#09 MINI - Liam Has a Podcast?!

My four-year old Liam has made many appearances on the show. In our latest sit-down he made a startling announcment. Apparently, he also has a podcast. Turns out he's utilizing multiple forms of social media, and he has plans for a live broadcast at a well known eating establishment for kids. You think you know you're own child... The song used in this episode is called "Ukulele". You can find it at http://www.bensound.com/ Thanks for listening.

#30 - The Hounds of Czar

Today you will hear again from The Hounds of Czar. They’re a musical outfit from Swansea, South Wales in the UK. They first appeared in Ep#28 with Lisa Gail. It was so much fun we thought it justified its own full-length episode. Stay tuned to the very end for a few of our favorite Hounds songs including their cover of Lisa's song "3-second rule. Plus, our intern search reaches a new level of bizarre as a celebrity asks for consideration. Thanks for listening.

Greg, Scott and Ivan are on the show today for our first edition of “hypotheticals”. This is an effort to help Ivan ward off Alzheimer’s and dementia. Greg and Scott know the plan but we didn’t know if Ivan would agree to do it so we aren’t telling him the topic until now. Also, Ivan meets Steve McQueen, we take a creative approach to finding a new intern, and new music. Thanks for listening.

OCTOBER 2016 Beard of the Month

September 29, 2016

This is Ben. If it’s not plainly obvious, he’s a millennial…and a hipster. And I think it’s great. I’m neither of those. I’m a GenXer. Like millennials, the older generation shook their heads and wrung their hands at the thought of us being responsible for the future of humanity. We listened to grunge music. Skateboards were the transportation de jour. We wore flannel…even in the summer. To the older, we personified the sign of the end times. Today, I have a good job, three kids, and I’m contributing to society in a number of ways. Take that old man shaking your fist at me from your front yard!

People are confused and a little frightened of millennials too. They don’t know what motivates them. And they don’t know how to market and sell to them. I’m not going to launch into a full scale article on this. You can google all you can handle on the subject.

But I will say that I love this new generation.  They got a great sense of style. They seem to be influencing people to stop and see the world differently. They embody a certain creativity and sense of adventure. There are the negative characteristics too but all generations have their faults, right?

So enjoy, these pictures of my friend Ben. And congratulations to him for being chosen as the OCTOBER 2016 Beard of the Month. Don’t be jealous just because he’s handsome, can grow a ridiculous and doesn’t care if you like it.
