My dad was like, I know about them evil spirits talking to these kids from beyond. I don't like the idea even up on that show. Welcome to Kansas QB, a podcast about growing up in rural Kansas. Hosted by two former high school quarterbacks and now here are your manly hosts, Steve Jewel and Tyler Martin. Yeehaw. Ride em, cowboy.

Growing up in the cornfields of the Sunflower State, we were inseparable brothers from different mothers who also happened to be sisters. Our moms, not us. Decades later, he's in Iowa and I'm in Missouri. But we'll always have Kansas and we'll always be the QB. Howdy, folks. Welcome to the show. I'm Steve. He's Tyler. And today's episode is entitled Circle Square One.

Hey, Tyler. I got smacked in the face this week with baseball. It's early February. We have a snow day today as. And I am thinking thoughts about baseball. Well. Oh, how quickly the seasons change. It's. Yeah, it's funny. You guys had some snow on the day we're recording. We had nothing up here. Everything around us did. But. But.

But seriously, though, Case has been practicing for about a month now. Matty has had baseball still. Still basketball practice and games. Matty has had softball, pitching and hitting all winter long. They both have practices tonight. Yeah, it's. It's. I guess it's here now. Nothing that we ever did when we were young, but. Wow, that's good. We go. So, Casey, I've been practicing for a the travel team.

I mean, they play tournaments. I mean, Yes. What we would consider a travel team. Yes. They don't they don't go like crazy all over the Midwest. But now a lot of the same guys that play on this basketball team in baseball team, the same coaches that that that do a good job with these guys. They have I mean, we're in Des Moines.

So you as you know it's hard to find space to practice anything. A lot of gym wise, turf wise. So they've been in cages up in Ankeny, which is near Des Moines for about a month now. And yeah, I mean, but, but then you get to you play some of these teams that literally do this year round and it's like, holy cow, if we're not doing that, someone else is doing that and we're falling behind, which yeah, it's it's tough.

It's tough being a dad, a sports dad where you're like, okay, we don't need to make this where we make our entire lives about following our kids around in their sports. But at the same time, you want them to be in the position to succeed. So like, you know, where is the fine line? And for us, you know, we're we're more football.

Maybe me, football, basketball kind of guy. Baseball. We loved it. We had a lot of fun playing. And now that we have actually a baseball team at Central Christian since 2017, it's like, okay, well, this is actually preparing you for high school now, so I want you to be good at it. But at the same time, it's like, well, Jackson's going to be a track guy anyway.

He likes running long distances. And so it's kind of like if they don't let them play both sports, you know, is it worth doing it during basketball, which is kind of a sport he's really good at and one I really like, I, I don't know. It's hard to find the balance. The thing the thing about Iowa, where where I'm at is it's the only state in the country where high school, softball and baseball it's a summer sport.

Mhm. Like it's after it's after school is out so it doesn't coincide with any other sport. So every school has it and it's a big deal for all the schools. You have time to do it like it would have been awesome when we were growing up. One wanted, we would have had baseball. But it's that way where, hey, you have to be hitting and pitching and doing everything right now because we're getting ready.

You're going to play baseball. You have that opportunity. It doesn't overlap. This is one sport you get. The only thing you're going to miss is baseball. Yeah, well. Well, you have to do. Yeah, you have. Well, in our house, you have to do drag, of course, to to former DH to track athletes you're going to run tracks on.

So I mean she was she, she, she, she, she Steph she was a D1 track athlete too, by the way. So she was a D1 track athlete. Yeah. She was at Iowa State for three years. She, she was a two sport athlete in Iowa State. Steph started Iowa State volleyball and that so yeah, she's a stud. So another reason to get you in Saint Joe, right?

My kids. So as always you can find the ideal version of Kansas QB on nearly every podcasting platform on the planet and a video version on the Dual Media LLC YouTube channel. Tyler We had our first subscriber only podcast on Friday. How did you think that when it was fun? I mean, it was a little more, I think a little more laid back.

You did a lot of legwork up front for the for the extra stuff, but it was kind of more conversational, a little more, I don't want to say behind the scenes, because we didn't do anything like that. But yeah. Me and you talked a little bit more in depth about some things. I really enjoyed it. I don't know.

I don't know. Like, well, I'll wait and see how the production comes out, but I thought it went well. Yeah, I think. I think we were too scared of pauses and I didn't feel the need. I was just. I was looking at editing it. I didn't really feel the need to really cover up those parts with the edits and things.

So yeah, a little more laid back. That was fun. In fact, we're basically talking to our, you know, five or six biggest fans and and I mean, I mean, they're kind of supporting the show, so totally worth it to me to do an extra episode. Absolutely. We want to thank them, of course, for continue to sponsor us and if you're out there and you want to sponsor us, just like our friend Matt, my couple, Carmen of Midway and my man Jonah, and of course, Martin.

Nancy, you can always just head on over to WWE without pay TRANSCOM forward slash Kansas club. And of course, we would love for you also to subscribe to our YouTube channel, which is Jewel Media LLC. We're not quite yet to the point with Tyler where we've got a Kansas Cub Channel. So right now it's in my other channel, which is, you know, pretty much had nobody following it already anyway.

So it's like it's its own thing, you know, with the kids cub stuff. Just remember, if you're looking for it, it's not Joe Media, it's True Media LLC. There's a very nice, seemingly nice lady in New York that already had dual media on YouTube channel. So I'm. Don't forget the LLC. Otherwise you're subscribing to some other ladies content.

Who knows what that's going to be like. You know, I was going to say the first time that I looked it up without the LLC. Yeah, it's not you. It's definitely the LLC. The good news is it's just one look at her profile picture. That's not Steve. So it's pretty fair to kind of, you know, figure that out.

But you know, also anytime you can download our show on your favorite podcasting platform, that really helps us out. Yes. Do do you smell that? Smell what? It smells like news that has already been broken and broken news, as we like to say, if it ain't broke. And eight news. Breaking news is for our hearts and we no longer have the stamina

for that kind of effort. I missed the button. Oh, my goodness. For that kind of effort. So we take stories that have already been broken and share them with the folks at home. This is why we need a producer. Where's producer Jack, when you need them? Have you heard about this, Tyler? According to an article that appeared at the I'm sure very popular eighties baby dot net website, James Earl Jones who you know famous for a lot of things but for me, being a Star Wars nerd definitely for Darth Vader's voice played the chief of a police department of mathematicians and it showed called math it that aired as the final

segment on an after school sketch variety show called Square One. Yeah, and I completely forgot that was him. Yeah, until I read through this and I was like, Holy cow. Side note, the thing that I will always remember, James Earl Jones for now, was being the voice of the Reading Rainbow episode. He read the book The Rain on Wikipedia, playing that.

Okay, First of all, the fact that you remember that is a little scary because that's a very specific memory. But secondly, good call the Reading Rainbow, because that's kind of what we're talking about. I know. Right. So an article entitled Square one Television calls the PBS Children's Educational Variety show Smooth, Well Done, and largely under appreciated, according to the article.

Magnificent. I will read this in a normal voice with a British accent and go to the paid subscriber version. Square one was way more fun and interesting than a show about math had any right to be and was a better version of a sketch show than should have appeared as PBS children's programing. It's one of PBS's his late 1980s early nineties staples and holds up as a valuable teaching tool today.

Yeah I. I remember everything that they say, how they phrased it. That's very, very accurate going back and watching a couple of them to get ready for this. Now, just like anything you think like, wow, this is outdated. But thinking back on it now, it really was, huh? Those transitions were good. This does not look like it should be on PBS.

Like, yeah, this should be for every Brett to watch. Well, of course. So we did a season one, we did a shows, we watched episode. We didn't talk about this particular segment of shows that we watched, and afterwards Becky called us on it. Your sister said, Yeah, what? I thought you can talk about square one. I was like, Oh my goodness, we didn't talk about PBS.

And for us it was PBS and TV. And like, those are the two, like public over the airwaves because we don't have cable. So that those are the shows that we watch as kids and as, you know, as I was like remembering this, like, okay, we need to square one also, you know, Circle Square Gospel bill kind of episode.

I was thinking to myself, I'm going to go back and just watch it. I don't have time to do it, but I did it anyway. I just just just to see the intro and see what I thought about it. And I was fully expecting something so cheesy and terrible. But you're right. And this article is right square one.

I mean, yeah, there's a little bit of, you know, cheese factor to it because you're looking at something from the late eighties. But yeah, it was really well done and I wasn't even there date and something interesting in the article they talked about how at the time it got criticism for being a little too fast and not giving enough weight to the different elements and not being critical enough with, you know, the way it presents the topics.

But as the author mentioned of this article, if you watch it now, it's like it's kind of slow, like it's funny, it's well done. But nowadays with with Kids Educational program, we'll talk about some stuff from nowadays. It's kind of, you know, that kind of new generation of kid that doesn't have the same kind of attention span that we were supposed to have had back in the day.

And with three second cuts and you look back and if you looked at the Roman numerals, which I remembered that little song where they the guys up there. Yeah, I and I'm like, no, no, baby, here and here in Rome we say we say one and we say two is the Roman numerals. Right? And they're all day, baby, all I got you outs is a long deal.

They went all through ten and they actually you had to be they assumed that you were smart enough to follow along with that as a young elementary kid. And it was so long, I was like, How would this hold our attention spans back to it because today you'd never have such a long segment. No, but I think part of that has to do with how much TV and our kids are used to watching back then.

Like you could have put, you know, an egg frying and just an egg frying as a commercial and you'd be raptured and no, not enraptured with like, how am I? Am I supposed to say rapture? That's good. And rapture, as I say in rapture with this one, one commercial with just an egg frying and I'm my eyes haven't moved and I know it's going to say this is your brain on drugs at the end.

But I didn't stop. So and now our kids are used to staring at the screen, so they need. But back in the day that was we didn't watch TV all the time. It was like a treat for us to to watch for. We oh, we get to watch a full half an hour episode before we get kicked out of the house.

Sweet. Not bad. I'm watching. I'm watching every second of it. Mm. I think you're right, Tyler. I think you're on to something. The things we remember. We're getting older, and we've already forgotten more than we ever knew. And I keep not hitting the button the right time. But if you listen to this on the audio podcast, you have no idea.

So I don't know why I mentioned it. We've already forgotten more than we ever knew, but some memories still glean to our brain parts like George Frankl's wig to his large head when he and his partner went undercover as musicians in the math band the Googles. This list includes memories from our time growing up in Kansas. Let's see, just how well we can remember.

In the Broken News segment, we learned that Square One was an underappreciated educational gem of the late eighties and early nineties that taught kids to appreciate math. Tyler What other educational television did we watch as kids that helped make us the well-adjusted, intelligent humans that we are today? Oh, that's okay. So while we're talking us watching TV, it was after school and not just like the after school special shows, so on.

I'm like Channel 11 or Channel 19, like Channel seven and 19. That was PBS. What one was Katie W the other one's KC TV, PTV, KC PTV, or something like that. One was Kansas City. One came out somewhere in Kansas like. Loyola Oh no, no, I, I, I oh, not. LOYOLA Okay. I love I love Fort Scott. Salute.

How many times that we hear that you do some PBS. So we had to do 11 and 19 continue. Yeah. And and one of them played I can't remember was it after school? One of them played like the reruns of like after school programing, like the Leave It to Beaver, Beverly Hillbillies. Gosh, What were the other ones that they play?

Those types of those types of flicks. What our parents are that was 38 family greats or 38 Channel 38. That was where I always played those old ones I didn't remember or Casey or Katie w you playing that? Okay. Okay. Stuff. So this could also be a while. It's been a while, but we all. That was all. Tyler, you're getting ready to tell me we lost another station also.

What member station was that 11 spot? No, but we. What was the other thing? Station after school. TB Yeah. TV And what you're saying like it was, wasn't it. 11 No, that was, that was Katie. WS 11. Come on. Everybody was going to do this. Six People is a podcast right now that grew up in between that and didn't and really anywhere they're like, wait, he doesn't know what network channel supposed to be and he's been on 5050 was the other station 16 was TV and I can't be number one Taliban number yeah Oh my guest Yeah so six TV in and you know TV in For those of us that kind of grew up

in that time and were, you know, in the Christian realm of things there's some baggage with TBN, you know, a little baggage there. But the kids program program was pretty great. The kids probably it was pretty great. So some of those and we mentioned the episode is called Circle Square one. So the article is about square one, and that was KGW, Channel 11, as you mentioned, PBS's Circle Square was a Canadian show that was ran in the late eighties and it continued to run, I think, till like 92 on on on TBN and it was a show that had like where the kids obviously learn different virtues and lessons, but there's puppets.

There were singing skits and sketches and at the end letters from viewers. Now there's a show, Tyler, that if you go back and watch it, you think, What am I watching? And how in the world was, Yeah, oh no, but we love no, I hat we did in this and this was more this wasn't like after school, this was like this was like Saturday morning.

It might have been. It might have been. Yeah, yeah. This was like Saturday because after school was like PBS. That was the one where we and we'll talk about this a little bit, but, but this, but the Circle Square was like Saturday morning programing and and gospel Bill gospel behind it. He was he was kind of the one that led it off And I was always and it was in it started like it 6:00 in the morning, I think had to get they had to get the kids shows out of the way so that on on now now on 16 that I ever saw on Channel 16 you can you could get ready for 4

hours of church pretty but yeah and how great was gospel Bill I forget Circle Square for a moment how great was gospel Bill I mean for several reasons. You know, I was, you know, you know, I was into it because it was the only Christian programing that had cowboys involved. The only the only thing that had horses and and guns and hey, hey, how about that guns?

You know, that's what made it so great. Yeah. Looking back, I'm like, you would never do programing. Like, were there these, like the preacher guy shooting people Like for a Christian, like kids outreach like program, like this is amazing And even in their their promo like leading up to it like their trailers and stuff gospel bills turning around was six shooter and he's shooting people in the belly like gut shot down goes the bad guy.

And so I love that show because, you know, I grew up watching Westerns with my dad. I know you enjoyed anything cowboy related. And so you kind of got that in kind of a kid friendly. I mean, there's no blood. I mean, people would grab their belt and fall over, you know, so you can get away with that so much today.

But you did back then. But you had naked demons. His trusty deputy, who I always liked him. You got the gospel at the end of every show, which, you know, that was great. But I loved Elmer. You remember Miss Lana at the General store? But Elmer was my favorite. He was the guy with the mustache, the big guy, and he was hilarious.

He talked with that Southern accent, that kind of sloppy, a Western accent. Beautiful. Southern loved Elmer. He was hilarious. It felt like gospel. Bill was a vacation Bible school theme. Yeah. And every week it would be a something that the people putting on a vacation Bible school would this would be the sketch that they do at the beginning and the sketches do at the end.

And this Lana was the one that would read the Bible verses and truly tell them why they need to do this. And the music got quieter and you felt like, Oh, I need to listen to her. Yeah, to Lana. But my okay, my sleep schedule when I was little, for whatever reason I this I would wake up, go in there early in the morning.

But I got there right at the end as gospel Bill was doing the final demonstration and I very rarely got up early enough to watch like the whole thing. And I remember being so disappointed all the time. Like, I missed I missed the cowboy stuff. Now I got to do is learn that. Learn the good stuff. Yeah, Yeah.

Oh my goodness. And they had live horses like it was it was a legit show. Like, I'm just I don't know how that show even happened. Like, I'm impressed because usually Christian entertainment, especially back then, wasn't always great, but that was pretty good, I think. I think the other one we have to point out is this was on Channel 50, this was by the Lutheran something or other.

It was David and Goliath, which was basically code. Dave Oh, Dave, a Christian Gumby. It was was it was claymation, stop motion claymation. And you had this boy and his dog and all their various adventures. We love that. And that was Saturday morning programing a little later on. So we usually got that well and that well. That was complete rerun programing because David and Goliath originally aired like in the fifties now.

Yeah, it was it was a Cindy in syndication, but we loved it because, again, Gumby was popular at the time still, and so that was pretty great. Now onto the educational public TV stuff. Back to PBS, some other classics that we saw and add to this list. This is the list I came up with. So obviously Mister Rogers and Sesame Street, I mean, those are.

Yeah, Staples. Those were. But talking about after school programing, how about where in the world is Carmen? San Diego. That was like bus watch. And we were every day like, how if I could only be on this, remember it. And then at the end when they had to go, like actually put the, the big cones on where they thought they were and they had to get to the right capital or do that.

And I was so upset every time that people were not fast enough, like, do just go, guess just if you would just run fast, you know, just go ball and everything like you could get it done. And if you're smart, like you could get it done really quickly. But why in the world? Yeah, yeah, if you want. You got it.

You could go anywhere in the domestic United States. In the United States, you could go travel like it was a really cool prize. I as I look back on that, I'm still not sure how that prize worked. We're giving a kid a trip to anywhere. Yeah, if I'd have been that the parents had to pay their way. I don't know.

All I know is that those gum shoes I called Ganges. I remember that Kevin always knew the answer. He was so good. Javi. I'm terrible. John. My wife is great at geography. Like the two of them on that show have been great. And I just been gone. Like, I don't know, North Carolina is not in the United States, But also one of things I loved about that show was Roc-A-Fella.

I remember Roc-A-Fella then Jay. Remember that year? That whole thing with the Archipelagos in the world is Carmen San Diego. I mean, the other one that said you were bop, bop, doo wop. So good. Yeah. Thank you. Did all the. Yeah, it was. That was that was. That was my favorite. That was Fred, my favorite after school show.

Because you had to think about it. Yeah, I was more square one. I was more square one. Because you do remember math, man. Yeah. Okay. So basically, man, it's like Pacman, this little green guy, little number munchers guy with a michigan Wolverines helmet on. You maybe had they didn't have the face mask, but he'd walk. And glad you have grown.

He has to answer these questions. We were so into video games but couldn't have a system. You had the system. We were not allowed to have it. So just watching that little guy run around, we're like, Oh, it's like we're playing a video game. And, you know, he was doing math. We you know, we like math. Kevin was better than I was, but we were both pretty good at it.

And so I'll love that. But that was more square one by Carmen. San Diego was more my brother's thing, and it was really, really good. So the biggest thing about it, like we were again, well, it's not like our parents were saying, Hey, you're it's okay for you to watch a lot of TV, but we could watch we could watch that because it was educational and we thought it was awesome.

We didn't know if there was anything else on. That's the only thing we were allowed to watch. Now, how about this one? This one's on the border, Tyler. Remember Ghost Rider? Because I do. And it was educational. It was like an English program. Like English. And I. And I. And I loved it. I loved it. That's kind of that was my beginning of liking to write in and the differences in how you can construct a sentence.

Yeah. Now it was great. It was great to remember the problem. I had Ghost in the name. They had a ghost. And so, you know, being in the contemporary Christian home at the time, you know, while I'm still in one, my dad was like, I know about them evil spirits talking these kids from beyond. I don't know where he got the idea even up on that show, you know?

So that was kind of like you didn't want to make a big deal about the fact you're watching, like, Oh, yeah, it's on whenever I happen to be in here. And I'm just kind of watching because whatever, you know, that was ghost thing. He was like, Yeah. Martin House does that. I was like, That was what I was going to bring up.

And and I, I when I think of watching afterschool programing for whatever reason it's at your house. Mm. Like it, it was in that era of we went to your house after school right, during during different seasons of parents coaching ball and whatever age we were in. And it just seemed like, well, when it was time to go to our house, like one, we were in the country and it was not at all with our like we all stayed at the school inside for practice to shoot or do whatever we were out there.

So if we did go to our house, it was during the warmer time, like during the springtime probably. And it's time to get back outside. So if we're at our house, you're not inside watching TV. You're kicked out of the house right now. Not that it wasn't that way at your house, but I do remember it being when I think of ghostwriter, where the world is.

Carmen, San Diego, Circle Square, any any of that stuff. When I think of it that way, I think of sitting in your living room watching. Mm. Yeah. The tiny brown TV. Yeah. Oh yeah. And I think too was the fact that you had during football season we could get away with it with Mom. She loved that. Yeah. There was that.

Yeah. Other ones obviously Sesame Street. I mentioned that one Mr. Rogers but also. LAMB chops playing along when we're kids coming to play along and fun things is all we ever do and you know and that one Charlie horsing this is a song that never ends that he was okay so Charlie Horse was so annoying, but I, I felt obligated to stick up for him because his name was Charlie Horse.

Yeah. Yeah. No. Yeah, he was your guy. He was your guy because of the horse part, for sure. Oh, he was annoying. So, I mean, to take it in today to the last thing we'll talk about here before we go, our what? What are our kids watching on PBS? Because PBS is still a thing. TBA not so much.

Now we use right now media for kind of the Christian side of things. And we have some things that we watch on there. What are you guys watching? What's been watching in the Martin House? Well, our well one we we haven't had any type of cable TV or satellite anything for a long I mean, we've got the streaming services that really don't work well in our house because of the Internet.

But for us, it is all is all over the air transmitted stuff. So PBS is on it all the time. Wildcats isn't as popular as it was when Matty was little. I don't I don't think. But Wildcats was fun. I liked. Oh, who's the guy? The cat. Outgoing nature adventure guy. Yeah. Is it nature cat? Yeah. Yeah, I like.

I like nature cat. Although he was kind of annoying, but. But super. Why Peg Plus Cat is now kind of the math thing. I loved Peg plus Cat and nothing made me sadder than when my wife said, I just can't watch this show. It cannot be on the background because there's a lot of yelling. It's like a little Dora explorer kind of feel to it, whereas a lot of yellow I love Peg Plus Cat.

I think it's genius. Yes, but then we don't watch it anymore. But we did. Did you guys ever watch Super Why back in the day and word girl Martha speaks. It's not like the word ones weren't word word girl I enjoyed with Matty when she was younger. One just to brag on her. She read like when she was three.

Right? And so word girl for her, she grew out of very quickly. Like this is way too easy. We can't do that super y super read a super like that was cool. Odd Squad was one that is always been kind of weird, but I'm like, if I have to watch something, I guess just watch that wasn't wasn't my.

It's, it's weird man. I yeah it's in the name but and then said the science kids one that that we watch but you said wildcats is something you did back in the past with Maddy Wildcats is the show for Jackson Jewel and Jackson is a is a math guy. Right. But he loves wildcats. And to this day, if you want to ask anybody in our house about random animal facts, he memorizes shows and he'll say that he'll correct people.

He'll correct adults on on their misuse of what the natural habitat is for the painted dog. Like it good for him. He'll he'll correct you on that because he loves wildcats and if we lose him he would watch Wildcats all day, every day, which we obviously don't let him. But he totally does that. Does the Habitat for Painted Dogs come up regularly in adult conversation?

More than you would think, Tyler More than you would think. Now, obviously, there's just some bone and stuff here. My kids, if you're out there and you're like, Wow, this is interesting conversation. What can I do to help my kid be better at math? I'm going to go out and I put my plug in for teen movies. Now, I don't know how much time we zoom.

We had to do with how good my son is at math, but he never bring some math homework. He's 100% on all of his assignments. He's a math was a lot like his older like is like is my older brother his uncle. Then he is like me. And I say it's probably 5050, whether it's because of him or because of TV movies.

I mean, he loved that show so much and he would do the math right along with the the teen movie zooming characters. That was Nickelodeon. It doesn't really count. Bubble Guppies is another one. They call it educational TV. I don't think it was educational. I mean, it was okay as a show, but it wasn't educational. And then, of course, probably the the show that my kids have learned the most from, for good or for ill is probably Bluey, because the way that they played with their imagination, like all the time, they'll do things like, That's super clever, my kids are super clever, and then a week later I'll see it on BLEEP like they stole

that from Bluey. My kids aren't that good.
