Dear Tim Tebow...

Dear Tim,

Welcome to New York! Well, New Jersey. You haven't even been to New York yet, have you? Even Jockey's new billboard welcoming you to New York is on the Jersey side of the Lincoln Tunnel!

How uncool is that?!

Right now, you're probably not even in New York. Knowing you, you're probably back out in California improving your throwing motion for this coming season. That's why we love you, Tim... that's why I love you... you believe in yourself! And, you're always willing to put in the extra work to make sure you're the best Tim Tebow you can be. That's awesome.

Sure, some may (accurately) say that my Tebowing created a change in the space-time continuum that led to you coming to the Jets. I couldn't argue with them if I wanted to. It's way more than science, Tim... it's fate.

Since you'll be new in town, and some of your teammates have decided to be Danny Downers, I think it's up to me to extend my services to show you the wonder that is New York City.

I mean, yes, sure, of course, we would have to do some of the touristy things... walk around Central Park, get your new sandwich at the Carnegie Deli, recreate the final scene from Sleepless in Seattle...

But, we can't forget some of the hidden gems of New York City... The Cloisters uptown, seeing an intimate set at The Living Room or Rockwood Music Hall, or re-creating that scene from Titanic on the ferry to Governor's Island...

You know, the kind of things that only real New Yorkers know about.

So, Tim, when you come back to town, let me show you around. We could totally be bros... you know, without the binge drinking. Straight edge bros! We would totally be awesome wingmen for each other talking up the ladies at Barnes and Noble. You could be all like, "I don't drink because of my religious beliefs." And, I would be all like, "Well, I don't drink either for much different reasons!" And, then, we'll do our awesome secret handshake. Those ladies don't even stand a chance!

Alright, here's the plan. E-mail me when you get back into town and we'll set a date to do karaoke... or bowling... no, we'll do karaoke! I bet you're an awesome bowler, Tim, and I don't want to embarrass myself on our first date the first time we hang out.

Can't wait to hear from you! Besties!

Dennis

Episode 20 - Inspirations and Influences with Kate Hensler

A very special, honest and heart-felt 20th episode (with plenty of ridiculousness in between) with my good friend Kate Hensler. We talk all about our various inspirations and influences ranging from music and wrestling to our closest friends and family. Our conversation weaves in and out of various topics, but you get the truest sense of who we are. I talk about my father and uncles near the end of my podcast and that's about as honest as you'll ever see me.

Finally, listen to me and Kate's related podcast from a few weeks ago about the decision not to drink and how the conversation was inspired by the then upcoming St. Patrick's Day. Listen here (Episode 13 [35:53] - Kate Talks Not Drinking).
