Welcome to the Weekend… and what a weekend it is! With the Tigers headed to the World Series after their sweep of the Yankees, the “D” stands for “Down Right Proud to be a Detroiter!”.
On an equally exciting note (okay, not really) it’s also Podcast Day!
When we recorded today’s offering, the Tigers were actually playing what turned out to be the decisive Game 4 against NY. Not knowing the outcome… we turned to other “crucial” subjects including Lindsay Lohan’s endorsement of Mitt Romney and Lance Armstrong’s new gig as one of the Seven Dwarves…and we’re not talking “Happy”!
We also welcome three very special guests to my dining room table - my nephews, uh, grandkids - Preston & Jack (daughter Jessica’s 11 and 9 year olds) and Jackie’s 11 year old son Charlie. They share everything from their feelings on “Honey Boo Boo” and Justin Bieber to what it’s like to “date” in elementary school.
Think of it as “Fifty Shades of Grade School”.
So take a few minutes to stop thinking about baseball and take a swing at Podcast #61!
Have a great weekend… and Congratulations to the Tigers!
