YDKF Episode 173: Movie Theater Memories
Inspired by Doug McCoy's new podcast (In The Theatre), I decided to share some of my own movie theater memories as well. In this episode you'll hear about my first viewing of Star Wars, that time Grandma caused us to see Supergirl on Thanksgiving Day, and the time some girl threw up behind us during Cloverfield, among other exciting stories.

YDKF Episode 172: Car Audio
In Episode 172 of You Don't Know Flack I talk about car audio, from the crappy components I purchased at flea markets and installed in my first cars to the $2,400 system I had installed in a small vehicle that caused me to damage my hearing. Good times!

YDKF Episode 170: Arcade Guts
In this week's episode of You Don't Know Flack, I talk about arcade guts -- what you'll find inside most machines. This episode is split almost evenly between "Loading Time" chatter and actual content, so get ready for some rambling!

YDKF Episode 169: Cruises


In Episode 169 of You Don't Know Flack, hot off our vacation I kick off 2016 by talking about cruises: how they work, what to expect, and some of the things you can expect to find on a cruise. Not terribly retro, but I hope you'll find it interesting and entertaining. The next episode will be all about the inside of arcade games, so hang in there for that one. In this episode's Loading Time I talk about Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Martin Luther King Day, and the Love Boat.

YDKF Episode 168: The AP Story

In this episode of You Don’t Know Flack, I talk about the time I was interviewed by an AP reporter about my collection of classic games. The article ran in hundreds of newspapers, led to dozens of phone calls, got me a free TI-99/4a collection, and a cursed plaque.

YDKF Episode 167: IBM PC

While the Commodore 64 will always be my favorite child, the IBM PC is certainly the hardest working. In this episode I talk about my history with IBM computers, from our first PCjr back in 1984 through the first 386 I purchased in 1994. I also talk about some of my favorite games from that era and that stupid talking parrot program that came with the original Sound Blaster.

YDKF Episode 166: Horror Movies
On this very special Halloween edition of You Don’t Know Flack I traipse through my history with horror movies, starting with the first ones I watched as a youngster and ending with my thoughts on modern horror films. Happy Halloween!
PS: I recently moved my microphone and apparently I hit it a dozen times during this episode. Pretend a ghost did it.

Summer’s over and class is in session! On this episode of YDKF I talk about the five (!) different colleges I’ve attended — not particularly technical in nature, but I thought you guys might want to know what I’ve been up to over the past month. The next two episodes will both be related to retro games, so hang in there!

YDKF Episode 163: Best Buy
It’s been 20 years since I worked for the big yellow tag. On this episode of You Don’t Know Flack I delve way back into the memory banks and tell a few stories about what it was like working for Best Buy. Not to spoil things but it was actually pretty fun and it got me out of a life of making pizzas. On this episode I talk about working the truck, repairing computers, and a few of the celebrities I met on the job.

YDKF Episode 162: 720
This episode of You Don’t Know Flack is dedicated to one of the greatest (and one of my favorite) arcade games of all time — Atari’s 720 degrees! In this episode I talk about the game, my first experience with a 720 arcade cabinet, and whether or not I ever ended up getting one! Also, AT&T Natural Voices shut down their free text-to-speech website and so Crystal has been fired and Crystal 2.0 was hired to read the episode number during the intro.

YDKF Episode 159: MAME
On this episode of You Don’t Know Flack I talk about MAME, the arcade game emulator. I talk about some of the different types of computer and devices I play MAME on (including things like PCs and the Raspberry Pi), some of the different controllers I use, and touch on some of the advantages of playing MAME on a computer over building a MAME cabinet. I think about half of this information has appeared in other episodes of YDKF, but I’ve had MAME on the mind and so this is what came out. The sub-theme of this episode is, “enjoy your hobby the way you want.”
Also check out these related YDKF episodes about MAME Cabinets, the iCade, the Raspberry Pi and my Emulation PC.
