Both were surprised at the lack of seriousness taken by the airlines. Is this the beginning of the end of the pandemic? After a year of not having to go to work, Joe shares that he finally has a new job - a great position with a great company. Darren finally tells the creepy story of how Joe reminded Darren of his deceased best friend Michael. Darren described the visit he and Michael's partner Brad took to a reputable medium and how spot-on medium Shelly Peck was!

2021-04-20 - ASYLUm - Guilty Pleasures - aliens and bigfoot - life after death Apr 22, 2021

Show notes

What started out to be a conversation about each of our Guilty Pleasures, turned out to be pleasures that we didn't feel so guilty about. Darren's favorite pass-times: American Idol and The Voice. Jen and Joe's: aliens and sappy movies that make men cry. But Joe isn't interested in watching Darren's recommendation (Brokeback Mountain). Jen really enjoyed the Netflix Thunder Force while Darren post-show, thought it was the worst movie ever. All three of us are interested in life after death and space travel. Energize!

2021-03-02 - Asylum - Brands that have changed - for political correctness Mar 04, 2021

Show notes

The conversation started out with this topic, with Mrs Butterworth, Aunt Jemima, Dr Seuss and more. But as we discovered the brand issue strongly relates to the political climate of our times (Black Lives Matter, discrimination against minorities and women, etc) - we took a tangent first to gender bias and transgender issues, and then to politics and white men having an unfair advantage over women and minorities. Oy Vey!

Show notes

Darren, Jen & Joe share their stories about blocking Facebook friends. Joe Jordan blocked his own Asylum co-founder Darren - yet Joe said he doesn't remember why. Darren thinks it was due to his political views on Trump. Darren discovered the block when trying to find pics of Joe on his Facebook page, for promotional reasons. How could this happen? WHY? Tune in. See if your experiences are similar to ours. Oh the drama! Hear this and other stories, including religion and abortion views - and a new segment - Dad's Jokes.
