A Walk in the Park with Dad on Call Me Maybe Not 6-22-17

June 22, 2017

                    Anything Can’t Happen Thursday brings A Walk in the Park with Dad, featuring Bella Feldpoodle and Michael Feldman to the always puzzling goings-on at the Facebook Live sensation–maybe that’s too strong–Call Me Maybe Not, brought to you by the good folk at Whad’ya Know Podcast.

It’s more than a man walking his dog, or a dog walking his man. It’s inter-species co-dependence, and that’s a beautiful thing.  Call Me Maybe Not airs on the side of Live on Tuesdays & Thursdays at noon CDT on Michael Feldman’s Facebook page, and should take about 37 minutes of your lunch break.

You can call in for a chance at the Whad’ya Know One-fer Quiz. Also it’s on the Whad’ya Know Podcast mantle on iTunes. You can run but you cannot hide from Call Me Maybe Not.

Call Me Maybe Not–because you just have to go back to work.

Universities

Monks

Beer (see Monks)

Chaucer

Cathedrals

Genghis Khan DNA
