Greg and NJ take time with Mike in Middle America to talk comedy and Sports. How comedians today can beat cancel culture if they own their own material and distribution. Shane Gillis is the perfect example of this. And then the conversation turns to the college play-offs, Zach and Brock and everything in between.
NJ and Greg have an old friend on the show, Dr. Tim Williams! Tim is a friend and colleague from way back in the P&G Ivorydale Plant days.

And then the conversation turns to the gnome and some of the amazing possibilities with gene editing for disease prevention and cure.
The brothers are all in this week as they cover the sports world with some honest unfiltered assessments. And then, things turn to politics and perspective. It was a no-holds-barred conversation, and it still wasn’t like the “lost” tapes!
Greg and NJ discuss what happens when you lose $46.5 billion in value like they have at WeWork, and who loses that money. Employees are filing lawsuits over being asked to come back to work and companies are coming up with creative ways to get people to want to come back to the office. And of course, updates and opinions on the world of sports.
The brothers had a wonderful guest in the studio with them this week. Budge Wallis, former publishing executive and long-time fan of the show. Budge shares his career journey from working at a local newspaper to P&G to the highest ranks in the publishing industry. Along the way he shares his insights and learning from a long and successful career. Plus, Budge is the push-up King we have been referencing all these years! And after a long absence, Music Time shows up!
The brothers explore the new methods scammers are using to trick unsuspecting victims and how these scammers use AI to make everything seem even more real. Scammers are using your pictures on social media, your voice from videos you post and even your walk to impersonate you. Have a listen to the show so you are ready when they call, text, or email you with their latest scams!
Greg and NJ discuss some of the consequences that can follow fear and greed. Often, we are afraid to make a change and we are stuck with a less-than perfect situation. And there are moments when greed motivates people to the point where they lose what they have in the pursuit of more than they should take. And the brothers cover the Yankees, BYU, Puka Nacua and driving away with the gas line still in your car.
The brothers cover a number of things from the Jets being snake bit to the Yankees not making it to the playoffs for the first time since 2016. But the main topic for today’s podcast is the concept of Stewardship and serving other’s interests at work versus serving your own. Peter Block’s book, Stewardship is the launching pad for the discussion. Block’s depiction of Stewardship is provocative and challenging given the corporate world’s focus on individual achievement and advancement. How can you get a head in the world by ensuring others do as well?
