Throwback Thursday: Slippery When Wet

🎸 Bon Jovi, Big Hair, and Our First Guest Ever!

Originally aired: December 1, 2016 on Return to the '80s

This Return to the ‘80s classic is one for the time capsule! Join Paul and Robert as they welcome their very first guest—Scott Compton, host of the now-retired but still legendary podcasts 80s Mixtape Autoreverse and 80s Reboot Overdrive.

We kick things off with some 2016-era Rock and Roll Hall of Fame talk (Scott was literally casting his ballot for Journey mid-show!), reflect on the recent passing of TV icon Florence Henderson, and then crank up the volume for a full track-by-track breakdown of Bon Jovi’s breakout album Slippery When Wet. We also share personal stories, memories tied to the music, and plenty of laughs along the way.

✨ Highlights include:

• A nostalgic tribute to Florence Henderson

• Hall of Fame debates: Journey, ELO, Yes, and yes... Pearl Jam 😏

• Track-by-track breakdown of Slippery When Wet

• Stories behind the songs—including one that came full circle in the wildest way
