Trust me, we're still stuck in the 80s
Episode #80 of Stuck in the 80s is finally online. Click here to listen or click here to subscribe for free on iTunes. It's been so long since I uploaded a podcast that I may have fouled up the RSS feed temporarily, so if the show says "Episode 30" on your iTunes, just blame me. I didn't have my regular Egg McMuffin and 2-liter bottle of Diet Coke that day.
Highlights of this week's show:
- A surprising lack of sexual innuendo by Times pop critic Sean Daly, who seems to prefer just ragging on his co-hosts now on general principle.
- Cathy Wos reveals her shocking psychological condition about a major Hollywood star.
- And as the host, I start a new drinking game. Drink half a beer every time I say "fringe" in this show. (Note: Please buy at least two cases of beer prior to trying this.)
Enjoy the chaos. Our next episode will come in mid-week: An interview with Kenny Loggins, who plays Clearwater's Ruth Eckerd Hall on April 13.
Relive the music, movies and culture of the greatest decade ever with Times online editor Steve Spears. A teen during the decade, Steve is obsessed with everything from Duran Duran to Journey, John Hughes to John Cusack, and parachute pants to Reaganomics.
E-mail Steve Spears:
Yay! You're back. It was kind of tough to cover an entire decade in one podcast, though. I can't wait to get back to the 80s!

Come on, we know Cathy loves puppies. What does she invoke every time you guys talk about something icky?
And "Jaws" is awesome.
And I agree, "Nobody's Fool" is an underrated song.

Wow, great 'cast guys ... Sean's devotion to Astronaut Steve Austin led me to YouTube, where there's a clip of the Six Million Dollar Man battling Bigfoot (played by Andre the Giant). Great scene of Steve in his crotch-griptacular bell bottoms and side-zip leather half boots, sporting "The Dry Look" feathered hair and a shirt open to the navel exposing his Chiachest of manhair ... stirring, to say the least.

Cathy's being coy. She confided with me after the show that she not only hates Jaws, but also carbonated beverates, sunlight, people who wear blue shirts and furry puppies.

Don't worry, we will be back in the '80s before you know it! And I seriously think something is wrong with Steve for hating Jaws. Or maybe he was just trying to be contrarian.

I was flattered that Sean kept referring to me. I can't believe you hate Jaws Steve! That is one of my all time favorites. I'm looking forward to hearing some actual 80's topics again.
