by William Cooper
You know, at our age, starting again is like pulling the cord on that old lawnmower that sits at the corner of your garage, the one that, no matter what you do, still smells like gasoline and faded summers. Like that glorious, but neglected machine, our podcast requires the right mix of fuel, a path that is clear of stones, and wheels that are kept away from the wet mulch.
Also, both require two good cranks to get going.
In our premiere episode, we discover ourselves, we kick technology to a background process (this is NOT a tech podcast!), William is drowned by a waterpik, and Scott shares a musical journey with Black Russian.
