To Holy Hell With Well
December 16, 2018 11:00 - 12 minutes - 5.77 KBTo 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 ...

A Men Are Saints Thanksgiving
November 18, 2018 11:00 - 15 minutes - 7.21 KBExcess 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. Give a listen please.

Happy Hangin' Out
November 04, 2018 11:00 - 14 minutes - 6.64 KBAmericans 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 liv...
Hand-Some-Ness
October 28, 2018 11:00 - 15 minutes - 7.3 KBI 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 ha...
Young Guys Lurk
October 21, 2018 11:00 - 13 minutes - 23.9 KBMy Lady and I walked into the Applebees Grill & Bar the other day. Sitting right by the door, was a young guy nursing a bottle. When he saw my Lady, he tossed the bottle on the floor and reached for my Lady. This podcast explains what happened next.
The Reason Guys Want Women

Daddy's Girl
October 07, 2018 11:00 - 16 minutes - 30.6 KBFor reasons I'll tell you a little later on, I have to stop Podcast Production for a couple of weeks, so I'm going to have to repeat a couple of them.

September 30, 2018 11:00 - 15 minutes - 9.09 KB"Chrissy Girl" listens to these podcasts. And she says they make her feel "safe, relaxed, and beautiful." That's what I wanted to do on the radio.

Sit Proud
September 23, 2018 11:00 - 19 minutes - 35.7 KB"THEY" are telling us, "DON'T SIT DOWN." I say, "Sit, eat, enjoy." Get up early in the morning and go for a good, brisk sit. Eating helps the farmers. And what's the most comfortable way to eat? SITTING. THEY say "Sitting is like smoking. It'll make you dies young." I'm sitting. I'm a Louie Louie Generation guy. Too late for me to die young. Sit. Eat. Enjoy.
The Mouse In The House
September 16, 2018 11:00 - 17 minutes - 23.4 KBThere are now almost 700 Good Night podcasts. So far, this is my favorite. It features ME...foiling an attack on my Lady Wonder Wench by a two inch, three ounce monster in the middle of the night. When it was over, she didn't sigh, "Oh my hero." She said something even better. Give a listen please.
Toys For Boys
September 09, 2018 11:00 - 13 minutes - 25.5 KBThere'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.
A No Hands Backrub
September 02, 2018 11:00 - 14 minutes - 26.3 KBI like back rubs more than I should. There's a confession in this podcast. I'm confessing that I'm seriously thinking about going bald, so when my Lady Wonder Wench gives me a back rub, she won't have to stop at my neck.
Don't Mature FERMENT!
August 26, 2018 11:00 - 16 minutes - 29.8 KBCan't help the years going by. BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO FALL INTO THE TRAP OF MATURING! Maturing is B O O R I N G. I tried it once. Big failure. Today's podcast gives you a couple of much more interesting possibilities.

Taking Some Time For Your Own Bad Self
August 12, 2018 11:00 - 18 minutes - 33.9 KBWe're WAYYY too busy, and this podcast has a solution to that problem.

So BIg Louie says, "Take a don't do what you don't want to do day...doo wah, doo wah" Give it a listen...when you find some time.
It's Good To Drive A Klunker
August 05, 2018 11:00 - 18 minutes - 33.7 KBThis 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, s...
Trading Abs for Flabs
July 29, 2018 11:00 - 15 minutes - 22 KBIf you are a "Louie Louie Generation" gentleman, DO NOT LOOK AT YOURSELF SIDEWAYS IN A MIRROR. You are in danger of suffering from "Pre-Cotious Ab Deflation." The definition of that word and all your other questions are answered in this podcast. Dig in!

Gettiing Comfortable
July 15, 2018 11:00 - 18 minutes - 33.5 KBI 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...
Some Soft Summer Sounds
July 08, 2018 11:00 - 12 minutes - 17.4 KBThis 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
July 01, 2018 11:00 - 14 minutes - 26.1 KBI'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...
Tough Toe Nails
June 24, 2018 11:00 - 15 minutes - 29.3 KB"Stop biting your toe nails." How often have you heard that one? Today's podcast explains why you might hear somebody say it to you in church. So be careful if you go to church wearing flip flops.
Big Bikini Bust
June 17, 2018 11:00 - 16 minutes - 22.6 KB"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 rul...
A Summer Shower Duet
June 10, 2018 11:00 - 12 minutes - 17.7 KBLife is like a giant roll of toilet paper. The closer you get to the end, the faster it goes. Early Summer goes very fast. I think it's the fastest season of all. This podcast is going to help you get a little Summer loving while you still have time.
An Early Summer Day
June 03, 2018 11:00 - 19 minutes - 26.5 KBThis 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?
May 27, 2018 11:00 - 14 minutes - 20.6 KBWho, 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'...
Guys Grunt
May 20, 2018 11:00 - 15 minutes - 29.2 KBThis 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...
Fun With Fantasies
May 13, 2018 11:00 - 15 minutes - 28 KBIt'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...
The Magic Of Maybe
May 06, 2018 11:00 - 17 minutes - 24.6 KB"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. ...

April 01, 2018 11:00 - 14 minutes - 20.3 KBI 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." ...
Sex is Good
March 25, 2018 11:00 - 17 minutes - 32.4 KBWe 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
March 18, 2018 11:00 - 16 minutes - 31 KBWonder 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 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." "Wa...

Our Gratitude Attitude doesn't mean looking at life through rose colo...
