The 2 Old Farts had a good week. Stay tuned to listen all about it. From the San Antonio Brahma's game last weekend, to the Blackberry Smoke concert Friday night - we had a great time together.

4/21/2024
It's our 13th episode of the year and we couldn't be happier or more please with our progress. We owe our progress to you - the fans - or even accidental downloaders. Either way, we will keep it. Thank you. Today's episode was a lot of fun for us to do. We had a tremendous amount of fun at the San Antonio Brahma's UFL football game last night. Vamos Brahma's! Great crowd. Great enthusiasm and great play! We will definitely be back. We are going to more and more concerts. That's always fun. So sit back, and enjoy our random musings. Thank you!

S3 E12: "Technology will be the death of The 2 Old Farts"

4/15/2024
Technology will be the death of us, I swear it will. Last week we had a terrible echo on the audio from my dad. It didn't have the echo when he spoke, only in the recording. Now this week, we had no audio issues, unable to do anything on the dashboard of my recording site, to another echo from my dad. It was on and on. HOPEFULLY (and HOPE isn't a plan) - it will all work out this episode. So stay tuned in, we hope you do.

S3 E11: "Sharing funny moments in Basic Training"

4/8/2024
We tried to get my Aunt Carolyn on the phone - but I don't seem to have the proper audio cable for my mixer to get her to be able to hear our audio. For sure, it seems like technology is always getting the better of The 2 Od Farts. Fear not! We will find a way. In the meantime, sit back, grab something cold to drink (because it's getting warmer) and enjoy our ramblings. Our ramblings of funny stories from Basic Training. PS Sorry about the echo from my dad.

S3 E10: "Getting Old: When Everything Hurts and Falls Apart"

4/2/2024
We hope you all had a fantastic Easter (Holy) week. It's a wonderful time of the year. And super important to Christians. If you don't believe, that's cool, we love you anyway - and thanks for listening, downloading and following! Please hit LIKE and FOLLOW and SUBSCRIBE Well, getting old sucks. That's for sure. As I said in the episode, when you're younger, life is all about Addition. When you get older, it's all about subtraction. And by GOD we are definitely losing it all. Our hair, our memory, or strength, our figure, our health, you name it. So if you are on the backside of 40, this is probably the podcast for you. Thank you for coming back. If you like us - please follow and subscribe. But more importantly, spread the word! Thanks!

3/17/2024
I almost forgot today was Saint Patrick's Day today. So guess what my dad and I talked about today? You guessed it, St. Patrick's Day! As usual my dad has a little history lesson. We also delve into our family history/DNA. Yes, we are actually Irish. And a few other places too. Good old fashioned, 100% pure bred mutt! We hope you like it and keep on coming back.

S3 E7 "Who hates daylight savings time?"

3/10/2024
Who doesn't hate daylight savings time? I know I do and so does the better looking of the 2 Old Farts. Frankly we hate it and think it should be abolished? What say you? In today's episode we talk history, Viet Nam, warfare today, failure to learn from history, whiskey, bourbon, single malt whiskey and other various sundry topics. We hope you enjoy!

S3 E6: "Be kind plus You never know who you might meet"

3/3/2024
Apologies for missing last week's episode. My father was a bit sick and I was coming off being sick. These things are harder to shake the older you get. We had a lot to discuss since we didn't record an episode last week. Plus I have been to a lot of concerts these past few weeks with still more to come. Last night at the Pat Green concert, my wife meet the owner of Epic Western, an awesome cocktail in a can company. You should DEFINITELY give them a taste/try. Delicious! Everything else, you will learn when you download and listen to this week's episode of The 2 Old Farts! Enjoy.

S3 E5 "Recording a Podcast when you have nothing to say"

2/19/2024
Some days you have something to talk about, some days you don't. Today seemed like one of those days. But (in our opinion) it went better than expected and a lot easier than expected. What are your thoughts? Did we do ok? This podcast is still kind of searching for it's identity and direction. More than just the father/son aspect of it. Maybe we need to go deeper into the relationship. What do you think?

S3 E3 "When Parents Say 'We'll See' - We know what that really means"

2/4/2024
Growing up - do you ever remember you're parent's telling you "we'll see" after you asked them for something or to do something" I bet you that when they said it - it meant - NO. Am I wrong? Good day to everyone. Happy Week Before Superbowl Week! We also have some great news: We are now live-streaming our episodes, as we record them, on Twitch.tv. That's an awesome opportunity to grow our audience and reach a different set of listeners. Not much to discuss this week other than it's Super Bowl Week. My beloved 49ers against the KC Chiefs! Stay tuned and listen in as my dad and I talk, just a little bit, about my 2 pee-wee football teams that I played for. We hope you like us, follow us and come back each week.

S3 E2 "Cutting the line, cold butts and bourbon"

1/28/2024
Well, the weather outside was more than frightful - it was downright cold the week before last. So listen up 2 Old Farts fans - because you will hear all about the shenanigans that happened last weekend at the Country and Western show! We met a lot of great people on the porch at Floores Country Store. It was cold but we had heaters and bourbon to keep us warm. All except for my mom's butt. But - get it - you will have to listen to it all to hear all about it. Again, we apologize for not being consistent with our podcast and we will endeavor to get better. Please be patient and please stick with us.

S2 E27 ”Sunday musings”

12/17/2023
We are back. We apologize for being gone for the last couple of weeks. Work just gets to be an all consuming thing sometimes - and for that, I apologize. We didn't really have a topic either. So, with no topic, that leads to a crappy title of a podcast. The only thing or word that came to mind was "musings" - which is a period of reflection or thought. And that is exactly what this episode is. Thank you for listening and downloading. We really appreciate our fans and listeners. See you next week!
