Diary of a Bald Man

In this episode, I have the opportunity to speak with Jaykob “Dylan” Morse about his new podcast show, The Morse Code.

Originally from Alabama and now growing older and wiser in McMinnville, TN – this former firefighter/EMT, now safety consultant, farmer, and well-spoken chatterbox is about to bring a new level of communication to the hearing impaired. And that includes me!

Information about the guest Jaykob Morse and The Morse Code

In this episode, I discuss how change can either bring you down, elevate you to new levels, or leave you covered in tears.

No one likes when life throws a fast curveball when we are used to catching cotton.

But why do we hold back when we stop and think about the things we never experienced and the strength that new experiences provide?

Lets find out.

Diary of a Bald Man

When we think about the many things in our lives that affect us, very little time is spent reflecting on our impact on that environment and our own life.

In this podcast, we think, reflect, and discuss the significant impact that recent guests have had on listeners and how it impacts our thoughts on others.

Diary of a Bald Man

How do you go from winning a bronze medal at 18 to working at nuclear facilities in your early twenties? One step at a time.

Listen as Daniele, and I discuss the first time we met, then eventually working together while developing and consistently improving as one of the top welders in her field.

From having boots on the ground in Chattanooga, TN, during the SkillsUSA event, to turning metal into functional pieces and art in Missouri, her only path is onward and upward.

More about Daniele

For many of us, the first step is often the most challenging part of any endeavor or journey in life. But for one man to inspire others to take that first step and drive onward without a final distance or destination is an even more challenging task. That is until they meet and speak with Mateusz “Matt” Marcinowski.

Originating in Poland, now hitting the roads of Massachusetts, Matt Marcinowski is breaking down the mental and physical obstacles for many of his professional and TikTok followers, one mile and one day at a time.

Listen in as Matt discusses what led him on his quest for personal well-being and what he does to aid others in finding their way.

See Matt in action

Now that I am 55 – I realize that I have far surpassed my personal expiration date.

In this episode, let us focus on slowing down and altering the constant mental race to perfection, happiness, or misery – It’s a race that will never end because there are no goals in sight.

Everything is in our mind.

The Thinning Grey Line looks at the climbing number of Gen X alums who are no longer with us. What, outside of the dramatic increase of diabetes, colon cancer, breast cancer, alcoholism, and opiods are causing this rocketing issue?

In the age of Social Media and instant information, with AI surging, who will be left behind to prevent the adults of tomorrow from being led into mental slaughter? This generation obsessed with getting likes, shares, and accolades is doomed to fall at the whims and clicks of others.

“Stop checking your likes,” and more by Susie Moore

To say that the start of November would be dull is a total lie. Not only did we lose daylight savings, we have the elections, hurricanes off of Florida, the lunar eclipse, and a massive load of flu-like symptoms in Tennessee, South Carolina, and Alabama – nothing but fun days ahead.

In this episode, the bald man discusses and informs you on hair care, recordable incidents, and how the Dollar Store can save you from unforeseen suicidal deer and make coworkers happier.

Is this accident recordable?

From my time on Wake Island in 2005 through 2007, I had to find a new way to live and survive in an environment to which I was not accustomed.

From the “smooth coffee” that Papa would give me to take the edge off (coffee with Kahlua) to handing out pennies for a safe mindset and sweeping a hallway at 5 am, there are small things and perspectives we can perform, to improve the piece of the world we live in.

You did not know this until today, but former Presidents Abraham Lincoln, Barack Obama, Albert Einstein, Hillary Clinton, the inventor Nicola Tesla, Elon Musk,  the actress Jodie Foster, and many others – plus me, all have one thing in common. We are INTJs.

From the villages of the Philippines in 1974 and throughout my time on Guam from 1978 through 1985, I never met a stranger, just someone I was getting ready to know through shared likes, cultural awareness, and a cup of coffee.

The oddest realization did not come to me until I had boots on the ground in Tennessee. The only person in the room I did not know was myself. And I am still learning about myself to this day.

In this episode, learn what it takes to realize yourself and become more enlightened from it.

Meyers Briggs Jung Typology

In this episode you will be reminded the mindset, and focus are derived from not only the music, sounds, and conversations that we take part in, but the level or lack of effort we place on ourselves.

There is nothing that we can not do or accomplish – and I mean nothing. If the damn Wright Brothers could glide their happy asses over Kittyhawk, North Carolina, then you can reach for the heavens and snatch a comet out of orbit.

Thanks to the fantastic audio magic from Keith Kramer:

In this episode you will be reminded that “an apple a day, keeps the doctor away.” To hell with the apple – look what the apple did for Eve, Snow White, or any roasted pig! Yeah, onions will fight bacteria, reduce gut issues, and keep annoying mouth breathers at bay.

Then you find out in the 1800’s, how Dr. John Harvey Kellogg is trying to reduce the act of masturbation through corn flakes, and circumcisions, while at the same time, Dr. Joseph Granville is massaging women’s naughty bits to remove hysteria, and later develops vibrators!

People get their inspiration handed to them once, maybe twice in a lifetime. Then, depending on how they absorb it, they fail only to rebuild into something better or bust at the seams and never recover.

In this episode, you will hear from the one and only Sheldon Primus, who not only trained me for the COSS designation but the man who guided me into podcasting and positively influencing others. Did I mention that he developed me into one of the best consultants in East Tennessee? Yeah – he did that too!

For the first time, I interview a guest on the Diary of a Bald Man.

But it is not just any guest, it is the one and only, Chance Roberts.

Chance is not only a published writer, safety professional, former missionary, rancher, farmer, rodeo enthusiast, and black belt in taekwondo, he is a communicator at a level seldom seen in the safety industry.

Listen to how his plans for his future changed after a trip to China, and the inspiration to guide others into a career many avoid, came from a personal journey that was never planned for.

I can not even imagine the first man that came up with the idea of manscaping. I could see inventing a new tool or better stereo. But why in the hell did someone decide that deforesting the baby maker assembly was a great idea?

In this episode, you will hear about the tools used to keep my round dome under follicle control and the trend going around to turn your crotch into a meat saber … using fruits.

What do women's tank tops, yoga pants, and banana hammocks have in common? Probably a lot of stares and un-planned mental groping by others.

It doesn't matter if you are showing camel toes or wrapped in a bourka; the viewer's mind will bathe you in hate and discontent or get you more attention than you can imagine.

You are not responsible for how others view you. You are responsible for how you see and feel about yourself.

In this episode, I try to instill within you why what you see in the mirror only has to make you happy and confident.

Want to make her squirt?

Merriam Webster defines interruption as:  stoppage or hindering of activity for a time or a break in the continuity of something.

We are often affected by distractions throughout our day, including traffic, work obligations, chores, and other people who moderately interrupt our lives.

But if you think about it, how many times did one of those events prepare you for or prevent another incident from occurring.

In this episode, we look at how an interruption of our planned activities can save us, our relationship, or others because we took the time to hit the brakes.

The Great Winston Churchill once said, “We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give.”

When we pay it forward, are we doing so by presenting and providing in a positive and uplifting manner? Or are our actions inspired by guilt and personal greed?

As individuals, we can live in the reflections of others, or we can be a vision that inspires and produces greatness in those who see us. Don’t be like the herd of sheep on the farm, where collectively you live to comfort and warm others in the future. Be a horse that gets someone from one location to another, and when the time comes to shed that mortal coil, they turn you into the glue that keeps everything together.

In this episode, you will learn that you will do and create amazing things by starting positively. And starting negative will only have the ability to reflect on your failures.

This episode is dedicated to the fantastic listeners in Chicago and California that took Diary of a Bald Man to a new and fantastic level this week!

In this episode, you will discover the secret of me going from fat and fabulous to bald and beautiful. I shit thee nay, I was killing myself in a manner that was more dangerous than I could have dreamt of and it was a cocktail of stress, food, and the best sweet tea ever made.

I only thought that sitting on the beach ready to fire a round through the back of my throat indicated a need to change, but having someone read a chart that ended my story in a specific timeline put my life and goals into orbit.

If I can go from three hundred and thirty pounds of assured destruction to two hundred pounds of beauty and grace, then your fat ass can.

Or you can keep pulling that trigger – at least one more time.

In this episode, we look back at the year 2017 in which we saw, survived,  and participated in one of the most dangerous years in recent history

With numerous explosions and events in East Tennessee, numerous storms, hurricanes, devastating fires, exploding suicide rates, and a nationwide opioid crisis, it felt as if the world was about to end.

We had the August eclipse and the most significant surge in HAZWOPER and emergency preparedness between these life-changing events in over fifteen years.

In this episode, you will discover the fantastic and insightful new book by Chance Roberts. It, combined with the brilliant work of Sam Goodman, will unlock and take you through the gates and help you excel when others are bogged and overrun.

As it progresses, you will see how the Janus Syndrome brings out the two sides of nearly everyone you thought you knew, including yourself. Is there a public side you carry in one hand and a dark or playful side in the other? Does the weight of showing one to be accepted on social media and in the world diminish the absolute greatness of the whole of you? Listen and discover if you, too, are living a double life.

Did you ever wish that you had an erection lasting over four hours so that you had to call the 1-800 number to find medical assistance or to brag?

It sucks that as we get older, many of us lose the desire to maintain that erection and don’t give a damn about where we put it.

As we age, our hormones leave us as quickly as the memories of being vicarious and alive. We become despondent, lethargic, and bitter. There is nothing “wrong” with us; we are just drained of the chemical batteries that keep us in motion.

In this episode, learn to rebuild the foundation that must exist for the manly life to grow and strive.

Have you ever taken the time to consider whether you thought of yourself as being naughty or nice?

As a “nice” person, the sad part is that you may be the biggest a**hole in the room. If you think that I am kidding, you need to get online, find the “No more Mister Nice Guy” by Dr. Robvert Glover and do a tits-to-toe assessment of what you indeed are inside.

I am no rocket surgeon, but I know that when I looked in the mirror after reading this, I was ready to be a bad boy any day of the week!

2016 was a hell of a year.

President Obama was in office, with President Trump coming in fast on his heels.

The Russians were alleged to be hacking email servers and posting the Clintons materials on WikiLeaks

The Gotthard Base Tunnel was completed after 20 years.

That damn Justin Bieber had the top two songs for the year.

And finally, while I was working as the head of safety on a construction project in Greeneville, TN, a kidney stone helped me propose to the one person in this world, who I could not say no.

I love sinners – not because they always seem to have the most fun on TikTok, but because it means that I am not alone.

I admit it; I know that some of the cruelest and ruthless persons ever to live became saints later in life, but damn at what they did. We are talking about the former child prostitute Mary of Egypt,  the murderess Olga of Kiev, and former Satanic Priest Bartolo Longo, who are now Saints in the eyes of many.

But I digress sometimes; being a sinner is the only honest way to get things done.

If 1990 was the bitch in my life, then 1995 was the start of the ball!

Bill Clinton was president, the devastation Oklahoma City bombing occurred, OJ Simpson was not found guilty of murder, Mike Tyson was released from prison. Windows ’95, eBay, and PlayStation made their appearance after the Space Shuttle Atlantis docked with the Russian Mir space station, and Operation Desert Storm officially ended.

While so many things were ending or changing, I was physically reintroduced to the world through the beginning of the Detroit News and Free Press strike in Detroit, Michigan.

1995 was the kick in the ass to move me from low, civilian drag to ball and leg busting tactical high speed at the speed of darkness. It was the start of a hellacious five-year ride in the world filled with labor unrest and wild west-like strikes.
