My name is Cooper, Cooper McAlester. Known as simply Coop to most, I started this little podcast/blog shindig the day I graduated from college as a sort of journal exposé of my journey chronicling my adventures in the next chapter of my life.

So was going through and editing a bunch of clips, and stumbled upon this gem. Unintentionally recorded a sesh of me shooting the shit with one of my buddies whom we call Boner. Original, I know. Anyway, this is us drinking a few beers, watching a few fights, and cracking a few jokes. Completely unscripted, most likely was trying to upload the recordings that were already on my phone to free up some space and accidentally started recording this one, which is why it's so short. Who knows. I was drunk alright.

Beer & Almonds: Episode 36 - The Old Folks At Home

Forewarning: there is absolutely zero comedy in this podcast. No, rather I document a trip down memory lane, an old dirt road of time if you will; on a visit to my home town several months ago. I think about life and the passage of time, the changing of a year, a decade, and a generation. This is a topic that constantly preoccupies my mind. Though it may not be of any interest to you, for me these types of podcasts are a sort of catharsis. A purging of ideas that stir around in my head endlessly until I can formulate them into words. Only then can I truly hear what it is I've been thinking, and listen to myself to see if it makes any sense at all. Then re-work it all over again in my head and repeat the process. From this I've found that listening often turns out to be far more important than speaking. Recorded December 2019. The end of another year, and the end of another decade. Also, I apologize for the creepy low voice in advance.

For those of you that don't know, I do another podcast with a couple buddies from college called Magicast where we talk about the pitiful Orlando Magic basketball franchise. It's probably even more poorly produced than Beer & Almonds. It's probably recorded even more infrequently than Beer & Almonds. And we're so cheap and lazy we didn't feel like chipping in to cover the cost of soundcloud for our Magicast profile, so I've decided to just upload this here for the time being since it's been sitting around for a few weeks. We recorded this at the beginning of October, I think, right before the very first game of the season and I honestly would not doubt if it's the only episode we record this season. I'm on the podcast and I don't even really care about basketball. Haven't watched a single game yet this season. I just use it as an excuse to chat with some old buddies every couple weeks. Anyway, hope you enjoy. Other Magicast episodes: https://soundcloud.com/magicast69 or search Magicast on iTunes.

One of these days I’m going to learn how to record this without any white noise. But not today. Q-Tip joins me this week for another podcast where we explore topics such as multiple dimensions, parallel universes, post apocalyptic waste lands, time travel, lessons from history, predictions of the future, summations of society, life goals, achievements, meaning, purpose, and one shitty diaper conversation. Stimulating stuff. At the end of the day, it’s whatever.

Here we catch up with a few college buddies of mine. We got mumbling Goose from Sarasota, Long John Silver from Orlando, and finally McCormick from Apalachicola who is tryna stop chasing that buzz.

Recorded 6/16. Quick update on a new chapter in my life - life in the van. It's already hotter than expected. Sweatier than expected. Wi-fi is scarce. Uploading from the public library, thank you City of Jacksonville. All of my free time is productive now. I am constantly thinking and planning about what I am to do once I get off work. I actually plan to do something every day. There are tasks for me to complete. No longer do I sit on the couch and melt away wasting countless hours with the distractions that are television, social media, and the vast majority of garbage that is on the internet. Every day is different. It's a journey. I've already crammed more stuff into the past 120 hours than I have in the past 1200 hours. Alright that might be a stretch but you get the idea. Getting it how I live it. Living it how I get it. All is well. Life is good.
