From there, the gang reflects on three years of marriage for Brad and Jordyn before diving headfirst into some fascinating corners of internet history.The episode explores the incredible preservation efforts behind the Internet Archive, including digitized Kmart in-store cassette tapes from the 1980s and 1990s and a massive collection of live concert recordings captured over four decades by music enthusiast Adam Jacobs. Along the way, the crew shares memories of Kmart, MySpace, early Amazon, and the evolution of technology, before wrapping things up with a wedding-themed edition of Name That Tune and the latest entertainment headlines in The Jordy Files.
