Navigating Nostalgia and Embracing Authenticity with With Daniel And Jordan

Picture this: you're back in your teenage bedroom, band posters on the wall, guitar riffs blasting through the speakers, and a sense of invincible youth. That's where Daniel and I start our journey in today's episode, walking you through the nostalgic avenues of our pop-punk beginnings before we head off to Atlanta for a sit-down with Davey Fortner of Freshman 15. Along the way, we'll let you in on the chaos that is Daniel's cord collection, and how a little organization can go a long way—even in our cluttered worlds of cables and creativity.

As we peel back the layers of our lives, we dive into the heart of vulnerability, its transformative role in our personal narratives, and the courage it takes to stand in our truths. Our candid conversation offers a glimpse into the strength found in the raw, unedited moments with those we treasure. We discuss not only the power of being open and honest but also the complexities and triumphs of being authentic in an age where digital facades are the norm. Let's just say, it's about getting real with each other, and it's as refreshing as it is scary.

We wrap with a rallying cry for connection and community, sparking a challenge for you to become a beacon in our growing network of listeners. Imagine having a hand in creating a space that celebrates the quirks that make each of us unique and the shared laughter that makes our community thrive. So kick back, get ready to smile, and perhaps see a reflection of yourself in our collective mirror of stories—because today, Daniel and I are sharing the best parts of our journey with you.

Daniel Lawson
Host
00:39
name of that that place, was it Bulldogs Cafe? Yeah, in Louisville, kentucky. Yeah, we were the pop punk band and we opened for. So there was two pop punk bands, well, maybe three kind of. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
00:55
I don't, yeah, I don't really there was some really hard core bands to like super the in crowd, didn't they play? 

Daniel Lawson

Jordan Hunter

Daniel Lawson

Jordan Hunter

They're still playing, but yeah, they were calling. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
01:08
We are the in crowd with the with the white streak in his hair. That the girl, oh, her name was Jordan Gotcha. Oh yeah, you know, because Jordan is a boy name or girl name. We covered that on the last episode. But yeah, so we're headed out to Atlanta to do that and I'm looking forward to that. It's gonna be a fun experience for us. We're gonna be sleeping in the same bed. Yeah yeah, we will be. Yeah, I'm more excited about that really excited. 

01:33
But yeah, just like the good old days, man, we share a bed back in the day every so often and you know we're gonna get to experience that 20 years later. So, just being comfortable with each other, yeah, I'll probably sleep at one end and he'll sleep at the other. If the toast, that's not a problem with me. Yeah, but if he starts sucking on him, that's when we cross the line. But anyways, yeah, previous week man, what's? What's your big guy going on? 

Jordan Hunter
Host
01:57
You know I've been thinking about this and you know, honestly, I've just been, I've had a lot of my mind, a lot of just clogging up my head, and I've been trying to think about my week and I guess we've just been so busy with this and you know my job, that I ain't had time to slow down a lot. And you know that's why I was saying I want us to start practicing, like maybe a meditation before, yeah, just to kind of get our heads clear and Pressing certain things out. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
02:22
We did do some cord rearranging this week or this past week at your house. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
02:27
Yeah, With all your Chords right, I forgot that even happened for some reason yeah. Daniel here has an obsession with chords and just being everything being crisp and clean. Yeah, came over to my hellhole that I live in where I do all my editing and my music and my video games and, and, and just got all my chords up and picked them up and mounted it and and now I feel I mean the rest of the room looks like a disaster. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
02:51
But that three-core, you know, just like that little certain percentage, it looks great. You know we still got a couple things we could do mountain this or that, but zero to. I think we have a 99% improvement rate in that corner. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
03:03
Yeah, it's a start, I guess. Yeah, I wish I could do that with my mind, just sort the cords out. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
03:09
I wish I had stuff in my mind too, sort Personally. Yeah, things aren't plugged in for you. Yeah, exactly, but yeah, we did that. What else Did you do anything? 

Jordan Hunter
Host
03:20
Music. I did another day of music, which we do weekly. I'll probably bring this up almost every week, but yeah, we recorded some vocals, so we almost done with song number two. Now is this a brand new song. You're working on. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
03:29
It's a different one. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
03:30
I don't think you've heard it yet. I might have, but we have to mix it still. But yeah, so we're halfway done. We've got four songs. We just gotta get through two more. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
03:39
There you go, so that'll be a total of what? Four, four yep, and then that's when you're releasing. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
03:45
Yeah, we're trying to do the social media thing a little bit too, because that's the world we live in. So we're gonna try to stock up on some content and do a lot of cool things. We wanna have cool animations with our stuff. We're talking about having collectibles like action figures, having vinyl to sell, because we're all nerds. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
04:02
It's a tangible item. It's something you can touch and collect and keep like my chicken back here. It's like it's a collectible item. It means something to me. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
04:13
Because you see it and look at it. I think that it's I like that buying band t-shirts from people and we wanna try to make high quality things. We don't wanna make it too cheap and just to make money. We wanna make a cool t-shirt you could have for years. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
04:27
Yeah, nothing pisses me off more than buying a t-shirt, washing it five or six times and then it's either cracked, you know. If it's not meant to be already cracked, but it's either cracked or faded or peeling or stuff like that. Do that, yeah, which I get it bands don't make a lot of money. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
04:42
It's hard to still put that money into all that, Because if it's high quality you're gonna have to dump some money into it. Yeah, yeah for sure, but our goal is to not be putting out things that it's just a waste of money after six months. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
04:54
Yeah that's I mean. Yeah, it's true. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
04:59
What do you got going on this week? 

Daniel Lawson
Host
05:00
Man, this week has been crazy too Just working Awesome Lawson stuff, Daniel and Jordan stuff. But I do have a pretty good story, you know. I don't know if any of you guys or if you are with a significant other, male or female, because I could really care less. But you know, I'm married to Whitney, you know and A female. Yeah, she's a female. I don't know many Whitney men, but I wouldn't put a pass in. I'm sure there's some out there. But you know, there's just certain things that you do that is embarrassing, you know, oh yeah. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
05:36
Yeah, well-, what do you do this time? I didn't do anything. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
05:40
But I tell you what I was doing. I was softly asleep, completely asleep, in the best sleep I've ever had. I mean, I stay up pretty late. I stay up to like probably two. Sometimes I wake up at seven, take the kids to the bus, stop this, that and the other. So I don't get much sleep. But when I do sleep it is the best sleep, and I'm woken up to sounds like a pitcher of water being poured into the toilet, Like it is that loud, and I'm like what in the hell is that? Well, Whitney took three laxatives. 

06:13
Oh, Not one not two, three, and literally she was complaining all day. My stomach, my stomach, my stomach, and she would go in the bathroom smells like death. And then, seven times later, she's still in there. Okay, well, I don't think she has nothing more to get out at this point at all. Right, and so it's three in the morning and it sounds like you know a big bucket at holiday world when it dumps over and it's like shh, some poor child's underneath it? 

06:44
Yes, and he's like, ah, getting shit on. But yeah, dude, it was so loud and it woke me up from my sleep and the bathroom is behind the wall. I like it's behind the wall and it's a pretty big bathroom, but her poop squirts woke me up, hurt every bit of it, oh God. 

07:02
And I asked her about it that morning. I was like what was going on and she's like it's them laxatives. Well then I go to use the bathroom, of course, and there's residue, residue, do all over the all over the toilet seat. So I lifted up and it looked like an exact replica of a toilet from Walmart. I said, jesus Christ, do you not like like it was just everywhere, all over the ball, all over the rim. It looked like a toilet in Walmart. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
07:32
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was disgusting. It was a splash back, yes, and underneath you shouldn't have looked. Yeah, well, I mean, I don't know why I looked. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
07:40
I don't know what I was doing down there Maybe just you know inspecting the toilet. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
07:44
Do you want to? Fiance checks after me. That's her problem. See, I've never had splash back. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
07:49
I don't know nothing about I've never had liquid poop. You've never had diarrhea. I don't not to that extent. I mean it's been like mushy kind of like oatmeal-ish. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
08:00
Oh, that's sludgy. I know what you're talking about. That's sludgy. That's actually worse. What you never had liquid, seriously. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
08:09
Seriously, I never have, so I've never experienced that. Do you eat fast food often? I know you do like the Chick-O-Lay thing, right, you get like your wraps. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
08:17
But you don't do like Chick-O-Lay Chocolate bail. Yeah, no, I would love to Right chicken sandwich. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
08:23
I've heard their spicy chicken gives people a massive diarrhea. I'm sure it does. It messes Dustin up no-transcript. It's the best spicy chicken in the world but I will not eat it because it gives me diarrhea. But he will eat it, but he will eat it. Yeah, I love it, and it does the same thing to Brie. Sorry, brie, because I know you're listening right now, but hey, no one knows what you look like. But they do know your name. We'll post a picture right up here. That's my best friend. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
08:47
She gets diarrhea. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
08:49
But yeah, and I was just shocked Beautiful woman, my woman, takes poopy pills too. That's what she calls them Inside poopy pills. Oh, that's right. Yeah, she does. Does she have to do that all the? 

Jordan Hunter
Host
09:01
time, all the time, and it doesn't seem like it affects her at all. So she still doesn't poop. It's the most bizarre thing. Might need to get that looked at. Yeah, I know she's gone. She's gone. She has an app on her phone where it's got like she can enter in a log. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
09:17
A log, literally A poop log. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
09:20
The form of the poop, like if it's pellets, or if it's liquid, or if it's pellets. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
09:24
I have lots of pellets right now. You're a pellet guy, yeah, because of my diet and constipation. Yeah, you're on the opposite side of the spectrum. It's kind of like gravel, like pea-sized gravel Gravel, not like a small as rabbit shit To the bleeds, pretty close. I mean. It does sound like you're dropping a bag of Legos in there, a bag of. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
09:44
Legos. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
09:46
So I get a little splash back from that, but it's clean water. So at the end of the day, that really helps get everything off. But so that's cool. She's got a little log for her poop. But yeah, man, just that embarrassing stuff that Whitney does. I love her to death, but she's got issues. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
10:05
The toilet. Yeah, it's a private area. I'm sure you asked her to bring this up, right? Nope, I didn't ask any to bring mine up here's our wives. Going to the doghouse. That's funny. Once again, Dan and I stay in the doghouse, I think. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
10:20
Yeah, I've learned to live with it and just embrace it. Once you get in there, you just redecorate it a little bit. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
10:29
Just like a doll. You walk a couple of rounds in a circle, then you lay down Exactly. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
10:33
But yeah, that's been my week, man, but we'll see what next week has in store for the both of us. Yeah Well, now comes to our favorite part of the episode, where we come up with the word of the day, and when I say we, I mean my best friend, jordan Hunter. This is all I think about. That was a hold on, let's not discredit that introduction. Thank you, Daniel. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
10:59
OK, is that what you needed? Yeah, ok. Anyways, take her off. Word of the week this week is vulnerability. I think it's important to be able to put yourself out there, have your know that you have weaknesses. Everyone has weaknesses. People who put themselves out there aren't just people who are ultra strong with no flaws. You need to be vulnerable with people close to you and if you're wanting to do something, like we are, you gotta be vulnerable. Putting it out there in the public and people are going to point out your weaknesses. That's going to happen. That's a real fear, but who cares? All it is is talk. There's not much more to it than that, and I think it's important for you to strengthen your weaknesses. You have to be vulnerable for the start. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
11:42
Yeah, and it's a scary thing to become vulnerable. I mean, that's a big step, you know, to becoming the person that you are. I feel like that is one of the major steps of becoming an adult is being able to be that way towards your spouse, towards your kids, you know, towards your friends. Yeah, it takes a lot to become vulnerable, but when you do, I feel like it kind of I don't know. I feel like when I'm vulnerable, a weight is lifted off my chest. If there's something I need to talk about or just open up, you know, and I feel good about it, especially if I have that person I can lean on, who's not going to judge me for something or, you know, think twice because I did something or said something, but it's just like I'm opening up completely free. Here's what's going on, you know, and at the end of the day, you could be a person. That makes me feel better. Yeah For opening up, you know. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
12:39
Yeah, yeah, being vulnerable. It's amazing how, at first you're really scared because you're insecure of that weakness that you have. But you'll be surprised when you open to start, start trying to be vulnerable with your friends and your family or the one person that you're close to. And once you show those weaknesses to those people and if they care about you, they won't make you feel worse about it. They'll make you realize that maybe you have anxieties about something that's not, it's over, you're overthinking it, you're overreacting, and that those weaknesses are something that everyone experiences in life, that we aren't perfect people, we don't have perfect pasts. We don't want perfect futures either. 

13:20
And that, being able to admit that we have made mistakes and there is a healing process that starts once you're able to be vulnerable to someone. And it's not to say you need to put it out there for the whole public to see because, honestly, there's too many people out there who are too judgmental and all that that are going to come at you and they'll make you feel worse about it. But if you can just start with your friends and family so they can give you a loving response, you can grow a strength in that and then in that strength, the public criticism can kind of shrug off and all this is hypothetical. I don't really know. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
13:53
Yeah, well, I mean other people's opinions that you don't know shouldn't even matter anyways, you know. But at the end of the day we're human and we have feelings. Just because you don't care what they have to say doesn't mean what they say is not gonna hurt your feelings you know what? I mean, but at the end of the day you just can't worry about that stuff Is it worth losing all the possibilities that this world has to? 

Jordan Hunter
Host
14:15
offer because you're scared of that? No, it's not, when it comes down to it you have to make a decision. It's either that or that. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
14:24
When did you feel like you? You know, understood opening up and becoming vulnerable. How long ago was that for you, or what is an experience that you've had by doing that? 

Jordan Hunter
Host
14:39
Well, my family has been very open. I was always allowed to speak my mind on things and stuff like that. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
14:45
And that's good, that's huge to have. A lot of kids, you know, feel like they can't open up, or even adults, and they get trained to hold everything in and I've always been pretty open and honest. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
14:57
I mean I still have made mistakes in my life that I don't keep to myself but mostly everything. But like with Kani, like just being open and honest about things, like even the things that I wouldn't tell anyone. I've had moments where I have told Kani and her reaction has been so loving and telling me that she knows who I actually am and that these things don't matter, that, yeah, it's a powerful healing that starts once you have someone tell you that that's okay. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
15:26
What about you, me? I feel like I've become vulnerable a lot whenever I started social media. I feel like I had to because you know, regardless of what you've done, it's gonna come out at some point. 

15:42
You know, and I'm not ever one to stand up on a pedestal and say like I'm a great guy just because I, you know, preach positivity or preach love. You know what I mean, and I don't really preach, I just I believe in it. You know, I feel like we should all build each other up at the end of the day, and I genuinely want the world to be a better place. But at a point in my life I could give two shits about that. I was more concerned about myself and my feelings in that moment, you know, versus somebody else. You know what I mean, and there's plenty of mistakes that I've made. 

16:18
You know, some of those were good mistakes, you know, but then there's some that were just terrible. But I've learned to be vulnerable and here on the podcast, here on my podcast, it's like I'm a glass window. I mean I could care less because at the end of the day, I know truly who I am as a person now, at 33 years old. It took a long time. 

16:39
I mean it didn't take. You know, I'm not gonna sit here and say when I become 21, I was, you know, just no, I'm talking within the past year and a half to two years, and it could have been the fact that when Layton was born, but that is when I was like you know what it is, what it is, I know who I am now and I know who I'm gonna be going forward, so there's no need to be stressing about it. You know what I mean Like and the people I'm surrounded with mostly important know who I am now and who I am going forward and who I was. So not only do they see who I am now and going forward, they knew what I was and they saw that transition moment, you know, which is huge. So I think maybe around two years ago, when Layton was born is when I became super open about stuff and very vulnerable and, at the end of the day, you know, I got a huge story to tell you know, and that's just growth as a human being. 

17:35
You know what I mean. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
17:37
Yeah, you nailed it. You know the word of the week almost was mistakes, and I think all this can play into it. 

17:43
I think that we don't want to be vulnerable because of mistakes that we've made, and I think that it's important to accept your past, and the only way to get past it is to understand that you are now not the person you were and that the only way you learned was through mistakes. And if I look at my life, all it is is learning from mistakes, which means I've made mistakes constantly, I mean we're human. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
18:05
We're not AI. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
18:07
It's insane how you hold yourself to the standard and your head to be this thing, because I guess society is like If you put any of that out there, they immediately tear you down. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
18:16
They want to tear you down. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
18:17
Some people do not everyone, but the most vocal ones do. And yeah, man, it, I mean it's, it's, it's heavy, yeah, heavy stuff and it's not easy. It's certainly not easy and I'm talking about me at 33 just now, kind of figuring this out, and I can look at a lot of people around me who I I could see them very benefit, benefiting heavily from being more vulnerable. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
18:39
Um, what would you say? The first steps would be to become vulnerable first steps to becoming vulnerable. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
18:46
I think I think what I was saying earlier that you, the one person in your life that you trust the most, yeah, whether that be a significant other brother, sister, mom, dad, exactly and opening up about something that, something that you were. You could be ashamed of it, or you? It doesn't have to be a big deal to start yeah to start. You just tell them, just show them that you're human, show them that who you really are, and You'll be probably surprised how people love when you are willing to share with them. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
19:14
Yeah. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
19:15
I had a buddy recently come over and was vulnerable with me and it it made me feel honored. Right, yeah, I was willing to be vulnerable, and you should be a person who other people feel okay to be vulnerable around. Yeah, that's a huge thing too. It's not just about you being vulnerable, it's about other people other people being comfortable with you. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
19:30
Yeah, and for them to even, like you said, come, come to you for that person. I mean that's huge. I mean that is like that should make you feel great. You know what I mean as being that person, being that friend, that this person could come to, and you're probably thinking who the hell am I? 

Jordan Hunter
Host
19:44
Yeah, I'm Jordan Wayne Hunter. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
19:46
Yeah, the guy with three names. You know it's like three, three first names. You know like who am I? And I Feel that too, in certain ways. You know, with some of one of my good friends, come over and it's like who am I? You know I Sitting here in this guy's pouring his soul and it's like I'm understanding. Yeah, I made so many mistakes. Why's this guy talking to me? Yeah, you know what I mean. 

20:09
But at the end of the day, it's like again, that person sees your growth and knows who you are now. He did this person know you back then? I don't know, maybe he did, and he saw who you were. He saw who you are now, who you're becoming, because we're constantly growing as humans. You know what I mean. We're never at our, we're not here. You know, as long as we do self-educate, yeah, and as long as you're moving in that right direction, people see that transition and there's so many people who are like, holy shit, I want to be like this guy. I want to, I want to Change, I want to do better. And, dude, it makes you feel, it gives me goosebumps. Thinking about it makes you feel great the more people who do it. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
20:49
Yeah, more everyone feels as possible, the more we can all get there. Yeah, and it does. It takes a lot a seat of I'm using too many words up. I feel like this week a seat of just bravery to be able to put yourself out there that there aren't many. There is way less people doing that than you think, and you'd be surprised how much People respect you when you start doing stuff like that. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
21:13
Yeah, you'll see growth within the first five minutes. You'll. You'll feel growth after that first conversation because I'm telling you it's gonna be a huge white lifted off your chest. But if you were anything like me and you start, you better tell that person to buckle. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
21:31
And if you don't have someone talk to therapists. Yeah that's my best advice. And all those things work. And a therapist is someone who is paid to not be judgmental towards you. I've seen a therapist before. So, seriously, no judgments here at all and we are not there. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
21:46
And we're not there, nor do we get paid to be therapist, but if you do have questions or Advice that you would want you know us to give. We're here for you and we have it email now.

Daniel Lawson

Jordan Hunter

23:43
We name this segment, what we name it. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
23:46
I feel like it's like some questions from our. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
23:50
Listeners. Yeah, yeah, well, calm fans. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
23:52
They're probably not fans. Yeah, we'll come up with something catchy that you know on the next episode. We'll probably know, because we could probably sit here for 20 minutes and still not come up with something. That's usually how it goes, but yeah, so we have a question and they would like to be help with this how do you move beyond fear and chasing your dreams, which falls perfectly in today's and it was I didn't hear that before I came with the word of the week. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
24:23
So when you said that earlier, I was like what that's perfect. You, I think your fears might be something a little too much in your head and more vulnerable you are. You might be surprised that those weaknesses aren't as weak as you think and that a lot of people experience similar things. And I think if you can get past some of those fears you have by being vulnerable and showing other people what your fears are and they can relate to it, and then you don't feel weird that you're the only person who's having this crazy fear, I think that's when you start blossoming and you start leaning into your strengths more and then those weaknesses Just don't. They don't affect your mood, they don't affect your motivation, they don't affect all these things that are really holding you back from success is just the ability to get up and do the things that you need to do to get to where you want, right. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
25:10
Yes, I think, moving beyond fear, you should put your purse down. Put your what down? Put your purse down. Oh no, I'm just kidding. He was all serious and I was trying to throw in a joke, you know. But yeah, just understanding your In-goal, you know what I mean. Stuff's gonna be scary along the way, but understand where you want to go with Whatever dream you're chasing, and just understand that it's gonna be tough. I mean, it could be easy, maybe it could be extremely great at it. But learn stuff as you go, don't worry about the fear. Just, you know, be a beast, you know. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
25:50
Doesn't have to be perfect. I don't we keep saying this doesn't have to be perfect. There's some, some decisions Are worthy of you spending a lot of time on. Some decisions You're spending too much time on. Yeah, that some things, not everything matters. Not everyone who's watching your stuff is picking out every little detail that you are, because you're creating it. You know what's the main overarching thing that you're wanting to do. Keep your eye on that prize. Don't allow all these little decisions to become overwhelming and keep working to that main prize. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
26:20
Regardless, you're gonna have the naysayers in, whatever you do. Yeah and it's gonna be more than one person. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
26:26

Daniel Lawson
