Description

Geeg Wiles thought "why not" when given the opportunity to continue a decades-long prank of sorts. That's how Geeg and Ahab's Adventures began, and continue still. Geeg says he is the caretaker of the 40 pound wooden gnome-like wannabe pirate captain in the painted-on yellow fisherman's coat.They have gone skydiving, ziplining, rafting and just hanging out for a craft beer. Geeg is a motivational speaker who brings Ahab along to talk about goal setting, and how 5 minutes at a time is a very doable plan. How heavy is YOUR excuse? How about 40 solid pounds on your shoulder like an 80's boombox?Join the many who ask Geeg, "What's up with the gnome?"

Lisa David Olson has two decades of writing and performing comedy experience, as well as speaking on how humor saved her life. Be the nosy neighbor and listen in as she interviews people she barely knows, (or hasn't yet met) to hear about their weird life stories or quirky careers. There's a lady who says she can communicate with your dog, a man who used to be a zen monk, and even a guy from Russia who gave himself up for adoption at age 9.Expect a few laughs sprinkled in as guests are invited to share a prank or embarrassing moment too. When your host is a bold and curious beast - anything goes. This podcast is an offshoot of Lisa's project in bravery, called Serious Selfies With Strangers; where a dare for a non-smiling photo with someone she had not yet met always created a moment of laughter, and often forged the way to new friendships that would never have been.Books available; Laughs On Wry; an improvisor's memoir and What If's and Why Nots; a journal full of creative cues to unravel stuck moments.
