About this listen

Spring is right around the corner, and the boys are dreaming about their next adventures, including a bit of travel, odd jobs around the house, and getting packed up for a big move.

Grab your joysticks because we're dusting off our old hand-held video games and vintage gaming consoles to figure out if they're still fun or not. From the old Mattel football games to the Commodore 64 and Pong, we spent a lot of time as kids watching VERY low-res dots bounce around. What was your favorite vintage video game?

Where, oh where, are you tonight?? If you can sing the next few sentences with the lines from that Hee Haw song, then you are our type of people. If Hee Haw was still a 'thing' nowadays, who would be hosting the show? Any current country stars willing to get a raspberry in the face and "THHHP" you were gone??

In general we're a pretty positive bunch, but every now and then we encounter some disappointment in our lives. We whiparound with some things that have recently let us down. Don't worry - there are still quite a few good laughs in there!
