 2, so crank up those speakers and check us out!

Halfway through the 35 Dollar Challenge and Eric is hungry! We take our minds off of it a little bit and attack the thing that's been on the news all week. This episode is a weird mix of both serious and funny, so hop on in and enjoy the show!

It's time for Eric to get his finances back on the track they need to be on despite his bosses weird and inconsistent pay "schedule", so he's biting the bullet this week and coughing up almost his whole paycheck in order to get caught up all at once. There will be much Ramen and water in his life in the next couple weeks. Despite all of this, it was Leo who had a stick up his butt in this episode. Apparently he missed his nap, so come check us out as he finds a way to argue with . . . everything. Enjoy! http://www.brickwithouse.com/uncategorized/ep-41-erics-35-dollar-challenge/

It's been a whole year since we started this show and that year began and ended with a hurricane, only this time, it was Leo's problem. Check in with us to find out how it went since we recorded this show while Leo was in the middle of the storm. See how Leo is managing, find out why Eric is panicking to get started at another job, and as a special surprise, take a little trip with Eric to the beach for a little mental cleansing. Thanks for an amazing year, ya'll!!

Leo got his laptop back, but we haven't been real good at getting episodes out. We explain why that is going on and what is being done to try to make it better.

Leo took off and went to New York, and he told me about it after he had already left, in case you were wondering how organized we are. Anyway, karma got him back for his transgression and he ended up leaving his laptop in New York, so he had to do this episode with the Skype app on his phone! So his audio quality is awful. Skype as only Fisher Price can bring it!

It was a weird week, and this episode proves it. Recorded before my first open-mic, but released after . . . It DID NOT GO WELL. It is what it is. Stand up (pun intended), dust off and try again. Prepare better next time. Oh . . . Leo has a house!! Congrats, Dude!!

Quite possibly the greatest thing to happen to Brick Wit House, I got to talk to Dan Cummins . . . I mean, I chilled with him for a couple nights ahead of time and then he let me interview him for the show. I apologize that I went all Fanboy as hell, but man, I was so stoked!! Enjoy the interview and for all that is holy, stick around for the interview with Jared Waters afterward. The entire night was AMAZING!! Except for my open mic set. That was bad. SOOOOO bad. We'll talk about that later.

In our first podcast recorded "out on the road", I spat in the face of TSA and packed all my recording equipment into my carry-on luggage and defiantly dragged it through airport security. Much to my dismay, nobody cared. So I ended up at my brother's house in North Carolina, unscathed and ready to record a show, which we did. My brother, my son and I gathered together up in his office while my sister-in-law stayed downstairs trying to recover from the excitement of having us all there. At least that is what we tell ourselves. No Leo for this show, just family doing what our family does . . . laugh at really dumb stuff, and compare notes on our daily lives. And NEW THEME MUSIC!!

This one is a little lazy, and maybe not as edited as I would like. It's been a horrible week and I just wanted to get this episode up, so please pardon me if this goes awry. You'll have some fun for sure!

So many boobs! Big boobs, small boobs, bouncing boobs, naked boobs all over the place! ALL of the boobs! You definitely do not want to miss this episode. It's unlike anything we have ever done before and it is completely unprecedented in all of podcasting history! Also, none of that is true. 100% click bait. Did it work?

Have you ever had to re-evaluate your life? Is it because you listen to this show? We hope not, but there are other reasons and Leo and I are talking about them here. You'll also get to hear what is involved in living in a rich apartment building in downtown Saint Petersburg, Florida, and it isn't always as pretty as you would think.

It's not as exciting as it sounds. Or maybe it is. Either way, it was a thing that happened and we're talking about it. Find out how Eric tipped his waitress a day later and why you should be very picky about where you get your burgers, because whether you want to believe it or not, there are superior burgers and their prices will tell you if they are the ONE.

Leo and I talk about how to not be offensive in the most offensive way possible. It's what we do and it's the world we live in. Hang out with us, we had a pretty good night and we got kinda deep into our offensive world. Or is it?

We're back and Leo is struggling through some big changes, some have already happened and others are still to come. Join me as I watch him drink his stresses away and try to work some things out in his head. Find out what my son did for his Father's Day contribution this weekend. It was a whole lot more than I did!

We're getting into how the comedy set is progressing, and I know that the title of the episode suggests that there might be a Jew joke. There isn't, but my dad has inadvertently written my closer and it's DARK. Also listen to me repeatedly refer to Tropical Storm Alberto as Alejandro and NEVER correct it! Our ability to be wrong is the majority of our charm.
