ItsGone

Greetings, fellow listeners. I go solo for the twenty-third time today on the Ides of March. If nobody out there knows what that is (Probably because you slept during history class), listen to a brief summarization on the origin of this historic day and why it's significant. Also, hear me relate to my post-workout pains and suffering through my rendition of "Brain Stew" by Green Day.

Greetings, fellow listeners. On this exact day two years ago on March 11 , the entire world went into full pandemonium as the COVID-19 virus was declared a contagious airborne disease and we are put into lockdown in our homes for quite a while and our way of life had been alternated in a way that has now become normal. This episode was recorded on two separate days and edited together as a whole. I captured my both my parents' thoughts and opinions on how the pandemic has affected life and society in the past two years, how it's being handled by experts in the fields of science and medicine, and predictions on what'll happen to life in the not-too-distant future. Also, hear me relate to our previous experiences during lockdown with my rendition of the multi-covered hit song "I Think We're Alone Now" (Most recently covered by Green Day lead singer, Billie Joe Armstrong).

Greetings, fellow listeners. Doc and I go all the way in an extended gabfest with our nineteenth guest: John Arroyo, my karaoke companion from Tea & Poets. For slightly over an hour, we chat with John about our mutual companionship as regulars at Tea & Poets, the origin of John's passion of karaoke, his 40-year profession of handling baggage at MIA, and his current profession as an addict recovery sponsor and devoted member of the congregation at Old Cutler Presbyterian Church (Note: This was recorded just a few hours before showtime at Tea & Poets).

Greetings, fellow listeners. This is a very passionate episode because today is the birthday of my bowling teammate, Jim Carpenter. Jim turns 90 years old today and me and my bowling teammates have been flooding his inbox with the best birthday messages to remind him that he's not alone despite having four fully-grown children and grandchildren living in Orlando and him living all alone in a small apartment. Tomorrow, we will bowl and celebrate his lifetime. Hear me honor my cherished elder friend with "When I'm Sixty-Four" by the Beatles and "Old Man" by Neil Young. Happy birthday, Jim! 

Sláinte, fellow listeners. It is officially the beginning of March and I kick it off with another edition of the podcast with Doc and I recording ourselves gabble over the voice memo app on my phone on a drive in Doc's car from the billiards hall at Bird Bowl to grab a bite of grub for dinner. Have an audio gander of us shooting it up about how we both suck at pool, what it feels like to be a smoker, and if I even care about getting employed to sustain my future. Also, listen to me honoring legendary Who lead singer Roger Daltrey's 78th birthday with my rendition of rock masterpiece "Baba O'Riley" (Not to mention "Break on Through" by The Doors to remember the infamous Miami incident 53 years ago today).

Greetings, fellow listeners. I speak to all youse wonderful people by myself for the twenty-first time as I speak highly about a close acquaintance of mine from Tea & Poets who still sings karaoke at age 70 and has lifted up my spirits from a simple conversation about belief and guidance and how I had a blast rocking out to Green Day's "American Idiot" on stage. Also, I want you to laugh your guts out to a joke that I tell about Oprah with no apologies whatsoever. 

Greetings, fellow listeners. For the first time in a long time, it's literally Doc & Son shooting it up for five minutes on a quick drive to the house over the voice memo app on my phone inside my dad's car. We babble on about Doc's new hectic work schedule and the effect it's having on the family back at home and how we'll try our best to produce more episodes with the eponymous hosts and newer guests. Also, hear me relate my current life situation with Green Day's "Longview". 

Greetings, fellow listeners. I ride solo for the twentieth time as I spew to you how I'm gonna go see Jeff Ross, Roastmaster General himself, tomorrow at the Improv in West Palm Beach with my mom and previous guest Rene. Also, I honor the 50th birthday of Billie Joe Armstrong, kick-ass frontman of awesome-ass punk rock band Green Day, with my rendition of their masterpiece "Basket Case" from their hit album "Dookie".  

Fellow listeners and hapless fools, I go solo for the nineteenth time to give you a crucial Valentine's Day message: LOVE STINKS AND IT'S ALL A SHAM!!! Screw the soon-to-be forgotten Rams Super Bowl victory last night and realize that cynical self-pitiful people like you and me will never find ourselves a life partner and love is nothing but a fantasy and illusion. Let the J. Geils Band speak the truth to you all.
