What exactly is Tannerite, and how can something sold legally be both stable and explosive? On this episode of That Don’t Sound Right, hosts Peter and Cecil dig into the science and stories behind Tannerite — the popular binary reactive shooting target that only detonates when struck by high-velocity rounds.

They break down how Tannerite works, why it stays inert until properly mixed and hit under the right conditions, and what makes its explosive power so surprising. The conversation also covers real-world safety considerations, state regulations, and those viral videos where things go… well… bigger than planned.

Along the way, Peter and Cecil swap personal reactions, laugh about over-the-top gender-reveal explosions and backyard “field tests,” and invite listeners to send in their own Tannerite tales as they gear up for a future hands-on experiment.

If you’ve ever wondered about the truth behind explosive targets, internet myths, and what happens when curiosity meets chemistry, this episode delivers the facts with the fun twist you expect from TDSR.

Listen, laugh, and maybe learn why some things really don’t sound right.

That Don’t Sound Right is the podcast that brings back the way conversations used to happen — before the internet decided who was an “expert.” In this episode, hosts Peter and Cecil break down a surprisingly practical question: can a plug-in hybrid vehicle like the Toyota RAV4 Prime be used as a temporary home power source during a power outage?

The conversation covers how DC power from a car battery is converted to AC using an inverter, what inverter wattage really means, realistic run-time limits, and which household items you can (and can’t) safely power. Along the way, they share real-world experiences preparing for storms and blackouts while keeping things informative and entertaining.

The hosts also issue a serious warning about the dangers of backfeeding your home’s electrical system, and explain safer alternatives like transfer switches, properly installed inverters, and certified whole-house generators. It’s a practical, no-nonsense discussion about emergency power, hybrid vehicles, and electrical safety — delivered the old-school way: through conversation, curiosity, and common sense.

Welcome to That Don’t Sound Right a podcast about talking the way we did before the internet—when knowledge lived in the room and expertise came from the people in the conversation, not a search bar.

In this episode, hosts Peter and Cecil take a hard (and slightly nostalgic) look at the insulated-tumbler obsession. From Yeti and Hydro Flask to Stanley and the explosion of stainless-steel cups everywhere you turn, they debate whether these trendy tumblers are actually helping the environment—or quietly creating a future landfill problem.

The conversation drifts (as it should) into memories of Styrofoam cups, old-school thermoses, Trapper Keepers, and the practical, no-frills stuff we grew up with. Are modern metal tumblers better, or just better marketed? And what happens to all of these cups when the craze fades and the next must-have item takes over?

Pull up a chair, pour something into your cup of choice, and listen in. And if at any point you find yourself thinking, “That don’t sound right,” leave a comment and join the conversation.

That Don’t Sound Right is a conversational podcast where hosts Peter and Cecil proudly skip the fact-checking and lean into the old-school tradition of sharing ideas, opinions, and half-remembered knowledge. No scripts. No experts. Just curiosity and conversation.

In this episode, the guys riff on almanacs, quirky backpacking gadgets, and hands-on stove experiments before diving into the main topic: solo-style smokeless stoves. From full-size backyard fire rings to DIY “Pepsi-G” alcohol backpacking stoves, they break down how double-wall designs work, why added airflow burns off smoke, and what they learned by actually building and using these stoves themselves.

It’s a mix of practical tinkering, outdoor curiosity, and the kind of discussion that may not be fully researched—but definitely sounds right.

On this episode of That Don’t Sound Right, Peter and Cecil kick off 2026 with curiosity, confusion, and a healthy dose of skepticism. They break down the baffling results of their YouTube Shorts experiments—following all the “expert” advice, posting consistently, and still seeing surprisingly low views. Is it worth chasing the algorithm, or is it better to just enjoy creating content and talking things out?

The conversation then takes a sharp (and entertaining) turn into the Farmers’ Almanac, as they flip through predictions on moon-sign planting, fishing calendars, frost dates, and long-range weather forecasts. Peter and Cecil make a plan to track the Almanac’s accuracy throughout the year and see how well these old-school predictions actually hold up.

It’s a laid-back, thoughtful start to the new year—about making content, questioning systems that “don’t sound right,” and staying curious no matter what the numbers say.

Peter and Cecil close out the year with a classic That Don’t Sound Right mailbag episode — and it goes exactly where you’d expect… and nowhere you’d predict.

Listeners weigh in on everything from peanut-butter-and-pickle sandwiches and hypermiling tricks, to rock cairn trail etiquette, salt mines, AirTags on pets, Francine the Lowe’s cat, and those household rules that are absolutely non-negotiable.

It’s a fast-moving, laugh-filled year-end wrap-up that celebrates the community around the show, reflects on the weirdest conversations of the season, and teases what’s coming in Season Six.

In this annual Christmas episode of That Don’t Sound Right, hosts Peter and Cecil take a curious and thoughtful look at the Christmas story—and the parts that, at first glance, just don’t sound right.

From centuries-old prophecies foretelling Jesus’ birth to the surprising fulfillment of promises through a humble baby, the hosts explore key Old Testament references including the Davidic lineage, Isaiah’s prophecy of a virgin birth and “Emmanuel,” the powerful titles of Isaiah 9, and the foreshadowing found in Psalm 69. They also discuss the statistical improbability of Jesus fulfilling 48 messianic prophecies, as highlighted in Lee Strobel’s work.

The conversation kicks off with a lighthearted Wheel Horse anecdote before settling into the show’s signature blend of humor, curiosity, and reflection—shared openly from a believer’s perspective. As always, this special Christmas episode is short, conversational, and designed to invite listeners into the discussion, whether they’re longtime believers, skeptics, or simply curious about the story behind the season.

Where does table salt actually come from — the ocean, ancient seas, underground rock deposits, or the great flood?

On this episode of That Don’t Sound Right, Peter and Cecil tumble headfirst into a surprisingly heated debate about salt’s true origin. What starts as a simple question turns into a full-blown culinary science mystery, sparked by a revisit to their infamous pickle episode (yes, including Mt. Olive Pickle Company’s emoji reply) and a distant memory that Alton Brown that all salt ultimately comes from the sea.

The hosts kick around ideas about Himalayan pink salt, mined rock salt, evaporated seawater, and deep-earth deposits, while sharing real questions they’ve fired off to geologists and scientists in search of answers. Spoiler alert: no tidy conclusion here. Just curiosity, skepticism, and an open invitation for listeners to weigh in with their own theories.

If you like food science debates, unresolved arguments, and conversations that feel like they wandered off course but somehow got more interesting — this one absolutely don’t sound right.
