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&apos;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. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2420147/open_sms">Send us a text</a>Check <a href='https://www.oldmanlunch.org/'>www.oldmanlunch.org</a> for more details on us, Alzheimer&apos;s, and the podcast.

Matt and Mark Tiny Houses - We Have No Control

In October of 2023, Matt Allen, one of my oldest and closest friends was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s at the age of 55. He was given eight years, but life expectancy can range from three to 20 years with Alzheimer’s.When a doctor puts a timeframe on someone’s life, it tends to bring things into focus, which is how Old Man Lunch was born. Your hosts, Mark Vallet (me), Matt Allen, and Brad Nilles, decided they needed to spend more time together, have some fun, and make some memories while Matt’s disease progresses.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 lifeHowever, this is not just a podcast about Alzheimer’s, we will be covering several topics as well as simply talking about our lives, and what is going on in the world. Some episodes will be dedicated to just Matt’s disease and its impact, and I hope to have medical experts, friends, family, and other Alzheimer’s patients as guests.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.&nbsp;
