We’re taking it back to the early ’90s and our very first jobs—the uniforms, the paychecks, the cringe-worthy moments, and the lessons we didn’t even know we were learning. From stocking shelves to flipping burgers to saving up for that first CD player, these stories aren’t just about work—they’re about growing up, finding independence, and creating the memories that shaped us. 🎙️ Laugh with us, groan with us, and maybe even remember your own first job along the way. 👉 Listen now to The Cor M...
In this episode of Cor Memories, we rewind to the moment a new channel forever changed music and pop culture—MTV. From the very first broadcast in 1981 to the explosion of music videos that turned unknown bands into household names, we revisit the energy, excitement, and growing pains of a cultural revolution. Join us as we remember the VJs who became our after-school companions, the videos that pushed boundaries, and the way MTV reshaped how a generation discovered music. It wasn’t just tele...
In this episode of The Cor Memories Podcast, we dive headfirst into a sun-soaked, popcorn-fueled fantasy draft of the greatest summer movies from the 1980s. With strict rules (only films released between June and August, one movie per year per drafter, and a snake-style draft), the competition gets intense — and the nostalgia runs deep. From action-packed blockbusters to feel-good classics, your hosts Corey, Joe, and Tank each assemble their dream lineup of 80s summer cinema. Expect laughs, d...
On this month's episode, we’re jumping into the hot, hazy, Kool-Aid-stained days of summer in the 1980s. These were the summers of cassette tapes in boom boxes, Otter Pops melting faster than you could eat them, and popsicles turning your tongue radioactive blue. We built ramps from old plywood, drank from the hose, and somehow survived with no sunscreen and very little supervision. In this episode, we’re talking with fellow nostalgia nerds about what summer really felt like when you were a k...
Before the prequels, before streaming, before the internet could dissect every frame — Star Wars was something you felt. And if you were a kid growing up in the 80s or 90s, chances are, it was more than just a movie. It was part of who you were. Maybe your first glimpse of that galaxy far, far away came from a crackly VHS tape, a fuzzy TV broadcast, or a worn-out copy taped off of HBO. Maybe it was the sound of lightsabers in the backyard, or plastic figures scattered across your bedroom floo...
We’re diving into one of the most unforgettable parts of growing up in the 80s and 90s: the fashion. The neon colors that could practically blind you. The jean jackets two sizes too big. The bucket hats, slap bracelets, Zubaz pants, and don't even get me started on hypercolor shirts that betrayed you the moment you started to sweat. Some of these outfits made us feel like absolute rockstars... others make us wonder how our parents let us leave the house like that. (And yes, there are definite...
Close your eyes and picture this: It’s a Friday night in 1980-something. You just spent the whole week at school, counting down the days to this moment. You hop in the backseat of the family station wagon, maybe Mom and Dad let you bring a friend along. As you pull into the parking lot, you see it—the glowing marquee, those big, bold letters spelling out the latest blockbuster. It could be Back to the Future, Ghostbusters, or The Goonies—it doesn’t even matter. You’re about to step into anoth...
The 1980s… A decade of neon colors, mixtapes, and Friday nights at the roller rink. It was a time before smartphones and social media, when a folded-up note passed in class could make your heart race, and the sight of your crush at the arcade felt like destiny. Young love in the '80s was something magical, wasn’t it? It was innocent, awkward, and beautifully simple. A glance across the cafeteria, a slow dance at the school gym, or waiting by the landline hoping they'd call. Back then, love w...
