Episode 146: This week the show welcomes back Mr. Lee Olson! And today we'll be having an interesting discussion about some random topics from the past. Questions like, were items and places actually better back in the 80s and 90s than they are today? Do we really miss Blockbuster video? Were sitcoms actually funnier back in the day? Or are we just romanticizing our youth and wishing we could all go back in time like Marty McFly? We'll analyze the decline of rock music, video arcades, and present our top picks for TV's Coolest Dads.

This week the show welcomes Mr. Casey Jones to the podcast! I first met Casey at a small bar in North Phoenix about 10 years ago. He was a tiny karaoke host with a big voice and a commanding presence. Since that time he's become a sound engineer for some of the biggest rock concerts and events in the valley... As well as performing as the front man for the local rock band Echo of Alt. 

In this episode we discuss him taking stage with The Bad Wolves in 2018, working closely with rock legend Alice Cooper, his strange hatred for milk, and which 3 rock stars he would bring back to life if he could.
