Pete and Brad are lifelong friends. Hailing from Minnesota, their lives have been enveloped by pop culture from the 1980's to the present. Pete and Brad grew up together in a small rural Minnesota town and they have been consuming movies, television, music, books, sports, and more ever since. In middle school, they added Giff to their inner circle. Mirroring real life, Giff wasn't a full-time host of PCY from the beginning, but he did make it after all! In every episode, this threesome focuses on one year between 1980-2020. One host chooses a piece of pop culture to revisit from that year that was important to him in some way. In the episode, they break down these movies, albums, shows, and more with varying opinions and stories. This journey through the years may be mindless fun, but it is also sure to bring back memories of your own! Want to support our show and become a PCY Classmate?

Our first topic for 2005 is the classic sitcom How I Met Your Mother. Brad chose this after watching the whole series as it was aired, and then after reliving its brilliance on a second watch a year ago. We break down a couple of the early episodes, including the pilot, but we get into much more. Giff is also a huge fan, and now Pete is on his way as well.
In addition to our discussion of the show, we each also share our top 5 sitcoms of all-time. Does HIMYM make the cut? Does your favorite show match up with one of us? Listen and find out!

We've done a couple action movies before (Road House, Point Break), but not any as serious as this week. While those movies may be loved for the camp factor, The Bourne Identity actually tries to be a quality movie. Matt Damon's foray into the action genre was a huge success, spawning many sequels and reboots. What did we think? Is this series a classic like the Die Hard movies?
Speaking of Die Hard and other action movies/series, we round out this episode with our favorite action heroes of all-time. Is John McClain number one? Is our list representative of both tough guys and tough gals? Listen now and find out. Then let us know who your favorites are.

Rounding out 2020 is yet another great Tv show that helped Brad through the pandemic: Ted Lasso. The first season of this AppleTV series was one of the greatest single seasons in television history. You can't help but fall in love with the characters and the messages in each episode. This is all Brad's opinion of course.
Pete and Giff have now been watching as well. Do they agree? Will there be friction in the PCY universe? We focus on the first three episodes as a basis for out chat. After sharing all the Lasso-isms, we finish by ranking our favorite TV shows of 2020 overall. I would not bet on loving this episode...unless you want to win a buttload of money!

The fun continues with our next episode focused on TV shows filmed in or related to Minnesota. For this one, Pete has created a fun and challenging Who Am I? game. But Brad and Giff need some challengers.
This time we have a returning guest: Courtney from our classic Billy Madison episode. Will she and Giff remain in each other's good graces after this competition? We also have another first-time guest. Rhonda is a dear friend and one of our Buy Me a Coffee supporters. She'll tell us about her pop culture influences before things heat up again. Come play along with us!

"Hello. I'm Johnny Cash." Pete's choice for 2005 is Walk the Line, the biopic starring Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon. We all grew up fans of The Man in Black, so this movie was a big deal for everyone at PCY. We loved breaking down this movie full of terrific performances and even better music.
A fitting way to cap this episode off is by choosing our top five Johnny Cash songs. What's your favorite? Does it make it onto one of our lists? Listen and find out.

The next two weeks are all about the Foo Fighters. Both Brad and Pete are super fans, and in light of recent events, we decided this was the time to talk about one of our favorite bands ever. The other original host of PCY, Dave, is also a super fan, and he is here to join us as well!
In this first episode, we discuss why we love the band, concert memories, rank the albums, and share our favorite songs. There is so much to cover, and it is time well-spent. So breakout of whatever you're doing. This is a call to listen to a great episode.

July is a special month for PCY. Last year we went on vacation and talked about all the Vacation movies. This year we're doing a staycation. Everything is Minnesota-related! This first episode will tell you everything you'd want to know about our great state.
10,000 lakes, the Mall of America, the State Fair, Paul Bunyan, Minnesota Nice, hockey, and the weather are just some of the topics we tackle here. Minnesotans will love this one because we love our state. Non-Minnesotans will love it for the education and fun!

For December we are doing a mashup of Christmas topics and the year 2003. To kick it off, we focus on Christmas music. Borrowing the format from fellow podcast Playlist Wars, we each created what we think is the perfect 10 song Christmas playlist. Did Giff, Pete, or Brad create the best one? How hard is it to cut down so many wonderful options to only 10?
Speaking of Playlist Wars, we have a special appearance from host Brian Colburn. He shares three of his favorite songs before we begin. Please check them out. If you like music, you'll love what they do. So roast some chestnuts by your open fire and enjoy this festive episode!

Now that you know all about Minnesota, it's time for some fun. The next three weeks are all guests and games. This episode focuses on movies filmed in or related to Minnesota. For this one, Giff has created a brilliant spinoff of the initials game made famous by our local radio station KFAN.
To challenge Brad and Pete, we've got three other contestants. You already know Dave. He's back! But so is Brian Rappe from our Office Space episode! Then we have newcomer Chris. He'll tell us about his pop culture influences before things get heated as we all face off for the pride of being #1.

This is it!! This is the 100th time we've done this. To commemorate, we are talking about maybe the most perfect film ever made: Three Amigos! OK, maybe it isn't perfect, but to us, it encapsulates so much about who we are and what has influenced us that it is the perfect choice for this occasion. From Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, and Martin Short to cameos from Jon Lovitz and Phil Hartman to El Guapo to Santa Poco to the music of Randy Newman, this movie has everything. Oh, and it came out when we were 10 years old in 1986, the perfect time to hit us just right.
In addition to covering every aspect of this classic, we also share our favorites episodes to share with you so far in the first 100 AND we share the top 5 things we were excited to show our kids as they were growing up. This is a jam-packed episode!
If you are a regular listener or even checking us out for the first time, we can't thank you enough. Thank you for indulging our silly thoughts and jokes.
