Boxcars711 Old Time Radio Pod - The Family Doctor "Episodes 3 and 4" (1932)

Growing up in a house filled with all girls meant growing up with fashion, to say it’s in my blood would be an understatement. At a young age when other boys were out playing sports I was shoe shopping. Now if you’ve ever gone shoe shopping with ONE woman you know it can be tough. Imagine shopping with three. How my mother didn’t get arrested for child abuse was beyond me. Why was I forced to go? Who do you think had to cary all the bags.

I’m extremely grateful for the experience though. to me being dressing well and being comfortable in what i’m wearing is the second part of my game. Because of my childhood now shopping with a girlfriend isn’t death sentence. I love the look on their faces when I tell them that their bag shoe combination wont work, or those jeans she’s thinking about getting actually makes her ass look fat (oh, yes I did). I also have a thing for buying clothes for girls I’m seeing if I’m at the mall and something catches my eye that I think they’ll look good in. Nine times out of ten I’m usually right on the money.

My sisters and I have developed the same attitude when it comes to our own style. We can’t stand to dress the same as the people around us on any occasion. Individualism is our calling card. I remember my youngest sister, who’s now in college on a fashion scholarship had to wear a pink Stella McCartney number to her homecoming and a yellow Jessica McClintock one to her prom.

Watching my sisters plan for these two events was similar to terrorist planning a bombing. Their attention to every detail was only matched by a code red level of secrecy. They were worried as my youngest sister put it of, “some skank bitch wearing the same dress”.

My favorite is my other sister. From a guys point of view I love her own sense of fashion, she’ll put an outfit together and I’ll hang with her and be like “damn girl” where did you get that. I’d describe it as a mix of elegance and confidence. She can go from high end to thrift store in a heartbeat and sometimes in the same outfit combination. She can usually find the best price for whatever she has on… USUALLY.

A couple of weekends ago she turned 24. In preparation for this event she wanted to get a new, ”little black dress”. No big deal right? Well she wanted to rock a black sequin, 3/4 sleeves, mini dress by Tory Burch that she saw a couple of months ago and fell in love with. Now on the website it was going for $800. My sister thought (at the time) that was silly to pay that much for a dress. So being the savvy shopper she is she went on ebay to see if she could find the same dress. As luck would have it she found that exact dress.

She put a $200 bid on it. Apparently this is a sweet dress because another girl put in a bid for it. My sister came back with 350. Some how it turned into a bid war for this dress. Neither girl would back down 400, 450, 500, 575, 650. My sister ended up getting the dress for $750!!! Like I said she was turning 24, that’s it! Not 21 not 30 fucking 24. I love her to death but am now convinced she has mental problems. I asked her what the fuck was she thinking, she basically saved $50? Her explanation, “I’d look hotter in it than she would”. I guess a girls got to do what a girls got to do.

So what does a $750 dress look like on her….. A fucking million bucks… get it girl, Happy Birthday!

I can’t believe this guys is actually banging Rachel Woods, as if he hasn’t had a history of getting with hot chicks but then he goes and writes a song inspired by her.

Episode3 "Error In Diagnosis" and Episode4 "Enjoyment"

The Family Doctor  (Dramatic Serial-1932) was a story about Dr. Grant Adams,  a small town doctor  who doubled as the communityâs moral rectifier. He was more than just respected, he was loved by all. Each week he confronted issues from robbery to suicide, and always with common sense and gentle moral judgment. Though his old-fashioned remedies for sicknesses are outdated compared to modern medical practicing, The Family Doctor's attitude towards life's daily issues transcend time. Of the 39 intended episodes, only 12 were aired.
