(Note: This episode needed editing and was missing the cold open and opening theme music. There was this 30 second gap where no sound is heard. I took out as many barking noises as I could then I tightened it up a decent amount. With that said, enjoy the show!)This episode has the first appearance of my wife, Laura, as the co-host and daughter, Norah, as producer. We aim to talk about Kenny Loggin...

I brought this episode back because I wanted to improve on it by trimming the file. I had long pauses and I was a little redundant at times. What I needed was an outline. Oh well! I kept the commentary short on some songs and added a cold open before the theme song. Instead of a bell ringing at the start of the song, there is now a gong. Overall, I trimmed 10 minutes from the original episode. A l...

Hi there! Blur vs. Oasis was all the rage in the United Kingdom during the mid 1990s. This was fought in the UK tabloids. Someone from Blur did this and someone from Oasis did that.

I forget the most of the actors in Top Gun. The term stunt dancing comes up. Then, finally, o...

First, I want to say I am back to creating more podcasts. The break was involuntary due to family and illness. My voice and creativity are here again. I thought I lost this episode, so it could be my “lost” episode. It could also be called Amazing Grace, once lost now is found. So, this album battle is two LPs from one person, Bryan Adams. The contenders are Reckless (1984) and Into The Fire (1987...
