Throwback Thursday

October 9, 2014 Episode 5
Cast: Steve Rees, John Kensil, Dr. Frielgood, Midnight Martinez, Nick Vollmer

Hello Darling! Get ready for a super fun classic TPAH. So many exciting things happened in this one. I don't even know where to start.

For their "Throwback Thursday," the guys shared things that they wrote years ago even if they don't think it's great stuff now. Of course it's great stuff, though.

Steve shared an emotion-stirring essay entitled, There's A You Shaped Hole In My Heart. He also gave us a somewhat scandalous editorial he wrote in college called, You're Not Getting My Kidney, Yankees Fan. He claims to have received a big ol' "A" on that in his creative writing class. I choose to believe him even though he can't prove it. He brought his original paper with the grade and the instructor's kind remarks on it to the Laffcast campus for the show that night, but forgot it when he left. *Chris Scamuffa threw it away. Luckily, we still have the letter Steve wrote to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!

John Kensil shared some of his Goddamned Tweets from the past and they still hold up today. Nick turned in some fun throwbacks including the story of his original YouTube show, Poo Poo Bloggins and a fantastic letter his uncle wrote to Cinnabon.

Steve hit us with another throwback later in the show. Rick Dees' Top 10 Tips for Personal Success from way back in 1996. This led to an exciting round of  the first ever What Would Rick Dees Do? Quizpuzzlegramme Extravaganza Spectacular. Everyone really sucked at this game even though Steve had pretty much given them the answers. It's good stuff.

Midnight Martinez shared something he'd written in his notebook in 1994, Babes of 1994. But, right before that, it happened....the first installment of MOOSE DUMPS!!!! Whoo hoo!! If you're already in the TPAH universe, you know that every October we're treated to Midnight Martinez's spooky stories that he wrote as a child / pre-teen. This is one of my very, very favorite parts of TPAH and I look forward to it every year. You will too!

There are too many great quotes in this episode to list, but here are my top four:
"Rick Dees hates the blind" - Steve (Also my pick for alternate show title')
"Circle does not get the square, motherfucker" - Steve
"I'm surrounded by a bunch of jabronis...." - Steve
"When someone's insane, they call their opinion a manifesto." - Nick

I told you there was a lot going on in this one.

Enjoy episode 5!
