Greedy Bastards

In the 1980s, we were taught, thanks to Gordon Gecko, that greed was good. When the 21st century came around, it took corporate America a few years to realize that concept was an actual working model and it put a lot of careers to an abrupt end. Mine too. At the time.

Of course I managed to find a way to carry on as have many others. For too many though, they have had to take on several jobs at once just to make the ends meet. Lives have been disrupted and a good number have had to find a way to make do with what little they have just because someone felt it necessary to have a new car from a bonus paid when the bottom line had to be met at the hands of workers who were making the money for someone else.

A sad and vicious cycle indeed. All at the hands of a generation of people who believed what they were told in the 1980s. It it gets worse. There is a generation amongst us that honestly believe the world owes them something just because they showed up. This group of entitlement people are the ones who are about to be in charge. But will they be?

Take a listen to what I have to say on the subject and see if there is any hope for our society.

Dean Zachary Just Might Be Batman

That is, of course, if Bruce Wayne isn't. This episode was a blast to do and I have been looking forward to getting this one out for a while now. Dean is a Memphian who illustrates comic books for DC and other companies. Jeff and I sat down with Dean and we talked about all sorts of geeky things.

From the influence of comic books on the movies, the future of the genre to our respective thoughts on Star Wars and Star Trek. Oh yeah, it's a geek fest and you are invited along for the ride.

Grab your Boba Fett blanket and curl up with some great stories and big fun with Dean Zachary.

If you would like to learn more about Dean, you can find his website HERE. His site includes samples of his art and more.

Coming up next week, thanks to a bad technical issue, I was forced to go mobile again and record the episode in the woods. Literally. Because of the failure of a rather important piece of equipment, we are making some adjustments to get ourselves back up to full speed.

Thanks to the benevolence of others, that will happen.

A Walk In The Park

Sometimes it is nice to go to the park, find a nice quiet spot and run your mouth about all sorts of things. However, in this episode I discovered, the moment I turned on the recorder, the batteries were almost dead. Nevertheless, the show must go on and it did.

Among the kids playing in the field, a man painting a picture and some other dude actually flying a quad copter drone around the park. As cool as that was, it was a bit unnerving.

I did however, reveal some small details of a project I am working on.

Next week, Jeff and I completely geek out with a Dean Zachary. Dean is a comic book illustrator who has done stories for DC comics. An absolutely fascinating look at the world of comic books and the movies they inspire.

Until then,

Stay tuned...

Beer Run

Come along with me on a beer & liquor run. I was forced out of the studio during an internet outage. Needing to record a show, I try and navigate the streets of Memphis without getting a case of road rage. What was amusing about doing this episode is that although it is rather short in length, it seemingly took forever to record it. You'll hear why in this show.

Sammy Marten Is Funny

Sammy Marten
Jeff and I invaded the famous P&H Cafe in Midtown Memphis where they have an open mic comedy show every Thursday night at 9:30. It's a free show and a large time. We got there long before the crowd showed up and we took the opportunity to sit down with Sammy Marten to talk about the craft of comedy, what his first time on stage was like and where the comedy business has taken him over the years.

We also got into his work on the big screen with his appearances in a couple of National Lampoon's projects.
