guest this go around is Jayse OBrein.This fella is a man of many talents: he\u2019s a voice over artist, an over the top foodie, an actor, reactor, and costco dad.\u00a0 What strikes me the most about Jayse is his insanely high energy, his obvious zest for life, and the way he wants to bring everyone along with him.\u00a0 There\u2019s some definite parallels between the two of us, and I\u2019m not just talking about our love for 90s pop culture, though I feel this might be the most important one.\u00a0 At any rate, I hope you enjoy this fast paced conversation with Jayse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p
