Are you a fan of movies like the Hangover and Jackass series? How about David Sedaris or Dave Barry? If so, prepare to be a fan of Jake O'Donnell, author of Walk Like a Man(iac). Jake dares to bare his pre and post pubescent soul as he reflects upon the many "firsts" of his journey towards adulthood and beyond. He does this with great deprecating humor and detail, allowing us to laugh along with him about experiences most males (and most females) can identify: first kisses, first brushes with the law, first alcohol, first Mrs. Robinson. It's funny, it's awkward, it's real. O'Donnell shares some these seminal moments with Boomer and makes Jimmy Ahmahdoofus feel less uncomfortable about his own youthful transgressions.

Joel Gibbs is a veteran voice over artist who has tickled your ears with over 40,000 audio projects heard globally. He truly has done it all and often with celebrity voices.

Enroute to her next load pickup, semi owner/operator Misty Danner Johnson shares her experiences over the road, including how to avoid the danger of retread explosions, why she loves traveling across America hauling up to 80,000 pounds of freight, and whether she'd recommend the life of a trucker to others.

"We [casino workers]get people wasted, take their money away from them, and then the casino owners want us to take an ethics class. Who's teaching that class, Britney Spear's dad?"

That's part of the hiarious conversation with Keith Lyle (don't miss part 1), a standup comedian who previously spent 25 years working in Las Vegas casinos. Keith also shares stories about customers who defecated at his craps table and about a celebrity who was taken from his table in handcuffs.

"It's like asking Tiger Woods to teach Driver's Education." That's how standup comedian Keith Lyle describes some of his ethics training as a casino worker back in the day. Lyle, who also has had small parts in movies like "The Hangover," shares his stories as a craps dealer in Las Vegas.

"If your arms stay down, I'll be a part of this conversation," says 40 year career official Tom Starr to amped coaches who want a piece of him during a high school sports contest. That technique for deescalating conflict is just some of the wisdom Tom imparts in this episode that explores highlights from his volleyball/softball/basketball officiating career along with discussion about the crisis in high school sports officiating.

"You've officiated four different high school sports? You officiated them for 40 years? Four heaven's sake!!"

Not only has Keith Medema officiated for four decades, in three of those four sports he was selected to officiate state final contests.
