"Mighty Aphrodite" - Woody Allen surprise guest spot!?!? Just joking. But on this week's episode, Andrew and Ryan aren't kidding around about the tragically funny, Mighty Aphrodite!

"Zelig" - Ryan and Andrew tackle the many shapes and shades of the 1983 mockumentary, Zelig!

"Annie Hall" - Andrew and Ryan discuss what makes Annie Hall so great. Listen as we get into what we like and hate about Allen's character in the film, the innovative style the story is shaped with, and Andrew's belief that it is better to have loved and loss, than never...gross, just get into it.

Chapter 8 - "We live ten different lives." Bill and I discuss how he's managed life after Merrill Lynch, the retirement years. From juggling two homes, eight different lives with his kids, and pinching the cheeks of 23 grandchildren, it's safe to say Bill, along with his wife Barbara, have stayed busy in the past two decades. Join us on the season finale of the show, one final game of pinochle.

Chapter 7 - In this chapter, Bill and I have a talk about God. Is heaven real? Does limbo really exist? I ate meat on a Friday, am I going to hell? We get into all those burning questions, (aside from that last one) and more, on The Bill Bey Biography!

Chapter 6 - The crack of the bat. Pigskins flying overhead. Break out the crackerjack folks, it's time to play ball!

You don't want to miss it!

Chapter 5 - "If you want to boost your self-confidence when speaking to clients, take your glasses off."

Join us, on The Business.

Chapter 4 - Pack your bags; on this one, you're in for a trip! Bill takes us around the world to the many parts of the globe he's trekked to.
