220: Whither thy Weather, Speak Up, No Kings

Author: David and Del June 20, 2025 Duration: 31:55
Send us Fan Mail The Bucks whine about the weather again...and again. Do you have a butt dial story? Let us know. We're all ears, hearing aids and all. Bucks reconnect with Old Buck Gene, whose memory issues have taken a turn for the better. Amazing. Bucks pay tribute to Sly Stone and Brian Wilson, two monsters of the music of our youth. Do you have a favorite song from either? Let us know. Dave attended the No Kings demonstration in Sarasota. It's a good start. Our two bonus tracks are...

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.
