After a little break the boys chat it up about things going on in the sports world across the board and then do a series of different Top 5 lists. As always a bunch of laughs with these two it was nice to have them back behind the wheel again!

Mark and Matt field several phone calls from former guests, listeners and fans, and even a call for an expert at the CDC with an update on everything COVID-19 related.

They talk about sports and betting. Some food conversations and several jokes along the way.

Also, so if you were gonna send a pizza pie to someone out there fighting the good fight for our nation. Who would you send it to and how many do you send?

Mark is joined by his buddy and returning guest of the podcast, Dan Parker. Dan being a former chef, an advanced cicerone, Ragnar and marathoner he seemed like the perfect person to talk about the current situation we all find ourselves in and ways to eat healthy, stay active, and stay mentally sound as well.

Mark and Matt take a trip down memory lane and revisit a typical day circa 1998-2001 where the two of them would go to the Columbia Mall in the Chosen City, Grand Forks, ND.

From the greatest Wendys ever to the typical mall stores like musicland/sam goody, pacsun, American eagle, hot topic and etc. to the GF only type places like Golf Center, Pizza and Pasta, RCC Western and more.

Mark and Matt from Eden Prairie catch up after a couple weeks in a row with guests and they kick it off talking about Matt and his wife traveling to AZ via airplane for the first time with their 1 year old twin girls.

Mark then goes off on a rant about how dogs are basically recognized more as citizens of this country than small children and then the boys wrap the episode with some talk

A first ever for the Manners Optional Podcast, we are putting out two episodes a week for the near future as we all try to pass the time waiting for some answers and direction with everything going on in the world.

Mark and Matt talk about some of their Dream jobs they would like to have and although they had somewhat similar lists, and inline with their everyday interests, it is a subject they had never really talked about previously not just on the podcast but even over beers at the bar.

Now it has really sunk in for a lot of people that this coronavirus thing is real, there are still a lot of people that read the stats and they say it isn't that big of a deal. Mark doesn't agree with the latter, instead believing that a couple weeks at home to make sure you are safe is well worth it.

In order to be at home with no sports and no work to do for that many consecutive days you need to watch a lot of Netflix and comedy specials are some of the boys favorite things to watch and there are two really good specials coming out this week and next and so many more good ones to watch on there as well.

Mark is flying solo this week and he has Jim Stewart Allen on to talk about a sports character in Seattle that he is becoming well known for in Broccoli Guy.

That is right he dances outside of and inside of Seattle area professional sports and does so with different vegetables including his latest hit broccoli which has helped him grace the airwaves of ESPN and Jumbotrons too.

Mark and Matt start the episode with a little bit of sports talk before throwing it over to a conversation Mark had with Comedian Corey Adam who is based right here in Minneapolis, MN.

They have a whole bunch of laughs getting to know each other a bit and have as much in common as they don't!

You can figure you will all be hearing from Corey again in the near future as he is practically a neighbor of Mark and they both like talking......in case you can't tell.
