Hey Jeff. Hey Eric. How are you? I'm pretty good. How are you? Doing well, thank you. Happy 2018 to you and all of our listeners out there. And before we get into today's podcast, we wanted to take care of a little business. Yes, we have business to attend to, which is that we are going to be at SOBs here in New York City on January 10th.

On today's episode of a waste of time with It's the Real, we wanted to pay tribute to our late friend Reggio say you guys know him as Combat Jack, the podcaster, the co-founder of Loudspeakers Network,

the lawyer, the father, the man himself. And Jeff and I were lucky enough to, along with

750 plus people, attend a memorial service this past week for Reggie at the Buddhist

Temple that he attended for many years.

And there were a lot of great speakers that night from his cousin Fritz to his son Chuma,

to Angela Yee, to coworkers like James McMillan, to a whole bunch of people.

And it painted a picture of Reggie the human being in all facets of his life.

And in listening to this episode and preparing to put it out today, we got a lot of those lessons from this interview.

And that's why we felt it was so important to hear it from Reggie himself.

So if you weren't able to go to his service, or even if you were, there's so much to get out of this.

His devotion to Buddhism, his responsibilities as a father, his love of education and the arts,

his love of music, his grasping onto his own dreams and switching up a career in what people

may say is late in life, and seeing those dreams through.

And so we wanted to share this with you.

As I'm sure a lot of you know, Jeff and I lost our father to cancer at an early age eight years ago.

And if there's one thing that we can impart from that experience, it's that the morals and the values and the

love continue on. While someone's physical self can expire here on earth, it's those things that are ingrained in you that can live on beyond
