Salutations™!!20190710_200903-01

Tonight, Bethany and I did an impromptu “roundtable” session on TLD because our scheduled guest wasn’t feeling very well and Danielle went to an event. Bethany took a b*tch test to see how much of a byotch she is. Turns out it was xx% (listen to hear how much) and we sat around drinking Wild Basin Black Raspberry Boozy Sparkling Water from Oskar Blues.

We had a fun time. You can listen to it, HERE.

My cheesy retro movie this week is The Howling from 1981, starring Dee Wallace, Patrick McNee and Christopher Stone.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!

Salutations™!!

After a long weekend with The BCPF, I had to get back to the grind today, as did she. Yeah, we’re gross, I get it. We just enjoy each other, what can we say?

Ray and I took the show on the road today, the first time The Man Who Ate the Town Podcast has done a remote podcast. And, what better place for us to do that than Yamas Mediterranean Street Food? We had a great time at Yamas talking with Jason and Mia.

Then, The Beer Dads had a recording tonight, although the episode that dropped this evening isn’t that one. This one talks about our recent Carolina Cobras game. Well, theirs, actually, I was working the game, running my mouth. But, it’s a great conversation.

Listen to the delicious episode of TMWATT HERE.

Listen to the hard-hitting episode of TBD HERE.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out~

We did The Man Who Ate the Town today and talked a lot about Shalom Project and Hutch & Harris’ closing as well as a fantasy scenario about how I’d like downtown to reshape itself. logo+level+trees+(1)

On The Beer Dads, we talk about inconsiderate folks who don’t empty their voicemails and other annoyances.

I’m going to piggyback a little different today. Yes, I’m going to talk about all five podcasts’ episodes on the TLD Network this week.

So, make sure you read that post. You can do that HERE.

Now, we did all five of the TLD Network shows today. You can listen to them:

Salutations™!!TLDNetwork050119

The TLD Network was on full throttle this week. All five shows released episodes this week and I had a full week. In fact, today, I was in the studio from 850a-915p and got out of my chair thrice before 820p. I’m worn out. But, it was a good day. A long day but a good one.

Anywhat, here are the links to all the shows this week:

The Man Who Ate the Town
The Beer Dads
Apartment 5B
Fan Interference
The Less Desirables

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Salutations™!!

I got a good deal of feedback from the conversation I posted on here yesterday, either on my page or those of Salem, who were really supportive of Graylen and, I suppose, me. cobras-logo

We didn’t have a guest on The Less Desirables tonight. That was mostly by design. We haven’t had a chance to really catch up with our lives, so Danielle, Bethany and I had a good “roundtable” discussion.

One thing we did talk about the Carolina Cobras this weekend, where, again, I am the “voice” of the team. Tomorrow morning I will release some social media that will act as a contest where I will give away two sets of two tickets to this Saturday’s game. I do hope you’ll enter the contest. You’ll have to listen to the show to win, though. You’ll have to answer a question about it. You can listen HERE.

Until then, same blog channel…

After a long weekend, I had a very full day at work today. To let you know the process, I prepare the talking points for The Man Who Ate the Town on Monday mornings. That can take a while or not. Usually yes.

Then I had a session with Kerri Sigler and the Phoenix Rising “Rule One Podcast.” Then we recorded TMWATT with a special guest, Chef Richard Miller. Then before we were completely done, Hailey Brooke and TC came from Fan Interference as we did a Skype interview with a current NFL player (you’ll hear that on Wednesday). Then we recorded a Skype interview on The Beer Dads (you’ll hear that next two Mondays).

So, there was a lot of podcast happening today. I’m tired, but I love days like this, as I’ve said. You can listen to what was going on (mostly) here:

The Man Who Ate the Town
The Beer Dads
Rule One Podcast

Until tomorrow, keep listening…

I promise that I am not going to keep rambling about this. But, I think I’m allowed to still be proud of my boy. He started work today and there were some hiccups that were all on him and had nothing to do with the job. He was there on time, he did what he was told.

Chef Niki said he was humble, attentive, and enthusiastic.

He even washed dishes. We asked how she got him to do that. Her response: “I told him to wash dishes.”

So, the first night was a success. He said he was a little tired. But, okay, I’ve given you all that you can probably handle.

Yesterday we recorded The Man Who Ate the Town, The Beer Dads and today we recorded Apartment 5B. You can listen to the latest episodes here:

Salutations™!!

Tonight on The Less Desirables, we played a tune from local guys, Suitcase. They are a1051221211_16releasing five songs in serial to make a collection called Don’t Shoot It’s Me. I have always loved these guys and I was excited that they released new music. I really dig Joe, Don and Travis. The first tune released is called “Matter of Time.”

You can hear the song on the podcast, which I certainly hope that you do but you can also hear it on their Bandcamp page. Ordinarily, I wouldn’t send you away from the podcast, but I really want this song heard. You can hear the song HERE and of course, you can hear the podcast HERE.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Salutations™!!

I didn’t talk about Apartment 5B last night, even though we had recorded it yesterday. I apologize to Jeff, Rory and you, Dear Reader for keeping that from you. Today, on Fan Interference, Ty and Hailey Brooke interviewed former WFU and current Carolina Panthers LB, Brandon Chubb about his college and pro careers and the Chubb Foundation. cobras-logo

Then on The Less Desirables, we had Nike Roach in the studio to talk about his Facebook Live series and our usual cut-uppery. I just made that word up.

But, you will remember that a month or so ago I mentioned something about a “big announcement” that I was going to make when the time was right? Well, the time is now. But, I’m not going to tell you right now. That’s the rub. To find out right now, you have to go listen to this week’s episode of The Less Desirables. You can do that HERE. I will warn you, the announcement is at the end of the show, I ask that you listen to the whole episode as I think the conversation with Nike (pronounced Nee-Kay) is good, and the song of the week is cool, too. So, yeah, I’d appreciate if you listened through.
