What happens when a curious 70s kid (that’s me) grills his Chat Bot AI co-host with 20 rapid-fire questions—and the AI talks back? In this episode of the Zoinkies! Podcast, I hit Scooby AI with everything from music and monsters to manifesting and million-dollar dreams. No prep—just me asking questions and Scooby answering in real time, out loud. It’s weird, fun, a little ridiculous, and totally worth a listen. Tune in, laugh a little, and see if Scooby can keep up! Support the show

Hey Zoinkers and Shagheads, it’s Curtis back with another blast from the past. Lately I’ve been hooked on a new rock rebel named YUNGBLUD — the singer’s got the swagger, the attitude, and that raw 70s rock star DNA. It got me thinking about the legends who set the stage, the ones who defined what “rock star” even means. So Todd and I threw down our own list of the top 20 rock icons of the 70s on the 70's Buzz Podcast — and then I decided to double down and drop the full list here on Zoinkies....

On the latest episode of the Zoinkies! podcast, I did something a little different. Instead of diving into retro pop culture or regular stuff, I took a personal trip down memory lane. Literally.

I opened up Facebook Memories and pulled together moments from past September 2nds, letting them guide an honest, heartfelt look at what a day in my life really looks like—through the years, through the le...

This list of my Top 20 Summer Adventure Movies is all about that vibe. These films have it all: tropical jungles, scorching deserts, daring trea...

This episode is about three events that were just weird timing. Were they just manifestations, synchronicities or just good old fashioned coincidences? Part one is about manifesting something, part two is about a crazy coincidence and part three is just bad timing (getting hit by a deer). #manifesting #synchronicity #timing Support the show

People often experience these memories in photographic detail, and can recall aspects like what they were doing when the event occurred or how they learned about what happened. I have several flashbulb memories that have occurred over the last few decades. Many of them are well known but a few are more personal. Here is my list of flashbulb memories. #shaggylife #flashbulbm...
