Last week, Amigo Aaron from the Amigo's Podcast came to visit me in Oklahoma City. I took him and his son all around the city, seeing the place I live through a fresh pair of eyes. On this episode I share 10 of the most fun and interesting places I took them, and how much fun it was to do while having Cyclospora (the Taco Bell lettuce nonsense).

Even as a little kid I used to spin records in my bedroom and talk between each one as if I were a DJ. Being a DJ wasn't in the cards for me but fortunately I ended up on the radio a few times anyway. Join me on this episode as I talk about all the times I was on the radio, from winning tickets for giving my middle school the "Royal Flush" on KJ-103 to winning Barry Manilow concert tickets just a few years ago.

Can human beings escape death by freezing their bodies? The good news is hundreds of people have been successfully frozen. The bad news is, none of them have been successfully thawed out. Join Rob and Susan as they discuss cryogenics. Was Walt Disney really frozen and placed underneath the Pirates of the Caribbean ride? Was Ted Williams frozen against his will? What happens when people with good intentions and no money start freezing bodies by putting them in boxes full of dry ice? What happens when a body is brought out of cryogenic hibernation?

I can't lie. This episode is really about basketball. I just named it "Hoopz" because I was afraid nobody would listen to it. In this episode I talk about some of the basketball video games I played as a kid, playing basketball in my neighborhood as a kid, memories of my kids playing basketball at the YMCA, how Oklahoma City tried to steal the Hornets from New Orleans, and how we successfully stole the Supersonics from Seattle.

Toy Bizarre by Activision (1984) is a lost C64 gem that looks similar to the original Mario Bros. platform game but adds just enough depth, action, and strategy to elevate it to a higher platform. Precent robotic toys from taking over the toy store while avoiding Hefty Helga in this classic action platform game for the Commodore 64, TOY BIZARRE!

I did an episode about thrifting on this podcast back in 2013 so I figured it was okay to revisit it 13 years later! A lot has changed in the world of thrifting since then. On this episode I talk about the introduction of apps and social media thrift store sellers along with talk about the Goodwill bins, buying things to flip, and more talk about people pooping in cups. Never buy a cup from Goodwill, they cannot be trusted! Support You Don't Know Flack at Patreon.com/RobOHara iTunes | RSS | Facebook | Twitter | WWW | Patreon | Twitch

It's been 12 years since I last did a show dedicated to Halloween and so I decided that was enough time to revisit the topic. On this episode I'll touch on a few of the topics I covered back on episode 144 (from 2015!) and lots of new stuff, from our 12-foot skeleton and which Halloween songs I'm sick of to all the wonderful animatronics and decorations I've seen at Home Depot, Lowe's, and of course, Spirit Halloween. Happy Halloween to all and be safe out there trick-or-treating! Support You Don't Know Flack at Patreon.com/RobOHara iTunes | RSS | Facebook | Twitter | WWW | Patreon | Twitch
