What dance styles would like to learn? 

Where is the farthest point in the world that you have visited? 

What are cultures around the world that you would like to visit or learn more about?

On this episode of the podcast, Stephanie Reed conducts and co-produces a fantastic, superb, and outstanding interview with me in person. This is Stephanie's first time on the podcast and we recorded this one at Greenwood Park in Des Moines.

 

After our intros and talking about how the last time we saw each other was 7 years ago, Stephanie recalls with me how I taught her quite a bit about Judaism that night we had dinner at Bonefish Grill in January 2017, and then I talk about how Judaism is very strongly against proselytizing outside of the Jewish community (and that I simply believe in educating people on various Jewish things if they ask or when certain things come up), the bare basics of about how a non-Jew who chooses to convert to Judaism goes about starting the process according to traditional Jewish Law, and what is traditionally called the 7 Laws of Noah.

 

After that, Stephanie and I have a deep and meaningful conversation on a bunch of topics that in a way blend in with each other (i.e. as we get pretty deep into taking about one subject, we then talk discussing another topic). Some of the topics we discussed are: The Israeli-Palestinean Conflict and how things have gotten much more heated with this starting in October of last year, Media Bias and my talking about how I rely on the Ad Fontes Media and Media Bias Fact Check websites to advise one on which media sources are less biased and more factual than others, our VHS days, my "level" of being autistic and the things that make me unique in terms of the autism, how Stephanie and I both feel about society/technology today and how we both actually prefer quite a few things that are "Old School", the types of music I enjoy, and about these podcasts. There is quite a lot of two way conversation during the podcast.

This episode is really unique as almost all of the questions Lori asked me and topics we talked about are things that have never ever been brought up on the podcast before. Here are the questions that Lori asked me, some were really fun or silly, other questions were more serious:

Does a straw have one or two holes?

If an animal could talk, which one would be the rudest?

Is cereal a soup?

Is a hot dog a sandwich?

Would you prefer to travel into the past or into the future?

Who would win in a fight, a horse-sized duck or a duck-sized horse?

Should cats or dogs rule the world?

Would you rather have a pet dragon or a pet unicorn?

Should adults be required to take an afternoon a nap time?

Should we have a 4 day workweek universally?

Should we have a mandatory retirement age?

Should we have a UBI/Universal Basic Income?

Should we have free education?

For some of the questions, I asked Lori what her answers would be and she shared her thoughts on a few of the topics we brought up. After all the topics Lori brought up and asked me questions on, I performed a bunch of my voice impersonations for her and we wrapped the show up with my sharing some thoughts about both our reaching the 200th total episode of the whole podcast series over a 6-1/2 year period and how the show has come a long long way over the last few years.

Then Julie asks me to describe myself with just three single word adjectives.

 

Next Julie and I have a discussion on a whole bunch of things related to the podcast.

 

Julie then asked what question I would love for someone to ask me that has never been asked on the show before and I answer by first talking about how I have had an interest in shortwave radio and a little about the National Institute of Standards and Technology Time and WWV/WWVH radio (available on several different shortwave band frequencies), and then I describe my ideal dream job of starting up/being on a radio station the way it was done during the 1970's.

 

Before I launch into my impersonation medley with Julie, she asks me what what your favorite age is that you've had over my first 49 years and if I could go back to one age earlier in life what would it be and why?

 

We wrap up the show with me performing a whole bunch of my voice impersonations for Julie.
