Revenge of the 80s: Spring break style

Nerds_l_2

It's Saturday -- time for another episode of the Stuck in the 80s podcast. This time, we needed extra mojo to get through our show, so we invited Booger, Lewis, Arnold and friends to help.

Yeah, one of the saddest sequels -- Revenge of the Nerds 2: Nerds in Paradise -- is just one small part of this week's salute to Spring Break in the '80s. (Queue Sean Daly doing some falsetto impression of the movie's theme song by .38 Special.)

Here's this week's podcast playlist:

I LOVE the fact that there are two Dead Milkmen songs on this playlist! Oddly enough, I was finally listening to the great songs/bad movies podcast yesterday evening at the beach only to discover that the mystery song was the DM's "Big Lizard..." Dang, I knew it from the first guitar lick but I missed out on my chance to be a "weiner" by being so tardy in actually listening to the podcast! My moment of Dead Milkmen glory, denied! (But I'm hyped to listen to THIS podcast, hoping for a mention of the Milkmen!)

Just downloaded from iTunes, but I won't be able to listen to the whole thing for a while. I have been doing home things because the house just went on the market. I hate everything about selling my house.

W.C. Fields it and Sean in Magnum P.I. tennis shorts. Oh, the imagery!

I'm not through the 'cast yet. I just had to remark on that.

Sean's Jamaican spring break was like Joe's Apartment! EEK! ::shudder::

I never went on a Spring break ... nope. Never. Nada. In fact, none of my friends did. We never went on ski trips either. I guess we were all poor or just too overly protected aka not trusted by our parents to be set free.

Enjoy Vegas, Steve. Sean, enjoy your house arrest.

dont i feel famous now. sean read my email on the show. great show, by the way. thanks, and some outfield included.

Great show again guys. The intro was pretty darn funny. Sean's story grossed me out. I would have been on a plane home before the first cockroach hit the floor. Keep up the fine work!

Just listened to the 'cast on the treadmill at the Y. ¡Totalmente hilarante!

Laughed out loud -- and then sadly sang along right to the end -- with "Hot Dog!"

And I have a cockroach story involving a friend's Camero, some "smoking products" and a dempsey dumpster -- but I'll spare you the details.

Great podcast guys. I totally feel for Steve with the Doberman story. I had a friend in school with a psycho doberman that scared the crap out of me (although, I am generally frightened of large dogs), but it eventually had to be put down because it turned on the family, too. And, Sean's story about the cockroaches was GROSS! I had a hard time getting to sleep last night because I kept envisioning a cockroach crawling into my mouth as I slept. UGH! Man...just thinking about it now means I'll have a hard time sleeping tonight. Thanks...

Hi Guys,

I have just started listening to your podcasts for the past severals weeks and I now have a new respect for speers (spears?) for his choice of the Dead Kennedy's Holiday in Cambodia. I think they are certainly worth a segment on one of your shows; certainly, it might be difficult for you guys to devote an entire show to these pioneers of punk, but they definitely deserve it. You should just play "California Uber Alles" just for kicks so that you can annoy Sean Daly some more.

Loved this podcast!! I went from laughing about the doberman to being skeeved out over the roaches!!
