  • Episode 403; Things we no longer do thanks to our mobile devices.
    2023/08/12
    Do you have ANY phone numbers actually memorized? Have you ever used a phone book OR do you even know what one is? Is telling time by looking at the hands on a clock becoming a lost skill? Have you ever made a call from a phone booth? There was actually a time when it was important to carry enough change with you to make a phone call, should you the need arrise. Why do some people carry? Because Law enforcement likely won't be around when you need them Let's have some fun!!!! Try playing an old game from your childhood. Whether it’s a board game like Clue or a video game, playing a childhood favorite game will not only kill some time but also bring back some serious childhood nostalgia. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theoldmanspodcast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theoldmanspodcast/support

  • Episode 402; Stop putting things off, remembering going out and let's have some fun!
    2023/07/24
    On my mind this episode is the simple question of “If not now, then when”. There's an I remember when segment that came about from my trip to the movies to see the new Mission Impossible. We play some sports trivia and I have a story that helps explain to those who don't carry why some of us do carry. And finally, lets talk about having some fun…. If not now, then when? One of life's most important questions. It is a topic I have discussed many times and in many forms on this podcast. Always the same general observations. Why do we wait…, procrastinate…., delay, why is our timing so bad…..……. When will we make that move, do that thing, tackle that challenge? I'm Coach Streb and on this episode of my Old Man's Podcast I will discuss the “when’s” in our life and encourage us to pursue the things that matter to us now. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theoldmanspodcast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theoldmanspodcast/support

  • Episode 401; Anniversaries, serendipity and having fun
    2023/07/09
    • This is an anniversary, three years ago, I dropped the first episode of this podcast. I quickly found connections with former athletes that I hadn’t seen or heard of for decades in some cases.  Even family members that I don’t get to see very often I knew were listening and it felt, at least virtually anyway, like we were spending time together.

    Why travel? Because travel brings something to our life we don't get much of these days, serendipity. Our over scheduled, social media driven lives cause us to miss out on those chance encounters with things and/or people. I say it’s those experiences are the ones that really make life exciting, the unexpected.

    Stupid is everywhere around you.  And stupid can be harmful to innocent people, living their daily life. I don’t know about you, but I like to try and be prepared for the bad people out in our world, because there are just to many of them and as stupid bad people, they are dangerous.

    Let's have some fun!! Take a walk- and give yourself plenty of time… HOURS of time… NO HEADPHONES and best WITHOUT YOUR PHONE.  Or at least turn it off. This should NOT be exercise, don’t count steps or time yourself….. Remind yourself to slow down. Go somewhere new, or where you haven’t been to in a while. I suggest, to make this experience work, force yourself to make 5 stops.

  • Episode 364; Mags, don't make me use the "B" word
    2023/07/02
    If you are a fan of cruise vacations, you are not alone. There are many of you out there and looking in from the outside, it almost looks like a cult. God help anyone who doesn't show the same kind of zealous support for cruising. A couple of recent Maritime tragedies has me waking up to my own skewed view of the world. This may hit home with you as well, and you also may find it kind of embarrassing. Winning and happiness are like peas in a pod. There really isn't much of a difference between achieving both. That will be the topic on "Mindset for Happiness". Comedic routines have changed quite a bit over the years. Not just the dialogue and the subject matter, but one old reliable form of comedy seems to have faded away. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theoldmanspodcast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theoldmanspodcast/support

  • Episode 363; Settle for earning a passing grade and don't fear artificial intelligence
    2023/06/25
    On this episode we play some trivia on geography, in homage to academics which are on my mind for this episode.  Why academics? Because sometimes just earning a passing grade should be good enough. While we’re on the subjects of smarts, let’s talk a bit about artificial intelligence. We're told that we should be concerned, almost afraid of AI. I'm going to make the case that most of us have gotten use to living in an AI lifestyle and you are going to be surprised to hear what that lifestyle is. My observations on baseball batting helmets is the basis for a pontificate on my part regarding children's safety through the years. On Mindset for Happiness the topic is faith. Your path to happiness, OR unhappiness, is paved by your faith. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theoldmanspodcast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theoldmanspodcast/support

  • Episode 362; Listeners road trip memories, a life of Rock-paper-scissor and how lies can hurt us.
    2023/06/18
    Featured in this episode are letters from listeners providing some funny stories that will bring a smile to your face. It would appear that the family road trip is an American tradition that dates back for generations. I'm compelled to discuss the bad impact that lying can have on us. You might be surprised to find out who this liar actually is. Rock paper scissors is a fun activity, but I find it applicable to my lifestyle as well. On our weekly "mindset for happiness" I discuss how we need to have a system in place for dealing with the day-to-day grind of life. Because, any idiot can handle a crisis, it's dealing with the day-to-day of life that's difficult to do. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theoldmanspodcast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theoldmanspodcast/support

  • Episode 361; I want to tell the story of why cruising just isn't for some people
    2023/06/11
    I know there are a LOT of fans of cruising out there. I would like to be, but I just can't get there. When you here my story of personal torment and how I survived, you may agree with me. The ports in the southern Caribbean were great, the shows and activities on board fantastic. All of the people were wonderful. My problem, was with something else.... something completely unavoidable. I'm not sure if it's repairable, but I came off this cruise a different person. I don't even look the same as I did when the ship first set sail. On this episode I also tell the story of some great states to road trip through and places to stop, as well as avoid, along the way. #alabama #huntsville #georgia #atlanta #florida #tennesee #chattanoga #nashville #kentucky And our regular episode fun activity of playing trivia, will be based on travel. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theoldmanspodcast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theoldmanspodcast/support
