The Mason Minute: Recent Episodes

For many families, medical bills can be a major source of stress. Anytime there’s a doctor visit, hospital stay, or even a trip to the emergency room, the bills that come with those are often large. Since I’ve been fairly healthy most of my life and don’t have kids, I didn’t worry about these things. But that changed less than two months ago, with one trip to the emergency room, two short hospital stays, and then a couple of major procedures. As one of my coworkers explained it, you have to look at it like you’re playing with Monopoly money. Because the numbers you see in those bills can keep you up at night… Click Here To Subscribe * Apple Podcasts * Spotify * Amazon Music * Google Podcasts * TuneIn * iHeartRadio * Pandora * Deezer * Blubrry * Bullhorn * CastBox * Castro * fyyd.de * Gaana * iVoox * Listen Notes * myTuner Radio * Overcast * OwlTail * Player.fm * PocketCasts * Podbay * Podbean * Podcast Addict * Podcast Index * Podcast Republic * Podchaser * Podfan * Podtail * Radio Public * Radio.com * Reason.fm * RSSRadio * Vurbl * We.fo * Yandex
We spend most of our lives searching for answers. For those of us who lack patience, we’re really just wanting answers. It doesn’t matter the situation, the quicker we know what's going on, the quicker we're able to deal with it. For the last seven weeks, I’ve been needing answers. I’ve been impatient. It’s taken a long time to get the full picture of my heart. We knew part of the problem, but we didn’t have the full picture. Finally, I know what’s going on. And while I don’t have all the answers, I have enough to make me feel better. There are still lots of questions, but at least I know something… Click Here To Subscribe * Apple Podcasts * Spotify * Amazon Music * Google Podcasts * TuneIn * iHeartRadio * Pandora * Deezer * Blubrry * Bullhorn * CastBox * Castro * fyyd.de * Gaana * iVoox * Listen Notes * myTuner Radio * Overcast * OwlTail * Player.fm * PocketCasts * Podbay * Podbean * Podcast Addict * Podcast Index * Podcast Republic * Podchaser * Podfan * Podtail * Radio Public * Radio.com * Reason.fm * RSSRadio * Vurbl * We.fo * Yandex
Many people say the media tends to exaggerate some facts. One area where I know that’s true is when patting themselves on the back for their achievements. Oftentimes, when someone’s worked in a town for a long time, they’re often dubbed a local legend, and many times that’s an exaggeration. Late last week, Indianapolis radio icon Bob Kevoian lost his battle with cancer at age 75. He was one half of the long-running, market-dominating Bob & Tom morning show, which has been heard nationwide for two decades. And if there’s one man who truly deserved the moniker of local legend, it’s Bob Kevoian… Click Here To Subscribe * Apple Podcasts * Spotify * Amazon Music * Google Podcasts * TuneIn * iHeartRadio * Pandora * Deezer * Blubrry * Bullhorn * CastBox * Castro * fyyd.de * Gaana * iVoox * Listen Notes * myTuner Radio * Overcast * OwlTail * Player.fm * PocketCasts * Podbay * Podbean * Podcast Addict * Podcast Index * Podcast Republic * Podchaser * Podfan * Podtail * Radio Public * Radio.com * Reason.fm * RSSRadio * Vurbl * We.fo * Yandex
I’ve had a pet peeve that I’m sure I’ve talked about before. But it seems to be getting worse in recent years. Advertisers have always used songs to promote their products. And over the last few decades, rather than creating custom jingles, they have used popular songs. In recent years, companies have started using songs that weren’t big hit records but may have found popularity on places like MTV. And lately, they seem to be ruining songs that were always some of my favorites. The one song in particular that got me onto this rant is by the group M|A|R|R|S, and it’s called ‘Pump Up The Volume’. And what bothered me most was the company using the song… Click Here To Subscribe * Apple Podcasts * Spotify * Amazon Music * Google Podcasts * TuneIn * iHeartRadio * Pandora * Deezer * Blubrry * Bullhorn * CastBox * Castro * fyyd.de * Gaana * iVoox * Listen Notes * myTuner Radio * Overcast * OwlTail * Player.fm * PocketCasts * Podbay * Podbean * Podcast Addict * Podcast Index * Podcast Republic * Podchaser * Podfan * Podtail * Radio Public * Radio.com * Reason.fm * RSSRadio * Vurbl * We.fo * Yandex
For the last six weeks, since my visit to the emergency room, I have felt a little off. Part of the reason is due to all the medications they have me on to try to get my body prepared for surgery, and for the future. Because of these medications, I’ve already lost 40 pounds. And while that’s a good thing, I’m sure it’s part of the reason I don’t feel so good. My heart specialist said I’d feel like I had the flu, but that’s not the right feeling. I don’t feel this way every day, but I often feel woozy. Where everything‘s just off. If it only lasted for an hour or two, it would be okay. But this spacey feeling can sometimes last for more than the day… Click Here To Subscribe * Apple Podcasts * Spotify * Amazon Music * Google Podcasts * TuneIn * iHeartRadio * Pandora * Deezer * Blubrry * Bullhorn * CastBox * Castro * fyyd.de * Gaana * iVoox * Listen Notes * myTuner Radio * Overcast * OwlTail * Player.fm * PocketCasts * Podbay * Podbean * Podcast Addict * Podcast Index * Podcast Republic * Podchaser * Podfan * Podtail * Radio Public * Radio.com * Reason.fm * RSSRadio * Vurbl * We.fo * Yandex
My doctors have put me on a low-sodium diet. And truthfully, that’s not something I focused on through the years. Calories, fat, sugars, all of the things the weight loss experts tell you to focus on. So now, my wife and I are reading labels for every product at the grocery store. I realize many products have natural sodium, but as I’m finding, many add sodium for shelf stability. It’s going to be a challenge navigating this new normal. Well, some companies make low-sodium versions of products; you have to really focus on the small details. I’m already tired, and this research is going to take a lot of time… Click Here To Subscribe * Apple Podcasts * Spotify * Amazon Music * Google Podcasts * TuneIn * iHeartRadio * Pandora * Deezer * Blubrry * Bullhorn * CastBox * Castro * fyyd.de * Gaana * iVoox * Listen Notes * myTuner Radio * Overcast * OwlTail * Player.fm * PocketCasts * Podbay * Podbean * Podcast Addict * Podcast Index * Podcast Republic * Podchaser * Podfan * Podtail * Radio Public * Radio.com * Reason.fm * RSSRadio * Vurbl * We.fo * Yandex
Through the years, I’ve had a challenging relationship with doctors. And I’m being kind by using the word challenging. I’ve not had much luck with them. But over the last six weeks, I spent more time talking to doctors than I would like. But when I was in the hospital last week, one of my nurses explained why I have such issues. She said doctors love everything by the book. And when they’re faced with challenging circumstances or patients who ask a lot of questions, it causes them stress that makes a lot of sense. I do ask a lot of questions and challenge them often, which they obviously don’t like. This wisdom helped me understand so much… Click Here To Subscribe * Apple Podcasts * Spotify * Amazon Music * Google Podcasts * TuneIn * iHeartRadio * Pandora * Deezer * Blubrry * Bullhorn * CastBox * Castro * fyyd.de * Gaana * iVoox * Listen Notes * myTuner Radio * Overcast * OwlTail * Player.fm * PocketCasts * Podbay * Podbean * Podcast Addict * Podcast Index * Podcast Republic * Podchaser * Podfan * Podtail * Radio Public * Radio.com * Reason.fm * RSSRadio * Vurbl * We.fo * Yandex
We all have quirks. Although I don’t know if you’d consider this a quirk, I like to be punctual. But every now and then, you have to accept defeat. But, as the old saying goes, better late than never. It’s been a few days since the last Mason Minute, in fact, probably the longest span since we started the podcast 15 years ago. Another unexpected hospital stay kept me away from the microphone. And I don’t think my wife was willing to bring my computer and recording unit to the hospital so I could stay on schedule. But as she reminds me, it’s my schedule, not the world's. While I realize the world goes on without The Mason Minute every day, or even every couple of days, I still feel bad… Click Here To Subscribe * Apple Podcasts * Spotify * Amazon Music * Google Podcasts * TuneIn * iHeartRadio * Pandora * Deezer * Blubrry * Bullhorn * CastBox * Castro * fyyd.de * Gaana * iVoox * Listen Notes * myTuner Radio * Overcast * OwlTail * Player.fm * PocketCasts * Podbay * Podbean * Podcast Addict * Podcast Index * Podcast Republic * Podchaser * Podfan * Podtail * Radio Public * Radio.com * Reason.fm * RSSRadio * Vurbl * We.fo * Yandex
I’ve been thinking a lot about the difference between fear and being scared. I had to go to the hospital today for some outpatient surgery. I’m scared. And it’s the first time I honestly believe I’ve been scared in a long time. I fear things, but I've realized it's not to the point of being scared. The doctor says this is a routine procedure, and while it is for him, it’s definitely not for me. I guess fear is a good thing. Because if I weren’t afraid, I’d wonder what was wrong with me. There are so many times in life when we feel fear, or even think we’re terrified. But we don’t realize the levels of these feelings until we hit the extremes… Click Here To Subscribe * Apple Podcasts * Spotify * Amazon Music * Google Podcasts * TuneIn * iHeartRadio * Pandora * Deezer * Blubrry * Bullhorn * CastBox * Castro * fyyd.de * Gaana * iVoox * Listen Notes * myTuner Radio * Overcast * OwlTail * Player.fm * PocketCasts * Podbay * Podbean * Podcast Addict * Podcast Index * Podcast Republic * Podchaser * Podfan * Podtail * Radio Public * Radio.com * Reason.fm * RSSRadio * Vurbl * We.fo * Yandex
We live in stressful times. Technically, we’re involved in a war in the Middle East. We have so much political strife in our country, but what’s the biggest Easter crisis this year? Reese‘s Peanut Butter Eggs. People are complaining that this year's Reese's eggs don’t have as much chocolate and don’t taste the same as last year's. Hershey, the company that makes them, admits they changed their chocolate formula. Due to rising prices, they decided to make a change. And people aren’t happy. But now, as Easter is upon us, they tell us they’re going to change the formula back to the way it used to be… Click Here To Subscribe * Apple Podcasts * Spotify * Amazon Music * Google Podcasts * TuneIn * iHeartRadio * Pandora * Deezer * Blubrry * Bullhorn * CastBox * Castro * fyyd.de * Gaana * iVoox * Listen Notes * myTuner Radio * Overcast * OwlTail * Player.fm * PocketCasts * Podbay * Podbean * Podcast Addict * Podcast Index * Podcast Republic * Podchaser * Podfan * Podtail * Radio Public * Radio.com * Reason.fm * RSSRadio * Vurbl * We.fo * Yandex
We all have cravings. But over the last couple of weeks, I’ve had one for something I’ve never really desired before. I’ve been craving water. My doctors have me limiting my fluids. I’m only supposed to drink 64 ounces a day for now. And I understand they don’t want me drinking soda, alcohol, or anything in general that’s bad for me. That’s okay. I’m fine, just drinking water. But now it’s all I want. I feel dehydrated. I’m often parched. And I don’t crave Coca-Cola or Jack Daniels. I just want ice-cold water. It’s the strangest thing I’ve ever been through, and hopefully it won’t last much longer… Click Here To Subscribe * Apple Podcasts * Spotify * Amazon Music * Google Podcasts * TuneIn * iHeartRadio * Pandora * Deezer * Blubrry * Bullhorn * CastBox * Castro * fyyd.de * Gaana * iVoox * Listen Notes * myTuner Radio * Overcast * OwlTail * Player.fm * PocketCasts * Podbay * Podbean * Podcast Addict * Podcast Index * Podcast Republic * Podchaser * Podfan * Podtail * Radio Public * Radio.com * Reason.fm * RSSRadio * Vurbl * We.fo * Yandex
If you’re a typical pet owner, your dogs or cats are just like a member of the family. And the hardest thing to have to deal with is saying goodbye. It’s never easy, and never fun. And while I still mourn all the pets I've had over the years, I’m feeling a bit melancholy today. My sister-in-law had to say goodbye to one of her dogs the other day. And I didn’t realize how hard it would hit me. Molly and I had a routine every time I visited. After waking up and being taken outside to do her business, she had to come back in and hang out with me. And she hops up and squeezes it next to me. No matter the time of the year, we always had to get our snuggle time. And now that’s gone… Click Here To Subscribe * Apple Podcasts * Spotify * Amazon Music * Google Podcasts * TuneIn * iHeartRadio * Pandora * Deezer * Blubrry * Bullhorn * CastBox * Castro * fyyd.de * Gaana * iVoox * Listen Notes * myTuner Radio * Overcast * OwlTail * Player.fm * PocketCasts * Podbay * Podbean * Podcast Addict * Podcast Index * Podcast Republic * Podchaser * Podfan * Podtail * Radio Public * Radio.com * Reason.fm * RSSRadio * Vurbl * We.fo * Yandex
Throughout our lives, we have been warned that salt is not good for us. And as we get older, we understand the nuances between the salt shaker and sodium. While salt contains sodium, other products also contain the mineral, so we have to pay attention to them. My doctor has warned me that I need to start looking at cutting out all sodium from my diet. I’ve never been a salt user, so that’s the easy part, but the hidden sodium in almost everything we eat will be the challenge. I’m not sure I can get rid of all of it, but we’re already trying to reduce what I eat. And, like many people with the same issue, I’ve learned one thing. If it has flavor, it has… Click Here To Subscribe * Apple Podcasts * Spotify * Amazon Music * Google Podcasts * TuneIn * iHeartRadio * Pandora * Deezer * Blubrry * Bullhorn * CastBox * Castro * fyyd.de * Gaana * iVoox * Listen Notes * myTuner Radio * Overcast * OwlTail * Player.fm * PocketCasts * Podbay * Podbean * Podcast Addict * Podcast Index * Podcast Republic * Podchaser * Podfan * Podtail * Radio Public * Radio.com * Reason.fm * RSSRadio * Vurbl * We.fo * Yandex
How much do you know about the food you give your pets? Back in my Radio days, I learned a lot about cat food when I was spokesman for one of the big brands. But as much as I learned about cat food, I still don’t know a lot. And when it comes to dog food, I know even less. It’s been a long time since I had a dog, but I can’t even remember what we fed it or why. I keep seeing TV commercials telling me that kibble is bad for a dog. A lot of these upstart, fresh brands talk about it in a bad way. As I learned with cats, while we want them to eat the best food, they like what they like… Click Here To Subscribe * Apple Podcasts * Spotify * Amazon Music * Google Podcasts * TuneIn * iHeartRadio * Pandora * Deezer * Blubrry * Bullhorn * CastBox * Castro * fyyd.de * Gaana * iVoox * Listen Notes * myTuner Radio * Overcast * OwlTail * Player.fm * PocketCasts * Podbay * Podbean * Podcast Addict * Podcast Index * Podcast Republic * Podchaser * Podfan * Podtail * Radio Public * Radio.com * Reason.fm * RSSRadio * Vurbl * We.fo * Yandex
Let me ask you a serious question. Are you happy? In all honesty, I don’t know what that means. The term is so vague and so personalized. I don’t think we all see happiness equally. One thing that most of the world will agree on is that Americans aren’t very happy. And this just isn’t a recent development. It’s something that’s been going on for years. In terms of happiness, the United States ranks only 23rd worldwide. Number one, you ask? It’s Finland, for the ninth year in a row. Why are the Finnish so happy? I’m sure we can give plenty of examples of why Americans aren’t very happy, but this information is fascinating… Click Here To Subscribe * Apple Podcasts * Spotify * Amazon Music * Google Podcasts * TuneIn * iHeartRadio * Pandora * Deezer * Blubrry * Bullhorn * CastBox * Castro * fyyd.de * Gaana * iVoox * Listen Notes * myTuner Radio * Overcast * OwlTail * Player.fm * PocketCasts * Podbay * Podbean * Podcast Addict * Podcast Index * Podcast Republic * Podchaser * Podfan * Podtail * Radio Public * Radio.com * Reason.fm * RSSRadio * Vurbl * We.fo * Yandex
I know that people can be split into two groups: coffee drinkers and non-coffee drinkers. I guess you could say the same thing about tea. Although I know some people who love iced tea but avoid hot tea. When it comes to tea, I’m all in. There’s something about brewing tea that is calming. I’m sure it goes back to my younger days when my mother would brew tea for me when I wasn’t feeling good. I don’t drink it as often as I want to, because to do it right takes time. And I don’t always have the time I’d like. But I read something the other day about hot tea that concerns me. For years, we’ve heard how good it was for you, but now there’s something to be worried about… Click Here To Subscribe * Apple Podcasts * Spotify * Amazon Music * Google Podcasts * TuneIn * iHeartRadio * Pandora * Deezer * Blubrry * Bullhorn * CastBox * Castro * fyyd.de * Gaana * iVoox * Listen Notes * myTuner Radio * Overcast * OwlTail * Player.fm * PocketCasts * Podbay * Podbean * Podcast Addict * Podcast Index * Podcast Republic * Podchaser * Podfan * Podtail * Radio Public * Radio.com * Reason.fm * RSSRadio * Vurbl * We.fo * Yandex
Fifteen years ago today, the first episode of The Mason Minute debuted. I hung up my headphones after leaving the radio business in 2006. But I never imagined taking on a project like a podcast. And most podcasts only last a few years. And I think about that fact often. But in all honesty, I never thought I would do this for even a decade, let alone 15 years. Now, I can’t imagine not doing it, and even though it’s only 60 seconds long, the time it takes to create, edit, and produce each episode is more involved than you might imagine. And while I know the world would go on without this podcast, I can’t imagine going on without it… Click Here To Subscribe * Apple Podcasts * Spotify * Amazon Music * Google Podcasts * TuneIn * iHeartRadio * Pandora * Deezer * Blubrry * Bullhorn * CastBox * Castro * fyyd.de * Gaana * iVoox * Listen Notes * myTuner Radio * Overcast * OwlTail * Player.fm * PocketCasts * Podbay * Podbean * Podcast Addict * Podcast Index * Podcast Republic * Podchaser * Podfan * Podtail * Radio Public * Radio.com * Reason.fm * RSSRadio * Vurbl * We.fo * Yandex
I’ve always been amused that nearly every fast food restaurant sells a fish sandwich during the Lenten season. I understand why they do it, but I always wondered why they took it off the menu after Easter. Of course, the most popular fish sandwich is also my favorite fish sandwich, the McDonald’s Filet-o-Fish. I always figured they sold the majority of their Filet-o-Fish during Lent. But that's not the case. I recently read that while about 75 million Filet-o-Fish sandwiches are sold during the 6+ weeks of Lent, over 200 million are sold outside of Lent for the rest of the year—that’s almost three times as many.

If you spend any time at the grocery store, you’ve likely spent an ample amount of time looking at expiration dates. I understand the need for them, but I’m honestly confused about why some products need one. For example, the other night I was getting ready to put on the nose strip I use to keep my airways open while I sleep. I’ve used them for years, but didn’t realize they had expiration dates until recently. Why? What part of this product can expire? I understand when food needs them. But they’re just products marked with those dates, and it makes me wonder… Click Here To Subscribe * Apple Podcasts * Spotify * Amazon Music * Google Podcasts * TuneIn * iHeartRadio * Pandora * Deezer * Blubrry * Bullhorn * CastBox * Castro * fyyd.de * Gaana * iVoox * Listen Notes * myTuner Radio * Overcast * OwlTail * Player.fm * PocketCasts * Podbay * Podbean * Podcast Addict * Podcast Index * Podcast Republic * Podchaser * Podfan * Podtail * Radio Public * Radio.com * Reason.fm * RSSRadio * Vurbl * We.fo * Yandex
I’ve had many unique experiences throughout my life. But until recently, I’ve never been shamed by a social media platform. Technically, they weren’t successful, but they tried. A couple of weeks ago, when I slowed down the Mason Minute at my doctor's request, Facebook messaged me to say I was now posting 30% less than I normally do. They were trying to make me feel guilty for not posting every day. I’m not sure what they hoped to accomplish. But they tried to make me feel guilty for not posting on social media, which was a first. Now, if they paid me to post every day, they could try to shame me, but I do this of my own free will, so I don’t know what they were thinking… Click Here To Subscribe * Apple Podcasts * Spotify * Amazon Music * Google Podcasts * TuneIn * iHeartRadio * Pandora * Deezer * Blubrry * Bullhorn * CastBox * Castro * fyyd.de * Gaana * iVoox * Listen Notes * myTuner Radio * Overcast * OwlTail * Player.fm * PocketCasts * Podbay * Podbean * Podcast Addict * Podcast Index * Podcast Republic * Podchaser * Podfan * Podtail * Radio Public * Radio.com * Reason.fm * RSSRadio * Vurbl * We.fo * Yandex
We’ve had some very strange weather over the last couple of weeks. It’s been both hot and cold, sometimes in the same day. I've had to switch from heat to air conditioning and back to heat in the span of 24 hours. We’ve experienced record highs in the mid-80s, and now, on Monday, it won’t even reach 45°. My body is very sensitive to temperature these days, and it’s been tough for me. I can be freezing one minute and then almost sweating the next. I’m sure climate change plays a role in this. But I wonder if there’s something we can do to make it easier to heat and cool our houses, so we don’t have to switch between heating and air conditioning… Click Here To Subscribe * Apple Podcasts * Spotify * Amazon Music * Google Podcasts * TuneIn * iHeartRadio * Pandora * Deezer * Blubrry * Bullhorn * CastBox * Castro * fyyd.de * Gaana * iVoox * Listen Notes * myTuner Radio * Overcast * OwlTail * Player.fm * PocketCasts * Podbay * Podbean * Podcast Addict * Podcast Index * Podcast Republic * Podchaser * Podfan * Podtail * Radio Public * Radio.com * Reason.fm * RSSRadio * Vurbl * We.fo * Yandex
With all of the doctor visits I’ve had over the last couple of weeks, losing weight has been a major topic of discussion. They touch on the typical points: reduce fat, cut carbs, and cut out both sugar and salt. I try to avoid most of those things, but I do admit I enjoy having a bagel with cream cheese every morning. But the doctor wants me to give that up. So he suggested substituting English muffins. And while I don’t mind them, they’re nowhere near as tasty as a bagel from the bakery or even the grocery store. And I don’t think the doctor wants me to get that muffin from McDonald's. I don't think Egg McMuffins are on the diet either… Click Here To Subscribe * Apple Podcasts * Spotify * Amazon Music * Google Podcasts * TuneIn * iHeartRadio * Pandora * Deezer * Blubrry * Bullhorn * CastBox * Castro * fyyd.de * Gaana * iVoox * Listen Notes * myTuner Radio * Overcast * OwlTail * Player.fm * PocketCasts * Podbay * Podbean * Podcast Addict * Podcast Index * Podcast Republic * Podchaser * Podfan * Podtail * Radio Public * Radio.com * Reason.fm * RSSRadio * Vurbl * We.fo * Yandex
I have big feet. I’m not saying this to be boastful; I’m just stating a fact. I’ve had big feet since I was a kid. But I never thought they would keep growing. My father has worn the same size shoes for as long as I can remember. My feet grew a couple of sizes into my mid-20s. But over the last few years, they’ve continued to grow. Part of the problem is that our feet flatten out as we get older. But this isn’t only a width issue. The bigger issue is that I now wear a size 16, which is almost impossible to find in stores. They’re easier to find now thanks to the Internet, but all 16s aren't alike. And that causes me a lot of frustration… Click Here To Subscribe * Apple Podcasts * Spotify * Amazon Music * Google Podcasts * TuneIn * iHeartRadio * Pandora * Deezer * Blubrry * Bullhorn * CastBox * Castro * fyyd.de * Gaana * iVoox * Listen Notes * myTuner Radio * Overcast * OwlTail * Player.fm * PocketCasts * Podbay * Podbean * Podcast Addict * Podcast Index * Podcast Republic * Podchaser * Podfan * Podtail * Radio Public * Radio.com * Reason.fm * RSSRadio * Vurbl * We.fo * Yandex
After getting out of the hospital last week, the one thing the doctor wanted me to do was take it easy. I figured that would be a simple thing to do. I quickly found out it wasn’t so simple. Even when I’m relaxing, I’m often multitasking. That’s how my brain works, and I'm trying to slow down. Things have been tough. I joked with the doctor and told him he didn’t have to worry about me running any marathons. But while I could work, and drive, and do most things without restriction, the rules were simple: take it easy. I’m not as active as I was years ago, and even over the last few years, I’ve slowed things down. But I didn’t realize just how difficult this new task would be… Click Here To Subscribe * Apple Podcasts * Spotify * Amazon Music * Google Podcasts * TuneIn * iHeartRadio * Pandora * Deezer * Blubrry * Bullhorn * CastBox * Castro * fyyd.de * Gaana * iVoox * Listen Notes * myTuner Radio * Overcast * OwlTail * Player.fm * PocketCasts * Podbay * Podbean * Podcast Addict * Podcast Index * Podcast Republic * Podchaser * Podfan * Podtail * Radio Public * Radio.com * Reason.fm * RSSRadio * Vurbl * We.fo * Yandex
When I was in the hospital last week, I got caught between two different departments that didn’t communicate. It felt like the right hand didn’t know what the left hand was doing. And I wondered where that phrase came from. It’s actually an adaptation of a Bible verse. Matthew 6:3 says, Do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. And the verse indicates that charitable action should be done in secret to avoid hypocrisy and the pursuit of public praise. Of course, my version is the modern-day version of that phrase. Where one team doesn’t know what the other one's doing, and that doesn’t work in a hospital, the office, or a myriad of places… Click Here To Subscribe * Apple Podcasts * Spotify * Amazon Music * Google Podcasts * TuneIn * iHeartRadio * Pandora * Deezer * Blubrry * Bullhorn * CastBox * Castro * fyyd.de * Gaana * iVoox * Listen Notes * myTuner Radio * Overcast * OwlTail * Player.fm * PocketCasts * Podbay * Podbean * Podcast Addict * Podcast Index * Podcast Republic * Podchaser * Podfan * Podtail * Radio Public * Radio.com * Reason.fm * RSSRadio * Vurbl * We.fo * Yandex
The Mason Minute is coming up on its 15th anniversary. We’ve done it day in and day out for almost the entire time. When a couple of friends convinced me to grab a microphone again after retiring from radio, I decided to do the podcast three or four times a week just for fun. But within the first week, I knew it had to be a daily thing. And we almost hit the 15-year mark. But if you pay any attention, we’ve missed the last three days at the doctor’s orders, due to some unforeseen circumstances. But what’s amazing is that up to this point, I never had anything in nearly 15 years that forced me to miss a day. Sadly, all that luck finally caught up with me… Click Here To Subscribe * Apple Podcasts * Spotify * Amazon Music * Google Podcasts * TuneIn * iHeartRadio * Pandora * Deezer * Blubrry * Bullhorn * CastBox * Castro * fyyd.de * Gaana * iVoox * Listen Notes * myTuner Radio * Overcast * OwlTail * Player.fm * PocketCasts * Podbay * Podbean * Podcast Addict * Podcast Index * Podcast Republic * Podchaser * Podfan * Podtail * Radio Public * Radio.com * Reason.fm * RSSRadio * Vurbl * We.fo * Yandex
I know the world is filled with entitled people. Or should I say, people who feel entitled? But have you noticed how the number keeps growing daily? I’ve had my moments throughout the years where I thought I was special. But it didn’t take long to learn that I wasn’t. We used to have a running joke about waiting for people to say, "Do you know who I am?" Sadly, that joke isn’t funny anymore; it’s often true. And this isn’t just enough knock on the world of politics or celebrities. Everyone feels this entitlement. Okay, maybe not everyone. But so many more people than ever before. I’m sure much of the hatred we are seeing in the world today is part of the reason it feels so extreme.

I doubt that this will shock you. But every time the winter Olympic Games happen, there’s a huge interest spike in winter sports. Things like ice hockey, skiing, ice-skating, and even curling get people hyped. They get so caught up in the games that they want to start experimenting with and trying those sports. But there's a problem we’re starting to face. Climate change is affecting the amount of ice and snow worldwide. That means these winter activities become more costly and offer fewer opportunities. It doesn’t matter whether you can find an indoor or outdoor rink; creating and maintaining the ice costs a lot of money.

We all deal with anger to varying degrees. But somewhere along the way, we’re told that venting our anger can help get past it. I don’t remember when I was first told to find ways to express my frustrations. Of course, we told screaming and yelling aren’t the answer. But the quicker you can let go of it, the better off you will be. But a recent study from Ohio State University says that venting your anger is the wrong approach. Instead, you need to find ways to manage it using calming tactics. The goal is to calm down, so activities like meditation, yoga, or even calling a time-out are better for you… Click Here To Subscribe * Apple Podcasts * Spotify * Amazon Music * Google Podcasts * TuneIn * iHeartRadio * Pandora * Deezer * Blubrry * Bullhorn * CastBox * Castro * fyyd.de * Gaana * iVoox * Listen Notes * myTuner Radio * Overcast * OwlTail * Player.fm * PocketCasts * Podbay * Podbean * Podcast Addict * Podcast Index * Podcast Republic * Podchaser * Podfan * Podtail * Radio Public * Radio.com * Reason.fm * RSSRadio * Vurbl * We.fo * Yandex
There are many controversial issues in the world right now. And vaccines are definitely included in that polarizing list of subjects. That fact hasn’t stopped Stanford researchers from working on a new vaccine. This nasal spray vaccine could protect against coughs, colds, and flu, as well as bacterial lung infections and perhaps allergies. We’re a long way from seeing it happen, as testing in lab mice is still going on, but this is a totally different way for vaccines to work. For hundreds of years, vaccines typically fought one thing and one thing only, which is why there were so many different vaccines. But this vaccine is meant to be different.

We all have different reasons to look forward to the weekend. And I often think it has to do with where we are in life that determines why we’re looking forward to it. When you’re younger, you’re just looking forward to getting a day off. Later, perhaps going out on a date, to a concert, or just to hang with friends. Then you get older, and you'll look forward to having time to travel, relax, or even sleep late. I think I’ve reached the point in life where sleeping late is the highlight of the weekend. If you do, it’s a great weekend. That’s literally the highlight. It means I have nothing to do, and at one point in my life, I would’ve been upset. Now I look forward to it… Click Here To Subscribe * Apple Podcasts * Spotify * Amazon Music * Google Podcasts * TuneIn * iHeartRadio * Pandora * Deezer * Blubrry * Bullhorn * CastBox * Castro * fyyd.de * Gaana * iVoox * Listen Notes * myTuner Radio * Overcast * OwlTail * Player.fm * PocketCasts * Podbay * Podbean * Podcast Addict * Podcast Index * Podcast Republic * Podchaser * Podfan * Podtail * Radio Public * Radio.com * Reason.fm * RSSRadio * Vurbl * We.fo * Yandex
Do you still have a printer along with your home computer? Or perhaps I should ask if you even have a home computer anymore? I got my first printer, a dot-matrix model, back in 1989. And while it was fun to have access to that technology at home, the cost for ribbons and ink kept rising. Over the years, I’ve gone from dot matrix to inkjet. But sadly, the expensive printer I have now is out of ink. It dried up a long time ago. I guess that’s what happens when you don’t use the equipment for a few years. Who prints anything anymore? Of course, I needed to print something for the first time in a long time yesterday.

As I said yesterday, when discussing the sad hours, any day that you can learn something is a good day. Well, I hit the motherlode by learning two things in the same article. First, the sad hours, and then about cognitive shuffling. For those who have trouble falling asleep or, in my case, getting back to sleep, cognitive shuffling might help. We all have problems sleeping throughout our lives, and many factors contribute to it. Like many, I find that the cause of my sleep issues isn't always the same.

I’ve often discussed my goal to learn something new every day. It doesn’t matter how big or how small, I just love learning, anything. The other day, I was reading an article about sleep, and I learned two things. It was two for the price of one. First, I learned about the sad hours. Now, perhaps for some, they’re like, " Have you been living under a rock? The sad hours happen between 1 and 5 AM, and it’s the time when many people, for lack of a better word, feel sadness, anxiety, stress, and other negative emotions. And those emotions can escalate in many ways.

I remember back in 1995 when the Internet popped into everyone's stream of consciousness. Everyone was trying to figure out how to use it and what they could do with it. People were still trying to understand browsers. Well, it didn’t really happen overnight. That perception reminds me of what we’re experiencing with artificial intelligence right now. AI has gone mainstream in just a short time. But for many, it’s still confusing. Most don’t know which tool to use, and when. I’ve been involved with AI for five years, and now use it almost every day at work. And I wish I could give you a definitive answer to the question, which tool?

Whenever someone finds out I produce a podcast, they ask me to describe it. And if you've listenedto the Mason Minute for any length of time, you know it’s not easy to explain. There’s no single topic or theme. It’s just my view of the world. Well, this week, someone has finally explained the podcast perfectly. The company that hosts my audio files, Blubrry, has named me their podcaster of the month. I’m not sure why, but I’m truly honored. And while they asked for a quick bio and a couple of lines describing the podcast, they built a blog post that perfectly explains what my 15-year labor of love has been about.

I’m getting up on my soapbox today, but don’t think this is some old man rant, because it’s not. This is the problem I’ve had most of my life. I talked about this briefly yesterday in my Road Warrior video blog. I realize products change all the time, but I get the feeling that companies don’t want to tell us when this happens, for fear we’ll switch to another product. The face wash I use every day has a new formula. It looks different. It feels different. It smells different. I know have a similar issue with the hand soap we use. I understand that due to regulations and costs, products sometimes have to change. But why do manufacturers hide those details from us?

I’m not someone who’s often accused of having trust issues. And I guess, that’s something I should be proud of. When you’ve been in a relationship as long as I have, you typically don’t think of things like that. Now, perhaps in my younger days, there was a time or two when it was questioned, but that was long ago. But the other day, I found myself in a situation that tested my trust. And, in complete honesty, I called myself out. This had nothing to do with another person; it actually might be considered irrational. But I don’t think it is. I found myself in an uncomfortable situation at the car wash.

It’s Valentine’s Day, a day that celebrates love and romance. And with that, you normally think of special songs, like love songs. For some reason, I often think of the Love Boat theme from the old TV show. It talks about love, that’s exciting and new. My love is not so new, and to me, that’s actually a good thing. Sure, when love is new, there is some excitement, but as time goes on and love changes, it becomes something more special. Perhaps not as romantic or passionate, but the feelings are much more intense. They're deep.

Home shopping channels have been a TV craze for decades. But it looks like the remaining players will be filing for bankruptcy shortly. QVC and HSN's days are numbered thanks to the Internet. They can’t survive. I remember friends who were obsessed with the home shopping channels back in the 80s. They would watch for hours and hours on end. Now that we can shop for anything online, there really is no point to TV shopping channels. In my lifetime, we’ve gone from downtown shopping districts to shopping centers to enclosed shopping malls.

The NFL unofficially wrapped up the season yesterday. Sure, the big game was on Sunday, but yesterday the Seattle Seahawks had their Super Bowl parade. But many people throughout the area weren’t able to celebrate. The city of Seattle announced that any student missing school yesterday would be issued an unexcused absence. And while I understand the school system taking the hard line, I’m sure there are many disappointed children. For the last few years, the cities of Kansas City and Philadelphia have looked the other way when students miss school on the day of their parade.

There’s a TikTok video that looks to be going viral. Now that happens often, but the one thing that stood out to me was a video from a father of three here in Nashville. I read about the video online. His premise is that he’s no longer welcome at fast food restaurants like McDonald’s and Taco Bell. He feels restaurants are discouraging indoor dining and are encouraging you to use DoorDash or the drive-through window. Heel pines for the days when McDonald’s was fun like it was in his youth. And I understand his frustration. A lot has changed since COVID-19. And as the world changes, many restaurants and retailers are trying to adapt.

Long before it was a movie, Groundhog Day always made me chuckle. It’s silly to think that so many people could be upset by whether a rodent sees their shadow or not. And of course, last week, when Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, for some reason, that means six more weeks of winter. Now we all know the season technically lasts six more weeks. But at this point, everybody is tired of snow, or in our case, ice. Most Winters aren’t horrible here in Nashville, but we seem to have one storm of some kind each and every year.

When people ask me how I like my job, I tell them I’ve never worked harder in my life. My careers in radio and the music business could be intense, sometimes frantic, but with both, there was always a lot of downtime. You wouldn’t think that working for an advertising agency would be quite as demanding. But it is. I go nonstop for eight hours a day, and by the time I get home, I’m tired. I grab my dinner, try to relax a bit, and then try to put the daily podcast together. But I find many nights when I should be winding down, I get a second wind.

You know what day it is. It’s the day of that big Bad Bunny concert. I guess "concert" isn’t the right word; perhaps I should say ‘performance'. Bad Bunny, who almost everybody in the world knows, is performing the halftime show at this year's Super Bowl. While I’m not a fan of his music, I have no problem with him performing. In fact, I rarely pay attention to the halftime show anyway. I know for some people it’s a big part of the event. The Super Bowl is more than just a football game.

Let me pose a question. Are nostalgia and history exclusive of one another? No, I’m not talking about feeling nostalgic, I’m talking about nostalgia, the love of things that are old. If people love nostalgia, do they also love history? I don’t know the answer, but I do know that most people who don’t like history aren’t fond of looking back. I love nostalgia. I love old pictures. I love stories of nearly anything from back in the day. I loved history as a subject in school and always enjoyed delving into it in depth to learn more than just the basics I had been taught.

Do you ever have a situation where you think the issue is probably more in your mind than it is in reality? Let me explain. For some reason, our house feels colder when it’s 40° outside than when it’s 20° outside. And it’s not like we’re changing the thermostat. During the winter months, we keep our house consistently at 66°. But I find the house feels colder when it’s 40 outside than when it’s 20. Technically, the thermostat reads 66°, just like it should, but it doesn’t feel the same. I like to think that because the heat pump isn’t running when it’s a little bit warmer, it doesn’t circulate the air as much.

When you think of wildlife, you don’t often think of Nashville. Okay, perhaps you think of the wildlife that’s happening on Lower Broadway, but Nashville isn’t known as a rural area. But, as I can attest, we still have lots of animals within the city limits. Within just a few miles of my house, many families of deer, a few coyotes, and even some water buffalo on a nearby farm that do escape every now and then. But I learned just the other day, February is the most dangerous month for wildlife. Because of the weather, the daylight conditions, and the beginning of mating season, many of these wild animals are in areas they don’t normally travel.

One of my old bosses used to say that nobody likes change except for a wet baby. I always knew what he meant and agreed, to a point. One thing I’ve realized is that most change is a slow process. It happens behind the scenes when we’re not paying attention. When we notice, the change seems abrupt. The way we watch sports on television is changing. I should say it’s constantly changing.

The Winter Olympics are almost here. They begin in a couple of days, with curling among the first events. I’m not the biggest Olympic fan, but I do keep track of what’s going on. One thing I wondered about recently is why some sports, like figure skating, wait until the last minute to announce the Olympic participants. The figure skaters who will represent the US were announced a couple of weeks ago. To me, that seems like very short notice.

Yesterday, I was listening to a playlist on Spotify. And one of my favorite country songs, that many have forgotten, was on the playlist. It was Steve Earle’s ‘I Ain’t Ever Satisfied'. And naturally, it got me to thinking. As Americans, or for that matter, even as humans, is satisfaction possible? I’ve always viewed myself as a perfectionist. That’s both good and bad. One of the bad parts is that even when something goes well, I’m never totally satisfied. I’m always looking for ways to improve, to make it better. Is this just a problem here in America, or is it a human condition worldwide?

I often see jokes on social media, talking about people wearing pajamas when they shop at places like Walmart. Now, I will admit it’s not actually a place where people dress up to be seen. But often times, the people you see there may be wearing what they sleep in, but it’s not necessarily pajamas. But the other day, when we were shopping there, I saw at least two people wearing full winter pajamas as they pushed their shopping cart down the aisle. The meme had come to life. It was apparent that those people didn’t care.

I finally got a haircut yesterday. I know it shouldn’t be a big deal, but just finding the time in my schedule is often a challenge. There’s one thing that’s fascinated me about getting haircuts for a long time. And that’s the difference between a barbershop and a beauty salon. While very different, they’re actually very similar in vibe. Does that make sense? Now, I get my haircut at one of those chain locations that caters to both men and women. And the salon talk is kind of a cross between a barbershop and a beauty salon, because it’s a little bit of both.

Experts say you can tell a lot about a person by how cluttered their life is. For some, it’s a cluttered office or a messy car. I’m guilty of the former, but not the latter. I don’t know why, but I’ve never liked trash in my car. You’ll never find empty cans or fast food bags on my floorboards. I don’t wash my car often enough, but I keep the interior pretty clean.

But I had a regularly scheduled doctor's appointment to get to. Many of the roads were much better than I expected. As expected, it was a little bit rough getting out of our neighborhood, but one thing that shocked me was the number of cars on the road and the speed at which they were driving.

Recently, the government changed the famed food pyramid, which guides us on where to focus our diet. I can’t tell you how many times in my life they’ve tweaked this pyramid. Some of it is common sense, and some of it is political. It always has been that way. Now it looks like protein is more important than it has been recently. I wonder if this change in the food pyramid has also prompted some restaurants to introduce new menu items. Have you seen the commercials from Subway and Chipotle promoting their protein options? Perhaps they’re tied to this change in the food pyramid. Or perhaps it’s just a big coincidence… Click Here To Subscribe * Apple Podcasts * Spotify * Amazon Music * Google Podcasts * TuneIn * iHeartRadio * Pandora * Deezer * Blubrry * Bullhorn * CastBox * Castro * fyyd.de * Gaana * iVoox * Listen Notes * myTuner Radio * Overcast * OwlTail * Player.fm * PocketCasts * Podbay * Podbean * Podcast Addict * Podcast Index * Podcast Republic * Podchaser * Podfan * Podtail * Radio Public * Radio.com * Reason.fm * RSSRadio * Vurbl * We.fo * Yandex
Being featured on the national news can be both a blessing and a curse. Nashville is often featured nationally. Sometimes it’s good, but often the news is negative. Yesterday, we made the news for the number of power outages we had on Sunday. The storm that blanketed the US didn’t hit as hard initially. We only got a couple of inches of snow, but the ice that followed didn’t make things any better. It didn’t seem like much ice, but it was just enough to take down trees and powerlines and cause tremendous headaches for our power company. Their biggest challenge is replacing broken power poles. And it's even worse in this weather….

I know this is a silly question, but when you’re making Campbell’s Tomato Soup, what liquid do you use as instructed on the can? Some people use a full can of water, others, a full can of milk, and then some half-and-half. I’ve actually done all three options throughout the years. My preference is a full can of milk, but I can’t do that anymore since I don’t process the dairy as well as I used to. Many just use water, but to me, the flavor is lacking when you go that route. Recently, I’ve gone to the half milk, half water option. It’s not perfect, but it works for me. And it keeps me warm when we’ve got snow, ice, and cold weather...
Earlier this week, the TV weather people started waving red flags, telling us that severe weather was on the way. It could be snow, ice, or a combination of both. They just didn’t know. But still, we wait. As I learned a long time ago, you can never predict when these weather events will start. Originally, the severe weather was supposed to come through on Friday, but it kept getting pushed back. We’re still waiting to figure out what’s going to happen, but here in Tennessee, we're really just waiting to find out how bad it’s going to be...

Please don’t be concerned with the title of today’s podcast. I promise there is nothing political about this. It actually has to do with a meme that is circulating on social media. I have a feeling it’s more about getting people to engage with a post than it really has any significant value. This meme always starts with the phrase, 'Most Americans'. And there are numerous versions. It always has some stat that involves something that we do or don’t do. And every time I see it, I wonder where they got this information. It can be about states, restaurants, or a whole host of things that we supposedly have or haven’t done...

I understand a lot is going on in our world these days. But I haven’t seen any news stories about this, and that surprises me. A few months back, I had an issue with a package taking three weeks to get from my accountant to my mailbox. It’s just 2 miles away. And Nashville‘s main post office is directly between our two locations. But it’s not just me. I have friends who didn’t get their Christmas packages in time for the holidays. Plus, my parents sent my sister a holiday package that didn’t reach her until last week. Does the Postal Service no longer want our package business? Sure, package delays happen, but I have a feeling this is a bigger issue...

The mood here in Nashville has shifted over the last couple of days. You can feel the panic as the weather people tell us we could see severe weather over the weekend. Sure, TV meteorologists love to incite panic. I usually don’t pay any attention to these things. Still, when I saw news online yesterday about Atlanta preparing for severe winter weather, I knew we had the potential for the same. We expect not only several inches of snow but also ice. While I don’t enjoy the snow, I can deal with it. But when we start getting ice, it shuts everything down. So it’s time to prepare. And you know we aren’t the only ones...

Over the last few months, I’ve talked more about sports than I usually do. Here in the US, it’s big business. And it has been for years, but the metrics keep growing. The price of winning in professional or college sports grows exponentially. Yesterday, I woke up to the news that the Buffalo Bills had fired their head coach. After nearly a decade of winning seasons, it still wasn’t enough. He didn’t make it to the Super Bowl, let alone win the Super Bowl, and that was unacceptable. Our winning has always been important; today, there are no excuses for not winning everything all the time...

Today is Dolly Parton‘s birthday. It’s her 80th. And the governor has proclaimed that it’s Dolly Parton Day. That makes some people very happy, and it’s rubbed others the wrong way. Because it’s also a federal holiday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day. And of course, this is getting political. Some in Tennessee would rather we celebrate Dolly Parton every year rather than MLK. Many wonder whether this was made political on purpose or by coincidence. It’s sad that the world still has to make a federal holiday into an argument about race relations. The question was whether this was coincidental or on purpose...

For most of us, the first time we eat cheese, it’s usually bright orange in color and wrapped in plastic, and not really cheese. After that, most of us encounter it coming out of a green cylinder that we shake over pasta. Many of us call it Parmesan cheese, but representatives from the Parmesan region in Italy want to change that. Because they feel that’s not an accurate representation of Parmigiano-Reggiano. In Europe, the only cheese called Parmesan comes from that specific region. But here in the US, we take liberties with the term. And their worldwide marketing group wants to change that...

On Thursday, Verizon Wireless users suffered a nearly day-long outage in many parts of the country. Sadly, it’s not the first outage for a major cell phone service. I understand that technology is constantly changing and improving, but at some point, we have to face reality. Many people can’t afford one, let alone another outage. So much of our life has become cell phone and Internet-dependent. And a while ago, the services were considered luxuries; they’re necessities. There needs to be systems in place to prevent outages like this. These are not just personal tools; they are business tools, and for some, lifelines...

It may seem simple, but I know a few people who wish we’d go back to the old days when we had just four or five television stations to watch. Those days are long gone, and that’s both good and bad. We do have a lot of choices these days, and for many, the question is straightforward: cable or streaming? For the last few decades, cable television was one of our only options. But the costs continue to rise every year. In the last few years, streaming services have debuted, and while many people prefer cord-cutting, the fact that no service has everything we want frustrates many. The biggest concern is with prices. No matter which choice you make, prices keep rising...

If you’re a college sports fan, for decades, you’ve likely followed the story of whether to pay the athletes. Of course, everything changed just a couple of years ago, and now student athletes can sometimes be paid up to half a million per year to play a sport. Of course, the majority of those players are men and played football or basketball. But the effect of this money has changed the two primary sports in different ways. Basketball players rarely stay in college, let alone the same college for more than a year. In football, some players move from school to school, while others don’t want to leave at all...
If you’re like me, you spend a lot of time on social media. Perhaps too much. And one of the hassles of social media is all the ads we see in our feeds. But do you ever feel inclined to comment on an ad that you don’t care about? In my work for my social clients, I see this every day. Many people keep scrolling, but lately I see more people stopping and leaving nasty comments. It really has nothing to do with the ad or the product; it’s usually just trying to get people into an argument. When we watch TV, we experience ads all the time. And most people either change the channel or ignore them. But on social media, it's much different...

Because of my media and marketing background, I tend to view life through a 'commercial' lens. I sometimes pay more attention to the ads and promotional announcements than to the TV show or the performance on the field. I’m a long-time NASCAR fan and understand the unique way the sport has tried to create promotional opportunities. They’ve always placed sponsor logos on everything. In recent years, the NBA has added sponsor logos to its jerseys. And I’ve always been amused by something that becomes the official sponsor of a sport, a team, or an event. But I sometimes think we go overboard with all of these sponsorships...

The first round of the NFL playoffs wrapped up tonight. It’s called the Wild Card round. And that rubs me the wrong way. While yes, every wildcard team plays, so do the majority of division-winning teams. I understand branding and marketing. I’ve been involved with that almost my entire life. So I understand why they have a name. I don’t know why it’s the wild card. In baseball, the wildcard round only involves those teams that didn’t win the division. Perhaps there’s a better name for this first round of the playoffs. Next week, it’s the divisional round, which makes a little more sense...

I’ve had a long fascination with coffee drinkers. I only drink casually, usually as an after-dinner beverage, if I drink any at all. Unlike most people, I don’t start my day with a cup, or two, or three. But yesterday, as we were driving down the road, I noticed a new Starbucks, less than a half mile north of another one. Same road, but at least they’re on separate sides of the street. But what fascinates me is when you stop for coffee, how do you know which brand to try? Is it trial and error? These days, we have so many options from convenience stores to donut shops to places that are specialists. People have so many choices...

There’s a big difference between a good burger and a great burger. For many, myself included, hamburgers have been a staple of my diet since I was a youngster. Back in the day, they were cheap and easy meals. Everybody knows some of the first fast-food restaurants were hamburger joints. One of the West Coast‘s favorite burgers is from In-N-Out Burger. They recently opened their first locations here in Middletown, Tennessee. And many people were excited. They were so thrilled, they stood in line for hours to grab an Animal-style Double-Double.

Everyone knows that Nashville is growing. It’s been growing rapidly for the last 20 years. And it’s still moving at a quick pace. But as the city grows, businesses sometimes struggle. Honestly, it’s hard to keep up with the companies that come and go in this town. For a long time, there was a running joke that when a business closed, it was often replaced by a check cashing store, a vape shop, or a mattress store. There seem to be more of those than convenience stores in this town, but not really. But recently, a new category of store has joined the business-replacement craze. Now it looks like CBD stores are popping up on every corner, too...

Have you noticed that there aren’t as many dry cleaners in town as there used to be? I realize, as trends come and go, businesses can be affected by those changes. Years ago, people wore suits and ties to the office. And for those who could dress a little bit more casually, it was a nice pair of slacks and a dress shirt. But those times are long gone. And the pandemic made the change even more finite. Now, everyone dresses casually or works from home. And when you do that, how you dress doesn’t matter.

I see all of those TV commercials that remind me I should grow old gracefully. And when I appreciate the spirit, they’re obviously created by young people. There’s nothing graceful about growing old. Of course, it’s essential to pay attention to your health, but it’s the little things that bother us most. For men, it’s bushy eyebrows and hair growing out of our ears. And for both men and women, liver spots and dry skin. Recently, I’ve had a few more dry patches show up on my hands. My hands used to be my best feature.

Would a no-shoes policy at your office make you want to spend more time there? Many office settings continue to struggle as people still prefer working from home. So some startup companies have decided that having employees leave their shoes at the door and walk around the office in their stocking feet, their bare feet, or even in slippers would make it feel more like working from home. It’s not happening in many places, but some larger companies are willing to consider it if they can get their employees to return to work full-time rather than working from home...

Yesterday, I was talking about foods that aren’t as popular today as they were years ago. Sandwich spreads like Braunschweiger still exist, but are often hard to find. Another favorite from my youth that still exists but isn’t usually carried in supermarkets is Underwood Deviled Ham. Potted meat like Deviled Ham isn’t as popular today. Spam is still easy to find, but things like Vienna Sausages, Underwood Chicken Spread, and a whole lot of other canned meats have fallen out of favor.

The popularity of certain foods comes and goes. Sure, there are some foods that everyone wants for a brief moment, only to disappear quickly. But then other foods have been staples for decades upon decades, only to disappear as well. But you don’t realize it because you haven’t thought about them in a long time. One of those foods I grew up on is braunschweiger. Many people know it is liver sausage, and at one time it was popular. I didn’t eat it a lot, but enjoyed it into my teens. I had a taste for it the other day and found out that while it’s still around, it’s impossible to find in stores...

Since the dawn of the Internet, the way we communicate in writing with people has changed significantly. Email communications have replaced letters. We now pay our bills online rather than putting them in an envelope and stamping them. And while snail mail still exists, we don’t use it as often anymore. Most of us don’t even know the price of a stamp these days. But recently, the US Postal Service changed how they postmark mail, and while it won’t matter for most items, if you need something postmarked by a specific date, that could become an issue...

The new year is upon us. 2026 is finally here. But many people, myself included, are worried about what the coming year will bring. The midterm elections will be a primary focus on social media throughout the majority of the year. And it doesn’t matter your politics, it’s going to be very contentious. If you’ve had a hard time being on social media over the last couple of years, I fear 2026 will test your patience. Both sides have so much to gain and so much to lose.

If you’re a college football fan, you have to be frustrated with all the sponsors associated with the sport. It’s not enough that the traditional bowl games now all have sponsors in addition to the bowl game name. There are also sponsors for the bowl series, and ESPN’s association with the sport. And that doesn’t include stadiums, betting apps, halftime shows, the entire college football season, and more. I understand we’re all tired of advertising. We have been bombarded by ads our whole lives. But I know many feel sponsorships are getting out of hand, too...

The time between Christmas and New Year's is one we often use to reflect and prepare. Who you are and where you are in life determine how much time you spend reflecting or preparing for the coming year. These days, I’m always running behind. I didn’t use to be that way, but even with all the excellent tools we now have, I’m still busier than I ever have been. And that means catching up on everything that needed to be done before the new year. That means preparation has to wait, usually until the last minute.

Technically, we’re just a week into the winter season. And the weather here in Middle Tennessee has been strange. Yesterday, our high was in the 70s. Today, we'll be lucky to reach 40 degrees. Last night, right before I went to bed, the temperature dropped 20 degrees in the span of about 15 minutes. The cold front coming through has made me very uncomfortable. Since we haven’t had a hard freeze, my allergies and sinus congestion are in full force. I have these sinus issues every year about this time.

Every day as I head into the office, I see a reminder that pro sports is big business. All I have to do is look at the brand new Nashville football stadium to realize how important sports are to our economy. We’ve spent more time worrying about a beautiful stadium than we have about putting a good team on the field. But right now, in football and basketball, they keep focusing more on offense. Anything to encourage more points on the scoreboard is an option. In the NBA, I remember when they finally added the three-point shot. It was all about scoring, but soon that may not be enough...

It seems like you can’t go anywhere without hearing people complain about Baby Boomers, Millennials, or Gen X. It doesn’t matter what the story is. While we all share some similarities as human beings, each generation has values that are slightly different. Today, we only hear good things about the Greatest Generation, but I’m sure Baby Boomers thought differently as they were growing up. While Millennials are a popular target for Baby Boomers today, that will soon fade. The generations may change, but the complaining always seems the same...

Through the years, I’ve been accused of being a know-it-all. And while I do know a lot of strange things, I learned long ago that knowledge of many subjects can pay off at a cocktail party, especially during a news interview. There are some subjects that, no matter how hard I try, I retain no knowledge of because I genuinely have no interest. One of those subjects is perfume. I guess you could lump cologne in with that, too. I’m not a big fan of either; I've never had any desire to learn about them.

For many people, most of the planning is over. Everything‘s been set up, and it’s almost time for the big holiday meal. The one thing that young people look forward to on Christmas is the chance to sit with the adults at the dinner table. If you have a big family, you often have to sit at the kiddie table. That can last for years upon years. And most kids don’t enjoy that. I didn't have a big family growing up, so I never had to deal with it. But when given a chance, sitting with the youngsters was always my choice. I’d rather sit with the kids and enjoy their company than hang with the adults...

Have you ever noticed that there is no traditional Christmas dinner? Sure, we all eat. But what? For the most part, turkey is what everyone eats on Thanksgiving. On Easter, it’s ham. But it doesn’t seem that anyone agrees on what should be on our Christmas dinner table. One of my favorites is lasagna. But we’re having that tomorrow. Tonight, I think one of my nephews is making Beef Wellington. Every year on our table, it’s something different.

Have you noticed how the Grinch is more popular than usual this year? Of course, I talked about the McDonald’s Grinch Meal a while back. But I’ve noticed more people dressing as the Grinch this year. We had the Grinch stop by our office last week. One of my nephews wants to dress up in a costume for the amusement of the younger nieces and nephews. There were rumors that they were working on an update to the Jim Carrey film from years ago. But that’s only a rumor. This year is no big anniversary.

What’s your holiday style? With all of the extra parties and family gatherings throughout the month, many of us have to plan our wardrobe. The office Christmas party is definitely one activity where people plan how they’re going to dress. Some prefer fancy suits or dresses. Others go for the Christmas sweater. And some have no designated style, but don’t wanna look out of place. I remember back in the day when Christmas parties meant you had to wear a suit and a tie. But in the end, it really doesn’t matter. Most of us want to fit in. And for many, the quicker the season is over, the happier they are...

For the last couple of years, I’ve been curious as to how the world settled on the name Karen to represent a middle-aged white woman of privilege. I remember first hearing it when the internet showed images of a man and a woman in St. Louis holding guns as people marched down their street. Somehow, the Internet called them Karen and Ken, and the terms escalated from there. Well, now, Gen Z has determined there needs to be a different term for a younger white woman with privilege. There are a couple of names rising to the top, but right now one stands out...

Today is one of those days. I’m feeling old. Now, technically, I guess I can be considered old, but I don’t feel that way every day. Sometimes the aches and pains of living make me feel that way. Other times, there are outside triggers. For example, today is my mother‘s birthday. She turns 86. And I’m blessed that she’s still healthy and living the good life with my father in Florida. But every year on her birthday, I realize how much time has passed. My mother had me when she was 21, and it’s hard to believe all that we’ve been through together and separately.

What’s the old saying? You can take the boy out of the newsroom, but you can’t take the newsroom out of the boy. Okay, maybe that’s not exactly the quote. But that's what I’m feeling right now. I’ve been watching the numerous news conferences regarding the shooting at Brown University and the murder of the MIT professor. Of course, last night we found out they were both done by the same person. But I’ve been fascinated by how poor the questions from the news reporters at these press conferences are. They’re asking questions that law enforcement can’t answer, or would never answer. The media should know better than that...

I know I’ve talked about this before, but as we approach the new year, everyone wants to jump on some sort of year-in-review feature. Spotify has been doing its year-end recap, called Wrapped, for the last couple of years. Many people look forward to it. But have you seen your YouTube Year In Review yet? I didn’t know there was such a thing until it appeared in my dashboard last week. My video is almost 8 minutes long and basically describes every type of video I watched this year.

Tonight is the night that some office workers love and some hate. It’s our office holiday party. And this year, we were given choices. We could’ve done the downtown Nashville big-hotel party, a smaller yet fancy office party, or what we’ve done the last few years: smaller groups enjoying a night at one of our high-end restaurants. The fancy office party was the winner. From what I heard, the vote was very close. I think it all depends on where you are in life. Many of us have done the fancy hotel parties before. Some prefer the intimacy of the dine around. But the office get-together is probably the one that works for most people...

I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know. But our world today is very judgmental. For the longest time, many people aspired to be middle class. But today, those who are having a difficult time holding on. And those who want to be, they're losing hope. The rich keep getting richer, while everyone else loses hope. We all want more, but many of us see fewer opportunities to grow our wealth. I’ve seen a trend and articles recently that tried to point out the difference between those with money and those without.

I don’t think I’ve actually seen any ads for this, but I've heard a lot of people talking about it. McDonald’s has a new Grinch Meal, which is like an adult Happy Meal. It came out earlier this month and is available for a limited time. Of course, every Happy Meal comes with a prize, and this one does too: a pair of Grinch socks. What fascinates me most is that I have friends who never eat fast food, but a few have already gone to McDonald’s just because they’re interested in this meal.

I know I’ve talked about this subject previously on the podcast. But have you noticed how many charities try to encourage you to donate by offering free blankets? Off the top of my head, I can think of two or three charities that always have the blanket promotion going on. Give them a $19 monthly donation, and they'll give you a free blanket. But in recent weeks, I’ve noticed even more charities doing the same thing. I wonder why so many groups have chosen to offer a blanket. And who figured out the monthly donation price?

I finally get why older generations always have a bit of an attitude toward young people. Now that I’m older, I realize that the more we think things change, the more they really don’t. For Gen Z, when it comes to dating, compatibility matters. That’s nothing new. But one of their biggest concerns is the swag gap. It’s all about style. Having a compatible style with someone is essential. Back in my dating days, we didn’t have a cool word for it like swag. We just talked about style and compatibility.

One of the minor hassles of this time of year, almost no matter where you live, is ice on the windshield. I know it’s worse in the northern part of the US, but down south it's a hassle, too. There are lots of hacks to help you remove that ice in the morning, and most work to some degree. But outside of keeping your vehicle in the garage, there’s not much you can do to avoid it. It may not be every day, but it usually seems to be on a day when you’re running late. Of course, we park both of our vehicles outside, so we do everything we can to avoid scraping our windshields...

They often say, We don’t appreciate the simple things in life. And yes, that’s true to a point. And every now and then, you’re reminded of that fact. I’ve been in a bad mood for the last 8 to 10 days. I couldn’t explain it, but chalked it up to the stress of the holiday season. But yesterday, I realized that wasn’t the case at all. There was one thing missing from the last 8 to 10 days: the sun. I couldn’t tell you the last time we had sunshine. It had been cold and dreary for the last couple of weeks, but when I looked at my window yesterday, the world seemed a little brighter. And it quickly made sense...

I’ve been a collector for over 50 years. I’ve had a wide variety of collections, and love the thrill of the hunt. I don't spend as much time buying anymore. I'm selling. I have friends who do their own sort of collecting, except they do that at thrift stores. They love thrifting, but when the economy dives, it’s tough for them to find great bargains. That’s because more people spend time in thrift stores when times are tight. Sure, you can find deals, you can find bargains, but it’s harder to find true treasures. When times are tight, thrift stores are packed with shoppers because people in real need are there looking for things to keep their lives going...

We’re all worried about our bank balance right now. The economy is causing many people significant turmoil. And no matter whether the president agrees or not, affordability is a key issue for most families. Experts, economists, and stock market analysts use indicators to determine how things are going. Of course, they all look to the current prices of many family staples: milk, eggs, and ground beef. But they also looked at the performance of some companies on the stock market as indicators of just how well we’re doing or not doing. And a couple of these indicators might surprise you...

This time of year can be stressful for many—especially those of us who have lots of people to buy gifts for. My wife usually starts asking our nieces and nephews for Christmas lists around Halloween. And we’re lucky to have those lists in place by the time December rolls around. There’s one thing I’ve noticed over the years that’s different from the days when I had to make lists for my family. Kids today don’t understand how price matters. My parents made sure I knew there were limits to what I could put on my list. I had to pay attention to how much something costs...

I don't know many people who don't love pizza. It feels like a universal food. While I understand some people have food allergies, I can't imagine life without it. But in recent years, I've found I can walk away from it if it doesn't have the toppings I like. Back in my younger days, I couldn't count the number of friends I helped move just for free pizza and beer. It didn't matter what was on the pizza. It was free food, so it was good. But as I've gotten older, I've realized there are only certain things I want on top, and most of the time I prefer just cheese.

Music has been a part of my life for a very long time. Long before I got to the radio business. I spent decades collecting cassettes, and begrudgingly adapted to CDs long after most people did. But when Spotify launched in the US in 2011, I signed up. I have a love-hate relationship with streaming. I miss holding something in my hand, reading all the things that came with physical media. But I do enjoy how Spotify has turned your listening habits into a data-driven experience. At the end of each year, they give you a stats package called Wrapped. And this year, they added a new stat, your listening age. And in just a few days, people are buzzing about it...

The Oxford English Dictionary has named the phrase rage bait as its word of the year. And if you’ve spent any time on social media over the last couple of years, you know what rage bait is all about. So much of the content sent your way, thanks to the algorithm, is designed to elicit anger or outrage. And honestly, to get you to spend more time online. Many social media sites have found the way to keep you engaged is to make you angry. Sure, you can hide all of these inflammatory posts, or you can even stop using sites that upset you.

I know it’s an overused phrase, and I promise I won’t shout it at you. But I can’t help but think about Tom Cruise in the movie Jerry Maguire when I think about college football today. Yes, all I keep repeating is show me the money. So many people are upset about all the college coaches moving from school to school, counting their millions. And while it’s not happening right away, the players will be doing the same thing over the next month and a half. College football has changed. Because now, not only is the NCAA making money, but the coaches and players are too. And that means you have to get it while you can. And obviously, that upsets some longtime fans...

Nashville is buzzing right now because three of our restaurants were just awarded Michelin stars. They're the first restaurants in Nashville ever featured in the Michelin Guide. I'm not one of those people who pay too much attention to the Guide, the AAA Diamond ratings, or anything fancy like that. I've eaten at restaurants with stars and diamonds. The meals were terrific, but I've never been too concerned with what the critics think. I understand why these restaurants seek notoriety, but can this system be gamed?.

Anniversaries, big or small, are something worth celebrating. And when you celebrate 100 years of anything, amazing doesn't even do the superlative justice. Nashville's famed Grand Ole Opry celebrated 100 years late last week, and even if you're not a country music fan, witnessing it live is truly something special. Sure, it's on TV today in some places, but the fact that it's been an ongoing radio show for 100 years is mind-boggling. It's something that both reflects the past yet celebrates the future, and even an old cynic like me truly marvels at the accomplishment...

Yesterday, I talked about all of the grocery store displays of Chex cereals around the holidays so people can make homemade Chex Mix. Of course, there's something else people make with the Chex cereal this time of year, and that's Muddy Buddies. You might also know them as Puppy Chow or Reindeer Chow. Sure, they may be known by a few different names. But anytime you mix chocolate, peanut butter, and powdered sugar with Chex cereals, you get a tasty treat. The only downside is the fact that they're so messy. They're delicious, but you'll definitely need to keep plenty of napkins on hand...

If you've been to the grocery store lately, I'm sure you've seen the displays of all the Chex cereals. It happens every year around this time because so many people like to make Chex Mix for the holidays. You can buy it prepackaged in a bag year-round, but we all know it's not the same thing. And while I don't mind the Chex Mix, I actually still prefer it as a breakfast cereal. I've been eating Wheat Chex, Corn Chex, and Rice Chex for a long time. They're some of my favorite breakfast cereals. And the best part, they still taste the same as they did back in my younger days...

It’s taken a while, but the weather is finally starting to turn. It’s been a very mild autumn this year. So many people love to see the fall leaves change color. And in some parts of the country, it’s happened on its normal schedule. But this year, at least in our area, the changes happened quickly. Of course, many blame that on climate change. And no doubt had an impact, but it seems we went from green leaves on the trees to brown leaves on the ground in just a couple of weeks.

Are you looking for a little tidbit for conversation around the Thanksgiving dinner table today? Perhaps you can talk about the meme that’s been circulating on social media for the last month. There are different variations, but they all show you nine pictures of Thanksgiving food items. And the theme of this meme is that one has to go. The pictures aren’t always the same, but you usually see turkey, potatoes, rolls, pie, green bean casserole, and cranberry sauce. It’s interesting to think about which one you choose. It’s pretty silly, but it could make for some interesting discussion. I know which I would prefer, but it wouldn’t make my wife very happy...

I’ve long made it my goal to learn something new, even a minor thing, every day. I learned something the other day that I only understood in concept. I didn’t know that there was a word actually to describe this situation. It’s called algospeak. It’s a list of secret phrases that you can’t use on social media. There is no place where you can find these words; you just have to learn about them on your own. It’s almost like an urban legend, but it’s real. Algospeak is built around the idea that your social media algorithms hide content that uses words and phrases they don’t want you to use. Life would be much easier if this were out in the open...

The Department of Transportation thinks we have a problem with air travel. It has nothing to do with a shortage of air traffic controllers. It’s about how we conduct ourselves. They’re worried about our travel etiquette. The government envisions air travel returning to the way it was in the 1950s, when people dressed up to fly. All of this really has to do with unruly passengers and the number of incidents on airplanes over the last decade or so. And while the number of unruly passengers actually peaked in 2021, they are still double what they were prior to the pandemic.

I'm always finding things on the Internet that will send me down a rabbit hole. A simple story can keep me researching for hours. For example, the other day I was reading about the nuances of being a Baby Boomer, a Gen Xer, a Gen Zer, and a Millennial. And the one thing it noted was that Gen Z and Millennials don't like canned tuna fish, while it's still a popular choice among Baby Boomers. And while I can't speak for every member of the baby boom, I still love canned tuna. I love a great tuna steak, but a can of tuna makes a fine snack.

There was nothing special inside. But in the last couple of weeks, the emails have been fast and furious, and the savings have been fantastic.

Outside of politics, one of the most talked-about subjects this year has been artificial intelligence. And even that has political aspects. Too many, it's something brand new and something they're just encountering online. But engineers, designers, and experts have been working on AI for a long time. And already some people are tired of it. It's impacted social media to the point that some people have coined a term for the negative aspects of this technology: AI slop.

It's hard to believe we're just 40 days away from the end of the year. And that means all of the year-end lists and 2025 accolades are starting to come our way. I actually get excited about these silly things. Because, when you look back, they truly explain the year that was, or in this case, the one that is. The Cambridge Dictionary has announced its word of the year: parasocial. While it didn't have anything to do with social media initially, it does today. It explains the phenomenon of people thinking they're connected with celebrities or characters from TV shows, movies, or books; people they genuinely don't know in real life...

The economy is putting a lot of strain on many people. And the current state of politics plays into that. But many businesses are still trying to recover from pandemic-related losses. Some companies try to push the extremes to increase profits. Others do it as a form of survival. But these businesses often push things too far. Panera Bread has admitted they’ve pushed things too far and is now reversing course. They reduced portion sizes, increased costs, and cut back on staff. These changes have caused them to lose customers and profit. So they’re admitting they made a mistake and hoping to reverse this slide...

Back in my younger days, when I came of legal drinking age, the choices were pretty simple. You had beer, you had wine, and you had liquor. Of course, there were different flavors and brands, but you basically had three distinct choices. Today, I can't even count the number of options we have. In addition to beer, wine, and liquor, we now have hard seltzer, hard cider, and something called hard soda. It's one of the newer choices in adult beverages. But is it really that new? Because when you learn all about it, you realize it's just like Zima, which made a brief appearance in the mid-'90s. One of these new hard sodas is trying to make a splash here in Nashville, and it is likely targeting our Lower Broadway tourist area...

There's been an ongoing debate dating back at least to the 1970s. And it all involves your dishwasher. The hot topic? Should you rinse your dishes before you put them in the dishwasher? The experts finally come up with a definitive answer. Of course, the answer isn't definitive because there are always exceptions to the rule. The good news is that, for the most part, you don't have to pre-rinse anything. But I should put an asterisk next to that answer, because that rule doesn't pertain to everyone. While the technology has improved, you'll need to determine whether you can follow this rule every time you load your dishwasher...

Have you ever noticed that every vehicle key fob is different? I don't mean the size or shape, I'm talking about the placement of the buttons. From a safety standpoint, we'd want them all to be the same. In a perfect world, you'd like the unlock and lock buttons to be in the same place on every fob. It seems logical to me, but I'm not a car designer. My wife just got a new vehicle, and her lock button is where my unlock button is, and vice versa. So, naturally, every time I use the fob to get in her vehicle, it doesn't perform the action I want. I know it's a minor complaint, but it's a problem to me...

So much of the Internet and social media has become clickbait. And some of it is amusing enough that you have to follow along. Recently, I've seen a rash of posts ranking the top 'fill in the blank' items, say, for instance, the top foods. I'm talking about restaurants that serve items including the best onion rings, hamburgers, and milkshakes. And for some reason, I always have to see it where things rank. And of course, I never agree. The one thing I've learned is that you can't definitively rank anything, especially food. But these sites must be popular. And the only reason they exist is that they must make a lot of money too...

The holidays are fast approaching. And for many of us, I’ve been spending more time in big box stores and shopping malls than we’d prefer. Many businesses continue to struggle. First, they dealt with the effects of the pandemic a few years ago. But since then, the economy has been up and down, which has people worried. One store, Target, has a new policy that it believes will boost its business and get it back on track. Their new CEO thinks Customer service is the key. And he thinks he’s come up with an idea that’ll help deliver exceptional service. And well, that may matter to some people, but for many, it’s all about saving money...

A few months ago, I mentioned that the US government had decided to stop minting pennies. Well, it looks like it's finally happened. Yesterday, the US Mint produced its final series of pennies, for good. Many retailers are stressed about how they'll handle prices and change. Some people want a consistent policy for all retailers, whether they're stores, restaurants, or even small businesses. But right now, nobody seems to agree on a solution. Some stores say they will round up prices to the nearest five or ten cents. And in some cases, they'll round down. Expect to see a lot of upset people when the cash register rings...

Some words are often associated with the holidays. Sure, words like merry come to mind, but today I'm talking about the word joy. I've noticed recently that a few TV commercials prominently feature the word. And while it's been around forever, it surprised me that it's playing such a high profile in these commercials. I don't feel much joy these days, and honestly, what does it really mean? You can look at the dictionary definition, and it tells you what it is, but not exactly. I realize it's one of those words that means something different to each of us. But right now, I'm not feeling it...

Today is Veterans Day. A day set aside each year to honor those who have served and fought for our country. It doesn't matter if you served two years or 25; it's a day for all veterans. It's also a day when many businesses try to use the situation to increase sales. Many offer free perks to those who have served our country. But just me, or have you seen more businesses offering freebies? How do you prove you're a veteran? Active-duty personnel carry military IDs — that can prove their service? My 90-year-old father has no military ID, yet he's a veteran. I'm sure he'd love some of those free offers. But I'm not sure how he can prove his service to our country...

Today is a significant anniversary for an event that most of us would never know about if it weren't for a song. A song that talks about the gales of November, about how the Chippewa called Lake Superior Gitche Gumee. Of course, I'm talking about The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, which happened 50 years ago today. In the song, it says the boat was on its way to Cleveland, and while many crew members lived throughout Northeast Ohio, this time it was on its way to Toledo. I learned so much about the ship's history through my radio, not my history book. And it shows us the power of song in an event never taught in schoolbooks...

If you follow the NFL, you’re probably aware that fans of the Green Bay Packers are called cheeseheads. Many of them wear foam cheese wedges on their head to games and in public.

When many of us hear someone say the word algorithm, we shudder a little. Working in social media, I often try to understand how algorithms work. Now I'm not talking about the computer code that drives it, but more importantly, what triggers our algorithm. In theory, everything is custom-targeted to our browsing history. But I often find times that fails. Recently, I've been seeing more suggested social media posts about arts and crafts projects. And I don't know why. That's not one of my hobbies, and it's rarely something I'm interested in. Perhaps I lingered too long when viewing something...

I sometimes discuss the Internet rabbit holes I follow, searching for knowledge. One of those recent items is about muscle memory. I can't play a musical instrument, and I often wonder how guitar players can remember hundreds of songs and know exactly the notes and chords to play every time. I've got to think that after you learn a song and you play it enough times, it becomes muscle memory. What got me thinking about this was the other day, when I changed the order of some apps on my smartphone. And all week, I found myself going to the place where that app used to be, always tapping without looking. Perhaps there's a simple solution...

If you have kids, shopping for shoes can be frustrating. Finding something affordable, stylish, and durable is the quest. As I've discovered through the years, even if you don't have children, it's still a challenge. I've never enjoyed it, whether it was for me or my wife. I've spent my fair share of time in shoe stores, trying to help them sell products, not as a salesman, but as a radio personality. The other day, I saw an ad for the Shoe Carnival, a store that's been around throughout the Southeast and Midwest for decades. But they just announced that in some places they're no longer going by that name —they're changing it to The Shoe Station. I had to find out why...

I have always loved election coverage. It doesn't matter if it's on TV, the radio, in the newspaper, or online. To me, it's like watching sports. But there's one phrase that always comes up in election coverage, in political conventions, and even on the floors of our government that's always puzzled me. It's when someone says, "Please recognize so-and-so from the great state of," then fill in the blank. Have you noticed that every state is great? I've wondered who started this phrase, where it came from, and, more importantly, why it's said every single time. It's almost become a crutch.

Libraries are often something we take for granted since the launch of the Internet. Children don’t need to spend as much time there researching school papers. Back in my day, I spent more weekends at the public library, and I like to think about it. I was constantly researching something for school, and we never seemed to have the materials in our school library. But the Internet has changed all of that, and now we can find almost everything online. Now they’re used more for public meeting rooms, borrowing multimedia materials, and of course, checking out books. But getting those books is becoming a challenge...

I have long been fascinated with sports fandom. While I’ve always considered myself a sports fan, I never understood the true meaning of being a fan until I moved to Northeast Ohio in the mid-90s. I never realized the extent to which some people take their fandom to the next level. And it never ceases to amaze me how fans react during championship celebrations. Why people feel the need to go out into the streets to celebrate is beyond me. And of course, we always hear the stories of the violence and destruction during these celebrations. Are these people big sports fans, or use it as an excuse for destruction? I doubt anybody can explain...

Twenty years ago, when I first started working in social media, I marveled at the possibilities of connecting families, friends, and businesses in a new yet simple way. But boy, has it changed over the last two decades. There's no way I could have predicted all of the political hatred and silliness caused by memes. A recent meme has taken over social platforms like TikTok, and it has finally hit the mainstream. The number 67 is now a meme, amusing young people and frustrating elders for months.

For many of us, it’s tough to look in the mirror and reflect upon our lives. When I dig deep, I often think about the mistakes I’ve made throughout my life. But there’s one day a year when I only think positive thoughts, and today is that day. It’s the day my wife and I celebrate our wedding anniversary. And for 28 years, I’ve done something right. I’m blessed to have found the person who makes me happy —and, more importantly, the person I always want to be around. Some might say it’s divine intervention, but for me, I’m just fortunate.

Every year, TV news, newspapers, and even the Internet remind you to check your treats. That reminder goes all the way back to my days of trick-or-treating. But while you’re checking your children’s candy, take a look at the wrappers first. You may notice some changes there, too. Many chocolate makers have changed their formula, and you’ll no longer see the words milk chocolate on the package. That’s due to an ongoing cocoa shortage. So now, they’ve had to change formulas for many candy bars. There are many ways they reference the chocolate, but all you have to do is taste to know it’s not quite the same thing...

We live in a world where there's a lot of sameness. There are very few local or regional businesses anymore. These days, you can find the same gas stations and stores like Walmart or Target in nearly every city. And most of the places to eat, whether they're fast food or you can sit down, are now chain restaurants. It's easy to find an Olive Garden, Red Lobster Chili's, or a Buffalo Wild Wings in nearly every city. But have you ever thought about the fact that they all started with just one location? At this point, most are owned by big corporations. But many of them have fascinating origin stories, and didn't begin in an expected location...

I've had a fear of needles since I was young. Yet that never stopped me from getting my vaccinations then nor now. As I mentioned recently, I just got my flu shot for the year. And I know that vaccines are a political hot button right now. I think of vaccines like insurance; they're a hassle, they may or may not protect you, but it's better to be safe than sorry. One of the vaccines many of us had as children was for whooping cough. But because of vaccine skepticism, whooping cough is making a comeback in Louisiana, and the bigger issue is that the state's health department didn't alert people for months...

The onset of Christmas advertising is hitting earlier and earlier. Over the weekend, I saw Christmas commercials for both Walmart and Home Depot. And literally as I’m writing this description for The Mason Minute, a Macy’s holiday commercial is playing on the TV. Many would prefer these commercials start after Thanksgiving or, perhaps, next week after Halloween. But with the economic uncertainty this year, and retailers’ need to increase profits, I can’t imagine any companies can afford to wait that long.

Sometimes you make plans and then don't follow through. Yesterday, I had the best of intentions. We've been out of town Friday and Saturday, and I knew I had some errands to run. But when I woke up Sunday morning, my body said, "Don't even bother." I knew I could put the errands off for a day or two, and I'm glad I did. We've been on the road a lot the last few months, watching a couple of our nephews play football. It keeps us busy on the weekends, and we're always trying to catch up on rest. As I've learned through the years, you can only burn the candle at both ends for so long. Yesterday, my body told me one thing: rest...

One of the joys of being a kid is when a carnival shows up in the parking lot of a nearby shopping center. The rides, the games, the noise, for youngsters. It’s a lot of fun, and you usually never know when it’s coming. But often, in the spring or the summer, a small carnival will appear in a shopping center nearby. But I saw something the other day that surprised me. Driving down the road a few miles from our house, I saw the lights of a Ferris wheel, and as we got closer, I could hear the music blaring. I’ve never seen one in October, and while it’s not cold during the daytime, after school hours, it can be chilly...

We're less than a week away from Halloween, and that's a big night for both children and adults. The kids go for the candy, and the adults go for the party with the wild costumes. I've never been a big fan of Halloween, and that goes back to my younger days when we all wore those costumes you bought at Kmart or even the grocery store. You know the ones with the mask that had the elastic string that went around the back of your head. I didn't like the masks because I wore glasses, and that didn't make things fun.

Can we ever make enough money? This is a rhetorical question. I'm trying to follow this gambling scandal currently unfolding in the NBA. And what confuses me is why millionaires need to make more money by breaking the law. Rich athletes, musicians, tech titans, and politicians do stupid things all the time. Yet they have money to avoid getting in trouble. And I'm talking about avoiding the problem in the first place. We all want to live comfortably. But by the time you become a billionaire, how much more comfortable can you get? Again, another rhetorical question...

I don't know if you have the same problem, but whenever somebody tells you to relax, you automatically tense up. I'm not the most chill person. And just asking me to do it makes things even worse. I automatically tense up. Some people can do it better than others, but it's never been one of my strong suits. Back in my younger days, when they were getting ready to drill on my teeth, my dentist would tell me to relax. It wouldn't hurt. It did. The other day, my wife and I went to get our flu shots. The first thing the nurse did was tell me to relax. It didn't work. I wish you knew how to do it, but relaxing is one thing I've never been good at...

Are you familiar with the concept of dynamic pricing? It’s how airlines, hotels, and even gas stations operate. They determine the price based on market conditions. Availability, or lack thereof, plays a significant factor. And while I understand the concept, it doesn’t make the experience of booking a plane ticket or a hotel room any easier. Hotel pricing is exceptionally frustrating because it can change on the hour, or even within a single mouse click. Sure, there are lots of apps that say they can help you find the best price, but you could spend hours trying to save a dollar or two...

If you spent any time online yesterday, you likely found some of your favorite websites down. There was a major outage with AWS, that’s Amazon Web Services. And they host much of the content like video, images, and sound files for sites like Amazon, Snapchat, and Reddit. Plus, they host content for places like CNN Business and Venmo. AWS even hosts the mp3 files for the Mason Minute, even though I don’t deal with them directly. For me, it made work tough as I couldn’t access many of the websites I need daily. They don’t go down often, but when AWS goes down, it’s not fun for any of us...

October is always a special month for my family. It starts on the first with my parents' anniversary and then on the 20th, which of course is today, my father's birthday. This year, it's even bigger than most years because my parents celebrated their 65th anniversary, and today, my father celebrates his 90th birthday. I joke that I've known him since he was 25. And that's hard for me to fathom. I can't imagine what it's like for him to think about all those years. It's a fantastic accomplishment for anyone. And this one's hitting me a little bit hard.

One of my favorite parts of the weekend is enjoying a good meal. Not that we don't eat well at home during the week, but I do love dining out. When we grab a meal, it can be something simple or fancy. These days, it's usually something simple. I'm looking for something tasty, quick, and inexpensive. And things like that are harder to find today. It's especially tough when you're on the road. During football season, we spent a lot of time traveling to watch our nephews play football. And your options are often minimal when traveling. I miss the days of the family-style restaurant. They're few and far between...

I have a decent pain threshold, or I think I do. But there’s one pain in general that, while not debilitating, is one of the nastiest and annoying pains. That pain is from paper cuts. I’ve had recurring back pain for decades, and you can’t compare the two. Back pain is a nagging pain that comes and goes. But paper cuts are a stinging pain that may only last for a few hours or a few days. But when you have one, you often lose focus, or at least I do. You can treat it with an ointment and cover it with a bandage, but it’s still there and still stings. And I honestly don’t understand why something so minor hurts so much...

Have you ever heard of the lipstick index? It's a term economists use to gauge whether we're on the way to a recession. They base it on the idea that people buy certain items in advance, in bulk, when the economy starts to go south. For women, things like lipstick, eye shadow, and most makeup in general. There are other indicators, too. We talked about one a few weeks ago. It's when certain food items like Hamburger Helper see a sales increase. Numerous factors fall into this lipstick index.

I talked about this a few months back. Researchers in North Carolina are looking at changing the traffic lights we encounter every day. For as long as I’ve been driving, the overwhelming majority of traffic signals have had red, yellow, and green lights. But these researchers are working on adding a fourth light to the mix, a white light. No reason for this extra light is to trigger autonomous vehicles. They’re preparing for the day when there are more driverless vehicles on the road than there are drivers. Testing of this fourth signal is about to begin, and many people are skeptical that it will work the way they want...

I know that Gen Z and younger people prefer text messages. Older folks like me, who don't like them, still prefer email. I stopped counting the number of emails I get per day, but it's usually in the hundreds. If you do any online shopping or ever give a business your email address, you're bound to get lots of email from them. And often you'll see the headline say, "You just visited us —could you please take the time to fill out the survey?" Everybody wants your input. And while there is some value, most people stop filling them out after a while. While I don't mind answering surveys sometimes, I often don't see the point...

My nephew Ray is on fall break from college this week. And while the rest of his classmates enjoy the entire week at home, he’s already back on campus because he’s a member of the football team and the football team is getting ready for a big game this weekend.

When people find out you live in Nashville, the first thing they ask about is our Lower Broadway tourist District, where all the celebrity bars are located. I'm sure this happens to people who live in Las Vegas, New Orleans, or any tourist-driven city. They expect you to know everything that's happening in the tourist hot spots, even though you never spend any time in that part of town. I even found out there's a term for all of the celebrity nightspots we have in Nashville: star bars. Every year, more and more of them open up, and a few even close.

Sometimes, it's the small things that get under your skin. And while this shouldn't affect my life, it bothers me. I was watching some college football last week and noticed that, with two minutes left in the first half, the referees called the two-minute timeout. And this has been a part of football for decades upon decades. But they never just called it a timeout; they called it the two minute warning. And then later that day, another game, same thing. The next day, watching the NFL, the same thing. Now I understand. It's always been a timeout, but it's always been called the two minute warning. Did I miss the memo? Something has changed...

At one point in my life, I spent a lot of time in the kitchen. But obviously, I spent too much of it sampling what I was making. But every now and then, I do try to get creative. For a recent office luncheon, I decided to whip up a batch of skillet queso, or, in this case, crockpot queso. I've eaten skillet queso at numerous restaurants throughout the years, and they all have slight variations. But who knew that one restaurant's menu change would get so many people upset?

Here in the south, for many, the beverage of choice is sweet tea. But if you're an unsweetened iced tea drinker like me, you're faced with a myriad of options to sweeten your beverage. You can use sugar or products like Sweet'N Low, Equal, Splenda, or Truvia. It's a newer choice made from the stevia plant. But one of those sweeteners may do something more than replace sugar. It can help those suffering from hair loss grow hair. Researchers have found that combining stevia with minoxidil, the hair-loss agent in Rogaine, can improve the hair growth process.

Like many people, I enjoy traveling. However, as I have found in recent years, I don't travel as frequently as the young people in our office. Many of them think nothing of traveling to Europe for vacation, or to somewhere warm like Jamaica, Bermuda, or Antigua over our Christmas break. While I've been to most states and traveled across our borders a few times, I still want to see the USA on a greater scale before my time is up.

I’ve always been a news junkie. I guess I have my father to blame for that. Well, I didn’t mind poring through a few newspapers over the weekend, or the daily edition of USA Today, but the Internet changed everything for me.

I don’t know many people who enjoy shopping at a big box store. Yes, it’s convenient, and the prices are great, but the experience can cause significant stress for people. I don’t get stressed when visiting a big box store, but at times, I do get a little frustrated. Many busy families are finding one way to go around going to the store. And that’s by placing orders online. Then, stores like Walmart have personal shoppers who walk through the stores and fill those online orders.

If you've ever spent a great deal of time with teenagers, it's often difficult to get them to talk to you. You'll get the basics, but it's rarely an actual back-and-forth.

The other day, I was in my home office looking for something, but I don't even remember what it was, and I came across some old files that included digital videos. I shot them back in 2004/2005 and am amazed at how technology has advanced. I was shooting a new country music singer in my radio station conference room, named Taylor Swift. And all I have are 30-second snippets of her songs. The technology didn't allow us to record anything longer than that. And the internet still couldn't handle anything bigger. We've come a long way in roughly 20 years...

Today we're exploring technology, again. But this time, I'm walking down memory lane. When I looked at the calendar this morning, I realized it was 10-4. You know, like the old CB radio catchphrase, 10-4, good buddy. It's hard to believe the CB radio craze occurred just over 50 years ago. Although it was short-lived, it was remarkable how it took the country by storm. Everybody marveled at the technology. And of course, fast-forward to today, and it seems relatively simple, very outdated, and to some downright silly. Today, we take for granted the ability to communicate with others while driving in a car or a big 18-wheeler...

Many people won't admit it, but they fear technology. Everything's changing at such a rapid clip that many people don't know what to do. And some people can even be considered technophobic. No, technophobia isn't a clinical medical illness, but experts say many suffer from this fear. Two of them are my parents. For as long as I can remember, they've shied away from technology. They don't use the Internet. They don't even have an old-school answering machine. And the only cell phone they have isn't even a smartphone. They only use it for emergency purposes...

Many times, as I'm heading to and from work, I think about how long I've been driving. I recall the things I've seen and the predicaments I've gotten myself into and out of. And I owe it all to my driver's education course in high school. It has been a long time since most schools discontinued driver's ed due to funding issues. While there are private companies that can train you for the road, I'm not sure if the experience is quite the same. The state of Ohio has just announced that anyone under 21 who applies for a license must complete a training course. And while it's the first state to do so, it likely won't be the last...

When it comes to celebrating marriage, people always talk about the big numbers like 25, 50, and, if you're lucky, 75. Those are the ones that have fancy names, such as silver, gold, and diamond. But today, the more I think about it, 65 is an amazing number, too. Today is my parents' anniversary. They're celebrating 65 years together. And well, that may not be as glamorous as 75 years, but it's genuinely a fantastic fete. I can't even fathom a number that large. And in a world where 50% of the marriages don't last, it should be celebrated in a significant way...

When we were kids, we were fascinated with insects. But by the time you’re an adult, you come to hate them. It doesn’t matter what kind, they’re all a hassle. We have a problem with ants numerous times throughout the year. It could be because of where we live, the fact that we’re near the river, or perhaps that they built our house on a slab. Like many places across America, wasps are a recurring issue for us, too. However, over the last couple of days, we’ve been inundated with tiny bugs, and I’m unsure what they are. They only come out around dusk, but there are a lot of them, and they’re annoying...

I’ve been hearing this most of my life, and I’m sure you have, too. One of the keys to good health is ingesting the proper amount of fiber in your diet. It’s good for your digestion and will keep you regular. And, of course, it will aid in weight management. But did you know it can also help with your mental health? Most of us don’t consume enough fiber in our diet. Experts say most of us need 30 to 40% more. And while we do worry about being regular and watching our weight, the added benefit of mental health will likely encourage you to ensure you eat enough fiber.

I’ve never looked up this statistic, but I’ve got to think that by the end of our lives, at least 80% of us wear glasses for some portion of them. For some of us, it starts early. I got my first pair before I was six years old. I remember getting them midway through kindergarten. And it was one of those revelations where I could finally see the blackboard clearly. But like most kids, wearing them isn’t fun. Losing them, breaking them, and just the annoyance of wearing them all the time make it difficult. Rumors have it that smart glasses are set to replace our smartphones. Many think that’s a good thing. I doubt they started wearing them at a young age...

Right now, there’s a lot of discussion about the economy. People are arguing about how we’re doing. Is there a recession or just a lull? Several indicators suggest when people are starting to tighten their belts. One indicator that may surprise you is the sales of Hamburger Helper. If you’re of a certain age, you remember the 1970s pantry staple that makes a great meal. It always sells well when times are tight and people are struggling. This year, sales are up by over 14%. Like many, I enjoyed it in my younger days when times were tight. And if you examine the sales data, it appears that sales are likely to continue rising...

If you've listened to the podcast for any length of time, you'll often find my media and journalistic background coming through. Due to my years of experience working in the newsroom, I strive to avoid showing bias on any subject. That's why I'll rarely take a stand on any issue. My politics, morals, and philosophies really don't matter. Because I doubt there's anything I could say that can sway your opinion on any subject. Some people think I should choose sides, but that's not my style. While I'm sure I could get more listeners by creating controversy, that's not who I am.

I don't have many regrets in life. A couple of small regrets are classes I should've taken, or more importantly, things they should've taught me in school. First, is accounting. I could've taken accounting classes in high school or college, but they weren't required. And at the time, I didn't think I'd ever need it. Little did I know, I'd own my own business for over two decades. My other regret is not learning anything about investing. I envy people who are comfortable playing the stock market. To me, investing in stocks, bonds, and futures is like gambling. And I'm more impressed that people even know what futures are...

Sports are big business. And I'm not just talking professional sports. It's also college sports. And when teams lose, someone has to take the blame. Yesterday, the head coach of the New York Liberty was let go, just one season removed from winning the WNBA championship. Her crime was that she didn't win back-to-back titles. The head coach of the Oklahoma State Cowboys, Mike Gundy, also lost his job yesterday. He was in his 21st season. They began the season 1-2. We live in a world where there's only one rule when it comes to sports: win now. I grew up in a world where there was always next year. Today in sports, there may not be a next week...

In many ways, the workplace is getting very stressful for both management and workers. There’s always been some level of stress for all of us, but since COVID-19, thoughts about how we conduct business have changed dramatically on both sides. In recent years, the trend of people quietly quitting has increased. A few months ago, we also discussed quiet cracking. But now we’re told there’s another process happening in many businesses while new and some. It’s called quiet promotions. It’s the process of people being given more responsibility without a raise or a title. I know personally, this has been around for a long time...

As the season starts to shift from summer to fall, many people turn to their favorite fall beverage, the pumpkin spice latte. I enjoy one every now and then. And I started thinking about pumpkins and the potential for prices to increase this year due to factors such as tariffs or a shortage of product. It didn't take long to find out, I know nothing about pumpkins. The majority that we enjoy, whether in a latte or in a pie, is grown here in America. And the number one state for pumpkin production is the one where I was born. The good news for all of us is that we don't have to worry about a shortage anytime soon...

I don't know one baseball, football, or basketball fan who doesn't have a favorite sports movie. It could be a classic like The Pride of the Yankees or Brian's Song. Or perhaps you love something more contemporary, like Rudy, or Field of Dreams. There are a couple of sports movies I stop and watch whenever I see them on television. And while they're not the most popular movies about sports, they've always had a significant impact on me. And of course, I also have another one that's kind of a guilty pleasure. It's a film that I probably watch 20 to 30 times a year. And I'm not even a rabid sports fan...

For the last month, stories of the changes that Cracker Barrel wanted to make have been circling the internet. I understand people being upset. Few people like change. But restaurants change their look and logo all the time. McDonald’s changes its look inside and out every decade or two. And IHOP doesn’t look anything like it used to. But there’s one restaurant in particular that changed long ago, and few people made a big stink about it. That’s Pizza Hut.

For years, I’ve been hearing that some of our larger coastal cities were sinking. This isn’t something that’s going to happen in my lifetime. But because of global warming and the sea level rising, cities like Miami, New Orleans, and San Francisco are in danger in the years ahead. But the other day, I read a story that shocked me. And from what I’ve read, it’s shocking the experts too. Researchers found that even though it’s on a lake and even though it’s relatively inland, Chicago is slowly sinking. Even the waters of Lake Michigan are rising. And these researchers are trying to figure out how to reverse this trend...

Yesterday, I was discussing how cell phones are being banned in schools across America. And recently I thought of another potential ban. Then, less than two weeks later, it looks like a school in Akron, Ohio, is taking the lead. They are instituting a water bottle ban. And I have a feeling they won’t be the last. Today, everyone carries around a water bottle, whether it’s a Yeti, Stanley, Owala, or some off-brand. One potential problem with these big metal bottles is that they can be used as weapons. And while I carry a big 46-ounce jug, one of my nephews carries one that’s even bigger than that...

While I don’t have kids, I’ve often heard the plight of parents trying to figure out the right time to give their child a smartphone. For most, it’s usually around the time they go to high school, as the parents want to keep tabs on their children. However, as I discovered while spending time with my nieces and nephews a couple of weekends ago, many districts are banning cellphones in schools. In fact, my nephew, Ty, told me that this year his high school stopped allowing students to carry them during the school day. I know this is a controversial subject for many families.

Are you lonely? I don't mean this as a joke. It's a serious question. And it's a question that a mental health group recently asked people across America. Here in Tennessee, 14% said they identified that way. I thought that number was kind of low. Come to find out, Tennessee's one of the states where people feel the least isolated. The state with the highest percentage of lonely people is Mississippi. There, 71% of people claimed to feel that way.

We all have opinions. It doesn’t matter what the subject is; when pressed, most people will share their feelings. But in the world of social media, you now have a soapbox to share your opinion anytime you want. We witnessed it this week with the death of political activist Charlie Kirk. But for some, sharing their opinion causes them problems, not only online, but with their employer, and the one thing that many forget is that while it’s okay to have opinions, that doesn’t mean you need to share them with others.

I know I say it all the time, but times have changed. Sure, a lot of it has to do with society, our culture, and even technology. But sometimes it's the simple things. When I was growing up, you could find a few cents in your piggy bank, or grab some change from your parents, and go to the store and buy a candy bar. How simple things were. Of course, in my parents' era, a candy bar was a nickel. In my preteen years, it was a quarter. It's not the same for kids today. Chocolate prices are going up, and Hershey says they could jump anywhere from 50¢ to a dollar. And that would bring the price of a regular candy bar up to almost $2...

I often wonder what percentage of today's kids get braces. If you look closely at my picture, you can see I didn't get them as a kid. My two bottom teeth in the front are crooked, and there's a gap between my top two front teeth. I really don't think that much about it. I'm not that bothered. But something has changed throughout the years, and I noticed it the other night while watching some YouTube videos of some old rock bands. I saw how many of those musicians had bad teeth and needed dental work. Back in those days, most didn't worry about things like teeth. It's much different today...

If you work in the 9-to-5 world, you likely hear people tossing around buzzwords like office culture and return to office. Every company is still dealing with the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s been over three years since many people returned to what some called the new normal. But working from home, which was the norm for a few years, became the preferred way to work for many employees. And while many companies put up with it for a while, they now want business to get back to normal. But what does that mean today? It looks like the divide between management and staff is getting wider every day...

Some are saying that we are experiencing more hatred right now than at any other time in the history of America. I haven't been here for nearly 250 years, but I sometimes wonder if it's true. It's challenging to compare how everyone truly felt during the civil rights era, World War II, or even the Civil War. With yesterday's killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, some say this proves the point. I just look at the calendar and think back 24 years. It was a time when Americans came together. One thing we all can agree on is that these are very depressing times...

For most of us, things like electricity, water, and gas are some of the most essential things in our lives. Over the last few decades, many of us have added high-speed Internet to that list. We've reached the point where the speed and stability of our connection are most important. With all the devices and all of the streaming we do, we need something dependable and very fast in our neighborhood. We've had a few options over the years. Some are good, some not so much. But for the last few years, there have been rumors that Google Fiber was coming to our neighborhood. And from what I saw yesterday, it looks like they're here...

It's hard to believe that Nashville has been a part of my life for so long. I made my first trip to Nashville about this time, 46 years ago. And I never thought I'd end up here full-time. But soon I'll be looking at 20 years here in the Music City. And while I'm not a lifer, I've seen a lot of change here in the city as it's grown. I spent some of my formative years in Virginia Beach, so I know a little bit about tourist destinations. And that's what I've seen Nashville become. As I drive to work every day, I'm worried about the people visiting our city as they try to step off the curb. It's often hazardous...

I don't travel as much as I used to. And these days, when I do travel, it's usually for family functions. So, fortunately, there's not a lot of dressing up. But I'm still challenged figuring out what to pack on a regular basis. I've always been envious of my friends who travel for a living, and I have no problem sticking a week's worth of clothing into an overnight bag. That's never been an option for me because of my size. And when the weather starts to turn and the clothes get heavier, my suitcases get larger. We are on the road over the weekend, and it looks like summer weather is fading away because I had to pack for two seasons, and that's not easy to do...

It’s the first Sunday of the NFL season, and pretty much like I do every Sunday, I’ll have one of my TVs on the NFL Red Zone. But it may be the last time I do it. ESPN has entered into a partnership with the NFL to claim a stake in the NFL Network and its associated properties. And while the ink on the paperwork isn’t even dry, ESPN has already announced they’re going to be running ads during the Red Zone. I understand advertising pays the bills, but when ESPN already has 35 different channels, can’t they keep this one the way it is?

My wife and I've been together a long time; a little over 30 years at this point. We're coming up on our 28th anniversary. And at this point, there's not much she doesn't know about me or doesn't understand. I like to think it works both ways. Early on, she quickly learned that even though I'm fair-skinned, I often forget sunscreen when I'm in the sun for long periods of time. For years, she's been wanting me to get a floppy hat to wear when we're outdoors in the midday sun. It took a long time, but I'm finally breaking down and doing it.

The college football season is just getting started. The NFL begins this weekend. Some say you can feel fall weather in the air. That’s just wishful thinking, at least for now. I saw something online the other day that bothered me, and it had nothing to do with politics. It was ESPN predicting the matchups for this year‘s bowl games and 12-team playoff. It came out a day or two after the football season started. Are we this desperate to get people to pay attention to us? Did they write these things just to get us upset? I wish I knew the answer, but it’s just silly. And sadly, people are already debating the subject...

For many of us, times are tight. The cost of everything is going up, but our wages aren't going up at the same rate. Nobody knows how this all plays out, but it's not just affecting people. It's affecting businesses, too. Many of our favorite restaurants have been in the news lately. Naturally, Cracker Barrel comes to mind. But there's been a lot of talk about the success of Chili's over the last couple of years. Many restaurants are responding to our pleas and seeking ways to generate revenue while offering good value.

As you know, I spend much of my life online. All of us do. It's hard to believe I've been living online for over 20 years. And the more time that we spend online, the more advanced bad actors become. Because of that, we have to have secure passwords, pass phrases, or passkeys. But wait, there's more. You also need to have two-factor authentication set up for all of your logins, too. Plus, some websites or apps also require verification codes. Now, it's not enough to have just two steps; there has to be a third step. And experts tell us that's still not enough.

I sometimes think we're a country that's become obsessed with winning and losing. But more importantly, we sometimes get more joy when others lose. I notice this phenomenon frequently in sports and, of course, in politics. Over the weekend, it was the kickoff to the college football season. One team wins, one team loses. However, some fans are already calling for certain coaches to be fired after just one game. And it's all because their team lost. We take these things too personally when, in reality, we have no direct involvement. There have always been fanatics among sports fans, but recently, I feel that more people are becoming too obsessed...

Every now and then, I love a good conspiracy theory. And the ones I love are usually marketing-related. I’ve long been fascinated with the story of New Coke. Was it all a marketing ploy? Will likely never know. With all the discussion of Cracker Barrel the last few weeks, some are saying this was all a marketing ploy. They had been researching the interior remodel for a long time and were aware of the controversy. However, the sudden change in their new logo raises questions about whether they ever truly intended to alter it in the first place. I’m not sure what to believe, but I am very interested...

I’ll be the first to admit, I probably watched too much television. I come from the generation that grew up on the boob tube, and of course, having a father who worked in the business for over 25 years, it was an essential part of our lives. Scrolling through the TV guide the other day, I thought of something. With all the cable channels we have, what if there were a rule that said you can only have one channel playing any specific show at a time? Now that we have streaming services, we can binge-watch anything we want, but how many times a day is Law and Order on multiple stations? Sadly, I know the answer...

I had to go out and get license plates for one of my cars yesterday. And every time I do it, it's a challenge. You can apply for your vehicle registration online or by mail. But it's often easier to do it in person. I went to one of the county clerk's satellite offices to obtain my license plate sticker for the upcoming year. And because it was the last weekday of the month, the parking lot was full and the lines were long. But once I parked, I was able to get in and out in just a matter of minutes.

Growing up, I excelled in my science classes in school, but I never truly enjoyed them. I could handle the memorization, but I never understood why some people are so concerned with some parts of science. The fascination that some have with dinosaurs and prehistoric times is something I don’t understand. Some scientists are suggesting that Homo Sapiens and Neanderthals began interbreeding tens of thousands of years earlier than previously thought. That’s fascinating, but does it really matter?

I hear this all the time, and even say it myself, but we’re living in extraordinary times. Now I don’t know if this is something that happens as you age, or if things really have gotten weird. And this isn’t a rant about politics. It’s about clarification. I’ve noticed a trend on social media recently. Companies, both big and small, are making announcements about internal issues that most people wouldn’t know about if they weren’t being shared with us. When a problem employee leaves a business, the company goes online to announce that they’re no longer associated with the person. Doesn’t that breed more curiosity? Perhaps I’m overreacting...

Let’s be honest, most of us spend too much time on the Internet and on social media. I know I do. Additionally, my job requires me to spend time on social media. So I’m on a variety of social platforms from sunup to sundown, and often late into the night. And yesterday I witnessed something I’ve never seen before. I was on Facebook when all of a sudden, everything on the page reset. It was as if someone had hit a big refresh button, and I wasn’t even scrolling. I was actually reading something, and then, in a flash, it disappeared, and everything reset. It didn’t take long to realize what big news made this happen...

I don't do much grocery shopping these days. Years ago, I discovered that staying away from the supermarket helps me avoid buying unnecessary things. I don't know how much it's helped my waistline, but that's what I tell myself. My wife went to the store yesterday and let me know we were switching the cut of ground beef we buy. We always opt for the leanest ground beef, because it's just a bit healthier. But when she came home yesterday, she told me we need to make a change. That's because ground beef is now over $10 a pound. And while we can afford it, I'm thankful we don't have a lot of mouths to feed...

School has begun in many parts of America. Some high schools went back as early as the first of August. And many colleges have also returned. Last week, numerous schools across the country received bomb threats. All were deemed false alarms. These have happened for decades. And more times than not, it’s just somebody trying to cause trouble. One of our local schools had a bomb threat on Thursday, and after investigation, it was deemed a false report. But the interesting part is that many of these events, including the one here in Nashville, were called coordinated threats...

I've long been fascinated with new technology. While I understand the fear that some people feel when accepting something new, I wonder why we tend to embrace everything the way it's always been. Take reading, for example. For so long, we read things like newspapers and books. It didn't matter if those books were hard or soft-bound; they were familiar. It's the same thing with newspapers. But now, thanks to technology, we can do all those things with a tool like an e-reader or Kindle.

I know that I've said this before, but I love brunch. It's the best of two worlds: breakfast and lunch. I've never understood why brunch is better than breakfast, but it's a whole different feeling, and it's just due to the time you eat. Decades ago, there were always one or two big downtown hotels that served a brunch buffet on the weekend. And it didn't just happen in major cities. Cities of all sizes always had one or two swanky hotels that were known for this extravagance. I haven't experienced one in years, but for those towns that still offer the experience, they may not for much longer...
It’s been all over the Internet for a few days and even made the national news. Cracker Barrel has decided to change its decor as well as its logo. Gone is the old man sitting next to the barrel, and they even changed the shape of the logo, too. People are upset. But these changes have been coming for a long time. Cracker Barrel is struggling. Their clientele is getting older, and the folksy restaurant with the big old gift shop doesn’t appeal to young people. They’ve spent the last few years trying to figure out what they need to change.

I didn’t learn this until the other day, but bananas are the most popular fruit worldwide. In America, they’re neck and neck with apples. I like them, but I don’t enjoy eating them by hand. I prefer them sliced on top of cereal, baked into bread, or paired with ice cream, lots of sauce, and whipped cream. They’re one of the most affordable fruits. But growers tell us we should be preparing for a banana shortage. Climate change is partly to blame. They’re only grown in certain parts of the world, and 80% of them come from just two regions in Latin America. We don’t need to panic yet, but many are concerned...

I know I sometimes talk too much about my first-world problems. Yesterday, I was complaining about smelly dumpsters. Today, I'm talking about something that goes hand-in-hand with those dumpsters; that's cement mixers and dump trucks. I've complained about dump trucks before, about my frustration with their signs telling you to stay back 200 feet. Due to the constant construction, there are a lot of cement trucks in Nashville. And this isn't just a Nashville problem. It happens no matter where there's construction. Cement mixers don't move quickly and often have trouble staying in their lane...

Nashville is a town that’s always under construction. Not only are we building more houses, condos, and apartments, we’re also building more restaurants, hotels, and high-rises. And with all this construction comes a constant rumble of dump trucks and trucks carrying dumpsters. I drive to work using city streets, and I frequently find myself behind trucks carrying these dumpsters to the city dump. And while they usually have business materials in them, they still stink. The smell is awful. I would think they wash them out, but it sure doesn’t smell that way...

I'm not exaggerating, but it seems the whole world is obsessed with pickles right now. Walking through the grocery store, I see more pickle-flavored products than ever before. Fast food restaurants like Sonic currently have limited-time-only burgers, tots, and drinks that are pickle-flavored. For me, pickles are something I throw on a burger or eat alongside a sandwich. But I don't feel the need to have everything pickle-flavored. Like many trends, this could come and go. But I get the sense that this one could last for a while. At this point, it's hard to say.

If you’re like me, you check your email multiple times per day. In a perfect world, we’d only get messages that we want. But a lot of our mailbox is now filled with junk mail and marketing messages. I’m pretty selective about who I share my email address with. So I’m usually interested when one of these stores sends me an email. But I’ve noticed a recent trend. One of my favorite clothing stores will email me to tell me that something I looked at previously is now on sale. But when I click on it to buy, they don’t have it in my size.

Through the years, I’ve had the good fortune to eat at some fantastic restaurants throughout America. And while they were great meals, some even memorable, most were just expensive. But there’s one memory in life that stays with me, and that was eating dinner at one of those inexpensive steakhouses back in the day. And it wasn’t because the steak was that good, it was that all you can eat salad bar, and those big fat yeast rolls. In my younger days, when I barely had enough money to get through the month, it was always exciting when I could go out for one of those big dinners. Looking back, they weren’t that big, but the yeast rolls made it all worthwhile...

I'm an emotional person. I have always been good or bad. I wear my heart on my sleeve. And while there are times, I wish I didn't show any reaction, it's just not who I am. People who know me and love me say it's one of my better qualities. I'm sure others disagree. We live in a world where people don't ever want you to see their emotions, at least the real ones.

We get a lot of severe weather in Nashville. Many experts say that it has to do with our climate and where we’re situated amongst the states. And as climate change affects us all, these storms seem to be getting worse. We rarely get simple rain showers; we get severe ones filled with thunder and lightning. And many of them happen overnight. We had some severe weather the other night, and at about 2 o’clock in the morning, something, perhaps lightning, hit a nearby power pole. We lost power. And obviously, this wasn’t a quick fix for the power company, because we were without electricity for eight hours...

I truly marvel at all of the changes that have happened throughout my lifetime. I’m not just talking about a man going to the moon, I’m talking about technology. Advancements like our smartphones and the Internet have significantly impacted our lives. It’s hard to imagine the time before the Internet. Kids today don’t know what life was like before the Internet. A small part of the Internet is going away, specifically the one that once helped get us onto the Internet. AOL announced it’s dropping dial-up modem service at the end of September. Most of us haven’t used dial-up modems since the early 2000s.

Your parents taught you how to brush your teeth when you were roughly two or three years old. And you do it multiple times a day, day in and day out. But no matter how old you are, you’re likely making some mistakes when it comes to how you brush. Most people spend less than a minute brushing their teeth, even though dentists recommend spending at least two minutes to do it correctly. Even though dentists tell us we need to floss, most people still don’t do that. But did you know that there’s a specific time of the morning that you should brush your teeth?

Two businesses that consistently thrive, regardless of the economy, are convenience stores and fast food restaurants. But recently, both of those types of businesses are struggling. Experts say one reason is that people aren't drinking as much soda anymore. Both make a lot of money from their soda fountains. That's why you could always get free refills and jumbo sizes for low prices. But some stores and restaurants in the Midwest are trying to combat that, but it's a secret. They're pouring what's called heavy soda. And while you think most people would promote the fact they're doing this, it's often a well-kept secret...

I've been under the weather for about a week and a half, and haven't had much of an appetite. And for a guy like me, that's extremely rare. For a few days, nothing sounded good. I had to eat something, but the desire wasn't there. I didn't want chicken soup or even a grilled cheese sandwich. When my wife went to the grocery store, she brought home some Jell-O, hoping it would help. I couldn't tell you the last time I had it. Back in the 1960s and 70s, Jell-O was in every household.

I've long been fascinated with cravings. Some people crave sweet, while others crave salty. Some have expensive tastes and only desire the finest foods like steak or caviar. Of course, I'm odd, and I crave things like corn dogs. I loved eating them when I was younger, and you used to be able to find them everywhere.

I know that doesn’t make much sense, but I’ve experienced this more as I’ve gotten older. While your body wants to sleep, it can’t find that comfort spot.

We usually associate teenagers with the need to be fashionable, but as many parents learn going through the back-to-school season, that desire starts much earlier in life. Kids need to fit in. And sadly, a lot of that can revolve around the clothing you wear. For families with money, it's a lot easier situation to deal with. For those without it, it can have lifelong implications. Style, back in my day, wasn't all brand-focused. It was about fitting in. We all shopped at stores like Sears and Penny's. But as mall culture grew in the 80s, so did the need to fit in.

No one likes to find themselves in uncomfortable situations. That’s especially true the younger we are. As we age, we realize we sometimes have no choice. But according to Google CEO Sundar Pichai, we should do everything we can to encounter more uncomfortable situations. His advice to Gen Z is that by doing that, they’ll become more successful in life. Now, I don’t think he guarantees they’ll become billionaires like him, but he believes that the more we place ourselves in those situations, the more comfortable we become, and the more adept we become with them.

It may sound like I'm nitpicking here, but bear with me. Recently, I've seen some ads for a new product, or at least I think it's new, called RYZE mushroom coffee. Actor Neil Patrick Harris has starred in a few of these commercials, and they just confuse me. How can something be coffee if it doesn't just use coffee beans? What's the process that makes it into this coffee? I'm honestly confused. They discuss the taste and how you feel when you drink it, but did coffee need to be replaced? Perhaps it's due to the cost. Or maybe it's the new tariffs driving this. I've looked for answers, and that leads to more questions...

Many parents are wrapping up their back-to-school shopping, as the kids head back to the classroom over the next couple of weeks. For many kids, wearing the right shoes or clothing is essential. But it seems that one of this year’s key status symbols for kids when they head back to school is their backpacks. I always focused on the function of the backpack rather than the brand. But I’ve never been focused on the latest trends. Back in my school days, the lunchbox you carried was a status symbol.

I'm a very blessed person. I'm not saying that I've accomplished a lot, but I have done so much. Following my father around the country throughout his broadcast career, then into my 20+ year career, followed by my 10+ years in the music business, I've experienced a lot of things.

And it's not like I'd be disappointing millions of people. I've had another encounter with a cold or the flu this week. This summer, it's hit me hard. And I don't know why. But yesterday, I almost took a day off from The Mason Minute for the first time in 14 years. That should give you an idea of how rough I feel. As you can see, I didn't take the day off.

When it comes to the workplace, there are two kinds of people: managers and people who report to them. Now technically, I’m oversimplifying things. And there’s a significant shift going on in the workplace right now that you might not even notice. It happens gradually, but over the summer, Millennials have overtaken Generation X as the largest number of managers in the American workforce. And while the baby boomers held that title for a long time, by the end of the year, they will be overtaken by Gen Z. With this shift in the age of managers comes a vast change in management style. And it looks to be a significant change...

If you've followed the podcast, even for just a short time, you know I can head down internet rabbit holes at the blink of an eye. I was scrolling through Facebook the other day and saw a survey that listed the 15 least attractive hobbies to women. I began investigating the origin of the survey. When doing that, I found another study: the 15 most attractive hobbies to women. I never knew women had so many thoughts on hobbies. When you look at the list, they make sense, both good and bad. But in the end, I couldn't find the source of either survey, and to me, that was even more fascinating...

It’s hard to believe, but I’ve been out of school roughly 2/3 of my life. While I recall some aspects of both high school and college, many of the details are a blur. They occurred so long ago. Recently, I’ve seen numerous TV commercials for a program that can help you earn your high school diploma. And this isn’t aimed at young people who dropped out in recent years. This program is targeted at everyday adults. And that got me wondering: Do many people in America not have their high school diploma? I understand why people opt not to attend college, but I was surprised by the findings I discovered through my research...

I may be oversimplifying things here, but essentially, you can categorize the world into two types of people: runners and non-runners. I say this in jest, but I do believe there's some truth to the subject. All you have to do is take one look at me, and you can tell I'm not a runner. I've never liked running, not even when I was a young skinny thing. However, I know many people who love it. It's part of their lives, and when they don't get to do it, they feel something's missing. My wife's uncle is one of those people. But he hasn't been able to run due to a recent heart procedure. And he can't wait to get back to it...

The other night, my nephew Ty and his high school football team enjoyed their annual preseason steak dinner. It's a yearly tradition to reward the players for working hard during the summer. For teenagers, what's better than steak, corn on the cob, mac and cheese, and dirt pudding? To teens, it doesn't matter what kind of steak they're eating. Connoisseurs say, when it comes to steak, the ribeye and T-bone are the most flavorful. I prefer a filet. It's the most tender, and naturally the most expensive. Ty's team enjoyed ribeyes. I think at their age, teenagers aren't going to argue about the kind of steak they're served...

Through the years, many retail stores have offered perks for shoppers. Long ago, it was green stamps. Over the past couple of decades, many retailers have established loyalty programs that enable customers to earn points and receive special discounts. Often, these discounts were in addition to their normal sale prices. Some stores even offer price matching. With the advent of online shopping, many stores were forced to compete with low-cost online outlets like Amazon. For a long time, Target was one of those stores that matched prices. However, this week, they just announced that their price-matching plan is going away with very little notice...

I'm sure I've talked about this before, but I'm not much of a coffee drinker. I'll drink it in social situations, but I don't start my day with a cup or two. I've always been more of a tea fan. Iced tea, hot tea - it doesn't matter; I love them all. But I cut back my tea drinking to drink more water. Recently, I went looking for an iced tea maker. I had one back in the day, but I don't know where it is. It could be in storage, or perhaps long gone. However, in every store I visited over the last week or two, I found no iced tea machines. It's rows of coffee makers: Keurigs, Nespresso, and even some Mr. Coffee models, but no iced tea makers are anywhere to be found...

When I was a teenager, I used to earn extra money mowing lawns. And we didn’t have a gas-powered mower. I had one of those old push mowers. But I didn’t mind. A few extra bucks in my pocket gave me a little freedom. I don’t get the sense that teens these days ever think about mowing lawns. It’s now a business. I encounter more professional trucks rolling through neighborhoods, even on my daily commute to work. They all have big trailers, a couple of lawnmowers, and more string trimmers than they have at Home Depot. Is this happening only in Nashville, or is it widespread across America?

Through the years, I’ve known many people who were uncomfortable driving through tunnels. I spent some of my formative years living in Virginia Beach. And when you live in Southeastern Virginia, you have to learn quickly how to handle driving through them. I can’t remember the first time I encountered one. It was likely when I was 5 or 6 years old, and we were driving through the Rockies. They’re talking about building one here in Nashville to take you from downtown to the airport and back.

Now, I'm not sure if this is a law in every city or state, but in most places, you're required to stop for pedestrians in crosswalks. In many areas, that's no big deal; there isn't a lot of foot traffic. But when you live in a big tourist town like Nashville, you've got to watch out for people not paying attention. Where I work, near downtown, is filled with tourists. And nearly every day, I encounter someone walking across the street, not even looking up from their smartphone. I have no problem stopping for people as they cross the street. At the very least, they could look up from their phones. But I get the feeling they might disagree...

There’s a lot of discussion about what’s wrong with America these days. But it’s not just America, it’s the world. I’ve noticed this coming on for a long time. I often feel it’s a lack of self-awareness. People only care about themselves today. They don’t think about the others around them. Being a big guy, I’ve always had a lot of understanding about the space I take up, about how it’s easy for me to get in the way of others. I’ve always tried to be courteous. I’ve always tried to be aware of what’s going on around me and how it affects everyone. I hope I do a good job, but lately I don’t think it matters.

Last week, I talked about listening to some Classic country music on SiriusXM. This week, I've also found some playlists on Spotify to add to the mix. I've discovered many songs that I hadn't heard in a long time. Some of them I loved, while others I didn't. One of those songs is a 1982 hit from country music singer David Frizzell. It was a number one hit called 'I'm Gonna Hire A Wino'. It's a fine song, but one that was way overplayed. It's a novelty record, yet it remains a very traditional country song. And it's one of those songs I don't need to hear again. But this week, I've heard it a ton...

Most of us dream of one day being rich. As a youngster, I thought making six figures a year made you rich. Then, when you start making more money, you realize that's still not a lot of money. Then you dream of being a millionaire. But compared to some of the richest people in America, that's nothing. We all know that Elon Musk is the wealthiest person in America, but it's fascinating to note that 47 of the 50 states have at least one billionaire residing within their borders. And the sixth richest man in the US, Bill Gates, isn't even the wealthiest resident of Washington. I can't fathom being a billionaire, but I can dream...

Do you ever read reviews for movies, TV shows, books, or music? In the past, we used to pay attention to what the reviewers had to say. Nobody went to the movies without hearing what Siskel and Ebert thought. We had to know whether a film received a thumbs-up or thumbs-down. Anyone who loved rock music always had to check out the reviews in Rolling Stone. People even wanted to know what their local critic said in the newspaper about the latest TV shows, movies, and theater productions. However, I can’t recall the last time I read a review to determine whether I would consume some type of media. I know I’m not the only one...

This summer has been a hot one. August is usually our warmest month, with temperatures in the 90s nearly every day. We're already seeing that, and it's only mid-July. And what's interesting is that, along with the heat we're experiencing, we're getting pop-up showers almost every day. They're like the heat showers that my parents get down on the Gulf Coast of Florida on summer afternoons. It doesn't rain very long, and it also comes with thunder and a few bursts of lightning. That's followed by a 4 to 5-minute downpour, and then it's over. The rain makes things even steamier, and that makes late afternoons no fun...

Any good Midwesterner knows that this is just the beginning of the corn on the cob season here in the US. While you can get corn in June or July, it’s really not best until August and September. That’s when the sweet corn is at its peak and its lowest price. But that hasn’t stopped two restaurant chains from featuring summer dishes with little corn cobettes. Is this just a coincidence, or do we have an overabundance of corn this year? Both Cracker Barrel and Red Lobster have new dishes featuring corn cobettes. Is corn cheap this year?

Product recalls have become a fact of life. Not a day goes by when another product gets recalled. I vaguely remember hearing about them in the early 1970s. However, upon reviewing their history, the first major recall was by Cadillac in 1958. To this day, recalls in the automobile sector happen frequently. Just the other day, Ford announced a recall of 850,000 vehicles for defective fuel pumps. And that was just in one day. And sometimes, you’re directed not to use your vehicle. How convenient is that?

Back in my younger days, I remember TV shows like ABC's Wide World of Sports. There, they showed you all sorts of obscure sports and things like the Harlem Globetrotters basketball. Bowling was also a popular sport on television years ago. But many argued whether bowling was a sport. Baseball, football, basketball, you can take one look at the people playing and know that they're athletes. The other night, I found myself watching the World Darts Championship.

I was sitting around the house last night with nothing to do, and often, when that happens, my mind begins to wander. I was watching television and saw a commercial for the new Superman movie. And I thought to myself, why do we have so many remakes and reboots these days? So much of the media we consume is just an updated version of something we’ve seen before. I realize it’s easier to force-feed us something that the studios know we’ve already liked. But are we that afraid of taking chances? I do wonder.

In my younger days, I was obsessed with sports. While I followed most sports, basketball, and baseball consumed my life. But somewhere in my early teens, sports started to matter a bit less. At that point, music became my passion. I didn't have any ability to play an instrument or sing, but with a radio studio always around, I was able to immerse myself in all types of music. It was only logical that music would be a significant focus throughout my radio career. And sometimes, I shock myself with the number of songs I know.

Fortunately, I’m not the moodiest one in our house. And no, I’m not talking about my wife. I’m talking about our cat, Bizzie. She’s been that way since we adopted her.

Air travelers got a pleasant surprise yesterday. The Office of Homeland Security announced that we would no longer be required to take our shoes off when boarding an airplane. While this was a slight hassle, over the last 20 years, we had grown accustomed to it. Now, thanks to the introduction of the Real ID, the need to remove our shoes magically disappeared.

What's that old saying: two's company and three's a crowd? I suppose that's the way you could view American politics and our two-party system. The Democrats and Republicans have done all they can to minimize any other parties coming to predominance. As you know, it wasn't always Democrats and Republicans. Initially, there were the Federalists and the Democratic-Republicans. Plus, later, we had the Whig party. However, throughout generations, we have evolved into the two parties we have today. But if Elon Musk has his way, we're going to become a multiparty system with his new America party, And that could shake up politics as we know it...

Recently, we discussed how to maintain a happy relationship with your spouse. Today, we're exploring relationships and how they're portrayed on social media. One thing I've noticed is how some people constantly remind us how great their relationship is and how much they love one another. And while that may be true, new research suggests that most happy couples are essentially deceiving themselves. If a person needs to constantly remind everyone about how great things are, they're likely dealing with relationship insecurity. The more insecure people are, the more they need to remind everyone and themselves that all is well...

For decades, whenever people discussed their favorite baseball team, the answers were similar. And which one is America's team? It may be the Yankees, the Braves, the Dodgers, or the Cubs. But this year, when the question gets asked, The answer to the question could be a surprise. This year, the answer would likely be the Savannah Bananas.

The classic movie Back to the Future is celebrating a significant anniversary. The Michael J. Fox blockbuster just celebrated the fortieth anniversary of its release. It's hard to believe that the adventures of Marty McFly and Doc Brown have been a part of our lives for so long. There has been extensive social media coverage, along with numerous memes that I have lost count of. There was one that stood out to me. As we all know, the teenager travels back thirty years in time, from 1985 to 1955. The meme pointed out that if they made the film today in 2025, he'd be traveling back to 1995.

Don't worry, everything's fine. I was scrolling through my newsfeed yesterday and read a story about emergency room coverage. Experts say that the 4th of July is, on average, the busiest night in the ER each year. Actually, the 4th and the 5th are typically most active thanks to injuries sustained from fireworks. Two other busier-than-normal times in the hospital are December 31st and January 1st. Of course, fireworks are used on those nights, too. While I appreciate watching a big, high-powered fireworks show, I don't have any interest in shooting them off myself. I don't know why so many people feel the need...

Food trends come and go. Some last just a short time, and some never go away. Tapas parties were once a trend. It didn't last long. Fondue was a popular trend, but it cooled. It never went away but became niche. One trend that appears to be lasting and evolving is the popularity of hot and spicy foods. Cajun hot sauces and Nashville Hot Chicken are both part of the trend, and their popularity fluctuates. Now, some of the fast food chains are jumping on board. Wendy's is now promoting their Taki's Fuego Meal, with a Taki's chicken sandwich and Taki's fries. Next week, McDonald's is debuting two spicy McMuffin sandwiches. It never stops...

Are you cool? I don't mean temperature-wise; I'm talking about your aesthetic. If you are, a wide range of people have to agree. I'm not embarrassed that I've always wondered about myself. I've always known the answer, but a boy or man can dream. A recent worldwide study has identified six traits that people who are perceived as cool across cultures share. The fascinating part of this research is that they feel these six traits are not only shared universally but also across time.

Even though people have often told me otherwise, I've never thought my voice was anything special. Through the years, I've known hundreds, if not thousands, of people with better ones. And with all my years talking on the radio, you'd think those muscles would be stronger than most. And perhaps they are, but then why does the voice always go out whenever I catch a cold or get the flu? Maybe it's because of all my sinus issues. While I feel congestion in my chest, I've never had a true chest cold. Perhaps that's because my voice muscles are so strong they don't affect my chest in the same way...

I had a rough weekend. This cold is tearing me apart. I’m physically exhausted. I don’t know why this cold is affecting me more severely than most, but I have lost my appetite. And for me, that says a lot. My sleep schedule is all out of sync, and my body wants to sleep in the evening, not in the overnight hours. When I take a shower, I need time to rest because all of the hot water drains me. My wife is still dealing with a cough, but at least she’s feeling a little bit better.

There's no question that times were much simpler in my youth. Toys were much simpler. Anything that might be considered high-tech required six D-sized batteries to operate. I'm sure technology plays a significant role in our loss of this simplicity. I used to love playing with Silly Putty. Even though its origins are technology-based, as a failed rubber substitute, it was a simple toy. Outside of Barbie and Hot Wheels, most of the toys from my younger days are long gone. Playing on a computer wasn't possible when I was a child, while today, kids as young as 3 or 4 are already learning how to use them...

I've never been a person who takes many sick days. I could count the number of times I called off work on one hand. I should have taken the day off yesterday. This Summer cold has got the best of me. I don't have much energy. While I worked from home yesterday like I often do on Fridays. I would have been better off taking the day off. But I had a lot of work to do, so I plowed through. When I finally had a chance to take a shower, I felt worse. I felt zapped. I had to rest so that I could build up the strength to sit in my easy chair and take a nap.

We're not even a week into Summer, and I already have a Summer cold. I didn't stand a chance. My wife started catching something over the weekend. We both have severe allergies, so at first, she wasn't sure if it was just allergies or something more. For her, it's a chest cold. It's not bad, just annoying. I started feeling it yesterday. Mine is in my throat. Just like my wife, I initially hoped it was just allergies, but my cough soon began, and I knew the truth.

Anyone married for more than a few years can tell you that you need to work on it daily. We all want a happy marriage, but it's easy to fall into a rut as the years fly by. Respect, honesty, and communication are some of the keys to making it work. But there may be a shortcut to ensure a couple's happiness. European researchers have studied hundreds of couples to learn the keys to a successful union. And it comes down to one thing: PDA, which refers to public displays of affection. For the most part, the type you choose to display doesn't matter. Kissing, hugging, or even cuddling will make a difference...

I've talked about this subject before. A group called People's Union USA is organizing another economic blackout. This time, they're targeting McDonald's. In the past, they've gone after other major companies like Amazon, Walmart, and Target. They feel that corporate greed is causing many of the issues in our country. Allowing these companies to grow so large is a serious problem. While they get a lot of news coverage, no one is sure how much impact their boycotts are causing.

But today, I live for the days when I can do nothing. Yesterday was one of those days where my wife and I had no errands to run and no projects to do. So we laid low.

But as our society shifted, office jobs became the norm. But that norm may be no more because, for many, there is no such thing as an 8-hour workday. Thanks to technology, we're always on the clock.

Who doesn't love getting something for nothing? But as we eventually learn, nothing is ever free. There is always a cost involved. We all pay for perks.

Over the years, I've been accused of being a complex person. Some consider this a compliment, but to others, it's not. But as I've gotten older, I've mellowed. And now, you might even say I'm simple. I get excited about the little things. And one of my favorite things is doing nothing. I always had a problem sitting still. But now, I live for those times when I can do nothing.

I was on the road last Friday, driving through Kentucky during a torrential downpour. As I drove, I witnessed something I sometimes see, but this time, it was extreme. Most drivers on the road had their hazards on. I haven't looked at a driver's manual in many years, but I've never lived in a state where that was acceptable. I've never held a license in a state where that was legal. Is this new? Sometimes, I see two or three people with the flashers on, but this was immense...

I've reached that age where you start thinking about slowing down. By the time my parents were my current age, they had retired. I can even imagine the fact. Then again, it's hard for me to believe that my father will turn 90 later this year. It seems like only yesterday I was tagging along when he went to work at the TV station. You and I both know that was thousands of yesterdays ago. The other day, I realized that my dad retired roughly 25 years ago. How can that be? Time is flying. My father told me that's what happens as we get older. Perhaps I can pretend...

During the pandemic, many companies forced employees to learn how to use online video conferencing software like Zoom, Webex, or Teams. For some, it was a tough adjustment. Many hoped these tools would go away once everyone returned to the office. However, many companies continue to use them today. Since I've spent a lot of time in front of a camera, I enjoy using them. But I'm sometimes obsessed with the camera, microphones, and lighting. Some people don't care how they look on a video conference. But I'm constantly tweaking the lights.

Sometimes, the strangest thing can trigger a memory. I don't remember the trigger, but the memory is as vivid as it can be. The other day, I started thinking about my childhood pediatrician. While I can't remember his name, I can remember the layout of his office and the waiting room. In the waiting room, he had a big rack filled with magazines. There were things like Reader's Digest, Sports Illustrated, Good Housekeeping, and one of my childhood favorites, Highlights. Nearly every kid ran around the waiting room looking for the latest issue. And since it came out monthly, there were always issues in the rack you'd never seen...

I'm sure you're familiar with the term mansplaining. If not, let me explain. I'm kidding! I don't think I have an issue with it; if I do, no one has pointed it out to me. I give everyone, man or woman, the benefit of the doubt that they know what I'm talking about. If they don't understand, I have no problem offering guidance at that point. But I've run into a situation that is not precisely the same; I view it similarly. I've dubbed this 'Britsplaining'.

The business of news is in constant flux. How it's gathered, reported, and presented is constantly changing. They have been for decades. For many years, people got the information they needed from the newspaper. But once radio and television entered the scene, the shifting quickened. In recent years, the internet has started affecting those longtime practices. Turn on the tube, and you can see that TV news is struggling with these changes. It's trying to keep up. And the next change may shock many. AI news readers could replace many local and national newscasters. And this could happen soon...

Sometimes, I see items in my newsfeed and shake my head in disgust. Last week, I saw the stories online. There was a zebra on the loose south of Nashville. A couple from nearby Murfreesboro decided they needed a zebra for their farm to go along with roughly 100 other animals. So they bought one from a company and had it shipped to Tennessee. The animal escaped through a fence in less than 24 hours and went on an eight-day journey. It was finally captured, unharmed on Sunday. Thankfully, the couple decided that having zebras on their farm wasn't a good idea. I sometimes think this only happens in Tennessee, but I know better...

Since yesterday, the phrase no good deed goes unpunished, rolling through my head. It was one of those weekends. We traveled to Northern Kentucky to watch one of my nephews play baseball. The drive one way lasted longer than the game. His team whipped the other so badly that the game only lasted three innings. And the opposing team never hit a ball close to him in left field. They never hit one out of the infield. And we dodged rain most of the day. Then I gathered up my sound system for a project I'm putting together, and it wouldn't power up. That means I have to find someone to work on it...

For years, I never understood old people trying to explain how young they looked and felt. Now that I'm old, I get it. I'm not saying I look young, but I'm always pleased when people still think I'm in my fifties. But sometimes, I must stop, reflect, and realize how much times have changed. Of course, technology plays a significant role in these changes. But it's not just that. This weekend, I went to see my 10-year-old nephew Rhett play baseball. He's in a travel league. And the field he played on is closer to a major league stadium than what our leagues played in back in the olden days...

Some people say that we're living in the golden age of comedy. Of course, they often say the same about the 1950s, the 1970s, and even the 1990s. One thing I've noticed is that we have so many comedians today. Well, at least we have people who think they're funny. Now, I'm not taking a jab at the professionals or even those who try out a routine at open mike night. The people on social media jumping into every conversation and hijacking it, trying to be funny, is causing this problem. I'm sure some have been doing this for years, but recently, I've noticed it happening in almost every conversation...

Do you remember Ronco? If you watched any TV in the 70s or 80s, I'm betting you do. Perhaps you remember their founder and inventor, Ron Popeil. If neither of those rings true, you might recognize some of their products: the Veg-o-Matic, Pocket Fisherman, or Mr. Microphone. I was thinking about one of their products recently. I was in my kitchen and had an issue with a stuck lid on my Yeti tumbler. All the items in my junk drawer to open lids weren't working.

Have you ever been involved in those class action lawsuits? I frequently get a settlement notice either via email or from the post office. I'm connected to so many websites that I get one of these things every few weeks. Most of the time, I don't even know if I even have a claim. Sometimes, I'll fill out the paperwork. Often, it's not worth my time and effort. My share of the payout is rarely more than a few dollars and often under a buck. The lawyers are the only people who really profit from the things.

While I love technology, I also like to hold onto my old stuff. People sometimes make fun of me for still using my old iPods. Sure, I've got an iPhone with all the bells and whistles, but I still like to use the old stuff for some projects I work on. But we now live in a world of planned obsolescence. Rather than repair the old tech, they tell you to throw it away and buy a new one. Most of my old gadgets still work. But every few years, they need battery replacement. And these days I can't find anyone who will do it. Even Apple won't touch them, and that's hugely frustrating...

One of the current trends on TikTok is called the McMigrane Meal. It's spreading the word that people can get relief from migraines and severe headaches. The recommended cure is to drink a regular Coca-Cola with french fries. It may not work for all, but it can't hurt. I suffered from migraine-type headaches for many years. And I swear by a similar 'cure'. My go-to is Coke and Pringles potato chips. I guess I should have posted my version on TikTok. Who knows; it could have gone viral.

When we're shopping, we're always looking for a deal. We're conditioned to look for sales or price reductions. Big box stores like Walmart and Target have conditioned us to look for the big sign shining a spotlight on our opportunity to save. But in recent weeks, news stories told to prepare for increases due to the President's proposed tariffs. My wife and I were shopping the other night, and she was looking at a new shirt. We noticed a price change sticker, but we didn't know the original price until we got home with the shirt. Much to our chagrin, it was a $3 price increase. And there's one likely reason...

Like many kids, I loved it when I heard the bells of the ice cream truck heading down my street. I know they still exist, but they're not something you often see. Now that we have convenience stores, you can get your favorite frozen treat anytime. Back in the day, I had a few go-to choices. A bomb pop or a creamsicle were always at the top of my list. Creamsicles or orange cream isn't always easy to find. But that might change this year. Tastemakers claim that it'll be the flavor of Summer.

There are things we enjoy when we're children that we can't imagine doing as adults. For me, a perfect example would be playing in mud puddles. The other day, I watched a kid playing do precisely that. I was driving by, but it looked like he was playing with some toy trucks. I remember doing that as a youngster, but I quickly grew out of that phase. I'm not sure why we're so fascinated with mud when we're young. Of course, we got dirty, and that meant taking a bath, which most kids hate. It's okay to get sweaty as we age, but outside of playing sports, no one likes to get dirty...

As a society, are we obsessed with sports? Perhaps it's just an American thing. Even in the off-season, every sport tries to stay in the public eye. We talk football year-round. When teams are eliminated from the NBA or NHL playoffs, they immediately start trying to hype the upcoming season that's months away. Yesterday, I read an article hyping who is leading the baseball MVP race, and the season only began a little over two months ago. The MVP award won't be announced until November.

By now, you've probably heard about the government's plan to stop minting pennies. They found it costs more to make them than what they're worth. There are still numerous questions about how all of this works moving forward. The government suggests rounding prices to the nearest 5¢. I've yet to read exactly how sales taxes will work into this. The good news is that if you still have pennies, you can use them because they're legal tender. But you won't be getting any back as change. But all of these changes still pose one problem.

Technology has often posed a challenge in school settings. Back in my day, pocket calculators started showing up in classrooms. At first, they were outlawed. However, teachers and administrators found a way to integrate them into their systems over time. Now, they're no big deal. But today, we have other technology that is posing problems. College students are starting to use artificial intelligence to help them write papers. Using tools like ChatGPT isn't as obvious as a calculator.

You're likely familiar with the acronym GOAT if you follow any sport. It's short for the greatest of all time. People continuously argue about the merit of which people should be considered the greatest in their sport. Legendary boxer Muhammad Ali is credited with being the first person to be called the greatest of all time. Hip-hop icon LL Cool J was the first person to use the acronym when he used it for the title of an album in 2000. Today, it's thrown around in various ways that aren't sports-related.

Today is Memorial Day here in the U.S., And perhaps I'm being a bit sensitive, But I've noticed in recent years how people feel the need on social media to tell us who we honor on this day. My timeline is filled with so many people making a declaration. Do you need this constant reminder? I realize some still don't know the difference between Memorial Day and Veteran's Day.

I love dessert. You can look at me and see that I haven't skipped the sweets through the years. I don't have a sweet tooth, but I love most sweets.

For others, it could be a preference for cake, pie, or even donuts. Me, I love them all. But I couldn't just eat one type of dessert for the rest of my life. I love variety. But lately, I'm obsessed with finding that one sweet I can't live without...

My nephew, Ray, graduated from high school last night. And for him, it's a massive moment in his life. We all think that when we graduate. But, as I look back to my school days, I realize that while it was a big deal then, I barely remember it now. The further away we get from our school days, we understand that school is just a series of marathons and sprints. Those school years dragged while we experienced them, but there's so much more important once we're in the real world. Thirteen years of school was a lifetime then, but now it's just a small portion of your life...

Barbecue is a very personal food. Where you grew up or where you live now often determines your preferences. For some, it's brisket. For others, ribs. And then there's the people of love pulled pork. But it's not just the BBQ you prefer; the style is also essential. People from Texas will argue with those from Kansas City about brisket. In Memphis, they're all about ribs. In fact, Tennessee is very split about its favorites depending on where you live. People in the western part of the state prefer theirs over the styles enjoyed in both Eastern and Middle Tennessee...

Sustainability is a topic that's extremely important to people throughout the world. And young people, particularly Millennials and Gen Z, are very focused on the subject. That makes sense since they have the most to lose if we don't get ahead of the plastic and paper waste issues we have. One way that people are embracing sustainability is through the use of refillable products. And major retailers, including Walmart and Target, are experimenting with refilling stations in their stores. They're very popular where they're in use, and some are willing to pay more to help the planet. That's music to the ears of some companies...

If you live in an area that often experiences severe weather, a weather radio is a good thing to own. While phone apps that track weather are good, they won't wake you from a dead sleep like a radio directly connected to the National Weather Service. Growing up in radio and TV newsrooms, I've spent endless hours listening to them through the years. Of course, I have one too, here in my house. And it will wake me up if severe weather hits overnight. But, they only work when they're online. Our radios have been down for three days. And that's not good when severe storms are in the area...

I started using an ATM to do my banking back in the late 1970s. Back then, they were extremely convenient. Lately, it seems like anything but convenient. I don't visit a kiosk very often, thanks to digital and online payments. Now I use them for an occasional deposit when someone writes me a check, or if I need cash. Like most people, I don't carry much money anymore. So I only use an ATM three or four times a year. While the technology has improved in some machines, there always seems to be some minor issue.

Even before we started working from home during the pandemic, researchers began looking into how remote work impacted our lives. Now, a little over five years later, they're releasing their findings. And it will come as no surprise that people who work from home are happier. This study didn't focus on productivity; it looked at our feelings. It finds that we sleep more, eat better, and enjoy a better work-life balance. This isn't a fight between working in the office and working solely from home. It finds that the added flexibility helps us enjoy work more. And happier workers are better employees...

For the last few decades, wholesale clubs have been an excellent way for families to save money on things they can buy in bulk. For many people, if you can't find it at Costco or Sam's Club, you don't need it. I was a Sam's Club member about 20 years ago, but didn't use it much. I'm unsure how much money I saved by going there rather than going to Walmart, Target, or the grocery store. When you have a family with kids, the savings can add up. Many wonder how much the new tariffs will have on the prices at your favorite wholesale club. Experts are divided on the outcome...

There's no denying that COVID-19 changed our world. Many businesses didn't survive the loss of business. And for many that did, the struggle continues. Many national chains are losing locations at a rapid clip. Many restaurants, convenience stores, and banks are closing. And it often happens overnight. You visit a store one day, and the next day, a sign taped to the door reads: this location closed. Have we overbuilt? Are they having problems finding people to work there? Could this be corporate greed? One thing is for sure: this trend isn't ending anytime soon...

Research says that many major US cities are slowly sinking. Nashville is one of them. Other cities with the same issues include Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, and New York. Some of the reasons are natural, and others are man-made. Now, this isn't happening quickly. Nashville is sinking one millimeter per year. In other cities, the average is three millimeters per year. Researchers are trying to understand why and, more importantly, figure out what they can do to stop this. Some cities like Nashville are experiencing similar drops citywide. In other metropolitan areas, the dip can vary in different parts of town...

One of the first things you learn in journalism classes is to put the key information in the first paragraph of a story. If you don't include the information up front, your professor will sternly remind you not to bury the lede. And yes, that's the proper journalistic spelling for the word lead. That's one of many things I learned in those classes. You don't want people to think you're describing the metal lead. People who write online news today don't follow that rule anymore. They aim to get you to stay on the page and keep scrolling. I don't think they're worried about following the rules...

If you're a baseball fan, yesterday's biggest news didn't happen on the field; it came from the commissioner's office. Yesterday, they announced that 17 players previously banned from baseball are being reinstated. The catch: all of these former players were deceased. The real story is that with this change, both Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson, from the 1919 Black Sox scandal, are now eligible for the Hall of Fame. After being banned in 1989 for betting on baseball, Pete Rose did everything he could to get reinstated. He tried for three decades to no avail. But now that he has passed, he'll finally come up for a vote this Summer...

If you've followed national news over the last few weeks, you've likely heard stories of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, making arrests in hundreds of cities. They've been in Nashville for about a week. And as they've done everywhere, they've made hundreds of traffic stops and even stormed our lower Broadway tourist area. They've even taken young children as the school bus drops them off in the afternoon. It's a scary time for our immigrant population, both those here legally and illegally.

On Mother's Day, it goes without saying that we make sure to honor our mother, the mother of our children, perhaps a mother-in-law, a stepmother, and even our grandmothers. But there's someone else we should acknowledge today: Anna Jarvis. She is the woman who created Mother's Day. Anna's mother was a community organizer who worked with women throughout her life. She encouraged them to be active in their community, working to ensure that children lived happy and healthy lives. Anna, inspired by her mother's work, created an event to honor the service our mothers provide. The rest is history, but it has a unique twist...

At their essence, numbers are simple. Now I'm not talking about complex mathematical equations. I'm talking about the digits on the front and back of your favorite athlete's jersey. To many, those numbers may seem trivial. There's only room for one or two on each jersey, so they must be under 100. Some athletes are given a uniform, and they take what they get. But those digits are essential for many as they rise through the sports ranks. They mean something. They become part of an athlete's persona. Call it superstition or silliness.

The Conclave has released the white smoke, which means we have a new pope, Leo the XIV. I understand that this is important if you're Catholic, but why do so many others care? I'm not Catholic, but what's the difference between any of them? My wife, who is Catholic, says there's a lot of nuance to how each rules the church. The big news, and perhaps why so many care, is that this one is American. That's a first. Throughout the day yesterday, I was amused at how many people wondered if he was a Cubs or White Sox fan.

I'm sure you're familiar with the term, deja vu. It's the feeling of having experienced something before, despite it being a brand-new situation. I can't count the number of times I've felt deja vu. Doctors explain why we feel it by comparing our brain to a computer hard drive. All these bits of memory spinning around get jumbled in our brain and cause a hiccup in our brain's hard drive.

You don't have to remember too much of what you learned in high school science class to know that nothing on Earth survives without oxygen. For decades, researchers have worked to pinpoint when they expect the planet to die. Does climate change make a difference in this prediction? The answer is probably. I know that's a bit wishy-washy, but there is one thing that the researchers and scientists know. As the planet warms, CO2 levels are impacted. And when they drop, that will affect photosynthesis. If we don't have that, oxygen isn't made. You know what happens then...

Influencers are a hot topic when it comes to social media marketing. There are different scales and categories as to how they work. But today, many companies turn to people with a large social media following. Often, the size of the following, while important, isn't the key driver to measuring someone's online social influence.

Many chain restaurants are struggling. Especially the ones that have lots of locations. The COVID-19 pandemic affected all businesses in some way. However, some restaurants were having issues before 2020. Cracker Barrel was one of those restaurants. They went into the pandemic with profits lagging. New management came in and made some changes. They've added alcohol to their menu. They've removed some longtime favorites from the menu. That helped business, but there was one thing that many people felt was a big issue, their decor. Longtime customers love it, but many avoid the restaurant because of it...

I love idioms, or, as they say on Jeopardy, quotable quotes. I'm especially fascinated with learning the origins of these quotes. While doing some research yesterday, I stumbled upon one of my favorites: "close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades." I've heard it for decades and used it myself numerous times. But I never knew the origin until yesterday. I expected the origins to involve war in some way. But I wasn't even close. The origin of this quote is a baseball legend and only dates back to 1973. I'm dumbfounded. I could swear I've been using it longer than 50 years...

When you go to buy a new car, you expect the salesperson to try to upsell you. They want you to add some options or a protection plan. You can expect the same when you go to the department store to buy a new shirt or some pants. Back in my retail days, they called that selling multiples. But I never expected my pharmacist to try to upsell me. Yesterday, when I finally was able to fill my eye drop prescription, the tech kept pushing me to schedule a Prevnar vaccine.

As we age, prescriptions become a fact of life. And, of course, most people complain about the rising cost of these medications. While I'm ranting today, it has nothing to do with money. My gripe is the hassle of filling them. Years ago, the doctor would write up what we needed on a piece of paper, we'd take it to the pharmacy, wait a bit, and they'd hand us our medication and send us on our way. But today, technology has changed everything, supposedly for the better. But the system rarely speeds things up. There has to be a better system. And lowering prices wouldn't hurt either...

BOOM! It's not a common word. Sure, it's been around forever. Usually, when I hear the word, sports are involved. In basketball, the legendary Indiana Pacers broadcaster Slick Leonard used Boom Baby as his catchphrase for decades. It was an internet meme years ago, foo. But other than seeing it used for explosions in cartoons, it's not a word you often see until this weekend. Over the weekend, I saw two television commercials use a form of the word. One advertiser was Comcast, and they were talking about their fast internet. The other was Old National Bank. To hear this in two different commercials is strange...

I spent the last few days watching the NFL Draft. The big story was the tremendous fall of Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders. He was expected to be drafted in the first round but dropped until the fifth round. The experts were beside themselves. They claimed that nothing like this had ever happened before. I could only think of the Kevin Costner football movie Draft Day. That was part of the movie's plot. The big QB expected to be picked in the first round keeps dropping because teams get a bad vibe.

Why are oatmeal cookies so unpopular? I have no shame in admitting that I like them a lot. For most, chocolate chip cookies are the favorite. And I like those, too, but they're often inconsistent. They can be too dry, too chewy, and often very gritty. I don't find the same problems with oatmeal. The biggest complaint is when you add raisins. And those seem to bother a lot of people. I'm not a picky person, so they don't bother me. But for many, raisins are a deal breaker. Maybe that's why people are so picky.

Traffic signals have mostly been the same since I started driving nearly fifty years ago. Three lights are stacked: red on top, yellow in the middle, and green on the bottom. Back in the early 1900s, when the automobile started hitting the road, there was only a red and green light. It looks like this could be changing soon. There's talk of adding a fourth light that's white. This light is being developed to aid autonomous or driverless vehicles. The white lights will come into play when multiple driverless vehicles are in the area. We should start preparing because this will be a significant change...

Doctors have told us that we need to limit the amount of red meat we eat. But it isn't easy for those of us who love our steaks and burgers. We're encouraged to eat more chicken and fish or, heaven forbid, go meatless. Now, new research tells us that we need to limit the amount of chicken we eat. And while this is only one study, the research tells us that we also consume it in moderation. The good news is that this research doesn't address all poultry, so we have options.

In the Summer of 2014, the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge was all the rage on social media. It was a viral sensation. It went away as quickly as it appeared. I shouldn't be shocked, but another challenge is upon us eleven years later. This time, a student organization at the University of South Carolina has brought it back to shine the spotlight on mental health. They posted their first video on social media just a few weeks ago.

Today is Earth Day. And while many people know that it is, they don't know what it means. Earth Day was an idea that started in the late 1960s. With all the issues we faced back then, the Vietnam War and race relations, the people who came up with the idea had the vision for creating events similar to the sit-in protests that were so popular. The initial idea was for Earth Day to be a teach-in. It was similar to those sit-ins but focused more on education. Research quickly told the organizers that people wanted something different. So they fine-tuned the idea. And while it's still going 55 years later, much has changed...

Insurance rates are going up. I know that's nothing new. Let me clarify: Your auto insurance rates are about to jump. And it doesn't matter if you don't have any accidents or speeding tickets on your record. Your rates are about to jump because of the pending foreign tariffs. The price of insurance isn't based solely on your driving habits. It's also based on the price companies pay to repair vehicles that are involved in accidents. Since most auto parts used for repair are foreign-made, those parts will be hit with tariffs. And you know who's paying for that...

Today, many kids will get a visit from the Easter Bunny. Many will get candy, chocolate bunnies, marshmallow Peeps, and money. In my day, we dyed Easter Eggs. It was the same thing every year. My parents would buy a dozen eggs, my mother would hard boil them, and then I'd pull out the Paas kit to make them colorful. Then, the Easter Bunny would stop by our house, go to the refrigerator, and hide the dozen we dyed around the house. I never got candy. The highlight was knowing that we'd have egg salad sandwiches for a few days. Today, I doubt that many kids boil those eggs. They cost a lot more than candy...

Diet soda is a big business. It has been for decades. Today, everyone loves Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi. But they weren't the first, not even close. Coke first gave us Tab. Pepsi offered the short-lived Patio. However, the first brand that paved the way for artificially sweetened soft drinks was created by RC Cola in the 50s. It was called Diet Rite. I say 'was", because Dr Pepper/Keurig, the company that most recently owned the brand, has quietly pulled the plug. It started regionally in 1958 and went nationwide in 1962. Within a year, it was the fourth best-selling soda brand behind Coke, Pepsi, and RC...

I'm not sure if you'd consider this an acronym, but I see a slang term on social media almost every day: IYKYK. Often, it's written as a hashtag, but rarely do you see it written in full. It's short for the phrase, if you know, you know. It was cute the first hundred times I saw it in the 2010s. Now, not so much. I spend a lot of time on social media, so I probably see it more often than you do. But this seems like one of those things that people do to beg for comments.

I read something the other day that surprised me. A candy bar that's been around for over 80 years is no longer made in a full-size version. Hershey discontinued the regular full-size Krackel bar. Actually, it was first discontinued 28 years ago. It never totally went away. You could always find it in the Hershey Miniatures bag. The regular-size bar came back for a brief moment in 2014 but again disappeared. I guess I don't cruise the candy aisle very often. I had no idea it had come and gone.

We all know that, but now some toy companies are telling parents they should shop early for Christmas. Yes, it's still eight months away, but companies are worried. With so many toys imported worldwide, they're already worried about their holiday business. Some items may never get shipped, and the ones that do might get stuck in shipping containers in some American port. And the items that do hit stores might cost double what they do today...

When you're young, you don't worry about the future. You're invincible. You can get through anything. But as you get older, you worry about things out of your control. You start thinking about things like Alzheimer's and dementia. They're not things you can easily prevent. However, researchers in Europe recently found that people who get the two-dose shingles vaccine could also be staving off the chances of getting dementia. There's still much more information they need to gather, but many are excited to know that there might be added benefits to getting the shingles vaccine...

We all have pet peeves. I have more than my share. Sometimes, we have things that bother us that we don't encounter often, but when we do, we make a note and add them to our list. I came across this over the weekend. My wife and I were dining at a brunch restaurant, and about an hour before they were to close their doors, they started vacuuming. I also see this happen when I go shopping at the mall before closing time. These businesses are too worried about closing and getting out the door rather than serving their customers. Times are changing, but this is a poor choice...

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? Life is much more complicated than in the good old days. As we get older, we tend to believe our youth was the best of times. It doesn't matter what the years were when you were young; our memories look back and feel those were the best. Kids today will probably think they say when they're old and gray. Is anything uncomplicated these days? Sadly, I don't think so...

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 have trouble locking their car doors. I know this because I got an alert on my phone the other day. It was from the Metro Nashville Police Department telling me how many guns have already been stolen from vehicles here this year.

People often say there's a big difference between watching the game in person and watching it on TV. While I love seeing sports up close, whether it's a stadium, arena, or ballpark, there are some benefits to enjoying everything from the comfort of your easy chair. You can pause the action when you have to go to the bathroom. It's easier to grab a snack when watching from home. Plus, the food costs are much less.

This time of year, many yearn for warm weather and coastal beaches. Spring break is on everyone's mind. But have you ever thought about the sand you want to dig your toes into? We're actually running out of it. Technically, the sand at the beach is worth very little. But there are different types. The kind you buy at Lowe's or Home Depot for building projects differs. We dredge it from rivers, and it's not manufactured. That's the type we need for road and building construction. We use billions of tons of this aggregate every year for building. And that's what's in short supply...

Helium is in short supply. We've discussed this a couple of times over the last few years. Depending on how you look at it, it's either a recurring or ongoing shortage. Helium isn't a gas that we manufacture. It's mined like natural gas. And that means there is a finite supply. The medical industry uses the gas in many ways. It's the biggest user of helium throughout the world. Plus, it's now used to produce electric vehicle batteries and manufacture semiconductors. And experts say our need for helium will double in the next decade. And that's a huge problem...

I love a good road trip. And there are a few things that are key to making them effortless. Before smartphones, you needed a map or atlas to plan your route. Today, you only need to worry about cheap gas and clean restrooms. There are apps that can tip you to the current gas prices, but finding the best bathrooms is tougher. Anyone who has visited Buc-ee's raves about the facilities, but there aren't many locations across the US. Truck stops are hit or miss, but knowing the best gas stations in each state is key.

As we reach the month's final day, March Madness is winding down. The men's NCAA basketball tournament is down to their final four teams. All are number 1 seeds, the top four teams in the tournament. The women's tournament will be down to the final four later tonight. Two teams have advanced, and they're both number-one seeds. Of the two remaining games in the Elite Eight, the lowest seed remaining is number two. All of the Cinderella teams are long gone from the tournaments. For many, that's a big disappointment.

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, mainly when I'm producing each day's podcast. The pair I've used for the last six or seven years finally bit the dust the other day. They weren't fancy or expensive, but they sounded great and were comfortable to wear for long periods. I loved those headphones...

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 Mark Madness, their marathon of Mark Harmon's long-running TV show, NCIS. I love the pun. All my years in media and marketing made me appreciate people who can creatively market something that many find boring. You can watch NCIS on numerous channels, but I'll remember this...

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. It's the third longest-running vehicle line behind the Chevrolet Suburban and the Ford F-Series pickup. When you think of a big rig, it's one of the visuals that comes to mind. It's the rig that the Snowman drove in Smokey and the Bandit. The look of this semi hasn't changed since the 1980s.

The NCAA men's basketball tournament resumes tonight with only 16 teams left. Some say this year's March Madness doesn't feel the same. The tourney is changing. You can look directly at the Sweet 16 and see changes. This year, only four conferences are being represented in this round. In every year previously, there were at least seven conferences. Experts say this trend will continue. There are now fewer conferences, and they are also compensating players for their name, image, and likeness (NIL). That likely means the days of the Cinderella team are gone for good. That makes me sad...

We've heard about the mounting number of measles cases spreading through West Texas and parts of New Mexico for a couple of months. But now, other states are starting to see cases pop up. We have a few already in Tennessee. Most people who are vaccinated should be okay. But some, including myself, wonder if we need a booster shot. The original measles one-dose vaccine debuted in 1963. The two-dose version followed just five years later. If you've had the two-dose version, you should be fine. The most vulnerable people are those who have never received the vaccine.

There are two kinds of people: those who shower in the morning and those who shower at night. I know that oversimplifies things, but it says a lot about you when you shower. Doctors even argue about which one is best. Today, more doctors feel that showering before you go to bed is the best for your body. While I understand the benefits, there's no way I could get up every morning and go out in public without showering. My bedhead every morning is wicked. And there isn't enough dry shampoo to fix the mess on my head. Should we consider short showers twice a day? Doctors don't weigh in on that...

It may not describe you, but you likely know someone who is extremely online. This has nothing to do with the time spent using social media; it's about their connection to being a trendsetter.

Yesterday, we discussed a couple of the items that Nashville is trying to improve: sidewalks and bike lanes. But as my wife often declares, that's not a real problem. She thinks we need more streetlights. That isn't a priority in Middle Tennessee. Our streets have always seemed dark. And the interstates in both Tennessee and Kentucky seem the same. Is this on purpose or a problem due to lack of maintenance? I've lived in many states and driven through more than half of the U.S., and this area seems much darker than most.

As Nashville grows, we're doing what we can to improve the city, not just for tourists but the people who live here year-round. Making the city more livable is essential to those running the city. At least, that's what they tell us. Building more sidewalks and bike lanes will give people options for getting around town. That may be true, but there's one thing we still need to work on. People using these new bike lanes and sidewalks need to make sure they can be seen at night. I see too many people walking and riding while wearing dark-colored clothing...

Have you ever looked at the calendar and realized that the date means something? That happened to me yesterday. I looked at the calendar and noticed that it was March 20th. For some reason, the date seemed familiar. But I can't remember why. So, of course, I racked my brain trying to think. Was it someone's birthday? Perhaps it was an anniversary. The date may have something to do with one of my old jobs. I still can't remember. I've been on the earth for a long time, and a lot of dates have some significance. But who knows what it was?

I'm not one of those guys who are obsessed with shoes. What are they called, sneakerheads? Now, my wife might argue the fact. I do own too many pairs of Crocs. I've had bad feet since I was a teen, so comfort is key. But over the last few weeks, I've become obsessed with college basketball players' shoes. I don't care about the brand or the model of the shoe. I'm stunned by the color of the shoes that some players are wearing. I've seen bright red, hot pink, and canary yellow.

I've always been a curious person. Sometimes, the silliest thing can send me down a rabbit hole. Last night, I watched a play-in game for the NCAA Tournament and saw a commercial for Starbucks. They were promoting lavender matcha, which is only available for a limited time. I'm not sure why, but that got me searching the internet for the history of these items that come and go from fast food menus. McDonald's has been doing this for decades.

I spent much of my late teens and early 20s in one of two places: the radio station or the shopping mall. I didn't hang out at the mall; I worked there. I worked as a stock boy, salesperson, and inventory specialist for a jeans store in the southeast. It's long gone, as is the parent company that owned it. When I wasn't working there, I was working on the radio. My retail career only lasted a few years, but I've always had a fondness for the mall. Today, malls and shopping centers are dying.

I know that I've discussed this before, but I've never understood why people get so excited about St Patrick's Day. It feels like we use the day as an excuse to party. But do you really need an excuse? While we have more responsibilities as we age, the best part of getting older is calling an audible and doing what we want for a day or two anytime we want. If you want to drink green beer in July, go ahead. You don't need a made-up day in May to have margaritas with friends. You can do it anytime you want. Sometimes, we need to cut loose. You don't need the 17th day of March to do that...

Every so often, I hear the voice of one of my college professors ringing in my ears. Dr Gallagher was one of my speech professors and a stickler for the English language. She had no tolerance for improper grammar. Dr G made me a much better communicator in my four short years under her tutelage. So, anytime I use slang, I think of her and how much she hated it. The other day, I was walking through the hallway at work and ran into one of my co-workers. And the same word came out of our mouths simultaneously: sup. It was at that moment I realized something...

The game of Monopoly has been around since the Great Depression. It's based on a similar game that was first created in the early 1900s. Before cable TV, video games, and the internet, it was a way to kill a lot of time. That was both a blessing and a curse. Games could go on for days. Even though it's one of the most popular board games of all time, it's tried to stay relevant. There are hundreds of variations. Now, Hasbro, the makers of Monopoly, are updating the game to be more in step with modern times. The paper money is disappearing, and you'll manage transactions with an app...

We live in a busy world. Many of us are busier than we've been in our lifetime. Even with all the conveniences we now can access, we can't escape being busy. Thanks to technology, we can do so much. Don't have time to go grocery shopping, you can opt for home delivery. Many stores like Walmart now allow you to shop online, and they'll deliver the items to your home. Numerous app-based companies can take care of everything for you as well.

I'm a guy that loves to shop. Even after working in the shopping mall throughout my youth, I still love a bargain. But there's one thing I hate when looking for new shirts, pants, or shoes. It's the lack of consistency in clothing sizes. I have to try everything on to ensure it fits before buying. That makes it difficult to shop online. I hate buying things online and then having to return them because the tag says it's my size, but when I try it on, it feels two sizes too small. For years I've had a problem with shirts and pants.

It's strange to say this, but the Spring Break season is upon us. Nashville schools are off this week, and many other districts across the country will be off over the next six weeks or so. My nephews will be heading out next weekend for their vacation. All of them need a break. At least, that's what they told me. I don't ever remember getting time off back in school. We got a few days around Easter, but that's all. I didn't know anyone who traveled for Spring Break until I was in college. But it's a different world today; Perhaps school is much more stressful...

I've heard the old wive's tale most of =my life. Feed a cold, starve a fever. But I'm often confused about whether that's correct. Perhaps it's really starve a cold, feed a fever. But right now, I know the first one is correct. I've been battling a slight cold for four or five days. Fortunately, it's a mild one. But I've been very hungry the last few days. Now, I'm often hungry, but recently, I've even been hungry after eating. I guess that's a good sign.

It's a problem that most of us have throughout our lives. We never seem to get enough sleep. When we're young, we never want to rest. We have the fear of missing out. We have schoolwork to do, or more importantly, a party we can't miss. As we age, we catch up on work or perhaps family obligations. While I don't have obligations per se, I want to spend as much time as possible with the family. Over the weekend, we made a quick trip to Indiana, but I'd been fighting a cold for a few days. So, while I'm there with everyone, my body wants to rest. And you know who will pay the price...

I try to keep up with the latest slang. But, like many Baby Boomers, I’m sometimes out of the loop. And I’m okay with that. Even when I was young, many phrases eluded me. The other day, I was scrolling through my news feed and came across some slang I wasn’t familiar with. But most importantly, if I hadn’t stopped to learn about sweet treats, I wouldn’t have learned about one of the things that concern the Millennials and Gen Z. Sweet treats aren’t always food items.

I read some sad news last week. Warner Discovery, the owners of HBO and the Max app, announced that they are opting to cease the production of Sesame Street. The long-running children’s show has been a part of our world since 1969 and touched the lives of millions upon millions of children; the show that airs today bears little resemblance to the one that made Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch household names. How we consume media today is much different than 50-plus years ago.

Do you start your day with a cup of coffee and some orange juice? Perhaps you enjoy a Screwdriver when you're out with friends. We're hearing about all of the items that will see price increases thanks to the new tariffs. Well, thanks to these tariffs and the fact that Florida orange growers are struggling, the price of that juice may skyrocket. Like many, I thought almost all the oranges we consume come from Florida. That used to be the case, but things changed in the last decade. Climate change and disease have impacted Florida growers, and the prognosis is not good...

I've reached that age where AARP reaches out to me regularly. That's the funny thing about getting older. The AARP starts to reach out shortly before you turn 60. But when do you actually become a senior citizen? Is it 60? 65? Some might say somewhere in between. I tend to think you're considered a senior citizen whenever and wherever you can get a senior discount. No one wants to think about getting older. And since many places don't openly advertise these special savings, we have choices. We can pay the regular price and, in our minds, still feel young. Or we can admit the truth...

The Lenten season is upon us, and in addition to all the religious activity involved, something else happens, too. Most fast-food restaurants start selling and advertising their fish sandwich. The most famous fast food fish sandwich is the McDonald's Filet-O-Fish. I used to eat them a lot, but their quality hasn't been very consistent in recent years. But there's another part of the Filet-O-Fish story that fascinates me. It was a sandwich that almost didn't happen. McDonald's had other plans. Their original plan for a sandwich to sell during Lent was called the Hula Burger...

There's so much for us to be concerned with in our world today. But sometimes, you just have to shake your head and wonder where some people's priorities lie. A few days ago, the Lieutenant Governor of Texas announced that he is pushing legislation to rename the New York Strip Steak the Texas Strip. Technically, the steak is considered the short loin. It has a variety of names in addition to the New York Strip. Since Texas produces the largest number of beef cattle in the U.S., some think renaming the steak is only fitting.

Where do you go when you want a sandwich? You can make one at home. Perhaps you can visit your local deli. Or you could get a sub at places like Subway or Jersey Mike's. It feels like everything is a chain these days. My wife and I were out running errands over the weekend, and I wanted something simple for lunch. So a visit to a sandwich shop would be a better alternative to fast food. But the old-fashioned sandwich shop doesn't exist in most towns today. It isn't easy to locate a mom-and-pop sub shop.

I was scrolling through my Facebook timeline last night and saw two groups I follow share pictures that opined about their defunct Sky Ride. You probably rode on the Sky Ride if you visited nearly any amusement park in the 1960s through the 1980s. At Nashville's Opryland, the Skyride traveled between Doo Wah Diddy City and the New Orleans section of the park. In my old hometown of Quincy, IL, their Sky Cruise flew from the riverfront to Quinsippi Island and back. Sadly, by the mid-1980s, the ride was gone; today, most of the remaining trams are also distant memories...

In my younger days, I spent a lot of time in stadiums, arenas, and ballparks. I watched a lot of minor league baseball, basketball, hockey, and many semi-pro sports. I did it with my father during his TV years and throughout my radio years. And I have a lot of great memories. One of the most significant challenges for these teams is getting people to pay attention. Teams create all types of promotions to get people to attend the games. One of these latest concepts is called alternate identities. This trend is starting to pick up speed across the country and in some of my old stomping grounds...

As the calendar prepares to head into March, much of America deals with potholes. Winter weather is never kind to our streets and highways. As much as I loathe potholes, I do my best to avoid them. But here in Nashville, we not only have potholes but ruts in the road caused by construction. As Nashville grows, it's impossible to miss the giant cement trucks that traverse our city streets. The street where my office sits currently has at least five new multi-story buildings under construction.

If you've scrolled through social media this week, you've probably seen an announcement from a group called People's Union. They're calling for an economic blackout from Midnight to Midnight tomorrow. Their goal is for everyone to boycott fast food, gas stations, and big box retailers for 24 hours. The goal is to show everyone that they're unhappy about the rising price of gas, groceries, and everything in between. It's a protest about economic greed. It's a message to the government that they're tired of how consumers are treated. The biggest question is, can it work? I have questions...

We all know how much our lifestyle and aging are connected. Sure, your diet and exercise can help in the aging process. Plus, if you smoke and/or drink, that can speed up your aging. However, researchers have found that there are other factors that are just as important but perhaps not as obvious. These environmental factors are often thought about regarding your aging. However, this new research says we need to rethink the importance of all these factors. Things like where we live, what we do for a living, how much money we make, and whether we have a partner or live alone also matter...

Yesterday, another major retail chain announced they were liquidating. Earlier this month, JoAnn Fabrics announced they had filed bankruptcy for the second time in less than a year. They hoped to reorganize and close nearly half their locations to survive. But over the weekend, the company's assets were sold, and they announced they were closing all stores over the next few months.

I've been driving for over 45 years. And a lot has changed over that time. Vehicles have changed, and the technology available to us is amazing. Thanks to that technology, there's little reason for us to ever get lost. There's no excuse for making a wrong turn. Yet even with all of the available tools, people still make mistakes and impede the progress of other drivers. Is this arrogance or ignorance? Perhaps people are just selfish.

Like many guys my age, I'll never be as rich or skinny as I'd like. But I shouldn't complain. Most of my objections in life are petty. But there are some things that drive me crazy. There's one small thing I've been bothered by for years. When you dine at a restaurant, why do appetizers come in odd, not even numbers? Take toasted ravioli, mozzarella sticks, or chicken wings. Nearly every time I order them when we dine out, the plate comes with an odd number, so one person at the table gets more than the other. I shouldn't complain because I usually get the extra piece...

Many years ago, measles was almost commonplace. Millions of people every year caught the virus. It was very common among children, and while not ordinarily deadly, cases were severe enough for worldwide concern. But everything changed in the early 1960s when the measles vaccine was invented. Almost overnight, the virus disappeared, and cases dropped annually to just hundreds. And while it's still possible to catch the virus, it's not usually a big deal. However, a recent outbreak in rural Texas has caused the medical world to be very concerned. Hundreds of people are spreading the virus, and the numbers keep growing...

If you're excited about baseball's spring training season getting underway, you've likely heard about a new development. It's called ABS and has nothing to do with your car's anti-lock braking system. ABS is an acronym for the automated ball-strike challenge system. It's being tested this year during spring training. It could take effect in the 2026 regular season if the owners approve. Umpires will still exist, but like the coach's challenge, flag football teams have a limit to the number of times they can be used. Baseball is a game that hates change.

Usually, when archaeologists make a major discovery, they find some new dinosaur fossils. However, researchers found something in Egypt that they've been searching for for over a century. It's the tomb of King Thutmose II. It's the first significant tomb discovery since 1922 when they found the tomb of King Tut. The fascinating thing about this discovery is that they located his mummified body in 1881. While they'd been looking for his resting place for over a hundred years, they thought they were about to find the tomb of the wife of another ancient king. Researchers were shocked...

Have you ever wondered why your parents went to bed early and woke up early? I've been a night owl most of my life, but that's changing. Now, I go to bed and wake up earlier than I used to. In recent years, I have no longer been able to escape the early-to-bed, early-to-rise lifestyle. There's a good explanation for these life changes: it's light. The light rules our bodies. But as we get older and our eyesight changes, we're affected by the light even more, and that affects our sleep. There are ways to fight it, but for many, it is a battle where the best you can do is win some and lose some...

Everyone loves to be complimented. Sure, some may be uncomfortable for a moment, but having someone say something nice about you is a wonderful feeling. For many, some recognition is more meaningful than other thoughts. One platitude I hear every now and then is that I have a voice that should be on the radio. Even though I don't hear what others do, it's the nicest compliment I can receive. Even though I've been out of the radio game for close to 20 years, I still have people say it to me.

There's a meme that I see every so often across social media. The meme always starts with the phrase, "how do you say." Let me give you an example: How do you say you're old without saying you're old? That phrase was running through my mind last night as I watched the SNL 50th anniversary special. I watched the first episode back in 1975, and I don't think I've missed many through the years. When I was younger, I arranged my social calendar around who the host and musical guests were. And now that my calendar is much quieter, I never miss a new one. The show's not made for me now, or perhaps it is...

We visited Indiana to see some of our nieces and nephews for Valentine's Day. It's always a good time, and we never get to spend as much time as we'd like. But one of the greatest feelings is walking into the room and seeing them for the first time in a while. The smile that comes over their face is genuine. But, ask them to smile, and many have a hard time. Many of us have difficulty with what should be a simple act. Some find smiling easy, while others struggle.

With all that is happening in Washington, DC, the FBI is hard at work trying to solve the recent burglaries of NFL stars Joe Burrow, Travis Kelce, and Patrick Mahomes. NBA stars Luka Doncic, Bobby Portis, and Mike Conley have also been victims. The experts feel that all of these robberies are the work of a South American crime ring. Law enforcement has arrested a few people and expects more to come in what they call crime tourism.

I know a little bit about a lot of subjects. It's something I learned back in my radio days. If you have even an ounce of knowledge about a subject, you can chat with anyone about any topic, whether you're at a cocktail party or conducting an interview. One subject I try to keep up with is science. I did well in school, but it wasn't my favorite subject. But when I read an online story about Earth's inner core, I had many questions but no one to ask. This news story said our inner core could experience landslides and volcanic activity.

For years, businesses have made us think we're getting a deal when a price ends in 99 cents. Instead of paying $20 for something, you often pay $19 and some change. It could be $19.99 or even $19.97, but it's still an old sales trick. Well, those days are changing. The President has told the Treasury Department to stop minting pennies. The coins you currently have will still be legal tender, but the days of prices that end in something other than a five or a zero might be gone.

Like many, I enjoy watching the Super Bowl for the commercials. If the game's not close, like last night's, the ads are usually what everybody is buzzing about the next day. And while some were amusing, I didn't see any commercials last night that we'll be talking about for decades. I don't know if cutting through the clutter with a Super Bowl ad is possible today. Another thing I noticed last night was the plethora of advertisements for upcoming movies. Most of them won't come out until this summer.

The Super Bowl is finally here. For many people, it's not about the game. Today is a day to get together with friends for a party. One of the most popular Super Bowl party foods is Buffalo wings, or just chicken wings if you don't like the hot sauce and blue cheese. Some people go all out for the game, while others keep it simple with things like chips and veggie trays. I always thought that wings were too messy. I keep my party foods simple.

The Super Bowl is almost here, finally. The two weeks between the conference championships and the big game seem much longer. And the hype leading up to the game is sometimes too much. Some of the most immense hype this year is Draft Kings' Kick of Destiny. This year, Peyton and Eli Manning are taking over the promotion from former Patriot Rob Gronkowski. Until yesterday, I thought the public was voting on which Manning brother would take the kick for cash. I didn't realize that they would be kicking against one another. I was hoping people could vote for their favorite brother. That would be interesting...
I've been immersed in the social media world for nearly two decades. Looking back to the days of MySpace, I'm amazed at all the differences. Technology has changed it all. We could never imagine just how much. Today, we have to look at every post that hits our feed and wonder if it's real or fake. Thanks to Artificial Intelligence, images can be manipulated to look legitimate even when they are not. Most people don't take the time to check the facts, they just assume a picture is real and move on. And since many social platforms don't want to police these fake images, we have to take the time to research them on our own...

Last night, I went out for drinks with a few of my coworkers. Some of our partners flew into Nashville yesterday. They have some meetings scheduled but want to get the team together after work. So we went down the street to one of our neighborhood bars. Like most places in Nashville, they have a friendly staff, plus dozens of big-screen TVs. And since it's Nashville, you might think they'd have some live music. But that wasn't the case. We didn't know it before we walked in, but it was trivia night. Now, I usually love to play trivia, but not on a night when I want to hang out with my coworkers...
Today, we're talking about the topic that won't go away: eggs. The prices continue to rise, that is, if you can find them. Over the weekend, my wife went out for her regular weekly grocery shopping. All they had in the refrigerated section was a sign offering an apology, but no eggs. I don't know if we can officially call this an egg shortage, but it seems like one. The owners of Waffle House think so too. The company has announced that rather than increasing prices on the entire menu, they are adding a surcharge to the price of every egg sold.

Do you ever watch those home-buying shows on HGTV? My wife loves programs like Million Dollar Dream Home and House Hunters. I don't understand how she tolerates them. While they're not like those outrageous reality TV programs that are all the rage, they're a bit twisted. The premise is simple. A couple is looking for a new home.

It's an understatement to say that the world is much different than when I was in school. Sure, technology has played a significant part, but there are other vast differences. In my first computer class in high school, we used punch cards, and the computer filled an entire room. In Junior High School, one of my close friends was on the shooting team. In grade school, we played dodgeball during gym class. But we called the game bombardment. I can't imagine that kids today still play dodgeball in school.

I consider myself a casual sports fan. At one time in my life, like many youngsters, I was obsessed with sports. While playing baseball and basketball, I also knew a lot about football and hockey. But once I graduated from college, I didn't pay quite as much attention. But I still try to keep up when it comes to the playoffs. That's when I tune into Sports Center and sports talk radio.

There are some habits you simply can't break. For me, it's watching the evening news most nights. Sure, I can watch the 24-hour news channels, which I do, but I've been watching the nightly news for decades. In recent years, it's just out of habit. Some of my most vivid memories from my youth were watching the Huntley Brinkley Report and their nightly recap of the Vietnam War. But something has changed in recent years. I'm actually paying attention to the commercials. Most of them today are for prescription drugs. These advertisers know their audience: old people like me...

Most of us have a bucket list of the places we want to go or things we want to do in our lifetime. We all have dreams. Some of these items are easier to accomplish than others. Many of us put away a little money every chance we get to save for that bucket list item. If attending the Super Bowl is on your list, now might be the time to act. Ticket prices for Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans are plummeting. The cheapest ticket to this year's game with less than 2 weeks to go is cheaper than it's been in the last few years. Many are speculating why the prices are down...

There's a great deal of talk about the price of eggs, milk, and bread. Grocery staples are always key indicators of the economy. Right now, the cost of eggs is skyrocketing because of the bird flu. For some reason, even though chicken prices are also increasing, you don't hear people discussing that. Now, chicken prices aren't as outrageous, but we're used to the fluctuation of meat, poultry, and fish prices. But what choice do most families have? Breakfast options may differ for some, but most of us need what we need. And sometimes there are no substitutions...

I've been told numerous times that I have a high tolerance for pain. I guess that's a good thing, or is it? Pain is something that's tough to quantify. Since each of us has a different tolerance, comparing with someone else is nearly impossible. For many women, childbirth is one of the most painful things they'll experience. For men, many will agree a kick in the groin is one of the worst feelings. But a recent study says there is one pain that both men and women can agree is worse than anything else: kidney stones. Anyone who has experienced them likely agrees...

We don't consume a lot of bread in our house. While my wife and I love carbs, we try to keep them to a minimum. Every so often, we'll have soup and sandwiches for dinner. If I'm going to have a sandwich, give me Ham and Swiss on rye bread with mustard, and I'm a happy guy. There's only one problem with that. Since my wife doesn't like rye bread, it's all up to me to finish the whole loaf before it gets stale. A few slices of toast are fine, but between that and the Ham and Swiss sandwiches, it barely makes a dent in the loaf. While it's not practical, I wish you could go to the store and buy just a few slices of bread...

I'm often amazed at the discussions I encounter online. Of course, numerous political topics exist, but that doesn't shock anyone. But sometimes, I wonder what matters to people. Am I giving society too much credit? The other day, I was scrolling through Facebook, and in my timeline was one of their suggested groups or topics I should follow. It was a strange discussion about the movie Teen Wolf, starring Michael J. Fox. There were thousands of comments on this suggested topic.

I've discussed this topic a few times through the years, scam emails. I'm often amazed that people are so gullible. But it sounds like I've been misguided. The problem is getting worse. And that's because of Artificial Intelligence. The scammers are getting smarter thanks to technology. Experts tell us we should be wary if an email stresses urgency. If you see the words act fast, think twice about responding. It's better to be safe than sorry. Will this problem get better? It doesn't sound like it.

By now, you've heard that flu activity across the U.S. is very high. But it's not just the flu. Many are suffering from RSV, COVID, or the norovirus.

We all know that drinking the proper amount of water keeps you hydrated and helps with weight loss. But for many people, me included, water is boring. Some experts say switching to sparkling water is just as good for you, and the carbonation can help make you feel full. New research says that sparkling water can also help boost your metabolism. Of course, the researchers are quick to point out that making the switch is no replacement for proper diet and exercise. However, early findings show that the bubbles might work better than flat water. Making you feel full that's a good thing...

In recent years, we've heard more talk about mental health and body image. Anorexia and bulimia are two of the most researched and discussed body issues. While they typically target women, specifically young women, the problems can be found in men, too. For researchers, finding ways to reverse these trends is a significant challenge. And while they're working hard, researchers have found a new form of body dysmorphia that seems to be growing rapidly. It's called bigorexia and is seen typically in young men.

This time of year, if you're like most people, you try hard to avoid catching a cold or the flu. You're doing whatever you can to boost your immunity. So many people I know caught something over the holidays. Knock on wood, I've been able to avoid catching anything so far. A few years ago, I read that elderberry supplements can help you stay healthy. My wife and I have been taking it every day since. I don't know if it helps us or if it's just a placebo.

You often hear people say that it's the little things that bring us joy. One of those things is the ability to pay at the pump when I go to fill up my car at the gas station. I started driving before you were allowed to pump our own gas. It was a significant change when full-service went away and no-service debuted. While the technology appeared in the mid-70s, most of us couldn't swipe our credit cards at the pump until the late '80s or early '90s. And when the entire process works, it's fantastic.

All eyes are on Washington, D.C., this weekend. And while some of it has to do with the upcoming inauguration, most of the attention surrounds TikTok. The Chinese-owned social media app is on a figurative death row. Unless the owner, ByteDance, sells it to a US-based company, new legislation will require the app's removal from the various app stores within 48 hours. Many think the incoming administration will give the app a last-minute stay of execution. Many users are frantic. What will they do without the app?

For many years, researchers have claimed that birds and dinosaurs are related. But now, some biologists argue that birds have evolved from some species of flying dinosaurs. They are the only remnants to survive the extinction during the Cretaceous period 65 million years ago. These experts haven't been able to determine how they did it. Some feel that birds adapt well, and that's how they can survive. And they continue to adapt today. We may never know if this theory is correct, but it makes lots of sense on the surface...

This may sound like an odd question, but are we losing history? I read a story recently that upset me. It said that 20% of people recently surveyed had no knowledge of the Holocaust. This statistic touches on a subject I think about often. When we teach history in school, how do we determine how much time is spent on a topic? Every year is another year added to history. Many things I learned in school are likely glossed over, or less time is spent on them today. When I was in school, Watergate was a current event.

One of our most significant concerns is inflation. Many people feel the price of filling their shopping cart keeps going up. And while it may seem that the price of everything is climbing, that may not be true. National Public Radio has been tracking the price of everyday food items for the last six years at a Walmart in Georgia. What they're finding is fascinating. While some prices have increased, many items have remained the same. And shockingly, the price of some items has gone down.

Every day, as I scroll through my news feed, I'm reminded about how the world of newsgathering has changed. Having a lengthy background in the media and starting my career in news and sports, I see that. But I'm often reminded that there's a difference between perception and reality. For years, we've been hearing that Nashville has a stolen gun problem. Every year, more guns are stolen from vehicles. That's the reality until last year.

When you're young, you live for a snow day. That means no school and a chance to go out and play in the white stuff. You could go sledding, build a snowman, and even have snowball fights. But as an adult, there are no snow days. And now that we can work from home, there's little chance of playing hooky. But, since it's the weekend, why not enjoy the weather? For me, staying in, staying warm, and doing nothing is the perfect way to spend that day. We didn't do anything productive. We binge-watched TV, enjoyed snacks, and had a quick and easy dinner.

If you live in an area where it snows regularly in the winter months, you know the key is preparation. Most families have a shovel or two, and these days, many have a snow blower. Plus, it's also essential to keep some ice melt handy. There are several varieties of sidewalk salt, but even though we often deal with icy sidewalks here in Middle Tennessee, it's usually hard to find. We make sure to pick up a bag when we visit family in Indiana. But there's one big problem. Since we don't get severe weather very often, the salt can last for long periods.

Today is Quitters Day. It's one of those silly holidays that no government recognizes. It falls annually on the second Friday of January. The day ties into our New Year's resolutions. Research says that most people give up on their resolutions within the year's first two weeks. In fact, the research shows that two-thirds of us have already given up on them.

Sometimes, you get a sixth sense that trouble is brewing. And when I mean trouble, I'm talking severe weather. Last week, the TV weather people tried to get everyone in a panic. But for most of Middle Tennessee, it was all for nothing. But this week, you can feel something is different. There's no panic, yet everyone is preparing. At first, the weather experts predicted 2-4 inches. Then they raised it to 3-6 inches. And the latest numbers claim we might see 5-7 inches of snow on Friday.

Today, we celebrate the King of Rock n' Roll, Elvis Presley. He was born 90 years ago today. The hard part to believe is that he didn't even make it halfway. The King died in 1977 at the age of 42. I'm not the biggest fan of his music, but I've been to Graceland a few times and am fascinated with how he lived his life. He's been gone since 1977 but still significantly influences many.

When you've been immersed in audio, video, and technology for as long as I have, you wind up with stacks of obsolete equipment. You also end up with boxes filled with cords, cables, dongles, and adapters. You don't even need to be a tech geek to end up with all these things. Anyone who's owned a few iPhones knows the struggle. Every few years, they change the connectors on their cords and cables, making everything you previously used obsolete. Many just throw away their old accessories. But if you're like me, you hold onto everything, just in case...

Over the weekend, we had threats of winter weather. With the potential of freezing rain, my wife and I put our wipers up. It's a trick I learned years ago. Pulling them off the windshield meant we didn't have to worry about the wipers sticking to it. Fortunately, there was no ice storm, so it was business as usual. Scraping your windshield is a hassle, especially if you're running late in the morning. But it's always better to be safe than sorry. However, some experts say pulling your blades off the windshield can cause other issues. This new data definitely gives me something to ponder...

Now that I have so many streaming services, I watch a ton of movies. Many were never released in theaters. Some went straight to DVD, and the more recent movies were made just for the streaming services. I don't even mind waiting for films to finish their run at the theater. Occasionally, I find a movie on cable or one of the streamers that was popular in the theater, but I wasn't familiar with it. I stumbled upon one of those a few days ago. It was Be Cool, starring John Travolta and Uma Thurman. I vaguely remember when it was released nearly 20 years ago, and wonder how I missed it...

My wife and I were out shopping at Walmart the other night, and as we were getting ready to check out, I grabbed a candy bar. I still enjoy one every now and then, but I try not to have too many. But as I grabbed my Milky Way, my mind wandered to my younger days. Like many people, we had a little neighborhood candy store just a few blocks from my house. I don't remember much about the store, it's only a distant memory. But I realized that candy stores don't exist anymore. The convenience store has taken its place. And since they sell gas, food, beer, and candy, they're much more popular...

We wrapped up our winter break yesterday and got back to the office. And without fail, I already have three co-workers who are out with the flu. They caught it during the holidays. It happens to many of us. It's almost impossible to avoid cold and flu season this time of year. We must wash our hands frequently and keep the house clean. And that means you must also stay on top of the dirty laundry. Studies show that germs and viruses can get trapped in the fibers of our clothing and linger for sometimes up to 90 days.

I went to bed last night and did something I hadn't had to do in 10 days. I set my alarm. I love my job, but hate the sound of my alarm every morning. When I worked in radio, I worked many different shifts, and my wakeup time was rarely the same. Now that I work a normal 9 to 5 type job, day in and day out, the buzzer goes off every morning at 6:10. I've never been a morning person. And while I don't consider myself a night owl, I find I'm most creative after the sun sets. I know that many people feel just like I do.

The new year is here. And these days, it isn't enough to wish people a happy new year. Most people want to wish you a happy and healthy new year. They might even hope that it's a prosperous one, too. Most people say these things because they feel obligated. For many, these are just words. For a long time, I fell into that category. But times have changed, and I have, too. Because these days, the things that really matter are health and happiness. It's taken me a long time to come to this conclusion. As we get older, our desires are much simpler.

They say the holidays bring out the worst in people. I don't know if that's true, but there is one thing that I know. Many people are oblivious this time of year. I don't know if people show that trait as the year ends or if we just see an overwhelming amount of people during the holidays that we don't see the rest of the year. It's likely a combination of both. People drive like there's no one on the road around them. You can say the same for those you encounter in stores, restaurants, and almost everywhere. Perhaps it's always been that way, and I'm just starting to notice. Or maybe it's getting worse...

Jimmy Carter passed away yesterday at the age of 100. Your age likely dictates how you view our 39th President. His years in the White House coincide with my years in High School. And he was running for reelection the year I could vote for the first time. For many, he is better known for what he's done since he left office. While many know that he was President, they're likely more familiar with his work supporting Habitat for Humanity. Today's history books view him differently than they did after he lost to Ronald Reagan. And I'm betting we will continue to have a different view of his legacy moving forward...

If you have teenagers at home, they're likely playing video games. And you can often say the same things about younger and older kids, too. Video games are everywhere. And even though I'm not a huge fan, I sometimes enjoy watching my nephews play games against one another. The other night, there was an NFL game on TV, but the youngsters were too busy playing Madden 25 rather than watching an actual game. I know this is generational, but I'm still shocked that kids would rather focus on the video game version than watch the real deal on TV. There goes the old man complaining again...

I've long been fascinated with neon signs. The glow of their lights is one of my earliest childhood memories. One of my hobbies is to take photos of them whenever I get the chance. Anytime I travel, I'm always on the lookout for a sign I've never seen. Nashville's tourist area, Lower Broadway, is filled with neon. Nearly every restaurant or bar that opens puts up a neon sign. They pop up almost every day. Our lights aren't as bright as Las Vegas, but we're getting there. Sadly, so many older examples are long gone. In many places, they fell out of favor years ago...

I don't know if you experience this, but it throws my whole week off kilter whenever Christmas falls on a Wednesday. It's not a bad thing. But since my routine is thrown off, I'm not sure what day it is. I know it's Friday, but it sure doesn't feel like one. I'm not complaining; it just makes me feel out of sorts. The days all blur together. I'm off until after January 1st. So, it'll be tough to get back into my standard groove by the time I return to work. I know; what a rough life. I need the break.

Today is my wife's birthday. As we often do, we're celebrating with family. It's a combined Christmas and birthday celebration. When my wife was younger, she frequently got together with family to enjoy Christmas and her birthday combined. That's one of the significant downfalls of having a birthday that falls so close to Christmas. The upside for me, I never have to worry about planning a big trip or some fancy party. There's nothing that my wife would prefer to do than spend time with our nieces and nephews. And with a wide spread in their ages, we'll be partying with them every year for many years to come...

Yesterday, I talked about my longtime love for NORAD's Santa Tracker. Another one of my favorite holiday memories is playing Santa. Looking at me, you might think this was a recent event. While I've spent most of my adult life built like the jolly fat man, I actually wore the red suit over 40 years ago when I was in college. I played Santa as part of a charity fundraiser for my then-girlfriend's sorority. How could I say no to that? I'd forgotten all about it until the other day when someone told me I should play Kris Kringle at the office...

Today is likely the busiest day of the year for the North American Aerospace Defense Command. You know them best as NORAD; they're the organization that has been providing the Santa Tracker every year since the mid-1950s. There's a lot of folklore about how the Santa Tracker started, but if it weren't for the Cold War, we wouldn't have this Christmas Eve tradition. It's one of my favorite parts of the holiday season.

With the end of the year almost upon us, many businesses look at their books and ponder if they can survive another year. No company wants to call it quits, but sometimes, the reality stares you in the face. In the last few weeks, both Big Lots and Party City announced they were shutting down for good. Between them, they have over 1500 locations. That's a lot of physical space that will soon be empty and hard to fill.

We tend to watch a lot of reruns on TV, so we often watch TBS. Recently, they started promoting the new season of their game show, Wipeout. I know it's been on and off the television for over a decade, but I still don't get the appeal. I don't begrudge anyone who watches and enjoys this type of silliness; I just don't get it. I realize there are different strokes for different folks, but it's just cruel to me. Are we watching because we like to see the contestants fail spectacularly? Or are we watching because we enjoy the commentators? The show must have fans because it's been on for a long time...

It may be the weekend before Christmas, but we've decided to stay put. Our Christmas shopping is done, but we have a few items we could pick up at the store. But the crowds are so crazy right now. Our malls are in high-traffic areas, and when holiday shoppers panic, the roads come to a standstill. We live near one of the malls, and that means traffic is heavily congested all day and into the night. I've never been the biggest fan of crowds, but I used to be able to deal with them.

In many communities, body cameras are a controversial subject. Citizens are demanding police accountability, which makes many law enforcement departments uncomfortable. But what if employees at your favorite retailer started wearing cameras, too? Organized shoplifting is becoming a major problem for many stores.

I often say that advances in technology are great until they fail. Sometimes it's the simple things. Years ago, you'd order something by mail and wait. The package would show up in days, weeks, or sometimes months. But now, we can track our packages online. The system is great, sometimes. Often, it just leaves me scratching my head.

With hundreds of cable channels and dozens of streaming services, every content provider seeks a way to break through. It was much easier for shows to be successful back when there were only three or four television networks. With all of the 'noise,' it's difficult to get noticed. While reboots aren't new, they're one of the best ways to build anticipation and get noticed.

A couple of nights ago, we stopped at the mall. I was looking for a shirt, so we stopped at one of the department stores. I used to love going to the mall to shop and hang out. Much of my formative years was spent working at a jeans store. We had a lot of good times, but sadly, the mall's nothing like it was back in the day. Now, the shops all seem the same. That got me thinking back to some of the stores that are long gone. Stores like Camelot Music, Orange Julius, and Hickory Farms are long gone. And while I wouldn't spend time in them today, they do take me back to a special place...

In recent weeks, there have been numerous stories about burglars stealing from some of the top NFL players while they're playing. Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and now Joe Burrow all had their homes robbed while they were 'at work'. Like musicians, actors, and other celebrities, they're easy targets.

Every so often, I have to remind myself that most of my problems are first-world problems. Even though I sometimes complain, I have a great life. But I do have an Achilles heel. Like so many people, I'm addicted to the internet. I'm not one of those people who is always on their phone, but when I need to do something online, I want it to work. And when it doesn't, it will ruin my night. Lately, we've had recurring problems with our internet service. The last time a technician was here, he told us the issue was at the pole.

How many different dictionaries are there? I'm betting there are over a dozen. I know of Cambridge, Oxford, Collins, and Miriam Webster. How many do we need? Don't they all have the same words? Over the last few weeks, I've discussed some of the year's words from these companies. Oxford gives us brain rot. Cambridge thinks the word is manifest. Collins claims that brat is the word that sums up the year. But I believe we've finally heard the definitive take from Miriam Webster. Their selection for word of the year is polarization.

I remember back in the 1970s when one of my friends got a portable camera to make home movies. Having a father who worked in television, I was familiar with the professional versions but never imagined having one at home. In the 80s and 90s, camcorders were everywhere. Now, almost everyone has video cameras in their pockets that also make phone calls and send text messages. You can't hide from these cameras; they're everywhere. Most of us now have one attached to our doorbell, and we can record the comings and goings in our neighborhoods. There is no escape...

It's been a little over a month since our presidential election. And I think our societal divide is getting worse. There is no middle ground anymore. And it's not just America that is experiencing this divide. Many countries across our world are facing the same dilemma. But one thing tells me it could get worse before it gets better.

Across America, Big Boy restaurants are long known for their double-decker burgers and statues of their chubby mascot outside the front door. The restaurant is a franchise, so many areas of the country have different parent companies. It all started with Bob's in California. For many years, the Pennsylvania locations were named Eat and Park. In Ohio, people know them as Frisch's. And for many years, Shoney's was a part of the chain. In many places, the longtime favorite has all but disappeared. And they could be going away soon in the areas where they remain. They look to be another iconic brand fading away...

In the 80s and 90s, if you wanted to eat at a nice Mexican restaurant, you would probably go to Chi-Chi's. Technically, it was Tex-Mex. But for many, it was the first place where people tried fajitas, chimichangas, and fried ice cream. But by the 00s, it was struggling financially and finally faded away after a breakout of Hepatitis A caused by a bad batch of green onions. Many have fond memories of the once-popular chain.

Now that it's December, we're seeing the Winter weather moving in. In some parts of the U.S., heavy snow, and in places like Middle Tennessee, it's getting colder. We've had a couple of what I call southern snowfalls. That's where you get a light dusting of snow, but it only sticks to the grass. It doesn't last long, but it can still get a bit slippery. I don't miss real snow, and neither does my body. As I get older, my body doesn't deal with the cold. My knees and hips are always sore, and I'm always cold.

Have you been to the mall lately? It used to be a magical place this time of year. But it's not the same. Christmas shopping used to be unique, but not anymore. It's always been crazy. The crowds, the noise, the people have always made it special. I worked in retail when I was younger, and Christmas was exhausting. But almost everything has changed. The stores are still crowded but in different ways. Undoubtedly, online shopping has changed everything, but that can't be the only reason. But now the malls are dying. Many have come and gone.

I've never been a person who likes getting their hands dirty when they eat. Sure, I can handle burgers and pizza, but ribs and wings aren't something I prefer. At age 12, my nephew Will is a connoisseur of wings. He has no problem rolling up his sleeves and getting into that sauce. For him, not only is the flavor important, but the quality of the chicken is even more important. That's impressive. Plus, it's both humorous and scary at the same time. And while I prefer boneless wings, he's into the real deal. All those years of eating chicken nuggets have made him an expert...

If my memory serves me correctly, the internet, as we know it, is just over 30 years old. While technically it dates back to 1983, the browser-based World Wide Web debuted in 1993. That means I've spent nearly half my life on the web. While many of us have a love-hate relationship living online, it's changed my life for the better. But I am aware of how it's changed our habits.

I've been following sports for a long time. Some of my earliest memories are going to games with my father when he did radio play-by-play. I followed in his footsteps for a short time in my radio career. And while I haven't stayed obsessed with sports throughout my life, I still keep up with most major sports. The other night, we were watching the Georgia v. Georgia Tech game that set the record for overtime in college football.

Whenever I head back to Indiana to see my nieces and nephews, I hear stories of how they're doing in school. Two of my nephews are currently in high school. One is a Senior, the other a Junior.

I realize that I can sometimes sound like a grumpy old man. That's the life of a Baby Boomer. I never complain about big things, only the silly things that aren't really an issue; you know, first-world problems. I'm a big fan of the quarter-zip sweater. I have dozens of them. They're warm, durable, and always seem to stay in style. But recently, I've noticed many stores selling half-zip shirts and sweaters, but they're really quarter-zips.

It may be Black Friday, but don't worry; I haven't taken up running. When people started jogging in the 1970s, I tried it for a moment, a very brief moment. I have always hated running. I never liked it when I was young and in good shape. Running was something we had to do if we lost a basketball game, it was never a positive. But today we celebrate 5K, as in 5,000 episodes of The Mason Minute. I haven't missed a day in over 13 years. That even shocks me!

Happy Thanksgiving! For many, it's been a challenging year, but there is so much to be thankful for today and every day. Many people have traditions that are associated with Thanksgiving. For some, it could be gathering with family; for others, watching football on the tube; and for most, eating. And may do a lot of eating. And while I love to eat, I don't often gorge myself on turkey, dressing, potatoes, cranberry sauce, dinner rolls, and dessert. One of my strange traditions is always to have a slice or two or ten of the jellied cranberry sauce. I've been doing this for decades. But I have a confession...

The motion picture Wicked has already grossed $175 million worldwide in just one week. My wife will see it with some of our nieces and nephews on Friday.

Nashville is still one of the fastest-growing cities in the U.S., And that means we continue to deal with the growing pains that many cities face. Increased crime is one of the bigger issues. Stolen cars and guns are a continuing problem. Lately, the criminals are getting much more brazen. Smash-and-grab robberies are on the rise. And recently, an ATM was stolen from a 7-11 store.

You should take note if you're thinking about using cash when you're out shopping this holiday season. Some stores will be looking at your dollar bills closely. Stores like Walmart and Target will no longer accept torn, mutilated, or discolored cash. Retailers are extra cautious since the one-dollar bill still needs to be updated with the new security features. Many are opting not to accept any currency that is damaged. And while that may be frustrating, you may find that replacing your money is challenging. The government tells us that this is for our safety...

For many people, visiting their favorite Mexican restaurant often means margaritas, tacos, chimichangas, and fajitas. And while many people know that I love tacos, I also splurge every now and then and order fajitas. But one thing has always bothered me when I order them. While often served on a sizzling skillet filled with meat, pepper, and onions, they always come with just three tortillas. This has been an issue for decades. And when you ask for extra tortillas, the server often wonders why you need more. If this happened at just one or two restaurants, I'd understand...

If you've watched any TV lately, there's no doubt that the holidays are almost here. The never-ending number of commercials is just one of the obvious clues. I can tell by the number of teases for the latest holiday baking shows on the Food Network. I must admit, while I do love this time of year, my waistline doesn't.

I did my best to keep up with pop culture and the latest trends for decades. When I worked in radio, knowing everything my listeners were interested in was essential. But in recent years, that hasn't been a huge priority. And I realize as I get older, keeping up with the latest trends doesn't matter. The other day, the Cambridge Dictionary announced their word of the year; manifest. When I heard the word, my first thought was manifest destiny and America's westward expansion. But that's not why it was the word of the year. Once again, pop culture comes into play...

When you talk of Doomsday to those of a certain age, the thought of nuclear war comes to mind. But the concept actually dates back thousands of years. In recent months, a fish associated with Doomsday in Japanese folklore has been showing up on a few California beaches. There have been reports of three oarfish washing up on shore this year. While that may not seem strange, until this year, there have only been 19 similar instances in over 100 previous years. The oarfish live in deep waters and are rarely spotted anywhere. And if you believe Japanese folklore, this is a bad sign...

If someone offers you a cup of cocoa, you can assume a few things. It's likely cold outside, and perhaps they don't like coffee. But you might want to consider having a cup more often. Scientists are finding that having a cup when stressed can benefit your health. When people are stressed, they usually reach for fatty foods. And even if you do that, having a cup of cocoa can reduce the effects of those tempting treats. It all concerns flavanols, a compound in apples, green tea, and even cocoa.

For years, doctors have been telling us the worst thing we can do for our health is sit behind a desk all day. The lack of movement is bad for us in so many ways. Some think a standing desk is a solution to this lack of movement. But recent research says that it doesn't matter if we're standing or sitting. The lack of movement either way is bad for us. While standing is better than sitting, the overall benefits are negligible. At this point, the research is just preliminary. But the movement is what matters. Experts say we need to figure out more ways to move during our work day...

Law enforcement in Tennessee tells us we have a problem with aggressive driving. And while I think that's an issue everywhere in the US, there's something even more dangerous. Passive-aggressive drivers are an even bigger problem. Aggressive drivers just want to get past everyone. All you have to do is get out of their way, and they're no longer a hassle. But those who refuse to get out of the way or, even worse, speed up when you attempt to go around them are a greater risk. Courtesy on the highways is rare these days but possible...

Late at night, my mind wanders as I wind down from the day. I never know where it's going or what will trigger my next Google deep dive. The other night, I was in my home office working on some social media content and watching some raunchy teen comedy from a few years ago. And that's when my mind started to wander. Why do I prefer these movies to the ones that win Oscars? And what is the difference between movies and cinema? I'm the kind of gut that goes to the movies or used to go, but not the type of guy who goes to the cinema. Perhaps it's about status and class...

Through the years, people have adorned their lawns, gardens, and porches with many strange things. In the late 1800s, lawn jockeys were extremely popular. Garden gnomes have been popular numerous times in countries throughout the world. For some reason, for a brief time in the 1980s, many midwestern homes displayed a porch goose. What made this concrete goose so unusual is that people often dressed them up in honor of the holidays or even the season. While their popularity was brief, it looks like the porch goose is making a comeback. For how long, no one knows...

Depending on how you want to look at it, buying accessories for your smartphone is either a joy or a pain. I knew I needed to purchase new cables and chargers when I upgraded my iPhone. But I wasn't prepared for how difficult it would be to find what I wanted. When Apple switched from the lightning port to USB-C, it meant you couldn't use any of your old cables and chargers. Plus, the new iPhones also can be charged with a magnetic Magsafe cable. But there are so many choices. And I don't say this often, but perhaps there are too many choices.

The discovery of fire and the origin of the wheel are two of the most important things to happen in the history of the world. For many years, people thought the wheel dated back roughly 6,000 years. In 4000 BC, it was used to make pottery in Mesopotamia. Then, 500 years later, it was adapted for transportation during the Bronze Age. But now, scientists think their timeline needs to be corrected. They think they've found even earlier examples of the wheel dating back not 6,000 years but 12,000 years. I'm fascinated by the men and women who devote their lives to unraveling these mysteries.

More and more people are cutting the cord and switching exclusively to streaming services. But for many, choosing which service or services to use can be frustrating. No one service has everything in one place. Some of the most popular streamers are Netflix, Hulu, Peacock, and Paramount+, but they aren’t free. And while there are various free options, keeping up with them is tough. Amazon just announced they are shuttering their ad-supported option, Freevee. And many wonder how much longer some of the other free sites like Tubi and Pluto will last…

No, I’m not trying to sell you anything. You may want to look at the title of today’s podcast again. Recently, I’ve noticed people taking pictures of items and placing them beside a banana. These images are all over social media, and they claim that they’re doing this for scale. They want to show you the item’s size in the picture and to give you a reference point; they’re including a banana in the picture. I honestly don’t know if they’re serious or if this is just some new internet joke. I see it so often I get the sense that it’s become a meme. But there’s only one problem…

Everyone knows that the NFL is the biggest sport in America and perhaps the world. They took their championship game and branded it as the Super Bowl; the rest is history. And in recent years, they’ve added new acronyms to our vocabulary. Perhaps you’ve seen them: SNF, MNF, TNF. They’re all used in shining the spotlight on their games when played on Sunday night, Monday night, and Tuesday night. I don’t know what they would or will do when they start featuring more games on Tuesday and Saturday. Our culture tends to shorten everything to make it easier to share…

Over the last few years, many chain restaurants have struggled. Changing consumer tastes and bad management often play a part. While some chains have closed locations, others have filed for bankruptcy protection. TGI Fridays recently joined the list of companies that filed for bankruptcy. They claim that the company has never recovered from COVID-19 losses. While they attempt to recover, there’s one thing they can’t control: people are sitting on nearly $50 million in unused gift cards that have no expiration date. If people decide to use them now, they have no chance to recover…

Fried chicken has been around for hundreds of years. In the 1950s, Harlan Sanders focused on his eleven herbs and spices to create the first fast-food chicken restaurant. But McDonald’s in the early 1980s popularized chicken nuggets with the debut of McNuggets. Since then, it has become the go-to meal for kids. Now, you can find variations in nuggets, fingers, strips, and planks. But the key to their popularity isn’t the chicken or the fried batter; it’s the sauce. It seems that every place that sells chicken has their own sauce. And for many people, dipping is the best part…

My nephew, Ty, got his driver’s license the other day. Or should I say, finally got it? He turned 16 last January and wasn’t in any hurry to get it done. He wrapped up driver training and the coursework a while ago but held off on taking the final tests. Many young people today hold off on getting their licenses. And some never get one at all. That makes no sense to me. I know baby boomers like me have different priorities, but has our world changed that much? Owning a car is one thing, but not knowing how to drive is something I’ll never understand…

Yesterday was one of those days here in Nashville. It’s not something that happens often, but when it does, you feel it. Yesterday was dark and dreary all day. Time change definitely plays a factor. And, of course, the weather plays into it too. We had a few scattered showers, but it never turned into a rainy day. It was almost like there was a dark cloud hanging over the city. Technically, there were a bunch of dark clouds, but the sun never peaked through, and the clouds never broke. It felt very similar to fall and winter in Northeast Ohio, where the sun rarely shines…

Doctors will tell you that proper rest is the key to good health and a long life. We’ve always been told we should try to sleep eight hours nightly. But many of us know that getting the proper rest is nearly impossible. Doctors and researchers say that our realistic goal should be somewhere between six to nine hours. They also say that while too little sleep can shorten your life, getting too much over 9 hours a night can also be harmful. Catching up on sleep is a myth. While getting the proper amount of rest is a challenge for many, experts suggest we do a better job of getting adequate rest…

So much of the talk leading up to the election is about the Presidential race. And while that’s a big deal, it’s not the real story this year. Control of the Senate and House of Representatives are likely more important. Very little has been accomplished in Washington over the last 10+ years because of Congress. They’re constantly pitting one party against the other. When people complain about nothing getting done, they only have themselves to blame. It may take days to learn who will serve as our next President, but by tomorrow, we’ll have a good idea of whether anything will get done in DC…

For decades, you know that the holidays are upon us when Rudolph And Frosty hit the small screen on CBS. But after 50+ years, they’re making a move to NBC. In recent years, when most TV programs leave one of the major networks, they usually move to one of the streaming services. But that’s not the case here. In fact, NBC didn’t even guarantee that Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer would also air on their streaming service, Peacock. To some, moving from one network to another is no big deal. But around the holidays, traditions are a bit more special…

It's taken me a long time, but I've come to appreciate alone time, when things are quiet. It took forever, but I now understand the desire for solitude. I don;t know if this is just my world, or if it's everyone's situation, but there are times when I just want to sit around and do nothing. But in recent years, I have found that I have less time for myself. I used to hate when there was nothing to do. But now I relish the infrequent moments to steal away and simply relax.

You hear people talk about how much simpler life was in the good old days. In many ways, that's true. It's easy to get nostalgic as we age. Recently, I was thinking back to my good old days. And I often wonder why some things we remember fondly seem to disappear. Perhaps they haven't, and we just don't see them in the world we live in today. For some reason, I was thinking about bake sales from days gone by. Do they still exist? Perhaps in small towns, but I haven't seen one in years. At one time in my life, they were common, but they seemed to vanish through the years...

But this is something different. People are afraid to change lanes, have a hard time making turns, and drive at a consistent speed. This issue is something new. It hasn't always been this way.

When I was younger, Halloween was a celebration that lasted a few hours. If lucky, we might have a party at school and then a few hours of trick-or-treating. Over the years, many have added a weekend party or two. But now, Halloween has turned into an extended holiday. But is it really a holiday? Banks are open, the kids go to school, and we get mail, too. Recently, I've noticed that what was a day has become more than a week of celebrating.

A recent study finds that humans aren't meant to be awake after Midnight. Our bodies function better with a schedule that includes daylight. Anyone who works the third shift should understand. As humans have evolved, our bodies and minds function better during daylight hours. After Midnight, our emotions get darker, and there's not much we can do to change this.

I come from a family of collectors. I've had interest in numerous things throughout my life. My mother has been collecting elephant statues and figurines for decades, and they've even featured her collection in a couple of newspaper articles. So, I always try to stay up-to-date on the latest collectibles. I recently learned about something people have collected for less than 25 years. And it's something I never heard anybody talk about until recently. This hot new collectible is called a House Hippo.

I usually try to handle things I don't like head-on. But I put off a couple of things as long as I can. One of those is buying a new cellphone. Some friends update theirs every time a new model comes out. But I only upgrade my phone whenever I'm forced to. The money isn't the issue; it's the time lost in getting my new phone set up correctly. It will take me weeks to get the new one up to speed. Plus, I need to make sure I upgrade all my accessories.

Like the old saying, you learn something new every day. There's a term for people who try to board an airplane before their boarding group. They're called gate lice. Who knew? Since airlines started charging for extra baggage, people are looking for ways to carry on as much as possible. And the key to getting the best overhead bin storage is to board a plane as early as possible. So naturally, airline workers created a term for those who try to get an advantage in boarding, hence the term gate lice. When I saw the term online, I thought it was a newly discovered bug.

If you've ever tried to cancel a streaming service or cable company subscription, you know how frustrating it can be. The Federal Trade Commission has heard your complaints and wants to help. They're working on new click-to-cancel legislation that will make ending a subscription you no longer want much more straightforward. The FTC feels you should be able to cancel any kind of subscription with just one phone call or a simple click. But there is one problem.

I'm sure you've seen the announcements for the new Kathy Bates series on CBS. It's called Matlock, just like the show starring Andy Griffith in the 80s and 90s. When I first saw the promos for the show, I wondered how they would reference the original show. Would she be his daughter or some other relative? Or perhaps it will be an updated version where the home-spun lawyer is a woman rather than a man. I expected to watch the first episode and be done with it, but 10 minutes into the first episode, I was hooked. And I'm not the only one.

This year's World Series is finally set. The Yankees and Dodgers will face off in a best-of-seven series. It's another matchup pitting two of baseball's most successful franchises. They've both been there tons of times, or have they? I'm a lifelong Cubs fan, so I'm programmed to dislike both teams. And since they're always in the series, they're easy to hate. But even though I thought they were always playing each other, that's not the case. They've only played each other 11 times, going back to the 1940s.

Long before Walmart was the biggest of the big box stores, Kmart was the king. But even if your fond memories include waiting for another blue light special, it started disappearing from most towns nearly a decade ago. The last Kmart in the Nashville area closed its doors six years ago. And this week, news broke that the final Kmart store in the US is closing. The chain's demise was a longtime coming. And I'm sure business students will study the story of its failure for years to come. The mistakes they made are epic.

Some of my earliest memories are from taking road trips with my father along two-lane roads in Wyoming, Colorado, South Dakota, and Nebraska. I joined him as he drove from town to town, covering high school football and basketball games. I love taking road trips. And once I turned 16, I loved getting behind the wheel for hours. Through the years, eight- and ten-hour drives have been no big deal. But over the last couple of years, that's changed. Now, my body only lets me ride in a car for about six hours before it starts causing problems.

I grew up in a world where we didn't have a remote control to change our TV channels. Can you imagine that today? I was the human remote. If I were playing in another room, I'd often hear my father yell my name. When I came in to see what he wanted, he asked me to go to the television and change the channel for him. I bought my parents their first TV set with a remote control soon after graduating college. With me not living at home, my dad needed some way to change the channel without me being there.

As a child, my parents never went down the candy aisle at the grocery store. They didn't want to tempt me. But like nearly every kid, I loved candy. Today, I still try to avoid the candy aisles at the grocery store or big box store. Even though it's been decades since I went door-to-door begging for treats, I still remember the joy of those full-size chocolatey treats.

Growing up, it felt like a drugstore was on every corner. There were the big chains and the small mom-and-pop pharmacies. I realize it only seemed to be that many. But in the 80s and 90s, a new store was under construction every time you turned around. I even lived in a few towns with examples of four competing chains on the four corners of a major intersection. Thanks to online selling and big box stores like Walmart, the days of the stand-alone drug store are screeching to a halt.

My wife and I went out for dinner the other night, and everything seemed off. The service was slow, the food wasn't up to its usual standards, and the limited staff wasn't good. I've noticed this a lot recently. What happened? Many want to blame the COVID-19 pandemic. And while that could be part of it, there has to be something more.

As warm as it's been this month, it isn't easy to think about Winter weather. It may not happen soon, but it will get colder. The National Weather Service is already making plans for when the weather turns. We think about three things during Winter: ice, snow, and severe cold. And they've made a significant change in how they classify weather. In the past, they'd always talk about a wind chill warning or watch.

And while some 'rules' change throughout our lifetime, it's sometimes difficult to adapt. For example, when did we decide to use a single space at the end of a typed sentence rather than a double space?

For decades, products have had expiration dates. However, many companies are vague about the shelf life of their products. Rather than use words like expires by, they use best before or sell by. However, consumers can interpret these words in different ways. California has passed a law that goes into effect in 2026 to change this wording. Many expect other states will quickly adopt these changes, too. It could even become a federal law. Soon, in California, products will use the terms best if used by or simply use by.

For years, people have been saying that free content on the internet is going away. It's always referenced as sometime in the next five years; content will be going behind a paywall. Many newspapers and magazines have already made the move. Since you have to pay for subscriptions to the physical product, it was a minor change for some.

The other day, I discussed Amazon's return-to-work mandate, which will take effect in January. Their decision could help other CEOs do the same. A new study says that nearly 80% of major corporation CEO's think that all companies will do away with the hybrid work model. Many claim that people working from home has hurt their office culture. In reality, it's easier to keep a handle on people when they're in the office every day. But many workers will fight back. They feel the work is still getting done, and a work-from-home or hybrid model helps the work-life balance...

I had to take my car in for a repair yesterday. I wasn't sure what was causing the problem. When I turned my defroster on high, it sounded like a jet airplane taking off. I expected it to be the blower motor or perhaps the housing around it. I'm unsure how all that works under my hood, but I was prepared for the worst. I was stunned when I discovered the real problem: a dead mouse in my blower motor. I know that mice will get into vehicles to avoid the cold, but they're usually found in cars parked for a long time.

There are some things we do that we give thought to them. These are simple things that you've done thousands upon thousands of times. But then, one day, something changed. I get gas at least once a week. I've done that nearly every week, sometimes more, sometimes less, for over 45 years. Usually, it's the same routine: Pull up to the pump, put your credit card in, pump your gas. But the other day, something happened to me at the gas pump for the first time. The price I paid jumped 30 cents between the time I put my credit card in and when the pump started flowing...

It's been decades since I took driver's ed, but I still know the rules of the road. Through the years I've held a driver's license in seven states, and most of the rules are the same in most. But late last week, I wondered if others remembered the rules. We left for Indiana on Friday to catch my nephew's football game. The vast storm associated with Hurricane Helene was already hitting part of Tennessee and Kentucky with rain and fog. So, per the rules of the road, I turned my headlights on. Sadly, I was one of the few who did. And that confuses me...

Our local meteorologists tell us this momentary fall-like weather won't last long. We can thank Hurricane Helene for this brief blast of cool weather. Of course, a fantastic amount of rain came with it, but at least we got a glimpse that fall is technically here. Yesterday, I talked about one of my seasonal favorites, apple cider. And that got me thinking about one of my all-time favorite treats, apple butter. Sure, Halloween is just over a month away, and that gets most people thinking about another popular apple treat, the caramel apple, but for me, there's no equal to apple butter...

As Hurricane Helene tears through the southern states, it's starting to feel like Fall. The feeling may only last for a few days, but the nasty weather we're experiencing in Tennessee makes it feel like the season might finally change. Many people love it when the weather turns cold. For some, it triggers the desire to enjoy all things pumpkin. My mind turns toward all things apple. For example, Fall is the perfect time to enjoy apple cider. Can you even drink it during any other time of the year? It's one of those beverages that you either love or hate. But it could be harmful for some...

I find the facts of history that interest people fascinating, as well as the things that don’t. Our obsession with dinosaurs, the Pyramids, and Easter Island amazes me. Another historic place that people never get tired of hearing about is Stonehenge. Perhaps you have to see it in person to get the full effect. I’ve had friends who’ve traveled to England to see it in person, and everyone agrees it’s a sight to behold. However, a recent Stonehenge discovery has gotten many more people involved in trying to understand the mystery. Some of the stones aren’t historically from that area…

You get up in the morning, go to your closet, and you pull something out to wear. Most don’t think much about it. The only time you go shopping is when you have to. This may seem like the norm for many of us, but it’s not. Most people, including myself, have more clothing than they really need. The world as a whole has too many clothes. We have enough clothing right now for the next six generations. More clothes are being created, and they’re being bought more often and more cheaply. Sustainability experts think we need to reevaluate this cycle of fast fashion…

As Nashville continues to grow, we struggle with road congestion like many big cities. On our November ballot is an initiative to raise the sales tax to provide dedicated funding for sidewalks, traffic signals, and an improved bus network. People have been cutting through neighborhoods for the last few years to avoid tie-ups. The city has added numerous traffic-calming features to our city streets to try to stop this. It seems everywhere you turn, a driver is seeing speed bumps, humps, and tables. There is no perfect fix. But we have to do something, or gridlock is inevitable…

With the season turning to Fall, some doctors say it’s time to get your flu shots. And while you’re at it, you should also get the latest COVID-19 vaccine. For some, doctors also recommend getting the vaccine for RSV. Some people ignore the advice and avoid the vaccines. For me, I don’t want to risk it. But I’ve been advised to wait a few weeks. While some doctors say to get all your shots immediately, others suggest waiting until sometime in October. I’ve always wondered why the experts can’t agree on these details. If I get everything now, will I still be at peak coverage in January and February? No one knows…

Amazon made a big announcement recently. They told office workers that hybrid working and work-from-home initiatives are ending. Beginning in January, workers must be in the office five days a week. Experts say this is a big mistake. The pandemic changed our world forever. Everyone is revisiting their work-life balance. Many feel the box has been opened, and you can’t force everything and everybody back inside. Many think that Amazon is making a big mistake. It may work for them in the short term, but they will lose many of their best people in the long run…

I’m amazed at how many bad movies get made every year. I realize the word bad is subjective, but the number of films produced yearly is staggering. Now, I’m not talking about the big movies that make lots of money at the box office; these are the ones you only find on streaming services. Back in the day, they were the direct-to-video or DVD kind. Most of these get made with small budgets. But it’s not the money spent on actors you may know or even the budget for location shooting. The key to these movies is the writing, and often, that’s why they’re so terrible…

For years, you’ve been told to call before you dig. Anytime you have a project where you have to dig a hole on your property, you’re told to call 811 so the utility companies can mark the places you need to avoid. The last thing you want to do is hit a gas line or sever a phone line. Even though we have no plans to dig holes, our yard is filled with painted lines. Google Fiber is coming to our neighborhood. We have both the pole and junction box where many utilities split off to go to numerous houses. While some neighbors are excited, most are upset that Google wants to dig up their yard…

I got a flat tire as we were heading back to Nashville last weekend. Fortunately, I had run flat on my car, so we were able to get home safely. With all of the construction throughout Nashville, I’m surprised I don’t have tire issues more often. Flat tires are always a hassle, but at least tire technology has improved. The one thing that hasn’t improved is the ease of getting your tire fixed. Even when you buy the road hazard guarantee, you still have to take time out of your day to go to the tire dealer and wait. They get to you eventually, but it’s usually a lot of hours wasted…

Rumored for months, it finally happened this week. Legendary storage container company Tupperware filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. Famous for their at-home parties, Tupperware has struggled for years. As the world changed and everyone started shopping at big box stores, Tupperware held out, refusing to change. They reached their peak in the 1960s. However, women didn’t have time to host sales parties when they joined the workforce. Since they filed for Chapter 11, the aim is to reorganize, reduce debt, and create a plan to turn everything around. But many wonder if it’s too late…

Years ago, I contracted a staph infection in my eye. And the one thing I learned from my doctor was that they had to guess the type of infection to create the antibiotics to treat it. I got lucky, and they cured the infection and saved my eye. My doctor explained how these viruses happen and how tricky they are to cure. Researchers are concerned about the increasing occurrence of bacterial infections. They fear that these so-called superbugs will appear more frequently. Researchers think these infections will kill tens of millions of people in the next 25 years…

For decades, people have claimed that radiation from cell phones could cause brain cancer. Because the technology is constantly evolving and still relatively new, there was no definitive answer to determine whether we should be concerned. Over the last 30 years, researchers have conducted over 5,000 studies to come up with a definitive answer. The WHO has finally given us the good news: radiation from cell phones is not likely to increase a person’s risk of brain cancer. While the use of wireless technology continues to grow, there has been no corresponding increase in cancer…

Over the last few decades, you had numerous ways to view the programming if you wanted to watch something on TV. Cable and satellite television are often needed to watch more than just your basic local channels. But streaming services have changed everything. Right now, some are predicting satellite's demise, and perhaps cable. The companies that own the streaming platforms would love to eliminate the middleman and lock you into paying them directly. While many are ditching their current providers, will they go away?

Is it too early for stores to start putting out their Christmas decorations? My wife and I went to Walmart the other night, and they already had five or six aisles filled with holiday decorations. For some, it's never too early to start putting them together. Others think stores should at least wait until after Halloween. And then, of course, some feel you must wait until after Thanksgiving.

My wife and I have been together for roughly 30 years. And there's not much about her that I don't know. I learned early that her favorite ice cream was chocolate chip or the mint version. She gets one scoop of each whenever we go to the ice cream shop. But ice cream flavors often rise and fall in popularity. Basics like chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry are some of the most popular and have been around forever.

Recently I was up late, watching TV. I think I was watching one of the streaming apps, when a commercial came on from a company that is cloning pets. For a minute, I thought it was some SNL skit, but it was an actual commercial. With prices starting at $1600, they can clone one of your beloved pets. I remember the first time I heard about using DNA to clone animals. It was the mid-1990s, and some Scottish scientists were working on creating the perfect clone for a sheep.

But this week, my news feed has been filled with stories about young students making threats, online or in person, at schools across America. Experts think these situations are being triggered by last week's school shooting near Atlanta. Many say it's a cry for help. But what are we doing to help these young people?

Even though it's been 23 years, many of us still struggle with what happened that day. While we shouldn't be shocked that our enemies tried to attack us, it's all that has happened since then that bothers so many.

Car culture is a unique experience. We all have different ways of identifying with people who share our passions. I'm not sure how cows and ducks came to be a part of creating a community, but they have. Last year, I talked about Jeep Ducking, where Jeep owners leave rubber ducks for others who share their passion. And while it's been going on for a couple of years, Subaru owners are doing something similar. If you want to call it that, the game is called Moo Moo Subaru.

Every time we get behind the wheel, there's a possibility that something terrible will happen. We could encounter a drunk driver, someone who's on the phone, or text messaging. We're always in danger whenever we get in the car to go somewhere. But now, many worry about a hidden danger. Over the weekend, someone shot at cars on I-75 in southern Kentucky.

It's been a sweltering summer. But you can finally see that the season is changing. It's not because the temperatures are dropping or the leaves are changing color. You can see that Fall is here because the football season is in full swing. The college games started last week, and the NFL is back this weekend.

Our world has been obsessed with celebrities for as long as I can remember. Long before the internet, finding out about the lives of the rich and famous was a challenge. A quick Google search can give you all the information you desire today. But it doesn't stop there. When it comes to award shows, people seem more fascinated by what's happening on the red carpet than they do with who wins the awards. I can't imagine the money the photographers make to take all those pre-show pictures. The bigger the star, the greater the need to know every little detail...Click Here To SubscribeApple PodcastsSpotifyAmazon MusicGoogle PodcastsTuneIniHeartRadioPandoraDeezerBlubrryBullhornCastBoxCastrofyyd.deGaanaiVooxListen NotesmyTuner RadioOvercastOwlTailPlayer.fmPocketCastsPodbayPodbeanPodcast AddictPodcast IndexPodcast RepublicPodchaserPodfanPodtailRadio PublicRadio.comReason.fmRSSRadioVurblWe.foYandex jQuery(document).ready(function($) { 'use strict';$('#podcast-subscribe-button-13292 .podcast-subscribe-button.modal-66f633d8291d7').on("click", function() {$("#secondline-psb-subs-modal.modal-66f633d8291d7.modal.secondline-modal-66f633d8291d7").modal({fadeDuration: 250,closeText: '',});return false;}); });
I check my online news feed numerous times throughout the day. That's how I keep up with what's happening in the world. But I had to step away from it yesterday. So many of the headlines discussing the Georgia school shooting added two words that really bothered me. It wasn't just another senseless shooting, but it was the worst school shooting this year. I don't know why those two words bothered me so much. I think it speaks to how we've normalized these acts of violence.

Every time we turn around, someone seems to have their hand in our pockets. Businesses continue to find creative ways to separate you from your money. Some will say they're still recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic. And while this may be true for small businesses, many companies are making record profits. But it's still not enough. Many of the courtesy services that stores offer are likely gone for good. For years, a cashier would ask you if you'd like cash back when you pay with a debit card.

As society changes, etiquette is often a topic of discussion. While some things never change, with every new generation, there are always adjustments. One topic that's acceptable in only a few social settings has concerned people for many years. We're talking about sunglasses. Wearing them at night is always a no-no unless you're a celebrity like Jack Nicholson. However, wearing sunglasses when talking to others day or night is unacceptable in many social circles. Some say that our eyes are the mirrors of our souls. And if you hide them behind sunglasses, you're not letting others in...

As I write this, I'm sitting in the dark. The only light I have is the glow from the screen on my iPad. Last night, I was getting ready to produce this new episode of the podcast when we lost power at the house. That happens here in Nashville more than we like, but it's partly a product of overhead power lines. Usually, when something like this happens, I just wait for the brief darkness to be remedied and move on. But this outage is much different. A vehicle took out a power pole on the road leading into our subdivision, and that means there's no quick fix in sight; pardon the pun...

When Labor Day started in the late 1800s, it was a day to honor the people who made their living in the labor trade unions. However, a day to honor only part of the workforce would fail. So, through the years, it became a day to celebrate the blue-collar and white-collar office workers. I've longed joked that there's a third group of workers, the no collar workers. Those are people who wear T-shirts to work. Radio is one of those industries long represented by the no-collar crew. Today, I reflect a bit on my life in all three parts of the workforce...

It's sometimes hard to keep up with all of the characters on TV trying to sell you insurance. Jake from State Farm, The Geico Gecko, and Flo from Progressive are some of the best-known. And while I don't care about those pitch persons or animals, there is one insurance spokesman I love. He's Dr Rick from Progressive. You don't see his commercials as much as Flo's, and that's a shame. He's the self-help guru trying to keep you from turning into your parents.

It's the most famous country music show and has been a part of my life for decades. People worldwide know the Grand Ole Opry. I hung out backstage for the first time back in the mid-1980s. Plus, I've had the privilege of watching many artists I work with perform there. I even took a busload of radio listeners to the old Opryland amusement park in the nineties. But if you told me then that I'd live near the Opry House one day, I would have laughed. But I've lived just a few miles away for over a decade.

You often hear people talk about wanting to turn back time. Watching my nieces and nephews grow up, I frequently try to remember my life when I was their age—they range in age from 7 to nearly 35. And outside of possibly turning back the clock to 35, you couldn't get me to be a teen or in my twenties. While aging isn't always fun, I don't want to be young again. While getting older isn't, at times, much fun, I would hate to let go of all the beautiful parts of my life that have already happened. Sure, it was fun back in my younger days, but it wasn't always easy...

I feel miserable. The last week of August and the first week of September are always rough for me. Everything that I'm allergic to hits its peak every year about this time, and the weather will then determine just how bad I feel. It hit 100 degrees a couple of times this week, and you can nearly cut the air with a knife. I woke up the other day with a sore throat, but I don't know if it's my sinuses or I caught a cold.

People often talk about the feeling that they're being nickeled and dimed to death. I understand the frustration. Today, if you subscribe to any software or app, there's always another upgrade they want you to buy. I miss the days when you'd go to a store to buy the software you need, and you were set for years. Now, you pay either monthly or annually, and they're still not satisfied. This constant begging for more money never ends.

It always happens this way. Just when people think the weather is starting to get cooler and Fall may come early, we get hit with a heatwave. For much of this week, we expect to have highs near 100. While the daytime heat is no fun, I hate it at night. And it's not really hot; it's muggy. But for the last couple of nights, it's been too hot to sleep. I shouldn't complain.

Middle Tennessee basketball fans were frustrated yesterday. If you wanted to watch the Little League World Series championship game on ABC, you couldn't. The Nashville affiliate, WKRN, opted to run a Tennessee Titans preseason game in its place. Usually, when something like this happens, the local TV station runs a message across the bottom of the screen telling you where you can watch the game or when they will replay it. Perhaps they did that, but I didn't see it. Fortunately, I knew I could watch the game online. I feel bad for those who don't understand the other options...

No matter what you call it, soda, pop, or soda pop, we all know that experts tell us it's one of the worst things we can put in our bodies. It can be regular or diet, it doesn't matter. Some say the versions we used to drink years ago, while still not healthy beverages, weren't as bad. Years ago, soda pop was made with real sugar. However, for years, beverage companies have replaced sugar with high fructose corn syrup. It's a much cheaper ingredient and allows beverage companies to profit more significantly. Consumers today might not remember the older versions. But every now and then, you can find limited edition retro versions...

I doubt that this will shock you, but we have a problem with boredom in today's society. Our attention span continues to get shorter. A couple of weeks ago, here on the podcast, I talked about all the time I spend scrolling. Research shows that we become bored because of all of the fast-forwarding and scrolling we do on the internet daily. These activities are now a huge problem for young people.

Have you seen the commercial for the new Sonic Smasher hamburger? It has the theme of a press conference talking about how they think it will be your new favorite burger. Of course, for many, it may simply be commercial hype. But there's an interesting message behind the commercial that's pretty deep. A favorite is only your favorite until a new one comes along.

Social media has occupied my life for nearly two decades. I make my living from it and spend much of my free time creating content, too. It's definitely changed since the early days when most people spent time only on MySpace. Yes, social media has become much more political, and that's both good and bad.

Football fans have been paying close attention to this year's preseason games. During the off-season, NFL owners agreed to new rules for the kickoff. They've adapted what the XFL used a couple of years ago. So far, reviews are mixed. Some love the changes, while football purists already hate them. The overall goal is to bring back some excitement and even create some opportunity for teams to try some stunt plays. Many feel these new rules could change the role of both the kicker and the kick returner. Experts tell us to be patient; two or three preseason games aren't the best examples...

I've done a fair amount of traveling throughout my life. But I've never understood why there are so many brands of hotels and motels. Years ago, there were many family-owned options. Most of those have disappeared. Now, national and international brands control the business. And they offer dozens of brands for people to choose from. Obviously, they have reasons for providing so many choices. Who knew that hotel chains were so nuanced? It's hard to keep track of where to stay unless you're a frequent traveler.

If you've ever wondered why some of your favorite TV shows and movies aren't available on the streaming services, it often has a common reason: music clearance. Whenever a TV show or movie wants to include popular music, producers have to get approval from the songwriters and performers of those songs. Music clearance is what theyh call this agreement amongst everyone. You just can't use any song you want in another media venture without approvals and payments to the rightsholders. Since predicting future technology is impossible, revising these contracts to use music has to occur anytime a new technology emerges...

I've never considered myself normal. So, go ahead and judge me. I have no problem admitting that I don't like french fries. Now, perhaps you'll understand when I explain. I used to enjoy fries, but they're not as good as they used to be. Whether they're from a world-famous fast food joint, a diner, or even a meat and three doesn't matter. Now that everyone uses healthy oil, it's not the same. But that's not the only problem. Today's french fries are inconsistent. They're often mushy or soggy and go cold much faster than they used to.

Experts have long had thoughts on aging. We've all heard about growing old gracefully. However, researchers have found that we don't age gradually. They say there are ages where we spike. It's like we grow old quicker, around 44 and 60. I wish we had known this 20 years ago. I often thought that ages like 40, 50, and 60 were such major milestones in our lives that everything magnified. The highs were higher, and the lows were lower. It's no coincidence that we start having musculoskeletal and cardiovascular problems in our mid-40s and early 60s...

The other day, we were talking about electric vehicles. They're in the news a lot these days. Many states struggle with them, too. You don't need gas when you drive an EV, so you're not paying gas taxes. And that's how most states fund their road repairs and construction. So many states want EV drivers to pay a fee that replaces the gas tax money. But experts say that won't help. People aren't driving as much, and their vehicles get better gas mileage these days, so they're using less gas and paying fewer taxes. Many roads and bridges are in bad shape, and states need more funds to fix them...

The other day, someone at work asked me what was my favorite hobby. I thought for a moment and replied, scrolling. You may not realize this, but it could also be one of your favorite hobbies. What did we spend much time doing when we got our first computer? What are you doing When you open one of your favorite social media apps? And if you use any streaming apps, how do you spend most of your time? If you're anything like me, you answered each question with one word: scrolling.

While many people have turned to electric vehicles as a way to live a greener life, some, like me still have a lot of concerns. I'm not worried about using an EV as a commuter vehicle. My biggest concern is using an EV on long-distance trips. While the idea of portable charging stations seems like the best solution, many problems still need to be solved. Many charging stations experience long waiting times to plug in. A big issue for these stations is what some call charger hogs. These people insist on charging their battery to full charge no matter how long the line is...

A couple of weeks ago, my wife and I were waiting at a stoplight. We looked up at a billboard promoting one of those big-time personal injury lawyers. And at the bottom, in small print, was a disclaimer saying that if you engaged this company, you wouldn't actually meet with the named attorney; you'd be meeting with the guy who heads the Nashville office. This disclaimer was so small it looked like fine print in a newspaper or magazine ad. Then yesterday, I saw the same billboard on the interstate. But it was so far away you couldn't even see the disclaimer. And that feels wrong...

The other night, I was up late and scrolling through the TV listings. On one of my movie channels, I stumbled upon Tommy, the rock opera from The Who. I remember seeing it in the theater when it came out in 1975, but I don't recall much about it. I wanted to see Elton John and Tina Turner perform, but I remember little else. So, I decided to stay up and watch. It was definitely an art piece, and while enjoyable, I can't imagine what my teen self thought about the film when I saw it nearly 50 years ago. While the music is iconic, I can't say the same about the movie...

To say that McDonald's is an iconic brand is an understatement. It's one of the best-known brands in the world. They've done a great job naming their distinct menu items, like the Big Mac, Egg McMuffin, McGriddle, and Filet-o-Fish. Even their mistakes, like the McDLT and McLean, are well known. But one of their most popular sandwiches has always had a simple name until now. McDonald's just announced that they were rebranding their Quarter Pounder with Cheese sandwich, now to be known as the QPC.

Over the last few years, I've paid more attention to youth sports than I did in decades. And one of the most significant changes I've noticed since my playing days is the emphasis on good sportsmanship. While coaches always stressed being a good sport in my youth, it wasn't a big deal. We all had to do the 'good game' handshakes with the opposing team, and it was rarely sincere. Today that hasn't changed; kids still do it, but you can tell they don't want to. However, how schools and youth sports leagues address sportsmanship before and during the game is definitely different...

It's been a long time since I was in school, much longer than I want to admit. But around this time of year, every year, I think back to my school days. And while many would want to relive those times, I look back for different reasons. I think about my classes and why we had to take them. I also wish they offered what I call practical classes. These are electives that teach practical subjects, the things you can use throughout life. Some examples are basic business bookkeeping, how to start a business, or how to play the stock market.

Yesterday, I read a story about a group called Root Nashville, offering free trees to county residents. There's no catch; they're just trying to help beautify a city that some say is growing too fast. They're giving people a choice of five different trees native to the area. The giveaway reminds me of a program we had back in my younger days. Every year around Arbor Day, second-grade students learned about ecology and received a tree to plant at home. The oak tree they gave me all those years ago is still where I planted it. What a great idea, both then and now...

Tipping fatigue is something that many people are talking about. Many say that giving a tip for good service is an American concept. But lately, it seems out of control. So much in our world changed with the COVID-19 shutdown a few years ago. Even after the world reopened, many service-oriented businesses continued to struggle. And with that came more people suggesting that you add a tip. Surveys say the general public has had enough.

New words are always being added to the dictionary. When someone coins a word to explain something new, it only makes sense to legitimize the word. Shrinkflation is a great example. It's a term created in the last decade to describe something new we were witnessing in stores. Manufacturers were looking to find new ways to boost profits. At some point, rising prices aren't an option, so many companies decided to shrink the size of their products just enough that they hope people don't notice. Ice cream is a great example. Try finding a true half-gallon, and you'll understand. However, shrinkflation is happening in all types of products...

My mother taught me how to play solitaire when I was four or five. And I've been playing ever since. Whenever I got bored, I could pull out the playing cards and play a game or two or ten. Kids today don't have the same problem. Ever since the internet came into our lives, there's always something to do. And while I don't keep a deck of playing cards handy, I still play daily on my iPad. I like to think it keeps my mind sharp.

Sometimes, events in life remind me of how long I've been on this earth. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's usually something simple. Last weekend, my niece Hattie played Pac-Man for the first time. My sister-in-law's kids got a tabletop version of the game for Christmas, and their 12-year-old cousin decided she wanted to play. I played the game in the arcade over 40 years ago. It's been around so long that I assumed everyone was familiar with the game.

In the last few years, water bottles have become a status item. People, young and old, judge you by the brand of bottle you carry—they judge the color of the bottle and the accessories you include. I don't know why they matter. But water bottles aren't anything like the one I had on my bicycle in the 1970s. Sure, it's essential to stay hydrated, and using one of these reusable bottles does help reduce waste, but one thing confuses me. Why are these bottles allowed in schools? Most are made of metal, and kids can use them as weapons. So many items are unacceptable in schools, yet these are okay...

It's been a brutal Summer. The heat and humidity never seem to break. Most days in July we had a high temperature of over 90 degrees. And August is starting the same way with another heat advisory. When I was younger, I never worried about the heat or humidity. But, like many others, as I get older, I have to pay attention to the daily forecast.

When people come to Nashville, one of the first things they notice is all the cranes building high-rise buildings throughout town. Everywhere you turn, new buildings, big and small, are being constructed. The 7-Eleven convenience store chain was here many years ago and then left. But as Nashville grew, they decided to come back. At first, they took over some existing Exxon Tiger Mart stores. Then, they decided to build some new locations.

People have been using non-stick cookware in their kitchen for decades. But many wonder if these convenient pots and pans are causing us harm. Instances of what some call the Teflon Flu are increasing, causing great concern for poison experts.

It doesn't happen with all pots and pans, but experts are trying to figure out how to spot the issue before it causes harm.

For decades, the one thing that set Southwest Airlines apart from other companies was how they boarded their planes.

You might have heard the news that Southwest is making a significant change.

The way we watch TV has changed drastically in recent years. When I was younger, we often had just the primary networks and a couple of independent local channels. Then in 70s and 80s, cable TV came around and gave us many more channels to watch. Now, just a few decades later, people are cutting the cord and moving to streaming services. While many of those services have a monthly fee, some offer an option for free streaming. Those services make their money like traditional TV by selling commercials.

We all have weaknesses. One of mine is carbohydrates. They don't like me, but I sure do like them. One of the perks of working at my office is that we usually get bagels for the whole office at our big Tuesday staff meeting each week. And while I try to limit my weekly intake, I could eat bagels all the time. I try to restrict myself to only one per day, but it's tough. And nothing beats a free bagel! One strange thing about the bagels we get at work is that many people only take half of the bagel. And, of course, it's the top half, which is the best part.

One of the downsides of the internet is that it's filled with scammers. All these people do is find ways to separate you from your money. And social media hasn't helped. Most platforms give these crooks more opportunities to harass you. Facebook has a big problem with fake users. Criminals create fake profiles and then ask you to connect. Once you do, they will send messages to engage you, hoping to extort you eventually. I report 2-3 of these bogus users weekly, and Facebook rarely takes action.

Like many, I have mixed feelings about getting older. The upside is just living another day, let alone another year. I try not to consider the downside, but it's hard to escape. The random aches and pains that seem to last longer can be frustrating. But for me, the one thing that reminds me just how old I am is the announcement of another notable name that has passed away. The loss of a musician, athlete, or celebrity from our youth reminds us that our time on earth is short and getting shorter every day...

Like many people, I've been glued to my TV and trying to keep up with all that's happening with the Presidential race in the last ten days. I usually try to stay away from politics here on The Mason Minute. It's a habit I learned long ago in the news business. I'm sure I could get more listeners by discussing politics, religion, and sex. But you can go to many places to learn about those subjects. My goal is to keep things as light-hearted as possible. And with everything happening right now, it might be tough to stay relaxed.

If you look it up in the dictionary, the definition for the word friend states something like a person you know with whom you have a bond of mutual affection. But since the dawn of social media, that definition has changed. Our social media connections are now often considered friends. It's been that way since the days when MySpace ruled the internet. So when we now refer to our friends, what does that mean? Are there levels of friendship? Social media platforms even allow us to assign people to our close friends list. Perhaps we should revise how we categorize people in real life...

My wife and I go out to eat less often than we used to. Years ago, we used to eat out 5 or 6 nights a week. But in the last few years, it's been the reverse. Now, we usually dine at home 5 or 6 nights a week. And it's not the same when we go out for dinner. COVID-19 changed everything. Now, when you walk into a restaurant, they ask if you want to dine-in or carry out. And in some places, dining there isn't really an option. We stopped at Pizza Hut last night for the first time in a long time, and we were met with a sign that said the dining room was closed. And this isn't a temporary thing...

When it comes to dessert, I'm a simple guy. I don't need anything that's set ablaze; something simple like cake, pie, or ice cream will work for me. But perhaps I need to rethink cake. It used to be simple, but now, everywhere I turn, people are creating cakes in all shapes and sizes. And they don't ever use frosting; they use fondant. When did we move past Betty Crocker and Duncan Hines? Don't get me wrong, you can't beat a homemade cake made from scratch, but lately, even that's too basic for most people.

The space race between the US and Russia in the 50s and 60s was a big deal. At times, our landing on the moon seems like it happened a lifetime ago, but at other times, it feels like it was yesterday. Getting to the moon was a considerable priority, but many lost interest shortly after we arrived in 1969. Within less than a decade, the public moved on. But now, roughly 50 years later, our country is again interested in space travel. With all of our technological advances, it should be quick and easy to get back into the space race.

I’ve often said that I’m my own harshest critic. I know my strengths and weaknesses after so many years in the workforce. Even after all these years, I still make every effort to improve myself. Like most companies, mine does an annual performance review. And part of that process includes a self-evaluation. I’ve done this exercise many times before and find it difficult. It’s tough to see how others view you and your work when you see all the flaws. I do some things exceptionally well, but I don’t want to sound too boastful. And when they ask for things I feel I need to work on, that list is long…

Time is something we can't escape. From the moment we first understand the concept as a youngster to the second we draw our last breath, it's always on our mind. But how do we know that a minute is truly a minute or an hour is actually an hour? We have to assume that the clock or even a stopwatch is correct. The one thing we can't count is milliseconds. They're why we add an extra day to the calendar every four years. Scientists recently found that global warming is affecting time. And that means we may have to adjust our clocks even more. That's concerning...

Some things come with age that are good, such as wisdom. But sometimes, there are more negative aspects of aging. Of course, the aches and pains are a given. And another thing that's difficult to avoid is lentigo. When I was younger, I remember many called them liver spots, but today, most refer to them as age spots. Fair-skinned adults and sun worshippers are often the people most affected. While they're mostly harmless, they do make you look older. I never once thought that spending many summers playing basketball outdoors in my teen years would be something I regretted as I aged...

For the last day and a half, the word I keep hearing on television is shocking. People are shocked by the attempt on a former President's life at his rally on Saturday night. But for many who, like me, were alive in the 1960s, the events that transpired in Pennsylvania aren't surprising. While I was merely a child in 1968, I sensed the tension in our nation at the time as I witnessed two assassinations in a mere matter of months. I've had that same uneasy feeling in recent years. Back then, the fight was between young and old; today, it's left versus right. And the animosity is similar...

Growing up, I remember hearing the old saying, "Sleep tight. Don't let the bedbugs bite." As a child, I didn't understand what they were talking about. When I was older, I learned the hard way that the little critters really did exist. For the most part, by the time I was born, they were mostly just a memory. But bedbugs are making a comeback. While still not common, their population has started to increase. While our current pesticides aren't as dangerous, in some ways, they aren't as effective as the ones we used in the 60s and 70s.

I don't think about it often, but the world has changed so much since my younger days. And I think about the changes my parents have seen in their lifetime. It's amazing. Some are obvious, while others might not be noticeable. Significant changes in life include television, the internet, and cellular phones. But there are other changes that we barely notice. Decades ago, I used to Monarch butterflies all the time. They were everywhere. But I haven't seen one in years. I thought perhaps they aren't native to Tennessee.

Nashville has been a part of my life since my first unplanned visit during my freshman year of college. And it's hard to believe I've lived here for 17 years. It's the longest I've lived in one place throughout my lifetime. And a lot has changed through the years. Nashville barely resembles the town I saw 45 years ago. In fact, the amount that's changed since I moved here in 2007 is almost as shocking. While tourism has always been important here, some feel over-tourism is upon us. Other cities across the world are wrestling with that same stress. But how they're fighting back is unique...

Yesterday, I was thinking back to the days when I was fearless. And it's not just me. When we're young, almost nothing will stop us. If we want it bad enough, we'll do whatever it takes to try to achieve it. Sometimes, that lack of fear is just foolishness. But as we get older, we learn our limitations. Or at least we need to. Sure, staying healthy is one of the keys to living longer. However, I believe that knowing and accepting our limitations is highly important. It's still okay to push boundaries, sometimes.

Age gives us perspective. At least, that's what I try to tell everyone. Looking back at my younger days, I'm amazed at how fearless I was. Perhaps it's naïveté, but we don't have as much fear when we're young. Or, as I think back, we lack common sense. Many things I'd try or do when I was in my twenties or thirties I'd never consider today. And I don't even think about the silly things I did as a teen. We learn a lot as we get older. We learn from our mistakes and what we avoid. While it's best never to look back, sometimes it's nice to remember when you had no fear...

The Olympic games begin in less than three weeks. But some athletes still don't know if they will make the trip. In the US, we just wrapped up Olympic qualifiers for some of the most high-profile sports, like track and field and gymnastics. In Europe, basketball teams are still playing to see if they're heading to Paris. And those are just the sports I'm aware of. How fair is this to the athletes?

Banking is in a constant state of change. While checking and saving accounts still perform the same functions, how you access your money has changed over the years. For the longest time, if you wanted to purchase something at a store using your bank account, you'd write a check. However, that began to change with the advent of the debit card in the 70s and the internet in the 90s. You can still write checks, but fewer people do. Today, fewer businesses will accept a handwritten check. And those numbers continue to dwindle. Target just announced they were making a change, and many are upset...

There are some things in life you don't think about. These things have always been around and will be long after you're gone. A perfect example is grapes. I couldn't tell you the first time I ate grapes, but I probably had them in jelly form the first time. And like many adults, I've enjoyed them more in the form of wine. I read a fascinating article the other day that dates grapes back to the extinction of the dinosaurs.

But if you're like me, there was about Hawaiian Punch that bothered you; it never seemed to stay cold.

You'll start seeing more sports on your television in the coming months. Warner-Discovery announced they're adding more college sports coverage on TNT, Tru TV, and TBS. While many games move to streaming services and apps, cable channels are trying to add more games to their lineup. College football and basketball draw good ratings, and that means revenue.

It seems like yesterday that we were all home-bound due to COVID-19. And even though it's been two years since life started returning to normal, the virus continues mutating. Researchers fear that our next pandemic could happen soon and want us to be better prepared. The Bird Flu, which we've heard about for the last few years, could be that virus. And the experts want to ensure we stay ahead of this so we don't have to adjust our lives again. The Bird Flu has already migrated to dairy cows and has already been found in a few people.

One of the best parts about the internet is the amount of information you can find about any subject. Along with all of the written data, you can find an immeasurable number of images plus thousands of hours of video and audio. At one time, I believed all available media would eventually be found on the internet. Until recently, it looked like that might happen. But last week, Paramount removed thousands of video files from its Comedy Central, MTV, CMT, and TV Land networks. Their goal is to force people to subscribe to Paramount+ if they want that content.

I admit I'm obsessed with saving receipts. It's something I've done for decades. If I can get a receipt, I'll take it. It gets placed in my bill box. At the end of each year, I put that box away in storage. I even get receipts for the simplest things. Over the weekend, my wife and I stopped at a convenience store for bottled water. I paid with my credit card and asked for the receipt. But there was a problem: the cash register ran out of paper. And when they went to replace the paper, none could be found. This store was out of receipt paper. I was shocked...

It may seem silly, but cookies are very personal things. They're more than just a simple snack. While you can't go wrong with chocolate chips, there's something special about oatmeal raisin cookies. I realize that they're a very polarizing choice. You either love them or you hate them. I'm not ashamed to admit I'm a fan. But I find that people will judge you for that choice. We had some cookies in the office the other day, and I passed on the chocolate chip and went right for the oatmeal raisin. I didn't think anything of it, but others were quite surprised...

If you love sports, you have a favorite team. The sport doesn’t matter; we all have some we cheer for and a few we root against. But the worst kind of sports fan is the one who will jump on the bandwagon of a winning team. It’s easy to pull for a winner. Usually, it’s the casual fan who jumps from team to team. I witnessed many folks jump on the bandwagon of the University of Tennessee baseball team. They won the College World Series earlier this week. And while I know many people who pull for them year in and year out, I found out they have a lot of new fans all of a sudden…

I often wonder if the world around me changes so much that I usually don't notice or if I've changed. No matter the situation, there always seem to be last-minute changes. Is this new, or is this me? I don't think I'm the only one who deals with this regularly. I think it's now simply part of our culture. Are people too afraid to make decisions, or are they just holding out until the last possible second? While I love being spontaneous, I've always been a planner. But lately, it seems that there's no benefit to planning. Perhaps it's always been this way, and I'm just noticing...

I got lucky the other day. We all face these scenarios in life. A problem arises, and there's a quick, cheap fix, or it will be a costly situation that takes a long time to solve. That's what I faced the other day. Our thermostat stopped working on what was supposed to be one of the hottest days of the year. I'm preparing for the worst; we replace our heat pump. But, if I'm fortunate, all I need to do is replace the thermostat. I've changed one out before, but it wasn't a quick fix. All I needed to do was make a quick trip to Home Depot...

Like many companies, Walmart is always looking for more ways to be efficient. At least, that's their description. Many feel they constantly seek ways to cut personnel costs and increase profits. However you look at it, they've announced that they will soon be making a change in thousands of their stores. They plan to move to electronic pricing on their shelves. No longer will employees manually change prices up and down. Soon, their pricing will be handled digitally. And many people are concerned that Walmart could start using a spike pricing model...

In many homes, it's something that can lead to a lot of arguments. What's the best setting for your thermostat? Finding the right temperature for everyone is a challenge. Some care about their comfort, others only care about the cost. The government wants us to think about the power grid, and the U.S. Department of Energy has released its recommendations for the proper thermostat settings for our homes. They say they want to help us save money. However, they also want to ensure there are no power outages across the country due to surging demand.

Recently, I've noticed that people have been saying bad things about grapefruit. I'm confused. Have people always disliked it, or is this something new? For many, it's associated with dieting. But is that any reason to geive it a bad rap? While it's not something I think about for snack food, I enjoy it with a protein-packed breakfast. It may have something to do with grapefruit juice. Because of its tartness, it's far from the most popular juice. I know that foods can be trendy, but does it currently suffer from a popularity problem? That doesn't make much sense...

Last weekend, I was out running errands. And as I was driving through the neighborhood, I saw something I hadn't seen in years. I saw the ice cream man. It was a beat-up old van, but all the pictures of the frozen treats he was selling brought back memories. Like many, I loved it when the ice cream truck drove down my street. While a few are still around, you don't see them like you used to. As we started seeing a convenience on every corner, the ice cream man and his truck disappeared.

Experts say we could have record-breaking heat this summer. It will likely involve the number of days with highs in the 90s here in Nashville. We've already been dealing with 90-degree weather for the last few weeks. And now that Summer is officially here, it isn't going to get better. I prefer hot weather to cold, so while I may sweat a bit more, I don't mind too much. But my biggest problem is my deodorant. Technically, my concern is with my antiperspirant. The brand I've used for years isn't working like it used to. It isn't handling my sweat very well...

My wife and I were watching the college baseball World Series, and she asked me why it was a double-elimination tournament. I had no idea, so I searched for the answer. There are hundreds of stories about how double-elimination tournaments work, but no explanations for why. I can think of numerous examples in the baseball world, and I played in a 3-on-3 basketball tourney organized that way, but I can't think of examples in football. So why is the College World Series organized this way? And why aren't most of the playoffs in sports? There must be some explanation...

As Nashville grows rapidly, the congestion on our roadways keeps getting worse. Experts say much of our problem is related to lack of public transportation. And while that is a factor, our constant construction isn't helping. I've discussed this before, but I think our traffic lights are also part of the problem. I often find myself waiting at a red light with no vehicles coming from the cross street. And during rush hour, the cars can get stacked up more than ten deep. I don't know how much adjustment they can make to our traffic lights, but anything is an improvement...

Did you know that June was Internet Safety Month? Don't worry, I didn't either. When I first read about it, I wondered if we were concerned with safety for teenagers or senior citizens. It's hard to believe I've been online for almost 30 years. It seems like only yesterday when we were still using dial-up modems. Even before the internet, it didn't take long to realize how dangerous online activities can be. I witnessed that back in the days of Prodigy, Compuserve, and AOL. Wow, I'm really dating myself...

The weekend is over, and I got very little done. I had every intention to get to some of the small projects on my to-do list. My wife was out of town, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity. So what did I get done? Very little. I ran all the errands I needed to, but I only finished a few of my projects. My body told me I needed to chill out. For too long, I never listened to my body and pushed myself to the limit. But in the last few years, I finally decided to try to do the right thing and take better care of myself.

When I worked in radio, I did my best to stay updated on pop culture. That often meant checking out TV shows that didn't interest me but were popular with my listeners. With as much media as I consume, I only miss a little. But occasionally, a show comes along that I never check out at least once. I found one of those the other day. I stumbled upon an old FOX network TV show from the early 2000s, Bones. Hour-long suspense dramas aren't something I'd usually watch, but it hooked me within 10 minutes of watching.

Due to all my sinus issues, I don't have the best sense of smell. But there's one thing I never have a problem noticing: the smell of death. You only need to smell it once because that smell is always there. In our area, it's usually an animal, often a deer, hit on the roadway. As big as a city as Nashville is, we still have many wooded areas where animals like deer, possums, and raccoons try to survive. I feel bad for them, but I know it's just the circle of life.

Limiting speed in our vehicles could be a reality very soon. And I'm not talking about limiting how fast your car or truck can go. It's about ensuring your vehicle doesn't exceed the speed limit. While the possibility upsets a lot of people, some are warming to the idea. A California Congressman recently tried to introduce a bill that would place a governor in every new vehicle sold there. While he didn't get everything he wanted, he revised the bill to include a limiter that the driver can turn off. This limiter will change how we drive in the future...

The term sadfishing may be new to you, but if you've spent time on social media, you've likely seen it. You might even be guilty of this yourself. Sadfishing is something that people do to elicit a response from their social media followers. It's often a cryptic cry for help. Now, the person doing this doesn't actually tell you what's going on. They're just fishing for comments, for people to express their concerns. It's one thing to ask for prayers directly, but it's uncalled for to post something and give the illusion that something's wrong when all you're doing is begging for attention...

Outraged fans have been taking to social media for the last few days. They're upset about a few things in the sports world. First is Caitlin Clark's omission from the women's Olympic basketball team. While she's taking the high road, others are going to extremes to express their displeasure.

At this stage in life, it takes a lot to shock me. But I read something the other day that stunned me and made me question just how unhinged our world is becoming. And this has nothing to do with politics. The story was about baseball. It was a discussion about the numerous death threats that players are getting, all because of gambling. Now that betting is legal, many people with gambling issues wager their money on not only winners and losers but on specific plays in the games. They're called prop bets; when some lose money, they actually threaten players...

Many school boards across the country are having serious discussions. They want to institute a cell phone ban for students. The school systems feel that smartphones offer too many distractions. Text messaging and social media apps are causing too many distractions for students in class. Many school systems thought this would be a slam dunk and make parents happy.

Even though we live in the city, we have critters all around us. Things like deer and skunks are almost commonplace. Every now and then, we'll hear stories of wolves and bears nearby. That doesn't happen very often, but when it does, we're not that surprised. Fortunately, there are some animals we haven't had to deal with here in Tennessee that I know of, such as alligators.

I've spent a lot of time around famous people throughout my life. And it must be rough. Even though being a celebrity, musician, TV star, or actor gets tiring, they never really want the adoring fans to disappear. Saying farewell is difficult.

Is this a new problem, or does it seem worse since we now get worldwide news as it happens? Often, these recalls are a result of sloppy manufacturing. The good news is that these problems are often regional or limited to a specific product run. But this sure is happening more often. Nearly every time a problem arises, I check my pantry or refrigerator to see if something in my house is contaminated...

If you spend a lot of time on social media, you've likely encountered a feed filled with ads. Even though everything you do online is tracked, and the sites make money from your data, they want more. That's why you see more of them every day. So what more can they do to annoy you? Instagram is rolling out new ads that they call an ad break. The reason they're different is you can only move past them once they play all the way through. YouTube has been doing this for years, and Instagram hopes to make this a permanent feature. It sounds like a hard sell to me...

If you drink soda or pop if you prefer, you're probably familiar with the cola wars. This battle has been going on for decades between Coke and Pepsi. Most people fall into either one of the two camps. You're either a Coke person or a Pepsi person. But the cola wars are on hold, at least for a while. There's a new player in this war that's not actually a cola; it's Dr. Pepper. For the first time, Dr. Pepper has climbed into the number 2 position in soft drink popularity. It only beat Pepsi by a fraction of a point, but this ranking is something no one ever thought possible...

Consumers today are frustrated. And that's putting things mildly. Businesses continue to raise prices and decrease service. They're trying to push the limits without losing customers. For many, it's not working. Perhaps we've reached the boiling point. Now, many companies tell you to download their app in order to save. But they want to track your data, behavior, and online movements. They want to lure you in with some small offer and hope you don't realize what they're really after. They want to know everything about you without you knowing it...

The school year has wrapped up for more students here in Middle Tennessee. And the last thing many kids want is more school. Now, I'm not talking about summer school. But I noticed a trend around town. Most churches that conduct vacation bible school every summer now do it the week after school ends. It's been decades since I attended VBS, but I know it didn't happen the week after we cleaned out our desks. If my memory serves me, we went in mid to late July. And that was back in a time before most buildings had central air. There has to be a reason that so many churches have made this move...

I've been driving for a long time. But I can close my eyes and still remember my first driver's test like it was yesterday. I spent hours pouring through the test materials, ensuring I knew all the rules of the road. No matter where we live, the tests are very similar. But I'm amazed at how many people don't follow the rules or don't care. And I'm not talking about speeding. I'm thinking about a basic courtesy when you drive at night. For some reason, more people are driving with their high beams on all the time, even when they're approaching cars on the highway. And as headlights get brighter, the problem gets worse...

I often think back to my younger days and some of the silly things I did. Okay, I did some stupid stuff, too. When we're young, we don't think about the future. I'm reminded of this every day when I pass our local water park on my way home from work. I always see kids standing in the sun, waiting for their turn to go down the giant slide. They don't have a care in the world. But they will pay for all that sunshine when they get older. We all do. Even today, as hard as I try to avoid the sun, I still get burned every now and then. It's not as severe as it used to be, but avoiding the sun is brutal...

I've long wondered why dump truck companies are allowed to put signs on the back of their trucks telling you they aren't responsible for damage to your vehicle if something flies out of their back end. We've all seen the signs that say 'Stay Back 200 Feet'. Because Nashville is growing quickly, construction vehicles are seen on the road daily. I encounter at least one dump truck on my way to work every morning. And sometimes I have to deal with three or four. Even on multi-lane roads, they slow down traffic because everyone is afraid to pass. In rush hour traffic, staying 200 feet behind causes lots of problems...

The other day, we mentioned that Cartoon Network was programming less to kids and gearing much of the day toward adults. Youngsters just aren't watching the cartoons like they used to. It makes sense that the MeTV network is launching a channel devoted solely to classic cartoons. It will launch in late June and targets baby boomers. They'll feature classic toons like Bugs Bunny, Yogi Bear, Scooby Doo, and the Flinstones. It sounds like they're airing all those programs we loved in our youth. There's no doubt they're looking to attract old folks like me...

Throughout my lifetime, tattoos have grown in popularity. When I was growing up, the only time you saw one was on grizzled old Navy vets. Today, they're almost everywhere. Roughly one-third of Americans, men and women combined, have at least one. However, researchers in Europe warn that anyone with a tattoo has an increased chance of lymphoma cancer. They're not saying that you should avoid getting one, but you need to be aware and see a doctor if there are any changes with your skin. This research is relatively new, so I'm sure more will be done. But it's best to pay attention...

As TV viewership continues to shrink, the cost of cable TV continues to rise. We often hear stories of those who opt to cut the cord rather than pay for channels they don't want. High-speed internet has made other viewing options possible. However, younger people still opt to avoid the programming networks created for them. Ratings for The Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, The Cartoon Network, and other channels targeting viewers under 18 are way down and dropping yearly. YouTube and TikTok are taking the place of both network and cable programming...

It's Memorial Day here in the United States, which kicks off a six-week period where we celebrate three of the biggest flay flying holidays. I'm fascinated that we celebrate Memorial Day, Flag Day, and Independence Day in roughly six weeks. While some fly our flag year-round, many only put it on display for the patriotic holidays. Interestingly, three of those big patriotic celebration days happen in just a few weeks. This may be a coincidence, but I doubt it.

Many consider Memorial Day weekend to be the unofficial kick-off to summer. And that means BBQ season is underway, too. Or should I write it as barbecue season? That's another podcast for another day. I don't cook out much anymore. We haven't had a grill for years. I know a lot of folks who love grilling. Do many people still have those cheap charcoal grills? While some still prefer charcoal, many have moved on to gas grilling. And these grills aren't the cheap ones, either.

If you live throughout the Midwest or South, you're likely dealing with an immense amount of noise. This year, we're getting a double dose of cicadas. I'm no expert, but if I remember correctly, the 10-year and 17-year brood are back simultaneously. When one brood returns, the noise is deafening. And with double the number of bugs, we get double the noise. Is there a volume level louder than deafening? In some parts of the country, they returned in April and should be gone by June.

For many, the Memorial Day weekend is a three-day celebration. The concept of a long weekend isn't something I've dealt with through most of my life. Growing up, my father never got an extended holiday. He usually worked six days a week and rarely got holidays off. When I worked in radio, it took me a long time before I got holidays off, but we often had special events, so long weekends were few and far between. But now that I work a regular office job, I finally see what people get excited about. Like many, I now look forward to the holidays that I worked for decades...

If you head to work during the morning commute, you like to pass by a bus stop or two. Some may be for the city bus if your city has that service. But no matter where you live, you will likely encounter some kids waiting for the bus to take them to school. And I've noticed that children today don't interact with their friends while waiting for the bus to arrive. Most have their head buried in their smartphone.

Recently, I've been wondering why we're attracted to some things versus others. And I'm not talking about our attraction to other people, although it does fit my question. I'm thinking about things like music or our hobbies. Often, our passions connect to those around us who share similar interests. If your grandfather loves baseball, it makes sense why you might love it too. But there are some things that we're drawn to that could be more obvious.

For some people, making a decision, no matter what it is, is difficult to do. It may be the way that they're wired. But recently, more people seem to be afraid to make decisions. It didn't used to be that way. Why are people so fearful? I've never had this problem. Decisions aren't always permanent. If you make a wrong choice, you can often pivot and go the other way.

It’s graduation season across the USA. One of my nephews graduated from college a couple of weeks ago, and one of my nieces will graduate from high school in a couple of weeks. At this point in my life, it’s hard to remember my school days. It’s been a long time since I cracked a school book. History was one of my favorite subjects, and I thought about it the other day. So much has happened in the world in the forty-plus years I’ve been out of school. How much of that have they added to the history books? And more importantly, what events have been diminished or omitted? That gets me thinking…

Yesterday was a frustrating day. No matter where I was going or what I did, I ran into annoying people. And I mean that both figuratively and literally. On the highway, everyone was in a hurry, except for the people who were on the road to get in the way. We had to do some shopping, and my cart got bumped numerous times.

I can't remember the first time a restaurant offered free refills for their beverages. Back in the day, coffee and tea came with refills, while things like Coke and Pepsi didn't. But over the last few decades, that changed. Most fast food and quick service restaurants offer unlimited refills on everything but alcohol. As I've heard from non-American friends, these freebies are strictly an American concept. Well, all of that is beginning to change. McDonald's has announced they will do away with that practice over the next few years. Some franchisees have already started...

I've noticed these signs on the back of big trucks for years. They usually read this vehicle makes wide right turns. Sometimes, you get stuck behind one, but it's a minor inconvenience. That all changed when I started driving during rush hour. As the city grows, Nashville traffic is getting worse. And I often encounter big trucks on the city streets. Many of these trucks have a wide right turn sticker on their back gate. And, of course, they always need to make a turn. On many city streets, they take up more than one lane, which means traffic will stack up behind them...

There's been a long-running argument over whether hamburgers and hot dogs should be considered sandwiches.

Yesterday, I was talking about skunky beer. Today, we’re speaking of skunks, or technically, I’m focusing on a skunk. We’ve had one visit our backyard nightly for the last week or so. It shows up just before dark, and it’s obviously looking for something to eat. Our backyard is fenced in, but the critters found a small space to squeeze through in the back corner. It hasn’t caused us any problems yet, but I’m preparing for the day it does. I don’t know what it’s finding to eat, but there must be something since it keeps returning. As long as it doesn’t spray, we’re okay…

You understand what skunky means if you've ever drank a glass of stale iced tea or perhaps a nasty mug of beer. Part of the reason I stopped drinking beer decades ago is because I had too many skunky beers. But the one thing worse than that is stale iced tea. Now, if you drink only sweet tea, you don't notice when it's stale. But when you live in the south and try to drink unsweetened tea, it's usually skunky. The reason is simple. More people drink the sweet stuff, so it doesn't have time to sit. If you prefer it without sugar, you must prepare for something nasty...

We all have little quirks that make us who we are. For some, they're fears and often irrational. For example, I have a fear of being around armored cars. Technically, I guess we should call them armored trucks. Now, I don't freak out, but I do my best to get away from them as quickly as possible. The other day, I was heading to work and had one pull out in front of me. Traffic was heavy, but I knew I had to find a way to get around the vehicle. While I don't have a panic attack, I go into escape mode. I know that it's silly and pretty irrational, but that doesn't matter...

It's Mother's Day. For many, it's a day to honor our mother and remind her that we care. Of course, I can argue that we should look at every day throughout the year similarly. But while it's a day to celebrate, it is also a tough day for many. For anyone who has lost their mother, it can be a tough day. I've seen that first-hand the last few years, as it's been almost five years since my mother-in-law passed away unexpectedly. And while my wife struggles with that fact all of the time, I especially notice her pain around this holiday. And she's not alone...

One of our nephews is in Nashville this weekend for a bachelor party. When he told us he was coming, I only had one question: Why Nashville? I'm no expert when it comes to the subject, but I have been to some of the top party towns across America. And while I love Nashville, I don't know if it would make my list of bachelor party destinations. I think Las Vegas, New York, New Orleans, or Miami's South Beach would be better places to party. But I may be biased. Because of all my years working with country music, perhaps I don't view Nashville like others do...

No one ever said that simple was easy. A few weeks ago, one of the brackets that hold up the handrail on the steps leading to our second floor broke. If you have a staircase in your house, you know the one I'm talking about. It's made of brass or some alloy that looks like brass; they attach to the wall and the bottom of the handrail. It's a simple bracket, or so I thought. While most look the same, they're not. There are slight variations. Some come to a point at the bottom, and some are slightly rounded. And, of course, the screw holes don't line up perfectly...

Many parts of the country have dealt with tornadoes over the last few days. The warmer weather and severe storms often make for a troubling combination this time of year. I remember going through tornado drills when I was still in grade school. While Nashville has experienced numerous tornadoes over the last few years, the straight-line winds often catch people by surprise. We discussed the weather around the office yesterday, and I knew people were preparing. But it wasn't tornadoes causing concern; it was straight-line winds...

Many people like to spend time in the backyard during this time of year. It could be gardening, hanging out with friends, or even grilling out. While I enjoyed spending time outdoors in my younger days, my allergies mostly keep me indoors today. I spend very little time in the backyard. But I can watch all the wildlife, and somehow, it ends up inside the fence. We always see birds and squirrels, and bunny rabbits love that we don't have any dogs to bother them. Recently, we had a new visitor stop by, a skunk. Now, I have to figure out how to make it go away...

Consumers are frustrated. For the last couple of years, the cost of everything has skyrocketed. For a while, people kept buying what they needed. But recently, they’ve screamed enough is enough. Fewer people are dining out. Many are even staying away from fast food. Business at grocery stores is slowing down, too. Shoppers have had enough. And it’s finally getting back to the companies that are trying to control the price. They claim they get the message, and they promise to cut prices. We’ll see if they’re serious…

I'm sure someone explained this to me years ago, but I couldn't remember how jam and jelly differ. And what about preserves? Recently, we went out for dinner, and they had some little containers to use on my biscuits. I thought I knew the difference, but I get a bit confused when you add preserves to the mix. I didn't spend much time thinking about this, but I had to look up the answer. As I expected, it all depends on the size of the fruit pieces or the lack thereof...

While I don’t own a self-driving car, I often joke that the one thing I can do is head north with my eyes closed. If I drive any highway outside of Nashville, I usually head north on Interstate 65. Once or twice a month, I visit my booth at the antique mall in Franklin, Kentucky. But we’re often on the road to Indiana to see family. Yesterday, we rolled up I-65 to see our nephew Cade graduate from college. Since the pandemic shut down his high school graduation, there was no way we were missing this one. My wife and I’ve made that northbound trip hundreds of times…

I have difficulty remembering when or where things happen as I get older. I often need a point of reference to jog my memory. Now, this isn’t an issue with my memory. It’s simply because there are so many memories filling my brain. Today my nephew, Cade, graduates from college. It seems like yesterday when he was starting school, and by that, I mean Kindergarten. But that was seventeen years ago, the year I moved to Nashville. When you’re in school, time seems to crawl. But as you get older, time flies. With so many memories, it’s sometimes hard to keep track…

Sometimes, I have to stop and think about the people I’ve met, places I’ve gone, and things I’ve done. I realize that my life is like so many others. With my father’s years in the media and all of mine, I’ve experienced many things that sometimes fascinate people. But I’ve long realized that we’re all on a different journey. Even those who think they’ve led a simple life can have some fantastic stories. I love it when I get to hang out in our office kitchen, even for just a few minutes, because that’s where so many stories are shared…

One of the best things that has happened to our streets and highways is the creation of the center turn lane. That extra lane makes all the difference to keep traffic flowing. I’m sure they’ve been around for a long time, but I didn’t see one until the late 1970s. But they’ve been around so long that more people now use them to merge into traffic rather than for the reason they were created. I see this happen every day on my way into the office. Delivery trucks now use them as a way to merge into traffic. And that creates some problems…

My brain holds a lot of strange facts. Some are useful, but most are just good if you’re playing a trivia game. We were in a team meeting the other day at work, and the subject of May Day came up. I started talking about the tradition of dancing around the Maypole. Most on the call had no clue. Then I made a joke about eating Maypo on May Day. Not one person had a clue about Maypo. It’s a warm maple-flavored breakfast cereal that was extremely popular in the 50s and 60s. You can still find it in some stores, but I don’t know who still eats it…

The number of violent crimes is rising here in Nashville. Some say it happens in every area filled with rapid growth. While that doesn’t make me comfortable, I understand. But the very alarming stat involves violent crimes committed by people who are out on bond. The number of people who post bail after committing a crime, who then go out and commit another crime while they’re awaiting trial, is shocking. It’s happened numerous times in just the last couple of weeks. When the chief of police is concerned, I know I should be too…

Anyone who has taken a US History class knows the story of the Civil War. It was a monumental time in the history of our country. But political experts feel there’s potential for another Civil War, which could happen anytime. Some feel we are more divided politically than we’ve ever been in the history of our country. While both the 1860s and 1960s were a time of social and political divide, some feel those times pale compared to what we’re going through now. In the 1860s, it was the North versus the South. In the 1960s, there was a divide between young and old. Today is much different…

Many people like to have a beer with their dinner. But some foods don’t work with beer. I’m not judging, but I feel it doesn’t work with breakfast foods. We ate dinner at The Cracker Barrel last night, and I know they’ve been serving alcohol there for a couple of years. I still find that very strange. Now, no matter the time of day, I usually only eat breakfast foods there. And I can’t imagine ordering a beer to go along with my Grandpa’s Country Fried Breakfast…

I don’t know anyone who enjoys a trip to the DMV. I’ve held a driver’s license in seven states throughout the years, and the way Tennessee does things just doesn’t work. We go to one office to get our car title, registration, and license plates. When you need a new license, you go to a different office. Our DMV is split into two parts, while most states handle everything in the same place. Yesterday, I had to renew my license, and I knew I couldn’t just do it during lunch hour. I had to take the whole day off and still couldn’t get everything I needed to…

The clinical term is myopia. Most of us know it better when it’s called nearsightedness. I’ve suffered with it for over 55 years. All of my family suffers from it, too. While some people wear glasses for style, those who must wear them to correct their vision usually hate them. According to recent research, our eyesight is getting worse. Doctors predict that half the world’s population will suffer from nearsightedness within the next 30 years. And the reason this is happening may surprise you…

Throughout my life, I’ve spent a lot of time watching TV. Many people my age can say the same thing. Growing up, I sat in front of the TV before I went to school and then came home and did the same thing. I still watch more than most people. But in recent years, it’s not the same thing anymore. While I still watch TV, I’m not concerned if I miss an episode. Sure, I can record it on my DVR or catch it on demand, but usually, I move on. There’s always something to watch, thanks to streaming, on-demand, and the DVR…

About this time every year, our front porch looks like a war zone. For some reason, barn swallows return to our neighborhood yearly to build nests and have babies. Without fail, these birds try to make their nests on top of the pillars that frame our front doors. We’ve tried to keep the birds away for the last few years, but it doesn’t work. We’ve even placed bird spikes on top of the pillars so they can’t build nests. We thought we were in the clear this year until the birds returned a few weeks late…

I love trivia. And I’ve always loved watching sports trivia shows on TV. The first show I remember is Sports Challenge starring Dick Enberg back in the 1970s. Over the weekend, I was reminded of another one of my faves from the early 2000s. The show was called Stump The Schwab. ESPN’s Stuart Scott was the host, and it featured one of their top researchers, Howie Schwab. Players competed against one another, and in the grand prize round, they had to go head-to-head with Schwab. The contestants rarely won…

For years, there’s been discussion about the advantages of a 4-day work week. It was something that Bernie Sanders campaigned on when he ran for President in 2020. Since the pandemic, more companies have tried it, but the jury is still determining whether it will ever become the norm. But this week, an Indiana school district announced that one of their elementary schools will try a 4-day school week beginning next year. It will join a small group of schools in Missouri and Utah that are also trying this out…

I’ve got a craving for pancakes, but I might have waffles instead. While I prefer pancakes, I have a Waffle House down the street and may settle for that. There are other places I can go to get pancakes, but they’re further away, and their pancakes just aren’t that good. While I like Waffle House, eating waffles isn’t the same as eating pancakes. I understand why they don’t have them, but I wish they did. Sure, there are other things I could eat, but when you have a craving, nothing else will do…

I’ve got a few household projects that I’ve been putting off. So, it’s time to visit the hardware store and get them done. Hopefully, they won’t be too difficult. I used to love those honey-do chores. But there’s a big difference between doing them when you own versus when you rent. They’re small projects, so they shouldn’t be too involved. I used to be able to spend hours at the hardware store because I could always find something to set aside for future projects. But lately, I want to get in and get out…

I love technology, and usually, I’m an early adopter. But when it comes to my phone, I hate buying a new one. Some people always want the latest and greatest iPhone or Android. But I like to hold on to mine as long as I can. I still use an iPhone 7, but I know I must upgrade soon. The iPhone 7 came out in 2016, so it’s technically outdated as of January. That means it will still get security updates but little else. Every day, I find another app I can no longer use because my phone is too old…

For decades, the International Space Station has been orbiting the Earth. It’s been up there so long that many people don’t even think about it. But what would you do if something broke off the space station and fell back to Earth? The odds of that happening are close to impossible. But it has happened recently. Some space junk discarded back in 2021 fell to Earth last week and came through the roof of someone’s house in Naples, FL. NASA was shocked. They thought it would burn up upon re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere…

For as long as I can remember, people have discussed the difference in the salaries of men and women doing the same job. While strides are being made, for many, more is needed. Will wage equality ever happen in our lifetime? I don't know. The topic has been a big part of the news cycle for the last few days.

Attention to detail is a vital skill set to possess and master. You have to continually work at it even if you're good. And if details aren't your strength, you need to surround yourself with people who can take care of it for you. Over the last couple of days, I've witnessed examples, both good and bad. CBS-TV over the weekend proved what happens when you don't pay attention. Then, on Monday night, the WNBA showed the upside of paying attention.

I talked about this yesterday on my Road Warrior video blog. My wife and I came very close to being in a major auto accident over the weekend. A big panel van was sitting on the side of the road and decided to pull a U-turn directly in front of us. The driver obviously wasn't paying attention, and it almost ended poorly. Somehow, I missed hitting the side of that van head-on. I'm unsure how close it was, but we missed hitting him by an inch, not inches. We're fortunate!

Whenever I see a TV commercial for Hamburger Helper, it takes me back to a particular time in my life. It transports me back to the 1980s when I was a baby radio DJ. I didn't make much money, so I often looked for a meal that could serve as dinner and then had some leftovers that would be lunch the next day. Hamburger Helper was something that fit the bill. It's not something I've had in years, but every time I think about it, it makes me smile.

Recently, I've seen a lot of stories about people getting rich with their side hustle. It reminds me of the days when I started what you could consider my side hustle. When I started my company in the early 2000s, it was something to supplement my radio work.

In recent years, a phone call to customer service has been something that many of us dread. It doesn't matter what the product is; we all find that it's a frustrating experience. It's never been fun, but it's gotten more frustrating in recent years because most call centers aren't here in the U.S. For many, 'Bob" in customer service isn't telling us his real name.

While I understand the economics of sports, I honestly wonder why each league tries to keep extending the length of their schedule. Sure, more games mean more chances to make money.

For the last few years, Amazon has been experimenting with what they called just walk out technology.

I watched a lot of this year's NCAA Basketball Tournament. I've probably watched more men's and women's games than in recent years combined. And while the rules, for the most part, are the same as when I played back in high school, it's not the same game. Today, the referees aren't as critical to most violations.

I've always been a big fan of team uniforms in nearly every sport. I love it when they make updates, big or small. But I've noticed something in recent years. Even though technology has made them more comfortable for the player, they look cheap. Old uniforms used to have embroidered logos, lettering, and numbers. Now, everything is screen-printed on the jersey. It isn't a big deal for most people, but it bothers me. I wonder if there's a way to make them look better...

Something strange happened yesterday, and I can't understand what happened. I woke up to my alarm around 6:15, or I thought I did. As I started getting up and getting ready for work, I grabbed my phone, which lit up. As I looked down, I noticed the screen said 2:55. It was a false alarm. Or, in reality, something I must have dreamt. It all seemed so real. Was I overly tired? Perhaps I was stressed. Fortunately, I was able to go back to bed and sleep until the real 6:15...Click Here To SubscribeApple PodcastsSpotifyAmazon MusicGoogle PodcastsTuneIniHeartRadioPandoraDeezerBlubrryBullhornCastBoxCastrofyyd.deGaanaiVooxListen NotesmyTuner RadioOvercastOwlTailPlayer.fmPocketCastsPodbayPodbeanPodcast AddictPodcast IndexPodcast RepublicPodchaserPodfanPodtailRadio PublicRadio.comReason.fmRSSRadioVurblWe.foYandex jQuery(document).ready(function($) { 'use strict';$('#podcast-subscribe-button-13292 .podcast-subscribe-button.modal-662d058a09c02').on("click", function() {$("#secondline-psb-subs-modal.modal-662d058a09c02.modal.secondline-modal-662d058a09c02").modal({fadeDuration: 250,closeText: '',});return false;}); });
Nashville is in the national news again, and not for something in which to be proud. The story involves a Missouri college student who was in town on a fraternity trip, had too much to drink, and later disappeared. He got kicked out of one of the popular Broadway bars for drunkenness. Was he overserved? That's something people have debated for the last couple of weeks.

For many people, choosing a restaurant comes down to a couple of factors. What type of food do you want, and do they serve Coke or Pepsi? My wife and I are long-time Coca-Cola drinkers, so the beverage served is often a key. Restaurants usually sign long-term deals with one of the two beverage brands. So it was big news when three fast-food chains announced they were changing beverage providers this week.

Doctors nationwide are worried about a growing measles outbreak. For the most part, measles had been eliminated thanks to the vaccine created in the early 1960s. But because of the rise in recent years of the anti-vax movement, many children haven't been getting the necessary shots. And it looks like the disease is making a comeback.

If there's one trait many Americans share today, it's that we're sleep-deprived. The CDC says we need more rest if we get less than 7 hours of sleep per night. When looking at the problem nationwide, more than 30% of Americans suffer nightly. And in some states, it's worse than others.

If you've watched prime-time television over the last few weeks, you may have felt the need to check the calendar once or twice. Some shows aired their Halloween episodes.

For the longest time, we've heard that 100 people move to Nashville daily. And that means construction to house those newcomers is non-stop. New apartments, condos, and houses are hitting the market every month. Each day on my way to work, I pass by a new apartment complex that should be opening very soon.

You hear people often joke about how Walmart shoppers dress. They wear pajamas and slippers or ill-fitting sweatpants when they shop. But one thing I've noticed about the new Nashville is that you rarely see people wearing sweats. For women, the latest choice is yoga pants, and for men, track pants or a full tracksuit. I'm guilty of that. Outside of the office, I live in my tracksuits. And from watching people walk down the street here in town, I see that yoga pants are everywhere.

Our obsession with the British royal family is becoming an unhealthy obsession.

She used an app to do some photo editing on a picture she snapped with her children.

Even though I did very well in my English and grammar classes during my school years, I still struggle with one thing. When is it proper to use a hyphen? Now, let's distinguish the hyphen and the dash. The dash separates two words, but there's space on both sides of the punctuation mark. Yesterday's Mason Minute was the perfect example of when to use a hyphen. The words last minute sometimes need a hyphen, while other times it doesn't. It's all about how you use it in a sentence.

Many industries prefer to use a dynamic pricing model. The airline and hotel industries are great examples. But have you ever heard of a fast food restaurant using this surge pricing system? Well, if you haven't, you'd better get ready. Wendy's announced that it will try this new pricing system starting in 2025. Their new CEO is hoping that dynamic pricing will improve their profitability.

Everyone knows that Nashville has been called Music City USA for eons. Everywhere you turn, there's music, and not just of the country variety. If you had the time, you could watch concerts nightly. It hasn't always been that way. Things started changing when they revitalized the Lower Broadway area. But enjoying shows every night may be the dream of someone visiting.

Two times each year, in January and July, the state of Tennessee enacts the laws passed by the legislature. Almost five years ago, the state passed a law to help reduce distracted driving. The Tennessee Hands-Free Law made it illegal to drive while holding a cell phone in your hand. On the surface, it's relatively straightforward and a good idea. But many are now calling it a worthless law. That's because enforcement is rare.

In the world of marketing, few details get left to chance. When marketing in the entertainment world, the cover art on a video or piece of music matters. Once they release a project to the public, the artwork is the primary way for everyone to connect visually.

One of the fastest-growing business sectors in cities across America is the automated car wash. No one has the time or desire to do it by hand anymore. But some cities are starting to say 'NO' to developers. Automated car washes take up a lot of space and employ few people.

No matter how you look at life today, no one is happy with the state of politics. Many think they have the answer that will disrupt the current extreme climate. Here in Tennessee, there's talk of changing the process of how you run for office. I doubt it will ever be discussed, but it's an exciting idea. Basically, it says you can't run for a new political position if you're currently in office. You can't jump from job to job.

Password sharing is nothing new. It's been around as long as the internet. But as many subscription sites look for ways to increase revenues in recent years, they've started cracking down. Netflix made a big deal about it a little over a year ago. Since they began to issue warnings, subscription numbers have increased. Hulu just announced that they were going to do the same thing.

We were discussing snacks the other day and got into a discussion about graham crackers. For most people, they're just something you combine with chocolate and marshmallows to make s'mores. They're often used to make the crust for pies and cheesecakes. When I was younger, we always seemed to have a box in the pantry. They were a great snack when you were feeling under the weather.

Scrolling through YouTube the other night, I found a clip from last week's Saturday Night Live. I've been watching SNL since it debuted in 1975. I haven't missed many episodes through the years. I realize that young people today no longer watch the show each Saturday night. They catch the clips online. And what amazes me is that the skits I think are funniest usually end up with the most views online.

The state legislature here in Tennessee has been in the news a lot over the last few months. Sadly, it's not for the good things that they're doing.

One of the downsides of working near downtown Nashville is the daily sounds of construction. They've been working on a 16-story building next door to our office for nearly a year. But yesterday, the banging and clanging we heard all day went silent. The city had issued a stop work order for the latest Nashville high-rise. The forced stoppage was the result of an accident the day before. Fortunately, no one was injured, but one lane of a city street had collapsed.

When heading to work the other day, I saw one of the overhead highway signs bearing the message 'Rough Pavement Possible.' I didn't think anything of it and kept driving. Then, a few miles down the road, another sign had that same message. At that point, it struck me that they meant to watch out for potholes.

Through the years, I haven't thought much about retirement. I should have planned ahead, but I could never imagine calling it a day. I have some friends who started planning back when they were in their 20s. Most people stay where they've been living, but experts say you may need to move to get the most out of your golden years.

The stage is set for this year's Super Bowl. The Kansas City Chiefs will face the San Francisco 49ers. Usually, people would discuss whether the Chiefs can win back-to-back titles. But this year, many will be more concerned with how much screen time Taylor Swift will get during the game. Taylor and her fans, the Swifties, have been the talk of the season.

Like many cities, Nashville has a pothole problem. And because of our recent snow and ice storms, followed by a 50-degree warm-up, the roads have become dangerous. When you combine them with another road hazard here in Tennessee, the lack of working streetlights makes driving challenging. Dodging potholes at night around town is impossible.

Back in the day, one of the most popular lunches for kids was Sloppy Joes. It was almost as popular in the school cafeteria as that square they used to serve. And when Manwich hit the grocery store shelves, they became even more popular. I feel they're less popular with kids today. I preferred the Maid-Rite or loose meat sandwich more than Sloppy Joes.

I've been driving for a long time. And much about how we travel by car has changed over the years. We used to carry paper maps and now have that information on our phones. Until a few years ago, the radio was the only way to learn about traffic accidents. But now we have phone apps and electronic overhead signs to help us avoid trouble spots.

It doesn't often happen, maybe every few years, but Nashville got walloped with a big winter storm this week. It's nothing like the weather they get in places like Buffalo, but the 8 inches of snow we got this week nearly shut the town down. Then, two days after the snow, we were hit with a day of freezing rain. That means most people haven't left the house for days. Years ago, being cooped up in my house would make me stir crazy.

I was scrolling through my news feed the other day when I saw a headline that made me pause: Revealed: The Happiest State in the US. Of course, I had to find the answer, but first, I tried to guess the answer. The happiest state had to be somewhere warm—perhaps Hawaii, California, or Florida. And without looking, I knew they would also reveal the least happy state. Would it be Mississippi, Alabama, or perhaps New York? The answers to both questions might surprise you.

Traffic stops are part of the daily routine for many law enforcement officers. And most patrolmen often start the same way. They ask you for your license and registration and then utter the words; do you know why I pulled you over? A new law that just took effect in California changed that initial exchange. Beginning January 1st, officers can no longer ask if you know your infraction. Now, they must tell you why they stopped your vehicle.

When you live in a city the size of Nashville, you don’t expect to worry about seeing any black bears. But the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency tells us we might start seeing them roaming through our neighborhoods. Most black bears in Tennessee live in the eastern part of the state.

Giving up alcohol is a New Year's resolution that many people pledge. In recent years, those who don't necessarily want to give it up permanently have opted to take part in Dry January. It was created in Great Britain only a decade ago. And nearly one-third of Americans who consume alcohol have started participating on an annual basis.

Beer drinking across America is down way down. Last year, beer consumption fell to levels we haven't seen in decades. Some say the Bud Light boycott had something to do with it.

While most teams that move from one city to another, like the Raiders, Rams, and Cardinals, retain their nicknames, the Titans' owners decided to change their name once they moved to Nashville in the late 1990s. But for some reason, the team has embraced their Houston history. That was very apparent yesterday when the team wore uniforms that looked like the old Houston team while playing the new Houston team, the Texans. This behavior seems odd to me...Click Here To SubscribeApple PodcastsSpotifyAmazon MusicGoogle PodcastsTuneIniHeartRadioPandoraDeezerBlubrryBullhornCastBoxCastrofyyd.deGaanaiVooxListen NotesmyTuner RadioOvercastOwlTailPlayer.fmPocketCastsPodbayPodbeanPodcast AddictPodcast IndexPodcast RepublicPodchaserPodfanPodtailRadio PublicRadio.comReason.fmRSSRadioVurblWe.foYandex jQuery(document).ready(function($) { 'use strict';$('#podcast-subscribe-button-13292 .podcast-subscribe-button.modal-662d058a67c87').on("click", function() {$("#secondline-psb-subs-modal.modal-662d058a67c87.modal.secondline-modal-662d058a67c87").modal({fadeDuration: 250,closeText: '',});return false;}); });
The holiday season always reminds me of a catalog that we used to get in the mail. No, it's not the Sears Wish Book or the J.C. Penney Christmas Book. The holidays always remind me of the Fingerhut catalog. The company still exists online but stopped mailing the catalog many years ago. We always looked through the catalog to find gifts for my mother and father. My dad still displays a Christmas gift we bought from Fingerhut in the early 1970s. And I'm not alone.

The other day, I was driving to work and saw my first set of car antlers for this holiday season. I've always wondered why people want to decorate their vehicles for Christmas. Sure, they can be cute, but they're actually just silly. Over the last decade, I would see dozens of cars, if not more, decked out with those antlers and a red nose attached to the grill. But here we are, just ten days away from Christmas, and I've only seen that one set.

Last weekend, a couple of Nashville suburbs experienced deadly tornadoes. As the climate changes, our area is dealing with more of these violent storms. In the last four years, tornadoes have caused death and destruction within five miles of my home. We're frequently under tornado warnings here in Middle Tennessee.

The holidays are here; for many like me, it's time for the office holiday party. For most of my life, I dreaded company parties. But my office has adapted the annual party into something that is honestly lots of fun. We don't hold just one big party for everyone; we do things differently. We break our office into smaller groups and have multiple concurrent parties at restaurants around town. Most only have about a dozen people; where we go and who we party with are chosen randomly.

We all have little things that drive us mad, but they may be no big deal to others. We could call them pet peeves, but I don't even know if they matter that much. For me, one of these grievances would be when a couple sitting in a restaurant booth sit side-by-side rather than across from one another.

It was 66 million years ago that dinosaurs last roamed the Earth. And for as long as man has studied their demise, the leading theory surrounding their extinction was an asteroid hitting Earth.

The way we watch television has changed in recent years. These days, we no longer watch TV; we consume it.

Whether traveling over the river and through the woods or just down the street, Thanksgiving travel can be a hassle. The roads aren't just busy; people are impatient.

Drivers have been testing speed limits since they first appeared in the early 1900s. But speeding has become a significant problem in recent years.

Friday, we decided to surprise my sister-in-law and her family by attending the Semi-State playoff game in which two of her sons played. We didn't tell our nephews beforehand because we didn't want to take their minds off their usual game prep. Sadly, they lost, and their season is over.

People have claimed that you have to be pretty to work on television for decades. Since the radio business employs many people who aren't that attractive, there's a running joke that disc jockeys have a face for radio. I never thought my face was ready for television, but it wasn't that bad. But after yesterday, I might have to rethink that. I was out taking pictures and wasn't paying attention to what was right in front of me, and I took a severe fall. I face planted, and tore myself up pretty good.

Last weekend, I realized something when I was getting ready to head out to run some errands. I've been using hairspray for around 50 years. As a preteen, I had long hair and consistently had problems with static electricity. I always tried different brands to find the one with the best hold.

I don't often get nervous. I attribute that to my years tagging along with my father throughout his radio and TV career, followed by my 25+ year media career.

In recent years, there has been much discussion about retailers converting from cashiers to self-checkout. However, this change has frustrated many customers and reduced job opportunities at some stores. But there may be changes at the checkout that reverse these recent trends. Many big box stores and grocers are going back to cashiers. This reversal has nothing to do with consumer complaints. It's all about retail theft.

Retail theft has been an issue for a long time. During uncertain economic times, crime increases. And while solo shoplifters were once the biggest concern, now stores are fighting organized theft rings.

As I've learned over the years, each state has a different policy when you apply for new license plates. In nearly every state, you're likely to get temporary tags. Some states issue a piece of paper that goes in your back window. For years, here in Tennessee, we got a cardboard license plate that you attached to the back of your car.

I love the theory of televised awards shows. Like many, I watched last night's CMA Awards. And while there were some enjoyable parts, I found most of the show hard to watch. It had nothing to do with who won and lost or how good or bad the performances were. No matter if it's the Emmys, Oscars, People's Choice, CMA's, or any other show.

To keep consumer costs down, manufacturers sometimes change the size of a product so they don't have to raise the price. This year, for Halloween, we got little goodie bags of candy at my office.

When you support someone through good times and bad times, you're there for that person through thick and thin. I thought about that phrase the other day and got quite a chuckle. When we're talking thin times, we're going through bad or rough times. When times are thick, it's referencing good times.

And while the crisis is a problem in cities like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and San Francisco, it's also a challenge for smaller towns. The National Retail Federation just released a study listing the worst markets for retail theft. And while many cities you'd expect to be listed are, there are some fascinating surprises...Click Here To SubscribeApple PodcastsSpotifyAmazon MusicGoogle PodcastsTuneIniHeartRadioPandoraDeezerBlubrryBullhornCastBoxCastrofyyd.deGaanaiVooxListen NotesmyTuner RadioOvercastOwlTailPlayer.fmPocketCastsPodbayPodbeanPodcast AddictPodcast IndexPodcast RepublicPodchaserPodfanPodtailRadio PublicRadio.comReason.fmRSSRadioVurblWe.foYandex jQuery(document).ready(function($) { 'use strict';$('#podcast-subscribe-button-13292 .podcast-subscribe-button.modal-662d058a99508').on("click", function() {$("#secondline-psb-subs-modal.modal-662d058a99508.modal.secondline-modal-662d058a99508").modal({fadeDuration: 250,closeText: '',});return false;}); });
I talked about this subject many years ago here on the Mason Minute. Cursive writing is something they no longer teach in most schools. My wife and I were discussing this just the other day. Because of the computer and tools like email and text messaging, cursive writing seems obsolete. Back in my school days, very few males took typing classes. Now, thanks to technology, everyone knows how to type soon after they learn to spell. But while much of the talk is about not learning to write in cursive, I wonder, can young people read something written in cursive? That's a big question...Click Here To SubscribeApple PodcastsSpotifyAmazon MusicGoogle PodcastsTuneIniHeartRadioPandoraDeezerBlubrryBullhornCastBoxCastrofyyd.deGaanaiVooxListen NotesmyTuner RadioOvercastOwlTailPlayer.fmPocketCastsPodbayPodbeanPodcast AddictPodcast IndexPodcast RepublicPodchaserPodfanPodtailRadio PublicRadio.comReason.fmRSSRadioVurblWe.foYandex jQuery(document).ready(function($) { 'use strict';$('#podcast-subscribe-button-13292 .podcast-subscribe-button.modal-662d058a9a2f6').on("click", function() {$("#secondline-psb-subs-modal.modal-662d058a9a2f6.modal.secondline-modal-662d058a9a2f6").modal({fadeDuration: 250,closeText: '',});return false;}); });
For both the NHL and NBA, the new season is underway. The NHL hit the ice about two weeks ago, while the NBA hit the court on Tuesday. I've never understood why both sports begin playing in October within just a few days of one another. I realize they're both indoor sports, but by starting their season in October, they fight football and the World Series for awareness.

Many know about the McDonald's spilled coffee lawsuit from the early 1990s. It's a fascinating story and cost the fast-food giant much more than was requested.

Nearly everywhere you go in Nashville, you pay to park. Sure, many malls and shopping centers offer free parking, but it's a matter of time before that changes. Parking garages and pay lots have been around for a long time, but now they are everywhere. Many don't even have meters or a machine that spits out a ticket you place on your dashboard. Now, many lots are automated and use license plate readers. It's a great system when it works.

Over the weekend, Nashville made the national news again. The estranged son of Nashville's Chief of Police shot two officers in the nearby suburb of La Vergne. There's no doubt that the shooting was newsworthy. But something that seemed odd to me was how many stories focused on the relationship, or lack thereof, between the chief and his son.

I've long been fascinated with nostalgia. It comes in waves. Back in the mid to late eighties, America yearned for the 1950s. That's how we got American Graffiti, Happy Days, and Grease. Now, we seem to be focusing on bringing back the Nineties. Last year, we had the Friends reunion. Last week, the reboot for Frasier debuted. And there's even been talk about bringing back Seinfeld. Does that mean we'll soon yearn for things that happened in the early 2000s? This fascination may be generational.

In today's society, we throw out the term visionary randomly. Is there a criteria for anointing someone with this lofty title? Can you apply it to yourself? Don't get me wrong; I'm not trying to say that about myself. The other day, on TV, someone claimed they were a visionary. Can you even say that about yourself?

I always thought that LOL and OMG were acronyms. But I recently found out that they are considered initialisms. Most of us now use LOL when we're sending a text message or email.

Trends in apparel are constantly changing. I just learned that shackets for men were in style this year.

I had a couple of those back in my younger days, but shackets were new to me. From what I read, they've been around for hundreds of years.

The television and motion picture writers are back on the job. But in many cases, they don't have anyone to write for since the union representing actors and actresses remains on strike. Artificial intelligence has been a significant factor in the negotiations, but revenue sharing is the primary factor keeping everyone on the picket line. While that doesn't seem like a considerable sticking point to most people, it concerns both sides.

Don't be alarmed, but your smartphone will go off this afternoon. The government is testing the Wireless Emergency Alerts, or WEA for short.

If you live in a city with a lot of traffic, you know timing is everything. You often must fine-tune your morning routine to be as efficient as possible. When driving in rush hour traffic, you know that when you leave for work matters. When hitting the road, there's a window where heading out the door on time means a shorter commute.

For many people, social media has become an addiction. They find it difficult to stop scrolling through their apps, reading, or posting the latest updates. But as we all know, sometimes life gets in the way, and we must get to work. Some have found a new way to put down their phone. They go into monk mode.

Deciding what to have for lunch and dinner has always been challenging. I love many foods but rarely know what I want for either meal. Yesterday, we decided on sub sandwiches for lunch.

Plastic waste is a worldwide issue. Advocates are targeting many companies, tasking them with creating less petroleum-based products and utilizing more recycled plastic.

You could say that I'm a curious person. I'm always curious about the latest trend or when I notice something that might become trendy.

When I was in my teens, my car was a part of my identity. Of course, it isn't easy making a stock VW Beetle seem cool. I switched to a header-style exhaust system to make it sound more impressive.

Life changes, and so does technology. I've been on the earth long enough to see numerous advances in communications. Growing up, we had the phone on the wall with the long cord. When it rang, you answered. Then, the answering machine became a way to avoid talking to people. The device was gone a decade later, and voicemail handled the task electronically.

But, while stereotyping can be harmful in the real world, there is a place where stereotypes are welcome.

I consume a lot of media. Radio, TV, podcasts, streaming video, audio, you name it, I'm plugged in all the time. And one thing I've noticed with much of this content is that it's often predictable.

Has decorating for Halloween become a competition? When I was growing up, most people just craved a jack-o-lantern and perhaps stuck a candle inside.

We all have quirks. Some of them even turn into pet peeves. As I drove to work the other day, I realized that I often consumed myself with spacing. While driving, I obsess over the space between cars as they go down the road. And the spacing between vehicles at a stoplight will often have me muttering under my breath. Standing in line at a store, people need to step up or even step back and leave my personal space. I never realized how much I ponder this topic...
As a plus-sized man, I do my best to look presentable as often as possible. I never want someone to look at me and think there goes a fat slob. And, most of the time, that works well.

Then, a few years later, they shrank again to 48 ounces. Prices didn't drop either; they remained the same or often increased.

I learned something new yesterday. Nashville has ten sister cities across the world. Every town I've lived in has a cultural alliance with a city in some foreign country.

Running my own business for nearly 20 years, I learned many things. One of the biggest lessons was knowing when to pivot. They may not teach that in business classes, but it was an important lesson. I adjusted the focus of my business a few times through the years, and it worked well. But I also missed a few chances to change direction and paid the price. Many social media sites also feel the need to change direction. Sometimes, it works, and other times... #kevinmason #masonminute #themasonminute #podcast #podcasts #podcasting #audioburst #commentary #socialmedia
I'm not sure how long it's been, but the other day, we broke down and bought some new furniture. We picked up a new couch and recliner.

Insurance companies are beginning to panic. They feel climate change is causing more natural disasters, meaning they must pay on homeowner claims. Over the last few years, there have been so many major hurricanes in Florida that insurance companies have canceled policies and have stopped issuing new ones. Their lack of desire to payout proves there has always been a flaw in how the insurance business operates. They love taking your money but hate giving it back to you when you use the service you purchased from them...

Today is Labor Day, and I'm somewhat confused. What is Labor Day anymore? The government created the holiday to honor our blue-collar workers, those who labored. It's supposed to be a day where we pay tribute to those who, as Donna Summer would say, work hard for the money. But we don't live in a country that's focused on labor. Many jobs like that have moved to countries like Japan, China, or Mexico. I don't want to lose a day off, but we may have to revisit what the day represents...

It's human nature to be curious. But why are we so fascinated with accidents on the highway? We encountered some rubberneckers last night as we were heading home from dinner. There was a truck on fire across the road. So naturally, everyone had to stop to look. It was causing a massive traffic jam for those of us on the other side of the road.

Throughout our lifetime, we're encouraged to hide our feelings. Showing emotion can be dangerous. But I know one place where expressing yourself is encouraged: the Little League World Series. They just wrapped up this year's tournament in Williamsport, PA. It's one of my favorite sporting events to watch every year. Most of these kids show raw emotion every time they take the field. You feel the joy they experience when they make a great place. You also feel the excruciating pain they're in when they lose. That makes the LLWS such a compelling thing to watch.

I noticed something strange the last few weeks. I've seen a lot of dead and smelly skunks in my travels. August can't be skunk season. Now it's not like I keep track of these things, but I usually notice the smell of dead skunks in the spring and fall. Spring is mating season for most wild animals, so they're generally very active.

It's silly to say that we live in interesting times, but it honestly seems that way. In the 1980 and 90s, many aspired to be yuppies. They lived by the adage that Gordon Gekko preached in the movie 'Wall Street'; greed is good.

And now that I think about it, it's not something you see on many restaurant menus. I didn't realize how much the culinary world has changed...

Since the pandemic, many people have been researching work habits and focusing on productivity. Many employees prefer working from home, while companies want everyone back in the office. Recent research from Texas A&M has been tracking work habits and determining when we make the most errors. Can you guess the time each day when the most errors occur? They also studied errors by day of the week. Their findings will be no surprise to anyone...

Recently there's been a lot of talk about our First Amendment rights. Sure, some is political theatre, but it also plays in our daily lives. In my younger days, I learned a valuable lesson regarding free speech. It might be free, but you must accept the consequences if an authority figure takes issue with your words. While we, by law, have the right to say what we want, we also need to be prepared if those words are offensive...

This time of year, people start talking about college football. The preseason rankings are out, but that's not the hot topic. Many are discussing the changes in many of the college football conferences. The Big 12, Big 10, and SEC will add teams over the next few years. The Pac-12 is shrinking to four members.

It's been the hottest summer for many cities across America. And whether it can be considered a heatwave or even climate change, large cities struggle because of the lack of green space.

Trees play an essential part in our lives. They provide oxygen, wood, paper, food, and much more. But in our neighborhoods, trees can also be a nuisance. Sure, I know they provide shade and help cool our cities, but in some communities like Nashville, they also cause many problems. Because our soil is primarily clay, shale, and limestone, our trees don't often have the best root system. So, when storms hit, we often have problems...

In recent years, improving our infrastructure has been the focus of many national and local elections. Roads have been a large part of the discussion. Most places have just patched potholes rather than taking the time and expense of paving roads. A few weeks ago, they started working on the road that leads into my neighborhood. They milled everything, and now we're waiting for the paving crew to complete the job. Naturally, the road is now worse than ever before...

In Nashville, it's time to vote once again. Early voting started yesterday for the election that will officially happen on August 3rd. While the mayoral race has many people running, it's easy to learn about each candidate. But we're also voting for city council candidates, and it's almost impossible to find out about either candidate in my district. Neither of them has a website. And that's very frustrating for those of us who honestly care...

To this day, I'm amazed whenever I see deer within the city limits of a big city like Nashville. I often see deer on my way home throughout the year. You can find white-tailed deer throughout much of the US. From a distance, they seem harmless, but they're now causing a problem in many parts of the country.

I can't remember the first time I heard someone utter the phrase, if it's not one thing, it's another. But it's something that I've said hundreds if not thousands of times through the years. Recently I've heard many people saying it too. Sometimes it feels like you can't catch a break. If there's an upside, you're not in this alone. Many of us are feeling the same thing.

When people talk about malaria, we think about life in third-world countries. But no more. Over the last few weeks, Florida and Texas have reported cases.

Every one of us knows that everywhere we turn, there are man-made chemicals. They're in our food, they're in our cookware, and they're in our tap water. Many of them are forever chemicals or PFAs, and recent studies have found that they're in 45% of the tap water in the U.S. We're still learning what all of these chemicals can do to our bodies. We already know they can cause cancer and obesity, and that's only the beginning... #kevinmason #masonminute #themasonminute #podcast #podcasts #podcasting #audioburst #commentary #socialmedia
My wife came home from the grocery store recently; with a half gallon of vanilla ice cream and a six-pack of root beer. She was in the mood for a root beer float. I've enjoyed making ice cream floats since I was a kid. Sometimes I use Coke; other times, it's orange or grape soda; the choices are limitless. Perhaps we should consider it to be the best summertime treat. With both ice cream and soda, you can't go wrong...

This weather is tearing me up! We've had numerous storms, but that's not the biggest issue. It's too hot. Over the last week, the world has been experiencing the hottest average daily temperatures. We've been in the upper 90s nearly every day. Now I admit, I'm not built for this hot weather. Perhaps it's my age, my size, or I've just gotten soft.

An East Coast grocery store chain is testing a new smart shopping cart. It's similar to the technology used by Amazon in their Go stores a couple of years ago. A small iPad-type device is attached to the cart handle and tallies every item you put into the cart. Many feel this is the future of grocery shopping, but there has been some backlash.

There's strength in numbers; that's what they've often told us. And the other night, I found out that was true in a new way. For the longest time, I thought a service outage and a service interruption were the same thing. My internet provider informed me that there was a difference. If one or two people in the neighborhood have no service, it's just an interruption. If three or more houses have no internet, it's now considered an outage and means quicker service restoration...

I've noticed more cars and trucks here in Tennessee with tinted windows. People use the excuse that it helps keep the vehicle cooler, but I'm betting it has more to do with not wanting people to look inside. For years, people usually just darkened the driver and passenger side windows. But now, I see more cars on the road with tinted rear windows, and that's a traffic hazard. If I can't see around or through a vehicle, there's a greater accident probability. And looking at my latest insurance bill, we have a problem with accidents...

I've never understood why radio stations feel the need to do special programs over the holidays. They never sound as good as regular programming. And this has been going on for decades. And I'm not just talking about AM and FM radio. Satellite radio is guilty too.

Years ago, my father warned me that there would come a day when I would hate shaving. And, of course, he was correct. Like most men, I hated shaving soon after I needed to do it daily. To this day, I shave as little as possible, many once or twice a week. My father, who's in his 80s, still shaves a few times a week. But his primary issue is finding razor blades to fit his razor. He's been using the same one since the 1970s...

For decades, hot dog lovers have argued whether it's okay to put ketchup on a hot dog. I'm a purist who says ketchup has no business near that bun.

For many, air conditioning was once a luxury that's become a necessity. I grew up in a house without AC, but today couldn't imagine living without it. But as much as it seems commonplace, some still don't have access. Recently, UPS drivers threatened to strike because their vehicles still don't have air conditioning. I can't imagine driving around in a big brown metal box on wheels all summer without having it...

Today is Juneteenth, a day observed as a federal holiday for the last couple of years. Though many states still choose not to make it a state-sanctioned holiday. In our current politically-charged climate, many people take issue with the celebration. Yet, if I were a betting man, I know that few people would refuse the paid day off if they fail to acknowledge this holiday should exist...

Throughout the years, I've spent a lot of time in stores like The Home Depot and Lowes, looking for numerous lawn tools. We've spent time looking for everything from lawn movers to string trimmers and everything in between. Yesterday, we had to find a simple leaf rake.

McDonald's is once again featuring some of their beloved advertising characters. Recently we discussed the return of the Hamburglar.

Now don't get your hopes up. We're not announcing that this is the final episode of The Mason Minute podcast. But we are talking about false promises.

Over the last few years, gas prices have fluctuated wildly. COVID-19 played a big part, but lately, it's all about making up those lost profits. Many companies are trying to reduce oil production to inflate the prices of gas and heating oil. That means the consumer is at their mercy. So why does the government keep allowing this?

Prices are rising for everything in our lives. And while I understand cost increases to a point, I get the sense that many companies are simply being greedy. They raise prices because they can get away with it. But the worst part about this game is the hidden costs. It's one thing for a business to tell you why they have to pass along new increases, but when they try to slide in numerous new fees, they lose your trust and your business. Honesty is no longer the best policy. And that's sad...

By now, I'm sure you've seen the pictures of all the file boxes former President Trump had taken to Mar-a-Lago. Like many, I was shocked when I saw the images of his papers stored in the bathroom and on a ballroom stage. But I'm taken aback for a different reason.

We all have things we're passionate about. But throughout our life, those passions can change. For me, sports is a great example. When I was much younger, sports consumed my life, I was a great player, but that didn't stop me from playing. When it comes to watching them, I lost interest too. I often wonder why.

For many years, closed caption services for television have aided those with hearing loss.

The government finally came together last week and passed debt ceiling legislation so we won't default on our bills. Some experts all along said we had nothing to worry about. Neither political party wants to be the one at fault for the legislation not passing. It was all political theater. Each side wanted to come out looking like the winner, and that's what happened.

Every day when I head home from work, I pass by a water slide that's part of the Nashville Metro Parks Department. It's only open from Memorial to Labor Day, but kids are there enjoying the slides unless it's raining. It isn't one of those giant water parks, but the kids look to enjoy it.

If you ask someone their favorite day of the year, many would say their birthday, wedding anniversary, or a holiday like Christmas or Thanksgiving. I know I’ve said it before, but my favorite day is always the Sunday before Memorial Day. Today I’ll enjoy the Indy 500 and Coke 600 on TV and do little else. I know it’s silly, but watching or listening to these two races brings me great joy. And it has for a long time…

Most workplaces are somewhat similar, especially when it involves office small-talk. In most workplaces, you’re only close to a few people. But since there are many people in the office you only know casually, it can sometimes be challenging to carry on a conversation.

While many business owners want to turn back the clock to a pre-covid world, workers have another opinion. A recent study by the Washington Post proves there’s still a big divide in the workforce.

If you’ve ever watched any cops and robbers storylines on TV or in the movies, you’ve likely seen bank robbers stealing from safe deposit boxes. Soon, they may be a thing of the past. Many financial institutions have done away with them. And most banks, when they build new branches, don’t include them. The reason for this change makes sense, but many people are still very disappointed…

I viewed the world from a marketing perspective long before I knew what marketing was. Media and advertising hype are things I started noticing even at a young age. So, at this point in my life, I usually spot a publicity stunt from a mile away. In the last week, you might have heard that Oscar Mayer will no longer drive their Wienermobiles across the USA. From now on, they’re going to be called Frankmobiles. I’m sure you know what I think about this…

In today’s world, if people or companies can’t get what they want, they’re quick to hire a lawyer. Sometimes a lawsuit makes sense. But, then, often, it seems like it’s just a test of endurance. Two fast food giants are going to court over the phrase; Taco Tuesday. Taco John has used the term for over 40 years and has owned the trademark since the late 1980s. Taco Bell wants a judge to rescind the mark and allow anyone to use it…

As we get older, many people accuse us of being stuck in the past. Sometimes, it’s true; we get sentimental remembering the good ole days. Like many baby boomers, I grew up on AM radio. And, of course, working in the business, I had the good fortune to work at a few legendary stations. Sadly, with the advancement of electric vehicles, some say the end is near. I hope not…

Like most, music has always played an integral part in my life. Some of my earliest memories involve music. It likely explains why my career path. Becoming a professional singer was never an option.

One of the many sweet treats I enjoyed when I was young was Rice Krispie Treats. On the back of the box, you could always find the recipe. Or was it on the side?

Automakers aren’t happy with the money they’re making these days. Even though monthly new car payments average over $700, they’re looking for new ways to make money. BMW was the first to start offering features on demand. It hasn’t rolled out in the US yet, but more car makers want you to subscribe to new add-ons. And even after the car payments are over, you’ll still pay them monthly…

Lately, there's been a lot of talk about mental health, but very little seems to get done. Any time there is gun violence, mental health comes into play. And for some people, it's a big issue.

The world of labor relations has changed a lot throughout my lifetime. When I was much younger, the news frequently included stories where factory workers in many industries went on strike. But something has changed, and labor unions rarely make the news. Maybe that's on purpose. Or perhaps the labor unions aren't as prominent as they used to be.

One of the ways that businesses got customers to switch to online shopping was by offering free shipping. Amazon made it a feature of their Prime membership.

When people take a moment to pause and reflect on their life, they often point to one event where everything changed. But if we think about it, one event is actually many events or moments strung together. We all want to understand life, so we usually simplify everything. But the older I get, the more I realize everything we do is part of something big. And that’s pretty heavy if you think about it…

When the NFL’s Houston Oilers moved to Tennessee in the late 1990s, one of their demands was a first-class stadium. They’d been playing in the famed Astrodome, which wasn’t good enough. They even wrote a clause into their contract to ensure their stadium was always among the best. It took less than 25 years for ownership to invoke that clause, and this week the state and local government agreed to build a new stadium. Fans may be excited, but many others are not…

Perhaps it's my imagination, but I've noticed that we've been dealing with more bugs every year. I'm not worried about ants, wasps, bees, or hornets; you expect those. But for some reason, we're seeing more gnats, June bugs, and stink bugs here in Tennessee. In just the last couple of weeks, we've had to trap 3 or 4 stink bugs in our house and return them to the outdoors. Is this a Nashville problem; or an issue everywhere? Something has changed...

Recently I’ve started seeing articles online telling us we should never use a public cell phone charging station. You often see them in airports, train stations, hotels, and malls. While they haven’t alerted us to extreme breaches, authorities warn us to beware of juice jacking. Whenever we try to charge our phone using a USB cable, there’s a chance for someone to access our phone data…

We live in a very divided world. Every day we hear news of more boycotts and protests. Fans of the Oakland A’s are angry too. They’re tired of a team owner who won’t spend the money to put a winner on the field. The owners claim they need a new stadium to help them make money and improve player pay. So fans have suggested a unique way to express their displeasure. They’re going to stage a reverse boycott. Sound strange, but it’s true…

The government has announced that they want to increase the number of people who drive electric vehicles. Currently, only 10% of the cars and trucks on the road are electric. The EPA would like to see that number quickly grow. Much more needs to happen to make more people consider going green. Even though they're not the perfect solution, perhaps hybrid vehicles can help get us to that number...

If you’re one of the millions of allergy sufferers across the US, you’ve likely heard about one of the most popular home remedies for reducing your allergies. Some say a spoonful of local honey each morning will help reduce your symptoms. I’ve tried it a few times throughout the years and didn’t find it helps me. Doctors will only say that this home remedy is complicated. But I know some people who swear by it…

One of the most iconic symbols of advertising and marketing here in America is the Oscar Mayer Wienermoble. It’s been around since the 1930s. The other night, my wife and I saw the Wienermobile rolling through town while we ran errands. I’ve always loved that ‘hot dog on wheels’; and get excited whenever I see it…

Domino’s has been running a commercial lately discussing how disappointing it is to order fries only to have them arrive soggy. Their solution to this problem is loaded, tots. Like many people, I love tater tots, but two things bother me about this solution. First, if you want to eat french fries, you want fries. And second, are tater tots something you’d ever eat with pizza? That never enters my mind…

Over the last couple of decades, Amazon has become one of the biggest online retailers in the world. And one of the best parts about shopping on the site is that they offer free returns. You don’t even have to put your item back in the box. Just take them back to Kohl’s, Whole Foods, or the UPS Store, drop them off, and you’re all set. Sadly, it looks like Amazon is about to make a minor change to that free return policy…

Major League Baseball has been struggling for years. The game that we called America’s pastime has become less relevant. Young people say it’s too long and it’s boring. So the MLB has been making changes. This year, they hope to shorten the games and increase scoring. Two weeks into the season, the new changes are working. But there’s one problem they didn’t think of. Shorter game times mean fewer beer sales. And we all know that’s where the real money gets made…

A once proud American company may be shutting down thanks to a pending bankruptcy. Tupperware, the legendary company famous for its plastic storage systems, may have burped its last lid. For decades, people attended home parties to buy their kitchen containers. And that may be part of the reason they have to say goodbye…

For many Baby Boomers, Mad Magazine played a significant role in their life. It’s where many of us first learned about satire and politics. One of the primary components of the magazine, Al Jaffee, passed away the other day. He was 102. Jaffee is best known for creating the fold-in on the inside back cover. He also wrote the recurring feature Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions. It’s the end of an era…

Usually, when you greet people on Monday morning, you ask them what they did over the weekend. You might even ask them if they watched the big game. But in our office, we usually ask how are you feeling? Most of us suffer from allergies. And this time of year, many of us are suffering. The weather has been so up and down; at least two or three of us feel rough each day…

For many people, including myself, deviled eggs were always a part of the big Easter meal. It makes sense. Since the eggs we searched for on Easter morning were hard-boiled, we had to consume them quickly. I always thought it was odd the ‘deviled’ eggs were a big part of a church holiday. Of course, some religions have a different name for the church pitch-in favorite. Some call them dressed eggs or stuffed eggs…

If you hadn’t heard anything about it until this week, you probably now know about the upcoming Barbie movie. It’s scheduled to be released in July and will star Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. I had heard that there was a movie in the works, but after seeing the previews, I was left very confused. Is this a movie that targets the audience who plays with the toy? Perhaps it’s a spoof or even a farce…

Some words paint pictures in our minds. One of those words, in my opinion, is cute. But the one thing I’ve always thought is that it paints a unique picture for each one of us. What I visualize when I think cute isn’t the same thing you see. And even though we envision something different, we might agree…

Don’t worry; we aren’t going to discuss the nuances of wine tasting. And we have no intention of debating which is the best beer. We’re talking about an idiom that I’ve heard pop up recently. The phrase drinking from a fire hose has popped up a lot lately. I can’t remember the first time I heard someone say it, but it was years ago. Perhaps it’s making a comeback or becoming part of pop culture…

While Nashville remains one of the fastest-growing cities in America, we’re experiencing many growing pains. We have your typical issues, like traffic congestion. And our crime rate continues to rise at a rapid pace. But we’re also dealing with an issue I haven’t heard about in other cities. We have a street racing problem…

Recently, one of my favorite TV channels changed its name. Decades is now known as Catchy Comedy. Now Decades wasn’t well known, so perhaps that’s why they changed. One of their most popular programs was the classic Ed Sullivan Show. And while the new name doesn’t bother me, I find it rather strange…

Our society is obsessed with billionaires. The fascination with their lives has been growing for years. As a society, the lives of actors, athletes, and musicians have consumed us forever.

I can’t count the hours I spend online every week. I probably spend ten to twelve hours between my client and personal pages on social media. But I also try to make time daily to read the news online. The number of stories varies every day. But I know one day of the year that I try to avoid my feed, if possible, April Fool’s Day. And when it falls on a Saturday like it did this year, it makes searching for news very difficult…

Recently Netflix added a new ten-episode cartoon series called Agent Elvis. And as you’d guess from the title, it stars the man once called the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley. It portrays the cartoon version of Presley as both a famous singer and a secret agent. But the fascinating part about the show…

One of the first things people notice when visiting Nashville is the number of cranes dotting our skyline. Construction continues at a rapid pace. I’m experiencing that firsthand. They’re building another skyscraper next door to our corporate offices. And the construction noise often makes it tough to work.

Recently, bank failures have been in the news. Silicon Valley Bank and Credit Suisse shut their doors when they couldn’t cover some transactions. Most of us don’t understand the nuances of the banking industry, so our first response is to panic. A couple of days ago, Chase Bank had some problems with their website, so naturally, many people thought they might shut down and began withdrawing money. Luckily it was just a minor glitch this time…

Marketing is a process that is constantly evolving. In recent years technology has played an increasing role. Years ago, people would clip coupons to get discounts. Then we were encouraged to carry a loyalty card. Now, everybody wants us to download the app. Most of the time, that’s where I draw the line. If you want to track my purchases, that’s one thing. But with apps, they can track so much more…

Nashville was in the news yesterday. Sadly, for all the wrong reasons. Yesterday there was another mass shooting. It’s our third in less than six years. I’ve talked about my safety concerns as Nashville rapidly grows. And, of course, who can forget the 2020 Christmas morning bombing that destroyed more than a city block in downtown Nashville? We have a big problem…

Last year, the state of Tennessee changed the look of its license plates for the first time in over 15 years. All registered vehicles with the standard design tag had to be updated. The new ones are navy blue with white numbers and letters. They replace the green and white version with black numbers and letters. And while every vehicle needed to be updated, I still see expired plates daily on my drive to the office…

For many sports fans, you can’t enjoy the game without some tasty snack food. For some, something as simple as potato chips will do. But most people want something more substantial. Over the years, chicken wings have gained in popularity. But for folks like me, the problem with chicken wings is hassling with the bones. A few years back, Buffalo Wild Wings offered a solution; boneless wings. Recently they came under fire for their new creation…

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had problems finding the correct cold and flu medication when I’m under the weather. Since no two illnesses are the same, you’ve got to find the right drugs. I hate taking aspirin, so choosing what to take when I have a cold or the flu is tougher. Whatever happened to Vicks Formula 44, the stuff I took as a kid? That cured everything…

Just last week on the podcast, I was talking about celebrity obsession. Recently, I’ve noticed a growing trend in a specific kind of celebrity story. These stories all discuss how fans are concerned about certain celebrities. Stories about Britney Spears always pop up whenever she posts a picture on Instagram. Most of these stories always include fn comments. But she’s not the only star that has people worried…

When I was a youngster in grade school, they taught me that it's always best to work ahead when given the opportunity. Of course, I can procrastinate, but I always try to stay ahead of deadlines. Doing this podcast is a perfect example. While I try to stay topical, I also try to have a few episodes ready to go, just in case. Today is a good example. You never know when you're going to lose your voice. That's when it's best to prepare ahead...

It’s time for breakfast. What do you have today? Pancakes? Waffles? Bacon and eggs? If you’re like most people, you’re probably having cereal. There are hundreds of choices you can make. I read an article the other day that ranked the top sellers. Some I’d expect, and some surprised me…

Looking out my office window, I stare down at a big hole. It used to be a parking lot, but soon it will be a 16-story mixed-use building called Society Nashville. There will be restaurants, shoppers, and condos. And when they finish that one, next year, another multi-million dollar project will get started right next door. When most people think of Nashville, they think of the honky tonks. Locals think of big holes and lots of cranes…

If you’ve listened to even just a few episodes of my podcast, you know I spend a ton of time on the internet. Sure, I post a lot, like a decade’s worth of daily podcasts and weekly video blogs. But I spend most of my time reading, listening, watching, and learning. And the one thing I’ve figured out, everyone has opinions. And for some reason, they think that means they’re now an expert on everything…

We live in a world that’s obsessed with so many things. And I may be exaggerating here, but the biggest obsession is with the lives of celebrities. We need to know everything about them; and what they’re doing at all times. I’ve discussed this before, but I wonder if this madness will ever stop. Actor Bruce Willis has been diagnosed with dementia and wants to be left alone. But we won’t let that happen…

I spend a lot of time on streaming services, both video and audio. And while I love the technology and the convenience, there is one thing they do that drives me mad. The video services like Netflix are the worst offenders. Every month or two, they adjust the artwork displayed for the movies and TV shows. Now it’s only a slight change, but when you watch as much as I do, it can get confusing…

When you spend a lot of time on social media, you start noticing a few things. I’m not sure what to call this, though. Perhaps it’s a humble brag. When men take a picture of their attractive wife or girlfriend, they always say she is beautiful inside and out. But is that really what they mean? I think they’re just trying to brag about how pretty she is without sounding like…

KFC is bringing back a fan favorite to their menu. The Double Down sandwich is returning, but only for a limited time. It was one of their most popular items but disappeared nearly a decade ago. If you want one or more, you’d better act quickly. Now, maybe they’ll bring back one of my favorites…

For years, the Shriner’s Hospital for Children has given free blankets to people who donate monthly. It seems like I’ve been watching those commercials forever. But recently, I’ve noticed other charities also giving blankets to monthly donors. Why blankets? Is there something special about them that causes people to want to donate? I’m all for giving to charity, but a free blanket doesn’t make a difference to me…

Like many people, I’ve spent my time living in apartments. And it doesn’t matter if it’s big or small or how fancy the complex is; there’s one thing they all have; noisy neighbors. It could be loud music, late-night parties, or lots of yelling and screaming; in some ways, all apartments are the same. I thought I’d left that all behind when I bought my first house. But sadly, you can’t avoid noisy neighbors…

My nephew Ray’s basketball season is over. His school lost in the sectionals. I know he’s hurting. It was a tough loss. When you play team sports, there’s always a reason when you lose. You can blame the refs or a teammate, but you also blame yourself. I know that feeling. You feel empty and almost sick to your stomach. This feeling is unlike any other. It’s hard to explain. And I hadn’t felt that in a long time…

Over the years, if you’ve done any indoor home repair, you’ve likely had to work with drywall. There aren’t many homes built in the last 60 years that don’t use it for the interior walls.

We’ve been on the road the last few weekends, and one thought keeps crossing my mind; How did we live without GPS? And now, thanks to our smartphones, we don’t even have to buy a device that costs hundreds of dollars. I started driving before GPS was available to the public, and I remember hassling with maps and asking people for directions. While technology can often be a hassle, I see no downside…

Yesterday on The Mason Minute, I took a trip down memory lane, remembering the old Steak And Ale restaurant. I only ate there a few times in my life. And while I enjoyed the experience, I usually opted for the more budget-friendly steakhouse options like Bonanza or Ponderosa. At one time, each of them fell under the same corporate ownership. One thing I know, each of those restaurants reminds me of much simpler times…

Back in the day, if you wanted to impress a date, you took them to a fancy restaurant like Steak And Ale. They were famous for their prime rib and extensive salad bar. But, like many popular restaurant chains, they were sold one too many times and faded away in the early 2000s. Well, news this week out of Dallas says that Steak And Ale are looking to make a comeback. And they’re getting ready to bring the chain back from the dead…

Over the years, I haven’t paid much attention to high school basketball. I cared when I sat on the bench in high school and even did some play-by-play broadcasts on the radio when I first started my professional career. But until this year, with one of my nephews playing, I finally started paying attention again. And I’ve noticed it doesn’t look like the same sport I played in high school…

My wife and I have been together for a long time. And there’s one strange issue we’ve been dealing with since we started dating. Sometimes, when dining out, the waitress asks if we want separate checks when it’s time to pay. It doesn’t happen every time, but it happens more than my wife would like. I tell my wife it’s because she looks much younger than me. She’s not buying it…

I've always been a thinker, but as I've gotten older, I spend more time being reflective. I spend a lot of time trying to understand the world around me.

While yesterday's celebration of Galentine's Day promotes the bonds of friendship, today is the day that promotes romance, Valentine's Day. And I'm sure if you took a poll of men, it would be considered the most stressful day of the year. While I can be romantic, it's not easy for me or most men to do.

Life for many is busier than ever. There aren't enough hours in the day, so we need to find as many shortcuts as possible. And while this isn't new, many people eat at least one meal a day while multitasking. The folks who bring us Eggo waffles think they've created the perfect option for busy people.

I don't get excited very often, but a couple of days ago, my wife gave me great news. One of my favorite TV shows, At Midnight (or @Midnight as they once styled it), is coming back to late-night television. The show ran on Comedy Central for a few years in the mid-2010s. This time, it's returning to CBS as the replacement for James Corden's Late, Late Show.

Earlier this week, AMC Theatres announced a new pricing plan that has upset many people. Soon they will begin pricing your movie ticket based on where you sit. Want to sit in the middle of the theater, dead center? You'll now pay a premium. Of course, you'll pay the regular price for the seats in the front where you have to crane your neck.

Like many, I love my technology; until I don't. The other night, every so often, I heard a faint chiming sound in my office. I'm sure it came from some electrical equipment, but I have no idea what or where it was.

Many special treats only show up around this time of year. One of my favorites goes by a few different names, but many simply call it chocolate bark. It often combines chocolate and peppermint.

The other day in a team meeting, we tackled a team-building exercise. Our topic was holiday traditions.

Sometimes, the little things in life bother us much more than our real problems. I don't know why I feel this way, but every time I see the words 'Go Inside For Receipt' on a gas pump display screen, I get upset. I know it's not a big deal.

How old is too old? I'm not talking about people here; this is about pop culture. Yesterday in a meeting one of our managers mentioned an old movie. Some staffers looked puzzled, so the manager apologized for his outdated reference. I realize, in our office, we have people aged 20 to 70.

Recently I've had a few friends and co-workers announce that they were retiring in the coming months.

Haribo, the company that makes the famed gummy bears, is in the news, and this has nothing to do with their Goldbears. The story involves a big check and a lack of gratitude. And it's also making people ask what's the point of being a good Samaritan. And as we all know, there are two sides to every story...

I'm baffled by a new fast food trend. Many restaurants are now adding onion straws to their burgers or sandwiches. I'm not the biggest fan of onions, but for the most part, the fried version is always lacking. If I remember correctly, both Sonic and Arby's have recently featured sandwiches with onion straws. And I think other companies are doing the same...

Taco Bell lovers are celebrating this week. The long beloved Enchirito is back on the menu for a limited time. If you've missed their one-of-a-kind menu item, you have until November 30th before it goes away again. While many will enjoy the dish that's part enchilada and part burrito, others, like me, are a bit bummed. That's because they passed over our favorite menu item...

Some businesses prefer to fly under the radar. If you never hear people talking about them, that's a good thing. A perfect example is Ticketmaster. They've been in the news the last few days, and as you'd expect, not in a good way. When the Taylor Swift pre-sale kicked off the other day, their computer system couldn't handle the volume. And it's only gotten worse from there...

When people talk about organized crime, we likely think about TV shows like Law & Order or the Sopranos. Well, it's become a reality in our communities, but not the way you think. Organized retail crime is on-the-rise, and stores like Target, Best Buy, and CVS are struggling. It's more than just small groups of shoplifters and a primary factor in rising prices...

A recent study tells us that stress at work can be a good thing. This research claims that we need to search for positive stress. When I saw a story online about this study, I had to read it a few times before it made sense. Something like a challenging project is an example of good stress. It seems like an oxymoron to me, but perhaps it's true...

If you've dined out recently, you've likely noticed a few changes. At many restaurants, the service isn't as good as it used to be. And the prices have gone up, too. But some establishments have held off on raising the prices; instead, they have reduced the portion sizes. For some, that's not a big deal. But I'd prefer high prices over smaller portions any day of the week...

I've searched high and low for some research to back my hypothesis, but so far, no luck. I've noticed you find more trucks out on the road when it rains than on days when it doesn't. Perhaps it's just an illusion, but I don't think so. And these aren't just regular pickup trucks. When it rains, I see more big rigs, tow trucks, and buses on the streets than usual, especially during rush hour...

Recently, I've noticed that people are referencing children in a new way. Rather than simply calling them children or kids, people frequently use the terms littles or kiddos. When did this start? And, more importantly, why? Instead of shortening the word kids, which is already just four letters, we've turned a word that is either spelled with six or seven letters. And people can't even agree on how to spell the word...

Over the last few years, we've had some never-ending plumbing issues. A couple of weeks ago, a new problem popped up, and they thought it might be the pipes that connect to our washer. Fortunately, it wasn't, but we soon learned that the plumber didn't reconnect our washer correctly. And that meant we had to make a trip to the laundromat. That was something we hadn't done in decades...

These days, we all have shorter attention spans, or at least it seems that way. And nearly every sport has tried to speed up the game to keep modern fans interested. But I cringe whenever I hear the phrase, the play is under further review. While it's imperative to make sure every judgment call is the right one, going to the replay seems to make most games much slower...
For many of us, the smartphone is both a blessing and a curse. It can do much more than the old flip phone, but the spam factor has multiplied. A decade ago, we only received spam phone calls. But now, thanks to text messaging, there are multiple ways for spammers and scammers to reach us. Recently I've been getting numerous texts every week, and all they say is, hi. I know that something's up...

While math was never my favorite subject in school, I did enjoy statistics. I'm sure the fact that I started paying attention to sports averages and now social media numbers keep that interest alive.

I'm not sure if this is strictly an American obsession, but have you ever noticed our fascination with rankings? It can be sports or even TV shows. It can be just about anything. In college football, you can even be number one and number two at the same time.

I've always been a big history buff. I enjoyed the subject in school and have always been fascinated with the past. Even though I've been to most of the 50 states, there's still so much I'd love to explore. At my age, I'm amazed when I learn something new. Recently a story about some early explorers blew my mind; For example, the Vikings. They might have explored more than the northern parts of America and Canada...

We all have people, places, and things that trigger special memories. For some, a song could stir up those feelings. Or perhaps, it's a smell. For me, a late-night conversation in a Hooters parking lot changed my life forever. And even though that parking lot was in Indianapolis, I think about that memory every time I see a Hooters restaurant sign. And this memory has nothing to do with Buffalo wings or short shorts...

If you've been shopping in any store recently, it's likely been a bit frustrating. We still have many supply chain issues, there seem to be fewer people working in the store, and if you ask for help, they usually have no clue. And instead of lying to you, they tell you that straight up...

As the weather turns cooler, the fall foliage becomes a topic of interest for many. Some love to travel to see the tree turning beautiful colors. Others look at everything and simply see piles of leaves. One of the things that kids love to do this time of year is play in those piles. Over the last week or two, many friends have posted pictures of their kids enjoying the cooler weather. Naturally, that made me think...

Most of us have towels in rooms throughout our house, big ones, and small ones, but we don't pay much attention to them. In football, Pittsburgh is famous for its Terrible Towels. But when did they become an item in baseball? I've noticed that nearly every team in the baseball playoffs has a rally towel this year. Have they run out of original ideas? Everywhere you turn, there's another towel...

It seems that everyone has been talking about Cookie Monster this week. On Twitter, the other day, our blue furry friend from Sesame Street announced something that caught some off guard.

I am truly blessed to have both of my parents still going strong into their 80s. Today, my father is another year older. He's turning 87, and I admit that it probably causes me more stress than it does my father. I've never really cared about celebrating my birthday, but I can't say the same for my father. They just survived Hurricane Ian, and all he cares about is where they'll be celebrating tonight...

One of our problems with the judicial system today is nuisance lawsuits. People are tying up the courts with frivolous claims. Some say the Texas Pete case I discussed yesterday could be considered a nuisance. I wasn't sure until I read a story claiming the man filing that lawsuit also filed claims against other national companies; All of these in just the last two years. Now, I wonder...

Hot Sauce lovers are usually very serious about their favorites. There are literally thousands of brands from which you can choose. And even if you're not a fan, you've likely heard of some of the biggest brands. Tabasco, Frank's Red Hot, and Texas Pete are some of the best-known. But some people are clueless about even the biggest brands. For example, let's look at a recent lawsuit involving Texas Pete...

Numerous city, county, or state tourism boards want you to hit the trail. I'm talking about food trails. And in recent years, I've heard of a few options just hours away.

The shopping experience has changed so much in recent years. Amazon forced some stores to make changes then the pandemic made many stores change even more. Price matching has become a frequent occurrence. Recently, I've stopped at a few big box stores because I need something specific. I checked online to determine which location had what I needed. And when I got there, the price on the shelf was higher than on their website. So, I asked for a lower price...

Even though math was never my favorite subject in school, I usually did very well. I may have forgotten some parts of Algebra, but I still have the basics down pat. But maybe my math is off these days. We all know that there are four seasons, Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. And the TV season lasts from about September to May. So tell me, how can a TV show airing for 12 years be in its 23rd season? Perhaps they've changed the math...

I've had cats for many years. But it wasn't until we adopted our current cat Bizzie that I learned how much cats love cardboard boxes.

We all know that dogs bark. But have you wondered why? In their long genetic history, we've bred canines to protect us. And by barking, they scare people away. Of course, there's one frequent visitor that reminds a dog of its genetics; the postal carrier...

Much of the southern U.S. has been on hurricane watch for the last few days waiting for the arrival of Ian. While I don't have to worry about these severe storms here in Tennessee, I do always have to pay attention since my parents live on Florida's Gulf Coast. They've lived in Florida for over 30 years; and have seen the destruction too many times...

Do you ever get the feeling; that here in the U.S., we're obsessed with stories about cheating? There's been so much happening in the news this week. But everywhere I turn, I see a story about Maroon 5's Adam Levine or the coach from the Boston Celtics. These stories have nothing to do with music or basketball; it's about cheating in their personal lives...

I was reading an article about ants the other day. It mentioned that scientists think that 20 quadrillion of them populates the earth. I'd heard of a quadrillion before but couldn't fathom how significant the number was. I looked it up, and it came out to one million billion. That number itself is massive. Then I remembered the ants...

Going retro is a trend that seems to be happening with greater frequency.

And we're quickly learning...

I've never been the most patient person. But as I've gotten older, I've learned to go with the flow a bit more. But the stories from England where people are waiting for hours to pay their respects to the Queen boggle my mind. Most people have stood in line for 8 to 10 hours. And on Friday, the wait was nearly 24 hours long. That takes patience to a whole new level...

The other day I heard that old song by Bobby Russell called Saturday Morning Confusion.

A few months back, I read an article about the government setting up a mental health crisis line that you could dial with only three digits, 988. Now I realize that remembering three numbers is much easier than remembering 10. And I admit, I was skeptical. If people don't know the difference between 911 and 411, how will they remember this?

Yesterday was the 21st anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. After all of these years, the day still makes me pause. Everyone vowed they'd never forget.

When times are tough and threats of a recession loom, there's always a rise in catalytic converter thefts. It's all about the precious metals inside them. Thieves will go underneath your car, cut out the converter, and then sell it to a scrap dealer for hundreds of dollars. There has to be an obvious way to stop this...

I never thought that a trip to the store could be dangerous. As a kid, I loved going to the grocery store. With what's happening in our world today, I'm almost afraid to go now. There have been too many random shootings over the last few years. I hate that something so simple has become something so dangerous...

The U.S. has wanted to head back to the moon for decades. It's been roughly 50 years since we last set foot on the lunar surface. NASA wanted to launch the new Artemis 1 rocket yesterday but had to scrub the mission for possibly another month. We've already spent tens of billions with the hopes of putting people on Mars someday. I have one concern with this project...

I heard a new term last when the topic of education came up. They were talking about primary school. Now back in my day, we went to elementary or grade school. Is that what some systems now consider to be primary? Back in my parent's day, they went to grammar school. Over the years, I've become confused by all of the designations. And don't even get me going about middle school...

Have you ever noticed that some people get a lot of mosquito bites while others get very few? Even when I was younger and outdoors often, I rarely was bitten.

I've been a sports fan for as long as I can remember. And now that I have nieces and nephews in high school, I've started paying more attention to their school activities.

After years of staying up very late, I'm trying to get my body back to a 9 to 5 life. But over the last few weeks, I wake up, check the clock and see that I've only been asleep for a couple of hours. I feel like I've been in bed for five or six hours, only to find that isn't the case. Naturally, I never seem to sleep quite as well over the next four or five hours. I'm not sure what my body is telling me...

The other day I stumbled upon a website for parents identifying current teen slang. It made me realize that there were still a few phrases I've been using since high school. Of course, I don't know how we can track the words currently in or out. And who keeps this list up-to-date? I guarantee it's not someone who's still in their teens...

For many years, we've debated how we should save on our summer energy costs. While some people like my parents prefer to go without air conditioning, others argue about the best way to save money.

Have you noticed how many fast-food or fast-casual restaurants today have a secret menu? Both McDonald's and In-N-Out Burger have one. I read the other day that even Cracker Barrel has some off-menu items you can order. Perhaps they should focus more attention on the regular menu items...

Over the last few months, I've had some real issues with the US Postal Service. I know that they've been cutting costs, but I've had numerous checks lost in the mail. The service has gotten much slower, and the main issues have been with incoming payments and outgoing bills. And when you mess with my money, I'm going to complain...

Over the weekend, we had our annual sales tax holiday, or tax-free weekend as it's known to most people. Most families can save a lot of money when shopping for school items. And even if you don't have kids, there are still ways to save on some things you might need. I usually avoid most stores during this period, since they're all very crowded. But I couldn't stay away since I needed some contact lens solution...

I don't think this got much coverage last week, but we have a new political party. It's called the Forward party. The founders are some notable former Democrats and Republicans. Many say that our current political system no longer works. Some have attempted creating a third party in the past. The biggest question right now...

We can all agree that some people have too much time on their hands. People have wished famed cartoon character George Jetson a Happy Birthday for the past few days. And when they do, they're saying that today, July 31, 2022, is the day he is born. Yes, he's a fictional character from the 1960s, but according to the legendary cartoon, if he were real today would be...

Soda drinkers will notice a few changes in the coming months. Sprite, Mello Yello, Fresca, and Seagram's Ginger Ale are switching their green plastic bottles for clear ones.

I have to admit I love energy drinks. I know they're bad for me, but I only have 1 or 2 a month. Naturally, I like them for the boost. But I like the taste, too. I've tried most of the major players and have a few favorites. But the other day, I saw an ad promoting some brands I'd never heard of before. I wonder how some of these companies survive? There's only so much space in the store coolers...

The other day, someone I work with asked me to provide three interesting facts about myself. I've been asked to do this many times before and have even had some job interviewers ask similar questions. This topic has always been impossible for me to do. Because of my jobs in both the media and music business, I've experienced many unique things. Plus, I've met lots of influential people. But for me, this question is so stressful...

As we age, it's sometimes tough to keep up with which celebrities are dead or alive. But yesterday, the news was downright baffling. In the morning, many woke up to the news that Tony Dow, who played Wally on Leave It To Beaver, had passed away. But by the afternoon, we learned that his wife was mistaken, and he was still alive. I wonder what the real story is...

It's the middle of Summer, and the heat has been brutal. Our highs have been close to 100 degrees almost every day this month. And, of course, people want cooler temperatures. Over the last few days, I've heard people claim that we'll be begging for the July heat this Winter. That makes me laugh...

Tennessee does its elections a bit differently than other states. Early voting is underway for our second election this year. In May, we had the state and local primaries. Coming up, it's the general election for those races and the federal primary races. Then in November, it's the general election for those Federal elections. Most states handle this in just two cycles, while we have three. That makes me wonder...

Years ago, if you shopped at Circuit City or Comp USA, they'd try to get you to buy the warranty. That's where they made big money. Today those warranties are just called a protection plan, and while stores still suggest the plan, they aren't too pushy. Well, yesterday, I was asked if I wanted the plan, but it wasn't for an item you'd expect...

I've been on the road a lot more lately, and the one thing I see more of every day is dump trucks. And here in Tennessee, they don't have to keep their load covered. That means they're spitting rocks, plus simply being a hazard on our city streets...

The way we shop is constantly changing. And while department stores still exist, they aren't as popular as they used to be. When shopping malls started popping up in the 1960s, many chains moved out of downtown and tried to adapt. But it's never been the same. And it's getting worse. Sadly, the reason is a simple one...

Pardon the pun, but climate change has been a hot topic for many years. Many are worried about the future of our planet. Thankfully, MIT researchers have been hard at work trying to find a solution.

Being a lifeguard was one of the best Summer jobs when I was younger. What's not to love? But times have changed, and we currently have a shortage across America. With pools closing during COVID-19, many guards looked elsewhere for work. And of course, it's not the best paying job, so that's also a problem. This shortage has forced many pools to remain closed this year. And experts say it could be years before things get back to normal...

I've been using computers for a long time. The other day I looked down at my keyboard and realized that I still use the control key hundreds of times a day. I use that key to perform old-school DOS and Windows shortcuts. And that made me realize that I've probably used millions of those old key combination shortcuts over the years, without even realizing it...

To win the lottery, does it take luck or research? I'm sure most people would say luck. But I know one person in Maryland who thinks research is the answer. She says that because she's won over $100,000 three times in the last five years. And she claims...

I have a love/hate relationship with my check engine light. They do help warn you of problems with your car. But, they always seem to come on at the worst possible time.

For many, it's vacation time. That means almost everyone's taking their annual trip. Some will travel by car others hope to fly. The week that surrounds the July 4th holiday is always a slow one. After all these years, this still seems strange to me. My family took a few big vacations when I was growing up, but not many. And that has always worked for me...

New research shows us that consumer boycotts are on the rise. And this isn't something that just young people are doing. People of all ages are sending a message to companies they're watching. And these actions aren't solely politically-based. Many want businesses to be more socially aware. The biggest question is, will companies start rethinking their policies? Only time will tell...

Anyone who's ever lived in multi-unit housing fears apartment fires. While you keep track of your life habits, you can't be sure that every neighbor does the same. Last week we had two large fires in Nashville apartment complexes. These tragedies displaced roughly 40 families. And at this point, no one knows the cause. But the age of the buildings and the upkeep are some of the initial concerns...

Famous people have been investing in or owning restaurants for as long as many of us can remember. Celebrity Restaurants tend to come and go. And often, it has nothing to do with the name on the sign. Nashville has a long history of restaurants using celebrity names. The other day I read a funny story about this longtime trend. And I have to agree with their thoughts on the subject...

Cryptocurrency seems to be one of the hottest investment trends over the last few years. And while there's a lot of buzz surrounding this new form of investment, it still makes many people nervous.

For many sports fans, the in-person experience is most important. And for many NFL teams, a new or renovated stadium is always on the mind of team owners. Even though most owners are billionaires, they usually want someone to pay for that new stadium.

Years ago, many chain stores stayed in just one part of the country. But with the huge success of big chains like McDonald's and Walmart, many companies have started expanding. Recently, a northeastern favorite announced they were coming to town. People in Nashville are going crazy. And this company isn't even opening a new store here until 2025...

Free is a powerful word. It motivates people, But we also know that it's often a false reality. But today, I think the phrase more for less is more powerful. We often wonder when things are free. But if we can get more for less, that's better...

Do you remember the old saying, the consumer is king? Well, I sure don't feel like royalty these days. Business gains are sky high, and so are the prices of gas and groceries. Over the last few years, profits have been down because of COVID-19. And right now, we're the ones paying the price...

Today, we all get weather alerts on our phones or TV. But here in Middle Tennessee, we are a bit different. We have severe weather alert days. Sure, we get all the watches and warnings, but have you ever needed to be aware all day? And this isn't something that happens once or twice a year. We have these all the time. I've never heard of this before...

Lately, I've been getting a lot of emails that have 'action required' in the subject line. I've been using email for roughly 25 years, but until recently, I never saw this. I've asked around to see if anyone has noticed this. And of course, I can't find anyone who has seen it...

Most of us grew up in a world where the word milk meant one thing, the white liquid from a cow that we drink. But I was watching TV the other night, and I saw a product promoting the fact that it was dairy milk. And that phrase seemed odd to me. In recent years products that come from almonds and coconuts have claimed they were milk, but we all know that they're not. Perhaps something has changed...

I've been eating beef for most of my life and don't think much about it. There are different cuts of steak, and the part of the cow determines what we call them.

You could say that June is the start of the wedding season. We've all been hearing the phrase June bride for most of our lives. Many people head to Las Vegas to get married at one of the little chapels. And for some, having their ceremony officiated by someone who looks and sounds like Elvis is a fun way to mark the special day. But soon, that may not be an option...

Coffee is loved all over the world. But there have always been concerns about whether it is good or bad for us.

Anytime we have a tragedy, people are quick to offer their thoughts and prayers. But many feel that phrase no longer has any meaning. So, after the Texas school shooting, some have come up with a new way to share their feelings. They claim to be horrified and heartbroken. That almost sounds made-up, and I'm sure it was. Of course, it didn't take very long for the internet to react. And I'm sure you know what happened next...

It's been a heavy news week. So, as I scrolled through my newsfeed, I was looking for a story that could take my mind off the world's troubles.

These are rough times for many. A trip to the grocery store can be depressing. Store shelves are empty. And when you do find what you need, it costs too much. Also, food recalls have become an ongoing issue. Over the weekend, stores removed the peanut butter that we always buy from their shelves. And of course, there will be no refund...

I don't come from the largest of families. I guess you could say that most of the relatives that I do have could be considered distant relations. I do have a bunch of cousins.

It may seem silly, but what is salad? Isn't it a dish that includes lettuce in a bowl or on a plate? Then why is something that features chicken, tuna, or egg considered salad, too?

It's been downright warm recently here in Nashville. We've experienced both heat and humidity over the last couple of months. I've heard numerous explanations, but I've noticed one thing.

I can't remember the first time I used a drive-thru window at a fast-food restaurant. It was probably at a McDonald's or Wendy's in the late 1970s. So that makes me wonder why drive-thru etiquette has become a hot topic over 40 years later. Some say the pandemic has played a role in this...

Some of the big movie chains have decided to try variable pricing. That means you could start paying more for popular movies at peak times. Are consumers upset? I bet you know the answer...

Every family has its stories, secrets, and forgotten details. Years ago, I heard that one of my great uncles was missing in action during World War II, never to be found.

I don't know many people, young and old, who don't have an opinion on standardized tests. They cause stress when you take them and, for parents who question their impact. If you ever studied for the SAT, you know that feeling. Changes are coming to that test, and some young people will never understand what we went through...

More and more states have started to allow sports betting. If you watch sports on TV, you've probably seen an increase in the commercials. I'm still surprised that Tennessee changed its gambling laws to allow betting in the state. I remember when the lottery was approved years ago, and many people had issues with any form of gambling. A lot has changed...

And like the show that precedes it, The Masked Singer, it puts a twist on the performance. Alter Ego uses a form of avatar technology. And as we've discussed, you need to pay attention, not to the singing, but the technology...

I sometimes see them around the 4th of July, but...

A few years ago, Sriracha was popular, but I don't hear many people talking about it these days. The latest trend in hot sauces looks to be ghost pepper-based...

For the last few days, I've had the adage it's not the heat; it's the humidity running through my mind. It hasn't been as warm here in Nashville recently, but it sure has been humid. And we felt that when our air conditioning went out over the weekend. And, of course, it took days to get someone out here to fix it. And thanks to that humidity, it felt like we were living in a swamp...

Just in time for Mother's Day, the 17-year cicadas are returning. I never knew that there were 15 different broods of this insect. And each return at different intervals.

If you plan on getting flowers for mom tomorrow, I hope you haven't waited this long. Thanks to COVID-19, there is a flower shortage this year. And if you do find them, they could cost a whole lot more. But there is another unique reason for this year's lean market. And this one is a beauty...

People have often told me that I have a unique style. Of course, I realize that can be taken in two different ways. But no matter if I'm skinny or I'm fat, I'm comfortable with who I am. Certainly, no one has ever accused me of being a slave to fashion. And I honestly don't think that's a bad thing...

Back in my younger days, I used to go to 7-Eleven all of the time. Usually, my visits were for a microwave burrito, a Big Gulp, or of course, a Slurpee. I haven't been to a 7-Eleven in years. They weren't anywhere near where I lived. That was until recently when they return to Nashville. So, I had to stop in for...

I'm a person who is never satisfied. I realized this many years ago. Okay, maybe never is too strong of a word. But in all honesty, I can usually find fault with something.

At least that's what I'm telling myself...
