Jen remembers her pink Huffy and the day four-year-old her taught herself to ride by grabbing parked cars and hoping for the best.Jerry also recalls his ultimate 1980s Christmas: a Betamax, Mattel handheld games, and the mighty Atari 800—thanks to McCormick Place vendors who didn’t want to ship their demo units home. Of course, not every Christmas was magical… Pancake relives the trauma of receiving a stocking full of Slim Jims instead of the robot he desperately wanted.A warm, chaotic trip through the best (and worst) gifts of childhood.Sponsored by:👕 SoCoolShirts.com – Wear Your Weird. 🧠 All In Jest Trivia – Last Friday monthly at the Marshall J.
