Descripción

"I want my two dollars!" A famous phrase that kicks off our new series within our series, if you can follow that. This one looks back at one of the genres that defined the decade: teen comedies. This week we look at Kyle's favorite pick, the John Cusack/'Savage' Steve Holland classic: Better Off Dead! We reminisce about the story of Lane Meyer, who decides to commit suicide after his popular girlfriend dumps him. The black comedy may not have blown up at the box office, but it did blow up Ricky’s mom’s face and left a mark with its slapstick style and parody to become a cult classic. We also talk about all those great things like news, music, movies, TV, cartoons, comics, toys, games and more, that made this week memorable. So grab some gasoline, light up a cigarette, and get ready to race on one ski with Rich, Don, and Kyle!

A new episode? Wait? Are we still doing this thing? Of course we are, and we are back with an all-new episode of 80's nostalgia you could fill a bucket, or commode or something like that. Either way, you can't get this kind of jam-packed wacky nonsense outside of a clown car. Oh wait, the topic is the nuclear meltdown at Chernobyl? Why didn't someone tell me first! I would have left out that clown car crack. Oh well, anyway this episode looks back at the devastating meltdown that forever changed a country and solidified the world's fear of nuclear power. Jeez, way to bring all this down. At least you can count on Rich, Don, and Kyle to deliver all the news, music, movies, TV, toys, comics, sports, and more to radiate with their listeners! Really!? Radiate? What's wrong with these guys? I bet they chewed on cooling rods as kids.

We're Back! After a short, but kind-of long, brief hiatus, the boys are back and we are capping off our 'Favorite Teen Movie of the 80's' series. We come full circle with Rich's pick; the comedy classic, 'Porky's!' The seminal teen sex comedy that launched a genre. We revisit the classic comedy to see if it still holds up or does it go too far. If the movie doesn't got too far, we sure will as Rich, Don, and Kyle bring back all your favorites; sports, news, music, cartoons, movies, comics, and even the sketch pad! What? None of those are your favorites? Then what are you listening for? Wait, ignore that, listen. Please listen. In fact, I am hypnotizing you right now to listen...listen now...listen many, many times...listen often. Well, now that we're done with that, I need to go listen to something…many, many times…
