This podcast is about having fun. I believe fun is one of the most important parts of being happy. And I think being happy is the reason we're alive. So, how about going for a swing ride, pulling back and pushing front...and kicking your legs out to help pump yourself waayy up. Or how about some fun on a see saw? Sit down with your legs on the ground and see how long you can keep your friend up off the ground. How about getting close to some trees? You can hug them if you like...but that's a far as you should let yourself go. Don't want you to show up with some bark stains on your collar. But seriously, if there's a clump of trees handy...going for a walk there would feel good. And feeling good is an important part of having fun, and having fun is part of being happy. And being happy is the juice for being alive. If there's someone special in your life, maybe you could do a little un-necessary flirting. Something you may not have done for a wile. Actually, if there's someone special in your life, have you simply taken a moment to just be happy about that? Being happy really does take a little time sometimes. Hey...it's your time.

Good Night

Having Fun

This podcast admits that I've just come up with the answer to a question you hear all the time...what are friends for? People are always asking that question. And the answer is right there in a headline in a recent Drudge report that says...wait for it...the Drudge headline says, Quote - Milleniels choose friends as sperm donors...end quote. Would Matt Drudge lie to us? Milleniels choose friends as sperm doners. So that's what friends are for. Think about that if you're a guy going to a singles bar...and the ladies there have all heard, "What's your sign way too often?" Think about it guys. Next time you're there at a singles bar, you can now, legitimately go over to an attractive millenial 26 to 45 year old lady, and ask her if you could be her friend for the evening. If she has any kind of sense of humor, she'll say what does that mean? So then you can explain that according to Drudge, millenials choose friends as sperm donors, and you're ready and willing to make a personal donation.

Friendly Sperm Donors

God says FeBRRRuary. This podcast says, "Don't take the BRRRR out of the coldest month of the year." No matter how you and anybody else says, the month after January is NOT FEBUUUARY! God put the BRRRR in there. Don't displease God. We have enough problems. Would you go to a bar and order a BUUsky? They'd kick you out. And you wouldn't go to a Buadway show either. So don't call the second month of the year FeBUUUary.

GodSaysFebRRRuary

This podcast is different. It was hard to do. But I had to get this off my chest. I'd appreciate it if you'd give it a listen. And some thought. My Email is Dick@DickSummer.com if you'd like to send a comment.

OUTRAGED!

Today's podcast reminds you that the magnificent George Carlin said, "Why are they called apartments when they're all stuck together"? Good question. There are lots of good questions. Like "How come wrong numbers are never busy?" "How come an all butter croissant isn't just a big pile of butter?" And "If Barbie is so popular how come we have to buy her friends"? I did a Mattel tv comercial once, and the producers had absolutely no sense of humor about Barbie. When I asked about buying her friends, it got very quiet, and the temperature in the studio went to absolute zero. Do you think that maybe that's why I never did another Mattel commercial?

Good Questions

You've heard people say, "age is just a number." And they're wrong. This podcast says "Age is a lot more than just a number. For one thing it's a good helping of been there done that." I think there are better ways to explain how long you've been around than just telling your age with a number. One of those ways is to compare when you were born with what else was around when you were born. For example, I was born before television, before penicillin, polio shots, frozen foods, contact lenses, frisbees, and The Pill. There was no radar, no credit cards, no ball point pens, no pantyhose...I was on the air at WNEW in New York late at night and on the log was a live commercial for panty hose...I'd never heard of panty hose, and I almost didn't do the commercial because I thought someone was goofing on me. I was thinking way back then, that we can't talk about panties on the air. I was really worried about it. WNEW was owned by a company called Metromedia. We got a memo from on high that Metromedia was about to install hundreds of low power transmitters and receivers in the NY area, because they were planning on having phones you could carry around in your pocket. I remember thinking...riiigght.

Getting Older

This podcast says, it looks like it's time to admit that I have been four different guys in my lifetime. Dickie, Richard, Dick and Mr. Summer. And I wonder if eventually I'll be a fifth guy. My Dad's name was also "Dick" so when I was very young I was Dickie. When I went to school I became Richard. When I graduated I was just Dick. I became Mr. Summer when I had to deal with the folks at the Dept. of Motor Vehicles when I got a driver's license, and the FAA when I got my pilot's license, but so far I don't think I ever got to be that fifth guy...at least not yet. And hey...it's time. I have come to the age when I choose my cereal for the fiber content, not for the included toy. These days, on those few times I go painting the town red, I have to take a pretty good nap before applying a second coat.

My Five Guys

I am not addicted to sex. But I am...a faithful fan of the female form. This podcast admits that I have noticed that lately, ladies are...wearing...rather shape showing jeans. And they're shoving their smart phones into their hip pockets. Now...you know those voices that grownups are supposed to have that tell you when to Shut Up... do not say what you're thinking.? I don't seem to have one of those. So I recently asked a rather attractive young lady waitress who who was wearing tight, stretchy jeans, with a smart phone stuck in her hip pocket, if she was planning on sending a funny fanny picture to a group of her closest friends. She looked at my Lady Wonder Wench, and they both looked at me and rolled their eyes out loud.

Your Funny Fanny Phone

This podcast is designed to help youj sing Auld Lang Syne with someone who may not be around anymore. It usually works. Give it a try. It might help you start off 2022 in a way you wont forget.

A Special New Year's Experience

Today's podcast is about a memory I'll never forget. Christmas on Boston Common. Featuring music by around a thousand people and Jose Feliciano, Tom Rush and Jaime Brockket. It was some Silent Night.

An UnCommon...Common...Christmas

This Christmas podcast ends with the funniest Christmas story I've ever heard...BAR NONE. It was sent a couple of years ago by Bill Everlino. IT IS PRICELESS.

The Hark Spark

"Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was" supposed to be stirring EXCEPT THIS LITTLE MOUSE. I did him in…then got a little sad about it. Give a listen please…and Merry Christmas.

The Christmas Mouse

Some of the stories in this podcast, I've told you before...but as far as I'm concerned, they are worth re-telling as long as Christmas survives. They're real. Like Christmas. And I expect Christmas will be around for a long time. So will Hanukkah, Kwanza, and Solstice and all those other very special feasts that warm and light the beginning of another cold, dark winter.

A Christmas Warm Up

This podcast reveals most men's man biggest problem...EXCESS HUMILITY. Shameful. This became clear one Thanksgiving recently, and I started the Mass Appeal on NBC radio. MAS = Men Are Saints. Some people disagree. And this podcast corrects their mistakes.

The Mass Appeal

I've been doing this podcast for lots of years, but I've never done anything like this. This podcast is not autobiographical, but it is an uncomfortably close parallel to something that happened to me, that changed my life. Part one of the story is in the podcast just before this. This is the second, and for me the most amazing story ending I've ever experienced.

Love Comes Part 2

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."
