“For me the idea that I was wanted in life is to be a sports voice of the city. In my profession of sports writing, few things are more enamored than the guy or girl who writes something that everybody reads. Who says something everybody hears, that’s pretty cool.” – Benjamin Hochman “In the Willie McGee chapter in The Big 50 Cardinals I interviewed an old player that not a lot of people remember the name of, David Howard, he was kind of there. Played for a couple of years with the Cardinals in the late 90s and was teammates with Willie. Their lockers were near each other and he went up to Willie after the final game in 1999 and asked if “there was something I can have of yours. I revere you, you’re one of the best teammates I have ever had.” He's thinking he can get an autographed ball. Willie gives him the game worn jersey from Willy's final game and just gives it to this guy. Howard is like, “Willie, no man this is way to much.” Willie says, “no man I respect you as a teammate,” and that's Willie McGee. Will give you the shirt off his back.” – Benjamin Hochman “It's funny right, with sports even with hundred miles per hour…the idea of hitting triple digits. If I if I could throw 99 you would be impressed but if I could throw a hundred just 1 mph faster. You know suddenly, you're the hottest prospect in baseball with just 1 mph difference” – Benjamin Hochman Benjamin Hochman’s dream job would be Cheeseburger Eating Will Ferrell Movie Watcherer if that was a thing. The other two of his four favorite things in life are sports and writing and he assumes the title of sportswriter as lead columnist at the St. Louis Post Dispatch a role he took over from his idol Bernie Miklasz.

“The whole origin for doing this project was…it gives us an excuse to explore the city. Learn more stuff around us and hopefully be better St. Louisians or just people in general because were going out and exploring something.” – Matt Sims “Well it's important to think about that the "24 hour news cycle is a new thing in journalism. It used to be there was actually a gap of time. If the 5 o'clock news and the 7 o'clock news came on five days a week you had to wait a full 24 hours before you could get any development on a story and I'm not saying that the journalists of old were necessarily some paragons of virtue who absolutely should be trusted…no. You absolutely should be skeptical within reason and that's the tricky thing.” – Lucas Yochum “…you gotta go get those facts. Opinions are a dime a dozen. We've all gotten an opinion and were all allowed our opinion, which is fine but I don't ever put anything out onto the airwaves without having first said like, can I prove this. It’s one thing when we have conjecture and the conclusion of our final episode was asking; Is there hope for people in poverty? Is there hope for homeless people and for street-level addicts? The answer in my opinion is yes, absolutely because people are more informed and more aware now ever have been!” – Lucas Yochum Blinders Off is a podcast which digs deep into the roots of St. Louis to understand why things are as they are.

“Everything you want is on the other side of fear. It takes a couple of attempts to push through the fear to realize you can!” – Matt Hodel “If you don’t know where to start…it’s forward. Just go! Start…continue!” – Matt Hodel “On working with other people – “I think a lot of times it’s just planting seeds and the weird thing is that just because you have a vision and you see things your way doesn't mean that when you plant the seed in someone else there going to grow the same tree or flower. You throw it out there and then it's amazing what other people under different circumstances but the same idea and same intent come up with.” – Matt Hodel “Perfection is almost a demon a certain point. The best work of your life will not be recognized as the best work of your life until later. Until you have the perspective to even appreciate what you did. Nobody says this is going to be my masterpiece. Take the pressure off.” – Matt Hodel When one enters Ragtime Tattoo they will not only walk out with fresh ink but also a fresh look upon life when encountering the shop’s proprietor Matt Hodel. Ken met Matt via the creation of a commercial campaign for the St. Louis City and County libraries and immediately knew a podcast recording was in their future.

This episode is dedicated to Ken Calcaterra Sr. “I believe that we are here to contribute love to the planet each of us in our own way.” – Bernie Siegel “Mother Theresa said that she would not attend an antiwar rally, and the people who invited her were very upset, but she said to them, “If your ever have a peace rally, call me.” – Bernie Siegel “I’d say, unfortunately, for the majority of people, most of whom are the authors of multiple books that I interview, they have to have a tragedy to get them to wake up. And I always say, that’s what’s so sad, because what they’re saying has already been written and I say the same thing about my books! I can’t write anything new. I mean over the last thousand years there’ve been a hell of a lot of wonderful, inspiring people who have said it all! But yes, I will modernize it!” – Bernie Siegel Bernie prefers to be called by his given name and not Dr. Siegel. For over 40 years he has been helping patients by treating their symptoms to help them overcome dis-Ease. This originated in 1978 with Exceptional Cancer Patients, a specific form of individual and group therapy utilizing patients’ drawings, dreams, images and feelings. The physical, spiritual and psychological benefits which followed led to his desire to make everyone aware of his or her own healing potential. Ken Calcaterra had the honor of interviewing Bernie in New Haven Connecticut in 2015 along with his father Ken Sr. Watch Bernie Bits – The Words and Wisdom of Dr. Bernie Siegel through the following link. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcJt8C7upzPPw2Pt1Mw8Qw5NA9UvDxcv8 Check out Bernie’s offerings at www.berniesiegelmd.com Ken Calcaterra’s favorite Bernie books 365 Prescriptions for the Soul: Daily Messages of Inspiration, Hope, and Love - http://berniesiegelmd.com/products-page/holistic-healing/365-prescriptions-for-the-soul-daily-messages-of-inspiration-hope-and-love/ Love, Magic and Mudpies: Raising Your Kids to Feel Loved, Be Kind and Make a Difference - http://berniesiegelmd.com/products-page/parenting/love-magic-and-mudpies-raising-your-kids-to-feel-loved-be-kind-and-make-a-difference/ Love, Medicine and Miracles - http://berniesiegelmd.com/products-page/holistic-healing/love-medicine-miracles-lessons-learned-about-self-healing-from-a-surgeons-experience-with-exceptional-patients/ Visit Ken @ www.kencalcaterra.com and on various social media outlets and please share and comment on this episode.
