Show Notes

The heroic trinity finally rides again!

On this edition, our heroes Vince (Twitter: @vinsanity09 / IG: @vmostajo09) and Anthony (@murseant almost anywhere) are joined by ‘Special Contributor’ Jeremiah Dempsey (@xjdempseyx on the Instagrams). Finally finding a remote podcasting solution (thanks to zoom.us), the trio get into a topic near and dear to most kids over the last 70 years–Toys “R” Us.

More specifically, the closing down of one of the biggest toy stores in the world and how it got there. This episode takes a strange left turn in the beginning, but they quickly get back on track as they pay respect to Charles Lazarus, get into the fondest childhood memories and experiences, and what was up with that ‘Haunted Lives’ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_M8E3VAtquY) segment about the Sunnyvale, CA Toys “R” Us? (Yeah the heroes say it’s from ‘Unsolved Mysteries’ but we fact check our ish here.)

APRIL 7th is almost here.
Join “Keeping It Nerd” for their very first LIVE show on April 7, 2018 at Caffe Frascati, 315 South 1st St., San Jose, CA (literally about a block and a half from the San Jose Convention Center) during #SiliconValleyComicCon. There will be a panel, it will be fun, there’ll be giveaways, you can’t miss it.

Special Thanks:
– Tha J-Squad for the “Toys ‘R’ Us Jingle Remix”
– Mulle (https://soundcloud.com/mulleofficial) for his song, “Letting Go”
– Reyna (@reynax81) for the promos
– Evan King (https://evanking.bandcamp.com) for “Alpha Channels”, the official theme of ‘Keeping It Nerd’ heard on this and almost every episode of this very fine podcast.
