Today.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's the weekend, and so we so appreciate that. Of course,
we're just gonna get right into it today. This is
a game that pits the generations against each other.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
I'm the old one in the room. Yeah, versus every
room bro when I volunteer at the Senior Center, it's
really nice.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Yeah yeah, versus our gen Z or Alexis.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Yeah. I said it in such a negative way, but
I actually love gen Z. I think gen Z is
like such a rad generation. I do. I think they're great.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Okay, but today we're going to see how much they know.
That's the whole point about. Basically, the nineties is really
where my wheelhouse lies.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Yeah, is.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
And we're going to get to the first question, which
I'm so excited about. Really, yes, because a very famous
actor was once a contestant on The Price is Right. Okay, now,
technically his episode aired January third of two thousand, but I'm.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Just stealing it for the nineties, okay, because it's that good.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
He was only twenty years old, and he was very
excited to be on the show.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Oh my god, Yes, he was so excited because you
just heard a twenty year old Aaron Paul of breaking
bad fame. I was trying to think what the voice was,
and it was, of course in the heyday of Prices,
(01:33):
right when Bob Barker was reigning Supreme Okay, okay, So
here's the thing about Aaron Paul. Even though he sounded really,
really really overly excited to be on the show, he
actually wasn't surprised that he was a contestant, because he
said later that he had a trick to get the
producers to pick him during the pre show interview.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yeah, thank you. If you don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
On the Price is Right, you go and you get
a ticket to be on the show, and then they
do a quick, like thirty second pre show interview and
that's how they pick which contestants they want because you
have to.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Be a part of it. Yes, you have an auditioned. Yeah,
but they didn't pick me, sad, I didn't know. I
didn't know Aaron Paul's trick.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Okay, Alexis I need you to tell me what did
he do to ensure his spot on the show?
Speaker 1 (02:20):
And I'm going to give you multiple choices. Yes, that's fun.
Did he ate drink.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Six cans of Red Bull because he knew they wanted
people with energy. It shows in that cliff did he
be We're a banana costume so he would stand out?
Or see did he slip the producer fifty bucks in
order to get his name.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
In then with inflation? Yeah, that was like a thousand bucks.
H what do you think, Alexi? You know what I
thought you're gonna say.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
I've listened to some reality TV stars behind the scenes,
and some of them get on by showing up to
the interviews like naked or in their boxers, like it
seemed crazy about you.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
So you gave that, Jimmy, guess that's where I'd been wrong.
So I'm glad to give you. Want to work with
Bob Barkers, get your pet Spader banana costume.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
I mean it's so simple, but I feel like we've
seen so many times a banana costume goes so far,
Like you can wear them in fun runs, people wear
them to bars, people wear banana costume.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
And they get attention even though it's so simple.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Yeah, I'm just torn if Red Bull's too easy because
he is screaming in it, or if I go banana.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
I'm so torn.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Let's go banana.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
No, No, he drank the red blood. He admits rewatching
the episode. Later, he says he looked like he was
on quote some serious crack. Listen to him. Listen later
in the show Barker, He's just screaming, I'm touching Bob Barker.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
I'm touching Bob Barker or not. Aaron hal made it
all the way to the showcase showdown. What Yes, yes, yes,
it was versus this woman.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Okay, and he almost won a sports car but he
overbid by.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Only one hundred and thirty two dollars.

Oh they were like us one time.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Oh yeah, for sure. Was a good job, Alexa.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
I should have got that, now that I think about it,
if someone chucked three red bulls in front of me,
I'd be like you oh.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Six, you know he said it was very unhealthy. Yeah,
and he couldn't sit still. Yeah for art.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Okay, Next, we're going to someone totally opposite than Aaron
Paul Tony Braxton. She took over the nineties R and
B scene with her of course, nineteen ninety six hit
Unbreak My Heart a game.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
She was like the queen.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Okay, okay, she sold over seventy million records worldwide. She's
one of the best selling female artists in history. She
since then competed and dancing with the stars. She has
her own reality show, The Braxton Family Values. But my question, Alexis,
isn't about all these boring facts? Okay, snoozefests. She gave
(05:12):
an interview to US Weekly and she listed twenty five
things people don't know about her.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Okay, yes, that's a lot of things.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
So I have part of the list in front of me.
But some of these I made up. All right, So
we're gonna go kind of rapid fire here. Okay, I'm
gonna read them off, and all you have to do
is tell me so Tony or no Nony.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Okay, so Tony, no yep.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Okay, here we go from Tony Braxton's list.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
I love men who wear sandals. Oh no, Tony, No,
that was so Tony. Really, she likes to see their toes.
That's bold. Okay. I want a thumb wrestling World competition.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Oh, so, Tony, dang it, I'm bad.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
I put mayonnaise on practically everything. Ew so, Tony Y,
she like sandal shakes, mayonnaise's spinning. Okay, I think Danny
DeVito is sexy.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
So I'm gonna go so Tony on the street.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
You my most prized possession is my stamp collection.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Oh no, no, that's a book thing. What it's real? No, No,
I got it right. That's so brook That is me.
I eat pancakes when I get upset. Uh, so, Tony,
why not? Okay?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
That is that she said that I hate when people
talk to me with the foam in the corners of
their mouth.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
It is I'm saying, no, Nony, I wouldn't think that
would bother her with her streak.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
It really bothered her a lot. And she eats a
lot of mayonnaise, but she's the foam, so go figure. Lookay,
we all learned a little bit more about Tony Broxton.
Just know. Yeah, she's so excited. I'll let everyone I know. Yeah,
it is gross. The phone is gross, gross mayonnaise. I
love manaise. I feel at least.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
We all loved we could agree very sexy in a
sandals here.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
All right, we're on to our.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Last and final question. Alexis Okay, I know already, Oh
but I started crying all about one of the most
famously failed marketing campaigns of all time. Okay, it was
launched by the vacuum company Hoover. You know Hoover is Yes, okay.
So they decided to boost sales, and this is in
nineteen ninety two, and their big idea is that they
(07:26):
would offer people something for free if they just spent
one hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Or more on a vacuum. All right, okay. However, they
didn't plan for such a high demand and the whole
thing backfired.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I mean I saw tons of different estimations, but I
think they lost around one hundred million dollars on this.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Oh god.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
It led to customer protests. There were lawsuits, multiple of them.
Several executives got canned because of it. Alexis, can you
tell me what they gave customers for free?
Speaker 1 (07:59):
And I will give you multiple choices? Yes, oh, I
know you, I know what you need? Thank you? Okay.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Did they offer to pay electricity bills for an entire year?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Oh wow? That's so.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Did they be offer two international airline tickets? Or did
they see offer the chance to be a Hoover girl
in their new commercials.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
A Hoover girl. How proud must you be? Yeah? Making
vacuum sexy? You know? Okay?
Speaker 4 (08:27):
If you're losing that much money. I love the Hoover
girl idea, but I don't know if you're losing. I mean,
I guess you're losing if you pay for their hair
and makeup and stuff. But at some point you could
just start putting people in looking like whatever and have.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Them do something on TV.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Yeah, electricity just makes the most sense to buy a vacuum.
You use electricity, We're going to cover it, which is
also I would buy. So I would tell all my
friends to do that. If you got your electricity, paid
for it for a year, Yeah, it's a good deal.
And then they would lose all their money.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
So I'm going that one. I'm sorry. All right, listen
to what the campaign was.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
We'll give you two return flights each to the Rohme Vienna,
Sierra Nevada, the Canary Islands, Munich, or the cost of
El Saul.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Oh my god, unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Wait what they offered two international round trip tickets and
it was actually for UK residents, And they were giving
people tickets to fly all the way to the United
States and all that.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
They go so hard.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
They didn't need to do that, seriously, but so here
was their plan.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
They were going to make the paperwork really hard.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
To fill out, so they're like, we're only gonna get
like fifty thousand people that actually followed through on this
maybe work exactly. Instead, they got three hundred thousand people
did the paperwork, which meant they owed six hundred thousand
plane tickets.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
That is why, Oh my god, they.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Only fulfilled like I think two hundred thousand plane tickets.
And then the like travel agency that they like worked with,
Whent defunctd because of it.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
It was it.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Was such a hot mess that the BBC made a
whole documentary about it.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
This is amazing. I want to watch that documentary.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
I think the documentaries in like two thousand in fourteen,
okay when it came out Flix. I don't know if
it's on Netflix, but look up Hoover and you will find.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
It Hover in Flight. It's yep. I would to see
Hoover girl. Yeah, I really have stuff.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
