    Welcome to Episode 112 of The Old Dog Pack Show, where middle-aged men navigate life with a dearth of wit and wisdom and a whole lot of “What the hell are we doing?” This week, Dr. Rees, the Governor, and Jackson tackle the tough questions. Questions like: Will Jackson hijack the music at Junior's Christmas party? Is Bitcoin really worth anything, or are we just all playing pretend with fake money? Let's break it down like boomers trying to log into Coinbase. Will the boys actually train for and run a 5k? Probably not. But hey, setting goals is half the battle, right? Why do parents get all jittery when their teens want to drive downtown? Is it the traffic, the crime, or just the thought of them getting lost and asking for directions like it's 1987? And while we're on the subject, should parents be tracking their kids' every move on apps like Life360? Let's just say, opinions are…divided. Additionally, Jackson articulates his totally reasonable (read: not even close) fitness goals. 100 consecutive push-ups and sit-ups? A sub 7:20 mile? A sub 5.5 40? Sure, and I'm opening for Bruce Springsteen next week. Finally, we're wishing Dr. Rees a speedy recovery as he gears up for meniscus surgery. The real question: will this take him out of beer league softball? Hey, Bud, do us a solid, will ya?

For some of us, they're the greatest, but for some, they are about as exciting as eating turkey. Things We Can Learn from Luigi Mangione. Looks like the search for United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson's murderer is over. What can we learn from accused killer Luigi Mangione? First, ditch the murder weapon. That includes the silencer. Second, ditch the fake IDs you used around the time you committed murder. Third, ditch the manifesto that explains your motive for committing murder. Finally, if your most prominent feature is your wild ass eyebrows, get some tweezers and pluck those fuckers.  The Furry Thing... Yeah, We Went There. Listen, we didn't wake up today planning to talk about furries, but here we are.

Scotch gets dragged into the mix too—are we sipping it 'cause it's good, or 'cause we wanna look like we're starring in a bad James Bond ripoff? Then these geniuses tackle whether grown men should hit the movies together, like, are you paying for your buddy's popcorn too, or just holding hands during the previews? Plus, there's this wild new high-tech suicide pod that sounds like something Elon Musk cooked up after a bad day at Twitter HQ. Oh, and Bud Light—yeah, that Bud Light—is trying to bounce back with Shane Gillis. Is it working? Who knows, but hey, free beer is free beer. Finally, our heroes pay tribute to their buddy Richard Corbitt, a man who was basically Ric Flair in lawyer form—loud, bold, and an absolute legend. Seriously, the guy was known to have walked into courtrooms with a “Wooooo!” If you're into turkey slander, scotch shade, and heartfelt tributes, this one's for you. Give it a listen.

    Welcome to The Old Dog Pack Show — the world's premier podcast regarding the mind, body, soul, and money of the middle-aged man.   In episode 69, the boys talk to trial lawyer extraordinaire, Richard Corbitt. Corbitt brings over 55 years of experience to the show. He tells us how to respond to the police if you've been pulled over after having a couple of drinks. He also discusses the changes in the laws related to solicitation of prostitutes that will surpise many, freedom-loving Texans. This is the first of what we hope will be many episodes with Corbitt telling war stories.    Sure, you can check us out at the usual outposts such as Spotify and Apple Podcasts, but for those of you who need more visual stimulation, you can now check out the show on YouTube at YouTube.com/@olddogpack.     If you would like to do us a big favor, go on over to Apple Podcasts and leave a 5 star rating and/or a short review.
