Jimmy Deveney - weird old man soul

Jimmy Deveney (crashes the Badass Cult Podcast (it’s a podcast, not a cult!) for a wild ride of spider trauma, animal documentaries, Buddhist wisdom and his own brand of 'High Desert Soul.' The crew swaps stories about ADHD, meditation struggles, and the day Jimmy became the owner of a custom puppet complete with a green jacket and suspiciously real teeth. There’s talk of famous guitars, puppet graveyards, and whether it’s more important to write for the crowd or your closet. Don’t miss hot insider tips: if you hear a Cougar horn at the State Fair, it’s probably Jimmy. Plus, kids ask the best questions (like Metallica vs. Megadeth), and now we all need to watch Return to Oz and bring our weirdest dinosaur facts. In the end, it’s all about not stopping—unless you see shiny things. https://linktr.ee/Jimmy.deveney?utm_source=linktree_profile_share
