From Stage to Canvas: Doug Orleski's Journey of Transformation
It really is weird to think about. I got to this great edit that The New Jersey premiere of Avenue Q. That's cool, which was so cool, and I got to play Brian, so I didn't even have to have a puppet or anything all that stress.
Remember those friends you lost touch with over the years? Well, Jay Casale reconnects with an old friend, Doug Orleski, in this heartwarming episode of 'The Lighter Side'. Fifteen years ago, Jay and Doug were singing and dancing for a living. Fast forward to today, Doug has not only shed 55 pounds but also transformed into a successful graphic designer and the creative mind behind RVA Coffee Stain.
His art, often inspired by food, brings a touch of humor and charm to the everyday. Jay and Doug's conversation dives into Doug's lifestyle changes, the quirks of parenting, and even those bizarre YouTube videos where kids unbox toys. Through their candid chat, they explore how creativity and humor can be powerful tools for dealing with life's ups and downs. If you're in need of a bit of inspiration or just a good laugh, this episode is a must-listen.
