Jeff, powered by three Red Bulls and a questionable sense of purpose, drags Chris into a deep dive on 70s/80s TV — an era when undercover cops thought driving a bright red muscle car or a jet-black van with a giant red stripe was the pinnacleof subtlety.
They take no prisoners as they rip apart:
Cracker Jack prizes devolving from actual metal toys to “here’s a paper cutout, go cry in the corner.”
The psychic fish that was really just heat-sensitive plastic scamming your sweaty palm.
Stretch Armstrong, a nightmare blob of corn syrup in a Speedo, proving that kids will worship anything if you market it with enough commercials.
They sort of attempt to discuss buddy shows and mismatched TV duos, but get gleefully derailed by rants on Knight Rider’s condescending talking car, Miami Vice’s ridiculous “undercover” fashion choices, and why every 80s action crew apparently included a helicopter and a token ex-Vietnam vet.
