Creed vs Nickleback

I enjoyed the Nickleback vs Creed episodes. You guys hit all the highs and lows of both bands. I owned both debut albums and thought both had potential but was disappointed with their subsequent offerings. I like Creed more but agree that Stapp got too full of himself.

Taking Us Back in Time

I’ve been bouncing around various episodes in your feed and it brings me back to a place and time that I cherish and miss deeply. I was along with the Rolling Stone bashing Creed. That was undeserved. Those lyrics are amazing and hit me hard today during a workout. We grew up together, gentlemen. I welcomed my kits with arms wide open. We can heal through bringing us back to those times. We were so much more unified in that culture. May we bring it back. Take us higher. Thank you for what you are doing.

This is the real deal

Anybody can claim to know a lot about 80’s and 90’s pop culture, but these guys really know what’s up. Whether tearing apart the inexcusable (Superman IV, Jaws 3D), praising the undeniable (Heartbreak City), or pitting the titans against one another (Raiders vs. Back to the Future) rest assured you’re getting the results of a meticulous deep dive on the subject matter. You will NOT be disappointed.

Great White

I love the Great White episode. Took me back to the 80’s, before marriage, kids, and wokeness. Thanks for picking great topics to discuss on your podcast.

This is a must listen every week

Pros : great research, great topics, great lists and great energy between the hosts. These guys really do the leg work behind the show and teach me so much that I did not know. They’re also funny and the production value is to notch Cons: I wish I had discovered them earlier as they could have been bringing joy to my ears a few years earlier.

A most excellent journey through my childhood, teenage, and college years.

Due to my job, I travel a lot, and as a result, I listen to a lot of podcasts. A few become favorites, but only one has become an absolute must-listen every week: Surely You Can’t Be Serious. It is an absolute blast every week to listen to Jason and Dee explore all the best in ‘70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s pop culture. Every episode is full of fun facts and obscure trivia that enrich the overall experience. The hosts themselves are obviously friends, and the show has such an easy, conversational tone that it’s easy to imagine yourself sitting at the local watering hole with them, debating the best Toto song. If podcasts were mountain ranges, SYCBS would be a Mt. Everest, with a few others reaching the heights of a Kilimanjaro and the rest left standing glumly on the Serengeti plains, hoping they themselves will one day reach those heights. Here’s to many more years of this fantastic podcast!

Great listen

This is some much needed high quality Gen X content from my peers. But how dare you make me tear up at that Anne Murray song? No seriously I really loved the 1978 songs episode. Keep up the good work.

Cars

Good job on the cars episode! The Maximum Overdrive truck and the Lone Wolf McQuade Supercharger were spot on!

Podcasts don’t get better than this!

A must listen every week. Jason and Dee are smart, funny, and always prepared. They tell stories that make you learn more than you ever thought possible about the best of the 80s and 90s.

My favorite podcast!

Hey guys, I always enjoy the content you put out and look forward every week to the next episode. Keep it up! My favorite episodes are when you compare movies with one another. Total Recall (1990) vs Starship Troopers (1997) would be a great one! They're both Verhoeven classics!

Long Cold Winter

Thanks for allowing me to sit in this episode. I enjoyed meeting Jason and talking great 80’s music with him and Dee. This album brought back a lot of memories from that time period! Good show guys! Keep up the good work!

Canadian Rock

When you broach the Canadian rock band genre listen to Triumph, April Wine, and Rush! They are three of my all time favorite bands.

Vivid was a very good album. It sounded different than other albums released around that time. I enjoyed this podcast very much.

Great Show

Good show fellows! I loved Big and thought Elizabeth Perkins was smoking hot! Twins had a few funny moments but was otherwise pretty corny. Look forward to your next show!

A Misspent Youth Influencing More Misspent Youth

I teach social studies at a military school in Virginia. I feel it is imperative that I keep up with current events so as to best explain topics that may come up in my classes. But I discovered the Surely guys just before Thanksgiving of 2022. Prior to this, I would listen to my local morning drive time show to stay up on local current events and listen to public radio to get more in-depth coverage on national and global issues. Boy was I a moron! Since Turkey Day, I have not turned on my radio to or from my 30 minute commute each way because of these guys. I have been loving every day’s drive to and from work, reliving the glory of yesteryear, and getting a new perspective on things I was too dense to understand as a teenager in the late 80s and early 90s. Who cares about global warming, geopolitical issues, and Pledge Week when you’ve got so many episodes of the Surely You Can’t Be Serious podcast!?!? I am learning so much about the movies and music that made me and using that knowledge to influence another generation of misspent youth. I am seriously thinking of developing a few lesson plans on entertainment trends of the 80s and 90s in my classroom and I can thank Jason and Dee for that. Do yourself a favor and drop in to the best 80s and 90s pop culture podcast on the inter-webs. You will thank me later. And more importantly you should thank the Surely guys. -Lord Morgan

Great podcast!

Great rapport between the hosts. Great knowledge base… you can tell they care about the content and accuracy, but, most of all, you can tell they are passionate about this side job and love what they do. And, I’m a Cold War kid so the things they discuss are right in my formative wheelhouse! Keep it up guys!

Born in the 80s but having grown up in the 90s with plenty of re-runs and love for the 80s. Keep it up!!! Wondering if we will ever see a matchup of Hunt for Red October vs. Crimson Tide with both of their star studded casts and great storylines Keep it up guys!! -Wren
