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. But also, I want to bring attention to the announcement I made on The Man Who Ate the Town blog today. Zesto is having their first-anniversary celebration this Saturday and they want you to come. 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:

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

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!

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…

Can’t Beet That or: Red Head Shot

Salutations™!!

I did something I’ve not done in a while today and that’s got a sunburn. I met with my friend Stallone Frazier to do a few headshots for a project or two I have coming up and we were on top of a building downtown. I wanted scenes from the town I love. That’s not what did it, though.

So red I glow! (no, not really)

Stallone is an awesome dude and we had a two-hour conversation about life, business, business life, kids, parents, and so on. It was just cool talking with him. I dig him a lot and what time we get it was good just hanging out on the top of this building. The bad part was it was right in the sun. There was a lovely shaded space but we didn’t move there. I think we both thought we’d end the conversation at any time but it went on for two hours. But, you know what? To me, it was worth it.

So, for the next few days, I’ll still be able to fry an egg on my head and will start peeling, but that’s okay. All is good. Thanks again, Stallone! I’ve seen other people’s headshots he’s done and they’ve been great, but the subject matter was me this time. I will probably hate them because I’m in them, but I’m sure the shots will be great! When I have something, I’ll share. Stallone is also working on branding for me for a “new venture” which isn’t really new, but he did The Man Who Ate the Town logo, which I love. You should contact him if you need photography or graphic design done.

I wrote a big long blog post on The Man Who Ate the Town blog today of our big tasting and blogger event at Zesto Burgers & Ice Cream yesterday.

I’m no stranger to Zesto, so I organized the blogger/writer event. It was good. We had close to 20 items. That’s a load of food. Read the blog post HERE.

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:

Once again, I was the featured writer for this week’s “Dinner Guest” column for “Triad City Bites” of the Triad City Beat magazine. I wrote a brief intro on The Man Who Ate the Town with a link to the story. To keep you from having to go through a plethora of links, I’m going to just connect you to the article itself.

It has been a few weeks since I have done a piggyback and with two great shows today, it was a great time.

01

Yamas Half & Half Bowl with gyro meat and a slew of veggies and sauce. Delicious!

On The Man Who Ate the Town podcast, Ray and I talked with Brittany McGee from The Humblebee Shoppe and it was a great interview. Then, Ray and I talked about our experience at the soft-openings of Yamas Mediterranean Street Food which opened today. I also had lunch there today and we have just fallen in love with the place. Listen to what we thought.

On The Beer Dads, we had Bethany Miller back. Yep, the TobaccovilleNista herself to talk about her, being a co-host of The Less Desirables, and of course, cigars! This too was a great show.

To hear TMWATT listen HERE.
To hear TBD listen HERE.

Until tomorrow, yamas! (which means to your health/cheers in Greek)
Scorp out!

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.

To listen to TMWATT, click HERE.

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

Salutations™!!

So last week was my “busy” week. You’d think I would be more scattered during that time, right? Well, I wasn’t, I was laser focused. I think being busy really keeps me focused. 19e412aac5f0c09a48aad586329946bec3dcfb20cb7acd0a8e03b3c929bfe9b3

This week, however, started off unfocused. I couldn’t get my stuff in a row. I couldn’t get the schedule made for The Man Who Ate the Town. I did get a Skype interview done for Fan Interference and I did a Skype interview with a guest for this week’s The Less Desirables.

But, I ran off and didn’t load this week’s The Beer Dads or The Man Who Ate the Town podcasts onto their respective servers. That means I can’t post either one of them until tomorrow. Which I will, but man… It’s just been weird today.

Also, I’m going to admit it, that I am writing this at 12:45a on Tuesday morning even though it’s for Monday. I just can’t get it together. I think some sleep will help. That’s where I’m going. I’ll have the posts for you tomorrow!

Nite!

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!
