I Just Kinda Figured Podcast

Quack! Quack! Quack! In this installment, the boys are back and this time IJKF goes to the movies! Blake, Ross and JJ sit down and review the classic 90s movie The Mighty Ducks. Digging into the best and worst of the movie, the characters and all the holes and question marks that come up watching it years later. Damn kid brain.

Does the movie hold up today? We let you know, let us know in the comments what you think.

Who doesn't remember their first family computer in the 90s? The big clunky piece of plastic and wires that made it so you never had to talk to someone face- to- face ever again.

Episode 6 of IJKF digs into the excitement of that first computer. That first website you visited, the games you played online and the single entity that has led to the rapid decline of society; the chat room.

Join us as we cover the growing pains and the good memories of the early computers at home and in school. All without the screeching hissing noise of dial-up. And of top of all that, a Tupac Christmas CD?

Let us know your favorite memories of chat rooms, computer games, fighting for computer time and any other intricacies we may have missed. Of course, stick around for that 90s Athlete of the Week, the name definitely will ring a bell.

"We'd like you to sell useless items to your neighbors for us so we can make money, but we won't pay YOU any money to do it,"

"Nothing?"

"No, but that's the best part. Who needs money when you can get paid in DECORATED COTTON BALLS!?!"

And we were hooked. The world of grade school fundraising is rife with earning opportunity, just not for the people doing the work. In Episode 5 of IJKF, the guys look back on everyone's REAL first job, that of after-school door-to-door salesman.

What even is a Weeble? Didn't matter - we all wanted them. And as the guys recall, it was all about getting a leg up on the competition (just watch out for prize hustlers and poor sales strategy that insults old people)

Also, add a dash of cinematic flavor to Random 90s Guy of the Week and what do you get? Fond memories for Blake and JJ, fuzzy ones for Ross.

What are your thoughts on fundraising? Any horror stories? Let us hear about it in the comments because who doesn't love exploiting kids and schools for profit?

It wouldn't be grade school without the highs, lows, and stray farts of gym class.

IJKF Episode 4 digs into the best and worst of physical education, from colored parachute popcorn to the dreaded mile run, and everything in between. How many pull-ups can you do? Because it might just be good enough (though probably not) to beat a six-year-old.

And we're dipping into the year's biggest hot-button issue: Thanksgiving stuffing. Also, why you should visit your local grocery store regularly.

Be sure to stick around for our Random 90s Sports Guy of the Week, where more syllables equal more fun.

Thoughts on gym class growing up? What was your favorite/least favorite game or fitness challenge? Still remember your mile time? (we hope not) But let us hear all about it in the comments.

We've brought our 90s kid nostalgia show to a new level - Week 3 and we're already expanding. Blake and Ross go to the bullpen and call up a promising talent to join them for Episode 3.

In the newest installment of IJKF, the guys dig into elementary school lunches (rectangle pizza, mystery salad dressing, you know how it goes) and the structural inefficiencies of children's food packaging. And who can forget Lunchables? We sure didn't. A trip down memory lane guaranteed, one milligram of sodium at a time.

Also, he's a classic That Guy from That Movie, and he happens to be our Random 90s Sports Guy of the Week. You definitely know who he is, you just didn't realize it. We're hoping to blow your mind here.

Comments or stories about your school lunches? Let us hear about it.

Here are some old Lunchables commercials to really set the mood:

We're back for Round 2 of 90s kid nostalgia and whatever else. This time we're listing off some of the greatest Super Nintendo games from our childhoods, and unearthing decades-old subconscious pain along the way.

Also, the secret life of Dana Barros (remember him?) and a reminder that you shouldn't forget about your grandma.

The good thing is, we cared enough to put a proper ending on this episode. Baby steps, folks. Let us hear your SNES banter in the comments.

Final note: Ross is an idiot and got the year wrong. He really meant to say NHL '97 the whole time. Here's the dope intro track from that game: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5isjNDdwXps

In the debut (and possibly only) episode of IJKF, meet Blake and Ross, two idiots who decided to try out a podcast talking about kid nostalgia from the 1990s, sports, and whatever else they feel like riffing on that week.

In this episode, the guys talk about the ongoing World Series, Halloween through the years, and the life of Random 90s Sports Guy of the Week, Jeff Montgomery.

We should probably note that there's no clean ending on this episode. Just kind of forgot to edit one in. We're a work in progress.
