Don Silleman, the Gary & Mark Podcasting University Athletic Director, visited the show for this episode. And it’s a good thing. We were worried about our athletic program for the coming fall season. But, as is usually the case, Don has the answer to keeping the program active and on the cusp of greatness in the world of big-time college sports.
Mark, Don, and Gary pre-social distancing. This photo was taken on the day Don accepted
the position of AD for the Gary & Mark Podcasting University.

Dee Dee, Motorcycle Gang Leader of the W3 Joins Us
Friday May 01, 2020
Friday May 01, 2020
It’s a good thing we’re still social distancing because Dee Dee, head of the Wicked Women of Watershed joined us for our show. This all-female motorcycle “gang” is more commonly known as “the W3.” We’ve always stayed clear of the gang, and especially Dee Dee, when we’re in our home base in Watershed. But several fans have emailed in to ask us to get her on the show. It was a dare actually. So be warned that she’s a little rough around the edges. And she probably knows where you live.

Even More Distant - Skype got us together.
Wednesday Apr 15, 2020
Wednesday Apr 15, 2020
This is the first-ever episode where everyone was someplace else. In this current time, this is starting to seem like “normal.” However, using Skype is a bit of a stretch for Gary and Mark. Gary even claimed he was a Skype "virgin." We figured it out by show time…which is defined as whenever we hit “record.”
We managed to record the show, including capturing the video, and even brought in Dr. James Moore, our Dean of the Western Campus of the Gary and Mark Podcasting University located out in Arizona.
Join us for 35 minutes of fun including some shout outs, a chat with Jim out in Arizona about what online schooling is like and what advice he has for us to continue our training for the Aluminum Man Triathlon, and we’re even throwing in some texting codes for seniors.
And don't forget you can see the "video" podcast of this episode (#29) on our YouTube channel. Just search for "The Gary and Mark Show" or look for the links on our website.

Social Distancing - Gary and Mark are taking this seriously
Wednesday Apr 01, 2020
Wednesday Apr 01, 2020
Gary and Mark gathered outdoors separated by mostly six feet of space (check out the YouTube podcast version if you don’t believe us) – to record this episode.
There’s a lot to listen to so in these days of self-quarantines…you might as well grab a cup of coffee or a pint of brew and enjoy the whole episode in one session.
As always, we have lots to chat about, but highlights of this episode include three guests brought in via cellphone.
The first is our long-awaited chat with Watershed’s own mayor, Mayor Thomas. We appreciate Mayor Thomas taking time out of his busy day. He’s been dealing with important town issues, so we’re pleased he was willing to talk with us about some of the recent events in Watershed. He’s promised he’ll make himself available to join us either in person or by phone as his busy governmental schedule allows.
Our next guest is show legal counsel, Joseph Clarke, Esquire. We had a few legal questions to run by Joe in our hopes to keep our show in line with current regulations. Joe does have some suggestions. Our only suggestion is that he not send the bill until we have some money under the mattress.
Following Joe is an old-time friend, Frank T. Schell. Frank has been following our podcast with interest since he is also a camp friend. He and his wife, Melody, live full-time in a 40 ft. RV he calls a doublewide-on-wheels. We’ve heard it’s pretty amazing but haven’t actually seen it. Frank is making a name for himself in the world of pickleball.
Left to right:
Mayor Thomas - Mayor of Watershed and Director of Legislative Affairs for the show
Joseph Clarke, Esquire - Legal Counsel for both the show and the Gary & Mark Podcasting University
Frank T. Schell - Head of Tourism and Development for Rabbit Island Resort & Pickleball Head Coach for the University

There’s a whole range of topics Gary and Mark discuss in episode 27. It starts with a shout out to someone who actually was waiting for our “Security Pants” idea to make it to market. We’re about to close a deal on that.
If that’s not enough good news, we share our sure-fire method to save parents hundreds of thousands of dollars with virtually no effort. And the good news is, it’s all completely legal.
We recorded this episode at a new-to-us place, the Wakey Monkey in downtown Saluda. It’s a quaint coffee and food café that is a hustling and bustling beehive of activity. We were pleased that the owner, Matt Noller, took a few minutes out of his day to join us on the show. Check them out on Facebook, but better yet…stop in for a visit. You can thank us later.
In the midst of all this, we get a history lesson from Gary teaching you some of the reasons that taverns can be dangerous places.
And if that’s not enough, you’ll hear the very first announcement of the new Botanical Gardens coming to our beloved Rabbit Island Resort.
Happy Listening.
Gary and Mark with Matt Noller, owner of Saluda's Wakey Monkey Coffee Cafe.

Cat Abuse of the Elderly and other musings from Watershed
Sunday Mar 01, 2020
Sunday Mar 01, 2020
Gary brings up a shocking situation in the last few minutes of this episode – cat abuse of the elderly. It’s actually bullying from what we consider to be our feline friends. It’s a real thing and the Gary and Mark Show has the three behavioral signs of cat bullying! Learn them and be alert.
But before we got into cat bullying, we had a guest on the show, Dr. James Moore from Arizona State University. While James is planning on staying firmly planted in the state of no daylight savings time…he has agreed to take on a position with the Gary and Mark Podcasting University. James will be in charge of our new Aluminum Man Triathlon team. It’s the perfect solution for us older folks who might not be able to swim, run, and bike like we used to.
You can learn more about the Aluminum Math Triathlon program at: www.thealuminumnation.com. Yes, it’s a real thing and the Gary and Mark Podcasting University Athletic Department plans to sponsor our first triathlon soon. We’re waiting for the grounds people at Rabbit Island Resort to finish up our facilities.
And as usual, we have some shout outs…though one listener shouted out at us asking if we had our 501c3 “non-profit” status. We’ve tried to explain to this person that we are as non-profit as one can get!
Happy Listening.
Dr. James Moore, the latest hire at the Gary & Mark
Podcasting University.

We’re putting the “continents” back in incontinence! The Gary and Mark Show doesn’t just rest when we’re climbing to the top. We’re always coming up with new businesses to help support the show, and Gary’s idea for “Security Pants” is bound to be a winner! Listen in to get on the ground floor.
We also have some more news about our upcoming movie production of Pam Stone’s novel, “Girls Like Her.”

Just like the water - we're all headed downhill.
Saturday Feb 01, 2020
Saturday Feb 01, 2020
Almost the entire faculty and administration of the Gary and Mark Podcasting University spent a pleasant half day in a team building trek to Drip Falls. Originally the activity was to take place at the luxurious Rabbit Island Resort, but after much thought and deliberation it was determined that a faculty retreat in a spa-like setting would send the wrong message to our student(s) and their parents.
After a grueling two miles in which we had to walk both ways, with much discussion we reflected upon the waterfall we’d seen and how much gravity has to do with just about everything we do.
Just like the water, we’re all headed downhill.
For us the big treat was lunch at Green River Barbecue in Saluda where we were surprised to learn that Wednesday is FREE DESSERT DAY!
Check out Green River Barbecue at: https://greenriverbbq.com. Better yet, go there and have some fantastic bbq, beer, and dessert. Tell them Gary and Mark sent you!

Returning to our roots and all the news from Watershed
Wednesday Jan 15, 2020

We decided to record this episode at the special place where we met 49 years ago this summer. So, without asking permission, the duo assembled their gear on the tower that has stood as a symbol of Camp Mondamin for going on 99 years. Some of the episode is about camp but in their usual rambling style…Gary and Mark have a lot else on their minds. Gary has a new idea for an item to patent to help old folks and Mark has a scheme involving raising money for orphans (namely Gary and Mark). Luckily the podcast now has official legal counsel and they might just need it. And listeners should note that we were within a five-minute canoe ride to Rabbit Island, home of Rabbit Island Resort – one of our major sponsors.
Find out more about Camp Mondamin at: www.mondamin.com.
Here's Gary and Mark at Camp Mondamin with the tower. That's Lake Summit and out there a bit is Rabbit Island Resort.

New Year, New Season, and then there's a certain magazine
Wednesday Jan 01, 2020
Wednesday Jan 01, 2020
Gary and Mark welcome 2020 with an easy-going chat about a few topics. They do “think” about some New Year’s resolutions, but that doesn’t seem to be a top priority. Then Gary brings up a certain magazine and an ad inside that’s sure to turn heads and get tongues wagging down on the corner with the old geezers (and young ones) in Watershed. For a few minutes we were afraid our “G” rating might be in jeopardy, but Gary has a way of turning things around.
Welcome to season two of “The Gary and Mark Show” and here’s to lots of fun times ahead. Cheers!
