Some childhood memories age well. Others would get you arrested. In this nostalgic trip back to 1979, Shane Hewitt shares his first-ever memory — a cross-country road trip riding in the bed of a pickup truck… on his fourth birthday.

This Throwback Thursday turns into a hilarious and reflective look at the wild, weird, and definitely-not-okay-by-today’s-standards stuff our families used to do. From steering cars while standing on the seat to secondhand smoke being part of the furniture, the team shares memories and asks: what stories from your childhood would be totally illegal now? Also, a nod to 1979’s pop culture staples, including the debut of Trivial Pursuit.
