  • Not the Worst 80’s Podcast

    I don’t know what these guys look like but assume they look like American Pickers, one thin (Jason)and the other chunky and slow with a touch of wokeness (Wyatt). They do almost no research on the topics just what they remember. Please keep politics out of the podcast. Everything 80’s podcast is the best. Real research is done.

  • Great Fun and Awesome Memories!

    I started listening to the latest episode first tonight while I was getting dinner ready. Both the best and worst decision I’ve made in a while because I got so hungry listening to the guys talking about delicious things like stromboli and ham steak.

    I’m definitely adding this to my regular lineup! Great job, guys!

  • Best friends I've never met

    I discovered Jason and Wyatt through their MASKast podcast. These guys feel like friends I would have had in middle school and I love listening to them jog back to my favorite decade. I feel like Frank Cross shouting my 80's trivia answers back at them though they just can't hear me. But it's happend for me and I want that feeling every day! God bless the 80's, everyone.
