Kicking Butts and Smoking Chickens: ODO 232

It's been a busy couple weeks and you know I've gotta tell you about it. First off, the boys had a taekwondo tournament a few weeks ago. And, despite not coming home with nearly as many medals as some other recent tournaments, we were more proud of them all than probably any other tournament day before strictly becasue of their great attitudes. Then, watch out, a new "man hobby" has entered the field in the form of smoking meats. We have purchased a smoker, and I got to cook up my very first bat...

I'm A Giant Bread Making Nerd: ODO 231

Not much going on this week besides me spending way more time than usual baking bread and watching nerdy TV. In my defense, the baking is my wife's fault. She asked me to make bread. The nerd bit is totally on me. I started watching Star Trek: Picard. In the news, we're going to court for some really stupid reasons.

Plasma Delays, Surprise Drugs, and Revisiting Night Court: ODO 230

Lots of rambling to start off this time. I can't help it. I just have to tell you everything I've been up to since the last time I talked to you. A little bit about how my kidney problem affected my plasma donations. Some garden talk. A bit about grinding up brisket for hamburger. Ya know, my usual ramblings. I've got a couple quick "BS From The News" stories about some surprise cocaine, and about some government people getting sick in Ohio. And finally, I decided to change up my "Recommended Li...

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. https://odddadoutpodcast.com/pain-pain-more-pain-and-some-gardening-too-odo-229/ -Support The Show- Leave Me a Voicemail ‪ (516) 636-7631‬ (ODO-POD1) Join th...

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. -Support The Show- Leave Me a Voicemail ‪ (516) 636-7631‬ (ODO-POD1) Join the Facebook Group Oddballs: Friends of The Odd Dad Out Buy Me A Coffee Visit The ODO Shop Twitter @Odddadout Facebook @Oddadout Instragram @Odddadout Hosted on Acast.

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 i...

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

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?

I Had Trouble In Getting To Solla Sollew: NAPODPOMO Day 27

For Day 27 of NAPODPOMO I am reading a book that holds a very special place in my heart, "I Had Trouble In Getting To Solla Sollew" by Dr. Seuss.

The Oregon Trail: NAPODPOMO Day 25

Sooooo that sinus infection hasn't gotten any better. As such I had to stay home from work today. But on the plus side, my wife and I got to check out the new remake of "The Oregon Trail" that just dropped on the Nintendo Switch. I'll just say it now, they managed to find the perfect balance between nostalgic and modern styles with this game. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ramble Session: NAPODPOMO Day 21

In 21 days of NAPODPOMO I haven't really had any really random rambling days. I end up giving a rundown of my Thanksgiving menu, and spin the death of Power Rangers actor, Jason David Frank, into a secondary ramble about you the fans and my commitment to getting this show back on a regular schedule.

I Can't Believe I've Made It This Far: NAPODPOMO Day 17

It's day 17 of NAPODPOMO and I honestly can't believe I've made it this far. I think this is the longest I've gone without breaking the streak for NAPODPOMO in all the years I've tried.
