I knew Jim Farkas would be a fun guest, but he exceeded expectations. It is a lot to listen to, but do it in chunks and laugh with us. For those who prefer audio, here is the Audio link:

So for real, this Jim Farkas episode of the podcast was so fun. I know it is investing a lot of time. But if you want to learn about Maine C**n Cats, how to survive Dominican resorts, hauling bodies, collecting cars, and or how to prep a funeral home that had a full size sedan drive through the front of it hours before. (Shout out Tim O Thy and Construction by TIMCO Inc). You should really consider watching or listening to the audio, you will 100% be entertained. If you know Jim, share this damn thing.

Welp, it is spooky season ☠️ 🎃 🦇 so what better person to sit down with than the owner of Farkas Funeral Home?

Get in the spirit with a new episode of the podcast.

Me and have been married for 15 years now, and we are celebrating for 2 hours at a rare departure from our normal staple anniversary meal spots. Very happy that we went this way. Great cocktails, great Brussels, entrees are bangers, and the company is a 15 outta 15.

So 24 hours after posting the new episode of Average Joe and Friends Podcast with my guest Mike Fumagalli we have seen a very good response. A lot of views (at least for my little podcast) and a lot of downloads for the audio. I was not just saying that this is the one to listen to, I meant it. I love hearing the feedback so far, so keep it coming, and please subscribe to the channel, I am going to keep putting episodes out each week, so watch and listen along while your doing your day to day lives and driving to and from work and practices, it helps so much to build up the show.

STOP SCROLLING! 🛑. If I can get you to listen to just one episode of Average Joe and Friends Podcast, please let it be this one with Mike Fumagalli.
