Prince--Bob Seger--(Same Guy?) & "Where's the Beef? Burger Wars"
from The 70s vs The 80s
This week’s episode is a wild ride through unexpected musical theories, fast food rivalries, and a heartfelt tribute to a classic TV star. Buckle up for a multi-course serving of nostalgia and surprises. Segment 1: “Raspberry Seger?”Prince’s Raspberry Beret turns 40 this summer, but here’s the question we can’t stop asking: Did Prince write that song in the style of… Bob Seger? Is this a legit theory or a full-on Mandela Effect hallucination? We investigate their shared Midwestern roots, the surprising musical similarities, and the strange-but-true story of why these two icons were supposed to meet—but never did. Also: Wolfman Mike shares a deeply personal (and very gross) tale of eating a mystery burrito in front of Prince—in the dark. Segment 2: “Burger Wars: Chapter 3 — Where’s the Beef?”We’ve covered McDonald’s. We’ve covered Burger King. Now it’s time to give the other burger chains their shot. In Chapter 3 of our Burger Wars series, we spotlight Wendy’s and the other 70s and 80s fast food joints that dared to challenge the Big Two. Can a square patty and a little old lady shouting “Where’s the beef?” change the game? Is this the round where we finally declare a winner? Segment 3: “Goodbye to a 70s/80s Star”A beloved actress from our childhoods has passed away. Known for her beauty—but was that all she brought to the screen? We take a look back at her roles, her impact, and why she meant more than just a pretty face on TV. It’s a tribute filled with heart and surprising insights.Please, fill out this short survey:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1eCzmh4jn6onsdfllOI_NencBhVWRRfvhWteLYfSbLxE/edit?usp=drivesdkSend us a voicemail:https://www.speakpipe.com/The70sVsThe80sSend us an email:[email protected]
