  Speaker 1: It's Cubby and Christine, and there's a poll on Reddit,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: and it's asking people, what sounds have you not heard
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: in a while, but if you heard it, it would
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: bring you back instantly.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: You know exactly what it is.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: So I'm going to throw a few of the audio
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: components at you. Okay.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: And you tell me if they bring back any memories, Christine. Okay.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: And a few are fairly obvious.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: For example... Yeah, you know.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: The old internet dial-up. It could be AOL. It could
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: be CompuServe. It could be Prodigy. Remember Prodigy?
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: That was like 1990. A friend of mine had Prodigy.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: But yeah, this sound.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: I remember this very well.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Can't beat it. If I didn't get a connection by here,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: you got nervous.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Sometimes it didn't connect. You went through all that, and
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: it didn't connect.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: And then how about this for a recognizable sound? Your
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: best friend signs on AOL.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: AOL.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Or no, you sign on AOL and then they leave.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they left.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Then there's this. You've got mail. A lot of AOL recognizable. Welcome. That. Goodbye. That. Goodbye.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: So that's all the computer stuff.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Now, do you remember this sound? That's the beginning of
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: a what?
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: That's mighty intense, dude. What is that?
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: That'd be a movie theater. That was the THX intro,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: they called it.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: And you would hear that. I believe that played after
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: all the trailers.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Right, and you would know the sound was going to
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: be good.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Okay, got it.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: So that's an old 90s movie theater thing. Wow.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: This one might be difficult, but this was a sound
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: that was heard a lot in households.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: 80s, 90s. Here we go. I know it's a little difficult, but.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: 80s, 90s.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: This is a VCR rewinding a tape.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, that's a tough one.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because, I mean, VCRs varied, I guess. Right. So
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: they didn't all quite sound like that.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: I thought, like, you were whipping, like, cake mix, like
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: a handheld. That's what it sounded like.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: I was baking a cake?
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Okay, what about this?
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Hello, 1920s calling.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Dial-up phone.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: That would be a good old rotary phone. Another easy one,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: but I haven't heard this in forever.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: That sounds.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: This is the end.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: End of a record.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Of a vinyl record.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's so crunchy and pretty. Yeah.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: I love that. Oh, yeah.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: It lifted up. The needle lifted up right at the
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: end there.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: How about this one? What? Do you know what that was?
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: No.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I'll do it again for you. That is a manual
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: credit card machine. You put your card down.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: And the card would copy and they'd be like.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: How about that?
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: That's tough.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Okay. How about this one?
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Oh, like something coming out of the printer.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: That is a dot matrix printer where it would take
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: a good week for nine pages to come out.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Is that my map quest? You know, my directions.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Another thing from Reddit that people say they recognize immediately
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: when they hear it is this.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: When was the last time you heard a busy signal?
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: We don't hear that anymore.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: You don't? It'll ring and go to voicemail, right?
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Do you ever hear, maybe if you call Light FM,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: a lot of people are calling us, but I don't.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Hear a business signal very much anymore.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Really, no.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: And then finally, another very recognizable sound you probably haven't
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: heard in a while.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: That would be the Windows 95. Start up.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, kind of waiting for that to load.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that would take some time, too.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: So a lot of tech involved, but, you know, pretty cool.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: We had to, like, sit and wait a moment for
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: our tech to fire up.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: If you wanted to go on your computer, you're right, Christine.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: You would turn it on and wait, like, 10 minutes.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like, get that thing going. All right, I'll be back, right?
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: And we'll be back with more variety from the 80s
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: through today.
