    U N C L E !  #326
    While driving in his Dodge Caravan on I-80 and I-81 in Pennsylvania, on his way to a go-kart parts store, Dave talks about being an uncle… eventually.
    First there’s the “little David” childhood background story about growing up in Brooklyn NY.
    He talks about Speed Racer, Racer X, Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars. These we’re contributing factors in his growing up with auto racing.

    He discusses names you give children that affect their career choices.
    Of course there’s the obligatory mention of C-friends, acquaintances, energy vampires and depleeters.

    Along the way he gets “on track” and “gets to it”.
    He talks about his fondness of local roads versus interstates.
    While doing that he notices a gentleman’s club with an interesting famous name, a delicious looking roadside restaurant and a small local rural bowling alley.

    Eventually , somewhere in the last 15 minutes he talks about being an uncle and all that comes with it.

    Please feel free and good about leaving a message/ voicemail on the Dumbing it Down with Dave HOTLINE. 347-338-8487.
    Leave a clean 30,60,90 second message and maybe , just maybe , no promises , Dave will play it on the air.

    Eat Like a King, Feel Like an Olympian

    Eat Like a King, Feel Like an Olympian
    Traveling south from Rensselaer NY, through Castleton, Stuyvesant, Stockport, Hudson and Catskill on 9J, on his way home , Dave records a Dumbcast,in a carcast, in a Podcast.
    You’re riding shotgun with Dave. Sit comfortably and enjoy the ride in his 2008 KIA Rio LX.
    You’re pretty safe here… for the most part.
    We do a mileage report as the Kia also known as a porta poddy crosses 324,910 miles.
    Woo hoo.
    It’s 38° and absolutely sunny during the drive as we’re southbound along the Hudson River and parallel to the Amtrak railroad tracks as it passes me by. Pretty impressive.
    After a brief explanation that no one cares about, Dave gets to his weigh in. He’s been eating strictly Carnivore since Mid-October of 2023.
    He started at 297lbs and is now down to 253.6.
    That’s almost 44lbs. Woo hoo.
    But as a pragmatic we know it’s not about the numbers. Dave looks at total fitness a different way.
    Dave uses the measure of activity to measure FITness. The more active you are chances are you’re healthier and more fit.

    Dave also discusses his feelings on different disciplines.
    He discusses opportunities for growth.
    He discusses his Boxing training.
    Are kids today mastering disciplines?
    If not what does that mean for the future?
    Does discipline offer hope?

    We read listeners comments.
    We previously discussed what we’ve quit.
    Next episode we hope to discuss what we want to learn, to master or to experience growth with.

    Dave mentions how he would like to live the next 30 years like he should have lived his first 30 years.

    Lower the Volume and Stop yelling! #317

    Lower the Volume and Stop yelling!  #317
    In this episode, amongst other things, Dave talks way too loud, and remind himself to stop yelling.
    Please accept our apologies for yelling and over modulating on a hot mic.
    It has been over 2 1/2 months since episode 316, and there’s just no real good reason for it.
    Thank you for your patience and willingness to listen to this episode.

    You do you, I do me. #316

    You do you, I do me. #316
    In this episode amongst many things Dave tries to podcast while on the edge of exhaustion.
    The show starts off quiet and gets a little loud 30 seconds in when Dave starts talking.
    At least you can hear him over the noise of the Kia on the NY Thruway.
    He initiates a conversation about doing the mileage report but he never gets to it. Already he’s way too exhausted but he pushes through.
    Maybe there will be a mileage report next episode.
    Do you use the word ilk often? Dave doesn’t.
    Here’s the definition:

    ….a type of people or things similar to those already referred to…

    What’s your energy suck? #313

    What’s your energy suck? #313
    What sucks your energy down? Is it a who? Is there a why? Mine are obstacles. I’ll overcome many of them, but the immovable ones drain me to zero. Then they linger around like an evil spirit in my brain, causing all sorts of problems.
    Problems that affect my mental and emotional well being. Problems that affect my productivity in life and keep me from moving forward. I’m aware if it. I’m embracing it and dealing with it. I’m not taking medication for it. I’m acknowledging it. Be aware when it happens and take it one step at a time.
    I can do better. I’ll do better. I won’t stop trying. I’m already better.
    Thank you for reading this and listening to this episode.
