Sometimes it's hard to get to sleep.You just can't seem to say goodnight to yourself. Booze helps sometimes...or pills. But that's a big step down a bad street. "Good Night" puts a smile on your face, tells you a bedtime story, helps you chuck the day's problems, gives you a verbal back rub, and tucks you in for a safe, sound, sleep. Dick Summer's voice puts a strong and friendly arm around your shoulder. You hear him on television commercials all day. But when it's getting late, and you want to "take the day and shove it," but you can't seem to say good night to yourself... Dick's Podcast is a quiet place to rest your head...a safe place to hide a hurting heart...a gentle place to fall. It's a comfortable way to tell yourself, "Good Night."

Computer Craziness
no
My computer is telling me I have no more financial worries because a nice guy in Narobi wants to send me a big stack of money from my long lost 13th cousin because I seem to be his only blood relative. All I have to do is send this guy my banking numbers. How nice of him. And my future safety is assured because I sent a small donation to Pastor Peter. There\'s an endless supply of folks like these living in my computer. Their motto seems to be, \"If at first you don\'t succeed, try again when nobody is watching.\" Give a listen please.

Eschew Obfuscation
no
Eschew Obfuscation. Stay clear and simple. If you say somebody is \"Kool\" that doesn\'t mean he\'s \"Not so hot.\" \"Saw\" is a tool. But it\'s also a picture of something that got into your head via your eyesight a while ago...as in \"I saw a pretty lady.\" And if you see two \"Saws\" together you have a see saw. I saw a sign in a laundromat in Chicago a few years ago that said, \"Please remove all your clothes when the light goes out.\" That would be a great line some guy might use with his girlfriend at the end of a date. Here\'s a simple and clear invitation: Please give this podcast a listen.

The Tiny Dancer and The Mustache
no
She didn\'t recognize me...after all these years. Just because she hadn\'t seen me wearing a mustache. Little tiny hairs on the upper lip was all it took for a masterful surprise. This podcast explains how she actually swung her handbag at me...and missed...and what I did in return. Give a listen please. IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU.

Midtown Manhattan Ladies
no
Doing a late night radio show at NBC Radio\'s headquarters...30 Rock Center in Manhattan was an EDUCATION in more than just doing national radio. It was an education in what to do when groups of beautiful young women wanted to have sex, but my Lady Wonder Wench\'s picture kept popping up in my head. If some of you guys have a similar problem, you might learn some interesting lessons from listening. And if some of you ladies might be concerned about what your guys are doing in the middle of the night...maybe you should give a listen too.

That's Love

Once upon a time, I did a syndicated radio show called, \"That\'s Love.\" It was a long time ago...around the time I got my Lady Wonder Wench to run off with me to New York. I thought I had some pretty good answers to the subject of love, but Proud Podcast Person Deirdre Meritt sent me a bunch of answers from some 4 to 8 year old kids that sure beat what I had to offer. And some of them were just magic. The most magical are in this podcast.

A Little Applause Please
no
I\'ve always been a big fan of Peter Pan...\"The boy who wouldn\'t grow up.\" Actually, I\'m even more a fan of \"Tinkerbelle\" the fairy. She was hugely in love with Peter, but he wasn\'t having any of her, because he knew his girlfriend \"Wendy\" wouldn\'t appreciate it. The thing that\'s wonderful about \"Tink\" is that she knows Peter desperately needs some of her fairy dust. And she gives him almost all she has...to the point that she\'s so weak she could die. And the only thing that can help her is when you clap for her...that renews her stash of fairy dust. That\'s pretty generous. I like generous. This podcast explains how you can help \"Tink\" along with me...if you are so inclined. Please do.

If last week\'s podcast created a certain level of female dis-gruntle-ment, let\'s get the ladies gruntled again with this podcast.

no
Amy was a little kid who never caught a break...until the last hour of her life. It made me think of what I treasure most about life. The \"Gratitude Attitude\" at work. Sometimes you\'ve got to really think why an all powerful, all loving God would give a nice little kid like Amy something as terrible as Systic Fibrosis. Then it hit me...HARD. Give a listen to this podcast please. Maybe it will hit you just hard enough...to give God a break.

Here Comes The Sun
no
Once...on a crystal clear early winter night, when the wind was still, and the moon was almost full, I took my Lady Wonder Wench for a flight around Lady Liberty. Lady Liberty was lit and lovely in New York Harbor that night. And you know, sometimes in my imagination, when I close my eyes, I can almost see Lady Liberty looking out from New York Harbor all the way across... from sea to shining sea and it seems like I can hear her asking, \"What is happening to my people? What is making them so afraid. All of them. The great and the small. What is happening, and when will it be over? I don\'t have the answer to that question. This podcast says, \"I doubt that anybody really does.\" What do you think?

Why aren\'t there different seating arrangements for sections where the waiters have for sure washed their hands after using the toilet, and slightly cheaper meals at tables where we\'re not sure they washed their hands?

Sex With The Right Person
no
Proud Podcast Person Betsy Girl said...\"How you feel about sex depends on with whom you\'re having sex. It has to be with the right person.\" Right Betsy. And I think that\'s where the magic comes in. It\'s got to be with the right person. Or at least with someone who seems like the right person. I saw a survey once that said women would rather go shopping than have sex. I must question what would happen if they added Betsy\'s point to that survey. How would women have answered it if the question were, \"Would you rather go shopping or have sex with John Legend\" the answer might be different. That\'s what today\'s podcast is all about. Give a listen please.

Turn Up Your Tingle
no
\"The Times They Are A Changing\" as Mr. Dylan famously sang. Maybe it\'s the \"Magic Herb\" they sell in the drugstores that makes a pretty lady \"Putty in a guy\'s arms\"...while of course one pill also makes her so sexy his arms ache to hold her. Or maybe it\'s just something more personal that makes both guys and ladies go way \"beyond sensible command.\" That stuff is in this podcast. Give a listen please.

Peek A Boo's Point
no
The only game I like better than baseball is \"Peek-A-Boo.\" It\'s really a profound game. The point of it is, \"I see you.\" I think that\'s pretty important when we need to all put \"Social Distance\" between us. It\'s easy to lose sight of somebody standing 6 or more feet away. And this podcast admits I don\'t want to lose sight of certain people.

A fine fedora, a fancy bathrobe, and a megawatt smile from a pretty lady...and ZAP...I changed. I was feeling very down for some very real reasons, but the hat, the bathrobe and the smile made me stand up straight, stride right, and smile. This podcast explains it all.

no
This podcast is about my Lady Wonder Wench making a guy\'s glands crash, lending my mother my car and something new: Man Mouth vs. Women Words. Was it a man or a woman who said, \"Sex is the biggest nothing in the world.\" I\'ll tell you in the next podcast.

Story Man
no
Today\'s podcast says a stranger\'s white fedora sits on the night table right next to my Lady Wonder Wench\'s side of our bed. That strangers white fedora belongs to a sexy older guy who calls himself, Story Man. Story Man has a good strong body, a deep sexy voice, and he likes to wear that white fedora when he helps my lady get undressed for bed. While he\'s un-hooking her bra he likes to tell her silly little stories to make her giggle like...\"Do you know what you call kinky sex with chocolate... S&M&M.\" The stranger in the white fedora likes to watch her bounce a little when she giggles. I like that too. Any guy would like that. Then the stranger either reads to her from his special book, or he just tells her one of his sexy little short stories...with that voice that she admits first turned her on...a long time ago. Some times she gives him one of those looks that you could pour on a big, thick, chocolate cake. She likes that he watches her, as she climbs slowly and gracefully naked...into bed.

I\'m set to drive for another year. That\'s not the real reason for this podcast, but it is a fact. My good old car passed the state inspection...for the 16th time. My good old car is a little like me. It\'s old but it still works just fine. They tried to tell me there was a problem because of all the smoke belching out of the exhaust, but I told them that was a safety feature I installed. I told them there\'s so much smoke coming out of the exhaust that nobody rides my bumper. They kinda scratched their heads till I showed them my insurance papers. I\'m insured against collision, theft, and raiding hordes of Vikings. Give a listen to find out what this podcast is really all about.

Carefree Coffee Consumer
no
I am a carefree, confident, coffee consumer. I like coffee hot or cold, today\'s, yesterday\'s or last week\'s...as long as there\'s no crust on top. But some people go overboard about coffee. They talk about coffee like wine experts talk about wine...You\'ve heard them. \"Hey...this bordeau has nice legs.\" What the heck does that mean? Wine is made from grapes. If a grape has been around long enough to grow legs, it\'s been around way too long...I\'m not having anything to do with it. Go to a nice restaurant, and they go un-necessarily crazy over your coffee. \"May I warm this up for you?\" Sure. Do you have to...no. Coffee is good hot or cold, today\'s, yesterdays or last weeks. As long as it doesn\'t have a crust on top. Today\'s podcast says just relax and enjoy it.

Fondling Your Forehead
no
Time to tell your sexy friends...after hours and hours of exhaustive research, I have just found your new sexy spot. Your orbito frontal cortex is your new\"Sexy spot...your new Private Part.\" Your new sexy spot orbito frontal cortex is on your forehead just over your eyebrows. And it\'s directly connected to your limbic system. YOUR LIMBIC SYSTEM. That\'s the sexiest part of your whole brain. Your new sexy spot orbito frontal cortex is right above your eyebrows. Speaking of eyebrows, all hair...including eyebrows, grows in what\'s called follicules. So if your new sexy spot is right over your hairy eyebrows, I can imagine it will eventually cause guys in singles bars to slide over to you ladies and say \"Hello. I couldn\'t help noticing your eyes. Your eyes are as blue as the water in my toilet bowl. Do you mind if I fondle your follicules...my dear?\" Find out about this amazing discovery by giving this podcast a listen.

Going For a Drive

My buddy Al just said a very funny thing about my computer. He said \"you should turn it in to become a boat anchor.\" I\'ve had my computer for a long time, and I was having trouble understanding why I\'d want to use it as a boat anchor. Then he told me somethig really surprising. He said I shouldn\'t have to shovel coal into my compter any more. He said they make computers now that not only don\'t run on coal power, he said you don\'t even have to turn the crank to make them work. He said you just plug them into the socket on the wall and hit the start button and the screen comes on. He claims his computer even has a battery, and when that battery wears down, he does\'t throw it away, he leaves it connected to the wall outlet and it charges itself back up. Hard to believe. The rest of this podcast may be even harder to believe. Give a listen please.

Things On Your Mind
no
I keep hearing a very deep voice coming down from the sky saying, You tick me off. Go to your room and stay there till I tell you to come out. I keep hearing that over and over again these days. Lots of bad stuff going on right now. Everybody\'s talking about it. Actually, most people are emailing or texting about it...because very few people are talking to each other any more. I really hope God has as comfortable a black, manly, leather poppa chair in His living room, as I do. Because I think I just heard that deep voice saying, \"You tick me off. Look what you\'ve been doing to this lovely place I gave you. And look what you\'ve been doing to each other. Go to your room, and don\'t come out till I call for you.\" This podcast should be a help when you\'re feeling like that voice is speaking to you. Give a listen please.

You Beast
no
A lot of women are screaming \"You Beast\" at a lot of guys these days. And it\'s a justified accusation in lots, if not most cases. But not in the case of a big time News Network TV guy who was just hounded out of work. He\'s a news guy. Who, what, where, when, & why are the three \"W\" s of any news story. And the most important of them is Why. The Why is the motivation motor. Why did the President issue those pardons? Why does the drug store always put the prescription desk at the back of the store? Motivation. Why did General George Washington tell his men to \"Burn the boats\" on that godawful cold Christmas Eve long ago, when they were about to attack Trenton? What was his real motivation. It\'s the motive that counts most with how we really understand things. This podcast gets into motives.

This podcast explains, and it also contains a story about...Tears...for a very special Proud Podcast Person. Please give a listen.

Why Guys Can't Grow Up
no
Many people of all generations who are not guys will sometimes call those of us who are Louie Louie Generation guys \"Maturity Challenged.\" And they\'re right. But as this podcast explains, it\'s not our fault. The \"Big Louie Institute for Fooling Around and Figuring Most Things Out\" released a report recently that explains the whole thing. The report notes that a guy\'s brain is swimming in a sea of testosterone, which gives him a deep voice, a beard, and a hand just the right size for using a TV remote. The testosterone in which his brain swims also absorbs some of the shocks of life that sometimes hit him right in the head. Like a baseball, an unexpected blast of Yanni\'s music, or high levels of verbal communication. Now please remember, testosterone is a preservative. And what does a preservative do? It keeps meat and stuff from growing old and gnarly. And, of course, growing is another word for maturing. So naturally, a brain swimming in testosterone simply cannot grow and mature. It\'s not our fault. We\'re only guys. We do the best we can with what we have to work with.

Research
no
Which came first, the chicken or the egg. Don\'t take chances. RESEARCH. Go to your local McDonalds and order an egg McMuffin and a McChicken at the same time, and research which arrives first. Many people think the only thing men want in a relationship is sex. I\'ve researched that, and I\'ve found that sex isn\'t the only thing men want. They also want their laundry done. This podcast emphasizes the role of RESEARCH in our lives. Give a listen please. Research it.

No-Sex-Non-Sense
no
I\'m looking at an amazingly stupid statistic. It\'s from a General Social Survey. And it says that men between the ages of 18 & 29 are having less sex than ever...because they\'re afraid of approaching women for sex. And listen to this. The number of these guys has about tripled from 10% in 2008 to 28% in 2019. That means, almost 1 out of every three young guys are suffering from this No-Sex-Non-Sense...because they\'re afraid to try to talk a woman into bed. Thanks for dropping in here with me on my podcast. Let\'s play a little game. Say you\'re on a crowded airplane, the weather is really nasty, and the 25 year old Captain gets on the PA system and says, \"Don\'t worry folks I have everything under control.\" Confidence oozing from his voice. You have to have confidence in yourself to be a pilot. You have to be sure that whatever happens you\'ll be able to deal with it. Don\'t you wonder is your pilot is one ot the 30% of guys who\'s afraid to talk one of the stewardess into bed? If so, how much can you really depend on his him to keep control of the airplane? Here\'s another example: There are 11 players on a football team. Two teams so there are 22 players in the game. Most of them are in the 18 - 29 male demo. So next time you\'re watching two teams in an NFL game, try to figure out which 6 foot 300 pound guys on the field are afraid of women. Over in the MLB, 9 guys on each team, so which 5 guys spitting and scratching in their major league way, are afraid of women? On the basis of what little we know of his personal life, Derek Jeeter was not one of those guys.

Jiggling Giggling
no
One of several reasons I like making my Lady Wonder Wench giggle is how she...looks when she giggles. This podcast is also about the terrors of actually going to a gym, as opposed to just taking a gym membership. One way around that is instead of calling your bathroom a John, change the name to your Jim. That way you can always say, \"Yeah, I went to my Jim early this morning\".

Gratitude Attitude
no
Tired of looking for the glasses that are hiding on the top of your head? Tired of all the political BS that\'s screaming at us? Tired of being...tired? This podcast is about having a Gratitude Attitude instead. It\'s in my book, \"Staying Happy Healthy And Hot.\" When your legs are hurting, remember the military man or woman who came home without legs. When you\'re tired because the baby kept you awake all night, remember the folks who can\'t have a baby. When you\'re just tired of getting \"old\" remember the kids in Connecticut a few years ago...who will never have that problem, because some nut case killed them. Please give this podcast a listen. It could put some life back in your life.

This may be my favorite Christmas podcast. It features a Christmas song by my son Dave, who plays an orchestra full of instruments on the recording. It\'s also about the thrill and the danger of being a one hit wonder, like Gene Chandler, Francis Scott Key, the Singing Nun, and Mildred and Patty Hill. And...maybe most important....it includes the one thing that can keep you forever young. Give a listen. And Merry Christmas.

no
It was when I was at NBC Radio in New York one Thanksgiving long ago, that I realized that men can be considered \"saintly\" for several reasons. And we are given next to no credit for that. Therefore I started the \"Men Are Saints\" campaign. This podcast explains my perhaps...\"unusual\" reasoning.

no
There are curves and there are CURVES. And some ladies have both. Some of the girls in Sr. Mary Knucklebuster\'s class had the nerve to grow curves before I was ready to try to handle that. But they also put curves down on paper. It\'s Estrogen at work I think. Guys don\'t do that. Except for doctors and pharmacists, guys print. Print is Strong. Simple. Like guys. Females are fancy and curvy. This podcast explains that Estrogen difference.

Nothing Happened
no
Non binery is finery for some folks, but woman & man is my plan. Does that make me a feminist? I don\'t know. One of the greatest feminist statements I\'ve ever heard was said by someone who identified as a woman. Gloria Steinman. She said, \"A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.\" Another comment about the general feeling among feminists at the time was, \"If we can put one man on the moon why can\'t we put all of them there.\" I had a feminist author as a guest to talk about her book on my NBC radio talk show one night. There was a news cast on the air before my show, and the NBC Newsman had his NEWS voice going to the point where I was almost surprised that he didn\'t get returning fog horn whistles answering from ships in the East River. My guest almost fell on the floor laughing. I said, \"What\'s so funny?\" She said \"I\'m wondering how he would sound in bed with a woman saying, \"I love you.\"

Hugs Heal
no
This podcast claims that Hugs heal. You know how good a good hug feels. When you\'re down, and somebody comes along, puts a couple of warm arms around you, and gives you a squeeze and a smile...you start to want to smile right back...and you really mean that returning smile, no matter how down you just felt. It\'s a natural reaction. And GIVING somebody a hug is a great way to share some of the smile that you feel happy-ing inside you. Check out what happens in a baseball dugout when somebody hits a walk off grand slam home run. In fact, according to a just released Carnegie Mellon University study, a twenty second hug actually reduces the harmful, physical effects of stress, including its impact on your blood pressure and heart rate. That\'s because prolonged hugging releases oxytocin, which is a powerful feel good hormone in the brain. Hugs heal. And right now maybe we all need some hugging. There are some therapists who claim to be hugging experts. When somebody claims he\'s an expert, a big Dong goes off in my head. Look at the word. Ex means that something that was, isn\'t any more. An ex husband for example. And pert is something that could be called \"Cute\" by people who can use that word better than I can. So when you put the ex together with the pert, you get something that was...but no longer...is...cute. Wonderful.

There\'s a story about a lonely lady in this podcast. Actually, it\'s a story about a lot of lonely ladies. Maybe it\'s a story about a lonely lady you know. Or would like to know. Actually, it\'s a story about the fact that man or woman, the less you bet the more you lose when you win. And it\'s a reminder that there\'s a big difference between being alone, and being lonely.

Some Whys Guys
no
I think life is too short to spend so much time arguing with strangers on the internet about politics. That\'s stuff that we can\'t really change...once voting day is over. And speaking about politics, have you noticed that almost every politician says, \"We need to come together.\" The way we argue about political questions if we all came together it would be a disastrous collision. We\'d all need football helmets. The dust would never stop flying. I think there are so many questions that are much more interesting than political stuff. For example, Why are there interstate highways in Hawaii? Go too fast, for too long on a Hawaiian interstate highway and you\'ll be going for a swim. Why can\'t a woman put on mascara with her mouth closed? They can\'t seem to do that. And think about how do bankruptsy lawyers get paid? And here\'s one that cuts some mustard...why do hot dogs come in packs of ten, but their buns come in packs of 8?

Playing Favorites
no
This podcast is about an early morning adventure. My Lady Wonder Wench and I just got back from Shaw\'s...our favorite breakfast diner here in Dracut, Massachusetts. I like lots of things, but I always seem to have one favorite. My Lady always orders eggs... over easy. I\'m not exactly sure what over easy means. But eggs for breakfast always reminds me of a guy I know, who has what he claims is a dynamite opening pick up line about eggs. He says he goes over to the prettiest young lady at the singles bar and says, \"How would you like your eggs for breakfast tomorrow morning, my dear\"? Gotta add my dear to a question like that. That makes it sound so delightfully sleazy. \"How would you like your eggs for breakfast tomorrow morning, my dear\"? I\'ve warned him that eventually he\'s going to ask a Louie Louie Generation lady with a really snappy answer. Something like \"I\'ll keep my eggs still un-fertilized tomorrow morning thank you.\"

Fun With A Perfect Stranger
no
How much fun are you allowed to have with a perfect stranger, if you are already in a committed relationship? Before you answer that for yourself, how much fun would you like your partner to have with a perfect stranger? And how different would your answer be if that fun with the perfect stranger would be...in the middle of the night. Give a listen to this podcast. It might change your mind.

Your Winning Attitude
no
This podcast is about using your attitude to get lots of good stuff. It\'s not the usual rah-rah nonsense. It\'ll help keep you young, without forcing you to mature. As I\'ve told you, maturity is a trap. \"Maturity\" makes guys wear a jacket and tie when it\'s 100 degrees out, and it makes women eat a lettuce leaf for dinner. Give a listen to this podcast. If nothing else it\'ll give you a grin.

Woody: My Back Yard Tree
no
I\'m not sitting in my big, manly, comfortable black leather poppa chair in my living room today, like I usually am when I record my podcasts. I\'m recording this podcast in the middle of the day in the middle of the summer, so I\'m sittiing on a folding chair in the shade of a tree growing in my back yard. I think it\'s an oak. In some ways this tree reminds me of me. I figure it\'s about my age, but it\'s a lot bigger than I am. But...I\'m a lot faster than Woody...even with my bum knee. Sometimes it\'s also a lot smarter than me. Today\'s podcast explains why. Give a listen please. These podcasts can sometimes grow on you.

Christmas Happened One Summer
no
Let me tell you a story about how for me, Christmas and Summer belong together. The story involves one of my favorite little kids. Our little Cecelia. Cecelia loves airplanes. I took her for a flight in my little four seat Piper while she was here one Summer, and I explained about the ailerons, and the rudder, and the flaps...and she understood. She\'s smart. She not only understood, but evidently she gave a lecture on the subject to her day care class...complete with an \"oh wow\" from her assembled colleagues. Our daughter Kris says Cecelia is quite convinced she can fly the airliner next time they come to visit. There IS something genuinely magical about climbing into an airplane, and lifting off into the sky. A pilot-poet once said it was like... \"Reaching out to touch the face of God.\" That pilot was a nineteen year old kid...no he was a nineteen year old hero...because he gave his life when his Royal Air Force Spitfire fighter plane was shot down in the Battle of Britan. This podcast is about the connection between our little Cecelia, Summertime, and Christmas. Give a listen please.

Sleeping Naked
no
See. I knew it. Sleeping naked is good for you. It says right here that \"Sleeping naked can improve your ability to have restful sleep, and in general your overall health. When you sleep naked your body\'s production of melatonn which makes you sleepy isn\'t hindered by clothing.\" See. I told you Lady Wonder Wench. Nothing worse than having your body\'s production of melatonn hindered by clothing that\'s what I always say. Women\'s clothing is always confusing to me. I mean For example why does a young woman need a training bra? What is she trying to teach herself? And why does a woman wear a blouse that buttons up the back? And I just saw an ad for a woman\'s clothing store that said, \"underwear 40% off.\" Wow. What a great idea. This podcast might convince you to be good to your body...and sleep naked.

One Day At A Time
no
This podcast is about sitting here in my big, manly black leather poppa chair considering Big Louie\'s advice about what to do today. Big Louie always says \"The only way to live happily ever after is to take it one day at a time.\" And I do want to live happily ever after. Of course Big Louie says lots of things in my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot...available at Amazon...shameless plug. Besides \"The only way to live happily ever after is to take it one day at a time\" Louie likes to remind us that \"If you have any moving parts left, for God\'s sake, MOVE EM\". And \"You never know when something wonderful is going to happen.\" So I\'m trying to figure out how I can take my one day at a time like nobody else is taking his one day at time. But I find myself doing so many of the things you probably do too, that I get concerned that we might all spend our happily ever afters together. Now, I like lots of you, but...comon. Why do we do so many of the same things? Lots of times when I sit here thinking I click my ball point pen...just like you. Some times when I come home from the supermarket I ballance 4 plastic bags on each arm, grab 2 bags with my teeth, hold a quart of milk between my legs, and bunny hop from my car into the house with the groceries. Way too often I catch myself tap, tap, taping my foot. Why? As much as I hate it, I sometimes start answering a question with the word, \"Well\" or even the word \"So.\" SO I think we\'ll have a pretty nice day today. SO WHAT! How are you feellng today Dick? Well...I\'m over my cold so I\'m well. I know I shouldn\'t do that, but way too often I fall into that well...just like you...I\'ll bet.

Missing Maybe
no
I am sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room, looking for my maybe. My maybe is not the insect that buzzes around making honey in May. The maybe I\'m looking for is the most important part of the famous formula that says \"Honesty = The Truth + Maybe.\" If you\'re not familiar with that famous formula, you\'ll find it in Chapter 11 of my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot, Available at Amazon dot com, shameless plug...in the book it says, \"Honesty = The Truth + Maybe\" means whenever somebody says, \"This is the truth, you\'ve got to believe me\" it\'s really time to think to yourself, \"Maybe it\'s time for some serious maybe.\" As in \"Lightning doesn\'t strike the same place twice.\" If you\'d add some serious \"Maybe\" to that statement, you\'d find that...no...for example the Empire State Building was hit by lightning 23 times last year.

The Every Month Problem
no
Every month or so, my Lady Wonder Wench looks up at me sweetly, smiles softly, and murmers...\"You need a haircut.\" She never said that to me once before we got married. Now she says it about once a month. We were at an Andrew Rieu concert recently. Andrew Rieu is a vilonist with a classical orchestra and bushels of hair to spare. He stands on the stage, sawing away at his violin and waving his hair all over the audience. All the women in the audience were swaying back and forth urging him to toss his hair their way. Some women have been known to toss various still warm items of their underwear at him...which encouraged him to even more tossing of his hair. Right there in the middle of that estrogen eruption the other night, right in the middle of a sway, my Lady Wonder Wench looked up at me sweetly, smlled softly and murmered, \"You need a haircut.\" I am told many women have monthly problems. My hair seems to be her monthly problem.

Bodily Harm
no
Looks like I am in for some bodily harm, because I am about to reveal...a secret code which has come to be called, \'The RULES\" in this podcast. And Rule #14 is, \"Any attempt to document these rules could result in bodily harm to the male.\" These rules were obviously written by a woman, and I\'m pretty sure the threat of bodily harm to which she is referring has nothing to do with the possibility of her punishing me with some kind of complete sexual exhaustion.

Back Scratch
no
Given the choice between getting a million dollars and havingh a world class back scratch administered by a lady bearing a close resemblence to Catherine Zeta Jones, or my Lady Wonder Wench it would be tough choice. Hey, just think, there\'s are no income taxes on back scratches. Plus, I\'ve found that my voice makes interesting and some would say sexy sounds during a back scratch...which, on occasion in the past, has lead me to having even more enjoyable activities. And of course there\'s the time honored old saying, \"You scratch my back, I\'ll scratch yours—now let\'s fall in love. Or at least in lust.\" Of course you only get a really good backscratch from your lady when she\'s happy with you. \"Happy wife, happy life\" is a saying that comes to mind. I\'m sure you know that many people must resort to auto back scratching when it has been too long between bouts of social or romantic back scratching. Scratch your back a little with today\'s podcast.

My Brooklyn Jacket
no
I just hung my Brooklyn jacket up in the closet. It\'s a nice blue jacket with the word Brooklyn written across the chest in script...because that\'s the way the old Brooklyn Dodgers did it in their logos. And I am an old Brooklyn Dodger fan now living in what\'s called The Red Sox Nation...Massachusetts. That jacket has taught me a lesson most guys never get. Every time I wear it, people look down at my chest. Almost no other guy can make that statement. You can see it happen. Shifty eyes approach from down the block. Almost always they flick down to check out my chest... because of the word Brooklyn that\'s written there in script. It\'s a very strange experience for a guy. I realize women have the same experience all the time. For sometimes very obvious reasons. It happens all the time. This podcast explains why wearing my Brooklyn jacket gives me a whole different male perspective on life.

The Zero Super Hero
no
I really am glad I\'m not a super hero. Partially because I really would be embarassed to have some of my thoughts written in a big baloon over my head. But I am a guy. And all guys are part animal. Some of us just make better pets than others. I am also a God father. I\'m encouraging my nephew to call me God for short. I like that. Speaking of God, if you go to heaven and God sneezes, what do you say? I\'m glad I\'m no super hero, but I do work out. You\'ve got to be strong to break a dark chocolate bar into 4 pieces, and then eat only one. Besides...lots of interesting things happen in a gym. There\'s a story about one of those things in today\'s podcast.

The Miracle Word
no
There\'s one word that\'s understood in every language...all around the word. You understand it, your buddy in Mongolia understands it. His girlfriend in Germany understands it. EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS IT. It\'s a miracle word. Learn to use it. Especially you guys. Be an understanding guy. Women like understanding guys. Learn how to use the Miracle word guys, and women all over the world will be all over you. Google says, This miracle word is \"used to express scorn, anger, disbelief, surprise, or amusement.\" So it\'s a word you don\'t want to see on a note about your income tax from the IRS. You don\'t want to see it, but you\'d damn welll understand it. Everybody all over the world would understand it. If you were a witness when a beautiful naked woman robbed a bank, and the cops asked you to describe her face...you\'d probably answer with that miracle word. Behind many an angry woman stands a man who is probably saying THE MIRACLE WORD over and over.

The Toxic Masculinity Myth
no
Toxic masculinity is fake news. No kidding. I have to confess that I must ooze masculinity. My ring finger is about a knuckle longer than my index finger, which proves I have testosterone to spare. Seriously. Today\'s podcast admits that\'s one of the tests for masculinity the doctors are talking about...when your index finger is longer than your pointer finger you have excess testosterone. You guys are checking that out now, aren\'t you. Evidently another test is when a man gets a really hot kiss, a couple parts of his body tend to swell up…like his ear lobes. What did you think I was going to say? That\'s also true. It\'s a proven fact that when a woman gives a guy a 300 degree wet kiss his earlobes are among the many parts of his body that tend to swell up. I suggest you ladies get your guy to put his best face forward and check it out. I also do lots of manly exercising, because I want my muscles to be big and hard. I never had a girlfriend by the name of Alice, but if I did, when I went to see Alice I\'d want to hear her say, \"I\'m glad you exercise, because a hard man nowadays is good to find.\"

This news just in: Russia has experienced such a large drop in their birth rate that they now have a holiday on June 12th called \"The Day of Conception.\" I am not making this up. It says here, \"On this day couples are given a half a day off from work to procreate...and it works. And the birthrate around the middle of March, 9 months from Conception day in Russia, has tripled. To make things even more fun, couples who give birth closest to March 12th, exactly 9 months from Conception day, are given prizes including cars, cash and appliances.\" I think it may be time to seriously consider collusion with the Russians. Can you imagine the parades and the floats on Conception Day?

I grew up in Brooklyn, in the days and nights of Louie-Louie, when men were men and women knew their place. When the guys in my neighborhood weren\'t hanging out on the stoop singing do-wop versions of Louie-Louie on nice Summer evenings, we spent thoseevenings telling each other great lies about our magnificent deeds of daring-do, invincibility, and courage. When a guy had guts, we said he had balls. Way back then, most of the girls just sighed, smiled knowingly at each-other, and giggled a little. At least I think that\'s what they did. I\'m not sure because most of the Brooklyn girls in those days had something much more powerful than balls. They had beauty...in their soft summer sweaters and skirts. Yes, soft Summer sweaters and skirts. That\'s how Brooklyn girls dressed in those days...and nights. And now I can tell you...all these years later...that their beauty scared the hell out of us. All of us. Including me. Hear me out on the podcast please.

The Wanton Woman
no
Once upon a time, a long time ago, my Lady Wonder Wench taught me the magical power of \"Wanton.\" She taught me with just a flick of her eyes and a small jump of her left shoulder. All I did was say, \"Hello.\" It was at the end of a long and exhausting day. Fortunately for me, the echo of that \"Hello\" must have magically made me younger now than I was then. It taught me that life is much more than just getting tired every day. You\'ll learn some things about yourself in this podcast too. Please give a listen.

Mysteries in this podcast. Like Who Let The Dogs Out? Why do all the flavors of fruit loops taste exactly the same? Why are delicate eggs packed in flimsy cartons, while husky batteries are packed in bombproof plastic containers? Lots of mysteries in this podcast.

A few of your favorite voices may not be around to sing Auld Lang Syne this year. This podcast contains a voice that I was afraid might not be with us...but thank God, she is here to sing the song. You\'re welcome to join in if you like. Thank you for spending some of your precious time with me in 2018. And I hope we\'ll have some time together in 2019. HAPPY NEW YEAR.

To Holy Hell With Well
no
To Holy Hell With Well I say. Instead...Start The Spark With Hark! At least for the Christmas season, when somebody asks you a question, don\'t start your answer with the word \"well.\" Use the word \"Hark\" instead. It will get people\'s attention better. Think what it did for the Herald Angels. They even got away with rhyming \"proclaim\" with \"Bethleheim.\" As in \"Hark, the the Herald Hosts proclaim, Christ is born in Bethlehem.\" If you start your answer with \"Hark\" instead of \"Well\" think of the attention your answer will get. As in \"Hark, yes I\'m pregnant.\" \"Hark, no there\'ll be no raises this year.\" Then you can don your gay attire and go for a ride in a one horse open sleigh on Rt. 95, all the while singing Fa La La La La as you go. This podscast is...so...FESTIVE.

A Men Are Saints Thanksgiving
no
Excess humility! That\'s the major challenge facing today\'s man. This podcast is about a Thanksgiving when I started the \"Men Are Saints\" campaign. (M.A.S. for short.) It started when my Lady Wonder Wench asked me to open a jar. AND I COULDN\'T. But SHE DID. It was awful. She just said \"I wiggled it.\" (The lid on the jar.) It went downhill from there.

Happy Hangin' Out
no
Americans spend an average of 110 days a year in what\'s called a \"Dark Mood.\" I found an answer to that. Just roll down the car window, and hang your left elbow out in the sunshine. You\'ll begin to feel like the \"King of the Road.\" \"Louie Louie Generation\" folks will understand. Air conditioning was so new, bars and movie theaters advertised the fact that they had air conditioning, so you could come in and cool down while you watched a movie or sipped your suds. Most of us who lived in big cities slept on our fire escapes on hot summer nights. I was a Coney Island life guard back then. There were fireworks every Tuesday night at Coney Island in the Summer. And sometimes the best fireworks took place under the boardwalk. My girlfriend\'s name was Matilda in those days. \"Girlfriending\" was different back then. Matilda was heavily influenced by the teaching of Sr. Mary Knucklebuster. That teaching did not include \"Hooking Up\"...unfortunately for me. I was more influenced by the teaching of Hugh Heffner...which produced some less than stellar evenings in the back seat of my old car, which I bought from my friend Eddie Kelly for $25. My plans for the future included becoming a night time disc jockey in New York, so I could hang out with big time singers and actresses, like William B. Williams did on WNEW radio. I got to do that too. I\'ve led a \"King of the Road kind of life. Today\'s podcast explains all that. It\'s called \"Happily Hanging Out.\" Give a listen please. It might help the next time you find yourself in a \"Dark Mood.\"

Hand-Some-Ness
no
I like to think that I\'m a hand some guy. Not necessarily handsome, but definitely hand some…as in the body part you have at the end of your arm. Hand-some-ness is a fading art. One good use of your hands is rubbing your lady\'s feet. Another is just holding hands with your lady. I was walking down the street with my Lady Wonder Wench recently when a guy approached me with tears in his eyes, and he said, \"I want to thank you for holding hands with your lady. I used to hold my wife\'s hand all the time. She\'s holding hands with the Lord now.\" A gentle touch on the face also sometimes gets a smile.. You understand, I\'m sure. There\'s a story in this podcast called \"Lovin\' Touch.\" It\'s a touch put into words. Give a listen please. Because I really believe that \"Touches are better than words, but words are better than nothing.\" I think way too many people\'s hands are full of their cell phones instead of somebody else\'s hand. And I think that\'s really too bad. Give a listen, please.

Toys For Boys
no
There\'s a sign on the wall of a hanger where I used to keep my little plane. It says VOLUMES. \"Don\' let the boy die before the man\" is the message. Testosterone toting guys seem to have more toys than the more estrogen enriched among us. That\'s because the Lord knows we need them more than they need us.

Dick Summer
It's Good To Drive A Klunker
no
This podcast is a reminder to hold your head high if you drive a \"Klunker.\" \"Klunker\" is an expressive word. It\'s the sound your engine makes when you\'re stopped at a stop light. \"Klunker,\" klunker, klunker\"...is your engine\'s sound. It\'s a contented sound that translates to, \"I\'m a car that has demonstrated the ability to make it all the way home lots of times.\" The guy next to you in the new red Corvette has an engine going, \"Vroom, vroom, vroom\" which translates to \"slurp, slurp, slurp, get me to the gas station fast.\" There is a big difference between a klunker and a junker. A klunker always has some value...for somebody.

Gettiing Comfortable
no
I like being comfortable. That\'s why I am sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable black leather poppa chair in my living room...and this IS a POPPA chair. Poppa...as in manly. Comfortable. More and more people seem to be un-comfortable with exactly what being manly means now. Legitimate colleges and universities are giving actual courses with titles like \"Overcoming your toxic masculinity.\" Seriously. Brown University has a course in quote, \"creating safe spaces for men to unpack all of the things they have learned about masculinity and what it means to be a man\" end quote. Seriously. I like my masculinity. I\'ve had it for a long time. I\'m very comfortable with it. And it\'s never seemed toxic to me. My Lady Wonder Wench seems to like it too. In fact I think my masculinity is one of the biggest reasons why my Lady Wonder Wench is the star of my most inappropriate and not safe for work thoughts. I like my masculinity. I\'m very comfortable being a man. That\'s what this podcast is all about.

This is about the night sounds of the summer. Hard to believe that all that soft sound is made by some one ounce crickets. Seems to me that they\'d have to be about 100 pounds to make all that soft sound. And a 100 pound cricket is an ugly thought. There are lots of giggles in this podcast. And giggles are good.

Much More Gratitude
no
I\'m grateful for lots of the big things we have, but we sometimes take for granted...like dependable electricity, enough food and clean water. But I\'m grateful for lots of little things too. Like the ice cream sandwich with the little flakes of dark chocolate I had last night, walking on the beach with my Lady Wonder Wench, and holding her hand. We shared a bag of hot, buttered popcorn when we got home. How about flinging a Frisbee with my buddy Randy next door. How about the sound of ice cubes bouncing against a glass full of fizzy soda, or the word y\'all in a sentence that goes something like, \"We\'re sure glad to see y\'all. That\'s what my brother Jeff said when we went to visit him in Texas. Little things that make life good. Like the chuckle I got when I saw an ad for a ladies clothing store that said, \"Ladies, make his day. Take 80% off.\" I immediately started thinking, hey, that\'s a great idea. See? Gratitude Attitude. That\'s what this podcast is all about.

Big Bikini Bust
no
\"If you obey all the rules, you will miss an awful lot of the fun.\" That\'s one of Big Louie\'s best observations. I am sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room...in shock. To say nothing of dismay. I have just learned that the Miss Universe Pageant has eliminated the bathing suit competition in an embarrassing nod to political correctness. It\'s their new rules. Listen people. Pay attention to Big Louie when he says \"If you obey all the rules you will miss an awful lot of the fun.\" I consider this to be a terrible sneak attack on love itself. Here\'s what I mean. \"If love is blind how come bikinis are so popular.\" What\'s next? Streakers beware?. After all, this may mean your end is in sight...so to speak...streakers. Why are they doing this to us. By us, I mean Louie Louie Generation gentlemen. When a woman wearing even the tiniest string bikini walks down the beach, a Louie Louie generation guy watches only the parts of her that are more or less covered. What is the problem with these Miss Universe people? Don\'t they understand that a bikini is a little like a barbed wire fence? Look at it this way, a barbed wire fence and a bikini both protect the property without obstructing the view. Some of those women are visual candy stores. But these Miss Universe people want to put us all on a starvation diet.

An Early Summer Day
no
This was recorded on my back deck, while enjoying a back yard swing, with shoes off. Early Summer has the most precious moments of the year for me. Early Summer is a woman. She\'s not here for long. Way too soon watermealoning changes to apple bobbing, then there\'s September Song, and before you know it you\'re singing Jingle Bells again...and hoping another another Early Summer gets here soon. Minute by minute, the Summer slips away. The best we can do is catch her before she Falls.

Why?
no
Who, what, when, where and why are the five questions any story should answer. And the most important question is \"Why?\" So I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly black leather poppa chair in my living room thinking about the whys in my life. For example, why do I leave the expensive house I live in, and get dressed up in expensive clothes, drive through tough traffic in a car I\'m still paying for, to get to a job that I need to pay for the clothes, the car, and the house I\'m not in, because I\'m at work? And is the reason it\'s called work because all the other four letter words were taken? And on the subject of words, why should I trust that the words in the dictionary aren\'t misspelled? And why are loneliness and cheeseburgers such a dangerous combination? Why don\'t we just quit voting to see if the politicians will all just go away? If stop lights are timed for 35 mph, why doesn\'t that mean they\'re also timed for 70mph? If sex is so dirty and shameful, why are we supposed to save it for someone we love? And on that subject, why don\'t women ever say \"Let\'s go to bed and have sex\"? Yes, why don\'t they? And on that subject, don\'t you just hate it when some guy says, \"We\'re pregnant.\" BS. SHE\'s pregnant and he\'s usually scared spitless. Worse yet, is \"We\'re working at getting pregnant.\" That\'s WORK? Work, work work away is what I say. Let\'s do overtime.

Guys Grunt
no
This podcast is about a problem most guys have. They mostly grunt at ladies. Then they spit and scratch. But Louie Louie Generation guys like me, spin stories for our ladies instead. We know that ladies like stories. And we like ladies. \"Once upon a time\" it is said, a little Louie Louie Generation frog told a wonderful story he called \"Ribit-Ribit\" to a princess. \"Ribit-Ribit\" was all he said. But it made her smile. He was just a little frog, but she liked his \"Ribit-Ribit\"story so much that she kissed him, and he instantly turned into a prince, complete with a fancy carriage. At least that\'s what the Princess told her mother when she walked into the bedroom and found that handsome young man in there with her daughter. Mom wasn\'t buying it. She had the frog\'s carriage toad away. It\'s really tough being a guy. We do the best we can with what we have to offer. But it is a problem. There\'s a story in this podcast about a lady who met a hard guy, and what happened one night. It\'s a story worth hearing.

Fun With Fantasies
no
It\'s called \"Junk Mail.\" But think of the fun fantasies it can start going in your head. The Lands End catalog for example has a picture of a bunch of guys standing around in their underwear. A few pages away are a bunch of ladies standing around in their underwear. In my fantasy, I could hear one of the ladies whisper something to me. When I listened more carefully, I could hear what she was saying. \"Why doesn\'t that guy close the magazine so we could get together with those guys and..party.\" Fantasies can be so much fun. Give a listen and get some of your best going.

The Magic Of Maybe
no
\"Shazam\" is a fake magic word. \"Maybe\" is a real magic word. You can say \"Shazam\" till you run out of breath and nothing will happen. You won\'t get a fancy cape and the ability to fly. But when you say \"Maybe\" and mean it, just once, your mighty imagination fires up and goes to work. \"Maybe\" can change everything for you. I am sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair, looking across the room at my lovely Lady Wonder Wench. She just came out of a shower. She\'s wearing a towel wrapped around her hair, her soft, blue bathrobe, and her two piece. That\'s her bedroom slippers...her two piece. Sometimes she slinks around here wearing just her two piece...and through the years, those have been some of my luckiest, happiest times. We\'ve been together for a long time. And I sometimes wonder how I got so lucky. There were lots of maybes involved. It\'s like Stephen Hawking said: \"The most exciting words in physics aren\'t ‘Now we know\', the most exciting words in physics are \"How come?\" \"How come\" is another way of saying \"Maybe.\" The first answer to my question about how I got so lucky to have her in my life, that comes to my feverish mind is sex. But then I remember that Big Louie, the head guy of the Louie Louie generation always claims that, \"Sex is never the answer\". Louie says \"Sex is often the question. And if you get lucky the answer is sometimes yes.\"

Doctor's Orders
no
I am sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room with an ear worm that won\'t go away. An ear worm is a piece of music that keeps going around in your mind, and won\'t go away. My ear worm started when I was reading an editorial in The Week magazine that says \"Even with everything going for us, America isn\'t very happy. Loneliness is an epidemic, pain killers are killing US, and way too many of us are loading up on junk food and weapons.\" My ear worm is driving me nuts. Time to call in a doctor. My choice of doctors for this ear worm is Doctor Bobby McFerrin. Doctor Bobby McFerrin\'s doctor degree is from the Berklee College of Music. Doctor McFerrin wrote and recorded a song in 1988 that says, \"In every life we have some trouble, but when you worry you make it double.\" Doctor McFerrin\'s prescription is in the title he gave the song. \"Don\'t Worry Be Happy.\" It\'s a musical way of saying what Big Louie has been teaching for a couple of years in my book, Staying Happy Healthy And Hot.

We have a winner in the Summer Stumper contest. Laurel Juthe from Massachusetts. \"What is it that is of no use to an airplane, but the airplane cannot fly without it?\" Laurel nailed it. She said, NOISE. And she\'s right. I\'m sending her a check for $1 million...postdated to the year 2525. It\'s a good thing she\'s young so she can hope to enjoy it. Believe it or not, some young people enjoy sex more than money. Can\'t say that I blame them.

Wonder Wench Turns On Me When I Drive
no
Wonder Wench turns on me when I drive. When I go around the corner even when I have most of the wheels on the ground. When I bump up on the sidewalk to avoid a red light, you should hear her shriek. Even when I don\'t hit somebody. One wrong turn and she goes ballistic, just because I\'m getting off the highway using the on ramp. It\'s just awful.

I\'m sure you\'ve heard that grammar school chant, \"Liar, Liar, pants on fire.\" My pants have not been on fire for some time. They are folded neatly between my fanny and my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room. And my pants are not on fire because I never tell a lie. Well...hardly ever. I don\'t say things like, \"I\'m from the government, and I\'m here to help you.\" Also \"I did not chop down that damn cherry tree,\" \"nor did I have sex with that woman.\" \"Watch my lips, no new taxes.\" \"Your president is not a thief. \"That wasn\'t really me in that video.\" Oh no. But I must confess to an occasional \"Can I tell you the truth?\"

A little yellow flower poked it\'s head up through the frozen winter ground today. The first absolute notice that Spring is really coming. I picked it, and gave it to my Lady Wonder Wench. She keeps things like that...shells from beaches we\'ve explored on vacations past, a shirt of mine she used to wear to bed when I was away on business over night, a very old Christmas poem I wrote a long time ago... 3D \"Selfies\" of the times of our lives. Her favorite story is called \"Losers.\" It\'s in here too. Thanks for sharing this with my Lady and me.

Gratitude Attitude Again
no
I\'m sitting here in my big, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room reminding myself to take note of some of the good stuff in my life. Call it taking time to smell the roses if you like. I call it feeding my Gratitude Attitude. That means having just as much gratitude for the little stuff like taking a deep breath when you open a fresh jar of coffee, as for the big stuff like cashing a very nice check. Our Gratitude Attitude doesn\'t mean looking at life through rose colored glasses. Bi-focals will do just fine. \"Big Louie\" the head guy in my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot, keeps reminding us that we sometimes can\'t help what\'s happening in our lives, but we can help how we feel about our lives. I guess you could say it\'s about taking charge of where we put our emotional focus. There is a nut case dictator in North Korea, and we need to recognize that threat. But not when there\'s a scoop of cherry vanilla ice cream in a dish right in front of you. There\'s a time and a place for everything. Dig in. Enjoy. And remember that not too many North Koreans have a dish of cherry vanilla ice cream in front of them. That\'s the Gratitude Attitude. Some politician in Washington pulls an outstandingly stupid, or greedy trick? Be glad you\'re an American, so you really don\'t have to sit at the top of your driveway with your shotgun to pick off a pack of bad guys storming up the block to hurt your lady, or yourself, or to take your stuff. At least not today you don\'t. And probably not tonight either. Not even next week. One day/night at a time. Gratitude Attitude.

Shared Bodily Warmth
no
I\'m recording this podcast while I\'m sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room…by the fireplace. I\'ve got the kindling in place, and a couple of logs stacked on top. When I am finished recording this podcast I am going to start a big, beautiful, warm, cozy fire, and I may try to interest my Lady Wonder Wench in an experiment that has to do with shared, bodily warmth. It is so cold out that when somebody says \"Hello,\" you can see his lips move, and a little puff of cloud comes out of his mouth, but all you hear is a little clunk because the frozen sound of the word hits the ground. You\'ve got to pick it up and thaw it out to hear it. It is so cold, flocks of chickens are trying to break into the KFC so they can warm up in the fryer. Male dogs are getting stuck to fire hydrants in the most embarrassing way. Guys are no longer accepting phone calls from funny relatives in Florida. People are shivering like donuts at a weight watchers meeting. When I came into the house from getting the mail this morning, I spent a few minutes standing in front of the refrigerator to warm up. Playboy magazine can\'t publish because there\'s no amount of money that could make a girl take her clothes off. Hitchhikers are holding up pictures of their thumbs. The optician down the block is giving away free ice scrapers with every new pair of eye glasses. Over by the town hall a while ago, a streaker froze in mid streak. The town council decided to just stick a plaque on him and pretend he was a Greek statue until spring. My buddy Randy next door said he chipped a tooth on his coffee.

Stuck In The Middle With You
no
I\'m sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable black leather poppa chair in my living room, recording this podcast about a week after New Years. It\'s cozy in here but it is cold outside. This is kind of an in between time for the next couple of weeks. We seem stuck In the middle together somehow. Auld Lang Syne has just recently faded out, but we can still reasonably wish folks \"Happy New Year.\" Pretty soon that will fade out too, and we\'ll be back to \"Have a nice day.\" When that happens, instead of just saying, \"You too\" try saying, \"Thanks, but I have other plans\" then watch to see the look on the \"Have a nice day-sayer\'s\" face. I\'ll bet you don\'t even get a double take more than ten percent of the time. Because most people aren\'t really listening. \"Have a nice day\" usually really means, \"Ok, I\'m finished with you, now what\'s next?\" That feels cold ...inside, which is more uncomfortable than the cold that\'s outside.

My first girlfriend, leaving my oldest son off at kindergarten for the first time, the first sniff of a real Christmas tree, the first time I flew an airplane by myself. This podcast contains a New Year\'s wish that I was afraid I would never be able to give you again. Happy New Year.

More Stories
no
I love sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room. It\'s a safe place to tell you some of my favorite stories. If I tried telling you some of them in person, you might be tempted to tell me to stop bothering you and go play some old Louie Louie Generation appropriate games...like walk scotch, hide and go sleep, or spin the hot water bottle. You might even want to attach a banana peel to the tip of my cane. But ha...I don\'t have a cane. But I do have some stories. Here\'s one of my favorites. Once upon a time there was a scientist who cloned himself. One afternoon, the restless clone sneaked out of the lab, and ran down to a subway station, where he flashed all the passengers. When the scientist heard about it, he ran down to the subway station and ordered the perverted clone to stop flashing people. That scared the clone so badly because he had never seen the scientist so upset. He got so scared that he lost his balance and fell off the platform, right into the path of an oncoming subway train. Just then, the Transit Cops arrived and arrested the scientist for...making an obscene clone fall. THAT...is a terrible face you\'re making. Keep making faces like that and the next time you smile you could get a facial Charley Horse.

National Breast Awareness Month
no
Some of you have been listening to these podcasts for a while, so you will have some understanding of the testosterone tsunami that shook me today. This is no kidding. I saw a sign outside a medical building today that said...\"This is National Breast Awareness month.\" My Lady Wonder Wench was driving, and in an instant I understood that old psychological precept: \"Your unconscious mind is much faster than your conscious mind.\" My big mouth was connected to my unconscious mind at the time and it let out some kind of noise that sounded like \"YYEEEHHHAAA STOP.\" My conscious mind would have shut my big mouth. My unconscious mind was faster. And it was really no competition. When I yelled, \"Stop.\" My Lady Wonder Wench hit the brakes, the tires shrieked and smoked, our heads just missed the windshield and the cars behind us blew a car horn symphony. It was clearly time for confession. But when I explained that I just needed her to take my picture in front of that sign that said it was National Breast Awareness month, she did a 360 degree eye roll right out loud, said something she knew wasn\'t true about my mother and father\'s marital status when I was born, hit the gas and drove us home in what might best be described as a vast, fast, frozen silence. That\'s frozen cold...as in distant. Very distant. I have never understood how even women like Lady Wonder Wench who are blessed with a good sense of humor can\'t understand the kind of pictures guys get in our minds when we see a sign that says this is National Breast Awareness month. It\'s like fart jokes. Ladies don\'t think fart jokes are funny either. After decades of research I\'ve finally developed a fart joke that makes my Lady laugh no matter how hard she tries not to. I just look her in the eye and very quickly I say, \"Fart, fart, fart.\" It works every time. Try it on your lady.

Fantasies
no
Fantasies turn underwear into lingerie. Fantasies turn ordinary men and women into heroic movie stars, or dreadful villains. More importantly fantasies turn a relationship into a romance. A relationship builds over time, a romance just explodes. And a fantasy is usually the spark that ignites the explosion. Like lots of our friends my Lady Wonder Wench and I have been together for a long time. It has been good...and comfortable...living together. Comfortable is good. But it\'s also risky. The risk is that if we aren\'t careful, the spark that ignited the explosion that changed our relationship into our romance can get lost behind all the trivia that piles up as the years go by. No spark...no explosion. No explosion...no romance.

Still Pulling An All Nighter
no
I\'m sitting here in my big, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room ...and it\'s so comfortable. Not at all like the hard chairs and harsh fluorescent lights I remember from when I was doing the all night shows at WBZ and WNEW and WNBC. There were good things and bad things about being on the air all night. One of the bad things was there weren\'t many people listening, but one of the good things was that the people who were listening were really listening. It wasn\'t just some kind of background noise like daytime radio tends to be. And I remember that I had my own way of dealing with problems in those days. When the little voice in my head said, \"You\'re going to regret saying this in the morning,\" I always said it anyway. Because I figured nobody could give me a hard time in the morning if I just slept late the next day. I felt that was one way to be a problem solver. No regrets. And I could sleep any time I had the time in those days...actually in those nights. Even while I was on the air. Sometimes much to the dismay of the tech on duty at the control board at about 3AM, I even took a quickie nap while a long song like Arlo Guthrie\'s \"Alice\'s Restaurant\" or Iron Butterfly\'s \"In A Gadda Da Vida\" was playing. In those days...actually in those over nights...sleep was never a problem. Sleep was my little personal friend. I used to tell people, \"The reason your eyes water when you yawn when you\'re awake, is that you miss your friendly little bed, and that makes you sad.\"

Angels Again
no
Angela is a special lady. My Lady Wonder Wench and I have known her for a long time. I call her \"Angels.\" She has a problem with the beast right now. She can use whatever prayers and/or positive power thoughts you can send her. Today\'s podcast will give you an idea of the funny way we met. \"Angels\" is a good, tough, Brooklyn lady. If anybody can beat the beast, it\'s Angels. Please help. She\'s special.

Bunches Of Hunches
no
I\'m guessing that just from the sound of my voice, you can tell where I\'m recording this podcast. That\'s not a hunch, it\'s a guess. Because I\'ve given you lots of hints over the years. There\'s a difference between a hunch and a guess. A guess has a lot of figuring out involved. A hunch just hits you. If I thought I had a shot at having my Lady Wonder Wench join me for a night of passion all those years ago based on the fact that she was smiling at me lot, twiddling with her hair, and standing very close to me that would be a good guess. That\'s not what happened. I took one look at her and my head exploded. That was what you could call a major league hunch. No figuring out at all. There are bunches of important hunches in our lives that we usually don\'t notice. Lots of times it\'s because we tend to look at life through the wrong end of a telescope. For example, the stats say around a half of American marriages don\'t work out. That\'s awful. But take a closer look through the other end of that same telescope. According to that same stat, around half of American marriages DO work.

Exceptional Beats Perfect
no
I am sitting here in my exceptionally comfortable and manly black leather poppa chair in my living room. It now has a small streaky spot on the left arm rest where I spilled a little coffee a few mornings ago. So it is now exceptional as opposed to perfect. It\'s like lots of you who are listening to this podcast right now...many of you are also exceptional, but you\'re not perfect. And that\'s good. Because nobody is perfect, and you are not a nobody.

My Lust Lion
no
I am once again sitting here in my big, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room, and let me tell you it\'s a lot more comfortable than the seat at gate D15 at Philadelphia airport where I was stuck a few weeks ago because of another cancelled flight. I told you a few podcasts back that the airlines are screaming for pilots because 96% of American pilots are guys, and in the last 30 years, young guys have had a 52% drop in testosterone which as you know is a key ingredient in being a guy. And although women don\'t have much testosterone, they have mostly estrogen which seems plentiful enough, but they aren\'t stepping up to fill the gap. They\'re not becoming pilots. And that\'s a major reason the airlines keep cancelling flights. Not enough pilots. Lots of people are making sex pretty complicated these days, and God bless them too. But not me. I like the simple fact that I\'m one sex and my Lady Wonder Wench is the other. I\'m a simple guy. I\'m a simple guy but I have some complicated parts. I also explained a few podcasts ago about my lower reptilian brain. Everybody has a lower reptilian brain, including you. Even if you\'re a woman. That\'s one of the very few things I know about women. They have a lower reptilian brain just like guys do. Scientists say your lower reptilian brain is part of your limbic system. I like to think of mine as kind of a friendly little wee beastie. I call my wee beastie lower reptilian brain Rumplestilskin Pharfenugen. Pharf for short. In case you slept through brain surgery class, your lower reptilian brain is responsible for some of the biggest troubles you get into. Instead of being just a wee beastie, your lower reptilian brain sometimes becomes a WHEE Beastie. That\'s when you hear guys saying things like, \"Watch this\". And \"Bring it…let\'s see what you\'ve got…bring it\" to the biggest guy in the bar. And \"Hello my dear. Your place or mine?\"

Wind Your Watch
no
Please keep this podcast around for the next time you get so OUTRAGED that you\'re tempted to do something you\'ll regret. \"Wind your watch\" Mike said...between clenched teeth. Mike was my first flight instructor all those decades ago. His teeth were clenched because I had the plane stalled. It was pointed straight down and it was starting to spin, and I was reaching like a mad man for buttons and switches and pulling on levers...instead of THINKING. Mike was teaching me a pilot saying that goes: \"When you notice that one wing just fell off, the first thing to do is to wind your watch.\" It\'s a reminder that it\'s not a good idea to just throw a bunch of switches and pull a lot of levers until you take a breath, and actually understand what needs to be done...THEN DO IT. Remembering to wind your watch is one way to break the momentum of fear, and it gives you a chance to get things back under reasoned control. It was a hard lesson well learned. Thanks Mike. Mike probably had to wind his watch at least ten times to keep from just grabbing the controls that day. I think we\'re at a \"Wind your watch\" time in America right now. This never was, isn\'t now, and never will be a political podcast. I don\'t like politics. I mentioned a few podcasts ago, that \"Politics\" is a \"Fortune cookie word.\" You can break open a fortune cookie word, and read the message inside. Break the word \"Politics\" apart and you get \"Poli\" which means many, and \"Ticks\" which are small blood sucking insects. In many cases the message inside the word politics fits lots of folks in Washington very well.

Getting Over Growing Up
no
I am sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable black leather poppa chair in my living room...enjoying the fact that I have gotten over GROWING UP. That\'s a surprising statement from a guy who spent most of his life fooling around on the radio. So what made me say it? I figured out a little test for how you can tell you\'re getting over growing up today, and I passed it. Here\'s what I mean. Can I open my own peanut butter jars? Yes. Do I really understand how my car is going to get through a tiny little tunnel way up the road ahead? Yes. Can I can buy all the toys I want...within reason? Yes. Just no personal jets. And I can recognize that even if there are nasty things under my bed, I\'m not afraid to go to sleep. And speaking about being afraid, I have come to the definite conclusion that it is better to be scared than to be bored. I have far more often regretted what I didn\'t do than what I did do in getting over growing up.

Too Sexy For Studies
no
No, no, no, no. I do not believe this report from Harvard University. I\'m trying hard not to fall out of my big, manly, black leather poppa chair while I\'m laughing from reading this thing. This report says \"Posting views on Facebook and other social media sites delivers a powerful reward to the brain similar to the pleasure from food and sex.\" No, no, no guys...that may be true...but only if you have food and sex while you\'re wearing your fully buttoned up, tight fitting white lab coat. There is something wrong with that study. And there are all kinds of studies like that these days. Dr. Gay Guzinski, M.D. of the American College of Obstetricians published a study just now that says, \"Women who are multi orgasmic can and do remain so for their entire lives.\" So how does he know that? The only way he would know that for sure is if he spends way too many nights working late with his intern whose name is Desiree. It\'s all in the name of science...of course. Doctors, doctors, doctors...un-button your tight fitting white lab coats and try the experiment again following Dr. Guzinski\'s lead. I think you will find that when you have wandered into a ladies\' erogenous zone, she will often smile, purr, and writhe all at once. And I guarantee you\'ll notice that. Some ladies even say something in a romance language...something like \"WHOOPIE.\"

Lower Reptillian Brain
no
My lower reptilian brain just went on maximum overload red alert, sitting here in my big, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room. Actually my fanny is sitting here in the chair, it was my brain that just exploded. That happens fairly frequently when I watch the day\'s news on TV. It\'s the kicker stories at the end of the newscasts that get to me. Riots, threats of nuclear war, and another politician caught where his hand shouldn\'t be...maybe in a financial cookie jar, or on a lady\'s personal anatomy...I can deal with those things. But it\'s the stories at the end of the newscasts that sometimes light the fuse on my lower reptilian brain. As you probably know, they\'re called kickers. Here\'s one from today: \"A new medical report says many men are having allergic reactions to a certain brand of latex condom. The allergic reaction causes severe swelling\" My lower reptilian brain keeps yelling...\"So what\'s the problem\"...a condom causes swelling. At my age that could be a benefit. Here\'s another. \"Young men are 4 times more likely than young women to get kidney stones.\" Right. More injustice. Young men get kidney stones, young women get diamonds. See what I mean? Diamonds are a girl\'s best friend. Dogs are a man\'s best friend. \"27% of Facebook users say they have checked their facebook page while using the bathroom.\" My lower reptilian brain keeps telling me if that percentage ever exceeds 50% we should perhaps no longer call it FACEbook. Everybody has a lower reptilian brain. Including you. Scientists say your lower reptilian brain is part of your limbic system. I like to think of mine as kind of a friendly little wee beastie. I call my wee beastie Rumplestilskin Pfarfenugen. Pfarf for short. Pfarf causes problems for me sometimes.

Sex and Your Airline Flight
no
My flight out of Philly just got cancelled, and I think the cancellation was caused by Sex. They claim it\'s due to mechanical problems, but I think the reason just might be sex. Lots of flights these days are cancelled because of sex. It has nothing to do with something going on in the bathroom of the pilot\'s lounge between the hunky pilot and a sexy flight attendant. It has to do with testosterone...or the lack of it. Testosterone is a key ingredient for guy-hood. And I think that might really be why my flight was just cancelled. Here\'s what I mean. 96% of the approximately 600,000 American pilots are guys. And in the last 30 years American men have had a 52% drop in testosterone. That\'s not a sexist statement, it\'s a medical statistic. The airlines are screaming for pilots. They\'re beginning to cancel more and more flights, because some picky-picky passengers still prefer flying in airplanes with pilots in the cockpit.

I\'m sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable black leather poppa chair in my living room, trying to figure things out. Things like \"Why is everybody always taking selfies these days?\" Could it be that it\'s because nobody else is interested? What would be a completely safe security question? How about \"What is the meaning of life?\" If we\'re not supposed to have midnight snacks, how come a light comes on when you open the refrigerator door? Why should we want to save the planet? How about because this is where we keep all our stuff, including our lovers, our chocolate and our beer. What does the word MATH stand for? Could it be Mental Abuse To Humans? What kind of answer would you get if you really did ask your doctor if the advice you got from a TV commercial was right for you? If the system isn\'t broken, does that mean it\'s fixed? How can we say no to negativity? And how come there aren\'t many well behaved people in the history books? Give the podcast a listen.

What happened when \"Lawn Tractor Man\" met \"Piano Man\"? Something happened. This podcast was done years ago. But it was by far the most downloaded podcast of all TODAY, and there are 558 podcasts in all. It has a story in it about NYC Police Detective Bill McGroaraty, who was a friend of mine until the bad guys got him. And there\'s a story about some chest thumping, sweat stained pride in having the fastest lawn tractor on the block. And there\'s also a story about two pilots and a woman...a story that took a lot of discipline for me to write because it hits pretty close to home. But it was published years ago. How come after all this time, it ranked as the most downloaded podcast of all time. I don\'t know \"Whassup\" but maybe you can tell me. I\'d really like to know. My email is dick@dicksummer.com

1997
no
I am sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly black leather poppa chair in my living room, reading a newspaper. A NEWSPAPER. Do you remember reading a NEWSPAPER? And it\'s published by the AARP! I guess that explains why when I fill out an on line form it takes forever to scroll down to my birth year. And why I sometimes think 1997 was ten years ago. I have good memories from 1997. My phone plugged into the wall in 1997. And I used the dial up method of getting on the internet. It took a while, but I had a while to spend back then. MTV played music videos in 1997. And the songs that were their picks to click back then are now called Classic Hits on You Tube. I carried paper pictures of my Lady Wonder Wench and the rest of my family in my wallet back then. There were only two genders in 1997, and I was one of them and my Lady was the other. Hard to realize that back then was now in 1997. Which maybe explains why when I sneezed yesterday, my back hurt all day.

Fortune Cookie Words
no
I like fortune cookie words. Break some words apart, like a fortune cookie, and sometimes you find interesting messages inside. The word \"Politics\" is a good example. Break it apart and you find \"poli\" which means many and \"ticks\" which refers to annoying little blood sucking bugs. Do politics ever annoy you...like a bunch of little bugs crawling around on you...drinking your blood? I like sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room, breaking fortune cookie words apart, because lots of times the hidden messages inside tell you something valuable. Impossible is a fortune cookie word. \"Im\" means I am, and the rest of the word is \"possible.\" So break the fortune cookie word \"Impossible\" apart, and you get a boot in the butt that tells you to get up off your fanny and give something hard a try. Break open the fortune cookie word \"analyst\" and you find the word \"anal\" meaning anal, and \"ist\" which in this case means person. So breaking open the fortune cookie word you find that an analyst is an anal person...particularly a political analyist...they\'re all over the cable news networks. And they are painful...in the butt.

Back in the day when there were daily duck and cover drills, when we practiced putting our school desks between us and thermo-nuclear distruction, there was a group of friends who called themselves, \"The Royal Order Of The Purple Shaft.\" I was a charter member, along with John, Jerry, Frank, and Leo. We have all lost touch over the years. But a time warp ZAP! happened this week. John\'s daughter Jane sent me an email, and I think at least part of the Royal Order shall ride the shaft again. Jane says she remembers meeting me at a radio station… specifically WNBC in New York. She is now a knock out graphics artist but she was just a little kid back then. I don\'t know if she has kids of her own, but I\'ll find out. Lots of girls these days don\'t want to have kids when they find out that it takes 9 months to download a kid.

Who Do You Trust?
no
Who do you trust? I\'m sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable black leather poppa chair in my living room, looking at one person in my life who I can trust, completely. My Lady Wonder Wench. She\'s in her pink bathrobe, with her left leg tucked up under her butt, and she\'s sticking out her tongue a little while she\'s squinting through a magnifying glass at a cross stitch pattern she\'s working on. I\'m a lucky guy in lots of ways. There are several other friends and relatives in my life that I can completely trust. I\'m finding out that lots of people don\'t have anybody they can trust in their lives, and I don\'t know how they get from one day to another...not really trusting anybody. The late, great, Johnny Carson did a TV show called, Who Do You Trust. Married pairs of contestants were asked to answer some questions. The husband decided which one would answer. Right there you can see that was back in the old black and white TV days. You\'d need a staff of divorce lawyers right there in the studio if you tried that these days. And you can\'t necessarily trust experts today either. I explained the word expert a while ago, but if you missed it, the word ex refers to something you had, like an ex husband or wife...and the word pert means lively and perky. So an ex pert is simply one who used to be lively and perky... not necessarialy so much now.

This just in from a big tourist company: \"What vacationers want to do most on vacation is nothing.\" That\'s not big news to those of us who are members of the Louie Louie Generation. But...remember that Big Louie...the head guy of the Louie Louie Generation says in my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot, available at Amazon dot com...shameless plug...Big Louie always says, \"There\'s never enough time to do all the nothing you want to do.\" And as usual, he\'s right. But not for the reason you might think. You simply can\'t do completely nothing, because doing nothing is doing something. Think of the word recreation. Re-Creation. Creation is a very big thing according to a very big best selling holy book...where it says God spent all week creating everything, then on the seventh day...even the Almighty God had to knock it off and rest for a day. Look, creating stuff is hard work. It doesn\'t matter if you create stuff by building a house, making potato salad, or figuring a way to get to Mars and back.

Non-Judgment Day
no
I like sitting by the window when my Lady and I go to Applebees for our regular Friday night dinner out. The window shade was down this Friday, so I pulled it back up so my Lady and I could watch the world outside spin around. We like to do that, because we like to watch the other people arriving for their Friday night dinners out. Are they holding hands? What\'s he doing with a girl as pretty as she is? Oh please don\'t bring that screaming kid in here. We had just started guessing what a young couple was watching on their smart phones as they were walking in, when a middle aged guy came storming over to our table, pulled the shade back down, looked at me and said, \"You pulled that shade up so the sun is hitting me right in the eyes. I\'m going to kick your ass.\" Without thinking, I stood up fast, so I could return the favor. I have some martial arts training. I was pretty good at it. In fact after my first Karate lesson I found I could break a 2 inch board with my cast. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, where you can go ten blocks and never leave the scene of a fight. I was such a tough young guy that I could actually get taxis in Manhattan…right at Penn Station. I instantly and completely forgot that at my present Louie Louie Generation stage of life, weight lifting consists of just managing to stand up.

Shocked I Tell You
no
Sacred excrement. I knew this was going to happen eventually. But it knocked me right out of my big, manly, comfortable black leather poppa chair in my living room anyway. This just in...seriously: \"A Vancouver Buildings Council has blocked the lease of a restaurant property to the fish-and-chips chain \"Moby Dick\" on the grounds that \"Dick\" is an offensive word. The restaurant chain says the name has \"Literary significance\" and does not refer to male genitalia. Dick is not an offensive word.\" No. Dick is my name. I am occasionally not offensive. Dick was also my dad\'s name, it is my name, and the name of a couple of other reasonably un-offensive guys I know. I figured this would eventually happen because that\'s where we\'re going. We are becoming a \"Win or Whine\" society. First there was the famous \"N\" word. And doesn\'t that sound weird to you when some well dressed, well paid fantastically famous newscaster is reporting on a serious story with a straight face, and he\'s talking about \"Senator so and so\" who shocked his audience by using \"The N Word.\" \"Shocked I tell you.\" By the way, \"Shocked I tell you\" is a very funny quote said by a corrupt cop in the old, black and white Bogart movie called \"Casablanca.\" The cop in question is closing a nightclub because he has just supposedly found out that there\'s illegal gambling going on. As he\'s saying \"I am shocked, shocked I tell you that there is gambling going on here\", one of the employees comes up to him with his evening\'s winnings. But of course he\'s \"Shocked, shocked I tell you\" that there\'s illegal gambling going on. Sacred excrement.

Gettiing Back In Whack
no
I Just came back from a quick trip to our favorite diner with my Lady Wonder Wench. It\'s in a college town nearby. I couldn\'t figure out what was going on. Out of 13 couples we saw, only one couple was holding hands. That seemed very much out of whack. My mind often jumps from one thing to another, so I started wondering what is this whack some of us are so often out of. And I got one answer when I sat down here in my big, manly, comfortable black leather poppa chair in my living room and started thumbing through Astronomy magazine. Some astronomers call the formation of our moon, \"The Big Whack.\" They figure something very big smacked the earth a long time ago, and the stuff that flew off the earth eventually became the moon. Evidently that kind of thing happens a lot more than we know. One day about 66 million years ago a 6 mile wide asteroid slammed into the earth off the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. The explosion was as powerful as millions of nuclear bombs. It kicked up billions of tons of vaporized rock, filling the sky with dark clouds that blotted out the sun for decades. Temperatures around the world dropped by around 50 degrees. That killed off the dinosaurs because there was nothing for them to eat. Their disappearance led to the rise of mammals...which is a fancy word for creatures that eventually became...us. Timing is everything. The smart guys in the white lab coats tell us that if that big rock had fallen just 30 seconds earlier or later it would have landed in the deep part of the ocean, and it wouldn\'t have created that cloud...which means most dinosaurs would have survived, and we probably wouldn\'t be having this conversation right now. Because mammals probably wouldn\'t have happened.

The Sologamy Story
no
I almost fell out of my big, comfortable, manly poppa chair in my living room just now, when I saw this in a very legit news magazine. \"Longtime single people in places like Brooklyn and San Francisco are now marrying themselves in full ceremonies.\" First of all, I was born and brought up in Brooklyn and I\'ve been to San Francisco. Any comparisons are fraught with foolishness. Brooklyn guys figure a 7 course meal is a hot dog and a six pack. The same cannot be said for guys in San Francisco, because it\'s really hard to tell which people are guys there. Second, and far more important is I don\'t think Sologmasts have really thought this out. It\'s not like if you win a free trip to Paris, you get to go twice. There is a very high divorce rate. What does that do if you marry yourself? If you divorce yourself, who gets what?

Distractions
no
Distractions, distractions, distractions. They\'re all over the place. I was sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable poppa chair trying to get started on a new podcast yesterday when a four engine, 6 ton wasp hit the glass door here in my living room. I mean he hit it. I thought he was going to break the glass. He didn\'t break the glass, but the whack must have made him dizzy, because he fell down, and glared up at me...and buzzed. I could hear him through the double glass door. There are a lot of wasps in our yard this time of year, and some of them don\'t understand glass, so they whack into the glass door. Generally they just get up and fly away. This guy didn\'t. I swear he was standing there at the bottom of the door, and glaring up at me. Now I\'m not an expert at wasp anatomy, but it looked to me like he was standing on his back legs, and he raised one of his front legs and pointed it at me...I think he was giving me a waspy center finger. I forgot about the podcast, because I am a man, and I wasn\'t going to let this challenge to my masculinity pass. I keep a can of wasp spay right there by the door, because as I said we have lots of them this time of year. So I picked up the can, and very carefully opened the door...just a crack. I didn\'t want him getting into the house, because if my Lady Wonder Wench saw him she would become a pink streak running into the bedroom where she would lock the door and drag her dresser in front of it and vow never to come out until I whacked that wasp... and she would insist that I slide his scalp under the door to prove it before she would come out again.

Peek-A-Boo
no
I\'ve just had a \"Peek-a-boo I see you\" experience at my eye doctor\'s office. Peek-a-boo I see you is the only game you can\'t cheat at. And it\'s magic. Real magic. Especially the I see you part. You put your hands up over your eyes and everything disappears...except what\'s inside you. You catch a quick glimpse & a feeling of what\'s really inside yourself. No words just a few quick images and sometimes deep feelings. It\'s like taking a selfie of your entire universe for a moment. Then you put your hands down and the rest of the whole world suddenly re-appears, and puts you back in your place...or at least the place where you think you belong. It\'s like you\'re in control of the universe for just that moment. There are no words in there. Just some fast images and...feelings. That\'s why even the littlest baby instinctively understands the game and laughs. No words, just feelings. A baby laughs when you play peek-a-boo with him because what\'s inside him is happy. That\'s a natural reaction to the fact that you\'re paying attention to him.

Scratching My Head
no
I\'m sitting here in my big, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room, scratching my head again. Those of us who are guys in long term relationships with someone who is estrogen enriched and has a high voice and confusing ways will understand. Arguing with a woman is like reading a software license agreement. In the end it\'s best to ignore almost all the endlessly depressing small print and just click \"I agree.\" When you sense something has gone wrong in your relationship because you notice she is throwing your clothes out the window, and you innocently ask \"what\'s wrong\", she will often say...\"nothing.\" So now we can understand that when a woman says \"nothing\" she sometimes means plenty of something. Women tend to react that way after you\'ve told too many fart jokes at a party...or when you notice an extremely attractive and very silicone enhanced person slowly undulating down the street, and you mention how much fun it would be if breast implants came with little squeaky toys inside...better lock your windows if you do that.

Gratitude Attitude
no
Thanks for dropping in here on my podcast. I can use the company. I lost a little Louie Louie this week. If you remember how happy hearing Louie Louie used to make you, you\'ll understand what I mean. It was a middle finger kind of week. Almost, but thankfully not quite, a \"Sounds of Silence\" time. So now, I\'m sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable black leather poppa chair in my living room, trying to figure out how to get my Louie Louie back. I think I need a shot of emotional Viagra. As the jazz great B.B. King used to say, \"Playing the blues makes some guys happy.\" Not me. The Wall Street guys would probably put it differently. They might say, \"The sky is falling this week.\"But I know it\'s not, As they\'d say, \"It\'s just a slight correction.\" It\'s been a tough week. I\'ve been trying to get back the Gratitude Attitude that I wrote about in my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot. It\'s easy to start feeling old when you\'ve been around for quite a while. But I\'ve got to put the gratitude attitude back to work. So I think I\'ll remind you that the money they take out of your check for Social Security...they\'re sending it to me. Ha. That makes me feel a little better.

Alone vs Lonely
no
I\'m sitting here in my big, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room, contemplating the great divide between men and women. I know a couple of really smart, pretty women who are leading lonely lives...I think un-necessarily. In my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot, there\'s a story about a Louie-Louie Generation lady I saw in an Applebee\'s bar recently. She was eyeing some guy sitting alone. She reached into her pocket book for a small perfume bottle, squirted some on her little lace hankie, slipped it into the guy\'s jacket pocket, smiled up at him and walked away without saying a word. Naturally, he caught up with her and asked her what that was all about. She just said, \"It looks good in your pocket.\" Then she asked if he went there often, and shook her head as if she couldn\'t hear and said, \"It\'s noisy in here,\" and she leaned over toward him so she could hear his answer. The guy didn\'t stand a chance. That lady knew the secret. Just ask. I\'ve never seen a woman get turned down when she says to a guy, \"Would you like to come up to my apartment?\" Why don\'t more women ask men more often? Men are easy. Just ask...and ye shall usually receive.

The Heart Throb Headline
no
Today\'s Headline: Heartthrob Kit Harrington, the brooding, sword-wielding hero Jon Snow in HBO\'s Game of Thrones, is fed up with women swooning over him, hearts throbbing like mad. Awww. Let\'s say it all together guys at the count of 3. 1-2-3...AAwww the poor guy. He says, \"It\'s blatantly sexist.\" Yes, and I am shocked...shocked I tell you. And not the least bit jealous. Because I\'m a real guy. If you women started spreading some of that excess swooning and throbbing over Kit around to the rest of us guys we wouldn\'t complain like he does. Because real guys don\'t complain. We just soldier on...even in the face of such throbbing, festering female ferocity. But if you\'re going to pitch in and throb for us too ladies, you can\'t start too soon. According to the Washington Post, Americans had about 33% less sex last year compared to 1990. And the smart guys in the white lab coats at the University of Pittsburgh say spending too much time on Facebook, Twitter, You Tube and Instagram seems to be the main reason. Virtual reality is beating meat reality. Instead of \"Your place or mine,\" It\'s now \"Hey babe...want to peek at my password?\" Maybe it\'s just me, but that sounds as exciting as biting into a chocolate bar that has a leaf of lettuce inside.

I Lied
no
I am generally in favor of telling the truth. Truth is powerful. But last week I lied. I lied to Facebook. I told them my birthday was last week, they put up a notice to that effect and somewhere around 400 of you sent Happy Birthday greetings...for which I sincerely thank you...I tried to answer all of you, to tell you thanks, I didn\'t mean to lie to you, I only meant to lie to the Facebook computer, and I really do appreciate your good wishes. But after about 100 answers, my computer screwed up and stopped working. There are at least 2 lessons here. Lesson #1 is, \"Never let a computer know you\'re in a hurry.\" Lesson #2 is, \"Never let a computer program like Facebook know all about you, because computers can\'t keep secrets, they\'ll blab to anyone who knows how to hack.\" So now, I\'m sitting here in my big, manly black leather poppa chair, trying to figure out which of these to believe: \"He who hesitates is lost,\" or \"Look before you leap.\" Common sense says they can\'t both be true but there\'s an ELEMENT of truth in both of them. It\'s not like, \"The check is in the mail\" or \"I\'m from the government and I\'m here to help you.\"

Barbara's February Flower
no
Once upon a time, many, many years ago, I was cutting down a pine tree in my most manly way, and my ax split off a small chunk of wood that had a smaller plug inside. You know how a hot dog looks in a bun? That\'s kind of what it looked like. It was... unusual. And it smelled wonderful...it was pine. So I gave it to my Lady Wonder Wench. She still has it on her dresser all these years later. She keeps treasures like that...shells from various beaches we\'ve visited on vacations we\'ve enjoyed...a very old shirt of mine that she used to wear at night when I was away on business...A Christmas poem I wrote for her, many Christmases ago...a ring I made out of the top of an old snap top soda can. They\'re like 3D selfies of the times of our lives. I\'m pretty sure I found something to add to her collection yesterday. The smart guys in the white lab coats call it an Eranthis Hyemalis. But I just call it Barbara\'s February Flower because Barbara is my Lady\'s name. Barbara\'s February Flower is a tiny bright yellow flower...about the size of a dandelion. And I found it growing next to our driveway yesterday. In order for you to understand why I think she\'ll find a way to keep it, you need to know that I\'m recording this podcast near the end of February...in Pennsylvania. As in it\'s so cold you could freeze an egg on the sidewalk. And please...no more snow. You say, \"Hello\" but nobody hears you because the words freeze and fall down on the sidewalk.

Hair On Fire
no
It seems to me that everybody\'s hair is on fire these days. People are scared. When opportunity knocks these days, by the time you look through the peephole, put your shot gun away, tie up your Doberman and slide back the dead lock to open your door, opportunity is long gone. Politics have been going from bad to worse every year, and this year they got there. There\'s an explanation for that right there in the word politics. Poli means many. And tics are small, blood sucking parasites. That\'s called using the right word for identifying the problem. The two most common elements in the universe these days are hydrogen and stupidity. Life these days is especially tough for guys. You swim the deepest river for her, you climb the highest mountain for her, you cross the widest desert for her, and she keeps complaining you\'re never home. And how come at Walmart they always have someone demonstrating stuff in the house wares department, but never in the lingerie department. That\'s just not fair. And what is double virgin olive oil? I remember one of the girls in high school...Jeanie... made that claim, but it wasn\'t until our first kiss that I understood it. She closed her eyes, and I closed mine...and we missed.

Pass Your Passion
no
I\'ve been sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair watching a ball game. One of the things I like best about watching sports is the passion involved. It starts with the National Anthem just before the game begins. I sometimes sing along with the Star Spangled Banner. I do the best I can with the high notes. That gives me a freebie connection with the people who paid to get into the ballpark. I like that connection. It feels like we are passing the passion for the game back and forth. When I sing about the bombs bursting in air, I can almost smell the hot dogs with mustard and \'kraut and taste the cold beer. Sometimes the military sends a flight of jets over head. That gives me a chill. Pride will do that to a guy. Pride and passion. I\'m a pilot and I know how hard it is to fly tight formation like that. The wing man is sometimes only literally inches away from the lead\'s tailfeathers…and they\'re doing a zillion MPH. That takes skill and courage. And passion.

How Come
no
The \"Backache Monster\" sank his claws into my spine yesterday, so I\'ve been sitting here in my big, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room counting the few moving parts I seem to have left...on the fingers of one hand. I had a TV dance party show in what seems like a few eons ago. I used to do the Watusi, the Mashed Potatoes, and the Loco Motion with the kids. I didn\'t do the Twist because of my bad knees. How come they don\'t have dances like that anymore? How come? How come they don\'t have TV Dance party shows anymore? Come to think of it, maybe they do, and our kids just won\'t tell us about them. Speaking about \"How Comes,\" How Come the alarm only goes off when it\'s on? And how come the sun on the Raisin Bran box is wearing sun glasses? And how come you have to walk to the back of the drug store to pick up your prescription, but the cigarettes are right up front? And where does the white go when the snow melts?

Hanging On To Some Stuff
no
Some things can go away. Some things we\'ve got to keep. So as I am sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room I thought I\'d tell you about a phone call from our granddaughter Cassie. Cassie was talking about politics, and how some politicians just go on and on and on about the same ideas. I said \"Yeah, like a broken record.\" Cassie said, \"What do you mean, Poppa?\" I rememberd her age, took a deep breath, and said something like \"It means there\'s a scratch in the record, and it\'s so bad that the record keeps repeating.\" Cass said, \"Oh. Like a corrupted MP3 file.\" Drawing on my great command of the language, I said...\"Mmmm yeah.\" But it got me to thinking about stuff you don\'t hear any more. Stuff that\'s gone. Because sometimes it just...disappears and we don\'t notice when it was disappearing. The click of the channel changer on the TV...not the remote...the knob on the TV. The ka-ching of an old time cash register. A typewriter key hitting paper. The click-whirr of a rotating phone dial. The clang of a bell in a pay phone. Chalk scraping across a blackboard. The rustle of corduroy pants. The grinding sound of a pencil sharpener. The perk-perk of a coffee percolator. I\'ve been making instant coffee for a long time. All that stuff is gone. And we didn\'t notice when it left.

Toxic Testosterone
no
I am sitting here in my big, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room quietly overcoming my toxic masculinity. Seriously. Duke University and Ithaca College are just two of a whole sclunge of institutions of higher learning that are proving that some ideas are so silly, that only intellectuals with Phds will believe them. They are running courses and workshops devoted to curbing what they call Toxic Masculinity. They haven\'t the slightest idea of what they\'re talking about. They obviously don\'t understand the simple but classic effects of testosterone. They don\'t understand that testosterone makes a guy has to make believe he never needs any help. Directions are help. That\'s why he never reads them. A guy has to believe he can fix anything. Maybe not this instant, but...soon. He must never go to a therapist or a doctor unless he can be clinically proven that he has been dead for at least a year. \"No sense going to a hospital, dear. I don\'t seem to be in a coma right now.\" Dumb right? Yes. But toxic? No. Just testosterone.

Puberty
no
I have been sitting here in my big, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room doing these podcasts for quite a while now. Quite a time for me isn\'t the same as it is for archeologists. My Lady Wonder Wench is interested in archeology, which is good for me, because I am hoping she will get more interested in me as I get older. As Big Louie, the Head Guy of our Louie Louie Generation always says, \"Grow old, not dim. If you have any moving parts left, for heaven sake, MOVE EM!\" I realized in the fifth grade, that men and women have different moving parts. When Summer vacation came around in the fourth grade, all the boys and girls were pretty much the same. But in September, and fifth grade started, the girls came back a foot taller, and they had...moving parts. It was like they went to Summer bosom and giggles camp. And the fact that they were a foot taller meant that our eyes were cruelly positioned at bosom level...and we weren\'t ready for it. Some of us are still not ready for it.

WHY?
no
Time to take five and figure out the great \"Whys\" in life in this podcast. That means different things for different people. For example: A famous astronomer is trying to figure out why something called \"Dark Matter\" makes up most of the universe. She claims that although it makes up most of the universe, we can\'t see it feel it or taste it...but it\'s definitely there...and without it, all the planets would go whizzing off in different directions. So why can\'t we see it, feel it or taste it? My \"Whys\" are a little less...cosmic. I wonder for example why, if there is a Mayo Clinic, why isn\'t there a Mustard Clinic. And although it is true that beauty is skin deep, why would you want a beautiful liver? And if a woman farts, why she is embarrassed? Guys aren\'t embarrassed by a fart. Farts to a guy are an endless source of entertainment, male bonding, and self expression. And on the subject of \"Whys,\" how come when a woman uses the word \"Fine,\" it is time for a guy to just shut up, because the conversation is really over. On the other hand, when a woman uses the word, \"Nothing\" why does it REALLY mean \"Something.\" And why do conversations with a woman that begin with the word \"Nothing\" often end with the word, \"Fine?\" And when a woman says, \"Go ahead\"...why should you not go ahead and do it. A woman\'s \"Go ahead,\" seems to be the mirror image of when a guy says, \"Hey...watch this.\"

Christmas Night
no
Finally...I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room...recuperating. When I was a kid, I used to hate when Christmas night came around, because that meant it was 365 days till the next Christmas. \"Don\'t cry because something is over, smile because that something happened\" is a lesson that takes a while to sink in. I love Christmas, but it can whack you. I start looking for Christmas presents around Labor Day, because one of the things I like best about Christmas is finding gifts that are different, and personal, and happy. I do the Santa-ing for the guys on our list, & my Lady Wonder Wench takes care of the ladies. I usually get the guys toys...because that\'s what I like. Christmas is a kid\'s birthday. Kids like toys. I let my little kid out to play at Christmas. Little kids understand Christmas much better than grownups do. I\'ll prove that to you in this podcast.

It's Christmas Past Again
no
It\'s Christmas Past Again is the title of this podcast. It\'s about a lot of things that define Christmas for me and for my Lady. Rock hard and super sticky grammar school green and red Christmas candy, a portable radio that shaped my life, Mom\'s home-made apple dumplings, pictures from a long time ago, decorations for the tree including a tall, skinny Santa that reminds us of her dad, and a finely crafted Christmas ball from my German Grandfathers\'s tree...and remembering him singing Stille Nacht, thinking about maybe going home...one more time. It\'s about how the Salvation Army saved Christmas for my Lady one year, a long time ago, and about a Christmas flight that can\'t ever happen again. And...tears. Christmas is also about tears. This podcast is a personal treasure. I thought I\'d wrap it up, and give it to you. Merry Christmas.

I\'m not sure when this one from Proud Podcast Participant Bill came in, but hey...It works. In fact, by the time we get to the end of it, you may notice your egg nog squirting out of your nose. What better way to celebrate Christmas?

The Hark Mark
no
The word \"Hark\" gets high marks for getting attention. The Herald Angels always said, \"Hark\" and look at all the attention they get at this time of year. This podcast explains how you can use the word Hark to get attention too. Always a good idea to get attention. Santa is watching.

Christmas Baggage
no
I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room, getting an early start on Santa stuff...looking over some of the notes you wrote to me about Christmas. I read them all, and run some of them in the podcasts and blogs. Then I pack them away for the next year. Some of them make me wonder what happened to the people who sent them. Christmas is so full of memories. Some people call memories baggage. I guess you can say that memories are baggage, but only if you remember how helpless you felt the last time an airline lost your suitcases. Christmas is good music, good food, and if you\'re lucky good, happy people around you. But maybe you\'re not lucky this year. Even if your Christmas memories hurt, it\'s coming. Maybe it will help if you remember what Big Louie, the head guy of the Louie Louie Generation always says, \"You might as well let a smile be your umbrella, because you\'re going to get soaked anyway.\"Come on...send me your Christmas, Hannakuh, Solstice, or Kwanza memories. Happy or sad. The address is Dick at dick summer dot com.

Huh?
no
I\'m sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room, happily thinking I changed the oil in my car last week. When I told My Lady Wonder Wench she said, \"No, you changed the oil in my car last week.\" I said, \"Huh?\" She said \"Go check the little sticker they put on the windshield.\" I did. She was right. I\'m glad I said \"Huh?\" instead of starting an argument. \"Huh?\" is very seldom the last word in a discussion. It\'s usually the start of double checking something. It\'s a good word...\"Huh?\" Because lots of times double checking instead of starting a fight is a very good idea. It\'s not a word we use to start a fight. It just says, \"your idea surprises me, and I need to check it out.\" \"Huh?\" is not only a good start to checking out a fact, it\'s also the most under used word in our language. The most over used word is, \"Well.\" Almost any time a person is answering a question, the first word out of his mouth is, \"Well. \"What\'s the weather going to be like tomorrow Joe? Well...sunny if it doesn\'t snow.\" My friend Al had an operation a while ago, and I asked his doctor if he\'s ok. The doctor said, \"Well...he\'s going to get well.\" Well is the most over used word in the language. But the word that definitely needs more using is, \"Huh?\" And don\'t forget the question mark. It\'s \"Huh?\" \"Huh? Is a very important word. It bedevils lots of important people. Because lots of time, it starts an important double checking of what they call their obvious facts.

App Zap
no
My smart phone is watching me...and it can watch you too. There\'s an app for that. There\'s an app for almost everything. Almost everthing. I am sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room, and I have just come across a new survey from the University of Michigan. They used data from a smart phone app to measure sleep patterns around the world. Our smart phones are watching our every move. There is a smart phone app for everything. Well, almost everything. There is an app that measures your weight, your BMI, your heart rate, & then tells you the weather forecast. Why not a little screen that pops up to tell you where you rate on the ugly or beautiful scale? There\'s an app that tells you when your shower is just the temperature you like. You can\'t just put your hand in the water instead? Then there\'s the Oral-B pro 5000 series that alerts you when you\'re brushing too hard. Seriously. And the August Smart Lock that identifies you by your smart phone and unlocks your door automatically when you\'re getting close. Suppose you lose your smart phone and Dracula finds it?

Improving My Spooning
no
I am sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable black leather poppa chair in my living room trying to get some feeling back in my right arm. Since you know by now that my Lady Wonder Wench and I have been married for a long time, it shouldn\'t shock you to know that we sleep together. And since you know that I am a testosterone soaked Louie Louie Generation wretch it won\'t curl you hair too tightly to know that I often like to sleep with her in the spoon position. That\'s where she\'s lying on her right side, and I get to put my left arm around her for a comfortable, warm, and sexy snuggle. The problem is that the spoon position leans my entire weight on my right arm, which I have to tuck in under my head, and which in about ten minutes produces a pain so far above childbirth that women can\'t possibly imagine it. It\'s worse than the pain that only guys experience when we\'re at a movie theater, and we put our arm around our date\'s shoulder and leave it there through an entire feature film. There has got to be an answer to this problem. If you have any ideas, please send them to dick@dick summer.com. I can really use your help on this.

Hope Is Hot
no
There\'s no such thing as a hopeless romantic. Hope is...hopeful, but it isn\'t sure. That\'s why cynics aren\'t romantic. They have no hope. They are absolutely sure about everything. And the things they\'re sure about are negative. Even about hope they\'re negative. No hope...no romance. What a shame. Today\'s podcast is called \"Hope Is Hot.\" Because without hope, life gets pretty cold. There are a couple of emails in the podcast. One guy writes to say, \"Like you I\'m a little past Springtime in my life. My youth was stolen from me through the years. But I\'ve just decided to get it back.\" Wow. That\'s definitely a Big Louie kind of decision. Do you hear the sound of hope in it? There\'s a Bedtime Story called, \"Lonely Lurks\" in today\'s podcast. It\'s about the threat of giving up hope. Happens to lots of people. That\'s one of the reasons for doing my spoken word CDs. Hope gets slippery some nights. It has a tendency to sneak away in the dark. That\'s why lonely lurks in the dark. Some smart guys in white lab coats just published a survey in which they claim lots of people these days like being alone. What they don\'t explain is that \"alone\" and \"lonely\" aren\'t the same thing. \"Lonely\" still has a touch of hope. Hope is hot. That means it sometimes burns. Which scares some people away. Hiding from hope makes you cynical and conceited. If there\'s only you in your life, who else are you going to think about? Today\'s podcast, and all the spoken word CDs at Dick Summer . com are there because I figure that although a voice can\'t be a complete substitute for having a person around when you need one, but something is better than nothing...especially at night...when your hope sometimes slips off into the dark. I think listening to a friendly voice is one way to feed your hope. Feed the hope, starve the cynicism. Enjoy some romance. In short...live. And hope for love.

Sunrise, Lunchtime, Sunset
no
\"Sunrise, Sunset\" is one of the most beautiful and powerful songs ever to grace Broadway. It\'s from a show called, \"Fiddler on the Roof.\" \"Sunrise, sunset, swiftly fly the years.\" It\'s about a man and woman trying to come to grips with the changes that have taken place during their lives. Sunrise, sunset. A beginning and an end. But I sometimes wonder what happened in between the sunrise and the sunset. What went on at lunch time? \"Sunrise, sunset, Swiftly fly the years, One season following another, Laden with happiness and tears.\" There was a \"Sunrise\" in my life, a very long time ago. My Dad took me to Madison Square Garden in New York for some kind exhibition. Part of the exhibit was a Piper J-3 Cub. Yellow. Fabric. Just like the ones I saw flying over the house in Brooklyn. I think I was 5 years old. Dad picked me up, and put me in the cockpit. I very clearly remember that my eyes felt like about 30 pounds each they got so big. It was the beginning, the Sunrise of my life as a pilot. The Sunset came yesterday. Oh but the lunch time in between was good.

Little Things Mean A Lot
no
I do a lot of these podcasts sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in the middle of the night. The middle of the night is a time for strange thoughts. I think it was in the middle of the night that Louie Pasteur said \"Ok everybody...boil the milk. When everybody woke up they said, \"Boiled milk...Louieeee?\" I don\'t remember who discovered atoms or if it was in the middle of the night. Big Louie says \"You can\'t trust atoms, because they make up everything.\" How about this for weird. Everything you see is made up of atoms, but atoms are way too small to see. Catherine Zeta Jones is a bunch of atoms. I can\'t see her atoms, but I am delighted to be able to see her. I don\'t understand that, but I do appreciate her. Better be careful of getting too chummy with your nearby atoms. Remember what happens if you drop an atom. You get a mushroom shaped cloud. Atoms are so small that a lump of sugar contains as many atoms as there are stars in the universe. Not just the milky way, the whole universe...one lump of sugar. Atoms are wild little things. And little things mean a lot. That\'s the title of a fine old song from the 1950s. Kitty Kallen sang it. They called her Pretty Kitty. She got up close and personal with the mic, and she sang. \"Blow me a kiss from across the room, say I look nice when I\'m not. Touch my hair as you pass my chair, little things mean a lot.\" Sounds like the advice Big Louie gives to the guys in his Louie Louie Generation.\"

How Quickly Our Lives Slip Away
no
E mails occasionally pour in to dick@dicksummer.com. Here\'s one that just poured. It says, \"Dick, Just thought I\'d share a couple of life rules with you that I\'ve learned that have helped my marriage (of 45 years): Rule #1: Instead of arguing or debating with your wife too often, always agree with your wife on all the little things. This will make her happy and make your day go much more smoothly. Rule # 2: EVERTHING is a little thing....For you to share (or NOT to share) with you podcast listeners. -Jim Merrill-\" Jim\'s note got me to thinking. As some of you know, that can be dangerous. As Big Louie, the head guy of the Louie Louie Generation says in my book Staying Happy, Healthy And Hot…available at Amazon…Louie says, \"Salespeople have relationships with buyers. Lovers have romances…together.\" I have a decades long romance with my Lady Wonder Wench, based on the premise that folks who sweat together, stick together. There are some quick rules of thumb that can help you develop some mutual sweat. For example, your bedroom should be a comfortable place for both you and your partner. So take the oil paintings of you with your last 8 lovers off the ceiling. Resist the urge to walk into the room doing the goose step. That can disturb the sensitive partner. Be sure you have good solid drapes so you have something strong to grab on to if things get a little out of control. It may be ok for your lover to talk on the phone during love making as long as the person to whom he or she is not his or her spouse. Or your spouse. One exception is if it\'s his commercial agent who has a booking for a series of national TV commercials. Don\'t mess with that.

Friends & Neighbors
no
Our next door neighbors, Randy and Bernadette invited my Lady Wonder Wench and me over for dinner last night. Having good friends for neighbors is very special. Randy and I have lots of things in common, including working some pretty weird overnight hours. One of our basic points of agreement is, \"There is no life without water, because without water there is no coffee.\" Randy is a lot younger than I am, so he sometimes looks to me for guidance in dealing with the onrushing years. I\'m young at heart, but not so much young in other places. I always tell Randy, \"Life is short, so smile while you still have teeth.\" And, \"We have a left brain and a right brain so we can keep secrets from ourselves. Secrets like \'Why did I just walk into this room? Where did I leave my car? I tell him, \"Be careful, because with age sometimes comes oldness. Don\'t let that happen. You\'re never too old to decide to act younger. Remember what Big Louie says in my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot…\'If you have any moving parts left, for crying out loud…move \'em.\" And I encourage Randy to learn new songs. Like \"I\'ve fallen in love with you and I can\'t get up\" by the See Alice Singers.

Been There Done That Life
no
I have been sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly black leather poppa chair in my living room, cleverly disguised as a responsible adult for quite a while now. It has taken some time, but I have come to the \"Been There Done That\" place in my life. It\'s a comfortable place. A place where I can safely sit back, breathe deeply and say Huh to the great confusions that are all around us. I just saw a commercial that rates a big Huh. It\'s a super on the screen that says the people in this commercial are real people not actors. As some of you know I have done more than my share of voiceovers for TV commercials. People who do TV voiceovers are called voice actors. So I am an actor, but the IRS seems to feel that I am never the less a real person, who better send them the appropriate tax on what I have been paid as an actor. That doesn\'t affect very many people, so that just gets a single breath Huh? I have just read a book written by a very well known smart guy doctor. It gets a three breath Huh? The essential premise of the book is that we are all just walking, talking, sacks of chemicals and electrical connections. Sorry doctor. That gets a great big three breath HUH. I have held a newborn baby in my arms, and I have watched my beautiful , sexy Lady Wonder Wench walk up a flight of stairs in tight jeans, and I have heard John Lennon sing Imagine there\'s no heaven. And along with a half million other New Yorkers, on a late Summer night in Central Park what seems like a lifetime ago, I have heard the New York Philharmonic doing Beethoven\'s Fifth. And Sinatra singing Nelson Riddle\'s arrangement of I\'ve Got You Under My Skin. Just a sack of chemicals and sparks? Huh! I don\'t think so

Toys For Boys
no
Nailed it. The sign on the wall at the airport today. It nailed the explanation for why we boys need to have toys. The sign says, \"Don\'t let the boy die before the man.\" That\'s why God made the word Toy rhyme with the word Boy. Boys need toys. I keep telling you that. I suppose that\'s why an Email one guy sent to me called me the, \"Toy Boy.\" And I kind of like that name. Here\'s what made me want to tell you about this. My Lady Wonder Wench and I were enjoying a charity pancake breakfast at the airport today, and one of the guys had nailed the sign up on the wall of his hanger. It said, \"Don\'t let the boy die before the man.\" I don\'t know who originally said that, but wow it\'s just like Big Louie\'s most important rule. Big Louie is the head guy of the Louie Louie Generation, and in my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot, he always says, \"If you have any moving parts left, for cryin\' out loud, MOVE \'EM\".

Thank You
no
There are some things we simply never admit. For example, when you get a phone call on Saturday morning at 2 AM...and you think, \"Oh my God I hope this is a wrong number,\" but it turns out it\'s a friend who immediately says, \"I didn\'t wake you did I?\" You never admit you were sleeping. You don\'t admit that your idiot friend woke you just when you had a dream going about Catherine Zeta Jones and her twin sister Desire. No sir. When your friend says, \"I didn\'t wake you did I\" you say something like, \"No I was just sitting here in my big, comfortable, black leather poppa chair reading the bible.\" It\'s just one of those harmless lies that keep best friends from taking after Caine and Abel....especially when it comes to politics. That leads me to wonder if there is really anything like a harmless lie. Next time I\'m reading the bible, I\'ll check out the 10 Commandments, and see if I can find any appropriate loopholes. By the way, the first time I looked in the bible, which was a long time ago, I found something that if I tell you about it, I will get into a lot of trouble. The most violently religious among you may even seek an immediate return to the custom of human sacrifice, with me as the honor-ee. But most of you don\'t know where I live, so I think I\'ll tell you anyway.

Once Upon A Time
no
A bunch of guys in powdered wigs and funny hats carrying flintlocks got it right all those years ago. Some of them didn\'t like each other very much, but they understood the value of E Pluribus Unum. Roughly translated that means \"Teamwork.\" We\'re yelling at each other a lot these days, but I\'m glad to see that we still take time out from screaming to enjoy our fireworks, hot dogs, baseball and beer together. I got a lesson about that a while ago at a baseball game. It was a shot in the gut that made me feel so good, so proud that I wrote about it in my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot. It happened at a New York Mets game when the PA announcer asked everyone to \"stand and honor America, as eight year-old Grace [somebody] sings our national anthem.\" I don\'t remember her last name. I wish I did. Because she was amazing.

Oh My Gosh What I Found In the Wash

Oh my gosh what I found in the wash! It\'s an ancient T shirt from my WNBC radio days. It says, \"The Dick Summer Holy City Of Brooklyn Stick Ball Championship and Doo Wop Festival Extravaganza!\" And it still fits. As a matter of fact it looks a little chesty. I called Brooklyn the \"Holy City\" because I was born there. \"What\" you might say \"was the Dick Summer Holy City Of Brooklyn Stick Ball Championship and Doo Wop Festival Extravaganza?\" And that would be a reasonable question. It was FUN, that\'s what it was. See, there was a time when we used to have fun on the radio. We didn\'t play as many songs as today\'s radio guys play, because fun takes some time. This particular hunk of fun was exactly what the title says. We made arrangements with the city to use the parking lot at Brooklyn\'s Riis Park, and we had a free fun day with our listeners. Doo Wop groups from all over town got to sing, and we had a stick ball home run derby. We had all kinds of Brooklyn food. Hot dogs from Nathans, cheese cakes from Juniors...all kinds of good stuff. Oh yeah. We did play a couple of songs too. I don\'t hear a lot of fun on the radio any more. With some wonderful exceptions, almost every station I hear has either lots of songs repeated lots of times, or angry talk hosts encouraging everyone to form into mobs, grab stones and throw them at the government.

Tough Morning

Bad morning this morning. I caught myself saying, \"oooff\" when I stood up this morning. And my feet hurt. And it felt like a bug carrying the dreaded \"instant old virus\" was buzzing around me, looking for a place to bite. So as I was drinking some coffee out of my cup that says \"Dad\" in big brown letters, I realized it was such a nasty morning, that if I didn\'t want to let it spoil my whole day, I\'d better take a minute and think about a couple of ideas from my own book, Staying Happy Healthy And Hot. Idea #1- As long as you have some moving parts left, for cryin\' out loud, move \'em. And idea #2 - You can never tell when something wonderful is going to happen. Think about that one. So many people are afraid that you can never tell when something terrible is going to happen...but it\'s also true that you can never tell when something wonderful is going to happen. Haven\'t you found that to be true?

The Differences Between Us
no
I was in a diner, talking with my Lady Wonder Wench when I got a sudden itch on the back of my hand. So I started scratching it with some of the stubble on my chin. That was just another reminder of how lucky I am to be a man. I can stubble scratch my hands, my arms, some of my shoulders and even parts of a leg if an itch alert happens. Women can\'t do that. I like women, but they have a tough life. My lady recently had to take a mammogram. I don\'t even like the word, \"mammogram.\" It sounds like the woman needs to squeeze her breasts into something like a pdf file, and email it to some doctor. Seriously, I got a fast lesson in how tough it must be to be a woman a long time ago, and I\'ll never forget it. My Lady and I were going home from a concert, and we were walking a couple of blocks to where I\'d parked our car. It was kind of a slow walk because I was on crutches after a knee operation. It was late at night, and it wasn\'t in the best part of Manhattan. All of a sudden I noticed three or four guys who had obviously been partaking of way over the limit amounts of adult beverages coming down the street towards us. They were being kind of noisy. I didn\'t know what to expect. Now I\'m not an especially big guy, but I\'m strong, and I have some martial arts training, and I have always been very well able to take care of myself. But I was on crutches. I knew that if I lost a crutch in a fight I\'d fall down. As it happened, the guys just kept walking past us. I don\'t think they even saw us. But at that moment I realized how vulnerable women must feel all the time. And I\'ll never forget how chilly my spine got. With some few exceptions, most men are simply bigger and stronger than most women. That means women in public almost always have to be on guard, because there are some nasty guys out there. I will never forget that chilly feeling, and it\'s one of the reasons I always hold my Lady\'s hand when we\'re walking together. Always. She says it makes her feel safe. Bingo.

On The Road Again
no
You know on a long drive you start looking for out of state license plates with silly slogans, and strange advertising billboards, and other cars like yours or other cars that are just strange? My Lady Wonder Wench and I were on the road again, going to meet our tall son Eric and his Lady, Brenda halfway between their place in Virginia, and our place in Pennsylvania. We saw plenty of cars that look like ours, and one that looked like nothing I\'ve ever seen. It was a vintage red Mustang with something that looked like a jet plane intake on the hood. One of the advertising signs was so clever I wrote it down. It was a home cleaning service called \"One girl and her bucket.\" Pretty neat. There was a billboard advertising a moving company called, \"Two guys and a truck.\" And you know how you sometimes kid around with each other to pass the time? I remembered an old bit that I tried on my Lady Wonder Wench. It goes like this: What color is snow. What color are clouds. What color is whipped cream. What color are polar bears. Most people say snow and clouds and whipped cream and polar bears are white. Then you ask, What do cows drink.\" Most people say cows drink milk, because you\'ve set them up thinking about white stuff. The right answer of course is that cows drink water. To show you the kind of mind my Lady Wonder Wench uses to do battle with life, here\'s how she answered the questions: Snow is yellowish grey, but sometimes it\'s white. Clouds are all the colors of the rainbow. White underneath, but also yellow and pink. Polar bears are ugly. They\'re dirty yellow. And cows drink...water. Of course. That\'s why after God made man, he stepped back, looked at us, and said I can do better than that, and he made women.

Scratch Your Itch
no
I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room, with a big smile on my face because I have just thoroughly scratched a hard to reach itch on my back. Oooh that feels good. Scratching an itch into surrender is exceeded in pleasure only by certain sexual celebrations too graphic to describe here. Most itches you can scratch all by yourself, but some itches attack in what I call the Zone of Despair. The Zone of Despair is on your back. It\'s only about two inches wide. But you can\'t reach it with either hand. Certainly not if you reach for it over your shoulder. But even if you reach for it from below it\'s just out of your reach. About fifty percent of you are trying it right now...the male fifty percent. The feminine fifty percent are just rolling their eyes out loud, because they\'ve already discovered this for themselves. Sometimes you can reach the Zone of Despair with a fork, but that\'s something you\'ll always remember doing every time you eat with that fork. That fork will always make your steak taste a little different. There are really only a couple of ways of dealing with the Zone of Despair. #1- You can rub against the nearest wall while nobody is watching. #2- You can get into a relationship with someone with great fingernails who is willing to use them on your Zone of Despair. #3- You can buy a back scratcher. Actually, even in the best relationships there are moments of great silences, in which the scratching of your back is not going to happen. So if you don\'t want to wear out your wall paper, you should buy a back scratcher. A guy can get pretty close to his back scratcher. Both a human one and the kind you buy. And the fact is, the kind of back scratchers you buy have certain advantages for guys. They don\'t sulk when you describe Catherine Zeta Jones with excessive enthusiasm. They don\'t get headaches, and they don\'t wish you were George Clooney.

The Woman Whisperer
no
Proud Podcast Person Ryan W. sent me an article from Wikipedia called Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, which we\'ll simply call ASMR, because I don\'t want to break my mouth with the full title. It\'s the key guys. You can be a woman whisperer. You can forget your corny opening lines...stuff like \"Your eyes are as blue as the water in my toilet bowl,\" \"How come I didn\'t hear it when you dropped from heaven,\" \"That blouse looks lovely on you, can you imagine how lovely it would look on my bedroom floor\"...no more of that stuff. This article says ASMR is the subjective experience of euphoria, characterized by positive feelings, relaxation and a distinct static-like tingling sensation on the skin. It typically begins on the scalp, then goes down to the back of the neck, and quickly spreads to the back, arms and legs as intensity increases. It has been called a \"head orgasm, a brain massage, and a spine tingle.\" I call it Woman Whispering. And it\'s so simple. Mainly all you\'ve got to do is speak quietly...or even whisper. And if you want it to work even better, while you\'re whispering, rub her back gently...and watch the little hairs on the back of her neck stand up. ZAP! You\'re a Woman Whisperer.

Ray Ban PIlots
no
I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, black, leather Poppa chair in my living room relaxing. It feels good to relax. Just a little while ago I was sitting in the left front seat of my little airplane, running a checklist to go flying with my buddy Jon. That felt good too. Jon is a flight instructor, and he runs the little airport where I keep my plane. He\'s also been a friend for a long time. John went flying with me to check me out for a BFR. A BFR is a biannual flight review. Every two years small plane pilots like me have to prove to a flight instructor that we probably won\'t crash too often. If I didn\'t pass the test, even though he\'s my friend, Jon would have had to take away my Ray Ban sun glasses. That would have been cruel, And John knows it. Because he is also a small plane pilot, and he shares some of our small plane pilot flight fantasies involving Ray Bans. For example in one of our fantasies, a beautiful, but obviously stressed out flight attendant gets on the PA system and she says, \"Both the pilots have become ill. Is there another pilot on board\" At which point Mr. Small Plane pilot stands up, and using the deepest voice he can manage, he says, \"I\'ll handle this miss.\" He then puts on his Ray Bans, and strides into the cockpit. It doesn\'t matter if it\'s midnight, those Ray Bans go on. And of course regardless of the fact that there\'s a hurricane, an earthquake, and a volcanic eruption going on all around him, Mr. Small Plane Pilot puts that big bird down safely of the runway...at which point Catherine Zeta Jones who happens to be seated in first class rushes up to him and thoroughly fogs up his Ray Bans. Hey...even small plane pilots are entitled to our fantasies.

The Nasties
no
Thanks for dropping in here on my podcast. I like your company. I\'m sitting here relaxing...in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room. It\'s good to relax. Among other things, it\'s a defense against lots of nasty stuff. Big nasties and little nasties. Sometimes when they really pile up, the little nasties start looking like the big ones, and we lose sight of the fact that the Lord wants us be relaxed and happy...otherwise he wouldn\'t have given all of us...except politicians, a sense of humor...and some friends who don\'t mind when you play practical jokes on them. That\'s not being nasty, that\'s having fun. Here\'s what I mean. I was looking all over the place for a missing sock the other day. That\'s irritating. It\'s a small nasty when you have one sock and you\'re looking for the other one. Then I I asked myself, \"Self...why should you suffer looking for the other sock?\" And my self answered, \"You\'re right. That\'s foolish. Take your sock over to your buddy Al\'s house, and give him your missing sock problem.\" So I did. I went over to Al\'s house, and while my Lady Wonder Wench was talking with Al and his wife Jean, I excused myself and went into Al\'s bathroom and slipped my sock into his laundry basket. I figured let him go nuts looking for the other one.

Some Summer's Solo Sleaze
no
Thank you for dropping in here on my podcast. Lots happened today. The new Victoria\'s Secret catalog came in the mail today, and my Lady Wonder Wench came home totally exhausted. She walked in the door and she said, \"You can\'t believe how much I\'ve had it with the idiots out there. Leave me alone.\" Then she went quiet. All day. Being the sensitive Louie-Louie Generation guy that I am, I instantly caught the subtle hint that if I tried any of my famous \"Tricky – Dickie\" stuff on her to re-focus her mind to include some of the positives of pleasures of the flesh, I would risk putting myself in serious danger of having her tempt to remove some of my Viagral parts with a spoon. So I was thinking that an evening of prayer, abstinence and fasting might be in store, even as a power point presentation of the girls wearing the latest fashions in that new Victoria\'s Secret catalogue started running through my head. They had to run. If they slowed down...well...never mind. So it was obvious that I was going to have to relieve the pressures of life unilaterally, with some of the solitary sensual pleasures that are available to all of us. Skipping gaily past the obvious ones that Sister Mary Kucklebuster taught us would result in hairy palms, blindness, and eternal damnation, I began developing the elementary beginnings of a group of activities I have come to call, \"Summer\'s Solo Sleazes\".

The Back Whack Attack
no
Gotta get my back back in whack...according to Dr. D the Chiropractor. He says I have not been straight with you sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room. In fact he claims I have been tilting to the right for some time...not politically...personally. He also says I am heavier on the right side than on the left. By a lot. And one leg is longer than the other. That\'s weird. To understand what happened next it would help if you try to remember that old song about...\" the ankle bone is connected to the hip bone\"...and all the way up your body to your head bone. And also try to remember the skiing video about \"The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat,\" because those two ideas explain what happened when my feet hit the floor getting out of bed this morning. My feet bounced up around my neck, and the mouth part of my head bone popped wide open and made a very loud noise which expressed quite clearly in words of four letters the agony of de-feat. It was clearly Dr. D the Chiropractor time. When I got to his office he said, \"We need some x-rays.\" His nurse flattened my back against the wall, which hurt so much if made the toes on de-feet curl up around my knees, and she aimed the machine at some part of my chest that has a long Latin name...and as Dr. D was unwinding a very long electric cord with a big red button at the end, he said \" Now take a deep breath and hold it,\" then he and his nurse ran down the hall together to a handily positioned lead lined closet. I don\'t know what they were doing in there, but one of them must have bumped against the red button, because the x-ray machine went \"click\" the neon lights flicked, a mosquito that was buzzing across the room crashed, and something that sounded strangely like ka-ching came from the billing office. Long story short, the doctor said the x-rays proved that I have to get my back back in whack.

The Question
no
My sister in law Tanya is smart. But I think she thinks too much. She just sent me an email quoting some self proclaimed genius guru that says, \"The most important human endeavor is the striving for morality in our actions.\" I am not a fan of that kind of BS. In fact, I am not a big fan of self proclaimed genius gurus in general. But her email got me to try to come up with a better answer. So I\'ve been sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly black leather papa chair in my living room thinking about the \"great questions\" like, \"what are we supposed to with our lives,\" and I think I\'ve come up with an answer that works for me anyway. So while the thinking momentum is up and running, I thought I\'d tackle some of the other questions in life. Like, why does the windshield wiper on the driver\'s side always wear out before the one on the passenger side...and why do hot dogs always taste better at a ball game...and what are people who are always smiling really thinking? If anything. And here\'s one. I got to spend some time outside today, watching Mother Nature doing some fancy dances in her best bikini. It was a pretty day. So how come I got to do that while my friend Randy next door, who is a whole lot closer to God than I am, is sick in bed and hurting? What kind of sense does that make? I don\'t know. I have a hard enough time figuring out why you can\'t win \'em all, but you can lose \'em all.

Terrorism On American Roads
no
I am sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable black leather poppa chair, still shaking from an encounter with thousands of home grown idiot terrorists driving their cars. And it reminds me of something Big Louie said in my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot. Louie said, \"Statistics show the 10% of automobile accidents are caused by driving drunk. That means 90% of automobile accidents are caused by stone cold sober idiot terrorist drivers.\" Louie has lots of helpful comments like that. \"Never order pea soup from a waiter who really likes puns\" he says. And \"Everything you see in today\'s politics is probably just an hallucination from breathing oxygen.\" Of course he also claims that rocks are like some ladies. They\'re soft but they tense up when you touch them. But his best comments are about those of us who are members of the Louie Louie Generation. For example, \"If you have any moving parts left, for crying out loud move \'em.\" Big Louie can\'t restore our youth, but he can restore our sense of humor. My Lady Wonder Wench says she loves my sense of humor, but she doesn\'t want it to get any worse.

How can I explain this to you. As hard as it must be for you to believe, some people haven\'t bought my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot. That\'s why I am sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room, trying to figure out how to make a fortune in some other way...perhaps by inventing something people need. Here are some of the ideas I\'ve come up with so far. Maybe you\'ll drop me a note at dick@dicksummer.com and tell me if you like any of them. How about neon thumbs for night time hitch hiking. Or hot dogs that are ninety feet long to take care of a whole row of fans at once at a base ball game. Here\'s one...a perfumed bookmark so if it slips down into the book, you can just sniff down along the edge till you find your place. Or song books printed on plastic for people who like to sing in the shower. Maybe a follow up to my book would be a better idea. I could call it Staying Happier Healthier And Hotter. I like hot. Hotter would be better. Maybe it\'s because my name is Summer. And maybe it\'s because I think trying to be cool is stupid.

An Old Friend
no
Thank you for dropping in here on my podcast, because I can use some friendly company. It looks like I\'ve become an adult. When did that happen? And how can I make it stop? I\'m sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable black leather poppa chair in my living room, hiding from another birthday. In my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot, Big Louie, the head guy of the Louie Louie Generation says, \"There are 3 ages of mankind. Youth, middle age, and \"My you look good.\" So now I have to look good on an every-day basis? I really can\'t complain I suppose, because I know I asked for it. Last time I saw Dr. Charles about the aches and pains he said, \"I can\'t make you any younger you know.\" I told him, \"I\'m not interested in being younger. I want to get older.\" So here I am. Thank heavens they haven\'t discontinued my blood type yet. I find I\'m relying more and more on Big Louie\'s advice. \"Age and treachery will always defeat youth and skill,\" he says. That\'s encouraging. And of course I always keep his biggie in mind. \"If you have any moving parts left, for crying out loud, MOVE \'EM.\" He says, \"The fountain of youth is between your ears.\" I like that too, because over the years, my body has basically become a transportation system for getting my head from one place to another. I guess it\'s appropriate that I put my old body in an old car. And my car is old. It\'s insured against fire, theft, and King George\'s men. Any time I\'m driving I check to see that I\'ve got my license, my registration, and the bus schedule. Seriously for a moment, I want to thank so many of you who sent me email happy birthday wishes. It was kind of neat.

FebRRRuary
no
I am sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room, thawing out from the trip I just took to the mailbox. It\'s cold. No I mean COLD. That\'s because it\'s February. And as I told you in my book, Staying Happy Healthy And Hot (available at Amazon.com) the word is FebRUary. Not Feb-YOU-ary. Think about this please: If you, a priest, a rabbi, and a minister walked into a bar and the bartender asked if you wanted some b-YOU-skis you, the priest, the rabbi and the minister would all figure it was some kind of joke. It\'s bREW-skis. And it\'s FebRUary. February and brew-skis are both cold. I took my hot cup of coffee with me to keep my hands warm when I went up to the mailbox just now, and by the time I got back to the house, I had a large lump of coffee rattling around in the cup. My next door neighbor Randy was out getting his mail too. I said \"Hello\", and it was so cold, the \"lo\" froze, hit the ground and broke before he could hear it. He thought I was just saying \"Hell\" and he said thanks for the warm wishes. He was wearing his hunting camo, so I didn\'t actually see him. But I knew where he was because I could follow the sound of his teeth chattering. It was so cold this morning, you could freeze an egg on the sidewalk. In fact I\'ll bet hens were laying eggs from a standing position. Male dogs were getting stuck on the fire hydrants in embarrassing ways. Flashers were just describing themselves. The forecast was for six inches of snow, but look...there\'s miles and miles of it. One good thing...when it snows my lawn looks just as good as Randy\'s.

Love Crazy
no
You\'ve got to be a little crazy to fall in love, because if you\'re not a little crazy in love you\'re not really in love. It\'s complicated. Especially for guys. The only way a guy can find out if a woman is feeling romantic is by puckering up and trying for a kiss. Sometimes that works, and sometimes she just turns her head, and rolls her eyes out loud, which leaves you kind of licking her ear. But Louie Louie Generation lads and ladies have been around long enough to know that love is like a bathing suit. It all depends what you put into it. So you\'ve got to go all in. I read a magazine article about it yesterday. The article said a modern woman really likes it when a guy makes dinner for her. I am not good at making dinner. But I have learned a couple of things about it from trying. Let me pass them along to you guys. For example stuff you cook on the stove should be cooked on the medium setting till just before it boils over. Stuff in the little room under the stove...which is called an oven...should also be cooked on medium, and should be removed from the oven at the first sign of black smoke. Rule of thumb, where there\'s smoke there\'s toast...unless it\'s something you put in the oven. And be careful. If you decide to make French toast be careful you don\'t get your tongue stuck in the toaster. In my book, Big Louie, the head guy of the Louie Louie generation has lots of important household hints like that for guys. For example, he always says \"Guys who think a woman\'s place is in the kitchen forget that the kitchen is where the knives are kept.\" And \"Never tell a woman she\'s too good for you. Let it come as a surprise.\"

Liking Valentine's Day
no
I like Valentine\'s day. You get to tell somebody, \"I love you,\" or at least, \"I like you.\" It means baseball\'s Spring Training is about to start. And it\'s a day when the thought really is more important than the gift. In fact, I have found that if you can get the right kind of thought going, Louie-Louie Generation ladies like my Lady Wonder Wench generally really get into the spirit of giving...so to speak. And if you are a Louie-Louie Lad like I am you will certainly put to good use the power of warm words...aural sex...and of course you will follow Big Louie\'s advice having to do with any of your remaining moving parts. If you\'ve got em...move em.

Thinking In Opposites
no
Has it ever occurred to you that the smartest guys think in opposites. For example take the guy who packaged the batteries I just bought on line. They\'re totally encased in plastic so thick that I had to cut if with a pair of wire cutters. It was essentially a plastic battery chastity belt. But when I dug the batteries out and put them in the flashlight, they didn\'t work. I wanted to send them back, but the invoice from the guy who sold them says, \"All returns must be in original packaging.\" Smart guy. He thinks in opposites. And thinking in opposites made me change my mind about the guy at the drug store who sold me a bottle of cotton with a few Tylenol pills in the bottom. Hey, think in opposites...maybe I could make a nice warm winter coat out of that big ball of cotton, then I wouldn\'t catch cold, and I wouldn\'t have to buy any more Tylenol. I\'ve got to learn to think in opposites. For example, will everything east of the San Andreas fault eventually plunge into the Atlantic Ocean? Does every silver lining have to have a cloud? And if a picture is worth 1000 words how come there are no pictures of the Gettysburg Address? And maybe the sooner you fall behind, the more time you\'ll have to catch up. Think in opposites. I think it was a guy who learned to think in opposites who invented telemarketing. I think he got one too many voice mail recordings that said, \"All our specialists are busy helping other customers. Your call is very important to us, and it will be answered by next Easter.\" And suddenly, something that said \"Hey...think in opposites\" went \"BLING\" in his head. He figured instead his being annoyed by the person at the other end of his phone call, he turned it around. He got to be the ANNOYING guy instead of being the ANNOYED guy. Much more satisfying, and probably somewhat profitable.

All the smart guys are telling us, \"We are doomed. Run and hide.\" Stephen Hawking the famous scientist says, \"We are doomed because the artificial intelligence we are creating will take over and kill us, or we will be wiped out by a giant asteroid.\" Lots of politicians are telling us \"We are doomed because the terrorists are coming to get us.\" Other politicians are telling us \"Our coastal cities are doomed because of climate change.\"It seems like most TV shows are about murder and blood, and the commercials in them tell us we are doomed if we don\'t take their pills with names I can\'t pronounce. Lots of holy people tell us we are doomed because we have been mighty naughty. But I say, \"Fear not faithful friends. As Big Louie, the head guy of the Louie Louie Generation says in my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot (available at Amazon.com) and I quote: \"Hey Smart Guys...B.S.\" And I agree.

In my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot, Big Louie, the head guy of the Louie Louie Generation says \"Most of the time we have two reasons for doing anything. A good reason, and the real reason.\" And I guess he\'s right. I\'m sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable black leather poppa chair in my living room, fondling a new toy that I have wanted for a while, but I couldn\'t bring myself to get it until I figured out a good reason for buying it. Look, it\'s like the first guy who said an apple a day keeps the doctor away, because he liked apples...even though he certainly knew that one onion would do the job very nicely for a week. His good reason was keeping the doctor away. His real reason was that he really just liked apples. We do lots of things like that. That\'s why you figure it\'s ok to leave your kid with a baby sitter so you can take a break from your being a parent routine at a night school class that you really enjoy, but you feel terrible and guilty if you leave your kid with a baby sitter to go to a movie you really want to see. Big Louie is right. Most of the time we have to have two reasons for doing anything.

Think
no
Whilst sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable black leather poppa chair in my living room I just saw a startling statistic. By the way how do you like that fast use of the word whilst? I haven\'t whilst-ed anybody in a long time. It feels good. But back to the statistic. 38% of New Year\'s resolutions have to do with losing weight... which can be translated to losing fat. If that was your New Year\'s resolution STOP. WAIT. THINK. Remember what Big Louie says in my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot. He says, \"Fat is lost first from areas of high desirability.\" You want fat in some areas. Especially ladies. Think Dolly Parton. We saw Dolly Parton shortly after the Janet Jackson \"wardrobe malfunction\" a few years ago. She bounced out on stage and said, \"Don\'t worry. I won\'t have a wardrobe malfunction. If I did, I\'d wipe out the first four rows.\" Gotta think before you make important resolutions.

Terror's An Error
no
I have a couple of New Years wishes for you. New Year\'s wish #1 is \"May your troubles this year last as long as your last year\'s New Year\'s resolutions.\" Lots of troubles are caused by simple confusion. For example, I was asking a woman on the phone about the status of an order from Amazon. She was taking a while and she said, \"Please bear with me.\" I was shocked. I said, \"I can\'t bare with YOU...I\'m a happily married man.\" Confusion. I was using my credit card at a drug store, and the machine said \"Swipe card.\" I didn\'t have to swipe a card, I already had one. More confusion. I saw an ad for a British web site that was selling land on Mars and Venus for 29 Pounds/ acre. They are now probably trying to get the rights to selling the Brooklyn Bridge. Confusion. A bunch of very bad guys are getting us very confused right now about much more serious stuff. Big Louie, the head guy of the Louie Louie Generation says, \"Always speak up, even if your voice is shaking.\" It\'s in my book Staying Happy Healthy and Hot. Lots of folks are speaking up to our politicians right now, and their voices are shaking... with fear. Fear creates confusion. The bad guys are making so many people so afraid that they\'re suffering a confusion contusion. They are so afraid, they don\'t know what to do. And some of the politicians love it. But Big Louie also says, \"What happens isn\'t as important as what you do about what happens.\" So at the end of this podcast, I\'m going to tell you what I think is the first step about what I think we should do about this confusion contusion.

Happy 2016

I\'ve been doing this podcast sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room for quite a while now. Not long enough to call it a \"once upon a time-time,\" but it has been a long time. You think about things like that when a New Year pops up on the calendar. \"Once upon a time.\" To lots of people it was a long ago \"once upon a time\" that the numbers on our years started with a one instead of a two. When you think \"What\'s today\'s date?\" do you sometimes still come up with a 19 something? I think most of us in the Louie Louie Generation stumble on that one once in a while. The last time it really was a 1900 something was 1999 of course, which was the year today\'s high school 16 year old kids were born. How did you get along all the way back then without your smart phone, or your car GPS, or your email, your texting, or your Netflix? Did you like your video tape recorder, and your fax machine, and how hard was it to learn to use Windows 98? One of the stories I remember best from all the way back in 1999 was how everybody was scared that our computers wouldn\'t be able to handle the year 2000. Bill Clinton was impeached in 1999, and Wayne Gretzy retired...and Boris Yeltzen did too. That was the year Putin took over in Russia. And there was a nasty war going on in Kosovo. We\'re pretty far along in the 2000s now... and we\'re adding a new number now, a big, glistening 16. Starting a brand New Year...a brand new chapter in the story of our lives. What kind of an ending will this chapter have for you? What will happen to you? Big Louie says, \"Better yet, what will you make happen?\" And he also says, \"You never know when something wonderful is going to happen.\" He\'s always saying that. If you don\'t know about Big Louie yet, please look up my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot on Amazon.com. He also says, \"Some magic you have to see to believe, and some magic you have to believe first to see.\"

A Merry Christmas Yawning
no
I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair right next to the Christmas tree in our living room...and I keep wanting to jump up and down and open presents. As a Louie Louie Generation guy, jumping up and down isn\'t something I want to do all that often any more. And I know what\'s causing this. It\'s about what\'s left of the little kid inside me who doesn\'t care that the rest of me is getting a little wrinkled. You probably have some of that little kid inside you too. The little kid who spends all year waiting for Christmas. Christmas is the center of that little kid\'s life. Go look for that kid...I\'ll wait. By the way, if you\'ve forgotten how to find your kid inside, because that little kid has been asleep for a while, here\'s some help. If your kid has been asleep for too long, the first thing he or she will probably do when he or she wakes up is stretch and yawn. So check right now to see if you\'re feeling like stretching...and yawning. That yawn is a sure signal that the Christmas kid is waking up. Feel like yawning? Yeah? See what I mean? The KID is there. In fact, no matter what kind of a grown up sour puss you might have been wearing, that kid is going to tug at one side of your mouth to make you start to smile. Which side...which side of your mouth is going to start to smile. Huh? It\'s going to happen. The Kid is still there, cause it\'s Christmas. And Christmas is about a kid\'s birthday. That\'s why there should always be some kind of toy under your tree. Toys are for kids. Next time you feel that yawn coming on...remember that.

Cecelia & The Plastic Tree
no
I feel like I am now preparing for Santa\'s visit, by installing a parking meter on the roof by the chimney. I bought an artificial Christmas tree. The Fed Ex guy just brought it. It\'s not like the traditional aluminum tree. This one is genuine green plastic. With the lights already installed. I don\'t know if I should have done it. For the last couple of years, we bought small trees that were growing in little pots. We planted them outside after New Years, and they both promptly died. Not what we had in mind. As a perspective, I worked at NBC radio for years. The studios were in the RCA Building at Rock Center in NY...right behind the Rock Center Christmas tree. We used to walk right under the tree to go to work every night. My Lady Wonder Wench was in favor of having a tree roughly that size of our own each year. Needless to say, that didn\'t quite work out either. We cut down our own trees a couple of years. Those were the years that I lifted our daughter Kris up on my shoulders so she could put our special star on top. That was fun. But I always hated to see the tree die after a few weeks in our living room.I think I\'m making too much out of the fact that we have an artificial tree this year. I hope so. I\'m a grandfather now and I remember my grandfather\'s Christmas trees. He had electric lights, but he also had some real candles on his tree. It was a Christmas tradition that we\'d gather around the tree...the whole family. He lit the candles and we all sang Silent Night. One verse in English and the second verse in the original German. We called my grandfather Grosspop. He left his home in Germany when he saw Hitler coming. He wasn\'t having any part of that. He was proud to be an American citizen. And he was just as proud of his German traditions. So we sang Silent night, holy night and then Stille Nacht, heilige nacht while the candles burned. Then he\'d count to three and everybody would blow out the candles and he\'d turn on the electric lights.

Here\'s one from Proud Podcast Participant Becky:Whenever I\'m disappointed with my spot in life, I stop and think about little Jamie Scott. Jamie was trying out for a part in the school Christmas play. His mother told me that he\'d set his heart on being in it, though she feared he would not be chosen. On the day the parts were awarded, I went with her to collect him after school. Jamie rushed up to her, eyes shining with pride and excitement.. \'Guess what, Mom,\' he shouted, and then said those words that will remain a lesson to me....\'I\'ve been chosen to clap and cheer.\'Thanks Becky. Lots more in this podcast.

Thanks-Men-Are-Saints-Giving
no
Thanksgiving is an anniversary for me. It was on Thanksgiving night a lot of years ago that I started the \"Men Are Saints\" campaign on WNBC Radio. I called it the M. A. S. appeal—Men Are Saints. The idea came from remembering a special Thanksgiving while I was watching my Lady Wonder Wench and our daughter Kris, our daughter-in law Brenda, and our sister-in-law Beth scurrying around preparing dinner, while our Tall-Guy son Eric, my brother John and I were otherwise occupied, and I was struck with an actual thought. I realized that we men are seldom given credit for our sensitivity, our intelligence, and our selfless behavior. For example, here in the Northeast, Thanksgiving is usually celebrated on a cold day. So where do we men traditionally encourage our women to spend the day? Right. In the warmest room in the house—the kitchen. While we, on the other hand, in a manly display of selfless courage, throw ourselves in front of the TV screen to protect our loved ones from the terrible effects of the cathode rays that squirt out of the picture tube. And how much credit do we men get for that traditional selfsacrifice? Right. None.

Vicious-Vicious
no
Thanks for dropping in here on my podcast. I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room, and I like having your company. I mean I like having your company in the personal sense, I\'m not into taking over companies...corporate takeovers...because I don\'t like vicious things. I don\'t like big vicious things like bad guys doing awful things in the middle east, trying to stretch a pay check that isn\'t big enough to cover everything, and maybe the bad medical test results lots of people have to deal with. I don\'t like little vicious things either...like Mondays...What a vicious way to spend 1/7th of your life, trying to cut a bagel in half without cutting your hand, figuring out who\'s supposed to go first at a 4 way stop sign...it\'s usually the guy with the most dents in his fenders...and don\'t you hate the damn mosquito that sneaks into your bedroom and buzzes your ear all night...why didn\'t Noah swat those two original mosquitoes when he had the chance. And speaking of small vicious things, there\'s always contacting the \"system administrator\" for permission to do something on my home computer. My computer knows that I have no idea who my system administrator is. And it\'s bad enough when my home computer makes fun of me like that...the computer in my airplane did it to me last week. All of a sudden the airplane computer blew out the GPS map WHILE I WAS using it to FLY HOME. It put up a screen that said, \"Do not turn off your computer. We are updating your data base...\" Then the map went blank. Vicious. I was not only going to turn it off, I was going to toss it out the window, and I was at about 7000 feet...trying to fly home but it didn\'t care. It was going to up-date itself even if that meant I was going to fly around in circles. They say computers can answer in a few seconds math questions that would take humans millions of years to figure out. BS. You know how I think computers do that? They just make the answers up.

Having Fun
no
When is the last time you had fun? I mean flat out falling down laughing till the milk comes squirting out of your nose, jumping on the bed fun. And why has it been that long. I think one of the things you can do when things get grim is make faces at yourself in the bathroom mirror. Sooner or later that will make you grin. And when you\'ve been in the bathroom for a while someone will pound on the door and ask if you\'re in there. Tell them no. A good surprise never hurt anybody.

And I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room soaking it in. I love the night. It\'s a time full of heroes and villains, perfume traces, quick smiles that leave lipstick traces, black lace falling slowly to the carpet...soft, quick personal sounds... a lover\'s key in your front door...someone\'s breath close to your face, a stealthy thump you can\'t identify...maybe it\'s in the attic...a kitten crying somewhere outside...it\'s probably a kitten...probably. Fantasy faces sometimes look out of the dark...strangers sometimes...sometimes faces from your past...and sometimes...maybe...from your future. The night is a thick, moonlit fantasy forest.

Jane Doe and I were both naked, standing there looking at each other, separated only by a window. I\'m not sure Jane was her real name, and I didn\'t know why she was standing there naked, looking through the window at me. She was barefoot, but her legs looked like high heels make a woman\'s legs taper up to a perfect curve at her hips. She had lovely big brown eyes, and a body that would turn any male into an animal. She was breathing heavily... watching me ...so carefully... waiting for me to make a move toward her. My Lady Wonder Wench wouldn\'t know, and wouldn\'t care. I knew she was naked in the bedroom with Bob. And I knew Bill would be in there with her in a few minutes. Bill was missing an eye, but for some reason she liked him better than Bob. Ha. Got your attention didn\'t I? Painted some pictures for you didn\'t I. That\'s called \"Theater of the mind.\" What I was just telling you really happened. And some of those pictures probably connected you with parts of your body considerably south of your mind. Maybe all the way down there deep inside. But if you were taking pictures of what happened with your smart phone to send to a friend...or a lawyer...they wouldn\'t produce the slightest virtual viagral effect.Jane Doe was a doe. A deer. A female deer. She was eating acorns on our front porch and she really was lovely in the very early morning light. I was on my way to a potty break, when I happened to look out the window just as she was looking in. My Lady Wonder Wench was still in bed. Bob is what our digital alarm clock says when it\'s 8:08. Bill without the eye is what it says at 8:11...just three minutes after Bob. My Lady likes Bill better than Bob, because she gets three minutes more sleep if she waits for Bill...without the eye...at 8:11.There\'s a point to this, and a big part of it is in my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot in the chapter called Louie Louie Lovin.

A Good Gathering

I\'m back here sitting in my big, comfortable, manly black leather poppa chair in my living room again, having survived another terrifying road trip, with my Lady Wonder Wench driving. We went to a family gathering a couple of states away, and the weather was too messy to fly there in our little airplane. I\'ve told you about my Lady\'s creative driving habits and her tendency to swerve back onto the road when she sees a cop in my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot. But it was worth the frightening trip to see all those folks most of whom I haven\'t seen in years. Our daughter Kris and cousin Donna were the main organizers, and they did a great job. But I noticed that people have changed since I saw them last. I couldn\'t believe how some of them have become walking, talking wrinkles. But nevertheless lots of the conversations were about how good we were looking anyway. Many of us looked quite life like I guess. That seems to be happening to me more and more as I get older. People keep saying, \"My you\'re looking good.\" I expect I will reach the peak of my handsomeness on the day before I die.

Your Mental See-Saw
no
I\'m sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room, and I think I\'ve found a simple solution to a serious situation. The serious situation is how I feel about a world full of starving kids, screaming politicians, internet scams, hurricanes and blizzards, big piles of bills, and empty spaces that people we loved used to fill. Stuff that always seems to be trying to break our hearts. Unfortunatlely, I know that my simple solution won\'t feed the kids, stick a sock in the politicians\' pie holes, delete the internet scams or pay the bills. But it seems to help me. It keeps my beaten up old heart going just fine. The price is right, and it\'s so simple some people think it\'s silly...and I don\'t care. I call it my \"My Mental See-Saw\" and it works for me...usually...not always...but often enough that I figured you might want to know about it. So I\'ts in this podcast.

Woman Worries
no
I have a confession to make. Sometimes I get up in the middle of the night, and sit here in my big, comfortable black leather pappa chair in the living room, and I sneak a look at my Lady Wonder Wench\'s magazines...in what is probably a futile attempt to learn something...anything...about women. When I\'m trying to figure out what\'s going on in a woman\'s mind about a situation, It could give an asprin a headache it\'s so confusing. For example, here\'s a statistic that says 6 out of 7 women wear clothes to bed. Why do you people do that? One of the great lines in the classic Elizabeth Taylor/Richard Burton Cleopatra movie is when Cleo is giving Ceasar a hard time about his wife, and she says, \"I hear your wife even wears clothes to bed.\" I suppose it\'s ok if you\'re a kid, and you\'re used to wearing your jammies to bed...but if you\'re a grown up Louie-Louie Generation Lady...you must have figured out by now that you shouldn\'t be in bed with somebody you shouldn\'t be in bed with. And if you ARE in bed with somebody you shouldn\'t be in bed with, why the heck would you be wearing clothes ? Unless of course we\'re talking about something from Victoria\'s Secret...which is a whole different idea.

Thank you for dropping in here on my podcast. I really enjoy your company. I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room trying to figure out how to explain why a guy wants to become a disc jockey, because I have to tell you about a wonderful thing that happened to me. Clint Eastwood understood that guys want to become disc jockeys mainly to get girls. That\'s why he loved starring in and directing \"Play Misty For Me\" all those years ago. If you\'re too young to remember, Jessica Walter was the young lovely, purring on the phone… \"Dave, please play Misty for me.\" Every time the request line rings (it doesn\'t actually ring, it lights up), every disc jockey I\'ve ever known gets a quick vision of a scantily clad young lovely, slowly flexing her long, tapered legs and licking her lips, just waiting to breathe her request into his ear. There is no other reason for a young guy to want to become a disc jockey. Until you get to the big time, the money stinks. Especially for a late night disc jockey. And the amazing thing is that often the vision of the lady involved is reasonably accurate. Not always, but more often than you might think.

Something Wonderful Is Going To Happen
no
Thanks for dropping in here on my podcast. I very much enjoy your company. I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly black leather poppa chair in my living room trying to figure out how to break some news to you about something very big that\'s happening to me. But I think I\'m going to have to put some context around it first. So here\'s a Quickie quiz...what famous pretend tv newscaster liked to describe his start in broadcasting as...\"It all started at a 500 watt station...\" (No fair going to Google.) For those of you who have perhaps wisely managed to avoid spending any time in the broadcasting business, here\'s a little context. Fire hose AM stations like (the late, great) WNBC and WNEW in New York and WBZ in Boston pour 50,000 watts of power from coast to coast at night. 500 watt stations are more like water pistols that sometimes squirt half way across the sandbox. Everything has to start somewhere, and like the famous pretend tv newscaster, I also started my career at a 500 watt station...WNRC in New Rochelle.The station gave me an on air name ...\"Platter Pappa.\" Honest to God, that was their idea not mine. I was a junior at Fordham University, andfor some reason I was convinced that WNBC and WNEW or WBZ were just waiting till I graduated to start some kind of bidding war for my services. Wow, was I ever an egotistical, dumb college kid.

Mourning Vs. Night
no
The only person who looks good early in the morning is my Lady Wonder Wench. That\'s why the good Lord made it so hard for us to get our eyes open early in the morning. When we first get up, our hair looks like we stuck a wet toe in a hot socket…our faces are a little off center from sleeping on a lumpy pillow and like most guys I have stubble sticking out of my chin. I think if we actually saw each other clearly early in the morning, the price of brown paper bags of exactly your head size and the head size of your nearest and dearest would soar beyond the means of most middle class families. And when they talk about traffic snarls in the morning rush hour, it doesn\'t refer just to too many car on the roads, it also refers to the expressions on the driver\'s faces.

I Heard From Dad Today
no
Thanks for dropping in here on my podcast. I like having your company. I think I heard from my dad today. Dad has been playing keyboards with Beethoven\'s Big Band in heaven for quite a few years now. But I woke up this morning with a song called The Leader of the Band running around in my head. You know how that works...a song just starts going around and around for no apparent reason. I\'m sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable black leather poppa chair now, but I just came back from driving down to the supermarket to get some flowers for my Lady Wonder Wench, and over to the post office to mail a note to my brother Jeff. On the way back, the radio station was playing the same song that was going around in my head. Dan Folgelberg was singing, \"He gave to me a gift I know I never can repay. A quiet man of music, denied a simpler fate, he tried to be a soldier once, but his music wouldn\'t wait.\" That was Dad. He was a musician, a teacher, and a man...in the finest sense of the word. There\'s a story about him in my book, Staying Happy Healthy And Hot. Part of it goes like this: \"Dad was my only hero. He was a teacher. Most heroes are teachers in one way or another. The things he taught were simple but profound. He said things like ‘There\'s a big difference between soft and gentle. It takes real strength to be gentle\', and ‘there\'s a time for pulling yourself together, and a time for letting yourself go. He also said, ‘Be a man.\' And there wasn\'t any doubt about what he meant when he said that.\"

The No Drool Rule
no
Dick\'s Details...a bunch of totally un-important stuff for you to stuff in one ear, so you can squeeze the important stuff that\'s rubbing your wrinkles the wrong way out the other ear, and you can grab a grin.There was a story in the paper today about a rock group that\'s upset with an airline. The headline reads: \"Smashing Pumpkin sues Virgin.\" Makes it seem like a modern Cinderella story. If the answer is \"He would put it in our pockets\" what is the question. The smart guys in the white lab coats tell us that kids 2 to 5 put their hands in their mouths an average of 10 times an hour. That\'s nothing. Our average politician puts his foot in his mouth a lot more often than that. Mormon leader Brigham Young had 56 kids by 27 wives. No wonder Mormons call him the founding father. I can\'t help wonder if he got his name from telling whoever supplied his wives, \"I don\'t care how you bring em. Just bring em young. If the answer is \"He would put it in our pockets\" the question is \"What would the average politician do if we gave him a completely free hand.\" There\'s a bit in there about doing a poll dance too, but I\'ll skip it in deference to your delicate sensibilities. Dick\'s Details. They take your mind off your mind.

Don't Worry Be Happy
no
Thanks for dropping in here on my podcast. Glad to have your company. I\'m sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable black leather poppa chair in my living room, wondering how I ever got this lucky. I figure I have finally proven that men are smarter than women. Because if women were as smart as men, how come I married my Lady Wonder Wench and she married me? I know some of you are going through tough times, and I\'m not telling you how happy I am to make you feel worse. In fact I want to remind you of the words of Big Louie in my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot. Louie says, \"You can never tell when something wonderful is going to happen.\" The other side of that is true too. I\'ve found an amazing thing in my life. Only about half of the things I worry about ever happen. In fact only about half of all the things I expect to happen in my life actually happen. I\'m not kidding about that. And I wonder if you\'ve found the same thing to be true. Please let me know. Email is dick at dick summer dot net. So look, if only about half the things we worry about ever really happen, that means we\'re worrying twice as much as necessary. And don\'t get me wrong, I\'m not looking at life through rose colored glasses. I had an experience this morning that made it very clear that I\'m at the bi-focals part of my life. And this morning my glasses got a little teared up when I suddenly realized that every day I\'m watching the Summer sunshine of my life that I have loved so much fade into Autumn gold.

Seeing Through Windows Ten
no
Thanks for dropping in on my podcast, glad to have you here. I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room, and I\'m watching my laptop un-zipping stuff as it\'s changing into an operating system that Microsoft says I\'ll find a little more comfortable... Windows 10...and it looks like my laptop doesn\'t want me to watch it un-zip and change. The screen says something to the effect of, \"This will take a while. You don\'t have to watch. I\'ll let you know when we\'re finished. And for God\'s sake don\'t touch anything on the keyboard.\" What the hell is it doing in there that I\'m not supposed to see? It\'s like enjoying watching the girl in the house across the street change into something more comfortable, until she pulls down her shade. She\'s obviously not into letting me to touch anything either. And I don\'t especially like the implication that there\'s no sense watching something I wouldn\'t understand. That\'s just plain nasty. Big Louie, the star of my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot always says, \"TV may insult your intelligence, but nothing rubs it in like a computer.\"

The Legend Of Louie-Louie

Thanks for dropping in here on my podcast. I appreciate having your company. Sometimes an actual thought hits me as I\'m sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair. And like a rock with a note attached that comes crashing through your living room window, an actual thought just went smack, right on the side of my head. Ow. That hurt. Thoughts are like muscles. If you don\'t use them regularly they hurt when you do. But I\'m a man so I can stand the pain...here\'s the thought: It has been too long since I\'ve reminded you about the Louie Louie Generation. I have deprived you of the wisdom of Big Louie for too long. So to make up for my misdeeds, I\'m going to give you a report right out of my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot on this podcast. The book is full of a lot of stories about my life, including burying a buddy, dealing with a mouse, and working with guys like Wolfman Jack, Don Imus and Cousin Bruce Morrow. But it also tells you about the new Louie Louie Generation. Here\'s part of the first chapter of Staying Happy Healthy And Hot:

Lookin' At It
no
Thanks for dropping in on my podcast. Glad to have you here. I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room, trying to digest a food supply crisis, caused by the closing of our favorite supermarket. Depending on how you look at it, it\'s either terrific or terrible. It could be terrific because the supermarket we\'ll be going to across the street has generally cheaper prices which I like, or it\'s terrible because my Lady Wonder Wench doesn\'t like brands of food they sell. My Lady Wonder Wench does our food shopping because she knows and likes lots of the people who work there, she knows where everything is, and she doesn\'t like my approach to finding stuff in a supermarket. When I go, I usually find an attractive lady, and ask her to help me find what I\'m looking for because I\'m not familiar with where they keep stuff. I\'ve found that many attractive ladies are glad to help a lost and confused Louie Louie Generation guy... and what\'s wrong with that? I get my shopping done faster, I get to talk with some nice ladies, and the ladies feel good about helping a nice, elderly gentleman. I think it\'s a win-win situation, but my Lady Wonder Wench disagrees. It\'s all in how you look at it. Big Louie, the star of my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot says, \"Everything depends on how you look at it. For example there are lots of TV commercials with disclaimers that say, \'real people not actors.\' Aren\'t actors real people...he asks? And if we\'re always hearing about disgruntled postal workers, why don\'t we ever hear about gruntled postal workers? He says \"It all depends on how you look at it.\" I agree. My Lady thinks killing spiders is a good idea. But doesn\'t killing spiders make the spider gene pool sneakier and more deadly? It depends on your point of view.

Breaking News
no
Thanks for dropping in on my podcast. I\'m glad to have you with us. I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room, staring at the black hole on the stand over on the wall. Technically speaking, it\'s a big, blank, black TV screen. But it\'s really a big, black hole...sucking you down inside...you can feel it happening...every time you turn it on, you can feel yourself...boldly going...nowhere. Well, maybe over to the couch. I don\'t like going nowhere, so I don\'t watch much TV...just the news and some sports. From 6 to 6:30 it\'s amazing to watch the same stories spinning from MSNBC, to CNN, and over to Fox. The spin can get you dizzy. Then I watch the broadcast network news for the relatively non-fiction version of those same stories. Actually, Lester, David and Scott stretch the truth too. Some of the stories they call \"breaking news\" were pretty well smashed up quite a while before they got broken on the air. But they never say, \"Hey folks, here are some stories we broke a while ago, so full disclosure...to be honest they\'re kind of smashed up old news.\" No. They still pretend it\'s hot off some twitter account being sent direct from the scene. So they look like they\'re all out of breath from running into the studio and they tell us it\'s breaking news.

It\'s pretty neat to be sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair again. I was sitting in a hospital bed for a couple of days this week. Don\'t worry. It was just kind of a glorified tummy ache. They said, \"You\'re suffering from acid reflux.\" Right. Of course I was suffering from it, what else was I supposed to do with it. I didn\'t want to go to the hospital, but I went when my Lady Wonder Wench mentioned that my breathing was coming in short pants, and she rather emphatically pointed out it was supposed to be coming from my lungs. Actually... I was really hurting. But like most Louie Louie Generation guys, unless we are in an actual coma, have a hole about the size of a basketball in our chests and we\'re out of blood, we don\'t want anything to do with hospitals. One reason is we know a hospital bed is like a parked taxi with the meter running. Especially when you\'re in the expensive care unit. That\'s where they keep the pay bed pans. Another thing…you\'ve really got to guard your rear end while you\'re walking around in one of those hospital gowns, because you\'re in enema country. But if you can keep your sense of humor in a hospital, you can see some funny thing. For example, there was a button on the bed with a sign that said, \"Push button for nurse.\" I kept thinking, \"Wow, that\'s better than the dating web-sites. Just push the button and a nurse shows up. A little like rub the magic lamp for the genie.\" Gotta be nice to the nurses because they call the shots.

Lights Out

I was sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room the other night, watching a movie called Tootsie, starring Dustin Hoffman on TV, and I couldn\'t resist telling my Lady Wonder Wench that Dustin\'s agent must have called him after he auditioned for the part, and said, \"Dustin, you got the Tootsie Roll.\" Immediately…as soon as I said that, there was a clap of thunder, and the lights and the TV went out. It was like God was looking down at me and saying, \"I didn\'t give you the gift of language for you to abuse it by telling jokes that bad, so Zap...here\'\'s a power failure…have a nice day.\" I hate it when God shows off like that. Thunder and lightning. That\'s scary stuff, even for brave and manly Louie Louie Generation guys like me. Can you imagine how scary it must be for Pimple People with all their metal piercings. Some of those guys have enough metal stuck in various private places to build a multi engine car. Zap. Thunder. Lightning. I\'ll bet that\'s where some of them got the idea for those wild hair cuts. It\'s gotta be like sticking a wet toe in a hot socket.

Don't Stand For Them Telling Us Not To Sit
no
They\'re telling me I shouldn\'t be sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable black leather poppa chair in my living room, and I\'m not going to stand for that. The smart guys in the white lab coats are telling me that sitting is one of the worst things I can do to myself. They\'re implying that sitting is a reckless act of self-destruction. They say it\'s worse than smoking, and of course smoking kills people. I think they\'re a little off base with that one too. I don\'t think smoking is responsible for killing nearly as many people as the people who are trying to quit smoking are responsible for killing people. I am a reasonably healthy guy. As I told you in my book, Staying Happy Healthy And Hot, I get up early most mornings, and I go up-down, up-down, up-down. Now the other eye lid. Then I go for a good, long, brisk, sit...here in my big, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room. I like sitting here.

The Eye Flash And Shoulder Flip
no
As you know by now, Louie Louie Generation guys are the bedmates of choice of supermodels, lovely, lusty lady chief executives, and Catherine Zeta Jones look-alikes. That\'s because we treat our women with lots of love and lots of lovely lust, we have some pretty good life stories to tell, and many of us have paid off our nice cars and sometimes even our boats and private airplanes.\" I know that\'s true because it says it on page 2 of my book \"Staying Happy Healthy And Hot.\" Louie Louie Generation guys know lots of things about living with women that the Pimple People guys won\'t bother to learn, and the Dreary Drones have long forgotten. For example, women are smarter than men. That\'s why not many women marry a man because he has good legs or looks good in a sweater. We also know \"There\'s no such thing as a hopeless romantic, because hope is the power that keeps a romance alive.\" And we like being romantic whether other guys approve or not. And \"Bodies are much more honest than words.\" My Lady Wonder Wench taught me that last one with just a flash of her eyes and a small flip of her left shoulder. It was on the night when I first met her, a very long time ago. All I did was say, \"Hello.\" If I weren\'t watching closely I\'d have missed it. Her eyes flashed for an instant, and her left shoulder did a little flip. She couldn\'t possibly have done it on purpose. It happened too fast. It was an unguarded instant of truth. My God, do you women have any idea what that kind of thing can do to a man?

Meet The Elite
no
You know about the \"Elite\"...the guys who keep their personal helicopters on their yachts, which are anchored on some of their private islands, and their his and hers personal jets ready at all times to take emergency trips to those Islands, or anywhere else that\'s really exclusive. It\'s some kind of different world from the one the rest of us live in. And I love watching it un-ravel in the James Bond movies. But I\'m never going there. On purpose. I was sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room reading a national magazine called, \"The Week\" when a story called \"Wife Bonuses: The world of elite housewives,\" jumped off the page and grabbed me by the throat. It\'s about rich guys wives who get paid what\'s now calld an annual \"Wife Bonus\" by their Wall Street type husbands. The amount of the bonus is based on things like how well she does with the kids applications to get into the best schools and of course her own performance in the bedroom.\" That\'s a quote. \"Huh, you\'ve got to be kidding\" as Big Louie says in my book \"Staying Happy Healthy and Hot.\" As I told you, that\'s Big Louie\'s answer to any tough question...as in \"If I died would you get married again?\" \"Was I your first sexual partner?\" And I think that\'s the only possible answer to the question \"Am I supposed to give my wife a bonus...for taking care of our kids, and for her performance in bed? Huh? You\'ve got to be kidding.

Testosterone Triumphs
no
I was a little concerned after last week\'s podcast in which I revealed Big Louie\'s All Purpose Answer to the Three Deadly Questions all women ask, because it gave guys a huge advantage. I was afraid I\'d find my Lady Wonder Wench carefully reading our wedding license looking for loopholes. As smart as she is, I don\'t think even my Lady Wonder Wench has really come to grips with how completely basic Louie Louie Generation guys are. I doesn\'t matter what we\'re doing...giving a presidential press conference...batting in the last of the ninth, bases loaded, your team three runs down seventh game of the world series...landing an airliner with 400 people aboard during a hurricane and one engine on fire...there\'s a constant thought going around in our heads... Me want food. Me see woman with food. Me want woman too. It\'s our testosterone that does this to us. I explained about testosterone on page 69 in my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot. I quote, \"A guy\'s brain is swimming in a sea of testosterone, which gives him a deep voice, a beard, and a hand just the right size for using a TV remote. Now please remember that testosterone is a preservative. And what does a preservative do? It keeps meat and stuff from growing old and gnarly. And of course growing is another word for maturing. So naturally a brain swimming in testosterone simply cannot mature. It\'s not our fault. We\'re only guys.\" It doesn\'t matter how much trouble we know we\'re going to cause. Look at Kenny Rodgers... perfectly beautiful wife, singing success...more money than he can spend...soft lovely voice on his phone one day and ZAP! The testosterone hits. JFK and Bill Clinton...in the White House for God\'s sake. Your testosterone hits, and before you know it the mirrors are all fogged up, the wallpaper has scratches in it, your dental caps are all over the floor, the bed is in splinters, and your mustache has come off. But it\'s not your fault. It\'s the testosterone.

Big Louie's All Purpose Answer
no
Guys...I about to give you an answer that you will need many times in the tumult of your lives. It\'s a phrase given to me by Big Louie, the star of my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot. It\'s the only possible answer to the three great questions that all Louie Louie Generation guys must face. Question #1 is \"Does this outfit make me look fat?\" Question #2 is, \"If I died would you get married again?\" And great question #3 is \"Was I your first sexual partner?\" Guys, you will be tempted to make up your own answers to these questions, but don\'t. If you are asked any one of those questions, the only survivable answer is the one Big Louie has given us. It is...listen carefully...take notes...write it down. The answer is \"Hhuh? You\'ve got to be kidding.\" This podcast is a brief rehearsal, because you will get hit with those three great questions.

I was sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in the living room, trying to explain to my Lady Wonder Wench why I absolutely must get a new and kind of expensive piece of navigation equipment for our little Piper airplane. She did that wifely moment of silence when something expensive comes up in a conversation, then she looked up at me, bit the corner of her lip, looked down and said \"The biggest difference between men and boys is the size of their toys.\" But then she looked back up at me, and gave me one of those smiles that lights up the room... and she very quietly said something that explains why she has stayed with me for so long, even though by now she certainly knows that no matter how nicely she kisses me, I\'m never going to turn into a prince. That\'s what this podcast is all about.

I am a typical Louie Louie Generation lad. That means in dog years I am dead. I am young at heart, but somewhat older in other places. In short, some of the butter has slipped off my pancakes. And I guess I must be living proof that evolution can go backwards... because when I saw a comment from Broadway star Lea DeLaria in this week\'s New York Magazine I immediately stopped stirring my coffee with my car keys, I quickly put the coffee cup down on the table next to my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair, and I stood up so fast that I felt weightless for a moment... and said something that sounded like Gezorninplatz. The comment was, and I quote, \"Gender is so passe.\" Folks...no it\'s not. At least not for me.

Wanna Live Forever
no
I am beginning to lose my sex drive. I noticed it last night and twice this morning. But as Big Louie, the star of my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot always says, \"Just because we no longer have the rock hard abs and perky breasts like the people in the TV beer commercials, there\'s no reason to let ourselves just give up and turn into hunks of luke warm meat.\" And so I think there is still hope. Hope is pretty much the mission statement of our Louie Louie Generation. Big Louie always says \"As long as you have some moving parts left, for crying out loud...move em.\" And he always reminds us that, \"You never can tell when something wonderful is going to happen.\" Well...something wonderful seems to be happening. If you have been startled by the sound of your favorite song playing in an elevator, if you\'ve been going to the beach to get some color and it turns out the color is blue...because you\'ve been holding your belly in, if you\'ve been lying about not only your age but your children\'s ages, if you\'ve been getting speeding tickets because you have to hurry while you can still remember where you\'re going, if \"getting any\" now means sleep...there is now hope. Seriously. While I was waiting for my Lady Wonder Wench to fix some of her very personal stuff that really doesn\'t really need fixing so we could go out to dinner, I was reading a national magazine called The Week. There\'s a big article in there that says there is serious research going on to double, triple or even forfull how long we live.

A Tale Of Two Tunes
no
You know how a chunk of a song sometimes keeps going around and around in your head. The smart guys in the white lab coats call that an ear worm. I really wish they had called it something else, because that\'s not a nice picture. I have two of them going on right now. One of them is a once upon a time, a long time ago song called, \"Little Things Mean A Lot.\" The part of the song that\'s going around in my head goes \"...always and ever...now and forever...little things mean a lot.\" Usually when a song gets stuck in your head like that, if you think about it, the lyric has something to do with what\'s going on in your life...and I\'m trying to figure out the connection here. I know why the other song is going around in my head. It\'s a song from a movie that\'s so old the copy I have is on videotape. It\'s a movie that had a big impact on life for my Lady Wonder Wench and me.I have a feeling that \"Little Things Mean A lot\" may be on my mind, because I\'m finally coming to understand there\'s not much I can do about the \"big things\" in life. What\'s the government doing...or not doing...What if climate change is coming to get us...why are a lot of innocent kids are going to bed hungry. It is a long way from perfect world. Perfection is kind of tricky. Lots of people forget who they really are by always trying to be perfect.

Walk-Don't Walk-Run
no
The next time your hat pops off because your head is expanding to keep up with your ego, do one of three things. #1-Try telling some other guy\'s dog to roll over and play dead, #2- Walk down the beach trying to catch the attention of someone in a bikini while you\'re wearing your 40 or so year old Speedo. Or #-3 push the pedestrian crossing button to change the sign from don\'t walk to walk. I have done #s 1 & 2 before several times, and today I hit the trifecta. I stood pushing the damn change the crossing sign button on a busy street, and I pushed and pushed, and pushed and it totally ignored me. I hate ignorance. I especially hated it this time because there was a lot of traffic, and I had to get across the street to a gas station that had a men\'s room. I mean I was starting to hop from one foot to the other. I really had to get across that street. By the way, I don\'t make a habit of hanging out in men\'s rooms, but I feel you might like to know there is a sign in the Denver airport\'s men\'s room that reads, \"Don\'t forget to flush. L.A. needs the water.\" I know the sign is there because I saw Big Louie put it there last week. Big Louie is the star of my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot. He devotes his life to helping us lead happier, healthier hotter and sometimes funnier lives. He\'s always saying stuff like, \"If you have any moving parts left, for cryin\' out loud move ‘em.\" And \"Who needs tooth paste if your teeth aren\'t loose.\" And \"If your kid wants to learn to drive, you should never stand in his way.\" I should have listened to him when he said, \"Pedestrian crossing sign buttons are like computers. You must never let them know you\'re in a hurry.\"

Things That Go Bump In The Night
no
I was having a wonderful erotic dream last night, when something went BUMP! I leaped out of bed, throwing my back out of whack, bit my upper lip so I wouldn\'t yell something the Lord wouldn\'t want to hear, hit my head on Mr. Floor which made my world spin backwards a couple of turns, and woke up my Lady Wonder Wench who said something that sounded like \"Gezorninplatz\" which I think might mean \"It\'s 4 AM, what the hell are you doing?\" I said, \"shhhh\" as I grabbed my 12 gauge, and stumbled out into the hall on prowler patrol. Remembering what my armed to the teeth buddy Al told me...\"Just the sound of a shotgun clicking a round into the chamber will scare anybody off\"...I clicked a round into the chamber as loud as I could, and eased my way out into the living room hoping I wouldn\'t see anybody. And I guess Al was right, I must have scared anybody off. My Lady Wonder Wench said, \"It\'s 4 AM what the hell are you doing?\" I said \"Something went bump just now, didn\'t you hear it?\" She said \"No.\" I un-chambered the shot gun, we took turns in the bathroom and she went back to sleep. I couldn\'t sleep, so I went out into the kitchen, grabbed a glass of good Puerto Rican rum, and started reading a magazine, and something went \"Bump\" again. Only this time I was awake enough to realize the bump wasn\'t coming from the living room, it was coming from between my own ears. It was just one of those middle of the night sounds that I figured must be part of the soundtrack of some dream. You know...something that goes bump in the night.

No Dogs Allowed
no
As I have mentioned, I am not in the dog house with my Lady Wonder Wench. I am, instead, sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room. I am not in the dog house, because we don\'t have a dog. And at the possible cost of being placed on the neighborhood terrorist watch list, I don\'t want a dog...ever again. I had a couple of very bad dog experiences, and I\'ve never fully gotten over them. My buddy Al has a dog named Ike. He often says Ike is like one of the family. I know Al\'s family, and I don\'t know which one Ike is like. Ike is part boxer, which probably explains the fact that every time the doorbell rings, he trots over to the corner, sits down, and wags his tail. Ike, not Al. Ike is overweight, but he doesn\'t like the diet pills al got from the vet so Al hides them in his ice cream. Ike\'s ice cream. My Lady Wonder Wench had a dog when I met her. Her dog was a Border Collie she called \"Lady.\" Lady didn\'t like me because although Ms. Wench was a very attentive dog owner, she was an even more attentive Dick owner. That doesn\'t sound right. What I mean is my name is Dick, and...well you understand.

Big Bad Boo-Boo Daddy
no
Pull up a chair, chillin, and lend an ear. I am really excited. I have just found out that I am intimately involved in one of the worlds\' biggest bad decisions. Now there are different levels of very bad decisions. If you are a very curvy young lady, taking accordion lessons would be a very bad decision. A different level bad decision was when the Japanese decided to bomb Pearl Harbor, although all our aircraft carriers were out to sea. That was a very bad decision. Taking a bite out of that apple was a bad decision on Adam\'s part. When the Red Sox sold Babe Ruth\'s contract to the Yankees, that was also a bad decision, as was the 1971 trade that brought Jim Fregosi to the Mets for a pitcher. A pitcher by the name of Nolan Ryan. Big Louie, his own bad self, the star of my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot says, \"Giving another man the opportunity to make your woman smile is a very bad decision. Very bad.\" 12 publishers made the very bad decision to turn down \"Harry Potter And The Sorcerer\'s Stone.\" Big bad decisions. NBC and CBS were the NFL\'s choices for the rights to Monday Night Football. They both declined. Bad, bad, bad decision. ABC really cleaned up on that one. M&Ms passed up Steven Speilberg\'s request to use their candy in his movie, \"ET.\" Reese\'s Pieces grabbed the chance and their sales immediately increased by 65%. Not smart, M&Ms. Bad decision. Napoleon decided to invade Russia in the winter. Very, very bad decision. The Trojans decided to accept that big wooden horse the Greeks made for them as a present. Whoops. Columbus landed in the Indies, thought he was in India, and figured he\'d drop in on the guys he thought were Indians. Bad mistake for Columbus, very bad decision by the Indians. And I just found out the other night that I was intimately involved in a decision that was at least comparable to some of these, big bad decisions. I am now, Big, Bad, Boo-Boo Daddy.

Two Stories And A Fantasy
no
Follow your dreams...that\'s what all the great thinkers tell us. And I think you should follow your dreams, except for that one where you\'re naked at work. If you don\'t follow your dreams you\'ll spend your life sitting in some corner gathering dust like the Dreary Drones in my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot. I followed one of my dreams a long time ago, when a major record label hired me to do an album of some of the lovin touch stories I told on the radio. I thought it was a dream come true but it turned out to be a nightmare. It was a Hollywood based record company and they assigned a typical Hollywood director to the session. He must have been a gifted child, because no mother in her right mind would have paid for him. He was the kind of guy who, if we had texting back then, and you told him he was texting too much, he would have just tilted his head to one side and smiled. I think he slipped into the gene pool when the lifeguard wasn\'t watching. But he was a big time Hollywood director, and I was just a young guy on the radio. So I did my stories his way. My only excuse is that it was a long time ago, and I was just emerging from my Pimple Person stage, so I hadn\'t yet figured out that the first step in following your dream is figuring out exactly what your dream is all about. I wanted to make a connection with people by telling my stories. He wanted to sell records. It doesn\'t matter now, because I fixed the stories. I did them my way on the CDs at www.DickSummer.com.

Story Time
no
I am an attention sponge. We all want a little attention. Some achtung! There are three little words that\'ll get a lot of guys attention... \"My husband\'s home.\" That\'ll do it every time. There are four little words that will also get a guy\'s attention... \"You\'ve got a raise.\" That statement has several different meanings of course. It means one thing if your smiling boss says it, and it\'s another thing if your smiling wife or girlfriend says it. \"Once upon a time\" are four little words that get lots of everybody\'s attention. Tell me a story time. Good story tellers always get plenty of attention. Christ was a great story teller. So was Mohammed, Churchill, Roosevelt, Hitler, and my mom and dad. Dad used to tell me stories about knights in armor, and \"hit in the clutch ballplayers\" like Duke Snider. Mom used to read me poem stories like \"The Highwayman.\" I recorded that for my radio show once upon a time, a long time ago. That long ago recording goes like this.

According to Big Louie his own bad self, one sure way to tell if you\'re in a real family restaurant is check the conversations that are going on. If there\'s a lot of screaming going on at all the tables you\'re in a family restaurant. But there\'s some nice stuff happening there too. Like this

Louie Live!
no
I told you...let some Louie Louie into your life, and your life will have more life. I\'m sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable black leather poppa chair in my living room trying to keep from doing a one man wave. A Harvard professor by the name of Ellen Langer says I\'m right. I\'ve told you lots of helpful things through the years, like, \"Rectal thermometers are the best way to take a baby\'s temperature, and besides it really shows who\'s boss.\" And \"If your kid picks his nose a lot tell him \"stop that till you\'re old enough to buy a car and sit in traffic.\" And my buddy Big Louie is always telling you that, \"If you have any moving parts left, for heaven sake Move ‘em.\" And, \"You never know when something wonderful is going to happen. But an annoying number of you totally ignore this wonderful advice from Louie and me.

Guys Don't Over Think
no
Like a lot of Louie-Louie Generation guys, sometimes I just don\'t think things through. That\'s why we need the guidance in my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot, from Big Louie his own bad self the Chief Mustard Cutter of the Louie-Louie Generation. He makes things so simple. He says, \"Just figure out what you don\'t do well, and don\'t do those things.\" Brilliant. He says, \"Deep down we\'re all pretty superficial\" and he\'s right. He says \"Why make things complicated. The answer to the common cold is gesundheidt.\" Danke schon ! is all I can say. But his explanation for why a guy is attracted to a particular woman is one of his top ten best. He says, \"Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder\" and that\'s one of my favorites.

Meet Meat Reality
no
I don\'t have a smartphone. My Lady Wonder Wench and I have the last dumb phones in our zip code. All they do is make phone calls. I like the fact that other people\'s smart phones can\'t text me, because I like sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room, just entertaining myself with visions of sugar plums and my Lady Wonder Wench dancing in my head. Like most Louie Louie Generation guys who have real flesh and blood lives, I really don\'t need to have my phone constantly connected to every other phone or computer in the world like the Pimple People and the Dreary Drones. I am not bored with my flesh and blood life. There\'s obviously a lot to be said for the virtual reality world. And I go to the movies, I watch UTube stuff, & I love to read books. But I\'m a steak and potatoes guy and there\'s no way I\'m going to let some virtual reality eat away at the flesh and blood life I love. I guess you could call this non-virtual reality my \"Meat Reality.\"

Making Something Wonderful (For Valentine's Day)
no
I like ladies. I have always liked ladies. When I was a kid, and the other guys were throwing snowballs at the girls, I always threw snowballs at the guys who were throwing the snowballs at the girls. As I said, I have always liked ladies. So does my buddy Big Louie. As I have explained in my book, Staying Happy Healthy and Hot, I am the spokesman for his brand new Louie Louie generation here on earth. Last year Big Louie and I ran a survey of how most guys deal with Valentine\'s day. The results were really nasty. Almost all the Dreary Drone guys said, \"I\'m too old to worry about that kind of thing.\" And almost all the Pimple People guys said, \"It isn\'t Kool.\" And we have some breaking news from the Pimple People from Proud Podcast Person Betsy K. She sent me a list of a just published Pimple Person list that claims to be the \"New Man Rules.\" And I think it explains a lot. It\'s in this podcast.

FebRRRuary
no
I am sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room, thawing out from the trip I just took to the mailbox. It\'s cold. No I mean COLD. That\'s because it\'s February. And as I told you in my book, Staying Happy Healthy And Hot (available at Amazon.com) the word is FebRUary. Not Feb-YOU-ary. Think about this please: If you, a priest, a rabbi, and a minister walked into a bar and the bartender asked if you wanted some b-YOU-skis you, the priest, the rabbi and the minister woud all figure it was some kind of joke. It\'s bREW-skis. And it\'s FebRUary. February and brew-skis are both cold. I took my hot cup of coffee with me to keep my hands warm when I went up to the mailbox just now, and by the time I got back to the house, I had a large lump of coffee rattling around in the cup. My next door neighbor Randy was out getting his mail too. I said \"Hello\", and it was so cold, the \"lo\" froze, hit the ground and broke before he could hear it. He thought I was just saying \"Hell\" and he said thanks for the warm wishes. He was wearing his hunting camo, so I didn\'t actually see him. But I knew where he was because I could follow the sound of his teeth chattering. It was so cold this morning, you could freeze an egg on the sidewalk. In fact I\'ll bet hens were laying eggs from a standing position. Male dogs were getting stuck on the fire hydrants in embarrassing ways. Flashers were just describing themselves. The forecast was for six inches of snow, but look...there\'s miles and miles of it. One good thing...when it snows my lawn looks just as good as Randy\'s.

Keeping Company
no
Looks like Louie has done it again. I\'m sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room, and I just got a note from Big Louie. He said I should tell you to \"If things are tough, let a smile be your umbrella, because you\'re going to get soaked anyway, and grins are always good.\" Big Louie is always good company. And good company is precious. If you\'re new to these weekly podcasts, I should explain that Big Louie is an important part of my book called Staying Happy Healthy And Hot (available at Amazon) and part of the reason for doing the podcasts is to promote the book. But that\'s a long way from being the only reason. A more important reason is that some of my friends are getting old. Now I\'ve always believed that getting old has a lot to do with how you feel about things. And how you feel about things has a lot to do with the kind of company you keep...or don\'t keep...and what you do...or don\'t do with your life. I\'ve got another birthday coming up, and like most people who\'ve had more than a few of those, I\'ve noticed that some of my parts that are supposed to be stiff, occasionally aren\'t, which is sometimes embarrassing. And some of the things that are not supposed to be stiff ever...are. And that hurts. Big Louie\'s best advice to folks like me is, \"If you have any moving parts left, move \'em.\" I do. And I am. Even though sometimes I wake up in the morning and figure I must be dead, because nothing hurts.

Mr. Wonderful
no
I am convinced that somewhere near here there is a dedicated group of women who call themselves the Fed Up Females Federation of America. And I am sure that it is that group which is responsible for the doll by the name of Mr. Wonderful. Mr. Wonderful is sitting right here on my lap in my big, manly, comfortable black leather poppa chair in my living room right now. He\'s about 5 inches tall, and he weighs around 6 ounces. He has wavy brown hair, and a big happy-wappy smile. He looks a little like my dentist when he says, \"This will just feel like a little pinch,\" as he hides a foot long needle behind his back preparatory to digging a root canal into my quivering gum. When you push a button Mr. Wonderful says things like \"Here, you take the remote. As long as I\'m with you I don\'t care what we watch.\" And, \"Why don\'t you relax and let me make dinner tonight.\" My buddy Randy\'s wife Bernadette, got Mr. Wonderful from a friend of hers…probably the president of The Fed Up Females Federation of America. Bernadette and My Lady Wonder Wench are good friends. So the ladies evidently thought that Randy and I could perhaps take some hints from Mr. Wonderful. Randy is a pretty steady guy, but he\'s a big Phillies fan and I follow the Mets rather regularly, so both of us got a little nervous and teary eyed when Mr. Wonderful said, \"The ball game isn\'t that important. I\'d rather spend time with you.\" And you should have seen the contented smile on both the ladies faces when Mr. Wonderful said, \"Let\'s just cuddle tonight.\" As I have explained in my book, Staying Happy Healthy And Hot, like most Louie Louie Lads, I must admit that I am a man with decades of experience in not having a clue as to what women are thinking. For example, I have never understood why women\'s magazines keep telling us in big red letters on the cover that all women want sex. Oh yeah? If that is the case, then why don\'t those women tell us that in person?

Prepared To Take Chances
no
There are those who would say that I am sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair doing nothing. Ha. I am constantly doing the very stressful thing that is the obligation of all real men. As I have explained in my book, Staying Happy Healthy And Hot, I am preparing for any possible disaster. Standing by to deal in a manly way with whatever evil lurks in the darkened corners of my loved ones lives. Or sitting by in my case. That\'s one of the least understood differences between men and women. Quite often the estrogen enriched amongst us don\'t understand the strain we men must endure...always preparing. They don\'t understand the relief it would be for us if we could spare the time to relax by doing simple things, like washing the dishes, or vacuuming the floor, or cooking dinner. But no. It is our obligation to remain prepared... to protect our loved ones from the darkness and despair that hovers...waiting...to pounce on loved ones who are not well protected.

Life is a parade, not a stage show. I\'ve been sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room watching the parade for quite a while. As a matter of fact, I still get up and do a little marching in the parade myself, because as Big Louie always reminds us, \"If you\'ve got any moving parts left, move \'em.\" I sure moved mine last night. I\'ll tell you about that in a minute. Big Louie says lots of things to guide our Louie Louie Generation. Another thing Louie says is: \"You can never tell when something wonderful is going to happen.\" I think you made something I\'d call wonderful happenen to me recently. I asked you to tell some friends about this podcast, and we seemed to have picked up a lot of new listeners in the past few weeks, so thank you. I hope you\'ll keep doing that.

Not looking for money, just a little attention...and maybe a Tootsie Roll kind of a gift. It could be just a genuine smile, or a \"Merry Christmas\" like you really mean it. I\'ll bet there\'s someone you know...maybe just a little...who could use it.

The Skype-Scraper
no
I am now a newly minted Skype-scraper. A Skype-scraper is not a tall building with a TV antenna on top. A Skype-scraper is a guy who manages to scrape together enough equipment to use a computer video program called Skype. The new computers make it pretty simple I\'m told, but my computer is approaching boat anchor status, meaning it\'s more than five years old, so there was lots of scraping going on for a camera, a compatible mic, adapters and stuff like that. It was really kind of neat and it was a lot of fun. My friend Neal Braverman has a pretty good size group of folks who like folk music up in Boston, and I got to talk to them while I was sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room last Sunday night. I like folk music too, and I used to play a lot of it when I was a dj at a Boston radio station. So Neal invited me to talk to the group, since lots of them were part of my Boston radio huddle. I was on the air late at night, and I called my listeners my \"huddle,\" as in when football players gather around to find out what the quarterback wants them to do next. I felt like the quarterback, calling the plays that would get all of us through the night. That was the goal... making it safely and comfortably all the way to dawn. There are lots of stories about that in my new book, Staying Happy Healthy And Hot.

Born Again
no
I am sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room, after having a born again experience earlier today. I remember when I was born the first time, it was such a surprise that my parents said I didn\'t talk for about a year and a half. As I explained in my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot, the Pimple People wouldn\'t have liked being born when I was born the first time. We had crew cuts in those days. We looked like a bunch of tennis balls walking around. There was no such thing as fluorescent Mohawk orange hair, giant Goth tattoos, and enough piercings that the combined metal could build a multi engine airplane. We had the Bomb, the hula hoop, Elvis, the Beatles, The Stones, protests, walking on the moon, Woodstock and Watergate. We learned how to duck and cover to put our school desks between us and a thermonuclear bomb. Guys like Walter Cronkheit explained on black and white TV with rabbit ears on top, about how things we take for granted like voting work differently in places like Russia. Walter told us basically that voting is an option in Russia, but if you do choose to vote, you go into the voting booth, pull the curtain, and when you open it again you\'re in Siberia.

Mercy
no
I am sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room, and I\'m about to tell you about three little words that just came in over my phone that has made me wax philosophical. As I told you in my book, Staying Happy Healthy And Hot, I don\'t wax my philosophical too often, because I have found that friends tend to slip away from an over waxed philosopher. I am a grandfather. The three words are from granddaughter Sarah. The title Grandfather is the Phd of parenthood. The Pimple People think I am in the twilight of my years. And that\'s fine with me. Because twilight comes just before night, and night is when you get the best music, the best food and the best sex. Pimple People of the world, I am putting you on notice that although those of us who are members of the Louie Louie Generation no longer have rock hard abs and perky breasts like you people in the beer commercials, we have seen all the great bands, so \"Ha.\" And \"Ha\" to you again if you think we are just left over chunks of luke warm meat. We know things that you haven\'t learned yet and maybe never will. For example, you know you have been spending the first half of your lives rebelling against your parents, but what you probably don\'t know is that you will probably spend the second part of your lives rebelling against your kids.

The True Meaning Of Halloween
no
I think I have discovered the true meaning of Halloween. Halloween features a squadron of little kids with hobgoblin masks, ghostly sheets, and little princess costumes coming to your front door, and threatening you with a trick if you don\'t drop some chocolate covered bribe into the swag bag. Kind of like the guys in Congress. Some of the kids are dressed up like super heroes...Spider Man, Bat Man...we even had a kid with a Superman cape on here last year. I don\'t think he had really learned how to fly just yet, because it was obvious that he\'d just recently learned to walk. So what\'s the true meaning of Halloween? I\'ve given it lots of thought, and I\'ve come to the conclusion that Santa is behind the whole thing. He sends the tiny tricksters to scare us, so we\'ll stop messing around and start being good because Christmas is getting pretty close, and he wants us to know he\'s watching.

Who's Who
no
I was happily chomping away on my ham and Swiss on whole wheat with a slice of raw onion and mayo, when all of a sudden, I realized I had the sandwich in my left hand. I am a very right handed guy. I have often been glad that I am a very right handed guy. I started courting my Lady Wonder Wench in the days and nights of mini-skirts. Sometimes when I was driving, and she was in the seat next to me her left leg sometimes rewarded my right hand very nicely. So nicely that once I almost went off the road. It wasn\'t my fault. Wiping the \"wow was that ever nice remembering that\" smile off my face, I started thinking why is a right handed guy eating a sandwich with his left hand? When I eat from a plate, I always use my fork with my right hand. I can\'t use a fork with my left hand. I\'ve tried. So how come my sandwich always lands up in my left hand? And why did that happen automatically. Who made that decision? Lots of things happen automatically to me. And I think to you too. You usually don\'t decide to take a breath, and you don\'t think left, right, left, right when you\'re walking. And who\'s doing stuff in your head while you\'re talking? Most of the time you don\'t think about exactly what the next word is going to be. Unless you\'re trying to explain why your hand has gotten caught in some cookie jar, or on some lady\'s leg where it didn\'t belong. There\'s an idea kicking around between your ears, but the exact words you use are automatic. Who\'s doing that if you\'re not? I think it\'s your Who, that\'s who.

The R Word Again
no
I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, black leather pappa chair in my living room, in total shock. My Lady Wonder Wench just said the R word to me again. I think I\'d better stand up for a moment, just to prove I still can. There. That\'s better. I knew I could do it. As I have told you before, I know that as a true Louie-Louie Generation gentleman, my years of having young lovelies whispering the word hunk behind my back...in lustful awe...may well be all the way back in my rear view mirror. Come to think about it, there are now young lovelies...and not so young ones... cruel ones...who might possibly say my rear view simply isn\'t really worth viewing at all anymore. Retire. In my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot, Big Louie, the Chief Mustard Cutter of the Louie Louie Generation says, \"You know you\'re ready to retire when work is less fun and fun is more work.\" I\'m not there yet.

no
My Lady Wonder Wench and I were at the diner today, and as usual we were kidding around with our waitress...I refuse to say waitperson. There is no gender confusion going on here, Stacey is definitely a pretty young woman. As I have explained in my book, Staying Happy Healthy And Hot, I like waitresses and I have a lot of respect for what they do. It\'s a tough job, and whenever we can, my Lady and I like to try to give Stacey and the other waitresses we know a little chuckle to take their minds off their aching feet. Stacy likes to give as good as she gets. So as I was explaining to her that I like a little rice pudding under my pile of whipped cream, she gave me one of those looks that said, \"From hunk to hulk in one whipped cream moment.\" So I quickly explained that I\'m not really getting fat, I\'m simply developing a protective covering for my rock hard abs.

Gratitude-Attitude

Yesterday, my friend and next door neighbor Randy and I were discussing the fact that our kids are now driving cars, and we\'re riding our exercise bikes. Randy is a lot younger than I am, but we\'re both members of the Louie Louie Generation. So we started trying to figure out...\"what is the subtle difference between growing older, and getting old\"? So we checked out how Big Louie sees it in my book \"Staying Happy Healthy And Hot.\" Getting old is when you sink your teeth into a steak, and they stay there. Your knees buckle, but your belt won\'t. You\'re sitting in your rocking chair, but you can\'t make it go. You get winded playing chess. That\'s getting old. But getting older, can actually be a little fun. Big Louie says \"Trickery and deceit usually defeats youth and skill. It\'s like the baseball pitcher who smiled as the batters ducked when he threw his 100 mile an hour fastball a little inside a few years ago. And now, even though the radar gun is showing only around 89, the smile is still there as he watches the batters screw themselves into the dirt swinging at his nice new slow slider.\"

A Shower Duet
no
I\'ve been sitting here in my big, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room, watching ESPN. They just showed a video of New York Mets pitcher Matt Harvey on one of the rare times he got shelled in the third inning, and Terry Collins, the manager came out, took the ball, and sent him to the showers. Matt\'s looking down, and walking sadly off the field. Pitchers and other professional athletes do not like to be sent to the showers. I have always loved taking a shower. I was only an amateur athlete. I was a pretty successful competitive swimmer in school...I did the butterfly. That\'s a particularly painful kind of swimming stroke that requires you to pull your arms out of their sockets and up over your head over and over again for at least 100 yards. Although the whole competition was done in the water, I loved taking a shower after it. For one thing it kept the pool\'s chlorine from eating me alive. And for another thing, I just loved taking a shower. I take a shower every night. I love taking showers. In fact I am hoping to take my favorite kind of shower tonight. I\'ll tell you about that later. I always had to take a bath when I was a little kid. I wasn\'t allowed to take a shower till I was around 7. It was kind of a rite of pre-puberty passage. I guess that\'s why taking a shower...even now makes me feel like a grown up. I realize that\'s an immature reaction, but I am an immature grown up, so it\'s ok. Big Louie has an important warning about growing up in my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot. He says, \"You can\'t help growing up, but you do NOT have to mature, so don\'t. Maturity is a trap.\" If you\'ve been listening to this podcast for a while, you realize that I have carefully followed Louie\'s warning all my life.

Where the heck did the summer go?

There\'s still some time left, but as Big Louie, his own bad self, the Chief Mustard Cutter of the Louie-Louie Generation always says: \"Life is like a giant roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end the faster it goes.\" Time to grab a share of the Summer love you\'ve got coming to you...it\'s going by pretty fast.

Summer is a woman. Hot, sexy, wild, hazy, soft, flashy, and dangerous when wet. She can be full of stings and bites...but she\'s also endlessly beautiful, satin smooth, fragrant, sweaty, and instantly changeable. But what a time to be alive. Summer has stars in her eyes, her song is thunder, and crickets and surf. She wears flowers and newly cut grass for her perfume. And her nights sweat with flexing, moonlit naked passion. Summer is such a time to be alive. Summer is a woman...warm and wet in a gentle September rain.

Detour

I love sitting here in this big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair. It\'s in my living room. In my house. Which is on a road where the town guys just put a new sign. It is a sign that has struck terror into the hearts of everybody in the neighborhood. Especially people who have to get to work, and people who tend to have weak bladders. The sign says, \"Detour\". Getting where you want to go is tough enough these days. As it says in my book, Staying Happy Healthy And Hot: \"Out on the road, you\'ve got to compete with people driving at speeds ranging from sonic boom to car wash—and all you want to do is get to work. You\'ve got to be cunning to survive. Of course, Big Louie, his own bad self, has some advice for surviving in today\'s traffic. For example, Louie says, \"Never pass a driver who\'s on a cell phone. Neither that driver nor you have any control in that situation. Wait till he creams the truck ahead of him, then pass briskly on whichever side has less debris.\"

A Funny Thing Happened To Me
no
A funny thing happened to me on the way to this podcast. Actually a bunch of funny things happened this week. Not big belly laugh things, just funny stuff. My Lady Wonder Wench and I were at our favorite diner yesterday, and we both had club sandwiches. One of the things we like about that diner is that you never go away hungry. These two sandwiches came out...and they had to be about four or five inches thick. I have a pretty big mouth, so it wasn\'t a huge problem for me, but My Lady Wonder Wench has a more...lady like mouth. She also has manners. Especially table manners. So I was watching to see what she was going to do with this four course meal between some slices of bread. What she did...and I\'ll bet lots of ladies do this...is...she tilted the sandwich up, and bit off the lower part of the sandwich first. And then, just as she was about to bite the top part of the sandwich, the voices in my head all said...\"Hey...she\'s eating the part that she just stuck up in her nose.\" One of those voices must have said that so loud that she heard it. She had a typical Wonder Wenchy reply. She said \"You must have been a gifted child, because your mother certainly wouldn\'t have paid for you.\"

They\'re telling me it even beats the taste of Coke.\" Think about it. Sometimes when I\'ve done something really dumb, and my Lady Wonder Wench gets very quiet...for a long time...I ask her, \"What\'s the matter\" she says, \"Nothing.\" And all the voices in my head get together in four part harmony and sing a line from the Star Spangled Banner. The one about \"The rockets red glare, and the bombs bursting in air.\" That \"Nothing\" stuff is pretty powerful.

I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room, waiting for my Lady Wonder Wench to call and tell me she\'s ok. Since her accident a few years ago, I get a little worried about her when the damn phone doesn\'t ring when I expect her call. It almost never rings while I\'m sitting here. It always waits for when I\'m in the shower. The first indoor shower was invented in 1850. The telephone wasn\'t invented till 1875. That means if you were lucky, you could have spent 25 years in the shower without the phone ringing once. I have the last dumb phone in my zip code. All it does is phone calls...usually while I\'m taking a shower. I also have a phone so old that it actually plugs into the wall. Imagine that. No it doesn\'t have a crank although I\'ve always thought that might be fun.

I\'ve seen the sign before, but today for some reason I got this mental picture of a place called Senior Living. The bird singing outside your window is a vulture. The guys who live there all have girlfriends who take their breath away...because they\'re all inflatable. And the candles on the birthday cakes are a serious cause of global warming. I don\'t know if you remember, but President George Bush the first visited a Senior Living place once. He went to the community room, and he walked up to one lady and introduced himself. He said, \"Hello madam. My name is George Bush. Do you know who I am?\" And she supposedly said, \"No dear, I don\'t know who you are, but if you ask over there at the desk they\'ll probably be able to tell you.\"

But I\'m from Brooklyn, and I grew up as a pretty tough guy. Brooklyn guys are taught how to make a fist very young. I was 14 till I knew what fingers look like. Actually, I\'m not going to kill that big guy myself, my Lady Wonder Wench make me farm the job out. I hired a guy with a flat nose, cauliflower ears, and a chewed off shot gun. When you look deeply into his eyes, you can see the back of his head. He was with the FBI. They caught him in Texas.

If you sit down too long, you\'ll die young. Ha. Too late now. I didn\'t die young. I always did my pushups, when I was young, and rode my bike and played ball, and did lots of swimming and stuff. Now I like sitting. And eating. Eating helps the farmers. It\'s an escape from the pressures of starvation. It wards off dizzy spells. And the best way to enjoy a meal is...sitting down. So I say, sit. Eat. Enjoy.

Happy is good. And I\'m a happy guy just sitting here. Of course in my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot, Big Louie also says \"Don\'t let getting older get you down, because it\'s too hard to get back up.\" I can get back up. I\'m pretty sure...but why change what feels so good? On the other hand...besides fingers...I\'ve seen as a Louie Louie Generation guy, that the only constant in life is change...except from a soda machine. And it\'s true. Stuff is always changing.

Simple is good. Big Louie has come up with a simple answer to which side we should back in the middle-east. He says, \"We should sell guns, rockets, tanks, jet fighters and nuclear bombs only to factions that promise to use them for peaceful purposes.\" Big Louie has such a way of explaining life\'s big questions simply and accurately. For example, here\'s Big Louie\'s Ten Tips for what Eternity feels like: #10 - Waiting for the stoplight to change when you\'ve spotted a parking spot right across the intersection. #9- The second hour of a Monopoly game. #8- House breaking a new puppy. #7- Looking for a freeway exit when you realize you\'re going in the wrong direction. #6 - Keeping a smile on your face waiting for the shutter to click. #5- Waiting for a tow truck to show up. #4- Listening for the sound of a key in the lock at 2 AM. #3- Waiting for the results of a pregnancy test. #2- 20 minutes of aerobic exercise. #1- Trying to find a six cents error in your checking account. All simple insights into how eternity feels courtesy of Big Louie. To find out more of what Big Louie says, check out my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot. (available at Amazon.com)

I\'m getting comfortable here in my big, black, manly, comfortable poppa chair in my living room, after a short but expensive flight in my little airplane. I had to get some navigation equipment fixed. Having good navigation equipment makes for having a bad checking account. But having bad navigation equipment means your girlfriend probably won\'t join the mile high club. For those of you who are not familiar with the complex technicalities of airplanes, the mile high club has to do with sex at 5,200 feet...a mile high. And as Big Louie says in my book, Staying Happy Healthy And Hot, \"Sex is an affordable gift for the man who has everything, even a small airplane. It\'s a valid way to make the earth move without having to use a shovel. It can turn a bad day into a good night.\"

Some people think Big Louie his own bad self is old fashioned, just because he likes some of the old ways. He likes to remember fondly when they used to rub mustard plaster on you to stop coughs, and then friends would come over to dip their hot dogs on your chest. It was so friendly. He does like some of the old ways because he understands and respects people who have been around for a while. Those are our folks. The Louie Louie Generation. As he says in my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot, \"Sex at 70 is more beautiful than ever, but it\'s really better to pull over and park.\" Lots of folks think it\'s strange that Louie puts people in their 70s in the same sentence as the word sex. To those people Big Louie takes a big healthy bite out of a raw onion and says, \"Ha!\"

So I\'m sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room trying to figure out how come anybody would trust that guy. And that started me thinking that for a guy from Brooklyn, I\'m a fairly trusting guy, and tonight I\'m going to explain why I\'m kind of a trusting guy. I like Big Louie\'s viewpoint that\'s in my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot. Big Louie always says, \"You never can tell when something wonderful is going to happen.\" Wonderful things I didn\'t expect have happened to me over and over in my life. I even did a spoken word CD about it called, \"Love Comes When You Least Expect It.\" Those are a couple of shameless plugs, but they\'re also how I really feel about life.

In a shocking revelation that was just made clear to me by an embarrassingly thin royalty check, there are many people who have not gone to Amazon dot com to acquire a copy of my book, Staying Happy Healthy And Hot. Subtitled, \"We\'re the brand new Louie Louie Generation.\" Which is a shameless plug. But it also means some of you may not understand what the Louie Louie Generation is all about. So let me fill in this disastrous gap in your understandings about life. Unlike \"Generation X\" or \"The Baby Boom Generation\", there are no age limits to the Louie Louie Generation. You are a member of the \"Louie-Louie\" generation if you can pass these two tests: #1 is \"Louie-Louie\" a song that has been playing somewhere in the back of your head since you first heard it? #2 Is getting stuff done and having some fun more important to you than sticking nails through your tongue like the Pimple People, or sitting in a rocking chair drooling, drinking beer, and watching daytime TV like the Dreary Drones? More about the Pimple People and the Dreary Drones a little later. As Big Louie, his own bad self says in my book, \"Most Louie Louie Generation Lads and Ladies don\'t have rock hard abs and perky breasts any more, but we certainly have no intention of letting ourselves turn into hunks of luke warm meat.\"

Savage Golfers

I love telling stories. I even did a spoken word CD called, Bedtime Stories. Available at Amazon and CD Baby. Shameless plug. I read stories to my Lady Wonder Wench every night when we go to bed. Winston Churchill, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton were so powerful because they were great story tellers. Sister Mary Knucklebuster kept the boys in order in the third grade partly by promising if we behaved, she\'d read a story to us just before 3 o\'clock. And if we didn\'t...thwack. A good example of the use of the carrot and the stick. In her case it was a yard stick. Everybody loves a good story. My friend Kevin is a savage golfer. A savage golfer is three times as crazy as your standard golfing nut.So I tell Kevin Golf stories. For example, Tom, Dick and Harry were savage golfers. They played every Saturday morning through rain, snow, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. One Saturday, Tom teed up and hit a shot straight down the fairway. Dick did the same. Harry teed up, and just as he was swinging at the ball, he had a heart attack and fell down dead. That night, they went to tell Harry\'s wife the bad news. When she calmed down a little she asked, \"If it happened this morning, why didn\'t you tell me till now?\" So Dick explained how long it took to tee up, hit the ball, drag Harry, tee up, hit the ball and drag Harry for 18 holes.

George Clooney's P.O.
no
I have just returned to my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room after a dog-gone interesting trip to the post office. You always hear about \"dis-gruntled postal employees\" doing something weird or even nasty. Like shooting a president. But the lady who runs the local post office...we\'ll call her Mary Pat Susan because I don\'t want her to get in trouble for this in case the NSA or the lords of the postal service are listening and they don\'t like what she\'s doing. I figure that if there are dis-gruntled postal workers, there must be gruntled postal workers. And Mary Pat Susan must be the queen of the gruntled postal workers.

Tough Tweet
no
I do believe in a lot of things. I believe we\'re all different, just like everybody else. I believe the purpose of my life is to be happy, and to spread happiness as best I can. That may not be the purpose of anybody else\'s life, but it\'s the purpose of mine. I believe the measure of any man is how he cares for and protects the people he loves...especially his woman...if he is lucky enough to have a woman who will be his. I believe in making people feel comfortable enough to laugh with me, and secure enough to sometimes cry with me if they need to cry. I believe that if you cry long enough, loud enough, and deeply enough, you\'ll eventually start to laugh. I believe in being as honest as I can be, with other people and with myself. But I also believe you\'ve got to leave a little room for \"maybe\" in deciding if somebody is telling you the truth. There is a difference between a mistake and a lie. Remember \"Of course the world is flat...just look.\" \"The sun orbits the earth...we all know that.\" \"Sickness is caused by the wrath of God. What could bugs so little you can\'t even see them have to do with it?\" Honesty = The Truth + Maybe is the way I put it in my book, Staying Happy Healthy And Hot.

no
I am not John Lennon. I cannot any longer say, Give Peace A Chance. I\'ve had it with the guy on the commercial giving me the 800 number, and telling me to \"Call Now.\" Who does he think he is telling me to call now. If he hadn\'t said that I might have called. But not now. Then he goes on to say, \"But wait...if I call \"Right Now\"without even taking the time to change my underwear or check my email for sexy Russian brides, he\'ll throw in an extra bonus...the state of Nevada...or some such nonsense.\"

Making The List
no
My Lady Wonder Wench has more lists than David Letterman. I have always envied David Letterman\'s job. He just walks out on to the set, and people applaud. What a great job. Wouldn\'t you like to go to work tomorrow and you walk in and say \"hi\" and people applaud? They\'re basically saying...\"Hey look...he showed up.\" I like just sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room, watching my Lady Wonder Wench make her lists. She has lists for everything. Grocery lists, the list of days I\'m supposed to do stuff like change the water filter, run the generator, go to the gym...all kinds of lists. By the way, I now call my toilet Jim instead of John. That way it sounds good when I say, \"I went to the Gym the first thing this morning.\"Everybody likes lists. In my new book, Staying Happy, Healthy, And Hot (available at Amazon). On page 150, Big Louie has a genuine list of the Top 10 Happiness Helpers for you if you\'re feeling kind of down and droopy today.

For The Long Run

I just got a slap on the side of the head reminder that I have been young for a very long time. I have a jacket that says Brooklyn across the front. I like the jacket partly because I\'ve had it for a very long time. My Lady Wonder Wench doesn\'t like the jacket, partly because I\'ve had it for a very long time...also it has a couple of holes that I like to tell people are bullet holes, and a rip under the left arm that I like to claim is from a knife fight. She shakes her head and rolls her eyes, but she puts up with it because she understands that I like wearing clothes that are thoroughly broken in. Clothes that have character. Clothes that help you make up stories.

Testosterone Terror
no
CXY is a brand new, and very important understanding about life. It\'s a soft \"C\" by the way. Soft \"C\"-\"X\" \"Y\". I\'ll tell you what I mean. I try hard to understand life. I was sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair watching TV, and a totally confusing commercial popped up. I am easily confused by some commercials, although I do commercials for a living. One commercial that confuses me is the one that\'s supposed to help some guy by the name of Ed. That\'s his name. ED. He has a girl friend by the name of Alice. In this commercial, Ed goes to see Alice, hoping for an evening of romance, but Ed has some kind of problem, and so Ed and Alice spend the rest of the evening in separate bath tubs. As I will explain, his problem has to do with his soft \"C\" \"X\" & \"Y\".

I have been fined once too often and I\'m going to sit here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room and complain to you about it. My Lady Wonder Wench came back from the supermarket today, looking totally exhausted and upset. I said, \"Are you ok?\" And she said, \"I\'m fine.\" No. She wasn\'t fine. I have seen her when she is fine, and she doesn\'t look like that when she\'s fine. She looks so very fine when she is fine. What is it with that \"fine line.\" It\'s like we\'ve taken the words, \"Hi, how are you? I\'m fine\" and turned it into one word. \"HihowareyouI\'mfine.\" The person asking you how you are doesn\'t really want to know 90% of the time, and you\'re not fine 89% of the time. Why don\'t we say what we really mean? Hi, what\'s your problem. I feel like throwing up.

Now and then I start thinking about then...while I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly black leather poppa chair. Things are not as easy as they were then...when I was wearing my Coney Island lifeguard body. It was a wonderful time. I was at the height of my young manly hunk hood. I considered it to be my civic duty to walk the entire beach at least three times a day, so the girls could admire my magnificent bod, rock hard abs, bulging biceps, tight bun stuffed into my tiny speedo, as I was flexing and perspiring in the sun. When I noticed a girl was watching, I smiled confidently, and wiggled my ears at her. That made her smile. A smile is a wonderful thing. In those days it sometimes led to under the boardwalk demonstrations of mouth to mouth resuscitation. That was then. This is now.

Drooling For Health
no
We now have genuine medical proof that just drooling over a well endowed or hunky specimen of your sexual preference is good for your heart. That\'s because it actually raises your blood pressure. Which you have to do to lower your blood pressure. I know that sounds strange, but that\'s what people with genuine MDs as opposed to the Internet kind tell us. We can actually cut down exercising by extended and sincere drooling.Speaking of exercising, I have to get back into some kind of shape. As I told you in my book Staying Happy Healty and Hot, available at Amazon...I have no intention of allowing myself to become just a chunk of luke warm meat. Ever since I had that Louie Louie Generation operation...sometimes known as a knee replacement, I haven\'t been doing much sweating and straining. And hey...by the way...have you ever noticed how sexy co-ed sweating and straining at the gym can be?I think Big Louie would make a good personal trainer. He always says, \"If you have any moving parts left, move em.\" And now we have absolute proof that sex is good for your heart. Among other parts.

no
For most of last night my house was making noises. I heard the first one while I was sitting in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in the living room reading Billy Crystal\'s new book. It\'s a good book by the way. Proud Podcast Participant Carole M said \"get it\", so I did. She has a way of saying things in a very convincing fashion. I should ask Carole to send all of you Emails telling you to get my book, Staying Happy Healthy And Hot. Amazon would go nuts trying to keep up with the orders.But back to the noises. They\'re not big bangy things. Just little tick tock things, and they seemed to be coming from all kinds of different directions. I heard another one just a little while ago and I was thinking maybe I could record one, and one of you would be able to tell me what it is. They\'re just little tick-tock sounds, but they got kind of spooky last night. I was just sitting there reading and my Lady Wonder Wench said...\"Somebody is throwing things at our front door.\" I heard those little ticks, but I wasn\'t paying much attention. But that comment got my attention.

I am sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair trying to calm down after an hour of hurtling down the hideous, holy, highway outside my house. I mean that highway is hideously holy. You can get seriously hurtled on that road these days. It\'s hard to tell whether those are potholes in the highway, or sinkholes. Some of them look like the craters of newly formed volcanoes. I am a manly man. I eat rocks and I chew on metal. Well...salt is a rock, and I suck on zinc tablets when I\'m getting a cold. As a matter of fact, I keep my stash of chocolate chip cookies on the shelf just over the zinc tablets, because I\'ve heard that there are no calories in cookies that you eat over the zinc.

Inter-digitate
no
I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room with a grand canyon size smile on my face, because it has been an evening of wildly erotic interdigitating with my Lady Wonder Wench. The Politically Correct Forces For Good in the community were sometimes outraged when we interdigitated before we got married. But we didn\'t care. We interdigitated at every opportunity. And even after all this time, we interdigitate... two or three times a day...and night. Like tonight. We sometimes take the time to initerdigitate while waiting for a long stop light. We interdigitated right out in public tonight. We do that frequently. During a recent session of especially erotic interdigitating, I tried to explain to My Lady that we really should jump into a shower together so we won\'t catch fire. She wasn\'t buying it. Interdigitating can be dangerous, but we feel that it feels so good that it\'s worth the risk.Interdigitation is my hand picked word for holding hands. I love to interdigitate with my Lady, because I am a hands on kind of guy. I love holding her hand in public, partially because I like how her hand feels, partially to see to it that she doesn\'t trip, and mostly because that says to the other guys...hands off this lady. I have no intention of letting her change hands. On the other hand...we have fingers. Fingers are the little explorers for people who are in love or in lust. Or both. Fingers are very handy at finding new adventures in previously un-known territories.As I\'ve told you in my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot, The Pimple People and the Dreary Drones very seldom interdigitate. And they are sometimes amazed and a little embarrassed that we do. Good. I love embarrassing Pimple People and Dreary Drones. They\'re embarrased because my Lady and I are members of the Louie Louie Generation. And Louie Louie Lads and Ladies don\'t have fancy abs and perky breasts any more, like the people in the TV beer commercials.

It\'s fun doing these interviews. I got to talk with Pia Lindstrom on Sirius/XM radio again too.

Oh no! I have to get up out of my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair to put another pine log on the fire to keep it crackling and hissing pine perfume out into the air. How terrible.

I am sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, warm, black leather poppa chair in my living room in my bedroom slippers and my black bathrobe with the word Wiz embroidered in gold thread script on the left side, enjoying a real fire in the fireplace, and the sight of my Lady Wonder Wench dressed in her red Beatles Forever sweat shirt, a pair of pink sweat pants that respect and prioritize curves, and a pair of big, old, beaten up fuzzy slippers. It\'s a good life. A much better one than some guys have. For example, an email just came pouring in from Proud Podcast Participant Bruce. It says: Just got off the phone with a friend who lives in Long Prairie, Minnesota. She said that since early this morning the snow has been nearly waist high and is still falling. The temperature is 32 below zero and the north wind is increasing to near gale force. Wind chill is -59. She says her husband has done nothing but look through the kitchen window and just stare. She says that if it gets much worse, she may have to let him in.

I\'m sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room, and I\'m a whole lot better than I was last week when even with my most manly manipulation, I couldn\'t open a jar, and my Lady Wonder Wench did it. She said she wiggled it. The jar lid I mean. That obviously cut manly me to the quick. But when I mentioned it to you, most of you were very supportive. You made me feel better. A couple of days ago I stopped whining, and by this morning my tears had pretty much dried up. So I feel manly again. Ready to use a chain saw again...fly my airplane...use the tv channel changer. Ready to fight the biggest challenge men face today, excess humility.

I have fathered whole schools full of children. I open doors for my Lady, and help her in and out of the car. I occasionally spit and scratch and pick my teeth. I never ask for directions while I\'m driving, and I always know a shortcut that the GPS never heard of. I am the Louie Louie Generation answer to Tarzan. I was a beach lifeguard when I was a kid. I do thousands of one arm pushups every hour. I am a fourth degree black belt in judo, karate, and kickboxing. I have my own big, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room, and I sit in it tall, and straight and proud. My hormones are intact and constantly over active. And I am in total shock at something my Lady Wonder Wench did today. It has to do with Motts apple sauce and it cut to the very core of my manhood.

I don\'t like Kool...not Mother Nature\'s kind, nor the \"chilly chops\" people kind. I wrote about it in my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot: \"I like getting hot. Getting hot has gotten me into a lot of trouble in my life. It\'s left me with scars from fights and scars from love affairs, and it\'s gotten me fired from radio stations and damn near gotten me killed a couple of times trying to do some crazy things that simply couldn\'t be done—not by me at least. But you know what? It\'s worth it. It\'s definitely worth it. Heat is neat. Happy, healthy and hot.\"

By the time we get to December most years, control, alt, delete doesn\'t work that well any more. We\'ve got things so screwed up that the only way to make any sense of what we\'re doing is just to re-boot our whole lives. Start over. Do everything from the beginning again.

You\'ll hear my favorite recording of The First Noel. It\'s by my son David. You can\'t buy it, but it\'s here in the podcast.

Here\'s one from Proud Podcast Participant Ellen F. Part of the note says, \"I live in Manhattan, and watching the magic of Christmas unfold is about my favorite thing. I especially love taking my children to see and enjoy the Rock Center Christmas tree.\" That twanged a memory nerve in me. I worked at NBC Radio for years, and every Christmas season, I walked right under that tree to the station which is in the RCA building, right next to the tree. Some nights, my Lady Wonder Wench came to the station with me.

Mr. Story Man
no
It\'s almost time for \"Mr. Story Man\" to arrive. He\'s kind of a magic guy. He shows up here every night, dressed in a white fedora hat, wearing a bathrobe that says \"Wiz\" on the left side, and wearing crazy Caribbean bedroom slippers. My Lady Wonder Wench lets him help her get undressed for bed. I sometimes actually envy him while I\'m just sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair. I wish I could get my Lady Wonder wench to think I\'m as interesting and sexy as she admits he is when he takes her back to \"Once upon a time\" with his stories. He only stays for about ten minutes most nights. But those are the ten minutes just before she goes to sleep...the ten minutes before she starts to dream...about once upon a time. And she spends those ten minutes with him.

Busted
no
I got busted today on the Amtrak to New York City. It wasn\'t my fault. She protruded into my attention span, startled my hormones, and momentarily stirred my testosterone soup. It was momentary. It\'s gone now. Pffft. It was your typical momentary merely mental quickie. You guys will understand. I hope my Lady Wonder Wench will understand. Guys have no control over these things. And it\'s not fair that this is a problem only guys have...I don\'t think women have this problem. Or worse yet, maybe they do, but just not with me.

The Agony Of De-Feet
no
I am sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room, and I\'m booted up. I\'m booted up, not my computer. My right foot is booted up to knock off some of the agony of de-feet. My feet. Remember the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat? I don\'t know about the thrill of victory, but I sure know about the agony of de-feet. De-feet started hurting a few days ago. So, I went to the doctor today. He put on his most serious face and poked my right ankle, looked up at me and asked \"Did that hurt?\" He had to look up at me, because when he poked, I instantly found myself looking down on him from the ceiling. He said, \"hmmm.\" I hate that when a doctor or an automobile mechanic pokes something and says, \"hmmm.\" \"Hummm\" is usually an expensive and painful word.

Mashed Potatoes, Gravy & Left Thumb
no
For those of us who are proud members of the Louie Louie Generation, the Pimple People are easy to spot. As I told you in my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot, they walk around with nails stuck in their tongues, texting instead of sexing, and wearing their jeans so low that when the walk away they can leave us looking at dirty crack. Although age is not the most important factor for Pimple People Hood, most of them are young, so you can excuse them for not having a clue. But I\'m sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room after a fascinating trip to our favorite diner. A couple of things happened that I really need to tell you about. One of them involves waiter\'s thumbs, and the other involves running headlong into a Dreary Drone Crone.

I Got Mooned
no
I got mooned the other night. It was cloudy, chilly and dreary out. And in the house, there was screaming about waving the white flag of surrender all over the TV news...so I turned it off. The quiet was sounding just fine. Then all of a sudden, a brilliant full moon burst out of a break in the clouds, and poured into the skylight over my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in our living room. It actually startled my Lady Wonder Wench. She was sitting across the room from me on the couch. I think she felt that cool moonlight touch her soft, lovely face...she made a very quiet sound...and smiled.

I\'ve been spending a lot of time this week, sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable black leather poppa chair in my living room, thinking about some lessons learned at the Wedding of the Century, when our Cassie married her Dave. All of a sudden, we were two families...in a way...becoming one big family. All of a sudden, we were all in this together. Some funny things happened. And some interesting things that got me thinking about men and women happened too.

no
I am collapsed in utter exhaustion...here in my big, manly, comfortable black leather poppa chair in my living room. We just got back from our grand-daughter Cassie\'s wedding. What an ordeal. It has to have been the most spectacular pageant since the super bowl. She was gorgeous...although I think she is a little young to get married. I figure a daughter or grand-daughter should be at least in her mid-thirties before she even considers marriage, because if she starts planning the wedding when she\'s 35, she\'ll be almost ready for Social Security when the actual wedding occurs.

Jump!
no
An Email from Proud Podcast Participant Tom P got me thinking, as I\'m sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable black leather poppa chair in my living room. Tom\'s a thoughtful guy, He gets other people thinking, and he\'s very definitely a member of the Louie Louie Generation. He says \"If I win the Powerball tomorrow, I know what I\'m going to do with the money. I\'m going to jump on the bed. My grandmother was right, I would break it. But jumping on the bed was fun, and if I won the jackpot, I would be able to afford a new bed. I will not, however, be reckless. I\'ll take the bed outside before I jump on it, because I wouldn\'t want to bump my head on the ceiling.\" That\'s the kind of Louie Louie guy reasoning that sometimes gets us an eye roll, a deep sigh, and an occasional night sleeping on the couch from our closest female associates. For a Louie Louie Generation Guy, Tom is reasonably mature, until he finds a piece of bubble wrap. But I think he\'s got a point. I mean besides the one we all love on top of his head. If he won the jackpot, he\'d use the money to have fun. When\'s the last time you had fun? I mean flat out, falling down laughing till the milk comes squirting out of your nose, jumping on the bed fun? And why has it been that long?

I\'ve told you in my book, Staying Happy Healthy And Hot (available at Amazon) that the thing that makes Louie-Louie generation guys the bedmates of choice for so many supermodels, and other beautiful and successful women is our gentlemanly charm, our poise and grace, and the fact that some of us have paid off our nice cars, a house, and maybe a boat or airplane. So if you are a guy struggling to overcome the severe limitations of being young, in this podcast, you\'ll get the top 20 list of specific things you can do to help you acquire a little more grace and charm, in your struggl to achieve full fledged Louie-Louie Guy hood.

Thjere\'s still some time left, but as Big Louie says in my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot (Available at Amazon.com): \"Life is like a giant roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.\" Time to grab your share of Summer loving...while there\'s still a little Summer left.

The Point Of Peek-a-Boo
no
I like my life. I try to understand what\'s going on in it. But sometimes I get confused. For example, you play hooky, and they suspend you from school. You need to relax, so you go for a ride on a roller coaster. Diamonds are a girl\'s best friend. But a dog is a guy\'s best friend. So many single women are always saying all the good men are taken, but so many wives are always complaining about their husbands. Stuff like that just doesn\'t make sense. As I explained in my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot (available at Amazon dot com) I like stuff to make sense in my life. I\'m not fond of confusion.

I\'m sitting here in a rest area on the road to ruin. I had to get off, because the traffic is moving way too fast, and I want to take as much time as possible getting there. Actually, I\'m sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room, trying to recover from all the end-of-the-human-race-as-we-know-it-news that\'s all over the internet, Time magazine, the newspaper, and the TV. Pessimists have never been so happy. The best we seem to be able to these days is to dread one day at a time. The middle east, the budget crisis, health care and the New York Mets...again.

But the \"Boo-Boo Boogie Man\" just started pounding on my knee again...the one I had replaced because he wore the original knee out. That guy is mean. And he sometimes sneaks up on me when I\'m trying to do the Louie Louie Guy strut to get my Lady Wonder Wench\'s attention, like I was planning on doing tonight. I sometimes think he\'s jealous...like all the other guys who know about my Lady Wonder Wench.

Flatulence Farming
no
Why is it that females frequently flee flatulence? Actually they always do, but I wanted one more f word in there. There are several f words that get the attention of the pure and pious forces for good in the community. Flatulence is of course the most fragrant of them all. The nick name for flatulence that rhymes with heart, is so terrible that I can\'t actually say it, because this podcast is carried on some radio stations, and the government is concerned about the effect that f word might have on the tender sensibilities of chil-dren. The government evidently has never spent any time listening to the conversation in a fifth grade grammar school boys bathroom. When I was in the fifth grade, I had a dog by the name of Whistle. Any time any of my family flatulated, we blamed it on the dog. Because lots of times when flagrance hit the air it really was the dog. He was so en-flatulated we had to keep him away from open flames or he would have become the dog-gone.

Gum Control
no
We need some Gum Control laws around here. Yackata, yackata, yakata... Night and day...stupid statements from politicians, TV talking heads, and every day people beating their gums...we\'ve got to have some gum control here. Any time I hear the words, \"Have a nice day\", I get dangerous. My Lady Wonder Wench straps me down into my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room until I calm down. I get a terrible urge to jump up and shoot a shoulder launched rocket with a soap warhead right into the gums of the \"Have a nice day\" sayers. I think they should be hit with a big fine or even a jail sentence, or better yet a jail paragraph. As you very well know, people who say \"Have a nice day\" very seldom mean it. For most people, \"Have a nice day,\" basically means \"Go away. I\'m finished with you. Now you\'re just bothering me. Go fall into a nest of hungry saber tooth alligators, gangsta rap singers and insurance sales people. And don\'t bother me again while I\'m trying to tweet my twitter.\"

no
Some people make a zap when they walk into a room. Other people take a nap. It\'s a physical fact that our bodies run on electricity. That\'s what makes our brains and our muscles work. It was a real electric current all those years ago, that made a ZAP go off in both of our heads. I just said, \"Hello,\" and my Lady Wonder Wench\'s eyes lit up, her left shoulder lifted a little, and a 1,000 watt smile flashed for just a moment. If there have been so many short circuits in your life that your Zapper is no longer dapper, there\'s a quick zip up for your Zapper in this week\'s podcast.

no
I\'m so pleased with myself, as I\'m sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room. I\'m pleased because of my hand-some-ness. Not in the mirror. At the ends of my arms. I remember, when I met my Lady Wonder Wench all those years ago...instantly...my ears wiggled, my eyebrows twitched and my hands made some plans. And through the years, I have taken every opportunity to use my hands some more with my Lady Wonder Wench. She likes it when I use my hands some times, to give her feet a little massage. When you give someone you care about a massage, both the massager and the massage-ee get some of what they used to call Good Vibrations.

I have just relieved myself. No, don\'t jump to conclusions. I am sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly black leather poppa chair in my living room, and all is well with the world again, because I have gotten my TV back up and working and that\'s a much bigger relief than I thought it would be. The satellite box broke, and I never realized how stressful my life would be without the TV. When it went out, it was a shock like when I opened the refrigerator door and found some kind of endangered species lurking there. I finally figured out that it was cheese. But it wasn\'t cheese when I put it in there. It changed. People are like that too. People change. Some people age like fine wine. Other people age like milk.

How Hot Is It
no
It\'s hot outside. It\'s so hot that you shouldn\'t text while you walk, because you could trip over something, fall down on the pavement, and cook to death. It\'s so hot, farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying hard boiled eggs. But the heat has created a convenience factor for farmers. It\'s so hot, their potatoes are actually cooking underground which means all they have to do is pull one out, add butter, salt, and pepper and chomp it down. But a word of caution, if you pull one of those potatoes out of the ground, be sure you use either a work glove or a pot holder...because they are hot.

I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room, watching the news on TV, and I just saw my least favorite politician blink. I love that. I love watching an idiot politician blink when he gets a question he\'s not expecting. Watch for that next time you\'re watching a news program. A blink gives a guy away. A blink and a wink are two very different things. A blink happens to you, and a wink you do on purpose.

I love \"Once upon a time\". This one is from my book, Staying Happy Healthy And Hot. Stories rule. Especially true ones like this. Once upon a time... 4:18 AM last night to be specific. I was asleep...in the middle of a dream that seemed to have something to do with Catherine Zeta Jones. I didn\'t even notice my Lady Wonder Wench getting out of bed and going for a potty break. But just as Catherine Zeta was smiling seductively and introducing me to her twin sister in my dream...Lady Wonder Wench cut loose with a shriek that must have cracked windows all the way to Greg\'s house down the block.

Look Into My Eyes
no
My Lady Wonder Wench\'s family is Polish. I was sitting in the examination chair in the eye doctor\'s chair today, and he said read the third line from the bottom. I swear it spelled out the name of one of her Polish cousins. At least the letters I could see spelled out the name of one of her cousins. I missed some of the letters. Which made me stop and think about what I said in my book, Staying Happy, Healthy And Hot about the gratitude-attitude. I\'m glad I could see some of the letters. Even ones that were smaller than the Goodyear Blimp or your average NFL linebacker. And something the doctor said got me started thinking about eyes, and the things we see...and the things that are sitting there in plain sight, but we don\'t usually see them.

It\'s early Summer. My favorite time of the year. Summer is a woman...hot, sexy, wild, hazy, soft, flashy, dangerous when wet, full of laughs, tears, stings and bites, endlessly beautiful, satin smooth, fragrant, promising, crushing...changeable. Summer has stars in her night eyes, with thunder and crickets, and little lover bugs flashing tiny lights hoping to find some little lover bug passion. I love the sand between the toes, and the surf in Summer\'s song. She has flowers and newly cut grass for perfume, and sweating, flexing naked passion in her nights.

Actually, I haven\'t been actually just sitting in this chair for six years. I have occasionally gotten up for potty breaks, snacks and several other physically and emotionally functional reasons. But this month is our seventh anniversary of the Good Night podcasts, and the Dick Summer Connection blogs. Before we pop the cork on our beginning of the 7th year celebration, I want to thank you for giving me a few minutes of your valuable time again this year. Thank you if you\'ve just joined us. And thank you if you\'ve been a part of our \"Huddle\" from the beginning. Maybe all the way back to the radio days.

It\'s so comfortable sitting here in by big, manly, black leather poppa chair, after spending the last six hours hanging on to the cup holder in my Lady Wonder Wench\'s car with my seat belt tightened to the tourniquet setting, as she went careening down the highway, making James Bond skidding hand brake turns, and hurling great Polish curses at the other drivers...one of whom must have lost control of his car as he was zooming down the breakdown lane, because his car swerved back on to the highway right in front of us at about 85 MPH. I estimate that he must have been getting about 20 miles to the fender. It was a long drive back home from a visit with my brother John and his wife Beth down in South Carolina.

It\'s good to get off my feet...sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room. Tired feet are a problem for Louie Louie Generation guys like me. Getting off them is obviously a good first step...ditching shoes is good...soaking them in a shower...good stuff. But I found the best way to fix feet is with my head. I\'ve found that\'s also a good way to deal with defeat. Feet and defeat. I take a minute...close my eyes, take a few deep breaths, and think about walking in soft sand, bright warm sunlight on my skin, gentle sea breeze...and I\'m walking over to a beach blanket where my Lady Wonder Wench is waiting in her bikini, with a bottle of hand warmed lotion to give me a massage that starts at my feet, and keeps on going, and going and going. My feet usually just kind of forget they hurt. And nothing can defeat me.

Fear
no
The Boston bomber gave us a gift. Fear. It was a little like 9-11...the kind of day when you wake up screaming, then you realize you were never asleep. You\'ll always remember where you were and what you were doing when you heard about terrible things. Like when the first plane went into the World Trade Tower on 9-11. Let me go sit down in my comfortable, big, manly black leather poppa chair...before I fall down. Just thinking about it makes me feel like I\'ve swallowed a sack of cement, and it\'s beginning to harden. Do you ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes at a radio station when terrible things like that happen? Let me tell you a personal story.

Tomorrow
no
I think I\'ll be remembering tomorrow for a very long time. Let me grab my seat here in my comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair and I\'ll tell you about it. Once upon a time, a long time ago...so long ago that as a matter of fact it was during the original reign of the Louie Louie Generation...Louie Louie was still all over the radio...my Lady Wonder Wench gave me a wonderful yesterday to remember. It was one night when we were first dating. She was driving...we went through a toll booth...it was late...she had on shorts and a slightly sexy top...which on her is anything less than an iron shirt...nor ironed...iron. You\'ve heard her voice. And the rest of her looks like she sounds. We came to a toll booth, and she looked up at the toll taker...a young guy with a heavy metal station playing in the booth...she smiled sweetly and said, \"My you look so lonely.\" I thought he was going to drop his eyes, his teeth, and his badge. You could hear his glands crashing into each other. His tattoos were actually shaking when he handed her some change. She smiled again, and we were off. She did that kind of thing all the time. She created testosterone tsunamis wherever she went. She still does, all these years later.

This was one of those days...when you\'ve just got to sit in your big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in your living room, and hang on tight. \"Women don\'t need sex like men do\"...that\'s what my Lady Wonder Wench said today. After decades of being together, she waits till now to tell me this. I\'m an experienced, Louie Louie Generation guy. I know I should have kept my mouth shut, but that little guy in the back of my brain who\'s supposed to keep control of things like my mouth and other things must have been on his lunch break...so I couldn\'t help myself. I said, \"huh?\"

I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly , black leather poppa chair in my living room, and I\'ve just read what might be the best Louie Louie Generation poem ever written. Proud Podcast Participant John Lancellotti sent it to me. He wrote it a long time ago. It\'s called, HANGIN OUT. And It goes like this: We did it in the dark streetas daytime turned to night.You\'d find us hangin\' outbenearth a corner light.Or maybe down the block,we\'d gather in a groupto spend the evening laughing,noisy shadows on a stoop.We dared the night to harm us--with danger always near --but hangin\' with the crowdwas a room we closed to fear.For boys it was a passagethat led to being men.We learned that life was struggle,the gutter\'s great Amen...For girls it was a timeto test a woman\'s ways,to learn about the magicthat turned their men to slaves.That\'s how the city brewed usin the kettle of the street,where hangin\' out with friendsmade being kids so sweet.

no
I am sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room, and I\'m semi-seriously considering popping a copy of my new book, Staying Happy, Healthy And Hot into my neighbor Steve\'s mail box. He really needs to think about the Gratitude-Attitude that the book talks about. Steve starts every day off with a smile, so he can get that over with as soon as possible. He often suspects people are plotting to make him happy. When someone says, \"Have a nice day\" to him, he usually says, \"Sorry, I have other plans.\" Our state motto is on our license plates. It says, \"You\'ve got a friend in Pennsylvania.\" I wouldn\'t be surprised to see Steve putting a strip of tape under the slogan that says, \"Don\'t look at me.\" He definitely needs to grab some Gratitude-Attitude. Steve is an excellent example of the Dreary Drones I\'ve been talking about in my book. They\'re people who have just let themselves turn into hunks of luke-warm meat. Steve is kind of a stale sausage.

Birthday Blues
no
I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather papa chair in my living room trying to recover from having another birthday. I used to think that even noticing that you\'ve had another birthday after the age of 21 can be depressing. But as Big Louie, the honcho of the Louie Louie Generation says in my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot, \'Always remember the \"Gratitude-Attitude.\"\' There\'s got to be something good about adding another year of wrinkled splendor. I guess you can say when you get to be this age, you never have to worry about dying young any more.

Playing With Fire
no
I am just stretching out and relaxing here on my big, black, comfortable, manly leather poppa chair in my living room, after a long drive home from my buddy Al\'s house. I didn\'t actually do the driving. My Lady Wonder Wench did the driving, because we were taking the trip in her car, and because she is convinced that she is a better driver than I am. Which she is not. She tailgates and I hate that...because the idiot ahead of you is not to be trusted. But we take her car on long trips because it is much newer than mine, and in much better shape. It doesn\'t slow down when you turn on the windshield wipers, it doesn\'t leave streaks of oil on the side windows, and it doesn\'t make mysterious noises that only my Lady Wonder Wench can hear.

I now own a very stylish pair of leather gloves, and they are totally confusing me. I don\'t follow fashions in clothing, or anything else because I like to march to a different accordion player. If my Lady Wonder Wench didn\'t buy me clothes, like these gloves, I would probably still be wearing the same slacks I wore in college, and more than likely, I\'d be using a bungee cord to hold them up. When she isn\'t watching, I sometimes use a table spoon for a shoe horn. I have however been pretty good about honoring her request that I stop stirring my coffee with my car keys.

Love, Luck and Guts

I just got knocked on my backside. Fortunately, my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair was right there to take the hit. Just for the heck of it, I took a very un-scientific poll of a bunch of friends of mine about Valentine\'s Day, and the results shocked me. More than 90% of them...both sexes...just kinda blew Valentine\'s day off. One of the guys I talked to said, \"I\'m too old for that kind of thing.\" Big Louie the Chief Mustard Cutter of our Louie Louie Generation, went nose to nose with that guy. Louie said, \"As long as you have some moving parts left, for crying out loud move \'em.\" One guy even said, \"That love stuff is just stupid.\"

He calls his show, The Talk Show For Grown-ups. It\'s fun doing these interviews. I got to talk with Pia Lindstrom on Sirius/XM radio last week. It was such a lot of fun that my son David...who is also our podcast master...posted it on the website at www.dicksummer.com It\'s right under the book cover on the home page. Give it a listen when you have a moment.

I am sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room, looking out at the ice, and remembering some of my favorite it\'s so cold jokes. You know them. It\'s so cold you could freeze an egg on the sidewalk. It\'s so cold the streakers are just describing themselves. It\' so cold I saw a politician with his hand in his own pocket. I know...it is appropriate that cold rhymes with old, because those jokes are. How about, it\'s so cold that nobody wants to go out, but some of the guys at the singles bars who felt they\'re just too good looking to stay home. Or how about it\'s so cold that girls are going with guys who have the flu because they have high temperatures. It\'s so cold you have to part your hair with an axe? Actually, I went out to the mailbox this morning, and I forgot I had my coffee cup in my hand...it still had a little coffee in it...and when I got back inside, I found a little chunk of coffee left clicking around in the cup.

Gratitude Attitude Part 2
no
I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room trying to keep my gratitude attitude going. Your gratitude attitude is an important part of my new book, \"Staying Happy, Healthy And Hot\". I\'ve got to admit that even for the guy who wrote the book, some days, keeping your gratitude attitude going is a little harder than other days. Something went \"pop\" in my right shoulder a few weeks ago, and I haven\'t been able to do push ups ever since, and I\'m feeling fat. I\'m trying to apply the gratitude attitude by telling myself, I\'m not really getting fat, I\'m just getting easier to spot in a crowd. I went to see doctor Boyd, and he basically said, \"You know I can\'t make you any younger.\" I said, \"That\'s not the point. The point is I want to get a good deal older.\"

I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather papa chair in my living room, and my legs are hurting, and I\'m trying to remember what my Lady Wonder Wench wanted me to do with her car tomorrow, and I\'m looking at a blank page where the copy for a new TV commercial that\'s due tomorrow is supposed to be...and in general, I\'m feeling like an oldie-mouldy. Do you ever get that feeling? Like old age is creeking up on you. You feel like your social security number could be one. Like when God said, \"Let there be light\"...you were the one who flipped the switch. You feel yourself going from why not to why bother. You\'re tempted to go to a dentist and have him put braces on your dentures to make you feel younger. Is that what\'s bothering you? Huh? Does it seem like your wild oats have turned to shredded wheat? Don\'t complain. Remember the Attitude/Gratitude Connection. As Big Louie, his own bad self says: \"We have enough youth. How about a fountain of smart?\"

I\'m sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather papa chair in my living room after a very satisfying day. I went to get my driver\'s license renewed today. They take your picture. It didn\'t do me justice. It really looks like me. Well at least my teeth aren\'t wrinkled. I brought along a picture of George Clooney, and I asked the woman in charge to use that on my license. I said, \"Who\'d notice the difference.\" She looked at me as if one more word and she was going to put me on the terrorist no fly list. And they make you sign your name. They printed my grown up name on the license... Richard Summer. But I signed it with my real name Dick Summer. I like to be called Dick. In today\'s politically correct world, the word Dick gets a little attention. I like attention.

I\'m sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable black leather poppa chair in my living room, looking at a new calendar propped up on the shelf over the fireplace with a brand new number where 2012 used to be. The world is still here, and so are we. We didn\'t pay much attention to the people who took that Mayan calendar stuff seriously. We sort of pinned a sign on their backs that said, \"Gone crazy, be back soon.\" But hey, what if they were right? Just think, no income tax this April. Arizona would never become beachfront property because of global warming, and we wouldn\'t have to suffer through another avalanche of stupid political commercials in the next election.But then I started wondering what would we do if we believed the hype, and really figured we had only one more year to live. Would we get holier or hotter? I think I\'d cut loose. How about you?

Calm down folks. We have some great sex news from the smart guys in the white lab coats at Duke University. They explained things clinically, like they always do, but we\'ll translate it into Louie Louie language. I don\'t know why they get so complicated. It\'s like if they wanted to explain that they were out eating lunch, they\'d put up a little sign saying, \"We have temporarily vacated these coordinates to engage in caloric nutritional mastication and enzyme secretion.\"

I\'m sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable black leather poppa chair in my living room, enjoying lights and heat, and fighting with my computer again, because our power is back on. Like lots of folks around here, we lost power during hurricane Sandy. We\'re lucky. Our juice is back on and we\'re cooking with it again. You don\'t pay much attention to your juice till it stops running, and you can\'t cook, and you\'re getting cold. I was trying to unscramble some stuff on the computer when a screen came up that said press any key. I did. And the screen went dark. I was about to press every key...with a sledgehammer when I realized the power had shut down. We don\'t know how to deal with that. It\'s a reality dis-connection.

It\'s Fall which means it\'s fedora time. You can\'t wear a fedora in the Summer. They\'re too hot. In every sense of the word. There is a flair about wearing a fedora. It slips a hint of Indiana Jones into the way you walk. It be-speaks a bit of Bogart. Tom Landry of the Dallas Cowboys and their cheerleaders comes to mind. Michael Jackson tilted his fedora with that one gloved hand, and moon walked in his. A fedora turns a nice, ordinary Louie Louie Generation guy into a smooth, suave, sophisticated one man gland.

A shower is the third of Big Louie\'s six super satisfactions. Number one is sex, number two is steak, number 3 is a shower, number four is scratching an itch, number 5 is a flashing a smile and number six is grabbing a snooze. The six big s\'s for satisfaction.

I\'m sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable black leather poppa chair in my living room enjoying an injury that I have suffered at the hands of my Lady Wonder Wench. Actually the injury was caused by the fist of my Lady Wonder Wench. Her left fist. I have come to call this frequently inflicted injury, the \"Louie Lad Shoulder Slam.\" I have noticed that it\'s an injury that many of my fellow Louie Louie generation guys seem to enjoy frequently. It can happen any time a Louie Louie lady\'s fist is near her Louie Lad\'s shoulder, and he\'s making wise cracks. But it seems to happen most frequently when he\'s driving their car.

Don't Worry, Be Happy

I am sitting here in my big, comfortable, manly, black leather papa chair in my living room, trying to calm down after talking with an individual who\'s birth I suspect, may have been caused by a secret government project gone hideously askew. He is the editor of the new book I\'m trying to finish, and he is what you might call a natural source of methane. He is now objecting to the title of my book...which is Staying Happy Healthy and Hot. I like that title, because it expresses the Louie Louie Generation\'s outlook on life. Staying happy helps to keep you healthy, and when you\'re healthy, your hormones hum heroically. My attitude is that it\'s my book, so I\'ll decide on what the title should be. He tells me I have an attitude problem. I told him I don\'t have an attitude problem. If he has a problem with my attitude, it is not my problem. He claims he even understands internet publishing. I point out to him that the Internet claims that hot naked women want to befriend me, and therefore I distrust everything I read there. Our relationship is approaching a meltdown. Except that a meltdown sounds like fun. Something like a kind of warm cheese sandwich.

Most what I\'m going to tell you this time we talked about last year, because it\'s happening again. I hate this, but it\'s time to tuck another summer away. Sunrise, sunset. To everything there is a season. And this is the season when Summer falls asleep. The long, laughing, lazy, crazy, hazy days at the beach, the nights full of soft lovers voices under the boardwalk...Saturdays in the park, itsy, bitsy, teeny, yellow polka dot bikinis, roller coasters, Italian ice cups, baseball, the sound of crickets, and lawn sprinklers...you can feel them all slipping away...into fall.

The little counter at the bottom of my computer screen says 1,529 emails have just poured into my lap top, as I\'m sitting here on my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room. Four of them seem to be from people I know, although one that says it\'s from our son Eric claims that if I click on the attachment, I will win an all expense paid cruise to the Antarctic, with six famous porn stars to attend my every need. That\'s not the kind of email Eric usually sends. A whole stack of these emails are from some very nice guy in Narobi who wants to send me the money a fourth cousin twice removed left me as his only blood relative. And although I don\'t have a facebook page it has somehow attracted the attention of a bevy of Russian beauties who are desperate to have their way with me. And there are educational emails from all kinds of people. Big Louie, his own bad self always says, \"Never read the educational emails or your life will disappear down a black hole.\"

Wonderful
no
I was sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable black leather pappa chair in my living room listening to our little 3 year old Cecelia sing, when the news about Neil Armstrong\'s death came in. The song she was singing was a three year old\'s happy, but very careful version of \"Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, How I Wonder What You Are.\" It was the absolutely perfect song for the occasion. Cecelia is only 3, but she sometimes amazes us with the things she wonders about. Most of the time she\'s a bundle of bounces and non-stop noise. But I\'ve seen her sit very quietly on our daughter Kris\' lap on a Summer evening, and look up at the stars...and wonder...really wonder...what they are.

Unsafe Around Sharp Objects
no
I just got back from the drug store with a stash of vitamins and magic herbs that will improve my memory, help me sleep, and make My Lady Wonder Wench putty in my arms. And you know those plastic wrappings they put around bottle tops to keep the bad guys from dropping their stuff in there while nobody\'s looking? I grabbed a knife from the drawer, and started cutting around the edge so I could open the lid, and My Lady Wonder Wench said, \"Don\'t cut yourself.\" She doesn\'t trust me with sharp objects. What have I done to deserve that ? (For those of you who have been listening to this podcast for a while, never mind with your wise guy answers.)

\"Frank\" and I have shared around 30 years worth of hamburgers and cold ones, bad jokes, and Auld Lang Synes. He was there to help me when my Lady Wonder Wench had that accident that almost cost her life. He\'s the kind of guy you want around for laughs, and also for when the sky is crashing down around your ears. But there\'s something we can\'t talk about any more, because every time we get into it, he gets angry, really angry. We can\'t talk about America any more.

One Perilous Pound
no
I may have been sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room a little too long. That lying, miserable bathroom scale just said I am one perilous pound short of Dick\'s Disaster. Dick\'s Disaster occurs at 190 pounds. I was 175 pounds at the end of my college career, which consisted of weight lifting, swimming, and vigorous Viagral adventures. Don\'t laugh. I hear some snickers coming from the more fully evolved but prostate challenged among you. Especially those with nicely decorated fourth fingers on your left hands. Don\'t laugh. Viagral adventures are great for a guy\'s health. In fact a new study done at Duke University, claims that having 200 Viagral adventures a year will add an average of six years to a guys life. I sometimes wonder how you get to sign up for studies like that.

I\'m sitting here in my big, black, manly poppa chair in my living room, looking over the report page for this podcast. It\'s interesting that we call this podcast Goodnight. Because it looks like you mostly download it in the overnight hours. I don\'t know when you actually listen, of course, but I\'m hoping you also do that at night. I loved being on the air at night. Even all night. Because nights get lonely, and I liked being the guy who showed up when the lonely was getting a little tough and nasty.

no
What are friends for, if not to break each other\'s crystal balls. I took a baseball bat to my buddy Eric\'s today. Eric\'s had some tough breaks recently. I mean tough. Not just stuff like it\'s pouring rain, and your dog won\'t do anything but sniff around, or after an evening of passion you notice that the empty condom packet in the wastebasket is labeled, \"Made in China\"...or the milk you just poured on your Cheerios smells funny. Eric\'s had his head handed to him. Lady stuff. The kind of thing that has you staying awake all night watching ESPN\'s six hour special called \"Legends Of Miniature Golf.\" He told me he woke up this morning and found his clothes scattered all over the floor...and he was still wearing them. He\'s really down, and this has been going on for a while. It\'s called a depression. Most Louie-Louie Generation folks have had a few of them. They can make you feel like an exchange student from the Twilight Zone.

no
I just came out of the closet, and I found a long lost treasure in there. Let me be very clear what I mean by coming out of my closet. I\'ve been looking at the bulge in the door of my office closet, where I keep my stuff. You know...my stuff. My reel to reel tape recorder, my back issues of Time magazine, my living room lava lamps...you\'ve probably got a closet full of stuff like that too. And I figured that since I can\'t finish the job I was planning on doing...cutting the grass...I might as well take on the battle of the bulge...the bulge in the door.

Big Louie, his own bad self, always says, \"This is a hit and miss life. There\'s nothing in between.\" And as almost always, he\'s right. Brian Williams, on the other hand, keeps reporting on TV, that there are near misses all over the place...in the air and in politics...everywhere. And he\'s wrong. There are no near misses. Think about it. If I look out the windscreen of my little four seat airplane, and it is completely full of the business end of a 747\'s right inboard jet engine...I hope we have a complete miss...not a near miss. If we have a near miss, the airline captain and I are going to very quickly become much more intimate than either one of us want to think about. And the same principle applies to women. Because I am a Louie-Louie Generation Gentleman, I still call a very young woman...\"Miss.\" I think miss is an appropriate and descriptive term for a young woman who has probably been hit on by plenty of Pimple People guys...but so far they have all missed. I think that\'s where we got the term \"miss.\"

Good Changes
no
I\'m sitting on that 3 place swing set that was made in China, with parts from Burma that I told you about a while ago. It looks like the one Kevin Costner and Susan Sarandon were sitting on at the end of the movie. It\'s under a tree by our driveway. I\'m just sitting here waiting for my Lady Wonder Wench to get back from spurring on the economy. I always unload the packages from the trunk...and there are always lots of packages to un-load. So I\'m just sitting here keeping busy by watching my grass grow...which is a good thing to do on a hot and sticky Summer afternoon. Actually, the grass I\'m watching is a just a little clump right next to the garage. I call it my grass, because I\'m from Brooklyn. And this is the first grass I ever planted. The rest of the grass came with the house. This grass...I planted myself. I\'ve planted much more important growing things...like kids, and ideas, and even a few hopes. But this is...some kind of a new experience for me. This is weird. But you\'re probably used to that in these podcasts by now. But I\'ve actually had some no word conversations with my grass.

Fancy Fingernails

I\'m being quiet...sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room. I\'m being quiet, because I just heard a little click from across the room, where my Lady Wonder Wench is sitting on the couch doing her needlepoint. I\'m pretty sure her fingernails made that click. I like the fact that her fingernails are long enough to make a click like that for several reasons. One\'s obvious. Even to the pimple people. It has to do with the terrible need for a slow, thorough scratching a Louie-Louie Generation guy\'s back develops over time. I don\'t know if Pimple People guys have the same problem. But I have a deep, heavy duty, emergency level, need for long, luxurious, ladylike, fingernails slipping up my spine...starting all the way down at the bottom...slowly skittering up between my shoulders... sneaking into the hair on the back of my neck...and s c r a t c h I n g my head...all the way around to my forehead. Oh it feels good... just talking about it.

I\'m sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room, wrapping another toy airplane to send to the newest member of our family, three year old Cecilia. Cecilia had to bring our daughter Kris along when she came to visit us a few months ago, because the airlines don\'t let three year olds fly alone. Cecelia is that kind of three year old. Cecilia lives near a small airport, and Kris has taken her to see the small planes take off and land many times, much to Cecilia\'s delight. So she was really looking forward to flying in a big plane to see us. And she wasn\'t disappointed.

I am sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable black leather poppa chair in my living room, admiring my Lady Wonder Wench\'s curves. No, not those curves. The curves in her handwriting. She\'s working on her new novel, and she likes to write in handwriting. Cursive they call it. It is used almost exclusively by highly evolved human females. My lady wrote a beautiful blog about Cursive just the other day. When she finished it, she closed her computer and gave me a smile like I first saw on the face of the girl who sat in front of me in the 4th grade at St. Gregory\'s grammar school in Brooklyn. Her name was Kathleen McMullen. She was very smart. Every time Sister Mary Knucklebuster asked a question, Kathleen raised her hand with the correct answer. I couldn\'t stand her. She had pigtails. I dipped them in the inkwell every time she leaned back.

And you know, I think they\'re really missing something. I hope you\'ll tell them about the huddle we have here. It\'s like a football huddle...lots of us gathered around, to help each other get to the goal...which is making it through the night...every night. We\'ve been around long enough to know that the night can get pretty dark, and there are bad guys out there on the other team. You can\'t keep running the same plays, and expect to make any yardage. You\'ve got to come up with some new wrinkles if you want to score.

Six years and counting. Here\'s part three of our 6th year anniversary celebration. As with almost everything in my life, very few things come out the way I expect them to. We did the 5 most downloaded podcasts of this year, then the five most downloaded podcasts going all the way back to the beginning...and I told you we\'d have the five most downloaded stories from the Personal Audio CDs this time.

Thank you for giving me a few minutes of your precious time for those of you who have been with us for years. And for those of you who have just joined our huddle, welcome...and let me explain that these podcasts track the constant struggle for respect, recognition and happiness that we Louie-Louie Generation folks wage...daily and nightly, against the insolent forces of the clueless Pimple People, and the Drab and Dreadful Drones...who have fallen into the clutches of the Dork side.

We\'re heading into our sixth year together. Thank you. Thank you for giving me a few minutes of your time every week again this year. Thank you if you\'ve just joined us, and thank you even more if you\'ve been part of this huddle for a long time. If you\'ve just joined us, let me explain that this podcast is about the constant struggle of the Louie-Generation lads and ladies against the forces of the Pimple People, and the Dreadful drones. In other words...it\'s about the fact that real courage isn\'t always about beating your chest and hollering, \"I\'m number one.\" Sometimes it\'s just about a small voice at the end of the day that says, \"I\'ll try again tomorrow.\" That\'s hard. But Louie-Louie Generation folks have been through plenty. And we\'ve got plenty left. Plenty of juice. Plenty of juice for fun, for sex, for new ideas, and for turning fantasies into facts. Sometimes it\'s pretty tough. But one more day...we can do. And when we need help, we just remember what Big Louie, his own bad self, the Chief Mustard Cutter of the Louie-Louie Generation always says: \"Therapy is expensive...snapping bubble wrap is cheap. Your choice.\"We\'re having a three week celebration this year. This time, we\'ll check out the top five downloaded podcasts of the year. Next time it\'s the top five downloaded podcasts of the entire six years. There\'s a big difference. And the time after that it\'ll be the top five most downloaded stories from the Personal Audio CDs.

The Sixth anniversary of the Good night podcast is coming up. Drop me an email...dick at dick summer dot com, and let me know if there\'s a podcast or two that you might like to hear as part of the celebration. Did you ever look for something, and have somebody say, \"There is is...it\'s right under your nose.\" The next time that happens, instead of saying something about having a senior moment, just haul yourself up to your full height, look that person right in the eyes, force your voice down to disc jockey pitch, and say, \"You probably don\'t know, but there is a place right under your nose that\'s a blind spot. Therefore you can\'t really see anything directly under your nose. So button your lip.\"And that\'s really true. There\'s a blind spot right under the middle of your nose. And 99% of the guys listening right now, are checking it out, and 100% of their ladies are watching them in horror.

I am sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room, having survived a \"Richard\" morning. As any honest, Louie-Louie Generation guy will admit, one of the good things about having some years in your rear view mirror is that eventually you learn when to say yes, when to say no, and when to say, Whoopie and when to say, Whoops. My Lady Wonder Wench saw a very loud, Whoopie coming this morning, and that\'s why she said, Richard. When she says RICHARD like that...it always gets my attention. My Lady Wonder Wench is the only person in the world, besides the IRS, the FAA, and the Department of Motor Vehicles that calls me Richard. And that\'s only when my testosterone has betrayed me, and I do something that can best be described as adolescent, immature, and or smarmy. I guess I hit the jackpot this morning.

When you become a Louie-Louie Generation lad or lady, it becomes obvious that life will eventually turn you into either one of the 3 Stooges, or one of the 3 Musketeers. And it\'s mostly your choice.

In that same beach\'s parking lot, an old time Chevvy station wagon, with a license plate that expresses a deeply felt urge for many a Louie-Louie Generation lad and lass. It said, \"I-Gotta-P\".

Things go bump in the night...you get scared when the floor creeks, or some dog starts barking down the street, and your aches and pains, both physical and emotional always hurt the most at night. I always liked being on the air at night, because I like being a voice that can tell you a story, make you smile a little, help you feel safe at night. It\'s like guys on a team pick eachother up. I just finished talking to an old friend. He\'s scared tonight. And angry. Those two things go together. He\'s scared and angry because he\'s buying the message of the Fearful Fringe. He is fully expecting Armageddon, The Collapse of the American Way, and a sky full of Black Helicopters by next Thursday at the latest. The Fearful Fringe see boogie men everywhere. And the all news channels just love them, because rule number one of the news business is, \"If it bleeds, it leads.\" And the Fearful Fringe bleed in buckets. I call them the Fearful Fringe, because they\'re scared, and I think they live just around the edges of the America I live in. You see, I think we have a secret weapon. Let me tell you about it.

I\'m sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room...I was just having some laughs with my Lady Wonder Wench, and I was thinking this is the best life has ever been for me. Just laughing with my Lady. Pretty basic isn\'t it. Among other things, we were discussing the possible mating rituals of Big Bird, and Oscar the grouch. And the ethics involved if you are at the ten items or less fast checkout lane. For example, if you have 6 apples, that\'s one item if they\'re in a bag. And 6 bananas without a bag, is also one item, because they\'re all attached to each other. But suppose you have two grapefruit, and there\'s no bag big enough for both of them. I maintain that since they\'re both grapefruit, that\'s one item. She claims reasoning like that is due to the fact that I\'m from Brooklyn, and therefore I am inclined to cheat. And I remind her that if we get in the back of the slow lines, we could be there so long, we\'d be in danger of being enveloped by a glasier. And I tell her cheating is allowed when it\'s self preservation. Life is good. Mostly, because she\'s in it. Very basic. I like basics better than fancys.

I am sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable black leather poppa chair in my living room, and I am shrinking. I can\'t feel it, but I now know for sure that I am shrinking ! Isn\'t that what the Wicked Witch of the West said in The Wizard of Oz? I am shrinking. Because my age index is pretty high, but my maturity level hasn\'t kept up with it, I often wonder if, \"I\'m shrinking\" is what psychologists say when the phone rings while they\'re working. \"I can\'t talk to you now, I\'m shrinking.\" Can you imagine listening to a shrink dealing with a manic depressive patient. \"Cheer up. Calm down. Cheer up. Calm down.\" That would wear anybody down. Maybe that\'s why they call Psychiatrists shrinks. They\'re all worn down.

Big Louie, his own bad self, the Chief Mustard Cutter of the Louie-Louie Generation, says there are six gears on your love boat. There\'s neutral...when there\'s nothing going on. There\'s pre-fore-play...like when Lady Wonder Wench is taking a shower. There\'s fore-play, like stuff having to do with feathers. There\'s Play, of course. Then there\'s After play, which is the gear that most people don\'t think about. And there\'s reverse... which is a condition that is marked by silence, serious sulking, exaggerated politeness, needing your own space, having an affair, or moving to seperate states. Those are the six gears on your love boat. If you don\'t deal with number five the right way, number six will hit you. And your love boat will back up and crash on the rocks.

I spent the afternoon in a Manly way. I was felling trees with my chain saw. Then I tossed huge logs into piles that stacked all the way to the roof. Well...part of the way. Then, when I was sure my Lady Wonder Wench was watching out the window, I stalked all over the property for signs of bears or other predatory wild life, which haven\'t actually been seen here since the James Madison administration...but my Lady Wonder Wench was watching, so I figured I\'d go stalking around with my shotgun ready...just in case. All in an afternoon\'s work for a Manly Louie-Louie Generation guy.

What we have needed for so long is the opposite of the word...\"Hello.\" A catch all statement that definitively puts an end to a phone conversation without offending anybody, or making you lie... too much. A simple but effective statement to terminate a phone conversation with any one without hurting any feelings. A statement so simple, emphatic and believeable, that even one of the Pimple People would understand. A statement with class, with feeling, with urgency. In short a statement that any Louie-Louie Generation guy or gal can use with confidence, clarity, and even a touch of élan.

Valentine\'s Day is a great excuse for some extra hugging, and kissing, and general fooling around. I have heard that some people get so carried away they even hug the nearest tree. Big Louie, his own bad self, the Chief Mustard Cutter of the Louie-Louie Generation puts that into perspective. He always says, \"It\'s ok to hug a tree. As long as that\'s as far as it goes.\" And at the other extreme are a couple of guys I know who just ignore Valentine\'s Day. I guess they\'ve just grown up too much to enjoy themselves anymore. And of course, there are quite a few folks who are taking another heavy hit to the heart this Valentine\'s Day. And unfortunately, it\'s true that sometimes...the hottest loves end in the coldest words. That\'s tough. I\'ve been lucky. The last time that happened to me was with a blonde. Blue eyes. We were in Kindergarten. Her name was Joanie. And she didn\'t even open my Valentine\'s Day card. Kind of made me feel like just another sock in the laundromat of life. That was a long time ago, and I\'ve pretty much forgotten all about it. Mostly.

Leap!
no
It is leap year, but I am not leaping from my big, comfortable, black leather poppa chair, because I have found that I don\'t bounce nearly as well as I used to. That\'s such an athletic word...leap. It suggests a finely muscled athlete... perhaps in a leotard...soaring into the air. I don\'t mind doing the soaring, but I don\'t like being sore, so it\'s the crashing back to the ground that sometimes bothers me.

God Says FebBRRRuary
no
Suppose you were God, and you wanted to make a really nasty, cold month...which if you were God, you\'d have a perfect right to do. Maybe you wanted people to know, and appreciate, that just as you could make a stinking hot month like August, you could make a crappy cold month too if you felt like it. In your mercy, you\'d make it shorter than the other months, but it would be really nasty cold. So you made the month, and gave it the name February... because, FeBRUary has that nice kind of cold BRRR sound in there. Now suppose your clueless people keep leaving out the BRRR. They keep calling it Febyouary. If you were God, wouldn\'t you kind of tighten down the cold screws a little, hoping people would get the point?

Valentine\'s Day is coming. That\'s a big deal around here. In some places it\'s not. I guess like a lot of things, it depends on the context. The context here is that my Lady Wonder Wench seriously disrupts the estrogen level for most of this zip code. When she walks around in her two piece...which is what I call her bedroom slippers...I often lose control of my eyebrows, my ears, my fingers, and many of my other parts, and I am...for a short period of time...once again...Lifeguard Man. So I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room, scratching my head...which feels good by the way...trying to think of a new and better way to put how I feel about my Lady Wonder Wench into a Valentine\'s Day context.

Giggles That Jiggle
no
I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room, watching my Lady Wonder Wench giggle...at the fact that I may never again be able to get up from my big, comfortable black leather poppa chair...because I\'ve had my first real work out at the gym since we moved here...which was a long time ago. Actually all I did was swim in their 25 meter long pool. I did 800 meters. And I now have a real appreciation for the difference between a yard and a meter. A meter is approximately 6 miles longer than a yard. I need to put this in context for you. I was, in my \"yout\"...which is the Brooklyn word meaning young person...the chief lifeguard at Coney Island\'s Section 4. I was...at that time...I was...I believe the term is...ripped. There were days when I had paperwork to do in the lifeguard shack, but I felt that it was my duty to go for a stroll along the beach because I looked so good. That was then. This is now. I realized yesterday that I have spent a little too much time in my poppa chair...because when I went to stand up and tighten my belt...for an agonizing few seconds...I couldn\'t find it. And when I did tighten it, I felt like I was all of a sudden two inches taller.

The Pimple People don\'t like hot. They\'re too kool, and they spell cool with a K instead of a \"c\". Maybe they avoid using a c, because they don\'t want to see...as in see where you are and what you\'re doing, see people...one at a time...see the magic all around you...and the magic inside you. Don\'t get lost. Keep finding yourself. That\'s my New Year\'s resolution. And I\'m telling you about it now at the beginning of this new year as a warning. Because I am going to keep reminding you all year long, that if you want...you really can keep dreaming...and believing in your dreams...and you can keep turning them into your own magic, even if...sometimes ...the rabbit in the hat bites your hand...and people laugh at you, and tell you how not kool is is to be a dreamer.

Christmas Warm, One More Time
no
I\'m sitting here in my big, black, comfortable pappa chair in the living room, listening to some Christmas music. There\'s Christmas music all over the radio again this year. The Eagle\'s \"Please come home for Christmas\" is the fifth most played Christmas song on the radio again this year. Number four is Andy Williams \"The Most Wonderful Time of the Year.\" \"Feliz Navidad\" by Jose Feliciano comes in at number three. Nat Cole\'s \"Christmas Song\" is number two. And THE most played Christmas song this year is Bing Crosby\'s \"White Christmas\" from somewhere around 70 years ago. All those artists had lots of hits in their careers. But the most popular Christmas song of all time was a one hit wonder.

I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, black leather pappa chair in my living room...and pretty soon I\'m going to have to move it, because we always put our Christmas tree right between my chair, and the big stereo speakers our son Eric the inventor built for us a few years ago. We don\'t put up our tree till Christmas Eve, and it may be a bit early to be thinking about it right now, but that seems to be all the stores ARE thinking about. Some of them have had Christmas decorations up since just after Labor Day. Some people resent the fact that the Christmas shopping season seems to start a week earlier every year. I really don\'t mind. I like Christmas. People say, \"Why can\'t we have Christmas all year long.\" Well the way it\'s being started earlier and earlier every year, by somewhere around 2020, it WILL be with us all year long.

A Saintly Thanksgiving
no
I was sitting in my big, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room just now, thinking about Thanksgiving. Among other things, Thanksgiving is an anniversary for me. It was on Thanksgiving night a lot of years ago, that I started the Men Are Saints campaign on WNBC radio. I called it the M.A.S. appeal. Men are saints. The idea came from remembering a Thanksgiving watching what happened when my Lady Wonder Wench, and our daughter Kris, our Daughter in Law Brenda, and our Sister in law Beth were scurrying around preparing dinner, while the guys were...otherwise occupied. And I had an actual thought. It was then when I realized that men are seldom given credit for our sensitivity, our intelligence and our selfless behavior.

Holy Batman !

It looks like our mailboxes have now gone the way of outdoor phone booths, rooftop TV antennas, hula hoops, lava lamps, and mini skirts.

That\'s why my Lady Wonder Wench and I don\'t take many traveling vacations. We like being home. Willie Nelson likes being on the road. Willie\'s current road trip included a theater not too far away from here last night, so we grabbed a couple of seats because we both like his music. The theater was packed. Lots of the people had long beautiful hair, very fancy hats, and stylish boots. And there were quite a few women there too.

Dick's Halloween Dark Side
no
I like the dark. Diversions dissolve in the dark. Diversions like your aching back, your visiting mother in law, and even your job. If you\'re not afraid of the dark, and you let it dissolve the diversions in your life, you begin to see some faces looking at you. And sometimes one of those faces is...yours. It can be spooky. Especially the look in your eyes. But seeing your own face looking back at you in the dark...can really be an eye opener to some of the things you didn\'t know about yourself.

The Lance Of Doom
no
I was sitting here in my big, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room last night, watching a stink bug crawling up on the wall toward the ceiling. I knew that if I mentioned this to my Lady Wonder Wench, who was sitting in her usual spot on the couch...right under the bug...she would run right out of her socks into the kitchen, and she\'d trip and hurt herself. I didn\'t want that to happen. On the other hand, I was a bit concerned that if I didn\'t tell her about it, the bug might fall down from the ceiling, and land in her lap. In which case she would skip the running part, pull a Star Trek move...and just kind of beam herself into some parallel universe, leaving only her t shirt, skirt, socks, and hair, behind on the couch, as sad reminders of the wonderful, sexy, happy life we had when she lived here in this universe with me.

I just got an email that knocked me right out of my big, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room. It said, quote, \"Richard, why are you wearing your mother\'s bra?\" My head went zap...and flashed me the most bizarre picture I have ever seen. Perhaps flashed isn\'t the proper word here. The email went on to say that I must modernize my bra, with a seamless microfiber pullover model that features a ribbed band that eliminates rolls, wires and adjusting straps. And for God\'s sake...I shouldn\'t wear an old fashioned bra that hooks in the back or front. When my eyes stopped rotating long enough for me to regain conscious thought, I couldn\'t help wondering where the hell does this thing does hook.

I\'m sitting in my big, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room, mourning the loss of my hevele. I know it\'s missing, because my friend Susan, who runs the post office down the block just asked me about it. Susan and I have been friends since I awarded her my first Gruntled Post Office Employee Of The Month award. It was a bar of Hershey Dark Chocolate.She is usually very up-beat and pleasant. But today she looked at me and said, \"Why do you look so disheveled?\" Disheveled ? Now, I don\'t take a bow every time I pass a mirror, but on the other hand, I don\'t think I look like my hobby is stepping on rakes either. And I am in reasonably good health...my doctor recently assured me that regardless of my age, I am still not showing many of the early signs of mummification. And I reminded Susan of what Big Louie, his own bad self, the Chief Mustard Cutter of the Louie-Louie Generation always says, \"It\'s wasteful to throw a whole face away, just because it\'s banged up a bit.\"

An earthquake. I\'ve felt the earth move before, but never when my Lady Wonder Wench was in some other room. My Lady Wonder Wench frequently creates testosterone tsunamis which cause hormonal power surges in guys all over our zip code. It is very difficult for me to describe what Lady Wonder Wench looks like without using my hands.

When I opened the curtain and looked out at our back yard like I do every morning, the sun was hitting the trees from a strange angle. It wasn\'t the winter angle by any means. It didn\'t even look like fall. But this morning, it wasn\'t middle of the summer soft like it has been since early July. It was like something out of the \"Twilight Zone.\"

Answer The Damn Question

We\'re dreamers, you and I...all of us...Americans. That\'s how we got to the moon. We had the dream, and we made it happen. We dreamed about buildings that would scrape the sky, so we built a sky scraper national park and called it New York. All mankind has always dreamed of flying...and it was a couple of our guys by the name of Wright who made it happen.That song that Francis Scott Key wrote was about a dream that came true. But Francis Scott Key, the lawyer, was used to staying one step ahead of the competition, and he knew it wasn\'t a completely done deal. He knew that like any dream, it would take effort, and guts and a little luck to keep it alive. And he wasn\'t sure that would happen...which is why he ended his song with a question. A question that has...up until now...had a simple answer. And that answer has always been yes...until now. The question is, \"Oh say does that star spangled banner still wave...o\'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave?\" I\'m not sure we can answer that question with a simple yes right now.

no
I just re-recorded the outgoing message on our phone machine. Louie-Louie Generation guys like to think of ourselves as funny phone fellows. Our prostate challenged partners sometimes call us other names. They simply do not understand why we love weird outgoing phone machine messages. Most Louie-Louie ladies are perfectly content to use the pre recorded message that came with the machine...or they just say \"You\'ve reached the Smith residence. Please leave your name and phone number and we\'ll get back to you as soon as we can.\" We, on the other hand, savor the opportunity. We have somebody by the ear, and they can\'t get away until we hit our punch line. Our outgoing phone message is our version of Jay Leno\'s monologue.

I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room...which is good. Because I got an email a little while ago, with some news that would have knocked me down if I weren\'t already sitting. When I finished reading it, I called my Lady Wonder Wench, and told her about it. She said something that sounded like, \"Oh my God...wow\"...while holding her cell phone at arms length as she got to the word \"Wow\". I only think that\'s what she said, because the last word came out on a note that was so high, and loud, that I couldn\'t really hear it, but Golden Retrievers for three blocks around fled in terror, and windows and eyeglasses cracked all over the zip code. It was great news, but it really screwed up my day, because I completely forgot about everything else...including the fact that I was supposed to be interviewed on a radio program about my books and CDs...and I just forgot about it...which was not only un-professional, it was simply inconsiderate and impolite. And I\'m a Louie-Louie Generation guy. Louie-Louie Generation guys have manners.

We do that every time we come home from a flight in our little airplane.Helen Hill isn\'t big. Only a handful of people even know it has a name. It\'s a mostly un-remarkable bump in the landscape, named after a woman who led an un-remarkable life. All Helen did, all her life, was teach her kids to care about each other, go to church, work hard, and be proud of being American.

I was standing in front of a class room packed with my peers, calmly confessing to worshiping false Gods, disrespecting my parents, and murder. Suddenly, the word, \"RICHARD\" rang out loud and clear in the un-mistakable voice of my first communion teacher, Sister Mary Knucklebuster. Sister Knucklebuster was a female version of General George Patton. And she was presiding over a class rehearsal for first confession. It was my turn to stand in front of the room, and recite the famous formula...\"Bless me father for I have sinned.\" I was 7 years old, and sister knew that in order to come up for material to confess, I was going down The Moses Top Ten No-No List. That means after confessing to murder, which was number five, I was about to confess to adultery, and coveting my neighbor\'s wife.

Summer Lovin

This podcast has been going on for a few years now. And lots of you proud podcast participants have been kind enough to send me stories about how you spent your summers. Betsy really nailed it about the Loser\'s bedtime story. She said, \"It reminded me of something my dad said just before he died. He used to take us on summer trips every year. One year he said he couldn\'t afford a motel any more, and we\'d have to camp out if we wanted to go. That was the best summer trip we ever took.\" Carole said, We lived near Yankee Stadium in a 4 story walk up that got the afternoon sun. So to cool off we\'d sit out on the fire escape and listen to the roar from the Stadium. And when Carol heard about my lifeguard adventure with Matilda, she said, \"I did my share of the cross - chest carry as a Water Safety instructor, and I\'m with you. It\'s very easy to have a 2 piece bathing suit malfunction in surf when performing a rescue. It\'s not like you were administering un-necessary mouth to mouth on her!\" (I hope you\'re listening Lady Wonder Wench.) Dick B said, \"I remember just sitting on the stoop with my friends, watching the world go by, till the ice cream truck came. We called the guy Jolly because he was always so grumpy. How do we slow things down like they were then.\" Hey Dick, I guess we don\'t.

GiggleBites All Over
no
I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, black leather pappa chair in my living room, kicking off my slippers, because I don\'t have enough fingers to scratch all my giglebites. Let me explain. Big Louie, his own bad self, the Chief Mustard Cutter of the Louie-Louie Generation, has a new Louie-Louie Language word to describe an email that puts a smile on your face. He calls it a Giggle-bite. Because it\'s a gigabite with a laugh. I told you that I had a little bumpy time with last week\'s podcast, and courtesy of your own bad selves, I now have giggle bites all over me. And thank you for sending those gigglebites. Every time I scratch them they feel...very good. Thank you.

Deadly Offensive Podcast
no
Time for me to brush off some dust. This podcast is for grown ups...Louie-Louie folks...of all ages. Big Louie, the Chief Mustard Cutter of the Louie-Louie Generation always says, \"The word grown up describes a person who has been known to groan from being knocked down, but always gets up, brushes off the dust, and gets on with life.\" That\'s a grown up. I know a lot of you from emails, or phone calls, or even visits. And you\'re all grown ups. So I guess you can stand hearing an offensive podcast without having it scar you too deeply. I have no idea why it\'s offensive. I don\'t want to offend you on this podcast any more than I\'d want to offend you in person. But I obviously screwed up somewhere.

Don't Do What You Don't Wanna Do
no
I was diligently drinking my morning cup of coffee today, seriously considering the possibility of starting to work to finish the report I\'d been working on for a couple of days, because it\'s due tomorrow morning, when the phone rang. I put the half full coffee cup down next to the computer, kicked my chair back, tripped on the rug, and as I grabbed the desk to keep from falling down, I knocked the coffee into the computer key board. The call was from a telemarketer. And it was recorded. I hit the call back button on the phone to ream the company out, and a phone company recording said the number was out of service. I walked over to the kitchen to grab a paper towel to sop up the coffee, forgetting that I had used the last of the roll last night. Fortunately, I was wearing an old shirt, so I looked around to be sure my Lady Wonder Wench wasn\'t watching, and I reverted to my bachelor days. Without thinking, I pulled the shirt up out of my trousers, and started wiping up the coffee. But in the process of trying to get the coffee out from between the computer keys, I must have hit the delete button, and the report I was going to finish disappeared from the screen, replaced by a notice that said I was trying to perform an illegal operation, and therefore the program would close down to protect the computer, and I should see the network administrator.

I Taste Bad
no
I must taste bad. Especially to mosquitos. They simply don\'t bother me. My Lady Wonder Wench is in the bathroom applying itch ointment to a mountain of mosquito bites to surprisingly personal places. She obviously tastes good. Which figures when you look at her. But that makes her a human salad bar for mosquitoes. There is a difference between tasting bad, and bad taste. Tasting bad makes you mosquito proof, keeps you from sucking your thumb when it\'s time to write a check for your income tax, and keeps elderly aunt kisses at a minimum when you are a child. Bad taste is wearing a nose ring with bi-focals, spiked hair and a bald spot, and short shorts with varicose veins. Big Louie, his own bad self, The Chief Mustard Cutter of the Louie-Louie Generation always says, \"Don\'t sweat that stuff. Just wear what ever you can still button that doesn\'t itch, and can still pass the sniff test.\" You like to wear a thong with your depends... go for it.

My Inner Brat
no
I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room, channeling my inner child. There he is...about six years old...sitting in the warm Coney Island sand, making a sand castle...trying to get a channel made just right so when the edges of the waves came in, some water would flow up into the pool he dug, behind the castle walls where the imaginary alligators lived. He\'s a happy kid, about to have his first real fist fight...when another kid...a few years older...came walking along and purposely kicked down a castle wall. It wasn\'t much of a fight. My inner child just got so mad, he jumped up, and smacked the other kid in the face...which neither kid really expected...and the other kid ran away. It was just a quick, automatic reaction that got my inner child the results he wanted that day...but occasionally got him in a lot of trouble as the years went on.

My Lady Wonder Wench wrote a comment on the blog at Dick Summer dot com about the fact that I forgot our wedding anniversary again this year. She said, \"My Louie-Louie Lad remembers me all the time...with jelly beans, and daffodils, and holding hands, and laughing at silly jokes, and bedtime stories. Don\'t get me wrong, I love getting jewelry and candy and flowers and fancy dinners and marvelous blouses from very fancy shops. But I love my Louie-Louie Lad more.\" That\'s the kind of thing that will make a Louie-Louie Generation guy like me stand up very straight, and look her right in the eyes, and kiss her face until my fillings melt. She slips sexy notes into my shirt pockets. She plays with me, and laughs. She makes me feel powerful, because she lets me make her feel beautiful. I am some kind of lucky guy.

My Lady Wonder Wench is wonderful. She deserves a good husband. Fortunately for me, I grabbed her before she found one. I forgot our wedding anniversary. How the heck could I do that? She\'s never more than an inch away from whatever I\'m thinking about. We\'ve been together for decades...singing in the rain, and crying through some tough nights. I FORGOT OUR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. I think one reason Louie-Louie generation lads and ladies don\'t have babies, is that the Lord is afraid we\'d forget where we put them.

The Dreaded Moose Hunter Story
no
I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, black leather pappa chair, seriously considering telling you my favorite joke. My Lady Wonder Wench calls it, \"The Deadly Moose Hunter Joke.\" And she says she hates it, but she likes it when I ask her to do the punch line. Maybe that\'s because she knows when she does that, it\'s over. I like my moose hunter story so much that I tell it when I notice somebody is feeling a little... frazzled. A little fizzle sneaks into every life. Usually it\'s little stuff. Somebody sends you a get well card, and you get a paper cut from opening it. You wake up in the morning, and you realize it\'s Monday. You rent a porn movie and fall asleep watching it. That\'s a fizzle. I figure one way to fix a fizzle is with a giggle. And my moose hunter joke is usually good for a giggle. So...here goes.

The Guy In The Cape
no
I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room. I like being comfortable. Louie-Louie Generation guys have earned the right to be comfortable. That\'s why I have just changed from my formal attire...my black silk and leather cape with the sterling silver clasps, my gold lame loin cloth and matching purple ostrich feather, to these jeans, which have, as the commercial says, \"A scosh more room.\" They go nicely with my \"Save The Dinosaurs\" tee shirt with the hole under the left armpit, and my stylish, purple orthopedic sweat socks. It\'s not stylish, but it\'s me. It\'s comfortable.Women like to snuggle with capable, comfortable guys. And Louie-Louie Generation guys are very capable of giving singularly superior snuggles. We will smuggle a snuggle into our lives at every opportunity.

I\'ll just call her, \"Lady B.\" It says, in part, \"I have to walk kind of slouched over, because if I stand up straight, people accuse me of trying to \'work my thing.\"Proud Podcast Participant, \"Lady B\" is a beautiful, well built, Louie-Louie Generation lady. And she\'s walking slouched over because she\'s letting some simple Pimple People make her uncomfortable. Big Louie, his own bad self, immediately sent her a return Email that said...\"You have the right to stand up straight. Do You.\"

Whack Attack
no
You are about to experience a whack attack. Listen, you know people who are having a hard time...people who are obviously uncomfortable. They always say, \"I\'m all out of whack.\" So let me tell you that tonight, I am very definitely IN Whack. What\'s left of my Louie-Louie Generation body has just about conquered a beastly bug, and I am feeling remarkably lifelike.I\'m sitting here in my big, black, comfortable leather pappa chair in my living room, which really helps make me comfortable in my fanny and in my feelings. When things get out of whack for me, sitting in it always helps me get back into whack...where I belong.Most people are out of whack way too often. They\'re not comfortable in their fannies and their feelings. Even some of my fellow Louie-Louie Generation guys who should know better get their shorts all knotted up. They get jealous of the young guys. They think the young guys all live lives involving large hot tubs full of naked Victoria\'s Secret models. Ha. According to Big Louie, his own bad self, the Chief Mustard Cutter of the Louie-Louie Generation, the fact is that the typical evening of excitement for Pimple People guys is watching the third re-run of the scores on ESPN, while eating the last few kernels of popcorn from the bag they just brought home from the movies.

The Swift Shrinkage Of Spousal Spice
no
I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, black leather pappa chair in my living room, trying to figure out how to do a better job of explaining last week\'s Do You Do You podcast. I don\'t think I made it clear enough. And it\'s important to me that I make it clear enough that you really understand. Because I am a big fan of spousal spice. I guess you could call me a spousal Spice Guy. Spousal as in my Lady Wonder Wench. And Spice as in hot. Some things are so clear, they don\'t need an explanation. There were orange traffic cones on Rt. 52 today, with a totally un-necessary sign that said, \"Construction next 2 miles.\" Right off hand, the only other explanation for orange traffic cones on the road I could come up with would be, \"Psychedelic witches embedded in macadam next two miles.\" There are some signs...that should be just as clear...all around us...But it looks like we\'re not seeing them. And that\'s what makes me think you might want to remember to Do You. I call them signs of the swift shrinkage of spousal spice.

I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, black leather pappa chair in my living room. I know where I am, I know who I am, and I know why I\'m here. I\'m not confused. And it\'s obvious that lots of people are. That\'s because they don\'t follow Big Louie\'s best advice of all time: \"Do you.\" \"Do you\", means think for yourself, and never let anybody else eat your hunch. \"Do you\". Just two words. But they clear up all kinds of confusion, and sometimes they even lower your blood pressure to within human tolerances.

I am sitting here in utter confusion. Actually, I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, black leather pappa chair in my living room...but I can\'t figure this out. I call this podcast Goodnight, because I thought some folks might like a few comfortable stories and a little fun just before they go to sleep. Confusion not only reigns, it pours. Because I just looked at the computer counter for this Goodnight podcast, and what time do you think most people listen to this podcast? Right. 8 AM. How did you figure that out? Maybe you\'re one of the people who does that. Is it because from the perspective of midnight, 8AM is very late... and you just like to stay up very, very late?

You\'ve got to work with what you\'ve got. So when you hear my Lady Wonder Wench\'s new TV commercial, remember that\'s only her, \"What-is-the-matter-with-you\" voice when she\'s saying, \"Is there anybody there ?\" That one voice does not describe what type of woman she is. She is not a type. She is a person. She has lots of other voices. Her \"mommy\" voice, her \"Honey do\" voice, her \"Dealing with the telemarketer\" voice. And of course her \"I\'m your girlfriend voice.\" BUT...unfortunately for you, although I am not the jealous husband, killer, stomp on you type...because I am also a person...not a type...but sorry folks...you\'re going to have to work with what you\'ve got. And you are not going to hear her \"I am your girlfriend\" voice. Because, that\'s what I\'ve got to work with.

Winter is God\'s way of saying, \"Up yours.\" The sun didn\'t come out all day today. Can\'t blame it. It was way too cold. I walked outside to get the mail a little while ago, with my cup in my hand, and by the time I got back inside, I was enjoying a chunk of coffee. You could freeze an egg on the sidewalk. That might be why hens were seen laying eggs from a standing position today. People with high fevers were renting themselves out as car seat warmers. Instead of saying \"Have a nice day,\" courteous supermarket checkouts were saying, \"I hope you go to hell.\" Flashers were just describing themselves. Priests all over the arch diocese couldn\'t get their cars started, because darn and drat weren\'t powerful enough encouragement words. A little while ago, while I was putting a log on the fire, I noticed a little tiny frozen brown spot. The fire hit it just now and it went pop...and for just a moment, it stank something awful. It was probably a little tiny frozen squirrel fart. I\'m sorry...flatulence. Can\'t be too careful...the forces for good in the community will tie a knot in my microphone cord, and I\'ll never be heard from again.

The Big Bad Boredom Bully
no
Toys are more important than you think. They help protect us from the big, bad, boredom bully. A toy is a just for having fun. Having fun is good. And people who have fun, are usually fun to be around. They are never boring, because they never get bored. That\'s important. Boredom is a big bully. It beats people up more than YOU can possibly imagine... because the kind of people who listen to this podcast...may have lots of problems...but boredom...probably isn\'t one of them. Now there is a clear distinction between a tool and a toy. A tool is something you need. A toy is something you want, so you pretend it\'s a tool to give you an excuse to get it. A toy is not something you\'re going to just show off...like a 20 pound gold plated cufflink. That kind of thing is not a toy. I\'d call it more of an ego expander.

She Said NOTHING!
no
When Lady Wonder Wench says, \"I\'m sorry,\" she means \"You\'re going to be sorry.\" That\'s bad enough. When she says, \"How much do you love me,\" I know that means she did something that I\'m not going to like. I remember when she said, \"This kitchen floor is hard to clean,\" I realized she meant she wanted a new house. I had a woman once say to me, \"Can\'t we just be friends?\" And I knew she meant there was no way she was going to let any part of my body touch any part of her body again. All those things, I could understand, and deal with in my own Louie-Louie Gentlemanly way. But you guys know...when you ask a woman, \"What\'s wrong,\" and she says...\"Nothing\"...something is really wrong.

Who Can You Trust?
no
My life has always had an odd shape...like a piece in a jigsaw puzzle. It sometimes takes sudden zig-zag turns when I least expect it. I like it that way. I\'m never bored. And every time my life zigs, I can depend that my Lady Wonder Wench will be \"The One\" to help me make it through the next zag. I\'m not a religious guy. But sometimes, when I think about that, I have to take a quick deep breath, and when I exhale, something comes out that sounds a lot like a very quiet...\"Thank You.\"This podcast has kind of an odd shape too. It\'s mostly for fun, and to enjoy a conversation with some good people...you few, you mighty, you proud, podcast, participants. It\'s like I am the mouth, and you are the ear. But sometimes that gets turned around. Sometimes, like tonight, it\'s you who bring up some industrial strength questions. Like...what happens when you think you\'ve found, \"The One,\" and she or he...walks out of your life. Can you ever get over that? And maybe most important, will you ever be able to trust enough...to take a chance...that someone else might really be...\"The One.\"

And like most Louie-Louie Ladies, my Lady Wonder Wench doesn\'t understand how a grown man can fall on his side on the floor, and kick his legs with milk spurting out of his nose when he hears a wonderful joke. That\'s when she gives me the Louie-Louie Lady Cower-Power look. This podcast is about developing a Louie-Louie Lad Look, that will even the score.

Happy 2011 A new page. A new calendar. Another time to tackle, \"Firsts.\" How many \"Firsts\" do you remember ? Your first job? Your first kiss? There are a bunch of firsts that I remember in this podcast. And there\'s one very special gift to start your new year. If you\'ve been listening to the Good Night podcasts for a while, you\'ll realize how special that gift is. Happy New Year.

Christmas Flight 2010
no
\'Twas The Flight Before Christmas ...and all through our house...my Lady Wonder Wench and I are getting ready to meet the Christmas Spirit. Not Santa Claus. The Christmas Spirit. We do this every year. We bundle up, go down to the little airport where we keep our small plane, strap in, start the engine, and climb up into the cold, black, just before Christmas midnight. And so far...every year...well...give the podcast a listen. And...Merry Christmas.

Christmas with Dave 2010
no
One of the Summer Family\'s favorite Christmas treasures is in this podcast. It gets un-packed each year, along with the long legged little Santa that looks like Lady Wonder Wench\'s father used to look that has hung on our tree for decades. It\'s as important a part of our Christmas memories as the delicate, hand made, glass Christmas ball that first hung on my Grandfather\'s tree in Germany a couple of generations ago...and the tree top star I cut from cardboard and covered with tinfoil on the first Christmas Lady Wonder Wench and I had together. We couldn\'t afford to buy one in the store that year. It\'s a gift our son David gave to our family, and with his permission I\'m passing it along to you. David is a senior computer programmer. He gets this podcast to you each week. But he\'s also a very gifted, professional musician. He got that talent from his Grandfather. His present is one you will want to keep...so you can open it again next year, and for many years to come. Merry Christmas.

It\'s time for Jingle Bells, Louie-Louie style. Louie-Louie Generation lads and ladies have been around long enough to have more than a few good Christmas/Hannakah/Solstice/Kwanza stories to tell. So let\'s tell them to each other. You can send yours to Dick@dicksummer.com, or just go to the blog at the www.dicksummer.com website and add it to the comments on the current blog. Looking for the laughs, the tears, the presents, the surprises...the memories...that make this time of the year...and this time of our lives...so special.

D...the new N Word
no
I\'ve just noticed that civilization as we know it is tottering at a tipping point. Teetering...even. And it\'s my fault. The ancient Mayan 2012 end of the world prophesy is nothing compared to the impact on our weakened society of what I must call, the dreaded \"D Word!\" I must be careful just saying that out loud, because \"Forces For Good In The Community\" are always lurking... constantly alert to this incredible opportunity that the use of this new, and dreaded \"D Word\" gives them to be shocked, dismayed, and offended. We have, in the long history of mankind, faced similar threats to our way of life when we have discovered...hidden...craftily in our midst...the \"B Word,\" the \"N Word,\" The \"H Word,\" and the \"F Word.\" Words for which, if you say them, those Forces For Good In The Community will righteously punish you by getting you fired from your broadcasting job, banishing you to live in Odessa, Texas, and/or sticking your wet tongue in a hot socket. (Actually sticking your wet tongue in a hot socket might not be such a bad punishment, because the resulting hairdo might win you a place on American Idol.)

Thankfull Stuff-ings
no
If you and I take a moment out from complaining about everything, we\'ll come up with lots of big things to be thankful for...like the freedom to complain...even about the government...out loud...for example. But how about little thankful things? Like the ice cream sandwich with the little flakes of dark chocolate I had yesterday, or walking on the beach with somebody special...on Christmas day...or sharing a bag of hot popcorn with that same somebody, sitting next to you waiting for a movie to begin...or just tossing a Frizzzzzz- beeeee. But we\'re talkin turkey today. Turkeys are dumb. They walk right over to you and say, \"gobble, gobble.\" Not smart. That may be where we got the idea. Thanksgiving is also the anniversary of the \"Men Are Saints\" appeal. It\'s all here in this podcast.

A Dirty Dog
no
Now, I realize that what I am about to say will put me high up on your list of surly, soulless, scoundrels. But I don\'t want a dog in my life right now. I also realize that it is statements like that which cause a great many, mostly unnecessarily fatal fights between men and women. And I understand that one of the, things my Lady Wonder Wench is thinking now is, \"If I throw a stick will he run after it...and just keep running ?\" My buddy Al and his wife have a dog they named Ike. They treat Ike like their child. My feeling is that I have had enough children. And besides, I fear that the mixing of human and dog DNA could well result in the creation of an animal, which, instead of barking, would look up at you and say, \"Let my people go.\" I can\'t help it. Right now, I want to be the only animal in Lady Wonder Wench\'s life. I know how to deal with this. A Gold fish.

Politics As Usual
no
\"Don\'t look back, they might be gaining on you.\" That\'s a quote from baseball\'s magnificent \"Satchel\" Paige. But I can\'t help looking back...in horror...at this past election\'s political television advertising. What kind of people do these pathetic politicians think we are? No matter what your political views might be, if you believed half of what the politician\'s commercials said about their opponents, you would want to pack your bags and sneak out of the country under cover of darkness to someplace safe, if those other guys won.

I Pod Man
no
I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room, and I must confess until I started recording this, I was sucking my thumb. I guess that\'s a little like hanging on to the blue blankie. The key pad on my new Ipod is not kind to Louie-Louie Generation guys with thick thumbs. In fact Ipods are not kind to Louie-Louie Generation guys period. And it\'s not just because you could call me \"Old Clumsy Thumbs.\" Ipods are also kind of a brain drain. Remember when companies gave you an instruction book when you bought something that was more complicated to use than just plug it in the wall, and turn the knob? The Ipod comes with a little tiny three page foldover instead. It says go to our website on the internet, and download the simple instructions. The simple instructions are 342 pages long. That\'s not simple instructions. I like looking at my Lady Wonder Wench. Because when she looks back, I don\'t see the reflection of some Ol Clumsy Thumbs guy with a major brain drain. I see her Louie-Louie lover. Me. And that Lady Wonder Wench smile, always seems like it\'s saying... \"hey hunk...why don\'t you come here and let me limber up your limbics.\"

My Mistress
no
It\'s coming clean time. I think every life should have some kind of real meaning. Including mine. Some people make a big mark on life. I\'ll be content with making just a small smudge. One of the fascinating stories that came out about the rescue of those miners in Chile, is that some of them had mistresses. (Oh my.) The media didn\'t talk about them much, because talking about mistresses could cause trouble. Mistresses are a little like Stepmothers. They don\'t get much respect. Which is bizarre, because they sometimes become Stepmothers. I think many mistresses are misunderstood, and very much under-respected. The Pious guys roll their eyes to heaven when I say that. \"Pious\" is an old Brooklyn word meaning \"full of pie.\" This podcast will explain my theory. (Every life should be examined one person at a time.) If you take what it says into your life, it will mean I\'ve made my little smudge.

The Dreadful Drones
no
I\'ve got to warn you about a group of people who are as close to useless as a BB gun during a rhino charge. And that\'s the Dreadful Drones. They are virtual people. They\'re not kids...they\'ve done the time that could qualify them for Louie-Louie-hood, but they\'ve totally missed the ‘tude. The Attitude. So they missed their opportunity. They never latched on to Louie-Louie hood. Big Louie claims that the only reasonable explanation for them is that during evolution, their ancestors were in the control group. A Dreadful Drone Dude, walks a couple of steps ahead of his Dreadful Drone Dude-ett...and he forgets that a dude should hold his dude-tte\'s hand, open the door for her, and talk to her every once in a while. He still chooses his breakfast cereal by what kind of toy is in the box. His idea of excitement is when the tv networks start their new fall season shows. His biggest ambition is becoming a tax accountant who has a loophole named after him. A Dreadful Drone Dude-tte thinks, \"don\'t ask, don\'t tell\" is a concept that applies to flatulating in a crowded elevator. Her professional ambitions are limited to becoming the secretary who has the desk nearest the copy machine. She\'s amazed to find that Polident isn\'t a beaten up parrot. If the Dreadful Drones were truly alive they\'d be very sick people.

Sent To The Shower
no
I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, black leather poppa chair, after a really tough day. Just popped the shoes. Don\'t know if I should put these socks in the laundry, or set fire to them. The way they smell may set off the fire alarm without any help from a match. I\'m really looking forward to taking a nice, hot, shower in a few minutes. Tough day. But a good day. I got stuff done. Getting things done feels good. It makes you feel like you\'re in control. There\'s not a lot of that in control feeling around these days. You get out on the road and people are driving at speeds ranging from sonic boom to car wash...and all you want to do is get to work. You\'ve got to be cunning to survive. Of course, Big Louie, his own bad self, the Chief Mustard Cutter of the Louie-Louie Generation has been around long enough to give us advice on surviving in today\'s traffic. For example, Louie says, \"Never pass a driver who\'s on a cell phone. Wait till he creams the truck ahead of him, then pass briskly on whichever side has less debris.\"

Takin' One For The Team
no
Team work is important to guys. Team work. We help each other. We often even put aside our differences to help each other win the most important challenge we all face...which is convincing Louie-Louie Ladies that we lust lovingly, care completely, and protect passionately. Especially that first part. We cooperate with each other when we can. Of course, sometimes we can\'t. It\'s trickey. There are limits to team work. Mostly those limits have to do with ladies. We\'ve learned that from history. We\'ve learned for example about two famous pre-Louie-Louie Generation guys...one from Sparta and the other from Troy. They got into this huge fight over a pre-Louie-Louie Lady named Helen. Helen must have been hot. It\'s said she had a face that launched a thousand ships...so you can imagine what the rest of her must have looked like. So these two guys and their buddies really went at it...whacking away at each-other. But it seems that nothing could stop the powerful Spartan navy. And pretty soon, what seemed like millions of little Spartan seamen burst through the Trojan defenses...and well...you\'ve lived... you know the kind of trouble that can develop from that.

Big Foot
no
I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, black leather pappa chair in my living room...just took off my shoes...ohhh that feels so good. It\'s like sneezing three times in a row, or long fingernails scratching your back, a long...warm shower...releasing a belch that starts right behind your navel, or let\'s be honest...there are few feelings as fine as the release of your personal fragrance of a combustible nature. From the time I get up in the morning, I look forward to the instant that my shoes come off at night. The smart guys in the white lab coats claim that depression, and irritability tend to be among the causes of flat feet. Seems to me that the frequent flapping of flat feet might be one of the causes of depression and irritability. And boy are my feet flat. And big. Very uncomfortable when I put them into my mouth...which...given what I have done for a living all my life...is frequently. I really do have big feet. For a guy my size. I used to be 5-11. Probably closer to 5-10 now. Louie-Louie Generation Guys do get worn down...in part from the pressures of taking good care of our Louie-Louie ladies. And we do take care of them. Ask my Lady Wonder Wench. She now sometimes says \"Size isn\'t every thing.\" And I like the way she purrs when she says it.

Stealth Stuff
no
Sealth stuff sneaks in under your radar. That\'s why it\'s called stealth stuff. Stealth stuff sprouts on smooth flat surfaces...like tables...the tops of dressers...and kitchen counters. Yesterday, when I got back from the store with my nifty new all frequency desk lamp that will give me healthy virtual sunlight during the darker months, my new wi-fi transmitter that will let me use my lap top anywhere within a five mile radius, and my new ten terrabite external hard drive made in China and assembled in Tailand...my stealth stuff signal finally went off...alerting me to the startling scope of the danger I face from the rapidly accelerating level of stealth stuff that has...evidently...for years been stalking me. Sneaking up on me. But it may be too late. I work at my day job in my home office. But that deadly stealth stuff has now completely covered my desk...so where am I going to put the brand new stuff I just bought? The nifty all frequency desk lamp that will give me healthy virtual sunlight during the darker months, the new wi-fi transmitter that lets me use my laptop halfway to the next town, and the ten terrabite external hard drive made in China and assembled in Tailand. I found myself standing there yesterday, looking at where I last remembered seeing my desk...with the stuff I just bought in my hands...then... I heard the phone, and it took me ten rings to find it...covered...no, buried... under huge heaps of sinister, stealthy stuff.

A New Blazer
no
As I sit here in my big, comfortable, black leather poppa chair, her words swirl around in my head, and tug at the sides of my mouth...and I\'m trying hard not to smile. Smugly. Nobody likes a smug smile...except maybe the smug smiler. Now...I\'m pretty sure my Lady Wonder Wench is watching. The woman was a sales lady, and she said, \"My what a nice body.\" And she was talking about me. And my Lady Wonder Wench was standing right there. And Lady Wonder Wench is sitting on the couch right across the room from me right now, and from the expression on her face I know she knows what I\'m thinking. And she\'s thinking, \"The woman didn\'t mean it, she\'s a sales person.\" And I\'m thinking \"Yes she did. But I know from experience I better not smile. Because I know Lady Wonder Wench will roll her eyes, sigh, and put her hand on her hip again. I mentioned the other day that I was going to wear my gold lame loin cloth and purple ostrich feather for my dinner date last Friday with Lady Wonder Wench. I saw it start her thinking process...which went something like this: \"He really hasn\'t bought any clothes since the Clinton administration. I\'m going to clear out his closet.\" The thing most women including my Lady Wonder Wench don\'t really understand is that it takes time for a guy to break in his clothing so it\'s comfortable. Even Louie-Louie Generation ladies don\'t seem to understand that. A guy\'s jacket is just getting broken in after a decade or so. As long as I can still zip up a pair of Jeans, they\'re good to go. A guy wears a shirt for three or four days...as long as it passes the under the arms sniff test, what\'s wrong with wearing it one more day?

Cry Me A Podcast
no
Who ever did the original design for human beings gave us tears for a reason. They\'re safety valves. Most women understand that and they\'re smart enough, and brave enough, to cry when the pressure inside is threatening to pop something important in their hearts. Most guys are neither smart enough nor brave enough to cry because most guys are afraid the other guys will laugh at them. That\'s a big reason that more men than women have heart attacks. When you\'re hurting inside, you\'re supposed to cry. If you don\'t you\'re working against your own chemicals. Big Louie, his own bad self, the Chief Mustard Cutter of the Louie-Louie Generation says, \"There are things you shouldn\'t fake. Don\'t fake driving a stick shift car, don\'t fake flying an airplane, don\'t fake doing electrical work, don\'t fake delivering a baby, and when you feel like crying...don\'t fake a smile.\"

All you have to do is send an email to dick@dicksummer.com, and say...sure send me Night Connections 3...for free. That\'s it. No strings. No obligations. No kidding. These are some stories that I really wanted to record. Most of the Night Connections stories were started in my head by things that phone callers told me when I was on the air in the middle of the night. They had nothing to lose by telling me what they were doing, and maybe they had something to gain getting things off their chests. They were laughing, and crying, and loving, and leaving...betraying each other and earning each other\'s trust. You can almost smell the middle of the night sweat and perfume in these stories...and the beer...and the fear.

I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room, recovering from the shock of the results of a certain look on our daughter Kristin\'s face. Her expression is well known in the family. Her left eyebrow goes up, she smiles a quick little tight smile, and her nose twitches. She\'s done that ever since she was an infant. It\'s a signal that she\'s going to make something happen. Kris is a biker chick, a lacy lady, a blue jeans babe, a proud mother of three great kids, and a talented artist. She\'s the kind of daughter who makes a guy hope he really is something like she thinks he is. And she\'s my Lady Wonder Wench\'s best friend.

But like anybody else, except with your oh so very koolest guys. That\'s kool with a k. I sometimes get frazzled and furious. I have at times started fist fights. And I have been known to leak suspiciously around the eyes at sad movies, or moving music. Very un-kool. And I don\'t care if you know it. So...an email just came in from proud podcast participant Betsy Kemp. Betsy says, \"This is no good. We need to keep our quarterback nice and mellow.\" Betsy, I am usually a mellow fellow. I like being that kind of cool. But I don\'t spell it with a K. See... I also like being hot. Getting hot has gotten me into a lot of trouble in my life. It\'s left me with scars from fights, and scars from love affairs, and it\'s gotten me fired from radio stations, and damn near got me killed a couple of times trying to do some things...some crazy things...that simply couldn\'t be done...not by me at least. But you know what? It\'s worth it. It\'s definitely worth it. Heat is neat.

You\'ve heard that \"Time flies when you\'re having fun?\" Well time also flies when you drop your clock. I\'m sitting here in my big, comfortable, black leather Pappa chair, with time on my hands. Sort of. Actually...I have pieces of my living room clock...which I dropped...in my hands. It looks like the clock is dead...it\'s just a bunch of little pieces on the floor. I was trying to set it to pick up the signal from some Godforsaken transmitter in the mountains of Colorado...which the government uses to keep clocks like this accurate. I don\'t know much about Colorado, except that the time coordination transmitter is there, and expensive people go to Aspen to mate. My Lady Wonder Wench and I went to Colorado once so she could buy a horse. I was never clear as to why when we live in Pennsylvania, she had to go to Colorado to buy a horse. Have you any idea how many Pennsylvania horses must have looked up at our plane and felt rejected. Guy horses must have a very high rejection rate when you think about it...because they\'re almost always gelded...which eliminates them from most of your sexier filly\'s top ten horsing around lists. As a Louie-Louie Generation guy, I don\'t like the sound of the word gelded. Vasectomy is a much more manly term.

Doin' What Comes Naturally
no
It is so...comfortable, sitting here in my big, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room. I guess part of it is that as a Louie-Louie Generation guy, I\'m past the age where I always have to prove that I\'m just as good as I never was. Louie-Louie Generation guys are comfortable. We know that \"He who dies with the most toys wins.\" But on the other hand, we also know that he doesn\'t get to play with them, because he\'s dead. The Pimple People haven\'t figured that out yet. They\'re not comfortable. They\'re always scrambling trying to catch up with us. Big Louie, his own bad self, has a statement for the Pimple People. He says, \"Pimple People of the world, you shall indeed inherit the earth...after we\'re done with it.\" I\'m always amazed at how un-comfortable Pimple People guys are. This is no kidding. You can\'t make this up. There is a National Coalition for Men. Their stated goal is to \"Help emotionally adrift men.\" They deal with big deal problems like should a man open a door for a woman? Should he talk about his feelings? And most amazing of all is their top topic: What is the role of the male in this increasingly complex society? Louie-Louie Generation guys have a very simple answer to all those Pimple People Problems. Big Louie, his own bad self says, \"Just don\'t hurt anybody, and do what\'s comfortable for yourself.\" That ought to do it.

The Masked Man
no
Tonight, I\'m the masked man...sitting here in my big, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in my living room. The mask probably isn\'t important. You probably wouldn\'t recognize me anyway without my blue leotard and red cape, with the big L for Louie on the back. If you\'re new to this podcast, this is about life for the Louie-Louie Generation...lads and ladies for whom that song has been a big part of the background of our lives. It\'s not just about age. It\'s actually mostly about \'tude. Attitude. We\'ve got it. We don\'t age. We ferment instead. I\'m hiding my face from Face Book. And not only am I not a Face Book friend, I am a twitter quitter, and painful as it may sound, I\'ve lopped off my link at linkedin. I\'m not anti-social. I just think some people take the word \"friend\" kinda lightly. Or maybe I take it too seriously. But I really love my friends. I don\'t have very many of them, and you know who you are. You have my email address and my phone number. You can get in touch with me any time you feel like it. You know I look forward to hearing from you. And you don\'t even have to call before you drop in. But just because I met someone in the supermarket check out doesn\'t mean that person is my friend, regardless of how the Face Book folks see it. We all have to perform the \"How are you,\"\"Have a nice day.\"\"Let\'s get together sometime soon\" supermarket check out act sometimes. It\'s ok. But I don\'t want to perform all the time.

Watch Out For The Black Hole!
no
I\'m looking at a dangerous new 32 inch wide flat screen hole in my living room and in fact in my life and yours. You can disappear down that hole... and boldly go... nowhere. And lots of people do. As you may have figured out, I had to replace an almost perfectly good twenty some odd year old TV set before its time. I wanted to wait till I could afford a new 3d TV, so I could watch Catherine Zeta Jones movies the way they were intended to be seen. Through slightly steamed up glasses. But my trusty old Zenith was driving me nuts with the closed captioning which it decided to turn on all by itself, and I couldn\'t turn it off... without the original changer, which has long since joined the original rabbit ears in Howdy Doody Heaven. And I didn\'t want to hear what most of the tv people were saying the first time around, without having to read it fifteen seconds later, in a voice recognition printout that has switched the language to the Klingon setting. A long time ago, when the kids were little, I always wished there were an early morning kids show called, \"Let\'s Go Back To Bed And Sleep A Little Longer.\" It would be a puppet show like Howdy Doody. The Howdy puppet would say things like, \"My it\'s early.\" Then he\'d yawn and say \"I\'m still tired. Let\'s all lie down and be very quiet till about 8 Am.\" I think it would have been a smash hit with daddies. And that\'s where the commercial money is. But only until daddies hit 49 years old.

But I\'m better off, because of the fingerprints on the carpet.

We can watch an endless array of human dramas play out there behind the beets...if we don\'t let the lettuce get us.

Glasses Guy
no
Some days you\'re the bird, and some days you\'re the statue. I\'ve been Lawn Tractor Man, Life Guard, Pilot, Late Night Radio DJ, Hunky Husband, Dad, and lots of names I won\'t mention. But now...I\'m Glasses Guy. This is new for me. It\'s going to take some getting used to. I started thinking, why couldn\'t this work around the other way. Instead of starting to have trouble seeing, why couldn\'t I start being hard to see...like becoming invisible. Try thinking about those possibilities without getting a smile on your face that lasts for at least three weeks.

Attitude
no
I don\'t mind people looking at me and saying, \"He\'s getting older.\" But I don\'t ever want people to look at me and say, \"He\'s getting old.\" The difference is Attitude. Louie-Louie Generation Guys and Dolls are riding our exercise bikes, while our kids are driving cars. No question...things are changing. But unless you\'re sitting in your rocking chair, but can\'t make it go, or you get winded playing chess, you don\'t have to get old. But it takes more than just wishing. It takes attitude. And by the way, be careful what you wish for. You might get it. Like I did. Listen.

no
What\'s a Louie - Louie Generation guy supposed to do when he needs a back scratch, but Catherine Zeta Jones is off doing a movie? Who\'s going to go and get him something cold from the fridge when an overwhelming thirst for something cold strikes but Angelina Jolie is having a night out with the girls? Here are some of the answers to burning questions like that. You will experience the solo pleasures of the Retro Rub. Writhe with pleasure with a thorough Scalping.

Actually, this is our third anniversary plus a month. I promised to tell you about the top five podcast downloads of the year at each of our anniversaries, so I guess it\'s better late than never. One important observation for you guys from Big Louie, his own bad self... the Chief Mustard Cutter of the Louie-Louie Generation this week: \"Sex is better than cutting the lawn, no matter what your wife tells you.\"

Elbow Grease can make you the King Of The Road. Just roll down your car window, and stick your left elbow out there into the sunshine. You\'ll have an instant, \"Beam me up Scotty\" moment.

Google lurks somewhere down deep inside your computer. And it knows everything. It\'s like the wise guy who sits on the mountain top and tells you the true meaning of life...or that little voice inside that when you screw up keeps saying...\"I Told You So.\" So, I\'m giving my \"little voice inside\" a name. It\'s kinda like Google. So I\'m calling it Giggle. You have a Giggle too. And I\'ll bet you find your Giggle in here...just waiting to say, \"I Told You So.\"

Dead Fish And Dentists
no
When you walk into a dentist\'s waiting room, knowing that in a few minutes he\'s going to insert a three foot long needle into your mouth, one of the last things you want to see is a dead goldfish floating at the top of his fish tank. But that\'s not quite as bad as walking into a waiting room full of sick, bleeding, and semi-dead people at a doctor\'s office, and finding a BIBLE ! Even worse is coming home and hitting the blinking light on your voice mail, and hearing something like the Personal Audio in this week\'s Good-Night Podcast.

You could get used to taking vacations. Some people like to go on cruises. Others like to climb mountains. A few go white water rafting. I went to Florida...and almost became an orange. It was wonderful. Got me thinking about my fifth grade summer vacation. Guys had completely different fifth grade vacations from girls. Trust me.

The Bug Squad
no
I think as far as women are concerned, guys are mostly like big dogs who can talk. They have a point. We like to curl up in bed with them, we like to lick them, and we tend to be very messy. But I think that deep down, women have a hunch they could get along quite nicely without us. Somebody once said, \"A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.\" Well... maybe so. But on the other hand... what would women do without us when a big ugly bug lands on your kitchen table ? Huh ?

Honey's Buns
no
It is easy to become an expert at resting. However, that does not do wonders for certain physical attributes... especially your buns. And women are big believers in beautiful buns. This is the stirring story of how one Louie-Louie Generation Guy came to grips... so to speak... with his decreasing impact on beautiful women due to his decaying buns. If this has not yet happened to you... it will.

I love you are only three words that get more attention than Once Upon A Time. Those three words make you want to curl up in front of a fireplace, light a few candles, put on some nice music...maybe a little wine...and close your eyes so you can enjoy what comes next. We have three stories for you this time. A story about a love that\'s dying...another about an old, hot, Louie-Louie Generation love... and a story that ties them together.

Auto Cannibalism
no
Auto Cannibalism is a condition that happens mostly to Louie-Louie Generation guys. Auto Cannibalism is when you bite your own tongue. When Auto Cannibalism strikes, your fingers get stiff, and then spasm back till they hit your knuckles.. you grind very naughty words out between your clenched teeth, and your eyes bulge out like they did when you realized you left your wallet with your credit cards, your pay check, and all your Ids back at the supermarket counter. My Lady Wonder Wench has an explanation for why we do it. I\'ll buy her explanation if you\'ll buy mine.

The Here's Looking At You Kid
no
Once upon a time, there was a Pre-Louie-Louie Generation guy who was injured in a fight in the Navy. Maybe some guy took a swing at him because he had a funny name. The injury left him with a slight lisp. He had big ears too...and a big heart. Not exactly the makings of a career as a movie star. But that\'s what he was. The biggest...for a long time. He played tough guys with big ears...and big hearts. In other words, he played himself. His name was Humphrey Bogart. Some younger Louie-Louie Generation folks may not remember him. The rest of us will never forget him. Especially on Valentine\'s Day. Especially for the role he played in an old black and white film called, \"Casablanca.\" He got it right in \"Casablanca.\" He looked at Ingrid Bergman, who was possibly the most beautiful woman in the world at the time...and he said, \"Here\'s looking at YOU kid.\" Bergman could fill the screen with just her eyes. And when he said that...she did. This is the story of a Valentine\'s Day dinner with my Lady Wonder Wench that I think Bogie and Bergman would have understood. Maybe you will too.

Check the headlines. \"These are the good old days ?\" Flash back to 1972 when the song was a hit. Watergate, Vietnam, The Munich Olympics. Some \"good old days.\" But maybe she was right then...and now...if we pay attention to the Speed Bumps.

There\'s a New Year\'s Surprise this time. A big one. Because what we have here is another new year. Another new beginning. I like new beginnings. Especially the small ones...the ones only you and maybe a very few other people share. If you\'re not careful, they can get drowned out in the every day noise of your life. One of the nice things about the night is that there\'s some quiet...a little room...a safe place to remember some of those small new beginnings again.

Men are Saints...and Turkeys
no
A man\'s brain swims in a sea of testosterone, which absorbs some of the shock of getting hit in the head by baseballs, Yanni\'s music, and excessively high levels of verbal communication. Preservatives stop germs and fungus from maturing. Therefore testosterone is an anti-maturing chemical. That\'s the only real explanation for the Men are Saints Campaign. Happy Thanksgiving Recovery.

Here\'s the difference: Nighttime is the playpen of earthly delights...it\'s full of the sound of delicately perfumed black lace hitting the floor...strange soft noises in the attic...and unlimited access to ALL the Oreos in the box.

Indiana Jones is the perfect Louie - Louie Generation guy. In the latest \"Crystal Skull\" movie, when the bad guys close in, he says, \"This used to be easier.\" Then he puts on his hat, grabs his whip, and starts to \"do it to it.\" The Perfect Louie-Louie Generation guy.

What's Next
no
Who Knows? Actually, Big Louie, His Own Bad Self, the Chief Mustard Cutter of the Louie-Louie Generation has a pretty good way to look at what\'s headed straight at us. You\'ll find out what he has to say, plus the solution to the Airline crisis, and the story of a young woman who knows when she\'s had...just enough.

Dreams
no
Big dreams make people beat their chests and holler \"WE\'RE NUMBER ONE ! WE\'RE NUMBER ONE !!\" Other dreams ...after a tough day... just put a small voice in the back of your head that says, \"Ok, try it again tomorrow.\" All kinds of dreams are good. Even the scary ones. But this is the story of the very best kind of dream.

Looking For A Doctor

I\'m genuinely trying to find a doctor, and maybe you can help. He\'s not one of those plastic surgeons who specialize in giving Louie-Louie Generation ladies faces that look like 3 d smiley faces. This guy is an emergency room doctor, and I really need to thank him.

The Princess and The Frog
no
\"Ribbit, Ribbit\" may be the greatest opening line ever. Once upon a time, a long time ago, a frog popped a fly breath mint into his mouth, hopped up on a pretty girl\'s lap, looked at her seductively and just said, \"Ribbit, Ribbit\"...and she gave him such a kiss...that he turned into a prince. Or at least that\'s what she told her mother the next morning when she found the guy in her bedroom. There are some other great opening lines this time, and a closer or two.

My Lady Wonder Wench Is Home
no
When Armstrong stepped onto the surface of the moon, he said, \"That\'s one small step for a man, and one giant leap for mankind.\" My Lady Wonder Wench took just one small step in the doorway this morning, and changed a big, dark, musty house into my home again.

The Sound Of Silence
no
\"Batching it\" sucks. But if you do it right, you can make do with only one fork and one cup. Tv dinners come with their own plastic throw away plate, and you can spread peanut butter and jelly with a fork. My Lady Wonder Wench will be in the hospital for a while. But the point is that she will be coming home eventually. Meantime, the words of Big Louie, his own bad self come to mind: \" Things won\'t be the way you remember them again, although that\'s what you might hope. Things are just what they are for a while, so be careful you don\'t slip on the soap.\" But the silence here since she\'s gone is hard to take.

Men are descended from apes. Women aren\'t. Leave a guy alone long enough and he gets ugly, hairy and nasty. Women don\'t. Where did we get women. For the first time since all those years ago when I first hung my old pair of jeans next to hers on the hook on back of the bedroom door we won\'t be sleeping together tonight. On purpose. And it\'s making my teeth ache.

Dr. Drillgrinder

Louie-Louie Generation guys can spot a BS artist, and jump start a car, and start a good fire in a fireplace. But getting some guys to just ... talk...to a woman...is like pulling teeth. But that\'s Dr. Toothgrinder\'s job. I had to go see him today...even though Big Louie, his own bad self always says...\"If you don\'t want to sweat going to the dentist, but your teeth are turning yellow...just wear a brown shirt.\" Why did I go? Lust. Here\'s the story.

I don\'t know if the problem was caused by how late the surprise party has been getting...or if it was just the pretty girl in the short shorts and tight tank top that was causing the problem...take your pick. But the solution...at least for now...was in the five words, written with a felt pen on the back edge of a flag...by a buddy who listened to these podcasts...in Iraq.

no
If you live in an apartment with thin walls, you might have heard somebody shouting \"Oh my God yes...\" in the middle of the night...and it didn\'t sound exactly like a prayer. If so, you can be pretty sure somebody has opened the cage and let her little beastie out to play. This is how \"Big Louie...his own bad self\" says you should deal with your little beastie when times get tough.

Louie - Louie Generation Guys are the bedmates of choice for super models, movie stars and smart beautiful women of all kinds because of our charm, poise and grace...and because some of us have a little money.

Questions
no
There are questions like Who is God...and even who are you ? I have no clue. I can\'t even figure out why the windshield wiper on the driver\'s side always wears out before the one on the other side. And how come some women raise one foot when they kiss? Even the connection between sticking your tongue out and concentrating escapes me. I\'ve come to the conclusion that maybe some questions don\'t really need an answer...and some answers don\'t need questions.

Fantasy is the difference between a woman wearing underwear and a lady wearing lingerie. Fantasies are sexy. \"Sister Mary Knuckle Buster\" probably won\'t like this, but in this podcast...you will be exposed (as it were) to one of the innermost fantasies of this Brooklyn kid.

You\'ll learn about Brooklyn fertility rites. You\'ll learn about Wolfman Jack on WNBC and Cousin Brucie (Morrow) on WABC. Life in New York can be a dog eat dog experience.

Little Things Mean A Lot
no
Crayons are an example of little things that mean a lot. They\'ve been around since the 1930s. So you have to figure all of today\'s big shots must have played with them as kids. President Bush, the Pope, Mucktada whatever his name is...all of them. Can\'t you see them as little kids...scribbling like mad in their coloring books...then running over to their mommies to show the results ? This time, we take a look at other things that mean a lot...including the one little thing that means...more than anything else in the world.

Baseball Babe
no
This is about the day when my Lady Wonder Wench turned into my Baseball Babe. It has to do with being stubborn, her brother Bob, and the Star Spangled Banner. It\'s also about an encounter with a nun sliding into second base brandishing a rosary with a 20 pound crucifix on it...then feeling guilty...so she went back to first...and the reason why no women will ever play major league baseball. In shore...here\'s one to offend everybody.

Mr. Manners
no
My Lady Wonder Wench is trying to improve my table manners. Frustrating. She says I should be more communicative, but then she asks me a question when I have half a hamburger in my mouth, and she tells me I shouldn\'t talk with my mouth full. I like the words of Big Louie...his own bad self: \"Tis better to burp and bear the shame, than not to burp and bear the pain.\" But it\'s when I pick my teeth that I get the ultimate sarcastic comment...the sarcasm equivalent of the raised center finger...one raised eyebrow...and silence. It\'s awful.

Sleeping Together
no
It\'s a big thing when a woman trusts a man to feel safe and comfortable enough to sleep with him. The sleeping part I mean. Trust is a big thing. I think homeless people must be terrified when they have to go to sleep alone on the street. It can be a nasty world out there. This is about watching my Lady Wonder Wench sleep... comfortably. And about chasing my alarm clock around the room and smashing it against the wall, while I\'m snarling something like, \"don\'t tell me what to do buddy\" at it.

Wonder Wench & The Car
no
Wonder Wench has stood by me through all kids to tough stuff. But she turns on me when I\'m driving. One or two wheels come up off the ground going around a corner, and she shrieks. Bump up on the sidewalk to avoid a red light, and she hollers, \"Watch Out.\" Scares the hell out of a guy.

Birthdays sneak up on you like a bug sneaks up on a windshield. My kids are now older than I think I am. This episode includes my new grandparent\'s prayer: \"Dear Lord, please keep your arm around my kid\'s shoulder, and your hand over my mouth.\" And you get a shot at the new Summer Stumper: What is it without which an airplane cannot fly, but which is of no value to the airplane ?\" And most important, a few words from Kris, that make another birthday...ok.

We are way too busy. Here\'s the solution. Pick one day of the week, and make it your DON\'T DO WHAT YOU DON\'T WANNA DO DAY (do wah, doo waahh.) On your D.D.W.Y.D.W.D.D. if someone says, \"You\'ve got to cut the lawn\" just smile and say (do wah, doo waahh.) If somebody says \"stick to your diet\" on your D.D.W.Y.D.W.D.D. just say, \"Eating is good for the farmers.\" The main reason many of you women are not married to George Clooney is because you didn\'t pay attention to your D.D.W.Y.D.W.D.D.

no
Bogart got it right in \"Casablanca.\" \"Here\'s looking at you kid,\" he said. He didn\'t say, \"Hey, look at my bankroll,\" or \"Let me prove I don\'t need Viagra baby.\" He looked at Ingrid Bergman, who was possibly the most beautiful woman in the world at the time, and he just said...\"here\'s looking at YOU\"...and the screen was instantly full of her eyes. This is the story of a Valentine Day dinner with my Lady Wonder Wench, that I think Bogie and Bergman would have understood.

I have a soft living room carpet, because I like to walk around in bare feet...which leaves footprints. I do my daily pushups on the carpet, which leaves handprints.

She\'s my brand new car... glinting gun metal grey in my driveway. She doesn\'t pull high \"G\"s leaving long trails of smoking tires and fiery exhaust...but she does go from zero to sixty in the same day...and legend has it she gets forty miles per gallon on the highway...which means she may get to replace my little blue blankie when it\'s check book time.

Looking For Christmas is what we do now...together. It makes us feel good...even after all this time.

Christmas Is THE One Hit Wonder
no
\"Holly Jolly Christmas\" is wonderful. So\'s Winter Wonderland. Jingle Bells rocks the cash registers every year. But the biggest Christmas hit of all time is a song composed by two guys nobody ever heard from...before...or after. Lots of people thought it was composed by Beethoven, or Brahms...it\'s so beautiful. It sings the spirt of the season with grace, and beauty, and peace. How would you like to have the only song you ever wrote, become one of the most cherished songs ever written. That\'s the story of Silent Night.

Men Are Saints... and Turkeys
no
A guy\'s brain swims in a sea of testosterone, which absorbs some of the shock of getting hit in the head by baseballs, Yanni\'s music, and high levels of excess verbal communication. Preservatives stop germs and fungus from maturing. Therefore testosterone is an anti maturing chemical. That\'s the only real explanation for the MEN ARE SAINTS campaign. Happy Thanksgiving.

Mano-a-Mouse-o
no
I knew that if I hoped to ever have my Lady Wonder Wench climb down from on top of her dresser, I was going to have to face the beast. I was going to have to go mano a mouse-o. It was an epic struggle, but I eventually won. Sort of. He was about 3 ounces and three inches. I\'m about 180 and 5 feet 10. In the end, he had guts. In the end, I had poison. He was jumping ten times his body size. I was falling on my fanny. I prevailed. But he did good.

Commercial Considerations
no
Some tv commercials snarl at you...others cream...some croon, \"Trust Me.\" I\'ve done my share of them...like the commercials for the original panty hose that came in the plastic egg... and the \"Cross Your Heart\" bras...those were interesting recording sessions. We have commercials for \"erectile dysfunction\" now...but how come we don\'t have any for condoms ? I thought we were supposed to be \"fair and ballanced.\" Then there\'s that George Clooney stuff...it\'s all here.

A waitress told me a wonderful thing yesterday. She said \"You look borderline like Sean Connerly.\" Actually, I look more like borderline Harrison Ford...I think.

Louie-Louie Generation guys and girls could have a huge, national \"Middle Of The Night Wandering Around\" convention. It just kinda sneaks up on you an inch at a time.

Just because I now have grey hair, my chest has slipped a little, and when I fly my plane I have to stop and think which is the lever that puts the wheels down, and which is the one that stops the engine... that\'s no reason for the recently hatched embryo with a backwards baseball cap and a tasteful assortment of pimples and nose rings to call me an \"Old Man.\" Here\'s what I did about it.

We now have scientific evidence that drooling over a beautiful busty babe for 10 minutes every day is as good as a 30 minute aerobic workout for lowering blood pressure, cutting the risk of a heart attack in half, and improving the quality of life by zillions. The information in this podcast can actually add five wonderful years to a guy\'s life. Some heard hearted wives/girlfriends will not want their partners to know about this.

Soft Summer Rain

Hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, heatwaves and ice storms get all the press. But it&s the soft, late summer rains, that make the holy water and mixed drinks of our lives. They calm us down better than any purple pill. They wash the air, and dissolve our inhibitions. Many a \"relaxing moment\" has been turned into a \"right moment\" in a soft late summer rain.

I have a picture of W.Wench taken in the Times Square subway station. I showed it to Steve, who owns the place...and he said let me put it on the wall...right next to Marilyn. I said GREAT ! W.Wench said...well...listen to the podcast...but I\'ll give you a clue...ask any woman you know how she\'d like to have her picture on a wall right next to Marilyn Monroe.

The Klunker

Never confuse a klunker with a junker. That goes for both cars and people. I drive a klunker...because I like it. It\'s like a mutt. You can park it anywhere, and not worry about getting it scratched...or stolen. If you come to a four way stop sign at the same time as a new Corvette, the guy in the klunker always goes first...we have less to lose. \"Big Louie\" always says, \"There\'s a big difference between a klunker and a junker. A klunker is always worth...something\"...that goes for cars...and people.

Precocious Ab Deflation
no
I found that I am suffering from \"Precocious Ab Deflation.\" That\'s a highly technical term. It comes from the ancient Latin word \"Pre\" which means before...as in \"pre-marital sex.\" \"Cocious\" is from the ancient Brooklyn word \"cocious,\" which means \"wise person\"...as in \"every winning team has a staff of wise cocious.\" So \"Precocious\" means what happens to you before you have a chance to get wise to what\'s happening. But I\'m ok, because just in time...the Lone Ranger came to the rescue.

Everybody needs a trophy...a prize for a lifetime of hard work. \"Trophy\" is from the ancient Brooklyn word \"Tro\", meaning to hurl an object... as in \"I tro a baseball pretty hard.\" Fee is the Bar Association word meaning money. \"Trophy\" therefore means something at which I throw money. My trophy is my little airplane. And the boogie man is trying to take it from me. Some memories, some hopes, and one big fear this time.

Serious Problems and Jelly Beans
no
Serious New Year\'s Resolution this year is: \"Crush Cynicism\". Easier said than done these days. It seems that no matter how cynical you get, you can\'t keep up. So I\'m not keeping up at all. My little 8 year old next door neighbor Emily, with her giggles and jelly beans, made me remember that the best way to solve a serious problem is with a silly solution. Try it. It worked for me.

New Hope for the Louie Louie Generation
no
Before there were discos, there were record hops. If you can remember record hops, you are a member of the Louie Louie generation. Louie Louie was the perfect guy dance. No complicated dance steps, and \"the word\" was that the words were \"dirty\" although nobody could really understand them. It was before political correctness, so it was ok to be dirty. If you are a member of the Louie Louie generation, you may need a daily minimum adult doseage of hope. Try this one.

The Birthday Suit Party and the Head Hunter
no
This is a good argument for naked government. Research by Yale University Seniors has shown that when people hang around together in the nude, their conversation becomes \"serious and philosophical.\" What a way to make Congress get serious and philosophical...Teddy Kennedy in the nude on the 6:30 PM network news. Just be careful of the concept on the beach on a soft summer night.

Keep Clapping Hands For Tinkerbelle
no
This is about Tinkerbell\'s tragic magic. Tink was in love with Peter Pan, even though society wasn\'t up for human-fairy marriages. She knew Wendy was going to win in the end. But she LOVED Mr. Pan. So she gave him her magic anyway. She just loved him. Tink was magic, but she needed us to clap for her to show that we believe, or she\'d die. You\'ve got to see Pulling-the-rabbit-out-of-the-hat magic to believe it. But you\'ve got to first believe in Tink\'s kind of magic to see it. Tink\'s kind of magic is what can keep love going, even when we\'re a few weeks past the springtime of our lives. This is about clapping hands for Tinkerbelle...and keeping magic alive.

Introducing you to a voice that will never shut up.

Ask people if they\'ve got \"The Christmas Spirit\", and some people say \"Bah Humbug\". Lots of people say \"ho, ho, ho\". Most people just say \"Happy Holidays\". And of course, a few people just say \"Huh?\" I don\'t find The Christmas Spirit in religion, presents, stories, poems nor even in music. A lot of people don\'t believe in it. I do. I\'ve felt it. And I\'ve seen it. Here\'s where I\'ll go looking for it again this year.

Just a tiny clump of hair sets off a shriek heard from here to Labrador. A tale of lurking intrigue and falling down laughing at a major US Airport. And the Number One, El Supremo, Top Pick To Click cut from the Personal Audio Cds as reported by CDBABY.com - a story about a guy pretending he wasn\'t watching as the lady who used to be his wife crosses a downtown street, leaving him with a question that he\'ll probably never be able to answer.

Eyebrows and Fingertips
no
There are many parts of his body that a guy simply can\'t control, in times of great stress. Besides the parts that people with dirty-happy minds will immediately identify, there are also eyebrows and fingertips. This PodProgrm gives the science fiction explanation for that phenomenon, and explains what Humphrey Bogart and Tom Cruise seem to have done about it that us ordinary guys can\'t seem to master. And there\'s a story from the Quiet Hands cd that goes right along with the flow.

Taking time off from the Super Intercontinental Plastic Potato Pop Gun wars for lots of calls with your reaction to the questions about \"stayin\' faithful\" from both the \"Love Comes When You Least Expect It\" story cd, and from your own lives. Why do men stray? What\'s it like being \"The Other Woman?\" \"Is The Other Woman just, cheap?\" And my own reaction to the idea that the pilot is just an ordinary dirty dog. Plus \"Dick\'s Details\" to take your mind off your mind, so you can nod off to sleep. Did you know that Moses stuttered? Bet nobody laughed.

Two suburban backyard war lords, Randy and I, face off with Intercontinental Ballistic Plastic Potatos, and the powerful Pop Guns to deliver them. Star Wars de-fence is semi successful, and Bill the Mailman loses his cigar. An honest confession as to why these PodPrograms are about such little things.

A trip back to bell bottoms, beads, and the late, great,1960s. If you can remember where Puff the Magic Dragon lives (by the sea), you\'ll remember Peter Paul and Mary and the land of Hona Lee. This is about a concert, and a knock on the side of the head lesson about respecting yourself, and whatever you stand for. It helps if, in the process, somebody gives you a rose.

Growing Up With The Truth

Growing up can hurt. So can telling the truth. That\'s why some of us do neither. Mostly we are guys. I cannot tell a lie, the kid next door swiped my Bazooka toy, and I want it back. But she\'s 5 and I\'m not going over there and knocking on her door, and saying \"I want my toy back\". Life is hard when faced with growing up. There\'s a story in this PodProgram about what I\'m (honestly) trying to do about it. Honest !

Barry Manilow, Pat Cooper and a cast of thousands of my friends star in this episode of Good Night. Well, hundreds of my friends. Ok, all my friends. I call it Mouth vs. Ear I Miss You. Mouth vs. Ear was a quiz show. Sort of. My friends and I were the Mouth, and we always won because we cheated. The listeners were the Ear, and they always lost because we cheated. Pat Cooper was our in studio guest at NBC Radio\'s New York FM station, WYNY. Barry Manilow was a regular caller. Pat won and Barry lost...because we cheated. I Miss You is a story from the Lovin Touch Personal Audio CD. When you listen, you\'ll understand why it\'s appropriate for this podprogram.

The Glass Wall
no
I thought I must have gone blind, or maybe it was that my eye glass prescription suddenly ran out. It was a shocker. Most of us eventually turn to flab. When that happens to our vision, we need glasses. Then it becomes a matter of balancing our need to see, with our need to look good. But nice things happen when you get the balance right, as the man and woman in the Bedtime Story called \"Second Chance\" will tell you.

As a PodProgram listener from China found, the same thing happens with relationships. Don\'t say we didn\'t warn you. Sometimes magic is your best defense. So we\'re giving you some magic fingers from the Quiet Hands.

A first hand play by play account of an actual Non Cosmetic Shonz-ectomy this time.
