This week, Mark and Allen break down the Episode that introduces the one and only Janet Snakehole!  Leslie and Ron are traveling to Indianapolis to receive a commendation for reestablishing the Pawnee Harvest Festival, even though Ron only cares about eating at his favorite restaurant, Charles Mulligan's Steak House. Ann tells Leslie her last talk with Chris seemed reassuring, but (now in Indianapolis) he's grown distant, and she's worried he's cheating on her. Promising to poke around and see what's going on, Leslie and Ron visit Chris' apartment, where Leslie discovers a woman's razor and pink swimming cap in the bathroom. Hearing this, Ann drives up to Indianapolis to confront Chris. To Ron's horror, Mulligan's Steakhouse has been shut down by the health department, so Chris invites everyone back to his place for food. To Ron's further horror, Chris prepares vegetarian dishes, Ron threatens to pass out in hunger and despair, and then Ann storms in and demands an explanation for the things Leslie found!  Meanwhile, back in Pawnee, Tom is attending a launch party for cologne maker Dennis Feinstein at the Snakehole Lounge, where Tom hopes to pitch his own cologne "Tommy Fresh". Since Ben's job requires him to move a lot, he turns down the invitation, not wanting to get too attached to anybody. However, Ben relents when Tom invites him again at Leslie's urging. Meanwhile, April and Andy are now dating, and April suggests they go to Tom's launch party. When they get there, Andy becomes bummed out, realizing he is broke and unable to buy anything, embarrassed to admit this to April. Tom approaches Dennis, who insults "Tommy Fresh" and quickly dismisses Tom.  We brave the onslaught of questions, such as ... Have Tom's perfumery dreams been destroyed? Will Leslie receive her commendation? What will April and Andy do on their date with no money? Does Chris explain what is going on? Is Ben really one of the gang, or is the gang just being polite? Can Ron recover from the Mulligan's Steakhouse debacle? How will they get back at Dennis Feinstein?  Grab a Tommy-tini and relax, podcast viewers... this will be a great one!  Many thanks to our paid Public Service Announcement entitled "MoM" (Memories of Mulligan's).

A few months back, I came across Ben's Burgers social media video that really caught my attention.  It was an ad, but in the form of a very creative rap using the beat from UNLV's 'Drag em in the river." Ben and I finally had the opportunity to catch up and talk about how he got started in the business, his menu, and behind his very creative social media content. Since Ben is from the NOLA area, we talk about the Saints too!  Do you think Ben is pulling for Jameis Winston or Taysom Hill to be the starting QB this year?

On the 14th November 2020, at the age of 30, Lotte became a widow, after her soul mate, Ben Khouizter, died of Covid 19 in a Mexican hospital, where they had courageously travelled against all odds - to receive cancer treatment for a diagnosis they were told was terminal in August. Lotte and Ben’s love, bravery and earth shattering pursuit to save his life, knew no bounds. Ben was 36, he was one of the most universally loved people on this Earth. Their story was one that captured the hearts and support of thousands of people all over the world who were willing him back to health. The profundity of his death has been felt on every corner of the planet. Lotte’s story is one which tells of the unique and quantum loss of her Ben, but it also speaks to the ‘distinctly’ cruel and isolated process of loss and grief that millions of people around the world are experiencing, as a result of the Covid 19 pandemic. Since Ben’s passing…Lotte has committed herself to laying the raw and visceral narration of her grief open, and in doing so it has provided a witness statement to these very early, wild and raw stages of grief, that are normally experienced behind the veil of people's most hidden lives. So, this conversation is a rare and privileged window into the very early days and weeks after loss. Lotte’s story truly tells us of the limitless love and courage that grieving hearts can hold. So if the world is feeling like a dark or difficult place, join us and let your heart be ignited by the fire of the human spirit.

Ian Korf was our guest for this podcast.  Ian is an amateur racer and driving instructor when at the track, as well as the author of the book “You Suck At Racing” that is aimed at helping newer drivers progress, as well as his similarly titled blog.  Ian and Ben have raced together for several years on the west coast and obviously have had more than a few stories to share.  In spite of Ian have a well thought out and logical approach, he still enjoys racing as much as anyone we have met. Since Ben was on, we took this opportunity to have a live Dominating with Dawson with Ian as a special guest.  For this Dominating with Dawson segment, we went into You can find Ian’s book at:  https://www.amazon.com/You-Suck-Racing-course-novice/dp/153318562X/ We hope you enjoy this episode! Best regards,   Vicki, Jennifer, Alan, and Bill Hosts of the Garage Heroes In Training Podcast and Garage Heroes In Training racing team drivers   Highlights from this episode include: 1)  Vicki and Ian may have already met online gaming.  Still TBD. 2)  How his interest in driving started and how his blog progressed from examining racetrack incidents and eventually transitioned and led to the book.  It was that lure of the $500 race car. 3)  Ian went into his low-cost racing Yaris and how he has managed to find a way to actually make racing relatively inexpensive.  Does anyone have or know of a lower cost option?  We would love to know. 4)  Plywood splitters?  Absolutely.  This is almost low budget racing OEM equipment. 5)  Ian may have accomplished two things that we have been searching far.  His Yaris may be the car that races everywhere and more surprisingly, he may have more spreadsheets about racing than Bill.  Still TBD at this point, lol. 6)  We then discuss how to get people started in driving, both those that have interest and those who don’t.  The track is so much more fun and a way safer way to enjoy your car. 7)  The difference in helping novice drivers grow within our sport and how it is different, sometimes vastly different for intermediate drivers. 8)  Apparently Ian has zero black flags in his entire career.  I am 100% sure that none of us can say the same. 9)  Ian also goes into several ways to gain skills while off track, at least in meat space.  How virtual racing can assist in your driving. 10)  Breaking news related to an update of the book and potential expansion to intermediate drivers, including data. 11)  Why poker is a game of imperfect information and how racing is a game of imperfect amount of practice. 12)  Ian has a series of drills and we weren’t smart enough to ask what they area.  We will have to get together again.  One we did get was to drive the track without using the brakes at all.  Zero braking.  Hopefully, we can get a section on the next book. 13)  Bill sucks up to Ian and asks to help with the book.

Happy Holidays! Thanks to all our loyal listeners we love you guys. This podcast would not exist without you. --Consider supporting us on Patreon: https://bit.ly/2Dfa4iv ------------------------------- These segments were handpicked by one of our Patreons. First we talk about Jesse James Hollywood. A little suburban badass who was owed money by a Kid Rock lookalike named Ben Markowitz. Since Ben wasn't paying his drug debt, Jesse decided to kidnap Ben's younger brother Nick as collateral. It was supposed to be a fairly harmless operation... however it didn't end up that way. Next we talk about the case of the "Robinhood Rabbi", Joseph Prushinowski. An orthodox Jew, Prushinowski defrauded numerous financial institutions out of millions of dollars. The twist in this story is that Prushinowski did not seem to personally benefit from any of these illicit activities. It is believed that he literally stole from the rich and gave to the poor, in this case, his orthodox Jewish community. ------------------------------- For more Josh and Mike, check out our YouTube channels!

Mary Payne has one of her dream guests on this episode, Ben Mandelker! Ben is one of the hosts of Watch What Crappens, a recap podcast about Bravo TV shows—and he recently created a podcast about Game of Thrones: Winter is Crappening. Ben shares with Mary Payne why Real Housewives of New York is his favorite show to discuss on the Watch What Crappens and he also shares with her which of the Bravo TV shows is not at the top of his list. The two also laugh at Ben and his co-host, Ronnie Karam’s, favorite voice impressions that they do on the show. Many podcast listeners feel like they could be great friends with the host(s) of the show. Since Ben and Ronnie do live shows as a part of their podcast, he and Mary Payne discuss this relationship that podcast hosts have with their listeners and where the line needs to be drawn in that “one-way relationship”. As his passion project, Ben started a Youtube channel called Real Housewares of Kitchen Island. It’s about the lives of some kitchen utensils in an animated format, and is a tribute to his passion for writing! Make sure to check it out.

Since Ben and Brooke don't watch Game of Thrones, Tim turned to some co-workers to break down GOT Season 8's 3rd episode called The Long Night. SPOILER ALERT Lots of details about what happened and who died in this podcast. Don't listen if you haven't seen the episode yet. Recorded Monday April 29, 2018 with Tim Hattrick, Diane Johnson, Cole Hanson and Kate Armstrong

The show opens with a discussion of the new videogame Fortnight that Ben's kids are obsessed with. The guys briefly comment on a recent Do By Friday episode before talking about their recent travels. Since Ben was recently in Washington, he can't avoid talking about hockey and the Stanley Cup. The food safety talk begins in earnest when the guys talk about the sad and untimely death of chef Anthony Bourdain. The guys reminisce about him before shamelessly plugging their upcoming live podcast at the Food Law Seminar at Michigan State. The Multistate Outbreak of Salmonella Adelaide Infections Linked to Pre-Cut Melon is in the news, and that's the next topic for discussion. A grab bag silly food safety topics rounds out the episode including Salmonella at Caffe Nero, cooking hotdogs on your snowmobile, the dangers of eating squid sperm, and the risks of tampering with food.

Since Ben just read the entire 8 year comic strip in two days, he and Hank sit down to talk about it. Hank's been reading it since it's start, and has read a bunch of other comics by the writer/artist David M Willis. Dumbing of Age is reboot of characters Willis had created over his career up to that point, so Hanks sprinkles in some details about that stuff along the way. http://www.dumbingofage.com/ Email: SaltCirclePodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @SaltCirclePod Hank's Twitter: @ComicPanels Ben's Twitter: @Bean_LP Logo Artist: bellamy.world/

I have conflicting feelings with this discussion. My greedy side absolutely loves to know this happened as it provides such a great learning opportunity for others; however, I truly do feel bad and annoyed that this actually happened to such a nice guy. Community member Ben, “close2pga” (chat room alias), walks us through his journey and how at the start he was mislead into thinking someone could shove their personal strategy down his throat in order to teach him how to trade. This is one of those marketing ploys that drives me nuts. First, it’s simply false and misleading and second, it gives the rest of us (myself included) a bad name as being scum bags. I digress though. Ben’s willpower and determination to bounce back from this initial hiccup I found very inspiring and I’m sure you will too. Ben is a business owner himself, so he offers up some solid perspectives on market dynamics and trading that will I believe offer great value. Let’s get to it! Notes: Today we interview Ben who goes by close2pga in the community. Ben is an avid golfer who gets out almost 2 times a week and also owns a driving range. Since he leases the land his business sits on, there came a time when he thought that lease would not be able to renewed which led him to look into other sources of income. Ben started looking into various online education for trading and while some of it was good, it pushed him into trading one single way. This is absolutely not a one-size-fits-all job. He had about 6 months to learn how to trade and that pressure did not help him with his learning. After finding Clay, Ben decided to go through the University program and has now put those other two education sources aside. He has noticed what triggers bad habits such as chasing price or not honoring his stop loss and has found remedies for those issues. Since Ben no longer has the pressure of time since he has no issues with his lease, he is now utilizing his patience and persistence to get through the educational content. Not only does he not have the pressure to succeed in a new line of business in 6 months, he is now set up for success by having the guaranteed trade (his JOB) to keep him even keeled as he proceeds through the program. Quotes: It looked like I was going to be forced out of my business. I knew I would have a hard time getting a regular job after working for myself. I really put in my head that I needed to make another living in less than 6 months. It was not good to put that pressure on myself. I noticed that my scanner pulled up momentum stocks that I might just jump into it. How can I stop this? Get rid of the scanner. It’s not the money per say. The freedom to have time during the day is what I’d like.

It’s empathy. It’s humility. It’s fear. It’s part of being human. Today’s guest, Ben Parr, discusses all of the different reasons behind why we perceive people the way we do and just how those unconscious perceptions shape our society today. Ben is the founder of Octane AI and author of Captivology: The Science of Capturing People’s Attention, making Ben no stranger to the way people act, react, and interact. Since Ben has always had a heart for others, he created a system to make the lives of company owners just a bit easier. Octane AI allows business owners everywhere to automatically respond to their incoming social media messages with the help of a Chatbot. This helps keeps both businesses and their customers happy. At the end of the day, it all comes back to the people. How they feel-- what they think-- and how small positive experiences can add up to make a world of change.

Since Ben's still lost in the Gamma Quadrant, we brought on another Star Trek expert to help us discuss the Season 2 episode, "Rivals", which sees Quark struggling to compete with a Ted McGinley look alike! Also, Poey and Vince discuss the value of fast food hot dogs, which member of the podcast is really the best at basketball, and we all try to control ourselves as we discuss the manliness that is a shirtless O'Brien.
