S2 E25 ”Thanksgiving is pretty Happy w 4 bourbon & coke’s”

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! My father and I are thankful for our family and for our fans who faithfully listen to us. All 10 of you LOL! Thank you!
We will try to record another episode this weekend and fill you all in on our exploits frpm our trip to Tuscaloosa last weekend.  It was a trip for the ages!  There were a few downs but they were so inconsequential to the awesomeness of Alabama football and it's wonderful fans!  Everywhere we went we felt like we were with family.
We hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and please be safe out there!  Always remember to be thankful.  If you try really hard you can find something to be thankful for.  And if you can't - just remember The 2 Old Farts are thankful for YOU!

S2 E24 ”Alabama and the state of College football”

Good afternoon, good morning, good evening, and thank you for listening to The 2 Old Farts.  We just hit 3,000 + downloads.  Thank you - thank you - thank you. We are so happy and thankful for you faithful few who continue to listen to us ramble on.
Today we had a plan. HAD being the operative word.  And we went so deep into Alabama football and what is going on with college football that it completely took over the conversation. And we think it was a great one.  We even talked/debated the NIL.
We hope you like it.  Please like, subscribe and share!

Here is a little #Teaser from episode 23. This clip talks about my father's time spent as an #AirForce #Skymarshall when we lived in #Queens #NYC

S2 E23 ”We’re Just Happy To Be Here”

Good morning, afternoon and evening - depending on where you are in the world. We are back after a short 2 week break- and for that, we apologize. I don't know what or why we didn't record except to say - we are sorry. But we are back and happy to be back. Sorry we didn't have an agenda, let alone anything creative to call this episode. But we are very thankful and grateful for each and everyone one of you who downloaded our little podcast over the last month. As I mentioned at the end, we had downloads from: USA, Canada, UK, Switzerland, Zimbabwe, Sweden, and Viet Nam. That's very impressive. Thank you. Keep listening and please, spread the word. It was a great victory for the Alabama Crimson Tide vs the Tigers of LSU last night. The team looked very complete. We are looking forward to our trip in just under 2 weeks. Thank you again - please keep listening and we will keep recording!

S2 E21 ”58th Wedding Anniversary” Teaser Clip

A few weeks ago, it was my parent's 58th Wedding anniversary.  I didn't forget to wish them a very Happy Anniversary, but I forgot to make this clip (and post it).
 
So - Happy Anniversary to my parents and congratulations for making it to # 58!

S2 E22 ”The burden of submitting a VA claim” CLIP

A clip from Episode 22 "You Gotta Fight, for your Right(s)!

S2 E22 ”Sometimes, you gotta fight, for your right(s)!”

Hello friends and family. Good afternoon, morning, evening, or whatever time it is when you are listening to this. I was having a difficult time in trying to come up with a title for this week's episode. Suffice it to say, at last nights concert, I strolled by a mural of The Beastie Boys - so there you have it.
I was at The Paper Tiger to see Helmet! A late 80's/90's hard rock/grunge era band that is still kicking ass and taking names. Great show! But back to the title of the episode. Obviously if you listen you will get the gist of what I am musing about with the title - fighting for my VA rights in particular.
And you have to fight for your rights - whatever they are - in whatever circumstance. If it's important to you, you should fight for yourself, your family, health, whatever. It is important. Like I said in the episode - nobody loves you more than you and your family, so take care of yourself and fight!
Again - thank you for our loyal listeners. For that, we are eternally grateful. It means a lot to me and the other old fart that you take these few minutes to listen to us and our musings. We try to entertain - and sometimes we do and I am sure sometimes we don't. So thank you again for listening - especially to our Ontario, Canada fan!

S2 E21 ”Peaceful, Easy, Sunday”

Hello to all of our fans, friends and family. We are thankful for each and every one of you. It's just another peaceful, easy, Sunday today. And we were able to get another episode in the books. Not much has changed or happened since we last talked.
Ok - I take that back. I went to Hawaii for work. It was a nice trip with coworkers who are also friends. It was also nice to be able to visit the USS Arizona memorial and pay our respects. If you make it to Hawaii - that is an absolute bucket-list must see!
Again, we are so happy and thankful for you all. And to our Ontario, Canada listener, thank you. That is so awesome. But among this thankfulness comes a hint of sadness. The sadness in knowing that our beloved College Football is coming to an end. The season is half over.
Alabama is looking strong. Georgia does too, however, their schedule is mightly weak! Colorado - I see you! Coach Prime is doing an awesome job! Notre Dame, I see you too. Overrated as usual.
Well, I need to get this episode "in the can" and published on the socials because I have another concert to attend tonight - The Dropkick Murphys! See ya! The 2 Old Farts

S2 E20 ”It’s all about teamwork”

What is the message this week? This episode didn't really have a theme. We didn't do anything that we could build an episode around. But like most things between us, it comes back to sports. And through sports, you go through highs and lows. Trials and tribulations. Success and failure. But through it all, if you believe in yourself and your teammates, you can succeed. I guess that's the biggest takeaway from this episode. And family. Family has been important to me and my success. Success. I think our little podcast is successful. We do have listeners downloading our episodes. It isn't a lot but we are grateful and thankful. Especially to our international audience We are so proud of that! Thank you.

S2 E19 ”My grandkids came to town!”

Good afternoon everyone!  Thank you for listening and continuing to listen. We hope you like, subscribe and share this whith your frineds and family.  This is definitely a labor of love for my dad and me.
Sorry about not recording an episode last week. I know we are trying harder to be more consistent.  Unfortunately I was just a bit busy and tired.  My dad and I suffered through a horrendous home loss for the Crimson Tide. Congratulations to Texas! Hats off to them.  They just out hustled us, our coached us and just plain beat us.  
I always love it (my dad does too) when the grandkids come and get to participate in our shananigans.  It really makes it fun. We hope you like it.
Thank you all for listening.  Thank you to our international audience.  I am always amazed at where our listeners are coming from. Canada. Austrailia. Indonesia.  Guatamala. For our Canadian listener(s) in Ontario, thank you.  For Australia, we had a download from Victoria - that's a 1st for us.  Even Indonesia was a 1st!  Wow. We are so blessed and blown away.  Thank you.
 
Keep listening. Keep liking.  Keep subscribing!Chuck & Lou
