Verbal Shenanigans

We are joined by returning guest, Coach Jim Johnson.  You may remember clips of Coach Johnson on ESPN when he put his autistic manager, J-Mac into a basketball game and he shot the light out.  Since then, Coach has gone on to become an accomplished author, motivational speaker, and advocate for inclusion.  We discuss Jim's work with teaching leadership, we get an update on J-Mac, and we talk basketball.  Have a listen!

We also talk about Scott's drunk friend "Steve", Scott's high school teacher who assigned projects on serial killers, and more elementary school memories.  

Oh, no big deal,we are just chatting with legends today. We have the pleasure of talking with Doug "Cosmo" Clifford, drummer for the one and only Creedence Clearwater Revival.  We talked about everything from the early days of Creedence, to playing 25 years with Revisited, what Woodstock was like, and more.  We also talk about Doug's re release of his  album,  Magic Window, a solo album he recorded in 1985 and updated in 2020 on April 17, 2020.  Doug was open, passionate, and a true honor to interview.  Check it out!  

Today we will be talking with Kathi Tait, AKA The Bald Warrior. Kathi is an author, speaker, & transformative coach. Kathi will be discussing her struggles growing up after a family tragedy and developing Alopecia that led her in starting the Bald Warrior Movement to educate people on fighting social norms surrounding body image. We discuss when she gained her confidence, illness stereotypes, love of educating audiences, and her sweet dragon tattoo on the side of her head.  Check her out!

We also discuss some amazing events that were canceled, such as Nude Fest, we discuss a NASCAR driver getting himself in trouble, and more of our thoughts on the pandemic.

We also talk about quarantine, power washing, and Scott’s dog.  Oh yea, Scott has a massive announcement! Have a listen.

More bonus content! Today, we are joined by Kyle Croxall, a Red Bull Crashed Ice athlete.  If you haven't seen crashed ice, you really need to go on Youtube immediately.  We talk with Kyle about the growth of the sport, how he balances being a firefighter and an athlete, and where the sport is heading.  Make sure to go check out Kyle today.

We also talk quarantine, Burlew's early days of inventing, and a whole slew of other topics.  Have a listen!

  We are joined by make up and special effects legend, Howard Berger.  Howard's resume is undeniably amazing.  Whether it's the Walking Dead,  Breaking Bad,  the Chronicles of Narnia, Kill Bill, countless legendary horror movies, or even the upcoming Space Jam 2, Howard's fingerprints are all over these films.  Howard was funny, smart, and had endless amazing bits of conversation ranging from his origins, advice to young kids trying to break into the SFX world, to opening KNB EFX Group with Greg Nicotero.  Truly, this is one of the best interviews we have done.  Check it out.

We also talk about how we are holding up during the quarantine, Georgia's ignorance towards the virus, and Scott's attempt to prepare for a virtual comedy show.  

Today, we bring more bonus content as we all work our way through this quarantine together.  We go down under to talk to Eliza Klatt of the band Eliza and the Delusionals.  We talk to our new Australian friend about the origins of the band, touring with Silversun Pickups, and what the quarantine is like in Australia.  Eliza was fun, charming, and  really fun to talk to.  Go check out their new album,"A State of Living in Objective Reality" today. 

Inspired by Tiger King, we also talk about crazy animals stories we have experienced including Scott being bit by a cat, Burlew being mauled by one, a man named the Heroin King, and a moose excursion gone wrong.  Check it out!

Today, Verbal Shenanigans morphs into a true crimepodcast on a very special episode. Today, we chat with Jenny Carrieri as she tells us her heart felt story about Jody LeCornu, her twin sister, being murdered. She gives details about the facts of the case, the issues in the investigation, and why after 24 years the case is still open. We discuss Jenny’s feelings on the law enforcement, the rumors on what could have occurred, and her continued work to try and close this case (including taking an idea from Three Billboards). This was an amazing discussion on a family tragedy.

You need to hear this episode.

We hope that all of listeners are healthy and safe out there.  Today, we talk a lot about our thoughts on the Covid 19 epidemic, quarantine, and where we all go from here.  But, in true Verbal Shenanigans fashion, we interview a lady famous for making enormous cheese sculpture.  We are joined by Sarah Kauffman, world renowned cheese sculptor.  Sarah has made cheese sculptures of all sizes, for people of all walks of life, and for events as large as the Super Bowl.  Have a listen and stay safe!
