3Sixty

The guys would like to start with Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Quanza or Happy Festivus.....whichever brings you, our listeners the most Joy!  This week they welcome their great friend Jeff Santo to serve the role of moderator and chief inquisitor as Jeff takes us on a nostalgic journey of boyhood memories and self-exploration.  Jeff and his wife Christie were instrumental in helping the guys build and kick off this 3Sixty adventure, so who better to lead us on this season finale journey.  After some laughter and authentic discussion, the guys slide into their first ever “460" with a tough (and tricky) baseball quiz, quotes from a former President as well as a French Renaissance Philosopher, and our guest challenges us to recall an agreeable aroma of a time gone by.  In our closing comments, all the guys wish you and your loved ones a happy holiday season and “that your new year be a delight!”

This week Ems gets a chance to dig into something he has been wondering about since the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl 15 years ago;  Does Marketing Really Work?  Before the guys get into the meat of the episode, Ems comes clean about his "technical difficulties" from last week....there's a slide cover for the laptop camera???  Who knew!  Terry and Dan share about what scared them in early childhood TV shows and movies; although Dan points out that 8th grade might have been too young to see The Omen!  Terry goes off script on Rudolph....AND the guys revisit fashion in the 80's and what their "go to" outfit was when hitting the town.  The 70's-80's childhood commercial "pop quiz" was fun as the guys recall famous commercials from the early years; Terry proves his cultural turrets is legit!  Glimpses of other convos include "can of corn", "fast fashion" and Ems' "Tom Cruise ban"!

The guys reflect on the houses they grew up in and how their experiences shaped who they are and how they interact in and see the world.  Although the guys have known each other for 50+ years, there are still much they continue to learn about each other.  Terry, Dan and Jim share intimate stories about their childhood homes, relationships with their parents, things their parents got right and things they took from them to guide their parenting path.  After a reflective and honest discussion, they ALMOST went 3 for 3 on positive 360's.......but not to be!  You will be enlightened by the history of the "hail mary", share in a heartfelt Thanksgiving message.......and lament on Congress's current fumbling of the upcoming ACA tax credits.  Last and certainly not least, the guys takeaway a parenting idea that they all plan to add to their arsenal......will be worthy of a future follow up!

Ems starts out conveying his first "happy holidays" of the year and DM quickly chides him for what he considers a "premature pronouncement".......7 days before Thanksgiving(??).......lots to unpack here!  The boys continue on their path of thoughtful, and at times humorous reflection.  This week's topic is their takes on spiritual practices, how they use in their lives, and to no surprise the idea of "spreading good cheer" makes an appearance!  Fols recalls how he stopped his Catholic Confirmation dead in its tracks and how he paved the way for the other Foley boys to follow his lead.....God bless his mother Fay :)  Terry recalls a moment that put chills in him....literally!....and how this had a lasting impact on his spiritual view.  And our boy Ems went from "black" to Clarity and never looked back!

The guys share their experiences with addiction; its causes and ideas for recovery.  Before they go deep however, they banter about hair loss (Terry and Dan's....sorry guys!), serial killers and their connection to a famous Chicago mob hit gone awry!  After an engaging discussion about today's topic, they divert back to their shallow selves and talk about the origins of "hot potato", the scientific experiment called "Rat Park", Terry laments about one side's lack of empathy, and Ems shares an opinion from the right about the origins of the current discontent, in an effort to get clarity about the current state of the union.

To start the show the boys discuss facial hair and missing their 45th high school reunion. 

Every song tells a story, In this episode the boys rewind, rediscover the music that made them who they are. The episode is part story telling, part musical time capsule - a reminder that the best way to remember a moment is to press play.  To start the show the boys discuss facial hair and their 45th high school reunion that they all missed. 

Wrapping-up, Jim and Terry share two encouraging stories of redemption and sportsmanship. And Dan reports on an indigenous community in Alaska that is unnecessarily destroyed by a flood.

In today's episode, the guys take a cue from Podcaster and Author Timothy Ferris and share the top books that have impacted their lives (see list below).  Prior to this thoughtful discussion, they reminisce about "how hard they had it" and how "they paved the way" for today's fantasy football participants(!), and of course they have to do a little "inside baseball" and discuss the Chicago Cubs season....a health mix of disappointment and gratitude.  Terry rants about the current culture of "tipping", Danimal laments about income inequality and Ems shares a new t-shirt line from from former Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger.  Although there was only one minor brain freeze this week, a new issue reared it's ugly head.......the muted mike!
