  • 44. Nineteen Eighty

    This week, the boys are checking out a year that added a huge splash of color to the scene with the debuts of Pacman and Rubik's Cube. Then, while waiting to find out who shot J.R., they head to the theater to see The Empire Strikes Back.


    The musical hits of 1980 also strike back on our Spotify playlist:

  • 43. Nineteen Sixty-Three

    Don't be afraid to try the greatest sport around in 1963: Surfing! Apparently, everyone was too busy on the waves to consume a lot of media. The Beach Boys surprisingly take home the top spot at the year-end Billboard Hot 100, in a year that was particularly bad for music sales. And Cleopatra was the highest grossing movie in the US, despite losing money. The boys also talk about Froot Loops, Easy Bake Ovens, and Astro Boy.

  • 42. Twenty Twelve

    A lot of people thought the world was ending in 2012, but not Mark & Trey. No, the boys knew The Avengers weren't gonna let that happen. Grab your bacon milkshakes and don't forget to reset your Mayan calendars. Sorry, Loki, you're just somebody that we used to know.


    Sing along like it's the end of the world. Check out our 2012 Spotify playlist here:

  • 41. Nineteen Seventy-Seven

    Feather your bangs and get ready to jump to lightspeed, because this week the boys are traveling through space and time to 1977! A futuristic year that introduced the world to Star Wars, the Atari 2600, and the incredibly futuristic way to celebrate known as the High Five.


    From Easy Listening to Punk Rock, 1977 had it all. And so does our Spotify playlist, featuring the best tunes of the year:

  • 40. Two Thousand Two

    The show turns the big 4-0 this week, and it's time to grow up and put away childish things. Because with great power comes great responsibility. Journey back to 2002, when Spider-Man was the number one movie in the US, American Idol first debuted on TV, and Nickelback was reminding us all what we really are.


    Check out our Spotify playlist featuring all the best 2002 jams:

  • 39. Nineteen Fifty-Eight

    Today on the show, Mark & Trey go all the way back to 1958. This was a very tropical-themed year, with folks playing with Hula Hoops imported from Australia, watching South Pacific at the theaters, and eating coconut flavored syrup on their pancakes at IHOP.


    Get out your coconut bra and move your hips to the music of 1958 on our Spotify playlist right here:

  • 38. Nineteen Ninety-Five

    This week on the show, Mark & Trey take an extra long look at a very nostalgic year for them both: 1995! The boys talk about the launch of the Playstation, the murder of Selena, and possibly the best Batman film of all time, Batman Forever.


    The playlist this week is absolutely chock-full of bangers. Listen along to the best songs from 1995 right here on Spotify:

  • 37. Nineteen Sixty-Six [Easter Special]

    Easter Sunday is coming up, so the boys went back to a very Bible-centric year: 1966! The Mamas and the Papas were singing about walking into church, John Lennon was getting into hot water over his thoughts on Jesus, and the number one movie in the country was called The Bible, actually.


    Feel free to dance along to the music of 1966, if the spirit moves you. Listen on Spotify:

  • Episode Thirty-Six: 2015
    Today on the show, the boys take their shortest trip down memory lane yet, because they're telling you all about 2015! Audiences returned to Jurassic Park for the first time in 14 years, Sir Paul McCartney returned to the billboard top ten for the first time in 29 years, and the Warriors took home the NBA championship for the first time in 40 years.

  • Episode Thirty-Five: 1973

    This week the boys head to a year when the country was called to pick sides in a lot of big battles: 1973. There was the Battle of the Sexes between Bobby Riggs and Billie Jean King, the legal battle of Roe v. Wade, and the battle between children and their parents about whether they were allowed to watch The Exorcist.
