Welcome to this totally tubular 54th episode of the United States of Geekdom!  We are gonna have a totally rad time talking about this most dudeical topic for our final episode of 2012, the 1980s!  Now, this is the first of several episodes that we have going on where we talk about the 80s so if we missed something in this episode, we might catch it on the next go around.  Also, Rick has an article coming up on how the lingo that was so popular in the 80s got its rise to popularity!  That should be coming up soon!    Next episode?  We are about to get even more old school than the 80s with some classic animation!  Thanks for the download and for listening!  Stay geeky!
