Episode 72
Bubble Hockey Vs Air Hockey (A Game of Inches--& Blowers) Plus, People Who Died
In this fast-paced episode of The 70s Vs The 80s, we drop the puck
(and the puck-shaped paddles) on two iconic arcade games: Bubble Hockey
and Air Hockey. We ask the experts: where do these legendary tables rank
in the all-time pantheon of games? You might think of them as glorified
rec room relics—but wait until you hear how high one of them scores on
the leaderboard of greatness. Spoiler: one has a cult following you
didn’t even know existed.
Then in our People Who Died segment, we remember a football player
who did almost everything right—until he made perhaps the most infamous
mistake in NFL history. A play that haunts highlight reels and defined a
career in one fateful moment.
Next up, we pay tribute to a rock star who blurred every line and
broke every rule—funky, fearless, and decades ahead of his time. And we
close with a salute to a songwriter so legendary that even your favorite
band probably covered him… whether they admit it or not.
Puck drops now. Let’s play.
