Was there ever a year that captured everything we loved about the 1980s better than 1984?

This week, Scott and Jason take a nostalgic trip back to a year packed with unforgettable music, blockbuster movies, Olympic drama, pop culture milestones, and the everyday moments that made growing up in the '80s unforgettable.

From Van Halen's 1984, Prince, and Cyndi Lauper, to Ghostbusters, The Karate Kid, Gremlins, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and The Terminator, it seemed like every weekend brought another instant classic.

Along the way, we revisit Reagan's landslide re-election, the 1984 Summer Olympics, the Soviet boycott, McDonald's legendary "When the U.S. Wins, You Win!" promotion, the Apple Macintosh, MTV's explosion in popularity, and dozens of memories that made 1984 feel like the year the decade truly hit its stride.

So grab your Walkman, hop on your BMX, and spend an hour reliving one of the greatest years of the greatest decade.

Throwback to our 10th episode.

First jobs are fun, right? Right? In this big 10th episode extravaganza, Scott tells the story of his first steps to the exciting world of business and high finances. Also, he (literally) stumbles upon on a mystery of architecture and city planning in front of a seemingly innocuous Central Oklahoma single-family home. Or is it?

Whether your church camp was all about service projects or strict rules, one thing is certain...you probably still remember it.

This week, Scott is joined by Jason Dean to compare two very different church camp experiences from the 1980s. Scott spent summers volunteering at Camp Aldersgate in Little Rock, helping maintain a camp that served children with disabilities. Jason grew up attending a Church of Christ camp where the rules were...let's just say...a little different.

From bunk beds, bug spray, campfires, and Kool-Aid to chapel services, camp crushes, counselors, and the unwritten rules every kid somehow understood, this episode covers it.

Whether church camp changed your life or you were just counting the days until your parents picked you up, this one will bring back memories.

What do you remember most about church camp? We'd love to hear your stories!
