A flashbulb memory is a vivid memory about an emotionally significant event, usually a historic or other notable event. 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 #flashbulbmemories #irememberwhereiwas Support the show

Todd and I got lucky enough to interview Gene Simmons in 2017 but missed out on the Paul Stanley interview.

They aslo started their first Rock & Brews Casino in Braman. Here are the interviews seven years apart. #shaggylife #kiss #genesimmons #paulstanley Support the show

Stayton and I have been best friends for 50 years now! He moved into the neighborhood on W. Broadway and we became instant companions. One of the places we spent hours and hours was his house. Stayton had his own room upstairs, a trampoline in the backyard and the garage in which we built our haunted mazes. Therefore we spent much of our time hanging around his place.His home at 1523 W. Broadway is currently for sale and they had an open house this weekend. I decided to pop in and take a stroll down memory lane. I don't think I've been in the house in over 40 years. I've narrated some video of the home to give you all a glimpse into our 70s lifestyle. Enjoy!#1970s #seventies #70s #70smemoriesSupport the Show.

On this episode I get a little cosmic and full on hippie with the subject of synchronicities and manifesting. These are signs or winks from the universe. Listen to all of my stories about things I've manifested and what the results were. I also have had lots of synchronicities happen throughout my life. Many things that have happened are beyond coincidence and make you wonder. #manifesting #synchronicities #winksfromtheuniverse Support the Show.

Hey Shaggheads! Here’s an update or Part 2 of my Million Step Challenge. I didn’t get my million steps in 30 days. But! I did get them all in 29 days! How, why, what, when and where you might be asking. This blog post/podcast episode is a recap of my million step adventure.I call this an adventure because that’s what I turned it into. It was something I didn’t know if I could do at age 61 and every day I wasn’t sure how I was going to squeeze in all of my steps.This did turn into a big month long adventure and I think I inspired several people to start walking and others to up their steps to another level. #onemillionstepsSupport the Show.

While doing a Walk This May Challenge I got the bright idea to see if I could get a million steps within one month? How'd that even happen? Can it be done? Listen up!Support the Show.

Hey Shaggheads! I’ve got a doozy of a blog post and podcast episode for you today!

Almost two decades and it was over in a flash.Ever wonder what it’s like to live the dance life and be a Dance Dad? Here’s a snapshot of life with a dancer.

BONUS EPISODE! Hey Shaggheads! I just realized that I had never done a podcast episode about my first eclipse and what it was like to be at totality. Todd and I had done an episode on BuzzHead Radio talking about our experience as eclipse virgins. If you had not heard that episode here it is. We also talk about looking forward to the 2024 eclipse which is a little funny. I am embedding this file on CurtisTucker.com with the blog post about our trip. #eclipse #eclipsechasers #eclipsevirginsSupport the show

Whelp, I guess once you go chasing two different eclipses seven years apart you could be considered an eclipse chaser. A person who chases eclipses is known as a umbraphile, meaning shadow lover. Umbraphiles often travel for eclipses and use various tools to help view the sun including solar viewers also known as eclipse glasses, as well as telescopes.I was totally oblivious to chasing an eclipse and what the zone of totality was until 2017. After I started reading about the stories people were having at totality I figured it would be a great adventure to experience myself.With very little planning Todd and I hopped in my car and drove to Fairmont, Nebraska to sleep in the SUV, in a park. We were in awe of everything because we had no idea of what to expect. It was a very outdoorsy one-with-nature feeling.I started planning the 2024 eclipse chase at least a year before it happened. The main objective was to drive to Grapevine, Texas and stay with my best friend and all watch it together. His house was in the

This is the story about the yellow rent house we lived in from about 1974 to 1978. That would have been from sixth grade through ninth grade covering my entire junior high years. I created dozens of great childhood memories while living in this two story home. It’s where I was living when I met my best friend Stayton. It made me one of the five Broadway boys which all lived on W. Broadway.1902 W. Broadway wasn’t that special as far as a rental house was concerned but it sure has a million memories that were created within its walls. I think of the good times I had with my family and my friends while growing up there. It’s nice living in town and purposely driving by just so I can take a trip down memory lane.Support the show
