Small Towns Podcast

Its been a while since we have been in the studio! This episode was recorded over a year ago, and it shows! Dave and Jason still struggle with the vocabulary of our kids… We said something that might be PG-13…. Problem is, we are not sure…  

Its been a minute, but Dave and Jason are back at it! Discussing board games(Dave feels like they should be called BORED games) Whatever….  Dodge Ball, Throwing balls right at your face…. And Concussions…. The guys have been concussed… More than once… Probably best for us to stick to Corn Hole. 

After a long summer sabbatical, Dave and Jason go off the rails just a bit… From Ol’ Yeller to using feminine razors to shave with… This episode covers many bases. Learn a bit more about Dave and Jason, and how they get ready each day…   Watch us on YouTube!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtlwqLyB1Vg

In this episode, we bring in our Number One Fan! Bennett! Bennett has listened to all of our podcasts… more than once…. Join us and meet Bennett as he shares some of his favorite episodes… and even quotes a bit of Russian! 

Dave and Jason go through a brief fit check(that’s what the kids are saying these days) and then quickly we digress into belly buttons and parades! What an episode! 

The Boys are back! Dave and Jason, after several months on hiatus, are back! In this episode we discuss traveling. Cross country flights with no ability to crack a window prove to be quite challenging for Jason… and that is just the beginning… Dave would struggle too, as his acute smelling sense is known to be one of his super powers. Join us at 35,000 feet! 

Ailments. The guys are not well (mainly Jason). They are both well into their 40’s… closer to 50 than 40 actually. They (mainly Jason) are not aging well. From bad feet to rashes where nobody wants rashes,  to needing to rub Mentholatum basically everywhere…   They (again, mainly Jason) go into great detail of their ailments… Except Dave… Dave has a cold. That’s it. Dave seems to be ailment free....

There are things in this life, that nobody wants to do again. Jason and Dave share a few of their things… Dave: Never wants to hang Christmas lights or get punched in the face… again. Jason: Participate in a Hostess Party? No thank you very much. The guys get a little vulnerable in this one… or are they just whiny? Probably just whiny… Note: We recorded this before we started to film our pods. But...

In what can only be referred to as one of the greatest road trips of all time, Jason takes Dave to Grouse Creek! Heather and Suzie joined as well. “The only problem was not being able to stay longer…” Dave was overheard saying. Join the guys as Jason shared all of his favorite haunts with Dave. Plus, Dave insisted that Jason recreate the pee your pants on school picture day. He of course obliged. ...

The guys make the jump into the world of YouTube ! This is our first podcast, that we actually filmed! We did this, because in this episode, we share some of our favorite things. Everything from Bose Headphones to Body wash and loofah’s! Wait a minute… Loofah’s?  Of course, our bodies can’t exfoliate themselves. http://www.smalltownsfavorites.com

How many Halloween movies are there? Tons! So we thought we could do a Halloween Pod Part II. Besides, everyone knows that the sequels are always better… Dave HAS put on face paint before… he didn’t like it then, he doesn't like it now. And all Jason wants is a delicious puffed rice ball from sweet Naomi for Halloween… 

Budge II. Dave and Scott share fighting techniques. Jason and Scott bond over their mutual love of fig newtons… but we all come together as we celebrate the perfection of what  is known as the double cheese at McDonalds… Even the cheese paper is delicious! 

Dave’s long time childhood friend and fellow small town boy Scott Budge visits the studio! This guy has it all! Complete with a BB gun wound to the arm… BB might still be in there… who knows? 

If you have smuggled chili over state lines, enjoy an occasional Fish Filet at McD’s or consider eating a Big Mac at midnight intuitive eating, then you are in good company with Jason and Dave. Dave thinks he could pound a whole box of twinkies, Jason would go for the Ding Dongs… Challenge accepted!

The guys dip their toes into the world of High Fashion. Dave doesn’t think it exists in our area. Jason disagrees… They settle on mid fashion. But honestly, if Guess, Girbaud, Silver Tabs, Parachute Pants, or The Bon Marche doesn’t scream out High Fashion, then what does?

Turns out that there are small towns everywhere – even Canada! Dave’s buddy Mitch, who hails from - get this - a Hamlet(that’s Canadian for small town) in Alberta Canada! Mitch gives the pod the international flair we have been missing! So buckle up, as we journey across the border to the land where bikes are too big and come with banana seats and sweet cherries can be found on every ham!

It is Saturday morning – 6AM. Only one place to find Jason – Right in front of the TV, snuggled in a blanket with nothing on but his UnderRoos armed with a bowl of Coco Puffs! Saturday morning cartoons are classic. Dave loves cartoons as well – but only the ones that started 10:00 or later… 

Only one of the guys is an Eagle Scout… Spoiler alert, its Dave. Go easy on Jason… he has some merit badges… 6 to be exact. We discuss many of the wonderful benefits of Scouting… What merit badges we do have, what ones we wish we had, and those that we probably need to give back.

Dave and Jason are joined by their WAY better half’s…. or is it halves? IDK… for our anniversary episode! Suzie and Heather set the record straight! Kind of… Sort of… 

Shel Silverstein poems, rice crispies, bad smells…..  If there is a more random podcast that we have done, I can’t remember it. This was fun! 

It is evident early on in the pod that Jason nor Dave know much about what it takes to be a Winter Olympian… But, can you eat school lunch and then go 10 rounds on the school yard merry go round? These guys can!

“Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.” ….We don’t even know what a gift horse is! The guys discuss old timey sayings… Most make no sense at all… but some do… See ya in the funnies! Full disclosure: Dave has to bleep Jason more than once in this episode... That guys swears like a sailor!

Jason and Dave have never been great at making(let alone keeping) New Year’s resolutions. However… That does not stop them from making resolutions for other people… You know what your problem is…?

Jason and Dave revisit Christmases past! School Christmas plays, family nativities, and traditions galore! “That’s right, Merry Christmas Everyone!”

Two words: Demolition Derby. Feel the chills go up your neck as our good friend Dan Grange puts us behind the wheel of his mid 70’s model GM derby car! Perhaps one of our most immersive podcasts yet! The only driver tougher than Dan? Dani… his wife.
