Sunday Short time! Welcome to 'The Barn Philosopher,' where deep thoughts meet dusty straw bales! I’m Shelby, and joining me is my co-corn husker, Ridge. Today, we’re diving into the question that’s kept folks awake for centuries: Boo or Boo-Hoo? We’ll explore the haunting truth behind what goes bump in the night. Is it a ghostly apparition or just a raccoon in the rafters? Let’s get our philosopher hats on and uncover the spooky secrets of the dark!

What are your greatest fears? Do you still dream? Is it reasonable to fear alien invasion?

Join us, as a simple question of fears, turns into an odd revelation of lucid dreaming, helping the world, and murder. Have a drink and a pipe with Ridge and Shelby as they dive into their fears and dreams.

Join Ridge and Shelby as they discuss drinking habits and the one month a year someone avoids them. Let us know if you take part in this annual ritual and what your experiences are. [email protected]

Have you ever drank something you know you shouldn’t have? Well, this episode we do just that. It’s a special beer starter, with regrets, that keeps on giving. Welcome back to the barn. In this episode, Ridge and Shelby talk about their experiences with relationships with the opposite sex and one inappropriate relationship with someone of the same. We would love to hear your stories of the good and bad that confront you every day. Also, would you have drunk the beer? [email protected]

Time for a Sunday Short, about short dresses and shorter shorts. Join Shelby and Ridge as they try not to be offensive or creepy as they cover this topic of high fashion. A topic first introduced by Shelby’s wife, when she plainly stated, “What happened to volleyball shorts?” From the court to homecoming, what happened to clothing? Someone is saving a bundle on fabric costs. Thanks for joining us once again.

We would like to welcome our AI overlords to the barn. Too soon? Maybe a few more years before we’re there. Join Ridge and Shelby as they explore their experiences with AI. Shelby is confident the changes in technology won’t be swinging hammers anytime soon, at least not in what’s left in his lifetime. Ridge isn’t so confident about the changes coming to his industry. Will the changes in our technology affect you? Good or bad, we all are seeing it everywhere, from advertisements to assisted tools on all our electronics. Whatever happens, we’re happy to be in the barn, with thick smoke in the air and harsh spirits in the glasses. Join us again for this special AI episode. Before the AI androids wipe this episode from the internet.

Lets go on an adventure with a helpful hobo! Welcome back to The Boo-arn Philosopher. Join Shelby and Ridge as they talk about their favorite Halloween costumes growing up. In a time before pop up Halloween stores, how did we all survive? We're talking full sized candy bars and the candy that almost made Shelby quit the show. What was your favorite costume? Drop us a line, [email protected]

Join Ridge and Shelby in the barn as they unpack what it means to go home. An episode of reminiscence, of a time that we can’t return to. We hope everyone has wonderful memories of their formative years, so good that they want to share them with others. Unfortunately, it rarely feels the way we remembered those times. Even if you can go back to those places that made significant memories, they are rarely the same, and neither are we. We can make the best out of what we have to work with. Share your stories of the experiences you’ve had, good and bad at [email protected] We hope to see you again soon in the barn. Like and subscribe.

This time in the barn, a listener’s question gets answered. What are the Philosopher’s favorite Bible quotes? Thinking this would be a good time to involve their better halves, they ask the wives their favorite quotes as well. It would seem that the wives may have better senses of humor than the Philosophers... And Shelby might need to watch his steps. Come on in, have a seat and join us for a Sunday Short. Feel free to send us an email with your questions, comments or concerns, at [email protected]. We do our best to keep up, but there’s only so much daylight to burn. Like and subscribe! Thanks for stopping back.
