It’s been 20 years since I worked for the big yellow tag. On this episode of You Don’t Know Flack I delve way back into the memory banks and tell a few stories about what it was like working for Best Buy. Not to spoil things but it was actually pretty fun and it got me out of a life of making pizzas. On this episode I talk about working the truck, repairing computers, and a few of the celebrities I met on the job.

This episode of You Don’t Know Flack is dedicated to one of the greatest (and one of my favorite) arcade games of all time — Atari’s 720 degrees! In this episode I talk about the game, my first experience with a 720 arcade cabinet, and whether or not I ever ended up getting one! Also, AT&T Natural Voices shut down their free text-to-speech website and so Crystal has been fired and Crystal 2.0 was hired to read the episode number during the intro.

On the inaugural episode of Multiple Sadness, we take a look at a movie that serves up equal parts black comedy, bad acting, nudity, and cannibalism for dinner: 1983’s Microwave Massacre.

Officially this week’s game is Jumpman, although we also give Jumpman Junior a shout out as well. Both games were released by Epyx for the Commodore 64 in 1983. If you wondered why Jumpman was collecting pumpkins (like I did when I was a kid), you should listen to this episode.

Oh dear. It appears I recorded an episode using my SX-64 and somehow lost the cassette! On this episode I grab the portable mic and head out to the garage to dig through all of my retro junk in hopes of finding it. What all will we find out in the garage? Tune in and find out!
