Fights to the death between clay versions of celebrities? Some of the weirdest but true news stories of the 1970s? My favorite athletes of the 90s? How could so much fun nostalgia be stuffed into one show? Carefully.
Episode 158 starts with news stories from the 1970s that are weird for different reasons. Some are hilarious, some are horrifying, some are so bizarre but one thing they have in common is that they are true.
Back In the Day there was a show that featured clay versions of celebrities fighting to the death. That show was Celebrity Deathmatch and it was fresh, new, and hilarious. We look at why this show was such a popular part of MTV for years and wonder about if it could be made today.
This week's new Top 5 looks at the great decade that was the 1990s and more specifically some of the best (in my opinion) athletes that played then. Your lists will definitely vary.
There is a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule featuring the story of the birth of the NFL.
