Where the spheres have no name | Body Beat beats Richard Simmons | Garbage Pail Kids were Communistic

Loading player...

'80s legends U2 had a bloody good Sunday when they opened the Las Vegas Sphere, but Dori is still mad at them for having the audacity to give her an album for free.

Richard Simmons was only big in the States because they didn't have Body Beat. Now we have a new mission: reunite Body Beat.

Finally, communistic chewing gum cards provoke Paulo into a Public Service Announcement.

Everything you hear on the show can be found on That 80s Show SA on Facebook.
