  • Epiode 119: Test Drive Turmoil - Navigating a Dealership Circus
    Jun 3 2024

    So, you’re looking to buy a car? Strap in, because you’re about to embark on a ride more twisty than a soap opera plotline. Picture this: you walk into a dealership with a spring in your step, dreams of new-car smell wafting in your mind. But what you get instead is a dance more elaborate than a Broadway show.

    First, there's the “Greet and Redirect,” like Kittenfishing in online dating followed by the “Finance Tango,” where they juggle numbers like circus clowns, making you wonder if PT Barnum is running the show.

    But wait, the show isn’t over! Enter the “Package,” where every question about features leads to a maze of add-ons and upcharges. By the end, you’re left dazed, confused, and clutching a contract that seems longer than Zelda’s boa constrictor.

    Too many car dealerships have a less than stellar reputation. Rona’s car buying disappointment is a tale that echoes the tiring journey people have experienced.

    In this episode, Rona’s shares why she’ll never return to that dealership again. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t just bad business; it was a comedy show for suckers. And Jeffrey breaks down the tactics of the dealership and why it may be so common.

    Rona and Jeffrey believe it’s time for dealerships to adjust to the new world and leave unpleasant habits behind.

    This was Biz-Souls second livestreamed episode.

  • Episode 118: Hamish Wright dishes about the world of Comedy and “The Real Fake Show”
    May 27 2024

    Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, to witness the comedic marvel of the century! Hamish Wright, the man who went from tackling rugby opponents to tickling funny bones, spills the beans on the hilariously chaotic world of comedy in “The Real Fake Show” to our favorite hosts of Biz-Souls, Rona Lewis and Jeffrey Hansler. Wait…they’re Biz-Souls’ only hosts.

    Who would've thought that a journey from the rugby fields of New Zealand to the comedy stage of Hollywood would be anything but a straight shot? But Hamish Wright, the mastermind behind The Real Fake Show, proves that sometimes the best laughs come from the most unexpected places.

    An experienced principal in the art of entertainment, Hamish isn't just a funny guy—he's a comedic maestro with a knack for turning the ordinary into the extraordinary. With a background in film production, television, and marketing, he's like the Willy Wonka of laughter, crafting comedy gold where others see only dullness.

    The Real Fake Show isn't your average comedy gig—it's a wild ride through the absurd and the hilarious. Imagine The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, but on a cosmic dose of caffeine and with guests that may or may not be real. It's improv at its finest, where the only script is the one written on the fly by Hamish and his merry band of comedic misfits.

    So, if you're ready to laugh until your sides ache and your cheeks hurt, tune in to “The Real Fake Show” and witness Hamish Wright and his crew of comedy geniuses weave magic out of thin air. It's not just a show—it's a sidesplitting adventure that will leave you begging for more!

    Wait! What about Biz-Souls, Rona, and Jeffrey? Well, Hamish gave them a podcast and made them promise not to tell until he cried ACTION!

    WARNING: This podcast is rated R by the Motion Picture Academy and R is for Rona and some really raw, raucous, and rough language. So don’t play this for the kids on the way to church. And there’s a rumor that Hamish is the ‘Unknown Comic’ from yesteryears. Don’t know why people would even think that?!

  • Episode 117: Egg Not What Your Podcast Can Do For You.
    May 20 2024

    Biz-Souls, the engaging podcast hosted by Rona Lewis and Jeffrey Hansler, is pushing the boundaries of their usual format by experimenting with live streaming via Restream.io. In their latest venture, they dive into the business of holidays, a subject rife with opportunities for digression. True to form, Rona and Jeffrey weave through a tapestry of topics—some directly related to the holiday business, others delightfully tangential.

    This episode marks a significant technological leap for Biz-Souls. Though it's their first live stream, it exemplifies their commitment to innovation in how they connect with their audience. Despite not being their most polished episode, it showcases their willingness to break new ground and embrace the messiness of live broadcasting. After all, as the saying goes, "You have to break a few eggs to make an omelette"—a sentiment Jeffrey amusingly counters given his well-known aversion to eggs and omelettes.

    Sit back and enjoy this adventurous episode as Biz-Souls' Rona and Jeffrey continue exploring and entertaining with their unique blend of humor, insight, and heart.
