About this listen

 Imagine this: two middle-aged guys, best buds for a whopping forty years, sitting in the heart of Arizona's sunbaked landscape. They're not just discussing the weather or reminiscing about the good ol' days—no, they're diving deep into the rich world of music, movies, and (what they think) is pop culture. And, you're invited to listen in! This is the podcast where genres clash, opinions fly, and laughter is inevitable. Each episode is a rollercoaster ride of incessant ramblings, with a sprinkle of desert dust.

Our hosts, Ken and Doc, have seen it all—from the rock inferno of the '70s to the synth-wave and heavy metal of the '80s, right up to today's music chart-toppers.

But it's not all about the tunes. These guys are film buffs, dissecting everything from indie horror flicks to blockbuster bangers. And let's not forget their musings about living in Arizona, where they share the quirks of life in the Grand Canyon State—from scorpion encounters to Southwest history. They've got stories that'll make you laugh until you cry and insights that'll make you see your old favorites in a new light.

So, grab your headphones and a cold one, find a cozy spot under the shade of a saguaro, and tune in to the "Beyond the Rabbit Hole" It's more than a podcast—it's forty years of friendship, set to the soundtrack of life.Copyright Ken and Doc Music Social Sciences

  • S2 E8: Saguaro, Sahuaro, Let's Call the Whole Thing Off

    S2 E8: Saguaro, Sahuaro, Let's Call the Whole Thing Off
    Oct 6 2025
    In this delightfully dusty episode, Ken and Doc dive headfirst into the linguistic desert of Arizona, where even the cacti spark debate. Ken insists on “Sahuaro” like a true old-school Sonoran, while Doc defends “Saguaro” with botanical conviction—sparking an unwitting pronunciation standoff that’s as thorny as the cactus itself.

    But the real chaos begins when a monstrous dust storm rolls in, toppling trees like matchsticks and coating everything in a fine layer of desert drama. The duo wrestles with the absurdity of calling these storms “Haboobs”—a term that sounds more like a rejected band name than a meteorological event. Cue the jokes, the disbelief, and a few awkward attempts to say it with a straight face.

    Then things take a darker turn as Doc unearths the chilling tale of the Oatman Massacre—a brutal 1800's ambush that left seven members of the Oatman family dead and led to the capture of young Olive and Mary Ann Oatman. The story unfolds by tracing Olive’s survival, her years among the Mohave, and the haunting legacy she carried back into settler society.

    Expect dry wit, historical grit, and a whole lot of desert weirdness. This episode is a whirlwind—literally and figuratively.

It's the 50th anniversary of the great white "porker" fish. So naturally, what better way to commemorate it than by discussing its... 47th anniversary?! Ken and Doc dive into watching the film in 2022, both in IMAX and 3D. Our hosts struggle to stay afloat through the murky waters of the rabbit hole (and spilled drinks). Thanks for tuning in.
