Jon also shares the journey behind his brand-new debut single You Got This, available now on all streaming platforms, and what's next for his music career.  Also this week, things get weird as Tom dives into two insane sports, from Polish MMA chaos to an Asian hanging kicking fight—yes, really! We also break down the craze of American remakes of British shows, including the bizarre idea of Deal or No Deal... on a beach?! Plus, we talk about a bunch of new music releases, Tom roasts Jamie's pronunciation (again), and the boys catch up on their weeks, with Jamie having proud parent moments and Tom hyped for the Six Nations rugby. Callum's Teachings are back, and this time he's got deep thoughts including asking why Slinkys and springs are different??. Tom's Journal delivers another round of the funniest internet finds, and Jamie's audience participation challenge asks: If you had a warning label, what would it say?

Richard James, an American naval engineer, designed the Slinky toy in 1943 in Philadelphia, and it has been around for more than six decades. In the toy market, it was an instant hit...but it was discovered by accident..James knocked a spring off a shelf at work and watched as it stepped in a series of arcs to a stack of books, a tabletop, and finally to the floor, where it recoiled and stood upright. Over the next year, James experimented with several sorts of steel wire until he discovered a spring that could walk. Slinky is first shown at the U.S. Toy Fair in 1946...and it sold out in 90 minutes and sold more than 100 million Slinky units in the first two years making him an equivalent of $1 billion in revenue....In 1999, Slinkys were featured on a U.S postage stamp and in 2000, they were inducted into the toy hall of fame.

In 1943, Richard James, a naval engineer, was in the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard working on a project that used springs to hold items up on moving ships, when he accidentally knocked down a spring and watched it "walk" and then coil itself up neatly on the floor. It was an idea-inspiring moment, and along with his wife, Betty, a plan was hatched to create a new toy. Betty combed through a dictionary and came up with the name "Slinky," and in 1945, with a 500 dollar loan, the couple created James Industries. At first, the Slinkys weren't selling, but when a demonstration table was set up in Philadelphia's Gimbels Department Store during the 1945 holiday shopping season, the James's sold 400 of them for a dollar each in 90 minutes—and people wanted more.  

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2024. On this week's episode of Earthling Entertainment, Joe & Ryan jump into the legend of the Jersey Devil. Then they discuss a new thermal imaging photo of yet another UAP that can't be easily explained. Do you prefer a plastic or metal Slinky? Finally we close our episode with a trivia game on the 1980s classic “Killer Klowns From Outer Space”. All this and more on this week's episode of Earthling Entertainment. 

In this episode of NDO Podcast we visit with Dr. Charlie Bahnson, the Department's wildlife veterinarian. We learn more about the many diseases impacting wildlife in the state, touch on CWD and the status in North Dakota and hear about the grossest thing Dr. Charlie has encountered as a wildlife vet.

Drag out that toybox you've kept in storage and let's root around in there for a while as Joseph and Mike reminisce about old toys like Slinkys, Colorforms, Super Balls, and toy robots (to mention just a few things!) However, the first thing Mike has to do is answer Joseph's VHS SLP Dub Tape challenge and provide six hours worth of recorded media with the theme of "Well I'll Be a Monkey's Uncle". Things are gonna get bananas!

Remember when you could buy a squirt gun that looked like a Kalashnikov? When parents would set their kids free and expect them to take care of their sh*t until dinner time? When 8 year-olds were free to watch hyperviolent dramatic meditations on the Vietnam war and then play with the corresponding heavily-armed action figure? From GI Joes to Slinkys, from baseball cards to invisible dogs, toys play an outsized role in our society. They’ve gone from being kids’ playthings to collectibles, and are now as much for adults as they are for kids. Go fishing with Spider-Man, stage a Playmobil robbery, and join the Meerkats as they reminisce about good toys, bad toys, dangerous toys, and more.

In this episode we are joined again by the lovely Dr Jared Cooney-Horvath, an educational neuroscientist working at the University of Melbourne. Jared's work involves researching the brain, its role in learning and translating what we can find in the research to practical applications for our learning!This time we focus on sleep and what happens when the lights go off! We delve into the important role sleep plays in consolidating memories and strengthening our learning; the damage we can do by pulling 'all nighters'. We also  explore the science behind the morning lark/night owl, whether we all need those golden "8 hours of  sleep" and what exactly is happening when we dream!?Recommendations from the episode:Fringeology (book)Book recommended by Jared, looking at the 'fringes' of science , including a chapter on lucid dreaming and what it taught us about ourselves and our understanding of the brain.How Much Sleep Do Teenagers Need (short You Tube video)From Jared' You Tube channel, 'From Theory to Practice', discussing a research paper  that examines the fundamental linkage between sleep, learning and memory formation! Why We Sleep (book)A fantastic read looking at what we know and understand about the importance of sleep in every aspect of our life!If you enjoy the podcast please do leave us a review on iTunes and if you'd like to contact us you can find us on Instagram (give us a follow!) @thehippocampuspodcast and Twitter @hippocampus_podYou can also email us at thehippocampuspodcast@gmail.com! We are always open to hearing suggestions for future episodes and future guests!

It's late on the East Coast and it looks like a bomb went off in the basement -- Julee is refueling for the last leg of the marathon through the plastic slotted organizer trays with some hot coffee from her “Hug me I’m Almost Famous” mug (which Tom loves). So strap in, Keepers, for a Special Edition: Julee surprises Tom with a musical gift and some updates on last minute biffing notions AND the tiny Disney figures have a name -- yup! -- Tom did a deep Google dive to find the identity of these vintage guys! We hear the opening of an epic toy in the vintage audio and Shrinky Dinks make their Back Through The Basement debut!! So buckle up for more rando-items, coins and pins (sorry, Julee). To make the pins fun (because Julee is rather anti-pin), Tom launches a Pin Game -- apparently that was the key to opening Julee's slap-happy floodgate. Thank you all for tuning in through these tray episodes -- we hope you had as much fun listening as Tom and Julee had going through them! Next episode they're moving on...through the basement. Now in their forties, Julee and Tom 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. As their Instagram bio indicates -- @backthroughthebasementpod -- you can follow them there to see pictures of everything they unearth -- Tom & Julee (actors, comics, voiceover artists & siblings), children of the 80s, must go through all their toys and belongings in their parents’ basement. Oh boy.Support the show (http://www.thickskincreations.com/store)
