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…
Scorp out!

Salutations™!!

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…

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.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

It’s late again, but still the day it’s written for. That’s a plus, right?1

So, yesterday we recorded The Man Who Ate the Town and we had a The Beer Dads podcast in the can. So, in my frenzy of a day yesterday, as I said in my post last night, I forgot to load them on their respective servers. I did that today and published all the posts about them.

Until tomorrow, and hopefully on time with a more substantial post…

Salutations™!!

Yesterday I told you of a new podcast that I picked up. That will start production in late April and we will know more about the release once we’ve started that process. And, there will be more to come about that.

My new hippie bracelet from Carly and VibesUp Winston-Salem

This morning, I got my new VibesUp bracelet from my friend Carly Sink who owns VibesUp Winston-Salem over off of Reynolda Road. I have had my other bracelet from her for over a year and never went a day without it. After a while, sweat starts building up and the thing doesn’t smell all minty-fresh like it used to.

The bracelets have crushed crystals, each designed to help certain aspects of your life. To keep you vibing because according to the website, high and low vibrations can’t coexist. So, this keeps your vibes elevated, hence… “up.” Yeah, I know this is some hippie-dippie, new age stuff. I am also not saying I necessarily believe in it. But, I’m also not saying I don’t.

Each bracelet is focused on certain attributes the one I had before said “I Am Balance” which means the crystals were a cocktail specifically for balance. I felt that the last year or so of my life I was balanced. I also noticed that my Tourette Syndrome wasn’t as pronounced whilst wearing it. So, whether it works or not, in my head, it works.

The new bracelet that Carly brought me this morning was for “abundance.” I have had friends who have worn the abundance bracelet and swear that the universe is on their side with abundance. Can’t we all use some of that? Mmmm hmmm heck yeah.

So, you’re wondering, or perhaps you’re really not, why I mentioned yesterday’s podcast score again? Well, today, I got another one. This one is still in the very preliminary stages and per usual, I will not talk about what it is or what it is about until it’s time for its release. I don’t want to jinx it and it’s not my place to blab about it until it is actually in existence.

Whether or not the bracelet had anything to do with this, the call was actually for something different, I don’t know. I don’t care. I just know the reason I wanted that one specifically is that it’s time I get my abundance on, y’all. Again, in my mind, it works.

Carly, thank you so much! And, you should go by and see her, Dear Reader. There’s much more to her shop than just bracelets. She has fashionable wearables, flip flops (with crystals), special water bottles, pads, essential oils, all kinds of things. And, when you’re in there, sit in the vibing chair. You’ll not move.

Until tomorrow, I am Abundance…

Ray and I had a great conversation with Brandon Cassidy, owner/operator of the Food Freaks food truck. On The Beer Dads, we talked about oversharing parents and/or kids whose entire lives are on the internet/social media.

The project is done and I’ve turned in the final cuts. I’ve been paid and I’m worn out. But, we’re ready to show off what we’ve been doing on Wednesday morning.

Listen to the latest The Man Who Ate the Town ep, go HERE.

Salutations™!!

Today, Ray and I recorded the 100th episode of The Man Who Ate the Town. I want to thank The BCPF, Kelly Bone, Tim Johnson and the guests that we’ve had on the show these 100 episodes. I’ve had a ball doing them all with you.100_6011498_lrg.jpg

Today, we had Brantley Norris on the show. Brantley is the GM at the upcoming Yamas Mediterranean Street Food restaurant on Fourth Street. It was a great visit with him and we talked about a couple of new openings and I reviewed my Uncle Buzzy’s experience. Fun show!

Also, we published the latest The Beer Dads episode and the Dads talk about the Super Bore that we had earlier this month. And, we had good beer.

Salutations™!!

We recorded Fan Interference today and TC and HB interviewed Greg Dortch, a former All-ACC WR from Wake Forest who is attending the NFL Scouting Combine in a few weeks and hopes to be drafted. It was a cool interview.

Then I ran down to Uncle Buzzy’s and attended a tasting especially for food bloggers. I ate myself stupid. I probably had around three pounds of food. That may or may not be the case, but it sure did feel like it. It was all so good, though. Look for a post about it in the next few days, over on The Man Who Ate the Town blog/podcast. Again, it was a lot of food.

Then we recorded The Less Desirables and we had Sam Foster and Seth Williams of the band Whiskey Foxtrot and they played three tunes on the podcast, live. I did Facebook Live teasers of the three songs. So you should go listen to them, as they’re pretty awesome tunes.

To hear the interview with Mr. Dortch, listen HERE. To hear the songs from Whiskey Foxtrot, listen HERE.

I’m done. Oh, the “posting movie” this week is 1984 starring John Hurt, Richard Burton and Suzanna Hamilton.
