Totally 80s and 90s Recall

This week on Totally 80s and 90s Recall, Rob and Dave tackle the ultimate pop-rock showdown: Phil Collins versus his own band, Genesis. In an era where Phil seemed to be everywhere at once, the guys break down the friendly—and highly lucrative—rivalry that defined the airwaves of the 80s and early 90s, weighing the massive success of Phil’s solo hits against the experimental stadium anthems that kept Genesis at the top of the charts. Join the guys as they curate their own "essential" playlist for both the man and the band, debating the songs that truly defined the decade. From chart-topping ballads to the drum-heavy tracks that changed the sound of pop forever, Rob and Dave dive deep into the legacy of a musical powerhouse who managed to compete against himself and win, leaving listeners to decide: when it comes to the soundtrack of a generation, who truly wore the crown?

"I am a F.B.I. Agent!" This week, we’re paddling out into the 50-year storm to revisit the 1991 adrenaline-fueled masterpiece, Point Break. It’s a film that shouldn’t work on paper—a Zen-philosophical surfing heist movie—yet it somehow redefined the action genre. From the high-stakes "Ex-Presidents" bank robberies to Gary Busey’s unhinged energy, we’re breaking down why this Kathryn Bigelow classic remains the ultimate high-octane trip through early 90s cinema. The Movie Hound joins Dave and Rob to dive into the wild casting rumors, the "less than nothing" philosophy of the script, and the legendary stunts that made this a cult favorite. We explore the bromance between Johnny Utah and Bodhi and discuss how a movie this absurd managed to become a genuine masterpiece. Grab your board and join us as we decide if this is a spiritual experience or just life’s sick sense of humor. Vaya con Dios, brah!

Forget "Footloose" and "Danger Zone"—Dave and Rob are digging into the 80s movie deep cuts you forgot you loved. This isn't your average Top 10; it’s a high-octane countdown of the best "non-mainstream" tracks to ever grace the silver screen. In this episode, the guys bypass the obvious radio hits like "Ghostbusters" and "The Power of Love" to celebrate the under-the-radar anthems and moody synth masterpieces that defined 80s cinema. From cult classic montages to the songs that gave indie sleepers their soul, Dave and Rob debate which tracks truly captured the era's magic without leaning on the Billboard charts. Whether it’s a gritty rock track from a forgotten action flick or a shimmering pop gem from a teen drama, they’re proving that the best movie music often lives in the shadows of the blockbusters.

This week we're reviewing the 1991 Kevin Costner classic Robin Hood; Prince of Thieves. We'll travel back to 1194 to frantically help Costner look for his English accent. This high action darker take on Robin Hood was a global financial success earning over $390 million worldwide. Although Costner's hair and flaming arrow may have gotten you to the theater, it's Alan Rickman who steals the show as the Sheriff of Nottingham. Rickman delivers and steals every scene he's in, making you laugh the whole time. Does this movie hold up? Is Bryan Adams evil with that song? Why is the score so good? Dave, Rob and Kurt will join Robin and his Merry Men back in Sherwood Forest on this episode to rob from the rich and steal from the poor, and please, leave the dull spoons at home Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/totally-80s-and-90s-recall/id1662282694 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/11dk5TUoLUk4euD1Te1EYG?si=b37496eb6e784408 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/1960c8f9-158d-43ac-89a6-d868ea1fe077/totally-80s-and-90s-recall YouTube Podcasts: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH9lGakNgCDZUkkHMUu88uXYMJu_33Rab&si=xo0EEVJRSwS68mWZ Contact Us: Website: https://totally80s90srecall.podbean.com/ Email: 80s90srecall@gmail.com LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Dust off the rhinestones and fire up the jukebox, because 1980s country was where neon lights met steel guitars. The decade kicked off with outlaw grit still echoing from the 70s, but soon the airwaves filled with the polished swagger of artists like George Strait and Reba McEntire, who balanced tradition with arena-sized confidence. Bands like Alabama turned country into a crossover powerhouse, stacking harmonies as tall as their tour buses, while storytellers such as Randy Travis steered the genre back toward its roots with rich baritone ballads that felt carved from oak At the same time, legends like Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers continued to shape the landscape, proving that authenticity never goes out of style. Sister duos like The Judds brought heart-tugging harmonies to the charts, and by the decade’s end, a young Garth Brooks was loading the launchpad for the 90s country explosion. From honky-tonk tearjerkers to glossy radio anthems, 80s country was a decade of big hooks, bigger hair, and songs that still two-step straight into your memory Pandora: https://pandora.app.link/iq8iShjXOLb Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/totally-80s-and-90s-recall/id1662282694 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/11dk5TUoLUk4euD1Te1EYG?si=b37496eb6e784408 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/1960c8f9-158d-43ac-89a6-d868ea1fe077/totally-80s-and-90s-recall YouTube Podcasts: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH9lGakNgCDZUkkHMUu88uXYMJu_33Rab&si=xo0EEVJRSwS68mWZ Playlists Spotify: Apple: Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/user-playlists/16b4813b839c4477b822cc845919f00esune?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_CMNR3rn7LH8c9RkLizlPyaZlt Contact Us: Website: https://totally80s90srecall.podbean.com/ Email: 80s90srecall@gmail.com LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Dave, Rob, and Kurt are plugging in their guitars and cranking the volume to eleven as they drop the needle on 1992’s Wayne’s World, the movie that turned public access TV into a rock-and-roll religion. From the opening Bohemian Rhapsody headbang to the immortal cry of “Party on,” this episode dives straight into the movie’s glorious chaos. They’ll revisit the birth of Wayne and Garth as big-screen icons, the perfectly dumb brilliance of the sketch-to-film jump, and how Mike Myers and Dana Carvey somehow made basement slacker energy feel heroic. Expect love for the cameos, the needle drops, the low-budget charm, and the strange magic that made Aurora, Illinois feel like the center of the universe The guys will also tear joyfully through the endless parade of quotes, moments, and jokes that refuse to age out. Every “schwing,” every fourth-wall break, every awkward pause and sight gag gets its moment under the microscope, with plenty of laughs along the way. Is Wayne’s World the most quotable movie of the 90s, a decade already stuffed with endlessly repeated lines? Dave, Rob, and Kurt are ready to put that question on the air, rewind the tape, and see just how many lines still live rent-free in our collective brain. Party time.

Valentine’s Day is usually a parade of roses and power ballads, but Dave and Rob are taking a scenic detour through the heartbreak aisle. The 80s had a special talent for turning breakups into epic events, complete with echoing drums, pleading vocals, and choruses that felt designed for late night staring contests with the ceiling. These songs did not whisper their sadness. They announced it with synthesizers, lighters held high, and enough emotional reverb to fill an arena. Whether you were dumped, doing the dumping, or just dramatically sighing for effect, the decade made sure you had the perfect soundtrack From Foreigner’s wounded resolve to Air Supply’s soft focus despair, the 80s breakup song was pure emotional craftsmanship. Richard Marx captured the ache of love slipping through your fingers, while Bonnie Tyler turned heartbreak into a full body experience, raspy voice and all. These were not just sad songs, they were monuments to love gone sideways, built with key changes and unapologetic sincerity. As Dave and Rob count down their favorite tear stained classics, expect a reminder that sometimes the best Valentine’s playlist is the one that lets you feel it all, preferably with the volume up and the lights low Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/totally-80s-and-90s-recall/id1662282694 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/11dk5TUoLUk4euD1Te1EYG?si=b37496eb6e784408 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/1960c8f9-158d-43ac-89a6-d868ea1fe077/totally-80s-and-90s-recall YouTube Podcasts: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH9lGakNgCDZUkkHMUu88uXYMJu_33Rab&si=xo0EEVJRSwS68mWZ Playlists: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3zA5TNw3msEJvfvLO52qF8?si=I8Cq0N-2SVaNHDjQspO59Q Apple: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/80s-breakup-songs/pl.u-38oWrY5Ig5GBpk Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/user-playlists/cd94569cced94ed3bd5c1ae36f8b4de6sune?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_mggkjq9FAokZfxKoiZef5zVTX Contact Us: Website: https://totally80s90srecall.podbean.com/ Email: 80s90srecall@gmail.com LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The 90s had a velvet-lit corner of the dance floor reserved for slow jams that knew exactly what they were doing. Rob and Dave are cracking open that time capsule this week, lining up their favorite Valentine-ready booty jams where the bassline lingered and the vocals whispered promises. Artists like Keith Sweat and Blackstreet didn’t rush the moment. They let it simmer, letting silk-smooth harmonies and late-night grooves do the heavy lifting. These were songs built for dim lights, a little confidence, and the kind of mood where the rest of the world politely waits outside. And then there’s the next wave of heat, where artists like Usher and Ginuwine turned sensual R&B into a full-body experience without ever crossing the line. The 90s were loaded with tracks that made you lean in closer, nod your head slower, and maybe forget what time it was. It was grown-up music with a playful grin, equal parts romance and rhythm. Perfect Valentine fuel, especially when Rob and Dave are spinning memories, stories, and songs that still know how to set the mood decades later Pandora: https://pandora.app.link/iq8iShjXOLb Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/totally-80s-and-90s-recall/id1662282694 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/11dk5TUoLUk4euD1Te1EYG?si=b37496eb6e784408 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/1960c8f9-158d-43ac-89a6-d868ea1fe077/totally-80s-and-90s-recall YouTube Podcasts: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH9lGakNgCDZUkkHMUu88uXYMJu_33Rab&si=xo0EEVJRSwS68mWZ Playlists: Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5AiXLgbzjM65fgSVJZQNDO?si=H8D365BtT0GFUuH8qxFtcg Apple: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/90s-booty-jams/pl.u-e98loWlUWq6EDx?ls Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/user-playlists/04b97ef29e5c448a9f6467e24d34c0eesune?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_JoQJhDNQ1dVaytwKN5qn8KF57 Contact Us: Website: https://totally80s90srecall.podbean.com/ Email: 80s90srecall@gmail.com LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The week of January 27th, 1986 found the Billboard Hot 100 glowing like a neon strip of American pop confidence. Radio and record stores were in lockstep, and the charts reflected a nation humming along to big hooks and bigger personalities. Bruce Springsteen was still flying the blue collar flag high, Dire Straits proved that sophisticated guitar rock could dominate mainstream ears, and The Cars continued to fuse new wave cool with arena sized melodies. These were songs built for car stereos, shopping malls, and late night countdown shows, polished just enough to feel timeless but still crackling with mid-80s energy. Now, forty years later, Dave and Rob rewind the tape to revisit a chart that felt less like a list and more like a cultural snapshot. Mr. Mister’s sleek, keyboard driven anthems floated alongside guitar heroes and synth architects, all competing for the same precious real estate on radios across America. Album sales mattered, airplay mattered, and the Hot 100 became the scoreboard where it all converged. This week in 1986 reminds us of an era when songs didn’t just chart, they camped out in your head for months, becoming the soundtrack to daily life and the echoes that still follow us decades later Pandora: https://pandora.app.link/iq8iShjXOLb Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/totally-80s-and-90s-recall/id1662282694 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/11dk5TUoLUk4euD1Te1EYG?si=b37496eb6e784408 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/1960c8f9-158d-43ac-89a6-d868ea1fe077/totally-80s-and-90s-recall YouTube Podcasts: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH9lGakNgCDZUkkHMUu88uXYMJu_33Rab&si=xo0EEVJRSwS68mWZ Playlists: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1DJLbXKYb7yszYsV5h2qxm?si=yPbFNi4RSOKjaCNBS4_h8A Apple: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/billboard-hot-100-jan-27-1986/pl.u-mJy89J4tB1e07X?ls Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/user-playlists/b4dcac20ba434d9480532b1c4fea6daasune?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_Yybw4IcSjS0eml0R1a7N4mRB9 Contact Us: Website: https://totally80s90srecall.podbean.com/ Email: 80s90srecall@gmail.com LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We’re cracking open 1991 like a fresh VHS rental and drafting the very best films the year had to offer. Rob, Dave, and Kurt will go head to head, assembling their dream rosters from a cinematic moment that still hums with electricity. This was the year of Terminator 2: Judgment Day rewriting the rules of the blockbuster, The Silence of the Lambs turning prestige drama into a pop culture event, and comedies lodging themselves permanently in the brain. What About Bob?, with Bill Murray at peak controlled chaos, sat right alongside Hot Shots!, proving 1991 could swing from psychological tension to perfectly timed lunacy without breaking stride. The draft unfolds across six categories, including comedy, blockbuster, big budget, and drama, forcing tough calls right out of the gate. Do you lock in T2 or Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves for sheer scale, grab Boyz n the Hood or Thelma & Louise for dramatic weight, or roll the dice on something like Point Break, where surf culture, skydiving, and philosophy collide? Strategy matters, nostalgia runs hot, and no one leaves without defending at least one hill they’re willing to die on. By the end, we’ll have three very different blueprints of 1991, built from quotable lines, seismic action, and films that still feel permanently etched into moviegoing memory Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/totally-80s-and-90s-recall/id1662282694 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/11dk5TUoLUk4euD1Te1EYG?si=b37496eb6e784408 Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/1960c8f9-158d-43ac-89a6-d868ea1fe077/totally-80s-and-90s-recall YouTube Podcasts: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH9lGakNgCDZUkkHMUu88uXYMJu_33Rab&si=xo0EEVJRSwS68mWZ Contact Us: Website: https://totally80s90srecall.podbean.com/ Email: 80s90srecall@gmail.com LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall Voicemail #: (509) 426-4542 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

New Jack Swing kicked the door open in the late 80s and rearranged the furniture. Born at the crossroads of slick R&B vocals and the punchy swagger of hip hop beats, it fused polished melodies with drum machine snap, sampled funk, and a streetwise pulse. Teddy Riley was the mad scientist at the center of it all, wiring together sounds that felt futuristic and familiar at the same time. Artists like Bobby Brown, Janet Jackson, Guy, Keith Sweat, and Bell Biv DeVoe turned dance floors into pressure cookers, where romance, bravado, and pure groove all bounced to the same rhythm When Dave and Rob dive into New Jack Swing, they will be stepping into an era where R&B stopped tiptoeing and started strutting, and they will be picking their personal favorites from the genre along the way. This style dominated the late 80s and early 90s by changing how songs were produced, how artists moved, and how hip hop and R&B talked to each other. Expect a rundown of the songs that defined the sound for them, because New Jack Swing did not just soundtrack a moment, it defined an attitude Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/totally-80s-and-90s-recall/id1662282694 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/11dk5TUoLUk4euD1Te1EYG?si=b37496eb6e784408 Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/1960c8f9-158d-43ac-89a6-d868ea1fe077/totally-80s-and-90s-recall YouTube Podcasts: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH9lGakNgCDZUkkHMUu88uXYMJu_33Rab&si=xo0EEVJRSwS68mWZ Contact Us: Website: https://totally80s90srecall.podbean.com/ Email: 80s90srecall@gmail.com LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall Voicemail #: (509) 426-4542 Playlists: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/64WiYudzrtZCjE9HfAogdT?si=6gLFbrWjTyqY8kKtNVjn0w Apple: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/80s90s-new-jack-swing/pl.u-9N9L1N3s7Y6Wq9?ls Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/user-playlists/65c1976794114d21a215dc7e68a729b7sune?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_XM7iQG0NCCJ79JZDSALnDyMVD Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode, Rob and Dave fire up the musical time machine and pit 1982 against 1992, two years that changed the sound of pop in very different ways. They start by breaking down each year’s Billboard Top 5 hits, where synths, power ballads, and early MTV shine in ’82, while ’92 flexes with grunge tremors, hip hop dominance, and slick pop polish. From chart-toppers that ruled car radios to songs you could not escape at the mall, they examine what these hits say about the mood, style, and cultural heartbeat of their respective years. But the charts never tell the whole story, so Rob and Dave dig deeper into the tracks that lived just outside the Top 5 and still hit hard today. Cult favorites, album cuts, and radio staples that helped define each year get their moment in the spotlight, sparking debate, nostalgia, and a few friendly jabs. In the end, the gloves come off as Rob and Dave each make the case for which year truly delivered the better music. Was it the neon glow and new wave confidence of 1982, or the raw edge and genre-blending brilliance of 1992? One year will win, one will lose, and the listeners get to ride shotgun for the showdown Pandora: https://pandora.app.link/iq8iShjXOLb Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/totally-80s-and-90s-recall/id1662282694 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/11dk5TUoLUk4euD1Te1EYG?si=b37496eb6e784408 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/1960c8f9-158d-43ac-89a6-d868ea1fe077/totally-80s-and-90s-recall YouTube Podcasts: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH9lGakNgCDZUkkHMUu88uXYMJu_33Rab&si=xo0EEVJRSwS68mWZ Playlists: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2cWEYCeauBC2YQ2gPCclqS?si=6GRxM-HvRxq_zm5BMQ0-rw Apple: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/1982-vs-1992/pl.u-DdANGd5Il5eXZJ?ls Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/user-playlists/58f46ae3852544f99f39ddc924b55b95sune?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_ftRbegaLyvBef0UBYyxDv3g57 Contact Us: Website: https://totally80s90srecall.podbean.com/ Email: 80s90srecall@gmail.com LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The lights are hot, the synths are humming, and the 80s Movie Bracket has reached its glorious endgame. Rob, Dave, and Kurt throw open the studio doors and welcome two heavy hitters of nostalgia, Jim from Children of the 80s and Giff from Pop Culture Yearbook, to help settle an argument that has echoed since VHS rewinds were a workout. Four mighty brackets, Action, Comedy, Sports, and Sci-Fi/Fantasy, have battled through montages, one-liners, and slow-motion triumphs, leaving eight titans standing. This is not a debate, it’s a cinematic steel cage match where reputations are on the line and John Williams-level drama hangs in the air. On the final card, Back to the Future squares off against Ghostbusters in a clash of flux capacitors and proton packs, while Die Hard and Predator bring bare-knuckle bravado to the action corner. Comedy sends Coming to America and Three Amigos to the front lines armed with royal swagger and accidental heroics, and sports delivers pure heart with Hoosiers versus The Karate Kid, a battle of gym floors and crane kicks. With Jim and Giff in the mix, every vote carries the weight of mixtapes, sleepovers, and movie posters taped to bedroom walls. One film will rise above them all, crowned the greatest 80s movie of all time, while the rest take a bow to thunderous applause and a perfectly timed guitar riff Pandora: https://pandora.app.link/iq8iShjXOLb Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/totally-80s-and-90s-recall/id1662282694 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/11dk5TUoLUk4euD1Te1EYG?si=b37496eb6e784408 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/1960c8f9-158d-43ac-89a6-d868ea1fe077/totally-80s-and-90s-recall YouTube Podcasts: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH9lGakNgCDZUkkHMUu88uXYMJu_33Rab&si=xo0EEVJRSwS68mWZ Contact Us: Website: https://totally80s90srecall.podbean.com/ Email: 80s90srecall@gmail.com LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Rob and Dave Pry open the Billboard Holiday 100 for the week of December 13, 2025, like two kids shaking a suspiciously heavy gift under the tree. They wander through the chart’s blizzard of seasonal contenders, pointing out the trends, oddities, and eyebrow-raising entries that somehow drifted their way into the top 100. Their goal: identify the tracks that deliver genuine holiday sparkle rather than the musical equivalent of regifted fruitcake. Once the dusting of chart snow settles, the duo assembles a holiday playlist guaranteed to warm spirits, lift moods, and possibly provoke at least one questionable dance move. Expect cozy tunes, festive fireworks, and a sprinkle of strange-but-charming surprises that only this chart can provide. Whatever your December looks like, Rob and Dave’s playlist promises to add a little extra twinkle to the chaos.

Dave, Rob, and Kurt settle into their studio chairs like a trio of over-caffeinated elves, ready to unwrap the 1990 holiday juggernaut that is Home Alone. Their conversation whirls through booby-trap brilliance, John Williams magic, and the curious physics of paint cans that apparently double as guided missiles. Each host brings a different flavor to the sleigh ride: Dave with his delighted forensic breakdown of Kevin’s gadgetry, Rob with his gleeful appreciation for Daniel Stern’s operatic screams, and Kurt chiming in like a cinematic chimney sweep, sweeping up every stray detail of Chicago suburbia in December Before long, the studio hums like a blinking string of lights as the three volley memories from childhood Christmases, those early encounters with a movie that felt equal parts cartoon and cozy hearth. They marvel at how a simple tale of a forgotten kid guarding his kingdom became a perennial beacon in the winter constellation. Even now, as adults flanked by microphones instead of stockings, the film hits them with the same peppermint-snap energy: fast, funny, a little chaotic, and glowing with the warm certainty that, in the end, everyone finds their way home Pandora: https://pandora.app.link/iq8iShjXOLb Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/totally-80s-and-90s-recall/id1662282694 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/11dk5TUoLUk4euD1Te1EYG?si=b37496eb6e784408 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/1960c8f9-158d-43ac-89a6-d868ea1fe077/totally-80s-and-90s-recall YouTube Podcasts: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH9lGakNgCDZUkkHMUu88uXYMJu_33Rab&si=xo0EEVJRSwS68mWZ Contact Us: Website: https://totally80s90srecall.podbean.com/ Email: 80s90srecall@gmail.com LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Christmas in the ’80s and ’90s had a magic all its own—equal parts neon lights, tinsel overload, and the warm glow of TV specials you had to catch live, or you missed them for the whole season. It was the era of mall Santas, department-store catalogs thick enough to use as booster seats, and the unmistakable sound of wrapping paper tearing open to reveal toys that felt larger than life. From driving around to look at Christmas lights to recording holiday specials on VHS (complete with commercials), the season had a slower, cozier rhythm that today’s streaming-and-overnight-shipping world can’t quite replicate. In this episode, Dave, Rob, and their guest Ryan dive deep into what they loved—and what they genuinely miss—about Christmas back then. Each of them will share their Top 5 greatest Christmas gifts ever, along with the legendary ones they begged Santa for but never found under the tree. It’s nostalgia, joy, heartbreak, and holiday hilarity rolled into one festive conversation—perfect for anyone who still remembers the thrill of Cabbage Patch Kids, GI Joe, Tickle Me Elmo and circling toys in the Sears Wish Book or Toys R Us ad before tearing into a Nintendo-shaped box on Christmas morning.
