Two friends in their middle ages discuss topics (mostly dealing with pop culture) through the lens of their lives and relationship. Now in the middle parts of their lives, memory is failing and the past is more apocryphal than accurate. Come along with Two Middle Aged Guys Trying to Work it All Out.

    Digital vs. Physical Part 2

    Dedicated TMAGheads* know Chris and Dave have strong and very different opinions on digital and physical media. We revisit that debate to see if our perspectives have shifted with time. Also, we are joined by a special and very non-middle-aged guest to speak for entire generations of younger folk.  Is Dave a reformed physicalist, now living a life dedicated to collecting Edison wax cylinder recordings?  Has Chris liquidated his beloved Laser Disk collection?  Can a person under 25 stop Tik Toking long enough to appear on a podcast?  These questions and more will be answered in Digital v Physical, part 2.  *we are workshopping TMAGheads as a way of describing our fan(s). Let us know what you think!

    Toys!

    Remember toys? Not the expensive ones they sell today to adult collectors that never get opened and are kept on high selves, far away from the filthy hands of little children. We mean the kind of toys kids play with. Well, Chris and Dave do! Join us as we look back at our favorite toys and the wonderful times spent with them, executing complex bedroom adventures featuring fully articulating real American heroes and anthropomorphized martial-arts-practicing reptiles. Also, we take a look at the toys of today, giving our very middle aged opinion on them. Will we tell them to get off our lawns?

    A Very Middle-Aged Game Show

    What do these things have in common: Science Fiction movies, Retro Video Games, Television Shows and David Bowie? They are things Chris and Dave talk about - a lot. But do they actually know what they are talking about? To find out the answer to that question, they do the only rational thing: create a game show and make themselves the contestants! Join the Two Middle Ages Guys and their good friend and part-time quizmaster Anthony as they test themselves on a very Middle Aged Game Show.

  4. What Have We Learned from The Matrix?

    What Have We Learned from The Matrix?

    Remember the Matrix movies? I guess there were four of them, so you probably took the lazy-persons way out and just called them 'A collection of Matrices themed moving picture shows.' Ya Bum. Well, whatever you did or didn't call these masterpieces, they were a big deal. Cinemas were all-of-a-sudden brim to hilt with like-cyber-minded stories featuring bald kids trying to bend spoons with their mind or selling hard the idea that somewhat dim adults that the rounded, concave utensil didn't exist altogether, and wove complex dialogue like "whoa" and "I know Kung Fu" into the conversations of the times. For a few years at least. So sit back, relax, put on your favorite frameless sunglasses and coordinated stiff leather long coat and take one of each color pill in your house* as Two Middle Aged Guys try to figure out what exactly the Matrix was and or is and if anyone still cares. *Please don't.  Two Middle Aged Guys Trying to Work it All Out encouraged proper use of medications and it not liable for any choice that you make.
