Simple Things (MM #5128)

As some say, when feeling nostalgic, happiness comes from very basic and simple things. And while I understand the sentiment, that’s hard to fathom in our world today. Is anything simple today?

Remove The Keys (MM #5127)

Honestly, there are some things I’ll never understand. Why do people leave their keys in the car? How hard is it to remove the keys? I lived in small towns when I was younger. Even back then, people locked their homes and vehicles’ doors. But even in 2025, some people in cities like Nashville still…

Free Concessions (MM #5126)

People often say there’s a big difference between watching the game in person and watching it on TV.

Headphones (MM #5121)

Throughout life, we often become attached to silly things. After all of my years in radio, I find myself attached to the headphones I use daily. I’m not talking earbuds, but the traditional ones covering your ears. In my radio days, what I heard in my ears was important. I still have that feeling today,…

Mark Madness (MM #5120)

The title of today’s podcast is not a mistake. We’re talking about Mark Madness, not the NCAA basketball tournament. Two nights ago, I was up late watching an old Law & Order episode on Sundance TV. I don’t usually pay attention to the commercials, but one of their promotional announcements caught my eye. It promoted…

Familiar Sight (MM #5119)

A familiar sight on our highways is reaching the end of the line. Kenworth just announced that their W900 semi-cab is being discontinued after 65 years.
