Wax Nostalgic is a show that looks back on the good Ol' days, Laugh with us as we reminisce about past experiences and memories from our younger lives. Co-hosts Graham Johnstone, Ryan Kerwin and Sam Bagnall

In this episode we remember an assortment of toys that we used to love and then we talk about snow, Snow days, Blizzards, etc. 

In the first part of this episode we play around with some memories of toys that we used to love, Ryan starts us out by diving into his memory banks for a toy called 2XL, A little robot toy that tested your memory skills with a mysterious combination of magic and technology. This inspired his career in robotics! Next Graham builds his topic with colorful bricks of memory in a conversation about LEGOs, We dive into just how many innovations LEGO has made. From motors to microchips. This topic could have an episode of its own… And maybe it will ;). Last, Sam races into his topic of HOTWHEELS. Miles of orange track and hundreds of D batteries lead strait to a fun fast paced chat that ends with us discussing Micro Machines. 

In the second half we cool things off with a chat about Snow. Snow days, Blizzards and deep snow in general. Graham starts us off by reminiscing about the Colorado Blizzard of 1997, Cars were buried, doors were blocked and streets were a mess. Then he goes on to talk about the Blizzard of 2003 in Colorado. This sparks Sam’s topic which is also the 2003 Blizzard in Colorado. He remembers building all sorts of fun snow forts, Igloos and caves. Finally Ryan reminds us that he did not grow up in the United States. He tells us of the soot factory in England and tiny snow men in Japan. But finally he gets into his time in the US where he FINALLY got some blizzard action. In St Paul Minnesota it snowed so hard that the roof of their football stadium caved in. Then he tells us of another time where there was so much snow that people were struggling to drive. Ryan and his friend went out and scored some karma points by helping push peoples stuck cars out of the snow. 

That is it for another fun episode of Wax Nostalgic!
