"Well, it's supposed to be a podcast about amazing stories that lift your spirits... but I think Jack and Kent get drunk before every episode, so I never know how it will turn out. It's a little like crap-herding. You know?" ~The Operator
Each episode - three amazing stories. From the weird wizards at 11:59 Media, join The Operator, Jack Luna, and Kent Chungus for their never-daily podcast. The Op tries to keep everything moving in a straight line. But like a drunk chimp, things always seem to go off the rails. They may be imperfect, but they fit perfectly with each other. Hugs. ❤️

Can you handle two guys? Telling two great stories? Well, sit back, relax, and take it all in. Kent drags us through some terrible people to bring us to a bright and shining example of a great people. And The Op finds a story with so many twists that it would make scoliosis blush.
Hugs. ❤️

To Beach Their Own • Un-gifted Program
The never-daily podcast is back! In this episode, Kent and The Op take a whirlwind, worldwide tour, where the whirlwinds leave us dead in the water, and stuck with unwanted baggage. And in true 11:59 Media fashion, we ham-fistedly discuss skin color, road rage, and pizza as a diet. If you love chickens, you'll love this episode. Hugs. 🫀

Steven • Life Preserver • A Poor Kid
Thugs and drugs apparently rhyme with hugs... so Jack talks at length about them. Inventing a new element to the podcast dubbed "needing a hug."In an oddly-unplanned move, we each tell stories about kids. Some are lost, some are moist, and some never seem to grow up. Hugs. ❤️
