Using a Hybrid Car as a Home Generator?
Peter and Cecil break down a surprisingly practical question: can a plug-in hybrid vehicle like the Toyota RAV4 Prime be used as a temporary home power source during a power outage? The conversation covers how DC power from a car battery is converted to AC using an inverter, what inverter wattage really means, realistic run-time limits, and which household items you can (and can’t) safely power. Along the way, they share real-world experiences preparing for storms and blackouts while keeping things informative and entertaining. The hosts also issue a serious warning about the dangers of backfeeding your home’s electrical system, and explain safer alternatives like transfer switches, properly installed inverters, and certified whole-house generators. It’s a practical, no-nonsense discussion about emergency power, hybrid vehicles, and electrical safety — delivered the old-school way: through conversation, curiosity, and common sense. #TDSRpodcast #ThatDontSoundRight #Podcast #PowerOutagePrep #EmergencyPower #HybridVehicle #RAV4Prime
The Stainless Steel Tumbler Craze
Stainless steel cups are everywhere—and we think it’s gotten out of hand. In this episode of That Don’t Sound Right, Peter and Cecil dig into the modern cup craze: Stanley mugs, Yeti tumblers, Hydro Flasks, and the strange status culture built around them. They talk about double-wall construction, heat retention, recycling myths, environmental tradeoffs, and why future archaeologists may be very confused by us. Along the way, they reminisce about Styrofoam cups, aluminum canteens, Trapper Keepers, and other “must-have” trends that once felt permanent—but weren’t. Are stainless steel cups here to stay… or just another fad? And what’s your go-to cup right now? #TDSRpodcast #ThatDontSoundRight #Podcast #OutdoorPodcast #Backpacking #CampingGear #SoloStove #DIYStove #SmokelessFire #BackpackingStove #GearTalk #Almanac #NoFactChecking
Flames, Cans, and That Don’t Sound Right: PepsiG vs Solo
In this episode, the guys riff on almanacs, quirky backpacking gadgets, and hands-on stove experiments before diving into the main topic: Solo smokeless stoves. From full-size backyard fire rings to DIY “Pepsi-G” alcohol backpacking stoves, they break down how double-wall designs work, why added airflow burns off smoke, and what they learned by actually building and using these stoves themselves. It’s a mix of practical tinkering, outdoor curiosity, and the kind of discussion that may not be fully researched—but definitely sounds right. #TDSRpodcast #ThatDontSoundRight #Podcast #OutdoorPodcast #Backpacking #CampingGear #SoloStove #DIYStove #SmokelessFire #BackpackingStove
Meet Your Hosts
Cecil Davis
Born and raised in the small backwater town of Cary, NC, Cecil has risen to become one of the most successful podcasters on his cul-de-sac. After years of telling stories to employees that were trapped by the confines of the office, he has found a new outlet for his knowledge on an endless array of subjects. Finding a kindred spirit in Peter, the two have set out on a quest to rediscover the finer points of dorm room conversations. A pharmacist by trade, and a hobbyist at heart there is always something new to try or talk about.
Peter Beilman
Peter is a jack-of-all-trades and a master of fun! When he’s not co-hosting the podcast “That Don’t Sound Right,” he’s likely to be found camping, fishing, or backpacking in the great outdoors. And when he’s not exploring the wild, he’s busy restoring his (t)rusty 1972 International Scout (which, in a stroke of serendipity, was his first car and his dad’s brand new ride back in the day).
But don’t let his love of the great outdoors fool you – Peter’s also a degreed engineer with a license to drive a tractor-trailer. Talk about a versatile guy!
When he’s not busy being a podcast star, engineer, and outdoorsman, Peter can be found at home with his lovely wife and three amazing kids. So if you’re looking for a guy who can fix your car, plan your next camping trip, and make you laugh, Peter’s your man!
