Hazardous History with Henry Winkler (2025) S1 E2
random000 4 points 6 months ago*.

My brother & I loved Robert Evel Knievel. He had some toys, a van & cycle & I had his Snake River Canyon rocket. But he had the lunchbox. He also had a Planet Of The Apes. I had KISS & Sweathogs.

We shared some Planet Of The Apes toys too that went well with our Star Trek & Big Jim stuff. Most people won’t know Big Jim these days, but he was king when we were kids. His cycles were better than Evel’s. There was Dr. Steel, Zorack (not Space Ghost Zorak), The Whip, Torpedo Fist, lots of others, spies, astronauts, pirates, etc. Those were Mattel while most others were Mego. There was supposed to be a flick about Big Jim in 2022. We had to mow a lot of lawns & paint some fences for that stuff.

I was a real tomboy and most of my playmates were always boys. So I would pretend to be evil Knievel. I would also pretend to be Agent Smart of Get Smart from the 70’s and it would drive my sister crazy. I’m still a tomboy I love to tinker with things and drive fast. We had some really amazing role models growing up, on t.v. and in music bands. No wonder we are the best generation that ever survived lol. I often wonder how I did survive my childhood with the stunts we pulled huh? I love talking to you about the old days because you are like an extension of myself or like one of my best friends that I played with we have so much in common.
