Paul LIVE - So you want to be a Stand Up Comic with Uncle Larry Reeb and Steve Caminiti sit down for a no-filter conversation about life as a working stand-up comic. They talk about how they got started, the realities of the road, handling hecklers, writing jokes, and what still makes them want to get on stage after decades in the business.

The Elections are over- GET OVER IT and Live your LIFE

Veterans Day is coming, and this morning we open with a look at its history—how it started as Armistice Day after World War I and became a day to honor all who have served. Then we break down the election results, with a heavy focus on Hamilton County and Cincinnati. Statewide races are covered, but the real conversation centers on the judges who kept their seats, the city’s crime numbers, recent violence including the Halloween officer attack and Opening Day incidents, and...

Party line or what’s actually best for Cincinnati? On this episode of Paul Live, we dig into the November 3rd election with a heavy focus on Hamilton County and the City of Cincinnati. We look at the judicial races that most directly affect our streets—Common Pleas, Court of Appeals, and the Ohio Supreme Court seats—and ask a hard question: if violence and repeat offenders remain a problem in parts of the city, should we automatically reelect the same judges without looking closer at their records on bond and sentencing?

We break down w...

installers, wind techs, and more), degrees facing more pressure at the entry level, and the non-negotiable foundation of work ethic. Paul also covers how parents can support creative and artistic kids without stifling them—“fund your passion”—and practical steps for parents, teachers, and employers, including earlier exposure through field trips and Future Fairs.

Whether you’re raising a five-year-old or guiding a teenager, this episode focuses on starting earlier, noticing real strengths, and giving kids clearer options than the default high-cost college path.

The Government's Massive UFO/UAP Data Drop: A Deep Dive Into The Truth vs. Fiction

With Special Returning Guest, Robin Haynes, Founder of ParanormalEmpowerment.com

ON BRIDGING THE GAP

Hosted by David Coleman

When people hear about the massive dispersement of data our government is releasing to the public on UAP's (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) and UFO’s (Unidentified Flying Objects) and other paranormal areas and cryptids, people fall into one of three categories: 1]. Tell us the truth already! 2]. This is all made up crap. 3]. If this is ac...

On this episode of Paul Live, we dig into the five problems that keep showing up across surveys, therapy offices, and everyday conversations: money, mental health and stress, physical health and energy, relationships and loneliness, and work, time, and purpose.

We start with Gen Z, where finances and cost of living sit at the top of the list, mental health loads are high, and many are already recalculating the old career ladder. Then we compare how the order shifts for Millennials, Gen X, and Baby Boomers—money and mental health lead early, while health, fa...

Paul LIVE - The Cashless Trap

Card only. No cash. Tap to pay. It is on the coffee counter, the food truck, the ballpark, and the parking gate. Cash is the money this country prints, and more doors will not take it.

On this episode of Bootleggers Music Group Radio I look at what that sign actually does. Legal tender settles a debt. A private business can often refuse cash anyway, unless the city has banned it. Legal is not the same as harmless.

The national pile...

Paul LIVE - The Moon and the Paper Towel: Student Loans, Rent, and the Cost of Living

Headlines said President Trump was banning federal loans for certain degrees. This hour walks through what actually changed: graduate borrowing caps, the end of Grad PLUS, Parent PLUS limits, and a new earnings test that can eventually cut off federal loans for programs whose graduates do not get ahead. Nursing, teaching, social work, the arts, and counseling are in the argument—not because those jobs do not matter, but because the payments often look like a second rent.

We Have Always Hated the Price of Gas

Description

I am 62 years old and I cannot remember a time when Americans were not complaining about the price of gas. Not one decade. Not one president. Not one summer.

On this episode of Bootleggers Music Group Radio we stop yelling at the pump long enough to do the math. We put gas prices from 1964 through 2026 into today’s dollars. We add the piece most price-rage talks skip: miles per gallon. Thirty-cent gas in a 13-mpg car is not the same as a...

Paul LIVE - When the Creators Die

a special about the last original members of 1960s and 1970s classic rock — and what happens when they leave the stage.In 2026 you can still see pieces of the real thing: Jagger and Richards, Henley, May and Taylor, Angus Young, the last founders still willing to walk under the lights. This episode maps the late 2030s and mid-2040s — the window when those tours end, the trademarks stay, and “the band” is no longer anyone who was in the room when the records were made.

Paul LIVE - The Top Annoying Things on the Planet

The Top Annoying Things on the Planet — A commentary about the stuff that actually gets under your skin.

We count down the biggest everyday irritations from 5 to 1 in every category: what polls say Americans hate most, the rudest things you can do in public, customer service, the workplace, family gatherings, meeting a stranger, bars (patrons and bartenders), car dealership sales and service, quiet music-and-dinner venues, what bands and solo artists hate from the stage, and life in a large apartment complex.

Paul LIVE - What Makes a Great Teacher

Title: What Makes a Great TeacherMy youngest daughter Olivia starts her first day as a fourth-grade teacher tomorrow. That milestone made me stop and ask a question I’ve carried for years as someone raised around teachers in both public and private (including Catholic) schools:What actually makes a great teacher?

In this episode we dig deeper than lesson plans and test scores. Teachers often spend more waking hours with children than their own parents do. For the millions of kids gr...

Paul LIVE - What should we really be leaving our children?

Title: What Should We Really Be Leaving Our Children?

What are we truly passing on to the next generation?

In a culture that measures success by money, houses, and material inheritance, this episode asks a harder question: Are we leaving our children resources… or resourcefulness?

Too often, large inheritances are burned through in a few short years by young adults who never learned what it takes to struggle, bu...

Paul LIVE - How much of ourselves should we give to our jobs?

In this episode we take an honest look at workplace loyalty — the long hours, missed family time, and extra effort so many employees pour into their employers and coworkers. We examine what happens when that loyalty isn’t returned: the silence from companies when an employee becomes seriously ill, and the way “we’re a team” relationships often fade when someone actually needs help.

Drawing on a real story of a young man who drove himself into the h...

Change Minds or Provide Information

Description:

Is it actually possible to change another person’s mind?

In this episode I share a conversation with my friend Dan that got me thinking: you can’t force someone to change their opinion. A person’s views are based on the information they currently have. The only real option is to calmly offer solid, factual information and give them the chance to form a new opinion themselves. We look at why so many p...

In this thoughtful episode, we explore the shock, the cultural shifts, and the deeper questions that would follow confirmed extraterrestrial life. Would the different faiths collapse into one universal belief in a single higher power? Or would Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and others adapt, stretch, and remain di...

In this special episode, “JESUS, The KING of Comedy, Wit and Sarcasm,” we explore the funniest, cleverest, and most biting lines from the Gospels. From the plank in the eye, the camel through the needle’s eye, and straining out a gnat but swallowing a camel, to calling a corrupt ruler “that fox,” Jesus used humor to expose hypocrisy, teach truth, and disarm his lis...

We used to talk to each other. In airport lounges, office hallways, and coffee shops — spontaneous conversations led to new ideas, mentorships, friendships, and even major business deals.

Paul LIVE - Making America Polite Again

Should taxpayers continue funding public assistance for parents whose children repeatedly commit crimes against the public? In this episode, we examine juvenile crime in Greater Cincinnati — including incidents around Opening Day — and the troubling pattern of repeat offenders from households receiving SNAP, Medicaid, and other benefits. We compare Hamilton County (urban core) with surrounding suburban counties like Clermont to show the real disparities and costs.We propose a straightforward accountability solution: When a minor commits two or more offenses against people or property, parents face a 25% reduction in b...

Paul LIVE - Profiling vs. Judging: When Is It Smart, When Is It Wrong?

Profiling or judging? Where do we draw the line?We all profile every day — crossing the street to avoid danger, choosing schools or neighborhoods, assessing risk in real time. That’s pattern recognition, and it’s how humans stay safe. But when does profiling turn into unfair judgment based on group identity rather than individual actions?

In this episode, we explore the crucial difference between smart, evidence-based profiling and lazy, moralistic judging. We also examine the glaring double standa...

Paul LIVE - The Tipping Epidemic: When Did 20% Become the Minimum and 30% the Expectation?

The tipping epidemic is out of control. What used to be a thank-you for great service has become an automatic 20–30% expectation — even at coffee shops, food trucks, self-checkout kiosks, and art fairs. Servers are posting viral rants: “If you can’t afford to tip, don’t go out to eat.” Others demand 30% for bare-minimum work. Meanwhile, customers are exhausted by guilt-tripping tip screens and the constant pressure to tip no matter the level of service.In this episode, we explore how tipping...

Paul LIVE - The End of Trust: Why Americans No Longer Believe Their Institutions

Why do so many Americans no longer trust their government, media, universities, Big Tech, or even the medical system? Confidence in major institutions has collapsed to historic lows — and the consequences are reaching far beyond politics.

In this episode, we explore the real reasons behind the breakdown: repeated failures, perceived double standards, lack of accountability, and the information revolution that exposed cracks once hidden. We also examine a deeper, more personal cost — how institutional distrust is now spilling into our families and...
