Diversion is another excellent technique with kids.

Please PM me for a link if you would like to be in the preview audience of the audio podcast. Our "show #0" is just under an hour long. It's a downloadable MP3 or you can just listen to it in your web browser. It's 95% ready (it needs a music tag to end it) but I was thinking maybe a couple of y'all would like to listen to it and give me some feedback. If you have an hour to waste. I mean if you don't like it after 15 minutes, you can bail, just openly tell me why you did. Thanks in advance.

I'm listening while I work.. This is pretty cool, Tony. you racist bastard.

fargon · 03-28-2013, 09:41 AM

I listend this morning. That job would make me a raciest.

Sounds racist, maybe. Is racist? Not really. it's more about drug culture than it is about black culture.

I loved it. UT and his cohort play well off each other, and I loved the statement that "reality" tv pawn is the pro-wrestling of pawn.

Pawn Stars is really about the desperation of Vegas. Hardcore Pawn is a family soap opera that happens to be set in a pawn shop. HP is probably a mite closer to the real deal. Only Bigger. I don't recall ever driving past (never going in, heaven forfend) a pawnshop in Philadelphia with that kind of square footage.

It's causing a minor drama at the shop because Alan, the manager, is super uncomfortable with the idea of podcasting the shop's business. He has dedicated his life to keeping everything about it super-secret.

He feels like he can't say no but wants to find a reason to say no.

If he does, it's two weeks notice time for me...

You're not identifying which ghetto you are in, not indicating the name of the shop, not saying anything identifiable ... What I might consider is not using your own names. You could become a hit amongst pawn shop employees as well as regular folk. Shop owners everywhere will be trying to figure out which of THEIR employees is telling their stories because of the commonality of experience.

Undertoad · 03-28-2013, 10:51 AM

It looks like this will not be happening.

I am terribly disappointed...

glatt · 03-28-2013, 11:09 AM

That sucks. Sorry UT.

Undertoad · 03-28-2013, 11:26 AM

Mine was the only real name used.

I've given notice. The thread dies here! Goddammit.

Bummer.

Probably best for you, UT. But it was certainly entertaining and educational.
