  1. To The Moon: The Mount Rushmore of Cosmic Rock

    2 DAYS AGO

    To The Moon: The Mount Rushmore of Cosmic Rock

    Wolfman & Spunky head for the stars in this cosmic edition of The 70s Vs The 80s. This week, we each carve out our personal Mount Rushmore of Moon Songs and Space Songs—and the debate gets heated fast. Does the crown belong to “Rocket Man”? Is “Major Tom” the ultimate space traveler? Can Sting out-orbit everyone by walking on the moon? And does Ozzy crash the party by howling his way into lunar legend with “Bark at the Moon”? Expect bold picks, friendly arguments, and a few unexpected detours through the strangest corners of the classic-rock universe. Then in Segment Two, things get theatrical. We present dramatic readings of legendary rock lyrics—including our best “Orson Welles–style” performances of some of Prince’s steamiest lines. Yes… it gets intense. Yes… it gets weird. And yes… it absolutely gets dramatic. It’s moonshots, synths, space suits, and purple poetry—only on The 70s Vs The 80 listen to all the music featured on this episode here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4dzBxMYCQ7XHT19jlicekS?si=aGA6PKbEQdyWi8kWgHWWEA&pi=OJsk3lHrSKeLc https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/the-mount-rushmore-of-moon-space-songs/pl.u-4J59u19bKj Send us a voicemail and hear yourself on the next episode: https://www.speakpipe.com/The70sVsThe80s Send us an email: The70svsthe80s@gmail.com

  2. Dueling Dylan Duets (& The Lawn-Jart Incident)

    4 APR

    Dueling Dylan Duets (& The Lawn-Jart Incident)

    Bob Dylan turns 85, and Spunky & Wolfman are throwing the man a party — their way. They each bring their top three all-time Dylan tracks, their most overrated picks, and the deep cuts they swear you’ve been sleeping on. Then things get beautifully unhinged as the boys attempt an actual Dylan duet, stitching together their combined top 20 Dylan lines of all time into something that has absolutely no right to work as well as it does. Then buckle up. Segment two brings you The Lawn- Jart Incident — a story so absurd, so perfectly chaotic, you’ll need to hear it with your own ears to even begin to process it. Trust us on this one.

    Chuck Norris Memorial

    He didn’t just walk through walls — he walked through decades. This week on The 70s Vs The 80s, Mark and Gaspar join us to pay tribute to one of the most iconic action legends of our era: Chuck Norris. We share our favorite memories of the man, the myth, the roundhouse kick — from his scrappy 70s martial arts roots to his full-blown 80s action superstardom. And because no send-off is complete without one, we close it out with a “21 Chuck Norris Jokes Salute.” Rest easy, Chuck. The jokes write themselves — and so does the legend.

    So You Think You Hate Disco, Outlaw Country, ’80s Rap, & Heath Ledger Sound-a-Likes?

    Everyone’s got a genre they love to hate — but what if you’ve been wrong this whole time? This week, we’re defending the underdogs. Disco, Outlaw Country, ‘80s Rap, and yes, even Metallica all walk into the courtroom, and we’re playing defense attorney. We’ll dig up the deep cuts you forgot existed, the classics you never gave a real chance, and the songs that just might make you a convert. Plus — we uncover the real-life singer whose haunting voice and wild persona became the blueprint for Heath Ledger’s unforgettable Joker. Come in a hater. Leave a fan. Maybe.

    Bruce Lee Vs Chuck Norris -- RIP Van Der Beek & Boo Radley

    Was 70s icon Bruce Lee the most dangerous man to ever step in front of a camera? Or did 80s action machine Chuck Norris perfect the art of the beard-powered beatdown? We break down the facts, the films, the fight styles — and the cultural impact. And seriously… why does only ONE of these legends have an entire universe of internet jokes written about him? Then in Segment Two, the most mysterious man in podcasting — Kevin Is Whenever — joins the show to tackle two of the toughest topics around: • The emotional battlefield of teenage TV dramas • And the surprisingly cutthroat criminal underworld of the musical Glee Yes. Show choir gets dangerous. Finally, we pay tribute and memorize an actor who appeared in some of the biggest tough-guy movies ever — honoring a screen presence that defined an era of cinematic masculinity. Roundhouse kicks. High notes. High drama. Only one decade wins. Send us a voicemail and hear yourself on the next episode: https://www.speakpipe.com/The70sVsThe80s Send us an email: The70svsthe80s@gmail.com

    USA Vs USSR 1980 Miracle: & Winter Olympic Sports Ranked

    Part One: Rating the Winter Olympic Sports Spunky and Wolfman bring their signature 70s vs 80s perspective to the slopes, rinks, and halfpipes as they rank every Winter Olympic sport on their patented pop culture scale. Which events score a perfect “Billie Jean video” (the ultimate 80s achievement)? And which ones crash harder than the King himself, earning the dreaded “Elvis dying on the toilet” rating? From figure skating’s sequined glory to the icy chaos of curling, no sport is safe from their hot takes and nostalgic banter. Whether you’re Team Downhill or Team Luge, prepare for laughs, arguments, and maybe a few controversial opinions. Part Two: Miracle - The Boys of 1980 Documentary Review The hosts dive into Netflix’s Miracle: The Boys of 1980, the documentary that brought back all the feelings from that legendary Lake Placid moment. Spunky and Wolfman walk you through the goosebumps-inducing moments, the unexpected tears, and the belly laughs that hit them while revisiting one of sports’ greatest underdog stories. Don’t have Netflix? No problem! Consider this your Reader’s Digest version of the doc. The guys share the best stories, the most moving interviews, and all the behind-the-scenes details that make this film essential viewing for anyone who remembers where they were when Herb Brooks’ ragtag team took down the Soviet Union.

  7. Your First Job Stories & Mall Memories With Matt Friedlander

    Your First Job Stories & Mall Memories With Matt Friedlander

    In this episode, we turn the mic over to you, the listeners—and it turns out your teenage trauma and retail scars are universal. Segment One: Your First Job Stories We asked you to share stories from your very first jobs, and wow… you delivered. From the north, south, east, west—and yes, even Canada, the stories came flooding in. Fast food disasters, awkward uniforms, terrible managers, and that first magical (and tiny) paycheck. No matter where you grew up or whether it was the 70s or the 80s, it turns out joining the workforce for the first time followed the same script: confusion, humiliation, accidental insubordination, and memories that are still hilarious decades later. Proof that nothing bonds us quite like minimum wage misery. Segment Two: Mall Memories Malls may be a dying breed now, but once upon a time they ruled our social lives. With special guest Matt Friedlander, we dive deep into what made these climate-controlled wonderlands so special. From record stores and arcades to food courts, hanging out all day without buying anything, and the pure freedom of being dropped off with friends—this segment is a love letter to the mall era. We debate what we miss most, what will never come back, and why the mall was so much more than just a place to shop. 🎧 Grab a slice of Sbarro, meet us by the fountain, and relive two eras where work was terrible, malls were perfect, and the 70s and 80s continue to battle it out.
