My friend Jess Murray joins me as we historically analyze the game show Supermarket Sweep! The conclusion we come to is fairly obvious, but also super important in larger context, this show accentuates consumerism culture in America. Check out an episode from the 60's and from the 90's, it is a very entertaining show to watch!

We further discuss what a traditional Thanksgiving is through an episode of Roseanne! How is this different from the last episode and why is it important that Roseanne shows us this view of an American family?

I am at camp this week! (yay!) We delve into a, "how to" video from the 1940's and talk about a, "traditional American Thanksgiving." But what is a traditional American Thanksgiving even? To this particular video it means a lovely time spent with friends and family while displaying good manners! Is this what Thanksgiving is to everyone though?? Heck no! Let's keep exploring! But until then, here is the primary source goods!

Sam Miller joins me again as we talk about a Pay Per View from 1999 on Battle Bots! This is a really fun one! Here is the PPV event that you don't have to pay for because it's from 1999 and already happened! Ain't history a bargain?!

Sorry for this being late! It's a fun one! Fall is here and when I think of seasons in general a cartoon that comes to mind is Little Bear! The show was created in the 90's, but looks like something out of the 50's and 60's! A very whimsical, light hearted episode that will hopefully put you in the mood as it gets colder outside!

Where In Time Is Carmen Sandiego was another popular show on PBS! I talk aout why this was so helpful in inspiring an interest for history in children! One note, I talk aout the music genre, "rockapella" but I elieve accidentally call it, "rockabilly." Sorry aout that, but anyway, here is the episode!

This one went up late and I apologize! It is worth it though, because it will also be on youtube as a video episode in the short future! My amazing friend Sam Han is a whizz with video production and we are working together to bring more content like this! Your patience is appreciated!

In this episode I delve into the show, "Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego" and how it got kids thinking about geography and travel. It was and is an excellent kids show! Here is one where the entire Edmonton Oilers hockey team gets stolen! Yikes!!!

This is a special one. Comedian, father and lovely human being Sam Miller joins me as we talk about the reality show, "Cops," why it was popular, and also why the system it documents is problematic. Sam has been to jail for a life changing amount of time and has been able to turn his life around through tough personal work by himself and help from others. Here is a charity that helped Sam out, and can help folks going through similar things Sam has been through:

Thanks so much for listening!

In 1961 Roger Maris broke Babe Ruth's untouchable single season home run record and it took 37 years for it to be broken again. What seemed like this wonderful event for baseball was tarnished by the realization that steroids helped Mark McGuire and Sammy Sosa surpass that record. Here is a documentary that came out in 1998:

And here are the events that unfolded years later, this being his court hearing where he lies about his steroid use in 2005:

This is another better late than never podcast! I was gonna do it last night but didn't want to whisper, and also didn't want to wake anyone up! Canelo vs Kirkland happened a week after the Mayweather Pacquiao fight and was different in every way! If you watched that fight and didn't like it, this might be more your style! Thanks for listening, sorry it is late again!
