In this episode of the Cor Memories Podcast, Corey, Joe, and Tank head back to one of the most unforgettable eras of life: the college years. But don’t expect discussions about majors, GPAs, or favorite classes—this isn’t a trip through the syllabus. This is about everything that happened outside the classroom. Together, the guys revisit that strange and exciting time right after high school when...

In this nostalgic episode of the Core Memories Podcast , Corey is joined by Joe and Tank for a deep dive into the golden age of HBO—back when it wasn’t just a channel, it was an event. The episode kicks off with a perfect setup: Joe as the guy who watched everything HBO aired (whether he was supposed to or not), and Tank as the walking TV Guide who always knew what was coming on next. From there,...

In this month's episode of the Cor Memories Podcast, Corey, Tank, and Joe take a joyful walk through mall life in the 1980s and early 1990s — when food courts, arcades, and being dropped off with no supervision felt like peak freedom.

This special edition of The Core Memories Podcast flips the usual format on its head, inviting listeners straight into the hearts, memories, and personalities of the hosts. Instead of a single focused topic, the episode is driven entirely by listener-submitted questions—and to everyone’s relief, the audience showed up in a big way. Corey welcomes back Joe and Tank for an extended, free-flowing Ask...

In this holiday-themed episode of the Core Memories Podcast , Corey is joined by Tank and Joe for a spirited — and occasionally chaotic — breakdown of Christmas movies, rankings, and the age-old question: what actually counts as a Christmas movie? Tank comes in armed with spreadsheets, firm childhood nostalgia, and very little flexibility, defending his rankings with the confidence of someone who...

🎃 The Cor Memories Podcast – “Tales of Halloween's Past” This month, we turn back the clock to a time when Halloween meant plastic masks, foggy breath under cheap costumes, and the sound of Thriller echoing from a neighbor’s boombox. It’s a nostalgic trip to the Halloweens of our childhood — when the night felt colder, the streets darker, and the candy haul endless. In this episode, we dig i...

We’re taking it back to the early ’90s and our very first jobs—the uniforms, the paychecks, the cringe-worthy moments, and the lessons we didn’t even know we were learning. From stocking shelves to flipping burgers to saving up for that first CD player, these stories aren’t just about work—they’re about growing up, finding independence, and creating the memories that shaped us. 🎙️ Laugh with us, g...

In this episode of The Cor Memories Podcast , we dive headfirst into a sun-soaked, popcorn-fueled fantasy draft of the greatest summer movies from the 1980s. With strict rules (only films released between June and August, one movie per year per drafter, and a snake-style draft), the competition gets intense — and the nostalgia runs deep. From action-packed blockbusters to feel-good classics, your...

On this month's episode, we’re jumping into the hot, hazy, Kool-Aid-stained days of summer in the 1980s . These were the summers of cassette tapes in boom boxes, Otter Pops melting faster than you could eat them, and popsicles turning your tongue radioactive blue. We built ramps from old plywood, drank from the hose, and somehow survived with no sunscreen and very little supervision. In this...

Before the prequels, before streaming, before the internet could dissect every frame — Star Wars was something you felt . And if you were a kid growing up in the 80s or 90s, chances are, it was more than just a movie. It was part of who you were. Maybe your first glimpse of that galaxy far, far away came from a crackly VHS tape, a fuzzy TV broadcast, or a worn-out copy taped off of HBO. Maybe it w...

We’re diving into one of the most unforgettable parts of growing up in the 80s and 90s: the fashion . The neon colors that could practically blind you. The jean jackets two sizes too big. The bucket hats, slap bracelets, Zubaz pants, and don't even get me started on hypercolor shirts that betrayed you the moment you started to sweat. Some of these outfits made us feel like absolute rockstars....

Close your eyes and picture this: It’s a Friday night in 1980-something. You just spent the whole week at school, counting down the days to this moment. You hop in the backseat of the family station wagon, maybe Mom and Dad let you bring a friend along. As you pull into the parking lot, you see it—the glowing marquee, those big, bold letters spelling out the latest blockbuster. It could be Back to...

The 1980s… A decade of neon colors, mixtapes, and Friday nights at the roller rink. It was a time before smartphones and social media, when a folded-up note passed in class could make your heart race, and the sight of your crush at the arcade felt like destiny. Young love in the '80s was something magical, wasn’t it? It was innocent, awkward, and beautifully simple. A glance across the cafete...
