Chips!

In this episode, special co-host guest, Lindsay Hanson and myself chat it up with Family Feud celebrity, Mr. Chuck Mahone.  Chuck also was a 2 time SGA President during his time at CMU.  Lindsay and I don't hold back with your deep, thought provoking questions such as: does the SGA president have the power to cancel classes on St. Patrick's Day, or was Steve Harvey's mustache as magical as it appears on TV? 

Unknown to Chuck and Lindsay before we recorded, I got my chance to play the role of Steve Harvey with 3 questions I survey from fellow CMU alumni.  Listen in to see what the number one response to this question, what is your favorite bar in Mount Pleasant?

My continue thanks and appreciation to Dan Louisell who wrote and performed the Fired Up Forever! podcast theme song.  Check out Dan's YouTube channel to see some of his original music and sketch shows.  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWzUd3J3_tT7ETw-fUP80fA

Stay Fired Up Chips!

Chips!

The episode title says it all! Truly, how many of us "younger" chips know the history of this team? Maybe some of us know by causal conversation among chips, stories posted in newspapers or online, CMU parents who attended during that time retelling stories, or anywhere in between.

My run with this story started with a posting in the CMU group by Justin Newsome, son of 1974 CMU player, Rick Newsome.  It seems that Rick, while serving as a police officer, lost his 1974 National Championship ring during a hot pursuit .  Years later, by a miracle, Rick was able to find his lost ring in the Detroit river, right where the suspect pursuit ended.  Justin posted a newspaper clip in the CMU group and I was curious to know more.

This episode is an inside look to the details of finding that ring and how CMU became to be a dominate force in 1974.  

Enjoy!

In making his return to the podcast, Mr. Dan Louisell from The Burning Bushes, joins in on the Vegan Food Recipe talk as the show's special guest  co-host.  Dan definitely brings his charm, jokes, and story of how he and his family made the choice to go to a plant base diet.  The change drastically transforms his life from the path he was on. 

The spotlight of the show is on CMU Alumni Lindsay Hanson who spent two years transforming all of her plant base recipes into a complete recipe book named, "Graze".  Though I am not Vegan myself, I do like to experiment with different types of foods that fuels my passion for outdoors activities.  I received Lindsay's recipe book after this interview and love the Black Bean Burgers more than I thought I would.

What I love about this conversation with Dan and Lindsay, nobody is here to shame or say "Vegan or nothing!"  It is truly a discussion about our healthy food journeys, and looking forward to how we can spend more time having beers with friends.

One part of the recording does reference the Netflix documentary, "The Game Changer".  The link is to a study on the effects of meat vs plant base on the male erection.
