EP55: Top 5 Video Games of 1996, Backyard Boxing & Weekly World News Madness

This week, we’re throwing it all the way back! We’re counting down the Top 5 video games of 1996—a year that blessed us with pixelated perfection. Then we step into the ring and talk about a time when boxing your friends for fun wasn’t just normal… it was a rite of passage.
We revisit the goosebump-inducing Reading Rainbow intro, flip through the wildest Weekly World News headlines that made grocery store checkouts a full-blown adventure, and even take a deep inhale of that hot vinyl car interior smell that screamed summer’s here, buckle up.
Plus, we unpack that magical moment when the school year ended, and freedom hit like a sugar rush, and we dig into some epic mailbags full of love, nostalgia, and a few surprises from our awesome listeners.
