S2 Ep. 14: Bucks invent sleep aid, NCAA mens tourney and Sir Charles, Franchise opps., Biking or Cycling, What's a female listener?
Del is still stuck in South Carolina and still unable to find a new studio. He vows to come back and do face-to-face episodes again, not exactly a plus for Dave's eyes.
The Bucks inadvertently invent a cure for insomnia as more and more listeners report we put them to sleep. While this was not our initial goal, we are happy to provide this public service. We must be saving the good stuff for the end.
Speaking of sleep deprivation, Dave laments building his annual sleep debt watching the NCAA Mens Basketball Tournament, the best sports event on TV. He particularly enjoys Commentator and ex-player Charles Barkley, the straightest in-your-face, back-to-basics purveyor of basketball theory and practice. The Bucks reminisce on their own playing days in high school and how the only thing that prevented them from being superstars was height, speed, jumping ability, ball handling, good vision, and talent. OK, it was more than one thing.
And Dave picks Gonzaga.
Del expounds upon global franchising opportunities for the Two Old Bucks concept. Dave doesn't know what a stoat is but he calls Del a bloke, which may or may not be a compliment.
Bucks go down the rabbit hole on biking vs. cycling, useful products like coffee-scented chain lube, roadie snobbishness, and a glimpse at "The Rules" of cycling. More on the latter in a future episode.
Del leads a consumer awareness symposium, a.k.a. how to screw the customer. Madison Avenue is not amused.
Letters From Afar include a question from Judith in Slovenia as to what a female listener should be called, preferring not to be called a Buck or Doe or...? This spurs a new contest. Listen for the details and send your entry to buckstwoold@gmail.com.
BUCK ALERT: Dave interviews his grandsons in the next episode.
