Mystify yourself by listening to a pretty funny show that almost never was! How can that be possible? Well, it's called a turn of events towards your favor. The boys dig in fast with the greatest show on a high top table and quickly discuss how the no booze is going, cold showers, stories that count, and make some big plans for the much teased spring series that lies ahead. Tommy gives Colin a belated bday gift as the return of the CD is discussed. Eventually Fort Worthington calls in during his trip to Mars and literally brings a tear to Colin's eye. All that and so much more on this episode of ST WOW that just as easily could have never happened, but you'll be glad it did! Clink!!

Well, this is a first. A podcast in the bar without any alcohol? A first indeed. This episode includes A rehash of Colin's bday bash, the boys break a show rule and get a little political and then partake in a lively and wisdom-steeped discussion of The A Word: Apology. All that and more as the truth comes out, the stories are told, and poor old Fort tells his tale of sharing his wife with Leon Musk.

All things are considered in this episode, including a discussion about Colin's bday week, more tales of The Renaissance Faire in which Tommy invents a new word that everyone will be using, intern J. Holiday returns with his own story counts, several band names are presented and it could be that Fort calls in with another unbelievable tale of being the landlord to the richest punk in the world. All that and more so join in and let ST WOW delight you with delight!Send us a text

The boys are back at home in Studio DD and it's not long before Fort Worthington, fresh off a sojourn, calls in with an update and shares the startling results of his DNR test.

The boys slide back into the corner bar after a way-too-long hiatus, but we'll be damned if they don't do so with style, humor, and a near endless supply of fresh and unused band names.

You'll want to already be thinking on this! Then ST WOW sets the crosshairs right smack dab on the ever-increasing social phenomena known as Toxic Positivity. Eventually Colin ducks out for his important board meeting and long-time friend of the show Holly hops on the mic and joins Tommy as they have a great interview the rather reluctant Boston Larry (played by Mark Wahlburg in the movie of his life!). The should could not  finish any stronger when Holly reads her personal show review Live on the air and it is PURE POETRY. W

The boys power through adversity and start the week off wrong (and late!) out of step and swagger with the norm. Perseverance rules the day as a quick jump over to Studio 1B proves to be a good spot for a fine show. Stories abound as all the things that got in the way of the show(s) that should have been, but weren't,  are presented along with more thoughts on the show itself as born from the feedback that often follows the creation of art out of thin air.
