Welcome to the Basement! THIS IS s2e20 OF the Cartridge and Quest podcast! The Kansas summer heat is absolutely brutal, but we are back in the basement hangout with cold craft drinks and authentic Mexican luchador masks. Trav got completely scammed on the foreign exchange rate for a Nacho Libre mask, while Mike is sweating it out as classic WCW legend La Parka. We are shaking off the heat, cracking open fresh craft brews, and diving into the unregulated world of 1990s nostalgia and pop culture. Grab a spot on the carpet, pour a huge bowl of sugary cereal, and let the good times roll as we take a trip back to our childhoods. Whether you are a 1985 kid or a modern dad looking for an escape from adult life, you are in the perfect place.Episode Breakdown00:00 - 06:43 Opening Banter: Trav and Mike sweat it out in authentic luchador masks while dodging the brutal Kansas summer heat wave and talking about terrible foreign exchange rates.06:43 - 19:18 Retro Rewind: We uncover how the government pulled the plug on cartoon regulations in 1984 and turned Saturday mornings into a giant toy commercial for kids.19:18 - 25:16 What's On Tap: Presented by<a href="https://auburnspirits.com/"> Auburn Spirits</a>.
