Fueled by Nostalgia

Critical Hit...OR MISS?!

Wed, 16 Sep 2026 15:17:02 +0000

Welcome back true believers! This week your favorite nostalgia fueled hosts take a quick glance at every something most every nerd has a love of...board games! Yup. Listen, at some point we've all played a board game. We all have family members we stopped talking to briefly because of a Monopoly incident nobody talks about. We've all made the dick move while playing Uno where we've done a draw three, draw four, reversed and THEN tossed down yet ANOTHER draw four (which side note, Taters claims is against the rules)!!! It's fine, it's all love within the safe confines of your favorite board game. Also, board games have a tendency to bring out the best and worst in most of us. We're all ultra-competitive when we sit down for a long four hour stretch of Risk. It is what it is, just enjoy the ride. So, without further ado, we are fueled by our love of board games and we are...FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

No Punt Intended!

If you're the very unique blend of nerd who loves all things pop culture AND can name every single starting QB in the NFL PLUS you might know where damn near every free agent signed this season then HAVE WE GOT THE EPISODE FOR YOU! That's right, it's FANTASY FOOTBALL TIME!!! LOL yes, we can hear all the traditional nerds groaning and it's FINE, you'll get over it. Also, we absolutely loathe those nerds who call it "sports ball". Good lord man, you've heard of football just call it by the proper name. Pretentiousness doesn't look good on you, loves. Anyways, that's the name of the game this week as Matt has taken it upon himself to create a very fun alternative version of fantasy football! So grab your favorite FF magazine that is no doubt already out of date even though you bought it only a month ago, check all the free agent signings and get your draft board ready because we are headed onto the gridiron this week! WE are..."FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!"

The Cake is a Lie (IYKYK) or GET OVER HERE!!!

Mon, 31 Aug 2026 12:28:48 +0000

Salutations and greetings, true believers as you have once again found yourselves plugged into the GREATEST nostalgia based podcast found in the HISTORY of mankind! That's right, we are, in fact, sexy and we know it (and now that song is stuck in your heads as it has been ours for a minute now). This week we have our favorite Pop Cultureologist, one Mr. Zach Taylor for a sit down and chat session. Zach is a fascinating guy because he is waaaaaay smarter than all of us. He's one of those people who just knows things and this week we're talking about his and Taters' love of video games. That's right, because let's face it, video games are a massive part of the history of pop culture and just one episode isn't enough. Grab your favorite controller, get your gaming chair positioned just right and make sure you're ready, Player one, because we are headed on the path to video game utopia! All this and more this week on "FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!"

Cody Ziglar RETURNS!!!

Tue, 25 Aug 2026 04:10:13 +0000

That's right true believers, the man, the myth the LEGEND Mr. Cody Ziglar has returned! This week we chat with Mr. Ziglar about "Spider-Man: Brand New Day", chat about comics and Cody takes a sec to pull back the curtain and chat about his love of Miles Morales, writing for Marvel and She-Hulk AND a little origin story action as we learn how he got started in comics. How cool is that?! Ladies and gentlemen, grab your web shooters, your favorite Spidey costume and get ready to ride the webs as we take you on another ride this week on..."FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!"

Still Sounding Good at ANY Frequency!!!

Mon, 17 Aug 2026 16:29:53 +0000

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!!! Yes, we've completed our FIRST FULL ROTATION AROUND THE SUN!!! That's right ladies and gentlemen, your favorite podcast has officially hit one year old. It's amazing when you think about where we came from to where we are now, running around like a drunk toddler, banging into things, making mistakes but laughing the whole way. We've learned so much in our first year but the most important lesson to consider is if you're going to do something like this, do it for you. Do it for the people you're recording with. Don't do it because you think you're gonna get thousands of listeners, do it because you have like-minded people you really like being around and wanna spend time chatting with. It's not always going to be great but it CAN always be fun. That's what this first year was for us. It was FUN and we love that you've gotten to spend it with us. So, without further ado we present our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY EPISODE!!! Enjoy and here's to more FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

Lost in Translation...Sometimes (Not Always)?

Tue, 11 Aug 2026 13:52:57 +0000

This week we dial it back a bit, no guests, just the ol' tripod coming right at you with some... recycled nostalgia goodness! Your three heroes took the time, so YOU don't have to, to watch some movies based on old skool properties. We cover all things from "Battleship", Masters of the Universe, both new and old, the Barbie movie... just all of it. Anything that's an old IP that's been resurrected because capitalism, we just run through it all. Some of it we loved, some of it we absolutely hated and wish had never existed and some of it was just kinda meh. Regardless, we did this for YOU! Thank you so much for listening as we are FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

Special Guest: The Dreamboats!

Mon, 03 Aug 2026 19:24:54 +0000

This week we are proud to showcase our latest guest, Johnny G. Wiz drummer for "The Dreamboats"! What a cool opportunity we had to sit down and have a chat about all things music. It's so cool to talk to someone so passionate about what they do and that's Johnny. When we have the opportunity to sit in with us, someone passionate about what they do... the conversation just moves by itself. It should feel fluid and easy and that's how things went with Johnny G. Wiz. We dabbled in everything from where their musical roots hit to the business of making music for a living, to the grind and work that goes into making their particular brand of music. So grab your favorite comb and pull it through your jet black hair, throw on your favorite leather jacket and get ready as we are fueled up and ready to go on this weeks edition of "FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!"

A Guest, Platypus Milk and...Retro Cartoons?!

Sun, 26 Jul 2026 20:48:51 +0000

Welcome to this week's edition of Fueled by Nostalgia! This week we welcome author Brian Cave, author of the "Old School Evil" series! Brain fell right in with this crew as we go over everything from old school cartoons we loved, Brian's amazing novels and...platypus milk? Yup, as usual we are a bunch of messy benches (been watching a LOT of "The Good Place", IYKYK) and you are HERE FOR IT. So, without further ado, make sure you've got your comfiest jammies on, grab your favorite bowl of sugary stupid unhealthy 80's cereal, find that remote your dad lost in the couch cushion last night and lock in because we have your attention, at least until Soul Train comes on! Unlike your parents though, we won't boot you outdoors and tell you you've been sitting too long because we know YOU don't NEED that additional exercise because you are... FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

Edible Pokemon!

Tue, 21 Jul 2026 04:53:48 +0000

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends! We are BACK and this week we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of Pokemon Go! Naturally one of us (Matt) took the assignment seriously and the other one (Adam) presented ideas for Pokemon you can eat. Taters then followed Adam down the dark path he started. Mind you, Matt isn't a better person because he too would not only happily eat Pokemon but he found the appropriate cookbook! The only Pokemon we can't dine on is Squirtle because Taters has a deep familial connection to turtles (message received, all turtle-based Pokemon are off the table. Literally!). All this and we finally find a spot where Adam is DEFINITELY not confident and more on this week's edition of "FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!"

Sun's out, Puns Out!!!

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 03:21:41 +0000

The title of the episode has absolute nothing to do with the actual episode but we LOVE a good pun. This week we talk about summers past, Taters delves into more of her life on the island growing up, Adam talks about having his toe mutilated in a fairly polluted NJ creek while trying to perform a rescue operation on a turtle and Matt throws out recommendations on his new favorite band! We're keeping it light here people because coming up we're ramping up with special guests, some fun games and more! That being said, it's time! Throw your favorite pop tarts in the toaster (strawberry and brown sugar are the only acceptable options in our opinion), press pause on X-Men '97 and kick back while we take you on an oral trip to to summers past! WE ARE...FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

Ain't that America?

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 02:19:43 +0000

Here we are people. It's almost that time again when Americans get out and celebrate their American-ness by eating copious amounts of charred food, blowing things up and, for some of us, going full Florida-Man. That happens, and it's fine. We get it, you're stoked about the birthday of your country. On this episode we talk about stuff that's amused us with the World Cup being in North America, watching foreigners eating American foods and realizing their lives are about to become 70% sadder once they're forced to go back to their sad, bland existence (Scotland, England, Norway...we're looking directly at YOU). Grab your favorite America-themed t-shirt, sit back and let us run the grill because today everything is FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

Cody Ziglar & Christopher Priest!!!

Fri, 19 Jun 2026 11:58:37 +0000

We got to talk to Christopher Priest and Cody Ziglar!!! How cool is that?! That's right, ladies and gents, here at FBN we don't bury the lead! Phoenix FanFusion 2026 was damn good to us! We're keeping this intro short and sweet, so enjoy as we take you on an auditory journey with two amazing creators, Cody Ziglar and Christopher Priest!!!

FanFusion Hangover

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 02:19:22 +0000

It's over folks, and we did not just survive Phoenix FanFusion 2026...WE THRIVED. We got to talk to some amazing guests, meet some great new fans and just have an all around hell of a good time. Taters CLAIMS she doesn't have FanFusion hangover but we think she's just playing tough as she doesn't like showing any weakness (she feels as though her enemies are listening? It's a whole thing.) Anyways, here's a quick rundown as how things went and then over the next few weeks we'll be posting new episodes regularly! Enjoy!

Artificial Intelligence: Did We Learn NOTHING from Terminator 2?!

Wed, 27 May 2026 04:07:23 +0000

We won't lie, we were a little nervous about our robot overlords taking over (Matt has a great respect for them so long as he can still watch funny animal videos...tbh all three of us feel that way) until we saw that video of the robot just kinda dying on the vine while attempting to moonwalk. This episode we go over our very valid mistrust of AI, Matt talks about being the old guy in line at Culver's and decides to have a very emotional moment while describing his feelings AND we give some deets about our upcoming live shows at Phoenix FanFusion! All this and MORE so even though it looks like our society might be heading to a Thunderdome-style finish where we're all fighting for water and gas don't worry because we've got you covered as we are... FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

Our First Jobs: Confessions of a True Carney

Mon, 18 May 2026 02:49:06 +0000

Welcome welcome welcome to the GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!!! Yes, I might be overselling it but Sun Tzu did say ""Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win". Translation, believe in yourself and we TOTALLY believe in ourselves. This week we did what we do best and that's sometimes just let the conversation be organic. We talked about our first jobs, (the 90's and early 2000's were a weird time for jobs) Matt's love of McDonalds' filet o' fish sandwich, Taters being an honest to goodness CARNEY and Adam's Mom accidentally releasing his childhood pet hamster P.H. into the wilds of his old ass apartment in NJ (R.I.P., P.H. Gone too soon, never forgotten...). All this and MORE on this week's edition of...FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

Nacho Average Moms!

Sun, 10 May 2026 18:07:29 +0000

Greetings, Combustors (for now, that's what we're calling our listeners. We're trying a thing, go with it)! Here we are, back with another week of nostalgic goodness. Adam, Matt and Taters LOVE their respective Moms, of course, but you know what they also love? RANKING THINGS! MAKING LISTS! This week we ran a draft for our favorite pop-culture Moms and then ran those lists through the interwebs using VERY sciencey/mathematical methodology to determine who's list has the strongest grouping of Moms. You know, that grouping of Moms who might dive headfirst into an alternate dimension to save their kid from a Lovecraftian monster, or maybe that Mom who's willing to fight off an unstoppable cyborg hell bent on killing their kid whilst still in utero. You know, just the things your average Moms will do for their kid. Be ready for anything as we celebrate all things MOM this week on...FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

Phoenix FanFusion Mode...ACTIVATED!!!

Mon, 04 May 2026 04:09:12 +0000

Why bury the lead, right? Today true believers we have the honor of hanging out with Zach Taylor! Zach is the Event Producer for Phoenix FanFusion and he is a fount of convention stories and experiences. We are a pop culture podcast and this is 1000% in our wheelhouse. We cover the full gamut of topics, from Matt talking about going to the first ever Phoenix ComicCon (back when it could legally be called by that) to Adam talks about defeating a Spider-Nerd to win the 2007 Phoenix ComicCon Greatest Nerd Award (he doesn't remember what it was actually called) using his mastery of Jeopardy! type gamesmanship. Understand something listeners: things like FanFusion aren't for the weak of foot or slight of heart. When you attend FanFusion you have to know you're going to be surrounded by 130k+ people for three days. You will be moving the whole time and if you step back, take it all in... it's a magical experience. So grab your longbox, your free show program and your comfiest pair of shoes and get ready to walk through an hour plus of entertainment as we talk all things FanFusion! This week we are fueled by FanFusion and we are...FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

Juuuuuust A Bit Outside!

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 04:49:06 +0000

This week we are all about SPORTS! No, we're not talking about the immortal album by the great "Huey Lewis & the News". It's OUR time to shine, Huey and we did just that. This week we're happy to present our first guest, the amazing Dave Barend! Dave can be found at collegebasketballtimes.com and he melded beautifully with our little tripod. So we wish we could say that we didn't just fall head first into movies yet again, but...yeah, we did. Only this time it was sports movies! So that's...different, right? Whatever, we do what we want. Dave is kind of known for ranking things and he did not disappoint. Also, he managed to stump Adam with his knowledge of obscure movies (Adam now has to watch "Cornbread, Me and Earl" and "The Fish that Saved Pittsburgh"). So grab your mouthguard, strap your pads on tight as we hit the field and go over our favorite popular and not quite as popular (see "Maurie", another one Adam has to watch) sports flicks! We love our sports movies but we aren't JUST fueled by competition, we are, as always... FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

Video Killed the Radio Star

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 21:17:33 +0000

This week we are fueled by our love of MTV, or at the very least what MTV used to be. We examine everything from our old school love music videos to TRL and some of the amazing cartoons featured on Liquid Television. For those of you who missed out on those years, you missed out on The Buggles, Cyndi Lauper being so perfectly weird, the amazingness that was seeing "Thriller" when it came out and the sad beauty that was Sinead O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U". For those who love animation? You were introduced via Liquid Television to "Beavis and Butthead" as well as "AEon Flux" and Adam's two favorite weird ass shows, "The Head" and "The Maxx" (RIP Sam Kieth). This is what we do here. We celebrate nostalgia and everything that comes with and we hope you're ready for a celebration of all things MTV as throw on our spacesuits, find our remotes and prep to plant our flag right alongside the moon man! This is...FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

Spies Like Us (Or THE EPIC RETURN OF TATERZ!!!)

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 20:57:59 +0000

You know them, you love them...SPIES! This week we talk all about the spy flicks and tv shows we love. From Austin Powers to Bond to the Dynamic Duo known as Bea and Twila...let's just say if you dig spies and this one doesn't have it maybe you really didn't need it. Also, the triumphant return of TATERS! 100%, this show doesn't work without the third leg of the tripod. We LITERALLY just tip over and start talking about apples, as clearly shown in our last episode. It wasn't bad but we get weird without Taters keeping us stable. Grab your tux, sports car and whatever other stereotypical spy stuff you can think of, sit down with us at the stereotypical high stakes European card game with us and prepare to GO ALL IN WITH POCKET ACES EVERY TIME as we lead you down another ADHD infused episode of FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

Gran'ma Taters Forever!!!

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 13:32:56 +0000

Losing our people sucks. Gran'ma Taters went to that big arcade in the sky. Taters shared a little bit about her with us all and she sounds like she was an amazing lady. The world is just a teeny bit darker but we're here to help lighten the load and brighten things up. Matt and Adam take the reins this week, sharing a little bit about their grandparents. Also, Matt also talks about his utter dominance on the baseball field, rocking the greater upstate New York little league world with his sporting prowess. We're not here to be downers, we're here to bring the party! We've been down but we're never out so let's go. Strap on your party hats and let's rock this celebration of life. It's like the title says "GRAN'MA TATERS FOREVER!!!"

Fully Tanked on the Late 1900s!!!

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 02:09:30 +0000

Let's face it, not everything from the past was great (new Coke, canned spaghetti on white bread and Tuna Helper, we're looking directly at YOU) but there are somethings that were legit solid. In this episode our intrepid time travelers jump into the way back machine and look back at businesses we used to hit up, places we found comfort, like the local video store. Naturally, as we are a bunch of ADHD-addled squirrels we go way off topic and head into spots we never planned to go but we think that's part of our CHARM. We also learn that Taters has NEVER sat around marinating in her own funk, Adam had ZERO issues with his musk and Matt misses...I don't wanna ruin it for you. Just listen to the show, yeah? We're here to bring you back to the late 1900s and our Time Machine is FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

#nostalgia #90's #humor #podcast #blockbuster

We are feeling REEL GOOD about these awards!!!

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 01:15:09 +0000

Yes, it's awards season and while we don't typically watch awards shows we do recognize the greatness that is movie making. In this episode we dare to attempt to distract you with our aural abilities, talking all about movies we loved that didn't win, movies we love that are winners and everything in between! And always remember, no matter what, clap for the winners, clap for those who didn't win and always pretend like you won because well, to your Mom (at least we hope, unless she hates you for some reason and that's just...that's just unfortunate) no matter what you'll always be a WINNER! So do your best to squeeze into that tux or black dress you've had in storage for God knows how long, shine your shows and get read to strut yourself because we're going HEADFIRST into awards season on this edition of FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!

WE ARE NOT THE HUNTED...WE ARE THE HUNTERS!!!

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 04:20:48 +0000

...and this week we examine the greatest hunter of all time...THE PREDATOR!!! Yes, your intrepid tripod of friendship dives face first into the goodness puddle known as "The Predator" franchise! We move thru the timeline, determining the order of goodness of these flicks and figuring out which flick was the best and which is by far the worst (hint, it stars an actor who's name rhymes with Glanny Dlover). Also we examine the trade of the century in where two mid players in the 1970's swapped not just WIVES but entire families. Yes, you read that right, kids and all. So grab your bats, gloves and unnatural appreciation for spines being removed the hard way from human bodies and get ready for this week's edition of FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!

Call Us new, Call Us ANTIQUE!!!

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 03:56:03 +0000

WE WENT LIVE!!! Listen people, we decided to go walk around Adam's FAVORITE antique mall, "Call it New, Call it Antique" (conveniently located in Mesa, AZ... convenient for us, maybe not you, but definitely for us. Well, Matt and Adam. Taters lives kinda far)!!! We saw old things, we saw things that were old but were new to US! Matt admired a grilled cheese making toaster, Taters admired a "South Side Serpents" pleather jacket and Adam admired EVERYTHING! It's our first venture recording out in the wild, so be patient with us! Also, it won't be our last, GUARANTEED! So find something, old, find something new, grab that VHS copy of "Arachnophobia" you borrowed back in 1993 and throw on something blue because we are about to throw our nostalgia ALL OVER YOU!!! Because we are... FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

The Daredevil Con Panel No One Asked For

Sun, 22 Feb 2026 17:40:31 +0000

You came BACK! We knew you liked us for us! This week sounds an awful lot like a comic-con panel as we dive face first into "Daredevil: Born Again" season 1 (currently streaming on Disney+) while comparing it to the classic Frank Miller/David Mazuchelli "Born Again" storyline from the Daredevil comics published waaaaay back in 1986 (spoilers, NOT THE SAME THING). Matt also shocks us with his take on the Nolan Bat-films, Taters and Adam do fun Tom Hardy/Bane impressions and so much more! This is it true believers, if you love Daredevil like we do and this one doesn't have it, you never truly needed it. Grab your red walking cane, your matching red tinted sunglasses, take hold of our arms firmly and have NO FEAR because WE are here to walk you safely through another episode of FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

We Love Comics!!!

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 04:53:37 +0000

...and we LOVE Wonder Man! This week we are all OVER the place! We talk about the Olympics! Normally Adam is the only one who's delusional, thinking he can do things that would most likely kill him but this time Taters and Matt take the CAKE. Adam thinks he can be a curler but Matt and Taters decided to go with extreme sports choices that will most likely result in a bad case of death. Either way, RESPECT because no risk it? No BISCUIT and if nothing else? OUR FBN HEROES ARE SHOOTING FOR IMMORTALITY!!! Enjoy!

A Galaxy Far, Far Away...

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 04:32:49 +0000

Good gravy we are a trio of nerds, I swear. This episode we dive into Star Wars and all the things we love about it, what our ideal demise in the Lucas-verse would be amongst other things. If you love Star Wars like we do, this is the episode for you! So grab your light saber, slice open your favorite Tauntaun (believe it or not that was spelled via autocorrect) and slide into that smelly, gooey mess while we lead you on an auditory adventure, keeping you warm and safe as we are FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

WE'RE BAAAAAAACK!!!

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 04:10:23 +0000

HERE WE GOOOOOO!!! We are BACK in 2026 and while we aren't better than ever, we are slightly improved. This week we talk about all the things we believed when we were kids (my god we were stupid), losing a loved one, Matt got attacked by a Flowbee, Taters' favorite shingles commercial (yes, she has a favorite) and Adam has kicked that TikTok drug. All this and more as we are, once again... FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

Goodbye, 2025! Year End Wrap Up!

Tue, 23 Dec 2025 15:17:08 +0000

Well...not gonna lie, 2025 was super weird. Granted, we're not touching on any of that stuff, we're focusing more on US. That's right, we're all about US. And the 1984 classic Christmas kinda-horror flick "Gremlins". Seriously people, if you haven't watched this movie in a long time know that it's WAY DARKER THANK YOU REMEMBER. I know, I squirreled but Phoebe Cates really messed me up. Anyway, we're wrapping up our year! This is it, and just a reminder, we're going on holiday break for a minute but we will be back in January. Thank you so much to everyone who listened. We really appreciate you! Enjoy the show!

Movie Review Time! "Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story"

Mon, 15 Dec 2025 23:43:12 +0000

I've said once and I'll say it again: WE LOVE LOVE. This week we review the soon to be deemed timeless classic Christmas love story "Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story". Hallmark Movies sometimes hit just right and this is no exception. Also, Adam offers Taters a free knee surgery, Matt expresses his appreciation for Chad Henne and 2/3 of us really wish this movie had 100% more Tony Danza in it. Strap in, get your beef on weck, grab a cold Labatt Blue and make yourself good n' comfy because you too are about to be "FUELED BY NOSTALGIA"!!!

Our Christmas Story Part 1

Wed, 10 Dec 2025 05:55:37 +0000

We love Christmas in a big bad way. So we're gonna be doing Christmas stuff all throughout December. This week, Adam was a bit of a punk. He had to watch "A Christmas Story" and he made it to the point when the Dad gets the leg lamp and was like "I've seen enough". He claims that in his defense it just wasn't...good. So he stopped. We're good with that. Taters also talks about her love of The Polar Express, Matt owns a Pink Nightmare and we determine that a Narwhal could DEFINITELY best Matt in Mortal Kombat! All this and MORE with this week's edition of "FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!"

Thanksgiving With A Side of Unearned Confidence

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 13:47:33 +0000

Happy Friendsgiving! Yes, we are friends and we are all about showing appreciation for one another! This week we learn that Matt has a secret identity, Adam can MOST DEFINITELY PHYSICALLY BEST A MOOSE IN HAND TO HOOF COMBAT (if need be) and, once again, Taters reminds us that things in Hawaii are better than the mainland (we're still looking at YOU, disappointing mainland McDonald's breakfasts!!! Get it TOGETHER!!!). It's time for everyone to head to the back of the closet, pull out those pants with the elastic waistband (you know the ones we're talking about), grab your favorite beverage and just chill. Let us take over and entertain you as you gently drift away with that wonderful wave of food coma-induced goodness, where you are no longer fueled by your economic anxieties, you are no longer fueled by the anger your overly political relative has caused and you're CERTAINLY no longer fueled by all the weirdness this timeline has brought in. WE SAY THEE NAY!!! YOU, FRIENDS, ARE NOW FUELED... BY NOSTALGIA!!!

Music Makes Us Lose Control!

Mon, 17 Nov 2025 13:52:19 +0000

WE CAN #DANCE IF WE WANT TO! WE CAN LEAVE OUR CARES BEHIND...and we do JUST THAT this week on "Fueled by Nostalgia"!!! Yes, it's true, if you're a #music lover, this is where we roll today. We love music, like some people enjoy music, they find it #relaxing, it's even been said that music doth soothe the savage beast. Not us, we LOVE music and we go through it this week. From Taters' love of early 2000s pop to Matt's snooty music sensibilities and then a slight curve to Adam and his wide variety of music loves, let's just say all the nooks and crannies are explored today. So grab a box of your favorite fruit roll ups or pop tarts, find your comfiest spot and kick your feet up as we take you on an auditory adventure this week on "FUELED BY NOSTALGIA"!!! #FBNPod on Facebook, BlueSky and Instagram

Grandma Taters is a Coin Machine LEGEND

Thu, 13 Nov 2025 16:42:46 +0000

Welcome, one and all! We're your own personal Time Machine! WE are YOUR DeLorean only WE don't need to hit 88 mph to take you back in time! Downside, even though we're great and all we don't have Huey Lewis & the News running our background track. Anyways! This week we head to the Mall! I know, it was a bit overpriced, the pizza wasn't EVER as good as it looked/smelled and yeah, the arcades always smelled like feet but we're not gonna lie, we miss the hell outta the mall. So strap in, grab all your quarters, ask your Mom for $5 for some food court goodies (Orange Julius anyone? Maybe some Hot Dog on a Stick? Sbarros???) and let's hit the Mall! Because, ONCE MORE WITH FEELING...we are FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

Matt can't read with too many...pictures?

Original airdate 11/3/25 Welcome back to the land that time forgot! This week we talk about how our own respective Halloweens went, Taters has the key to trapping humans, we answer the age old question of "if you're shorter and you see money on the floor, are you potentially faster than taller people?" and how much we all miss the days of video rental stores. If any of that amazingness appeals to you, get on board the nostalgia express! We are..."FUELED BY NOSTALGIA"!!!

Our First Halloween!

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 15:53:16 +0000

Original airdate 10/26/25 Welcome to our first Halloween episode! This is the first of two parts and this was so fun. We talk all about creepy ass things that've happened to us in our lives (Taters wins hands down), Matt tells a story about a creepy professor and Adam talks about his scary ass apartment that he lived in as a child. All this and more on our GIANT SIZED HALLOWEEN EXTRAVAGANZA!!!

Tron: Ares (Yes, more Tron. We know. Sigh)

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 15:49:26 +0000

Original airdate 10/21/25 This week the tripod ventured out into the WILD!!! They hit up their local cinema, threw down their hard earned money and watched "Tron: Ares"!!! Yes, you heard right, they PAID to see Tron: Ares. Two of the three loved it, had no issues with it. One (if you've listened to the show, you know who) had thoughts and feelings about it. All good, we welcome diversity! All this and more on this week's edition of "Fueled by Nostalgia"!!!

Kurt Russell & John Carpenter are like Mac & Cheese

We go over how Taters was astounded by the amazing special effects, how Matt was personally impacted by the intense storytelling involved with the script and how Adam loves the philosophy of proto-podcaster ol' Jack Burton. All this and more on this edition of "FUELED BY NOSTALGIA"!!!

Human Hair Hats for All!

Original airdate 10/6/25 Welcome to this week's edition of "Fueled by Nostalgia"! Fellow humans, it's WONDERFUL for you to stop by and hang out with us once more! Come, sit a spell while you listen to the gang respond to a viral video, talk about their love of video games and much, much more! Also, did we say video games? We go for it but don't be shocked if there's another episode because you can't possibly cover our combined 120+ years of video game love in one episode but we DEFINITELY touch on it. All that and more on this week's FUUUUUUEEEELLLLED BY NOOOOOOOSTALGIA!!! (ECHO ECHO echo echo...)

Ep 4: Our Melancholy Episode

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 04:49:48 +0000

Original airdate 9/7/25 This episode isn't necessarily nostalgia-centric, as we talk about 9-11 from our perspective. We do however remember the articles the Onion put out during that timeframe and Adam makes a promise he's pretty sure nobody thinks he'll keep. Thanks for listening!

Episode 3: Taters v MST3k

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 04:45:14 +0000

Original airdate 8/30/25 Episode 3: Taters doesn't like MST3k but she watched it for YOU! We go everywhere from Manos: The Hands of Fate to a total disrespect of the glorious race known as the Predators to Robert Pattinson kind of sucking as The Batman. We cover it all this week in our usual non-linear fashion! Enjoy!

Episode 2: Papier Mache Mickey Mouse, Predator and the Brilliance of Ishtar

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 04:42:57 +0000

Original airdate 8/30/25 Let's GOOOOOO!!! Adam/Matt/Taters take you all over the map this episode where we cover everything from Matt and his award winning Mickey Mouse costume, Taters' lack of respect for the Predator & the goodness that lives in the now classic Warren Beatty/Dustin Hoffman flick: Ishtar. Plus other stuff. It's a lot. We don't stick to a line, we ARE the line and that line goes everywhere.
