You know how when somebody you know is slouching around with a gloomy look on his face, you sometimes say, “Lighten up?” Well it seems to me that there is one giant “GLOOM” hanging over almost everybody these days. I guess “Lighten up” isn’t heavy enough. So today’s podcast encourages you to “Liven up.” Here are Big Louie’s “six S” ways to do that. 6 – Snooze. 5 – Smile 4 – Scratch 3 -Shower 2 – Steak and #1  – Sex. #6 means take a nap Fifteen minutes is fine. #5 says take a look in a mirror, and put a smile on the face of the person looking back at you. #4 encourages you to scratch an itch, even if you have to rub your back against a door knob to do it. #3 says take a long, hot, lovely, soapy shower. # 2 means have something good to eat…even if it’s not something that’s especially good for you. And # 1…I don’t have to explain. So please “Liven up.” Remember Big Louie’s “Six Sss”. Snooze, smile, scratch, shower, steak and SEX.  

There is a “Cooperating Shower” in today’s podcast. As the guys in this picture demonstrate, cooperation is important to getting things done. So cooperate please. Give today’s podcast a listen. 

“Signs of the Times.” Today’s podcast is about staying in touch. The cell phone seems to be about communication. But the way we’re using it is making us lonely. We’re not talking to each other face to face nearly as much as we used to. Loneliness can be as bad for you as smoking a couple of packs of cigarettes a day. So the cell phone has become a very confusing “Sign of the Times.”

Our stories are a big part of our personalities. Today’s podcast will give you a couple of good ones. We need stories to bail us out when we don’t do the things we’re supposed to do. Give a listen. Learn another good one. 

All the guys with the big mouths doing self help seminars tell us that we must, “Follow our dreams.” Today’s podcast says first you’ve got to figure out what your dreams are all about. My buddy Al has both a PC and a Mac computer. That can be confusing right there.

Stories are sometimes about second thoughts. Today’s podcast has a second thought about a lady who was for a long ago instant a serious part of my life. Do you have any second thought stories in your life? Some baseball players have sometimes dangerous second thoughts.

“Touches are better than words, but words are  better than nothing.” That’s a quote from today’s podcast. It has to do with the power of a story. The gospels are stories, as are laws, and love words. In baseball there’s no option. But in love, unlike in baseball, you’ve got to touch to be safe. There are some other quotes in today’s podcast that might interest you. Give a listen please.

Today’s podcast is a story about stories. True ones. Including the story of my first recording contract. The recording company made a terrible mistake when they did my album. They had a choice. Me or a musical group that also sent them a tape of their work. They picked me. The musical group was…The Beatles. THAT’s A TRUE STORY. For more stories, give a listen to today’s podcast. And enjoy this picture story.

Stories…”Once upon a times”…memories and fantasies. Today’s podcast tells how you can make the best use of stories. Stories can even give you good examples to follow when you face confusing questions.. Some kid might thank you for it. Give a listen.

Today’s podcast encourages you to “Follow Your Dreams.” Except…not that one about finding yourself naked at work.
