Happy January, Patronies! We hope 2023 – all 36 hours of it – is treating you well. We’ve been working on our list of show ideas for the new year, and there are already some monsters on deck! After a busy holiday season, we’re actually looking forward to the upcoming “dead months” so we can throw you some real curveballs.

We’re also working on a separate list of ideas for upcoming Patreon bonus shows, and planning a few other things that will be exclusively for you guys here. Stay tuned!

Before we start our 2023 run of episodes, we thought we’d highlight some of our favorite episodes from 2022. (Which FYI was scientifically proven to be the longest year ever.) Relive ‘em below!

Jay’s Picks:

1) The Summer Sleepover! This was our hour-by-hour breakdown of what it was like to be part of a sleepover in the 1990s. We covered everything from the games to the food to the late night television and beyond. Listen here! 

2) A Very McDonald’s Christmas! Our most recent episode may still be fresh in your minds, but if you missed it during December’s chaos, it’s one of our best. Join us as we talk about eight different vintage McDonald’s Christmas promotions. Listen here! 

3) The Stranger Things Experience! (Bonus show.) If you’re on our $6+ tier, this Patreon-exclusive episode from last May covers our adventures at The Stranger Things Experience – an interactive, high-priced haunt that ends with you walking around a ST-themed mall! (Say hi to Jackie.) Listen here! 

Matt’s Picks:

1) Creepshow 2 on WPIX! Our dive into a 1990 TV broadcast of Creepshow 2, and on our favorite network to boot! We jump around the tape to not only talk about the movie, but many of the commercials that aired during it. Listen here! 

2) Eight Great Cereals! The first of two back-to-back episodes about our favorite cereals ever, so if you listen to both, you’ll be hearing about *sixteen* different boxes of cereal. Unheard of! This first one covers everything from Cinnamon Mini Buns to Bill & Ted’s Excellent Cereal. Listen here! 

3) The 2022 Halloween Awards! (Bonus show.) Given how much fun we had with this show, it’s safe to say that it’ll become an annual tradition. Join us as we hand out awards to the Ghost Pepper Whopper, the McBoo Pails and more of 2022’s best Halloween stuff. Listen here! 

Have fun with the flashbacks, and we’ll be back soon to kick off our 2023 run of episodes!

Hoping for another "things that are blue" show lol

ah yes, the Mountain Dew Mouth episode.

OMG have you guys ever checked out the Hidden Mickeys podcast with Natalie Palamides and Carrie Poppy? They are such the female analogues to Jay and Matt - good friends with a geek passion (dark side of Disney), of roughly the same generation, with that chemistry that is so rare in podcasts. There's more specific parallels like one episode where Natalie raps and another where Carrie admits to a questionable fashion choice, to which Natalie says something like, "If I would have been there I would have said you look dope", like Jay said when Matt wore the Dick Tracy costume to Sizzler. One difference is that they eventually went the non-funded route so they only put out about 1 podcast per year now just like Jay and Matt back in the day.

Thinking of wearing a vintage Dick Tracy costume to a steak restaurant just to see if anyone gives me a thumbs up. (Matt, Jay, Natalie and Carrie don't count)

Or Gabe Walters. I already know I can count on his support.
