Episode description

In Episode Three the Brothers High take a look back at the 1984 Summer Olympics.  The USA and the city of Los Angeles took center stage in what many experts still consider as the most successful Olympics of the modern era.  Our nation was brimming with patriotism and the memories are still vivid to this day.  Remember some of the biggest names of the Olympics:  Mary Lou Retten, Carl Lewis, Michael Jordan, and Peter Ueberroth to name a few.  Did you redeem a winning ticket for free food at McDonald's?  It's right here on Gen X Playback!

**Please note**  While discussing the 1976 Summer Olympic Games the Brothers High used the name Bruce Jenner when referencing the Gold Medal winning Decathlete.  Jenner has since changed her name to Caitlyn.  The Brothers High used the name Bruce only as a means for historical context.
