The It Was a Thing on TV Podcast Network

Our tribute for Joe Garagiola's birthday takes us back almost 4 decades, to a show that has been forgotten, for good reason.  Kline and Friends' second endeavor was not good, though we know one way a current generation could have gotten into it:  #nobanditnobandit.  (We have had a little too much fun with that lately.)

With the Winter Olympics happening right now in Italy, we present our first-ever "Best of" involving a Live Show as we re-release Greg and Chico's live watch from the Stream Lounge era involving the 1993 Disney movie "Cool Runnings" recorded during the last Winter Olympics in 2022.

When we placed this on the schedule, it was to coincide with a 24/7 stream of the show.  A few days before we recorded, the stream ended.  To make matters worse, due to technical difficulties, the original Revisited show had to be scrapped.  Finally, it became a reality.  Relive the fun of Duke Moosekian, The Handsome Boy Modeling Agency, SPEWEY, and much more as we finally revisit Get a Life properly.

The Squared Circle Time Machine heads to the Manhattan Center as Monday Night RAW returns to the building where it all started as Jerry "The King" Lawler has issued a challenge to Paul E. and ECW to show up in this memorable episode of RAW.

Ever wanted to know the secret talents of NFL players? No? Well, NBC Sports thought otherwise and gave us this competition during the pregame of Super Bowl XXIII, which features four guys and Reggie White showing off their hidden talents to win money for charity with an all-star panel of judges, along with Ahmad Rashad and the star of the box-office hit of 1989, "Who's Harry Crumb?" John Candy? What?

In honor of this event's 40th anniversary this week, we look at a special episode of World Championship Wrestling on Superstation WTBS at The Omni in Atlanta. We have a loaded show with four competitive matches, including the Rock 'n' Roll Express facing the Midnight Express for the NWA World Tag Team titles and Ric Flair putting the NWA World Title on the line against Ronnie Garvin.

Also, we get a cameo from Willie Nelson sitting with Dusty Rhodes and Tony Schiavone at a pool, and an appearance from Gaylord Perry for some reason?

This Sunday, the 60th installment of "The Big Game" is occurring.  We have pulled up some gridiron gems to commemmorate this event.  First, in 1970, football became more popular due to the AFL/NFL merger that year, the start of Monday Night Football, and the booming popularity of "The Big Game."  Earlier that year saw Where's Huddles?  (See episode 451.)  Later, Bob Stewart of Password and Pyramid fame came up with this prediction game where a celebrity and a pro player play "You Make the Call."

As you all know, we were supposed to bring you the Revisited episode of Get a Life today, but as Mike mentioned earlier this week, technical issues in the recording forced us to scrap it and redo it two weeks from now. However, since we have no episode this week, we are releasing our original episode of "Get a Life" from 2022 as a "Best of" for you this week. So enjoy Greg saying "Duke Moosekian".

We recorded episode 606 over the weekend.  There was one problem--Mike's computer was acting up, disconnecting from the web after a few minutes.  Since we utilize the web quite a bit in our preparation and recordings, this was a huge issue.  Mike went to his Surface as a back-up.  The results were horrible, with the audio skipping every few seconds.  Hence, we decided it was best to shelve this episode for now, though we will re-record it as episode 608.  For the record, Mike thinks he has solved his computer issues.

We'll release a "Best of" on Friday to hold you over. The new episode 606 will be released on Tuesday, February 3rd.

It's the finale of the Masked Man arc storyline on the SCTM as Greg and Dane look at the 30th Clash of the Champions from Caesars Palace in Vegas as the Hulkster and the Macho Man take on The Butcher and Kevin Sullivan in a tag team main event. If Vader doesn't ruin the main event and break his retraining order while paying $350 for ringside seats.
