Nobody particularly enjoys talking about death, but at this stage of life, it’s a conversation worth having. So I hopped on the XMAX and took a ride to a local cemetery to talk about something that really isn’t about dying at all. It’s about taking care of the people we love.

If something happened to you tonight, would your spouse or children know what to do tomorrow? Would they know wher...

On a beautiful day, sitting beside Lake Balboa makes it easy to see why so many people fall in love with Hot Springs Village, Arkansas.

For our September 2026 real estate update, Rick Marshall and I found ourselves in a particularly beautiful setting: the backyard of a lakefront property currently for sale on Lake Balboa.

With a private dock, covered boat slips, a beautifully maintained lawn, and a wonderful view across the water, ...

I’ve received several requests lately from viewers who want to see some of the older neighborhoods inside Hot Springs Village. I’m not exactly sure what’s driving the curiosity. Maybe you’re wondering about home prices. Maybe you’re curious how well the older areas have aged. Or perhaps you’re considering moving to HSV and simply want to see more than newer homes and neighborhoods.

Whatever the r...

This morning, we will ride the XMAX from the Balboa Gate on Ponce De Leon Drive. Then we will head east on Highway 5 toward the East Gate. The East Gate is one of Hot Springs Village’s main gates. As a first-time visitor, you’ll arrive through either the East Gate or the West Gate. You can exit the Village through any of the gates, including the 4 “members only” gates. Entry via those four gates requires mem...

Somebody is discovering Hot Springs Village for the very first time today. That’s something I have to remind myself of whenever I wonder if we’ve already talked about a particular subject or shown you a certain part of the Village. Maybe we have—but you may not have been here yet! I think about bands that have been performing for decades. They’ve played their biggest hits thousands of times, but when people ...

Sometimes the best rides don’t need much of a plan. A couple from Mississippi came to Hot Springs Village and asked to meet. I hopped on the XMAX and rode to Reunion Resort Villas just in case I could catch them outside. Along the way, I took you down the entire length of Maderas Drive, probably my favorite boulevard in all of Hot Springs Village. Whether or not I happened to find our visitors, it was a good excuse for anothe...

Sometimes the best rides — and conversations — happen when there really isn’t much of an agenda. But, I do have some things on my mind thanks to the questions YOU ask. Your input informs the episodes I produce. Including this one!

I climbed aboard the XMAX and headed out for a ride around Hot Springs Village. The weather was beautiful, the roads were inviting, and I had a few things on my mind to share with you.

Have you ever dreamed about retiring somewhere near the water? Maybe you’d love a lake view, a boat nearby, or simply the feeling that comes from living in a beautiful lake community.

If that’s part of your retirement dream, Hot Springs Village deserves a serious look.

Yesterday morning I hopped on the XMAX and took another ride through some of the neighborhoods around Lake Balboa. I wanted to do a follow-up addition to...

I've been thinking about retirement and how we often talk about it as though the goal is simply to get away from something. We retire from the job, the commute, the meetings, the deadlines, the stress—all the stuff we've spent decades dealing with. But I'm convinced there's a better question to ask: What are you retiring TO? Because sooner or later, the newness of not having to go to work wears off. Then what? I think we all ...

There are certain mornings when you can just feel the season beginning to change — and this was one of them. I headed out early on the Yamaha XMAX for another ride through Hot Springs Village, and the temperature was a crisp 66 degrees. After months of warm Arkansas mornings, I made the mistake of thinking 66 wouldn’t feel all that chilly. So I left the jacket at home. That was a mistake. Once the scooter was moving...

I spend a lot of time talking about Hot Springs Village, Arkansas - what it’s like to live here, the golf courses, lakes, neighborhoods, amenities, cost of living, retirement lifestyle, and all the little things you discover only by spending time inside the Village. But that doesn’t mean I’m qualified to answer every question about living in Hot Springs Village. Not even close. Take dating in retirement. I’v...

When I recorded this I was not thinking of what happened 25 years ago, 9/11. But it seems fitting in the face of the largest act of terrorism against our country. The whole point of terrorism is in the name - to create fear, terror! Doing hard things is always more difficult when the risks are great. So it was on 9/11 when 2,977 victims died and 343 NYC firefighters, 27 NYC police officers and 37 NYC Port Authority personnel sacri...

What did you do over Labor Day weekend? Rhonda and I took a brief trip about 90 minutes north of Hot Springs Village.

Just another compelling reason to consider Hot Springs Village. Inside, it's great. Outside is, too!   • Join Our Free Email...

    DISGRACELAND

    DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com. To unlock ad-free listening, exclusive content, and connect with your fellow Disgos, go to www.disgracelandpod.com to become an All Access member. Rocka Rolla.
