Do you remember the first album you bought? What about that song that spoke to you, and only you, with lyrics that were sent from the heavens directly to your ears? Do you remember where you were the first time you heard your (now) favorite band blast through your speakers and into your life?
Turns out the boys do. Come out and reminisce with them as they look back on their formative years with music. The bands and songs that shaped them, and what those tunes meant to them in the precarious period of adolescence.
Our promo this week is for Round & Round the Podcast. At least one of the hosts is excited that you might listen based on our recommendation!

Travel back to a time seen as primitive by todays standards. A time when life was emerging from the metaphorical primordial ooze. A time when mankind had no idea the greatness they would come to achieve. It was a time of wonder. A time when you'd cheer for a lawyer getting eaten off of a toilet by a giant monster. A time when Steven Spielberg was still trying to use the magic of practical effects!!!
Yes, dear listeners, join the boys as they travel back to good old 1993 as they cover one of the most amazing technological marvels in filmmaking history! Marvel at the stunning emergence of both the best and worst thing to happen to special effects in the last 30 years. And live out your inner child dreams of seeing some big old dino-sours brought to life with a level of realism rarely matched in the 27 years since.
This week's promo is for The Fortress of Fandom Podcast. Join Garrett as he delves into the all your favorite fandoms. He should fit in nicely around here!

Updated: 2020-04-30: Something was wrong with the original mp3. It has been re-uploaded and should work now.
They're good for dates (just not the first), They're good for a break, they're good for melting your eyeballs and blasting your eardrums, or even just a reason to eat a giant tub of popcorn far from judgmental eyeballs...Movie Theaters!!
You love them, the boys love them, and we all can't wait to get back to them.
This weeks promo is for the Culture Quest Podcast. They are recording their journey to become more cultured by watching movies, listening to new music, and reading stuff. Maybe we could get some culture by osmosis just by listening....go check them out.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy describes Geeksploration: The Podcast as "two earth men, and the occasional third earth man or first earth woman, and even less often an earth child or two, have a chat about a passion they have that will most likely not advance them in life, the universe, or anything. However, they regard it with such fervor they appear to have convinced themselves it will. Definitely better than listening to a Vogon read poetry."
If you've never read these books, do yourself a mind bogglingly huge favor during this time of quarantine and ponder on your life choices, but move quickly on from it and rectify your mistake!
Come surf the Sub Etha waves with the boys as they celebrate Episode 42!
This week's promo is for Mama Never Told Us.

Join the boys live, straight from hell, as they attempt to capture the sight, the sounds, the smells one of their favorite comedy rockumentaries of all time, and the comedy legacy that came from it. Where did they start? Where have they been? And what would they say to us if we were here tonight?If you love mockumentary films, check out the rock and roll creation that started it all with a group that distinguished themselves as one of Britain's loudest rock bands.
Drummers, proceed at your own risk. And have a good time, all the time.
This week's promo is for Not Suitable 4 Adults Podcast. They review the TV shows that they have to watch as parents of small children. They aren't reviewing them for your kids, but more for your sanity. What is it like to watch hours of kids programming as an adult? Well if you have never had small children they will let you know. If you currently have small children they will help you avoid the worst and find the best of it. And if your children have grown you can listen with the satisfaction that you don't ever actually have to watch the shows they are discussing. You can listen to them here.

What do you have planned this weekend? Riding bikes with your pals? Reading some comic books you picked up off the rack at the drug store? Or how about a game of stickball in the street? All of those sound great, but they come after the most essential ritual of any successful Saturday morning... The Cartoons.
This time around the boys are once again joined by their very first guest, Mr. Kyle Smith. Come relive your childhood, or be regaled with tales of a bygone era.
Grab a bowl of cereal and tune in for some rowdy reminiscences!

Also, remember the apology for not shouting out those reviews on the last one? Well, Jon is a doofus, didn't get them on mic, and trying to do a pickup with sub-par equipment after the fact seemed like a terrible way to end the episode... YOUR SHOUTOUTS ARE COMING, PROMISE!!!
