Anything and everything is off the table just like it was for me and my friends back in the day while growing up on the 2400 block of the neighborhood in lovely Norfolk, Virginia.

0421 Mental Issues & Addictions ft. Jonathan Niziol

In this first episode of 2024, we have Jonathan Niziol as our featured guest. Despite a tremendous résumé of work ranging from international modeling TO real estate TO athletics, he is human like all of us going through the joys and pains in life. Jonathan has had his share of personal struggles as he tells Jonnyroobs his life story mired by tragedy and later dealing with other issues such as addiction, body dysmorphia, depression, and trauma. Through it all, he overcame and won. He is willing to be that beacon of hope for those in need of help.

Although the video quality was shown flawlessly on the final product seen here, both of our screens were frozen while we were live-recording on the Riverside FM platform. We were unable to reach each other for almost a minute, so we kept on talking indirectly (in which I can't hear him and he can't hear me) as a means to avoid any silence.)

My sincerest apologies to the beats maker himself MALINISOUNDZ for the typographical error in his name during the last couple of video podcast episodes. I’ve been calling him “MALINISBEATZ” for the most part. I appreciated him for telling me. This typo will be corrected starting on the next video podcast episode.

0415 Pilot Episode (Roobs Got This!)

For the last 3 seasons, the Twenty400 Block Podcast relied on the audio-based format as a means to add content to its episodes. This season however is a game changer, as videos are now included in its slate of programming. But, Jonnyroobs would like for the Twenty400 Block Podcast to go back to the basics utilizing the heart and soul, as well as the rawness of the audio podcasts. So, he decided to come up with this pilot episode for a rebranded/ retitled audio-based feature called "Roobs Got This!" Here, he talks about feeling enthusiastic about returning to audio podcasts after a health setback scare, reading mailed birthday cards, and ranting about the latest things happening around him. He recorded this particular bit in the home studio and plans to take this show on the road using portable podcast equipment for future episodes to come #podcast #twenty400blockpodcast #audiopodcast #podcastlife #podcastlifestyle #audio #rant #birthday

Jon Stewart is one of the pioneers and icons that paved the way for pro wrestling although he proclaims that he is unknown to many in the public eye.
