    Things you might hear on the pod: -"They don't think you're food. They think you're a weird sea creature they haven't seen before." -"My wife prefers Only Wanna Be With You over the farting noises." -"Oh sorry for the misunderstanding. We'll give you your arm back." Hootie & the Blowfish drummer Jim Sonefeld joins us as our first ever repeat guest! Soni (SO-NEE), as his friends call him and of course we're best friends now, talks about his book, touring, addiction, faith, Tiger Woods' wedding (WHAT?!?!) and of course Oprah. And more! Also Michelle swims with sharks, Ryan shows weaknesses of ChatpGPT and Jeremy still can't do the intro without laughing. What else is new....Also this episode is a little longer than normal, but it's Hootie. You're lucky it's not longer. Be sure to follow Soni on Facebook, Instagram and go buy his book "Swimming with the Blowfish: Hootie, Healing and One Hell of a Ride." It's great!

    Fareway Meat & Grocery CEO Reynolds Cramer

    Things you might hear on the podcast: -Blink if you don't feel safe on this podcast. -I wore the ‘please be patient I’m a trainee' badge for about 2 years. -I have Hootie & the Blowfish, you have Fareway and Yosh has Japan.

And be sure to hit up Fareway every Wednesday to get a chicken for $5! $5!! For more info on Jeremy, Ryan and Michelle check out https://www.thejeremybaumann.com/podcast.

    Zavier Scott - Minnesota Vikings Running Back

    Is it possible for Jeremy to make it through the intro without laughing? Clearly not. But hopefully you listen anyway.

What an amazing guy!

    Things you might hear on the podcast: -This is Lady Deathstrike. She’s here to strike fear into your hearts. -Aquaman, Superman and Baumann.

We hope you enjoy listening to our new episode and co-host and that you laugh as much as we did. Be warned - there’s lots of Office talk on this one! Also a little too much cat talk.

    Pete Richardson - LifePlan & StratOp GOAT

    Things you might hear on the podcast: -Our brains are more than half stupid. -What a true public servant, but boy was that a category 5 mistake. -I have not lived in a hairball. I have orbited hairballs. Last time Jeremy had some audio challenges and this time was Ryan’s turn. So bear with us please. Pete drops some major truth & thought bombs and Jeremy & Ryan both share some important life updates. One might be more exciting than the other, but we won’t tell you which one. And of course we have some fun so don’t miss the pop quiz!  For more information on LifePlans, check out https://www.thejeremybaumann.com/lifeplan.

  7. Emma & Kaylee - The Airplane Ladies

    07/12/2025

    Emma & Kaylee - The Airplane Ladies

    Things you might hear on the podcast: -Either I look like a weirdo or I'm right and hopefully the latter. -Isn't Haliburton a TikTok sound? -Oprah was on the fence but she's been overplayed. Also, Emma & Kaylee join us for an inspiring conversation about life, death, faith and what the Haliburton! Plus we laugh. A LOT. But seriously, these young ladies who Jeremy met randomly on an airplane will encourage you more than you can imagine. Disclaimer: failure to maintain the proper amount of Kleenexes may result in an extraordinary amount of snot & tears. And no, we did not pay them to laugh at all of our dumb jokes.....as far as you know....PS - sorry about Jeremy's audio the first 15 minutes or so. It took him that long to realize he was using his ear buds as a mic rather than an actual microphone. Forgive him, for he (clearly) knows not what he does. PPS - yes we know Alyssa is still in the picture. Jeremy's just too lazy to change it till we have a new co-host. For more info on Jeremy and Ryan check out https://www.thejeremybaumann.com/podcast.
