The Boom Real Estate PodcastEpisode 256 (Season 8, Episode 9) - Create Supplemental IncomeEpisode 256 (Season 8, Episode 9) Create Supplemental Income I think we can all agree on two things: 1) red M&M’s are the best and 2) things have been tough with real estate lately. We all love it when everyone is selling their homes, but how do we handle those moments when things are slow? We preach to “double down” on your real estate efforts, but if you must, looking for another source of income may be the preferred solution. Let’s explore some options and dive deep into the Wright Brothers. We’ll also listen...

TapeHeads: 80's Music and Beyond08: The Police, "Don't Stand So Close To Me" | Ferris Bueller's Day OffThis episode finds us discussing a controversial song by The Police, so much so that they actually recorded two different versions of it, the original in 1980 which creeped everybody out, and the 1986 version which not only broke up the band (essentially), but also incorporated our favorite instrument, the Fairlight.
We also discuss one of the most famous 80's movies of them all, Ferris Bueller's Day Off. We spend a good amount of time on the soundtrack, and on Ferris's synthesizer, which was an E-mu Emulator II (like Trevor Rabin of Yes used to have) and NOT a F...
