Good Night with Dick Summer

Sometimes it's hard to get to sleep.You just can't seem to say goodnight to yourself. Booze helps sometimes...or pills. But that's a big step down a bad street. "Good Night" puts a smile on your face, tells you a bedtime story, helps you chuck the day's problems, gives you a verbal back rub, and tucks you in for a safe, sound, sleep. Dick Summer's voice puts a strong and friendly arm around your shoulder. You hear him on television commercials all day. But when it's getting late, and you want to "take the day and shove it," but you can't seem to say good night to yourself... Dick's Podcast is a quiet place to rest your head...a safe place to hide a hurting heart...a gentle place to fall. It's a comfortable way to tell yourself, "Good Night."

• The Klunker

  Sunday, May 5, 2024

  18 minutes

  I drive a klunker. You can hear me coming for blocks. Klunk, klunk, bang bang klunk. I love that sound. It's a guy sound. I says I'm a guy, I don't care that I have to drive through a nasty neighborhood by myself at midnight. I'm a guy. I can take care of myself. Klunk, klunk, klunker, bang, bang. My buddy Mike has a brand new Chevvy Corvette. It goes vroom, vroom. But Mike hardly goes anywhere in it because he doesn't trust parking it on the street. Vroom, vroom attracts the bad guys. But who gets to go first when we come to a four way stop sign? To find out, give a listen to this podcast.

• A Guy's Plans Are Written In The Sands

  Sunday, April 21, 2024

  17 minutes

  A new car was definitely not written in my plans just now, but look in our garage...there one sits. Expensive? Yes. About as much as most of one retirement year will probably cost. Of course, you never can tell. My life hasn't usually run according to plan. On the whole, it's been a little like buying a box of chocolates, and eating the first goodie, and finding another layer under the one on top. Of course sometimes the second layer turns out to have 6 legs, and scurries away as soon as light hits it. I wonder what kind of "Second Layer" will this car turn out to be.

  All my "Little income tax write-offs,"played baseball. And not just the guys either,.

She took a jump off a 40 foot New England cliff and calmly went for a swim...every Summer. It was a very emphatic answer to a very clear gender question. Give a listen. It'll clear up any questions instantly.

• Wonder Wench Turns On Me When I Drive

  Sunday, March 24, 2024

  17 minutes

  She screams at me just because one or two wheels come off the ground when I turn around a corner. She yells "WATCH OUT" if I so much as bump into a sidewalk to avoid a red light. One wrong turn getting off a highway, just because it's an on ramp, you wouldn't believe the language. When I swerve back onto the road, as a safety measure, nothing but criticism. She's so nice other times, but it's getting so as this podcast admits that I really hate driving when she's in the car, with me.

  The five important elements of a news story are, who, what, when, where, and why. And the most important of the elements is almost always "WHY". Why did some big wheel do what he did? Killing somebody is an awful crime. Unless you do it to stop him from killing somebody else. We give medals (justly) to guys who kill lots of other guys who are wearing a different uniform. Almost everything is done in a CONTEXT. A "WHY". Why don't you give a listen to this podcast? You might like it.
