This was a tough show for me.  Please join me as I confront my own mortality from Covid 19. Now this part of the show is not that hard... My Money Man nephew joins me to talk about money matters and financial literacy, something a lot of us thing about but don't do a damn thing about.  Great information here!

What the Jeff Johnson Show “IS” and “IS NOT”:

IT IS NOT:

• It’s not a news show, but we learn stuff.
• It’s not a sports show, but Garinger beats Independence all the time and we love the game.
• It’s not an “artsy” show, but local artists/performers are always in the house.
• This is not a food show, but I love livermush!(‘Nuff Said”) So, we'll be talking about food a lot!

IT IS:

• It is a Labour of Love for myself and my Hometown.
• It is a show about you and me and finding out why the Charlotte/Metrolina region is a great place to be!
• It is a show that I get to introduce you folks I grew up with who influenced me in my life. (I got some "Very Unique" friends y'all so this should be interesting!)
• It is a show that I share some of the many talented friends I’ve met along the way.  (I got some "Very Unique" friends y'all so this should be interesting!)
• It is a show that works your emotions. (“...Laughing and Crying, you know it’s the same release..”)

On this show, I have the pleasure of speaking with my friend John Autry, Democratic State representative from District 100 in North Carolina.  

You will get to find out why he is such a great guy and a wonderful leader… thoughtful, forward-thinking, smart as hell and a truly fun-loving person!  My friend!

Join us as we talk about about a "Ton ‘O Stuff" that you will like!

A true Charlotte native son, who is a seasoned veteran of sports journalism in the area.

His Twitter handle describes him as a writer, technology lover, sports nut, husband, father, and sports columnist at the Charlotte observer. And I'm going to, yeah. And one more thing to this description.

He's a man with a dream. He was a young man at the time with a dream of writing about sports and he worked hard and he made it happen. Langston Wertz  Jr.

This is a special show 'cause I use my Mom and my Wife to help me in this one. 

When I was just starting the show, I did a test run with my new equipment and they were nice enough to let me record them... well, they really didn't consent to do it but let's just keep it our little secret... They will know soon enough! LOL!

But on the real, they mean everything to me!  How you enjoy listening to them dealing with my nonsense!

Hunger ain't no joke out there folks.  I just wanted to vent a little about what I know is a huge problem in America... Hunger.

It's up to all of us.  Let's Go!  Here are some links to some great organizations that need your donation of money, time and love!  Check them out!  PLEASE HELP!

This show was so much fun 'cause I got to reconnect with Maria!  She is a true NC treasure as she is a local girl from Gastonia that made good.

She is a true singer-actress, boasting equally strong résumés on both sides of the title. She was a scene-stealer in 1985’s Academy Award-winning The Color Purple, playing a church choir soloist. Since then, she’s appeared on the big screen in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, The Blind Side and What to Expect When You’re Expecting, and on television in NBC’s Revolution, VH1’s Single Ladies and many others.

But to me what defines her is here genuine, authentic self!  Full of love and grace and funny as all get out.  Join us for JJ's brand of foolishness...
