Friday Night Lights experience enhanced by Bell Game victory

This is that one that captures your mind, body and soul in one fell swoop. It's that one that finally discusses the songs that get stuck in your head, the unsubscribing from emails process, the live radio spots, the types of parents at school drop off, the wagering of teens, the struggles of humanity, the nightmares that create perspective, the nonsense game of politics, and the beauty of riding trains and clearing throats. Jump into this and don't look back! Leave a nice rating or review wherever you listen and enjoy the good life.

Gambling losses by betting on MLB playoffs

Been too long, folks! Let's attempt another episode and let's experience all of the highs and lows together. Those highs and lows will weave in and out of this audio journey of hope, of sickness, of fear, of Twilight Zone memories, of reading thrills and empowerment, of new books (check out We Will Be Jaguars), of Woody Allen cancellations, of A's departures, of brain fog, of grown-up conversations, of becoming bigger people, and of renovations. Stream time, dream time, cream time, gleam time! Leave a nice rating on iTunes or wherever you listen, if you're so compelled.

Endless cough by the hands of the devil himself

Welp, it's go time, folks! As in Josh is going to attempt to master his craft on his way to 10,000 hours. Gladwell believes 10,000 achieves mastery but Josh isn't even close yet. Luckily, Gladwell is likely full of shit. But on the other end of the spectrum (empty of shit) is a sobering discussion with Josh's former student Randy from Lebanon, a rant about alcohol and health, a pensive view of insomnia and MDDS, a celebration of the deep meaning of high school football season, a closer look at social media shaping thoughts and identities, an interesting example of playground graffiti, an examination of first grade today and first grade hootenanny memories, and chance to dissect the use of "um" in language. Only the important stuff, good people. Now, drop a nice rating or review on iTunes/Apple wontchya!

This meat stick of a listening experience is tightly packed with thrift store musings, violent thoughts, middle fingers, home alone boredom, swimming, Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn, conspiracy theories, crazy politics, closed-mindedness, and impurities of the mind! It's wild so put on some SPF 75-100 and listen to this one as you bake in the sweet summer sun.
