Bench Time #157: What's on your Christmas Wish List?
Friday Dec 11, 2020
Friday Dec 11, 2020
My dad and I go over what's on our Christmas wish lists this year and we discuss the importance of the 80's and early 90's comedy movies that we all loved to watch. There are so many quotes that we could talk about for hours from the Christmas Vacation movie alone so we enjoyed some laughs early in the episode and then got into what we're working on. The artwork for this week's show is the better version of the 3D printed tunnel portal that I'm printing!
We'll have another episode next week, then my dad and I are taking a 2 week Christmas break and will return the first week of the new year. We've gone a long way straight through and just want to enjoy the holiday weeks with our families after a hard year... Here's to a positive 2021 for every one of our listeners!

Bench Time #148: The Reenacting Episode (1)
Friday Oct 09, 2020
Friday Oct 09, 2020
A lot of you asked and we delivered... The first reenacting episode. We went through a TON of stories and jumped around a bit, but it was a blast to relive some reenacting memories with each other and if anything we had fun going back into some great memories that we shared. We discussed maybe a part 2 at some point later because there are a TON of great stories. Maybe we do one about our past in other areas too? Might be a fun break every few months for us mentally too.
