"Cover of Rolling Stone"

Episode #84

Joseph talks a bit about this year's BIFAN Film Festival before the talk turns to drive-in theaters now in the age of Covid-19. Then it's off to the Mix-Tape Challenge followed by the main topic: magazines! From Highlights for Children to Rolling Stone, the fellas wax nostalgic for the old Bill Apter wrestling magazines, the black and white Warren horror mags, and everyone's favorite - TV Guide. All this and more - and none of those stinky perfume samplers and annoying subscription cards that seemed to be on every other page of magazines back in the day.

"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."

My God - it's been almost a year.
A whole year.
Although it seems a bit insincere after so long, we are VERY SORRY that we've not kept up on things here.  We could say we were indulging in movie marathons of Stephen Spielberg and John Carpenter movies, or listening to the entire Prince catalog of music, but that's just not true.  Bottom line is that we just got tired.  Between adding all of the OLD content and trying to keep up with the NEW content, it got to be a bit overwhelming.
But we're re-dedicating ourselves to posting things here.  New episodes and returning to posting the links to all of the OLD episodes as well.  It seems that more and more people are staying away from Facebook and the toxicity that seems to fuel their fires and since that is our main outlet for our web presence we figured we needed to beef up this site and get more traffic driving here instead.
So bear with us - it's a time consuming job, but it's a job we're GOING to do.
"The question isn't what are we going to do. The question is what aren't we going to do."

"Vacation"

Episode #83

Just because Mike is on vacation doesn't mean the guys are going to let you - their loyal listeners - down! Things start with a discussion about Mike's aforementioned vacation, then it's on to the Monthly Mix-Tape Challenge where Joe answers the call to deliver a mix-tape of songs that have a guy's name in the title. Then, to keep things simple, the fellas hit the WABAC machine and deliver up an encore of their very first (and very unpolished) first episode!
