Sarcastro nearly makes a poor choice but is saved by Queen Sarcastro.  Corporal's preparring to make a good poor choice with a pending purchase.  Fatty makes a poor choice in thinking he can burn the candle at both ends between work. play and family obligations on limited sleep and Banky's body reminds him he's been making too many poor choices.   Intro and Outro music written and performed by Andrés Rodríguez (Androzguitar).

This week the fellas get together to talk about an artcile Commando shared about Aeros and their grand plans to start to use airships as floating distribution centers with drones making the final step delivery.  They debate if this makes sense and if it's feasible to run in various markets.  This leads to Sarcastro pointing out they the only jobs the job openings they have on their website are for interns to basically prove that this model would work which then ends up having Fatty point out that he's not buying into it as they don't even have an actual airship to do this with that they've proven this would work. 

Banky and Fatty share their experience (or rather Banky's inexperience) at an indoor shooting range over the weekend.  Commando points out that the current ongoing poor choice is the hobby of getting into going to shooting ranges is how much money it's collectively costing.

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 five of The First Ones, Sarcastro is joined by Fatty and Banky to discuss the first episode of Newhart from 1982, starring Bob Newhart playing a do-it-yourself author named Dick Louden who moves from the big city to a quaint Vermont town to restore the historic Stratford Inn with his wife Joanna (played by Mary Frann) and they meet a cast of characters that have a certain charm or lack thereof (yeah, we're talking about the annoying character Kirk Devane).  Ringing through with true Bob Newhart comedy and the phone call bit, is it enough to get everyone to watch more episodes of the show?  Could it be remade today and if so, who would could fill Bob Newhart's shoes as an out of his element author turned inn keeper?   Intro and outro interpreted and performed Sarcastro.

This week before getting into the subject of weird science expirements that researchers have done like shooting manhole covers into space and teach rats to drive cars for cereal from articles provided by Corporal and Sarcastro, the whole gang talks about Fatty and Banky's upcoming field trip to a gun show where they'll certainly stick out like sore thumbs.  While they try to convince Commando to join them for the event Sarcastro suggests coming up with a scavenger hunt for them to complete.  Intro and Outro music written and performed by Andrés Rodríguez (Androzguitar).

This week Sarcastro, Fatty and Banky discuss an article Sarcastro found regarding a surgery gone wrong in Florida where a man's liver was removed instead of his spleen leading to his death.  This turns the conversation to other times where doctors have made mistakes on removing the wrong part of the body during surgery.  Fatty and Sarcastro talk about their experiences with surgeries for their vasectomies and how Fatty had to do it twice.   For poor choices this week Sarcastro tries to hang bird feeders to add a relaxing atmosphere to the back yard to have it backfire on him. Banky thought he could lift a wood stove like he was still in his early 20's and tweaked his back and learned to appreciate the over the counter version of hillbilly pain relief.  Meanwhile, Fatty made a choice so poor, it couldn't be discussed on air.     Intro and Outro music written and performed by Andrés Rodríguez (Androzguitar).

This week the whole gang gets together to talk about hangovers and their various remedies for them in their younger years and what they do today, But before they get to that Corporal and Banky talk about making some second amendment purchases and Banky joining a sportsmans club.  Later in the show they discuss their more frivoulous Black Friday purchases for this year and some of those prove to be good choices.  Intro and Outro music written and performed by Andrés Rodríguez (Androzguitar).

This week Fatty and Banky kick off the show talking about using smart assistants for their homes, a terrible choice in a beer and Fatty's lousy eye insurance.  After that they discuss a treasure hunting book by Jon Collins-Black that leads to five different chests hidden around the continental United States and their desire to try to solve the clues in the book, and what the POoRCHoices version of something like this would look like.   Intro and Outro music written and performed by Andrés Rodríguez (Androzguitar).
