In this episode the boys go over to Texas to visit Mike's Aunt Kate only to find that her farm is under siege from Black Bart and his posse. Paco and Jef talk you through this traumatic experience and have a great time doing it. Hilarity ensues as Mike ends up pulling a phone off the wall and Micky and Peter play dress up to try and recruit some cowboys to help fight off Black Bart and save the farm! The Woolhat of Mystery gives us three new songs to add to the ongoing Monkees countdown...do you agree with where they end up?

Podcast Valley Sunday 45: Monkees In Texas

This week the Monkees take a job on a boat but Mike sets sail after the first scene! Paco and Jef swashbucklingly take you through an episode that has plenty of ups (an acoustic off-the-cuff version of Tear The Top Right Off My Head!) and great music (Star Collector music video at the end!). With an Honorary Slip In tune (Tear The Top...) entering the ongoing Randomatic Countdown, what will the other two be?????? **WE DO NOT OWN THIS MUSIC IT IS USED FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY**

Podcast Valley Sunday 44: Hitting The High Seas

Paco & Jef walk you through what is the most bonkers Monkees episode so far: A Coffin Too Frequent. For an episode that only takes place in the Monkees pad it's chocked full of zaniness, costume changes and random storylines...and it's crazy even for The Monkees! Join us while we see if the coffin in the boys living room really does bring a dead man back to life & stick around for three new songs for the Randomatic Countdown! **WE DO NOT OWN ANY OF THESE SONGS. THEY ARE USED FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY**

Podcast Valley Sunday 43: A Coffin Too Frequent

Get ready for a special reaction episode! Paco & Jef found a video on YouTube of the 1986 Reunion show at the Greek Theatre where Mike Nesmith got onstage with the band...but other than that they knew nothing about it! So take a seat and listen to the show as well as what our boys think about what they're seeing. Without the usual structure Paco & Jef turn this episode into a chill-sesh at times and we all hope you dig it! **WE DO NOT OWN THESE SONGS. THEY ARE USED FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY**

Podcast Valley Sunday: 1986 Reunion Reaction Special

This episode explodes out of the gates with a live version of "Goin' Down" and it never lets off the gas! Paco & Jef take you to an out of the way town where the Monkees make enemies with a local biker gang, the Black Angels. The boys are in fine form and are really starting to get free with the storylines and scripts and it's a great time! The Woolhat Of Mystery gives us some memorable songs...but you'll have to listen to find out if it's in a good way or a bad way! **WE DO NOT OWN THESE SONGS AND ARE USING THEM FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY**

Podcast Valley Sunday 42: The Wild Monkees

This week Paco & Jef take you behind the scenes of the theatre when The Monkees (minus Mike) have to save a dancer from her evil dancing partners who have hidden a microfilm in her shoes! She falls in love with Peter (a nice change of pace) and Micky and Davy are called into action and hilarity to right the wrongs! The Woolhat Of Mystery takes a week off and Paco & Jef dust off the Honorary Slip In special feature and they each pick a song that's not on a Monkees proper album and delve into the unreleased, B-sides and live tracks and fit them into the Rando-matic Countdown! Which songs will they choose? Will you agree with their list placement? Check out the episode and see - or hear, rather!

Podcast Valley Sunday 41: The Card Carrying Red Shoes

On this special episode of Podcast Valley Sunday Paco gets to have a quick conversation with everyone's favourite drummer, singer, actor, comedian: Micky Dolenz! Speaking with Micky was a surreal experience that I hope every Monkees fan gets to have! Just by talking with him you can tell that he's a professional meet-and-greeter and can keep the conversation moving along. It was a thrill to be able to ask him questions that I've had for a long time and hopefully one day I'll be able to get deeper with some other topics. I hope that you enjoy this conversation with Micky! (PS: at one point he asks if I would like a "white one or a black one" and he's referencing the drum head that he's going to sign...I took the classic red Monkees logo on the white background!)

Podcast Valley Sunday: A Conversation with Micky Dolenz

This week Paco and Jef join the boys on a deserted island looking for Blackbeard's treasure after Peter trades his guitar for a treasure map! This episode is packed with people and with scenes - there's a lot happening here so let P&J unfold this one with you and have a great time. The Woolhat Of Mystery offers up some gems and a dud...but you'll have to listen to know what's what!

Podcast Valley Sunday 40: Monkees Marooned

This week the boys find themselves down south or up in the mountains or wherever Hillbillies are found and end up in the middle of a town-wide feud! Somehow Davy has to marry Ella May, a girl on the eve of her 16th birthday because her father doesn't want her to be an old maid! Trust us: high jinx ensue. With zero mentions of the boys being in a band called the Monkees this episode is a full-on adventure of zaniness that you've got to hear to believe.

Podcast Valley Sunday: Hillbilly Honeymoon

This week Micky is trying to woo a girl on the beach but gets picked on by a muscle bound dude and he seeks revenge by joining Weaklings Anonymous, run by the guru, Shaku. Davy and Peter (no Mike in this episode!) try to talk him out of it and have to run some high jinx to get their point across. Paco & Jef break down this Mike-less episode and pull three new songs out of the Woolhat of Mystery...are they jams or jellies? You'll have to listen to find out! (But we say that every time!)

Podcast Valley Sunday 38: I Was A 99 lb Weakling

We're back with another special episode with Dolenz, Jones, Boyce & Hart and this time we're checking out their live show from Tokyo in 1976 hot on the heels of their album (which we checked out a while back)! Paco and Jef hadn't listened to a note of this live album until they hit record so you'll be able to hear their reactions as they happen...there are highs...and there are lows...but it's a great slice of Monkees-life in the ultra-weird mid-70s. Join us for a listening party as we delve into Dolenz, Jones, Boyce & Hart: Live in Tokyo!

Podcast Valley Sunday Special: Dolenz, Jones, Boyce & Hart Live in Tokyo Reaction

There's also an instalment of the always popular "Honorary Slip In" where Paco and Jef each pick a song that's not on any of the albums to add into the Randomatic Countdown! What two gems did they choose today? I guess you'll have to listen to find out!

Podcast Valley Sunday 37: Art, For Monkees Sake

This week Mike runs for Mayor because the boys pad is going to be torn down so the current Mayor and his second in command can surround the city with parking lots. Will Mike have to leave the band because he's going to be mayor?! You'll have to listen to find out!

Podcast Valley Sunday 36: Monkee Mayor

What makes "Everywhere A Sheik Sheik" such a crazy Monkees episode? Well, for starters Davy has the chance to fall in love and become a prince but he decides that he's too young to get married and passes on the girl! Yes, you read that right. With other highlights like the debut of "Love Is Only Sleeping", and the continuing streak from the Woolhat of Mystery this episode of Podcast Valley Sunday is one for the books!
