On episode 39, Joseph surprises Mike by declaring that The Osmonds were influential on his becoming a hard rock fan. Here are two examples why.

Disco Baby?!?

Kiss is only visible for a couple of seconds, but in those couple of seconds you can sense the feeling of contempt at the proceedings. 

"Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)"

Mike and Joseph make up for missing a new episode two weeks ago by giving you an extended (80 minutes!) look at one of the... er, "scariest" Halloween specials ever.
That's right... The Paul Lynde Halloween Special!
Listen to Episode #39 now!

"Nostalgia is a lousy reporter who gets the facts and dates all wrong and isn't above total invention." --- legendary "San Francisco Chronicle" columnist Herb Caen, July 4, 1985. Mike and Joseph are doing their best to live up to Mr. Caen's definition!  😉

These days you can slip into one of those inflatable T-Rex or Godzilla suits and play out your own daikaiju dreams.
But back in the day?
Back in the day, THIS is all we had.

If you were a kid in the 70s and owned a bike, or a Big Wheel, or, well, ANYTHING with wheels, you probably tried to be Evel Knievel at least once. And you probably injured yourself in the process.
But thanks to the Ben Cooper Company, at Halloween all you had to do was throw this sucker on and - WHAM! - you were America's Greatest Daredevil!

(the fact that the mask is dented in a few places in this photo adds a certain amount of ironic humor)

Trick or Treat?

In the time honored tradition of "trick or treat", we suffered a horrible TRICK this week and Mike and Joseph were unable to get a show together that met their high standards of excellence.
There WILL be a new show on October 25th and it WILL satisfyingly scary. In the meantime, go poke around whenitwascool.com and listen to some other shows. There's all sorts of Halloween goodness going on over there!
