A quick note to any parents out there.

The following episode is clean,

but it does briefly hint at some adult themes.

We did our best to edit it in a way

that would go over the heads of younger listeners.

But if you want to completely avoid that

because you have little ears around you,

you might want to come back later.

Okay, here we go.

You're listening to 20,000 Hertz. When I was a kid in the late 80s and early 90s,

I looked like a character straight out of stranger things, poofy brown hair, thick plastic-rimmed glasses, tight white pants, and the most generic high tops you could imagine.

Think Napoleon Dynamite, but less cool.

Now, there's a couple of things you should know about 80s Dallas.

The first is that I was obsessed with professional

wrestling.

Hulk Hogan, he drops a big leg on him! He's now for the cover of the leg, one, two, he's got

a! The second is that when I thought my parents were away, I'd sneakily watch things like

Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street,

and especially Tales from the Crypt. That's the one with the Cryptkeeper, that creepy skeleton

puppet guy.

As a kid, I watched a lot of TV, and back then it meant a lot of commercials.

A double pleasure is waiting for you double-beckone.
