In this fast-paced episode of The 70s Vs The 80s, we drop the puck

(and the puck-shaped paddles) on two iconic arcade games: Bubble Hockey

and Air Hockey. We ask the experts: where do these legendary tables rank

in the all-time pantheon of games? You might think of them as glorified

rec room relics—but wait until you hear how high one of them scores on

the leaderboard of greatness. Spoiler: one has a cult following you

didn’t even know existed.

Then in our People Who Died segment, we remember a football player

who did almost everything right—until he made perhaps the most infamous

mistake in NFL history. A play that haunts highlight reels and defined a

career in one fateful moment.



Next up, we pay tribute to a rock star who blurred every line and

broke every rule—funky, fearless, and decades ahead of his time. And we

close with a salute to a songwriter so legendary that even your favorite

band probably covered him… whether they admit it or not.



Puck drops now. Let’s play.
