    Nov 29 2025

    Jeff and Darren follow a natural transition from discussing the musical theme from The Greatest American Hero and The Ronettes in Episode 1 to... Tool and Kid Rock in Episode 2.

    Apologies for the meh audio quality - I'm still learning this stuff... like how to speak directly into the mic.

Believe It or Not (the theme from the Greatest American Hero tv show). Darren discusses Be My Baby by The Ronettes. Not quite Billy Joel or Iron Maiden (although we're get there eventually).
