- 0:33Speaker 1: I am Lindsey, and with me today is the man
- 0:36Speaker 1: who lives the dream with me every day in the
- 0:41Speaker 1: podcast world and in the real world. It's John Butler.
- 0:46Speaker 2: I had a dream. I had an awesome dream. People
- 0:52Speaker 2: in the park playing games in the dark.
- 0:56Speaker 1: I think you're combining the wrong things. Don't you think
- 1:00Speaker 1: we're living the dream?
- 1:02Speaker 2: What dream?
- 1:04Speaker 1: The dream? In a Freddy Krueger movie, The dream?
- 1:08Speaker 2: Yeah, I know we're life is good. We're living it. Well,
- 1:11Speaker 2: we are, we're living the dream. Yeah, absolutely, I'm digging it.
- 1:16Speaker 1: Uh.
- 1:16Speaker 2: No, guy with a razor blades on his fingers is chasing.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Me at night seeing no melted face.
- 1:22Speaker 2: No melted face. I do struggle to sleep at night,
- 1:27Speaker 2: so I'm not. I may be living the dream, but
- 1:29Speaker 2: I'm not sleeping and dreaming.
- 1:31Speaker 1: Am I keeping you awake? Am I do I snore?
- 1:34Speaker 2: No? No, I've never been a good sleeper anyway. An
- 1:38Speaker 2: old age has just gotten to me now.
- 1:41Speaker 1: And oh no, you're like the old people where you
- 1:44Speaker 1: got to just go ahead and get up at five o'clock.
- 1:46Speaker 2: Yeah, And I don't like that because I don't believe
- 1:49Speaker 2: in five o'clock in the morning.
- 1:50Speaker 1: Well, you're you're a contradiction, because I think of the
- 1:54Speaker 1: old timers who do that, that they wake up like
- 1:57Speaker 1: bright eyed and bushy tailed, and you never get up that.
- 2:00Speaker 2: No, I get up cranky and angry because I'd rather
- 2:03Speaker 2: be asleep and I didn't get good quality sleep the
- 2:07Speaker 2: previous night or the night before that night, or whatever
- 2:10Speaker 2: you want to call it. To me. Five am still.
- 2:12Speaker 1: Nighttime, it's still middle And then I was talking to
- 2:16Speaker 1: a friend today about that, and she said occasionally she'll
- 2:19Speaker 1: wake up around five and her husband will be in
- 2:22Speaker 1: the shower and she'll go running in the bathroom and
- 2:25Speaker 1: be like, oh, no, are you sick? What's wrong? And
- 2:28Speaker 1: he'd be like, I'm getting ready for work. It's morning.
- 2:34Speaker 2: No, I don't. I don't like getting up at five.
- 2:36Speaker 2: I refuse to give get up at five. Usually what
- 2:39Speaker 2: happens is I'll wake up around three point thirty, yes,
- 2:44Speaker 2: and I will struggle to get back to sleep, sometimes
- 2:46Speaker 2: until four, sometimes until four thirty, sometimes until five. And
- 2:51Speaker 2: then the alarm goes off at six thirty. Yes, I
- 2:53Speaker 2: am a late riser for somebody that's supposed to be
- 2:55Speaker 2: at work at eight.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Uh.
- 2:57Speaker 2: And the alarm goes off at six thirty. And if
- 3:00Speaker 2: I've been up from like three thirty to five, that's
- 3:02Speaker 2: six thirty. That's rough. That feels like it's way too early. Yeah,
- 3:07Speaker 2: it feels like three thirty yeah. Uh. And so therefore
- 3:11Speaker 2: I don't I don't like that. We just need to
- 3:14Speaker 2: go to bed at nine o'clock. What am I seven
- 3:17Speaker 2: years old?
- 3:17Speaker 1: Again?
- 3:18Speaker 2: Like I go to bed at nine o'clock when the
- 3:22Speaker 2: Hill Street Blues was coming on.
- 3:26Speaker 1: I'm just gonna start playing that theme music and just
- 3:28Speaker 1: see you, like, get.
- 3:29Speaker 2: Your stuff together, go up the stay Yeah, put my
- 3:33Speaker 2: footed pajamas on.
- 3:34Speaker 1: Yes, So I got something I want to talk to
- 3:37Speaker 1: you about.
- 3:37Speaker 2: What do you got?
- 3:39Speaker 1: So there's a saying out there, and it's something along
- 3:41Speaker 1: the lines of everything is old that's new again, everything
- 3:46Speaker 1: that's new is old again.
- 3:48Speaker 2: What's the say everything that's old is new again?
- 3:51Speaker 1: Is that the same?
- 3:52Speaker 2: I have no idea. I'm just making stuff up. Nothing
- 3:54Speaker 2: new under this there's nothing new under the sun.
- 3:56Speaker 1: That is a saying, Okay, have you heard about this
- 3:59Speaker 1: new phone that's come out that's harken back to the
- 4:04Speaker 1: days of your when we had a house phone, and
- 4:08Speaker 1: it's called the ten Can. No, you've been heard about
- 4:11Speaker 1: the ten Can.
- 4:11Speaker 2: I have not.
- 4:12Speaker 1: Okay, this is so funny because all that the man
- 4:18Speaker 1: tells us to do is progress and better, and we
- 4:22Speaker 1: got to move on to the next great thing. And
- 4:25Speaker 1: I feel like in the year twenty twenty five, all
- 4:28Speaker 1: people are doing is going back to what we did
- 4:30Speaker 1: in the eighties and nineties nostalgia. So they've come out
- 4:34Speaker 1: with I don't even want to say they've come out
- 4:36Speaker 1: with it. This is Alexander Graham Bell invented this, so
- 4:42Speaker 1: I don't know how these people are taking credit for it.
- 4:45Speaker 1: But anyways, that it's called the tin Can and it
- 4:49Speaker 1: works through Wi Fi, I guess that's the difference. Alexander
- 4:53Speaker 1: Graham Bell didn't have Wi Fi.
- 4:54Speaker 2: He did not, but you.
- 4:57Speaker 1: Can talk to another ten Can user for free, So
- 5:03Speaker 1: say we had it, and if Grammy and Paul Paul
- 5:06Speaker 1: had it, we could talk to Grammy and Paul Paul
- 5:09Speaker 1: for free, like on an old school home phone. But
- 5:14Speaker 1: they also make something called the flashback phone, which is
- 5:18Speaker 1: that phone that used to hang in everybody's kitchen.
- 5:22Speaker 2: What do you mean the phone that used to hang
- 5:24Speaker 2: in everybody's kid like the nine buttons.
- 5:28Speaker 1: Let me slipping around here. Old nanny had one and
- 5:31Speaker 1: it was red. Everybody had one in their kitchen. You
- 5:35Speaker 1: see the pink.
- 5:36Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, they had it hanging up on
- 5:38Speaker 2: the wall.
- 5:38Speaker 1: Ye, hanging up on the wall, and the cord was
- 5:41Speaker 1: usually really long.
- 5:42Speaker 2: So yeah, you would get the twenty five foot cord
- 5:45Speaker 2: so you could take it into the bedroom.
- 5:46Speaker 1: So this company has a pink, a black, and a white.
- 5:49Speaker 1: Now it does not work via Wi Fi, uses a
- 5:54Speaker 1: wired Ethernet connection.
- 5:57Speaker 2: But who uses the Ethernet connection anymore?
- 6:00Speaker 1: People would want this phone called the flashback phone. Jim.
- 6:04Speaker 1: I'm telling you, as a society, we've collectively reached a
- 6:08Speaker 1: point where we're just like, we're noping it on back.
- 6:12Speaker 2: We're what.
- 6:14Speaker 1: We're noping it on.
- 6:16Speaker 2: We're noping it on back.
- 6:18Speaker 1: So we're like, nope, nope, nope, nope, and we're going back.
- 6:21Speaker 2: You know why we're going back to the eighties and
- 6:22Speaker 2: nineties because those decades were awesome.
- 6:25Speaker 1: So somebody at work was trying to convince me to
- 6:28Speaker 1: get a ten can, so we can talk on the phone.
- 6:31Speaker 1: But here's the thing. I don't really get that. Because
- 6:33Speaker 1: I am an adult and I do have a cell phone.
- 6:36Speaker 2: I don't need to talk in a ten can. I
- 6:38Speaker 2: did that as a kid.
- 6:40Speaker 1: I guess the point would be like if you do
- 6:43Speaker 1: have like a younger child, because they can only talk
- 6:47Speaker 1: to phone numbers or they can dial phone numbers that
- 6:50Speaker 1: are programmed into the phone, so they wouldn't be able
- 6:54Speaker 1: to accidentally talk to a creep or eat on my internet.
- 6:59Speaker 1: So I guess I see the safety in it. But again,
- 7:04Speaker 1: we've we've got that already. Well.
- 7:06Speaker 2: I kind of like how you said you can talk
- 7:08Speaker 2: to Grammy and Paul Paul for free. Do you have
- 7:11Speaker 2: a paid per minute plan or something like? Didn't that
- 7:14Speaker 2: go out in like twenty twelve?
- 7:16Speaker 1: I have to wait till after nine to call you Grammy.
- 7:19Speaker 2: And Paul mill This isn't like the MCI days of
- 7:23Speaker 2: nineteen eighty nine.
- 7:25Speaker 1: So okay, speaking of I have a question about that,
- 7:28Speaker 1: when did that stop? Because I feel like I feel
- 7:34Speaker 1: like that was just yesterday. But I'm pretty sure you
- 7:36Speaker 1: were going to You're gonna tell me that was twenty
- 7:38Speaker 1: years ago.
- 7:39Speaker 2: It was. It was roughly twenty years ago, and I
- 7:40Speaker 2: had to.
- 7:41Speaker 1: Wait till nine o'clock or later to call my cousin
- 7:43Speaker 1: in Florida.
- 7:44Speaker 2: Now, twenty years ago, I was still having to pay
- 7:47Speaker 2: by the text.
- 7:49Speaker 1: Oh I know, well, yeah, me too.
- 7:51Speaker 2: But uh so, to me, twenty years ago is like
- 7:54Speaker 2: the nineteen eighties.
- 7:56Speaker 1: Oh no, I don't know what you're going to say,
- 7:58Speaker 1: but stop.
- 7:59Speaker 2: So. So the fact that we had cell phones and
- 8:02Speaker 2: that we could text on it and then it costs
- 8:04Speaker 2: money was twenty years ago. That's somewhat disturbing.
- 8:08Speaker 1: Okay. So there's also something that's popular right now. It's
- 8:15Speaker 1: called grandma core.
- 8:18Speaker 2: Grandma Core.
- 8:19Speaker 1: So that's basically, do you remember the little white ducks
- 8:23Speaker 1: that everybody had as decoration in their kitchen back in
- 8:27Speaker 1: the eighties, then little blue ties around their neck, little
- 8:30Speaker 1: bow ties around their necks.
- 8:31Speaker 2: I only remember the good times of the eighties.
- 8:34Speaker 1: Okay, So all of that, everything that mom or dad
- 8:39Speaker 1: or grandma had in as decorations back in the eighties,
- 8:46Speaker 1: that was kind of kitchy cute. That's all coming back,
- 8:48Speaker 1: all coming back, it's all coming back, and it's called
- 8:51Speaker 1: grandma core.
- 8:52Speaker 2: You know, at some point in the eighties, my dad
- 8:55Speaker 2: told me that Bell Bottoms for the seventies would come back,
- 8:58Speaker 2: and I was like, there's no way they did, And
- 9:00Speaker 2: they did. And so I guess we're making our way
- 9:03Speaker 2: back around here to the core. As you say, does
- 9:07Speaker 2: that mean we're gonna we got to get rid of
- 9:09Speaker 2: our granted or marble countertops or whatever everybody has now
- 9:13Speaker 2: and go back to Formica.
- 9:14Speaker 1: So I guess that's where I'm headed with this. Where
- 9:16Speaker 1: does this stop?
- 9:18Speaker 2: At?
- 9:18Speaker 1: What point do we go? Okay, I get it, but
- 9:21Speaker 1: this is twenty twenty five.
- 9:23Speaker 2: It stops after I open my retro arcade and make
- 9:29Speaker 2: a billion dollars then it can stop.
- 9:32Speaker 1: So I'm telling you where I'm stopping it at. When
- 9:34Speaker 1: Emmy comes to me and wants me to tease her
- 9:37Speaker 1: hair up and her bangs up and she's got her
- 9:40Speaker 1: curling iron and her awkwindt.
- 9:42Speaker 2: No, you're not stopping it there now, we're doing that. No,
- 9:45Speaker 2: we're gonna we need to put another hole in the
- 9:48Speaker 2: ozone layer.
- 9:49Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I damaged the ozone layer.
- 9:52Speaker 2: Right, but it's fixed now?
- 9:54Speaker 1: Oh it is?
- 9:54Speaker 2: Yeah, they fixed it? Now?
- 9:56Speaker 1: Who fixed it?
- 9:57Speaker 2: I know construction workers. I don't know Bill Gates, astronauts.
- 10:02Speaker 2: They fixed it, so we can start using the onquinet
- 10:06Speaker 2: again and start putting a hole in it, and then
- 10:07Speaker 2: we can fix it again. It's like a liver, it's
- 10:11Speaker 2: just keeps regenerating.
- 10:13Speaker 1: I think yours is so damaged it won't regenerate.
- 10:16Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, I'm dead.
- 10:18Speaker 1: Stop stop. But yeah, so I long for the simpler days.
- 10:23Speaker 1: I do too, but I don't know that it's possible
- 10:28Speaker 1: unless Bill and Ted show up, or maybe the Dolorean
- 10:32Speaker 1: comes wheeling down our cul de sac. That for us
- 10:35Speaker 1: to really go back to the days of.
- 10:39Speaker 2: Your So give me no smartphones. I still want the computers, though.
- 10:46Speaker 2: I just want to get off my butt and go
- 10:48Speaker 2: into the room with the computer like we used to
- 10:50Speaker 2: do in the nineties. Oh, I know, right, or the eighties.
- 10:54Speaker 2: I still want my podcast and I still want my streaming.
- 10:58Speaker 2: But other than that, other than that, let's just go back.
- 11:03Speaker 2: Let's go back to seventy eight cents a gallon gas
- 11:06Speaker 2: prices like they were when I started driving. Right, Let's
- 11:10Speaker 2: go back to uh what buck? Fifty packs of packs
- 11:14Speaker 2: of Lucky Strikes do we smoke?
- 11:16Speaker 1: Does that matter? No, it doesn't, but I gave it.
- 11:19Speaker 2: Just make me feel good, Okay, I might take up
- 11:22Speaker 2: smoking then fifty it was affordable. Yeah. Emmy said something
- 11:27Speaker 2: about we were what were we talking about the other
- 11:28Speaker 2: day when we said something about a dollar and she
- 11:30Speaker 2: was like, was a dollar a lot of money back
- 11:32Speaker 2: in the eighties? And I was like, you could get
- 11:33Speaker 2: yourself a candy bar and like a big gulp from
- 11:37Speaker 2: seven to eleven and still have money left over. And
- 11:39Speaker 2: she was like what, She's like, that would cost like
- 11:41Speaker 2: five bucks now, and I'm like, yeah, exactly.
- 11:43Speaker 1: I took Emmy and her bff and then of course
- 11:47Speaker 1: me and we went to Quick Trip to get snacks
- 11:52Speaker 1: for a little adventure we were going on, and I
- 11:54Speaker 1: spent like thirty bucks.
- 11:55Speaker 2: Yeah, it's ridiculous.
- 11:56Speaker 1: It was crazy.
- 11:57Speaker 2: You didn't even get gassed, did you.
- 11:59Speaker 1: No, No, I didn't get gassed.
- 12:00Speaker 2: That was no, because that would have been one hundred
- 12:02Speaker 2: bucks if you had gotten gased.
- 12:04Speaker 1: So I long for the days of when families gathered
- 12:08Speaker 1: around like the kitchen table to just talk. Now. I know,
- 12:12Speaker 1: you come from a really big family in a really
- 12:15Speaker 1: small house.
- 12:15Speaker 2: And we didn't have a kitchen tablet. We gathered around
- 12:18Speaker 2: the TV trays and watched TV.
- 12:20Speaker 1: I was gonna say, you guys, may not have done that,
- 12:23Speaker 1: but growing up, any good family time came sitting around
- 12:30Speaker 1: the kitchen table really yeah, drinking coffee or sweet tea
- 12:35Speaker 1: or whatever. And I long for that because I feel
- 12:38Speaker 1: like people don't really sit around and talk anymore.
- 12:41Speaker 2: I long for the days of when a good Friday
- 12:45Speaker 2: night was your parents playing cards with you know, another couple, right,
- 12:53Speaker 2: and then you're written a movie or whatever, you know
- 12:55Speaker 2: where you're running around in the basement with with the
- 12:58Speaker 2: parents' friends' children.
- 13:00Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and they order a pizza for you or something.
- 13:02Speaker 2: Yeah, eat the crust.
- 13:04Speaker 1: I remember those days.
- 13:06Speaker 2: Yes, eat the crust.
- 13:07Speaker 1: We only had Dominoes, so it was always Domino's.
- 13:09Speaker 2: Pizza Little Caesars because you got two for one. Yep,
- 13:12Speaker 2: pizza pizzazza, pizza in the paper, in the paper wrapper.
- 13:17Speaker 1: The pizza was in the paper wrapper.
- 13:19Speaker 2: Yeah, so it had like a cardboard bottom, but then
- 13:21Speaker 2: the top and the sides were just paper.
- 13:23Speaker 1: Oh I don't remember that.
- 13:24Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how Little Caesar's made their pizza so cheap
- 13:26Speaker 2: because they didn't have to have boxes.
- 13:28Speaker 1: Oh I didn't know that. Yes, pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza,
- 13:31Speaker 1: cheese or cheeser weezer Weezer don't.
- 13:36Speaker 2: So you know what else was popular in the eighties?
- 13:38Speaker 2: What trivial pursuit? Oh?
- 13:41Speaker 1: I know, my parents played that all the time. I
- 13:45Speaker 1: can't imagine. That does not sound like a good time.
- 13:48Speaker 2: But okay, well that leads us to today's subject.
- 13:53Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, we're not going to play a game
- 13:55Speaker 1: of trivial pursuit.
- 13:56Speaker 2: We are not going to play a game of trivial pursuit,
- 13:58Speaker 2: but we're going to do something similar. So are you
- 14:01Speaker 2: ready to get to it?
- 14:03Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm ready, all right. This is a podcast that
- 14:12Speaker 1: looks back on the decade of the nineteen eighties. We
- 14:15Speaker 1: talk about things that were important to us as children
- 14:18Speaker 1: and what we look back on with fond memories as adults. Ultimately,
- 14:24Speaker 1: this is a nostalgia podcast.
- 14:27Speaker 2: So what we're doing today, it's kind of a I
- 14:29Speaker 2: guess it's kind of a pop purri or a pote
- 14:31Speaker 2: puri as you would say, it's a pot purri, a
- 14:34Speaker 2: pot purry. But this is almost kind of like what
- 14:38Speaker 2: I would call a live show. And I'm kind of
- 14:41Speaker 2: stealing that from Robin Dave, but we kind of all
- 14:43Speaker 2: take each other's ideas anyway, And they did a live
- 14:47Speaker 2: show where they didn't know one of them didn't know
- 14:49Speaker 2: what songs were being picked, and they were just going
- 14:51Speaker 2: to go through and talk about songs. We're doing something
- 14:53Speaker 2: similar here. I have something. I got this game back
- 14:57Speaker 2: in the two thousands, when it really was twenty years ago,
- 15:00Speaker 2: and the nineteen eighties were twenty years prior like I
- 15:03Speaker 2: think they are now. And this is called the Eighties Game, okay,
- 15:08Speaker 2: and you could go to back then. You could go
- 15:11Speaker 2: to www dot the eight zero sgame dot com to
- 15:19Speaker 2: look this game up. Apparently they also have a seventies
- 15:21Speaker 2: game in a nineties game wow, and then they also
- 15:23Speaker 2: have an eighties and nineties game, which might go well
- 15:25Speaker 2: with David Robs podcast.
- 15:28Speaker 1: I bet it would.
- 15:29Speaker 2: So what this is is, it's kind of like a
- 15:31Speaker 2: trivial pursuit, but it's just basically about the eighties instead
- 15:35Speaker 2: of you know, all time. And it's not gonna be
- 15:39Speaker 2: super rando difficult, hard questions. There's gonna be questions on
- 15:43Speaker 2: like television or movies or music or sports or maybe
- 15:48Speaker 2: like an event or something like that. So I just thought, hey, listen,
- 15:52Speaker 2: let's just go through some of these cards. You and
- 15:54Speaker 2: I will just bounce back and forth we'll ask each
- 15:56Speaker 2: other a trivia question or two from each card, uh,
- 16:00Speaker 2: and we'll see if we can answer it. But even
- 16:02Speaker 2: if we can't, we'll get the answer and then maybe
- 16:05Speaker 2: we talk about that subject. We can just kind of
- 16:06Speaker 2: riff on that subject. Its almost like we're freestyle rappers here.
- 16:10Speaker 2: So uh, so what do you think about my idea here?
- 16:13Speaker 1: So I know that I don't stand a chance because
- 16:17Speaker 1: you're the eighties trivia you champion.
- 16:20Speaker 2: You are one setting me up to fail now and
- 16:23Speaker 2: to look stupid and fall flat on my face. I
- 16:25Speaker 2: am not. I am not an eighties trivia champion by
- 16:29Speaker 2: any means, but I do think it'll be fun to
- 16:31Speaker 2: see if we can figure out some of these questions.
- 16:33Speaker 2: Let's do it, and uh, you know what, our audience
- 16:35Speaker 2: can play along and you know, hit us up on
- 16:37Speaker 2: text or Twitter or DM or whatever you want to
- 16:39Speaker 2: do text.
- 16:40Speaker 1: Are you giving out your cell phone? Or do you
- 16:42Speaker 1: have a ten can?
- 16:43Speaker 2: I have a ten can?
- 16:43Speaker 1: Okay?
- 16:44Speaker 2: Uh, and let us know how you did.
- 16:46Speaker 1: Okay, perfect?
- 16:47Speaker 2: We ready to move over to this and start off.
- 17:01Speaker 2: So here's the question. Do you want to ask first
- 17:04Speaker 2: or do you want to go first?
- 17:08Speaker 1: I will ask first already Okay, do I just pick
- 17:12Speaker 1: one because there are five questions on my card? Yeah,
- 17:16Speaker 1: I just pick one? Or what sure?
- 17:20Speaker 2: Why don't you just ask me all the questions then

- 17:26Speaker 1: Is it dark in here?
- 17:29Speaker 2: I mean it's it's a dark time of our lives
- 17:32Speaker 2: because we're so old and we're not in the nineteen
- 17:33Speaker 2: eighties anymore.
- 17:34Speaker 1: This writing is incredibly small.

- 18:20Speaker 2: of Calvin.

- 18:50Speaker 2: Bill something. I was gonna say Bill Lawrence. But we
- 18:52Speaker 2: know that's scrubbs.
- 18:54Speaker 1: Uh. I love Calvin and Hobbes.
- 18:55Speaker 2: All right, go into the next one.
- 18:57Speaker 1: This Ivy League university football team breaks a forty four
- 19:02Speaker 1: game losing streak with a win over Princeton University Yale Columbia. Okay,
- 19:13Speaker 1: and the year was nineteen eighty eight. Did you lose
- 19:15Speaker 1: that one on purpose? No?
- 19:17Speaker 2: Do you know who was the head coach at Columbia
- 19:19Speaker 2: for a while?
- 19:20Speaker 1: No?
- 19:21Speaker 2: Pete Mangurion?
- 19:22Speaker 1: What?
- 19:23Speaker 2: Yes, he was the head coach at Columbia when I
- 19:25Speaker 2: was coaching a Sun.

- 19:52Speaker 2: it be now? And Overkill when all that different stuff?
- 19:56Speaker 2: Nineteen eighty two, nineteen eighty three.
- 19:58Speaker 1: You are correct, teen eighty two. The album is a
- 20:02Speaker 1: business as usual. I know this. Next one's a shoe
- 20:07Speaker 1: in for you. Name the lead villain in the newly
- 20:11Speaker 1: released movie die Hard? Now, why does it say newly released?
- 20:16Speaker 1: Is are we supposed to bear pretending like it's the eighties?
- 20:18Speaker 2: I guess that would be mister Hans Gruber.
- 20:22Speaker 1: What year was it?
- 20:23Speaker 2: Nineteen and eighty eight?
- 20:26Speaker 1: Yes, it was, says nineteen eighty seven, right here in
- 20:29Speaker 1: front of it.
- 20:29Speaker 2: It is completely wrong. Diehard was released in nineteen eighty eight.
- 20:33Speaker 1: Should we just throw this out then and just call
- 20:35Speaker 1: it a day?
- 20:36Speaker 2: Yeah, that thing's a liar.
- 20:37Speaker 1: Well, how do we know? Then we can trust the
- 20:38Speaker 1: other ones.
- 20:39Speaker 2: It's like the Moops instead of the Moors with the
- 20:41Speaker 2: bubble boy on Seinfeld.
- 20:44Speaker 1: Okay. ABC debuts this sitcom, which stars John Goodman and
- 20:50Speaker 1: George Clooney and is set mainly in a family's kitchen.
- 20:54Speaker 2: Well that's Roseanne, but I wouldn't say it stars George Clooney,
- 20:58Speaker 2: wasn't he just like uh the side character?
- 21:02Speaker 1: Yes, Roseanne?
- 21:03Speaker 2: What year Roseanne debuted in nineteen eighty eight? Yes, correct,
- 21:09Speaker 2: good job? All right? Any of those you want to
- 21:12Speaker 2: talk about, like deeper into.
- 21:14Speaker 1: Well, I think it's ironic that we were just talking about.
- 21:18Speaker 1: I have so many good memories of just sitting around
- 21:21Speaker 1: the kitchen table talking, and then it talks about that
- 21:24Speaker 1: Roseanne was set mainly in a family's kitchen.
- 21:28Speaker 2: That is that is wild, and mostly they were at
- 21:31Speaker 2: the table of quite a lot, but sometimes they were
- 21:33Speaker 2: up and about. But yeah, that was that was a
- 21:34Speaker 2: little wild.
- 21:35Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like the kitchen, but also the living
- 21:38Speaker 1: room because I always think about that ugly couch and
- 21:40Speaker 1: everybody had somebody in their family that had that count
- 21:44Speaker 1: Yeah with.
- 21:44Speaker 2: The Afghans hanging over. Yeah, absolutely, yep. So good stuff.
- 21:48Speaker 1: Anything else do you want to talk about here?
- 21:51Speaker 2: Uh? The fact that I couldn't come up with Bill
- 21:53Speaker 2: Watterson is a little disturbing. Who can it be? Now?
- 21:59Speaker 2: Businesses usual?
- 22:00Speaker 1: A minute work?
- 22:01Speaker 2: I was I'm a little upset that that wasn't coming
- 22:03Speaker 2: to me. But I knew all the songs on it,
- 22:04Speaker 2: so I feel like I got it. Right. Did you
- 22:07Speaker 2: know that Overkill by minute Work is one of five
- 22:12Speaker 2: songs from the eighties that debuted at number twenty nine
- 22:16Speaker 2: or higher when it entered the top one hundred.
- 22:18Speaker 1: No, I had no idea.
- 22:20Speaker 2: It was oh cool? All right, Well, here are your questions. Gosh,

- 23:17Speaker 2: say this. The guy's first name is the same as
- 23:20Speaker 2: something we just talked about in one of your trivia.
- 23:22Speaker 1: Questions, Can I phone a friend?
- 23:25Speaker 2: So your first question that you asked me was about who.
- 23:30Speaker 1: Bill Waterson?
- 23:31Speaker 2: Right? But about about what? What about Bill Waterson. What
- 23:34Speaker 2: did he do?
- 23:35Speaker 1: Oh? He he pinned Calvin and Hobbes.
- 23:38Speaker 2: So this guy that set this record, his first name
- 23:42Speaker 2: is one of is either Calvin or Hobbes.
- 23:45Speaker 1: Calvin.
- 23:45Speaker 2: Yeah, so this is Calvin Murphy. He set that record
- 23:48Speaker 2: nineteen eighty one. Of course, you wouldn't know, doubt. Here
- 23:50Speaker 2: you go. The B fifty twos released this song that

- 24:34Speaker 2: all right. This actress stars as the character Violet Newstead
- 24:42Speaker 2: in the newly released movie nine to five. I think
- 24:48Speaker 2: you've got a thirty three chance here.
- 24:50Speaker 1: Oh of course. So first of all, I love nine
- 24:54Speaker 1: to five. I love all three actresses in nine to five,
- 24:59Speaker 1: And and my mom was a huge fan of this actress,
- 25:04Speaker 1: Lily Tomlin.
- 25:06Speaker 2: That is correct. Finally, in the television category, this actor
- 25:13Speaker 2: who played the character that once owned Arnold in Happy Days,
- 25:18Speaker 2: plays Lieutenant O'Hara in the debut of the ABC drama O'Hara.

- 25:50Speaker 1: I was doing it just now. So when we were
- 25:54Speaker 1: in Gatlinburg and we went to Dollywood, Emmy and I
- 25:58Speaker 1: went through an exhibit that they have there right now
- 26:02Speaker 1: commemorating Dolly. It's amazing. But they had a whole section
- 26:06Speaker 1: on nine to five. So Emmy got to go sit
- 26:08Speaker 1: down behind the boss's desk and look all mean, really, yes.
- 26:13Speaker 2: I missed that. Did I leave early because of the Achilles?
- 26:16Speaker 1: Yeah, it was when you had left. So we had
- 26:20Speaker 1: a good time. I think it's a really good movie.
- 26:22Speaker 1: I don't think Emmy's quite old enough to watch it,
- 26:24Speaker 1: but I can't wait to watch it.
- 26:27Speaker 2: With So Dolly Parton, Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Dabney Coleman,
- 26:31Speaker 2: Dabney cole I love me some Dabney Coleman. I know

- 26:49Speaker 1: Oh is it time hit me with your best shot?
- 26:54Speaker 2: So I noticed that it goes in an order. Here
- 26:56Speaker 2: it goes events and then sports, and then music and
- 26:59Speaker 2: then movies and then television.
- 27:01Speaker 1: Correct? Is that okay to read it in that order?
- 27:03Speaker 2: Read it in that order?
- 27:05Speaker 1: Osh, this is okay, that's sad. We're going to put
- 27:08Speaker 1: that one back. That's a sad one. Now I need
- 27:12Speaker 1: to know what it was, Okay. This automobile company sells
- 27:19Speaker 1: the first mini van?
- 27:23Speaker 2: Was it Dodge?
- 27:26Speaker 1: Very kind of.
- 27:30Speaker 2: Chrysler?
- 27:30Speaker 1: Yeah, it was Chrysler nineteen eighty.
- 27:34Speaker 2: Three, the first minivan nineteen eighty three?
- 27:37Speaker 1: Huh.
- 27:37Speaker 2: We were still driving the family truckster.
- 27:40Speaker 1: Station wagon, did we were? We drove the.
- 27:42Speaker 2: Truckster until about nineteen eighty ten.
- 27:46Speaker 1: Really? Yeah, And you guys you had a couple that
- 27:49Speaker 1: would sit in the very back and look the look
- 27:51Speaker 1: out the back.
- 27:51Speaker 2: Absolutely yeah, oh yeah, absolutely yeah. You know, the back
- 27:55Speaker 2: seats would lay down. So if we were coming on
- 27:59Speaker 2: a trip, say to Atlanta, Yeah, my dad would come
- 28:03Speaker 2: home from work, immediately go to bed, wouldn't even eat dinner.
- 28:06Speaker 2: I don't think he would immediately go to bed, and
- 28:09Speaker 2: he'd wake up about nine thirty or ten, and then
- 28:12Speaker 2: we would pack up, pile up in that car, and
- 28:15Speaker 2: then they'd lay the seats down and all five of
- 28:17Speaker 2: us would just lay down and sleep while he drove
- 28:19Speaker 2: all night. I mean, do you blame him? Would you
- 28:20Speaker 2: want to drive ten hours with five kids? No?
- 28:24Speaker 1: But no, I don't blame him at all. And listen,
- 28:28Speaker 1: we did the same thing. But it's just like now
- 28:33Speaker 1: we don't go from our driveway to the entrance to
- 28:36Speaker 1: the neighborhood without making sure Emmy's like got all fourteen buckles,
- 28:40Speaker 1: I know, buckled up, you know, I know, like I
- 28:43Speaker 1: just remember whether it was really late, really early or whatever.
- 28:46Speaker 1: They would pile me into the car in my pj's
- 28:51Speaker 1: and then a few hours down the road, I would
- 28:53Speaker 1: decide I would be ready to get dressed, and so
- 28:55Speaker 1: I would just strip in the back you know, little
- 28:57Speaker 1: three year old Lens, four year old Linz just rip
- 29:00Speaker 1: and get dressed in the back seat. As we're flying
- 29:02Speaker 1: down the interstate. Yeah, and then I would I think
- 29:05Speaker 1: I've told the story one hundred times about I would
- 29:07Speaker 1: lay up in the what do you call that? How
- 29:11Speaker 1: would you explain that area to somebody that does.
- 29:14Speaker 2: It's above the seats, but underneath the back when shield.
- 29:19Speaker 1: There's a little there would be a yeah, bugs would die, yes, yes,
- 29:25Speaker 1: And I would get up there and I would lay
- 29:27Speaker 1: and like sun myself essentially, because it would get really
- 29:29Speaker 1: warm under the glass there.
- 29:31Speaker 2: Well, it's like a glasshouse, fect.
- 29:33Speaker 1: And so I would just lay there and then chill out.
- 29:37Speaker 2: So I do have something to say about eighties versus now. Yeah, Now,
- 29:42Speaker 2: the seat belts are going to protect you, but back then,
- 29:45Speaker 2: our sleeping bags would have protected us just as well.
- 29:50Speaker 1: Really, yes, you think so?
- 29:53Speaker 2: I do? All right, go on with your sports question.
- 29:55Speaker 1: Okay, this NBA Hall of Fame. You see what I'm doing.
- 29:59Speaker 1: This is what it come to. Yeah, I'm reading by
- 30:03Speaker 1: looking over the top of my glasses because that's the
- 30:06Speaker 1: only way I can see this small writing. This NBA
- 30:09Speaker 1: Hall of Famer, who averaged forty four point two points
- 30:13Speaker 1: per game as a player at Louisiana State University from
- 30:17Speaker 1: sixty eight to seventy dies.

- 30:30Speaker 1: Out of Jermaine Jackson and Randy Jackson. This artist does
- 30:34Speaker 1: not sing in the newly released song we Are the World.
- 30:41Speaker 2: So read that again.
- 30:42Speaker 1: Okay? So one of the two Jermaine or Randy?
- 30:46Speaker 2: Oh Jermaine, Yes.
- 30:49Speaker 1: Randy Jackson as in American Isles.
- 30:52Speaker 2: Oh, not as an American idol Randy Jackson. He was
- 30:54Speaker 2: not part of the Jackson five.
- 30:56Speaker 1: That's a that's a no for me. Dog.
- 30:58Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna have to say no on that one dog.
- 31:00Speaker 1: In the newly released movie Indiana Jones and the Temple
- 31:04Speaker 1: of Doom, this actor has a cameo role as Weber,
- 31:08Speaker 1: the character that meets Indiana Jones at the airport.
- 31:12Speaker 2: Oh gosh, it's been since like nineteen and eighty nine
- 31:15Speaker 2: since I've seen Indiana Jones in the Temple of Doom.
- 31:19Speaker 2: So a cameo.
- 31:23Speaker 1: Michael J. Fox So no Dan ackroyd Oh Yeah, okay, yep,
- 31:32Speaker 1: I remember now. Before Dying of AIDS in nineteen eighty five,
- 31:37Speaker 1: Rock Hudson kisses actress Linda Evans during the final acting
- 31:42Speaker 1: role of his career on this ABC primetime drama Dynasty. Yes,
- 31:50Speaker 1: nineteen eighty four.
- 31:52Speaker 2: All right, so out of all of those I would
- 31:58Speaker 2: like to talk about, I don't even remember the questions now.
- 32:04Speaker 1: So we are the world.
- 32:06Speaker 2: Well, we've talked about that, kind of talked about that,
- 32:10Speaker 2: all right, now, I'm good. Let's move on.
- 32:13Speaker 1: Okay.
- 32:13Speaker 2: So Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom eighth Indiana
- 32:16Speaker 2: Jones and the Temple of Doom was, uh, it's actually
- 32:22Speaker 2: it's It came out in nineteen eighty four, right after
- 32:25Speaker 2: Raiders of the Lost Art nineteen eighty one. But it's
- 32:27Speaker 2: actually not a sequel. It's actually a prequel. It actually
- 32:30Speaker 2: goes back and tells the story before Raiders of the
- 32:33Speaker 2: Lost Star. Yes, and it stars the actor who played
- 32:39Speaker 2: Data in the Goonies, along with Harrison Ford obviously who
- 32:45Speaker 2: it really stars but and his name was Short Round,
- 32:50Speaker 2: and I loved Short Round as a kid, and he
- 32:54Speaker 2: he would get an attitude with Kate Capshaw, who went
- 32:57Speaker 2: to high school with my dad, by the way, and he.
- 33:02Speaker 1: And he couldn't woo Kate.
- 33:05Speaker 2: Who my dad, Yeah, I mean, only Spielberg and his
- 33:09Speaker 2: billions are wooing Kate uh, short round, you call him
- 33:16Speaker 2: doctor Jones doll.
- 33:19Speaker 1: Okay, So was it short? Round? Was it short? Was
- 33:22Speaker 1: his first name? Round? Was his last name? How did
- 33:25Speaker 1: this work?
- 33:25Speaker 2: I think it was a nickname that Indy gave him.
- 33:28Speaker 1: Was he short and round?
- 33:30Speaker 2: No? It was data, dude, Data. I mean he was short,
- 33:34Speaker 2: but he certainly wasn't round. So I say, then, why
- 33:37Speaker 2: was he short round? I don't know, that's the name
- 33:39Speaker 2: Indy gave him. They didn't explain it. They didn't say, hey,
- 33:42Speaker 2: we gave him the name short round because when he
- 33:44Speaker 2: came out, he looked.
- 33:45Speaker 1: Like a pancake when he came out of what out
- 33:50Speaker 1: of his Mama? Okay, is it my turning?
- 33:55Speaker 2: It is your turn again? So this is events Sean
- 34:00Speaker 2: and Madonna are hounded by Papa Razzi during their wedding
- 34:04Speaker 2: ceremony on a cliff in this California city, Napa Malibu. Okay,
- 34:13Speaker 2: and this was in nineteen eighty five. Okay, anything to
- 34:16Speaker 2: say about Sean Penn and Madonna? Yeah, so we short
- 34:19Speaker 2: lived short Round, short lived.
- 34:24Speaker 1: We recently watched the I think Netflix documentary on Charlie Sheen,
- 34:30Speaker 1: and I've been reading a lot where Sean Penn is
- 34:34Speaker 1: getting a lot of backlash for his uh interview or
- 34:40Speaker 1: his part of the documentary really for being tone daf.
- 34:46Speaker 2: What do he mean being told he can't sing?
- 34:48Speaker 1: So I didn't know this about him, and I've done
- 34:51Speaker 1: zero research on this other than what I've read about
- 34:53Speaker 1: people not liking him. So take it for what it's
- 34:55Speaker 1: worth that apparently he does not do the internet. Okay,
- 35:00Speaker 1: So he doesn't have a smartphone, he doesn't have a computer.
- 35:03Speaker 1: So it's thought that he might not be aware of
- 35:07Speaker 1: what the public thinks of Charlie Sheen, and he thought
- 35:12Speaker 1: that he could kind of control maybe the narrative, and
- 35:15Speaker 1: he really he just looked.
- 35:19Speaker 2: Like a fool with its pants on the ground.
- 35:21Speaker 1: Yeah, smoking a cigarettes.
- 35:24Speaker 2: Okay, No, I didn't. I hadn't heard that because I
- 35:28Speaker 2: much like Sean Pinn, I don't do the internet either.
- 35:31Speaker 2: I do a little bit, all right. China's first ever
- 35:36Speaker 2: Winter Olympic team competes in the Winter Games in this city. Okay,
- 35:48Speaker 2: so it's either eighty eighty four or eighty eight.

- 35:56Speaker 2: That is crrap?
- 35:58Speaker 1: No, are you see? I pulled that one out.
- 36:01Speaker 2: So Lake Placid nineteen eighty Wow, not the nineteen ninety
- 36:08Speaker 2: nine movie starring Betty White in The Alligator. But Lake
- 36:14Speaker 2: Placid in nineteen eighty hosted the Winter Olympics, and that
- 36:18Speaker 2: is where the Miracle on Ice took place when the
- 36:22Speaker 2: Americans took down the mighty Russians yep in the semi finals.

- 36:47Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think you'll get this one though. I
- 36:51Speaker 2: think this one's pretty obvious.
- 36:55Speaker 1: Is it Living on a Prayer? No, wanted dead or Alive?
- 37:03Speaker 2: That is correct, Although I think it's funny that this
- 37:05Speaker 2: card says dead or alive. I think this guy probably
- 37:08Speaker 2: needed a little bit of help back in the day.
- 37:11Speaker 2: It's not the band dead or Alive. You spin me
- 37:15Speaker 2: right round, baby, right round. It's wanted dead or Alive. Yes,
- 37:19Speaker 2: but that is correct. You got that correct. I did
- 37:21Speaker 2: not realize though, that that was the song that launched
- 37:24Speaker 2: MTV's Unplugged.
- 37:26Speaker 1: So that's the song that launched the whole thing.
- 37:28Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 37:29Speaker 1: Really, Yeah, I had no.
- 37:30Speaker 2: Idea movie time. This movie premieres and features a scene
- 37:41Speaker 2: where Kevin Bacon's character is murdered while lying in bed
- 37:46Speaker 2: after having relations.
- 37:47Speaker 1: Oh are you having to reword that? Did they cook dinner?
- 37:54Speaker 2: Yes?
- 37:55Speaker 1: Okay? Is that it I interrupt you or that? No?
- 37:58Speaker 2: That was it?
- 37:59Speaker 1: So he was murdered while cooking dinner after dinner. He
- 38:03Speaker 1: was murdered after dinner.
- 38:04Speaker 2: Yeah, laying in bed after dinner.
- 38:11Speaker 1: Kevin Bacon. Oh, somebody Friday's Bason? So the movie I've
- 38:20Speaker 1: done for golf? What are we wanting to know who
- 38:22Speaker 1: the murderer was or the movie? And this is from
- 38:27Speaker 1: the eighties. Oh, oh, was it Jason? Was it Friday
- 38:34Speaker 1: the thirteenth?
- 38:34Speaker 2: It was Friday the thirteenth? The original? Really it wasn't Jason.
- 38:38Speaker 2: Wasn't Jason before Jass?
- 38:40Speaker 1: So I didn't know Kevin Bacon.
- 38:42Speaker 2: Was in the the original nineteen eighty Friday the Thirteenth.
- 38:47Speaker 2: All right, this one, I think you'll get television. ABC
- 38:54Speaker 2: cancels threes Company, which features a theme song with these
- 39:00Speaker 2: opening lyrics.
- 39:03Speaker 1: Come and knock on our door. We've been waiting for you.
- 39:09Speaker 2: That is correct. So that theme song did not do
- 39:16Speaker 2: well in our theme Song tournament because it was up
- 39:19Speaker 2: against in the first round, it was up against the
- 39:21Speaker 2: Muppet Show.
- 39:22Speaker 1: Yeah, and you didn't expect the Muppets to be as
- 39:25Speaker 1: popular as they were. I did not. Yeah, that caught
- 39:28Speaker 1: you off.
- 39:28Speaker 2: It totally caught me off guard. So I was I
- 39:31Speaker 2: was a little bit surprised with that. And I feel
- 39:33Speaker 2: like that song got a raw deal. It is a
- 39:38Speaker 2: it's a fantastic theme song. So how many deserved?
- 39:42Speaker 1: How many cards do you have?
- 39:45Speaker 2: Like a billion?
- 39:46Speaker 1: But how many of you gone through?

- 43:25Speaker 1: of the.
- 43:25Speaker 2: Sugary honey smacks. Might be the most underrated, underrated good cereal.
- 43:32Speaker 2: So people are going to talk about chocula which was fantastic,
- 43:36Speaker 2: or U Cocoa crisp or Cocoa puffs or maybe even
- 43:41Speaker 2: tricks Golden Gram's very underrated as well. Apple jacks top
- 43:46Speaker 2: of the line, fruity pebbles top of the line, but
- 43:50Speaker 2: honey smacks or sugar smacks either one of those very underrated.
- 43:54Speaker 1: Here are the cereals in our house. Frosted flakes, Cheerios,
- 44:00Speaker 1: rice Crispy treats.
- 44:01Speaker 2: What was the first one?
- 44:03Speaker 1: Frosted flake.
- 44:04Speaker 2: They're great.
- 44:05Speaker 1: If you were lucky, you could go with rice crispy
- 44:09Speaker 1: treats and mom would put a spoonful of sugar on top.
- 44:13Speaker 2: Okay, so the cereal is just rice crispies. You make
- 44:19Speaker 2: rice crispy treats out of rice crispies and sugar and glue.
- 44:27Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, right, which then stays in your gut
- 44:30Speaker 1: for the rest of your life.
- 44:32Speaker 2: I could not stand rice crispies as a kid, and
- 44:35Speaker 2: I had a spoonful of sugar I had. You did
- 44:38Speaker 2: that too, Yeah, you had a spoonful of sugar, Rice
- 44:40Speaker 2: crispies and cheerios because otherwise they were nasty. Little kids
- 44:43Speaker 2: aren't eating that crap?
- 44:44Speaker 1: That That was all?
- 44:46Speaker 2: That was all I had, So did you have frosted
- 44:48Speaker 2: flakes or did you have corn flakes?
- 44:50Speaker 1: Frosted flake?
- 44:51Speaker 2: Okay, so that actually they were frosted with sugar. So
- 44:54Speaker 2: that was actually a decent yeah, taste and cereal. But yeah,
- 44:57Speaker 2: the milk the rice crispies was nasty. So except for
- 45:02Speaker 2: they did snap, crackle and pop, which is kind of fun.
- 45:04Speaker 1: Every once in a while. And buy every once in
- 45:06Speaker 1: a while, I mean once every like three or four years.
- 45:09Speaker 1: She would buy me a cap and crunch. But then
- 45:12Speaker 1: we all know what that does. Oh yeah, it.
- 45:14Speaker 2: Leaves the roof of your mouth, we're all and like
- 45:17Speaker 2: hanging down like a piece of charden meat.
- 45:20Speaker 1: Yes, so I would eat like one bowlful. It would
- 45:23Speaker 1: cut my roof of my mouth and that's all I
- 45:27Speaker 1: would eat. I wouldn't eat anymore. She would get upset.
- 45:29Speaker 2: You'd have two hanging downy things from your mouth.
- 45:33Speaker 1: Yes. So it was just a cycle there with the
- 45:36Speaker 1: with the cereal.
- 45:37Speaker 2: Yeah no, you you missed out on the fruity pebbles
- 45:40Speaker 2: and the apple jacks and the gold oh, golden grams.
- 45:44Speaker 2: Oh you know what was good. What wasn't good was
- 45:51Speaker 2: life cereal. Mikey likes it, right, Life Cereal.
- 45:54Speaker 1: I don't even were they were they flakes?
- 45:57Speaker 2: No, they were like they were almost like checks kind
- 45:59Speaker 2: of Are they combs? No? No, not, they weren't honeycombs.
- 46:04Speaker 2: Were they which were just average?
- 46:06Speaker 1: To me?
- 46:06Speaker 2: Honeycomb's just average. You know what we need to do
- 46:09Speaker 2: a tournament of cereals, breakfast cereals, honeycombs. No, they were
- 46:15Speaker 2: just like it was almost like checks kind of right,
- 46:17Speaker 2: life cereal, Mikey likes it. Life not good. However, my
- 46:22Speaker 2: uncle Robert, I went over. There were nights where we
- 46:27Speaker 2: had to spend the night at his house because my
- 46:29Speaker 2: youngest sister had real bad asthma, and back then they
- 46:32Speaker 2: didn't have rescue in hailers, so she would have to
- 46:34Speaker 2: go and spend the night the hospital. So we'd have
- 46:36Speaker 2: to spend night my aunt and uncle's house, who just
- 46:37Speaker 2: lived right around the corner from us. But my uncle
- 46:41Speaker 2: was a big fan of Cinnamon Life, and so I
- 46:44Speaker 2: woke up and I tried that over there, and from
- 46:48Speaker 2: that moment on, I've been a big Cinnamon Life fan.
- 46:50Speaker 2: Like Cinnamon Life is fantastic, Regular Life Nike may like it,
- 46:54Speaker 2: but Mikey likes stuff that tastes like But cinnamon Life.
- 47:02Speaker 2: Mikey should have gone for that.
- 47:03Speaker 1: That's the way to go.
- 47:05Speaker 2: Yes, that is the way to go. All right, Next question,
- 47:08Speaker 2: I don't expect you to get this. It's a sports question.
- 47:11Speaker 1: I love we just right out of the gate. We
- 47:13Speaker 1: know Lindsay's an idiot.
- 47:14Speaker 2: Well, no, it's a sports question. Do you follow sports?
- 47:17Speaker 1: No?
- 47:18Speaker 2: Did you follow football in the eighties? So you're probably
- 47:21Speaker 2: not going to get this done. I don't think it's
- 47:22Speaker 2: a Lindsay's an idiot. This Cincinnati Bengals running back first
- 47:27Speaker 2: performs his self titled shuffle after scoring a touchdown in
- 47:32Speaker 2: an NFL game.

- 47:36Speaker 2: It was the Ikey Shuffle, Ikey Shuffle performed by Ikey Woods.
- 47:42Speaker 2: Oh okay, So this is a question, Jeff, Dave's going
- 47:45Speaker 2: to get. But I don't know if you will, and
- 47:47Speaker 2: I'm not sure that I would have either. Maybe, but

- 48:08Speaker 1: Because he lives in Tennessee.
- 48:10Speaker 2: How do you like me? No, this is how you
- 48:14Speaker 2: like me? Now, it's not Toby Keith.
