2026/10/02

Send us Fan Mail This week Free Nights and Weekends celebrates a TV show that just won’t go away. The Brady Bunch served as a chronicle of American family life in the 1970s and has been viewed by generations since. Eddie Wilson joins us to discuss the series, talk about our favorite and least favorite episodes and his brush with the real life Bradys. Well, the characters. This is confusing. But not as bad as when we just decide to call the actors by their Brady names and we run with it. ...

Free Nights And Weekends ·

2026/09/25

Send us Fan Mail Step right up! We're revisiting this one as we take a deep-fried dive into the Oklahoma State Fair — where childhood smelled like funnel cakes, diesel fumes, and bad decisions. Scott is joined by Garth and Ken from Fried Okla to swap stories about sketchy carnies, dunk tank jerks, and the glory of winning a live iguana you absolutely didn’t need. It’s a nostalgic, laugh-out-loud ride through 80s fairgrounds, where powdered sugar coated everything — and nobody wore sunscr...

2026/09/18

Send us Fan Mail When we were kids, there was a piece of undeveloped land tucked away in my neighborhood that might as well have been another county. There was a creek, a hill, woods, a field, a rope swing and a clubhouse. We rode our bikes through it, built forts, explored, swung across the creek and spent entire summers back there. My buddy Todd and I even figured out how to catch crawdads with nothing but a piece of raw bacon tied to a string. To us, it was as vast as the a big ranch. Deca...

Send us Fan Mail Parole denied! Oklahoma governor declines parole for the remaining member of three spree killers that shocked OKC in 1978. In 1978, something horrific happened inside an Oklahoma City Sirloin Stockade. Six employees went to work that night. They never came home. For those of us who grew up in Oklahoma in the late '70s and '80s, the story became part of our collective childhood memory. We knew the name Roger Dale Stafford. We knew what had happened at Sirloin Stockade. We saw ...

We Can Come Out From Hiding! Columbia House Is Tits Up!

2026/08/28

Send us Fan Mail Oh, and so is Dolly! RIP Columbia House is finally calling it quits, so we’re taking a look back at the legendary mail-order music club that promised a dozen albums for a penny and somehow became a part of growing up in America. Eddie and I both signed up. We both have stories. And apparently, we had very different interpretations of how this whole thing was supposed to work. We talk about where Columbia House came from, why the deal was so irresistible, and what it was like ...

2026/08/07

Send us Fan Mail Every August, Gen X kids hit the reset button. The new school year meant fresh notebooks, sharpened pencils, new sneakers if you were lucky, and the annual gamble of whether your backpack would survive until Christmas. It was the smell of a brand-new Trapper Keeper, hunting for your locker, trying to figure out where your classes were, and hoping your teacher wasn't "the mean one." This week, we relive everything that made heading back to school unforgettable, from school sup...

1984: The Year the '80s Peaked

2026/07/31

Send us Fan Mail Was there ever a year that captured everything we loved about the 1980s better than 1984? This week, Scott and Jason take a nostalgic trip back to a year packed with unforgettable music, blockbuster movies, Olympic drama, pop culture milestones, and the everyday moments that made growing up in the '80s unforgettable. From Van Halen's 1984, Prince, and Cyndi Lauper, to Ghostbusters, The Karate Kid, Gremlins, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and The Terminator, it seemed l...

Campfire Confessions: Church Camp in the '80s

2026/07/17

Send us Fan Mail Whether your church camp was all about service projects or strict rules, one thing is certain...you probably still remember it. This week, Scott is joined by Jason Dean to compare two very different church camp experiences from the 1980s. Scott spent summers volunteering at Camp Aldersgate in Little Rock, helping maintain a camp that served children with disabilities. Jason grew up attending a Church of Christ camp where the rules were...let's just say...a little differ...

A simple Facebook post about their legendary Monte Cristo sandwich unleashed a flood of memories, complaints, and unresolved emotional baggage from Gen Xers across America. This week, Scott and fellow Oklahoma fat guy Jason Dean take a trip through the restaurant graveyard, remembering the chains, buffets, and menu items that disappeared without warning. From Bennigan's and Steak and Ale to Pancho's, ShowBiz Pizza, Shoney's, and Furr's Cafeteria, they rev...

Local OKC weather guy Paul Bouchereau unloads some F bombs during a graphics guy foul up (then they run that tape). Oh, then there was the basketball coach at my middle school.

This week on the Free Nights and Weekends Podcast, Scott and Marc dive headfirst into the loud, sweaty, aggressively enthusiastic world of 1980s and early 1990s infomercials. The era where every problem in America apparently could be solved with a food dehydrator, a roll of tape, or a knife capable of cutting through a cinder block and...

Send us Fan Mail Before streaming, before DVR… there was the VCR. In this episode of Free Nights and Weekends, Scott and Jason dive into the golden age of VHS—when families dropped $800 on a machine nobody knew how to program, video store shelves were packed with questionable titles, and “Be Kind, Rewind” wasn’t optional. From mall purchases in OKC to the chaos of early video rental shops, this episode tells the story of the moments that made movie night feel like an event. If you grew ...

Send us Fan Mail Remember the movie that freaked out a generation? We thought we did too. This week, Scott and Marc revisit The Amityville Horror. While it’s not a technically “great” movie, it’s not technically scary or entertaining either. What a mess. Editor note: Too many zeros were remembered on the price of the house. It sold for $80k.
