The Old Dog Pack Show

12/12/2024

Alright, you yacht rockers, it’s time for another round of The Old Dog Pack Show! Dr. Rees, The Governor, and Jackson are still solvin’ the world’s problems while you sit on your couch wonderin’ how life got so complicated.

In This Very Special Episode:

1. Antibiotics and STD Roulette-We’re takin’ a dive into the world of Ivermectin and Penicillin. And if that doesn’t already sound like a fun Saturday night, wait ‘til we throw in antibiotic-resistant syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. You know, there are pros and cons to everything.
2. Pam Bondi vs. Janet Reno-Anyone see Trump’s pick for attorney general? Let’s just say she’s a little easier on the eyes than ol’ Janet Reno. No disrespect, Janet, but we gotta call it like we see it.
3. The Role of the Attorney General-Turns out, the AG is more than just a glorified hall monitor. We’re breakin’ it down so even the jury can understand… which brings us to—
4. Juries: Idiots or Geniuses? Twelve strangers, one verdict. Are they really seein’ through the BS, or are they just lookin’ for the closest vending machine?
5. Christopher Cross: Yacht Rock Dealer Extraordinaire-Turns out, smooth sailing wasn’t just a song—it was a lifestyle. Acid drops, pot dealing, and vibes so chill you’ll wonder how this guy ever made it to the studio.

So grab a cold one, slap on some sunscreen, and get ready to laugh, learn, love, and question everything you thought you knew about yacht rock and the legal system.

What’s up, degenerates?! This week on The Old Dog Pack Show, the gang dives into some of the more. Dr. Rees, the Governor, and Jackson are back at it, proving once again that a self-improvement podcast for the middle-aged man is doomed to devolve into 30 minutes of grab-ass.

Here’s what we got on tap for ya this week:

“Do You Even Party, Bro?”
Are parties even fun, or are we all just showing up for the finger foods and praying the host has decent chairs? 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 fu***rs.
The Furry Thing… Yeah, We Went There.
Listen, we didn’t wake up today planning to talk about furries, but here we are. In “New News,” our heroes give us the 101 on what’s up with these people dressing up like animals and living their best lives. Fetishes, conventions, and yes, some uncomfortable truths you probably didn’t need to know.
The Baby Swap Bombshell.
A 49-year-old woman finds out she was switched at birth. Thanks to 23 and Me, a north Texas woman finally has some clarity as to why she hates her family’s guts.
So grab a drink, crank up the volume, and join us for another episode of midlife mundanity and questionable wisdom.

This week on The Old Dog Pack Show, Dr. Rees, the Governor, and Jackson bring you a post-Thanksgiving buffet of chaos and class. First up, it’s the Texas A&M vs. UT showdown. Who wants to make a bet? Spoiler alert: the loser’s takes a spin on the the ODP Karaoke Wheel where American Idol meets public humiliation.

Then the guys take a hard left into politics (because why not?) and ask the big question: would you take a gig in Biden’s or Trump’s cabinet?

But wait, we’re not just here to stir the pot—we’re growing as people! Introducing the Halfway to Dead segment, where our heroes lay out their goals for December. Push-ups, sit-ups, cardio, life stuff—no big deal, just trying to hit 2025 with a little momentum behind us.

Next, they go full internet vigilante and take on social media comment section trolls. It’s like a therapy session, except with more swearing and less resolution. Somewhere along the way, C.S. Lewis shows up. (Yeah, that C.S. Lewis. Don’t ask.)

Oh, and did you know a killer VO2 max might matter more than the size of your waistband? Science says so. Finally, things get weird when the guys reminisce about Raygun the Breakdancer. Who is she? Why does she matter? You’ll have to listen to find out.

Alright, buckle up, ya middle-aged maniacs. In this one, the Governor is still off the grid, so Dr. Rees and Jackson get into the real stuff—y’know, the kind of weird s**t you do when no one’s watchin’. You ever caught yourself in the mirror like Paul Rudd in Wanderlust? Yeah, we’re talkin’ about THAT level of weird.

But wait, there’s more! We take a detour into Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. You know, the pyramid thing everyone brings up when they’re tryin’ to sound smart. Turns out, anxiety’s lurking in there somewhere like a drunk uncle at Thanksgiving.

And speakin’ of Thanksgiving, the boys remind us why it’s the king of holidays. Spoiler: it’s all about Arlo Guthrie and his 18-minute masterpiece, Alice’s Restaurant. That song? It’s a rite of passage, not just a tune.

Oh, and then we wrap it up with some solid old-school rebellion. Michelle Phillips of The Mamas and The Papas? She ate a BANANA on the freakin’ Ed Sullivan Show. A BANANA! Back then, that was like moonin’ the Queen.

So grab a drink, pop in the earbuds, and let’s dive into the beautifully absurd world of middle-aged nonsense.

Alright, with the Governor out doing God knows what, Dr. Rees and Jackson dive into the hard-hitting questions this week, like, “Is turkey overrated, or are we all just lying to ourselves for tradition’s sake?” Spoiler alert: it ain’t that great. 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 su***de 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. You might just learn something.

As some of you know, I fu**ed my leg up pretty badly last year, and I sat around feeling sorry for myself for nearly a year and a half following my accident. Nobody said it to my face, but I'm betting it was whispered more than once, "Man, Jackson has really let himself go."

Anyway, while experiencing a moment of clarity during my dark period, the incomparable Dale Watson was kind enough to suffer a few fools and give us an interview and let us know where he's been and where he's going.

While I was stoked to have the opportunity, afterwards, my serotonin glitch went back into overdrive and I sat on the interview for several months before releasing it. To add insult to injury, I failed to promote the episode worth a s**t. Anyway, it's still the high point of this show and Dale deserved better. Having said that, anything Dale says deserves to be heard, so here it is.

That's right. Published two weeks in a row, which is most likely a record.

This week on The Old Dog Pack Show, our heroes air a few middle-aged grievances. First off, we’re talking about pet peeves—like, why do celebrities feel the need to tell me who to vote for? Thanks to the random actor and actresses who are incensed if we don’t base our entire worldview on their opinions. Rees and the Governor nerd out on some Michael Crichton books, and it appears that 800 pages of techno-jargon gets them worked up like 17 year old daydreaming in his geometry class while he sits behind the head cheerleader on game day. Okay, we get it, the computer’s smarter than all of us. Of course, no show would be complete without giving props to the great Eleven Hundred Springs.

In this episode, our heroes knock the rust off, roll up their sleeves, and dive deep into some savory subjects and rock ‘n’ roll revelations. First up: the seismic shift that was Donald Trump’s election. Love him or hate him, his election has left an indelible mark on the collective psyche. And, as per their usual, the boys stray into other topics ranging from the Old 97’s to Jack Ruby’s suits to Gilligan’s Island.

In this episode, our heroes knock the rust off, roll up their sleeves, and dive deep into some spicy subjects and rock ‘n’ roll revelations.

Well, we’re back again. After nearly 10 months of deep reflection, the world’s premier podcast regarding the mind, body, soul, and money of the middle-aged man is back.

What we have for you here is another lost episode. It was recorded in February of 2024 and uploaded on November 9, 2024. When we uploaded the episode, we had all forgotten what it was about, but the delay couldn’t have worked out any better. Take a listen and see how astute our heroes are when it comes to their political insight.

After six months wandering in the wilderness, we’re back. Welcome to The Old Dog Pack Show — the world’s premier podcast regarding the mind, body, soul, and money of the middle-aged man.

Episode 101 has the whole gang back together again. Cory “The Governor” Dakin, Dr. Brian Rees, and Craig Jackson knock the rust off with a very special Valentine’s Day episode. They talk WWII. They talk Taylor and Travis. They talk Valentine’s Day (is it a real holiday?). They talk Brokeback Mountain. They talk about their hiatus. We hope you’ll tune back in and put us back in your regular rotation.

So here we are on Valentine's Day Eve, and I am betting you're one of those guys who is planning on running by Kroger on the way home from work and grabbing the remnants of some beat up bouquet of flowers and a $6.00 greeting card that's not too sappy and not too silly. The fellows and I decided to pen a tune about a never-ending love. Christmas has "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer." Thanksgiving has "Alice's Restaurant Massacree." Now Valentine's Day has "Be My Valentine For Eternity."
