Hi Everyone, obviously by the title and listening to the first few seconds of the episode I am taking a brief break from the show. I have been uploading an episode every week for close to three years now and the past few haven't been up to the standard I hold myself so I want to take a few week break to get some scheduling and episode topics squared away before I come back so we get back to the level I like the content at. Thank you for understanding.

Now that the NFL season is over I thought it would be fun to take a look back at mine and Matt's preview for this past season. I re-listened and already heard myself bashing the Bengal's and their decision to draft Jamar Chase so it will be a little slice of humble pie for myself. Enjoy.

Now, kids want video games and "V Bucks" for Fortnite but what about Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots? What about American Girl Dolls? What about Elefun the Elephant?! Dan and I take a trip down memory lane and discuss the best Christmas toys we remember. Enjoy.

This week I wanted to discuss wine as it is something that you'll be bringing on dates, if the date goes well meeting your special someone's parents, or will be a gift for someone you care about. That being said, do you want to serve someone you care about sewage water?! Or more importantly do you want to buy an expensive bottle of wine for someone special only to find out after the fact the wine was horrendous?! Don't worry your trusted host is here to breakdown what you are looking at when you pick up a bottle of wine. Enjoy.

We're back! After a minor (major) inconvenience we're back to discuss my inevitable demise, am I going to get murdered, kidnapped, or eaten by a wolf. Let's discuss some hypotheticals. Enjoy.

Would you have believed me if I told you 10 years ago the NBA Conference Finals would be between four small market teams (none of them including Lebron) and the PGA would be more enjoyable amongst 18-25 year olds than baseball?! What a wild summer of sports we have to dive in and have a chat. Enjoy.
