The Tale of Tibby Teeth – a True Mouthpiece

Shari

How it all began… Maybe you were out for a morning jog, like me. Or maybe a bike ride. Or maybe you were walking the dog when you glanced over, saw the water fountain, and recalled the many benefits of good hydration. Maybe you removed the retainer from your mouth, placed it on top of the fountain, and delighted in the cool refreshment that washed over your dry lips and melted into tongue on its way to your belly, past your soft palate and down your esophagus. Maybe it was one of those moments when you didn’t realize how thirsty Read More

Off The Wall: The Knobelman on your Playlist

Shari

Mr. Rowe – Do you have a crystal ball? I only ask, because the lyrics in your whiskey song foretold a reality in our present-day economy best described as…prescient. I refer specifically to these two stanzas, now playing remorselessly in my mind. “Offshore the cargo ships are stuck On the highways no more trucks At the gas pump prices suck It’s a transportation jack-job. Inflations high and all around The infrastructures falling down Lockdowns loom in every town And they wonder why we drink!” Your song is a ballad for the ages. A supply-chain lament, as it were. You should, Read More

Just Say Nyet (Ep. 255)

Shari

  For Father’s Day, I thought it might be fun to talk with the son of a father who changed the world. Michael Reagan is my guest on the podcast this week, and believe me, he has stories. He also has a terrific book called Lessons My Father Taught Me, and a perspective on our country that I think is worth sharing. PS. Sorry I’ve been scarce. Dirty Jobs is still in full production mode, and I’ve been on the road constantly. More about that later. PPS. Dad – I’m coming to see you this weekend. Don’t worry, there will Read More

Somehow, in the chaos of the last few weeks, I neglected to post a video to last weeks excellent podcast with Bill Whittle, which has already been eclipsed this weeks excellent podcast with Robert Kiyosaki. Tomorrow, if all goes as planned, I’ll post a short video the current podcast, which is excellent, by the way, but for now, in the spirit of slamming the barn door after the horse has run out, here’s a short video of Bill and me, discussing the Gardens of Stone at Arlington, and the unsurpassed specialness of that place.

Allyssa Has Three Jobs

Shari

So, I’m walking down the street in uptown Charlotte when I notice my reflection in a window and conclude that I need a haircut. Coincidentally, the window is attached to a barbershop, where a sign says a man can get his hair cut for $35. Even though I’m here to film Dirty Jobs – a show that allows me to appear as disheveled as I usually am – there are other obligations on my calendar this week that require a more respectable coif. So, I walk inside, where a millennial named Allyssa invites me to take a seat. “Would you Read More
