Hosts: The one and only Kid A.G., joined by Duke, and the debut firecracker, Queen B. The Spice of Life (and Other Parts): Kid A.G. and crew jump right into the deep end with jalapeno mishaps that are definitely NSFW. Queen B gives us a hot take on cooking disasters that'll have you rethinking your kitchen safety – or lack thereof. Be prepared for a tale of spice, pain, and some unexpected intimate fire fighting. Call Me, Maybe Not: In an age of texting, Duke reminisces about the good ol' days of actual phone conversations. Yeah, remember those? Apparently, Duke does, and he's not letting them go without a fight. But don't call him; he'll call you. Midnight Mishaps on Midland Street: Kid A.G. recounts his epic trek to Midland Street, not just for exercise, but for those dangerously addictive Little Caesars Crazy Puffs. What follows is a bar-hopping saga with unexpected advances and unasked-for anatomy lessons. Yes, it gets weirder and wilder than a night at the circus. Jalapeno Don'ts: Let's just say things get a bit… heated. A culinary experiment turns into a lesson on why gloves are a must-have in the kitchen – and maybe even in the bathroom. If you've ever doubted the importance of kitchen safety, Queen B's fiery fiasco will set you straight – straight to the emergency shower, that is! Concerts, Calls, and Territory Claims: The gang tackles everything from upcoming concerts to the territorial games people play. It's all fun and games until someone gets too clingy. Remember, folks, just because your bartender calls you ‘honey' doesn't mean you're special. Final Words of Wisdom: Don't be a “jalapeno hero” in the kitchen or with your life choices. And as much as a two-girl sandwich at the bar sounds like a dream, sometimes it's just a recipe for disaster.

Dr. Frances Mei Hardin, MD is an otolaryngologist and avid physician wellness advocate. She created the brand Rethinking Residency to provide concrete, effective resources for resident physicians, fellows and medical students. The skills she writes about are evidence-based DBT-informed skills, customized specifically for the unique population of young physicians and physicians in training. During this brief conversation we try to tackle what is wrong with medical training to lead to such a challenging environment. Dr. Hardin states that the residency training phenomenon has to break the cyclical bullying model for us to improve and do better, consider the fact that maybe the socratic method is being used wrong. It's not about grilling and pimping you it's a method where questions are asked bi-directionally to improve knowledge! If we can pause for a moment, acknowledge our anger and embrace it, we can deeply understand its true roots. If we can take care of our own anger instead of focusing on the other person, we can get immediate relief. And how right that is! In our short conversation we discuss interpersonal effectiveness and ways to address distress tolerance and emotional regulation. Dr. Hardin is a fan of stoicism and some of her favorite quotes are: " We cannot ensure success, but we can deserve it". (stoic teaching, from a famous play about Cato) "All cruelty springs from weakness". (stoic teaching - Seneca) "And you're right: this internship has been like the stuff of dreams, like the overpowering nightmares of childhood: aggression, fear of retaliation, and then the resolution, where you don't win, you live."(The House of God) "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves." (Victor Frankl) Pearls of Wisdom: “Don't lament so much about how your career is going to turn out. You don't have a career, you have a life” Cheryl Trade Keep a spirit list and fill it with items that keep you most connected with yourself. During this match time important to reminder “We cannot ensure success but we can deserve it"- Cato Her Happy Place: “Divorce Beach" in Cabo -its not always filled with people. There's solitude!

Hi there, my wise friends. And welcome back to a brand new season of Collective Wisdom. I took a bit of a break over Christmas and the new year to rest up and recharge my batteries. And I have to say I really missed you all, both the messages in my inbox from people around the world and the conversations I get to have with inspiring humans making a real difference in their communities and beyond. So, I'm really excited to be getting back into the latest round, which as International Women's Day is just around the corner on March 8th, I thought I'd dedicate the whole of season nine to some truly inspirational women.   So, this season, we're delving into the important issue of equity and equality, and why it's crucial to have equal representation and opportunities for all women in all aspects of society. We'll hear from women who have overcome adversity and shattered barriers in their fields and learn about the challenges they faced along the way will hopefully let their stories inspire us to continue fighting for a more equal and just future for all women.   We're kicking off with a talented designer and creative brain behind the brand Umutoni Jewellery. Umutoni shares the story of her brand and its mission to empower artisans from Kibera, the largest slum in Kenya, through the creation and global sale of their unique and beautiful jewellery. By working with these artisans and providing them with a platform to showcase their talents Umutoni not only helps to elevate their craft, but also helps to break down barriers and challenge stereotypes about life in the slums. It's a story of creativity, entrepreneurship and social impact that's making a real difference in the world.   Umutoni Jewellery   Song: ‘I'm going to be ready by Yolanda Adams'   Wisdom: Don't be afraid to ask for the help you need.

Dr. Alexis Hugelmeyer is a self-described coffee-drinking, beach-loving traveler, wife, mama-of-three, professor, and Board-Certified Family & Osteopathic Medicine Physician. She currently practices in her Osteopathic & Lifestyle Medicine practice as well as hospitalist in North Carolina. In this episode, Dr Hugelmeyer tells us all about her reset journey when she and her family moved 600 miles to revamp the life they were living to better serve them. We dive into the challenges and also the supports. In making this pivot, she is now able to connect with who she really is, the things that got pushed aside when her life became overwhelming. She knew there had to be a "better way" and she intentionally started to design that for herself and her family. There are so many places you will want to re-wind and listen again as we discuss the benefits of the changes she made. Pearls of Well-being Wisdom: Don't keep waiting! Your Reset doesn't have to be a 600 mile move- it can start with just deciding to tell someone you need something different. Write your plans in pencil and be willing to try something different- life is too short ... and many more...listen in for how they broke down their decision to move and ways to determine what you want and what you are willing to do to get it.

Hey there Wonderlings, Happy Back to School Day, I know, I know, booo! But I thought we’d kick off the new school year with a Back to School Wonder Years Special with three episodes Season 3 Episode 2 Math Class, Season 4 Episode 1 Ninth Grade Man, and Season 5 Episode 2 Day One. In these three episodes we see Kevin facing a new school year and the trials that come with it starting a new grade, new challenging teachers, new bullies, new friends and new girls. Let’s kick this special off with the first of the three episodes S3E2: Math Class which aired on October 10, 1989. Time for my Flower Power Episode Rating: I’m giving it 3 out of 5 Flower Power Petals 1. Kevin starting a new school year and we get two see some new teachers. 2. Kevin actually struggling at something and making him seem relatable to young viewers who also may struggle in school. 3. For Jack encouraging Kevin throughout the episode and then helping Kevin during the close out scene. I knocked two flower power petals off because of Kevin hassling Paul about his high Math grade and also because he crossed the line with his friendship with Paul by almost cheating off his paper. Paul look of hurt and betrayal that his friend would resort to that is sad especially after he offered to study with Kevin and Kevin turned him down. My Wonderling Words of Wisdom for this episode: Just because you need a tutor or ask for extra help in a class doesn’t make you stupid or less of a person it just means you’re not giving up and you’re willing to do whatever it takes to improve and better yourself. Alright let’s move on to S4E2: Ninth Grade Man which aired on September 26, 1990. Time for my Flower Power Episode Rating: I’m giving this episode 2 out of 5 Flower Power Petals: 1. For Kevin being a good comforting boyfriend to Winnie calming her fears of a new school. 2. For Kevin being a good comforting friend to Paul. I knocked off 3 flower power petals for Becky Slater’s vendetta against Kevin and men in general adding to the misery of his first day ex. Pouring milk on his lunch and slugging him in the stomach. The introduction to Madeline the harpie who I feel breaks up Kevin and Winnie or at least contributes to the downfall of their relationship. The damn P.E. teacher for just laughing and shaking her head at Kevin when Becky slugs him in the stomach. What the hell!! My Wonderling Words of Wisdom: Don’t worry if your first day of school is a flop you still have 9 months to make it better or at least maybe have a better day. Let’s move on to our last Back to School episode S5E2: Day One which aired on October 9, 1991. Time for my Flower Power Episode Rating: I’m giving it 3 out of 5 Flower Power Petals: 1. For Stuart Carpazian. He’s awesome. 2. Paul’s cut off sleeved sweatshirt and no glasses.Love that. 3. Kevin and the classe’s revolt against Botner. I knocked two off because of Botner and because of Kevin whining of how high school wasn’t what junior high used to be. Wait a minute didn’t he complain about 9th grade too. My Wonderling Words of Wsidom: High School supposedly being the best year of some people’s lives but not all. My high school years sucked big time and I would never want to go back especially with the way schools are today. Take each day as it comes and make the best of it and know your best days are yet to come. All right Wonderlings this is the last podcast episode for now. See you in October!

Hey Wonderlings, Happy Friday! How’s everyone been? Have you had a good week. Ok, so today I’m covering Season 2 Episode 12 Fate which aired on March 28, 1989. In this episode Kevin is still dealing with the aftermath of the last episode Nemesis where he was talking behind everyone’s backs especially Winnie’s so she of course is still extremely pissed at him. Enter one Eddie Pinetti a leather jacket wearing tough guy complete with two cronie hench on either side of him. He’s got it out for Kevin and plans to make his life a living hell but what’s worse is he’s set his sights on Winnie and she doesn’t seem to mind because they end up dating. UGH! Why Winnie, that’s like a hundred steps down from Kirk McCray. Time for my flower power episode rating: I’m giving it 5 out of 5 flower power petals 1. Kevin finally standing up to the bully 2. Paul standing with Kevin 3. Diperna getting after eddie, honestly he should have just kicked him out of school. 4. Kevin defending Winnie’s honor 5. Kevin and Winnie make up and they and Paul help Kevin get home. Wonderling Words of Wisdom: Don’t ever try to fight a bully on your own, get someone, a teacher somebody, I have no idea what it’s like in schools now, but I’m glad they have the antibullying law and no bully zone in schools. Too bad they didn’t do this years ago.

Welcome Wonderlings, Happy Friday Everyone, let’s get ready to fire up that grill and throw some burgers on, or head out to the lake for some boating action as we soak up some sun. Whatever you’re doing this weekend, take me along. Today I’m reviewing S2E11: Nemesis which aired on March 14, 1989 where we see Kevin learn a valuable lesson about talking behind somebody’s or in his case a lot of somebody’s backs. Ole Kevin running off at the mouth apparently doesn’t know when to keep his trap shut. He should have taken ques from Thumper “if you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all.” Because that shit has a way of getting back to you in the end and bites you in the ass. Now it’s time for my flower power episode rating: I’m giving it 5 out of 5 flower power petals. 1. Kevin taking care of Winnie when she was sick. 2. Kevin telling Paul to make fun of him to make Paul feel better. 3. The kids calling Kevin out when they find out he made fun of them. 4. Norma giving Kevin advice. 5. Winnie laying into Kevin when she finds out he made fun of her, then she impersonates him. Classic hilarity. Wonderling Words of Wisdom: Don’t talk bad about people, because it has a way of coming back to you. As they say what goes around, comes around. And as Thumper says if you can’t say something nice don’t say nuthin at all. I want to give a sincere thank to all you listeners out there whether you listen to this podcast on Itunes or Soundcloud or any other listening platforms that you may use to hear this podcast. I love giving you the episode recaps of The Wonder Years every week joining me as I go into full detail as we reminisce of days gone by with Kevin and his friends Paul and Winnie, and the rest of the Arnold family. as well as giving my occasional running commentary and childhood stories.

This plan backfires when he realizes that Winnie is now seeing Eddie. Have a great weekend everyone, enjoy the sunshine.

While one of the coolest features of the podcasts is the ability to time shift. I can record this on 4/2 and you can listen to it years later. There is one element missing in this and this is live feedback. You get feedback, but it is later when your audience consumes it. Like most things, the more features you add to a product, the more complex it gets. Taking (and recording) phone calls is one of those things that its hard to do without adding more mixers, cables, etc. Join in on the conversation by dialing 888-563-3228 First Words of Wisdom: Don't Do This Unless you REALLY want to do this, don't. You will need to (more than likely) pick a time when your audience knows you will be there. Keep in mind when you first start out, you DON'T HAVE AN AUDIENCE YET. So you will be adding extra complexities that will burn you out as a new podcaster and make you want to quit. How The Stars Take Phone Calls on Their Podcast: You Call Them I know Jillian Michaels will announce on her Facebook page when she will be in the studio recording her calls. If you are free during that time you send her staff and email with your name and your question. They call you, and get you on the show. I believe Ice T does the same thing. A Free Way To Take Calls: Google Voice You can get a free phone number from Google (better known as Google Voice) and route that number to your smart phone (thus saving you from giving out your cell phone to the public). You then talk into your microphone and your phone at the same time. The microphone sends your voice into your mixer, and the phone sends your voice to the caller. To get the caller into your mixer,  you can use an 1/8" to a dual  1/4" cable (like this one - affiliate link). You then send the mix of you and your phone into your computer or portable recorder. The Good News: It's free and its easy to control. The Bad News: There is no cue (a line of callers visible to you). Also, as this is your cell phone your wife may call into the show. Reality: Not a bad option. The lack of cue is not an issue as you may not have any callers at first. Skype in Numbers: $60 a Year It's very hard to find pricing on the skype site. A forum post showed the price as $60 a year. Here again, you have no call "cue" and it is first come first serve. If someone has called in, the other callers will just here the phone ringing and ringing. The Good News: If you have a co-host this is an easy way to get everyone to hear everyone The Bad News: Adjust sound levels is very limited. You will more than likely become acquainted with The Levelator software (free) and Auphonic.com Call in Studio: An Inexpensive Call Cue Callinstudio.com charges .03 cents per minute for every caller (you can limit the number of people who can call in at the same time). The phone number is $6 a month. My most expensive show was around $8.00 for the episode (meaning $2 worth of callers). If you do an hour long show it will cost you $1.80 (.03 * 60 minutes).  In a nutshell it would take a LOT of calls to get close to the $40 that Blog Talk Radio charges. Connecting you to the caller. Here again, you can use you smart phone to call into the callinstudiocom. You can use Skype (free) to call into Callinstudio.com. You then take that sound and send it into your mixer. From your mixer into a recording device. You may have issues if you only have one computer. Sending sound (the caller) out of a computer and back into the same computer to record is the definition of feedback. You are feeding the sound of the caller back into the computer. This is where you need a mix minus. This means you send the sound of the mix (you and the caller) back into the computer minus the sound of the caller (this is where a portable recorder comes in nicely - you can have the main out go to the recorder and use an auxialry send to send the sound of just you to the caller. The Good News: You have a call cue. You can have a screener. You can call guest. The Bad News: You need an auxiliary send for everything you tie to the mixer. If its you and callers. You need an auxilary send on your mixer. If it is you, a co-host, and callers, you need two auxiliary sends. In other words, its getting complicated. its not impossible. But it gets complicated. Blog Talk Radio: A Pretty Call Cue Blog Talk Radio is working hard on updating their system. They have a beta system that produces CD quality sound. In a few months this will come out of beta. This is great. According to their website you can use their free account and have up to five callers. This may be the best solution for using their phone technology.  While they have made great strides, I would not use them as my primary platform at this point. My biggest issue is if you use them as a primary platform (per their terms) you HAVE To use their RSS feed (and there is on way to redirect it). Also when I played with  their free account I can't schedule a show between 7 and 10:30 PM. The shows are limited to 30 minutes. Blog Talk Radio DOES make recording easy, but it sounds like a phone. When they get their beta finished you will be able to connect directly from your computer. When you spend $40 a month you can do 2 hours of show a day. Most people don't need that much time. You also get advertising impressions. In general, it is my opinion that you are paying for lots of stuff you don't need. Tools To Stream Live Spreaker.com: Spreaker is a great media hosting provider that allows you to stream your show live. Their free service lets you do a 40 minute show whenever you want. You can store 10 hours of media. Their chat system is pretty cool. For $20 a month you can do a three hour show, and store up to 500 hours (basically 9.6 years if you do an hour a week). When you reach your limit you have to pull some shows (I'm assuming older) off. They provide stats on your downloads. You can record via browser, or smartphone app, tablets, etc. Mixlr.com Mixlr is not meant to be a media host. They make it super easy to stream stuff. Whatever you send at it, it steams. You can use a browser, a smartphone, etc. There are no real stats that you can check. They provide an email with stats, but in general, I would say they don't have stats. For free you can stream up to an hour any time you want. The quality is not as good as the premium plan  which is $10 a month. I really like their chat. Keep it As Simple As You Can While you may think adding a certain element is cool, you REALLY need to ask yourself, "Do I need this?" The more you add the better the chance you will be purcashing things to play and record on. On my Ask the Podcast Coach show (Live Saturdays at 10:30 am or catch the back episodes ) I was using my cellphone to connect to the phone system (I've used both Blog Talk Radio and Call in Studio) and I played my intro outro using my iPad that went into a my Behringer X1832 USB mixer (lots of auxilary sends) that went into my Mac Mini where I sent it to both Spreaker and Mixlr (I would not recommend that I do that as I'm always testing).
