A trip to the "Little Bighorn" leaves me with some ideas of how history can lead us on the road to self-improvement. For Coaches Pep Talk, I go with a sports quote from Bill Walsh. OF COURSE we play trivia and I have an idea of what the funniest thing ever is. On that subject, I issue a challenge to anyone who thinks they've seen the funniest thing ever.

On this episode I discuss the magic, and curse, that memories can have. I believe I know a way to, sort of, time travel. Pep talk takes a look at life through the mind of a poet. And fried pies, need I say more?

With this episode, I stay on the topic of language, how the words we use can affect us. I discovered that there is indeed such a thing as a free cup of coffee. Do you think that going around the World in 80 days might be exciting? I don't, let me tell you why. And

Pep Talk is an encouraging word on living in the moment

On this episode of the Old Man's Podcast I revisit an old topic, how language has evolved over the decades . There is an "I Remember When segment, mostly dealing with telephone communication. Pep talk is based on a truly inspirational quote from

Katherine Hepburn.

And I have been making sport with cold callers and Robo calls... am I messing with fire?

This episode starts off with a discussion on "people just don't wear hats anymore"! Once fashionable, hat wearing is now ancient history, other than for a practical reason.

The term plant-based chicken is a farce, and for a couple of different reasons. You're going to learn why. On Pep Talk I ask that we "Take a Close Look at Ourselves"

Finally, MORE evidence that "the phone is always listening".

Although the general topic is High School Reunions, this episode is born from my own personal experience at the Riverview Gardens Class of 1977 45th reunion. Don't worry if you aren't interested in that particular class, I work this episode on the concept of high school reunions in general. Pep Talk is devoted to the idea all High School graduates strive for, to change the world. And on Engage Your Brain, where we play trivia, the questions are all centered around the year 1977.

A recent trip through Oklahoma burdened me with an unwanted hitchhiker. I remember when a telephone tree was used, quite effectively, for mass communication, and that would never work now. How

going to a different grocery store feels like cheating. And a pep talk on "paying attention".

On this episode I remember when there was a certain one of my guys who insisted on being a Sophomore. The modern "all gender bathroom" presents a new issue for me. I discovered a new word that seems to be taking over for “Rocking”. And the topic for pep talk is patience, another step on the road to happiness.

On this episode I ask a common question, especially from many of us older people, what are the rules? Somebody has got to explain to us what is acceptable and what is not acceptable in our culturally sensitive, politically correct world. I'm just looking for a little clarity here. I miss homecoming parades and I want to complain about that. I have a little bit on happiness and what one of the most positive people you could ever hear from, Michael J. Fox, has to say about that. And a funny thing happened to me which has led to some humility on my part.
