193: Buck Hunters, Cruciverbalism, Something Rotten in Denmark, Dr. Del, Counting Crows

Author: David and Del June 28, 2024 Duration: 34:25
Send us Fan Mail The Bucks learn how to spell that word Del couldn't pronounce last week. Are the two old bucks buck hunters or the hunted? Maybe, maybe not. You decide. Del sits in a hot car for five and a half hours and lived to tell about it. He said he learned in medical school that this is a cure for respiratory illnesses. &nbs...

Join David and Del, two long-time friends with a shared history of curiosity, as they navigate the strange and familiar territories of modern life in their podcast, TWO OLD BUCKS. This isn't a structured lecture or a frantic news recap; it's the sound of two companions thinking out loud, pulling threads from society, arts, books, and culture to see what unravels. You'll hear the easy rhythm of a deep friendship, where a documentary film might lead to a personal memory, which then sparks a commentary on something read years ago. The perspective is uniquely theirs-a blend of earned wisdom and a refusal to take anything, including themselves, too seriously. Expect conversations that are frequently thoughtful and sometimes whimsical, sporadically funny, and invariably insightful. They examine the world through cataract-clouded eyes, which seems to grant them a focus on what actually matters, even if, as they admit, sometimes they're not quite sure. Listening to this podcast feels like sitting in on a great talk between two explorers who have seen a lot but haven't lost their taste for the journey.
