00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:52.679

00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:15.560
March February, it was January.
Oh man, it's been long enough.

12
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:18.359
That's all it's all to say about
that. It's it's been a wow.

13
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:25.480
It's been some weird corter to show

00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:29.200

wow. Everything just turns into a bad

15
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:34.000
Scott staff though he does. That's

17
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:42.079
that we're not talking about music though, when you're not talking about although we

18
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:46.920
will have another music. We finally
did something right. I think we started

19
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:51.200
making a list of what our episodes
should be coming forward. Here are you

20
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:56.120
telling me production value? Yeah?
Yeah, we're gonna have some prep finally,

21
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:57.760
Yes, we have a list.
We're just gonna not gonna just get

22
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:00.840
you know, by by the seat
of our pants. Were actually gonna have

23
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.840
a list of upcoming episodes. Where
can I still fly by the seat of

24
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:07.000
our past? Yeah? Yeah,
that's what we do. Yeah, that's

25
00:02:07.039 --> 00:02:12.520
what makes this show great. Yes, but now we just have a little

26
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:16.639
less fly. Yeah. Although I'm
looking pretty fly today with mine. All

27
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:21.199

Again? You don't know? Jack?

29
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:27.080
From here? Up? I think
it's from here anyway. I would

30
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:29.879
move the camera to make it work, but no, I'll do it cut.

31
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:31.199
We'll do it in post. Yeah, I don't know if that's gonna

32
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:35.240
we'll do it live. We won't
do it live. We can't reference that

34
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:47.759

this, um, let's see. The

35
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:54.759
last episode we did was The Wife
cast Um. There were some really one

36
00:02:54.879 --> 00:03:00.280
in particular Lancaster person, my brother
in law Dan, who thought and they

37
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:05.599
are not kind enough to the Great
County of Lancaster, which we offended somebody.

38
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:08.560
Is that what we do? Yeah, we're offenders. We were that.

39
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:14.599
We were We talked about Lancas for
retirement place. It was it was

40
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:16.360
a number one, I think it
was on the list, but number two.

41
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:20.719
He thought we were just a little
bit harsh, a little bit harsh

42
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:25.199
on the Amish. And it is
what it is is he is he amish.

43
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:30.000
He's not amish. Oh you're from
Lancaster, you must be amish,

44
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:32.599
you must be amish. He's got
a beard though, right, he does

45
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:36.719
have a beard. Okay, Uli, he's got a nice, pretty,

46
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:38.879
pretty sizable beard. Uh, well
he did. I don't know what it's

47
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:42.479
that currently. I don't know.
I'll see him, you'll see him soon,

48
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:46.319

50
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:54.280
is my son's first birthday. Oh, happy birthday, Calvin. Oh yeah,

51
00:03:54.319 --> 00:04:00.360
Calvin's Numero uno. So family are
coming up from Pennsylvania to celebrate,

52
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:05.280
celebrate him. It's a big it's
a big, big deal, big accomplishment.

53
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:10.280
He had survived one. You can
make it through year one, you

54
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:13.039
can make it through anything. He's
done good. Um, but that's not

55
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:16.279
what we're not here to talk about, Calvin. What really prompted this episode

56
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:24.120
was, Um, some friends gave
gave Lily some toys. Lily is my

57
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:27.160
five year old. If you don't
know, if you're new to the show,

58
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:30.480
Lily is my five year old.
And one of the toys that was

59
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:35.839
given to Lily was a light bright. And now this is not the this

60
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:41.079
is not the light bright that I
remember. It's a lot more compact youth.

61
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:45.399
Yea, it runs on battery,
it's mobile, it's everything anywhere,

62
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:48.800
which you don't really want to make
light bright mobile picture those little that's still

63
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:53.959
the same attack. Yeah, you're
gonna drop those little things everywhere. Um,

64
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:57.480
but she got a light bright.
So that got me thinking about my

65
00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:00.600
wife and I were just talking to
the kitchen. I'm like, remember our

66
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.079
light brights. I mean they were
huge. You had to plug them in,

67
00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:04.959
and to plug them in, there
was no Yeah, you had to

68
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:09.120
be stationary in one area where it
could reach the plug, you know.

69
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:14.759
Yeah, but it came with like
these construction paper type templates with the shape

70
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:16.560
that you wanted to make, and
you kept them. Um, and when

71
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:19.480
they were new, you actually had
little x's to punch them through, and

72
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:23.800
then after that you just had to
make sure you hit the right bullet hole

73
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:26.079
if you wanted to make the shape
again. Yeah, I remember them.

74
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:29.680
They were like a black right.
Did it fit perfectly in it? Yep?

75
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:32.560
It had the little circles to push
them through. Yeah, I remember

76
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:39.399
those. The Magic of Colored Light? Does that the turn on the Magic

77
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:42.879
of Colored Light? Oh yeah,
yeah, Okay, I don't remember the

78
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:46.560
light bright ingle, but yeah,
um yeah, so everybody had those.

79
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:53.000
Really. Now, getting toys that
are nostalgic to me made me think we

80
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:59.319
should talk about nostalgic toys on the
show. Yeah, because we were though

81
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:02.319
we were both worn in the eighties, we are really I mean, you

82
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:05.519
had more time in the eighties than
I did. Um, but we're really

83
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:09.879
kids of the nineties. Yeah.
And the nineties was a great nineties,

84
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:15.279
strong, absolutely great nineties, the
best era of television aside from Breaking Bad

85
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:18.560
being in the two thousands. But
when I think of children's programming. The

86
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:25.519
nineties owned it, the nineties owned
toys. Um, so we're gonna talk

87
00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:30.079
some some some nineties toys. Game. Um, we can't wait, game

88
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:34.519
game, Chris's game. So now
we have we have our own list of

89
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:40.600
things that we just were spit bawling
going down memory lane. Um. But

90
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:44.240
we also have a couple of articles
online that we're gonna reference. Um from

91
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:50.040
a site called retro dodo and then
another not so popular site but maybe it's

92
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:54.519
it's called BuzzFeed. I don't know, maybe you've heard. It'll never catch

93
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:58.720
on there. The better list is
actually on retro dodo though. Yeah,

94
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:02.000
I feel like they they captured more
of the nail days. So we're gonna

95
00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:05.360
just talk about some of those toys, and we're gonna we're gonna hit toys

96
00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:10.439
that we wish we had but didn't
have. Yeah, which as we just

97
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:13.199
get to them, we could just
mention. Yeah. Absolutely, Um,

98
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:17.439
so I guess we should just should
we start off with the first one on

99
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:20.839
on the retro good list. Yeah, this one was huge. UM,

100
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:25.120
I'll share my staking comeback too.
I think you're gonna see some of the

101
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:29.160
things I buy online, apparently because
getting very targeted ads on this blog.

102
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:34.480
UM bought some splitters from Arii on
Amazon, but the first one, the

103
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:42.680
Tomagotchichi Tamagotchi Tomagotchi, seemed like the
coolest thing. They were cool and I

104
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:46.040
don't know why they were cool,
like you just keep this little thing alive.

105
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:47.240
See. I never had one,
though, but it was always It

106
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:50.360
started. I think it started out
with the girls having them, and they

107
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:54.079
were like, oh, they had
their little pets, yeah, and stuff

108
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:56.600
and and babies, and then all
of a sudden, it's like, guys

109
00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:59.000
started like, it's actually pretty cool. I want to get one of these.

110
00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:01.639
And I had a friend who had
one. Everybody had that. Did

111
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:03.879
you have that friend? Everybody had
that one friend that was probably the richest

112
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:07.920
kid in your grade, right,
and he had everything, always had the

113
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:11.279
cool stuff and all the cool stuff
before anybody else did. Yes, absolutely

114
00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:15.160
at the standard for like this is
what you should get if you want to

115
00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:18.879
be cool. Yeah, there's yeah, and he had You are so right,

116
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:20.879
you are so right. I can't
think of who that kid is,

117
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:24.879
but for me it was his name
was Blake Boffman. Yeah, with Blake,

118
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:28.160
Blake would have Yeah, he had
everything. He was cool. He

119
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:31.279
I feel like I had a friend. I think my friend Gregor Raldi had

120
00:08:31.320 --> 00:08:35.879
everything. Um, he wasn't an
only child, but he just had good

121
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:39.879
stuff. Yeah he had what he
had a race car bed. Oh yeah,

122
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:41.559
you know what I mean. Like, if you have a race car

123
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:48.120
bed, you're probably gonna have a
good childhood. You have satisfied child Tommigotchi

124
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:52.480
the thing I remember Tomagotchi, not
me playing with it, but that they

125
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:56.960
got banned in my elementary school because
girls were getting in fights over them.

126
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:05.799
Gosh, over these silly little electronic
digital eggs eggs. Yes true. So

127
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:11.320
oh, I just realized I've had
it on the Tamagotchi screen the whole time.

128
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:13.720
That's right. And this is this
is why I shouldn't try and do

129
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:20.039
video stuff, because it just fails. So that's Tamagotchie. Here's another one.

130
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:22.840
We'll just keep going on here because
this is a big one. Beanie

131
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:28.759
Babies. Beanie Baby, I remember
when those were were big and people were

132
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:31.399
collecting them like nuts. I never
really got into him. I wasn't really

133
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:33.799
much of a stuffed animal kind of
person, but I had a lot of

134
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:37.679
friends who love those things. I
had quite a few beanie babies, did

135
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:39.600
you. I even had like the
beanie baby holder that you would put it

136
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:46.600
in like the little like display case
for my special ones. I don't remember

137
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:48.279
we still have them, Well,
we do have. I do have beanie

138
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:50.919
babies. My daughter has them now. And what's the first thing she did?

139
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:56.279
What did you do? Ripped off
the tags because she hates tags.

140
00:09:56.559 --> 00:09:58.720
Take the tags off. I'm like, literally, you don't take the beanie

141
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:01.360
baby tag off? Yeah, that's
just now what you do? Um if

142
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:03.480
they collect they made it like twenty
years with the tags on. You had

143
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:09.159
them for a week and they oh
they're not new ones you they were yours?

144
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:13.639
Yes? Oh man, yeah,
that's they're worthless now. They didn't

145
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:16.039
have much value anyway, we shot
we gotta go antiques roadshow around here and

146
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:20.159
see what kind of Yeah, my
beanie babies probably aren't the probably aren't the

147
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:24.840
ones making it on that. Everybody
said, I don't know why beanie babies

148
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.519
were so yeah, what made them
so popular? Why did we care?

149
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:31.559
I don't know, because they were, I guess because anything that if you

150
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:35.320
make it for a little while and
then you cut productions, say we're discontinuing

151
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:39.600
this particular one. Then all of
a sudden, people are like, oh,

152
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:41.840
it's like the last of the last. That means there's a limited supply

153
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:45.799
of them. They're not gonna just
keep churning them out, so all of

154
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:48.519
a sudden it becomes oh, I
want I wanted that one, but he

155
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:50.240
can't buy it now, but you
have it. Yeah, But it was

156
00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:54.840
like but they were even popular before
they were limited edition runs. I feel

157
00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:58.679
like like probably cultures weird, Like
just all of a sudden, it's like

158
00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:01.120
this is gonna be popular and people, we're gonna love it. That's before

159
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:05.440
influencers too. It's the regular people
are the ones set the standard for things.

160
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:09.200
Yeah, nothing's like anyone was an
influencer. That's true. How do

161
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:11.759
it was the original? We don't
know who was the og original. I

162
00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:15.639
don't know who knows. But this
is another. This is another one we

163
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:20.039
had. My brother had this one. I didn't have it. Stretch arm

164
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:24.200
strong. Um it's probably not a
better picture. That's that's what they got.

165
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:28.080
But um it looked a little bit
different than that it had. I

166
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:31.039
think you wore like a red suit
if I remember correct. They they had

167
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:35.320
multiples. Definitely a cartoon I think
of it didn't they for a little while.

168
00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:37.440
Oh maybe because they always made cartoons
to push toys. Of course,

169
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:43.039
that's true. I learned that on
the toys that made us like, oh,

170
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.919
the show existed because of the toy, not the toy existed because of

171
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:54.919
the show. Oh yeah, the
toy companies owned my mind. But yeah,

172
00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:58.000
so I think this is the first
iteration of stretch stretch armstrong, just

173
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:03.120
like a dude and under your pants. Yeah that you stretch out. Um,

174
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:05.559
But there was there was like Rick
Flair a little bit in that picture.

175
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:09.480
Whoa, whoa. I follow this
is I know, it's a side

176
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:13.679
note. I follow an account on
Instagram called no Context rick Flair, and

177
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:16.080
so basically it just puts like this
everyday scenario and then a video clip of

178
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:20.720
Rick Flair being Rick Flair, which
is just ridiculous, over the top,

179
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:26.240
like charismatic. It was excitable,
excited about something. It's a great account.

180
00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:30.480
No context you get you got to
look it up. It's great.

181
00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:33.960
Yeah, stretch Armstrong was fun.
I don't know what. Literally, the

182
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:35.679
only appeal is stretch his arms as
far as you can. Right. That

183
00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:39.720
was a while though. Yeah,
that just ends up in the bottom of

184
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:43.559
the toy box exactly. Um,
so many toys in that way. Uh,

185
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:46.919
polypockets on the list. I'm not
going to talk about that because I

186
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:54.600
didn't play with Polypoeis Blake had POGs? I guess of course Blaken. Okay,

187
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:58.639
can we look at this? Look
at this ad gedius tool taking us

188
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:07.559
by store A. Yeah, I
love ads on the internet. Um,

189
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:13.960
but POGs. I know almost everybody
had POGs. I knew no one who

190
00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:20.240
played POGs. Right. It was
a collector's item and you tried to I

191
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:24.799
guess if I remember correctly, you
would just stack them up somehow or put

192
00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:28.000
them together, and then you have
what were they what were the really heavy

193
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:31.039
ones called the slammers. Slammers,
You had the slammer and these were all

194
00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:35.720
made of like essentially just cardboard.
H Yes, they were cheap, in

195
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:39.360
fact, cheaply made. I ended
up. One of the toys I had

196
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:43.159
as a kid was a make your
own pog O thing. Yeah. So

197
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:46.879
it had like a sticky like you
it had pre kind of cut out POGs

198
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:52.519
or something you could stick like something
from a magazine or a picture on it,

199
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:54.960
and then the machine would stamp it
down and basically cut you out.

200
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:58.720
A custom pog. Yeah, so
you make your own. You had that,

201
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:01.639
I had it, oh man,
yeah, it was pretty cool.

202
00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:05.440
Um. Another set of POGs that
had, which I was my favorite set

203
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:09.080
was it had just like a Michael
Jordan collection. So I had like this

204
00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:13.639
silver slammer with the two three on
it and then just images of him dunking

205
00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:18.200
sweet which it was just cool.
Yeah, yeah, it wasn't cool.

206
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:20.000
I don't know. But but the
whole, the whole premise of the game

207
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:24.279
was you put them in and then
you would throw the slammer down and whatever

208
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:28.360
fell outside or you knocked over something
like that, you got to keep.

209
00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:31.639
I don't even know. I think, I don't know. And then that's

210
00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:35.480
how you would somehow get other people's
because this is like, you know,

211
00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:37.879
it's not it's they're not cards,
and you weren't trading them, but you

212
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:41.360
had to play this game. People
people would trade them. They would trade

213
00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:43.960
them, that's true, but you
had but the right way to do it

214
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:46.399
was you played this by throwing the
slammer down and somehow kind of like marbles,

215
00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:50.360
like hitting marbles outside a certain area, and then you got to keep

216
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:56.360
it. So they didn't they didn't
know, but they were they were they

217
00:14:56.360 --> 00:15:01.840
were really big for like a month
that scenes they slightly long the year or

218
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:07.360
something. I also had these POGs
with like bad um ah, like weird

219
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:11.879
humor on them. There's was one
about like a guy taking the crap on

220
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:13.519
him or something, wasn't it Okay, I didn't have that one. The

221
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:20.639
guy's like like look like they were
like it was like, uh, I

222
00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:24.679
don't know and now I can't.
Right, they were human. I had

223
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:30.399
like little jokes on it, like, uh, something in the sun Dried

224
00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:33.240
Kid instead of like the sun Dance
Kid, so uh Buffalo Bill and the

225
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:39.200
Sundance Kid was like barbecued Bill and
the sun Dried Kid like something stupid.

226
00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:43.440
Yeah, ridiculous on it. Anyway, let us progress because the nineties had

227
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:48.159
much far better things to offer than
the than the pugs. But POGs were

228
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:52.759
good. Um, what are you
getting? I'm sure, I'm just I'm

229
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:56.360
just trying to get just like this
is Oh you gotta get talk about these

230
00:15:56.360 --> 00:16:00.279
ones. We'll talk about these little
these little ones sponsored by Teamable. Um,

231
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:06.879
this is before the movies, before
the movies, which thankfully they changed

232
00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:11.840
the look for the movie. Probably
imagine if they were just naked trolls.

233
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:18.360
Skin tone, naked kids with colorful
hair. Oh, but trolls have existed

234
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:22.679
for a really long time. Yeah, because I remember when I was a

235
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:27.480
kid having trolls, and then my
mother let me play with like her old

236
00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:30.919
trolls house or something that she still
had from a kid. I didn't know

237
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:34.240
it was like a little suitcase thing. I think it was, unless I

238
00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:37.200
always just played with it as that, right, I wasn't that, but

239
00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:41.720
I think it was. I think
they go way back. But they had

240
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:44.559
and they had different sizes. They
had like the mini ones that were really

241
00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:47.639
small. Then they had the normal
size ones that were you know, couple

242
00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:49.279
maybe four inches. Then they had
the ones that were really big. Oh

243
00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:52.840
I never had those. I had
the I guess the mid size, Yeah,

244
00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:55.399
the midsize, standard size, Yeah, the standard size, and they

245
00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:57.120
asked. And even the standard sized
ones they had a little um some of

246
00:16:57.120 --> 00:17:00.960
them had a little gem in the
belly. But I'm saying these ones are

247
00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:04.839
though missing. Yeah, when I
was a kid, the most relevant thing

248
00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:08.279
was not only the hair, but
to have the belly button. Yeah,

249
00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:11.440
the belly button gem in it or
something like that. But yeah, these

250
00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:15.359
ones they're lacking. These are just
purely naked with big hair. Yeah,

251
00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:19.079
but I don't just like trying to
mess with the hair and make it do

252
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:22.920
different. They like staying up to
the left, or like trying to part

253
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:26.839
part it or even some I think
some girls even remember um that had them

254
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:30.000
would try to braid them or something
like that. Really. Yeah, I

255
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:32.079
did have it. Mine came with
a brush, but I don't think it

256
00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:34.519
ever. I never used it.
But after the Trolls movie came out,

257
00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:38.160
they didn't try to like make Yeah, it's not like they have a Patrols

258
00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:42.119
toys like this. I'd like they
had little tiny ones. My daughter had

259
00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:45.799
some of them, but they never
they didn't. They didn't go back to

260
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:51.599
come back to this mode, even
in a colorful way. Um, okay,

261
00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:53.519
this this is one of those games
I always wanted but never had.

262
00:17:56.039 --> 00:18:02.160
This track game maustrap. We played
this one for hours. This always seemed

263
00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:07.160
it was so much the coolest game. I think it's just a commercial.

264
00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:12.000
Yeah, I think the appeal of
it, um is it's almost like the

265
00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:15.960
opening of Peewee's Big Adventure. Yes, when he has the whole in the

266
00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:19.640
breakfast. The breakfast like, that's
what it reminded me of. Yes,

267
00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:25.480
something you can make with any rector
set um because you had this ball to

268
00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:30.599
drop down. Yeah, you'd fire
the person I guess and yeah, and

269
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:34.160
it would he would go into that
little tub here. Yep. Yeah,

270
00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:38.599
this whole chain reaction. It was
fun. And I don't even know how

271
00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:42.559
the game is actually I'm seeing around
the outside there's places to move. I

272
00:18:42.599 --> 00:18:45.440
don't know how this game. Well, the first time you get it.

273
00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:48.759
First time you get it, obviously
you play the links candy, you would

274
00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:52.119
play by the rules where you're building
it as you go along. But then

275
00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:55.359
but then after that, like you've
done it once or twice, you're like,

276
00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:56.359
oh, we're just gonna build it
because it was more fun just to

277
00:18:56.359 --> 00:19:00.640
build it and just to keep that
was the appeal. Why should go through

278
00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:04.559
all emotions? Yeah, so that
was that's that's that's a great board game.

279
00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:07.119
Man. I still want I look
at this and I go, we

280
00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:10.599
should get mouse Trap. Now I
have the power to just go get mouse

281
00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:17.839
Trap. Yeah you can, oh, e Bay, that's right. Um,

282
00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:21.240
I'm Ferbie's on the list. I'm
not talking about Ferbie. Should we

283
00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:25.920
talk about other board games? Furbi's
dumb um, yeah, just in here.

284
00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:27.599
Yeah, what do we have because
we st it down. So we

285
00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:30.680
talked about that was one of them. Were like, that was a great

286
00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:34.039
game. Um, mouse trap operation
which is coming back the full force.

287
00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:38.200
I'm the doctor for you, Doctor
for you. That was a great game.

288
00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:41.400
That's that's back again. One of
the most difficult games too, especially

289
00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:45.559
what was the one that was the
hardest one in that one the butterfly.

290
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:48.440
Would you say, what game are
you talking? Oh? Oh, operation

291
00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:52.680
um, because that was the one
get around a funny bone. It was

292
00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:57.519
very narrow. Yeah, I remember
getting the bread out of the stomach.

293
00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:04.119
Wasn't that called the bread bask?
Yeah, the bread basket that don't break?

294
00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:07.720
The ice remember that don't break?
Now? What did you do?

295
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:11.039
You wet a paper towel, put
it on it, and then just stacked

296
00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:15.000
marbles on it till it broke.
No, it was just like it was

297
00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:18.759
just essentially they look like ice cubes. That's that one. And yeah,

298
00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:22.119
and and what you did it was
almost like like a janga kind of game

299
00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:26.079
where you just instead of removing the
uh, you know, the piece from

300
00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:30.759
the tower, instead, this was
you're knocking out a piece of the ice

301
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:33.079
around this person that's on it.
I'm thinking of a different one then Oh,

302
00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:36.200
because yeah, because why don't you
know what you're talking? Yeah,

303
00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:37.839
and you you had a little hammer
and you hit it out, hit that

304
00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:41.640
little piece off, and it would
still remain and then eventually, you know,

305
00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:45.240
somebody would hit it and the whole
thing would just collapse and you would

306
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:48.039
lose. Oh, I was thinking
of the game. I remember that one

307
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:52.200
A tall, I don't know.
It sits up off the table a little

308
00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:55.880
bit, and you'd put something on
it, a weekend piece of paper,

309
00:20:55.880 --> 00:20:57.839
I think, with water, and
then you would go and you'd have all

310
00:20:57.839 --> 00:21:03.759
these marbles on it. Eventual whoever
made them fall through the paper lost.

311
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:06.279
I don't remember that game. I
don't remember what it's called now, but

312
00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:07.720
that would be a fun one.
Um this one here, I found this.

313
00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:11.599
I just saw this at Target.
I always thought this game was awesome.

314
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:15.759
Crocodile Dentist. Yes I never had
this one, but this was a

315
00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:18.000
cool game too. Had a timer
on it. Right, look at this

316
00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:23.680
tagline. You're the croc doc in
this game of daffy dentistry. Crocodile Dentist.

317
00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:29.519
And I think if you pulled the
wrong tooth, his mouth snap shut

318
00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:33.720
or something. So it's kind of
kind of one of those games. Milton

319
00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:37.920
proudly made some of the best games. Oh they were good, they were

320
00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:41.400
good. Yeah, he just four
and up like Hungry, Hungry hippo.

321
00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:44.200
Remember that that was a great game. I never had that one. Oh,

322
00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:45.799
we had the game. That was
a lot of fun to play.

323
00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:49.319
These games didn't take a lot of
not a lot of brain power, which

324
00:21:49.319 --> 00:21:53.480
is a lot of fun. It
was just you know, take something out

325
00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:56.920
of here or get or collect as
many marbles as you can. So it

326
00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:00.079
was very simple, straightforward, a
lot of fun. There were a lot

327
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:03.640
of options for those games in the
nineties. Exactly know what And I don't

328
00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:07.599
know if this game originated in the
nineties. But a game that's fun in

329
00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:11.759
our house now is Pop the Pig. Oh, yes, I love Did

330
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:15.400
that exist when we were kids,
I don't think so. Yeah, you're

331
00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:19.759
you basically you're inserting your hamburgers into
this pig's mouth, you pop its head,

332
00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:23.279
and then then all of a sudden
it explodes. Then then you lose,

333
00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:26.920
and it's it's a fun game.
I like that game. We got

334
00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:30.279
that. I think we play whoever
pops the pig is actually the winner winner.

335
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:33.000
I don't know what the Royal State. I forget. All I know

336
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:37.279
is it's got a number eight on
each of the hamburgers. Yes for how

337
00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:41.279
many? Yeah? Uh yeah.
And Lily just always wants to be the

338
00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:47.039
one who pops the pig, of
course, and every kid devastated. Let

339
00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:49.960
me talk about Lily's devastation for a
second. No, would be devastated.

340
00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:56.359
So for Easter, she's five,
right, you said she's five. For

341
00:22:56.440 --> 00:23:00.880
Easter, we did a Easter egg
hunt and the Easter eggs had little prepackaged

342
00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:03.839
prizes in them, and one of
the prizes was a tiny little yo yo

343
00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:08.119
and she actually got I think two
of them, and then they were tangled

344
00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:14.960
together and not worth untangling. They
were not good yo yos right as far

345
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:17.440
as yo yo's go. They were
probably some of the worst yo yos she

346
00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:22.079
could ever use. And they were
sitting on our kitchen table one night,

347
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:29.480
and as is our nightly tradition,
Lily doesn't want to get ready for bed,

348
00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:32.880
and she gets very distracted at bedtime, and so she had the yo

349
00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:34.519
yos. I'm like, give me
the yo yos. And then I was

350
00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:38.039
going to do this no matter what, but at that moment, I just

351
00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:41.759
put him in the garbage because if
we were done, they were useless.

352
00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:44.160
Yoyo. I just saw you doing
it. Oh, she saw me.

353
00:23:44.359 --> 00:23:47.599
She was stopped gutting her tracks,
and she was very sad getting ready for

354
00:23:47.640 --> 00:23:51.359
bed. And then she goes in
the bedroom to talk to mommy. And

355
00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:53.240
she hadn't said anything to me.
She didn't freak out, she didn't break

356
00:23:53.240 --> 00:24:00.640
down, but she goes in the
bedroom and she starts breaking down to mommy

357
00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:04.440
about these yoyos and the statement she
made three times, not only them,

358
00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:07.599
but also when I was putting her
down for bed, she would get sad

359
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:15.319
about the yoyos. Did she go, I just can't stop thinking about them.

360
00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:22.079
I just can't stop thinking about the
yo yos. And then it's like

361
00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:30.039
we both we both laugh at it
because it was so dramatic over the worst

362
00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:33.480
toy that was ruined and unplayable.
Did she get upset when you were laughing

363
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:37.200
about it too? I tried to
hide that. I really did the hard

364
00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:41.839
part when you're you can't help it. It was just it's such a passion.

365
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:45.559
I just can't stop thinking about it. Lily, you had the yoyos

366
00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:51.599
for less than twenty four hours.
You never used them. They were terrible.

367
00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:53.799
They were. They were bad,
bunched up. My plan wasn't to

368
00:24:53.839 --> 00:24:56.599
throw them out as a punishment.
It was just like, okay, we're

369
00:24:56.680 --> 00:25:00.960
done with these. Yeah we had
them. Yeah, so that was that

370
00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:04.079
was funny. That's another nostalgic toya
yo yo. Oh. Yeah, yoyos

371
00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:07.279
were huge when I was a kid. Yeah, me too. And also

372
00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:08.680
the yo yo balls. Remember the
yoyo balls where he didn't have to have

373
00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:11.359
any skill whatsoever. Yeah, you
could just like throw it around it and

374
00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:15.960
always come back. Oh terrible,
terrible. I had a yoyo with the

375
00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:21.160
sleeper. Oh Yomega Yomega fire ball. Oh you remember the name? Oh

376
00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:23.279
yeah, it was good. Who
who made those? Remember the smoke Oh

377
00:25:23.359 --> 00:25:26.640
Yomega? Remember the Smothers brothers?
Is that the name of them? I

378
00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:30.400
know who? Yeah. They always
had a guy on it that was a

379
00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:33.519
yoyo expert. So whenever they would
do like their comedy bit or whatever,

380
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:37.559
they always have a time where they
would show a yo yo like presentation.

381
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:41.000
And this guy was unbelievable, I
think, and I think, um,

382
00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:45.440
yeah, he had one of those
brands. You know, he was always

383
00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:48.519
peddling. You know who has some
yoyo skills. You know that a guy

384
00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:52.359
Elijah were running ran into a Starbucks
the other day, came to our church.

385
00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:55.559
Yeah. Um, he's just super
into yo yoing. Really, he's

386
00:25:55.559 --> 00:25:57.720
a good yoyo. I didn't know
that. Yeah, I would. I

387
00:25:57.720 --> 00:26:02.720
would plug his Instagram people, but
I don't remember it. With your competitions,

388
00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:06.279
yeah, yeah, petitions, I
think. Uh. I went to

389
00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:10.079
school a guy named Mike Phillips in
college. I think he yo yoed really

390
00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:11.920
back in the day. And she's
amazing what people can do with that thing.

391
00:26:12.119 --> 00:26:15.519
Yeah. I was just happy to
be able to do like Rock the

392
00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:17.400
Cradle. Yeah, me too.
I couldn't like, oh I got the

393
00:26:17.440 --> 00:26:19.279
triangle and the things moving, Yes, I could just I could just do

394
00:26:19.319 --> 00:26:22.920
the sleeper. That's about all I
could do, and I felt pretty good.

395
00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:26.240
Um, all right, let's let's
keep moving down the list here.

396
00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:30.119
Oh man, they're not showing you
the cool, they're showing you the average.

397
00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:37.039
But super soakers those are awesome,
Like there were squirt super Soaker fifty

398
00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:38.640
was the original I think that was. It was in that color. I

399
00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:41.799
don't know if that's the same size, but yeah, I mean great,

400
00:26:42.039 --> 00:26:45.839
you pump it, you pump it? Yes, Shoot someone with a beam

401
00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:48.680
that was a game changer when he
had when he had you didn't have a

402
00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:52.000
pool growing up, which I never
did, and you wanted to have and

403
00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:55.920
you didn't want to just run through
the sprinklers because that was kind of like

404
00:26:55.960 --> 00:26:59.160
boring when you get to a certain
age. But if you had like a

405
00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:03.000
super soaker, my my, awesome. My cousin, my cousins, the

406
00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:07.480
person who always had My cousin Jimmy
always had the cool stuff only childs and

407
00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:15.000
Jimmy cousin Jimmy both I had two
only child cousins who always had great things.

408
00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:18.599
My cousin Larry always had the most
up to date game system. My

409
00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:22.359
cousin Jimmy Hassell had those but also
had great toys. And he had a

410
00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:27.519
collection of super Soakers, the XP
into the thousands, which basically meant you

411
00:27:27.559 --> 00:27:30.720
were going to get a wells when
you got shot with it. Yeah.

412
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:34.279
Remember I remember at some point my
parents have to say, um, don't

413
00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:37.559
hit each other in the heads with
that, you know what I mean?

414
00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:40.559
Or in the ear because remember that
you see I think it was Oh,

415
00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:44.799
it would always be like, yeah, you guys can use these ones,

416
00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:48.640
and it's like this version of the
super that'd be while he comes out with

417
00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:52.359
the one that has like three tanks
on it. I had the two pumps

418
00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:57.400
and the things you didn't handle was
like a hose, you know what it

419
00:27:57.480 --> 00:28:02.880
was like the XP five thou was
under something had a backpack, didn't the

420
00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:06.839
back I don't. I think you're
right, but I don't know that I

421
00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:08.000
saw that one they got. They
got out a hand after a while.

422
00:28:08.039 --> 00:28:11.279
They were unbelievable. Did they exist? Can you get a supersoker anymore?

423
00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:14.799
I don't see them as stores.
I mean I haven't looked when I go

424
00:28:14.880 --> 00:28:18.279
to Target or you know, Walmart, I don't see. I don't see

425
00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:19.640
them that. If I did,
I'd be like, I'm getting one of

426
00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:22.359
these. And see. That's why
the nineties were good, because you could

427
00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:26.839
get toys that potentially hurt you and
we all turned out. Okay, we

428
00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:33.240
did tougher because of it, exactly. Oh Man, super Soakers Supersoakers were

429
00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:37.039
so much fun, so much.
That was a blast. And the game

430
00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:41.880
the indoor nobody wanted but everybody got. Yes, right, yes, that's

431
00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:48.359
right. This is a game that
was the parents stock. You know those

432
00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:52.240
memes that's like, Mom, can
I get a game? Boy, while

433
00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:53.519
we have game Boy at home,
right, and then they show you game

434
00:28:53.519 --> 00:28:59.559
Boy at home. That's the Tiger
handheld computer game. Everybody started out,

435
00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:07.880
I'm lad him for Super Nintendo,
but you haven't. Awful parents understand that

436
00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:12.720
I had Mortal Kombat on that little
Tiger handheld game. And look how ridiculous

437
00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:17.920
they look now if you think about
it nowadays. Can you imagine like one

438
00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:22.839
it did one thing. Yeah,
it played that game and it could only

439
00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:26.079
go left or right or you push
two buttons. Look at this one,

440
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:34.079
pick slash carpet and here's lamp.
I had Batman one. They were so

441
00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:37.400
customized, but they were. There
were games though, that my parents can

442
00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:41.240
play. Like my dad got to
the point he was playing those and we

443
00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:44.400
would go back and forth and say
who could get past level seven? You

444
00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:47.359
know what I mean? And he
would somehow do it right. But then

445
00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:49.519
once we got into real video games, he's like, I'm not playing these.

446
00:29:49.559 --> 00:29:52.160
I can't play these games. So
I'm gonna go ahead and say these

447
00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:57.200
Tiger handheld games, um, which
are unique. You buy it, you

448
00:29:57.319 --> 00:30:02.960
get that one thing. There's all
so the comparable like music, oh man,

449
00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:06.799
peace check these out. That's right. Hit clips I didn't even remember

450
00:30:06.839 --> 00:30:10.799
this until until you reminded me,
or I really remember. I totally forgot

451
00:30:10.799 --> 00:30:12.200
about it. I remember seeing it's
right here, I remember seeing the end

452
00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:17.079
sync one on the aisle. Now, back then, I couldn't openly say

453
00:30:17.119 --> 00:30:21.359
I liked end sync because that would
label me poorly. But now I openly

454
00:30:21.400 --> 00:30:23.039
say, and sync is awesome.
Would that be a a guilty pleasure?

455
00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:32.720
End sync? I don't should have
about sync end sync. Um, that's

456
00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:34.519
one of the ones coming up we're
gonna do Guilty Pleasure Part two. Yeah,

457
00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:38.359
a guilty pleasure, I guess,
is anything that you listen to right

458
00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:44.559
that you're like, I don't want
somebody hear me listening exactly guilty pleasure song?

459
00:30:44.839 --> 00:30:48.680
Now, whether society like people like
go, yeah you just listened to

460
00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:52.000
Bye Bye Bye? Who cares?
Right? But like now they're like nobody

461
00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:56.960
anybody seeing me sing to this?
You know what? Yeah, while in

462
00:30:56.039 --> 00:31:02.319
my car, just down I song. I learned at some point in life

463
00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:07.960
to just embrace wholessness, right,
and it's freeing. Yeah, no,

464
00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:12.240
don't care, no apologies. So
is anything truly a guilty pleasure for me?

465
00:31:12.319 --> 00:31:17.359
I don't know. Maybe maybe it
still is, but these, Yeah,

466
00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:22.079
I think one song. Yeah,
you're just buying a song. Who

467
00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:26.200
is Hoku? I don't remember.
I don't know. Um, yeah,

468
00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:30.000
I'm trying to think, oh this
is uh that ninety eight degree? No,

469
00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:34.640
who is that? I can't tell? Soil decision. I don't even

470
00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:41.279
know that. I don't know.
Yeah, eighteens ridiculous. But yeah,

471
00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:48.559
it's just funny the way technology is
progressed so quickly, because like, like

472
00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:52.200
we went from having these Tiger handheld
games, so like now you can get

473
00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:56.880
a handheld game that has all the
regular Nintendo games or any games on it.

474
00:31:56.119 --> 00:32:00.960
It's like, oh, yeah,
unbelievable. Yeah, a game system

475
00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:04.559
like the switch where you can essentially
switch from doing it. I'm gonna play

476
00:32:04.559 --> 00:32:07.240
a handheld out No, I'm played
up on my TV now, right,

477
00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:07.960
you know what I mean? It
used to be one or the other,

478
00:32:08.799 --> 00:32:15.440
and now it's it's they found a
way to combine them together. Man.

479
00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:20.519
But I will say I'm glad that
I experienced those games. Oh yeah,

480
00:32:20.559 --> 00:32:24.720
me too. It helps you to
really appreciate what you got nowadays with you

481
00:32:24.839 --> 00:32:30.680
know, oh you got you gotta
mention these. I'm these these these were

482
00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:32.720
the pinnacle of the toy collection in
the early night, and those were the

483
00:32:32.799 --> 00:32:37.400
exact ones that we that we had. Those are the originals and they were

484
00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:39.599
so well made, so good.
The only reason I don't have them now

485
00:32:39.640 --> 00:32:42.960
days because I threw them away.
It's not because they actually wore out.

486
00:32:43.079 --> 00:32:45.119
Like you couldn't wear out. You
couldn't wear out toys back then, teenage

487
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:49.599
ninja turtles. My brother still has
all our turtle toys. Really, he's

488
00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:51.720
got him and he lets his kids
play with them because we played with them,

489
00:32:51.720 --> 00:32:53.359
we didn't collect them. Yeah.
Same my brother in law, Kevin,

490
00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:58.559
he collects them. He collects toys, toy so he probably don't take

491
00:32:58.599 --> 00:33:00.720
him out he's dating in the boxes
or any like that. No, I

492
00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:04.680
mean I guess, um, I
guess he has some um that he would

493
00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:07.000
take out and let people play with. But yeah, he gets like the

494
00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:08.920
new, up to date turtle toys
and stuff. But yeah, these were

495
00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:13.960
great. The belts came off,
yes, yep, Um, you always

496
00:33:14.119 --> 00:33:19.519
lost and this this picture actually this
shows it well, you always lost.

497
00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:24.519
Um. Michelangelo's nun chucks are raft
size because they were they were too small.

498
00:33:25.039 --> 00:33:28.880
And this this, this, this
is everyone's toy collection. Yeah,

499
00:33:29.160 --> 00:33:32.559
you had his staff and you had
Leonardo Donatello staff and Leonardo's sword. Um.

500
00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:37.079
Yeah, but what they call them
though, they didn't call them swords

501
00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:42.079
katanas katanas. Yes, but the
nun chucks were gone and the size were

502
00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:45.880
gone in like a week. We
had which was a pretty cool. Um

503
00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:52.400
um. Addition to the collection was
we actually had the sewer. Oh did

504
00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:53.839
you really? So you had like
their living room and then you could catch

505
00:33:53.920 --> 00:33:57.640
these little pipes and have them go
through sewer pipes. Cool. We never

506
00:33:57.720 --> 00:33:59.920
had anything like that. I think
I had. I had who were the

507
00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:04.640
to the two Bebop and rock stead
rock Steady I had. We had the

508
00:34:04.720 --> 00:34:09.559
two villains and Crane was the brain
right. I think we had kran Krang.

509
00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:14.320
We had Krang, but he and
he had he had to go inside

510
00:34:14.360 --> 00:34:20.239
of another like he yeah, inside
of a character. I forget that so

511
00:34:20.400 --> 00:34:22.079
he could control it or forget.
Yes, we didn't have any of the

512
00:34:22.239 --> 00:34:27.440
like other cool like the like you
said, the sewer or anything like that.

513
00:34:27.559 --> 00:34:30.920
We had that. We had.
You remember the rat King King,

514
00:34:30.239 --> 00:34:36.400
So we had the rat Kings like
device that he wrote on in the sewers.

515
00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:38.320
Yeah, we had a lot of
great turtle toys. We had the

516
00:34:38.360 --> 00:34:44.519
turtle bus um which folded down like
with his big fly bus. That was

517
00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:49.800
really cool. Oh yeah, oh
man, volkwagon wasn't it essentially was a

518
00:34:49.920 --> 00:34:52.280
VW kind It was a little The
one we had was a little different.

519
00:34:52.280 --> 00:34:55.920
It was like a turtle van.
We had a turtle van, that's what

520
00:34:57.000 --> 00:34:59.880
it was. It was like a
mixture of the astro van and a volks

521
00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:01.880
It's like a weird mix of both. It was cool. Um, but

522
00:35:01.960 --> 00:35:06.519
we had a turtle. No,
we did have a bus too. I

523
00:35:06.559 --> 00:35:10.360
don't know you have turtles had so
many iterations. I don't remember if we

524
00:35:10.440 --> 00:35:14.679
had a splinter. I don't think
we had splinter. We must have,

525
00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:16.639
I don't know. We also had
like the movie version of the toys.

526
00:35:16.920 --> 00:35:22.280
Oh, they weren't hard plastic like
these ones. They had like a rubbery

527
00:35:22.079 --> 00:35:24.760
texture to them. He could pop
the arms and the head off and everything.

528
00:35:24.920 --> 00:35:28.800
I didn't know that. But they
were a totally different feel. But

529
00:35:28.920 --> 00:35:30.639
they looked like the movie turtles,
which are always a little weird. Think

530
00:35:30.639 --> 00:35:35.880
they've ruined the turtles with the new
iterations. Well this is just me being

531
00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:37.920
old, right, Yeah, I
guess so I would say yeah, because

532
00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:43.760
I'm like, I guess that's how
every every parent is, you know,

533
00:35:43.920 --> 00:35:46.199
as they get older and they they
go through things and something that then they

534
00:35:46.280 --> 00:35:50.440
recycle something that's been around since their
childhood. They're like, oh, it

535
00:35:50.519 --> 00:35:52.679
was the originals always better. Yeah, you know what I mean, so

536
00:35:52.840 --> 00:35:58.000
but not as good. But I
think there has been too many adaptations of

537
00:35:58.039 --> 00:36:00.400
the turns and the new one's coming
up to with Seth Rogan's pop. You

538
00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:05.159
know who ruined the turtles, Um, Michael Bay the Michael Bay Turtles.

539
00:36:05.280 --> 00:36:09.159
Yes, I didn't need that.
That guy specializes in destroying childhood memories.

540
00:36:09.320 --> 00:36:15.760
Transformers, Ninja Turtles, right,
because Transformers, that's it. We'll just

541
00:36:15.880 --> 00:36:19.719
move over to that toy. Because
Turtles and Transformers were the two. I

542
00:36:19.800 --> 00:36:22.440
feel like that were the coolest.
They were toy to have. The og

543
00:36:22.719 --> 00:36:29.199
Transformer toys. Where my cousin Jimmy
had a ton, I only had like

544
00:36:29.320 --> 00:36:32.079
two. I think I had who
was the who's the main one, the

545
00:36:32.199 --> 00:36:37.440
the big semi truck, Optimist Pro, optimiust Prime. Everybody had Optimist Prime,

546
00:36:39.079 --> 00:36:43.480
and I think we had one or
two other ones that were still little

547
00:36:43.480 --> 00:36:46.920
bit smaller. But yeah, we
we weren't big into them, but every

548
00:36:47.000 --> 00:36:51.679
kid had. They were cool toys, especially um, you had. They

549
00:36:51.719 --> 00:36:54.639
were well made. Yeah. Some
of there, Mike, they were jet

550
00:36:55.639 --> 00:37:00.840
uh. Some of them were metal, like the Optimist Prime wasn't just plastic

551
00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:02.440
was like there was a mixture of
both. Yeah. Yeah back then the

552
00:37:02.840 --> 00:37:07.760
substantial Yes, yeah, there were
a good quality toy that would would stand

553
00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:08.960
the test of time. Yeah.
Yeah. He had a ton of them.

554
00:37:09.440 --> 00:37:13.679
Um, and in that same I
guess it would just keep pushing forward.

555
00:37:13.719 --> 00:37:15.480
Here's a toy that I don't think
I had a single one of but

556
00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:20.599
I always wanted was the g I. Joe Action figure, Like oh yeah,

557
00:37:20.679 --> 00:37:24.320
the tall like the decently sized almost
doll. Yeah, but you don't

558
00:37:24.360 --> 00:37:29.320
call it a doll. Yeah they
were that's right. It was a boy

559
00:37:29.400 --> 00:37:32.639
toy. Actually that sounds bad.
It's a boys it's a boy's toy.

560
00:37:32.920 --> 00:37:36.960
Yeah. Um, we had we
had too. I had one of my

561
00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:38.000
brother had one. We got him. I think we got him for Christmas.

562
00:37:38.039 --> 00:37:42.599
One year I didn't have any.
Yeah, I had the Cobra Commando

563
00:37:42.719 --> 00:37:46.079
with the Ninja and and the thing. It was cool because his um,

564
00:37:46.440 --> 00:37:49.960
his mask came off here like and
and and then the in the show,

565
00:37:50.199 --> 00:37:52.360
he never saw him that his mask
on or like, so the first thing

566
00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:53.719
we was taken off to see what
he looked like underneath, and then when

567
00:37:53.760 --> 00:37:57.960
he take it take it off.
Underneath he's got one of those he's got

568
00:37:58.039 --> 00:38:01.039
like a he's got you see his
hair in his eyes, but he's got

569
00:38:01.119 --> 00:38:05.679
a mask over his face, like
a cowboy mask kind of thing. Oh

570
00:38:05.840 --> 00:38:10.000
so you still you still can't see
what. I always thought the coolest looking

571
00:38:10.239 --> 00:38:15.719
one was the like the Arctic Gijo. Yeah, with all the white.

572
00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:19.679
Yeah, it's so cool. Those
were cool. That's so cool. I

573
00:38:20.280 --> 00:38:22.400
I liked that look so much that
even when I was playing Golden Eye sixty

574
00:38:22.440 --> 00:38:27.960
four, like, I just liked
playing the um the level called surface where

575
00:38:27.960 --> 00:38:30.400
you're in the snow, because they
had soldiers that looked like that. I

576
00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:35.239
still thought, look cool, right, it's just a cool look. It

577
00:38:35.360 --> 00:38:37.800
is a very cool look. They
were barbies for boys. Yeah, that's

578
00:38:37.840 --> 00:38:42.360
really gi Joe was essentially was I
mean, and I had to I had

579
00:38:42.440 --> 00:38:44.559
We only had one of each of
those big ones, but before that we

580
00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:47.079
were really big into the just the
regular acts of figures like the Originals.

581
00:38:47.239 --> 00:38:51.000
I remember the first time they I
saw them and I knew what they were,

582
00:38:51.320 --> 00:38:52.880
and I had to explain to my
parents for Christmas that year that I

583
00:38:53.000 --> 00:38:55.559
wanted Gi Joe's, but I didn't
want to make sure they didn't think I

584
00:38:55.679 --> 00:38:59.880
meant the army men, the Green
army men, So I said, I

585
00:39:00.039 --> 00:39:02.559
wanted the Jos that the arms move
up and down and around, and they're

586
00:39:02.599 --> 00:39:07.960
like, okay, the feet,
the feet aren't so sealed in place exactly,

587
00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:09.719
you could actually move them around.
Oh. We spent hours playing with

588
00:39:09.840 --> 00:39:15.039
g I Joes. Those were such
great toys, you know, rubbing that

589
00:39:15.119 --> 00:39:16.960
one in Yeah, oh you never
had I'm sorry, sorry, We spent

590
00:39:17.199 --> 00:39:22.360
hours playing with those. Amazing.
We had the Gee two where it had

591
00:39:22.440 --> 00:39:25.320
the gun on it where you could
put somebody up there and it was it

592
00:39:25.440 --> 00:39:30.519
was it was really cool. Oh
yeah, everybody had switching to this one,

593
00:39:30.039 --> 00:39:37.079
the most ridiculous. The Velcrow Toss
and catch. And if you're listening

594
00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:40.480
to this on audio, you know
what I'm talking about. Yeah, this

595
00:39:40.599 --> 00:39:45.599
little plastic thing that could fall apart
at the drop of a hat. The

596
00:39:45.760 --> 00:39:47.760
velcrow that, no matter what age
you were, seemed too small for your

597
00:39:47.800 --> 00:39:52.599
hand or too giant. There was
never a happy medium. Uh. And

598
00:39:52.800 --> 00:39:57.039
it was red or it was green
and pink. Oh yeah, it was

599
00:39:57.079 --> 00:39:59.800
always always it was green and pink, and you know what if if the

600
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:02.159
if it ever got wet where you
got dirt on it, it's done.

601
00:40:02.239 --> 00:40:06.880
They always can't, yeah, because
you're always dropping it because it doesn't catch

602
00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:09.760
perfectly every single time. You had
to like fob it, yeah, kind

603
00:40:09.800 --> 00:40:16.039
of catch it gracefully, like like
oh, catch it like yeah, exactly.

604
00:40:16.119 --> 00:40:20.599
And then if you're like any other
small child and you go, let's

605
00:40:20.639 --> 00:40:22.960
y'all fast, we can throw it, and then you throw it too hard,

606
00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:25.760
it would hit the cardboard backing and
then the thing would pop apart.

607
00:40:27.400 --> 00:40:30.760
They left with this plastic backing on
your hand while the cardboard and the velcro

608
00:40:31.199 --> 00:40:34.679
lay on the ground, you know. And it's essentially what do they do

609
00:40:34.760 --> 00:40:37.840
with all them? Because they they
must have just turned those into dog toys

610
00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:40.679
because those those look essentially like the
balls that you would throw for dogs to

611
00:40:40.760 --> 00:40:44.920
catch. Yeah, are they like
go fetch? And he absolutely does.

612
00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:49.320
I just like that. Why did
everybody have this? Though, Like every

613
00:40:49.400 --> 00:40:52.480
parent in the nineties was like,
my kid's gonna love this. I think

614
00:40:52.519 --> 00:40:54.039
it was a lot of grandparents too, Like grandparents would get that, like

615
00:40:54.159 --> 00:40:58.480
we got those from our grandparents,
but I don't remember what we got yet

616
00:40:58.599 --> 00:41:00.280
or like, but I don't remember
hate it, But looking back, I

617
00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:06.400
go, what a yeah, mah
toy it was just not give me,

618
00:41:06.599 --> 00:41:08.119
give me a ball in a in
a mitt and he's through. You know,

619
00:41:08.320 --> 00:41:14.440
the crow toss and catch didn't even
really have a game a name.

620
00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:19.639
No, yeah, exactly. Everybody
knows what you're talking about when you when

621
00:41:19.639 --> 00:41:23.960
you when you mentioned them, or
show them sc scrolling scrolling through the list,

622
00:41:24.559 --> 00:41:30.000
because some of these things, maybe
for different people, these bring up

623
00:41:30.079 --> 00:41:32.880
different, uh memories. Some of
these I don't remember. You didn't remember

624
00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:36.639
this one. I'll just mention it
because I thought it was awesome. Remember

625
00:41:36.679 --> 00:41:40.079
it. Biker Mice from Mars.
I thought was so cool. It was

626
00:41:40.119 --> 00:41:45.320
a show that I liked, which
I'm one hundred percent believed that that show

627
00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:49.679
must have come from the toys.
Not the opposite, Um, biker mice

628
00:41:49.760 --> 00:41:52.679
from Mars. It were street Sharks, which you didn't remember, but I

629
00:41:52.760 --> 00:41:58.039
had a street Shark and they were
awesome. Um okay, oh yeah take

630
00:41:58.119 --> 00:42:01.599
here, let's take a little stop
here. Yeah. Those are great remote

631
00:42:01.639 --> 00:42:07.280
control cars. They were all over
the place. They they were so good.

632
00:42:07.360 --> 00:42:12.360
And this one in particular, the
Tycho Rebound, was sweet because it

633
00:42:12.440 --> 00:42:15.159
could flip over and you could just
keep driving the other Yeah, the other

634
00:42:15.280 --> 00:42:19.039
direction it would I think it was
blue on one side and it's probably red

635
00:42:19.079 --> 00:42:22.039
on the back and show it in
the picture as well. But yeah,

636
00:42:22.039 --> 00:42:24.719
I remember that seeing that commercial.
That was the coolest thing. Like everybody's

637
00:42:24.840 --> 00:42:28.519
jaw dropped and they saw that.
You can keep playing with it. You

638
00:42:28.519 --> 00:42:30.280
don't have to like it knocked like
other ones knock over, you gotta go

639
00:42:30.320 --> 00:42:32.599
over, you gotta pick it up, put it back on it Like that

640
00:42:32.760 --> 00:42:36.480
one. You could just you could. It was there's no stopping it.

641
00:42:37.039 --> 00:42:39.880
It was so much time. I
never had one spell RC. But we

642
00:42:39.920 --> 00:42:45.679
know what we did have. We
had the coolest um, the coolest remote

643
00:42:45.679 --> 00:42:46.840
control car because it was one that
you had a glove. You put a

644
00:42:46.880 --> 00:42:52.000
glove on and it had the remote
on the back essentially and you would just

645
00:42:52.280 --> 00:42:55.440
use your hand to guide it so
forward, minute would go forward, backward,

646
00:42:55.559 --> 00:42:59.039
go back, left and right,
and then it had this little button

647
00:42:59.079 --> 00:43:01.719
in your palm that you push that
button and it would turn on turbo mode

648
00:43:02.000 --> 00:43:05.840
and it would go faster and that
thing. But the thing ran out of

649
00:43:05.880 --> 00:43:08.840
batteries in like twenty minutes. Every
remote control card. Oh yeah, yeah,

650
00:43:09.039 --> 00:43:13.400
you could not have extended fun.
Yeah, it would just okay,

651
00:43:13.599 --> 00:43:15.840
tend to go inside and charge it
and do something else. It's the opposite

652
00:43:15.840 --> 00:43:19.719
of how batteries worked now, like
you can quick charge something and then use

653
00:43:19.760 --> 00:43:23.000
it for an hour or more whatever
it is, depending on what you're charging.

654
00:43:23.159 --> 00:43:27.719
Then it was this is gonna take
all day to charge and you're gonna

655
00:43:27.760 --> 00:43:30.480
get twenty minutes out of it,
and so true. And everything was like

656
00:43:30.519 --> 00:43:34.360
out of the box when you bought
it, like charge before first use,

657
00:43:34.679 --> 00:43:37.840
like every kids four hours before I
could play with this. Yeah, and

658
00:43:37.920 --> 00:43:40.639
if the battery in the car didn't
die, then the battery and the controller

659
00:43:40.760 --> 00:43:45.400
oh yeah yeah, and it took
and yeah, the controller battery was took

660
00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:46.800
like six least of the one I
knew on the back of it too,

661
00:43:46.920 --> 00:43:51.400
like six double as you're like you
and you're ruined it in twenty minutes,

662
00:43:51.440 --> 00:43:54.000
and you're like, I think we
even had the knockoff version of the Tycho

663
00:43:54.079 --> 00:43:58.440
Rebound, which no, maybe it
was Techo. I don't know. I

664
00:43:58.760 --> 00:44:01.199
feel like I remember it taking like
D batteries Oh yeah, yeah that you

665
00:44:01.239 --> 00:44:06.280
had to replace. You wasn't even
necessarily a rechargeable type deal. Um,

666
00:44:06.440 --> 00:44:08.719
my dad had a remote control car
that I'm not sure where he got it,

667
00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:14.360
but that thing could fly but had
like a ten minute years time.

668
00:44:14.760 --> 00:44:17.639
Yeah, and interble batteries back then
were terrible like they are and they are

669
00:44:17.679 --> 00:44:21.320
compared to right, because if you
charged it before it was dead, then

670
00:44:21.320 --> 00:44:24.280
you actually lost battery power or something
ridiculous. Yeah, they didn't They didn't

671
00:44:24.320 --> 00:44:29.360
keep. They didn't keep very long. So we always end up just getting

672
00:44:29.400 --> 00:44:32.119
regular. Well, one of the
things that we kind of already talked about

673
00:44:32.119 --> 00:44:35.800
it, but we talked a little
bit about UM board games. One of

674
00:44:35.840 --> 00:44:39.360
the board games that I wanted and
I never got. I think you,

675
00:44:39.639 --> 00:44:45.880
I think you agree with this was
UM Crossfire. Remember Crossfire, Crossfire you

676
00:44:45.239 --> 00:44:51.559
get caught up in the crossfire.
Yeah, oh that was a great commercial.

677
00:44:51.639 --> 00:44:57.719
I never forget that that commercial.
Just it Crossfires seem like this is

678
00:44:57.760 --> 00:45:02.800
the game that's gonna make you just
own the universe exactly. It's the battle

679
00:45:02.840 --> 00:45:07.440
to end all battles. I love
the the key peak. Kids are flying

680
00:45:07.559 --> 00:45:13.079
in on the ulver boards, everyone's
gathered around the crossfire. It's like,

681
00:45:13.280 --> 00:45:15.880
yeah, it's almost like a battle
to the death, you know what I

682
00:45:15.000 --> 00:45:19.039
mean? This is this was a
real deal. Oh man, it was

683
00:45:19.159 --> 00:45:22.960
so good. I'm I'm this this
is a commercial worth bringing up. Yeah,

684
00:45:23.119 --> 00:45:25.440
if you, in fact you posted
it recently, that's what made me

685
00:45:25.519 --> 00:45:29.360
think of it. I think,
Yeah, I think a lot of this

686
00:45:29.559 --> 00:45:34.880
is being fueled with the fact that
I started following another Instagram account or also

687
00:45:35.000 --> 00:45:42.360
on Facebook nostalgia video. It's a
store um nostalgia video and they post all

688
00:45:42.440 --> 00:45:45.920
these things from the nineties, and
uh I saw, yeah the crossfire video.

689
00:45:45.960 --> 00:45:51.000
All right, so yeah, relive
this moment maybe for the first time.

690
00:45:51.000 --> 00:46:05.360
If you've never seen it. It's
awesome crossfire yeah fire, my goodness.

691
00:46:07.440 --> 00:46:10.920
I thought there were other people around. Maybe there's a look at the

692
00:46:12.039 --> 00:46:17.159
lightning so cool. Now. I
think my nan had this at her house,

693
00:46:17.239 --> 00:46:20.800
so I got to play it.
Good, But I never owned the

694
00:46:21.079 --> 00:46:23.880
Oh yeah, there's all the people. Look at that pixelization such a such

695
00:46:23.920 --> 00:46:28.239
a o goodness you got you actually
get the chance to play it. I

696
00:46:28.719 --> 00:46:30.400
don't think I ever if I remember
quickly, I don't think I even got

697
00:46:30.440 --> 00:46:34.320
a chance to play it. It
definitely. I mean, it was kind

698
00:46:34.320 --> 00:46:36.920
of fun because you're shooting. That's
another game at the nineties. This this

699
00:46:37.079 --> 00:46:39.480
gun shoots hard metal balls, right
you could never do that nowadays, Like

700
00:46:39.519 --> 00:46:43.280
if you detach the gun, I'm
pretty sure you could launch metal balls at

701
00:46:43.320 --> 00:46:45.280
someone. And yeah, but like
if somebody trying to swallow those little balls

702
00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:49.760
like oh I mean dude, yeah, I mean that'd be problematic. Um,

703
00:46:50.159 --> 00:46:52.639
but they were they had some weight
to them. And then you're you're

704
00:46:52.639 --> 00:46:59.719
basically just trying to knock the metal
balls with plastic shapes into your opponent's goal.

705
00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:02.159
Yeah, and you do it by
shooting this thing. Yeah, they

706
00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:07.079
that isn't The commercial makes it look
so much cooler than it actually is,

707
00:47:07.360 --> 00:47:10.440
right, it's all it's all essentially
doing just trying to knock this this little

708
00:47:10.840 --> 00:47:15.159
piece of into the other person's yeah
goal, essentially. Yeah, but it

709
00:47:15.239 --> 00:47:20.360
looks so cool. It was,
Yeah, it was it was cool.

710
00:47:20.760 --> 00:47:23.159
I mean it wasn't the worst game, right, right, but yeah,

711
00:47:23.199 --> 00:47:27.719
it certainly not the it was made
much more of Yeah. Yeah, but

712
00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:32.639
commercials back then so well done,
sold toys, I would say better than

713
00:47:32.679 --> 00:47:36.280
today. But literally every commercial that
pops on my daughter's like, I want

714
00:47:36.320 --> 00:47:38.920
that for my birthday, like your
birthdays, I'd a year awaiting, right,

715
00:47:39.400 --> 00:47:43.760
Okay, I want that for I
want that for Christmas? Wow?

716
00:47:43.880 --> 00:47:46.519
I see if you can never tell
you what you're getting for Christmas. I

717
00:47:46.559 --> 00:47:52.039
don't know what Sam is going to
bring, um so, but it's these

718
00:47:52.119 --> 00:47:57.400
commercials now they're not even good and
say kids see them and they go,

719
00:47:57.480 --> 00:47:59.159
I want it, I want it, I want it. Like but back

720
00:47:59.239 --> 00:48:02.679
then, like you felt like,
if I get this, playtime is going

721
00:48:02.760 --> 00:48:07.239
to be revolutionized forever. Yeah,
the last thing you'll ever want. I

722
00:48:07.280 --> 00:48:08.920
promise, if you just get me
this, I'll never want anything else the

723
00:48:08.960 --> 00:48:15.000
rest of my life. Like okay, last man, and I you say

724
00:48:15.079 --> 00:48:17.119
that, and I'm like, it's
so true. Kids are so silly.

725
00:48:17.440 --> 00:48:21.280
But that was us. That was
true. It was us, that was

726
00:48:21.280 --> 00:48:23.480
our mindset. Um man. I'm
sure there's a lot more to get to,

727
00:48:24.039 --> 00:48:28.199
but we were We're going on forty
eight minutes here. Yeah, I

728
00:48:28.320 --> 00:48:30.599
got mentioned this though. I don't
know if this is should be the grand

729
00:48:30.639 --> 00:48:34.119
finale, but it's gonna be.
It's it's gonna be. We can always

730
00:48:34.119 --> 00:48:39.679
do part due if we want.
Um. But Nickelodeon, ghack. That

731
00:48:39.840 --> 00:48:44.800
defined a generation. I think just
Nickelodeon in general, Like anything that came

732
00:48:44.840 --> 00:48:49.440
out of Nickelodeon that they put their
name on was instantaneous hit. It was

733
00:48:49.760 --> 00:48:53.119
especially that because slime, remember slime, like if you get slimed in that.

734
00:48:53.199 --> 00:48:57.280
It started with double Dare and then
it got into the other show with

735
00:48:57.320 --> 00:49:00.480
Summer Sanders that they did. It
was a slummer. Sander was um,

736
00:49:00.840 --> 00:49:02.320
figure it out, figure it out, and then would get slimed different like

737
00:49:02.599 --> 00:49:07.039
every once in a while we didn't
and it would just come down on somebody

738
00:49:07.119 --> 00:49:08.960
randomly. We didn't talk about this
in the Nickelodeon show, I'm pretty sure,

739
00:49:09.000 --> 00:49:13.320
which is unbelievable. I was left
off SpongeBob SquarePants from that, which,

740
00:49:13.440 --> 00:49:15.360
of course, and I guess that. Let me know, that's something

741
00:49:15.400 --> 00:49:20.039
else we're gonna talk about that we
can't do Nickelodeon part two. That's ridiculous.

742
00:49:22.800 --> 00:49:27.480
So yeah, so any any anything
Nickelodeon. So so there was that

743
00:49:28.800 --> 00:49:34.199
Jack, which was like slime kind
of um, it was slimy. But

744
00:49:34.400 --> 00:49:37.800
they also had floam, Yes,
I remember flowing floam was even cooler than

745
00:49:37.840 --> 00:49:42.760
ghack. But that was Nickelodeon.
Oh, I thought so maybe it was

746
00:49:43.519 --> 00:49:45.960
I thought for something. I thought
it was maybe I'm a different company.

747
00:49:45.039 --> 00:49:52.880
But oh flo They made floam shoes
too, didn't they? What? Oh

748
00:49:52.960 --> 00:49:58.559
you remember you remember those shoes?
Uh? Maybe Floam wasn't Nickelodeon. I

749
00:49:58.599 --> 00:50:00.159
don't. I don't think it was. I could be wrong, though.

750
00:50:00.199 --> 00:50:04.239
Maybe they put their name on it
eventually later on. Yeah, who knows.

751
00:50:04.400 --> 00:50:07.079
But remember those shoes that girls wore. Jellies, Yes, jellies,

752
00:50:07.239 --> 00:50:10.320
Oh so ugly. Why didn't even
call them jellies? I don't know,

753
00:50:10.400 --> 00:50:15.519
but they actually called jellies like you
thought they were. They were so weird,

754
00:50:15.599 --> 00:50:20.320
looking like those clear plastic sandal that
probably just destroyed their feet, glitters

755
00:50:20.360 --> 00:50:22.400
in it and think in it sometimes. I look at that now and I

756
00:50:22.480 --> 00:50:27.159
just go, that is just so
sweat factory. That was the Croc before

757
00:50:27.199 --> 00:50:30.840
the Croc, and they would wear
that in the playground. Oh yeah,

758
00:50:30.079 --> 00:50:34.159
terrible. I'm so glad we didn't
have to wear this. Yeah, but

759
00:50:34.280 --> 00:50:37.280
gack, I mean that was cool
because you can make it fart fart noises

760
00:50:37.320 --> 00:50:43.119
with it. You push into the
corner that was slime before, like slime

761
00:50:43.199 --> 00:50:45.480
now where you make your own slime. Oh yeah, oh you know what

762
00:50:45.639 --> 00:50:49.199
one. I feel like we need
to talk about it. This is how

763
00:50:49.239 --> 00:50:52.119
I'm gonna be. You gotta get
it in. This is this is gonna

764
00:50:52.119 --> 00:50:55.719
be lost forever. This episode.
I know, I know this is probably

765
00:50:55.800 --> 00:50:59.800
this is also probably not a grand
conclusion. But as as a kid,

766
00:51:00.119 --> 00:51:06.119
as a sports, just the vortex, the nerve vortex. It make you

767
00:51:06.159 --> 00:51:08.599
feel like you have to You didn't
have to worry about spiral because every time

768
00:51:08.599 --> 00:51:13.599
I threw it spiral exactly. I
was so bad at throwing a football that

769
00:51:13.679 --> 00:51:16.440
the vortex was so much fun.
And then I had like that that whistle.

770
00:51:19.320 --> 00:51:23.360
Yes, oh it's so cool.
He could hear you go for a

771
00:51:23.440 --> 00:51:27.920
long pass and everybody could be anybody
could be a QB. You'd throw it

772
00:51:28.000 --> 00:51:30.360
at your friend not paying attention to
pop them in the head, but it

773
00:51:30.400 --> 00:51:34.800
didn't hurt because it was nerve,
right exactly. Nerve was so good back

774
00:51:34.880 --> 00:51:37.800
then. Yeah, we could.
We could talk about that too, because

775
00:51:37.199 --> 00:51:42.039
nerve still exists now and they have
all these mechanized things. Yes, but

776
00:51:42.639 --> 00:51:47.480
you had there was the cousin Jimmy
again had the three ball blaster that rotated

777
00:51:47.519 --> 00:51:53.000
and shot the fairly hard foam balls
at you. Yeah, and then I

778
00:51:53.119 --> 00:51:59.719
also had a at like a bow
and arrow with the big dart shot one

779
00:52:00.599 --> 00:52:07.639
giant was fun. It was so
good. Um, we could we could

780
00:52:07.679 --> 00:52:10.719
talk about this for for hours,
for days and hours. Um, nostalgia

781
00:52:10.800 --> 00:52:15.440
is fun, but unfortunately, come
to our conclusions, it has to come

782
00:52:15.480 --> 00:52:20.199
to an end. Yeah, must, So what we would like you to

783
00:52:20.280 --> 00:52:25.320
do is if we forgot something,
we want to know about it because we

784
00:52:25.440 --> 00:52:29.079
want to live in the nostalgia.
Yeah, we love it. That's our

785
00:52:29.159 --> 00:52:31.639
favorite thing, a society's favorite thing. That's why we will never have a

786
00:52:31.719 --> 00:52:36.800
new movie come out ever again.
Um. Super Mario Brothers movie was a

787
00:52:36.880 --> 00:52:39.119
nostalgia fest that was great. Um, well done. So if there's a

788
00:52:39.159 --> 00:52:43.440
