The Barn Philosopher

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?

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 thebarnphilosopher@gmail.com 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 thebarnphilosopher@gmail.com. We do our best to keep up, but there’s only so much daylight to burn. Like and subscribe! Thanks for stopping back.

Shelby and Ridge talk about one of Shelby’s passions, napping. Unfortunately, not everyone gets to nap, but if we could find some time to kick back and relax, maybe people wouldn’t feel the need to, as Ridge so eloquently put it, “Strangle someone.” Having sleeping issues seems so common, we have feel for you. We hope you enjoy the show, and don’t forget to share your stories with us. We’d love to hear them and possibly put them in the show. Drop us a line, thebarnphilosopher@gmail.com

Join Ridge and Shelby in the barn for a Sunday Short, as they give a glimpse into their lives as fathers. Is it okay to fail? Absolutely, we have had many failures. When you’re always winning, victory is not as sweet as when you can compare it to your failures. Do well, be well, and always support those around you. We’ll talk soon. Thanks for stopping by the barn.

Join Ridge and Shelby as they explore their experiences of talking to God. Is prayer just us listening to ourselves, or a divine voice, speaking to us? Share your experiences with the hosts at thebarnphilosopher@gmail.com. As always, thanks for listening, share and like if you'd like.

Chatting between recordings sparks a memory, and the Sunday Super Short is born. Join Ridge and Shelby on this quick adventure and see why they think this episode doesn’t suck.

Tis the season to pumpkin. Pumpkin everything it would seem. Join Shelby and Ridge as they dive down the rabbit hole of pumpkin spice and all it has to offer. Believe it or not, one of the hosts is for it and the other indifferent. Let us know what you think at thebarnphilosopher@gmail.com
