Episode 5 - Dan and Dave Miss the Last Fourth of July

Steve drives a vintage sports car
I've committed to this whole naming convention for the episodes, but man, it's hard...

I like the Rudy kidnapping idea.

That said, it's clear that the world knows he's working on bionics, or had been I guess.

We're still dealing with the thing where people don't recognize a guy who WALKED ON THE MOON.

Season 1 is kind of oh, darker than I remember.  I'll have to see what Dan thinks (I write these things before we record).

Indeed, they're more, oh I dunno, 'Bond-like' I suppose.  Even down to driving cool vintage Euro sports cars.

I guess it took place in Innsbruck as it was in the news as the upcoming Olympic site.

Thanks to today's sponsor, Evel Knievel. 

Steve pole vaults an electric fence
On to the last of the fourth of Julys.

OK, this one is VERY Bond.  Hell, it's almost Dr. Evil.  

Steve pole vaults an electric fence, which is pretty great.

What the hell was Tom Hayden doing there doing the SONAR?

Also, why the active SONAR pings?

Anyway, enjoy!

Episode 1 - Dave and Dan's Fit Population

This title is disappointing, even for me.

As we are doing two episodes per podcast this will present a challenge...

NO BIONIC SOUNDS.

The lack of bionic sounds really takes me out of the show oddly, we'll see how Dan reacts later (in case you haven't figured this out, I write theses 'show notes' in advance).

Population Zero is like half the Andromeda Strain.  (BTW, that's a decent movie).

Oscar Goldman calls Steve 'pal' a lot.  I dig that when done unironically.

I am going to harp on this throughout the whole series, WHY DON'T PEOPLE RECOGNIZE A GUY THAT WAS ON THE FREAKING MOON?

Episode 0 - Dan and Dave Have Six Million Memories of the Show

Every month or so Dan and I will talk about a couple of episodes. You know, like with Steve, except Dan isn't Steve as much as he's Dan Brodbeck, recordist.

We talked toys.

We talked bad effects.

We talked Farrah Fawcett.

We wondered who would want an Oscar Goldman doll.

Generally we just had fun.

Episode 7 - Dan and Dave Run Run From a Clip Show

It's easier to come up with a title when it's only one episode. It's an odd number (13) and we didn't want to bridge the two...
