This week we’re joined by Mark from Gravity Throttle Racing — the mastermind behind one of YouTube’s most exciting die-cast racing channels! Mark explains why adult die-cast racing has exploded in popularity, how he manages to do all the voices, camera work, and storytelling himself, and even shares insider tips for entering mail-in track races. Plus, we get a behind-the-scenes look at how he built his now-famous custom racing track.

(51:11) In our second segment, it’s Halloween season — and that means candy rankings! We run your favorite trick-or-treat sweets through our “70s Vs 80s” ranking system. Will your go-to candy land in the Miracle on Ice Gold Medal tier or sink to Elvis Dying on the Toilet status?

Finally, in “People Who Died,” we honor the lives of two absolute legends who couldn’t have been more different — but each left their own unforgettable mark on pop culture.

This week on The 70s Vs The 80s we’re stepping up to the plate and throwing that speed ball by you!

First, we break down our listeners’ all-time favorite baseball songs—from stadium anthems to classic rock tracks that capture the spirit of the game. Which tunes belong in the Baseball Hall of Fame, and which ones strike out?

Then in our second segment, it’s Hot Wheels Vs Matchbox.

We revisit the ultimate childhood toy car rivalry and remember the hours of fun (and crashes) we had with those tiny die-cast machines. Did you side with the flashier Hot Wheels or the more realistic Matchbox cars?

It’s another nostalgic showdown—70s style vs 80s style!

Segment One – 12 CDs for a Penny?

We share wild listener stories about the legendary Record Clubs. Were you the scammer or the scammed? Did those “12 for a penny” deals actually help rebuild your collection—or just fill it with albums you never wanted?

Segment Two – Vinyl vs. 8-Track vs. Cassette vs. CD

It’s the debate you’ve all been waiting for. Which format reigns supreme? From the giant artwork and warmth of vinyl to the sleek technology of CDs, we break down the pros and cons of each era. Spoiler: 8-tracks might not get much love…

Segment Three – Silver Screen Spotlight

A beloved Hollywood actor has passed away. Wolfman and Spunky pay tribute by ranking which of his films you should watch immediately, and which ones still hold up decades later.

It’s nostalgia, debate, and celebration—straight outta the suburbs!
