Season 6, Episode 18 – Where is all your tax dollars going?

By -
To quote the
brothers of the D, the government totally
sucks. Seanorama and FastFretFingers discuss your tax dollars and all of
the various ways the government collects it, coffers it and mismanages it. Why
is there never any money left and why do they keep creating new revenue streams
to drain your wallet? Alcohol, fuel, income tax, GST, PST, RST (the woman tax),
photo radar, casinos, marijuana… the list goes on and they keep sucking us dry
while they somehow run out of money.

On the other
side of the coin the brothers discuss tax rates and the level of happiness of
other countries. What are the top 11 countries (why 11, because top 10 lists
are passé) in terms of happiness and how do their
tax levels determine their happiness?

A hint of
what is coming next, keep your ears peeled for the next episode where we have a
very special guest, someone I have wanted to have on the Podcast for some time.
Who will it be?

I've been eyeing the book Talk to Me: How to Ask Better Questions, Get Better Answers, and Interview Anyone Like a Pro by Dean Nelson for some time now. However every time I had a little money to spend there was always something else that needed to be picked up or had more value in my mind.   I was delighted then when I found out that the book was available as an audio book via Audible. Even better I had a monthly credit available and no other books in their repetoir were calling out to me. So with a click I am finally getting to, not read, but experience this book on my ride to and from work. It couldn't have come at a better time.  I've been looking for a podcast idea of my own that would allow me to try out my own journalistic skills. It's occurred to me on more than one occasion that I've been very fortunate in my lifetime to have been able to meet and befriend some very talented people. People like Laurie Smith and George Freeman, Lar DeSouza and others.  Init

Some time ago my mother had asked me if there was a way to convert a shoebox of old VHS tapes of my dads old games and interviews to digital format.  We found and purchased a analog to digital converter from Amazon.ca and I recently got around to hooking it up to an old VHS player that we fortunately still had and our computer. This is the first interview that I have uploaded using the converter and edited in DaVinci resolve. If you want to skip ahead my fathers interview starts at 1:01:16.  ~CoreyGeek

Oh yeah, that's a strip

Sometimes the strips featured on Meet the Geeks are based on reality. And often I find myself in these moments quoting Clay "aannnd... That's a strip"  Take last night for example.  Spring and I have a love/hate relationship. I love spring for the resurrection of life, fewer bugs and cooler pre-summer temperatures. I hate spring because of my allergies, and they have been acting up with a vengeance.  Last night I was sent to bed by my wife around 7:30. I was exhausted and in need of a good, solid nights sleep.  After crawling into bed and dozing for a bit I started feeling the first tickles of an itch forming. I tried to ignore it. But sometimes it just feels so damned satisfying to scratch. And scratch I did.  For the next several hours.  It got to the point that I was trying to draw blood because pain is better than those itches. The ones at your joints. The ones that scurry around under your skin as your scratching fingers desperatel
