Summary

This week, Nick Swardson takes a seat in The Wayback! (Check him out on his "Toilet Head" tour). In this episode, Nick takes us back to what it was like growing up in Minneapolis in the 80s. A self-proclaimed "hell cat" of a child, Nick gets nostalgic about a lot of the trouble he got into as a kid, like shooting fireworks out the wayback of his parents' station wagon, and being a classroom terror at St. Paul Central High School. Then Nick and Ryan get into their love of 80s sitcoms, specifically the timeless brilliance of Three's Company and John Ritter. Nick also reminisces about family reunions, his youth sports career, and classic Gen X childhood staples like sneaking out and snow days.
