Poor Boy’s Banter
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.

This is it! Our first full-length episode! It's our first foray into the world of podcasting so please be gentle ;)
In this episode, listen to us make some rookie podcast mistakes, but more importantly, hear us talk about a local convenience store that was everything a young boy could want (candy, trading cards, and arcade games). But, our transgressions catch up with us and we suffer the consequences.
