It's Valentine's Day! For some it's a time to get romantic and maybe shower your significant other with gifts. For me, it's kinda complicated. First off I have no clue what to get my wife. All of the standard gifts either wont work or are too expensive. That and I'm just too financially practical to justify spending the money for a lot of things. Then I get into my kids' outright refusal to clean their bedrooms, even to the point of doing other chores that they aren't responsible for, just so th...

Continuing the saga of my back yard, this week I finally got a landscaper hired. I also give a little insight into why the show has been so inconsistent for the last few weeks. And I swear it’s not an ad, but I talk about finally getting sucked into playing “Best Fiends.” Finally, in the return of Recommended Listening, I’m talking music, fitness, and philosophy in this week’s feature: “Strength, Love Metal.” -Recommended Listening- Strength, Love, Metal https://linktr.ee/StrengthLoveMetal "Reti...

This week, I decided to flex my daddy DIY skills and install a few ceiling fans in the house. Unfortunately I've never actually done it before, and my arms are sore AF. Ironically, while I'm being so productive in one way, I'm also being lazy because we just bought a robot vacuum. Updates: I’ve decided to keep the podcast at it’s current home of odddadoutpodcast.com. That’s mostly because I’m pretty sure changing it will break every link I’ve shared for the show in the last 2 years. Odddadout.co...

*Sorry about the delay folks. Moving is a pain This week I have my conversation with Paul Przytula from "the Countdown Movie and TV Reviews) podcast. This was originally recorded as part of NAPODPOMO, but I just got too busy to put it together. I'm not gonna lie, I do way too much of the talking in this episode. This is a prime example of why I should have talking points for guests, if only to shut myself up. I need to get Paul back on sometime so I can do less of the talking. Either way, enjoy!...

So it’s day 25 of NAPODPOMO and I am at episode 21. In so many words, I don’t think I’m making it to 30 this year. This whole adventure of NAPODPOMO is a beast to pull off. In the past I’ve been able to just knock out episodes quickly on a whim. But this year I got the idea in my head to do a bunch of interviews. And then the opportunity came up to buy a house. And I was stupid and didn’t edit any of the interviews as I went, so I’ve still got a bunch of long ones to do by this saturday for the ...

If you grew up with any kind of Disney movies or cartoons, or you're a fan of the Marvel and Star Wars movies and cartoons, you'll like Disney +. And you know what?

Sorry, the originally posted episode had errors. This one is correct.

I had originally planned to talk more about the details of the trip, but I realized that nothing really happened. We went up for work. We visited the Grand Canyon as part of it. But I do really love the environment of Arizona. I can go on about that almost as much as I can talk about podcasting.

Buying a house is kind of a pain in the ass. Even more, packing up our stuff is a pain in the everything else. Since it is a federal holiday, my wife and all of the boys were out of school for Veteran's Day. So, we used the day to clean/ sort/ and pack up everything in the garage. Also, I know I am 4 episodes behind on my 30 episodes in 30 days. I will have a few news episodes that will be popping up in the coming weeks to catch up. Stay tuned.

It's day 6 of NAPODPOMO, and I'll just cut right to the chase. The reason I didn't release an episode on Monday the 4th was because last week we began the process of buying a home.

Two things: First, these episodes will be shorter segmented versions of the show. There will be some days of me rambling. Some days will be news stories. Others may be recommendations or interviews. Second, with exception to the interviews, everything will be unedited. If the boys interrupt, they interrupt. Also why thing...

Except this time she was invited to be part of November's National Podcast Post Month interviews. After editing down that episode, all the stuff "left on the cutting room floor" was just too good to throw away, and made for a pretty good episode itself.
