Letter from Natalie @RadioTatas

"Hey guys - this is Natalie aka Supermeowy on Twitter from the “Radio Tatas” show. I binge listened to all of your episodes. You are rock solid!! Lots of great content and I just love what you're doing. I listened to the latest episode first bc I thought that would be this season's latest Goldbergs! I had no idea you've only been doing it a few episodes. I can't get S1 on Hulu, so this is great to hear the recaps of the S1 episodes, but what I REALLY like is how you weave in your own stories from the 80s in the recaps. I like your energy and the way you interact and your little bits that you have but what you guys are doing is fantastic. . I'm going to see if I can sneak in a review on this week's Radio Tatas, Can't wait to hear more!!"

Thanks so much Natalie! You guys (gals) are awesome!

Want to buy a Tron Light Cycle? Well you can right HERE. It’s only $55,000

We chat about an AWESOME game from the ‘80s.....Arati 2600 game Surround:

Todd also had this Star Wars action figure carrier. Did anyone else ever own this?

Somehow we got onto how you bury a horse.....you bury their head and not the entire body. Todd talks about the Kentucky Horse Park outside of Louisville KY. A great place to visit to see some retired famous racehorses and the burial location of Man o’War.

Todd and Taras talk about their neighborhood friends. Todd’s best friends are Stuart and Justin and he’s known them since he was 6 years old! Todd tells the story of how his friend Stuarts step dad was Jonathan Edwards who sings “Sunshine”. Also how Jonathan coached their basketball teams as kids. Todd’s dad and his friend Justin’s dad coached their baseball teams for a couple years.

Todd tells his story of how our friend James took a picture of Todd stretching in his underwear....and now James keeps it for blackmail purposes.

We chat about how our parents interact with one another...similar to how Bev and Murray communicate.

Taras still wants to find out if his Mom as seriously in the Ukrainian mafia.

Barry gets caught calling a (976) number by Erica..976-FOX. He accidentally chooses the "Erotic Boat Rides" option. So we had to create a Social Media image for this:

We of course talk about talking on the phone in the 1980’s. We had long long phone cords that could stretch 30+ feet!

Bev throws an “F-BOMB”

Todd prepares for his trip to PA to hang out with Beverly and the Kremps....

Lainey, Erica, and Barry plan a “Risky Business” inspired party, just like the movie, while Lainey’s dad is out of town. Later, when the party gets out of control, Beverly jumps to the rescue and Lainey is happy to have a mother figure like Beverly in her life, but for how long?

September 23rd 1980-something

I love how Murray says “I can’t hear what Jake is saying to the Fatman” You ever date or have a love interest that was long distance? Kids nowadays don’t realize the difficulty of trying to communicate via long distance

Todd: Yes. But we’d write letters mostly. Can you kids now actually fathom the idea of waiting 2 weeks for every text response??? lol!!!

Could any younger fans handle a: “What was it like to live in the ‘80s”

We write to set up a date and time to call, because my parents would FREAK OUT if they saw an unauthorized long distance bill.

Bev becomes Laney’s Temp Mom

You ever have a friends parents act or be your temp parents? Going on vacation with a friends etc?

Todd: Kinda..I went on one trip with one of my best friends Justin. I can’t remember what we did, but it involved someone tracking us down to where we were staying and hem confronting his parents about whatever we did. Justin’s Dad yelled at both us us..and at one point told me not to hide behind Justin, lol. I had never been yelled at by someone else’s parent before..ha!

Outsmarting the phone company......(ad-ababy-it’s-a-boy)
