Dame Clarissa Burt is a tornado!!!  She has done everything and, better, talks about everything.  After 20+ years as a runway model in Europe, she came back to the US, produced Miss Universe, started her own production company and, just for fun, I think she ran NASA for a few years in the '90s.  And yes, she's a Dame, so don't screw with her, or me, now that I know her.  Clarissa is a ton of fun with a ton of stories and, somehow, some way, she's 65.  You have to watch the podcast to believe it.

Hands down, the best podcast I've ever had.  Jannette Anderson is among the coolest people I know, and not just because she's from frigid Canada.  We talked about her jobs in phone sex, the time she sold all her family's possessions at the age of 5 and a bunch of other outrageous life stories.   We didn't talk much about her business but that was only because nothing could top her personal life.  Listen to this one, it's a winner.

I can't describe Harvey Wizard or the podcast I just had with him so I'm not going to try.

All I can tell you is that he is the self-proclaimed Most Interesting Man in the World and, for those of you only interested in the USA to the exclusion of the rest of the planet, also the self-proclaimed Most Brutally Honest Man in America. 

And he's running for president in 2024.

And he had two vasectomies. 

OK, that's it.  Listen to the podcast.  It is, uh, interesting.

Dan Indante is both middle aged and a mess which, yes, are redundant but also grist for the mill of this podcast, appropriately titled Middle Age Mess. Cruising through his 50's with a bad back and the realization that he's figured nothing out despite five decades of trying, he decided to start interviewing a few people who might teach him a few things about appropriate aging or, more likely, distract him from the carnage that is his geriatric life.

This episode features Newport Beach, CA - based doctor, Jason Amstutz, a health professional who combines chiropractic care with a revolutionary whole-body based treatment program to remedy back aches, muscle deterioration and all the other ailments geezers like Indante seem to find when they wake up every morning.
