JEFF'S BIGFOOT UFO CONSPIRACY BAND
Nice Pull!

Proof You Wasted Your Youth Wisely...

Prepare for a mind-bending trip down memory lane as these Gen-Xers dive deep (really deep) into the pop culture rabbit hole that shaped their SoCal childhoods during the infamous 70s and 80s. The stakes are low (very low) as Chris and Jeff navigate a bizarre and long forgotten minefield of historical minutia that will have you frantically searching the interweb for proof that any of this stuff actually happened. So sit back, relax, and do something that Chris and Jeff never could as kids -- buckle up!

About the Hosts

Chris Alvarez

Chris Alvarez

The younger half (by four days) of Nice Pull, Chris is a man obsessed by Chuck Cunningham's disappearance, his way too young exposure to The Exorcist and the undeniable charm of Ted McGinley. Chris occasionally finds time in the day for more constructive endeavors, like explaining to his wife and kids the differences between Dick York and Dick Sargent. Someday he'll complete one of those brilliant unfinished novels, so he's got that going for him...which is nice.

Jeff Thill

Jeff Thill

A proud Gen X'er, San Diego-born comedian, and the retro-obsessed co-host of "Nice Pull!" By day, he's unearthing the hidden gems of nostalgia; by night, he's crafting "Conspira-Pop" anthems about Bigfoot and UFOs with his band, Sonic Descent. Clearly his destiny was never to contribute to the modern workforce, but rather to serve as a grizzled tour guide for the baffling wasteland of our shared childhood.
