I'm so sorry we missed last week. I went on a business trip and came back with a wicked case of COVID. So if you've had it - I now know what it's like. If you haven't, I hope you don't. It isn't fun. Thankfully, for me, it didn't last long. But everyone has a different experience. At any rate. We are back and happy to record another episode!…

Family came to town. Family left town. I was the family that left town and missed seeing part of my family. I also missed my very good friend Cliff who was here to see his son graduate Air Force Basic Training. All in all it was NOT a good week to be out of town. And that's also the reason why I missed last week's episode and was late with this wee…

We want to wish everyone in America a Happy 4th of July - or as they call it in England, Treason Day. J/K.

We hope you like it and if you didn't, please let us hear about it.…

The make-up episode from last week (Mother's Day). We are so sorry we missed last week but thank you for still listening and downloading the podcast. It was a busy week and a good week.

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 p…

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) an…

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 o…

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…

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…

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 ne…

It IS Super Bowl 58 Sunday. Need I say more? It's a cornucopia, a buffet if you will, of Super Bowl facts and figures as ONLY my dad can deliver!Oleh Chuck & Lou (The 2 Old Farts)

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 thou…
