Episode 101: Top 10s of the 80s – Part II

Jan 16, 2026

The nostalgia keeps rolling! In Part 2 of their epic 10 Top 10 Lists of the 80s, Tim and Greg kick things off by recapping their fantasy football season—complete with heartbreak, bad beats, and dreams of a championship that just slipped away. Then it’s back to what they do best: diving headfirst into the decade that raised them.

The Dads close out their countdown with their final five lists: Albums, Toys, TV Shows, NES Games, and Movies. From the smooth sounds of Hall & Oates to the pixel-perfect adventures of Zelda, from The Cosby Show to Gary Gnu, and from Culture Club to The Goonies—this episode is a rapid-fire blast of pure 80s goodness.

If you love big hair, bigger hits, and endless nostalgia, this one’s for you. Don’t just listen… relive it.
