Skilled Gentlemen Podcast

It seems likes we are hearing a lot now about identity theft and how it is getting more and more prevalent.  We are on the cusp of Christmas and this means there is more shopping that will be happening online.  As gentlemen we should know how to guard against identity theft.  17.6 million Americans over the past few years have been victims of identity theft.  There is a possibility that they could have done a few things different or they could have guarded against a way that the identity thieve, they wouldn't have been a victim.  The fact of the matter is there is not a 100% way that we can guard against identity theft but there are steps we can take to make it harder to get our information.  We have to keep our information safe and keep our lives from being ruined from an identity thieve.  There are thousands of ways, I'm going to talk about a few.

What to look out for

Remember that I am taking the last 2 weeks off of December from the podcast.  I will still have Email service, and I will be on the Facebook page.  I am just taking time away from the show.  The reason is because I need to do some reflection and figure out where I want the show to go next year.

The post Preventing Identity Theft appeared first on Skilled Gentlemen.

Halloween is a holiday that is deeply rooted in traditions.  Trick or treating, carving pumpkins, and dressing up are all ancient traditions.  Traditions that you may not be familiar with.  Halloween traditions that are being celebrated today, just in a different manner.  So why do we not look back and remember what we are really celebrating?  For people like me, it is a time to watch old horror movies, drink beer, and hang out with friends.  For children, it is a time of sugar comas and running around after dark.  Why not, as a parent and a gentleman, take a moment this year and speak to your children about the ancient history of our beloved holiday.  Take a moment to educate yourself and your friends about why this is not a devil worship holiday.  More importantly, enjoy your Halloween holiday.  Eat candy, drink beer, and watch some old movies that makes you question our fashion sense back in the day.

The post The History of Halloween appeared first on Skilled Gentlemen.

In the whole theme that I have created this week is revolving around one of my all time favorite holidays.  The last podcast that I did was Ghost Stories 2015 and those were really just stories.  Stories that may or (most likely) may not be true.  What I am going to talk about today is real.  These stories were started and became legends because they are true.  Urban Legends are stories that are passed down and sometimes hard to track whether or not they are true.  I have found either one or two sources that verify that it really happened.  So the scariest part of this whole thing is the fact that these urban legends are completely true.

The post Scary Urban Legends That Are True appeared first on Skilled Gentlemen.

Playing along with the season that is Halloween, I am going to tell a few ghost stories.  There is not going to be anything to ghost stories 2015 that is going to educate you or expand your mind.  I decided that it is a fun holiday and ghost stories have always been my favorite past time during this holiday, and I wanted to share with you these stories I found.  Not just a few stories that I wanted to share with you, but some of my past and my feelings on related things like horror movies and horror based video games.  I also dive into my high school years when a bunch of us guys sat around on a saturday night and played horror video games while eating tacos and soda.  This is Halloween.  Dress up, go to parties, have fun, and drive safe!  Do not be an idiot that decides to drive drunk and end up killing someone.

This will be a tradition for us.  Ghost Stories 2016 will happen one year from today.  Let me know if you really enjoy this and I will keep them coming year after year.
