    I love the 80’s and anything related, I listened from the first episode til 172 and have to stop and delete. Joe is hilarious and great to listen to Kari started being too annoying and can’t take it anymore. Her cackling and wokeness ruins it, we are talking about the 80’s who cares what music or movie won’t hold up now because of your wokeness.

  • Kari and Joe are awesome

    You can tell these guys are great friends and have a great time.

    I have already learned about so much music I missed in the 80s.

    Kudos to them for all the work they put into each episode.

    I’m going back to the beginning and listening to the back catalog now.
