    I don't get the negativity by a few people- I enjoyed this episode immensely. I thought it had really good energy and everyone seemed to be comfortable and having a fun time. Some of the comments are bordering on fuddy duddyism. "Oh! The way these young people talk and how little they know!"

     

    A few months back the podcast providers did the audience survey to determine what ads would be best directed for the main age group of listeners. Which if I remember correctly were people a lot younger than myself. I wonder if maybe they are trying to get younger guests for the show, to match the listener demographic?

    I didn't have a problem with Nova. She's young. Good energy. I didn't expect the dialog of an old sage to come from someone so young. I thought her personality paired well with Kulap & Howard.

    Diapers get on bad side of attacker

    A Tarpon Springs man found trouble recently when he attacked the diaper aisle at a local Walmart.

    Tarpon Springs police said Jeffrey Michael Pepin, 44, went into the Walmart at 41232 U.S. 19 N on July 26 and began ripping diapers.

    Pepin did not discriminate based on age, destroying both infant and adult diapers, police said in an arrest report.

    An officer wrote: "The defendant was observed on video in the adult and infant diaper sections of the store ripping open sealed bag of diapers. He was observed removing diapers from their bags and throwing the individual diapers back on the shelves."

    In all, Pepin opened 28 packages of diapers, causing $342 in product damage.

    When police arrested Pepin, he gave them an explanation: "Post Miranda the defendant admitted being in (the) store shopping for diapers for a dog in heat," an officer wrote in a report.

    Of course.

    Pepin was arrested on a criminal mischief charge

    I'm a little behind on my listening.

    As a person that has ridden motorcycles since I was a child, raced motocross, and still now ride in my 50's, I'm just a little more than non-plussed by the anti-motorcycle discussion on the podcast.

     

    I will grant you that everybody has seen motorcyclists who operate their bikes dangerously. Those people do not represent the greater majority of people who operate a bike safely.

     

    And if you want to talk about numbers, let's discuss the massive amount of people driving cars while watching movies, texting, or masturbating. On a motorcycle, my seated height is higher than a person driving in a car. I can look down inside your cars and see what you are doing. Just because a person in a car is encased in metal, doesn't mean they are automatically being safe. To a far greater (sheer numbers) extent a person in car is distracting themselves with objects inside the car as opposed to what's going on in traffic.

    Summah setback, oof! My Summah setback has'm good ending.

    Just as Summah was starting, I found out I had cancer. I'm lucky. My tumor, although big, had not spread, and was operable.

    The surgery was performed robotically, lasted four hours, and they had to take part of my kidney. Spent 3.5 days in the hospital.

    Notes:

    1) I got in early on the "Have a Summah" t-shirts, and wore mine on the morning of surgery.

    2) One month to the day, I wore the same shirt to a beach race.

    So I had my setback, and it's all behind me.

     

    Hopefully that's not too much a bummer. If so, we can use my 2nd setback:

    A belt broke on my car, and I didn't have A/C. I live in Florida, and no A/C is a SERIOUS setback! :)

    Peace!

    I'm not being argumentative, I walked away with a different perspective.

    I like the Jason and Howard dynamic, it's comparable to the Howard and Kulap dynamic. Close friends that don't shy away from getting Howard out of his comfort zone. When Jason's energy went up, so did Howard's.

    It kind of helps to have already listened to the Sklarboro episode, because that was only like 48 minutes long (which is a short Sklar ep). The Sklars and Nash tried to to make it work, but it didn't click like this episode of Whooch. The Sklar episode wasn't bad, but at 48 minutes it felt edited.

    I think Nash should come back soon, and even better if they can get his mother on the mic a little more.
