b"Happy Wonder Wednesday Everyone,\\n\\nAngela Bowen here, the host of Looking Back On My Wonder Years: A Wonder Years Podcast.\\n\\nToday, I covered S1E6: Be Prepared, which aired on October 27, 2021.\\n\\nIn this episode when Coach Long and Bill take the boys on a camping trip as part of their newly formed scout troop, their starkly different approaches to the outdoors show Dean that his father isn't good at everything.\\n\\nI really enjoyed this episode as we saw Bill totally out of his element in the woods, but he took on the role of Scout Leader for his son Dean, because it meant so much to him. I loved seeing Bill and Cliff (Coach Long and Corey's father) butt heads with each other even though Cliff was an Eagle Scout growing up and 1/16th Cherokee and knew the woods so much better.\\n\\nI found it hilarious that Bill basically broke the bank at the supply store with a start of the art tent which Bill tried and failed to put completely together even with Dean's help and instead of hotdogs Bill bought freeze dried beef stroganoff (apparently the same as what the astronauts eat, according to the supply store clerk), really it just looked like undigested oatmeal.\\n\\nJoin me next week when I cover S1E7: Independence Day (Coincidentally the same title as the series finale of the original Wonder Years.), which aired on November 3, 2021.\\n\\nIn this episode Bill comes up with a solution for Kim's car desires, but the solution is only pleasing to him; Dean is worried about seeming uncool when Clisby ends up chaperoning him and his friends.\\n\\nHave a great week everyone and as Bill William's (Dean's Dad) likes to say: Be Cool!\\n\\nTo EMAIL The Podcast GO TO;\\n\\nlbomwonderyearspodcast@gmail.com"
