What The Hell Were You Thinking

Show Notes Episode 490: Miami Vice Vice Baby This week Host Dave Bledsoe finds himself in hot water with his boss over his constant screw ups and is told to turn in his microphone and podcaster badge   (Which is just some toy Jeremy got out of vending machine and told Dave it was “official”) On the show this week we head back to the 80’s to talk about a television show that took America from 70’s beige to 80’s neon pastels, Miami Vice! Along the way we discovered that Dave really wanted to Fish from Barney Miller growing up.  Then we dive right into a brief history of the Vice Squad in America.  (Turns out it was mostly about policing people white people didn’t like! Who Knew?) Then we meet the people who made Miami Vice, from the NBC executive who had a vision. (Literally: MTV Cops) to the actors, costume designers, music supervisors to the guy who faked the Ferrari! We see how the show changed American fashion and made the Miami Drug Wars a tourist attraction.  (Fucking Americans, man!) Our Sponsor this
