In Florida (of course), Chuck E. Cheese was marched out in handcuffs — tokens spilling, kids crying, parents googling “refund policy.” But before the mugshots, there was the magic. We rewind to the 80s, when Chuck E. Cheese was the cathedral of childhood chaos: bad pizza, skee-ball economies, and animatronic bands that haunted your dreams. And we discuss it with our own Florida man, Marc Boucher.
In this conversation, Scott and his guest, Adam Fuller dive into the nostalgia surrounding car audio systems, from the 1980s.
Back in the 80s, car audio was more than music—it was an identity. Some kids turned their hatchbacks into rolling boom boxes with amps, equalizers, and enough bass to rattle windows three blocks over. Meanwhile, others (like me) were just hoping the FM dial worked under an overpass.
This week, I...

Remember the movie that freaked out a generation? We thought we did too. This week, Scott and Marc revisit The Amityville Horror. While it’s not a technically “great” movie, it’s not technically scary or entertaining either. What a mess.
Editor note: Too many zeros were remembered on the price of the house. It sold for $80k. Oops.

Finally Summer Vacation in then 80's! A time for endless bike rides, melting popsicles and wait a minute... School?
Yep! Instead of sleeping in and playing Atari, some of us got sent to VBS. A week of sticky craft glue, questionable Kool-Aid and songs that never ended.
We've suckered, uh, welcome back childhood friend and Arizona pastor, Chad Goucher to help us untangle this.
The Wright brothers, Charles Lindbergh, Neil Armstrong… Lawn-chair Larry.
Look, R. Kelly was all talk. Our boy Larry Walters believed he could fly—and nearly died proving it. With a $110 lawn chair, army surplus weather balloons, small-caliber armaments raining down on suburbia, and a flight plan that included Coca-Cola, sandwiches, and beer (but no discernible math or physics skills), we discuss Lawn-chair Larry’s glo...

This week Scott and guest host Marc Boucher discuss memorable commercials of the 1980s. Mustard handoffs, Creepy talking bears and deception run amok. And “ancient Chinese secret” my arse! It was Calgon! We all knew it.

Stories about the weather in Oklahoma, the thrill of waiting for school closures on TV, and the challenges of faking illness to avoid school. The conversation also touches on the television shows they watched while home sick and t...

This week, we look back at the tech of the 1980's. Do you know the three speeds of VHS recording? Do you kind of remember the burned plastic smell of turning on electronics from our childhood? No lists, charts or debating here. Just the good stuff! Marc Boucher returns in full Boucher form!

Scott welcomes local guitar stud Eric Herndon to the mic as they debate the music of the 1980's. Eric plants the flag firmly on Loudness and something called 80's metal whilst Scott admits his fondness for Tears for Fears. It all winds up in probable legal trouble for slander when Scott lays down the UB40 rule.
Link to Eric's 1,000 list! Whew!
What a school year! The Mets won the Series. The Space Shuttle blew up in front of me and my classmates. Local OKC weather guy Paul Bouchereau unloads some F bombs during a graphics guy foul up (then they run that tape). Oh, then there was the basketball coach at my middle school. Stick around for that one! Chad Goucher sits in and we cover it best we can.
Scott welcomes long time friend Gregg Reeves to share stories about growing up on the Oklahoma prairie and the violent springtime storms that come with the territory. Did anyone else know the Myriad had underground parking?!
