The Gary and Mark Show

It’s fall and that means it’s county fair season around these parts. Gary & Mark talk about the small fair that comes to Watershed, NC and then think back to a memorable time at a couple of county fairs during their youth. Put it this way, there is something they mention that they haven’t forgotten decades later. Next up is a discussion about the proposed tattoo parlor wanting to open up on Main S...

Even though the Gary & Mark Podcasting University is just a few months old, we’re already branching out and experimenting with divisions, departments, and special services. We still have big plans for our athletic department. But until AD Don Silleman can round us up some colleges to play, we’re not sitting around twiddling our thumbs. In this episode we talk about a “fantasy campus” kind of like...

Clemson’s Dabo Swinney should be scared! The Gary & Mark Podcasting University now has an athletic program. We have caved to pressure. We thought we could get by with just focusing on academics at our institution of higher learning. But we misread the demands of our alumni and current student body. They want an athletic program. Of course we can’t please everybody but decided that perhaps we shoul...

About this time twenty years ago Chuck Hearon was finishing up his thru-hike on the Appalachian Trail. Gary and Mark chat with Chuck about his backpacking journey of close to 2,200 miles in 1999. Two decades later he remembers it like he just walked off the trail. Most people only dream about such an adventure and those who actually start the journey call it quits a few hundred miles in. Chuck is...

We’ve squeezed a bunch into a relatively short podcast for you. Take a listen as Gary attempts to get out the name of our host location by trying every variation possible from the words in the official name. But all was forgiven as our first bit of news announces our official sponsorship by the place whose name we have struggled with for so long – Green River Eddy’s Tap Room & Grill at Saluda Outf...

They didn’t even make us promise to get the name right…but for the record it’s “Green River Eddy’s Tap Room & Grill at Sal...

Gary and Mark, along with our regular guest, Howard, reminisce a bit about some of our early experiences with beer. From early craft beers to first beer to getting confused about which bathroom to use, we tell it all. While "The Gary and Mark Show" is definitely not a show about beer…it does seem to come up a lot in our podcasts. Most of our podcasts take about as much time as a bathroom break, bu...

You don’t think you are old until certain things happen. Gary & Mark talk about a few of the things that made them realize that yes, even they, were officially senior citizens.

Before we had our introductory episode and before we had our first major sponsor (The Big Whizz Pocket Buddy app), and before we made it to The Sanctuary Brewing Company…Gary and Mark sat outdoors on a nice spring day and shot the breeze in the breeze. This episode was recorded at Green River Barbecue in Saluda, NC and we were just playing around. In this episode (we called it our “pilot”), Gary a...

I mentioned to Gary that my Aunt Louise was a little worried that all our podcasts had to do with beer. I assured her that while it seems that way right now; we would be talking about all kinds of topics from all kinds of places. So when Gary told me we were going to broadcast from the sanctuary, I just assumed he meant from a place of worship somewhere in our area. It ends up he was taking us to...
