Too Old to Fake It is for those in mid-life seeking honest--often blunt--thoughts on everything from online dating; second marriage; examining (and re-examining) career opportunities; family needs; retirement thoughts; and discussing current events, sports, and passions we want to pursue. At this point in our lives we are, frankly, too old to fake it, and want to live out our best lives all the while with a heavy dose of humor, honesty, and curiosity. P.S....this is an R-rated podcast (we tend to swear a lot...but not at each other).
Who needs a new bathroom when you can build a mini stable to house mini horses?Join Patrick and Pokey as Pokey explains why they need two more pets and Patrick believes they will inevitable outlive him.
“Be careful what you wish for!” We've been programmed from an early age that the secret to life is working hard so you can retire early enough in life to actually enjoy life. But for some, COVID gave us a glimpse into what retirement could be like, and at least for Patrick, it wasn't as glamorous as he would have hoped. Join Patrick and Pokey as they discuss pushing through the holidays, preparing for retirement and what the upcoming year has in store for the listener.
It's "Bats, Rats, and Renovations!" Join Pokey and Patrick as they discuss their experiences with home renovations, with tips for renovating your home from Patrick (a contractor). And Patrick asks the question: which is worse? A year-long home remodel or watching Pokey's movies (all the time)?
What's so wrong about wearing just a bathrobe in your office at work? Join Patrick and Pokey as we discuss the complexities of dealing with HR trainings and videos in our 50s. If we don't know by now--after being in the workforce for nearly three decades--when will we learn?
Who knows whom better? Play along with your partner/spouse as Patrick and Pokey play a quick round of the Newlywed Game to determine who is the better listener.
Patrick and Pokey navigate the complexities of moving in together. Why does Pokey not understand that the vintage photo of a 3-year-old boy smoking a cigarette beside a giant chicken is art? Is it cruel to make Patrick watch movies that make him cry and is it normal to sleep with a pack of dogs? Find out the answers to these and others questions as the two discuss “moving in together.”
In this episode Patrick and Pokey talk about their personal experiences with online dating. Who was the pig who dated everyone and who had a detailed plan and stuck with it? Join us to find out.
