The Bestivus PodcastEpisode 15 - The Saint Patrick's Day Stream, ya wee lads n lassesTop o' the mornin' to ye, and all those other shenanigans. Another random episode coming at ya, this time it's Saint Patrick's Day, and I go into detail about what's happened on Paddy's Days Past in my own life. From parties, to relationship drama, it's interesting how different this day has gone over the years.

The Bestivus PodcastEpisode 14 - Irrational (and I guess rational now too) FearsWoof, this was an episode, for sure. I went into the day expecting a light episode talking some funny, irrational fears. But life did its thing and threw another curveball, and the family and I got some sad news about my pops.
So we ended up talking about that and real fears, in addition to the irrational ones. We go off the rails a few times this episode, but it's all from the heart...

The Bestivus PodcastEpisode 13 - Since when are Tuesday streams a thing?Unannounced, unscripted, on a Tuesday, and at 5 PM-ish? Have I lost my mind?
Just a random stream this time - talking about this false spring weather we've got going on, upcoming mods for the Allroad and the RS4, and whatever else has been going on these last few days.
Disclaimer, some mild political talk towards the end. Nothing too outlandish though, I don't think?

The Bestivus PodcastEpisode 12 - Grinding gears (not like that) & tips for first car modsA random episode indeed, we chat about some stuff that grinds my gears a la Family Guy style. From pineapple on pizza to the care of our furried family members.
And we round out the episode talking car mods, where to start, what to focus on, and how to go about modifying your car for the first time.

The Bestivus PodcastEpisode 11 - The Road Rage EpisodeWe all knew this one was bound to happen, especially if you've ever ridden with me.
Driver's Etiquette, a topic I used to blog about on the reg. Road rage. Common courtesy while behind the wheel. Peeps gotta learn to drive, I think we can all agree on that one. And in this episode, we talk in depth about the numerous rage-inducing things we see on the road. This is probably my favorite stream thus far, so check it out!

The Bestivus PodcastEpisode 10 - EDM and why you should listen to itIn remembrance of Daft Punk, we're going to talk about EDM, what it is, why I love it, and why you should too!
Standing for Electronic Dance Music, this genre, and its sub-genres, have been a major part of my listening habits for the better part of 2 decades. From classics like The Crystal Method, to the latest artists from Anjunabeats, I break down my history with it and recommend some solid starters for people just getting into it. Here's a list of what I talked about:
The Crystal Method
Pendulum
Deadmau5
Above & Beyond
Anjunabeats Volume 14

The Bestivus PodcastEpisode 9 - Forza Horizon and what it means to be a petrolheadProbably my favorite episode to date, tonight I talk about the video game Forza Horizon - but we're not focusing on the game aspect. We're focused on how it relates and perfectly embodies the spirit of being a car guy or a car girl. A gearhead, a petrolhead. Whatever you want to call it, we're a special breed and this is a love letter to all of you.
Keep driving. Keep modifying. Keep carving those canyons. I love all of it.

The Bestivus PodcastEpisode 8 - "Harry Potter" he says, what even is this podcast?We're hitting our stride at this whole podcasting business, so we're talking Anchor and what that's all about. Followed up by a massive sci-fi tangent into the ether, which was then brought back to sanity by talking Harry Potter.
We round out tonight's episode with some discussion as to my current state of mind (much better; thank you to everyone who's asked and checked in 💙), as well as a decent discussion of cars and what the future holds for the Allroad sitting outside my apartment.
Notably absent this episode? Talk of Valentine's Day which was yesterday, maybe we'll touch on that...

The Bestivus PodcastEpisode 7 - Mental health and other taboo shitA heavier episode, I talk about mental health, depression, and the state of my head these last 2 weeks or so.
TL;DR: It's okay if you're depressed. It's okay if you need to reach out for help. It's okay to not be okay. You aren't alone.

The Bestivus PodcastEpisode 6 - You don't have to be a chick to enjoy a chick flickSinking ships, made up stories told by your grandpa, a crazy girl genius, and some mouth music. We discuss four "chick flicks" suggested in the comments on Facebook. We follow up the podcast with more dating talk, the pitfalls of putting yourself out there, and whether or not cold opening on people you're friends with on FB is acceptable or not.
Disclaimer: It probably isn't.

The Bestivus PodcastEpisode 5 - Breakfast of ChampionsAn early morning stream for all you robins - out there catching early worms. We talk food, as fatties often do. In this case, fast food breakfast options. Taco Bell reigns supreme, but Wendy's is hot on their hard shelled ass.
And to contrast the legitimacy of breakfast options, we also take a random trip down nostalgia lane and talk previous cars, freedoms as teenagers, high school, the merits of college.
2021-02-131h 04
The Bestivus PodcastEpisode 4 - GameStop, red flags, whatever YOU want to talk aboutYeah your boy hopped on the $GME bandwagon. FOMO is a real thing. We also talk relationships and online dating, and the differing points of view of women and men on these sorts of things. Red flags, do's and don'ts, and things of that nature.
2021-02-131h 11
The Bestivus PodcastEpisode 3 - Wasting time till The Expanse startsThe latest episode of The Expanse aires at 7 EST and it's 6 EST, what's a guy to do? Waste some time rambling about sci-fi, excellent (or awful) food choices, sci-fi, Star Wars, and more sci-fi. The last 2 Star Wars films don't exist, change my mind.
2021-02-1347 min
The Bestivus PodcastEpisode 2 - Car culture and whatever elseMight be the second episode, but it's the first one to Facebook Live. Ah, how much we've grown. On this episode we update everyone on my dad's cancer treatments, car culture and what it means to us gearheads, and a brief discussion on Valentine's Day. Could this be a sign of topics to come?
2021-02-131h 08
The Bestivus PodcastEpisode 1 - Bestivus talks life and online dating?The very first episode - fasten your seatbelts and keep your hands and feet in the podcast at all times. In this episode we talk cancer and how much it sucks, online dating, and other topics that my brain wandered off into.
