Kicking Butts and Smoking Chickens: ODO 232

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

It’s been a busy couple weeks and you know I’ve gotta tell you about it. First off, the boys had a taekwondo tournament a few weeks ago. And, despite not coming home with nearly as many medals as some other recent tournaments, we were more proud of them all than probably any other tournament day before strictly becasue of their great attitudes.

Then, watch out, a new “man hobby” has entered the field in the form of smoking meats. We have purchased a smoker, and I got to cook up my very first batch of smoked chicken this last weekend. A lot of lessons were learned, but the food was nevertheless amazing.

I’m A Giant Bread Making Nerd: ODO 231

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Not much going on this week besides me spending way more time than usual baking bread and watching nerdy TV. In my defense, the baking is my wife’s fault. She asked me to make bread. The nerd bit is totally on me. I started watching Star Trek: Picard. In the news, we’re going to court for some really stupid reasons.

Plasma Delays, Surprise Drugs, and Revisiting “Night Court” : ODO 230

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Lots of rambling to start off this time. I can’t help it. I just have to tell you everything I’ve been up to since the last time I talked to you. A little bit about how my kidney problem affected my plasma donations. Some garden talk. A bit about grinding up brisket for hamburger. Ya know, my usual ramblings.

I’ve got a couple quick “BS From The News” stories about some surprise cocaine, and about some government people getting sick in Ohio.

And finally, I decided to change up my “Recommended Listening” segment and turn it more into a “what I’ve been watching” segment, starting with my recent rewatching of the classic sitcom, “Night Court.”

It’s been a while so this one is EXTRA LONG! I recently got my spring garden planted. This is my most intentional and, from an output perspective, ambitious planting yet. I got sidelined hard by a couple of kidney stones. And last but definitely not least, I address the two major family losses that have kept me away and the toll it’s taken.

Busy Days, Bad Coke, and Black Adam: ODO 226

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

I’m all over the place this week. But what’s new about that? I’m finally doing our garage renovations. I’m scrambling to make french toast. I’m Live taste testing a Dreamworld Coca Cola. And I’m reviewing “Black Adam.” Of course there’s also a very packed “Bullshit From The News,” with more groans than you can shake an overpriced government program at…

Stupid Is As Stupid Does: ODO 225

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

After surviving NAPODPOMO, I’m trying to get back into the swing of doing more of the regular segments. In the news I have a battle for who can be the biggest dumbass. Between stupid criminals, stupid lawsuits, and stupid scientists, I think you may have to decide, just who is the “Jackass of the Week.” Of course, I have my regular ramblings, but I don’t have to tell you that, now do I?

I Had Trouble In Getting To Solla Sollew: NAPODPOMO Day 27

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

For Day 27 of NAPODPOMO I am reading a book that holds a very special place in my heart, “I Had Trouble In Getting To Solla Sollew” by Dr. Seuss.

I actually have a quote from this book tattooed on my side inspired by a major trauma that I experienced many years ago. (For more check out the episode: The Incident.)
