Magicians, Candy Cigarettes, and the Shrouded Mysteries of Farrell’s Old Fashioned Ice Cream Parlor.

Jeff and Chris welcome their first-ever guest, magician Rod Detrick. Listen in as they delve into the dangerous, delicious, and downright bizarre world of their childhood! This week, they’re tackling the magic that scarred a generation, the candy that rotted their teeth, and the ice cream parlor that warped their minds.

From the perilous finger-chopping magic tricks that could have led to a 70s playground massacre, to the skull-crushing terror of lawn darts, they expose the sheer lunacy of their youth. Then, they transport us to the hallowed halls of Farrell's Ice Cream Parlor, a place where 1920s nostalgia collided with air raid sirens, baseball-sized jawbreakers, and the legendary "Zoo" sundae—a sugary monstrosity delivered on a stretcher.

But the real magic happens when Rod reveals the dark secret of Farrell's: a manager who documented his past life as a Neanderthal and a secret space-alien church in El Cajon. This episode is a wild ride through the forgotten corners of childhood, where candy cigarettes were cool, player pianos ruled, and the biggest danger wasn't a sugar crash, but a rogue guillotine. Prepare for a "Nice Pull!" of epic proportions, complete with sound effects, historical inaccuracies, and enough sugar to send you into a nostalgic coma.
