Nerd Pride Radio

Someone killed my dog. What should I do?

What did you do with Phil?

What kind of insurance should I get? Term life or whole life? Accidental death & dismemberment? Short-term and/or long-term disability?

What were the big happenings in the town square today?

Phil do you ever think about the fact that we were all children once who were picked up every day and one day put down and never picked up again?

I will hang up and listen.

Speak for yourself on that one; some of us are picked up with fair regularity. This thing went off the rails a long ways back, when a pancake-wrapped steak was deemed insufficient for... whatever.

For some people, it's a way of life. Now we know why.

Hello everyone! I'm new here, but Mike asked me come by and serve as the new advice columnist for Nerd Pride Radio. Mike and I are old friends (more than he even knows) and I thought, "That sounds great! What else do I have going on right now?" So here I am.

A little bit about me. My name is Phil Connors. I'm currently single, but have been married once before. No kids, but I've had "foster kids" that I've essentially raised as my own flesh and blood. Professionally speaking, I have a background in journalism and meteorology. I've kicked around local stations, mostly in the Northeast, serving as a weatherman-- first mornings, then featured evenings (I won't bore you with the details of local news office politics). I've also dabbled in on-camera reporting at various stations.

I guess the reason Mike thought I'd be good as an advice columnist is that I'm kind of a jack-of-all-trades. You name it, I've probably done it at some point in my life. Pianist? Check. Professional chef? Check. Fluent in Esperanto? Check (and many other languages that aren't dead). Relationships? Check- both long term and... less committal. Jeopardy champion? Not officially, but unofficially? Check. In short, I have a lot of life experience and bring a lot to the table when it comes to advice.

So have at it! What questions do you have for me? What can Phil Connors help you with?
