Social Distancing - Gary and Mark are taking this seriously

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.

How Parents Can Save $200,000 with Gary and Mark - plus the Wakey Monkey and other show shenanigans.

Sunday Mar 15, 2020

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.

Cat Abuse of the Elderly and other musings from Watershed

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

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

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!

Two Guests, Two Beers, Lots of Fun in 25 Minutes

Two Guests, Two Beers, Lots of Fun in 25 Minutes

Gary and Mark celebrate the end of season one at Southern Appalachian Brewery in Hendersonville. As always, they had a bunch of things on their minds. But before they got too far in their thoughts a visitor walked over to see what the duo was up to. And when that happens, we see the opportunity for a guest. Of course, we’re taking a gamble, but this was a lucky day as Captain Jim Lombardo was a willing participant in our show and fun to chat with. He runs a sportfishing charter boat company out of South Florida and we learned a bit about that.

And then we made our first phone call on our recording gear to check in with an old friend up in Maryland. Chris is newly moved into an assisted living facility and we wanted to see how that’s going. We mentioned that he might want to move down to Watershed and try out the brand-new assisted living facility that’s opening soon down our way. The new place in Watershed is called “Trails End” and we’re sure we’ll do some future shows from there once people start moving in.

Thanks for a great first season. We’ll look forward to being back with you the first of the year.

This episode recorded at Southern Appalachian Brewery in Hendersonville, NC.

Exciting News from Watershed - bowl games, whistleblower, our new movie studio

Sunday Dec 01, 2019

Exciting News from Watershed – bowl games, a whistleblower and a possible admission scandal, and our new movie studio in conjunction with Pam Stone (maybe).

Gary and Mark are back in top form after a round of episodes with “real” guests. In this episode we bring you up to date on several happenings in our home of Watershed, North Carolina.

We lament on our Gary & Mark Podcasting University football team not yet getting a bowl bid. We talk about a possible whistleblower who’s trying to get us embroiled in an admissions scandal. And we discuss the possibility of starting our own movie studio and our hopes of negotiating a deal with Pam Stone to make a movie of her book, Girls Like Her.

Sit back and enjoy the latest happenings Gary and Mark have stirred up.

Pam Stone - TV star, stand-up comedian, and author puts up with Gary & Mark

Thursday Nov 21, 2019

Pam Stone was our most recent guest and she had us in stitches with some of her life stories. We’re sure you’ll be laughing along with us.

If you don’t know Pam, you’re missing out. She is probably best known for playing Coach Judy Watkins on the ABC sitcom “Coach” for seven seasons with Craig T. Nelson. But that’s just the start. She’s an award-winning stand-up comedian (even opened for Jay Leno for weeks at a time), a book author, syndicated newspaper columnist, and a radio personality.

In this episode we talk about it all.

Learn more about Pam at: www.comedianpamstone.com

Thanks to a mutual friend, Sharon Clark Maxwell, for convincing Pam to be in our company.
