Finish My Story

If I Spoke About it: A Mother's Day/Oscars special!

WOW!!  We're back! And so is Caroline O'Brien this week.  It's Valentine's Day, can you believe it??  So we're telling a Valentine's Day story!!  What's our first line gonna be from?  We did Love Actually for Valentine's Day last year, so is it When Harry Met Sally?  Romeo + Juliet?? TWILIGHT???  Nope!  It's Jean-Claude Van Damme's first film, Bloodsport (listen to find out why).  So we start with the first line of the muscles from Brussels premier film, and weave a tale of love, roommates, human sushi plates, and bad listeners.  Don't you be a bad listener, and listen to it!!   And follow us on social: @finishmystorypodcast one facebook/instagram @finishstorycast on twitter

Jackson, Are You Going... A Valentine's Day SPECIAL

WOW!  It's another story day!!  So it's time for your favorite ear voices to come back and tell you a story.  But wait, this time, Jon and Peter are without Cameron, so the lovely and talented (and AUSTRALIAN) Caroline O'Brien (@Carolineactor) comes in to fill her shoes, and she does so quite nicely.  We start with the first line of Caroline's favorite book: The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, and tell a story of nutrition bars, potentially talking animals, and lots of gym workouts.  Oh, and don't worry, there are plenty of Aussie jokes thrown in there for good measure.  

The Boy's Name Was: Santiago's Personal Growth

The FMS crew is back!! With a brand new episode for your earholes.  This week, in honor of (recently passed) Thanksgiving; Cameron, Jon and Peter tell a story starting with the first line of a classic Thanksgiving movie.  Ok we couldn't do that, so we did Pocahontas, which is somewhat Thanksgiving themed. OK, we couldn't do THAT, so we did the next best thing: Avatar!  That's right folks, this week we started with the highest grossing film of all time, and told a story about time traveling, fake veteran's hospitals, and of course, raspberry cronuts.  You won't want to not listen and disappoint all of your friends!

When I Was Lying There - V.A.'s Strange Trip to the VA

The story crew is back! After a brief hiatus Cameron, Jon and Peter are here shoving another completely improvised story down your throat.  This time we start with the first line (althought that is debated hotly in the opening) of the classic Hamlet allegory: The Lion King, and weave a tale of ghosts, pocket watches, barcaloungers, and angry grandpas.  It's a quick, easily digestable story, and a great way to start your day!

Life Isn't Fair is it... Johnny's Ghostly Cabin

It's a new week and a new us!  Not really, we're still the same.  But this week Cameron, Jon and Peter start off with the very first line ever spoken on the 15 season show Grey's Anatomy, and tell a story about Jai Alai, deadly underground tournaments, lost loves, and Tom Hanks movies from the early 2000's.  If you can only listen to one podcast right now, make it this one.   And follow us on da social medias:   Instagram: @finishmystorypodcast Facebook.com/finishmystorypodcast Twitter: @finishStoryCast

The Game...: Jimmy's Deadly and Romantic Jai Alai Tournament

The Avengers is all anyone can talk about.  It's all you can think about right now, ever since you read the word Avengers a second ago.  And it hasn't gotten past the story crew either.  So this week Cameron, Peter and Jon get together and try to tell a superhero story, starting with the first line from Iron Man.  Yeah, it's a weird one, and doesn't really follow any of the superhero story conventions, but hey, there are powers and a bad guy, and what else do you need right?   Follow us on social media: Instagram: @finishmystorypodcast Facebook.com/finishmystorypodcast Twitter: @finishstorycast

What's Up Wit 'Chu: Dwayne and Nikolai's Strange Chemistry

It's Valentine's Day!  So it's the perfect time to tell a Romantic Comedy story.  And that's what Peter, Les, and Jon do this week.  They start with the opening line from Love, Actually and tell a story that involves a meet-cute, someone bitter about love, and the worst accents the team can muster (intentionally?).  This is a gut-buster folks; so grab some chocolates, grab some flowers, grab the one you love, and get ready to laugh your ass off.

Whenever I Get Gloomy: A Valentine's Day Story

This week, the Story Boiz start with a prestigious line from The Prestige, and tell a tale about a Card-counting magician, Las Vegas, a crazy casino heist, and a little bit of romance.  It's one of most complex stories to date, and if you like Christopher Nolan, well, it has nothing to do with him, but you'll probably like this anyway.   Follow us on social media:   Insta: @finishmystorypodcast Facebook.com/finishmystorypodcast Twitter: @finishstorycast

Are You Watching Closely: Jamie's Card Counting Magical Heist

We're Back!  After a brief hiatus Jon, Peter and Les return with an all new star-studded episode starting with a classic line from literature: "There was no possibility of taking a walk that day" the opening line of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. That's right, it was Charlotte if you forgot which Brontë.  But the story that ends up being told is one that brings in another one of history's greatest pieces of art/fiction: The King of Queens.  A lot of stars show up too!  You don't wanna miss it.  

No Possibility of Taking A Walk: The Dehydrated King of Queens

It's a New Year!  It's a New You!  It's a New Episode!!  And because it's a new beginning of the year for us all, of course we start with perhaps the most famous opening line: "In the Beginning".  But if you think this story is biblical, you're dead wrong.  This story is all about the Queen.  The One and Only.  The incomparable Beyonce Knowles, and how her love and awesomeness brings all people together in sisterhood (ok, and maybe there's a giant brawl too).  So pour a glass of Lemonade, sit back and Listen, because this episode is Irreplaceable.   Find us on social Media: Instagram: @finishmystorypodcast facebook.com/finishmystorypodcast Twitter: @finishstorycast
