I Hate that I Love that Song!
August 13, 2022 19:00 - 51 minutes - 36 MBPat and Dave break down the songs of the 80s that they are embarrassed that they like. As usual, the conversation takes some serious twists and turns, and it seems to go off the rails even more as the drinks flow a little more steadily. They talk about Rod Stewart, Brazilian Samba music, Kix, and Dexys Midnight Runners among many others. They also take a WAY too deep of a dive into maybe the worst movie ever made (but with some of the best actors of the 80s). And lastly, they discuss the...

Alone/Together in the 80s - Live from the Pandemic of 2020
April 21, 2020 15:00 - 43 minutes - 29.8 MBAll it took was a major worldwide pandemic to get Dave and Pat back together (virtually) to discuss 80s music once again. It's been almost a year since the last episode. Since we are all stuck inside, the guys decided to lighten the mood by talking about the songs of the 80s that were all about being alone, lonely, by yourself... well you get the idea. So grab a cocktail and listen to the guys walk down memory lane and hopefully bring you a laugh or two. You will hear a little Tiffany, ...
Under-Rated Artists of the 1980's (Re-Release)

Saxophone Songs of the 1980's (re-release)
April 08, 2020 05:00 - 32 minutes - 22.1 MBOriginally aired on November 14, 2018. Pat and Dave discuss and debate the best saxophone jams of the 1980s. As you may notice, we had not developed the 80s Classics and Cocktails name yet, but we had already done away with the name "The 80s Music Rabbit Hole"....that was awful and way too hard to say. Not that we do any better with saying "Classics and Cocktails" in later episodes, but that probably has more to do with the amount of cocktails consumed. Enjoy!
