Episode 14 - Paranormal & Supernatural

"Listener beware, you're in for a scare!" On this episode of Bygone Bros, Trevor and Kyle honor the spirit of Halloween by discussing notable paranormal/supernatural phenomena through a nostalgic lens. From ghosts to aliens to Bigfoot and various other cryptids, there's a lot of a weird stuff out there that influenced the stories we loved growing up... but how much of it is real? Did Trevor really see a UFO, and Kyle a sleep paralysis entity? And what on earth is "Batsquatch"? Tune in, rewind, and find out!

Episode 13 - 40 Years of Super Mario Bros.

Let's a-go! On this episode of Bygone Bros, Trevor and Kyle honor the show's namesake by running through the history of the Super Mario Bros franchise. From the humble NES to the Nintendo Switch, and many multimedia spin-offs in-between, the last few decades have been big for hammer-wielding plumbers... but which games stand the test of time? How has the franchise evolved, and where may it still have room to level up? And, hot take, is the live-action movie from 1993 really all that bad? Tune in, rewind, and find out!

Episode 12 - Back to School

Notebooks are on sale, buses are revving up, the smell of homework is in the air... on this episode, Trevor and Kyle go back to school! In reflecting on K-12 in the '90s/Y2K days, though, there's more than just backpacks to unpack. Which is better: pens or pencils? How are ChatGPT and smartphones impacting modern education? And why can't we find any evidence of Tigger saying "ticondorugia"? Tune in, rewind, and find out!

Episode 11 - County Fairs

Fair enough! Or is it more than enough? On this episode, Trevor and Kyle return from summer break to talk about a quintessential occasion of the season: county (and state) fairs! Herdsmanship, carnival games, scones... there's a lot to love. But are these rural gatherings what they used to be? What was putting on a martial arts stage performance like? Which snacks or attractions might make you puke? And where can you find some good knock-off Labubus? Tune in, rewind, and find out!

Episode 10 - Halloween: Special!

What's the next major holiday? That's right! On this episode, Trevor and Kyle get a head start on autumn by talking about Halloween and creepy media in general. From pumpkin-carving to pop-culture costumes, Spooky Season has always been fun... but is it what it used to be? What was the best trick-or-treating candy? Are "haunted house" attractions a good idea to venture into? And what movie is so scary that even Trevor can't watch it? Tune in, rewind, and find out!

Episode 9 - Holidays Gone By

It's Christmas in July! On this episode (OK, recorded last December), Trevor and Kyle are here to beat the heat by talking about the winter holiday season. Whether it's gingerbread cookies, sledding outside, or gaming indoors where it's warm, there was a lot to love about December back in the day... but how much still remains? Is eggnog any good? Is "All I Want for Christmas is You" overrated? And is Tim Allen indirectly responsible for people misspelling Santa's name? Tune in, rewind, and find out!

You rang? On this episode, Trevor and Kyle talk about, well, talk! From the early days of online messaging to the Y2K-era flip phones currently seeing a revival--and the social media that was to come--what can we recall about the communications tech of yesteryear? What's the pros and cons of snail mail versus email? What was "ringtone rap" all about? And does a Bluetooth headset make you look like a chump or not? Tune in, rewind, and find out!
