For the first time in Back Through The Basement history, a Playdate hasn’t been able to fit into one episode! New policy: when that happens, the second of the two-parter is a Sleepover! And thus, Jeremy Gates is still going “Back Through” with Tom and Julee. As soon as the three “wake up,” they fall right back into the Mish Mosh Bin and it continues to be a pure ride of joy, laughter and fun -- full of voices, silly banter and hilarious improvisation. Oh yeah: and this episode has the first three-way “Index Card Game” ™ on the podcast! There’s nothing better than sharing your toys and time with an old friend. Thank you for all you do, Jeremy, for being a Keeper and thank your visit with us -- here’s hoping we’ll have you going Back Through The Basement with us again!
Now in their forties, Julee and Tom Antonellis are reconnecting as brother and sister in THE MOST distant a socially-distant podcast can be in the United States. While recording on each coast (and seeing each other over FaceTime) all the way from Los Angeles (Tom) to Boston (Julee), they start unearthing the core lessons, laughs and connections of their childhood. Plus, Julee has to fight her fear of cobwebs while Tom enjoys the comfort of his office -- yet he CAN'T touch his beloved toys like she can.
As their Instagram bio indicates -- @backthroughthebasementpod -- you can follow them there to see pictures of everything they unearth -- Tom & Julee (actors, comics, voiceover artists & siblings), children of the 80s, must go through all their toys and belongings in their parents’ basement. Oh boy!
