Some episodes don't need a deep dive. This is one of them. Thanks for listening! 

Long before the days of the social media influencer, companies were creative, innovative and sometimes used some of the biggest stars in entertainment to push products. 

This week, we take a look back at some of our favorite commercials, the hysteria they caused and how effective they were in making our parents go broke! Tell us one of your favorite commercials in the comments. 

Forgiveness is one of my biggest mountains to climb in life. I can be a very unforgiven person and love to fight fire with wildfire! It's a wrong and unhealthy trait and I'm really doing my best to shake it. This week it's about that healing process. How am I coping? How do I move forward? 

This episode you'll either feel me or hope that I'm never on the warpath; But no matter which side you stand on, I hope you can offer me some help. Have a great weekend! 

It's March 8th 2025 which means it's officially the 1 year anniversary of Made In The 1980's! We take a moment to acknowledge the show milestone and then, I offer anyone to take my VERZUZ Style Challenge! I think 80's Rock is the greatest era of music ever!

I have 20 records that I want to put up against any era of music. to see who wins! You taking the challenge?

In the immortal words of Bartles & Jaymes, Thanks for your support.

The start of the year has been quite the emotional rollercoaster and that's to put it lightly. The last few months, my personal career choices have been a little slice of hell! Trying to navigate, pivot and "find my why?" has been a task. Overwhelmed by my lack of respect and appreciation, I quit my job.  Little did I know, that it would be leading me to a new path that would lead to me asking myself, "What are you afraid of?" 

It's a milestone 50th episode and so many things are happening pretty fast!

I've developed a huge fascination with carpet cleaning videos and been playing more Tetris lately. My wife noticed it and asked me one of the hardest hitting questions of this year; Are you stressed? 

I share my answer and then unpack this "life buffet" that's on my plate right now and what I intend to do about it. No matter what age you are, I hope this reaches you and puts you in a better space after listening. 

Last decade, cancel culture was going crazy! The world hit a run of scrutinizing and micromanaging of everyones words and actions past or present in an effort to publicly and financial destroy them. 

This decade, it seems that we have gone from canceling people to flat out complaining about people with little to no change of effort. It's like we get off on acknowledging who or what we don't like and that is the end of it. Wang Dang Doodle and I talk it out with very little complaining this week. Hopefully you can do the same. Enjoy!

This week, it's all about some of the freshest, kicks, sneaks, tennis shoes and gym shoes of our time! No matter what you called shoes in your sector of the world, there's a story behind them. We share ours. From the XJ900 to the Jordan 13, we talk some of our favorite shoes we had or always wanted. 

Let's get into some OG Sneaker talk, shall we!?

This week is a classic conversations between 2 people Made in the 1980's and 1 teenager made in 2009. This week, Wang Dang's Daughter hops on the mic and we compare our upbringings. She thinks we grew up similar and then we tell her we remember the time where Dunks were cheap and unpopular and how we our group chat was all meeting at somebody's house to kick it. 

You got to love the youth and their perspective. Enjoy! 

Being a kid is usually a breeze...until it isn't. We often say that kids are growing up really fast these days, but hasn't that truly always been the case? As we reflect on our lives we definitely think so. This week it's all about how we were kids but doing some very grown up things in that process. 

Since we know you didn't just want to hear only a male perspective, we have a special guest, Brandi Morris of LADIWORKZ also on this show this week and she shares her experience as well as details on her book, "The Unexpected" that's out right now! Make sure you follow her to stay in tune.
