The word &#34;nostalgia&#34; is defined as a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or a place with happy personal associations. Our podcast is three friends who move throughout the past and share their experiences, everything from a love of pop culture to food or just general life experiences. Also? It&#39;s pretty damn funny, too. Connect with us on social media!

We all know that one of the things that catch people in the feels is being exposed to stuff that brings on that wonderful feeling of nostalgia. That&#39;s why we do this show, because it gives three old heads the ability to chat each week about stuff that takes us back to that spot, that place where we were maybe exposed to something new, something that would inevitably imprint itself on our hearts. That being said, when a show like &#34;Totally 90&#39;s House&#34; comes into our world we are all about it! This week we talk about icons of the 90s who might&#39;ve slipped out the limelight, our love of this weird show where 90s icons remodel old homes, Adam talks about his dominance once again in Fantasy Football (Matt might already be mathematically eliminated!) and Taters enters a legally binding agreement to watch &#34;The Ice Pirates&#34; and provide a review for her dozens and dozens of fans! All this and more this week on &#34;FUELED BY NOSTALGIA&#34;!!!#totally90shouse #nostalgia #podcast #humor #hgtv

Welcome back, Combustors! That&#39;s right, you&#39;ve found yourself once again riding with us for at LEAST an hour as we talk all things going on in the world. This week we are talking about how physical media has become a hot button issue, what with Sony and their Playstation shit choices really coming to the forefront. On top of that it&#39;s interesting how younger generations are actually very into starting music collections which you know for a FACT &#34;the man&#34; does not want because the reality is they can&#39;t sell you the newest greatest thing if you&#39;re constantly now looking backwards at the greatest old thing! Yeah, that was a lot, I know. Anyways, it&#39;s fine. IT&#39;S FINE. On the plus side, none of the tripod are get off my lawn people, we appreciate a lot of modern technology we just...we happen to rebel against trash that&#39;s going to hurt or secretly hold societal advancement back. That&#39;s our goal, SOCIETAL ADVANCEMENT. Can&#39;t change the name of the show though, Matt had hats made. Grab your FBN hat, your Discman (or walkman!) and let&#39;s all ride off into the sunset together this week on...&#34;FUELED BY NOSTALGIA&#34;!!!

Welcome back my friends to the show that never... lol well it didn&#39;t end but it took a break. Took a breather. And no, before anyone asks, Adam wasn&#39;t jailed by the current administration as they realize HE is the true brains behind Mamdani and the DS movement. Also, no, Taters did NOT find herself in a &#34;Lost&#34; scenario, where she was spending her time on a tropical island fleeing polar bears and smoke monsters (spoilers! The polar bears were IMPORTED!) AND FINALLY, no Matt did not find himself on a week long wine country bender ending with him riding various trains downing copious amounts of blueberry wine whilst turning his teeth a weird shade of Smurf blue. No, we had our things, mainly Matt and Taters. Adam sat at home and played FIFA and consumed reality TV and NFL. Taters attended Gran&#39;ma Taters&#39; Celebration of Life. (pour one out for la gran jefa!) and Matt attended a wedding (WE LOVE LOVE!). We catch up, make each other laugh, find out how Adam is outright spanking these fools at fantasy football and MORE on this week&#39;s edition of...&#34;FUELED BY NOSTALGIA&#34;!!!

Welcome back true believers! This week your favorite nostalgia fueled hosts take a quick glance at every something most every nerd has a love of...board games! Yup. Listen, at some point we&#39;ve all played a board game. We all have family members we stopped talking to briefly because of a Monopoly incident nobody talks about. We&#39;ve all made the dick move while playing Uno where we&#39;ve done a draw three, draw four, reversed and THEN tossed down yet ANOTHER draw four (which side note, Taters claims is against the rules)!!! It&#39;s fine, it&#39;s all love within the safe confines of your favorite board game. Also, board games have a tendency to bring out the best and worst in most of us. We&#39;re all ultra-competitive when we sit down for a long four hour stretch of Risk. It is what it is, just enjoy the ride. So, without further ado, we are fueled by our love of board games and we are...FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!!! Yes, we&#39;ve completed our FIRST FULL ROTATION AROUND THE SUN!!! That&#39;s right ladies and gentlemen, your favorite podcast has officially hit one year old. It&#39;s amazing when you think about where we came from to where we are now, running around like a drunk toddler, banging into things, making mistakes but laughing the whole way. We&#39;ve learned so much in our first year but the most important lesson to consider is if you&#39;re going to do something like this, do it for you. Do it for the people you&#39;re recording with. Don&#39;t do it because you think you&#39;re gonna get thousands of listeners, do it because you have like-minded people you really like being around and wanna spend time chatting with. It&#39;s not always going to be great but it CAN always be fun. That&#39;s what this first year was for us. It was FUN and we love that you&#39;ve gotten to spend it with us. So, without further ado we present our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY EPISODE!!! Enjoy and here&#39;s to more FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

This week we are proud to showcase our latest guest, Johnny G. Wiz drummer for &#34;The Dreamboats&#34;! What a cool opportunity we had to sit down and have a chat about all things music. It&#39;s so cool to talk to someone so passionate about what they do and that&#39;s Johnny. When we have the opportunity to sit in with us, someone passionate about what they do... the conversation just moves by itself. It should feel fluid and easy and that&#39;s how things went with Johnny G. Wiz. We dabbled in everything from where their musical roots hit to the business of making music for a living, to the grind and work that goes into making their particular brand of music. So grab your favorite comb and pull it through your jet black hair, throw on your favorite leather jacket and get ready as we are fueled up and ready to go on this weeks edition of &#34;FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!&#34;

So, without further ado, make sure you&#39;ve got your comfiest jammies on, grab your favorite bowl of sugary stupid unhealthy 80&#39;s cereal, find that remote your dad lost in the couch cushion last night and lock in because we have your attention, at least until Soul Train comes on!

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends! We are BACK and this week we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of Pokemon Go! Naturally one of us (Matt) took the assignment seriously and the other one (Adam) presented ideas for Pokemon you can eat. Taters then followed Adam down the dark path he started. Mind you, Matt isn&#39;t a better person because he too would not only happily eat Pokemon but he found the appropriate cookbook! The only Pokemon we can&#39;t dine on is Squirtle because Taters has a deep familial connection to turtles (message received, all turtle-based Pokemon are off the table. Literally!). All this and we finally find a spot where Adam is DEFINITELY not confident and more on this week&#39;s edition of &#34;FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!&#34;

The title of the episode has absolute nothing to do with the actual episode but we LOVE a good pun. This week we talk about summers past, Taters delves into more of her life on the island growing up, Adam talks about having his toe mutilated in a fairly polluted NJ creek while trying to perform a rescue operation on a turtle and Matt throws out recommendations on his new favorite band! We&#39;re keeping it light here people because coming up we&#39;re ramping up with special guests, some fun games and more! That being said, it&#39;s time! Throw your favorite pop tarts in the toaster (strawberry and brown sugar are the only acceptable options in our opinion), press pause on X-Men &#39;97 and kick back while we take you on an oral trip to to summers past! WE ARE...FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

Here we are people. It&#39;s almost that time again when Americans get out and celebrate their American-ness by eating copious amounts of charred food, blowing things up and, for some of us, going full Florida-Man. That happens, and it&#39;s fine. We get it, you&#39;re stoked about the birthday of your country. On this episode we talk about stuff that&#39;s amused us with the World Cup being in North America, watching foreigners eating American foods and realizing their lives are about to become 70% sadder once they&#39;re forced to go back to their sad, bland existence (Scotland, England, Norway...we&#39;re looking directly at YOU). Grab your favorite America-themed t-shirt, sit back and let us run the grill because today everything is FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!#America250 #4thofJuly #Fireworks #nostalgia #podcast #humor #travel #food

On this episode we talk about stuff that&#39;s amused us with the World Cup being in North America, watching foreigners eating American foods and realizing their lives are about to become 70% sadder once they&#39;re forced to go back to their sad, bland existence (Scotland, England, Norway...we&#39;re looking directly at YOU). Grab your favorite America-themed t-shirt, sit back and let us run the grill because today everything is FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

It&#39;s over folks, and we did not just survive Phoenix FanFusion 2026...WE THRIVED. We got to talk to some amazing guests, meet some great new fans and just have an all around hell of a good time. Taters CLAIMS she doesn&#39;t have FanFusion hangover but we think she&#39;s just playing tough as she doesn&#39;t like showing any weakness (she feels as though her enemies are listening? It&#39;s a whole thing.) Anyways, here&#39;s a quick rundown as how things went and then over the next few weeks we&#39;ll be posting new episodes regularly! Enjoy!

FanFusion Hangover

We won&#39;t lie, we were a little nervous about our robot overlords taking over (Matt has a great respect for them so long as he can still watch funny animal videos...tbh all three of us feel that way) until we saw that video of the robot just kinda dying on the vine while attempting to moonwalk. This episode we go over our very valid mistrust of AI, Matt talks about being the old guy in line at Culver&#39;s and decides to have a very emotional moment while describing his feelings AND we give some deets about our upcoming live shows at Phoenix FanFusion! All this and MORE so even though it looks like our society might be heading to a Thunderdome-style finish where we&#39;re all fighting for water and gas don&#39;t worry because we&#39;ve got you covered as we are...

Welcome welcome welcome to the GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!!! Yes, I might be overselling it but Sun Tzu did say &#34;&#34;Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win&#34;. Translation, believe in yourself and we TOTALLY believe in ourselves. This week we did what we do best and that&#39;s sometimes just let the conversation be organic. We talked about our first jobs, (the 90&#39;s and early 2000&#39;s were a weird time for jobs) Matt&#39;s love of McDonalds&#39; filet o&#39; fish sandwich, Taters being an honest to goodness CARNEY and Adam&#39;s Mom accidentally releasing his childhood pet hamster P.H. into the wilds of his old ass apartment in NJ (R.I.P., P.H. Gone too soon, never forgotten...). All this and MORE on this week&#39;s edition of...FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

Greetings, Combustors (for now, that&#39;s what we&#39;re calling our listeners. We&#39;re trying a thing, go with it)! Here we are, back with another week of nostalgic goodness. Adam, Matt and Taters LOVE their respective Moms, of course, but you know what they also love? RANKING THINGS! MAKING LISTS! This week we ran a draft for our favorite pop-culture Moms and then ran those lists through the interwebs using VERY sciencey/mathematical methodology to determine who&#39;s list has the strongest grouping of Moms. You know, that grouping of Moms who might dive headfirst into an alternate dimension to save their kid from a Lovecraftian monster, or maybe that Mom who&#39;s willing to fight off an unstoppable cyborg hell bent on killing their kid whilst still in utero. You know, just the things your average Moms will do for their kid. Be ready for anything as we celebrate all things MOM this week on...FUELED BY NOSTALGIA!!!

Nacho Average Moms!

The word "nostalgia" is defined as a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or a place with happy personal associations. Our podcast is three friends who move throughout the past and share their experiences, everything from a love of pop culture to food or just general life experiences. Also? It's pretty damn funny, too.
