• 18. SilverHawks
    Oct 30 2025

    Today, we’re taking flight into the metal-feathered, laser-blasting world of SilverHawks! Premiering in 1986, SilverHawks came from the same creative minds that gave us ThunderCats — and you can tell. It was part superhero, part space opera, and all ‘80s awesome. The story followed a team of half-human, half-cyborg heroes with wings of steel and hearts of gold, who patrolled the galaxy to stop the villainous Mon*Star and his intergalactic gang of baddies.

    With its shiny animation style, rock-and-roll theme song, and a toy line that had every kid begging for a figure with real “metallic” armor, SilverHawks was a cosmic blast of action and adventure. It may not have soared quite as high in popularity as its ThunderCats cousins, but for those of us who watched, it left a lasting mark — part nostalgia, part space-age daydream.

    So strap on those metal wings, True Believers, and get ready to rocket through the galaxy of memories. This episode, we’re shining a spotlight on the one, the only… SilverHawks!

  • 17. ET: The Extra-Terrestrial
    Oct 20 2025

    Today, we’re phoning home to talk about one of the most magical — and heartwarming — films of the ‘80s: E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.

    Released in 1982 and directed by Steven Spielberg, E.T. told the story of a lonely boy named Elliott who befriends a stranded alien and helps him find his way home. But E.T. was so much more than a sci-fi story — it was a film about friendship, wonder, and believing in something bigger than yourself. It captured the innocence of childhood in a way that still hits us right in the feels today.

    From glowing fingertips to flying bicycles silhouetted against the moon, E.T. became an instant classic that defined an era — and let’s be real, it also made Reese’s Pieces a Halloween candy legend. Between the trick-or-treat scenes, the heart-tugging goodbyes, and that unforgettable John Williams score, E.T. remains one of the purest pieces of movie magic ever made.

    So whether you’re out collecting candy, carving pumpkins, or just want to relive a little of that wide-eyed wonder, this one’s for you. Get ready to light up the sky with nostalgia — because tonight, we’re phoning home to 1982 for a Halloween journey with E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial,

  • 16. M.A.S.K. - Mobile Armored Strike Kommand
    Sep 15 2025

    Today, we’re putting on our helmets and activating our hidden weapons, because we're diving headfirst into the world of M.A.S.K.! That's right, Mobile Armored Strike Kommand—the franchise that combined everything we loved about action-packed cartoons with transforming vehicles, secret missions, and helmets that did way more than protect your noggin.

    Launched in the mid-'80s, M.A.S.K. followed the adventures of Matt Trakker and his elite squad of heroes as they battled the sinister organization known as V.E.N.O.M.—the Vicious Evil Network of Mayhem (seriously, how great were '80s acronyms?). With toys that transformed from everyday cars and motorcycles into heavily-armed battle machines, M.A.S.K. captured our imaginations, emptied our parents' wallets, and made us all secretly hope our own family station wagon might suddenly sprout wings and missiles.

    So, buckle up, rev up the engines, activate the masks, and dive into the covert, high-octane world of M.A.S.K. — right here on RadioWayne’s One to Grow On!

  • 13. Thanksgiving Memories
    Nov 22 2023

    Today, we're taking a trip back to celebrate three retro traditions that make Thanksgiving not just a feast for our tummies, but for our hearts too. First up, we're tuning into the classic sitcom 'WKRP in Cincinnati', specifically the hilarious 'Turkey's Away' episode. Who can forget the infamous line, 'As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly'? That moment alone is a slice of Thanksgiving TV gold. See it here! https://youtu.be/BGFtV6-ALoQ?si=i1YpF2zvim5RhnK-

    Next, we'll float back to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parades of the '80s and '90s. Remember when seeing those giant balloons of your favorite characters was as essential as the turkey itself? From Garfield lounging in mid-air to Superman flying down Broadway, these parades were a kaleidoscope of wonder for our younger selves. Witness what I believe is the greatest parade float ever! He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: https://youtu.be/jHao1ewrU30?si=F3-yFoM9BJ37J4p9

    And finally, we'll fast-forward a bit to visit a more recent classic, the 'Slapsgiving' episodes of 'How I Met Your Mother'. These episodes brought a new tradition into our lives, blending humor, friendship, and, of course, the anticipation of a good ol' slap. Watch the entire Slap Saga! https://youtu.be/2NsA5eCYjwA?si=fY3oBPyuFMNCezRy

    And, of course, we can't forget the iconic Thanksgiving Day tradition for all the wrestling fans out there – the WWF Survivor Series. We’ll look back at the debut of two wildly different characters: the legendary Undertaker and the unforgettable, infamous Gobbledy Gooker. One brought chills and thrills, while the other… well, let’s just say it was a unique moment in wrestling history. The debut of the Gobbled Gooker: https://youtu.be/xh00VNHNB7o?si=aFQKgbAUA52iGJj3 The debut of the Undertaker: https://youtu.be/xp6ruCqGYKM?si=DGgh_Oz5v7pCcP3m

    So grab your favorite Thanksgiving leftovers, settle into your most comfortable chair, and let's reminisce about the Thanksgivings of yesteryears. Because today, we're not just sharing stories, we're sharing memories.
