On this episode of Keepin’ It Retro, we sit down with the founders of Eastbay, Art Juedes and Rick Gering, for a conversation that takes you straight back to where it all started. They break down their humble beginnings and how they built Eastbay from the ground up, turning a simple catalog into a cornerstone of sneaker and sports culture. We also dive into their new book, The Book of Eastbay, which tells the full story behind the brand that shaped a generation.

This one is pure nostalgia. The stories, the insight, and the moments we never thought we’d get to ask about all came to life in this episode. If you ever flipped through an Eastbay catalog, circling what you wanted, this is a must-listen.

On this episode of the podcast, we take a trip back in time highlighting the most nostalgic cards from the 1991 Score Baseball set, break down iconic movie studio intros and debate which one reigns supreme, and revisit Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous with Robin Leach. We tap into the simplicity of analog appliances, the lost art of CD and cassette booklets, and the pressure of putting together that perfect first day of school outfit. We also rewind to 1977 and the cultural explosion of Star Wars, review PCU in the Walkbuster Movie Club, and we break down “double cheeked up” gate. The Super Retro Hotline is back in full effect, Fit Checks were absolutely on point, and as always… a ton more.

On this week’s episode, we sat down with the legendary rap group 95 South for Tuck’s Music Corner and got their side of the story behind “Whoot There It Is,” including the long-standing confusion with Tag Team’s version. We also broke down the top five rides from the 80s that our parents used to hotbox with cigarette smoke, talked about riding on pegs, and took a full trip through every era of music media from vinyl to streaming and everything in between. Discord Drops were on point, we tapped into the nostalgia of filling out March Madness brackets, Fit Check went crazy, Reel Review had Tuck bringing receipts, Will came through with a March Madness themed Card of the Week, and a ton more.

On this episode of the podcast, we put some heavy hitters from the 90s music scene head-to-head in our “This or That” segment. We also dive into 2Pac’s Makaveli era and why it felt like the beginning of a deeper artistic chapter for Pac. The nostalgia keeps rolling as we talk about pager codes being the original text messages, the mid-80s controversy when parents and teachers tried to ban Garbage Pail Kids, and the delicate art of cassette tape surgery. Tuck also tells the story of hearing Too $hort’s “The Ghetto” for the first time in a smoky arcade, plus we get into daylight savings time confusion, Discord Drops, a banging Fit Check, listener shout-outs, fan mail, and a whole lot more.

On this episode of the podcast we were LIVE on the tube, hanging out with the chat and getting into all kinds of nostalgic chaos. We counted down the Top 10 movie props we wish we owned, revisited the legendary Crash Test Dummies ad campaign from the 80s and 90s, and took a trip back to the peak nostalgia of Taco Bell’s old dining room décor. We also talked about the simple joys of Silly Putty on the newspaper funnies, the classic tradition of marking your height on the wall growing up, and how Sam’s Club has quietly entered the repro game with vintage Looney Tunes shirts.

The Super Retro Hotline was popping, Discord Drops brought the comedy, Mailbags were classic, and Fit Checks absolutely delivered. We also debated whether a Jim Carrey clone might exist, Tuck opened up about his recent back issues, and Reel Review had everyone cracking up. Plus, we kicked back, hung out, and hopped into the chat with the community

On this episode of the podcast, we break down the Top 10 hip-hop logos of all time, take a nostalgic trip back to Pizza Hut Personal Pan Pizzas and the legendary Book It! reading program, and revisit the iconic Bigfoot toy truck from Playskool. Tuck may or may not need a backiotomy, we ask the important question: how many “chains on the neck” is too many in one show?, and reminisce about class rings, gym class, and school emergency drills. Fit Checks were on point, 50 Cent vs. T.I. gets the spotlight in Tuck’s Music Corner, plus we hit the Retro Card of the Week, listener shout-outs, and a whole lot more.
