Rainbow Brite! Just one of the 80's classic toys Tom and Julee unearth as they continue rummaging through the seemingly bottomless stuffed animal trash bags. Join them for wonderful throwbacks, painful decisions (biff, keep, sell or donate), and much laughter when they "split hares" over what potentially was either The Velveteen Rabbit (?) ... Pat the Bunny (?) ... some kind of bunny. We hear lots of Christmas morning with young Tom and Julee in this episode. Oh -- and Julee imitates Tom!! Enjoy!
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 what 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.
