88 - Home Improvement Was A Root Cause

Jonathan Bradley Welch, David Crabb and guests get together to chat about the ghosts of television and pop culture past. They cover it all: what we love, hate, hate to love, and what's absurd when we look at the past through a modern lens. Nothing is off topic, and everything is worth a closer look!

TV & Film

This is definitely a crossover episode with Two Wick Minimum's Selena Coppock, uniting her strong candle loving skills with the spooky tales of kids in the 1990s finding messages everywhere written by a ghost. That's right, it's time to explore "Ghostwriter," the PBS classic that inspired kids without cable all over America to get spooky!

122 - You Gotta Believe In The Ghostwriter

Ambassador Of Fun Robin Gelfenbien joins Jonathan and David this week to talk about the lessons learned between cartoons and Cookie Crisp commercials on NBC's "One To Grow On." Join as we reminisce about the likes of Betty White, Nancy McKeon, Ricky Schroeder, and Valerie Harper do the work of trying to make kids of the 80s grow up not to be dicks. Did it work? You tell us.

121 - And That's One To Grow On

It seems like a time very far gone from here, but once upon a corny, prairie moment, Lawrence Welk brought wholesome entertainment to America for decades! This very current program was brought to the table by fan favorite Linda Bailey Walsh, and we were delighted to revisit something so innocent! Float away with us!

120 - The Quarantined Bubbles Of Lawrence Welk

The hot dump of a group of sexy singles with no rules is the kind of TV show that brought college students Corinne Fisher (Guys We F*cked, Without A Country) and Thomas Whitfield (Shit They Won't Tell You In SexEd, The Lunchbox Lessons) together in 2003, forging their close friendship and changing the course of history! Corinne and Tommy join David and Jonathan to discuss "Paradise Hotel," the Fox reality series that required people to either hook-up, or be banished.
