Welcome to the The First Ones an Our POoRCHoices podcast.  On this series Sarcastro picks a show from yesteryear and then rallies some (or all) of the fellas to join him in recapping just the first episode of said show while dissecting it and determining if it's a show that would fly in today's entertainment landscape. In episode three of The First Ones, Sarcastro is joined by Fatty and Banky to discuss the first episode of All in the Family, starring Carrol O'Connor, Jean Stapleton, Sallie Struthers and Rob Reiner.  It's the story of a New York City family locking horns on societal and political views on how the world should work and how we should treat each other as a society which feels like it's holding a mirror up even today to make us look at ourselves and makes the fellas realize how much of the old ways of thinking are still present over 50 years later. Intro and outro interpreted and performed by Sarcastro.

This week Corporal returns and the whole gang talks about the voices (or lack thereof) they have in their heads when they do various tasks like read books, read emails, do basic math problems, or just while doing random activities.  That topic shifts into several other discussions including what movies based on books failed to make the same impact as the books for them. In the line up of poor choices for the week, Corporal finally uses a birthday present he was gifted a year ago, Commando and Fatty have a joint poor choice in not planning ahead for food and Banky ponders taking on a lighting rewire job at home. Intro and Outro music written and performed by Andrés Rodríguez (Androzguitar).

This week the fellas discuss that so often there are two types of people in a relationship, those who believe that showing up on time means you're already late and those who don't give a damn about time.   In the realm of poor choices for the week, Commando is second guessing his recent pop-up tent purchase for which Sarcastro offers an alternative use for to make it not a poor choice.  Sarcastro makes a poor choice in taking a short cut for a dinner recipe and Fatty learns that no good deed goes unpunished.  Intro and Outro music written and performed by Andrés Rodríguez (Androzguitar).
