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

2/22/2026
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

Your First Job Stories & Mall Memories With Matt Friedlander

2/1/2026
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.

Gym Class Memories (Let's Get Physical) Wham Vs Wang Chung

6/21/2025
Get ready to break a sweat as Spunky and Wolfman dive into the wonderfully awkward world of physical education! In this episode, our hosts reached out to fellow pop culture podcasters to share their most memorable—and most cringe-worthy—gym class experiences from the 70s and 80s. From the brutal battlefields of dodgeball to the stick-wielding chaos of floor hockey, our guests don’t hold back. You’ll hear tales of rope climbing victories and defeats, the mysterious allure of parachute day, and those unforgettable moments when athletic prowess (or lack thereof) was on full display. But perhaps nothing sparks more nostalgia and confusion than the age-old question: What was the deal with mandatory square dancing in gym class? Our podcasting friends weigh in on this peculiar tradition that somehow found its way into gymnasiums across America. As if the gym class stories weren’t enough entertainment, an unexpected Spotify game showdown erupts between Wham! and Wang Chung that nearly breaks the format entirely. Which 80s band reigns supreme? The competition gets heated as our guests battle it out with their musical knowledge. Whether you were the kid who dominated the Presidential Fitness Test or the one who strategically “forgot” your gym clothes, this episode will transport you back to those polyester-clad days of physical education. Dust off your sneakers and join us for a trip down memory lane that’s equal parts hilarious and horrifying. *Warning: May cause flashbacks of climbing ropes and the lingering scent of gymnasium air.* Please, fill out this short survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1eCzmh4jn6onsdfllOI_NencBhVWRRfvhWteLYfSbLxE/edit?usp=drivesdk Send us a voicemail: https://www.speakpipe.com/The70sVsThe80s Send us an email: The70svsthe80s@gmail.com Children Of the 80s https://open.spotify.com/show/4Oj8YAEgWuxixNOfMV7qOh?si=P2J2IUMZQw-BVtGDz9CfHw Totally 80s and 90s Recall https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall?utm_source=linktree_profile_share Pop Culture Yearbook https://linktr.ee/PopCultureYearbook?utm_source=linktree_profile_share Def Dave https://linktr.ee/defdave?utm_source=linktree_profile_share Spinning the Wheel Podcast https://linktr.ee/spinningthewheelpodcast?utm_source=linktree_profile_share The Hoodrat Recap Podcast

Bubble Hockey Vs Air Hockey (A Game of Inches--& Blowers) Plus, People Who Died

6/15/2025
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.
