Back In Our Day

Episode 34: Looking Back at Vegas While Looking Ahead to the New Year

We sit down and unpack our Vegas trip from last August — the memories, the laughs, and the moments that made us realize how much things have changed since back in our day. We also catch up on recent holiday events and talk about New Year’s resolutions, expectations, and whether we actually stick to them. Equal parts storytelling, nostalgia, and family banter. When did Vegas start hitting different for you?

Episode 33: Remember When Flying Didn’t Suck?

In this episode of Back In Our Day, we hit the road (and the skies) for an adventure that takes us from the lush green of Oregon State to the bright lights of Las Vegas. We’ll share stories from our recent trip—family visits, unexpected moments, and everything in between—then take a nostalgic turn to remember what traveling used to be like. Remeber paper maps and disposable cameras? Smoking sections on planes and those classic rest-stop souvenirs? We look back on the golden era of travel and how it compares to today’s world of TSA lines and digital boarding passes. Was it simpler back then—or just different? Buckle up, this one’s part road trip, part time machine. 💬 Got an old-school travel memory? Share it with us!

Episode 32: Back When Texas Theme Parks Were ACTUALLY Fun

In this episode of Back In Our Day, we buckle up and take a ride through the wild world of Texas theme parks and entertainment from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s. From the magic of Seaworld to the early days of Fiesta Texas and Six Flags, we reminisce about ticket books, giant turkey legs, and the thrill of wooden coasters that rattled your bones. We also take a look at how today's parks compare—and let’s just say, things have definitely changed. Were things really better back then… or are we just nostalgic? Either way, you're in for a fun ride. 💬 Got a favorite park memory? Share it with us!

Episode 31: We Moved Out, But the Memories Stayed!

In this episode of Back In Our Day, we reminisce about the unforgettable (and sometimes chaotic) experience of moving—whether it was leaving home for the first time, settling into that first apartment, or hopping from one place to another across Texas. We also take a detour into jury duty stories, adulting milestones, and other random moments that shaped our journey through the ’80s, ’90s, and 2000s.

Turning 15 is a special milestone and when you throw a party like these...it rivals the costs of some weddings that we've been to. But there were some lessons learned, perhaps a few things that would have been handled differently...listen in to hear all about it!
