Fellow listeners, for going solo for the eighteenth time I have an important message to all you people living in La La Land: Dream small, people. Dream small or don't dream at all.

Cheerio, fellow audible listeners of the listening lobe. A really special edition of the podcast is presented to you by mother and I as we jibber jabber with official guest number eighteen: Robert Sealey, a fellow Englishman residing in South Beach working as a software developer for the county government. We have a smashing hour gabbing about how Robert and I came together, his residency history in America, his perspective on the culture and society in the UK, and our common interests in British pop culture. 

Greetings, fellow listeners. Quite a while since I took the controls by myself. For the seventeenth time, I tell y'all what a blast I had at Tea & Poets the previous Wednesday night by riling up the crowd with "Paradise City" by Guns N' Roses and how I've become fascinated with a spiffy regular at the venue and would like to get to know her better. Start off the weekend with my rendition of "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" by Green Day.

Greetings, fellow listeners. For the fourth time in a row, this was recorded on the Voice Memo app on my phone in the bedroom of my grandparents' house with Mom occasionally filling in for Doc. This conversation was captured the day just before Groundhog Day so Groundhog Day is what we chewed the fat on. For all those out there hoping that Punxsutawney Phil doesn't see his shadow, don't forget to set your alarms to 6 AM with "I Got You, Babe" by Sonny & Cher to give you high hopes for an early spring (Note: Be sure to watch the Bill Murray classic once you arise).

Greetings, fellow listeners. For the third consecutive time, this episode was recorded on the Voice Memo app on my phone in the bedroom in my grandparents' house with Mom filling in for Dad as always. We chat about the events of my grandmother's birthday, the change of plans for upcoming events in the household, how my second job interview the day before went, and how I was originally supposed to be at the West Palm Beach Improv tonight to see the stand-up of late comedy legend Bob Saget. 

Greetings, fellow listeners. Another episode uniquely-recorded on the Voice Memo app on my phone in the bedroom at my grandparents' house with Mom filling in Doc's seat as usual. This conversation tackles topics from my grandmother's upcoming birthday this Wednesday and our plans to celebrate with her, our opinions on how senior citizens of all classes should be taken care of and illegal immigration in the country, and how my grandmother's previous birthday from two years ago coincided with the tragic death of basketball legend Kobe Bryant. LONG LIVE BLACK MAMBA!!!

Greetings, fellow listeners. This is a very unique episode for a very particular reason: this episode was recorded on the voice memo app on my phone at my grandparents' house. I then recorded the recording of the conversation on my phone onto the microphone of my podcast on Audacity  and then edited the entire thing. This episode once again involves my mom filling in Doc's seat while he's still away at work. We converse about how 2022 is treating us so far, the stress my mom deals with from taking care of both my grandparents 24/7, the one-year anniversary of Biden's presidency and how he's handled the nation over the past year, what's to continue happening throughout the year, and hanging out with my bro Rene the night before at hot venue and coming across two spiffy ladies (If you hear a constant whirring noise, it's my grandparents' maid vacuuming across the hall in the other room). 

Greetings, fellow brothers and sisters of all races from all places. Happy belated Martin Luther King, Jr. Day! I honor the memory of the late doctor by conversing with the seventeenth official guest of the pod: my next-door neighbor Mariano Oliver. As usual, Doc's away at work so Mom keeps his seat warm and the conversation at a good flow (With Duke the dog poking his wet nose in the chatter). Hear us get to know Mariano much better than through just texts and passing by one another as he gives us the lowdown on living amongst us in the same gated community, his love and passion for sports, raising two adolescent daughters as a divorced dad, professionalizing the role of a wine connoisseur and agreeing to taste test wines the next time he returns.

Dedicated to...

The would've-been 80th birthday of the honorable Muhammad Ali (Unforgotten legend in the ring with a butterfly float with a mean bee sting)

January 17, 1942 - June 3, 2016

P.S.,

Listen to the song "Happy Birthday" by R&B legend Stevie Wonder to commemorate the legacy of the late, great MLK

Greetings, fellow listeners. I go solo again for the sixteenth time on the same week. Hear me again as I once more sing "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" from the comedy classic "Monty Python's Life of Brian" in honor of late, great comedy legend Bob Saget, who was good friends with former Python member Eric Idle. Listen to the song and take it to heart.

Check it out for Bob:

"Bob Saget's Here For You" (Available on all podcast platforms)

Greetings, fellow listeners. I speak solo to you again for the fifteenth time. Today, I open up to you on my despair about the passing of comedy legend Bob Saget, who passed away on January 9th in Orlando at age 65, and hear me explain why he was so special and why we mustn't forget about him forever. Also, I cherish the memory and legacy of African-American acting legend Sidney Poitier, who died four days prior to the previous episode in the Bahamas at age 94, and listen to me as I explain why he was an iconic figure in cinema history and a crucial figure to black history in the United States. May God rest them both.

In loving memory...

Sidney Poitier (A man who effected and defended an entire race)

February 20, 1927 - January 6, 2022

Bob Saget (A man who brought laughter and tears to all our faces and hearts)

May 17, 1956 - January 9, 2022
