219: Crazy or just OLD? Gloucester Cheese, Canadian Fires, Spearhead

Author: David and Del June 3, 2025 Duration: 35:01
Send a text Here's a short video clip from the episode Del displays his geographic knowledge. He cannot be stumped. Why does Dave have to practice mounting his bicycle? Del makes milestone soup as only he can. Those crazy Brits and their cheese chases. Can you do this? Del expresses concern over proposed Medicaid cuts and the impact on poor people. Dave recommends Spearhead by Adam Makos. Our bonus track salutes the men and women who saved the world from tyranny. Will it happen ...

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.
