Don't Make This About Me

Harold Lee returns to the podcast to drop some knowledge on his youngest grandson. Topics covered are Elkton Diner history, Turkey's role in World War I, bringing train service back to Elkton, how we are related to General John Buford and his role in the Civil War. Also we talk of Harold's mother's experience teaching school in the bayou. Cameos from grandmother Frances Lee and family friend Jim Kline. Thanks to the estates of Hank Williams and Patsy Cline. @DMTAMpod

Mary Jane Watson makes her return to the Don't Make This About Me airwaves. Mary Jane Watson tells Sanchez about some recent dreams and what they all mean. We shoot the breeze and catch up on what's been going on since Sanchez started living a sober lifestyle. What made Mary Jane Watson quit smoking marijuana? Also, there is a cameo by Kamran, Mary's 5 year old son. Thanks to Dokken for the music. @DMTAMpod on Twitter

Sanchez flies solo this week and gives some insight on the past two weeks. From attending a recent SmackDown! taping in Hershey, PA to the rigmarole of DE's Drug Diversion Program, Sanchez covers the events that peppered his 25th birthday week. What made him quit the Comedic Storytelling Class? How did he celebrate his birthday? All this and more! @DMTAMpod

Today is the 90th birthday of our guest, Midge Prigel. This is the final installment of my interview with her. We wrap things up talking about music and experiences seeing live entertainment. Be sure to check out past installments dmtam.podomatic.com Thanks to Meredith Wilson, Franklin Lacey and The Beatles on the music. @DMTAMpod

Now we get to what everyone was waiting for. The history of Trinity United Methodist Church in Chesapeake City, MD. From 1961 on, Midge and Jim have attended Trinity UMC and share various anecdotes. From the story of the stained glass windows to the background of the historical documents on display, we cover a lot of ground. Thanks to Jim Reeves on the music. @DMTAMpod on Twitter.

This is a departure from the past couple weeks. This is NSFW and contains strong and explicit language. We lead off with Mary Jane Watson and her saga of buying a car from an online government auction. The second story is a living example of why they should ban drinking and podcasting. SANCHEZ and friends takes a turn and chronicles what the end of the night sounds like when you get too turnt. We also visit with Karlo Botz to talk about how this generation is hurt by not learning the same things they did 20 years ago. We end with another buzzed conversation, this time mainly featuring Melanie and Alyssa. These two entertained me at a gathering of work friends. I assume responsibility for all of it. @DMTAMpod on Twitter

Midge Prigel joins us again this week to discuss the part of her life leading up to her arrival at Trinity United Methodist Church. We cover everything from family life, early church experiences, school and college. What was Midge's roll in the history of the Girl Scouts? What connection does Midge have with SANCHEZ's great grandfather? All these topics and more will be discussed at length. The picture is one Midge painted over 25 years ago. Thanks to The Corries and Kevin Nash for the music. @DMTAMpod on twitter

With cameos from SANCHEZ's grandmother Frances and Midge's husband Jim, Don't Make This About Me gets a history lesson with Midge Prigel! Midge is the historian of SANCHEZ's childhood church, Trinity United Methodist in Chesapeake City, MD. Midge learns about podcasting and what exactly she is involved in. This is just part 1 in a series that will be released between now and Midge's 90th birthday. While this edition ends abruptly as Midge grabs her monocular, we cover her childhood and growing up during the Depression. Thanks to Elvis Presley and The Corries for the music. @DMTAMpod on Twitter!

The episode that eventually had to happen. A mash up of life events, both past and recent. SANCHEZ tells a story of that time he got hit by a car. Mary Jane Watson returns and tells the story of a recent break-up. Talk of friendship from two who have seen it all from each other and realize they are in it for the long run. Thanks to Andrew Gold for the music. @DMTAMpod on Twitter

Live from "Slow Ride" SANCHEZ visits with his friend Karlo Botz. This man keeps the conversation flowing with talk of everything from Magnum P.I. to the end of the world and why cell phones aren't good for any of us. We talk Chesapeake City life and where we think the future will take us. Or where we take the future? Thanks to Foghat for the music. @DMTAMpod on Twitter.

A trio of stories culled from the archives of Don't Make This About Me. Two of these audio nuggets feature Mary Jane Watson. The first story features the young lady and her cooking shenanigans. The second anecdote is something I was told by a relative that always made me giggle. We top it off with SANCHEZ's friend BJ. Thanks to Death for the music. Thanks to Talking Heads for the music. This is sponsored by your local Hibachis Restaurant and smoke detectors. @DMTAMpod

On the way to the Deptford Mall, the kids chat about Jersey and other subjects along the way. Things like out of state traveling and pregnancy. Thanks to Berto, Melanie, Alyssa and Coy. Thanks to Eminem on the music. Brought to you by Mopar @DMTAMpod

Some of the Baker Boys (and Girls) piled into Coy's Charger for a trip to the US Foods headquarters in New Jersey. We talk about food, movies, drugs in the headlines, wrestling, Super Bowl, and New Jersey. This is unedited and NSFW. Explicit language, you know how the kids talk. An edited, clean version with added material will be coming in the future. Thanks to Coy, Alyssa, Berto and Melanie for letting me do this. Thanks to Beyoncé for the music.

Jordan joins us again this week, hanging out with SANCHEZ. This occurred in a few locations. SANCHEZ finally gets to hear what happened when Weezer played a show at the mall. Stories of the past ten years from our youngest guest. NSFW, we both cuss like sailors. Might make some uncomfortable. Thanks to Dave Matthews Band and Weezer on the music. @DMTAMpod Brought to you by Taco Bell.

Our youngest guest so far on DMTAM, Jordan! SANCHEZ met Jordan working at Baker's and Jordan was happy to come on the show. This is just part 1 of their conversation. Jordan joined SANCHEZ on New Years Eve day to run some errands and look back on where each of us has been in life. A fun talk that just scratches the surface. Thanks to GWAR and Kansas for the music!

The most controversial episode of Don't Make This About Me to date. On December 18, 2013 SANCHEZ and a friend were sitting in the Cobalt minding their own business... don't all great stories start out like that? Call it wrong place, wrong time. Or call it stupidity. Either way, at the end of this story, SANCHEZ received a summons to appear in court on February 7. What happened to him and how did he acquire this summons? LISTEN AND FIND OUT! Thanks to Mike Post for the music. Thanks to Inner Circle for the other music. @DMTAMpod on Twitter.

We bring you the conclusion of my conversation with Mr. Duffy and Drew. We talk about a little bit of everything. Drew gives us background on his life in NC, Mr. Duffy shares stories of fatherhood and baseball. Just a few guys catching up and enjoying some Waffle House. Thanks to Ella Fitzgerald and Brian "Guitar Guy" Haner for the music. Thanks to Jim Gaffigan for the comedic stylings.

SANCHEZ meets up with Mr. Duffy and Drew for breakfast at Waffle House. While this setting is unorthodox for a podcast, it was a familiar and comfortable experience. Confirmation meetings often took place under the roof of a Waffle House, turning SANCHEZ into a regular. We decided to catch up during Christmas Break. Part 2 coming next week. Thanks to Jolie Holliday for the music. Thanks to Mr. Duffy for the contribution to our lives. @DMTAMpod

SANCHEZ flies solo this week as he reflects on Christmas past. This is an opportunity for SANCHEZ to run down his favorite Christmas songs, gifts, movies and wrestling moments. Thanks to Weird Al, Billy Squire and fake "GNR's" White Christmas. Thanks to Stitcher Radio for allowing us to join your family of shows. @DMTAMpod on Twitter. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL from Don't Make This About Me!

Sifting through the archives, I found some yet to be heard conversations with friends at bonfires. These are not full conversations, just funny non-sequiturs that made us laugh and hopefully will make you laugh. Just 10 friends with guitars, a roaring fire and maybe a drink. Just one, that we all shared. These are all clips from different times during two different bonfires. The highlight being "Alyssa Finishes Your Sentence." Thank you to Berto, Melaynee, Lyss, Coy, Beej, Jon, J$, Jess, and Jordan for participating and making me laugh. Thank you to the estate of Morton Downey Jr. for the music (intro, middle and outro). @DMTAMpod on Twitter
