How well do you know your sibling? Do you know what they would stock up on for food for the Corona-pocalypse? Julee guesses what Tom has which leads to a discussion of favorite childhood snacks and memories. Oh don’t worry -- they DO get a little work done going through the basement while reminiscing on what it was like to save up to "send away" for a Boba Fett and the magic of going to Toys 'R' Us!
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.
