One Guys Opinion

    Being a potentially new additive to an already established formula is like adding cherry to Coke-a-Cola or Matt Skiba to Blink-182, exciting but also risky. Seeing the direction that the boys have taken the show in and being invited to toss in my 2 cents fills me with pride. That pride comes from knowing that this is a risk for Positive C, DWB, and Violator and yet they were welcoming enough to give it a shot.

    With that being said I want to take a moment to address what Zaboys is and the potential I see in it. I am sure that to the untrained ear it is just another Podcast or even worse, noise. I can state that without a doubt that it is more than both, and anyone who believes it to be either has not taken the time to sit and truly listen to the show. Zaboys is not just sound coming through the speaker to break the silence in your waiting room or at your office desk, it is not the run of the mill Podcast that focuses on one or two direct topics, and it is far from being your typical talk radio show.

    Zaboys is an example of what good people can accomplish when they come together with similar ideas. Zaboys is what happens when a group of said good people want to do more than entertain themselves, but instead want to entertain others, and not just entertain others, but help light the path for others growth and future in the world. The boys don’t have to promote local music or discuss sports, news, and entertainment; they do it because they admire those bands and relate to those topics. They are a symbol of what millennials can accomplish when they truly follow their dreams and a beacon for those who are trying to do the same. This is why I listen to Zaboys, it is why I have wanted to work with Zaboys, and it is why I constantly tell people to check out Zaboys.

    We live in a world that is constantly sending you mixed messages: pop culture tells you to pursue your dreams but never explains how, the power figures say they want to help but never change, and your elders explain that you have to fall in line and succumb to the standard way of living in order to survive. Zaboys puts out positive vibes and entertaining sounds, the same sounds that your best friend or lover would, the uplifting and supportive sounds we should all surround ourselves with so that we aim to swing for the fences, break through the barriers, and try to change our stars.

    Zaboys is an icon, and one with the potential to grow into more than your local radio show, one to be more than what it currently is. It has the potential to make us laugh, the potential to make us learn, and even the potential to make us grow. I believe that Zaboys has the potential to be more than what was ever considered and with the coming years it will become more than it ever was.
