nude grilling with Brennan Whalen (HEELS)

Brennan Whalen of Memphis, Tennessee is a salesman, above ground pool enthusiast, and lead singer/guitarist of HEELS.  I met him a few years back when I was one the road and he's become one of my closest friends and my favorite musicians. We talk about nude grilling, how Brennan drank himself out of both hips, his hot mom, and learning to cope with inconceivable loss.

Canadian goodbye w Josh McLane (HEELS)

Josh McLane is the drummer for HEELS, operator of the South Point Kitchen, a recovering drug addict, lackluster husband, and decent dad.

I met Josh in 2014-2015 when I was on the road with Star Anna. He was an incredibly accommodating host and his bandmate Brennan was a fan of mine so I assumed that he would be the worst and that his band would also be the worst. Dear reader, I was wrong. Josh is the best and HEELS is the best and now I have Josh and Brennan's dumb faces tattooed on my dumb body and they sing on my records and I sing on their records and we're in love and going to get married and have a baby. My brain is still ruined by covid but fortunately Josh remembered that HEELS has a new record coming out so we're debuting 'Dread,' the first single off their new record at the end of the podcast, too sweet.

Dean Delray

Dean Delray is a case study of turning passion into a labor of love, merging his affinity with music and comedy into a thriving career on stage and a growing podcast network. When he’s not talking to musicians on his podcast, Let There Be Talk, chances are he is headed to his next stand up comedy gig, having performed almost 5,000 times over the past 12 years. 

rash decisions w Rad Pinckard

Rad Pinckard is a skateboarder, former drunk, and a songwriter. I met him a couple of years ago when I needed cheap labor and we kept in touch. No, you probably haven't heard of him but I wanted to have him on the podcast because he's been writing some really incredible songs. They're sad and funny and playful and self-deprecating and terribly catchy. The recordings... well, yeah, we are both just starting to learn how to record ourselves. But I really think his cobwebbed-but-hopeful heart shines through on these tracks. The response I've gotten from people who have heard the stuff really makes me think that he can do something with these tunes. Let's try to help him on his way. He's https://www.instagram.com/rudeboyrad/ and you can hear his music at https://soundcloud.com/poolsidesacrifice. You should also follow https://www.instagram.com/basedventura/ which is the profile he runs to facilitate dog adoptions in Phoenix for the Arizona Animal Welfare League.

MOMCAST with my crazy old mom

Hands down, this is the best podcast I've ever done, maybe the best one I will ever do. Elaine Lalonde was born in Makwa, Saskatchewan in 1947, the second of seventeen children. I've known her for 45 years because she is my mom. No other person has had a greater influence on who I am or what I've done with my life (well, the good stuff, anyway). We talk about dogs with people names, growing up poor, the power of positivity, and making peace with maybe losing a child to addiction. Follow her on Instagram at @elaine.lalonde.7

swapcast with Jonas Barnes (The Traumedy Hour)

Swapcast with my friend Jonas Barnes about mental illness, sobriety, addiction, and getting your ass handed to you during the pandemic! Back to new, exclusive content next week!

 

Lauryn Petrie and Jonas Barnes Present: The Traumedy Hour 2 Comedians + A Guest + All The Things Society Tells Us Not To Talk About. Lauryn & Jonas talk to a guest every week about the trauma, pain, mental illness and vices that we all live with in our own way, every day. There are no holds barred as we peel back the band-aid and dig into the wounds of life. And with any luck, we can laugh at the pain and give someone a light at the end of the darkness.

hammock weight with Josh LaJaunie

Josh LaJaunie was born and raised in south Louisiana. He grew up hunting, fishing, drinking, eating, playing football, and getting fat. In early 2011, he found himself tipping the scales at over 400 lbs. He's since lost 200 lbs, become a badass ultrarunner, and is now exclusively a plant-based, plant-powered athlete.

I met Josh through our friend Rich Roll and we hit it off immediately. I don't see or talk to Josh too often but when we connect, it's always epic. We had some audio difficulties with this episode but I encourage you to power through-- Josh is one of my favorite guests to date.

 

writing the next chapter with Max Collins, the guy from Eve6

You probably know Max Collins as 'the guy from Eve6,' one of the sharpest, funniest, most thoughtful people on Twitter today. You probably know Eve6 as the band behind 'Inside Out,' which you probably know as "the heart in a blender song." You probably don't know that they wrote that album when they were 16/17 years old and that Max has had a wild ride since that song hit #1 on Billboard's Modern Rock chart in 1998. We talk sobriety, mental illness, writing, and second acts.  

 

Max Collins is an American musician, singer, and songwriter who is best known as the lead vocalist, primary songwriter, and bassist of the alternative rock band Eve 6, which he co-founded with Jon Siebels. He launched a solo career in 2013 called Marms + The Car Deaths. He has other musical projects, including a band called Fitness, and more recently has created a singing Germanic alter-ego called Chevy Mustang.
