Six Pack and a Pod

Here we go. How much time you got for us to talk about quite possibly the greatest decade in Film-making? From a horror film dominating the Oscars, to a new beginning for the greatest franchise in history. But that’s not why you’re here. You want to know what we think. ‘93 or ‘94? Oh we’ll have that debate.

Was there a better time to be a fan of Chicago sports than in the 90s? Yeah! The Aughts! But the Aughts did not have Michael Jordan. Well, they did, but we dont talk about that. Lets celebrate the greatest team of the decade. Let’s talk the greatest sport of the decade. Is it Baseball, Football, Basketball? The answer may surprise you. Football had its Cowboys, and Baseball had its Steroids. Basketball had Jordan, the Dream Team, and that ‘96 draft. Ok, the answer may not surprise you.

So this was a last minute subject for us. Does this squeeze in to TV? Do we talk Films? The answer is yes. But mostly TV. Animated Series’ came into their own in the 90s. Hell, Spielberg was making cartoons. So its relevant. Growing up 90s these are what truly shaped us. The stories we learned and the voices who told them.

For our next installment of weaponized nostalgia we go with the other medium that consumed our pubescent years. The Video Game boom. From the original home gaming system of the 90s. The Super Nintendo. To the incredible evolution of the Playstation 1 and the Nintendo 64. We’ll break down some of the best games of the decade and gush on the ones that had a huge impact on our lives.

We were children in the 90s. Of course our first voyage is Toys. We’ll break down the top selling toys of each decade and share some personal experiences on a few of our own. Power Rangers. Check. Tomagotchi. Check. Pogs. Check. We’ll do some deep diving on the history of wrestling figures. Plus plenty of love for the phenomenon known as the X-men, and the weekly action figures released by Toy Biz.

Wherein we get balls deep on some activities that involve balls…and cleats.  Brian had to go play dad at home, so we slid @SMJuiceman across the table as we deep dive on the current state of sports and what is wrong and/or right with the NBA.  We spend 99% less time talking about LeBron James than ESPN does and you are welcome for that, no guarantees on Steph Curry though.  Does Adam Silver deserve to be elected to public office?  Does Kyle wish that he was a little bit taller?  Does Chris wish that he was a baller?

As Duane “The Rock” Johnson once said, ”It doesn’t matter”…you’re going to listen regardless of what we type here.

Wherein we answer your question. If your question was “Does Six Pack and A Pod like to Chat Chit sports?” Answer: “Is Bob Kraft where he’s at today because he pays for tug jobs in Florida spas?” Yes. The answer is yes, we do. But we’re drafting some help from someone who literally gets paid to talk sports. See that. “Draft” is a football reference. Told you we knew our shit. Kyle Michalski(@SMJuiceman) is here to vent on many things Chicago Sports and his thoughts on the Big 3 Leagues. Sorry hockey and soccer. But we’ll also share some of our favorite moments in Chicago sports history. Discuss why none of us like Michael Jordan. HaHaHaHa, yeah right. Take some bets, play some what-ifs, and if we run a little long we’ll be back for Judgement Day.

Wherein theories are conspired and assumptions are merely Swift gossip. We mess around a little with space and time. Twenty Nineteen, bitch. We stand by the new terms. So starts the next installment of possibly the next series. Would Spiro pardon Nixon? Which bullet was the actual assassination bullet? Was it just real smooth planning, or a real moon landing? Also, hate to be the ones to break it, but Paul’s still dead.  One quick detour on Boondock Saints, then back to the smoking gun. Many thanks to Mr. Patrick Bragg for joining us and bringing the tin foil hats. And as always, Play and Share.

 

Twitter: It’s Private!

Gmail: Yeah Right,  Like we trust email. 

Facebook: Hahahaha. Nice try, FBI.

Wherein we discuss the future of the pod.  Hey! You remember us!? But not like worm hole future, cause we know that’s not possible...... Yet.  We also bore you with some December clean up. Yay, Christmas thingys! The Holidays are now over, the down time is here, and it’s water cooler question time. 

  What Six things would you wish you had on you* if you were to be stranded on a deserted** Island? 

 

*as in, on your persons, could fit in a pocket, or maybe a small backpack etc...

 

**a Deserted Island. Not a Desert island. Nor a Dessert Island. 

 

So come get stranded with us. And as always, share your thoughts.

Wherein we give you a quick origin story of the pod and then pay our respects to Stan Lee. The only way Six Pack and a Pod can. After a quick thought of John Wayne, we discuss the eagerly anticipated Death Match between Amazon and Wal-Mart. Happy Holidays! But hey, don’t underrate Thanksgiving! Actually, don’t overrate it either. Talk about an origin story. Ooh, that would make some good lyrics...
