Episode 154: Quintin Mortensen | Sports cards cost as much as sports cars! Whaaa?

Ladies, gentlemen and whoever else is listening. Welcome back to the show. I appreciate you stopping by.

 

A couple months ago I was having a chat with my co-worker Quintin, bantering back and forth about hobbies and the frivolities of life. Come to find out he is a serious sports cards collector and trader.

 

My dear friends, this is a world I knew nothing about. His level of knowledge astounded me and did you know, these cards can cost as much as a sports car. Yep you heard that right. Mind blown. Give it a listen.

Episode 152: Matt and Celeste Casey | Our journey to hell and back with Neuroendocrine Cancer

My guests today are Matt and Celeste Casey. A little over 2 years ago, a serious thing happened to him. His golf game started to suffer when he was losing to his friend Fuji. Real problems right. 

 

After being poked, prodded, and scanned, Matt was found to have neuroendocrine cancer or NET, neuroendocrine tumors which took them to the gates of hell and back. 

 

Join us for a lengthy tale of how a devoted and loving wife advocated for and may have saved the life of, her husband by challenging the medical experts. It’s a miracle he is still with us which gives him plenty of time to improve his golf skills.

Episode 149: Lacee Smith | Payson, Utah city council candidate. Why I’m running and why you should care.

Welcome back to the program everyone and whomever else is listening.

 

My guest today is Lacee Smith. She is currently running for one of the open seats on the Payson, Utah city council. 

 

With local elections just a week or so away, we’re talking about why she is passionate about running and why it’s important for you to exercise your voting rights. 

 

In the past, only a small percentage of eligible city voters turned out. People are losing faith in and disillusioned with the governmental process and fearful of a percieved “good ole boys” club mentality where decsions are made and money is spent without the approval of the citizens. 

 

She wants to bring a whole new set of eyes to the city which will foster a more transparent relationship between the residents and their government.

 

Love her or hate her, you’ll always know where she stands on the issues.

Episode 147: Cary Snowden | The obituary whisperer.

Welcome back to the show everyone and happy Halloween to those of you into all the dark and spooky things.

Today, in light of the passing of Friends superstar, Matthew Perry and all the recent and and not-so-recent celebrity passings, my guest is Cary Snowden. He has been writing some of the most creative and heartfelt celebrity obituaries I’ve ever seen.

Jump on in for a stroll into the macabre, the funny, the witty and sometimes a little heartbreak as we talk about his connection to the famously departed.

Here is Matthew Perry's Obituary

Matthew Perry has left the building.

As one of the 'Friends,' Perry entertained the world and influenced culture through the 1990s in what was then the most popular sitcom TV had ever produced. Friends was huge, with many of my peers hosting weekly watching parties. We all loved it. Lynne and I still watch reruns as late as this week. Friends produced quotes and drama that were repeated and discussed at every company water cooler for the next week. Perry played Chandler Bing, a quick-witted Friend who offered the voice of reason to roomies Ross and Joey. He was my favorite on the show, and by the sound of it, probably yours, too. He did a handfull of other shows and a movie or two, but Friends will always be his legacy. He was terrific, and has left us far too soon. Drowning in a hot tub. 54.
