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 batch of smoked chicken this last weekend. A lot of lessons were learned, but the food was nevertheless amazing.-Support The Show-Leave Me a Voicemail ‪(516) 636-7631‬ (ODO-POD1)Join the Facebook Group Oddballs: Friends of The Odd Dad OutBuy Me A CoffeeVisit The ODO ShopTwitter @OdddadoutFacebook @OddadoutInstragram @Odddadout Hosted on Acast.

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.Full Show Notes at https://odddadoutpodcast.com/im-a-giant-bread-making-nerd-odo-231-Support The Show-Leave Me a Voicemail ‪(516) 636-7631‬ (ODO-POD1)Join the Facebook Group Oddballs: Friends of The Odd Dad OutBuy Me A CoffeeVisit The ODO ShopTwitter @OdddadoutFacebook @OddadoutInstragram @Odddadout Hosted on Acast.

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 Listening" segment and turn it more into a "what I've been watching" segment, starting with my recent rewatching of the classic sitcom, "Night Court."BS From The NewsGuy Finds $120K in Cocaine In Tire After Getting A Flat CDC Workers Get Sick While Investigating Illness Near East Palestine Train DerailmentWhat Am I Watching"Night Court""An eccentric fun-loving judge presides over an urban night court and all the silliness going on there."Watch "Night Court" on Freevee-Support The Show-Leave Me a Voicemail ‪(516) 636-7631‬ (ODO-POD1)Join the Facebook Group Oddballs: Friends of The Odd Dad OutBuy Me A CoffeeVisit The ODO ShopTwitter @OdddadoutFacebook @OddadoutInstragram @Odddadout Hosted on Acast.

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 the Facebook Group Oddballs: Friends of The Odd Dad OutBuy Me A CoffeeVisit The ODO ShopTwitter @OdddadoutFacebook @OddadoutInstragram @Odddadout Hosted on Acast.

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 OutBuy Me A CoffeeVisit The ODO ShopTwitter @OdddadoutFacebook @OddadoutInstragram @Odddadout Hosted on Acast.

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 fingersA 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.

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...Join the Facebook Group Oddballs: Friends of The Odd Dad Outhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/odddadoutBuy Me A Coffeehttp://buymeacoffee.com/odddadoutFollow Along on Social athttps://www.twitter.com/odddadout/https://www.facebook.com/odddadout/https://www.instagram.com/odddadout Hosted on Acast.

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?BS From The News-German Police Asking For Help Solving Bull Sperm TheftAuthorities in Berlin are asking for the public’s help in locating approximately 60 containers of bull sperm stollen from a farm in Olfen.-Man Arrives To Court On Meth Charge, With Meth In His PocketA Chatanooga man was found to have a canister full of meth on him after tripping the metal detector at the court house, while he was entering to face charges of possession of meth.-Woman Sues Kraft Over Cook Time On Velveeta Microwave ShellsA Florida woman is suing Kraft Foods because the packaging on the Velveeta microwave shells and cheese does not account for prep time when claiming it can be ready in 3 1/2 minutes.-Scientists Have Revived an Ancient Zombie VirusA team of French scientists have revived a “zombie virus” that has been frozen in the Siberian permafrost for approximately 50,000 years.Join the Facebook Group Oddballs: Friends of The Odd Dad Outhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/odddadoutBuy Me A Coffeehttp://buymeacoffee.com/odddadoutFollow Along on Social athttps://www.twitter.com/odddadout/https://www.facebook.com/odddadout/https://www.instagram.com/odddadout Hosted on Acast.

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.I actually have a quote from this book tattooed on my side inspired by a major trauma that I experienced many years ago.(For more check out the episode: The Incident.)https://odddadoutpodcast.com/the-incident/ Hosted on Acast.

Day 26 of NAPODPOMO brings the long awaited return of "Bullshit From The News."

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.

I know I promised to read "The Stinky Cheese Man" today, but unfortunately I got hit with a Thanksgiving sinus infection. So instead, I just want to say thank you to each and every one of you out there listening to me and my randomness, especially through all of NAPODPOMO. Hosted on Acast.

Since I read a more adult bedtime story earlier this week, for Day 23 of NAPODPOMO I'm reading, the more traditional classic bedtime story, "Goodnight Moon" by Margaret Wise Brown.Music: Relaxing Dreams by MusicLFilesFree download: https://filmmusic.io/song/6787-relaxing-dreamsLicense (CC BY 4.0): https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseArtist website: https://cemmusicproject.wixsite.com/musiclibraryfiles Hosted on Acast.

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.
