MemeryMission

This is our final episode of our first season. This episode includes more of TJ and Tony’s mother Kathy as well as my father Joel, reflecting on raising us little knuckleheads.  Kathy explains the "Spy Hunter" nickname that we gave her and my father and I discuss his reasoning behind dragging Jimmy and I into a liquor store as 16 year olds (most parents probably would have done the same thing). It also includes some concluding remarks from they guys, summarizing our childhood in Sunnymede.  

If you need a half hour to tune out the world, laugh, or reminisce, this podcast is for you. The first season of MemeryMission is based in the neighborhood that I grew up in, Sunnymede in South Bend IN. You will definitely enjoy hearing stories of us growing up in our neighborhood. I can pretty much promise that you will question our sanity and shake your head in disbelief, but you will appreciate the creativity, dedication, and stamina that we had while running the streets of Sunnymede in the 1980’s and 90’s.

There once was a young avatar,

Who escaped to avoid a spar,

Bone rebelled!

The old man yelled,

"I know who you are! I know who you are!"

The stories in this episode will surely remind you of your childhood! You'll recall when you and your friends staged "fights" to get a reaction out of passing motorists. You might remember when you and your pals played with a BB gun around the railroad tracks. You will never forget when you and a buddy were throwing rocks at a brand new softball field clubhouse resulting in a LOUD crash! Since those stories remind you of your childhood, you'll LOVE this episode!

There once was the Great Poodini

Crossed legs to squelch a zucchini!

Poop was held!

Butthole swelled!

His shorts ended up all steamy!

Every crew has a member that can only poop at home. Right? While running the streets in the early 1990's, we had a friend that would disappear from the group. We'd turn around and see him standing still, legs crossed, face red, holding in his poop. You'll crack up listening to stories of what can happen when you cannot poop on the road.

There once were incredibly bad choices,

Maybe the boys were hearing voices.

"Beats walkin'."

Stupidity talkin'.

Decades later they all rejoices!

Imagine driving down the street in the early to mid 1990’s, looking up, and doing a double and triple take as you see a half dozen or so teenagers hanging off the side of an 80,000 pound moving freight train car.  In this episode, you’ll hear us describe the thrills and chills of being dumb enough to not listen to our parents when they explicitly told us what could happen when you play on trains.

There once was a boy in the "pit",

Who cheated he must admit.

His opponent rotund!

That giant was stunned,

By a face full of chalky green spit!

We loved Tecmo Bowl, Double Dribble, and RBI Baseball on the Nintendo in the late 80’s and early 90’s!  However, we loved getting out of the house to actually play those real sports all the while maintaining our mischievous athletic prowess.  You will thoroughly enjoy listening to entertaining stories of us borrowing electricity for nighttime homerun derby, getting “fouled” by a 7 foot ogre, and playing basketball with a player who’s best offense was gas.  Lastly, Vince McMahon asked US for advice on how we formed our world famous recess wrestling league.  You will NOT believe the lengths that a 3rd grader took to win the day’s main event…. You will spit with laughter!

There once were four dumb asses,

Ignorant to heated, pressurized gasses.

Can in the fire!

Situation dire!

They didn't even wear safety glasses!

If you would have taken a stroll through our neighborhood, Sunnymede, in the early to mid 1990’s, you might have seen random firecrackers flying through the air,  bottle rockets being used as projectiles, sporadic booms at odd hours, and the smell of slowly extinguishing campfires in the morning…  except this was a neighborhood, not a campsite.  In this episode, we share stories that are all based around fire, explosions, bottle rocket wars, and fireworks shows that lit up the night sky over Sunnymede and made many in South Bend mistake Wall St for the Las Vegas strip.  Beavis and Butthead were watching an episode of us, when Butthead chuckled as Beavis chanted, “Fire, Fire, Fire”

There once was a Deebo wannabe,

Scared the shit outta my friends and me!

Ghoulish eyes!

Evil sighs!

Beware the Legend of Michael Lee!

The Legend of Michael Lee was our Deebo in the mid to late 1980's. Except we didn't have any chains or watches to hide, we just had to hide ourselves to avoid flying rocks, his menacing cackle, and his bright red eyes! You'll enjoy listening to us as we share a few tales of our Deebo, years before the movie Friday.

Thank you for listening to our first ever episode of MemeryMission, a podcast where I sit down with longtime friends and capture wild, cringeworthy, and questionable memories from our past, and then share them with you, the listener, in engaging, entertaining audio stories.  

The first season of MemeryMission is based in the neighborhood that I grew up in, Sunnymede in South Bend IN.  You will definitely enjoy hearing stories of us growing up in our neighborhood.  I can pretty much promise that you will question our sanity and shake your head in disbelief, but you will appreciate the creativity, dedication, and stamina that we had while running the streets of Sunnymede in the 1980’s and 90’s.

The first episode, “Tracks, Trails, & Trees'' sets the foundation for season one by introducing the longtime friends who will be joining me throughout the season.  We describe and share stories about some of our neighborhood’s current and former geographical features that helped make our childhood, let’s say, mischievous.

Thank you for listening!

I welcome you to my new podcast MemeryMission! If you are brave enough to listen, you will hear an introduction to the podcast, as well as excerpts from our first season which is based on the neighborhood that we grew up in, Sunnymede in South Bend, IN. 

My vision is to sit down in the studio with decades long friends, capture our memories together, and then share with you in a fun, creative, audio story. Some of these stories are so entertaining (and sadly true), that they need to be shared.  

Over the years when we’re hanging out retelling some of our stories, other people, our wives, other family members, are truly taken aback and honestly question and comment on, first, our sanity, second, "How in the hell are you all still alive?", and third, “You need to write a book or direct a movie because you just can’t make this stuff up!" Well.... we're not writing a book or directing a movie (Hollywood did call but we're waiting until the perfect moment.) We are, however, sitting down in the studio and recording some of our tales of dangerously hitching trains, staging fake fights, pooping our pants, fearing the neighborhood bully, playing illegal homerun derby, almost blowing ourselves up, bottle rocket wars, and so on.

I know you will enjoy!
