STORYTIME WITH STEVE

I've worked in the television business for many years. Most of the people I have worked with have been great team players and we enjoy producing newscasts and our profession. However, there are a couple of people I would not want to work with again for sure. Here is one such story about that experience.

This one almost sounds like the beginning of a classic horror movie. Several college friends decide to go out on a mountain drive adventure one night. What happens when they get there is pretty spooky to say the least.

When we bought our first house, we had the nosiest of neighbors that lived across the street, Harold and Arlene. It was more than just staring out the window at us, a LOT more. Check this episode out to see how bad it became.

I previously reviewed the Mayans M.C. show, the follow-up to Sons of Anarchy. Recently I have been dropping in and out of watching certain episodes of Sons of Anarchy again. And I'm just as impressed with the depth of the show and how they made it. I revert to what I said comparing it to Mayans MC. There really is no comparison. Mayans MC on its best day ever is only maybe 20% of what Sons was.

Sometimes when people tend to run their mouths off to others, they get what they deserve. In this case, the guilty party did this routinely every day, mercilessly. Then one day he met a surprising foe who challenged him.

It was one of those nights. It's Saturday all is well, and then.....Vols 2nd half did not bode well at all, then I get a call from my mechanic to pile on to my misery.

It's that time of year! At my house we love October and Halloween season. This story chronicles a true life journey of 5 teenagers seeking out a rumored haunted house on Hart Rd. near Farragut-Knoxville, TN. We set out in a tiny 1977 Toyota Celica and came out alive, barely. The episode image is NOT an actual picture of the house! Keep in consideration this was in the 1990's when smart phones and...

I know what you're thinking. Nope! This is a lovely story about a lovely lady, Well, ugh not so much. Ok, ok, she was NOT a lovely lady, as my dad once said about someone else "she was not blessed with great beauty". Not only that, she was not lovely to deal with as a coworker. She was a jealous, vindictive, person as you will hear. Hang on for the ride.

I'm all about getting a good deal. But sometimes when searching for that deal, things don't work out as planned and that's when people can get upset. Check these stories out to find out what happens.

Well, it wasn't pretty. The amazing 2022 season seems a long, long time ago now. With many games yet to play, we shall see if the Vols can get it together after the anemic showing at the Swamp Saturday night.

This podcast we will talk some college football and have key points about the upcoming game against the Florida Gators, and how the Vols season is going so far.

In 1994, Carol Neulander was murdered in her living room in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. 8 years later, her husband Rabbi Fred Neulander was convicted of hiring 2 men to murder his wife. I've been reading a book that was written about this lately and it urged me to do a short synopsis of the story and my take on it.

Doing something different today. Here's a short review of the TV show Mayans MC. I watched Sons of Anarchy before this show and was a fan. This was a spinoff of sorts but a totally different show as I will explain.

It's still 1994, the night of the great "Ice Storm of 94" in Knoxville, TN. And my buddy and I are still wasting our time and others with these amazing crank calls. This last part of the series haunts fast food restaurants with calls about some oddities in our french fries.

Somewhere in time....This was probably 1996. Our crank calls continued to be a very immature and unworthy use of our time. But you'll want to check this out to see if we can get the dancer audition set up!

It was supposed to be such a great bonding time for my sons and I. I wanted to take them on a charter type fishing trip while we were vacationing at the beach a couple of years ago. Things definitely didn't turn out how I'd hoped.

You've worked hard, ready to go home and eat your dinner. Then tragedy strikes. The hot, steaming, delectable turkey sandwich sub you just bought-well, you'll have to listen to see what happens.

SOMEWHERE IN TIME....1991. This was an interview I conducted in high school as a school project for a public speaking-speech class, believe it or not. The subject retains anonymity and his voice was altered to protect his identity. I was a kid at the time, so my voice was slightly altered from what it is today as well!

3 teens sit in the driveway one day. 2 of them dare the other kid to do something. He takes the dare, with a scary confrontation as the outcome. Check the story out to see what happens.

It was a very cold evening, the year was 1994. The storm would later be called "The Ice Storm of 94". A friend of mine and I were sitting in my apartment and thinking up very useful ways to spend the evening. Making prank calls, The days before caller ID and cell phones took over the world and our attention. This is part 1 in a 3 part series of these calls.

You know the saying, "Don't cry over spilled milk." Well, this is my take on a high school happening I witnessed from beginning to end. Just remember-Don't FIGHT over spilled milk!

I began playing in rock bands in my early teens. I had dreams of "making it big" one day, especially during the 1980's music phenomenon and heyday of the MTV music video era. But sadly the dream died one day. Here's my story.

When you have children, you want the very best care for them. If you're not there, hopefully family members can be there to help you out. If you have no family to help you, then you have to hire babysitters. Ugh, yeah. The good, the bad, and the VERY ugly helped us over the years. Here are a few highlights of the drama-filled babysitter nightmares.

You're ready to watch some fireworks on the 4th of July, then a large strange man walks up and asks for a favor. What should you do? Lend a hand and be a friend, or trust your instincts? Listen to find out all of the stinky details!

While working for the Kroger company, a man walks up and wants lobster for dinner-LOTS of them!
