About
Follow the podcasting adventures of two grown men as they balance family, responsibilities, and way too many hobbies. From two of the hosts of The Squadron Of Shame's "SquadCast", join Chris Whittington & Jeff Parsons as they widen their focus to broadcast about their many interests while juggling parenthood and full-time careers.
On the show, we discuss video games, music, movies, comics, and whatever else is on our minds at the moment. Each episode wraps up with a quick beer segment as we recommend some great new brews for you to try.

Too Old For This...Malfeasance
In this episode, the lads drop a lot of big words to make them sound all important and stuff. Listen in as they dive into their first “listener-submitted” top 3 list, spend a whole lot of time griping about young rich guys making some stupid decisions just like old rich guys do, and throw a couple of stout recommendations over the fence.

Too Old For This...Smorgasbord
Jeff and Chris decide to forego a focused approach and just cover a mess of stray topics. The “incredibly specific top 3″ list was submitted by friend of the show, MJ Pilon, and gets the significant others involved. They present an extended beer segment where Jeff tells us all about his experience at the Philly Beer Week. Finally, the lads send you off with a new one from Axel Rose’s former BFF, Slash.

Too Old For This...Sogginess
Jeff and Chris spend their Father’s Day walking uphill in the snow both ways to make another show…so you better appreciate it! This week, they cover their ”top 3 cheeseburgers they didn’t make or order from a national chain”, the Apple keynote, Chris’s 1st (of 500, or so Jeff hopes) “graphic novels for grown ass adults” review featuring “The Sign of the Four”, and Jeff takes a trip down memory lane during the Yardley Beer Fest.

Too Old For This...Festival
With Jeff out this week, the guys decide to mash together some form of Frankenstein-like episode to keep the listeners from revolting. Topics covered: Sweet Tooth by Jeff Lemire, Orion Music Festival, and the guys want to know what and who you’d like to hear on the show.

Despite being friends with both Chris and Jeff, I think this new project has quite wide appeal for the late twenties and thirty-somethings, as gears are changed in order to accommodate for families, work and still rolling with those youthful interests despite moving towards middle age. It'd be great to see what folks think.
Chris "RocGaude" Whittington is actually a GAFfer of old, so the Squadron of Shame fans would know his style.
Throw down any thoughts, views, comments etc., feedback would be greatly appreciated.
