Nights Of Our Lives

"Life is full of ups and downs just like our stories for this month. Sometimes you win: by embracing who you are and sometimes you lose: by driving a high school music honor society into the ground. Damon Runyon wrote that “life is 6-5 against.” We'd gladly take those odds. Hope you've had more than your fair share of triumphs.

"For this month, the Nights storytellers delve into the treacherous realm of dads and discover…hey, some dads can be pretty good after all. We have dads who sit in four hours of fog to try and glimpse the Man in the Mountains, dads who toss you their sandals on the burning dunes of Michigan, and dads who always supported you even if they didn't always agree with your methods. Here's to you having one of these dads.

"It’s difficult enough living with yourself! Imagine compounding that by living with other people! It can only be awful and the storytellers gathered for this month have lived the nightmare: from roommates who use your bed, to roommates who stay up way past your 9pm bedtime our storytellers have endured the worst of the worst. Come and commiserate!

"We here at Nights of Our Lives are a passionate crew. Really we are. Our curfew is now 11:30pm! Not on school nights of course. We’ve also had crushes on boys who grew up to be famous tv stars and we’ve even managed to pick up a girl at a bar, once. Has your pulse stopped pounding??

"Somehow we’ve been telling stories for fifteen years now. Don’t ask us where the time went, we don’t know. But for our fifteenth anniversary we’ve gathered a trio of our favorite storytellers and we asked them to tell their favorite stories. Watch out for dead fish, aspiring models, and high school boners. You’ve been warned. Most importantly, thank you for listening all these years. Here’s to fifteen more.

"We don’t love snow but we do love love. At least that’s what we claim during our round-table discussion. We hope, you love this month’s show, since our theme is, well, love.

"Did you ever achieve sports glory? Me neither. So live vicariously through our performers this month as they regale us with such past triumphs as getting promoted to assistant bat boy, coaching a losing youth volleyball team, and pooping in a McDonald’s bag to get back at a crosstown rival.

"It’s the holiday season and that can mean only one thing: yours truly complaining about snow and joy. And also presents. Presents are always good. Our storytellers end the year by sharing stories of their Best Presents: whether it be a mother’s kick in the pants, a family car, or a Cabbage Patch Doll named Debbie.

"We could all use a break from the world. This month’s show promises only Happy Stories—a first for our show we think.

"As summer winds down we think about the start of school. And although school, this year, will look different, some things never change: like productions of Romeo and Juliet run amok or spring band trips that turn into scenes of a crime or open mic nights that don’t end as disastrously as feared.

We doubt the theme of this month’s show has anything to do with what’s going on in the world but we don’t doubt that, at some point, we’ve all been sick. Let’s just hope it’s not right now.

Oh how lucky we are. Especially when compared to the storytellers we rounded up for you this month. From having baby carrots lodged in their throats to being called “Barf” by their wrestling coach to playing pick-up basketball with a man decades older than they—our performers have experienced “luck” in all her wild and wooly permutations.

Would you accept a $100,00 to sleep with a total stranger? (Full disclosure: I absolutely would.) Would you stay in a relationship with someone who repeatedly kissed other people?

Pardon the buzz! David Martin's story begins with some microphone noise. It only lasts a minute or so, and then the laughter begins! What haunts your dreams? That work deadline? Zombies?

For better or for worse, we’ve all had a dad.

We got all the vices you could want in this month's show: cocaine? Check. Performing cunnilingus on a menstruating woman? Yup. Uncertainty over adopting an abandoned guinea pig? Of course.

Can’t stand how you look? Neither can we. Stand how you look. Hahaha. Oh my [wipes away tear], that’s a great joke. But honestly, none of us like how we look either. We all have Body Issues. And in this month’s show our aesthetically challenged storytellers bare all sharing their body issues with you.

The end of summer signals the beginning of school. For this month we gave our performers, as homework, the task of sharing with us their best Back to School stories. What they told us runs the gamut from being the star reporter at the college paper to passing out in Health class at the mention of the word "vagina" to heartbreak in the dorm. Enjoy!

We all harbor deep, dark secrets about ourselves. And most of the time we keep these awful secrets to ourselves. But not for this month's show! Tune in and hear some erotic fiction! And also how one of our storytellers' brothers peed on his mom's face! All true! Makes you feel better about yourself, doesn't it?

Dads, for better or worse we all have one. I guess for better, because if we didn't have one who else would tell us that we are failures? Besides basically everyone else. Anyhoo--this month's show features everything from the world's most supportive and loving father to a dad who climbs the highest peak in each state to father figures and misprized love. Enjoy and you know what? Give good ole dad a call afterwards.

Moms, a necessary evil? Or are they more than that? Like, possibly, the best spouse you could ever ask for?? We answer these questions and more (so many more) in this month's Nights of Our Lives as we hear stories about moms who never hugged their daughter to moms who gave their son a trophy for being the best son ever (awwwwww).

This month our storytellers push the boundaries of what passion means: Hiding a Playboy in the back of a Cabbage Patch Doll package; writing medieval erotic fiction; feeling immense shame at the one and only dirty magazine you've bought. Well this is what our storytellers consider passionate. The Marquis de Sade they ain't.

We all need delusions in order to muddle through the humdrum reality of actual life, right? So tune in and listen to tales from the most delusional folk we know: ourselves.
