<p>In this episode, it’s a battle of the titans as Mean Mark from the Or Is It podcast joins Wolfman Mike and Spunky Comstock to settle the ultimate nerd debate: Marvel vs. DC. Who’s got the better cinematic universe, and which brand rules the small screen? Then, in segment two, we dive deep into the heroic history of Underoos and ask the important question—what Underoos would be age-appropriate (and socially acceptable) for grown men today? Finally, we wrap things up with a round of The Name Game that starts off strong… and then completely flies off the rails.</p><p>Caped crusaders, TV junkies, and nostalgic weirdos—this one’s for you.</p><p>Send us a voicemail:</p><p>https://www.speakpipe.com/The70sVsThe80s</p><p>Listen to Mean Mark And The Candian Movie Crew Here:</p><p>https://episodes.fm/1738835569?view=apps&sort=popularity</p>

<p><strong>In this episode of The 70s Vs The 80s, we step up to the plate for a wild ride through Little League memories, boxing greatness, and the ultimate baseball bat battle!</strong></p><p><br /></p><p>Segment 1: Bad News Bears vs. Brian & Mike’s Little League Antics</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1976 classic The Bad News Bears set the standard for misfit baseball teams, but how does it compare to Brian and Mike’s real-life Little League stories? Spoiler alert: their experiences might be even zanier than Walter Matthau’s beer-fueled coaching and Kelly Leak’s motorcycle-riding heroics. Expect tales of bad coaching, chaotic plays, and unforgettable diamond disasters.</p><p><br /></p><p>Segment 2: George Foreman – From Warrior to Grill King</p><p><br /></p><p>Few athletes have had a career arc as dramatic as George Foreman. In the 70s, he was a brooding, fearsome knockout artist who took down Joe Frazier and battled Muhammad Ali in the Rumble in the Jungle. By the 80s and 90s? He was a lovable, smiling pitchman selling us the greatest kitchen gadget of all time. We break down Foreman’s transformation from boxing titan to grill-slinging icon.</p><p><br /></p><p>Segment 3: 1970s vs. 1980s Shootout Spectacular – Wood Bats vs. Aluminum Bats</p><p><br /></p><p>It’s the great bat debate! We go deep into the differences between the classic wooden bats of the 70s and the rise of aluminum bats in the 80s. Which had the better feel? The better sound? The greater environmental benefits? And most importantly— which made you look cooler at the plate?</p><p><br /></p><p>Buckle up for another action-packed episode filled with nostalgia, sports, and a few unexpected detours. </p><p>Batter up!</p><p><br /></p><p>Send us a voicemail:</p><p><br /></p><p>https://www.speakpipe.com/The70sVsThe80s</p><p><br /></p><p>Check out our sponsors:</p><p><br /></p><p>https://linktr.ee/og/image/thehoodratrecap.jpg</p><p><br /></p><p>https://episodes.fm/1738835569?view=apps&sort=popularity</p>
