Mattyman
Born an infant, Mattyman’s life was forever changed the day he met a street-savvy bruiser known as “Van, like a Truck” at Virginia Commonwealth University. As they hung out in the dorm community room watching “Dirty Harry”, Mattyman’s attention turned to Vannyboy’s arm wound. When enquired the lovable ruffian regaled the man-child with details of his harrowing exploits fighting off a gang at a Piggly Wiggly. Was Truckster for real?
No, no he was not. The wound was inflicted in a dog-walking job gone wrong.
That was the day Mattyman knew this Vannyboy character would be in his life forever, and that he would be stuck with the nickname.
He went on to get an English degree and bide his time until Podcasts would one day be a thing.
Such is life.
Vannyboy
Three incredible events happened in 1969:
- We landed on the moon.
- Woodstock.
- Vannyboy was born.
Having been born and raised in southwestern Virginia, he moved to the big city of Richmond to attend Virginia Commonwealth University, where he met Mattyman one hazy, fateful night.
Holding on to that golden friendship, Vannyboy was blackmailed by Mattyman into doing this podcast before they both got too old to talk.
Being born smack-dab in the middle of Generation X, Vannyboy has a decently clear memory of the 1970s, a pretty good grasp of what happened in the 1980s, a solid recollection of the 1990s, near-photographic memory of the 2000s, and a perfect recall of the 2010s.
But now, at age 53, he can't remember where he put his socks.
