The Wicked Queen Has Entered the Fiero

The Wicked Queen Has Entered the Fiero

This week’s guest is Wendy — The Wicked Queen — a lifelong Alice Cooper devotee who has somehow also met Rod Stewart and Prince, because apparently that’s just what happened in the 70s and 80s if you were paying attention. Wendy walks us through what Alice Cooper’s music means to her, how she became the reigning villain of the local parade scene (candy included, kids beware), and makes a passionate case for the 1984 Pontiac Fiero — specifically its little-known stealth mode. Then we put her to the ultimate road trip question: Sonny Bono or Bono, one Fiero, no way out?

The Rock List Argument. The Bigfoot Confession. The Final Lap.

Billboard dropped a list. Lee from Atlanta has thoughts. So do we — and none of us agree, especially when it comes to U2, a band that somehow manages to divide every room it enters. We break down the biggest snubs and the most baffling inclusions in Billboard’s Top 50 Rock Groups of All Time. Then: a lost interview surfaces. Leonard Nimoy sits down with Bob Heironimus — the man who claims he wore the Bigfoot suit in the footage that launched a thousand conspiracy theories. We’re not saying it’s real. We’re not saying it isn’t. We close out with a tribute to a NASCAR legend we recently lost. One last lap for a true icon of the sport.

“Rubber Ducky, You’re the One — The Trucker, CB & Redneck EGOT”

Breaker breaker, good buddy — the boys are back and this time they’re hauling a full load of 70s trucker, CB radio, and redneck pop culture straight to your earhole. Spunky and Wolfman are joined by southern gentleman Lee for what might be the most important EGOT competition in podcast history. Who are the icons that went all the way — dominating the trucker lane, the CB airwaves, AND the redneck hall of fame? You will not see these triple-threat winners coming. Oh, and yes — we are absolutely making the case that Han Solo was a long-haul trucker. Fight us. Get your ears on, put the hammer down, and enjoy the ride. This one’s a genuine smokey magnet.

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

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.
