One Way Conversation

In true One Way fashion, the last show of the week rambles on in odd directions. A little pep talk. The last pair of pants. Sneakers & sweaters in the office. Giving birth to a new product. Has Caddyshack been cancelled? Looking for meaning in a sea of Tik Toks & brainstorming how OWC could use it.

Get lost, Houston. Who would you pardon? “Crimes” of my youth. A trippy book by Thomas Pynchon. The conversation surrounding Parasite & what your take says about you.

A One Way President’s Day celebration. The latest last word on the cheating Astros & their guardian angel in the commissioner’s office. Another group of crooks that my budding business: criminal consultants, llc, could have saved from themselves.

The doctor mails it in. Dealing with a kid’s party as a guest. Holding onto your hobbies. Recalling Sunday Pour’s movie talk from last week & the controversy that followed (Ron Dean is the “Brian Dennehy type”)

Welcoming back Rick Moranis & questioning the ethics of Wayne Szalinkski. An honest look at Little Giants. An accidental aside on 1960s character actors (apologies to Warren Oates). Why are romantic movies generally awful? Celebrating the best & thanking Bogart for his sacrifice. Parting shot at the local weatherman because it’s been too long.

A pure Monday struggle of a show. Umbrellas & unnecessary hellos. Eminem shows up at the Oscars & the rest of the show is exactly what you’d expect. The good, the bad & the questionable practices & production of Hollywood’s Super Bowl.

Listen to Sunday Pour....quick notes on yesterday’s show & an AM radio surprise.

In which I completely ignore my notes and rally off a classic: Misplaced trust & a forgotten panic. Remembering trashy TV & Pamela Anderson’s resume. Names you can’t stand. A very real fear as I’m about to take a serious in-home risk.

The football season has ended - check out Sunday Pour for a full recap. A couple extra notes while we accept life without football-real football-once again. The odd neighbor. The Super Bowl tradition 1990-2020.

Check out Sunday Pour’s Super Bowl episode.

Basketball is beginning it’s recovery....The office coffee follies continue...waiting to benefit from the coronavirus...don’t be fooled, Mike Bloomberg is not like us.

Last night on TNT, the NBA crew pulled together for an on screen wake for the late Kobe Bryant. Aside from some road rage, I stick mainly to recounting this heartbreaking hour of TV.

Continuing the impossible task of putting the Kobe Bryant tragedy into words. Words on death & loss. Wrapping my mind around his reach and impact. A few words on motivation, drive, excellence, the pursuit of greatness & facing failure. (Note: I used the word ‘quasi’ incorrectly in this episode)

A subpar attempt to talk about a tragedy that defies words. In no way could I do the sudden deaths of Kobe & Gianna Bryant the justice they deserve or even begin to make sense of it but we get through somehow & hopefully take a few lessons from lives ended too soon.

Not really a show: go check out Sunday Pour. I just talked a little about finding our footing within our format on the new show & a little on the upcoming weekend & the loss of football for 7 months.

Shots fired in the office coffee wars. Thursday news dump: Seton Hall wins their 9th straight, Zion debuts, Jeter & Mo, Eli makes it official, Doomsday clock day, Harry & Meghan, American heroes. Follow @sundaypour

Mourning the end of the football season as we give into the pageantry. Derek Jeter is near perfect & Larry Walker is in at the buzzer but both are hall of famers. Throwing in the towel on debating hall of fame merit.

Championship weekend is in the books. KC does it again, the 9ers party like its 1973...and here’s to the losers: Tennessee & Green Bay. The Nets’ transition to the big time. Is the HOF ready to take this big step?

Scanning the dial and giving the weekend’s picks.

Random feats of everyday athletic achievement returns. The Hall hits their stride. Odell the Booster does more harm than good, the NCAA’s predictable overreaction. All hands, again. The Democrats’ doom.

The XFL is on deck. Podcast challenges. The made up Vince Vaughn controversy is the latest victim in political dodgeball. The Mets questions left in the wake of all this sign stealing & the MLB’s crack down.

Thoughts on the Astros, the Red Sox & what it means for the Yankees. Looking at electronic sign stealing through a lens tinted by a century of cheating. A kind request for less lecturing from baseball’s hypocrites. The painful truth all Astro players now face.

Stupidity through the ages and how Facebook has allowed society to maintain the charade. The final four are set in the NFL...the big weekends for KC, TEN, GB & SF.

Picks & tunes on the ride home
