88 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 2 years ago - ★★★★★ - 2 ratings

Welcome to Season 4!

The purpose of this podcast is to expose the indecision we all have in making changes in our lives which in turn halts any further change in our communities.

Becoming aware of this indecision creates the opportunity to analyze and study the facts and feelings surrounding why we are repeating cycles of behavior that are not working.

Join me as I focus on the challenges our society faces in navigating the misinformation and myths conveyed by those in power to control the masses and divide the people. Or not, I’m still Indecisive.

F#CK FEAR part Five - Failure

August 31, 2021 11:00 - 17 minutes - 16.6 MB

Chumbawamba - Tubthumping  https://youtu.be/2H5uWRjFsGc I love the chorus to this song. Life is going to be tough sometimes. But you cannot let it knock you down and keep you down. Life teaches us lesson everyday. Some of them are hard lessons to learn. But if we analyze our mistakes or things that have not gone how we wanted, we can discover that that failure could be our greatest success. Because we can make a change in that moment that could change our lives forever. One of my current fav...

F#CK FEAR part 4 - Criticism

August 27, 2021 11:00 - 22 minutes - 20.8 MB

Screeching Weasel My Right https://youtu.be/sFWOgS9Oay0 This song was an anthem for us growing up. I was fortunate enough to have friends that accepted me for who I was, weird social quirks and all. We rallied around each other and formed a protective shield of self confidence that caused most criticisms to fall away without any problem. It wasn't until I "grew up" and started facing the challenges of life without a core support group that self doubt and the negative effects of criticism beg...

F#CK FEAR part Three - Poverty

August 24, 2021 11:00 - 13 minutes - 12.2 MB

Pink Floyd - Money (Official Music Video)  https://youtu.be/-0kcet4aPpQ Hello friends and neighbors, MZ here with another audio upload of our FB live series on F#CK FEAR. This time we discuss poverty and the driving motivations that we have been conditioned to believe. Money is not evil but it seems those that become consumed with possessing more and more of it can appear very shallow, selfish, or maniacal. But there are plenty of people whose pursuit of money has led them to be more genero...

A Day in the Life - Post Pandemic thoughts and the importance of a side hustle pt 1

June 22, 2021 17:04 - 31 minutes - 43.3 MB

A Day in the Life by the Beatles - https://youtu.be/usNsCeOV4GM - It's a new day my fellow Indecisivians. Life seems to be getting back to a "normal" that we can recognize again. More restrictions are being lifted. Masks are voluntary in some areas and only for those that have received one of the vaccines. People are going back to work and public events are opening back up. I do feel a bit relieved for the sun and warm weather as it feels like we just ended a really long winter. How are thing...

Get Your Stuff/Batch Made in Heaven - Local Entrepreneur Spotlight

June 16, 2021 04:59 - 54 minutes - 124 MB

Have you ever tried to make homemade fudge? It is a very challenging confection to not only attempt but to perfect. Most fudge is hard and crystalline. But once in a while, you find a fudge that is so smooth, it literally melts in your mouth. I found this much sought-after delicacy at, you guessed it, the Garland Farmers Market at Firewheel. Just when I thought I had tapped it out of interesting folks making extraordinary things, I meet John and Martha with a little candy shop called Batch M...

The Confectionist Factory - Local Entrepreneur Spotlight

It was gooey with caramel and chocola...

Lilo's Salsa - Local Entrepreneur Spotlight

June 03, 2021 20:34 - 1 hour - 73 MB

Have you taken a look at the salsa aisle at your local grocery store? There are so many choices it can be as overwhelming as trying to choose the right BBQ sauce to go with your chicken tenders. I think it's because here in Texas, salsa is one of the major food groups.  We consume an enormous amount of chips and salsa and the Dallas area is no slouch when it comes to the amount of Tex Mex food we make, order, and share. We love the stuff. Could you eat so much salsa that you would ever consi...

Lucy Lu Doggy Treats - Community Entrepreneur Spotlight

June 01, 2021 13:51 - 43 minutes - 40.6 MB

Have you ever had a dog as a companion? Dogs are a lot of responsibility - they need exercise, attention, and quality nutrition. But there is a huge return on this investment of time and care. There can be a magical connection between humans and canines and when that happens things will forever change in that relationship. The dog is no longer a pet, they are a member of the family. Dogs have the power to change your life. And in the case of Lucy Lu, this dog went from being rescued from a b...

The Rooster - My Sleepless nights may be over

May 27, 2021 01:09 - 31 minutes - 29.4 MB

The Rooster unplugged by Alice In Chains - https://youtu.be/jUahBnEkIw8 - A new day will dawn for me tomorrow. I have been freed from the torment of the nightly sheiks and squawks of the banshee that has shattered my slumber for oh these many nights. I think the sound of concrete blocks being tossed around in a cement mixer would have less strain on the ears than the optical nerve piercing timber of this hell spawned cockerel. Sparkle, may your days on the new farm be filled with green grass...

Viola's Place - Where the vibe is good and the food is even better with a bit of comfort.

May 20, 2021 22:35 - 1 hour - 60.2 MB

Hello my friends, today we have another local business to spotlight from the Dallas area. Our guest, Montoya Hunter, is the owner/operator of Viola's Place. Ms. Hunter has an amazing menu of creole delights like etouffee, seafood gumbo, and boudin balls as well as turkey legs and fish baskets. Viola's Place offers catering for events and meal prep if you have a busy life and would rather have high-quality food instead of something from the freezer or take-out window.

If I only had the Nerve - Warrants and COVID and Wolves Oh My!

May 19, 2021 04:54 - 41 minutes - 38.1 MB

If I only had the Nerve from the Wizard of Oz - I've always loved the Wizard of Oz. It is a timeless classic that I could watch anytime because it has so many lessons to share. Like, watch out for poppy fields and flying monkeys. Follow the path to your destination and don't trust men that make a big show because they might be full of just hot air. And, if we stick together, no matter what our difference, we can overcome terrible odds, and sometimes all it takes is a little water. Well, toda...

Strange Fruit - Thursday Thoughts and The United States vs. Billie Holliday

May 13, 2021 18:55 - 51 minutes - 47.5 MB

Strange Fruit sang live by Billie Holiday - I was first introduced to Billie Holiday's music at around the turn of the century. A very good friend of mine had suggested I check out a local AM radio station that played 40's, 50's, and 60's music. Doo-wop songs like 1954s "Sh-boom" by the Crew cuts or big band classics like 1939s "In the Mood" by the Glenn Miller Orchestra. I loved every one of these songs for the upbeat feelings I'd feel and catchy lyrics I'd sing. Then I discovered Louis Arm...

Taking Care of Business - Local Spotlight on Snarky Girl Boutique

May 11, 2021 21:28 - 55 minutes - 51.1 MB

Taking Care of Business by Bachman Turner Overdrive - https://youtu.be/ybtl9qVFAjc - There are people that work at the same job for their entire career. There are those that stay in the same field but work at many different places. And there are those that try many different jobs in many different fields. And then there are those that decide that working for someone else is just not for them and they start their own business. Today's episode is an interview with someone that has worked in a ...

Candyman - Local Spotlight on Jenn's Keto Treats

May 07, 2021 17:55 - 39 minutes - 37 MB

Candyman by Sammy Davis Jr. https://youtu.be/v7PhNZs33VE - This song calls back so many fond memories for me. I was probably introduced to it through "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" back in my childhood. I've lost count of how many times I watched it. The story was so compelling and what kid doesn't dream of swimming in a chocolate river or eating a marshmallow flower?!? As delicious as they all seem, we know excessive sweets are not the best for your body. Many people have dietary r...

You Don't Know How It Feels - Local Spotlight on Bee Hippy Hemp Dispensary

May 04, 2021 11:00 - 57 minutes - 53.5 MB

You Don't Know How It Feels live by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers https://youtu.be/G5ih9OIUf_g - Cannabis has come a long way since the days of radical prohibition. Although still Federally illegal for now, lawmakers in DC are working on bills that could make changes to the classification of cannabis as a controlled substance. But until then, states are starting to adopt medical use and recreational use more and more these days. Here in Texas, we have a low-level THC medical cannabis progr...

The Weight (Take a load off) - On the Road: The Game of Life to play or not to play? Solo or as a team?

April 30, 2021 00:04 - 47 minutes - 43.7 MB

The Weight (Take a load off) by The Band - https://youtu.be/9P202C3mm8g - The pressures of modern life, raising a family, and earning a living to keep it all funded can really wear on you after a while, especially if you are the type to push hard to expand and grow. Sometimes life can get you frazzled to the point of giving up the fight. I've been there, so trust me when I say it's ok to take a pause and regroup. Take a load off, you never know it may give you the chance to expand your visio...

Ain't that America - Community Spotlight - Garland Farmers Market at Firewheel

April 27, 2021 22:01 - 1 hour - 56.8 MB

Small Town by John Mellencamp - This song has always given me a warm feeling, like riding in the back of a pickup truck slow through the downtown square on a sunny day waving at the folks walking by. Kids playing in the park and the smell of BBQ cooking on a grill. And look, there's a farmers market set up! Booths and tables full of baked goods, handmade crafts, and jar after jar of salsas and pickled everything. The most vibrant vegetables and fruits, all in the peak of freshness and flavor...

Don't Stop Me Now - On the Road edition The Game of Life pt 1

April 20, 2021 21:00 - 37 minutes - 34.6 MB

Queen - Don't Stop Me Now (Official Video) https://youtu.be/HgzGwKwLmgM Freddie Mercury was an amazing talent. If you have not seen the movie Bohemian Rhapsody I highly recommend you check it out. In this movie, a young and kinda goofy looking guy is determined to become a great singer. He doesn't have the support of his family because they think he is wasting his time. When he 1st asks to sing for a band he likes they laugh at him. But this guy was determined. He was committed to his dream....

Ode to Joy - Indecisive On the Road edition pt 1

April 14, 2021 17:09 - 49 minutes - 45.9 MB

Beethoven's 9th "Ode to Joy" - https://youtu.be/hdWyYn0E4Ys - This song means so many things to me. But for the purposes of this episode, it relates to the movie that I highly recommend called "Warrior" starring Tom Hardy, Nick Nolte, and Joel Edgerton. I do not recommend you watch the trailer for this movie. I did not and I feel like it was way more effective the less I knew about the movie. Mixed Martial arts fighting is a major part of the plot so if you are averse to watching two men bea...

Working for a Living - A discussion on corporate wages and worker compensation

April 06, 2021 04:31 - 1 hour - 75.5 MB

Let's face it, it's getting harder to stretch a dollar for most of us. So how in a time when people are losing their jobs and savings are corporations reporting record profits. Why is it that most of the entry-level workers in the United States are unable to earn enough to meet even the most basic of needs and are subsidized by the American taxpayers through government assistance? Yet corporations report record profits and the shareholders rejoice. But what about the ones that report to work...

Somebody's Watching Me - https://youtu.be/7YvAYIJSSZY - If Rockwell thought someone was watching him back in the 80s, what must he think now? Have you ever wonder about how many companies are tracking your movements? If not, don't bother because they all are. If you use the internet, own a smartphone, or leave your home then you are being tracked in some way or another. There are cameras on every corner, every purchase you make with your debit or credit card pings your location and what store...

It's Only Make Believe - Memories of Mom on her birthday

March 26, 2021 03:19 - 14 minutes - 13.1 MB

It's Only Make Believe - Live performance by Conway Twitty in 1990. Remarkable talent and a song that I remember hearing many times in my childhood.  Today is my Mother and her twin sisters birthday. My Mom graduated from this life in 2003 from Cancer. She had beaten it once before, but it came back for another round. She was a kind, caring, and creative lady. I often think about what she would be doing if she were here today. Probably creating crafts and visiting her grandchildren. She ded...

Jimmy Buffett live 2010 - Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes   https://youtu.be/b7JpxavO9NE Hello Indecisivians, I find myself more and more overwhelmed with the amount of our lives that are spent on the internet. Working online makes it especially easy to get stuck in a screen for hours on end. And with that, we must find ways to navigate the dangers that lurk by keeping up with an array of login and password information. And then you change computers and all your saved login info...

Knocking on Wood - Finding Your Why

February 12, 2021 11:00 - 21 minutes - 19.8 MB

So this is one I have been rattling around in my head for a while. I have always fallen into procrastination. It's a flaw that I recognize and do my best to combat it through any means necessary. For you must guard your focus as though your life depends upon it, my dear readers. We all have the potential to do anything we want but too many times, not every time I understand, we get in our own way and hobble our ability to progress and expand. I know they are cases of those that are trapped i...

Do you listen to music? If you do like music, what is your favorite genre? Rock? Country? Hip Hop? What is your earliest memory about music?  I have loved music all my life. It is such an amazing language to perform. The way the notes play nice together or worbble around each other like a bag of cats. The message may not only be in the word you see. The layers of notes and chords entering your ears and frolicking through your synapsis are speaking to your brain. Music can bring about feeling...

Communication Breakdown - MZ Hammer with a very personal share on family communication

January 27, 2021 17:57 - 49 minutes - 46.2 MB

Greetings and salutations. I just came off one of the most excellent weekend visits with my adorable and brilliant wife. And I believe the reason this visit was so amazing was the level of honesty and communication that we were able to achieve is beyond what we have ever had before. There was a little family drama in the week working up to the visit which gave me some high anxiety on how to deal with it. Join me as I expose some real, raw, and relevant issues I am dealing with on a very pers...

Yackety Sax! Happy Birthday Benny Hill - A brief review of the life of a very funny man

January 21, 2021 21:18 - 27 minutes - 25.2 MB

21 January happens to be the birthday of one of my all-time favorite comedians, Alfred Hawthorne Hill aka Benny Hill so I thought it would be fitting to do a tribute. I have very fond memories of watching his show as a youngin and just laughing my ass off and the lingerie wearing ladies were a nice bonus ;) . His style of comedy definitely hit the mark for me back then and I did a quick rewatch of a few episodes and to me, they still hold up. Slapstick and physical comedy is a very difficult...
