The Unused Acceptance Speech

Posted on December 29, 2019 by Brad

No, that’s not the title to a missing Hardy Boys mystery – when Stuck in the ’80s was named a finalist for this year’s People’s Choice Podcast Awards, Spearsy and Brad in LA had to cut together a video acceptance speech that would have been shown at the online ceremony had we won. SPOILER ALERT: We did not win.

Thus the video languished on Brad in LA’s hard drive, and hasn’t been seen by more than a handful of people. We had fun putting it together, though, so we thought we’d share it here. Thanks to all who cast ballots for us in the first round of voting, you’re the reason we got as far as we did! Now, get yourself a refreshing beverage and enjoy this 2 minute clip of silliness:

Episode 524: No. 2 Songs from 1979

Posted on October 13, 2019 by Brad

Oh, we’re so close to the actual ’80s, we can almost taste it. Well, you definitely can’t hear it because the hit songs from 1979 bear little resemblance to the songs we’d love in our decade. This episode, we honor the songs from 1979 that went to No. 2 on the charts but no further. There are some real gems by Village People, Donna Summer, and more.
