Have you been in that situation, where you and your pregnant significant other are going back and forth over baby names? And to overcomplicate this already complex situation, you suggest a name of a Bond related actor or character? I wonder how that would go over!

In this episode, my guest "The Beared Blofeld" and I discuss how we approached this matter...and both got shot down. We'll present some baby names that may make your spouse's ears ring with joy...or at least be easier for them to swallow. And we'll also introduce some of our Bond community members who have had success and have brought home from the hospital a Felix, an Ian, a Lupe, and a happy wife.

007 years till a new Bond movie? I have some things to say about that, Deadline. Let's get after the "news" of the day.

Come sail away with me to...Wind Gap, PA! You may even spot a Goldeneye duck when you come join me for a 30th anniversary 35mm screening of "Goldeneye." Bonding Events, my recently launched online event directory, will sponsor an exclusive showing on November 15, 2025 at 7pm at the Gap Theatre. There will be a pre-show happy hour nearby and a post-show after party as well. Get the preliminary details now so you can SAVE THE DATE! I hope you will join me for this unique experience to celebrate Goldeneye in its original glory on the big screen in the way it was intended to be seen.

Remember Suncoast Motion Picture Company? The mall go to store for purchasing VHS, Laser Discs, and eventually DVDs? And pretty much the only store in the mall selling any kind of Bond collectibles, posters, and memorabilia? Yea well, from hundreds of locations, there are only TWO locations left nationwide (for now). Please indulge me as I reminisce down memory lane back to the days where I could walk into Suncoast every weekend with my friends and find a new Bond item to bring home. I miss those days...

What is Bonding Events? Well, let me tell you in my nasally, ultra raspy voice about my new venture. I'll fill you in on some recent Bond adventures I've been a part of..and how those events became a call to action for me to get this project off the ground. Wish you had one place to find out EVERYTHING related to Bond events and experiences around the globe? Screenings, concerts, exhibitions, fan gatherings, autograph signings, and anything and everything in between? Well, now you do. Welcome to BondingEvents.com

A special tribute episode to someone we all respect, admire, and try to emulate in the Bond Community.

Catcha later dudes! Board the time-travelling telephone booth with me as we go back in time and reincarnate the spirit of Ian Fleming. Ok, not exactly! But in this episode, I’ll give you my take on what Fleming would have had to say about all that has transpired in the world of James Bond 007 since his death in 1964…the films, the continuation novels, the character interpretations, and how Bond has changed over the last sixty years. What choices would he have enjoyed, and what would driven him nuts? Well, Mr. Fleming, I’m ready to speak on your behalf!

Special delivery! Joe Darlington, the renowned podcast legend behind Being James Bond, joins me for an in-depth conversation in this special episode. Joe’s extensive knowledge around the world of Bond skill-sets blends perfectly with my inquisitive and satirical nature as we tackle the most outrageous and implausible skills and knowledge that James Bond embodies. It’s a fun ride that will have you questioning how believable Bond’s extensive knowledge is in more than twelve languages, his talent at commandeering any vehicle he has access to like a trained instructor, and his ability to have every outfit for every climate always at his disposal. Mary Poppins would be impressed!

How much do you spend annually on your Bond hobby? Do you have any idea? Let's discuss some recent poll results about what people were willing to admit to...and why those results mean bupkis. I make the argument that most Bond fans do not have an accurate idea of how much they spend on this passion. With watches, products, trips, events, and more, if you aren't careful, being a fan of 007 could be to your financial detriment. Some food for thought for those who could use a financial wake-up call!

EON Productions has no love for pups, none! To start oursecond season, I'll tell a personal tale (or tail!) about my experience proposing a new product category to EON's consumer products licensing team for 007. And I was not treated very nicely! After 18 years in product licensing formy company, this is my forte. And this, by far and away, was the least professional and most condescending back and forth I've ever had professionally. The idiot is ready to speak up!
