Quiet Cracking (MM #5252)
It’s an understatement to say the pandemic changed our views on work. This battle isn’t just baby boomers versus Gen Z. Today, everyone’s opinions on the work-life balance have changed. Many companie…

Too Tired (MM #5251)
I know many people have struggled with the oppressive heat this summer, especially at night. Some nights I go to bed and it’s still 80° outside. Well, I haven’t had a problem dealing with the heat wh…

Crying (MM #5250)
August is always one of my favorite months for sports. No major sports are in the playoffs. College sports aren't back on the field. But the young ones are doing what they can to head to Pennsylvania…

Fashionable (MM #5249)
We usually associate teenagers with the need to be fashionable, but as many parents learn going through the back-to-school season, that desire starts much earlier in life. Kids need to fit in. And sa…

Mushroom Coffee (MM #5247)
It may sound like I'm nitpicking here, but bear with me. Recently, I've seen some ads for a new product, or at least I think it's new, called RYZE mushroom coffee. Actor Neil Patrick Harris has starr…

Done So Much (MM #5245)
I'm a very blessed person. I'm not saying that I've accomplished a lot, but I have done so much. Following my father around the country throughout his broadcast career, then into my 20+ year career, …

No Harm (MM #5244)
Whenever I'm under the weather, my wife reminds me that there'd be no harm if I were to miss a day of the podcast. It's not like it's a job. I don't get paid to do this. And it's not like I'd be disa…

Managers (MM #5243)
When it comes to the workplace, there are two kinds of people: managers and people who report to them. Now technically, I’m oversimplifying things. And there’s a significant shift going on in the wor…

Thoughts On Hobbies (MM #5242)
If you've followed the podcast, even for just a short time, you know I can head down internet rabbit holes at the blink of an eye. I was scrolling through Facebook the other day and saw a survey that…

High School Diploma (MM #5241)
It’s hard to believe, but I’ve been out of school roughly 2/3 of my life. While I recall some aspects of both high school and college, many of the details are a blur. They occurred so long ago. Recen…

Runners (MM #5240)
I may be oversimplifying things here, but essentially, you can categorize the world into two types of people: runners and non-runners. I say this in jest, but I do believe there's some truth to the s…

Coffee Makers (MM #5237)
I'm sure I've talked about this before, but I'm not much of a coffee drinker. I'll drink it in social situations, but I don't start my day with a cup or two. I've always been more of a tea fan. Iced …

Mowing Lawns (MM #5236)
When I was a teenager, I used to earn extra money mowing lawns. And we didn’t have a gas-powered mower. I had one of those old push mowers. But I didn’t mind. A few extra bucks in my pocket gave me a…
