According to Matt, Alzheimer’s has brought him some new clarity regarding how much control we have in this world, and the answer is zero.

Just because Matt has Alzheimer’s, it doesn’t mean we will all be present for his funeral. Death could come for any one of us at any time, and there are certainly decent odds that Brad or I will kick it well before Matt expires.

In the end, we honestly have no idea what is to come and while I still find that thought discomforting, Matt seems ready to embrace the fact that we have no control over anything in this world. We are living on a giant ball of Chaos.

The Tiny House Tapes are short recordings, edited from a much longer and very boozy recording, covering a somewhat specific topic related to Alzheimer’s.

This is Volume One - I Feel Free

Matt's diagnosis has brought certain freedoms and benefits into his life. Awareness of his mortality has led to an openness and lust for life that many of us may never know, at least until we reach our deathbed.

Old Man Lunch is a podcast about three old friends, the twist is that one of us, Matt Allen, was recently diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's at 55.

​Our goal is to provide a deep look into how Alzheimer’s impacts Matt's life as well as his family, friends, wife, and children. We want to talk about the daily challenges, frustrations, and believe it or not, freedoms (Matt’s words), that Alzheimer’s has brought into his life

In this episode, our first, we are looking at what we want to get out of this podcast and how talking about his diagnosis, both on this podcast and in other settings, helps Matt deal with the anxiety that comes with Alzheimer's.

We also discuss future episode ideas, support groups, and where Matt is his happiest.

​Join us for some laughing, some crying, and some brutal honesty about what early-onset Alzheimer's does to Matt, his family, friends, and caregivers.

This podcast will be rated explicit due to swearing, and possible sexual content as well as dealing with sensitive subjects such as religion, atheism, death, and fatal diseases. It will be both emotional and funny if everything goes to plan.
