85: Sexy Vegetables
My wife and I have made a commitment to two things this year: Swedish Death Cleaning and eating 5 servings of fruits and vegetables every meal. It seems a bit excessive but I’m giving it a try. Did you know old guys used to slather avocado on their genitals? And the Christian church spread a rumor that tomatoes were poisonous? Who knew vegetables had such colorful pasts? Hey, speaking of pasts, what was you favorite diner, drive-in or dive when you were growing up? I remember mine. Let me know yours so I can tell everyone. Thanks for hanging out this week, friends. See you soon!
84: Not Dead
Back from holiday vacation! How is everyone? 2024 is okay so far. A few pains here and there but what do you expect with an old guy? So far this year I’m encountering pig dogs, “Diff’rent Strokes” conspiracies, fish and chips at Irish pubs and getting stabbed on New Year. Also, I have proof that we don’t really die. Anything else? ‘K, good. Here’s to a good podcast year!
83: Old Acquaintances All Forgotten
It’s the last show of the year and I put a lid on Christmas, prepare for the coming apocalypse and wonder if I have any more packages coming my way. Thanks to everyone who spent a little time listening to the podcast. Let’s hope next year the show will get good enough where you can not be embarrassed to tell other people you listen. Just don’t tell your mom. She’ll hate it.
82: Wise Otters Bearing Gifts
It’s less that a week before Christmas. Are you surviving? I’m doing pretty good. I’m trying to figure out how to get a ton of gifts into a tiny stocking. Any ideas? I’m having a few difficulties with shipping companies and gifts, too. I’m not sure it’s supposed to be this bad. Speaking of bad, have you ever had vegetarian tuna? Don’t. Just don’t. Did you know the story of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer was actually a sad one? Not for Rudolph but for the writer? Let me tell you about it… See you soon, my friends.
81: Hay, It’s Christmas!
This week I revisit an old discussion on the best Christmas tartans. Always good for discussion at holiday time. Additionally, I discuss girl apartment smells, nostalgic Christmases and making a difference in small ways. Things that seem worthy of attention at this festive season. Thanks for checking out the show. Reach out and say “hi” some time.
80: Nog For Your Noggin’
Hi friends! Speaking of friends, how are yours? Friends, I mean. Do you have any who are difficult to deal with? Is it time to consider cutting them loose? Sometimes it’s worth evaluating. I’m enjoying a bit of eggnog so I decided to do an eggnog show. History of the nog, making the nog and spiking the nog. Now go have a cup of that sweet, fatty elixir. Weird, that was my old college nickname. See you Thursday.
79: A Chat With Mike Faber
Today I sit down for a little chat with our good friend Mike Faber of the ESO Network. We discuss podcasting, live concerts, The Monkees and much more. A really fun chat! Give it a listen.
78: Namaste Is As Namaste Does
Welcome to a new week, friends! I checked out the film “Killers Of The Flower Moon” this week. Give it a look if you like disgusting characters who make everyone’s life hell. Kind of like me with this podcast. I was thinking about significant moments in my life like when I became a man and when I was (basically) told I couldn’t sing. No one else knew how significant those moments were but I still knew. Also, I have to face the fact that I suck at the basics of spirituality. Maybe I should just give it up. I dunno. I’ll probably keep trying. Interview show with Mike Faber coming up Thursday. It’s a good one. Don’t forget about it. See you then.
77: Digesting
The day after Thanksgiving and I’m still dealing with my gluttonous holiday activities, how about you? Not as bad as previous years but, crap, I still got work to do. This year for the holidays we get a feud between Hall and Oates, which of course we were all looking forward to. So, how about we just get into a discussion of weird religions? Why not? It’s something that can bring us all together this festive season. Hey, gang, hit me up if you need stickers. Hit me up if you need a chat. Just hit me up. See you next week.
76: Death Angels We Have Heard on High
‘Twas the Tuesday before Thanksgiving… Got your dinners all planned out? I asked you what your favorite non-traditional Thanksgiving meal is and I got several interesting responses. Me? I’ll stick with the traditional tofu molded into a turkey. I was reading a bit about sea angels last week and thought I’d share a little about these freaky mollusks. Maybe you’ll want to put one on top your tree this year! Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate! I’ll talk with you on Friday.
