Finally, Tim tees up a timely topic based on the posture of your heart, which both Matt and Tim find very relevant.
On episode one hundred and forty one of Holy Ghost Notes, Matt and Tim have way more energy than normal and channel that energy into a productive rant about how you can’t take advice from just anyone.

Yule tide greetings! On episode one hundred and thirty nine of Holy Ghost Notes, Matt and Tim have their friend, Adam Gray on the podcast to cap off the year yet again. The trio talk about big noses, deviated septa, and SlipKnot’s new drummer. Adam opens up about the passing of his wife, Teagan and the struggles that have come alongside that loss. Though they share many a laugh, this episode is not your typical Christmas episode. It’s real conversation about real life, and it’s not necessarily wrapped up nicely with a bow.
