Back Through The Basement Tom Antonellis & Julee Antonellis

Season 6 comes to a close with laughter and treasures. This season finale has Tom and Julee pulling a Club out of the deck that's been governing the direction of this season.  A Club has them going through a special area of the Basement, leading to consulting The Game Book, and looking Back at some great memories.  Oh yeah -- and one of them elicits a spit take from the other.  There is still so much more to uncover in the Basement!!  Stay tuned for Season 7.

Now in their forties, Julee and Tom Antonellis are reconnecting as brother and sister in THE MOST distant a socially-distant podcast can be in the United States.  While recording on each coast (and seeing each other over FaceTime) all the way from Los Angeles (Tom) to Boston (Julee), they start unearthing the core lessons, laughs and connections of their childhood.  Plus, Julee has to fight her fear of cobwebs while Tom enjoys the comfort of his office -- yet he CAN'T touch his beloved toys like she can.

Oh boy!

Julee has a toy at-the-ready with which to kick off this episode.  Over FaceTime, Tom catches the briefest glimpse of the tiniest corner of the toy and knows it instantly.  From there, it’s...Index Card Games for points, Weebles that wobble (but don’t fall down), whether or not Tom cares for a see-saw,  whether or not Julee cares for cartoon ducks,  tumbles down research rabbit holes, a wonderful AirTamer commercial (our Season 6 Sponsor) written and performed by Tom and Julee, with original music by Nomi Abadi *, some inimitable banter from “Rini and Tidi” ™,  Julee reports some tough news, bully history memories bubble to the surface (we quickly suppress those), a hilarious M’Update ("Mom-Update" = a check-in from Mom on the accuracy of something we’ve covered), Jack Nicholson impressions, a WICKED surprise card-draw that prompts a great toy from the archives -- as well as original characters improvised on the spot by Julee and Tom…..and don’t get Tom started on eggs!  It’ll all make sense in this Special (longer) Edition - Episode 68 “Weebles and Uncle Dumps”!  Make some eggs and give it a listen!!

We’re playing chicken with the plumber!  With a leaky toilet on Tom’s side of the recording session, there’s a silent but ticking clock threatening Tom and Julee throughout today’s episode.  But that doesn’t stop them from unlocking a new kind of trivia game, reviewing the overall point system of the podcast and discussing arcane notions -- for example:  do you know who Barbara Millicent Roberts is?  Not only that but before the arrival of the plumber, Tom and Julee unleash a “big, monumental shift in ‘Back Through The Basement’ toy unearthing” (Julee’s words).  Can you imagine what that must mean they've found?!  You’ll have to listen to the episode to know.  And you better do so before the plumber arrives!!!
