As is our tradition at That Don't Sound Right we look at an aspect of the Easter story from our unique perspective. Tonight Peter and Cecil talk about Pontus Pilate and his saying That Don't Sound Right. Pilate was a Roman governor over the region that included Jerusalem.

In part one of this at least two part series, the staff will explain the what and how of The Fowl Ball. I am not sure it can be described, you will just have to listen. Thank you for being part of That Don't Sound Right! #TDSR #thefowlball #wsdashbaseball #chickens

129. Give me a Sign

A listener provided the episode's topic of political campaign signs. What don't sound right about a political sign? Well, for starters do they still work in the age of the internet? Join your hosts for a discussion about the abundant political roadside signs. It is probably as political as we will ever get on the show. #TDSR #sign #campaign

128. Fast Learner

Peter and Cecil discuss things that have a very short learning curves. Solvents, springs, pocketknives, parachutes, capacitors all can lead to fast learning. If you have ever messed up with an inherently dangerous item and lived to tell the tale, tonight episode is for you. #TDSR #fast #dangerous

127. Of Course I can Land a Plane

This episode's topic comes from social media: what would most guys answer when asked if they can land a plane? What would Peter and Cecil answer? Would your answer change if you had time in a T-38 jet simulator? Who would you rather land a plane, Peter or Cecil? #T38 #pilot #airplane #TDSR

126. God Cheating Noodle

This episode Peter brings us a timely topic regarding Lent. If you are not familiar with Lent, it is the forty days leading up to Easter. Traditionally people give up something during Lent. But, what if they don't want to give something up but want to appear like they are complying? Join us tonight for some Lent work-arounds that don't sound right. #Lent #Loophole #Maultaschen #TDSR

121. Cold Shower?

Peter and Cecil are joined by Scott S. to continue the conversation started last week. If taking a cold shower don't sound right, then this is your episode.

In this special 20-minute episode, our dynamic duo takes a hilarious stroll down memory lane to revisit the most side-splitting, knee-slapping moments from their podcasting extravaganza throughout the year. From a practical joke played on Cecil to Peter's tasting of gas station lunch delicacies, this episode is a rollercoaster of laughs and light-hearted banter. #TDSR #2023 #YearInReview

118. Do You See What I See?

Welcome to our annual Christmas episode! As is our tradition at That Don't Sound Right, Peter and Cecil take a look at an aspect of the Christmas story.

117. Lock Your Doors

Peter and Cecil discuss what does not sound right about typical home security advice. The usuPeter and Cecil discuss what does not sound right about typical home security advice. The usual tips do not work if someone is intent on stealing. So, lock your doors and hide your jewelry in rice, nothing is safe. #TDSR #breakin #security

116. Is it Still Available?

Peter and Cecil are discussing the world of on-line market places. Cecil starts off with a social experiment that does not sound right. A roadside pick mantle is fetching the hefty price of ten thousand dollars. Peter is joining the podcast from Sweden as we try out new technology for remote recording. #TDSR #marketplace #ebaymotors

115. Next Window, Please

On this epsiode, Peter and Cecil are joined by their daughters to discuss Peter's issues with drive thru restaurant communication. Ordering through a weathered speaker can be frustrating and challenging. Peter thinks he may have come up with the ultimate solution. We finish with our second speed round, this time the girls are answering the questions. Thanks for listening! #TDSR #drivethrough #speedround

114. That's No Moon!

Happy Thanksgiving! We are thankful that you listen to our podcast and in this episode we reflect on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, specifically the balloons. What don't sound right? Peter was paying attention and tells us several things that don't sound right. Also, Peter and Cecil are joined by several surprise guests that are home for the holidays. Remember our merchandise when shopping for Christmas gifts! #TDSR #Macy's #parade #thanksgiving

113. Subtracting from the GDP

Peter and Cecil are back in form this week talking about something they know nothing about: Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the impact of content creators. After an emergency mail bag last week, we have put the ice controversy behind us and are focusing on how we contribute to GDP or in our case subtract from it. Content creation occupies a gray area and the Government Accounting Office is having difficult determining it's impact. We are doing our part by generating the content even if we are not adding to the economy. Thanks for listening and if you do want to help us generate income, then be sure to visit our merchandise store. #TDSR #GDP #Economy

112. Ice Storm

Peter and Cecil have called for an emergency mailbag episode after an exciting week in the Camel City Studios. First, the new Creative Center has opened! Second, we have received a real mailbag from avid listener and haberdasher David. Finally, response to last week's episode was robust and we dive into the reactions to Episode #111 - End of the Ice Age. #TDSR #Ice #IceStorm

111. End of the Ice Age

On this episode Cecil posits the question to Peter, "Do we still need ice in modern society?" Get ready to throw your phone at the wall as we take a critical look at the amount of water we freeze each day. We are also ending our experiment with ads after earning tens of cents. We appreciate the feedback we received. Thank you for listening! #TDSR #icecubes #freezing

110. Cowboy Pinball

As a follow up to last week's bull riding episode, Peter and Cecil invite Cecil's cousin, Dave, to the Camel City studio to talk about a lesser known rodeo event. You may never see this at a Professional Bull Riding event, but maybe at a State Fair, so if ever want a chance to win $100 check out this episode for some tips.

#TDSR #cowboypinball #rodeo #bullpinball

109. If you can Ride a Bull

108. Food Insecurity

Eric Aft the CEO of Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC sits down with Peter and Cecil for a serious conversation regarding food deserts and food insecurity in our area. It does not sound right that our area is one of the worst in the nation for food insecurity which leads Peter and Cecil to inquire what are the root causes and how can they be addressed. This episode is a little longer than usual, so settle in for a revealing conversation regarding food insecurity.

107. Lighten Up

Welcome to a new episode of That Don't Sound Right where tonight Peter and Cecil tackle a heavy subject. The art and science of light weight backpacking creates many TDSR moments. This topic is especially important for Peter as he packs for the Maryland section of the AT. Join us for a great conversation about how to get light.

106. All's Fair

It is fall and time for county and state fairs. What does not sound right about a fair? Peter and Cecil take up that exact question in pondering how the rides are put together and the food is cooked. That roller coaster you are riding has been taken down and put up countless times, yet we still ride it with complete faith that everyone has done their job.

105. When in Rome

Peter has a surprise topic that is taking over social media. How often do men think about the Roman Empire? Peter and Cecil take a cobblestone walk though the topic that has been forming an empire on social media. In addition we announce the Ultimate Roadside Find giveaway that will take place at the Ardmore RAH! in October. Grab your toga and join us for another great episode!
Some listener feedback from this episode:
- I wanted to let you know that you need to an edit...as a woman I never thought of the Roman Empire, but now...after your podcast...I think of it often.

104. Sea Bats

Welcome to another exciting episode of That Don't Sound Right. If not exciting, at least it is short. The That Don't Sound Right community was active this week giving us feedback on Cow Tipping and Rites of Passage. Peter and Cecil open up the virtual mailbag to give voice to your thoughts. You sent us how to fight Sea Bats, stretch paper, pray in class, follow up with company presidents and much more! We hope you enjoy episode 104 which means we have been doing this for two years! #anniversary #TDSR #cows

103. Left Handed Smoke Shifter

We dig into some of the great rites of passage, including Smoke Shifting, Snipe Hunting and the dubious sport of Cow Tipping. Of course there is a fine line between rite of passage and hazing. So, grab a left handed smoke shifter, a cold drink and join us for a lesson on why you do not grease the main bearing. We also want to say hello to all our new listeners! Thanks for listening! #TDSR #snipe #cowtipping #smokeshifter

102. The ABC's of DEF

101. Don't Rock the Boat

As a follow-up to Episode 36, "The Great Loop, Peter and Cecil revisit the world of boating. What could possibly not sound right about boating? Well, owners who do not know how to tow, back, dock, tie off, maintain or pull a boat out of the water just for starters. As the saying goes the two best days of a boat owners life are the day they buy their boat and the day they sell it. The same could be said for project cars, but that is another podcast. As always, thank you for listening! #boats #tdsr

100. Ducks in a Row

So what is up with rubber ducks and Jeeps? Join Peter and Cecil as they pontificate on why rubber ducks and Jeep culture has collided. This is our 100 hundredth episode, and all of you who have listened deserve a memento like a rubber duck on a Jeep. We apologize for the background noise in this episode, we will try and get that corrected. We hope you enjoy the episode! #TheJeepMafia #duckduckjeep #jeepducks #tdsr
Some listener feedback from this episode:
- I drive a 2008 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited. I have received two ducks, and never given one, apparently this started only a couple of years ago. I do notice that the newer Jeeps (the ones with more color) seem to usually be the ones with several ducks lined up along their windshields. Maybe mine is too old and ugly (which is fine for me!)
- The universally known wave of Jeep owners is both arms straight up and then back and forth over the head. Sort of a frantic half jumping jack. Usually while standing beside the spotless vehicle. On the side of a paved road.

99. Haint Blue

Peter and Cecil welcome listener number one back into the studio for a wide ranging conversation tonight. Peter kicks us off with haint blue and its modern uses. But, some how we end up discussing the various clubs that are available in the Triad. Join us for a great time talking about things that don't sound right. #haint #blue #wasp #tdsr.

98. Harness the Hen

Peter and Cecil welcome Listener #1, Scott, back to Camel City Studios to share his expertise on chickens. Tonight's episode comes from an industrious young lady that created a marketing campaign for the Hen Harness. But, before we can get into this revolutionary product, Scott gives us the details of his hobby of beekeeping. Welcome to the conversation, and tonight's is wide ranging, from capturing the queen to training your chicken to ride a bike! #henharness #walkyourchicken #TDSR

97. Pick a Lane

Peter describes the day, Dagen H, that Sweden moved from driving on the left side of the road to driving on the right side of the road. Peter and Cecil discuss the origins of which side of the road we drive on in America. What does not sound right is Sweden switched in one day, after a four hour pause. Join us for a great topic. #DagenH #righthanddrive #TDSR

96. Noodling

Peter and Cecil discuss the mesmerizing technique of "noodling" - an age-old and adrenaline-pumping fishing method that is as daring as it is unique. Forget rods and reels, because noodling, or hillbilly hand-fishing, requires nothing more than bare hands, courage, a keen understanding of the waters, and a willingness to grab a snapping turtle. #noodling #alone #tdsr #snappingturtles
Some listener feedback from this episode:
-You imparted 2 pieces of (alleged) knowledge that has changed my mind. First is the existence of a chain mail noodling glove. That such a thing even exists makes me feel proud to be an American. I believe the noodling glove would embolden me to reach deep into the mud without paralyzing fear. The other game-changer is learning that catfish whiskers don't sting. I was told this a youngster, and never doubted it. Knowing it has sharp pointy parts is less freighting than thinking they could somehow inject venom with their whiskers. (Something I have believed for several decades, that now suddenly seems absurd.) There is only one thing that still gives me pause. The number of days I have gone fishing is well over twice the number of days I have caught fish. To think I could spend a few hours reaching into the mire and still go home empty handed, (or even missing a digit or two if Cecil is right about the snapping turtles,) makes me wonder if this would be worth it. I would like a follow up discussion on whether you think the success rate of noodling is higher or lower than using a fishing pole.

95. You are not Funny

It don't sound right but one of our hosts has tried stand up comedy. Join us as Peter and Cecil reveal who has been on stage trying make people laugh. Stay until the end to hear why the podcast is a creative outlet for both of them. Thank you all for pushing us past 10K downloads, it has been a great couple of weeks! #openmic #notfunny #TDSR

94. Tobacco Jenga

The That Don't Sound Right staff clarifies exactly where and how Cecil grew up in North Carolina. Then, Cecil tells Peter about the lost art of tobacco stick houses. Peter does not think that building play structures for kids out of thin pieces of wood sounds right. However, these teetering towers filled with cousins provided endless hours of adventure. The higher they were built the more adventure they provided. Once in, there is no easy way out, kinda like a TDSR episode! #tobaccostick #TDSR

93. Hay Day!

Happy Fourth of July! In this episode Peter and Cecil welcome Emily and Ella back into the studio for a topic of their choosing. They have a lot to say about Hay Day. It has been around for awhile but this enduring mobile game is still eating up valuable time. Peter and Cecil are no strangers to playing video games, so there is no judgement. Join us as we head out to the virtual farm to fill some boat orders! #hayday #TDSR
Some listener feedback from this episode:
- I’ve still got these! (Driver & Half-Life)

92. Government Cheese

Back by popular demand, Emily and Ella are in the Camel City Studio and ready to talk about Government Cheese. The mysterious cheese caves of Missouri are our topic and we learn about what else is being stored underground. In addition, they catch us up on their freshman year and things That Don't Sound Right. #cheesecaves #governmentcheese #whomovedmycheese
Some listener feedback from this episode:
- Quite a while back I heard a podcast on government cheese. From my memory, I think Peter's description of the cheese might not be entirely accurate. I believe they had fairly high standards for the cheese quality that they demanded from the cheesemakers they contracted. It was a hard cheese and I thought it was more akin to cheddar. There developed a sub culture of sorts and government cheese is remembered very fondly by folks who grew up eating it. I'm tempted to look it up, but I won't.

91. Hot Toothpicks

Middle school economies are the topic tonight! Cecil springs the underground commodity of hot toothpicks on Peter. Was it just a West Cary, NC phenomenon or did others trade in the hidden realms of hot toothpicks? Also, Peter gives his best fatherly advice in Words of Wisdom. #Hottoothpicks #TDSR #cinnamon #fathersday
Some listener feedback from this episode:
- I was in Junior High in SE Pennsylvania from 1987-1989. I do recall kids having and distributing flavored toothpicks around this time. They were mostly mint flavored, but some were hot cinnamon. They were packaged in cellophane, so they were not "home made" with cassia oil as far as I know.

90. Gold Nuggets

Peter thinks That Cecil buying a small bag of dirt from Georgia Don't Sound Right. We are talking gold, buying dirt and striking it rich. North Carolina is gold country and shiny flakes twinkle in the bottom of every mountain stream. But, figuring out how to get that gold can be hard work. If nothing else, at least we find something to talk about.
#TDSR #nuggets #gold

89. It's Alimentary

We had a big response to Episode 87, Lunch Arsenal and in response, Peter and Cecil follow up to listener comments on the best gas station lunch. David, a new and avid listener sends the TDSR crew a care package of lunch items specifically to further Peter's education on what is best for a working man's lunch. We also learn a new word! Join us for a great episode and thank you for all the comments. A special thanks to David for supplying lunch today for the crew in the studio! #viennasausage #sardines #honeybun #TDSR

88. Memorial Day Mailbag

We have put together a perfect podcast for this long weekend. Peter and Cecil open up the mailbag and read your comments and questions. You have been busy sending in mail and we have comments on gators, aspic, the USPS and lots of response to the "That Don't Taste Right" episode (#79). If you are headed to the beach or relaxing in the backyard, this is a great time to get caught up with the TDSR family. #Memorialday #TDSR #mailbag

87. Lunch Arsenal

This episode covers the favorite and re-occurring topic of food, specifically lunch food on the go. Cecil has some ideas of what makes the best and most shelf stable lunch if you are without refrigeration and only have the snack arsenal of a gas station. Peter takes great exception to saltines, sardines, Vienna sausages and hot sauce, offering that there has to be an alternative. Be sure to send us your best gas station picks for lunch on the road. #viennasausages #sardines #gasstationfood
Some listener feedback from this episode:
- I know I’m listening to the right podcast when the more bougie of the two hosts lunches on beef jerky and dried pineapple.

86. Digging Up the Past

What will the future think when it digs up our podcast? Tonight Peter and Cecil speculate on what happens when future archeologists dig up our time. Specifically, what will they think was going on at Buc-ees? Join us for our conversation and be sure to email your guesses. #RoadTrip #Bucees #Romanbath

85. Define: That Don't Sound Right

Peter and Cecil are back in the Camel City Studio annex with our Merch Tester Giorgio, who had the novel idea to ask AI to define what makes something not sound right. AI gave a great answer and we are ready to discuss in depth. Join us to determine if Artificial Intelligence can figure out what does not sound right as well as we can at That Don't Sound Right. #AI #ChatGPT

84. Signed, Sealed, Arrested

This week Peter and Cecil welcome Giorgio, our merchandise tester, to the Camel City Studio. Giorgio recounts the harrowing tale of being questioned in the post office for a TDSR shirt selfie. Who knew listening to TDSR was edgy? As unusual as the confrontation was, the conversation moves on to whether the USPS is a federal agency. Tune in for an episode that is guaranteed to having you shouting the answer at your device! #USPS #PostalInspector

83. Missed it by a Mile (Part 2)

The much anticipated Missed It By a Mile - Part 2 is here! If you have not listened to Part 1, Episode 82, we highly encourage you to listen to that first. Tonight is the dramatic reveal of the Rookie Lap Leader April Fool's Joke that took place at this year's The Country Mile ultra marathon. Peter adds his contributions to the reveal and Scott finally gets to hear the end of the story. Thank you to all the new listeners that tuned in this week and we hope you enjoy the second part of Missed It By A Mile! #countrymile

82. Missed it by a Mile (Part 1)

We have a special two part series starting this week on Ultra Marathons. Listener Number One (Scott!) joins the TDSR crew to discuss running long distances. The talk turns to a particular race, The Country Mile, held at Beechwood Farms in Marietta, SC. This year Cecil wins the Rookie Lap Leader Award, just after midnight on April 1st and his brother is there to help celebrate. Long time listeners will enjoy putting the puzzle together and new listeners will love being invited into the fun. In the spirit of a marathon this also clocks in as our longest episode ever. So, walk the dog an extra lap or take the scenic route to work, we guarantee this will keep your attention or your money back. #ultramarathons #TDSR #running #aprilfools

81. Doubting Thomas Joins the Club

In keeping with our holiday tradition we look at a biblical figure that is dealing with something that don't sound right. Peter and Cecil discuss the story of Doubting Thomas and his struggle to believe that Jesus had risen from the dead. As Peter and Cecil recount the story, they sympathize with Thomas and wonder where he was the first time Jesus appeared to his disciples and Cecil recounts a time when he thought Jesus had returned. So join us for this thought-provoking episode of "That Don't Sound Right," as we explore the story of Doubting Thomas and the powerful message it holds for us today.

80. Blinker Fluid

Ever hear something from an auto mechanic that made you say "That Don't Sound Right?" Peter and Cecil share their own personal experiences with shady car repair practices, as well as tips and advice on how to avoid falling victim to these scams. It may not sound right, but unneeded repairs can happen. Whether you're a seasoned driver or a new car owner, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to avoid getting ripped off by unscrupulous repair shops. #blinkerfluid #carrepairscam

79. That Don't Taste Right

In this episode, Peter and Cecil put their taste buds to the test as they blind taste some popular snacks that have gone too far in trying to be innovative. The time honored favorites have rolled out new flavors and while they may sound like a good idea in theory, do they actually taste good? Along the way, they'll also discuss the trend of food companies trying to push the boundaries with their products and ask the question: is it innovation or just plain weirdness? #peeps #Reeses
Some listener feedback from this episode:
- Loved the episode and laughed out loud a few times. There are many more oddities that snack companies took to far but you asked for any success stories. Starburst Jelly Beans. It is the only jelly bean we buy now around Easter. I don’t even think you can find those old flavored jelly beans with the mint, licorice, cherry flavors anymore. I guess Harry Potter listened to you as well when then showcased Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans – that don’t taste right.

78. Just How Lost?

Peter and Cecil recount their experiences of getting lost while leading youth hikes in two different areas: Linville Gorge and the Black Mountain Range. Throughout the episode, Peter and Cecil discuss the lessons they learned from their experiences, including the importance of always bringing a map and compass, paying attention to trail markers, and being prepared for unexpected situations. #LostHiker

73. Trust Me, I'm a Prince

This week's discussion takes a humorous turn as Peter, Cecil, and Listener #1 (Scott!) examine the Nigerian Prince that wants to transfer money to you in an email scam. They start with the various tactics used by scammers to trick their victims and end up talking about reading the newspaper. It's a wild ride filled with laughter and unexpected tangents. #NigerianPrince #EmailScam

72. Spankin' Gators

We welcome listener #1, Scott, back to the Camel City Studios in a follow up to episode sixty-seven, "Wild New Year". The trio debate the brave conclusion that spanking an alligator is the best course of action in an encounter with one. But that's not all, they bring along a companion story about the dangers of distracting a water moccasin. Tune in for questionable knowledge as they separate fact from fiction. #Alligators #Snakes

With a nod to "High School Musical," this podcast is the ultimate inside look at what happens when you trust a drama teacher. #showchoir #carync

70. Hold the Mayo

Peter and Cecil explore the strange world of casseroles and congealed salads from southern church cookbooks. These vintage recipes will have you questioning everything you thought you knew about salads...and the universe. From Jell-O salads with canned meat to tomato-filled aspic, these dishes are a true test of culinary bravery. #Aspic #casserole

69. Wildlife Redux

In our New Year's Eve episode on wildlife, we discussed the curious behavior of squirrels hiding nuts for the winter.
