"Good Night" puts a smile on your face, tells you a bedtime story, chucks the day's problems, gives you a verbal back rub and tucks you in for a safe, sound, good night's sleep. Sometimes it's hard to get to sleep.You just can't seem to say goodnight to yourself. Booze helps sometimes...or pills. But that's a big step down a bad street. "Good Night" puts a smile on your face, tells you a bedtime story, helps you chuck the day's problems, gives you a verbal back rub, and tucks you in for a safe, sound, sleep. Dick Summer's voice puts a strong and friendly arm around your shoulder. You hear him on television commercials all day. But when it's getting late, and you want to "take the day and shove it," but you can't seem to say good night to yourself... Dick's Podcast is a quiet place to rest your head...a safe place to hide a hurting heart...a gentle place to fall. It's a comfortable way to tell yourself, "Good Night." http://www.dicksummer.net/images/ds_rss.png http://www.dicksummer.net/ 144 118 Dick Summer Music sleep, health, spoken word, sexuality, good night http://www.dicksummer.net/ Dick Summer Dick Summer dick@dicksummer.com Wed, 21 Jun 2006 08:00:00 EST http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/109_WWenchVacation.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/109_WWenchVacation.mp3 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 07:00:00 EST Wonder Wench Vacation Dick Summer 7:12 Good Night, accident, Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/108_AnniesAccident.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/108_AnniesAccident.mp3 Sun, 13 Jul 2008 07:00:00 EST Annie's Accident Dick Summer 6:42 Good Night, Annie, accident, Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/107_CarlinPoetry.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/107_CarlinPoetry.mp3 Sun, 29 Jun 2008 07:00:00 EST Carlin, Painting, Poetry & Passion Dick Summer 14:04 Good Night, George Carlin, Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/106_PianoManMeetsLawnTractorMan.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/106_PianoManMeetsLawnTractorMan.mp3 Sun, 22 Jun 2008 07:00:00 EST Piano Man Meets Lawn Tractor Man Dick Summer 16:29 Good Night, Lawn Tractor, Super Hero, Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/105_BillyJackElizabeth.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/105_BillyJackElizabeth.mp3 Sun, 15 Jun 2008 07:00:00 EST Billy, Jack and Elizabeth Dick Summer 12:10 Good Night, men, women, Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/104_HostileWWench.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/104_HostileWWench.mp3 Sun, 08 Jun 2008 07:00:00 EST Hostile Wonder Wench Dick Summer 12:07 Good Night, men, women, Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/103_DrDrillgrinder.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/103_DrDrillgrinder.mp3 Sun, 01 Jun 2008 07:00:00 EST Dr. Drillgrinder Dick Summer 15:35 Good Night, teeth, dentist, Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/102_TheBiker'sParty.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/102_TheBiker'sParty.mp3 Sun, 25 May 2008 07:00:00 EST The Biker's Party Dick Summer 14:07 Good Night, party, bike, Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/101_TryAgainTomorrow.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/101_TryAgainTomorrow.mp3 Sun, 18 May 2008 07:00:00 EST Try Again Tomorrow Dick Summer 13:19 Good Night, try, tomorow, Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/100_Happy2ndAnniversary.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/100_Happy2ndAnniversary.mp3 Sun, 11 May 2008 07:00:00 EST Second Anniversary Freebie Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/99_Louies20.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/99_Louies20.mp3 Sun, 04 May 2008 07:00:00 EST 20 Tips To Make Ladies Love You (Even if you're young.)

They give you a little space...a little time...a little hope...as long as you just avoid the temptation to look in the bathroom mirror in the middle of the night. When life sucks, this podcast will explain how you can dial up your 'tude, and smack it back with a big, bad, "Louie."

CD Baby has a counter on the number of times various tracks are downloaded, so we know which tracks you like best. This podcast features the top five stories, plus a little background on each one. Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year. Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/80_Hark.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/80_Hark.mp3 Sun, 16 Dec 2007 07:00:00 EST A Spark of HARK! We hear way too much of the Herald Angels at this time of year. What have they got that we don't have ? It's the word HARK ! That word gets your attention. If you want to get some attention, whenever anybody asks you a question, start your answer with the word HARK ! In this podcast, you will learn other ways of getting attention...and girls...at this holy time of year.

But it's old and fragile, so you can break it before you get to the check out counter if you're not crafty and careful. My Lady Wonder Wench and I are proud members of the Louie-Louie Generation...so we've seen a few Christmases...lots of them together...some of them apart. Looking For Christmas is what we do now...together. It makes us feel good...even after all this time. Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/78_AWwChristmas.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/78_AWwChristmas.mp3 Sun, 02 Dec 2007 07:00:00 EST A Wonder Wench Christmas In the beginning, she was my secretary, and I was the boss. Somehow, that chain of command seems to have changed somewhat over the years. Some of you are SHOCKED! SHOCKED I TELL YOU!! That I would call my Lady, "Wonder Wench." She makes a personal appearance this time, to tell you how she feels about that. And this is the story of how it started one Christmas...a long, long time ago. Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/77_ChristmasIsTheBiggestOneHitWonder.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/77_ChristmasIsTheBiggestOneHitWonder.mp3 Sun, 25 Nov 2007 07:00:00 EST Christmas Is THE One Hit Wonder "Holly Jolly Christmas" is wonderful. So's Winter Wonderland. Jingle Bells rocks the cash registers every year. But the biggest Christmas hit of all time is a song composed by two guys nobody ever heard from...before...or after. Lots of people thought it was composed by Beethoven, or Brahms...it's so beautiful. It sings the spirt of the season with grace, and beauty, and peace. How would you like to have the only song you ever wrote, become one of the most cherished songs ever written. That's the story of Silent Night. Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/76_Saints&TurkeysRept.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/76_Saints&TurkeysRept.mp3 Sun, 18 Nov 2007 07:00:00 EST Men Are Saints... and Turkeys A guy's brain swims in a sea of testosterone, which absorbs some of the shock of getting hit in the head by baseballs, Yanni's music, and high levels of excess verbal communication. Preservatives stop germs and fungus from maturing. Therefore testosterone is an anti maturing chemical. That's the only real explanation for the MEN ARE SAINTS campaign. Happy Thanksgiving. Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/75_Mano-a-Mouseo.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/75_Mano-a-Mouseo.mp3 Sun, 04 Nov 2007 07:00:00 EST Mano-a-Mouse-o I knew that if I hoped to ever have my Lady Wonder Wench climb down from on top of her dresser, I was going to have to face the beast. I was going to have to go mano a mouse-o. It was an epic struggle, but I eventually won. Sort of. He was about 3 ounces and three inches. I'm about 180 and 5 feet 10. In the end, he had guts. In the end, I had poison. He was jumping ten times his body size. I was falling on my fanny. I prevailed. But he did good. Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/74_CommercialConsiderations.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/74_CommercialConsiderations.mp3 Sun, 28 Oct 2007 07:00:00 EST Commercial Considerations Some tv commercials snarl at you...others cream...some croon, "Trust Me." I've done my share of them...like the commercials for the original panty hose that came in the plastic egg... and the "Cross Your Heart" bras...those were interesting recording sessions. We have commercials for "erectile dysfunction" now...but how come we don't have any for condoms ? I thought we were supposed to be "fair and ballanced." Then there's that George Clooney stuff...it's all here. Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/73_WonderWenchSkiFantasy.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/73_WonderWenchSkiFantasy.mp3 Sun, 21 Oct 2007 07:00:00 EST A Lady Wonder Wench Ski Fantasy A waitress told me a wonderful thing yesterday. She said "You look borderline like Sean Connerly." Actually, I look more like borderline Harrison Ford...I think. But her comment started a fantasy about My Lady Wonder Wench, Rose, Bill...and me, a small airplane and a ski lodge. An incendiary combination you say ? You're right. Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/72_WanderingAtNight.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/72_WanderingAtNight.mp3 Sun, 14 Oct 2007 07:00:00 EST Wandering Around at Night Louie-Louie Generation guys and girls could have a huge, national "Middle Of The Night Wandering Around" convention. It just kinda sneaks up on you an inch at a time. You guys will recognize the first symptoms when you find you're reading the directions before you put together the "Easy to assemble out door grill." Girls need to be careful when you notice that you've bought stationary with your name already printed on it. Here's the rest of the story. Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/71_TheCurseofthePimplePeople.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/71_TheCurseofthePimplePeople.mp3 Sun, 07 Oct 2007 07:00:00 EST The Curse of the Pimple People Just because I now have grey hair, my chest has slipped a little, and when I fly my plane I have to stop and think which is the lever that puts the wheels down, and which is the one that stops the engine... that's no reason for the recently hatched embryo with a backwards baseball cap and a tasteful assortment of pimples and nose rings to call me an "Old Man." Here's what I did about it. Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/70_EmeraldCity.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/70_EmeraldCity.mp3 Sun, 30 Sep 2007 07:00:00 EST The Emerald City We went to see the wizard...the wonderful wizard of Oz. He's alive and weird in Las Vegas. The secret story of two Vegas "Girls" this time, plus the old groaner about the "Chip Monks." Also...an explanation of why you should be careful about inviting a hypnotist into your bedroom.

Especially guys who happen to be brothers. I'm not sure all guys give each other quite as hard a time as the hassles my brothers and I give each other when we get together. Here's what happened when my Brooklyn brother and I got together last weekend. Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/68_SoundsNotes&Music.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/68_SoundsNotes&Music.mp3 Sun, 09 Sep 2007 07:00:00 EST Sounds, Notes and Music Wind, rain, high heels on marble floors, surf, leaves, a jet plane, computer keys, a telephone call in the middle of the night, your voice, your heart...they all make sounds. My dad made his living with music. He always said that the sounds make the notes, but the living makes the music. This is about living, and loving, and music. Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/67_DroolingForHealth.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/67_DroolingForHealth.mp3 Sat, 01 Sep 2007 07:00:00 EST Drooling For Health We now have scientific evidence that drooling over a beautiful busty babe for 10 minutes every day is as good as a 30 minute aerobic workout for lowering blood pressure, cutting the risk of a heart attack in half, and improving the quality of life by zillions. The information in this podcast can actually add five wonderful years to a guy's life. Some heard hearted wives/girlfriends will not want their partners to know about this. Surely you will not be among their numbers ! Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/66_SummerRain.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/66_SummerRain.mp3 Sun, 26 Aug 2007 07:00:00 EST Soft Summer Rain Hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, heatwaves and ice storms get all the press. But it&s the soft, late summer rains, that make the holy water and mixed drinks of our lives. They calm us down better than any purple pill. They wash the air, and dissolve our inhibitions. Many a "relaxing moment" has been turned into a "right moment" in a soft late summer rain. This one happened right on my back deck. Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/65_WonderWench&MarilynMonroe.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/65_WonderWench&MarilynMonroe.mp3 Sun, 19 Aug 2007 07:00:00 EST Wonder Wench & Marilyn Monroe We go to a restaurant called Manny-Hattan's...lots of New York pictures on the walls...the Brooklyn Bridge...Babe Ruth in his Yankee uniform...a famous picture of Marilyn Monroe at the Grand Central subway station. I have a picture of W.Wench taken in the Times Square subway station. I showed it to Steve, who owns the place...and he said let me put it on the wall...right next to Marilyn. I said GREAT ! W.Wench said...well...listen to the podcast...but I'll give you a clue...ask any woman you know how she'd like to have her picture on a wall right next to Marilyn Monroe. Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/64_ReCalculate.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/64_ReCalculate.mp3 Sun, 12 Aug 2007 07:00:00 EST Re-calculating I get lost a lot, and in order to get me home in time for supper, my Lady Wonder Wench bought me a shiny new calculating young woman who knows her way around. Louie- Louie Generation women need to learn how to deal with half ripe, shiny new, calculating 22 year olds. Big Louie, his own bad self...has some suggestions. Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/63_TheKlunker.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/63_TheKlunker.mp3 Sun, 05 Aug 2007 07:00:00 EST The Klunker Never confuse a klunker with a junker. That goes for both cars and people. I drive a klunker...because I like it. It's like a mutt. You can park it anywhere, and not worry about getting it scratched...or stolen. If you come to a four way stop sign at the same time as a new Corvette, the guy in the klunker always goes first...we have less to lose. "Big Louie" always says, "There's a big difference between a klunker and a junker. A klunker is always worth...something"...that goes for cars...and people. Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/62_RubberGloveMoments.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/62_RubberGloveMoments.mp3 Sun, 29 Jul 2007 07:00:00 EST Rubber Glove Moments If you've ever had a physical exam, you know that rubber gloves are the worst kind of gloves. Rubber glove moments are usually nasty and quick. It's like you wake up screaming and you realize you haven't fallen asleep yet. You'll find out on this podcast what Big Louie says you should do about all rubber glove moments. Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/61_FatalDistraction.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/61_FatalDistraction.mp3 Sun, 22 Jul 2007 07:00:00 EST Fatal Distraction If there's really a heaven, are you sure you want to go? Maybe there's a better alternative. Better find out, before you find yourself all alone... in an empty doctor's waiting room...with a FATAL magazine...trying to figure out if you are a spirit with a body, or a body with a spirit. Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/60_Maybe.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/60_Maybe.mp3 Sun, 15 Jul 2007 07:00:00 EST Maybe "Maybe" the princess really did kiss a frog, and he turned into a prince...and that's why the Queen found a guy in her daughter's bedroom one morning. "Maybe" Cinderella and the other prince did live happily ever after. On the other hand, "maybe" it was the same guy, and he was really an out of work actor just "playing the part of a prince." "Maybe" is a slippery, squirrely word. Check out this podcast and find out why it's so important to all us "Louie-Louie Generation" people. You'll also find out why maybe George Washington wasn't really our first president, and why maybe you should call a sandwich a shrewsbury. Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/59_Workouts.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/59_Workouts.mp3 Sun, 08 Jul 2007 07:00:00 EST Whoops Workouts The word aerobic comes from the ancient Brooklyn word for "pain." Sometimes a "Whoops" gets in the way of a workout, partially due to that fact. Please listen before you fall into the trap of doing sit ups, or other harmful activities that could lead you to problems like "The Di Nero Syndrome." Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/58_GotAMinuteForAHaircut.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/58_GotAMinuteForAHaircut.mp3 Sun, 01 Jul 2007 07:00:00 EST Got a Minute for a Haircut When women watch a musician like Yanni toss his long hair while he's playing, they say, "oh isn't he wonderful." Then they turn to their boyfriends/husbands and say, "you need a haircut." So...eventually we go and get a haircut. They think that's easy. Actually, it's a ritual so dangerous it borders on human sacrifice. Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/57_BigLouie&SummerSleaze.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/57_BigLouie&SummerSleaze.mp3 Sun, 24 Jun 2007 07:00:00 EST Summer's Solitary Sensuals Solitary sensual pleasures are an important part of Louie-Louie Generation lives. Here is your guide to Solo Scratching, Retro Rubbing, Scalping, Showering, and Sneezing. They are not only pleasurable, they are endorsed by Big Louie...his own big bad self. Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/56_ToyBoyGrowingUp.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/56_ToyBoyGrowingUp.mp3 Sun, 17 Jun 2007 07:00:00 EST The Toy Boy Growing Up A Toy Boy is not just a dyslexic Boy Toy. A Toy Boy is a "Louie-Louie Generation" guy who uses toys for the benefit of mankind...and the pursuit of woman kind. When a Toy Boy is asked when he's going to grow up, he holds up an object in the shape of a cross...made from tinker toys. Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/55_ThePowerOfTheFannyPat.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/55_ThePowerOfTheFannyPat.mp3 Sun, 10 Jun 2007 07:00:00 EST The Power Of The Fanny Pat Some days, you just need a pat on the fanny from your girlfriend...like when your other girlfriend gets hurt...badly. This was one of those days. Boys with toys will understand. Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/54_AWonderfulWorld.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/54_AWonderfulWorld.mp3 Sun, 03 Jun 2007 07:00:00 EST What A Wonderful World What a stupid title for a song these days. Or maybe not. Is the glass half full, or is it half empty...or does that make any difference at all. This is a story about waking up with a picture of Hillary Clinton on my forehead...and going to bed with a little different way of looking at "A Wonderful World." Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/53_PrecociousAbDeflation.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/53_PrecociousAbDeflation.mp3 Sun, 27 May 2007 07:00:00 EST Precocious Ab Deflation I found that I am suffering from "Precocious Ab Deflation." That's a highly technical term. It comes from the ancient Latin word "Pre" which means before...as in "pre-marital sex." "Cocious" is from the ancient Brooklyn word "cocious," which means "wise person"...as in "every winning team has a staff of wise cocious." So "Precocious" means what happens to you before you have a chance to get wise to what's happening. But I'm ok, because just in time...the Lone Ranger came to the rescue. Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/52_MomComesThroughInAPinch.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/52_MomComesThroughInAPinch.mp3 Sun, 20 May 2007 07:00:00 EST It's Mom in a Pinch I passed my FAA Flight Physical the other day, courtesy of the fact that my Mother was a pincher. Try using the same technique I used next time you're going through some kind of crisis that makes the little voice in your head start crying for your mommy. It really does work. Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/51_KeepFlying.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/51_KeepFlying.mp3 Sun, 13 May 2007 07:00:00 EST Keep Flying Everybody needs a trophy...a prize for a lifetime of hard work. "Trophy" is from the ancient Brooklyn word "Tro", meaning to hurl an object... as in "I tro a baseball pretty hard." Fee is the Bar Association word meaning money. "Trophy" therefore means something at which I throw money. My trophy is my little airplane. And the boogie man is trying to take it from me. Some memories, some hopes, and one big fear this time. Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/50_MyBoyBill.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/50_MyBoyBill.mp3 Sun, 06 May 2007 07:00:00 EST My Boy Bill She was packed into her blue short shorts like two scoops of cherry vanilla ice cream. Her stretchy halter top was stretched as far as it would stretch. She had just moved in a few months ago, severely disrupting the balance of estrogen and testosterone in the neighborhood...and she loved it. That&s what I wanted going on in my head on my bike ride.

Each toe is a three breath affair. The Thumb toes are good for five. Toenail clipping has become so hard priests will start assigning it for penance. "You did what?? How often?? Well say three rosaries and clip your toe nails...that will teach you." But Louie-Louie generation people take heart. We may shrink, but we never shrivel.

Y&all can do you in. That&s what happened to Don Imus. It happens to me a lot. AND IT CAN AND WILL HAPPEN TO YOU.

There&s some guy up there telling you what you should or shouldn&t do, and giving you a hard time when you screw up...AND YOU DON&T EVEN KNOW WHO THIS GUY IS. But you can put his smarts to work for you, with the Quiet Decisions technique in this week&s podcast. If he keeps giving you a hard time, tell him to back off, because you&re all you&ve got.

WRONG "Playing In The Gene Pool" exposes the naked truth in this cover up. Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/44_YoungGuysLurking.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/44_YoungGuysLurking.mp3 Sun, 18 Mar 2007 07:00:00 EST Young Guys Lurk Soon, some terrorist will sneak into your bedroom in the middle of the night guys, and he'll shave a little bald spot right up on top of your head. You won't even notice till the next time you get a hair cut, and the barber puts that mirror around in back of you. That's the start. From then on, you're going to be on the watch for the young guys who are lurking in every corner, ready to pounce on your girl.

"Wear support socks" is a completely silly thing for a doctor to say to a sex symbol like yourself. But it happens. There IS an up side to it. And it&s part of this podprogram.

Not just different sexes... OPPOSITE sexes. That's one reason we have a lot to learn from each other. My Lady Wonder Wench told me the secret of happiness a long time ago, when she said, "Whatever you want". There's a story in here about a young guy who did just what he wanted to do with his buddy's half naked girlfriend. How do you think THAT turned out? Bet you're wrong.

The ONLY possible answer to that potentially deadly question is revealed in this absolutely essential podprogram. And you will also find a workable answer to the even more deadly but less well known mighty question number two; "Were you a virgin when you got married?."

He didn't tell Bergman much about himself. It was all about her. "Here's looking at you kid" was mostly what he said. That's how you start a romance. Not a relationship, a romance. A relationship develops. A romance explodes. And after the explosion, there's nothing like a good back rub.

Well there's a bug going around...a nasty, ugly, very contagious growl. Left untreated, it can turn you into a cynic, or worse yet, it can give you political correctness. Here's what to do about it...and a story about somebody who ignored this warning. He fell victim to "The Prince of Fantasy".

Easier said than done these days. It seems that no matter how cynical you get, you can't keep up. So I'm not keeping up at all. My little 8 year old next door neighbor Emily, with her giggles and jelly beans, made me remember that the best way to solve a serious problem is with a silly solution. Try it. It worked for me. Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/36_HopeAndLouieLouie.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/36_HopeAndLouieLouie.mp3 Sun, 21 Jan 2007 07:00:00 EST New Hope for the Louie Louie Generation Before there were discos, there were record hops. If you can remember record hops, you are a member of the Louie Louie generation. Louie Louie was the perfect guy dance. No complicated dance steps, and "the word" was that the words were "dirty" although nobody could really understand them. It was before political correctness, so it was ok to be dirty. If you are a member of the Louie Louie generation, you may need a daily minimum adult doseage of hope. Try this one.

Research by Yale University Seniors has shown that when people hang around together in the nude, their conversation becomes "serious and philosophical." What a way to make Congress get serious and philosophical...Teddy Kennedy in the nude on the 6:30 PM network news. Just be careful of the concept on the beach on a soft summer night. Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/34_KeepTink.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/34_KeepTink.mp3 Sun, 07 Jan 2007 07:00:00 EST Keep Clapping Hands For Tinkerbelle This is about Tinkerbell's tragic magic. Tink was in love with Peter Pan, even though society wasn't up for human-fairy marriages. She knew Wendy was going to win in the end. But she LOVED Mr. Pan. So she gave him her magic anyway. She just loved him. Tink was magic, but she needed us to clap for her to show that we believe, or she'd die. You've got to see Pulling-the-rabbit-out-of-the-hat magic to believe it. But you've got to first believe in Tink's kind of magic to see it. Tink's kind of magic is what can keep love going, even when we're a few weeks past the springtime of our lives. This is about clapping hands for Tinkerbelle...and keeping magic alive.

Introducing you to a voice that will never shut up. Now you'll never feel alone...even if you're all by yourself, sitting in a corner pigging out on fists full of Christmas fruitcake, swilling something frosty, and sticking out your lower lip because you're feeling left out of the Major New Years Party-ing.

Lots of people say "ho, ho, ho". Most people just say "Happy Holidays". And of course, a few people just say "Huh?" I don't find The Christmas Spirit in religion, presents, stories, poems nor even in music. A lot of people don't believe in it. I do. I've felt it. And I've seen it. Here's where I'll go looking for it again this year.

And learn about the salmonella poisoning you can get from eating turkey, which makes you crazy enough this time each year to rush down to the nearest mall and flatten your credit cards. Plus, we'll tell the story of "Beauty and the Beast".

A tale of lurking intrigue and falling down laughing at a major US Airport. And the Number One, El Supremo, Top Pick To Click cut from the Personal Audio Cds as reported by CDBABY.com - a story about a guy pretending he wasn't watching as the lady who used to be his wife crosses a downtown street, leaving him with a question that he'll probably never be able to answer.

Another difference is that they do things to help us in an emergency, and we just grow a mustache. If you're getting a headache from this, I'll give you a back rub to make you feel better at the end of this PodProgram.

Fantasies make life "interesting".

Besides the parts that people with dirty-happy minds will immediately identify, there are also eyebrows and fingertips. This PodProgrm gives the science fiction explanation for that phenomenon, and explains what Humphrey Bogart and Tom Cruise seem to have done about it that us ordinary guys can't seem to master. And there's a story from the Quiet Hands cd that goes right along with the flow.

Why do men stray? What's it like being "The Other Woman?" "Is The Other Woman just, cheap?" And my own reaction to the idea that the pilot is just an ordinary dirty dog. Plus "Dick's Details" to take your mind off your mind, so you can nod off to sleep. Did you know that Moses stuttered? Bet nobody laughed. Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/23_IntMelt.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/23_IntMelt.mp3 Sun, 15 Oct 2006 08:00:00 EST The Intercontinental Ballistic Plastic Potato Pop Gun Threat and Make Up Melt Two suburban backyard war lords, Randy and I, face off with Intercontinental Ballistic Plastic Potatos, and the powerful Pop Guns to deliver them. Star Wars de-fence is semi successful, and Bill the Mailman loses his cigar. An honest confession as to why these PodPrograms are about such little things. And watch a beautiful woman's make up melt.

If you can remember where Puff the Magic Dragon lives (by the sea), you'll remember Peter Paul and Mary and the land of Hona Lee. This is about a concert, and a knock on the side of the head lesson about respecting yourself, and whatever you stand for. It helps if, in the process, somebody gives you a rose. Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/21_GrowingUpWithTheTruth.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/21_GrowingUpWithTheTruth.mp3 Sun, 01 Oct 2006 08:00:00 EST Growing Up With The Truth Growing up can hurt. So can telling the truth. That's why some of us do neither. Mostly we are guys. I cannot tell a lie, the kid next door swiped my Bazooka toy, and I want it back. But she's 5 and I'm not going over there and knocking on her door, and saying "I want my toy back". Life is hard when faced with growing up. There's a story in this PodProgram about what I'm (honestly) trying to do about it. Honest ! Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/20_JessWhitney.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/20_JessWhitney.mp3 Sun, 24 Sep 2006 15:00:00 EST Whitney and Jess, two ladies in distress "America's Most Requested Wedding Song" is Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You." But here's the opening lyric: "If I should stay, I would only be in your way. So I'll go, but I know, I'll think about you every day. And I will always love you." That's America's most requested wedding song. How did that happen? And what has Jess got to do with it? Plus a bedtime story from the "Night Connections" personal audio CD.

Well, hundreds of my friends. Ok, all my friends. I call it Mouth vs. Ear I Miss You. Mouth vs. Ear was a quiz show. Sort of. My friends and I were the Mouth, and we always won because we cheated. The listeners were the Ear, and they always lost because we cheated. Pat Cooper was our in studio guest at NBC Radio's New York FM station, WYNY. Barry Manilow was a regular caller. Pat won and Barry lost...because we cheated. I Miss You is a story from the Lovin Touch Personal Audio CD. When you listen, you'll understand why it's appropriate for this podprogram.

Also, the first known "not tonight dear, I have a headache" in recorded history. Plus a conversation with that little voice inside you that keeps calling you names. And then to sleep.

I thought I must have gone blind, or maybe it was that my eye glass prescription suddenly ran out. It was a shocker. Most of us eventually turn to flab. When that happens to our vision, we need glasses. Then it becomes a matter of balancing our need to see, with our need to look good. But nice things happen when you get the balance right, as the man and woman in the Bedtime Story called "Second Chance" will tell you. Dick Summer http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/16_ShakenStirred.m3u http://www.dicksummer.net/podcast/16_ShakenStirred.mp3 Wed, 30 Aug 2006 08:00:00 EST When you shake things around, be careful how much you stir things up. 35 is the magic age for guys. Until you reach 35 if some muscle hurts, you just shake it, and it's instantly ok. After 35 if some muscle hurts if you shake it, it might fall off. As a PodProgram listener from China found, the same thing happens with relationships. Don't say we didn't warn you. Sometimes magic is your best defense. So we're giving you some magic fingers from the Quiet Hands.

A deadly three tow truck weekend, because I didn't pay attention to the way the fortune cookie crumbled.

And then to sleep.

The results of life guarding at Coney Island a lot of years ago...too much boardwalk, too much hot dogs...too much sun. Non cosmetic means kinda ugly. Schnoz as in nose, and ectomy as in cut it open, fool around for a while in there, and sew it back up. There's also an audio helping hand in here, so all and all it's a positive pod.

But there is a certain manly grace that deserves more credit than we get. So we don't do everything the way the grown up sex would like us to do them. But we GET THEM DONE. Usually. Even moving. You can call this a moving story if you like. There's a Bedtime Story in it called "For The Long Run."

But that's hard to keep in mind when they have a dead fish, an ominous Bible, and a funeral parlor fragrance in their waiting rooms. But nothing compares to the jolt you can get when you hit the playback button on your answering machine.

We're only guys. Give a guy a snarly, high horse power toy, and make way for the appearance of a super beast called LAWN TRACTOR MAN !
