It’s true. Rock music bridges generations. We talk to Scott Itter, aka "Dr. Music” about his career interviewing members of some of the world's most popular rock bands, and how he stays relevant talking to professional musicians young , old and in between.

Are you a grandparent? Then this show is must listen. We conduct our first interview with the co-creator of BabyBoomers.org, Gramps Jeffrey. He talks about the new age of grand parenting and why they’re integral to raising what he calls the next greatest generation.
We talk about food and what we used to eat, currently eat, and shouldn’t eat at all. We also talk about Scott’s carrot.
We bemoan the sad decline of kid’s interest in cars and driving. Maybe they know something we don’t. Also, Scott buys a man purse.
We riff on comedy, freedom of speech, Pepe le Pew, and Swanson Frozen Dinners.
(Note: we acknowledge the mistake regarding the reference to the Second Amendment.)
Fashion changes but guys with no sense of fashion are internal. We talk about our shifting approaches to attire.
You may not feel different, but the mirror doesn’t lie. We talk about how self perception lags behind what’s really going on.
Gen Z talks about everything we Boomers and older Generations Xers never would. And a new segment: Things We Still Don’t Understand.
We blame ourselves and explain ourselves while we talk winter exercise, cooking Walleye, and taking inspiration from a Dutch motorcyclist to be more regular about recording. Oh, and Scott is positively annoying.
Feeling a bit insecure about remembering things? We dive into forgetfulness and fading memory while blathering about musicals, selective recall, and harkening back on grade school teacher names.
Things that mildly annoy you can become immensely irritating as you get older. We air it out on this episode. Plus, Scott’s story of the week truly “delivers”.
We’re definitely dated and very confused by how our kids date and the state of interpersonal relationships. Scott recounts his go-to tunes when putting on his teenaged moves. So open (or twist off) a bottle of Riunite, put on side two of the Best of Bread, and give a listen.
We give our takes on love, relationships, work and finances as a service to younger folk. Scott gets heated over Pepé Le Pew.
We talk about friendship and how to make friends after 50. Then there's how Scott and I met. It’s a story.
You need a break today... from the holidays. And there is no better time to do it than during a pandemic.
Travel, toilets, shopping, and other generalized crankiness. I think the pandemic has gotten to us (meaning Scott).
So, what's this podcast about again? Time for a quick reintroduction, where we've been (at home), and pandemic inconveniences.
Health club old man horror stories; weight machine etiquette; I REALLY didn't need to see that; and Scott gets attacked by a bird.
Highway risky business; why bench seats are epic; what country has the world's best drivers; and Scott learns Latvia is a real place.
What it's like getting older; boomer attitudes on aging; longevity; and the magic of Raclette.
