Watershed had to have its own election recount - Episode 41

12/10/2020

Usually Mayor Thomas runs unopposed, but this year he had competition. And the results were so close a recount was in order. Luckily, DeeDee was the official poll watcher and nothing gets by DeeDee. Check out episode 41.

Visit Iron Key Brewing Company in episode 40

10/22/2020

We had the pleasure of sitting down with Chris Balliew, Head of Taproom Operations at Iron Key Brewing Company, for our latest podcast. They have set up quite an operation on the property and in the buildings of what used to be a North Carolina State Penitentiary. Gary was very excited about getting to "spend a night in the box."

It only took us 49 years!

9/17/2020

Gary and Mark met as camp counselors at Camp Mondamin 49 years ago. Enjoy this 15-minute episode as they recreate a hike they did in 1971. It turned out to be kind of a disaster, but it cemented their friendship. In this episode, we make it right.

DeeDee gets a special honor

9/4/2020

DeeDee was back on the show and as usual, she sets the tone. We did tell her of a special honor being bestowed on her by Mayor Thomas, Mayor of Watershed. DeeDee was not too keen on the idea.

The Connecticut hotdog trail...

8/15/2020

Gary and Mark were finally back at Saluda Outfitters to record our first episode there in six months. We set up on the front porch and welcomed guests James & Andrew Greco to the show. They told us about their recent trip along "The Connecticut Hotdog Trail."

Three Old Friends share stories and music

8/1/2020

Gary and Mark met up with old camp friend, Scott Reed, on the tower at Camp Mondamin for our 36th episode. Scott, a financial advisor of the top order, gives our listeners and us some advice...and then Scott and Gary team up for some musical selections. Sit back and enjoy.

The Hike - how a misguided hike to Beech point made us 50-year friends

7/15/2020

Our featured story is about the time Gary and Mark took a group of 12-year-olds on a hike to a place we never found. And while the trip might have seen like a disaster at the time, it turned out to be the catalyst of a friendship that has endured since 1971.

The Little Buddy

7/1/2020

Gary was working hard in the lab of the Gary & Mark Podcasting University to come up with his latest invention, The Little Buddy. This is definitely going to be a runaway hit. Check this out and the rest of the fun here in Episode 34.

First anniversary Special

6/15/2020

One year and 10,000 plus downloads later, we celebrated our first anniversary. Again podcasting via Zoom, we invited past guests to join us. We were pleasantly surprised that four guests dropped in. Check out this special episode with Dee Dee, Mayor Thomas, Lawyer Joe, and Angela. It was a good time.

Guess Who has a job at the Watershed Dollar store?

6/1/2020

We never expected Dee Dee would show up when we called over to the Dollar Store. She's working security. Sounds like she's moonlighting since she's supposed to be working security for the Gary & Mark Podcasting University. She's effective at what she does, that's for sure.

Looking good, Dee Dee!

GMPU Athletic director has the answer to pandemic

5/15/2020

Don Silleman, the Gary & Mark Podcasting University Athletic Director, visited the show for this episode. And it’s a good thing. We were worried about our athletic program for the coming fall season. But, as is usually the case, Don has the answer to keeping the program active and on the cusp of greatness in the world of big-time college sports.

Dee dee, leader of the Wicked women of watershed

5/1/2020

This was one of those days we were happy to be socially distancing. This episode was recorded via Zoom and we had as our guest, Dee Dee, the gang leader of the W3 - Wicked Women of Watershed Motorcycle Gang. It was a rocky introduction but we'll try to stay on her good side. You can also find a video version of this on our YouTube channel.

Social distancing - we're taking this seriously

4/1/2020

Gary and Mark got together to record this episode from a proper social distancing distance. We brought in three guests via phone including Mayor Thomas, Mayor of Watershed; Joseph Clarke, the legal counsel for the show and university; and Frank Schell, a friend who happens to be a pickleball champion and is taking over that sport for the university as well as serving as the new tourism and development director for Rabbit Island Resort.

How parents can save $200,000...

3/15/2020

We have a lot going on in episode 27 and today we're recording at a new place to us, the Wakey Monkey Coffee Cafe in Saluda, North Carolina. In these times of investment markets swinging all over the place - we can save you 200 grand in about 45 seconds. We also had Matt Noller on the show, owner of the Wakey Monkey to tell us about his fine establishment. We throw in a history lesson and other assorted bits of fun.

Cat Abuse of the Elderly...

Cat bullying of the elderly is a real thing. We can help. In this episode you'll also meet the newest hire at "The Gary and Mark Podcasting University" and learn about the event Dr. James Moore will be coaching, the Aluminum Man Triathlon.

"Security pants" - Fun Underwear for Adults

2/15/2020

We’re putting the “continents” back in incontinence! The Gary and Mark Show doesn’t just rest when we’re climbing to the top. We’re always coming up with new businesses to help support the show, and Gary’s idea for “Security Pants” is bound to be a winner! Listen in to get on the ground floor.

We also have some more news about our upcoming movie production of Pam Stone’s novel, “Girls Like Her.”

Just like water, we're all headed downhill

2/1/2020

Almost the entire faculty and administration of the Gary and Mark Podcasting University spent a pleasant half day in a team building trek to Drip Falls. Originally the activity was to take place at the luxurious Rabbit Island Resort, but after much thought and deliberation it was determined that a faculty retreat in a spa-like setting would send the wrong message to our student(s) and their parents.

After a grueling two miles in which we had to walk both ways, with much discussion we reflected upon the waterfall we’d seen and how much gravity has to do with just about everything we do.

Just like the water, we’re all headed downhill.

For us the big treat was lunch at Green River Barbecue in Saluda where we were surprised to learn that Wednesday is FREE DESSERT DAY!

Returning to our roots and all the news from Watershed

1/15/2020

We travel back to where our friendship began for this episode. Gary and Mark met at Camp Mondamin in 1971 and decided to celebrate their 49th year of friendship by recording on the tower at the camp overlooking Lake Summit. And if fact, if you squint you can get a glimpse of Rabbit Island. As always, lots of fun stuff going on in 25 minutes.

New Year, New Season, and then there's a certain magazine...

1/1/2020

Gary and Mark welcome the New Year with a new season and a new episode. They batted around the idea of making some New Year's resolutions...but quickly voted that down. And then Gary brings up a certain magazine that will definitely have the old geezers talking down on the corner in Watershed.
