Piggybackin’ again tonight! We recorded Apartment 5B: Irrational Conversations with the Cool Breezes of Anytown, USA tonight. We threw a few throat punches, complained, talked about idiots who gave money to the homeless/GoFundMe scam and talked holidays and some “this day in history” stuff.

We had a good show and you really should listen to the episode. You can do that HERE. Thanks for listening!

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Salutations™!!

I love my job. I get to write blog posts, record podcasts, talk into a microphone, meet and/or spend time with cool folks. That’s what I did today. Most of my day was spent editing, creating, recording podcasts, doing voice-overs and enjoying myself. 08c6c-tld

I had a friend of mine on The Less Desirables tonight and she brought a co-worker/friend of hers and we talked about real estate – something that isn’t the most riveting thing in the world, but we had fun with it. It was a fun show to record.

I hope my co-host, Bethany gets better, soon. She was out tonight because she had surgery yesterday and it took a little more work than what they thought the problem was. I hope for better and for this to fix her headaches.

I myself have a doctor’s appointment in the morning. I hate fasting and I hate getting my blood taken. I know that my blood work is going to be bad because I’ve not been eating as well as I should have been over the last few weeks. Oh well. That’s at 7:45a and dang! That’s early. Oh, well.

Is it just me or has this post been a bit disjointed? I kid, I know it has. It’s been a long day but again, I love my job. Hear how much and listen to this week’s episode, which you can hear HERE.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!

Tonight, we recorded Apartment 5B and it was a fun episode. In addition to Jeff’s and Rory’s Throat Punch of the Week, for the first time, I threw in my own throat punch. I went off on some drivers, you’d have to listen to hear what it was about.A5BLogoTestCrop

We also talked about a Scottish, um, “gentleman” who slathered peanut butter over his junk and allowed his dog to help clean it up. But, the dog didn’t stop at cleaning it up… You’d have to listen to hear more.

All three Residents reviewed the film Bucky Larson: Born to be a Star after it was named to the bottom of Rotten Tomatoes’ ratings with a “0” rating (along with others). You’d have to listen to hear what we said.

The show ran about an hour and 16 minutes or so. It’s worth the listen as we went over “this day in history,” as well. So, to hear this episode you can go HERE.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Salutations™!!TBDBottle

There was no The Man Who Ate the Town or Fan Interference podcasts today. TC has a broadcasting gig that he has to concentrate on and that delays FI. There weren’t much food happenings this week so we didn’t do TMWATT. But, we did publish an episode of The Beer Dads today and tomorrow is Apartment 5B and Wednesday is The Less Desirables! So, we’ll have a good bit of podcasts this week, still.

You can always watch the Fan Interference Twitter account as it has updates and there are plenty of back eps of TMWATT if you need that. You can listen to the current episode of The Beer Dads, right HERE.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Tonight we recorded Episode 19 of Apartment 5B Podcast and it was a good one. We talked about the day in history, including a 6+ minute music history segment from me, Throat Punches from Jeff and Rory, the New York Post article on the dude jumping into a shark tank naked and “the Residents” talk about Halloween costumes and movies. _1NYP

The New York Post is a great place for “odd news” and we use it almost every week. Two of “the Residents” are from New York so they totally get it.

It was a fun night and I believe you’ll enjoy the show. You can listen to that episode right HERE. Get ready for some shenanigans!

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

This week will be one of those weeks where we record, produce and distribute all FIVE of The Less Desirables Network shows. Today was three of them. Fan Interference was first today and we talked a lot about the NFL, MLB and college football. You can hear that HERE.man who ate the town Stallone

Up next came The Man Who Ate the Town and my pal, Timmy VO, and I talked about several restaurants/food trucks closing, food history and such, plus we tasted Padre Azul’s Añejo tequila. Great stuff. Also, I got a brand new logo designed by my pal, Stallone Frazier. He did it right, too. This means that I can finally get biz cards for TMWATT and get Machine Gun Graphics to make me some t-shirts for it as well! You can hear the episode HERE.

Lastly, we recorded the first The Beer Dads in a few weeks. We talk about how young is too young for kids to be paid influencers. We had a great brew, too. Listen to that ep right HERE.

Again, you can hear each of these on the Network website, or anywhere you listen to podcasts, including Spotify! Thank you so much for listening!

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

“Due to financial reasons [sic], we have made the decision to close permanently; effective immediately. We have loved serving you and will miss you all very much. Thanks so much to all of you who have supported us faithfully and for our fantastic staff. It was a very hard decision to make but we felt like it was our only option at this point. Thanks again.” – Roots Restaurant

I was in The Less Desirables Studios in the Lab at Industry Hill today for a bit of work. In addition to The Man Who Ate the Town yesterday, last night we recorded a special episode of Fan Interference with TC’s ACC Network intern, Senior WFU volleyball player Hailey Brooke McFadden. I edited it today and posted it. You can hear that HERE.

Hailey McFadden

Also, we recorded the latest episode of Apartment 5B. This week was great. Rory and Jeff’s Throat Punch of the week, we talk about three fathers/father figures who are idiots… er “father of the year” candidates. We also talk about Columbia House and BMG Music clubs and how they led many children of the 90s into early debt, even though they didn’t really know it.  We also talked about history for this day, including music, birthdays and other items. It’s good stuff. Listen to it HERE.

So, we gave you a good bit to listen to over the last few days so, go listen and enjoy it!

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

As we announced last night on The Less Desirables, Underdog Records isn’t our vinyl sponsor any longer. Yeah… that’s because Underdog Records is now THE Official Music Sponsor of The Less Desirables! Heck yeah!15133988_10154390906891997_1801627864_o

I know what you’re thinking. No, Underdog doesn’t sell CDs or promote a lot of streaming music. And, you’re right. But, Underdog is passionate about music. All music. I’ve been talking to Jonathan about expanding what we do about music for some time now and I really want to push the music section more than just “here’s what’s coming out in all aspects of music this week.” I mean, this whole thing got started as a “pop culture podcast,” right? I love what we have become but I don’t want to get away from where we came from.

So, what does this mean? It means that every week, now we’ll talk about the new releases like always, there will be a dedicated Underdog Records recording and we’ll play a song by an artist or act that will be playing locally. That hasn’t changed. We will go back and start talking about other musical things like albums or album reviews, news from the music world and I want to get more musicians on the show like we used to do. We have the place for it, so why not, right? Right.

I’m going to talk with Jonathan about ideas that he may have about what kind of musical topics he’d like to hear on the show. I mean, it’s his section, n’est-ce pas? You never know what may come of it. So, keep listening. Oh! And, it’s not like I don’t say it enough already, but you need to listen to TLD each week to hear that week’s exclusive TLD/Underdog special. Is it a ploy to get you to listen? Heck yeah, it is. But, we think the show is worth listening to, anyway and if it gets you some savings at Underdog Records…? BONUS!

Again, welcome (back) Underdog Records in your new sponsorship level and we hope it elevates the vinyl business in this town to new heights and we help elevate you! Sláinte, my friend!

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Salutations™!!

So, you know last night I said I had something to write about, right?

Well, that “something” was the addition (and somewhat subtraction) of the Apartment 5B Podcast to The Less Desirables Podcast Network! We have been doing Apartment 5B since February, publishing them (usually) every two weeks. We are working on getting the frequency to weekly because studies show that a weekly produced podcast is more likely to get listened to than one of any less frequency. A5BLogoTestCrop

Well, what is Apartment 5B, you ask? I’ll tell ya. First, 5B was the apartment number of Cosmo Kramer on Seinfeld. Since this is basically a pop culture podcast, with TV being a huge part of it, why not use a good pop culture reference? Why not indeed.

The tagline for this podcast is “Your Podcast home for Irrational Conversations
with the Cool Breezes of Anytown, USA.” It can be about anything or about nothing. See the pattern here? We talk television, movies, music, weird news, we spin a wheel and decide what random topic we’ll talk about.

Does any of that sound familiar? It’s really what The Less Desirables podcast started out being and it’s what I wanted it to become. Don’t get me wrong. I love The Less Desirables and what it has become but it wasn’t my original idea. Also, this isn’t my show. It’s the brainchild of Jeff Evans and “Rory.” I’m just trying to get it more traction by introducing the TLDN audiences to a new podcast. I’m even a “cast member” that goes by the name “Producer Tim.”

If you’re wanting to hear a fun (and sometimes explicit) podcast, give Apartment 5B a try. You can find it on The Less Desirables Network website. We release them every other Tuesday evening, currently. Again, we’re looking to up the frequency. You can find this week’s episode HERE. Enjoy it!

And, again… WELCOME TO THE NETWORK APARTMENT 5B!!!

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Today on The Man Who Ate the Town podcast, Kelly and I talked about several things like IHOP becoming “IHOb” (which is ridiculous, even if it is only temporary), Oreos’ new flavors, Anthony Bourdain’s passing and a few other things. I could go into some long-winded complaint about the IHOb thing but I won’t. You should listen to hear what we said about it. You can do that HERE.

We also put a poll up on that post. We would be very appreciative if you participated in that poll. If you have trouble voting, let me know. It’s important for us to have the interaction with our listeners/readers/viewers.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
