   It's Getting a Little Rocky

   In Episode 10, we get to part 2 of the podcast featuring Sophia. If you watched to the end of last episode, you’ll see just how long we can talk, leading us to this two parter. In this sequel episode, we talk about our very first fight as we started to grow closer as friends, and we give a little inside scoop to the drama of our lives. What they say is true, if you can withstand a little tiff, you only grow stronger.

   Sophia, Up to Bat!

   In episode 9 of First Base, you guys finally get to see the mystery woman behind the camera. Sophia, my personal assistant and very close friend, hops on this episode with me to give you guys some perspective on who I interact with on a day to day basis. We share the story of how we met, first impressions, the gym we go to almost religiously, and best of all, you get to see us thrive in our natural habitat of just talking on and on without getting bored about whatever topic arises.

   Take Me Out...

   On episode 8 of First Base, I take you with me to a Diamondbacks game! Baseball is my favorite sport and, baseball stadiums are one of my favorite places to be. With the beer, hot dogs, loud music, and overall atmosphere, it’s a sure fire way to have a good time with me for a few hours. This episode is shot in a more vlog style, where my assistant Sophie and I walk you through from start to finish and we sit through the innings in section 300, where you get a chance to hear all my ins and outs, and of course, a couple fun stories for your entertainment.

   Come to the Dark Side

   We’re getting comfy on the couch again for episode 7 of First Base to cover some rather uncomfortable content. Rest assured I will always keep you up to date on the gossip. I recap what’s been going on in my life lately with the help of a couple ridiculous stories that have happened to me in the last week. This week in particular I looked at some saucy and spicy content that often make their way into my comments and DMS (unsolicited of course), and really give you my two sense on them. While telling you about stories from my past that get pretty deep, I warn you that this is the darker side to the industry I’m in.

   Take a Bite Out of Sandwich, Illinois

   In this episode of First Base, episode 6, we visit my hometown! People always ask me where I’m from and I’m finally giving the grand tour, and yes, Sandwich is a real place. Home to the one of the biggest fairs in the state! I explore my favorite spots from childhood and tell stories to give you a little insight to what it was like growing up here. Obviously I don’t miss out on my topics for this one, you’ll get to hear them over a burger and fries. Chicago isn’t the only spot worth visiting in Illinois, and they grew me out here! What more could you want!
