Episode 2254 –  Kid A.G. and Hat Trick dissect one of the most disturbing revenge tales ever: a woman discovers her husband was knee-deep in escorts, dies, and instead of torching his memory… she literally eats his ashes. Yep. Bone dust as seasoning. They break it down in detail—how she desecrated him first with a fresh pile of dog shit, then circled back for a posthumous taste test. We dive into why this was her go-to revenge, and offer a list of way better options (none of them involving your taste buds). From there, the convo swerves hard into relationships, trust, and women asking for sperm like it's Uber Eats. Kid shares a Tinder saga involving a smoke-show who didn't want dinner or drinks—just his swimmers. Hat Trick weighs in on whether that's a compliment or a red flag the size of Texas. And of course, no GDS episode is complete without a time-travel moment: an unearthed iPad yields a drunken post-Kid Rock concert clip featuring Dimples losing her shit, headbutts included. We close it all out with the usual man vs. woman breakdown—why guys are garage-tinkering simpletons and women are world-running hormonal Voltrons.

Episode 2250 – The Kid is back in studio with longtime GDS legend Hat Trick, and the honesty hits harder than a peanut butter sandwich shoved into a Childs face. They dive into the real differences between boys and girls, from childhood to puberty, and how dumb guys really are — spoiler: it's bad. Hat Trick brings the insight of a mother of twins, and the duo ends up reminiscing about early porn exposure, sketchy adult video stores, and how technology shifted everything. But it's not just laughs and lube — they go deep on sexuality as a spectrum, society's toxic expectations on women, and the growing movement of heteropessimism — women realizing they might not need men at all. Add in some honest talk about relationship insecurity, imposter syndrome, and why confident women intimidate the weak… and you've got a raw episode of real talk.

He explains key principles like the rule of 72 for investment growth and the value of diversification to secure financial stability across generations.

You get good screen time. You've got 10,000 words, and the memory of a picture is a lot greater than the memory reading from a book. I'm not saying you don't remember. It's just that the picture is there and you can visualize, and if you can visualize something down the road in 10 years, five years. But the thing is, it imprints is there, but the book isn't the same as a picture as that picture. This is why this has become a lot more usable. Tim  00:33I'd like to ask you some questions. Do you consider yourself the kind of person that gets things done? Are you able to take a vision and transform that into action. Are you able to align others towards that vision and get them moving to create something truly remarkable? If any of these describe you, then you, my friend, are a leader, and this show is all about and all for you. I'm Tim Sweet. Welcome to the 53rd episode of the Sweet on Leadership podcast. Tim 1:06Welcome back, everybody. Thanks for joining us again. Here on the Sweet on Leadership podcast, I have a dear friend joining me today. I'd like to introduce you all to Dave Appleton. Dave Appleton has been a friend of our family, helping us with financial decisions. We've known each other for years. We came from the same community, but Dave means so much to the health and the wealth and the happiness of my family that it's a real pleasure that I get to introduce all of you today to this fine man. So Dave, thanks for joining us. I hope that this is a fun experience, and I'm looking forward to all the reactions we're going to get from this, because I know that the lessons and the messages that you have and what you've taught me in the past is going to resonate with a lot of people out there that are trying to improve their influence and their impact with others and their life in general. So again, I'm really excited for this one. Dave 02:01Happy for you. It's been a pleasure. Tim  02:06Okay, Dave, why don't you tell us a little bit about you and the company you run and give us a picture for what your purpose in life is. That would be great.  Dave  02:14First of all, I have been in this business for over 40 years.  Tim  02:19Yeah, wealth management and financial advisory. Dave  02:23Yeah, and insurance and I started with, years ago, I started with Manulife. And it's funny because I went with Manulife because they were focused on money products, like financial planning, and that really attracted me. Prior to that, I was in real estate for I had my own business in real estate for about 15 years. And I think when you go from one type of business to another, but they're both linked to financial, there's a lot of crossover of information that you maintain and or keep. And I think I've always been in the money side of things, because it intrigues me. Real Estate, you're helping people. Transitioned over into the financial services industry. And I say financial services insurance was not the hot topic at that time. It was more helping people with their money, retirement planning, things like that. And interestingly enough, I joined Manulife because they bought or developed a plan, a financial planning plan from California, Financial Profiles. It was called, and it was a dot matrix program. Tim 3:30Yeah, so floppy disks? Dave 3:30Well, it was a very slow process, and I to relay a story to that, I remember one time I was doing a plan for somebody, and I said, Oh, I hit the button to say, I want the whole plan. Four hours later, we finally got the plan. I actually went out for dinner and came back and it was still printing. So it shows you how things have changed, from a technology point of view. And, you know, it's interesting when you look at these things and how financial planning has become a hot topic. Before people, oh, yeah, financial planning. And there was all sorts of people that said they were financial planners. You don't want to become a product peddler, shall we say, but you want to become a financial planner, where you're looking at analyzing and helping people get reach their goals. And what financial planning does is it forces you to look at the things you want to do, where you are in life, what direction you want to go, family, everything else, and then you plan accordingly. Tim  04:23What's one or two of the most meaningful transformations you've seen families that you've helped make. Dave  04:30Most of my clients have been with me for over 25 years. And interestingly enough, when you look at where they started from and where they are now, and I'm not the magic guy, it's just that when you have the information, you can make the right decisions, or hopefully in guidance. And that's all you know, a financial planner isn't guide, shall we say, guide of going through life. And you, you provide people with information, and then they can discuss those options and choices that you they have to do or and help them along the way. Sometimes it's just a couple, then it becomes a couple and some children, and goes from there. And yeah, some of the couples I started with that had children, the children are now clients of mine too. So yeah, it's an ongoing, it's an ongoing business. And I like that, because I think, and that's the teacher in me, because I taught a couple of years. So yeah. Tim  05:20You know your client set is really interesting, because you've been with some of them from the very beginning all the way through to the very end and you know, for us, and we've been clients of yours for years after we were introduced by a good friend, and you spend your days, you have the focus to spend your days looking at what options are out there, what movements are out there? What needs to be done keeping an eye on that aspect of my and my wife's life, you're calling me and saying, Hey, this is happening. This is going on. We need to move something around, or we need to plan for something in the future. And so you're able to devote your time to keeping an eye on things for people where they may not have the time or the expertise to keep that that attention as high as it needs to be. My clients, even this week, when they're facing challenges of leadership and team, they may never have dealt with that challenge before. They're not an expert at getting out of that issue. I deal with it 30 times a year, and so I specialize in some of the issues that they call me in for If your faucet is leaking, you call a plumber, right? You don't call the local baker or something. That's what I notice for sure. Do you think captures it? Dave  06:32As a planner, I'm not a chartered accountant, I'm not a lawyer, but I think the people that are in need of financial advice are the business owners, the self employed and people that have family situations and that getting the right advice is so important when you're planning for your future. And I think that's the problem. Is most people don't think far enough ahead. They think ahead, but they don't they think about next year, but they don't think about five years, ten years, and where am I going to be and making a big financial plan when you're 30 years old. I stopped doing the big, complex financial plans because there's too many changes between age 40 and 60 in retirement years or 30 and and 50. And you can do a plan, but it doesn't have to be a complex plan. Yeah, and I think that's the key is you gotta, you just gotta have a direction and understand things, understand terminology. What's an RSP, what's a RIF? These are things that we I think every business has their own acronyms. What's your GDS ratio? People say GDS, well, gross debt service ratio, and then that's how they qualify you for a mortgage. Every industry has these little short forms in that, like here, in ours, we have the riff, we have the list, and people look at you, and you got to be careful, as an advisor, not to utilize these term, this terminology, without explaining what it is, because if you say it and they don't understand it, they're not listening from there on. Tim  08:00So that's that brings us to a really interesting point, because, you know, again, I consider you one of my close friends now at this point. And for those of you that can't pick this up in Dave's voice, because you sound spry and youthful, and you are, you know, you're the same age as my dad. You'll have a big birthday coming up this year, right? And when we talk on the phone or whatever, to me, age is irrelevant. It's trust and respect and mutual interest in the other person's well being and all of those things that kind of come into play. And a big part of that for us, Dave has been that you come to the house when we need to be thinking a certain way. You keep us on a plan and on a track, and you help us see things differently. You help us consider all of our options. You put everything on the table. And you do this in such a personal way, because one of your one of your habits, is to always be doing this in really close proximity. It's not something that's kept at a distance. It's very intimate. And we're having coffee and we're sitting around the table, and it's… Dave  09:08Tim, I'll interrupt you there. That's why I come to your house for a free cup of coffee. There you go.  Tim  09:12There you go. Free cup of coffee. Oh, I hope our coffee is all right. But when you think about that, and you think about the value that you can bring to somebody by having them get out of their bubble and thinking long term, right? That's one of the biggest benefits that you've given us, is allowing us to take a much longer view. And in the middle of COVID, when things are a little bit hot, rational outside perspective, focus on the larger picture here. Don't get too bent about the little moves. What kind of problems in the world or with families are associated with that thinking too close, thinking too much in the short term. Dave  09:50I'll give you a good example, in the tech bubble. When it was back in the 2000s, that tech bubble we talk about it, tech stocks were just i. Everybody wanted to be in tech. And I had, I think I might have, might have told you this before, I had a client who was a GIC client, and we finally got him involved in some insurance company segregated funds, which are like mutual funds, because of the guarantees that they provide. That was a big step for him. And I always remember he was there for years, and when the tech market was going crazy, he says, oh, we were making like 16% in on our on his investments, and he wanted to move because his neighbor next door was in tech, and he was making 24% so he moved all his money into tech. I didn't do it. I said, I think you're crazy. And as we know, the tech market went from $1 to 20 cents, in some cases, some of those stocks, and it was a short term thinking, talking about long term, short term. One thing if people can remember, the one thing if they can remember, is the rule of 72 and the rule of 72 is, if you take 72 divided by the interest rate that you earn on your investment, that's how long it takes your money to double. So if I get 10% as an example, it's going to double in 7.2 years. Yeah, if I get 5% Oh, guess what? Now it's double the time. If I get 2% I get, Oh, here you go, the banks give me 2% of my on my savings account. It's going to take your money 30 plus years to double at 2% and we're only talking a difference of, Oh, I get 7% that's 10 years. I'm going to use 8% as an example. So every nine years, my money doubles. So if I put in $10,000.09 years later, and I get 9% I get nine years, my might becomes $28,000, it's the next nine years with 20 becomes 40, and then 80, it's a doubling of the doubling. And I think that's what people forget, is it's, that's the long term thinking. And if you can, you don't need 50% returns. You don't need 40% because now you gotta add in the one thing that really affects everything is the risk factor. Yeah, okay, I got a picture in my office, and it's actually, I think it's down Pebble Beach. It's the one where they shoot the golf ball the holes across the ocean. There Was You gotta get it across, and the bottom of it is risk. I'm looking at it now, and you look at these things, you think, oh, yeah, because people don't sometimes look at the risk side. I'm not saying people don't make more money in short term, but don't put all your money.  Tim  12:34I think there's a crossover there to life, and that is in terms of Jen and I, when it comes to either finances or what we do more broadly, in the things we choose to engage in, you want to have things in your life that are very solid, that are foundational, that give you that low or or controlled risk environment, so that you have bandwidth to take some risks in other areas of your life. So you know, when it comes to investment, I have a portion of my portfolio that is in startup companies and things which are a little higher risk, but the stability of my long term investments gives me the ability to play over in those spaces without feeling overly exposed, right? It gives me a little bit of freedom. And it's the same thing that financial stability that we've created with you, allows me to take the risks that are associated with being an entrepreneur and being a business owner and investing in my business and making plays in my business, which other people might find very scary that don't want to take those risks, and so balancing that kind of net risk is part of that control part of our life that allows us to then be free and creative over in other parts of our life where we need to be free and creative. Dave  13:59Yeah, I think you have to ask yourself, Where did you go through life? You got to say, okay, is my investment an investment, or is my investment a gamble? And when it becomes a gamble, the risk factor goes up considerably. We all do this, but you don't do it with 100% or 80%, 50% of your money. You want to play the game. As I always tell people, you want to play the stock market. You take some money and go play it. It becomes a gamble when you're taking I gotta double my money overnight. I'm gonna bet this one horse, and he's gonna. It's a hot tip. Tim  14:31Just this past week, I used the phrase again when I was doing some career work with an executive. We were talking about getting stuck in waiting for someone else to promote you, hoping that somebody notices you. That, to me, is a gamble, right? That you're hoping that other people are going to do something in the same way, that if you're not enjoying your job and you jump and you don't know what you're moving into, or you're not leaving with a feeling of success from wherever you jumped off. You're playing the career lottery, and longer term thinking says we have to slow some things down. We have to really analyze what all of the inputs are and then make the best possible strategic moves to lower the risk overall. It doesn't mean you can't do exciting things. It doesn't mean you can't take risks, but you do it with as much data and as much controlled risk as possible, I think there's great lessons that transfer over to how we think about the game of money and investment and financial literacy and all of those things, when we start to apply those same lessons to our life. Dave  15:37Yeah, and I think there's been a lot of stuff written books and that on people that win the lotteries, yeah, and you look at it and you say, a lot of those people don't have the money in five years. They win big money, and they don't do the planning. They don't, a million dollars. You can't retire on a million dollars. As a kid, I used to watch the program The Millionaire on TV, and a million dollars, back 40 years ago, was a lot of money. I had a client that they inherited $900,000 and of course, one year, if you can believe it, they spent $100,000 in travel costs. They started to listen to me because I said, Well, you're just going to burn it up because you can't expect to double your money replace that type of usage in one year. Hey, you want to have a travel budget, that's fine, but stick to the budget. I mean, I always like to tell people you want to, we like cruising. And you know, when you do it, they got six month cruises. Those cruises are $200,000 people buy those tickets, but those are people that have a lot more. And 200,000 is probably like 20,000 for the average person. They use that money because they're going to, obviously, they're going to be out traveling around, doing spending, and they're not just spending 200,000 on the cruise those cruise ships sell out. But I look at cost of living things like that, we're going to go through this with the tariffs and everything. I think this is going to cause a great wake up call for a lot of people. Yeah, they're going to have to start looking at the deals that are out there. You know, are you going to go out and buy oranges if they're going to cost you 10 bucks a pound or whatever? I don't think so. So these are things that people have to start looking at. Investing money. I'm going to say, Well, okay, don't tell me. I'm going in for lower risk. I'm going to invest in my GIC. Well, that's a risk. Yeah, right away. It's a risk because the risk is you're going to run out of money, yeah, because you can't survive on a 2% rate of return when inflation is three. And you can't survive if you're 40 years old. Putting into GICs, the key, I think, to any investing is diversification, and diversification simply means that I got my money all over the world. You've got a whole blend. Don't get into the risky diversifications.  Tim  17:53Yes, I think it's a great segue into thinking about the real risk of decisions. And again, this is one perspective I'd love to ask you about right now. One thing that we know is happening is perhaps people invested and are able to retire right now. And so you and I had lots of talks around retire at 60 or retire at 65 and we're seeing lots of strong data now coming out about the increased dementia risk when people are bored and when they're not active and feeling useful, even having suitable amounts of stress, and definitely a notion of having purpose and a community and people that hang around is really important. And taking that decision that this is when people retire, decision, this is what we should do. This is what society says we, when we should put ourselves out to pasture. That's never been your game. For the people that are out there listening. Drop that knowledge on them. Drop what you told me about the thought of staying sharp, challenging yourself to help other people.  Dave  18:59I think working and keeping I'm not saying it's going to prevent dementia, but it forces you to remember things. It forces you to be active, forces you to interact. And I think the highest risk retirees, if you can believe it, are the police and firemen. Because they have a high, high stress job, they retire, and they sit retire, and they sit at home, watch TV and bang, and the mind goes, I'll be working on the day I die, as I said, and I don't mind that, because you feel you're interacting, you're you're alive. Let's put it this way, you see at Home Depot, you see all these people that are retired and they're working there. When you take an Uber, I like taking an Uber because you're talking to people that are, yeah, they're working and everything you're getting life stories from these people, yeah, really interesting to hear the life stories of different people. Tim  19:49Any year I have clients, probably three to five a year are people that are on to second careers. They're 60-65 or older. They've retired. And it's hasn't worked for them. They're starting businesses. They're entering into consulting. Often the story is that they finished working when they were told they should finish working, when they were prepared to finish working, and they're bored. My clients are primarily very driven people. They're leaders of organizations. They're people that are not satisfied with kind of mailing it in and taking it as it comes. And you're not going to suddenly become somebody who is going to be satisfied with a boring existence or a purposeless existence after you retire. And so pay attention to who you are now, there are things that people misidentify as, stuff that'll never change when it actually can change, and there's things that people think will change when it actually won't change, for instance, your personality or your drive, and in some way, shape or form, you're not going to suddenly change who you are, right? Some of those things are pretty baked in. We've come quite a ways here. We've talked about the lessons that we can capture from long term thinking. We have talked about how important it is to think this way, Assuredly when it comes to our wealth and when it comes to life and planning and family, what do you want people to challenge themselves to do? After listening to this. Dave  21:25You got a plan around what they have. What is your lifestyle? What is your family situation? Do you have kids? Do you care about your grandkids? Are these factors so we put away 150 bucks a month for the grandkids when they hit age 60 or 65 there's a half a million dollars in access to cash flow. And you know, there's different things, you know, you say, oh, inflation, Oh, that's too much money. Tim 21:49150, bucks a month is too much. Dave 21:50It's not too much more than 10 bucks or a cup of coffee every day. It's 300 bucks a month, right there. If you don't do that, how much you're going to have when the kids hit 65 you can save money, and if you're willing to adapt, I'm not going to buy steak every day. Well, I'll buy it if it's on sale once in a while, but I don't think everybody should have steak every day anyway, so it's not good for your body.  Tim  22:14So you help people plan from a financial perspective. I help them plan from a career perspective. I think it's always hilarious that when I ask somebody they've spent more time planning one vacation or buying one car than they've ever put into where are they going in this life, making decisions, looking at what we're starting with, and mobilizing the assets we've got and the choices we can make towards the future that we want to have. Dave  22:44You're a good example, Tim, you were a chef. You did things and you changed. You've changed careers, and you were good, but then you say, Do I want to do this for the rest of my life? And you made a change, and I made a change. I taught for a couple of years, and I made a change. If people look ahead and say, Okay, I gotta, I gotta change, make a change in my direction, because otherwise, if I keep going this way, I'm going to fall off the cliff.  Tim  23:08Yeah, yeah. Or somebody else can decide when I fall off the cliff.  Dave  23:12Well, as I've said to you, and other people say, I'll live to, I want to live to 125 because I want to see them, uh, grow up. But, yeah, that's not going to happen. But it's think that way. Maybe it does.  Tim  23:22Yeah, and some people start with more privilege than others, or better situations than others. But wherever you're starting, having a plan and being intentional versus leaving it up to chance, you'll do better off regardless of your starting position. We do this little game here where we play a hopscotch game between guests. In a previous episode, we had Jared Vandermeer, who was a social media expert, join us, and he lobbed a question, which we're going to play for you now that I'd like you to respond to. Jared  23:52Let's talk screen time. I challenge you to look at your screen time on your phone, if you're comfortable, share your screen time with the audience and then let us know what you're doing to manage it, if anything, at this current time. Dave  24:05I, first of all, I probably don't know my screen time because I use my phone what's changed, and I'm not making excuses. This is, this is my diary, you might say, and everything in it, because I… Tim  24:17Yeah, same thing. It's our office on our hip.  Dave  24:21It's a tool. Yeah, it's not. Now, I would probably say, I we talk screen time. I'd like to say, Okay, let's What's your screen time in front of that TV? Yes, to me, it's true screen time. And yeah, I say there's people that spend hours, an hour in front of a TV and watching, what do they watch? Nothing. Oh, I'm going to watch the news, their news crazy or whatever. And I watch TV, but what I really enjoy is, if you can learn, even my grandkids like sitting there watching a cartoon is one thing. Sitting there and watching a program that is a learning, use it as a learning tool. The Smithsonian on TV is free use now, and the history and things like, that's what. To learn. That's good screen time. Yeah, okay, that's like reading it. That's a video book, almost, because you're seeing history and actual photos and things like that. That's good screen time watching some movie. I know people that they're movie buffs, and they go, that's all they watch. And I think you gotta differentiate. There's nothing wrong with screen time, we see it now how it's come into the educational system. The kids can watch it, but it's not watching cartoons. It's a learning tool.  Tim  25:29Is there quality screen time versus something that's keeping you from investing that time in better ways? We should be a little more discerning when we say screen time to are there things that can help us grow? So I love that answer, Dave. Dave  25:46Yeah, I think it's the old adage, like a picture's worth 1000 words. You get good screen time. You've got 10,000 words, and the memory of a picture is a lot greater than the memory reading from a book. I'm not saying you don't remember. It's just that the picture is there and you can visualize, and if you can visualize something down the road in 10 years, five years. I mean, I can, like I said to you earlier, I remember that movie The Millionaire, and I can, you can almost picture some of the old TV. And I can't remember the guy's name or what. But the thing is, it imprints, is there, but the book isn't the same as a picture as that picture. This is why this has become a lot more usable. Problem is they've let the use of this not why they ban it in schools. Is because the kids are saying, well, I'm texting out Sally over there in the other side of the room, and we're going back and forth and things like that. That's not the intended use. Whereas, if they said go into Google this and Google dinosaurs, will say, you know, if you see, you know, a video on dinosaurs and how they lived and things like that, it sinks in. It's an impression that kids suddenly say, Oh yeah, I see that pterodactyl. And now I know what the pterodactyl is. My kids, my grandkids, when they you know, we go to the drunk Heller, and they know the names of the dinosaurs, and they're six years old, for crying out love, if you can bring that type of screen time in early ages, it really helps them down the road in terms of reading and things like that.  Tim  27:17In the 15th century, intellectuals and religious leaders were fearful that, because of the printing press, books would overload the population with information and ideas. And there was a scientist called Conrad Gessner. He lived around 1550 in there. He warned that the flood of information was going to be confusing and harmful coming from books that most people couldn't handle it. And we have to think of the quality of information that are pulling in the intended use. And so we have to, you know, get really chunky on what's the what is the good use of this tool, this new technology, and what is the harmful use, and don't confuse and conflate the two. And make sure that we're being pretty honest when we consider these things. Dave  28:08Am I going to read a book about dinosaurs, or am I going to show pictures of dinosaurs and talk about it, okay? And this is one thing people should think about. Talk about visualization. One sugar cube is roughly four grams. The number of sugar cubes on different things. The highest one was the Tim Hortons candy cane hot chocolate.  Tim  28:28Yeah, how many sugar cubes?  Dave 28:3116Tim 28:3116?Dave 28:32In one cup. Tim 28:33Yeah, so that's… Dave  28:3364.Tim 28:3364 grams… that's  a quarter of a cup. So you don't, are you gonna put a, would you sit down with a spoon or a straw and drink a quarter cup of sugar? Probably not. Dave  28:46But, and so when I look at when I look at when I go, if I go shopping, and I look at the gram, because being diabetic, you gotta see how much is the sugar. I mean, I can visualize when I say what it says, 16 grams of sugar. I say, hold it. Like one cookie is 16 grams of sugar. It's like a muffin is 30 grams of sugar. You say, What is 30 grams? I can tell you what 30 grams is, it's seven and a half sugar cubes. I say, Oh, crap, I can't eat that.  Tim  29:11You're gonna be a lot better off translate Dave  29:13Things that sort of, you can remember so to speak. Tim  29:16Yeah, yeah. We used to say speak in people's currency, because working with, if I'm working with one of my very first regional management jobs with was with a large scale food manufacturer, and I would be talking about waste, and if you're talking in dollars and cents, that didn't mean a lot to people on the line. But if I said we're throwing out the equivalent of two dump trucks full of dough every week. That's what we're after. That's what we're chasing. And that meant something to them, because they could visualize a dump truck full of dough. Okay, Dave, last question, what would be something in life that you would be one business that you would be just curious about asking a stranger, that you could get some out of the box thinking with something you're interested in related to life or work or whatnot. What would you ask somebody? What would be a question that would be on your mind? Dave  30:14What are your goals in life here that you want to achieve? Because that determines what road you go down, that's your road map. What is your goal in life? What's the most important thing in life that you feel is something you would want to do? You got to be able to visualize things that comes to planning and everything else you know. And if you can do that, if you apply that same concept in your life and financial and everything else, if you know what the goal is, the quality falls into place, that's the philosophy of life.  Tim  30:43Well thanks very much for spending this time with me, Dave.

Episode 2231 – Kid AG reconnects with OG GDub in this boozy, brain-melting episode that swings between flashbacks, Guinness-fueled mornings, AI-generated ass art, and a trip down memory lane with some legendary GDS personalities. We hit everything from mammoth-sized memories of Karen's legendary tits to shady Bay City shootings, Facebook drama queens, nudify websites, and why the rise of AI might leave us all jerking it to synthetic supermodels. The guys talk retro rewinds, drunk girlfriends at Coyote Ugly, and the delicate etiquette of bathroom tipping (spoiler: piss everywhere). Plus: Helmet shows, Jason Aldean cash grabs, and a brand-new GDS side project featuring Paul Harvey-style voiceovers with dicks frozen to sidewalks. It's chaos, it's clever, it's classic Deep. - Listen in. Go Deep.

Episode 2230 (RR) –  It's May 2012, and The Goin' Deep Show Episode 1051 is a romp with Kid A.G., his wife Red, Silverback, and Hat Trick. Kid's plying Red with Scotch-Ale to keep her from bed, Silverback's flexing with junkyard chains, and Hat Trick's plotting a firetruck bangfest—ladder, cab, or bust. The crew's buzzing, phones out, and Red's reminiscing about spooning Kid's mahogany morning wood. It's a rare in-studio Red sighting, and she's spilling tea on grab-ass Halloween parties and a forgotten gymnastic sex sesh Kid can't recall—handstands, swings, and all. Hat Trick's crowing about her tattooed-chick Tumblr and the Kid is bragging up hitting 300K views, while Silverback's benching chains for badass photo ops—think Scooby-Doo clangs and gay dating profile vibes.  Hat Trick drops a bombshell: she was a band camp flag-twirler, virgin ‘til 18, then went full slutty redemption with a rando camper. She and a pal once bagged an entire hockey team—goalies to wingers—proving puck bunnies run deep. Meanwhile, Kid and Silverbackff ranting about Bobby Petrino's motorcycle crash with his 25-year-old sidepiece—Arkansas said “fuck him,” and GDS cheers the class. From husky pants trauma to adult-sized Big Wheels, this episode's a nostalgia-fueled, sex-obsessed riot. Whip out the wine, whipped cream and enjoy. Listen in. Go Deep

Episode 2229 (RR) –  The Goin' Deep Show hits with Episode 800 from March 2011, and it's a glorious mess of bodily functions, beer, and bad decisions. The Kid's leading the charge with JMac, Magnum, and Dimples McDonna, and they're celebrating 800 episodes of depravity by shedding a collective 59 pounds since January—enough to lose a small child or, as they claim, G-Dub's dick. New shirts have them feeling vain as hell, but the real meat of this milestone is pure GDS chaos. The Kid kicks it off with a tale of accidental porn terrorism: firing up Xshare.com on his iPad for a beat-off sesh, only to realize the audio's blasting through the house speakers—right where his daughter's watching TV. Birds chirping? Nope, just a chick getting railed, serenading the living room. Meanwhile, Dimples drops the mic with her infamous “shitting on the way home from Meijer” saga—groceries in the trunk, tears in her eyes, and so much creamy crap it oozes out her jeans, leaving her sobbing in the shower and scrubbing car seats. J-Mac's no slouch either, tied to an Urban Dictionary gem: banging a girl, scraping shit into a snowball, and hurling it in her face. Classy. Magnum revives the Urban Dictionary bit, dubbing The Kid a suave pimp, Dimples a heart-stopping goddess, and herself a no-shit-taking badass. Then there's a surprise call to Bob, who relives J-Mac's legendary overpass shitting story—phone glowing blue as it tumbles down, shit on his hands, and a Hooters prelude for good measure. Beer flows ( mini-kegs!), potty humor reigns, and this 800th episode proves GDS hasn't matured a damn bit since day one.  LIsten in - Go Deep! Original Release Date: March 8, 2011 - Episode 800

Episode 2228 (RR) – Step into the time machine, folks—it's March 2014, and The Goin' Deep Show Episode 2228 (retro rewinding Episode 1219) is a booze-soaked, Bible-thumping, porn-obsessed riot. Kid A.G.'s pounding Sierra Nevada IPA, Don Tang's on Kroger Cola life support, Wally's phoning in from the mitten's tip, and G-Dub's mixing sweet tea vodka with Honey Jack like a redneck mixologist. They're tearing into a Creationist Museum clown blowing $73 million on a 500-foot ark—Kid's cackling at vegetarian lions, Wally's got Noah drunk and balls-out, and the whole crew's pitching an animated Anti-Bible series for kids. Blasphemy's the appetizer here. The main course? A reality show called Torture—starve Biggest Loser dropouts in grocery stores, strand AA vets in bars, and tempt newlyweds with lingerie models, all for betting pools on who cracks. But the dessert steals the show: Kid's stumbled onto a porn flick where a chick collects her roommate's jizz to freeze into an ice dildo, then slaps Brandi Love with it in a titty-smacking, faux-blowjob frenzy. The gang's jaws drop—part genius, part “what the fuck?” Toss in some Hillary Clinton hate (vagina = disqualified), spank bank droughts, and a “beer on boobies” Tumblr shoutout, and you've got GDS at its filthy, unhinged peak. Praise the lord and pass the lube. Listen in. Go Deep!  Original Release Date: March 11, 2014 - Episode 1219

You might think you're eating clean and healthy, yet still struggle with bloating, fatigue, or other symptoms. Some say, *“Do an elimination diet,”* while others say, *“Avoid gluten, dairy, nuts…”* But what works for one person might not work for another! Last night, I had a revelation I *must* share with you! I ate a handful of mixed nuts before bed, and suddenly—my heart was racing, I had palpitations, and I couldn't sleep. That's when it hit me… instead of guessing, there's a simple way to test which foods are right for *your* body. Here's how: 1️⃣ Measure your heart rate before eating. 2️⃣ Take a small piece of food (like one almond) and hold it in your mouth for 30 seconds. 3️⃣ Measure your heart rate again. If it increases by **6 beats or more**, that food may not be right for you! Try it out and let me know your results in the comments! And if this was helpful, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

Kid A.G. hauls back the one and only Hat Trick, to ram a lesson down your stupid throats on how it's fucking done. This weathered podcast vet plops her ass down for a balls-deep hour-long GDS to rant about the usual filth: banging like rabid dogs, blowing like a damn hurricane, and more twisted shit. She's still hellbent on fucking loud on a firetruck, plus she's mouthing off about threesomes, bootycalls, road head, jacking off, squirting, pity fucks for the pathetic, backup dick on call, flowers from the saps, and social media crap. We even toss in a Hottie of the Week. This hour-long episode, recorded March 12, 2025, is a must-listen. Go Deep!

Kid A.G. is back in the saddle, and he's not alone! He's joined by the freshly minted Red Eye, and they've brought along a new mischief-maker, Blood Siren. They plunge right into the juicy bits, exploring how Siren stumbled upon her latest, let's say, "unconventional" hobby, giving the GDS a run for its money in the kink department. Feeling a bit left behind in the kink-o-meter, Kid decides it's time to step up his game, especially after seeing how our recent guests have been swinging from the chandeliers.  Red Eye, meanwhile, dishes out the tea on how she's been playing hard to get with the wang, but hey, who can resist a little snootchy-snatch now and then? The trio then does the "cum-count" - yep, you heard that right - and chats about "shark week," where the ladies drop the bomb that boys can squirt post-blast, leaving everyone in stitches. Kid takes a nostalgic trip down memory lane, recounting the time his high school sweetheart turned prom night into a scene from "Carrie" with his Joker grin. Spoiler: it didn't ignite his passion for blood play. He also shares his latest self-cock-blocking technique, involving a new screen protector. Let's just say, morning wood has never been so tech-savvy. Blood Siren stirs the pot by bringing up wet dreams, which naturally leads to a chat about blue balls and what she calls a "throbbing kitty." They delve into how to navigate those kinky conversations with your partner without scaring them off. And Red Eye? She's been pushing boundaries so far, you'll need to tune in for the full, uncensored scoop on her adventures in kinkland.  So, grab your popcorn, or whatever you grab when you're about to hear some wild tales, and tune in for a show that's as entertaining as it is eyebrow-raising! Listen in. Go Deep! Recorded: January 21, 2025 On Mic: Kid A.G., Red Eye II, Blood Siren

Time for the shitstorm called The Goin' Deep Show.   Kid and El Pres start off like they're gonna talk about something legit, maybe AI or some financial scam, but then, BAM! They're phone calling someone on their birthday.  AI Wishes: They want an AI that's not just smart but has the balls to tell it like it is, one that can roast you harder than a marshmallow at a bonfire. "Hey AI, make me sound like Sinatra, but with more fuck you!" That's their vibe. But here's the kicker, they're paranoid this AI might get too big for its britches, start thinking it's better than us, like some robotic version of a know-it-all, but without the charm. The nostalgia trip: The hosts reminiscing about the good old days when they could just shoot the shit, talk about anything, from porn to porn stars, without anyone getting their panties in a twist. But now, they're all sentimental, getting soft in their old age.  Getting Juicy: They start talking about women, titties, and strip clubs like it's the weather forecast. "Oh, the titties used to fly when I was married!"  So, what's the moral of this episode? Life's too short for filters. Even for your stupid ugly faces.  The GDS keeps it raw, just like your old days... well, just like it should be. They want their AI with a side of asshole, their conversations with a dash of debauchery, and their show to be a ride through the crazy, unfiltered side of life. And you know what? I'm here for it. Because if you can't laugh at the absurdity of life, what can you laugh at?

In episode 164 Steph is co-hosting again with Lindsay Taylor of Travel Leaders 365. Have a look at the questions below that they cover in this rich and informative edition of the Friday 15! 1. Hi Steph. I worked as a Travel Manager at my previous company, however, it was a created position and I used a combination of Concur, Expedia, Hotels.com, National Car rental and all the other sites. I loved this position but it all went away during Covid. Now, I'd like to get back into it but everything I'm interested in requires some Sabre experience. I know it's easy and I know I could do it but do you think it's worth taking the 60 hour course with The Travel Institute? Is there a better place to obtain this training? It could add a few lines on my resume and I'm great with self-study. $149 doesn't seem high for getting some experience. What are your thoughts? Thanks for your time! :) —Anonymous 2. Hi Steph. I have a diploma from Penn Foster and when I look at the CTA, I feel like I've already done all of the same lessons. Is it better to have one of these certifications over the diploma I've already received? Are these just better recognized and received by people in the industry and clients? It seems like these have a more elevated status over my diploma. Is that the case? —Anonymous 3. I refunded a non refundable ticket by accident. The agency paid it back but now I'm on the hook for over $6000. The airline does not reverse the transaction so the traveler has a credit. Have you ever worked with this? I would like to find out how this is even legal? ---Anonymous RESOURCES: https://hostagencyreviews.com/blog/what-is-gds (In-depth information on what the GDS, global distribution system, is and which travel advisors use it.) https://www.thetravelinstitute.com/product/sabre-personal-trainer/ (Travel Institute's program) https://hostagencyreviews.com/blog/become-corporate-travel-agent (Tips on how to become a corporate travel agent.) https://hostagencyreviews.com/travelagentchatter/molly-williams-the-optimists-travel (TAC episode with Molly Williams. https://hostagencyreviews.com/blog/travel-agent-certification (What travel agent certification is and isn't.

I work as an independent contractor so I already have an LLC for non travel related business. I was wondering if I could just add a "second" DBA and use the same LLC to start the travel business but continue to work on my full time job as another name. So basically 2 DBAs under one LLC? I live in Florida. Thanks! —Anonymous 2. Hello, so I live in the US and want to help people in Guyana, South America purchase flights to travel to and from the US and charge a small fee. I want to use sites like Priceline and Expedia and Booking to purchase the flights. Sort of an off the books business. Is this possible? —Mike S. 3. Hi, I'm curious about startup/yearly/monthly fees. I keep reading that it's a red flag if a travel host charges. In your opinion and experience, what do you want to look for when searching for a host? Thanks! –Jamie K.

Do the airlines still give commissions on flights? If not, what is the benefit of an $2300 ARC #? —Anonymous 2. Hello! I have a quick question about workflows. If you have a travel services agreement, is it better to have clients sign that before or after you send quotes/proposals? I don't want to scare clients away before they see options, but I also don't want to waste my time! —Kristin R.

In episode 160 Steph is co-hosting with April Swales of Uniglobe! Please join us as this dynamic duo tackles a couple of important questions! 1. I was wondering if I could pick your brain a little about the current status of the industry, the possibilities of finding someone interested in buying an agency, and what makes a travel agency attractive for a potential buyer. My mother isn't ready to stop working as an agent and loves helping her clients but I could see it being a good exit strategy for her in the near future. —Nathan 2. I went to an actual school in 1988 on the Sabre system. Do you know if there are courses that might bring me up to speed & how much they cost? I spoke with IATAN & ARC today. It's not as expensive as I thought it'd be but I'd still like to start off maybe working with a national agency for a while first.

In episode 149 Steph co-hosts with April Swales of Uniglobe. Here are the questions they'll cover. Got some fun ones this week!  1. How do HAR courses differ from an IATA course or something offered through a host agency? –Anonymous 2. Hello HAR and team! I have a question about commissions. For travel agents based in Europe, as far as I know most airlines do not pay any commission. But it seems to me that this is not the case for TAs based elsewhere. I am asking this because I just got my IATA accreditation, and my business is mostly flight consulting. But I do this for clients based worldwide. 3. Most travel agents where I am from have to add a ticketing fee to their customers, and if they sell flight only then their only revenue will be that fee. In the end, if I don't get any commission from airlines, what is my benefit in using a GDS?
