  • KISS Face--Willie Nelson Vs Mr. Roboto & Bono Vs Bono
    Jul 30 2025

    In this episode of "The 70s Vs The 80s," we dive into the world of concept albums, exploring two iconic examples that defined their respective decades. We'll discuss a stripped-down 1970s album that catapulted one artist to superstardom and a highly produced 1980s concept album that ultimately led to the breakup of a mega group.

    *Segment 1: KISS Face*

    Before we dive into concept albums, we kick off the episode with "KISS Face," where we explore the fascinating world of celebrities who have donned the iconic KISS makeup. From Gene Simmons to Paul Stanley, and beyond, we'll reveal some surprising facts about who has rocked the KISS look.

    *Segment 2: Concept Albums*


    - *1970s:* We'll discuss the stripped-down concept album that shot one artist to superstardom. Think raw talent, emotional depth, and a game-changing record that still resonates today.

    - *1980s:* We'll examine a highly produced concept album that, despite its ambition, contributed to the breakup of a mega group. Get ready for drama, excess, and a dash of rock 'n' roll hubris.


    *Segment 3: Guest Segment with Gaspar*


    Joining us for the second half of the episode is Gaspar, who'll take us on a journey through concept albums from the 1990s to 2025 that you really don't want to miss. From progressive rock to experimental electronic, Gaspar will highlight some hidden gems and modern masterpieces that showcase the enduring power of the concept album format.


    *Segment 4: Would You Rather - Bono Vs. Bono*


    In our new game segment, "Would You Rather," we pit two versions of Bono against each other. Imagine the U2 frontman facing off against... himself! We'll present some intriguing "Would You Rather" scenarios and see which Bono comes out on top.

  • R.I.P. Hulk Hogan Flash-Cast
    Jul 25 2025

    This special Flash-Cast episode is dedicated to the larger-than-life legacy of Hulk Hogan.


    We’re joined by longtime wrestling mega-fan Derek to pay tribute to The Immortal One and reflect on what made Hulkamania run wild through the 1980s and beyond. Was Hulk Hogan the single most important figure in the history of pro wrestling? Did his legendary body slam of Andre the Giant in 1987 at WrestleMania III truly change the sport forever?


    Brian still isn’t over Hogan leaving Minnesota behind in 1983 to go national—and global—with Vince McMahon’s WWF.



    Then Mean Mark joins the show to share what it was like growing up a full-blown Hulkamaniac, orange shirt and all.


    We also take a moment to honor two other pop culture icons who have recently passed away, making this an emotional, nostalgic, and occasionally shirt-ripping episode.


    So say your prayers, take your vitamins, and join us as we remember Hulk Hogan—brother.
