Free Nights And Weekends

Step right up! Free Nights and Weekends takes a deep-fried dive into the Oklahoma State Fair — where childhood smelled like funnel cakes, diesel fumes, and bad decisions. Scott is joined by Garth and Ken from Fried Okla to swap stories about sketchy carnies, dunk tank jerks, and the glory of winning a live iguana you absolutely didn’t need. It’s a nostalgic, laugh-out-loud ride through 80s fairgrounds, where powdered sugar coated everything — and nobody wore sunscreen.

In Florida (of course), Chuck E. Cheese was marched out in handcuffs — tokens spilling, kids crying, parents googling “refund policy.” But before the mugshots, there was the magic. We rewind to the 80s, when Chuck E. Cheese was the cathedral of childhood chaos: bad pizza, skee-ball economies, and animatronic bands that haunted your dreams. And we discuss it with our own Florida man, Marc Boucher.

In this conversation, Scott and his guest, Adam Fuller dive into the nostalgia surrounding car audio systems, from the 1980s. 

Back in the 80s, car audio was more than music—it was an identity. Some kids turned their hatchbacks into rolling boom boxes with amps, equalizers, and enough bass to rattle windows three blocks over. Meanwhile, others (like me) were just hoping the FM dial worked under an overpass.

This week, I sit down with a true car audio wizard to talk pull-out stereos, cassette binders, bass wars, and why it all made perfect sense in the 80s. One of us had a system so powerful it could shake drywall. The other… had stock speakers in a 1986 Isuzu truck. Guess which one’s hosting the podcast.

Remember the movie that freaked out a generation? We thought we did too. This week, Scott and Marc revisit The Amityville Horror. While it’s not a technically “great” movie, it’s not technically scary or entertaining either. What a mess. 

Editor note: Too many zeros were remembered on the price of the house. It sold for $80k. Oops.

Finally Summer Vacation in then 80's! A time for endless bike rides, melting popsicles and wait a minute... School? 

Yep! Instead of sleeping in and playing Atari, some of us got sent to VBS.  A week of sticky craft glue, questionable Kool-Aid and songs that never ended. 

We've suckered, uh, welcome back childhood friend and Arizona pastor, Chad Goucher to help us untangle this.

The Wright brothers had wings. Neil Armstrong had NASA. Lawn Chair Larry had a $110 Sears lawn chair, forty-five helium balloons, and the courage of a man who didn’t understand gravity. In this episode, Free Nights and Weekends salutes Larry Walters — the DIY aviator who soared into California airspace armed with Coca-Cola, sandwiches, beer, and zero formal training. Scott and Marc unpack how one man’s ridiculous dream of flight became a legendary moment in American folklore — decades before Blue Origin or Katy Perry’s “Firework.” It’s the high-flying, helium-fueled episode you didn’t know you needed.

This week Scott and guest host Marc Boucher discuss memorable commercials of the 1980s. Mustard handoffs, Creepy talking bears and deception run amok.  And “ancient Chinese secret” my arse!  It was Calgon!  We all knew it.
