Hey all you Deep Divers, we are trying a different format this week to see how it sounds. We’re thinking about calling these Playlist Shows, where we take a topic, pair it with some music that’s important to us, and then discuss why the two are connected in our memory.

But here’s the cool part. If you are a member of our Facebook Group “ Deep Dive Podcast “ you can contribute your song in the comment section, and we’ll add it to our Shared Spotify Playlist.

So this week’s Playlist theme is “Summer Songs “ now you’re going to hear a bunch of Gen X summer songs in today’s show, but YOUR contributed song doesn’t have to be from the 70’s, 80’s, or 90’s, we just want to hear what song reminds YOU of summer.

So without further adue, here is this week’s Playlist show “Summer Songs”………….

A fan requested we pick Gen X related topics out of a bowl and discuss off the top of our heads to see just how smart we are........ the answer turned out to be what you would expect....... not very.

There are seasons that are etched themselves into the identity of college football programs and serve as a vantage point where historians can say before this team and after this team, and every fan would agree. For the Iowa Hawkeyes, the 1985 Hawkeyes were just that season.

Ten wins, a Big Ten championship, five weeks ranked as number one in the nation, a Rose Bowl berth, and a win over the second ranked Michigan that still echoes through the Kinnick Stadium like it happened just yesterday.

But the story of the team goes deeper than rankings and records. It was a team built in the trenches, anchored by leaders who established the culture of what it meant to be a Hawkeye even today. On one side of the ball, an offensive lineman who helped pave the way for stars like Chuck Long and Ronnie Harmon, and himself earning a Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year award along the way.

On the other side of the line, a dominant nose guard, first team all Big Ten selection, and the cornerstone of a defense that made misery for opposing teams all over the Midwest.

Together, they led one of the greatest teams in Hawkeye history. A team shaped by the vision of Hayden Fry, a team that was physically dominant, unselfish, and accountable to each other, and possibly produced some of the funniest off-field stories of the entire program history.

So today we're stepping back in history to an unforgettable era, the wins, the cultures, and yes, maybe even a few stories that help earn Iowa a reputation as one of the most legendary college football programs in the country. Joining us today are co-captains of the iconic 1985 team, Mike Hate and Hap Peterson.

Back before Google could settle an argument in three seconds, and before your phone knew more than your high school history teacher, a couple of Canadians in 1979 looked at a scrabble board, ran out of tiles, and said, You know what???? This world needs more useless knowledge. And just like that, Trivia Pursuit was born. A game that turned random facts into social currency, ruined friendships over whether or not Pluto counted as a planet, and gave every uncle at Thanksgiving a stage for his oddly specific expertise. So tonight we honor the original pub quiz in a box, the game that proved knowing things is fun until it becomes competitive. Our focus tonight, Trivia Pursuit.

Imagine a company that generates $800 million a year in sales. It has around 700,000 salespersons and it moves about 2 million units. And that is in just three short months. And then the company, it shuts down for the next nine months. That's right. They don't sell a single unit for the rest of the year. And they still clear$800 million a year. And that's in less than one financial quarter. In today's podcast, we're going to talk about Girl Scout cookies.

Americans have a long tradition of turning just about any excuse into a celebration, and a lot of those celebrations happen to involve raising a glass.

From the green beer of St. Patrick’s Day to the champagne toasts of New Year's Eve, the beads and parties of Mardi Gras, the margaritas of Cinco de Mayo, backyard coolers on Independence Day, watch parties for Super Bowl Sunday, and the steins raised during Oktoberfest, Americans love getting together with friends and family and tipping one back. In this podcast, we’ll talk about some of these beloved drinking holidays and the traditions, stories, and celebrations that surround them.
