Stokes County Boys

Episode 11 in which Good Friend Brian and Philip share our experiences travelling to Spain and why it should be Patrick's next international travel destination. It won't be easy given Patrick's admitted "toddler diet", intermediate Spanish skills, and his preference as a homebody. Will Patrick book a flight to Barcelona for 2022? Check it out! In our first segment we discuss Brian's hometown (and Patrick's current place of residence) Durham, NC! Best little city in our opinion.

Episode 10 in which Good Friend Zach states his case for one of his guys, the band Oasis. Good Friend AJ joins skeptics Philip and Patrick as we listen to Zach make the case that Oasis and their snarling 90s Alternative Brit Rock is worth our music-loving ears. 

This is a very special episode in which Philip does a bad job explaining to co-host and guests the goal of the episode and an entertaining hot mess of a conversation ensues. 

In our first segment, Zach talks about his hometown (Williamsport, PA) and Patrick follows up on a question from episode 1!
