021 - Pandora's AIDS Box

We're back, and we have a lot to talk about. For the first time in a while, the episode title is uttered right out of the gate as we figure out the true meaning of Pandora's box. We discuss where we've been, what we've been up to, and how the Thanksgiving holiday was spent. Steve has avoided winning the lottery because of the "lottery curse". We discuss God's little reminders to stay on-point, how coincidence does not exist, and why it's so much worse to hear "wait" than to hear "no". We discuss the insanity of Black Friday and the twisted mentality that feeds it. Brad offers an update on one of the members of his Desert Island Five and enlightens the audience to the wonders of the GoldenBoy and we say goodbye to two 80s music icons: Ric Ocasek and Eddie Money. Before the segment break, we check in with OJ Simpson on Twitter and his first video is absolutely terrifying... and we have another Virginia Tech Update. Following the break, good friend, world traveler, and sponsor of the show, Jim Ashley, joins us on the show to discuss his travels to Canada and Australia, his strange affinity for the Canadian Football League, the first-season failures of Dana Holgorsen, minor league hockey, and the preliminary decision of the NCAA to allow athletes to profit from their name, image, and likeness. Before Jim departs, we present our Top 5 Fast Food Joints (not including pizza establishments). As we close the show, Brad bids farewell to a friend that passed away and reflects on the reminders that these things bring to life. #WatchYourSix Music: Intro: "End of Summer" by The 126ers Rejoin: "Cielo" by Huma-Huma Outro: "The Coldest Shoulder" by The 126ers Special Guest: Jim Ashley.
