Street Curb Curiosity

A short "drama free" rant about what almost 3-out-of-4 of us hate about Social Media:  The Hate. Don't be anti-social like those comments you see on your feed; join the discussion on maybe why it exists and what we should do about it.

A rant about movies…not the plot but where you plotz to watch…in a theatre or on the couch. The drama, the comedy, the horror...about what you go through just to enjoy a flick.

A rant about the person we rant about the most:  The Boss One thing most people everywhere have in common..we complain about the boss.   Some are good, some are bad, some make it a career of being a "Total Jackass". A listening lesson about the people we love to hate. 

Breaker Breaker Good Buddy....words spoken by MILLIONS decades ago on CB Radio.  (Citizens Band Radio) My theory?  THIS was the FIRST version of social media and we didn't even know it.  If you're over 50, you'll love this trip down memory lane. If you're under 50, it's a peek into what social media was BEFORE mobile phones, Twitter, Facebook, Clubhouse, etc. My analog analogy of ho...

We complain just about everything...including people who complain.   What's our biggest gripe? What are some of our daily issues?  We discuss a bunch, plus the people who complain (like us), a way to solve the drama, and a little experiment to solve global whining. A bit of show inspiration came from a great Clubhouse chat with some swell PR folks in the Philly Chit Chatter room, moderat...

For National (World?) Pizza Day (2/9), a pipin' hot episode on THE global basic food group:   Pizza Let's take a bite out of the history, share our favorite crust, tasty and unsavory toppings, cheesy jokes and just how much of this stuff we eat. Answer for mystery joke:   "When it's good it's good, m and when it's bad...it's still pretty good" (entire joke in the podcast) LINKS My childh...

No joke; it's something we can all do with our eyes closed:  Sleeping! (okay joke).  Something we all complain about...and don't get enough of. Let's rant about why we always talk about it, why it's good, how much were getting and how to "do it" better.

The snow is pretty and fun, unless it's YOUR job to shovel this stuff. Let's chat about the ways to a clean sidewalk and driveway.  Some you know, some are...let's say unique. This podcast is the clean up after the original SNOW STORM podcast; which you can find here: https://anchor.fm/stcurbcuriosity/episodes/The-Big-Snow-Job---hmm-I-mean-Storm-entfjh 

The past, present and future walk into a bar...it was TENSE . A quick sip of the drama, desire, experience and politics of having a drink at a bar in our new viral world; all in the time it would take to enjoy that martini. (probably shaken AND stirred). Cheers! NOTE: Thanks to some of the bars and restaurants of South Beach, Florida.  The inspiration for the episode.  You peeps are pros...

So what's it like to be hip-deep on holiday in the real rona world right now?  A pool-side drink-in-hand audio dive into travel, hotel Hell and the entire vacation situation....including people! (yes them) And no need to be asking about masking....we "cover" that too. (see what I did there?) A travel trust from Philly to Florida.  God help us all.

The things we say every day:  We know them, we love them...we find a good use for them.  (Well, two-out-of-three isn't bad. ) Sayings and Cliches.  Let's explore and make fun of a few dozen of them from our personal and business lives. Don't judge a book by it's cover; listen to the podcast! ;0)

We've been using foul language for hundreds of years.  But can we do a podcast about bad words "without" using any of them?  You may be cursed if you don't listen and find out! ;0)

Regardless of what you do or where you live, we all have this in common:  We do laundry.  In this episode, we talk about how we always talk about doing it.  We have trivia, tips and some of the real dirt in this fun household activity.  Don't worry, we keep it clean! ;0)

"What goes up must comes down."   Just like gravity...also true for Christmas decorations. They may look great, but the day comes when the glitter goes away.  But when?  There is some rationale to the dates and crazy Christmas chaos of decorating.  We talk about it in this episode. As promised in the episode; find the marketing czar, the  "CMO Whisperer" Steve Olenski...

We've been making and breaking them for a few hundred years:  New Year Resolutions We talk about our projected self-improvement in 2020 (yes THAT year) and why it's so freakin hard to make the magic happen...and stick. Podcast mention: Marketing Genius Steve Olenski ; and his 2021 resolution.  His site: https://www.cmo-whisperer.com/ 

We talk about the weather more than anything else.   So...we'll talk about the weather and whether it drives you and the people we know and love crazy. A bellwether on how nuts our day will be. (See what I did there?)

Feedback to the Christmas show highlights the definite need of a second round...of drinks and talking about our relatives. This extra episode is like that small extra gift under the tree..stuck in the back and filled with fashion, food, a little (very little ) politics and apparently a drink needed with each relative we examine.  Merry Christmas, and good luck.  We'll need it with the 20...

Remember, every family has one weird relative…every group has the one strange friend.   If you don’t know who it is…it's probably you.  We talk about all the seasonal strangeness of the people in our lives. One footnote: The one person we DO NOT cover?  The political animal.   Regardless of your persuasion...lighten up. 100% of the team (me) voted to keep it off the podcast. &n...

When the flurries fly people can get crazy...With work, school, shoveling, traveling and the old "better buy some eggs, milk and bread".  We shovel it pretty deep in this episode about how we act when the snow falls.  Bonus: some foul language resolutions and some stupid dad humor too!

Some are a little too tight...some are a tad too loose.   I'm not talking about friends (even though I could), I'm talking wrapping holiday gifts.   The good, the bad and the very ugly wrapping done this time every year.  Remember, it's the gift that counts...not how it looks.  And we talk about all the tape you use in this episode.

You listen to them, you love them...and now you want to do you own?  Some quick ideas on how to get started, plus some trivia and insight into the audacious audio world known as podcasting. The podcast shows I referenced: John Duffin/ Your Message Received :  Ben Shapiro Show   Joe Rogan: Now on Spotify Freakonomics   Mac Power Users Guys We "F****D"

It's Nat'l Mutt Day (12/2) in the USA.  We discuss the 3.3 million pups who are looking for a home and their pedigree....but also OUR pedigree.  How much of a mutt are you?  I share my DNA results...let's chat about what kind of dog I am...and you may be. For the 4 legged mutts, it's always a great day to give one a good home.  In Philadelphia (where this podcast comes from), y...

How is a password like a toothbrush?  You should never share them...and get a new one every few months. We talk about all the fun and the facts we have remembering and using passwords.  They're part of daily life and they're our rave for a few minutes in this episode.

You know them...distracted people who "OH LOOK...A SQUIRREL!!!!"   Yes we know them, we love them...and in some cases those people are us. A rather unfocused 10 minutes on being...well unfocused.

Part 2 of the 100th Birthday celebration of Radio.  In this segment, we talk (nicely of course) about the people who listen.  You may be one of them...  You ready to face the music?
