Bob Explains His 1985: A Rebel, A Princess, A Nerd, A BOBFM.

1985 was all about WHAM! and The Breakfast Club. For the longest time though,
Bob explains that he thought WHAM! was the name of a fitness center and that
"the breakfast club" was another name for a group of people whom are participants
of an actual club for breakfast. He still thinks that WHAM! would make a great name
for a fitness center and that there should be a hipster foodie brunch club that goes
by that name. Or maybe, "this is a yolk?"

Bob explains he particpates in many similar marathons called "couch marathons" where the record
to beat is 18 days and 20 hours of... sleep.

Bob Explains His 1990: NO MORE BROCCOLI!

If there's one thing to note about a president, it's the fact that even they sometimes doesn't
like things like vegetables. Bob explains that he connected on a level that was almost spiritual
when George H. Bush gave a speech in 1990 about how he was no longer going to partake in
eating broccoli because he was the dang president! Bob now no longer eats broccoli and
whenever someone asks he responds with, "because I'm the President of the United States,
and I don't have to eat broccoli anymore!"

Bob Explains His 1984: GREMLINS!

1984 hatched the cutest scariest little creatures known as Gremlins. Bob explains in doing
a search for "gremlins look like..." it auto-filled "furby," "Japanese Chin," & "Flava Flav."
Bob feels like they are all accurate representations of doppelgängers for a Gremlin, however,
he sees they look more like a wet cat. Now that, that's terrifyingly funny. Just like the film.

Bob Explains His 1998: Think Outside the BOB

Bob remembers 1998 commercials for Taco Bell so fondly. The talking chihuahua was
priceless marketing. Being from Austin, the taco craze is real life, so, Bob considers
himself a sort of taco connoisseur. Taco Bell is not necessarily his favorite, but he
appreciates thinking outside the bun on late nights nonetheless.
