692: Remembering Carl Weathers - Our Interview with the Actor

admin@bleav.com (Steve Spears) — Fri, 2 Feb 2024 21:16:44 +0000

There aren't many actors that everyone will attest to just being an all-around great guy. Carl Weathers was one of those people. You may have first hated him as Apollo Creed in the Rocky movies, but I bet you jumped out of your seat when Rocky beat Apollo while racing down the beach in Rocky 3. And I guarantee you were the first to cry when his character is beaten to death by Ivan Drago in Rocky 4.

He shined in whatever role he was given. Chubbs in Happy Gilmore. Freddie in The Comebacks. And even Carl playing Carl in Arrested Development.

Today, when we heard Carl had passed away at age 76, we thought about those 10 minutes. What a gift it was. Thanks for the memories, Carl. We will definitely miss you.

Here's our 2009 conversation with the late, great Carl Weathers.

The Stuck in the '80s podcast is sponsored by The 80s Cruise. Join all your '80s friends on the Royal Caribbean Mariner of the Seas on Feb. 29 to March 7 for a weeklong trip back to the '80s. The lineup includes: 38 Special, Air Supply, The English Beat, Soft Cell, Debbie Gibson, Sebastian Bach, Steve Pearcy of Ratt, Ray Parker Jr., Sheena Easton, Wang Chung, Midnight Star, Animotion, Real Life, Escape Club, When in Rome UK, Marky Ramone's Blitzkrieg and more.

Brad and Spearsy debate the issue.

admin@bleav.com (Steve Spears) — Sat, 10 Nov 2018 14:00:48 +0000

Oh yes, 1988 seemed like the dark ages for some music fans in our beloved decade. The magic of the early '80s was gone, and FM waves had been invaded by hair metal and teen pop queens.

This week we again honor the year 1988.

464: Revisiting the Sounds that Started the '80s | '70s and '80s Music

admin@bleav.com (Steve Spears) — Sun, 24 Jun 2018 15:00:47 +0000

Ever wonder when the '80s sound really began? It wasn't on Jan. 1, 1980. In fact, the roots of '80s music go back 50 years - at least - when bands such as the Velvet Underground were roaming the recording studios of the world. It evolved further in the '70s thanks to Roxy Music, David Bowie, Blondie and The Knack. We revisit a podcast we recorded five years ago in this week's episode.

Stuck in the '80s is sponsored by The 80s Cruise and HIMS.com. Listen to the show for special offers from these amazing partners.
