IS IT VALID TO EXPECT OTHERS TO MEET YOUR EMOTIONAL NEEDS? -

... Keith and Lee love taking on big questions. The fact that they are not experts certainly doesn't stop them. And why should it? Like everyone else, they observe, have opinions, and therefore like to discuss them. Someone said that all men (and women) are philosophers. Hard not to agree with that, as all of us have views and stances concerning life and all its intricacies. It's one of the dimensions of living that makes life interesting. Just ask any poet. This question of looking to others, or another, to meet your emotional needs can be answered many ways. Bob Dylan sang, "I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul," which illustrates how someone in a close relationship may want to drag out of another more than is healthy. Yet, aren't relationships about support and caring for each other, even on an emotional level? Interesting territory to explore. So a little bit more serious from the boys on this episode ... oh until the end.

LIFE WHEN YOU LOSE EVERYTHING -

... What is life like, and how do you keep going when you lose everything? We reply on so much to be someone, be content that life is worth living and to be happy with ourselves. But what do we do when all our support props fall away for some reason? Be that through our own actions, decisions or whatever unplanned circumstances come upon us. It's a very good question to discuss. However, on this episode, Keith and Lee didn't really get around to doing so. They were simply enjoying themselves too much after not recording a DGMS episode for two weeks. With a few jokes and stories from Keith's recent trip, time just slipped away. They did finally land on the topic but only briefly. Which wasn't a bad thing really. The energy between these two was still very much alive making this podcast more a fun episode than a serious one.

GEN Z WITH ZACK ...                      

      - Generation gaps can often fuel misunderstanding, or if they sit down and listen to each other, that gap can be closed. Surprisingly when Keith and Lee had the opportunity to do just that with a very young Zack some interesting pearls of observation tumbled forth from him. It's too easy for older folks to look down at the younger ones through what they often perceive as their wisdom gained by many years of living. Whilst there is no need to discard such views, this thinking can be very limiting. Zack certainly lit up this episode with some terrific - and at times humourous comments that both Keith and Lee very much enjoyed.

LETHAL AND MULLY LIVE 

... There are times when the news actually isn't news. Well, at least reported events of opinions that really don't amount to much. But the fact that someone took the time and effort to write it up to fill a newspaper - or media outlet makes it fair game. Certainly not to take any of it too seriously. If there is white noise, then most likely there is also white print. So, Lethal and Mully delved right into the hot topics printed up large in the weekend paper to see if any good could be extracted. Or if they themselves could add some white noise of their own from the white print. And why not? The professional writers can't have all the fun.

WHAT IS YOUR DEFINITION OF SUCCESS? -

... It's a good question for who doesn't want success? But what exactly is success? It certainly means different things to different people. It's quite common, in Australia, to define success by being lucky or smart enough to amass a good deal of money. Often you will hear, "Oh he, or she, has been very successful in life due to having made a lot of money," But is that description of success adequate, shallow or missing a much broader criterion? Keith think so, citing that for him success means having healthy relationships, being free from domineering appetites and crippling debt. Lee breaks it down even more.

YOUR BIGGEST REGRET - A BAD TATTOO OR AN EX-PARTNER? -

... Keith was wondering which would be the biggest regret, either a bad tattoo or an ex-partner. Lee was just wondering about regrets in general. Still, they chatted away meandering in and out of their various views while enjoying a few laughs along the way. When it comes to ex-partners or bad tattoos quite often some secrets can tumble out. Lee did let slip a few little ones but Keith was quite guarded. Lee, being the positive guy that he is, had some good advice on regrets, which he sees as a waste of time. As always, another lively chat from the boys, which is refreshing in these times when so many are talking about the big issues. Just two good friends talking about life as it comes to them - the Aussie and the Pom.

IS SILENCE GOLDEN? -

... It has be said many times that silence is golden - indeed quite a few songs have been written about it. Most famous is Simon and Garfunkel's hit, "The Sound of Silence." But is it really that good to earn such a glowing reputation? Keith and Lee discuss, asking such questions as: is it really golden, is silence a sound, does it have a function when communicating, is it similar to a vacuum that needs to be filled with noise, can silence be intimidating, can it be put to good use when used in communication and personal leisure and is being comfortable with silence a sign of maturity? Good questions that lead to an interesting podcast episode.

IS THE ART OF CONVERSATION DEAD? ...      

                                            - In this fast-paced, modern society with so much instant entertainment and gratifying distractions that cry out for our engagement Keith and Lee felt that discussing this question was very topical - and pertinent. Conversation, of course, is a vital bridge of communication but it's so much more being at the heart of relationships and friendships that can bring joy, laughter, enlightenment, entertainment, learning, stimulation and personal growth. A good conversation can stay in your memory for quite a long time. So can an encounter with a good conversationalist. Someone who can impart some of the above-mentioned attributes. Indeed such an encounter can not only be enriching but life changing.
