S2 E42 | Ride with Alissa Hale: From Alabama to Florida, Alissa Hale’s Country Music Journey

Meet Alissa Hale, a rising country star who’s redefining what it means to be a modern artist. Born and raised in Alabama with a 12-year background in gymnastics and ballet, Alissa’s path to music came through an unexpected intersection of talent, determination, and a mother who believed in her enough to talk her up to a music producer.

During this candid conversation, Alissa gives listeners an exclusive world premiere of her upcoming single “Ride” – a bold, wild anthem for Southern girls who aren’t afraid to embrace their freedom and make no apologies for it. The track, releasing June 20th, perfectly captures her authentic country roots while bringing a fresh energy to the genre.

What makes Alissa truly unique is her innovative approach to building her brand. She’s created “Dirty Blonde,” a groundbreaking zombie video game that integrates her music into gameplay – something never before seen in country music. Players blast “deadheads” while experiencing her songs in an immersive environment, creating an entirely new way for fans to connect with her work. This creativity extends to her entrepreneurial ventures, including a hot sauce line featuring her signature blend and an upcoming ghost pepper version aptly named “Hot as Hell.”

S2 E41 | Hard Money, Hard Lessons with Caleb Delgado

What happens when life knocks you down not once, but twice—and you find the strength to build something even better than before?

Caleb’s journey from Queens-born soccer player to mortgage mogul to nearly bankrupt and back again is a masterclass in resilience and entrepreneurial spirit. Growing up in Long Island with immigrant parents, he learned early lessons contrasting wealth and struggle that would prove invaluable later in life.

His soccer skills earned him a D1 college spot playing center midfield, but family financial troubles forced him to leave school and enter the mortgage industry at just 20. The timing couldn’t have been more dramatic—the early 2000s “Boiler Room” era of mortgage lending. Within months, Caleb was making hundreds of thousands, driving luxury cars, dropping $10,000 on dinner tabs, and living what seemed like the dream. Until 2008 hit.

S2 E17 | Bone the Mack's Entertaining Journey: From Spirited Messi vs. Ronaldo Debates and Tiger Woods' Golf Dominance to NFL Playoff Predictions, Music Projects, and Anti-Scam Initiatives

Bone The Mack Brings the Heat – Sports, Music, and Making a Difference

Welcome back to Happy Hour Holidaze! In this action-packed episode, Sean and Manny are joined by Bone The Mack, an artist and entrepreneur whose infectious energy takes the conversation to another level. From fiery debates about the greatest footballer in history to heartfelt discussions about creating a non-profit, this episode is a perfect cocktail of humor, insight, and inspiration.

Messi vs. Ronaldo: Who’s the G.O.A.T.?

The episode kicks off with a bang as Sean delivers a scorching hot take: Lionel Messi did not “win” the World Cup. Instead, he attributes Argentina’s victory to Ángel Di María and a healthy dose of penalty luck. Sean goes all-in on his belief that Cristiano Ronaldo is the best footballer of all time, citing Ronaldo’s stellar career across Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus.

Bone The Mack is quick to challenge this view, arguing that Messi has always played his part and that great players thrive within great teams. Their playful banter escalates as they reminisce about other football legends like Pele, Ronaldinho, and David Beckham—who makes Sean’s top five list, partially for marrying Posh Spice. It’s a hilarious and spirited debate that soccer fans won’t want to miss.

Golf’s Greatest: Tiger Woods and Beyond

The discussion shifts from the football pitch to the golf course, where Sean declares Tiger Woods the undisputed greatest golfer of all time. The hosts delve into Tiger’s iconic career and the intense rivalries in the world of professional golf. Sean praises Tiger’s “killer instinct,” which, according to him, no other golfer can match.

Bone shares his thoughts on the growing competition between LIV Golf and the PGA, suggesting that a crossover tournament could be one of the most exciting developments in golf history. Their passion for the sport is evident, and the conversation is peppered with lighthearted jabs at players like Rory McIlroy and glowing praise for others like Scottie Scheffler.

NFL Playoff Predictions: Let the Debates Begin

No episode of Happy Hour Holidaze is complete without some bold NFL predictions. Sean and Bone speculate about potential playoff matchups, with teams like the Chiefs, Eagles, Packers, and Ravens dominating their predictions. Sean doubts the Lions’ ability to make it past the second round, while Bone argues that Joe Burrow’s leadership has transformed the Bengals into perennial contenders.

The NFL talk naturally leads to a discussion about sports betting, with Bone sharing his strategies for finding underdog teams that can deliver big payouts. Sean chimes in with his philosophy on playing with “house money,” emphasizing the importance of managing risk in the unpredictable world of gambling.

Bone The Mack’s Music and Mission

While sports dominate much of the episode, Bone takes a moment to share exciting updates about his music projects. His upcoming release, The Smitty Is Mine, is set to drop on Black Friday, and fans can also look forward to Surviving Andre Part Two. Bone’s passion for storytelling through music shines as he describes his creative process and the themes behind his work.

But Bone isn’t just about beats and lyrics—he’s also making moves to launch a non-profit organization aimed at combating scams. Inspired by personal experiences and a desire to help others, Bone discusses his vision for the non-profit and the importance of educating people about fraud prevention. It’s a refreshing and inspiring look at how artists can use their platform for good.

A Podcast That Breaks the Mold

Known for interviews that focus solely on his music career, he appreciates the opportunity to talk about sports, betting, and his broader passions.
