Music Monday Ep. 161: We spend another week with honestav. This time I got to listen to him solo off of his newest album, 'Sweet American Boy'. The song I chose to listen to is called, 'Know Better'. I also got to watch the music video. I didn't care for this one as much as I did, 'Crash First' feat. mgk. It's not to say that this track is bad, it's just that my preference would be behind the energy and beat switch of what crashing first suggests. Once again, like almost any honestav song I've heard, the man enters the room with brutal honesty. He repeatedly says in this track that he is insecure and overwhelmed. Enjoy the reaction and let's start a discussion in the comment section. Support the show---CHECKLIST ITEMS---Follow my pages on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pootsiemama/andhttps://www.instagram.com/nurturethemindpod/Support:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1020460/supportandhttps://buymeacoffee.com/colepoots

Music Monday Ep. 160: We are finally back on the channel with another music reaction! I took some time off from solely doing music reactions on the channel, but decided it was time to film another one. What a great first choice to have on the way back with a collab of honestav and mgk. 'Crash First' is a great song and these two individuals once again through the honesty of their music opened up about what to this day causes them to struggle with mental health. I really enjoyed being back and I hope anyone who watches this video is able to grab something of value from it!mgk interview I was talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypWZ77zaW0QSupport the show---CHECKLIST ITEMS---Follow my pages on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pootsiemama/andhttps://www.instagram.com/nurturethemindpod/Support:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1020460/supportandhttps://buymeacoffee.com/colepoots

It felt extremely refreshing to bring on a brother for the last 13 years to record a podcast. We hadn't done one in the last 6 years, so this one was long overdue. The only wish I would have is to make it go on for another 2 hours. We've covered so much ground in our lives over the last 6 years. In this episode we talk about times when we lived with each other up in Ames, why the creative types tend to overthink a lot, bed rotting, etc. Our friendship has always been carried by conversations like this one. I can only hope that people who watch or listen to this one can grab something from it.Support the show---CHECKLIST ITEMS---Follow my pages on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pootsiemama/andhttps://www.instagram.com/nurturethemindpod/Support:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1020460/supportandhttps://buymeacoffee.com/colepoots

This week we veer away from music reactions and talk about a few subjects that have been sitting on my mind. These two changes in my habits here recently have made all the difference. I think they can help all of us start living a better existence. All it takes is a little bit of discipline to really start to get the momentum train going. All I'm asking is that you consider it and give it a shot. It can't hurt to give it a shot and see what happens, right?Support the show---CHECKLIST ITEMS---Follow my pages on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pootsiemama/andhttps://www.instagram.com/nurturethemindpod/Support:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1020460/supportandhttps://buymeacoffee.com/colepoots

Music Monday Ep. 159: We are officially back with some music from Vince Staples!! Last week he released his new album, "Cry Baby". In this video, I react to one of the singles off the album and it is titled, "White Flag". I also tune in to watching the music video. I love Vince's music but I am tired of people in 2026 claiming that they are oppressed for being the color black. I believe that must people who make up this world don't look through the lens of color. This sort of conversation only puts people further into their camps of whichever side they identify with. I can appreciate an artist trying to express themselves but I believe this idea of, "White Supremacy" bears no weight anymore. If you are hyper focused on race then of course you are going to think everything is about race.Support the show---CHECKLIST ITEMS---Follow my pages on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pootsiemama/andhttps://www.instagram.com/nurturethemindpod/Support:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1020460/supportandhttps://buymeacoffee.com/colepoots

Music Monday Ep. 158: This week we fell into a brand new artist/band/musician: Kid Sistr! I can safely say that these 3 ladies rock out. The song I listened to is, 'Maniac'. It's crazy to think that they have been around since 2017 and yet they have no albums to show for it. Maybe 2026 is the year where that changes because I want to hear a bigger sample size! I want to hear a whole conceptual album. They have a ton of singles and one EP out there to this date. It's time to change. I'm ready and I'm sure their core fans are ready!Support the show---CHECKLIST ITEMS---Follow my pages on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pootsiemama/andhttps://www.instagram.com/nurturethemindpod/Support:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1020460/supportandhttps://buymeacoffee.com/colepoots

Music Monday Ep. 157: This week we explore a TDE rockstar, Isaiah Rashad! He has a new album that will be released tomorrow, May 1st. The album is titled, 'IT'S BEEN AWFUL'. The song that I listened to is the lead single off of this album titled, 'SAME SH!T'. I'm not lying when I say that this song puts you into a state of hypnosis. I've listened to countless times throughout this week while driving in my black Honda Ridgeline truck. It only gets more smooth with multiple listens. Isaiah I think at this point in time is the king creating certain moods and vibes through the sounds of his tracks. It has me extremely hyped for the album to drop! Support the show---CHECKLIST ITEMS---Follow my pages on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pootsiemama/andhttps://www.instagram.com/nurturethemindpod/Support:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1020460/supportandhttps://buymeacoffee.com/colepoots

Music Monday Ep. 156: This week we return back to Bilmuri. His album, 'KINDA HARD' recently just dropped. For the purpose of this reaction, I got to check the song and title track, 'KINDA HARD' as well as, 'MORE THAN HATE'. I have to say the more that I listen to this guy, the more I start to become a fan of him. I have heard nothing but quality music come from this man. He blends so many sounds together so well. I also watched both visualizers for each of these two songs. Now I'm going to explore the whole album!Support the show---CHECKLIST ITEMS---Follow my pages on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pootsiemama/andhttps://www.instagram.com/nurturethemindpod/Support:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1020460/supportandhttps://buymeacoffee.com/colepoots

Music Monday Ep. 155: This week we introduce a new artist to the channel! The Queen, Miss Ella Langley and she just dropped her new album, "Dandelion" on April 10th. The song I did a reaction for is actually the title track, 'Dandelion' and it couldn't have been more fantastic on first listen. She has a masterful way of describing things and making her lyrics full of depth. The music was great. The music video was simple, yet it packed a bunch.

It has been a minute since I have done a podcast with another person on this channel. So glad I was able to bring on one of my former clients to talk about her weight loss journey, how technology is screwing us up, and so much more. I'm hoping to do more podcasts like these in the future. Hit me up if any of you would ever be interested in coming on the podcast.

Music Monday Ep. 154: This week I was able to check out a unreleased song from Wiz Khalifa & MGK. Wiz previewed the song on his twitch stream. These two will tour later this year for mgk's 'lost americana tour'. The song is called, 'i see the world in blue'. These two artists blend beautifully on this track just like they did on, 'Mind Of A Stoner'.

Music Monday Ep. 153: This week we return to Tom MacDonald. The newest song that he dropped is called, "ANTI". He is making the claim that everyone involved in the 'Epstein Files' is anti-christ. I went on one of my long rants, basically trying to figure out why we're involved in the war in the Middle East right now. I know I am not the only American who is sharing this frustration.

Music Monday Ep. 152: This week I was able to discover who Bilmuri is. He teamed up with the powerhouse known as A Day to Remember to create the beautifully crafted song, "ALWAYS LET YOU DOWN". I was also able to catch the official music video for this reaction. I really enjoyed the whole experience and I believe this track will be rotating through my playlist for the rest of 2026.Support the show---CHECKLIST ITEMS---Follow my pages on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pootsiemama/andhttps://www.instagram.com/nurturethemindpod/Support:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1020460/supportandhttps://buymeacoffee.com/colepoots

Music Monday Ep. 151: This week we have another new band that is introduced to the channel! For the first time, I am reacting to TOOL. This is an older song, "Forty Six & 2". My client, Chad told me to do some reactions on them and then one of my best friends, Dakota has also been a big fan of this group for a long time. He has been letting me for awhile that Maynard and his multiple bands are such a pleasant listen to the human ears. Another great choice!Support the show---CHECKLIST ITEMS---Follow my pages on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pootsiemama/andhttps://www.instagram.com/nurturethemindpod/Support:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1020460/supportandhttps://buymeacoffee.com/colepoots

Music Monday Ep. 150: This week we indulge in such a tasty treat, which is a Mac Miller and Thundercat collaboration. The team up on the song, 'She Knows Too Much'. There is also a animated music video that goes along with the track. This joint feels funky, groovy, and psychedelic. I guess I shouldn't have expected anything less. The chemistry is easy to identify when these super powers team up. You can tell they were true friends at the end of the day.

Music Monday Ep. 149: This week we check out a collaboration that turned out to be pretty sick. Knocked Loose and Denzel Curry team up on the track, 'Hive Mind'. I was also able to watch the music video. It is amazing when you get to see three of your favorite worlds collide. Metal, Rap/Hip Hop, and Skateboarding.

Music Monday Ep. 148: We have another return the channel, which is Mr. Tom MacDonald. The is called, "Pray For The Left". I was also able to watch the music video on this. As expected from the title, Tom is his views on the democratic side of the aisle. Some of the things he says in this song are very accurate and should be considered by everyone who listens to the track. We have some slight disagreements but I think in majority he is spot on.Support the show---CHECKLIST ITEMS---Follow my pages on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pootsiemama/andhttps://www.instagram.com/nurturethemindpod/Support:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1020460/supportandhttps://buymeacoffee.com/colepoots

Music Monday Ep. 147: This week we have Ren returning to the channel. I listened to one of his newest songs, "Vincent's Tale - Starry Night". I was also blessed with watching the music video. Ren really killed it on this song, as he tends to do with every of his that I've ever heard. The constant switching of different sounds really keeps you on your toes throughout the whole experience. His lyrics go very deep in this song as well.

Music Monday Ep. 146: This week we have a collection of three new artists on the channel. Maxo Kream, Denzel Curry, and JPEGMAFIA teamed up on the song, "FAKE JEEZY". A lot of high energy was displayed from Curry and Kream. JPEG offers no feature on the track but apparently his contribution was by producing the song. I also got to check out the music video.

Music Monday Ep. 145: This week we go right back to A$AP Rocky. His new album, "Don't Be Dumb" dropped last Friday. In this video I review the first song off of that album, "ORDER OF PROTECTION". Rocky is back in full force on this album. So far from what I have heard off of the project, it sounds just as experimental as, "Testing" did.

Music Monday Ep. 143: This week I take on a suggestion from my mom. She has been telling me for awhile that I should check out the song, "Carolina Drama" by The Raconteurs. There are a bunch of lyrics and storytelling going on in this song, so it was a little hard to follow that aspect. I really enjoyed the instrumental throughout the song though. I kept saying in the reaction that it has a frenetic pace to it and that guitar pulsed itself all the way through the entire song.

Music Monday Ep. 141: This week I decided to do something a little different. Normally you would get a music reaction from me. We know that at the end of each year, everybody is showcasing their Spotify or Apple Music Wrapped Playlists from the music that they listened to the most over the entire year. I thought it would be fun, cool, and different to show you guys mine. Obviously we still have to get through the rest of December, so mine will entail the music I have been listening to from January through November.

Music Monday Ep. 140: we are back with another music reaction after a little hiatus. This week I decided to react to a video off of the YouTube channel, "There I Ruined It". This channel uses AI to mashup songs from different popular artists and musicians. The specific video I chose has to with the rock collective, "The Red Hot Chili Peppers". I give all of my thoughts in regard to use of AI and how it could potentially alter the course of human history.Support the show---CHECKLIST ITEMS---Follow my pages on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pootsiemama/andhttps://www.instagram.com/nurturethemindpod/Support:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1020460/supportandhttps://buymeacoffee.com/colepoots

Music Monday Ep. 139: We have another week of Chris Webby! This time I start by diving into his series of songs called, "Raw Thoughts". In this first iteration in the series, you can tell that he is leaning liberal. I wonder how much that is going to change as we continue to listen to the newer tracks.

This week we stray away from Music Monday for a second and talk about a subject that has been stuck on my mind. It feels like time is speeding up more than I would normally notice. Do you guys notice this as well? Am I going crazy? It is something I can't ignore anymore and well, I decided to make a video about it. Really curious to see if you guys share the same thoughts as I do.

Music Monday Ep. 136: This week we continue the theme of Tom MacDonald. It is a somber and heavy moment though. We are talking about the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The song from Tom is called, "CHARLIE". I also watched the music video. It is really short at 2 minutes and 30 seconds. I wonder how Tom gets these song and videos out so quickly when a major event happens, just like the time when Donald Trump was grazed in the ear. The emotions and the rawness are well evident in this reaction and I will not apologize for that. Every common sense American in this country should be livid about what happened last Wednesday in Utah.Support the show---CHECKLIST ITEMS---Follow my pages on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pootsiemama/andhttps://www.instagram.com/nurturethemindpod/Support:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1020460/supportandhttps://buymeacoffee.com/colepoots

Music Monday Ep. 135: This week we return to Tom MacDonald for a music reaction. Within the last few weeks, he dropped a song, "The Devil Is A Democrat". There is also a music video that he dropped for this song. It appears that Tom is going after the California politician, Gavin Newsom in this song. Apparently Gavin has since had his own response to Tom's song. The stab from Newsom is highly ironic because he claims Tom likes men. It is meant to be a dig from the governor who is in heavy support of the LGBT community. Make that make sense.Support the show---CHECKLIST ITEMS---Follow my pages on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pootsiemama/andhttps://www.instagram.com/nurturethemindpod/Support:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1020460/supportandhttps://buymeacoffee.com/colepoots

Music Monday Ep. 134: This week we bring back to the channel one of my favorite artists of all time, Earl Sweatshirt. He is a dad now of two. He is married. The song I chose to listen to is called, "TOURMALINE". The new album he dropped is, "Live Laugh Love". And it feels like Earl is actually embracing that title. He life noe exuberates living, laughing, and loving. Cool to see him make this transition from other darker albums like Feet Of Clay, I Don't Like Shit I Don't Go Outside, and Some Rap Songs.

In this video I react to the final minutes of Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers. We finally won a title and it feels so good. Since I became a Thunder fan during the 2011-12 season, I've been waiting patiently for this moment. Through the James Harden trade, Kevin Durant leaving, Paul George getting traded, Russ getting traded, and in 2016 letting the Warriors come back from being down 3-1. It all culminated to this moment. This is exactly how it was supposed to happen.Support the show---CHECKLIST ITEMS---Follow my pages on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pootsiemama/andhttps://www.instagram.com/nurturethemindpod/Support:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1020460/supportandhttps://buymeacoffee.com/colepoots

Music Monday Ep. 128: Music Monday is officially back!! This week I spent time listening to, reviewing, and watching music video to Manchild by Sabrina Carpenter. This song immediately feels like a summer bop. I imagine it will be played over and over again on the airwaves. I really dug the song though. I don't even think it is the best part in all honesty. The best part to me was the chaotic nature of the music video. There were so many moving parts to it.

Been awhile since I posted a new video on the channel so I apologize for that. Also been awhile since I did a music reaction for Music Monday. I've had a lot going on in my life here recently and that is why it has taken so long. One of those things is deciding I was going to road trip down to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for Game 2 of the NBA Finals to watch my Oklahoma City Thunder team play the Indiana Pacers.

Music Monday Ep. 127: Falling In Reverse and Ronnie Radke return to the channel! This time they team up with Marilyn Manson on the song and music video for, "God is a Weapon". I love the moments in this song where it all gets heavy. The verses and the singing for me will take a second to get used to.

Music Monday Ep. 126: This week we are listening to a band that has never popped up on the channel before. This is a band that I used to jam all the time back in high school. To me, their sound is very reminiscent of A Day To Remember and that is probably one of the biggest reasons why I love their music. This song I listened to is from 2021. I had never listened to this project or their 2015 project; only from 2013 and 2011. It was a very solid song though.Support the show---CHECKLIST ITEMS---Follow my pages on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pootsiemama/andhttps://www.instagram.com/nurturethemindpod/Support:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1020460/supportandhttps://buymeacoffee.com/colepoots

In this video I detail why I made the decision to move out of my current apartment and to live with my parents once again. I have lived in this spot for almost 5 years now. It is going to be hard to say goodbye to this cozy pad. I'm thankful for all the memories I got to hold in this special place. This was my first solo apartment; a place where I was able to find a lot of growth as an emerging adult/man. For now, we part ways.Support the show---CHECKLIST ITEMS---Follow my pages on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pootsiemama/andhttps://www.instagram.com/nurturethemindpod/Support:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1020460/supportandhttps://buymeacoffee.com/colepoots

Music Monday Ep. 125: We are back with more Sleep Token! This is third single from their upcoming album, "Even In Arcadia". The song is called, "Damocles". It is beautifully sad. Vessel is in the thick of a struggle. Dealing with fame, notoriety, and an explosion of popularity. He clings onto it tightly and is afraid that he might lose it all. Anxiety and fear are always lingering in the background, only a few small steps away.Support the show---CHECKLIST ITEMS---Follow my pages on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pootsiemama/andhttps://www.instagram.com/nurturethemindpod/Support:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1020460/supportandhttps://buymeacoffee.com/colepoots

Music Monday Ep. 124: This week we revisit Tom MacDonald. It looks like on April 25th this man will be dropping a new album. The song we listened to and the music video we watched is, "Proud To Be A Problem". The subject matter in this song feels very straight forward. I love the simplicity of the lyrics and the acoustic guitar. Nothing crazy going on in the background of the music video.Support the show---CHECKLIST ITEMS---Follow my pages on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pootsiemama/andhttps://www.instagram.com/nurturethemindpod/Support:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1020460/supportandhttps://buymeacoffee.com/colepoots

Music Monday Ep. 123: This week we react to a request from my dear friend, Dakota Phillips. He told me I should go listen to Nutshell by Alice In Chains. This instrumental on this song is deeply moving and emotional. The lyrics are short and concise, but they certainly pack a punch. This was an enjoyable song to listen to!Support the show---CHECKLIST ITEMS---Follow my pages on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pootsiemama/andhttps://www.instagram.com/nurturethemindpod/Support:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1020460/supportandhttps://buymeacoffee.com/colepoots

Music Monday Ep. 122: We are back with another music reaction from the band, Sleep Token. They just dropped their second single, "Caramel" from their upcoming album, "Even In Arcadia" that drops on May 9th of this year. This song is a lot softer than the lead single, "Emergence". Nonetheless, we had a great time listening to the surprising sound of this new song.Support the show---CHECKLIST ITEMS---Follow my pages on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pootsiemama/andhttps://www.instagram.com/nurturethemindpod/Support:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1020460/supportandhttps://buymeacoffee.com/colepoots

In this video we talk about the many benefits of rucking. I just started getting back into doing rucks on a consistent basis over the last few weeks and I can already tell the difference in my body. This is a subject I am very passionate to be speaking about. I talk about my journey and experience. It might look a little different for you but I can at least tell you what I have noticed so far.Support the show---CHECKLIST ITEMS---Follow my pages on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pootsiemama/andhttps://www.instagram.com/nurturethemindpod/Support:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1020460/supportandhttps://buymeacoffee.com/colepoots

Music Monday Ep. 121: This week we visit one of my favorite bands of all time. It is none other than A Day to Remember. They just dropped their 8th LP, "Big Ole Album Vol. 1". To round out this music reaction I decided to listen to the last track on the album. "Close Than You Think" is an emotional track and masterful way to end this project. Really feels like these guys bounced back from their last album, "You're Welcome". Enjoy.Support the show---CHECKLIST ITEMS---Follow my pages on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pootsiemama/andhttps://www.instagram.com/nurturethemindpod/Support:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1020460/supportandhttps://buymeacoffee.com/colepoots

Music Monday Ep. 120: This week we revisit the wonderful world of Sleep Token. The have an album coming out in May called, "Even In Arcadia". Their lead single for the album that we listened to is, "Emergence". I can't say one negative thing about this group. They continuously put out great music. Their genre bending sound keeps you on your feet the entire time.Support the show---CHECKLIST ITEMS---Follow my pages on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pootsiemama/andhttps://www.instagram.com/nurturethemindpod/Support:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1020460/supportandhttps://buymeacoffee.com/colepoots
