This week Kyle is having a conversation with Mike Travis, a voiceover actor from Ohio that he has been friends with for just over three years. In the time Kyle and Mike have known one another, they have built a deep friendship that is definitely an odd pairing. But when two friends are of the same heart, the differences are the spice of the friendship.

Mike has lived three lifetimes in his 50 years of being alive and that is what Kyle is thinking about while going into this conversation: Reinvention. Mike is a shining example that at any point and at any age, we all can choose to pivot and choose happiness for ourselves.

It's 2025! And in the very first episode of the year, Kyle is joined by Tony Aldapa, someone who he has known for about two and half years. Tony is a director, actor, writer, and producer, but how he got to this career is a long and storied journey. He has done every single job anyone could think of along the way, including accidentally joining the United States Navy.

A little later, Kyle and Tony are joined by Tony's girlfriend, Ana Cristina, who is also an actor and singer.

Danielle Soto is a prolific writer, comedian, and podcast host that hails from Boston and now lives in Los Angeles. And she happens to be one of the world's foremost Golden Girls experts. She has a fantastic podcast called "Dr. Cheesecake" in which she welcomes her guests to the show and they tell her a problem they might be having in their life and she will prescribe an episode of The Golden Girls that will make it all better.

Kyle met Danielle in 2022 and they instantly forged a bond over their encyclopedic knowledge of all things classic television: From Lucille Ball to Norman Lear and beyond!

For the entire month of February, Kyle has been spotlighting historical figures for Black History Month, but today, he is spotlighting two modern trailblazers in the world of entertainment.

Some people come into our lives and it feels like they have somehow always been there. That is Andrew Hodge for Kyle. Andrew is one of those people that seems to exude artistic charisma that is not only infectious, but also incredibly accessible. Andrew is a celebrated actor and dancer, and he is on the eve of launching several thrilling writing projects that will send his incredible influence in the arts into new directions where new audiences are sure to fall in love with his work.

Kyle and Andrew have been mistaken for one another many times, and at this point it is more of an endearing quality for both of them, rather than one they try incessantly to clear up. His jovial spirit and his unique way of seeing everyday things and hearing mundane fodder will leave you wishing you could be friends with him as well.

Ethan is back! Kyle Has invited Ethan to the podcast again! For the first time since discussing their breakup, Kyle has invited is best friend Ethan to come a sit down for a friendship check-in. They talk all things friendship in the last year, what Ethan really feels about Kyle's relationship with "Robert," and the moment they both knew that their partnership was truly over. As candid as they have ever been, these two best friends don't miss a beat in their first on-air conversation of 2024.

Isaac Robinson-Smith has been a big surprise in Kyle's life in 2023. They've known of one another since 2022, but it was in the middle of 2023, after having both been on the invite list of many parties, and having five-minute conversations over cocktails, they decided to make the friendship official. And the friendship was instant thoughtfully tender. Now, Kyle is introducing this bright and vivacious new friend to the podcast audience.

In this episode Kyle and Isaac talk about how they met, what they are planning for 2024, and they even discuss Isaac's fascinating career as a voice-over actor. They even go deep into what a successful career in Hollywood means on the grander scale.
