Three Things With J.R.

Hey, the law of supply and demand must prevail, and with this show, there's 171 episodes of supply, and very little demand, so, I'm going to focus my energies on my new podcast, Bands You've Never Heard of. You should go listen to that! www.bynhopod.com www.youtube.com/@bynhopod

JR gives ChatGOPT a chance to write this episode for him, but don't worry, he then takes over and does the show he wrote himself, which is a real celebration of the theater andall that goes in to making a great show, including the occasional piece of glitter in the butt.  www.shenanarts.org www.tobefare.com #josephandtheamazingtechnicolordreamcoat#andrewlloydweber #timrice #chatgpt #AI #health #podcast

In this episode JR talks about his poor poor truck and all the work it needs. Should he shell out the bucks and get it fixed, or sell it? Answer the poll question to let JR know what he should do. Also, Little Shop of Horrors is once again sponsoring this episode, you've only got 4 shows left, go see the show!  Lastly, dreams, bad bad dreams.

In episode 111 JR does his first show from his new location now that he's almost fully moved out of his old house. Also, Discover Weekly strikes again, and bravo, USPS.

It's Halloween as JR records episode #77, or as a local church calls it, Holy Ween. After skipping last week, JR's got plenty of things to talk about. A Christmas Story: The Musical, Motorcycle riding, The past and the future, what to watch now that baseball is (almost) over, and some dumb stuff, too. We also have a special guest, Chris Mullins, JR's coworker, and a big Braves fan. We watch the game and do a podcast.
