Today, we have an episode commissioned by Club Gym Nerd member Helen, who asked for an episode about the 1984 NCAA Championships! That means we get to discuss sexism, a time when there were more than 16 men's college teams, Baby Kathy Johnson commentary, Mitch GAYLORD and his GAYLORD, Timmy "The Bull" Daggett, a coach marrying a current athlete because 80s, and a time when Utah Gymnastics ruled the world! You guys:

• You had to have a mustache and giant glasses or you weren't allowed to coach.
• Men had to wear little diapers on floor
• FEATHERED HAIR AND BIG BANGS AND LAYERS AND FROSTED BLUE EYE SHADOW
• The springboard might be made of rice paper
• An entire fluff piece about how hot Mitch Gaylord is and how cool it is that he rides a motorcycle
• "Tim Daggett style"
• How you dealt with a major injury in 1984
• Fan-girling over Lisa Zeis and Heidi Anderson and Tami Elliott and (that's right) Elfi Schlegel
• Spencer has a coronary embolism over the state of NCAA scoring in 1984
• The famous Greg and Megan fluff piece about their marriage
