Gas Price Meltdown Theatre: The Great $2.09 Crisis of 2005

View descriptionShare

Back in 2005, Fargo residents were absolutely losing it over gas hitting an “all‑time high” of $2.09 a gallon — yes, really. [msn.com]

So The Wake Up Call decided to bring the drama back to life with Gas Price Meltdown Theatre, a full reenactment of how ridiculously serious we all were about that “crisis.” Tank, Mandy, and Scotch deliver Oscar‑worthy panic performances, and listeners text in their most over‑the‑top reactions from the era of cheap gas, flip phones, and $20 filling your tank.

It’s nostalgic, it’s chaotic, and it’s somehow painfully relatable.

Plus: Froggy listeners share their own meltdown lines, childhood memories, and the most 2005 things they remember complaining about.
