After the depth of the previous episode, Phil and John turn to even more serious subjects:

 

Stories from the Rapid City Dump.

Yardwork woes and the mystery berries.

The main topic:  the pitfalls of posting songs on Podcasts and why we were unceremoniously booted from our hosting service. 

We talk about experiences on past Independence Days.

John rants about GIFs and is often reminded of the olde “Punch The Monkey” ads on the Web.

A strange side track regarding MSNBC hosts.

John and two of his brothers check in from an abandoned Taco John’s location in Rapid City.

Other things that you’ll just have to discover for yourself.

The song:  “Abandoned Taco John’s”

25: Philosophical Friends

We finally get around to doing an episode featuring special guest, Lee H!

 Despite the fact that we recorded in the morning this time, we somehow found a way to use the words, “bottled in bond”.

Topics:

We ponder how missing children are found today now that their pictures are no longer printed on containers of milk.

 

John and Lee talk about how far back they go as friends and how they were the tallest kids in their first grade class. 

 

The many formative years spent playing D&D.

 

This somehow leads into concentration, creativity, and “talent”.

 

Making comedy tapes in High School.  Inspired by  The Firesign Theatre

 

The three reveal whether or not they are “Morning People”.

 

After a break, Lee talks about his literary interests and his novels.

 

Lee’s “Walls of Covenant” series:
