Maverick - Give Me Back My..

About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges of rebranding a podcast while reminiscing about the nostalgic film Maverick.

From the desk of Pete: What do you do when you rebrand a long running podcast that has a damn good following? In the case of the dummies over at Give Me Back, you do nothing until 10 minutes before the semi-official launch. Normally in the podcasting world, the hosts of the show will meet to brainstorm and spitball the new direction and hit the ground running with a polished show and new bits. Over at Give Me Back, not so much. As my Pappy always said "you can't spit-shine fecal matter"...wait..."bedazzle your excrement"...no that's not right..."polish your poop"...that was close...."rub out a"...oop...I better stop before Charlie puts me in double secret probation again. That said, the show is going through some growing pains with the exception of the film we picked. Maverick (1994) is the dictionary definition of nostalgic entertainment and the fellas gush over all the memories this film bubbles to the surface. Whether you've seen the film or not, go watch it. It holds up and will have you grinning from ear to ear.
