There was nothing more magical in childhood than waking up to a world covered in snow and realizing school was canceled. In this episode, Rich and Brian take a trip back to the ultimate childhood holiday: the 80s snow day. From staying up the night before hoping the news ticker would show your school, to the surge of joy when you finally heard your district’s name on the radio — snow days were pure freedom.

We’re talking moon boots, frozen gloves, sledding on anything that could slide, hot chocolate that burned your tongue, all-day cartoons, Nintendo marathons, and forts that may or may not have violated modern building codes. And of course, the most important question of all — Will we get tomorrow off too?

If you grew up in the 80s, this episode will drop you right back into the glow of streetlights on fresh snow and the warm buzz of a house full of laughter.
If you didn’t — you’ll understand why we say we grew up in the greatest snow days ever.
