CJ and Scott look back to 1983... when Ronald Reagan was president, Maggie Thatcher ruled the UK with an iron fist, and the Australian Prime Minister held the world record for downing a yard of ale! There were loads of disasters (really, far too many), and the Commodore 64 was the computer of choice for millions. We chat about the hundreds of tampons NASA's boffins thought Sally Ride needed for her shuttle flight, which made her the first US woman in space. We learn about CJ's obsession with the movie Wargames, and about the associated nuclear near-disasters of the era! You'll laugh. You'll cry. And you'll wish that you too could get married at the motor registry!
