The Idiot Philosophers
Slats is former military and a current airline pilot. Charlie is a national radio host (formerly) and current ne're do-well. They grew up, started families, and followed separate paths... but always remained the best of friends. NOT philosophers, life coaches, scholars, or role models, they're just two dads with microphones, and a long history of learning things in the hardest and often the most painful ways possible. Since nobody else (according to them) is doing a podcast, they thought they'd give it a go. They've been there, done that, and think they might just have wisdom to share that you may learn from. (But don't get your hopes up.) However, they CAN tell stories! Warning: Following THEIR advice may come with feelings of regret, confusion, or an overactive bladder. Trusting them may be unfortunate and predictable, but in the end, is totally on YOU.

Slats is NOT fond of his daughter's 18-year-old cat, Lilly, but his wife is VERY fond of her leaf blower... one of Charlie's least favorite sounds. They'll discuss their cross-country road trip that includes a stop in Dodge City, Kansas. Obviously, they HAD to stay at The Wyatt Earp Hotel but were amazed, as they checked in, to find that the huge picture of a man, hanging behind the check-in desk, was NOT Wyatt Earp! Since nobody e...

Slats met his future wife, Katie, when they were both in high school.
