People who through their work, their ethics, their integrity, their talent, their genius just makes it happier for the rest of us.

We all Have Things We Do Besides The Things We Do
Doing a little something different today on this show/podcast.
Sharing a few more laughs with long time buddy and laugh partner Charlie Ponger who I invited in to the studio to share some excerpts of what we work on outside this show.
Charlie had a fun idea for a podcast and busted my chops to come do it with him.
It’s called ‘The Official Seenagers’. Dedicated to the over 50 crowd who ain’t goin’ down any time soon, and dedicated to all those coming up behind us to let them know they’ll still be having fun long into the future with the right attitude.
We produce this podcast in a bunker location called the ‘Pongerosa’. We’re speaking to a demo we feel is under-served. Those who've been around awhile but have so much more ahead. We remind everybody, anything's still possible, and that it's never too late for anything.
Today you'll hear excerpts from 'The Official Seenagers' podcast shows that make us laugh.
Launched Nov 2021, without a clue as to what it would become, we've done over 50 shows of what we call 'comedy improv'. We’re figuring it out along the way. A work in progress and we think less is more so most episodes are short like 15 -20 minutes. Followed my own advice, "Risk It or Regret It".
Today we’re sharing tidbits of what we’ve been doing.
Did you know we have ‘Seenager Correspondents’ around the country? Today you’ll hear from LuLu weighing in from San Raphael, CA
We also have “Write INS”. Todays clip ? You Know You're A ‘Seenager’ When... (Senior Teenager)
Lots of laughing at ourselves that's for sure. If we don’t laugh this is not going to be funny. About things like falling over putting on our underwear, etc.
Oh wait until you hear what's going on with 'Seenagers' In Florida. Our Canadian Correspondent reported in. The colored loofahs mean what?
Then there's The Funnies Report: As in ... Who’s On Injured Reserve This Week? Seenagers have ridiculous accidents.
We through in some relevant news: GEN X Fears Supporting Boomer Parents. 50% of gen X not financially prepared to look after parents if they had to.
Talk some Grandparent stuff: My 3 year old Granddaughter packed up all her clothes in a suitcase and told her parents she was leaving them to come live with me. She thinks I'm more fun. Ha.
Speaking of fun, did you know 'Seenagers' are trying to have as much fun as humanly possible but have no patience when they blow a body part in the process? Example: I did a backward lunge. Then a Dr. gave me a 'boot' for my sprained foot ligament. Looked like it would be hot. Decided I'd rather limp than wear it. So I limped. Should have paid more attention to the health update from from CNN, on how to avoid soft tissue injury.
Finally 'Seenagers' still have great love affiars going on, although a 'touch' different then when we were teenagers. So I re-wrote the words to Dion's 1959 hit song 'Teenager In Love'. My version is called 'Seenager In Love" which you'll get to hear on this episode even though I can't sing. Who cares, we're having fun.
Hope you'll catch the fun vibe too. Enjoy this podcast
