Ok so Tom and Julee did successfully identify the toy from last episode which looked part Jawa, a little Ewok and a bit snowman: officially it's the 80s throwback doll "Chubbles" -- and in this episode they test to see if he still works! Also the epic tale of ‘Fussy Suck’ the doll continues to unfold. Come laugh along as we finish off the Stuffed Animal Trash Bag Chronicles and meet those creepy toys at the bottom! It's always the bottom of the bag that presents the weirdest stuff. Probably because they were thrown in first!
They're making headway but, in all honesty, in wrapping the stuffed animals, they've still only BARELY DENTED the adventure that is 'Back Through The Basement'.
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 everything 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.
