Show Notes Episodes 482: Save the Last Dance For Me


This week host Dave Bledsoe was criminal trespassed from Arbor Terrace Teaneck for slow grinding with Mrs. Maria Santamarino during the retirement village’s Valentine’s Dance. (Maria was into it!) On the show this week we remember the “fun” of high school dances in the 80’s, so grab your ruffles, soak yourself in Aquanet and let’s get ready to slow dance to Bon Jovi!


Along the way we discover that Dave was asked out on a date by a girl, once.(We don’t believe it either) Then we dive right into a quick history of “Prom” before we hit the dance floor. We cover all the big dances, Homecoming (Football prom), the Snow Ball (a euphemism Dave keeps trying to make a thing), Sade Hawkins (nerd prom) and finally Senior Prom. (Wedding practice) Relive the memories with a tick-tock countdown the Best Night Of Your Life ™. (Or, if you are like Dave, and never went to prom tell you what all the cool kids did that night.)


Our Sponsor this week is The King of the Prom, who wonders if he can interest you in some life insurance. We open with a disastrous prom date and close with Selina Joycee who would like to make a reservation on your dance card.
