Chris and Buck are back for another raw, nostalgic chat on Matters Not. This episode dives deep into 80s and 90s childhood memories, from overhyped toys that always disappointed to the golden era of gaming that shaped their lives.

They reminisce about addictive classics like Minecraft, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, Super Mario World, Halo split-screen battles, and the hilariously crude Conker’s Bad Fur Day. The conversation explores how modern games have spoiled us with customization while older titles felt revolutionary with even the smallest features.

The guys also share plenty of fatherhood stories — including a terrifying four-wheeler rollover on the Hatfield-McCoy trails and Buck's “Father of the Year” moments involving machetes and Power Wheels. Buck opens up about completing his court-mandated 3-day Driver Intervention Program in Springfield, Ohio, complete with roach motel horror stories and surprising facts about OVI laws.

Throw in talk of AI, retro gaming obsessions, restoring old furniture, and upcoming silly cat videos, and you’ve got a classic laid-fire side conversation full of laughs, tangents, and real talk.

If you grew up in the 80s or 90s, love gaming nostalgia, or just enjoy two friends shooting the shit — this one’s for you.
