- 0:17Speaker 2: Kind of kind of it's not that long ago, but
- 0:21Speaker 2: then I guess it is. Things have changed a lot.
- 0:23Speaker 1: Well, yeah, nineteen ninety six was thirty years ago. But
- 0:28Speaker 1: so I love this list because I can relate to everything.
- 0:31Speaker 1: Showing up at somebody's house unannounced just to hang out.
- 0:35Speaker 1: People actually did that and they were happy to see you.
- 0:38Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of like Kramer on Seinfeld.
- 0:41Speaker 1: Right, So if that happened today, Yeah, if I pulled
- 0:45Speaker 1: up to your house unannounced, like go.
- 0:47Speaker 2: Into panic mode. My house is not ready to receive it.
- 0:50Speaker 1: Were like longtime best friends, you would still panic.
- 0:53Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you can't see me like this.
- 0:54Speaker 1: Yeah. I remember back in the day, like in the
- 0:56Speaker 1: seventies when I was a kid, the neighbors would just
- 0:59Speaker 1: walk over randomly and have a drink with my parents. Yeah,
- 1:02Speaker 1: and it was like they come on in and five
- 1:04Speaker 1: o'clock hang out. And talk.
- 1:06Speaker 2: Yeah, there was like a lot of stopping by, yes,
- 1:09Speaker 2: no more, nope, what else? Not being reachable at all times?
- 1:13Speaker 2: Remember that that happened yesterday.
- 1:15Speaker 1: Yes, this is your Horizon customer.
- 1:18Speaker 2: Yes, it was like a revisit to old times.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Well right there, there are people want answers now, they
- 1:23Speaker 1: want a text message, you know, right back and call
- 1:27Speaker 1: back and.
- 1:28Speaker 2: Yeah if somebody's trying to reach you and you weren't home,
- 1:30Speaker 2: oh well they had to wait.
- 1:31Speaker 1: Mm hmm. Now this is something you should never do.
- 1:35Speaker 1: I mean maybe if the weather is okay, but leaving
- 1:37Speaker 1: your kids in the car while you go grocery shopping.
- 1:41Speaker 1: I mean that happened a lot back in the day.
- 1:43Speaker 2: Oh yeah, your parents would let you wait in mint
- 1:45Speaker 2: car all the time.
- 1:45Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:46Speaker 2: They would just roll the windows down.
- 1:47Speaker 1: Right and they turned them and we'll be back. You
- 1:49Speaker 1: know what I used to do, not all the time,
- 1:52Speaker 1: but when it did happen, I got in trouble when
- 1:54Speaker 1: my mom or dad went to the store, you know,
- 1:56Speaker 1: they turned the car off.
- 1:57Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:58Speaker 1: I would turn the wincho wipers on, hit the blinker, turned.
- 2:02Speaker 2: The radio all the way up, pretend you're driving.
- 2:04Speaker 1: No, no, no, I would have everything go on when
- 2:06Speaker 1: they started the car again.
- 2:08Speaker 2: Oh oh, I would hop behind the seat and just
- 2:12Speaker 2: turn the battery right, just have that going during the
- 2:15Speaker 2: battery and put the radio on and pretend that I
- 2:18Speaker 2: was starting. Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah.
- 2:20Speaker 1: I used to love it when my mom turned the
- 2:22Speaker 1: car on, all of a sudden the music came on.
- 2:24Speaker 1: The windshill wagers were, Oh, she'd be like Paul.
- 2:28Speaker 2: It's always been in here.
- 2:30Speaker 1: That's my real name.
- 2:31Speaker 2: By the way, Yes, you were pranking her.
- 2:33Speaker 1: Uh huh. Smoking in a restaurant those days are long gone.
- 2:37Speaker 1: Remember Burger King they had smoking sections. Wow, And they
- 2:41Speaker 1: had the U McDonald's and Burger King. All the fast
- 2:43Speaker 1: food places had these gold ash trays made of aluminum.
- 2:48Speaker 1: Remember those. You can kind of bend them and fold them.
- 2:51Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no.
- 2:53Speaker 1: You just tuned in. These are things that are socially
- 2:55Speaker 1: unacceptable now, but they were.
- 2:57Speaker 2: But we did them in the nineties, even the eighties.
- 2:59Speaker 2: Baby sitting at age ten, multiple kids at once, Yes,
- 3:03Speaker 2: I did that. I did that.
- 3:05Speaker 1: You were a ten year old babysitter. Yeah, like I
- 3:07Speaker 1: remember having thirteen and fourteen year old babysitters. Huh, and
- 3:10Speaker 1: I was seven and thinking they were like super.
- 3:13Speaker 2: Old and responsible.
- 3:15Speaker 1: Yes, funny. No, there's no way there'd be a ten
- 3:17Speaker 1: year old babysitter.
- 3:18Speaker 2: Yeah, that sounds crazy now, I know.
- 3:21Speaker 1: Making plans with somebody multiple days in advance, not talking
- 3:25Speaker 1: to them about it again, just showing up. No, that
- 3:28Speaker 1: doesn't happen anymore. You need three or four confirmations that
- 3:32Speaker 1: it's still on.
- 3:33Speaker 2: I confirmed back in the day, just saying, but okay.
- 3:37Speaker 1: Another thing here, having no idea where your kids are?
- 3:40Speaker 1: They literally had to make PSAs that said it's ten pm.
- 3:43Speaker 1: Do you know where your children are? I think Fox
- 3:46Speaker 1: five still does that.
- 3:47Speaker 2: It is crazy. And this last one I'll give to
- 3:50Speaker 2: you because this is something I would never do.
- 3:53Speaker 1: I did this. I did this couple of days ago,
- 3:55Speaker 1: mooning people. It was such a common prank back in
- 3:59Speaker 1: the day and people just kind of accepted it. Try
- 4:02Speaker 1: it now you might get arrested or could be some
- 4:04Speaker 1: HR issues. So no mooning.
- 4:06Speaker 2: So be careful when you walk past Jim Curse studio.
- 4:08Speaker 1: I usually lift my shirt, I know, but you know
- 4:10Speaker 1: what I might do the old mon.
- 4:13Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Call HR light FM
