Mark & Trey take a look at the headlines in 2009 and find quite a bit to talk about. From the Miracle on the Hudson to the Balloon Boy Hoax, this was a year all about sensational news stories. They cap things off by talking about the number one movie at the box office, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
Going into this week, Mark & Trey thought 1956 was going to be all about Elvis Presley. It turns out they were right. He's dominating the Billboard charts, blowing conservative America's minds on TV, and starting his film career with the biggest debut of all time in Love Me Tender. Maybe that's why The Ten Commandments was number 1 at the box office. Guilt. Shame.
This week the boys are headed back... to the past! They're in 1985 to meet up with the man who taught them everything they know about time travel: Doc Brown. They also take some time to try New Coke and get the high score on Tetris.
Keep your wits about you, because this week the boys head back to action-packed 1996! A year that saw Tupac get shot, Atlanta's Olympic Park get bombed, and Jeff Goldblum stopping an alien invasion. Welcome to Earth.
Love is in the air this week on the pod! To celebrate what is arguably the most romantic holiday, Valentine's day, the boys went back to what was inarguably the most romantic year: 1970! Not only was Love Story the number one movie in the country, Sylvester Stallone was making his own acting debut in a romantic little film called Party at Kitty and Stud's...
This week the boys are going back to one of the most radical years imaginable: 2007! Skateboard fever had taken over the nation, with even Spiderman and the Green Goblin getting in on the gnar-shredding action.
Head back to 1960 this week as the boys discuss the year that saw the start of Muhammad Ali's professional boxing career, one of the first computer animated films, and the American debut of the Granny Smith apple.
This week the boys are going back to visit the year Mark graduated high school: 2011! Harry Potter was finishing up his own schooling at Hogwarts. And Childish Gambino was off on his way to Camp.
Relive the final year of the 1950s this week on the show. Trey & Mark share all about the year that introduced the world to Barbie, saw the debut of The Twilight Zone, and welcomed Alaska and Hawaii into the United States: 1959!
As you can probably imagine, the changing of the calendar from one year to the next is pretty exciting around here. It gives Mark & Trey the chance to live the year everyone else just finished! This week on the show, travel back in time to 2025! The boys are shocked to find out what was apparently popular for an entire year while they've been away exploring the past every week.
This week on a very special episode of Wish We Were Then, the boys go back to 1983! It was a real fun-lovin' year, from ridiculous songs all over the Hot 100, to Ronald Reagan pretending he was in a Star War.
The boys are celebrating the holidays by going back to the classic Christmas year of 1954! Not only was White Christmas the number one movie at the box office, but some other holiday-specific things took place as well, we assure you.
This week on the show, Mark & Trey take a look at a year that is eerily similar to our own: 2014! Hear about everything that happened that year, from conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, to a Marvel Movie taking the top spot at the box office.
On this week's show, Mark & Trey journey to time when dinosaurs roamed the earth: 1993! They talk Jurassic Park, the X-Files, and the Waco siege.
Wow! Who would've known the boys would hit 20 episodes? Only Timeless Tony. Hear all about a year Mark & Trey absolutely loved: 1974! We've got info about Watergate, chicken tenders, and ten cent beer night in Clevelend.
Mark and Trey have a lot to talk about this week, as they reminisce over 2001. A year that had tons of landmark events, including the start of the Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings film franchises, the launch of Wikipedia, and the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center.
Mark and Trey are taking you back to a year particularly heavy with pop culture landmarks: 1988! It was a year that truly had something for everybody. Beetlejuice was in theaters, Phantom of the Opera was on Broadway, and Dippin Dots were in food courts.
This week the boys test the limits of their time travel abilities as they go back farther than ever before: 1961! Hear about everything from the start of JFK's presidency to an actual, bonafide jetpack.
Get ready for perhaps the sexiest year in our nations history: 1998! From presidential sex scandals, to songs about sensual slow dancing, to Jack drawing Rose like one his French girls, the topic was on everyone's minds this year.
For their first holiday episode, Mark & Trey are sent back to Halloween of 1984! The country is in the throes of the Satanic Panic, murders and dismemberments are all over the news, and audiences show up in droves to watch Ghostbusters.
