    When Winning Costs You: The California Jock Tax Story

    What’s a “jock tax,” and why can a pro athlete be taxed by multiple states in a single season? In this episode, Peter and Cecil dig into the world of surprise taxes — the little-known fees and tax rules that can quietly hit your wallet. They start with California’s so-called jock tax, using a Super Bowl quarterback example to show how states tax income earned within their borders. From there, the conversation branches into real-life surprises: professional license fees that pop up out of nowhere, federal excise taxes on new trucks, rental and tourist taxes that inflate travel costs, and annual EV registration surcharges that catch new owners off guard. True to form, the hosts keep it informal, curious, and listener-driven — sharing apologies, reading notes from the audience, and inviting you to send in your own surprise-tax stories. It’s a practical, eye-opening look at how taxes show up in everyday life, often where you least expect them. #tdsrpodcast #SurpriseTaxes #JockTax #HiddenFees #EVfees #ExciseTax #PersonalFinance #TaxTalk #MoneyMatters #PodcastLife #FinancialLiteracy Connect with us: 🧢 Merchandise 🌐 Website 📧 Email: tdsrpodcast@gmail.com 📷 Instagram: @tdsrpodcast 💬 Threads: @tdsrpodcast ▶️ That Don't Sound Right on YouTube Now on Substack at That Don't Sound Right Podcast!

    Tannerite Revealed: The Reactive Binary Target and Why Have We Not Talked About This?

    What exactly is Tannerite, and how can something sold legally be both stable and explosive? On this episode of That Don’t Sound Right, hosts Peter and Cecil dig into the science and stories behind Tannerite — the popular binary reactive shooting target that only detonates when struck by high-velocity rounds. They break down how Tannerite works, why it stays inert until properly mixed and hit under the right conditions, and what makes its explosive power so surprising. The conversation also covers real-world safety considerations, state regulations, and those viral videos where things go… well… bigger than planned. Along the way, Peter and Cecil swap personal reactions, laugh about over-the-top gender-reveal explosions and backyard “field tests,” and invite listeners to send in their own Tannerite tales as they gear up for a future hands-on experiment. If you’ve ever wondered about the truth behind explosive targets, internet myths, and what happens when curiosity meets chemistry, this episode delivers the facts with the fun twist you expect from TDSR. Listen, laugh, and maybe learn why some things really don’t sound right. #tdsrpodcast #ThatDontSoundRight #Tannerite #ReactiveTargets #ShootingSports #OutdoorLife #PodcastSEO #SciencePodcast #ExplosiveFacts #ViralVideos #GunSafety #CuriosityPodcast Connect with us: 🧢 Merchandise 🌐 Website 📧 Email: tdsrpodcast@gmail.com 📷 Instagram: @tdsrpodcast 💬 Threads: @tdsrpodcast ▶️ That Don't Sound Right on YouTube Now on Substack at That Don't Sound Right Podcast!

    Using a Hybrid Car as a Home Generator? Inverters, Backfeeding Dangers & Power Outage Prep | That Don’t Sound Right

    That Don’t Sound Right is the podcast that brings back the way conversations used to happen — before the internet decided who was an “expert.” In this episode, hosts Peter and Cecil break down a surprisingly practical question: can a plug-in hybrid vehicle like the Toyota RAV4 Prime be used as a temporary home power source during a power outage? The conversation covers how DC power from a car battery is converted to AC using an inverter, what inverter wattage really means, realistic run-time limits, and which household items you can (and can’t) safely power. Along the way, they share real-world experiences preparing for storms and blackouts while keeping things informative and entertaining. The hosts also issue a serious warning about the dangers of backfeeding your home’s electrical system, and explain safer alternatives like transfer switches, properly installed inverters, and certified whole-house generators. It’s a practical, no-nonsense discussion about emergency power, hybrid vehicles, and electrical safety — delivered the old-school way: through conversation, curiosity, and common sense. #TDSRpodcast #ThatDontSoundRight #Podcast #PowerOutagePrep #EmergencyPower #HybridVehicle #RAV4Prime #CarInverter #HomeGenerator #ElectricalSafety #Backfeeding #TransferSwitch #StormPrep #OffGridLiving #DIYPower #Preparedness Connect with us: 🧢 Merchandise 🌐 Website 📧 Email: tdsrpodcast@gmail.com 📷 Instagram: @tdsrpodcast 💬 Threads: @tdsrpodcast ▶️ That Don't Sound Right on YouTube Now on Substack at That Don't Sound Right Podcast!

    The Stainless Steel Tumbler Craze: Yeti, Stanley & Why This Trend Don’t Sound Right

    Welcome to That Don’t Sound Right a podcast about talking the way we did before the internet—when knowledge lived in the room and expertise came from the people in the conversation, not a search bar. In this episode, hosts Peter and Cecil take a hard (and slightly nostalgic) look at the insulated-tumbler obsession. From Yeti and Hydro Flask to Stanley and the explosion of stainless-steel cups everywhere you turn, they debate whether these trendy tumblers are actually helping the environment—or quietly creating a future landfill problem. The conversation drifts (as it should) into memories of Styrofoam cups, old-school thermoses, Trapper Keepers, and the practical, no-frills stuff we grew up with. Are modern metal tumblers better, or just better marketed? And what happens to all of these cups when the craze fades and the next must-have item takes over? Pull up a chair, pour something into your cup of choice, and listen in. And if at any point you find yourself thinking, “That don’t sound right,” leave a comment and join the conversation. #tdsrpodcast #ThatDontSoundRight #PodcastConversation #OldSchoolThinking #StainlessSteelTumbler #Yeti #HydroFlask #StanleyCup #SustainabilityDebate #EnvironmentalQuestions #EverydayCulture #NostalgiaPodcast Connect with us: 🧢 Merchandise 🌐 Website 📧 Email: tdsrpodcast@gmail.com 📷 Instagram: @tdsrpodcast 💬 Threads: @tdsrpodcast ▶️ That Don't Sound Right on YouTube Now on Substack at That Don't Sound Right Podcast!

    Flames, Cans, and That Don’t Sound Right: PepsiG vs Solo

    That Don’t Sound Right is a conversational podcast where hosts Peter and Cecil proudly skip the fact-checking and lean into the old-school tradition of sharing ideas, opinions, and half-remembered knowledge. No scripts. No experts. Just curiosity and conversation. In this episode, the guys riff on almanacs, quirky backpacking gadgets, and hands-on stove experiments before diving into the main topic: solo-style smokeless stoves. From full-size backyard fire rings to DIY “Pepsi-G” alcohol backpacking stoves, they break down how double-wall designs work, why added airflow burns off smoke, and what they learned by actually building and using these stoves themselves. It’s a mix of practical tinkering, outdoor curiosity, and the kind of discussion that may not be fully researched—but definitely sounds right. #TDSRpodcast #ThatDontSoundRight #Podcast #OutdoorPodcast #Backpacking #CampingGear #SoloStove #DIYStove #SmokelessFire #BackpackingStove #GearTalk #Almanac #NoFactChecking Connect with us: 🧢 Merchandise 🌐 Website 📧 Email: tdsrpodcast@gmail.com 📷 Instagram: @tdsrpodcast 💬 Threads: @tdsrpodcast ▶️ That Don't Sound Right on YouTube Now on Substack at That Don't Sound Right Podcast!

    YouTube Algorithms vs. Farmers’ Almanac Predictions | Creating Content in 2026

    On this episode of That Don’t Sound Right, Peter and Cecil kick off 2026 with curiosity, confusion, and a healthy dose of skepticism. They break down the baffling results of their YouTube Shorts experiments—following all the “expert” advice, posting consistently, and still seeing surprisingly low views. Is it worth chasing the algorithm, or is it better to just enjoy creating content and talking things out? The conversation then takes a sharp (and entertaining) turn into the Farmers’ Almanac, as they flip through predictions on moon-sign planting, fishing calendars, frost dates, and long-range weather forecasts. Peter and Cecil make a plan to track the Almanac’s accuracy throughout the year and see how well these old-school predictions actually hold up. It’s a laid-back, thoughtful start to the new year—about making content, questioning systems that “don’t sound right,” and staying curious no matter what the numbers say. #ThatDontSoundRight #TDSRpodcast #PodcastLife #YouTubeShorts #ContentCreation #AlgorithmTalk #FarmersAlmanac #blumsalmanac #MoonSigns #WeatherPredictions #CuriousConversations #NewYearPodcast #CreativeProcess Connect with us: 🧢 Merchandise 🌐 Website 📧 Email: tdsrpodcast@gmail.com 📷 Instagram: @tdsrpodcast 💬 Threads: @tdsrpodcast ▶️ That Don't Sound Right on YouTube Now on Substack at That Don't Sound Right Podcast!

    Nativity Napkins, Dryer Drums and Listener Theories Equal Mailbag Madness

    Peter and Cecil close out the year with a classic That Don’t Sound Right mailbag episode — and it goes exactly where you’d expect… and nowhere you’d predict. From debating whether a cocktail napkin featuring a nativity scene is usable,  to chasing a mysterious stainless-steel barrel down the highway (spoiler: it’s a dryer drum), the hosts dive headfirst into listener-submitted stories, tips, photos, and theories. Listeners weigh in on everything from peanut-butter-and-pickle sandwiches and hypermiling tricks, to rock cairn trail etiquette, salt mines, AirTags on pets, Francine the Lowe’s cat, and those household rules that are absolutely non-negotiable. It’s a fast-moving, laugh-filled year-end wrap-up that celebrates the community around the show, reflects on the weirdest conversations of the season, and teases what’s coming in Season Six. As always, listeners are invited to keep the conversation going and send in their own “that don’t sound right” moments.   Connect with us: 🧢 Merchandise 🌐 Website 📧 Email: tdsrpodcast@gmail.com 📷 Instagram: @tdsrpodcast 💬 Threads: @tdsrpodcast ▶️ That Don't Sound Right on YouTube Now on Substack at That Don't Sound Right Podcast! #ThatDontSoundRight #TDSRpodcast #PodcastMailbag #ComedyPodcast #FunnyPodcast #ListenerStories #WeirdDebates #EndOfYearPodcast #RoadsideMystery #Hypermiling #PeanutButterAndPickles #OddTraditions #SeasonFinale #PodcastCommunity
