We’re off to the happiest place on Earth! The guys discuss their first visit to Disney World as kids back in 1978, and remember how magical the experience was. Months of anticipation led up to an unforgettable trip, and that was just the first of many memorable trips over the years, ultimately experienced with their own kids! A special guest, Don Jack, joins them in the second segment to discuss his extensive experiences with Disney theme parks, including many un-sanctioned behind the scenes glimpses of the park that he has helped himself to over the years!

We're Going to Disney World!! (With special guest Don Jack)

Jeff invites our lifelong friend, Scott Donehoo, onto the show to discuss a song he wrote with Rocky called "Childish Things."  The song is about everything we discuss on this podcast, and we break the lyrics down line by line.  As Scott was the lyricist, he gives us some great insights about the inspirations behind the words, and the discussion triggers plenty of memories from our own childhoods. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rocky-seale/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rocky-seale/support

Making time for Childish Things - featuring Scott Donehoo

MERRY NEW YEAR!! NO, IN THIS COUNTRY, WE SAY “HAPPY” NEW YEAR. THE GUYS DISCUSS THE GREATEST “NEW YEARS” MOVIE OF ALL TIME… TRADING PLACES! THIS MOVIE OOZES SO MUCH OF THE ESSENCE OF WHAT MADE THE 80’S THE 80’S, THROUGH THE RE-TELLING A CLASSIC TALE OF “NATURE VS. NURTURE.” AND OF COURSE, IT WAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE METEORIC ARC OF EDDIE MURPHY’S CAREER, WHICH INCLUDED TWO GROUNDBREAKING STAND-UP COMEDY MOVIES THAT ACTUALLY PLAYED IN THE CINEMAS! THEY THEN EMBARK ON A DISCUSSION OF THE STAND UP COMEDY OF THE 80’S, WHICH WAS TRULY A GOLDEN ERA. FINALLY, THEY DISCUSS HOW POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IS DESTROYING THE COMEDY THEY GREW UP WITH… CAN I GET AN AWOMEN? --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rocky-seale/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rocky-seale/support

Princes, Paupers, Prostitutes and Political Correctness (A discussion of "Trading Places," Eddie Murphy, and Stand-Up Comedy)

Here is just a short message from the podcast to help you usher out the year 2020.  Although the guys couldn't find time to record together this week, Jeff managed to keep the feel of the show the same, all the while keeping within the restraints of the show's budget. In his heartfelt soliloquy, Jeff lays out the plans for the podcast in 2021, and appears to have had too much egg nog during this festive season!   --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rocky-seale/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rocky-seale/support

Should auld acquaintance be forgot? No, just the year 2020!

In this short episode, Jeff plays Santa!  Rocky is literally overwhelmed by the gifts, especially the one Jeff gave to himself!  The guys briefly discuss the greatest Christmas movie of all time (hint - the title alone confirms it) and then reflect on the true reason for the season.  Finally, they wish all of their listeners a very Merry Christmas!   --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rocky-seale/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rocky-seale/support

Merry Christmas, everyone! (Jeff, you shouldn't have... no, you really shouldn't have!)

The boys are overcome by the Christmas spirit, and as such, Rocky recalls a charming tale of holiday cheer that actually wound up causing considerable pain for the young siblings.  While Rocky's discomfort was somewhat existential in nature, Jeff's was much more palpable (and may have left a mark on more than just his subconscious) leading him to question whether the yarn Rocky spun was actually a "Christmas story."  By insisting that it was, Rocky triggered their own take on a debate that has captivated the nation... nay, the world... "Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?"  Little brother, Toby, joined in for that discussion.  Don't miss it!! #diehardisachristmasmovie --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rocky-seale/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rocky-seale/support

Mistletoe, reindeer, Holly... and Nakatomi? (Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?)

What starts out as a bit of nostalgia over Luv Ya Blue, the late 70's era Houston Oiler juggernaut, transforms into a refection on the over-arching fashion theme of that time... the Urban Cowboy. Boots, Stetsons, big belt buckles, puffy vests, line dancing, Gilly's... but wait!! We find out that Jeff absolutely cannot abide the penultimate entry on that list, the line dance! Learn all about his hatred for this wholesome, synchronized activity, and his strategy for avoiding it.   It's quite a tale!  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rocky-seale/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rocky-seale/support

This is where Jeff draws the line!

The guys reflect on the ultimate item of 80's cool... the radar detector.  Whether it was the Fuzzbuster or the Escort, you were riding high if you had one of these beauties gracing your sun-beaten dash.  What happened to these relics from the past? Why doesn't anyone seem to own one anymore? These are some of the questions pondered and answered in segment one.  In segment two, we learn of a shady episode from Jeff's past... is it just the first of many?  Oh, stay tuned, and you'll soon find out! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rocky-seale/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rocky-seale/support

Keep This on Your Radar!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  This may be one of the most unusual Thanksgivings of our lifetimes... way to go 2020!  But, there are still so many things to be thankful for.  In this short episode, Jeff tells us a few of his.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rocky-seale/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rocky-seale/support

Special Episode - Giving Thanks

Sure, you may choose to offer up sun-dried grapes as snacking fare for your kids... that's your choice.  Just don't expect your little health nuts to win any popularity contests if you do!  The boys discuss the importance that available snacks had on determining which friends houses to frequent back in the day.  Their own house was always well stocked (if only they had owned Little Debbie stock!), and they pay respects to their Mom for making that happen!  In segment two, they reflect on some odd band names from the 80's. Oh, and did we mention that Jeff once had to briefly follow a no sugar diet?  Oh, the humanity!!! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rocky-seale/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rocky-seale/support

Raisin Hell

What begins as an examination of Jeff's less than stellar academic record quickly evolves (devolves?) into a discussion about on of life's great pleasures... the peanut butter and jelly sandwich.  The boys discuss different variations on the culinary genre, including PB&J-themed alcoholic beverages.  They then pay their respects to the great peanut-powered pioneer GWC, and express their sympathy for those afflicted with the "Millennial scourge"... the dreaded peanut allergy. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rocky-seale/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rocky-seale/support

Who's down with OPPB&J?

Jeff and Rocky reflect on some of the restaurants that they loved as kids that are no longer with us.  This discussion was prompted by the realization that Luby's Cafeteria is closing its doors.  There are a bunch of examples of places they can't believe are gone, and at least one that they can't believe is still here! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rocky-seale/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rocky-seale/support

Eating Away at Our Childhood!

The boys are back after a short break.  They lay down the ground rules for Season two, and then discuss the fact that about 6 months worth of news were packed into their month-long hiatus between seasons. After the news recap, they reflect on some of the notable 70's and 80's icons that we lost while they were away... RBG, Jerry Jeff Walker, Helen Reddy, Mac Davis, Joe Morgan, Bob Gibson, Whitey Ford, Tom Kennedy, Tony Lewis, and last but not least...

Season Two Premier - so much to discuss!

The guys reflect on the forty episodes that comprise season one of their award wanting podcast!  Mosquito fumigation trucks, guitar playing cousins, little brothers, Sunday comics, Blazing Saddles, John Hughes movies, the 80's club scene, Van Halen, school sanctioned corporal punishment... it's all in there!  And say hello, once again, to super fan, Michelle, who provides a millennial's perspective on all of the above!!

Episode Forty - Season One Finale!!!

Ah, the Hollywood remake.  Is it evidence of a complete loss of originality and absence of new ideas?  Or, is it a cry for help from the current generation who recognizes that the movies of our era were some of the best ever made? Either way, there are some movies that should never... EVER... be remade!  Which ones, you ask?  Well friend, find a comfortable spot, cue up this episode, and we'll tell you. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rocky-seale/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rocky-seale/support

Episode Thirty Nine - Oh yeah? Why don't you (re)make me?!

Jeff, Rocky, and their cronies, will discuss all things about growing up in the 70's and 80's! We hope to provide a sense of nostalgia to those who were there with us, and also to provide some entertaining stories and advice (possibly questionable) to the generations that have come after us!
