Listen "S2 E9: Uncle Buck, Olympic Dreams & 80s Trivia Night"
Episode Synopsis
This week, we salute the patron saint of ‘80s comedy, John Candy, because if you didn’t laugh at Uncle Buck, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, or Spaceballs, you might be dead inside. Then Bill dusts off his Olympic credentials to relive the 1984 Summer Games, when L.A. was hotter than a Members Only jacket in August and the Soviet Union was conveniently “busy” that year. We wrap it all up with another round of 1980s trivia, because nothing says “good time” like forgetting the name of that one guy from that one band you swore you’d never forget.Show Notes:Spaceballs II Teaser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsK-KPi_w3wJoe Montana, “Hey look it’s John Candy”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2CwVbv7Wy4 Going Berserk (1983) Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1oE01Qb5BcCarl Lewis sings the national anthem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlypkbwBd50 Mary Lou Retton Wheaties Commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UOPmwmwARQ
