<description><![CDATA[<p>Well.. The the time has come to say farewell from all of us who have contributed to the Smells Like Middle-Aged Spirit Podcast! Thank you to everyone who pushed play on our content for nearly 4 years. The show ends the way it began, Nick Stevenson and Chris Clark sitting down and having an honest and sincere conversation. We know we have grown from this experience, and we hope that you have grown from listening to us. Our biggest goal was to start conversations that matter, between people who may have otherwise never had the opportunity. </p>
<p>What if a couple nobodies from Texas, changed the world? We may not have changed the planet, but we changed our little sliver of the world. There are too many people to thank but we tried to give all of your flowers with this episode! Til we meet again friends!!</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>To be, or not to be... That is certainly a question that I believe deserves an answer. There is certainly a divide on what woke means. Is it good? Is it bad? Should we fight against it? Should we fight for it? I have a take on this and I'm likely coming from a prospective you never thought of before. I only ask that you challenge what you think you know. </p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>It goes without saying that Season 4 had been a lot of fun. We took risks and tired new things and whether 500 people tuned in or less than 100, we have had fun and are proud of what we’ve done. But there are times life dictates the the fun will have to wait. Toward the end of the season that began to happen. Since we fell behind we decided tonight will be our mid-season finale and we will wrap up the season after the summer. Tonight we catch up, we embrace one another as family, and we invite you to do the same with us.</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>We are happy to welcome our 1st gust of the season, Dr. Richard Harris! He is not only a doctor but he is a fellow podcaster who is very passionate about teaching others to adopt a health and wellness lifestyle and mindset. We will get to know his journey to becoming a doctor and talk about the health concerns of us middle-aged folks. We cap off the night with a game of &quot;WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?&quot; We will see ho good Dr. Harris is when we read off some symptoms and see if he can diagnose the disease! Add some audience participation and a give away and it's gonna be a night to remember! </p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Season 4 kicks off with a new twist!! Smells Like Middle-Aged Spirit Podcast goes LIVE every Thursday at 7:30 PM CST! This new feature allows us to let the audience join the conversation. A feature that immediately paid off in this Season Premiere! We got caught up on some of the things that happened while we were away, and even made some big announcements! There was a great mix of fun topics such as the awesomeness that was SPIDER-MAN NWH, and &quot;Dem Boyz&quot; gettin bounced in the 1st round of the playoffs, to the more serious topics such as the debate about artists removing music from Spotify in protest of Joe Rogan. We went a little longer than usual, but we are sure that you will enjoy the conversation and maybe even have the urge to share you opinions with us! We top it all off with a great prank call of one of our favorite sponsors!</p>
<p>You can Subscribe on our YouTube Channel (<a href="http://YouTube.com/c/SmellsLikeMiddleAgedSpiritPodcast" rel="nofollow">YouTube.com/c/SmellsLikeMiddleAgedSpiritPodcast</a>) and share with us in conversation, or if you prefer to keep listening you can interact with us on social media.

<description><![CDATA[<p>Spit Talkin' with PoetLadiKi was definitely one of the highlights of season 3 for us! Kisha, who first appeared on Episode #13, was someone that we knew we wanted to be a part of this show in any way possible and we were very blessed to have her share her gift with us in this monthly segment. So we have decided to publish each poem individually for you to enjoy again! Thank you so much to the woman who we have come to refer to as &quot;The Force To Be Reckoned With!</p>
<p>Here is the interview Kisha did with Nick before the season started, catching up on things and introducing the new segment! For live performances, contact PoetLadiKi at DynamicLyrics1@yahoo.com</p>

The crew joins Nick via Facetime and the show goes on LIVE on Facebook! We talk about the reappearance of &quot;Steve&quot; from Blues Clues, Britney Spears, the backlash that Nick got for not caring about either of them, and we chop ot up about why women are paid less in sports.

<description><![CDATA[<p>She was supposed to be a statistic. But through every step of her journey it became clear that Minnie had a purpose on this earth greater than being a cautionary tale. Seemingly alone, with even her faith being used against her, are she was able to find an extraordinary strength within to overcome domestic violence, sexual assault, and all of the unfortunate repercussions that come with being a victim. But Minnie would not be anyone’s victim. She instead turned her misfortune into opportunity to help others who have been subject to the atrocities that she had been through.

<description><![CDATA[<p>Often it's the ones we love most who disappoint us the most. Everyone falls short of their greatest hopes for themselves we are imperfect, and the country we love is made up of imperfect people. Yet that doesn't mean we should be absolved from accountability. After all we are the nation that is &quot;for the people and by the people&quot;. Why is it that we the people are now viewing one another as enemies, rather than fellow patriots with different opinions on how to help America reach Her highest calling? Why are today's debates not based on truth and reason, but rather based the inflamed passions about relatively irrelevant topics and political talking points with little to no merit? How is it that what was once viewed as the greatest country in the world, is possibly more divided now than in times past? The SLMASP crew get together in this episode and offer our opinions on the matter. We hope that more dialog between people with differing opinions will be the result, along with a more unified people as a whole.</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>The year 2020 made many of us, who may have otherwise not given it any thought, more aware of our mental health. As our norms were shattered, many of us were alone, some of us jobless, missing the personal connection of going out with friends and having our large family gatherings. It took its toll and even as things are opening back up, there are residual effects. &quot;How are you?.... I'm fine...&quot; We utter both these with such thoughtless ease. But have you asked anyone how they are REALLY doing? Have you asked yourself how are you doing? </p>
<p>In this episode of &quot;Off Script&quot; - with Nick Stevenson he is honored to be joined by his mother Eura Stevenson, and his daughter Maddie Stevenson, as the last 3 generations on this branch of the Stevenson family tree get together and discuss the role mental health has played in each of their lives. The wisdom being passed on fro one generation to another will surely touch you and hopefully remind you that of all the people in your life, its family over everything. W even give the Bearded Producer a mental health check via the telephone. Our hope is that everyone finds something useful, something meaningful, and something helpful from this episode.</p>
<p>We appreciate greatly all our listeners! Even when we are late, we are always here for you!</p>

<description><![CDATA[It’s the return of random shenanigans! Funny stories in the news, funny personal stories, petty debates and a hint of immaturity... just a hint. This episode features the debut of “CONNspiracies” - with Chris Conn. We will discuss the Qanon conspiracy theory and whether it bears any merit. We won't lie... this episode got out of hand but it was all in good fun!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[What is Autism? Where does it come from? What are the signs of autism? These are 3 pretty basic questions to have answered in order to spread autism awareness. But you may be surprised to find out that many people can't answer those questions, but will be quick to share the latest hashtag, or internet challenge. How do we know? Nick Stevenson was among those people. After recognizing that it's not cool to spread fake awareness, we decided to really find out what autism is, from the source that would know best. Our guest Larkin Banister is an #AutismMom of Tallen aka "T" and she sits down with us to talk about the range of emotions from the time of diagnosis, dealing with the everyday challenges, and also realizing that this diagnosis is not a death sentence. It is possible to embrace your child for who they are and live  a happy life with them, well on into their adulthood. Larkin won't tell you it's easy, but she will let you know that it is possible. Our hope is that we will spread some true awareness and spread the message of kindness and empathy for autism parents, children, and adults.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It’s the talk that every parent dreads! Let’s face it, talking to your kids about sex is scary! But it’s a talk that needs to happen, and according to some experts it might need to happen sooner than you may think! So let’s talk about it! We discuss how we got the talk from our parents, how we gave or plan to give the talk to our kids, and we talk about some suggestions from some experts on the subject. What better to do after all that than have a #DadJokes contest!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>The most highly anticipated episode of the season didn't disappoint! well.... other than technical issues causing some issues with video quality... (What can ya do but giggle at this point?) Nonetheless, we thank goodness that podcasting is indeed theatre of the mind, and Rose The Hypnotist took us on a journey! We didn't know what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised and very impressed by this fireball of energy and positivity. Our eyes were opened to some new possibilities and we hope yours will be also!</p>

"Laughter Is The Best Medicine" returns for the 1st time this season and hijinks ensued! Funny stories from the news, a little too personal admissions and some Dad Jokes do the trick in this episode.

<description><![CDATA[Sometimes the unspeakable must be spoken. Our good friend Raquel Stewart knows this all to well and she graciously joined us to tell her truth for the 1st time publicly. These conversations are hard, but must be had. We have to make people who have not gone through this aware that it can happen to anyone and help them recognize the signs. We also need to let victims know it is okay to speak out, both for the sake of justice and their mental health and well-being. We thank Raquel for her bravery and we hope at ;least one person will benefit from this  very important discussion.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA["The Wheel Of Spirit" is back! We actually have a wheel this time! Our good friends and top 2/2 fan Ricky Palacios joins the fun and plays the wheel with us. We discuss the validity of the statement "happy wife, happy life", we also discuss whether it is possible for a man and woman to have a platonic relationship, what 3 famous people that are no longer living we'd want to have dinner with. Then we discuss if "CROCS" should ever be worn and Ricky tells us the story of how he came to the decision to become a Marine. Pull up a chair! The game is on!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We are joined by Kisha Lott-Wells,  aka "PoetLadiKi" who is an entrepreneur, author, poet, motivational speaker, mother and loving wife. A long time friend of Nick's, Kisha comes in to catch up share her wisdom and experience in business, relationships, and parenthood. Her mission is to be "a force to stimulate change" and given the opportunity and a microphone, she will not shy away from doing that with the power of her words. The proof is right here in this episode. You'll be ready to step out and take on you next challenge, as soon as you hear Kisha speak her truth, and you'll hopefully be a step closer to having the courage to speak yours as well. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Happy 10th episode all you Spirit Sniffers!! We've been going strong thanks to all the wonderful support from our awesome listeners. It's been our pleasure to be a brief distraction from everything going on in this crazy world, but we figured it's time we address some of the current events taking place in our country. Nick and Chris have always said, they want to have the hard conversations, and show the world how its's okay to disagree and show respect simultaneously. Well in this episode we take on, blow back from reactions to the death of Kobe, reactions from the Super Bowl halftime show, and of course we address "the elephant in the room". Finally we offer up our top 10 life moments in celebration of our 10th episode!

Take a break from the grind, and share a laugh with us.</p>

Through it all, the good, the bad, and the ugly, one thing is for certain. At the end of the day, it's family over everything.</p>
