KnockBack, Episode 217: Childhood Bedrooms
Added 2022-04-04 16:01:04 +0000 UTCIt's time for us to once again go back in time, not to celebrate and discuss a movie, video game, or TV show, but rather our own childhoods. Specifically: Our bedrooms growing up. These were our fortresses of solitude, places where we can regroup, study, be alone, and generally do whatever we want. Video games. Toys. TV. Computers. And, yes, schoolwork as well. Lots happened in our childhood bedrooms, which is why we're pleased to spend some two hours talking about our fondest and funniest memories of the places where we laid our heads to rest at night as children, and spent an awful lot of time in between, too.

Oh my God I hadn't thought of Disco Duck in probably 35 years. Now I can't get that song out of my head. Thanks Dagan. ๐

2022-04-13 00:09:09 +0000 UTCGod, listening to Dagan talk about 16-17 staying up until 4AM and missing the bus was very relatable. The soundtrack to those couple of years was my mom screaming at me ๐ Sometimes Iโd hear her wake up, around 5 or 6, and have to creep to bed hoping she didnโt hear me. Made it through high school by the skin of my teeth. What a different time. And now Iโm successful and doing cool stuff I never thought I wouldโve dreamt of! Funny how life flips on its head.

2022-04-11 23:18:40 +0000 UTCListening to this episode a little late but i need to voice my support for these types of episodes. They're so good and I enjoy them so much. Nothing better than listening to Colin and Dagan waxing poetic about their nostalgic memories.

2022-04-08 01:44:46 +0000 UTCThank you! Nostalgia is inherently sad. It's good to embrace it. =)

2022-04-08 01:44:23 +0000 UTCIt's true, that's all it was that we needed!

2022-04-08 01:44:19 +0000 UTCThat would be a fun one to get to.

2022-04-08 01:44:01 +0000 UTCI believe, in the future, there will be bohemian people who totally eschew interconnected technologies. The third episode of Black Mirror (I believe) goes into this.

2022-04-08 01:43:17 +0000 UTCA fun listen, me growing up as a military kid aroud the world I had 25 rooms and 14 schools. So many phases of my life. I remember having a tv with 5 channels, i remember later having a remote control, music system ect. Posters of music artist, sexy women and videogame ads I'd tear from magazines. For us all bedrooms are an important aspect of our lives. I miss some of them like old friends.

2022-04-07 10:47:45 +0000 UTCI'm really looking forward to hearing from you sisters about being forced to share a bedroom in a brand new house. And of course the infamous clown night light. Someday. Thanks for another trip down forty years of nostalgia lane.

2022-04-07 01:50:47 +0000 UTCThis episode absolutely blew me away. This is the the reason the word nostalgia exists. Some parts of this episode made sad and made me long for the feelings of my childhood bedroom. Iโm having trouble formulating words but Iโm just absolutely blown away by this episode. Thank you guys for doing this. P.s. we must protect Dagan at all costs. Heโs a national treasure.

2022-04-05 17:40:57 +0000 UTCI had an Orion, 13" tv in my room, and I loved it. I had cable, and my game systems. That was all I needed.

2022-04-05 14:21:57 +0000 UTCLoved the โThe Fifth Elementโ mention, thatโs my favorite movie. Iโd love to see a Knockback on that some day.

2022-04-05 13:37:47 +0000 UTCAcid is great Colin. Really and truly allows you to be honest with yourself and can be very therapeutic. My friend gave me one tab at a Tool show back in February, first time taking acid in years. After coming home from the show, I talked to my partner for some hours, just a great conversation about life and whatever. After they went to bed, I listened to a song by my favorite band (who broke up in January.) I just started balling my eyes out. Weeping and moaning and getting my nose all blocked up and nasty like. After a while I didn't even know why I was crying. It just felt good to cry, so I kept doing it. Haven't had a panic attack since. So that's something.

2022-04-05 12:16:22 +0000 UTCI remember the first time I was at my mom's after my nephew was born and he was going through all my old toys.... It damn near brought a tear to my eye when he was playing with my old wrestling and ninja turtles figures simultaneously like I did lol

2022-04-05 04:32:16 +0000 UTCAlso: I really dug the side conversation about being from the last fully analog generation as kids. I was born in 1990 so I was in high school when the early stages of social media of the mid-00s were really starting to get its hooks in everyone. I've always felt like people my age are sorta the bridge between the "good old days" and the technological revolution of the 21st century.

2022-04-05 04:30:36 +0000 UTCI remember not actually having my own room until I was like 16 so it was always a shared space with my younger brother and while it was annoying at the time, especially when I was just getting to the age where I'd want to have my first girlfriend over in 9th grade haha, I now look back on those days fondly now. Especially since my brother is now probably my best friend (super cliche I know lol). We spent many late nights eating Pizza Rolls and playing Mario Kart, NFL Blitz and the N64 wrestling games together that we talk about to this day.
