It's funny how Ben and I met. I reached out to get him to help with a video for Three Square food bank. He was very eager to help out. We spoke to each other for months over social media but I did see him perform on the Terry Fator show on the Las Vegas Strip. He is amazing at what he does. I asked him to be on the podcast and he invited me to his home. It was almost like we had been friends for years although we were just meeting face to face for the first time. I am excited about this interview. Well, here he is; it's Ben Harris!
I met Cheaza many moons ago. At the time she was the main singer in Peep Show at Planet Hollywood and she was killing it nightly on that show. When the producers of The Will Edwards Show saw Cheaza in action, we had to have her on the show. From that point forward we have been friends. She is a very talented young lady and she just keeps getting better and better. I'm proud to call her friend. I give you the one and only Cheaza Figueroa.
Alyx and I met at Three Square Food Bank. She is the Senior Hunger Programs Manager and is very good at what she does. I would have to say that she is one of the most optimistic people I've ever met.

Ladies and Gentlemen, it's Alyx Peterson
I met John... I met John... Okay, I can't remember when I met John or where. I do remember that he told me at the time we met that he would open a high-end audio shop and he did just that. I have to say that I like people who do what they say and this is probably why we are friends today. So, from his shop in Downtown Las Vegas, I give you John T Marshall.
I met Penny through a mutual friend, Mark Johnson. At that time she was working on The Amazing Jonathan Show. She is funny, quirky and just full of life. Penny is the type of person who just loves everyone she makes a connection with. We've worked on many projects together. I give you the very talented Penny Wiggins.

Amanda works at Three Square Food Bank. I know her because she was my boss for a year. We shared the same office for almost a year and we worked well together to build up a department within that year. I am honored to call her friend. We talk and talk and talk when we take the time to kick back and this podcast is no different. I give you Amanda Jerzak.
I met Ronald many years ago. He was working for Stitched and become the stylist for The Will Edwards Show for a season. I learned so much from him. He was so impressive I had to have him as my style mentor. It's always a good time meeting up and grabbing a drink with him. I give you, Ronald Smith.
Ashanti Lewis recently joined the Three Square family and it is where I met her. She spends a great deal of her time in Carson City lobbying for bills that will aid in the fight against hunger.

I met James Wade through my wife, they work for the same company. He invited us to a listening party for one of his albums. I was impressed by his talent, his determination, his drive to do what he loves. It took us three tries to get this podcast interview done. I guess the third time was the charm. We talked about a lot of stuff; his music, being black in this country and what you have to do to survive and his time here in Las Vegas. I give you, James Wade.
I booked Steven to headline the Anniversary Show for WE Funny Comedy Show in January 2017. He came on and just killed it. From that moment on, I just wanted to work with him any chance that I could.

This is the Season 2 Finale of Let's Grab a Drink with Will Edwards and I could not think of a more suitable guest. I give, Steven Briggs.
Sam stole me from Lynn. It's true. Our friend Lynn introduced us over Facebook and said we should get together.

When we get together for a catch-up session, we catch-up about everything. Ladies and gentlemen, the Queen of Rock and Roll Dogs, Sam Ratcliffe!

We encourage each other all the time. He is an old school MC, songwriter, dad, son and friend. I give you Ulysses Diaz.
I met Tab through my comedy show; WE Funny. She was always great about being on the show and was always hilarious. One thing led to another and I ended up being invited to be a guest on her podcast. Had a blast! When I left that podcast, we had her on WE Funny a few more times but it was always in the back on head that this lady must have a great story to tell. After chatting with her I realized that her store is amazing. I hope you enjoy it.
I met James about a year ago at work. You ever meet someone and know immediately that you are going to be friends? Well for me, that's what happened when I met him. He is just good people. He's a busy man raising two boys with his wife. In his retirement from the police force, he finds himself in a new position fighting against hunger in Southern Nevada. I give you James Goddard.
Rhayne and I became fast friends many moons ago. If she calls me and says, "I need you to help on a cancer survivor event"; I am always there for her. As she is for me.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Rhayne Thomas!
Jason and I become friends a few years back. I was hosting an open mic in Las Vegas and he was doing comedy. I started a show called WE Funny Comedy Show. I asked Jason if he would be interested in helping me book the show, well about three years and we are still doing it. By far, one of the nicest human beings I know. I invited Jason to my place because the first bar we were going to record it was packed. Jason is a true professional and it was an honor chatting with him. We talked about stand up comedy, marriage, running and Las Vegas. Enjoy!
