The 70s vs The 80s

In this episode, we set sail on smooth waters with a deep dive into HBO Max’s yacht rock documentary. We ask the hard-hitting question: Did MTV kill yacht rock? While we didn’t settle on a definitive Mount Rushmore of yacht rock legends, we discuss some major contenders like Michael McDonald, Toto, Steely Dan, Kenny Loggins, and Christopher Cross.

Mike joins us for a hilarious “Misheard Lyric Minute,” where we unravel some of the most misunderstood lines from classic tracks. Plus, we play a fun round of “Hot Yacht Rock or Yuck, Not Rock,” introducing two songs to determine if they have what it takes to glide into the yacht rock canon.

Lastly, we pay tribute to baseball legend Rickey Henderson, reflecting on his incredible career, record-breaking accolades, and the lasting legacy he left on the game.

Grab your captain’s hat and join us for a voyage filled with smooth tunes and heartfelt tributes!

We talk the “Turkey Drop” episode of “WKRP in Cincinnati.” Is it the greatest Thanksgiving episode in the history of television, or is it simply the greatest episode in tv history period? 

We laugh along with this comedic masterpiece.

Then, we play a lightening round of the hit new game “Every Rose Has it’s Thorn” as we ask the surprising difficult questions, “It is it Pete Rose or Axl Rose?”

In this episode, we howl into the night with a deep dive into Warren Zevon’s “Werewolves of London” and its eerie connection (or lack thereof) to the 1981 horror-comedy An American Werewolf in London.

Why didn’t this 1978 hit make it onto the film’s unforgettable soundtrack? We investigate!
