Ep #128 – What Happened on May 5, 1985? | Gen X Trivia Night

Dancing With Ourselves is back.

After a long publishing pause, Jimmy, Jeremy, Josh, and Kane return with Episode #128 — a Gen X trivia night built around one question:

What was the world like on May 5, 1985?

The boys jump back into the 80s for a nostalgia-heavy episode covering music, movies, TV, world events, technology, prices, and life before the internet. No smartphones. No GPS. No instant answers. Just memory, guesses, bad answers, and plenty of Gen X chaos.

This episode also marks the restart of regular DWO publishing. New audio episodes will continue through BuzzSprout, and recorded video episodes will also begin appearing on the DWO YouTube channel.

Stick around through the end for a special Auditory Ecstasy outro track:

“Irreversible Ignition (No Reverse)” by Auditory Ecstasy

There is a strange bit of DWO × AE lore behind that song choice, too. The last published DWO episode was Ep #127 on May 5, 2025. Around that same time, an earlier Ep #128 had been prepared but never released, and that older version ended with AE’s “Initial Combustion.” Now, almost exactly a year later, DWO returns again at Ep #128 — this time with “Irreversible Ignition,” a reworked evolution of that original AE track idea.

Same number.
 Same season.
 Different evolution.

No reverse. All ignition.
