    Cor Memories Podcast: 8 Bit Beginnings

    In this episode of the Cor Memories Podcast, Corey, Joe, and Tank take a nostalgic trip back to the early days of video games, reflecting on the systems, games, and moments that defined growing up in the 80s and early 90s. What starts with the usual back-and-forth and humor quickly turns into a deeper conversation about what made those early gaming experiences so memorable. From classic titles like Double Dragon to the quirks of old consoles and cartridges, the guys relive the excitement of discovering new games, reading Nintendo Power, and counting down the days until the next big release. But beyond the games themselves, the episode centers on something bigger—the community around gaming. Whether it was crowding into a friend’s living room, taking turns with the controller, or spending Saturday afternoons surrounded by snacks and friends, the real memories weren’t just on the screen—they were shared. The crew also reflects on how that experience compares to today’s world, where time can disappear just as quickly scrolling on a phone as it once did playing games—but without the same connection and shared moments. It’s a mix of humor, nostalgia, and perspective, as the guys remind us that while the technology has changed, the memories—and the friendships built around them—are what truly last. Another trip down memory lane… and another reminder of why those moments still matter. Connect with us on X- @cormemories or Email us cormemoriespod@gmail.com

    Cor Memories Podcast: Food Courts, Arcades, & Freedom- The Mall Experience

    In this month's episode of the Cor Memories Podcast, Corey, Tank, and Joe take a joyful walk through mall life in the 1980s and early 1990s — when food courts, arcades, and being dropped off with no supervision felt like peak freedom. From debating mall vernacular and iconic stores to laughing about oddly specific mall staples (yes, even Hickory Farms), the guys swap personal stories that prove the mall wasn’t just a place to shop — it was a rite of passage. The conversation bounces between humor and nostalgia as they reflect on how malls shaped their childhoods, social lives, and sense of independence, and why those memories still hit so hard today. The episode wraps with a shared realization: malls may be fading, but the feelings they gave us haven’t. As Tank puts it, it was “a good time to be alive,” and the magic of mall culture even lives on through pop culture moments like Stranger Things. Food courts, arcades, freedom — and a whole lot of laughs. This one’s pure Cor Memories. Connect with us on X- @cormemories or Email us cormemoriespod@gmail.com

  3. Cor Memories Podcast: Ask Us Anything!

    Cor Memories Podcast: Ask Us Anything!

    This special edition of The Core Memories Podcast flips the usual format on its head, inviting listeners straight into the hearts, memories, and personalities of the hosts. Instead of a single focused topic, the episode is driven entirely by listener-submitted questions—and to everyone’s relief, the audience showed up in a big way. Corey welcomes back Joe and Tank for an extended, free-flowing Ask Us Anything conversation that blends humor, self-awareness, and genuine reflection. The hosts joke about their initial fear of only receiving one or two questions (webinar-style “plant questions” and all), but quickly realize just how engaged their growing, cult-like audience has become. As the episode unfolds, the questions spark everything from nostalgic tangents and pop-culture debates to deeper reflections on shared history, aging, and the sheer volume of memories built over decades of friendship. The banter is loose, self-deprecating, and very on-brand—complete with jokes about fake awards, beating out elite podcasts, and questionable press photos from their youth. By the end, it’s clear this episode isn’t just about answering questions—it’s about celebrating the listeners who made the show possible, the friendships behind the microphones, and the joy of revisiting memories together. Equal parts heartfelt and hilariously unpolished, this AMA proves that sometimes the best episodes happen when you just open the floor and let the conversation go where it wants. Thanks to everyone who submitted questions—and yes, this one definitely earned a sequel. Connect with us on X- @cormemories or Email us cormemoriespod@gmail.com

    Cor Memories Podcast: The Definitive Christmas Movie Rankings

    In this holiday-themed episode of the Core Memories Podcast, Corey is joined by Tank and Joe for a spirited — and occasionally chaotic — breakdown of Christmas movies, rankings, and the age-old question: what actually counts as a Christmas movie? Tank comes in armed with spreadsheets, firm childhood nostalgia, and very little flexibility, defending his rankings with the confidence of someone who knows the list is right because it feels right. Joe, on the other hand, leans fully into vibes, memories, and the circumstances under which a movie was watched, helping several cult favorites wildly outperform expectations and repeatedly asking, “Does this count?” before ranking them anyway. The trio debate perennial favorites like Love Actually, White Christmas, Christmas Vacation, Scrooged, and — of course — Die Hard and Die Hard 2, while admitting there are still movies left on their personal must-watch lists as the season winds down. Along the way, the conversation drifts into peak nostalgia, including a shared love for 80s and 90s Christmas commercials — the very ones they used to ignore as kids but now actively seek out on YouTube. As the episode wraps, the hosts invite listeners to share their own annual must-watch lists, challenge the rankings, and let them know where they got it wrong (or very right). The team also teases a January “Ask Us Anything” episode, encouraging fans to submit questions for a future show. The episode closes with gratitude for longtime listeners and newcomers alike, holiday wishes all around, and a promise to reconnect in the new year. 🎁 Happy Holidays from the Core Memories crew.

    In this milestone 12th episode—marking a full year of Core Memories Podcast magic—Corey, Joe, and Tank dive headfirst into a hilarious and nostalgic celebration of Thanksgiving in true 80s/90s fashion. Corey kicks things off by introducing Joe with a Thanksgiving-themed roast that hits a little too close to home, prompting Joe to proudly confirm his lifelong boycott of jello salads and his fierce loyalty to mashed potatoes over turkey. The trio falls into classic Thanksgiving banter, reminiscing about Butterballs, family chaos, and the eternal debate of turkey vs. ham.

    Cor Memories Podcast: Tales of Halloween's Past

    🎃 The Cor Memories Podcast – “Tales of Halloween's Past” This month, we turn back the clock to a time when Halloween meant plastic masks, foggy breath under cheap costumes, and the sound of Thriller echoing from a neighbor’s boombox. It’s a nostalgic trip to the Halloweens of our childhood — when the night felt colder, the streets darker, and the candy haul endless. In this episode, we dig into:  👻 Costume Hall of Fame (and Shame) – From homemade disasters to store-bought classics, we relive the best and worst Halloween looks of the decade. 🍬 The Great Candy Exchange – The legendary trades, the coveted full-size bars, and the mysterious candy no one actually liked. 📺 Spooky Screens & Haunted Sounds – The TV specials and  horror flicks that defined every October in the ‘80s. 🏫 Schoolyard Scares & Teen Tricks – Classroom parades, haunted houses, and the pranks that didn’t quite go as planned. 🕯️ Then vs. Now – How Halloween has changed, and why those 1980s nights still hold a special kind of magic.
