A Podcast About Talking...
…talking the way we did before the internet. When you could not prove anyone right or wrong. All the expertise was contained in the people involved with the conversation. We hope you enjoy our conversations and as you listen, if you find yourself silently saying ”that don‘t sound right”, send us a comment. You’re one of us.

252. Should You Store Cheap Fuel?
What if you could save money by buying fuel when prices are low and storing it for later? Is investing in a slip tank actually a smart idea—or just another project that sounds better in theory than in practice? In this episode, Peter and Cecil fuel up for a conversation about slip tanks, pickup transfer tanks, farm fuel storage, and even the massive milk tankers and fuel trailers that spark every tinker's imagination. They crunch the numbers on whether stockpiling gasoline or diesel really saves money, discuss the challenges of ethanol-blended gasoline, fuel stabilizers, shelf life, and why diesel often makes more sense for long-term storage. Whether you're a gearhead, homesteader, prepper, truck enthusiast, or just someone who keeps an eye on gas prices, this episode is full of practical insights, back-of-the-shop wisdom, and plenty of laughs. Because owning your own fuel depot might sound like a great idea... until the neighbors start asking questions.

251. The World's Deadliest Motorcycle Race Is on a Tiny Island
156 riders have died... and every year they still come back to race. Why does one tiny island host the world's most dangerous motorcycle race? Peter and Cecil dive into the legendary Isle of Man TT without Googling a single fact, just talking the way we did before the internet. In this episode: Why the Isle of Man TT is unlike any other race | Racing 200 mph on public roads | Why thousands of fans travel to a tiny island | Sidecar racing?!
250. What Wins a Ribbon? Judging Hay, Gourds, and Lego at the County Fair
Peter and Cecil take a nostalgic trip through one of America's most beloved traditions—the county fair. From prize-winning hay bales and giant gourds to elaborate LEGO creations, decorated vegetables, homemade crafts, baked goods, and collections you never knew people judged, they explore the wonderfully quirky competitions that make local fairs so memorable. Why do people spend months growing the perfect pumpkin, arranging vegetables into works of art, or carefully displaying lifelong collections? Peter and Cecil celebrate the creativity, community, friendly competition, and simple joy that make county fairs a cherished part of small-town life. #tdsrpodcast #ThatDontSoundRight #CountyFair #StateFair #BlueRibbon #SmallTownAmerica #Agriculture #FairSeason #Nostalgia #Community #LEGO #Homemade #CountryLife #FarmLife #Americana #LocalTraditions #FunnelCake #SmallTownStories
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!
