Video Stores, The DARE Program & TV's Coolest Dads (Feat. Lee Olson)
Episode 146
Monday, 25 August, 2025

Episode 146: This week the show welcomes back Mr. Lee Olson! And today we'll be having an interesting discussion about some random topics from the past. Questions like, were items and places actually better back in the 80s and 90s than they are today? Do we really miss Blockbuster video? Were sitcoms actually funnier back in the day? Or are we just romanticizing our youth and wishing we could all go back in time like Marty McFly? We'll analyze the decline of rock music, video arcades, and present our top picks for TV's Coolest Dads. 0:00 - Cold Open / Intro (Lee Michaels)1:31 - Things Their Kids Will Never Understand4:07 - Video Rental Stores7:42 - TV Guide / Social Media Sites10:06 - Street Lights / MTV / Rock Music15:26 - All Sport / Salad Bars / Cheap Fast Food24:42 - Baseball Cards / Funny Commercials29:09 - Video Arcades / Mixtapes / Sitcoms34:24 - Walkmans & Boom Boxes / Taxi Cabs38:42 - Pagers & Cell Phones41:40 - The DARE Program & 80s PSAs45:33 - Housing Prices / Snow Days49:12 - Vending Machines / Public Smoking55:18 - Phone Books & Encyclopedias58:23 - Cameras / Food Delivery Services1:05:02 - Phone Numbers / Film / Calling Households1:09:30 - Greatest TV Dads1:16:46 - Nostalgia & Looking Back / Outro🎵 MUSIC USED► Theme Song: Corbyn Kites - "Overdrive"--------------------------------☑️ SUBSCRIBE HERE ⇢ https://www.youtube.com/c/TheJoshandFriendsPodcast--------------------------------► APPLE iTUNES: https://rb.gy/b3bfht► SPOTIFY: https://rb.gy/jwhynd► STITCHER: https://rb.gy/su0smc► iHEART RADIO: https://rb.gy/uwfhih► TUNEIN: https://rb.gy/2p9o9f► PODCHASER: https://rb.gy/1r6im8► DEEZER: https://rb.gy/tbfjyw► LISTEN NOTES: https://rb.gy/o1fjj6--------------------------------★ FACEBOOK ⇢ https://www.facebook.com/TheJoshandFriendsPodcast/★ INSTAGRAM ⇢ https://www.instagram.com/TheJoshandFriendsPodcast★ TIKTOK ⇢ https://vm.tiktok.com/ZTdpLP5mT/ ☑️ SUBSCRIBE HERE ⇢ https://www.youtube.com/c/TheJoshandFriendsPodcast
