ONE DRINK PODCAST

Send us Fan MailBack before smartphones ran our lives, one “mobile” phone changed everything—and yeah, it looked like a cinder block with an antenna. In this episode of One Drink Podcast, we crack open a cold one and rewind to the debut of the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X—the original “brick.”We get into what it cost (brace yourself), how long you could actually talk before it died (hint: not long), and why carrying one in the 80s basically screamed, “I’ve made it.” From dropped calls the size of a lunchbox to the moment the first c...

Send us Fan Mail “Before fancy gyms, before TikTok trick shots—there was a plastic hoop hanging on a bedroom door and a foam ball that made you feel like Michael Jordan. In this episode, we’re throwing it back to the 80s when Nerf basketball ruled the house. We’re talking buzzer-beaters over the bed, dunk contests that ended in broken lamps, and the unwritten rules of ‘don’t wake your parents.’ Every kid thought they were one game away from the NBA—meanwhile, Mom’s yelling about the dent in the wall. Crack a drink and relive the glor...

Send us Fan MailOn this episode of One Drink Podcast, we throw it straight back to the loud, ridiculous, awesome 1980s. One drink in and two random 80s questions hit the table.First up: Rocky vs. The Karate Kid.

Send us Fan MailBack in the 80s, subtlety wasn’t exactly the theme. If it exploded, launched, or came with a plastic survival knife the size of your forearm, it was probably on a toy shelf next to the board games. Enter the legendary Rambo toy kit — the kind that came loaded with plastic machine guns, oversized combat knives, and enough pretend grenades to make your mom question her life choices.Inspired by First Blood and the larger-than-life chaos of John Rambo, these toy sets weren’t just action figures — they were full-blown backyard war camp...

Send us Fan MailFrom backyard bonfires to bachelor parties that definitely went too far, this episode of the One Drink Podcast breaks down the many ways guys hang out—and argues (loudly) about which one is truly the best.

Send us Fan Mail Tonight’s debate is pure ’80s rock royalty: Guns N’ Roses vs. Bon Jovi—who was bigger, better, and more legendary?
