It Came From The 80s

2 xennial best friends reminisce about the greatest decade in their lives, the 1980s. Join Jay and Tony as they jump back in their Delorean to travel back to a much simpler time in their lives.

In each episode, Jay and Tony will “Choose Your Adventure” on a 1980s topic that had a large influence on their early lives and still has a lasting impact today; nearly forty years later.

Journey back to initial “Virgin Stories” as the two friends share stories of their favorite toys, movies, and tv shows. Plus, they add a 21st century twist…”would our children be interested if the topic of the week came out today?!”
