Les and Gene, two old school southerners trying to make sense of the world and reflecting on the past.
How far will young Gene go to get a brand new Zebco rod and reel? A Union man and his family traverse the United States in the 60's. Polaroid pictures, trout fishing, ballet and more!
Gene and Les discuss the concept of stolen valor and what it means to a couple of crusty old veterans. Is the military held in too high esteem today? Should veterans of foreign wars be put on pedestals? Does a Vietnam era tribal elder trump a regular tribal elder? It's all up for discussion with these Brothers in arms!
Les and Gene lament the loss of analog navagation, i.e. maps. Directions from a redneck. Is Instagram the bane of society? Poignant moments in Ed Harris films. Navigating by charts and starlight, from one Island to another.
Gene and Les discuss Nature Deficit Disorder and the implications for our National Defense! Richard Louv, author of The Nature Principle, http://richardlouv.com/books/last-child/
Can young Gene make it back east hitching a ride with a pipe smoking black dude? Listen in to find out...
Gene and Les discuss the peculiarities of disaster responses of USA and USSR, military might and voter suppression in South Georgia!
