## Resource

On episode 8, we had a halfway heated conversation about what is/is not art. Brian went deeper on the origins of his wristwatch obsession and Nate completed the Hallmark X-Mas Movie Challenge. This podcast features me and my great friend and former rock radio co-worker, Brian Pfiefer, also known as Cartman, while I'm Smitty, hence the title "Smartman." It's a name that fits even if we don't claim to be geniuses—just trying our best! Each episode packs a punch with a couple of segments exploring hot topics, quirky questions about life, and pop culture reviews. MY LIFE'S MISSION - The Smitty Learns Irish PubCast. https://www.youtube.com/@SmittyLearnsIrishPubCast In 2026, I'm embarking on a year-long hike through Ireland, uncovering its stories town by town through pub interviews. Subscribing to the channel is a game-changer! If you're keen to support the project via Patreon https://www.patreon.com/c/we3smiths, that would be incredible and truly appreciated! I'm also on the lookout for Irish liaisons who can guide me on this journey—reach out if you're interested; it would mean the world! Don't miss my solo podcast, available at the same links as the weekly Smartman Show, where I’ll riff on stories & ideas or dive into creative writing and storytelling.
