What if you could save money by buying fuel when prices are low and storing it for later? Is investing in a slip tank actually a smart idea—or just another project that sounds better in theory than in practice?
In this episode, Peter and Cecil fuel up for a conversation about slip tanks, pickup transfer tanks, farm fuel storage, and even the massive milk tankers and fuel trailers that spark every tinker's imagination. They crunch the numbers on whether stockpiling gasoline or diesel really saves money, discuss the challenges of ethanol-blended gasoline, fuel stabilizers, shelf life, and why diesel often makes more sense for long-term storage.
The discussion also wanders into auction finds, preparedness, maintaining older engines, neighborhood regulations, and the practical—and sometimes hilarious—realities of parking a giant fuel tank in your backyard. Along the way, Peter and Cecil share stories from years of tinkering, hauling equipment, and always looking for the next interesting project.
Whether you're a gearhead, homesteader, prepper, truck enthusiast, or just someone who keeps an eye on gas prices, this episode is full of practical insights, back-of-the-shop wisdom, and plenty of laughs.
Because owning your own fuel depot might sound like a great idea... until the neighbors start asking questions. That Don't Sound Right.

This week, Peter and Cecil tackle one of the most legendary—and controversial—sporting events in the world: the Isle of Man TT. Held on the winding public roads of a small island in the Irish Sea, this iconic motorcycle race has captivated fans for more than a century with breathtaking speeds, incredible skill, and undeniable danger.
The hosts explore the famous 37.73-mile Mountain Course, featuring more than 219 turns, stone walls, villages, mountain passes, and straightaways where riders reach astonishing speeds. They discuss the history of the TT, the unique sidecar races, the army of volunteer marshals who make the event possible, and the remarkable logistics of welcoming tens of thousands of fans to an island of just 85,000 residents.
Along the way, Peter and Cecil share their own motorcycle experiences, debate the balance between risk and passion, and wonder what compels riders to compete in an event many consider the most dangerous motorcycle race in the world. It's a conversation about adventure, tradition, engineering, and the people who willingly chase the edge.
Whether you're a lifelong motorcycle enthusiast or you've never heard of the Isle of Man TT, this episode offers an entertaining look at one of motorsport's most extraordinary spectacles—and why it continues to fascinate riders and fans around the globe.
Because when someone tells you motorcycles race flat-out through villages, over mountain roads, and past stone walls at nearly 200 miles per hour... that don't sound right.

This week, Peter and Cecil take a nostalgic trip through one of America's most beloved traditions—the county fair. From prize-winning hay bales and giant gourds to elaborate LEGO creations, decorated vegetables, homemade crafts, baked goods, and collections you never knew people judged, they explore the wonderfully quirky competitions that make local fairs so memorable.
Along the way, the conversation drifts into childhood memories, favorite fair exhibits, the surprising pride behind earning a blue ribbon, and the unique personalities that keep these hometown traditions alive. The hosts even share a memorable "Judge's Choice" story that proves sometimes the most unexpected entries leave the biggest impression.
Why do people spend months growing the perfect pumpkin, arranging vegetables into works of art, or carefully displaying lifelong collections? Peter and Cecil celebrate the creativity, community, friendly competition, and simple joy that make county fairs a cherished part of small-town life.
Whether you grew up walking the livestock barns, admiring the quilt displays, or heading straight for the funnel cakes, this episode is a fun reminder of why county fairs continue to bring generations together.
Because somewhere between the giant zucchini, the prize-winning tomatoes, and the blue ribbon hay bale... you'll probably find yourself saying, That Don't Sound Right.

In this episode, Peter and Cecil welcome financial planner Jason for a conversation about one of the most powerful—and often overlooked—forces in personal finance: compound interest.
Jason breaks down how money can grow over time through the "snowball effect" of compounding, explaining why starting early often matters more than investing large amounts later in life. Through relatable examples and easy-to-understand illustrations, he shows how consistent saving, patience, and time can turn modest investments into significant wealth.
The discussion covers practical strategies for listeners of all ages, including automating savings, paying your future self first, staying invested during market volatility, and avoiding the temptation to constantly buy and sell based on headlines. Jason also explains popular financial concepts like the Rule of 72 and why time in the market typically matters more than timing the market.
Whether you're just opening your first investment account, helping your children build good financial habits, or looking for motivation to stay the course, this episode offers timeless advice delivered in the conversational style that makes That Don’t Sound Right unique.
Because when someone shows how a few dollars invested early can grow into a surprisingly large nest egg, you might find yourself saying... that don't sound right.

As the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament winds down this week, That Don’t Sound Right dives into one of the biggest stories in tournament history with special guest Glenn, who brings firsthand knowledge and behind-the-scenes insight from the docks, the boats, and the Gulf Stream.
That Don’t Sound Right is a podcast about talking—the way we did before the internet, when you couldn’t instantly fact-check everything and all the expertise lived in the people around the conversation.
In this timely episode, Peter and Cecil sit down with Glenn to discuss the legendary 919-pound blue marlin that shattered tournament records and made headlines throughout the fishing world. The story gets even wilder when they discuss what was found inside the fish—a sailfish that added another layer to an already unbelievable catch.
The conversation explores what it's really like to compete in the Big Rock, from running high-performance sportfishing boats 40-plus miles offshore to the Gulf Stream, to the strategy, teamwork, pressure, and excitement that come with chasing trophy billfish and life-changing prize money.
Whether you're following this year's tournament, planning a trip to the Crystal Coast, or simply curious about one of North Carolina's most iconic sporting events, Glenn shares stories that bring listeners aboard for the action. From tournament rules and weigh-ins to crew dynamics and the realities of battling a giant marlin, this episode captures the thrill that makes Big Rock a summer tradition.
As boats head offshore this week in search of the next record catch, join Peter, Cecil, and Glenn for a conversation about the fish, the fishermen, and the stories that keep everyone coming back year after year.
Because when someone tells you a 919-pound marlin swallowed a sailfish and still got caught... that don't sound right.

On this episode of That Don’t Sound Right, hosts Peter and Cecil venture into the wild world of bear deterrents, starting with a story from Japan that sounds almost too bizarre to be true: the Monster Wolf—a solar-powered, fur-covered robotic wolf equipped with flashing lights and more than 50 sounds designed to frighten away bears.
As reports of bear encounters increase, the guys explore whether a mechanical predator is a brilliant solution or just another invention that sounds right until you really think about it. Along the way, they compare the Monster Wolf to other wildlife deterrents, including bear spray, robotic dogs, scare devices, silhouettes, and the age-old strategy of simply making a lot of noise.
Peter and Cecil also swap personal stories about encounters with bears and other wildlife, share listener feedback, and dive into the fascinating ways humans try to coexist with animals while protecting themselves and their communities.
True to the spirit of That Don’t Sound Right, the conversation wanders from practical outdoor advice to the wonderfully absurd, asking questions that don't always have easy answers: Can technology outsmart wildlife? Do scare tactics actually work? And who decided a robotic wolf was the best place to start?
It’s a funny, curious, and occasionally hair-raising look at the intersection of nature, technology, and human ingenuity.
Because if someone told you a flashing robot wolf was protecting towns from bears... you might be tempted to say, that don’t sound right.

That Don’t Sound Right is a podcast about talking—the way we did before the internet took over every conversation. No constant fact-checking, no endless scrolling, just curious people trying to make sense of the world.
In this episode, Peter and Cecil take a closer look at the growing network of automated license-plate readers known as Flock and the grassroots Deflock movement that tracks and maps those cameras. What starts as a discussion about crime prevention quickly expands into a larger conversation about privacy, surveillance, technology, and the trade-offs communities face in an increasingly monitored world.
The hosts explore how modern camera systems can identify vehicle make, model, color, and distinguishing features, how neighborhoods and businesses use these networks, and why law enforcement agencies find them valuable for locating stolen vehicles and investigating crimes. They also examine concerns about data collection, surveillance creep, and the possibility of systems being used in ways never originally intended.
Along the way, Peter and Cecil discuss gunshot-detection technology, crowd-sourced camera maps, and the lengths some people go to avoid being tracked—all while asking the central question: How much privacy are we willing to trade for security?
It’s a thoughtful, entertaining conversation about modern technology, personal freedom, and the changing relationship between citizens, communities, and surveillance.
Because when every road seems to have a camera pointed at it, you have to wonder... does that sound right?

On this episode of That Don’t Sound Right, co-hosts Peter and Cecil welcome fellow podcasters Jen and Brandy from Heavy Pour of Jen and Brandy for a thoughtful, funny, and surprisingly deep conversation about the connection between joy and pain.
The discussion explores how Jen and Brandy’s podcast began, why people are drawn to sharing honest stories, and how healing sometimes shows up in unexpected places—from bars and backpacking trips to silent discos, roadside dancing, and even sneaking aboard yachts.
Along the way, the group wrestles with big questions: What exactly is joy? How is it different from happiness? Can pain actually deepen our ability to experience joy? The conversation touches on the work of authors and thinkers like Kate Bowler and Jerry Sittser, including recommendations for Joyful Anyway and reflections on grief, healing, absurdity, and living honestly in a complicated world.
As always, That Don’t Sound Right stays true to its mission of talking the way we did before the internet—without constant Googling or fact-checking, just real conversation and the collective wisdom of the people around the table.
The episode also includes hilarious yacht stories, multiverse theories, sketchy-but-legal adventures, backpacking tales, dancing therapy, and the always-entertaining TDSR speed round.
Because sometimes joy shows up in the middle of the absurd… and somehow, that just might sound right.

On this episode of That Don’t Sound Right, hosts Peter and Cecil hit the trail—literally—as they explore the legendary Trans-America Trail, the massive off-road route stretching from coast to coast across the United States.
Depending on the route, the trail can run more than 4,200–5,000 miles, winding through backroads, dirt tracks, mountain passes, remote towns, and places most travelers never see. Peter and Cecil dig into the logistics and lore of the trail, discussing everything from 111-section map bundles and waterproof handlebar charts to modern GPS systems, fuel planning, breakdowns, and the realities of traveling far from civilization.
The conversation also zeroes in on the North Carolina Atlantic spur, vehicle choices ranging from motorcycles and Scouts to full 4x4 rigs, and the unique challenge of balancing old-school navigation with today’s technology. Along the way, the guys reflect on why paper maps still matter, the appeal of slow travel, and the adventure of getting just a little bit lost.
Whether you’re an experienced overlander, a weekend off-roader, or someone who just loves the idea of crossing America one dirt road at a time, this episode is packed with practical insight, nostalgia, and the kind of road-trip conversation that fits perfectly with the spirit of That Don’t Sound Right.
Because sometimes the best route… is the one that doesn’t completely sound right.
