Hot Moms, Dead Rock Stars & The Gluten-Free Life (Feat. Ryker McDonald)

from The Josh and Friends Podcast · host Josh

Episode 156: This week, I'm joined by Ryker McDonald—someone I first met nearly 20 years ago... as a newborn. Fast forward to today, and we're finally sitting down face-to-face—talking about college life at Oregon State University, growing up in a small town, and exploring all kinds of music along the way. We also get into near-death experiences, navigating diet challenges with celiac disease, and a rapid-fire speed round of random questions. Oh—and yes... hot moms come up. Don't ask. Just listen. 😂0:00 - Cold Open / Intro (Lee Michaels)1:26 - 20-Year Reunion / Mom & Dad3:22 - Hermiston, OR / High School Sports8:29 - Oregon State / Mechanical Engineering Major11:59 - Ethan's Popularity / HS Coaches15:26 - Introducing Parents / Hot Moms20:01 - Settling in Oregon / Oldies Music26:31 - Exploring Musical Genres / Future Jobs32:37 - Celiac Disease & Diet Restrictions39:08 - Speed Round Questions / First Album40:43 - Best & Least Favorite Vacations43:37 - Action Movies / Fast Food46:25 - Last Film in Theater / Best Concerts51:49 - Basketball GOATs / Pet Peeves56:13 - Snacks, Cartoons & Cats vs. Dogs59:27 - Favorite Bands / Greatest Superheroes1:05:57 - Near Death Experience1:09:17 - Pineapple Pizza / Video Games / Cereal1:13:57 - Dead Rock Star Revival1:22:22 - Drinking in Bars / Good Will Hunting1:25:24 - Outro / Close🎵 MUSIC USED► Theme Song: Corbyn Kites - "Overdrive"--------------------------------☑️ SUBSCRIBE HERE ⇢ https://www.youtube.com/c/TheJoshandFriendsPodcast--------------------------------► APPLE iTUNES: https://rb.gy/b3bfht► SPOTIFY: https://rb.gy/jwhynd► STITCHER: https://rb.gy/su0smc► iHEART RADIO: https://rb.gy/uwfhih► TUNEIN: https://rb.gy/2p9o9f► PODCHASER: https://rb.gy/1r6im8► DEEZER: https://rb.gy/tbfjyw► LISTEN NOTES: https://rb.gy/o1fjj6--------------------------------★ FACEBOOK ⇢ https://www.facebook.com/TheJoshandFriendsPodcast/★ INSTAGRAM ⇢ https://www.instagram.com/TheJoshandFriendsPodcast★ TIKTOK ⇢ https://vm.tiktok.com/ZTdpLP5mT/ ☑️ SUBSCRIBE HERE ⇢ https://www.youtube.com/c/TheJoshandFriendsPodcast
