Back Through The Basement Episode 20 (Special Edition) - Stinky Slinkys and Shrinky Dinks
Manage episode 333584913 series 3368712
It's late on the East Coast and it looks like a bomb went off in the basement -- Julee is refueling for the last leg of the marathon through the plastic slotted organizer trays with some hot coffee from her “Hug me I’m Almost Famous” mug (which Tom loves). So strap in, Keepers, for a Special Edition: Julee surprises Tom with a musical gift and some updates on last minute biffing notions AND the tiny Disney figures have a name -- yup! -- Tom did a deep Google dive to find the identity of these vintage guys! We hear the opening of an epic toy in the vintage audio and Shrinky Dinks make their Back Through The Basement debut!! So buckle up for more rando-items, coins and pins (sorry, Julee). To make the pins fun (because Julee is rather anti-pin), Tom launches a Pin Game -- apparently that was the key to opening Julee's slap-happy floodgate. Thank you all for tuning in through these tray episodes -- we hope you had as much fun listening as Tom and Julee had going through them! Next episode they're moving on...through the basement.
Now in their forties, Julee and Tom are reconnecting as brother and sister in THE MOST distant a socially-distant podcast can be in the United States. While recording on each coast (and seeing each other over FaceTime) all the way from Los Angeles (Tom) to Boston (Julee), they start unearthing the core lessons, laughs and connections of their childhood. Plus, Julee has to fight her fear of cobwebs while Tom enjoys the comfort of his office -- yet he CAN'T touch his beloved toys like she can.
As their Instagram bio indicates -- @backthroughthebasementpod -- you can follow them there to see pictures of everything they unearth -- Tom & Julee (actors, comics, voiceover artists & siblings), children of the 80s, must go through all their toys and belongings in their parents’ basement. Oh boy.
