In My Footsteps Podcast Episode 182: The Greatness of Michael Jordan, An Annoying Blockbuster Video Mascot, Worst Love Songs Ever(2-12-2025)

 


I want to be like Mike. I don't want to be like Buster Sales. I also don't want to include any of these love songs on my playlists.

Episode 182 celebrates Valentine's Day in a roundabout way.

It begins with a birthday celebration of the greatest basketball player ever, and pop culture icon, Michael Jordan. A dominant champion who changed the game of basketball. A hugely influential athlete in terms of his endorsement prowess. MJ was one of the world's most well-known faces in the 1980s and 1990s. We'll do a deep dive into his impact.

We used to make it a Blockbuster night all throughout the 1990s. It was not due to this wacky employee training video. This week we go back in the day to look, laugh, and cringe, at a weird Blockbuster Video training tape from 1990. It is led by perhaps the most obnoxious character ever, Buster Sales.

The Top 5 will share some of the worst love songs ever. These are probably not the ones you want on your Spotify playlist if you want a romantic evening. Muskrats, Meatloaf, and Bubblegum galore.

There is also a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule centered around the infamous St. Valentine's Day Massacre.
