First One Back, Part 1

In this episode, Yergz is back in Tampa and has been up all night. This trip back was not a direct flight. The crew for his connecting flight "timed out," meaning that prior delays caused them to expend all of their permitted time, as per the FAA. Being that it was the last flight of the day, another crew wasn't ready until first thing in the morning. Boarding wouldn't be until 4.5 hours later! But we're back as usual, Jane now with a "Yeti" microphone and sounding just great! Here's Part 1 of M...

We Tried In Person

In this episode, Yergz and Jane continue the conversation, having just successfully recorded an episode with Yergz as the guest on B Inspired , as usual, hosted by Jane.

Then, it was Yergz' turn and the internet wasn't willing to cooperate. So before the cocktail party at Studio B, Yergz and Jane met again, this t...

In this episode, Jane and Yergz are inspired to discuss defining or "transforming" moments that made them better people. Yergz goes back to Episode 1, when they talked about 9/11 and where they were.
