In this episode, we tackle the subjects of depression, overcoming fears, and chasing dreams despite life's challenges. Traditionally, pregnancy involves three parties: the couple and the doctor. Some might consider my views traditional, but I believe this is the proper approach. Yet, this pregnancy was extraordinary; she aimed to bestow the gift of life upon a couple who couldn't conceive naturally. In the South, women seeking pregnancy often confront hurdles, sometimes needing to consult senators and governors. Our guest today, Anna Rhodes, opted to become a surrogate, jokingly remarking that her uterus was 'just lying around.' Enjoy the episode as we share laughter, shed tears, and explore deep topics. Your ongoing support is greatly appreciated.

This week, I had the pleasure of chatting with Darryl Felsberg, a comedic force since his start in the Texas Panhandle back in 2000.

It turns out, there's a whole lot more to comedy than just penning punchlines, and we cover it all in this episode.
