Do as we say...not as we do...

(The Gorillamen know best...)

You will listen to this episode and like it because we made it and we are in control...

Okay, so you probably know by now that we are two of the least controlling people on the planet. But it's a good topic worthy of discussion, so...our gift to you (and what we discuss):

• When did you first become aware of the concept of control?
• Were you raised in a controlling household?
• Are you a controlling person?
• What is your opinion of controlling people?
• Any interesting stories about dealing with a controlling person?
• Why do you think some people are controlling?
• How do you deal with controlling people?
• How controlling do you think most U.S. workplaces are?
• What role does control play in politics?
• Do you think any good comes out of being controlling or having control? (On an individual or even societal level.)
• What are the downsides of trying to have or maintain control?
• What is the future of control?

Tick...Tock...the clock never stops.

You pull your back toweling off after a shower.

Sooooooooo many responsibilities!

Youth is in the rear view mirror; being officially "old" shines in the headlights.

But it's not all that bad; in fact, it's pretty fuckin' awesome!
