Get ready to break a sweat as Spunky and Wolfman dive into the wonderfully awkward world of physical education! In this episode, our hosts reached out to fellow pop culture podcasters to share their most memorable—and most cringe-worthy—gym class experiences from the 70s and 80s.

From the brutal battlefields of dodgeball to the stick-wielding chaos of floor hockey, our guests don’t hold back. You’ll hear tales of rope climbing victories and defeats, the mysterious allure of parachute day, and those unforgettable moments when athletic prowess (or lack thereof) was on full display.

But perhaps nothing sparks more nostalgia and confusion than the age-old question: What was the deal with mandatory square dancing in gym class? Our podcasting friends weigh in on this peculiar tradition that somehow found its way into gymnasiums across America.

As if the gym class stories weren’t enough entertainment, an unexpected Spotify game showdown erupts between Wham! and Wang Chung that nearly breaks the format entirely. Which 80s band reigns supreme? The competition gets heated as our guests battle it out with their musical knowledge.

Whether you were the kid who dominated the Presidential Fitness Test or the one who strategically “forgot” your gym clothes, this episode will transport you back to those polyester-clad days of physical education. Dust off your sneakers and join us for a trip down memory lane that’s equal parts hilarious and horrifying.

*Warning: May cause flashbacks of climbing ropes and the lingering scent of gymnasium air.*
