Tom and Julee stumble upon an unopened Star Trek TNG Trivia Game prompting Julee to try her hand at “techno babble”. Ummm, not her strength -- more Tom's domain. Hey, at least she’s no longer referring to ALL heavily-made-up aliens "Klingons"! Baby steps. Now, they may not have made a big dent going through the basement but they certainly help convince each other that they’re doing well! Ha! In this episode, they do unearth fun stuff: toy instruments, a school diorama and a classic Fisher Price toy! And we at Back Through The Basement want you to share your Haiku for a #myquarantinehaiku / #backthroughthebasementhaiku contest! Submit on Instagram and Facebook!
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.
