Distraction Avenue

Back after a few weeks as its summer! Boycotting straws: did you know Americans use 500 million straws every day?!? Plus, those little roly-poly pill bugs do more than you think (and they're not really bugs)! Incredibles 2 is awesome...break-ups are easy/easier...and a club I really want to join.

Exploring if there was a "connection" when Steve met his biological father. Plus friend of the podcast Brad makes a guest appearance with the Top 10+ Sayings/Phrases Nothing Good Ever Comes From!

A special, hopefully regular guest: Steve's pal Brad, direct from Nashville, TN! Riffing on why Nashville is more than just a country music town and online dating profile photo fails. Plus, wondering what it would be like if Paul Stanley from KISS worked in your office.

It's National Answer the Phone Like Buddy the Elf Day (really!) and this week we dig in for the holiday season with some favorite holiday rock/pop songs (as seen daily at Weapon of Self-Distraction) and Steve lights his mom's menorah for the first time in decades. Plus, a casting call for...NFL fans? And the very cool documentary Hired Gun is on Netflix (finally!) and discussed.

It's definitely the best movie about hockey ever made, and possibly the best sports comedy, period: Steve and his guest, editor, music journalist and all-around great guy Dennis take a deep dive into the 1977 movie Slapshot.

An apology for quality & distraction control issues and a call for a co-host! Footloose in 2017: no dancing at The Goat in Portsmouth, NH. Plus Three Billboards in Ebbing, MO and for f**k's sake, enough with dumb men doing dumb things to women!
