It's been a while so this one is EXTRA LONG! I recently got my spring garden planted. This is my most intentional and, from an output perspective, ambitious planting yet. I got sidelined hard by a couple of kidney stones. And last but definitely not least, I address the two major family losses that have kept me away and the toll it's taken. https://odddadoutpodcast.com/pain-pain-more-pain-and-some-gardening-too-odo-229/ -Support The Show- Leave Me a Voicemail ‪(516) 636-7631‬ (ODO-POD1) Join the Facebook Group Oddballs: Friends of The Odd Dad Out Buy Me A Coffee Visit The ODO Shop Twitter @Odddadout Facebook @Oddadout Instragram @Odddadout

I know I've been doing all of the other things lately, but this week I'm back to just rambling about my garden, making my own sausages, and the wonders of growing and making your own fresh food. -Support The Show- Leave Me a Voicemail ‪(516) 636-7631‬ (ODO-POD1) Join the Facebook Group Oddballs: Friends of The Odd Dad Out Buy Me A Coffee Visit The ODO Shop Twitter @Odddadout Facebook @Oddadout Instragram @Odddadout

Hope you’re having a pleasant holiday season. It’s been crazy busy around here as usual. We had a well executed, albeit tiring, Christmas, even if I did have a slight miscalculation in cooking Christmas dinner. We’ve been watching some new stuff over the holidays. And the US government is not about to let the French or the EU upstage them in bullshit jackass spending. -What I’ve Been Watching- The Invitation (Netflix) A modern retelling of a classic monster tale that is very easy to figure out if you’re paying attention. The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones A film adaptation of the Cassandra Claire YA book series, it was meant to start a movie franchise but failed at the box office. (Per my wife: the movie follows the story of the first book fairly accurately, but the casting is not very accurate.) Shadowhunters (series) With the failure of the Mortal Instruments film, it was relaunched as a series on the Freeform network. (Again per my wife: the casting is much closer to the book descriptions, but the show very quickly deviates from the books.) -BS From The News- US Government pays $118,000 to study if Thanos could actually snap his fingers A team at Georgia Tech was given a $118,000 grant to study snapping. They were especially curious to learn if Thanos would have been able to snap his fingers while wearing the Infinity Gauntlet. Spoilers, it only works because it’s a movie. -Support The Show- Leave Me a Voicemail ‪(516) 636-7631‬ (ODO-POD1) Join the Facebook Group Oddballs: Friends of The Odd Dad Out Buy Me A Coffee Visit The ODO Shop Twitter @Odddadout Facebook @Oddadout Instragram @Odddadout

I'm all over the place this week. But what's new about that? I'm finally doing our garage renovations. I'm scrambling to make french toast. I'm Live taste testing a Dreamworld Coca Cola. And I'm reviewing "Black Adam." Of course there's also a very packed "Bullshit From The News," with more groans than you can shake an overpriced government program at...

After surviving NAPODPOMO, I’m trying to get back into the swing of doing more of the regular segments. In the news I have a battle for who can be the biggest dumbass. Between stupid criminals, stupid lawsuits, and stupid scientists, I think you may have to decide, just who is the “Jackass of the Week.” Of course, I have my regular ramblings, but I don’t have to tell you that, now do I? BS From The News -German Police Asking For Help Solving Bull Sperm Theft Authorities in Berlin are asking for the public’s help in locating approximately 60 containers of bull sperm stollen from a farm in Olfen. -Man Arrives To Court On Meth Charge, With Meth In His Pocket A Chatanooga man was found to have a canister full of meth on him after tripping the metal detector at the court house, while he was entering to face charges of possession of meth. -Woman Sues Kraft Over Cook Time On Velveeta Microwave Shells A Florida woman is suing Kraft Foods because the packaging on the Velveeta microwave shells and cheese does not account for prep time when claiming it can be ready in 3 1/2 minutes. -Scientists Have Revived an Ancient Zombie Virus A team of French scientists have revived a “zombie virus” that has been frozen in the Siberian permafrost for approximately 50,000 years.

It's finally here!! We made it to day 30 of NAPODPOMO!! Here's what we did and hopefully where things will be going in the future.

It's Day 29 of NAPODPOMO and for my second to last day I've got another dose of "BS From The News." Oklahoma man arrested for shooting at family over drunken game of Monopoly. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11479097/Oklahoma-man-arrested-family-game-Monopoly-got-angry-started-shooting.html

It's Day 28 of NAPODPOMO and for some reason I spent today binging "Wednesday" on Netflix. I will say, I have my issues with it, but it's overall a good show. Looking forward to season 2.

For Day 27 of NAPODPOMO I am reading a book that holds a very special place in my heart, "I Had Trouble In Getting To Solla Sollew" by Dr. Seuss. I actually have a quote from this book tattooed on my side inspired by a major trauma that I experienced many years ago. (For more check out the episode: The Incident.) https://odddadoutpodcast.com/the-incident/

Day 26 of NAPODPOMO brings the long awaited return of "Bullshit From The News." Today I bring to you the tale of a stabbing over hotdog vendor turf outside a San Diego ballpark. https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/local/hot-dog-vendor-arrested-for-stabbing-hot-dog-vendor-outside-petco-park/509-287e0d17-716a-49c3-894b-17d115e15ee0

Sooooo that sinus infection hasn't gotten any better. As such I had to stay home from work today. But on the plus side, my wife and I got to check out the new remake of "The Oregon Trail" that just dropped on the Nintendo Switch. I'll just say it now, they managed to find the perfect balance between nostalgic and modern styles with this game.

I know I promised to read "The Stinky Cheese Man" today, but unfortunately I got hit with a Thanksgiving sinus infection. So instead, I just want to say thank you to each and every one of you out there listening to me and my randomness, especially through all of NAPODPOMO.

Since I read a more adult bedtime story earlier this week, for Day 23 of NAPODPOMO I'm reading, the more traditional classic bedtime story, "Goodnight Moon" by Margaret Wise Brown.

I don't know why, but on Day 22 of NAPODPOMO I've been unnecessarily productive. Out of nowhere I decided not only to clean the garage, but to build my long waiting workbench. I also made our pies for Thanksgiving... All while I should have been sleeping.

In 21 days of NAPODPOMO I haven't really had any really random rambling days. I end up giving a rundown of my Thanksgiving menu, and spin the death of Power Rangers actor, Jason David Frank, into a secondary ramble about you the fans and my commitment to getting this show back on a regular schedule.

For Day 20 I bring to you one of the greatest bedtime stories ever written, "Go the Fuck To Sleep" by Adam Mansbach.

It's day 19 of NAPODPOMO and I figure I needed to provide another update on how my winter garden is doing since it's been a few weeks and some things have changed.

For day 18 of NAPODPOMO I am reading "The Very Thirsty Vampire" by Michael Teitelbaum. Buy it on Amazon https://a.co/d/20yWs07

It's day 17 of NAPODPOMO and I honestly can't believe I've made it this far. I think this is the longest I've gone without breaking the streak for NAPODPOMO in all the years I've tried. So here's an update on what I'm planning for the last two weeks of this challenge.

I've got another video game review for Day 16 of NAPODPOMO. Today I'm talking about "Yoshi's Crafted World" for the Nintendo Switch.
