This week we’re taking a look at a classic sports comedy that blends zany humor with an underdog story. We’re heading back 45 years to the upscale Bushwood Country Club where this movie revolves around a diverse group of quirky characters. Danny Noonan is a young caddy trying to earn a scholarship to pay for college. He attempts to win the favor of the eccentric club co-founder, Judge Smails, while navigating the antics of other colorful personalities, including Ty Webb, Al Czervik, lots of ladies and the assistant greenskeeper, Carl Spackler. There’s also a gopher intent on tearing up the golf course and harassing all of its members. Rob, Dave and Kurt will tee off on this comedy classic checking out the highs and lows of this classic film. Caddyshack is known for its sharp one liners and memorable performances. Will Danny get the scholarship? Does Mrs. Smails ever get her stretch marks scrubbed? And where in the heck was Lacy when we were growing up? We’ll cover all this and more as we play 18 with the cast of Caddyshack.

We’re heading back 30 years this week to look at the 100 hottest songs in America, according to radio and album sales, for this week in January 1995. 1995 was diverse, reflecting a wide range of genres that dominated the charts and defined the cultural landscape of the mid 1990’s. Styles that were popular were grunge/alternative rock, Britpop to include bands like Oasis, Blur and Pulp, Pop Music, Hip Hop and R&B, Country music and the electronic/dance/house style.This week Rob and Dave look at the famous Billboard Hot 100 and choose our favorites from the best 100 songs at that time in 1995, in the US. Some will rock, some will spark nostalgia and some may have you remember, why in the heck was that popular? Any way you look at it, we’ll provide you with a great flashback to January of 1995 and have you remembering everything great about the mid 90’s. In short, 1995 was a year of musical variety, with rock, pop, hip hop and dance music thriving simultaneously. This eclectic mix reflected the growing segmentation of music audiences and the globalization of musical tastes. Gotta make that money man!

The 1980s were a golden era for pop music, often celebrated for its unique blend of creativity, innovation, and cultural impact. But what made the music of the time so awesome. Well, you had iconic artists and personalities, genre blending creativity, the synthesizer revolution, unforgettable melodies, MTV and a timeless appeal. The standard most artists could point to that illustrated their popularity was the Billboard Hot 100. Charting on the Hot 100 could boost the artist and make them more famous than they could have imagined. However, there were times that songs were on the radio or MTV and somehow didn’t make it onto the Hot 100. This week, we’ll look at some songs that are memorable of the 80’s but somehow didn’t make it onto America’s most popular music chart. Did those songs disappear or remain iconic? We’ll take a look at this as the decade of the 80s wasn’t just about creating music, it was about creating an experience. The 1980s left a legacy of songs that remain iconic, energetic, and as said before, timeless.

In the new world of playlists and streaming music, the youth of today will never know the painstaking steps that were needed to formulate a mixed cassette tape. Whether you were building the tape for a friend, a family member or that special someone, it was a process that took a lot of time, patience and thought to make sure the songs you selected were just right. Through a combination of borrowing tapes or recording off the radio you would put your masterpiece together and then wait anxiously to see what their reaction would be. So this week Rob is traveling back 37 years to the great year of 1988 and putting together a 90 minute mixtape that will show off his musical abilities. He will channel his 11 year old self and put together a list of songs that would surely impress anyone in 1988. So Dave and the audience this week will sit back and enjoy the music of 1988 and try to figure out if this would have been a successful mix that someone else would have really liked listening to. From Richard Marx and Bobby Brown to Paula Abdul and Milli Vanilli, we’ll feel like we're back in the great year of 1988.

As we get ready to turn the page on the New Year, there is no better way to end 2024 than to put together a kick ass playlist from the 1990’s that you can jam out to at all your New Year’s Eve parties. A great 90’s playlist should balance nostalgia, energy and variety that will keep a party atmosphere lively and engaging. Putting together a playlist this important can be daunting, but Dave and Rob will attempt their best to help you ring in 2025. When crafting a great list of songs you’ll need Party Starters, Sing-Alongs, Dance Floor Fillers, Hip Hop R&B Hits, Rock Anthems and perhaps midnight countdown songs. By mixing genres and tempos, you’ll keep everyone on their feet and enjoying the night. So grab some Boones Farm, flip over to Dick Clark and let’s all watch the ball drop together back in one of the best decades, the 1990’s.

This week, the Recall crew takes on, perhaps the greatest Christmas movie of all time. This is a film that follows the Griswold family as they prepare for a traditional Christmas celebration at their suburban Chicago home. True to form, Clark’s attempts to create the perfect holiday lead to a series of hilarious mishaps and escalating disasters. So Dave, Rob and Kurt will take a look at Clark’s Christmas obsession, impending family chaos, the stress of work and random holiday mishaps that all ultimately lead to a heartwarming resolution, and ultimately a great Christmas season. This movie has become a classic exploring the themes of family, perseverance, and the humorous chaos of holiday traditions. Clark’s unrelenting optimism and love for his family drive the story, even as everything seems to go wrong. Xmas Vacation is beloved for its slapstick humor, memorable one-liners, and relatability, becoming a holiday staple for audiences worldwide and is still a Xmas staple in a lot of households to this day.

In 1996, mild mannered mattress salesman Howard Langston must get a specific Xmas present for his son Jamie. Of course, the toy is sold out and hilarity and hijinks ensue as Howard goes on a chaotic journey throughout the Twin Cities in Minnesota. 1996’s Jingle All the Way stars Arnold Schwarzenegger as a detached father and husband who constantly disappoints his wife and son. This week, Rob, Kurt and Dave will go over this Christmas “classic” and see if the laughs and sight gags still hold up almost 30 years later. Will this workaholic dad and husband save the day and realize what’s most important? Or, will he actually learn nothing, be rewarded for being a terrible person and continue to live his crazy life? We’ll look at that plus the theme of capitalism and commercialism at Christmas all wrapped up in a shiny holiday package. Turbo Man may be the real winner, but we’re left wondering why no one called CPS!

Christmas songs are seen as a pivotal part of the holiday season. They bring feelings of nostalgia, festivity, family and memories. Classics like Jingle Bell Rock and Santa Claus is Coming to Town just make the season feel complete. However, not all Christmas songs are made the same, in fact some songs and artists should probably avoid the holiday season altogether. So what makes a bad Christmas song? Holiday cringe, ill fitting genres, celebrity cash ins and melancholy overload. This week Dave will introduce an entire playlist of what have been deemed as less than classic Christmas songs, and to be honest, are just bad overall. Rob and Dave will discuss, laugh and try to figure out why these were even recorded and who knows, amongst all of the crap, you may find a new holiday classic (which would be strange). So grab some chestnuts and hot cocoa and we’ll go a wassailing, hopefully not being arrested in the process for being a public nuisance and/or disturbing the peace. So Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, even if these songs don’t exactly always make you feel that way

We’re loading up in the Shaggin’ Wagon this week and heading someplace warm, a little place called Aspen to look back at one of the comedy classics of the 1990s, Dumb & Dumber. We’ll take a look at the story of two best friends, Lloyd and Harry, who are so clueless that they redefine the limits of human stupidity. 30 years ago this week, we piled into the theater to watch one of the most funny movies we’d seen as teenagers. This week, Rob, Dave and Kurt will try their best to go over all the best parts of Dumb & Dumber, as there aren’t any bad ones and see what hilarity will ensue. In the end, briefcases, hot peppers, Lamborghini’s and big june bugs are on the menu and Harry and Lloyd do everything they can to return a briefcase as we look back at 1994s Dumb & Dumber. And unlike Lloyd, we are aware that we’ve already landed on the moon.
