As we come out of a long 3-day weekend celebrating Labor Day in the U.S., Bill has his eye on some unique festivals happening in September. 

Dave worked hard to make another batch of Red Beans and Rice in the hopes that he'll get a better review this time. 

It was week 1 of college football and there was a lot to discuss as Lee Corso capped off his career at College GameDay and some teams need to hit the practice field to work it out and figure out a few things before week 2. 

Despite the hubbub created by a CEO at the US Open when he snagged a hat from a player meant for a child, it has all been worked out between the player and child. 

Bill got to work on making a meal on a Blackstone grill for the first time. He wanted some input from some other more experienced grill masters as well. 

Dave did some grilling over the weekend as well but it didn't work like he thought it would. 

Bill suggested some healthier pizza options for Dave but Dave was out when he heard the word, "healthy". 

Carmen shared some interesting findings in a survey on generational preferences for a 4-day workweek. That led to a bit of discussion including Bill looking to answer the question, "What is work?" 

Your musical instrument may not work without the help of an elephant. Turns out that elephants are an important part of the puzzle when it comes to ebony. 

We can't do our work here at The JOY FM without your help. And we're gonna be doing things a bit differently for Sharathon this year.
