Der Mann ist ein echter Storyteller! Obwohl Rob unseren prominenten Gast noch als Young Gun aus der Bayer Leverkusen Dynastie (1992-1998) kennt, stellte sich in dieser Episode schnell heraus, dass an Denis Wucherer aka „D-Dub“ auch ein hervorragender Geschichtenerzähler verloren gegangen ist. In knapp 1 Stunde Pod erkunden wir die Anfänge der Leverkusener Legende, besprechen seine verpasste Chance bei der EM 1993 dabei zu sein und erinnern uns (lückenhaft) an seine „Nacht in Mailand mit Bruce Willis“. Unser charismatischer Gast, der schon wie bei seiner Rolle als Kommentator während der EM letztes Jahr die Dinge stets beim Namen nennt und dabei nicht den Hauch eines Blattes vor den Mund nimmt, erzählt, warum er als Spieler nichts so richtig konnte, aber von allem ein bisschen und wie er als Trainer besonders von Dirk Bauermann geprägt wurde. Wir sprechen außerdem über den Keller von Chris Welp (RIP), die Couch von Demond Greene und die Rolle, die ein 7,5 Tonnen LKW immer wieder in Denis' Leben spielte. Das und noch viel mehr gibt‘s hier und jetzt in unserer extrem unterhaltsamen Jubiläumsfolge vom All Ball! Podcast! Checkt‘s aus! Episode Guide: 00:00 - 02:25 // 50 Folgen All Ball!

Hello again, ye faithful, and welcome to another year of outstanding conversations about geek culture here at Geeks Explain It All. To get the new year started off in style we are proud to present a follow up to our most popular episode ever, The Dr. Who episode! When we last left our intrepid podcasters, Stratosphear had tentatively stuck his big tow in the deep pool of the Whovian universe. Now, most excellent study that he is, he now does a synchronized cannonball with D-Dub into the deep end An in-depth discussion of ALL the doctors follows. Is this the end of the discussion? Hardly!!! We ask you, the fans, to do two things: 1). Check out the episode at these coordinates. 2). Contact us at geeksexplainitall@gmail.com or feedback@geeksexplainitall. 3).

Well, fear not, true believers, for we here at GEIA remember those things too, and are prepared to discuss for hours(well, one hour, anyway) our favorites and why we like them. Check it out here. It feels like we barely scratched the surface on this one, so if you have a favorite that we didn't get to contact us at geeksexplainitall@gmail.com or feedback@geeksexplainitall.com. Many,many,many,many,many,many,many,many,many,many,many,many,many,many,many,many, many,many,many,many,many,many,MANY thanks to Joe Eiden for filling in for this episode!

This is it! Episode 50, a milestone for us and we are once again reviewing a film from our go to actor, the one and only Vincent Price! This episode has it all, feedback from multiple sources, a distracted D-Dub and the insight you have come to expect from Stratosphear! We are going to attempt to get back on a regular schedule, D-Dub has just started a new job and it has some funky hours but we are going to power through! Next up? Yog, Space Amoeba!
You know that thing where a character on a show is played by more than one actor? Or their character is written off the show, only to be replaced by a different character(who basically fills the same role as the old one)? Strat and D-Dub make fine sport of this topic, and there are only two bleeps in the whole episode!!! Check it out here. Our topic next time(with a special mystery guest) will be comic strips, a brief history and some of our favorites. As always we can be reached at geeksexplainitall@gmail.com or feedback@geeksexplainitall.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Y'know, we here at GEIA would like to say, for the record, that real life sucks. Why, you may ask? Well, for one thing it keeps getting in the way of us getting to record your(and coincidentally, our) favorite show. But eventually the planets align and we come with a gem of a show like this one. And what do we thrill the masses with this time around? Why none other than a discussion of a subject near and dear to D-Dub's heart since he was a kid, the great ape himself, KING KONG! Check it out here. We are attempting to get back on a regular schedule, so please be patient with us kids, We've got some really good shows that are coming up in the next few months. In the meantime ,as always, contact us at geeksexplainitall@gmail.com or feedback@geeeksexplainitall.com R.I.P. Robin Williams. You were inspirational and you will be missed. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Just to do something a little different , this time around our discussion is not about a specific pop culture topic, but rather about different ways that we experience said pop culture. We get into the history of both recorded music and video, and how that has affected our perceptions of things. Check it out! Many, many thanks to Joe Eiden for suggesting this weeks topic. If you have an idea for a future show, or just like to hear your name said out loud, contact us at geeksexplainitall@gmail.com or feedback@geeksexplainitall.com Our topic next time will be a subject that is near and dear to D-Dub's heart: The history and phenomenon of... KONG! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Ever wondered what happened to your favorite bands? Well, this time around we discuss OUR favorites and what happened to them(eh,close enough). We discuss, Little River Band, Greg Kihn, and several others. WARNING: If you are a die-hard fan of Michael Stanley, you might want to pass this episode up. If on the other hand, you want some good dirt and hear D-Dub lose his s**t, by all means take a listen! If you have suggestions for future shows, suggestions on how we have betrayed a Cleveland favorite, or even Post-hypnotic suggestions, go to geeksexplainitall@gmail.com or feedback@geeksexplainitall.com and as they say, let 'er rip!!! Since this was about artists that we love(or used to anyway), we thought next time around we'd talk about who we hate. Well, hate is maybe TOO strong a word, but we will be asking "How do these people keep finding work?????" Until next time, remember, if there's an exception to every rule, is there an exception to THAT rule? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Everything you ever wanted to know about Disney theme parks! Yeh, that's what we wanted to discuss, but unfortunately the constraints of time prohibited us from talking about ABSOLUTELY everything. Still, this turned out to be a very fun episode, all about our various experiences with the parks, and also(as always) some pretty cool trivia. Check out our meeting of the Mouse here. As stated, we actually ran short on time, so there were a few stories, such as D-Dub's abandoned Waterpark adventure that we were unable to get into. To find out the whole story, or just 'cause you'd like to talk to us, contact us at geeksexplainitall@gmail.com or feedback@geeksexplainitall.com Our subject next time around will be a discussion of music acts( and possibly others) that we haven't heard from in a while; Whatever happened to...? Til next time, remember, you better behave;don't make us turn this podcast around. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Okay, you caught me, I know I said last time we were going to talk about about Bill Murray. What can I say, D-Dub's and my brains are so frozen, we're lucky we can remember where either one of us live, much less what we're talking about next week! Anyhoo, we are having a discussion this time around of cartoons from our favorite decade, the 80's! Turns out for the most part we prefer the music of the decade, but we still had a few interesting points to make. You can catch it here. Lots of great sound clips and theme songs in this one, so sit back and enjoy. Or stand. No pressure. If you have a comment or question about this or any other episode please contact us at geeksexplainitall@gmail.com or feedback@geeksexplainitall.com Next time we will be discussing the career and films of Bill Murray. Really. C'mon, we wouldn't screw with you guys two shows in a row. Or would we? Nah, just kidding! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
G'Day, Campers! It's another fine episode we have for you on tap at Geeks Explain It All. This time our scintillating episode is all about : Who Would Win? In various superhero battles, that is. For those of you who love when D-Dub and I go off on things that have nothing to do with the actual subject(and let's face it, who doesn't?), you have reached the motherlode, True Believers! From Abba(yes, Abba) to Space:1999, we discuss everything you can imagine and then some. And yet, it's all perfectly relevant to the subject at hand. You can listen to this slice of internet goodness, seared to perfection here. Our topic for next episode will be the music of the 80's! Get out your big hair and skinny ties! Got some 80's stuff you want us to discuss, let us know at geeksexplainitall@gmail.com. As always, check out our sister podcast at Darkwind's Secret Lair. Finally, like us on Facebook. Til next time, remember, Live Long on Prospect(Cleveland joke). See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
So it's come to this:Anyone that knows ANYTHING about D-Dub and Stratosphear knows that we are Trekkers from WAY back. So why did we wait until the 8th episode to discuss it? Well, good things are worth waiitng for, and this episode is definitely a good thing. We have an in-depth discussion of the history of the franchise, along with our ideas for a possible reboot of the TV franchise(since the movie reboot did phenomenally well). What are those ideas, you may very well ask? Well, you'll just have to discover for yourself here. I am confident our thoughts will amaze and delight you(after all, they amazed and delighted us!). Our topic for next week will be Superhero Smackdown: Who would win? We will be discussing the theoretical outcomes of conflicts between Superman Vs. Hulk, Batman vs. Daredevil, and others. Do you have an imaginary battle between your favorite comic heroes? Let us know at geeksexplainitall@gmail.com and we'll mention it on the show! Be sure to check out our sister podcast at Darkwind's Secret Lair Til next time kids, remember, don't try this at home:We're Professionals! P.S.Like us on Facebook!

Another pulse-pounding episode from the GEIA crew has been posted for this week! Our subject for this week is the legacy of the master of disaster himself, Irwin Allen. Y"know, for a subject that I was nowhere near as well-versed in as my partner, D-Dub, I actually had such a great time discussing and dissecting these shows, that I am going to endeavor to watch more of these classics on my own. I guess it's true what they say, everything you experience goes toward making you a more well-rounded person, even talking carrots. What talking carrots, you ask? Well, you can find out by listening to the show here. Our subject for the next show is a big'un, the Golden Age Of Comics. If you have a favorite from this era that you would like us to discuss, please contact us here. As always, our sister podcast is Darkwind's Secret Lair. Until next time campers, remember,if pro and con are opposites, wouldn't the opposite of progress be congress? Shalom, amigos. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Well, after the the truly demented heights(or lows?) of our Looney Tunes Episode we decided to scale things back a bit for this weeks discussion of The Beatles On Film! Just as the Beatles themselves attempted to get back to their roots with what eventually became Let It Be, We're giving you loyal listeners a sort of retro episode(for us anyway). That means no sound clips, no background music, just D-Dub and I having an old-fashioned discussion on The Beatles film career. Still a pretty spiffy episode, if you ask me(and if you didn't why are you reading this blog?). Any road, you can sample its' Beatle-y goodness here. Our next two topics we will tackle will be Narrative Rock, which is my weird term for Rock Operas, Concept Albums, anything that tells a story(and rocks, hopefully!), followed by a look at the DC Comics Animated Universe. Like (or don't like)what you hear and want to let us know? Drop us a line at geeksexplainitall@gmail.com Check out our sister podcast at the Secret Lair Drive-in where we are doing our review of our first year by awarding the Lair-ies for the films we loved, (as well as those, well, not so much). Be good kids, and til next time, remember, you should never drink and drive(even though to get a drink, you have to show them something that says you can drive). See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Well, we're definitely trying to stretch our limits and knowledge this week! Our subject is what I like to refer to as Narrative Rock, which is a catch-all name for Rock Operas, concept albums, i.e., anything with a storyline. I know it was an educational experience for D-Dub and I learned a few things myself. Check out this slice of EPIC-ness here. Our topic we tackle next time around will be a look at some of our favorites from the DC Animated Universe. Comments? Questions? Queries? Posers?
