“All Hat & No Cattle”, as they say in Texas
Don’t waste your time. The description of this pod makes it sound so dramatic! Family secrets! An abusive dad! Crime sprees! The 60s! I entered the experience expecting a thrilling ride. What I got was all foreshadowing with no payoff. A tale of a standard issue white bread suburban upbringing in the 50s and 60s. Some minor drama typical to all families. The Wonder Years without the emotional investment. The last straw for me was Ep. 7. where we were promised some payoff, with the great rebellion against the abusive father! Which amounted to one disrespectful remark, a typical teenager running up the stairs and slamming his door, and the terrifying Dad in tears. At least this episode was enlivened by tales of the brothers’ escapades as teenagers (the promised crime spree). Now THAT would be a podcast!
