Episode 41 - The Watershed Mayoral Election and other happenings around town.
Thursday Dec 10, 2020
Thursday Dec 10, 2020
The national election wasn't the only place calling for recounts. The race for mayor in our little town caused quite a stir. Usually, Mayor Thomas runs unopposed, but this year he had some competition. The race ended up being a bit too close...so a recount was in order. That's where DeeDee came in handy.
Check out life in Watershed and taken a listen to The Gary and Mark Show.

Iron Key Brewing Company - Episode 40
Thursday Oct 22, 2020
Thursday Oct 22, 2020
Gary and Mark join up with Chris Balliew, for Episode 40. Chris is the Head of Taproom Operations at the recently opened Iron Key Brewing Company in Columbus, NC. We had a nice conversation with Chris after putting down a tasty lunch and an Iron Key brew. Iron Key Brewing Company is on the grounds and in the buildings of an old North Carolina state prison. Gary even got to spend a "night in the box." Well, not really...but he did get to sit on a bunk in solitary confinement. It was a good place for him to chill.
Check out our YouTube version of this episode.

Finding Beech Point after 49 Years!
Thursday Sep 17, 2020
Thursday Sep 17, 2020
Gary and Mark met 49 years ago at Camp Mondamin and that was the start of a friendship still going strong after all these years. One event of their memorable first summer together was taking their two cabins of campers on an overnight hike to a brand-new rustic cabin at a place called Beech Point. After hours and hours of searching, they never found it. Well, 49 years later they had success.
Follow this condensed 15 minute podcast video as they recreate this momentous disaster. Finally, they have some closure.

This is "Taj," the hub of the program office during the summer. They call the benches in front, "The
Magic Triangle." That's where many activities meet to start their adventures...and that's where
the magic happens.
This is Lake Summit, home of Camp Mondamin. Rabbit Island Resort is barely visible to the left in this photo.
And here's the cabin at Beech Point - the "point" of this episode.

The Connecticut Hotdog Trail and other musings from Gary & Mark
Saturday Aug 15, 2020
Saturday Aug 15, 2020
We enjoyed our guests, James and Andrew Greco, who told us about their trip along “The Connecticut Hotdog Trail.” The father and son spent a few days consuming a lot of dogs across the great state of Connecticut (and other nearby spots).
We also have some dates in history, a discussion of the big earthquake that shook Watershed and half the state of North Carolina a couple of weeks ago.

Three Old Friends share Stories and Music on the Tower at Camp Mondamin
Saturday Aug 01, 2020
Saturday Aug 01, 2020
We had a wonderful time with our guest Scott Reed out on the tower at Camp Mondamin on Lake Summit. Scott, Gary, and Mark all met in the early 70s at the camp. It was only appropriate that the first face-to-face recording of the podcast in months happened within view of Rabbit Island resort. We did follow reasonable guidelines for keeping ourselves a safe distance apart.
Scott, from Tupelo, MS (the birthplace of Elvis) is quite an accomplished musician. And a highlight of this episode is the musical portion. Scott is a part (a BIG part) of the band, Two Drink Minimum . Scott and Gary teamed up for several selections. Gary is an accomplished harmonica virtuoso. Mark stayed appropriately in the background during this portion.
Scott is a man of many talents. He’s a top-rated and much sought-after financial advisor with the firm, HardyReed. (www.hardyreed.com). And in fact, he’s the author of a best-selling book, Top 40 Rules of Investing. And Scott shares some of his knowledge with us in the first portion of this episode.
At the end of the show, you’ll hear how you can win a free copy of Scott’s book. For the rest of you, you can find his book on Amazon.

The Hike - How Trying to Find Beech Point made us 50-year friends!
Wednesday Jul 15, 2020
Wednesday Jul 15, 2020
In our first segment, Gary answers a request from a listener about why his new product, “The Little Buddy,” seems to be for men only. So as is usual, Gary will head back to the laboratory at The Gary & Mark Podcasting University and work on a version for ladies. Check out Episode 34 for the details on this new invention. We haven’t sold many yet (actually we haven’t sold any yet)…but one of these days!
Our featured segment is a camp story about the 1971 first cabin hike Mark went on as a brand-new counselor with Gary as the leader. It was a series of missteps in our search for an outpost cabin called Beech Point. We headed out in a search of something that…well, let’s just say a couple of hours in we were just hoping to avoid a mutiny at the hands of a bunch of 12-year-olds.
And finally, we end up with some insight on the apple business.

The Little Buddy - a new device sure to prove helpful.
Wednesday Jul 01, 2020
Wednesday Jul 01, 2020
Gary and Mark are still Zooming episodes. Our listeners are covered since you all are more than six feet away. As always, there’s a lot going on in this episode. Gary talks about a recent backpacking trip where he encounters a bear AND a rattlesnake and we bring you a couple of jokes from Rich, a true fan.
But it’s “The Little Buddy” device that Gary introduces that is sure to resonate with most of our listeners. Now that people are not gathering in huge crowds, the show’s “Pocket Buddy App” isn’t selling like it used to. But “The Little Buddy” invention is going to offer lots of conveniences to us guys wherever we are…crowds or not.
