Episode 222: Remembering Ozzy Osbourne, A Hilarious 90s Subway Employee Training Video, Thanksgiving Day Parade Mishaps(12-3-2025)

Remembering Ozzy Osbourne on his birthday. A hilariously dated Subway employee training video. Some of the wildest mishaps during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Episode 222 kicks off December and the Holiday Season with a package of GenX nostalgia tucked neatly under the tree.

It all begins with a celebration of the Prince of Darkness himself, Ozzy Osbourne, on what would have been his 77th birthday. A creator of heavy metal, a celebrated icon of music, a reality TV star, and more. Ozzy transcended music and became a pop culture legend. We dive deep into his life and the accomplishments of the man himself.

Awkward interactions, questionable hygiene, and seriously weak attempts at humor. You'll find all of this and more in a hilariously dated employee training video from Subway in 1993. All you need to know is there is a pie chart of customer complaints, with one of them being not wearing gloves, and the very next scene is an employee making a sub without gloves. A classic video for sure.

Thanksgiving might be over but there is more turkey day fun to be had. In a new Top 5 we look at some of the biggest Macy's Day Parade mishaps. Hint: They all involve rogue balloons.

There is a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule, where we look at the crazy but true story of the woman who was struck by a meteorite.
