Going full geek out mode today talking about arguably my favorite movie from the 80’s, if not my favorite film franchise of all-time, “Back to the Future,” with Brad Gilmore, a radio host and author of #1 selling recent release, “Back From the Future: A Celebration of the Greatest Time Travel Story Ever Told.” So much fun to completely nerd out for an hour on this week’s podcast with Brad, who I was introduced to by friend podcast guest, Jenn Decker. Brad is a super fan like myself, even having a “Back to the Future” podcast, and he tackles the movie from a lot of different angles. If you’re a casual fan of the movie (since it’s on cable a lot and you’ve probably come across it numerous times) I guarantee you’ll learn stuff about the movie today you’ve never heard before. You’ll hear theories, you’ll hear a plot point that’s always grinded my gears over the years, you’ll hear some of the actors and actresses who were … Continue reading →

So glad to finally get comedian Nikki Glaser on the podcast this week. Been a long time coming. One of my all-time favorite comedians. Seen her three times live now, and I’m sure I’ll see her again at some point. Really a fan of her work, and have watched her career grow over the last 5 years to get to the point where she’s at now. Being a huge stand up fan, it’s always neat to catch someone somewhat early on in their career, then see them get more and more gigs and blow up to where they are doing only theater stand up, which is the level you wanna get to as a comedian. And right before the quarantine, Nikki had just started that. She’s an incredibly busy woman as she has so many projects on the table as you’ll hear. I could only get her for a half hour this week, but I wasn’t gonna pass that up. Is her comedy for everyone? No. But comedy … Continue reading →

A very fun talk today with one of my favorites from the franchise. Very little “Bachelor” talk as since Emily O’Brien is an epidemiologist, it made much more sense to talk about COVID-19 with her. Even back when her season aired with Ben Flajnik in 2012, Emily has never done a podcast before. So interesting getting a medical perspective on the virus from someone who studies this for a living. We spend a good hour on the virus itself as I try to get every basic question a lot of people have about this thing along with hitting on the stuff I know people wanna know about. Also, Emily is currently involved in a project that’s very helpful to people working in the frontline of this thing, as she is studying the impact of COVID-19 on health care workers. Emotional distress, anxiety, etc. They want to help understand the impact this virus is having on health care workers over time. So if you are one of these people, … Continue reading →
