Contrary Gardens

Don't you love that episode title? I know I do! Enjoy every second. :)

It's a great time to be a big Lib who likes movies! I give my take on the DNC, the local elections and get ready, because I am going to Canada to watch fancy films with family. The Toronto International Film Festival is finally here. Grab a cup of Joe and enjoy.

Hey Marebians! I am telling you I'm not going and I made you a pretty episode. I have some thoughts and here they are. Breaking News - I am a part of the awesome new podcast: Scooch Ovaries. I get to spend time with and have some laughs with my funny friend, Comedian Robin Savage. Give it a try, too. It's streaming everywhere podcasts are streaming, and even on YouTube, because I have a video camera. What an embarrassment of riches, according to my inner child. Love you!

I am back with the news and views that make your world turn! A fresh new rambling rant. Enjoy. :)

Hello my adorable Contrary Guardians. Did you stay up to see the ball drop? Did you wake up and feel like a new person? Of course you didn't.  Don't worry, it's not you.  Let's explore this lie and see where it takes us, shall we?

When shit goes sideways, we blame Mercury being in retrograde. We have been doing this for a very long time. It's not Mercury. It's us. Accountability is a total boner killer, but it's the only way we are going to get unstuck. Also, why is my car so dirty and why isn't anyone coming over to wash it? See you at Fresh Market. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

I would like the grim reaper to take a break and leave the old Hollywood actresses that are still alive, alone. Thank you. Also, I kinda sorta did standup, maybe. ;) --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

This was another one of those weeks. I am super glad you stopped by to hear what's rolling around in the old gray mare's brain. You look really pretty today. Or handsome. Don't stay thirsty.

This week's topics include: Manatee County has once again dodged a bullet (a huge hurricane). Tina Fey has been fixing society for years, planting little seeds of change, watering them, trying, and we're just not paying attention. Well, I am. But are the rest of you? I mean, Jyna and Robin are, too, still, but what about YOU? Give credit where credit is due. When I say Tina Fey is my Jesus, it's not just her ability to write funny stuff. A small movie that came out in 1973 kicked off my Pygmalion obsession. and so much more! love you. mare --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Episode 15 marks a return to the closet recording, no guests, just a little complaining and a little about the Oscars. I gotta share my view of the Oscars, even though it's all been said.

Check out Comedian and author Robin Savage and your favorite podcaster (that would be me) as we shoot the shit and tell stories from our glory days in standup comedy.

Full disclosure: a couple Michelob Ultras were consumed prior to taping, and they were delicious.
