Eric talks about how important it is to find a passion in life and to treat it as a job with complete dedication and belief in being able to reach goals.
And, of course, Brandy has a few quirky questions and wait until you hear who Eric would give three wishes to and why (prepare to get a little emotional)

Secret Crafting Societies, HoneyComb Binging & Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Musical with Comedian Amy Sloan
Comedian, writer and producer of Hootin' Hollerin' Comedy Night, Amy Sloan stops by 4680Q to chat with the witty, yet totally ADHD host of 4680Q's Off Topic with Brandy Ford.
Amy's quick thinking and bubbly personality perfectly matches Brandy's rapidly changing train of thoughts and the ladies discuss the perils of having too many good ideas, what classic movies should be made into musicals and how people need to create opportunities, believe in possibilities and "just 'Field of Dreams' that shit!"
And they even have a pretty damn insightful conversation about the world of stand-up comedy: how it feels to "get a laugh", the differences between performing on stage and producing a show, and why the heck do audiences think it's acceptable to interrupt a comedian in the middle of a live performance? Really though! What kind of jerk does that?
Plus, what's an episode of Off Topic with Brandy Ford without some sort of quirky game? Amy becomes the first guest to spin the Wheel of Wit to determine which game she'll play and it landed upon the steamy new "HOT MINUTE WITH BRANDY" segment.
Laughs, reflection and even a bit of bonding over the idiocy of brothers, Amy & Brandy's episode definitely went Off Topic!
