Poor Boy's Banter is a nostalgia-fueled podcast where funny childhood stories collide with vintage toys, classic video games, and a slightly more adult sense of humor. Hosted by two early Gen X nerds who grew up with minimal supervision and even less money, each episode dives into the weird, hilarious, and sometimes questionable moments that somehow turned into great stories. Hear tales about toy destruction, early video and computer gaming addiction, a missing Boba Fett, swing set death traps, BB gun close calls, and near death experiences mostly due to stupidity. These episodes will be released in byte-sized snippets to be easily digestible on that drive to or from work, while you’re in the shower, on the crapper, walking your dog, waiting on your wife while she shops at the mall or husband while he shops at the hardware store (or vice versa, no judging), bedtime, waketime, waiting on that new game to install on your game console, or on your earbuds during that important work meeting. We hope to see you soon in our geekcave. Please bring snacks.

  • Rabbit Ears Be Gone!
    Jun 28 2026

    In this episode, we talk about the day we got cable TV. The cable guy did not have great social skills, but neither did Roger. Plus, we mention Godzilla, Skinemax, (uh, I mean Cinemax), Benny Hill, the drawbacks of antenna TV, Roger changing channels with the power of his voice, recording Johnny Carson and Saturday Night Live, and lots of other things...we were all over the place in this episode.

  • My Dad Can Beat Up Your Dad!
    Jun 21 2026

    In this episode, we honor our fathers for Father's Day. Both of our fathers have passed but we wanted to celebrate them with some stories that respect their memory and pay deserved reverence for the men that they were.

    We discuss our dads' ability and willingness to address function over form, their ingenuity and engineering skill, and being good role models. Included: One dad defies convention by selling Avon while the other addresses our tendency to "sport cuss" at a young age with a restrained act of behavior modification that made it's point without a single word being spoken.

  • When McDonald's Meant More
    Jun 16 2026

    Join us this time as we talk about the era when going to McDonald's was a special treat and not an everyday thing. When we were kids, a meal at McDonald's was a big deal, not a convenience as it is seen nowadays. We talk about graduating to "big boy" status of getting a Big Mac instead of just a cheeseburger, Star Trek Happy Meals, McDonaldland calendars, a McDonald's Grand Opening that attracted half the town, and Roger trying to avoid getting in trouble by telling his parents his Big Mac may have had a previous owner.
