Although Thanksgiving was last week. The boys wanted to do a Thanksgiving Episode. There are so many things in life to be grateful for.

Rodney and Sean decided to talk sports this week. It left Will speechless because he knows very little about sports. Many good points made during this podcast even from Will. Enjoy!

This week the boys talk about age. Age is just a number depending on who you look at it. It's more about how you look the world, who you look at yourself in relationship to others and your ability to listen to folks of all different ages. Keep in mind, getting older is not a bad thing. Not everyone gets the privilege to learn about themselves as they grow older. Enjoy!

The boys dig into the idea that the people you surround yourself with is more important than you think. Are they Friend or Foe? They discuss what a real, solid friendship is and how you know when it is not. Many important lessons to learn on this podcast. Enjoy!

Rodney had a weird experience at a doctor's appointment that had him thinking that maybe the medial field isn't really interested in men's health. So, that is the subject of this week's episode. Enjoy.

The boys want to wish everyone a Happy Independence Day! It would be far happier if there were little to no Government Overreach. Sean thought this episode would be a perfect time to invite his wife on to discuss. Enjoy!

Know Your Audience is the topic of this week's podcast episode. The boys talk about situations they've been in and some that they have seen first hand. The idea is that you can't just off load all your business on the first date. You can't be telling racial jokes when I just met you. Know who you are talking to and know who you can trust. Enjoy!

Does Size Matter? This is a subject old as time. The boys decided to bring in some ladies in as guests to pose the question. Not sure if the question got answered but they thought it's a subject that should be talked about. Enjoy!

Statistics tell us that women suffer from depression more then man. Well knowing men, they just don't seek help for it as much as women do. You know how it is, "be a man" and "suck it up".

This is going to be a good listen. Enjoy!

We talk about a few things in this episode and one of the topics is professional attire in the workplace.

In the intro of just about every podcast, Will says the three hosts are born in three different decades, have three different opinions and live three different lifestyles.
