Summary

Early in my career, I spent some time in Decatur, Illinois at a TV station in that region that was responsible for coverage of pretty much everything that took place in the state.  Chicago, St Louis, major sports and incredible collegiate teams.  One of the gentlemen I worked with was Doug Wolf.  Here's where it gets interesting. Doug is still there, at that very same station some 42 years later! His is a wonderful story and he's really quite the gentleman with a colorful history in the community. The story will take us both back to a time that is very much long gone and some shared stories I'm sure you'll appreciate.  it's a fun little history lesson and some entertaining discussion.  Please join us for something that is a once in a lifetime discussion.  OK, seasons change and so do you.  It's warming up and you want to be sure you're keeping your hair and holes tamed.  C'mon, you know your partner doesn't want to deal with that hairy mess down there.  Not to mention, it probably doesn't have a springtime fresh fragrance either.   Here's what you need to do to keep that raging bush under control and ready for action.   Check out your personal grooming products from Manscaped.  You're going to love their stuff.  You'll also love the deal when you type in NAPES in the discount code and get free shipping plus a  20% discount!
