This week, Sam Tripoli takes a seat in The Wayback! (Check out his special "Quiet" and his podcasts Broken Simulation, Tin Foil Hat, and Deep Waters). In this episode, Sam takes us back to what it was like growing up in Upstate New York in the 1980s. No one knows more about conspiracy theories than Sam, and here he gets nostalgic about two of the very first ones we all experience: Santa Claus and Pro Wrestling. Ryan and Sam then do a deep dive on bowling, and while Sam regales us with stories of the great Tripoli family bowling dynasty of Cortland, New York, Ryan recalls the time his friends streaked naked through a bowling alley outside Baltimore.

This week, Andrea Jin takes a seat in The Wayback! (Check out her tour dates at AndreaJin.com). In this episode, Andrea takes The Wayback into uncharted territory, as she gets nostalgic about growing up in China until age 10, and then Vancouver through her teenage years. Born in Shanghai to a family so poor she had to share a bed with one her grandparents, Andrea reminisces about her version of the wayback, which was riding on the back of her grandfather's bicycle facing backwards. She also talks about her regimented schooling in China, from eye massage breaks, to saluting the Chinese flag. Andrea then gets into the challenges of getting accustomed to teenage life in Canada, peeing her pants in school, and hanging out with Asian gangsters!

This week, Bret Ernst takes a seat in The Wayback! (Check out his special "Uncaged" on YouTube, and catch him on Cobra Kai on Netflix). In this episode, Bret takes us back to what is like growing up in both Florida and New Jersey in the 80s and 90s. Raised by a single mom who was always on the move, Bret reminisces about attending 15 schools as a kid (!), breaking leases as family, hanging out in roller rinks, and the terror of gym "lock-ins." Bret also gets nostalgic about some of the crazy jobs he had back in the day, like making fake IDs, selling speakers out of a van, and breaking into payphones for change. But the true highlight is when Ryan and Bret do a deep dive on the 90s as "the golden era of cologne." Do you have a "cologne guy?"
