    Pain, Pain, More Pain, and Some Gardening Too: ODO 229

    Pain, Pain, More Pain, and Some Gardening Too: ODO 229

    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.

    A Tale of Gardening and Ground Meats: ODO 228

    A Tale of Gardening and Ground Meats: ODO 228

    I know I've been doing all of the other things lately, but this week I'm back to just rambling about my garden, making my own sausages, and the wonders of growing and making your own fresh food.

    Christmas Cooking and Snappy Spending: ODO 227

    Christmas Cooking and Snappy Spending: ODO 227

    Hope you’re having a pleasant holiday season. It’s been crazy busy around here as usual. We had a well executed, albeit tiring, Christmas, even if I did have a slight miscalculation in cooking Christmas dinner.
    We’ve been watching some new stuff over the holidays. And the US government is not about to let the French or the EU upstage them in bullshit jackass spending.
    -What I’ve Been Watching-
    The Invitation (Netflix)A modern retelling of a classic monster tale that is very easy to figure out if you’re paying attention.The Mortal Instruments: City Of BonesA film adaptation of the Cassandra Claire YA book series, it was meant to start a movie franchise but failed at the box office. (Per my wife: the movie follows the story of the first book fairly accurately, but the casting is not very accurate.)Shadowhunters (series)With the failure of the Mortal Instruments film, it was relaunched as a series on the Freeform network. (Again per my wife: the casting is much closer to the book descriptions, but the show very quickly deviates from the books.)
    -BS From The News-


    US Government pays $118,000 to study if Thanos could actually snap his fingers
    A team at Georgia Tech was given a $118,000 grant to study snapping. They were especially curious to learn if Thanos would have been able to snap his fingers while wearing the Infinity Gauntlet. Spoilers, it only works because it’s a movie.

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

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

    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

    Stupid Is As Stupid Does: ODO 225

    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?

This podcast is one of my favorites! I can relate to so much of the content! And I personally just love a good laugh.

Some Kind of Brown Podcast ,

Oddly chill and entertaining!

Listening to the Odd Dad Out episodes is like hanging out with a good friend; kids being crazy, life being crazy, news being crazier. Adam is like the Northerlion of podcasts and I love listening to the episodes when I'm working on something!
