Born in the Eighties

Thor comes crashing into the room asking whether or not our drinking problem is truly helping the war effort against the frost giants.  A dude runs in while tripping balls on bath salts and not only steals Adam's innocence, but also runs off with our beloved pet goat named after a children's TV show character.  It isn't Lantz's fault that the Mexicans working the kitchen at the pizza place ruined their computer by watching porn, but he still has to do his laundry in that rape dungeon of a basement of his apartment.  We can all agree that Star Wars would have been 100x more depressing with Christopher Walken playing Han Solo.

A teacher dresses up as Mark Twain but forgets to wear the pants, Jon's 5th grade music class induces a Vietnam flashback. Ninjas break into cars, and get chased away by guidos weilding guns.  A modern re-telling of "Top Gun" would be flawed fundamentally, though U.S. Military planes have kick ass names. In Rural America, everyone drinks and drives, while attempting to elude the cops.  We discuss the Mechanics of getting a blowjob whilst walking, and how  awesome sticking your torso out of a sunroof is. Ghost ride an ATV dirty, and become a living god, meet Jack Hardcase, NBC CEO and remember, Patricia is the worst female name.  www.partyplatypus.com Email: [email protected]

Adam and Jon are again joined by their guest Lantz to talk about everything from the Bat Cave's secret playboy grotto to the ability for drunken girls to take the fall at a party busted by the cops.  Lantz outruns the local police, and whips a "shitty" in his dodge neon.  Meanwhile, Jon contemplates whether or not someone died in his car before he bought it.  All of the while Adam tries to decide whether the BK kids club or the extreme ghostbusters is more diverse.   All this and more in the 7th episode.  If you listened to these once a day, that would be a full week, and you would be a weird person for doing so.

This week Adam and Jon talk to their good friend and old roommate Lantz.  He is a funny person, and he adds his unique point of view to the stuck up and stuffy podcast that Adam and Jon run.  His new free-wheeling ways upset the establishment and he is thrown out for being too "real".  But, banding together with his new pal Rowdy Roddy Piper, Lantz gets set to take over the airwaves with his own brand of realism.   Through a hilarious romp-ridden musical montage Lantz takes over the studio from the opressors. Jon and Adam end up with pies in their faces, and a Tears for Fears song plays as the kids win!! Yay!  Also, Donkey Lips is still alive, I repeat, Donkey Lips is still alive.

Alligator Slapping Machines, Glenn Beck leaving Fox News, Hipster Hitler, Drive by hick shootings, and Nazi's infiltrating the US with make-up mirrors.

This week, our hosts are joined by a Mr. Tony Trout.  He was not born in the eighties, but his heart is in the right place.  France and its malodorousness are discussed, as well as a lot of pondering on languages in general.  Our hosts discuss their favorite on stage roles, and we get our very first listener email.  www.partyplatypus.com

Outfitted in the finest new recording equipment that tax return money could buy, our 2 intrepid 80's-nauts decide to peruse the news.  Pudgy men win awards for jumping into kiddie pools, women hide illicit substances in odd places, and french canada refuses to be freaky.  All this in more in Born in the Eighties 3rd outing.

In this episode, Atlantis is discovered, and we find out that Mrs Neptunia is a bit of a Bitch with a capital B.  Mercury causes the death of thousands of puppies, unwittingly.  Cock shotguns are invented and distribution of such weapons is foiled by the police.  We also reply to Miss Anita Sayed.

Our intrepid heroes wax philosophical about Jake Lloyd spinning mad yo-yos, the Sherlock Hamm detective agency, and the un-importance of "stinking badges".  90's dog makes his skateboarding appearance, as well as Dave Coulier and Jack Ching, Bada Bing the jackalope.  Stay tuned to the end for our first ever reader email!  

This is the inaugural episode of Born in the Eigthes.  Originally recorded in December of 2010, I finally got off of my lazy ass to put this thing together.  This is "patient zero" if you will, of a show I do with my best friend, every week.  Think of it as if you were a fly on the wall of a room full of 2 people talking about complete bullshit, but since you are a fly, you don't see that spider crawling behind you, and you are devoured.  That is Born in the Eighties in a Nutshell.
