The lesson of the story is, don't wait to send that message or reach out to your friends & catch up. Ryan McNeill & I grew up in Southern Oklahoma together, going to elementary school together in Healdton, Oklahoma. Our families lives were intertwined through their professions, so needless to say, Ryan & I know each other fairly well. In our teenage years, Ryan, as well as his older brothers were musical influencers.... tastemakers.... Always had the coolest band tshirts & were listening to something no one else had even heard of before. in 2002, I went to NYC to cover the CMJ Music Festival / Conference. During that trip i reconnected with Ryan & went to a show in Brooklyn as he showing me the city. Fast forward to 2026 & Ryan has worked in advertising in Manhattan, worked on Deadliest Catch in Alaska, as well as formed a band called "Debate Team" w/ members of OkGo & One Republic. I sent Ryan a message & asked him to be a guest on the podcast b/c at the end of July, Ryan & his family are relocating to Madrid. In this episode we will talk about his career, musical influences, growing up in Oklahoma, & ultimately navigating a major life change in moving to a different country.

This weekend, Bowling For Soup celebrates their 32nd Birthday with Bowling For Soup Night w/ The Frisco Roughriders on Thursday, their Official Birthday show in Texas on Friday & then headlining The Big Ride in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Saturday. Jaret was one of the 1st major label artists that i interviewed back in my college radio days. We did a phone interview to promote a tour stop in Tulsa at a venue called "Curly's" just after they had released "Lets Do it For Johnny"... After that i saw them 3 or 4 times a year between Tulsa, Stillwater, OKC, Dallas, Denton, & once in New York City. Jaret was gracious enough to let my old band open for them a couple of times at the Cains Ballroom when Drunk Enough To Dance was out & the entire band & crew have always been so nice to me over the years. I haven't interviewed anyone in the band in numerous years, i've only attended shows as a fan and have slowly been building my BFS vinyl collection. It was nice to catch up after all these years & its really cool to see BFS continue to get bigger & bigger.
