Sage (02:09):
telling you. Oh mama, tell my mom I'm gonna call your mom
call my mom. You so bad. You sobad. You just mad that you want
my dad to step down?

Genesis (02:18):
How does that dance go?

Sage (02:19):
You did the whole music video.

Genesis (02:22):
I'm gonna have to look this one up. Hey, did

Rick (02:25):
you guys see the picture of the new Addams Family from
Netflix? Oh, Wednesday. Yeah,dog Catherine Zeta Jones. My
guy.

Sage (02:34):
Nope. I'm sorry. Christina Ricci I going?

Genesis (02:40):
Like kind of brought her back. Right? She ain't doing
nothing these days. Althoughshe's probably

Sage (02:44):
she don't know. She don't a lot of indie stuff.

Rick (02:47):
Okay, you gotta be old though.

Sage (02:49):
She's still looking at him. Yeah, she

Genesis (02:51):
was definitely a crush of mine growing up with
Kimberly.

Sage (02:55):
I couldn't tell. And to be fair, I wasn't looking as a kid.
But I guess I think it was Adamsfamily too. They had to start
taping down her boobs becausethey got super big. I don't know
where.

Genesis (03:10):
Jesus. I went on my very first date as a little tiny
taken to see that movie in thetheater with my neighbor, Emma
Hershberger.

Sage (03:21):
I'm sorry, that was her last name. But is that a Jewish
last name?

Genesis (03:29):
It sounds like it.

Sage (03:31):
But doesn't that go against your ideology?

Genesis (03:33):
That's not my ideology at all. I have no problems with
Jewish people. Just Nick Krolland his stupid face.

Rick (03:43):
And everyone who shares his religion

Genesis (03:49):
Oh God that's that's not true. That's I don't get
what did this evening. You watchfucking your mom's house way too
much.

Sage (03:58):
Is that on? Pornhub? Your mom's house? Whoa. I mean, why
the house?

Rick (04:07):
A lot. First of all, it's a good show. Okay. Second of
all, you should just stop sayingfoul shit.

Genesis (04:17):
I would argue that you say way more follow suit than

Rick (04:20):
I did. And not true at all. Yeah, I don't say anything.
I'm just

Genesis (04:23):
as if there's like a chicken living in your mouth.
That's how much foulness is inyour mouth. Get it? Okay.

Sage (04:32):
It took me a hot little thing. I was like, Okay.

Genesis (04:38):
I just came up with that too. That's how good I am.
Oh, look at you.

Sage (04:42):
To be fair, nobody said it was a good comment.

Rick (04:44):
Yeah.

Genesis (04:48):
I mean, it sounded like a prop. Didn't it? I took it as
that and my reality will nowobserve it as such. You Just
foreign

Rick (05:01):
oil was it. Oh, that wasn't you? That wasn't real.

Sage (05:05):
That shifted in my chair.
Oh

Genesis (05:12):
you got bubble guts.

Sage (05:14):
I need to tighten up this arm.

Rick (05:18):
Yeah, it's a now okay.
Funny thing you brought upbubble goods. The next topic
should be crazy shit stories.

Genesis (05:28):
I don't know if I want to go down that route.

Rick (05:32):
I know you have some water.

Genesis (05:34):
You want to do a whole story about poo?

Rick (05:38):
I just want to hear your story. I know you know, I got
some I got

Sage (05:43):
I don't have any. I haven't shaved your pants. No,
never. No number. You drink youdon't have that one tells you I
used to practice holding my

Genesis (05:55):
Yeah, but like practice means you probably failed a
couple times you're no no gofrom like practice to perfect
and one session.

Rick (06:03):
Now he's probably one of those guys. It's like I'm in
perfect sync with my body. Iknow how to control my I don't
even fart in my clothes.

Sage (06:14):
Never had it never had answered it. Not

Rick (06:18):
not not even a little slippage. Not 12 years old. You
just you're running to get homefrom the bus and

Sage (06:24):
I lived across the street.

Genesis (06:26):
I was the last stop on the bus man. There was a lot of
close calls and some calls thatwere taken.

Rick (06:36):
Did you ever have an accident where you blame someone
else? No, I definitely did see.

Sage (06:46):
I've never had an accident because I had a mental block
which were taking a shit inpublic. So I would only shit at
my house.

Genesis (06:53):
I didn't do but that's what led to a lot of these
problems.

Rick (06:55):
Did you? Did you think you could get crabs on public toilet
seats? Do you remember when thatwas a thing? People actually
thought you can get crabs fromtoilet seats.

Sage (07:07):
To be honest, I didn't get over that whole mental block
until I started working at at&t.

Genesis (07:12):
It took me a while to get over that to

Rick (07:15):
try my hardest not use public toilets. I mean whatever
but

Sage (07:18):
not now. Oh yeah, dude, I'm using public toilets left
and right. Yeah, he's

Genesis (07:22):
got crabs, especially

Sage (07:25):
if I could if I could almost exclusively take dumps at
work I would

Genesis (07:29):
shut down the company time right yeah

Rick (07:36):
I mean, I get it though.
You got to do what you got todo.

Genesis (07:40):
portable potty that he brings everywhere but will a day
Hiccup and,

Sage (07:45):
but it has to be like the actual isolated bathroom. I'm
not it can't be like an openbathroom with stalls and

Genesis (07:52):
shit. I don't do like the dueling farts like on Family
Guy.

Sage (07:55):
I can't I can't take you know when somebody's sitting
right next to me also takingshit.

Genesis (08:01):
This smells just come by into like some regular
explosion.

Rick (08:06):
Well, at the shop, there's two bathrooms and you know,
they're separate bathrooms. Soit's just the one toilet seat in
there. It's always around thesame time period where if you go
in the shop between maybe 12 Andtwo, the bathrooms are always
locked down for the two hours.
There's always someone in thosebathroom for two hours.

Genesis (08:25):
Two hours to

Sage (08:27):
question. Have you ever went into what like you really
had to take your shit so youwent into one but somebody's
just walking out? And you hitthat wall to fuck like nah,
wait.

Genesis (08:38):
No. Something built into us that like we can't smell
our own. But you could likesomebody else's is just fucking

Rick (08:46):
rose Nika smell mine if his gnarly enough. Yeah, for
sure.

Sage (08:50):
About the smell was like okay, do we just touching all
this shit? His answers just heara lot of things into it. And I'm
just like, Nah,

Rick (08:58):
like, have you guys ever had one where just you could
feel in your stomach that youjust know it's gonna be death
when it comes out. I know you Iknow. You have just shut the
fuck up. Craig this is what yousay. Because I didn't know you

Genesis (09:15):
know what I don't preemptively know that it's
gonna be a fucking disaster.

Rick (09:20):
No, I I know when I use I can feel it in my stomach that
the toilet is gonna be blackwhen I'm done. I haven't done
that in years. But yeah, when Iwas

Genesis (09:34):
in my early 20s Let spec blood splatter expert but
for poo dude in

Rick (09:39):
my early 20 like 2122 There were days where I thought
for sure I needed to go in witha Bible. And just like pray over
the

Genesis (09:48):
toilet seat like all you all you eat is Fig Newtons
and oatmeal raisin cookies.

Rick (09:53):
A Oh, I got my oldest to like oatmeal raisin cookie.

Genesis (09:57):
He's called DCFS Yay.

Rick (10:02):
Now we just got to work on violet. Anyways.

Sage (10:07):
Almost 10 minutes

Genesis (10:11):
that's true. This is not the pool episode.

Rick (10:15):
How do we organically move into the topic? I was thinking
like maybe someone will just saysomething that I can.

Genesis (10:23):
I mean, I can't like I actually have something to talk
about about bringing it up in alittle bit. But first, what were
the Haven exchange podcast? Myname is Genesis one of the girls
here bringing you weeklyshenanigans. What do I got?
What's me tonight?

Rick (10:41):
Yo, what's going on everybody? He's cool. Blue
Ranger Ranger. That's funny.

Genesis (10:49):
He's my number two.

Rick (10:51):
Oh, my goodness. I don't I don't want that to be associated
with the

Sage (10:58):
wrong and racist. Whites.

Rick (11:03):
Yeah, I'm your little brown kid. Is that what you're
trying to say?

Genesis (11:07):
I wish I would have thought of that. That's pretty
good. That's a gold nugget. Youdid there. Yeah. Oh, my
goodness. Who else we got

Sage (11:19):
the only sensible person on here? Yeah, okay.

Genesis (11:24):
He's got a fucking monk like sphincter. What the hell
does that mean? It means youlike
Oh that would mean it's superclean, which probably it is. I'm
going to assume as such atleast,

Rick (11:42):
you know, nevermind. No.
Yeah.

Genesis (11:45):
That was that was that was that. Going? Anyways, today,
we got a fun little episodehere. I wanted to take us back
down a little nostalgia trip andgo over, you know, some of the
toys that made us as we grew upas kids, Rick, you have

(12:06):
children, a lot of our friendsare starting to have kids. And
I'm hearing a lot of thesestories of like what your kids
are playing with. Rick, you toldme the other day, how your
daughter was on a walkie talkiewith a friend left block, right?
Yeah,

Rick (12:19):
yeah, they got a couple of walkie talkies and they're just
having a good time with it. ButI think that is largely inspired
by Stranger Things. I thinkthat's where they got the
initial idea from are theyplotting your demise? They might
be very welcoming very well no,because the code is the one that
uses the walkie and she I don'tthink whatever hurt me violent

(12:41):
is the one that I'm almostpositive is going to be a little
Jeffrey Dahmer when she's older.
You know, I mean, that's

Genesis (12:48):
on record. So the as we edit that, this is going to be
part of the Netflix documentaryI killed my dad was coming. They
just zoom in on her face andthis Okay, anyways, so that got
me thinking because I was like,that's super cool. I wish I
would have had that, you know,as a kid. You know, I grew up we

(13:11):
had like the three kind ofblocks in the middle of nowhere.
And we're friends across allthree streets. And that would
have been cool to have likelittle walkie talkie, you know,
before we got cell phones andshit. But like kids these days,
they have it pretty good. And soit got me thinking, you know,
what did we grow up on and whatwas our toys? And so I wanted to
go over and let's just take atrip back. Look at some old toy

(13:35):
commercials. See what we playedwith C woods. You know, we
wanted but never got, you know,there's so many things that came
out in specific. I mean, we grewup in the 90s early 2000s I
guess we were we could have beenstill playing with toys. But was
your guys's childhood filledwith lots of toys? Was this
something that was a part ofyour thing as every other kid?

Sage (13:56):
I had dirt.

Rick (13:58):
I mean yeah, I had toys growing up but I more had action
figures. Goku action figuresMegaman she like

Genesis (14:11):
oh, yeah, Mega Man.

Rick (14:12):
Yeah, Mega Man and not zeros, Proto Man. Action
Figures. And that was just Anddid you mon figures to

Sage (14:21):
be honest. I honestly really didn't have any toys
growing up. Because I was neverin the house.

Rick (14:26):
Or Huckleberry Finn over here. I refuse to believe that
you didn't have

Sage (14:33):
no, that's it. I didn't really I mean, I had like a
supersoaker here and there. Thatwas about it. I was out. I was
always out of

Genesis (14:40):
the house. For Christmas.

Sage (14:43):
I got fucking Hooked on Phonics one year that pissed me
off not in

Rick (14:53):
the list of trauma for this

Sage (14:56):
keyboard and mostly video

Genesis (15:00):
Game ship and close them so me too. Yeah,

Sage (15:03):
I constantly got video game stuff. I've always been
again.

Rick (15:06):
Were you asking for toys for Christmas? Or were you
asking it for video games theywere giving you what you were
asking for.

Sage (15:12):
Yeah, most mostly video games stuff. If anything, the
only toy that I've maybe askedfor for Christmas and still
never got mom is I forget thename of those things. It was
like creepy crawlers. Yeah, thelittle

Genesis (15:29):
sir,

Rick (15:30):
I remember when my parents bought me the Voltron action
figures where you know theseparate lines that connected
into one.

Genesis (15:37):
Now I was gonna say the theme song within I was singing
a different No,

Sage (15:40):
I just remember I take that back. I also never get the
fucking Dragonzord flute. Oh,

Genesis (15:46):
I had one of those. Did you? Yeah, I don't think at it
at a thrift store.

Rick (15:51):
I don't think I ever had one.

Genesis (15:52):
I'm not gonna lie.
stolen from me.

Sage (15:54):
If I find it nasty.

Genesis (15:56):
Yeah, put it on a fuck.
Like mantle. No.

Rick (16:00):
Walk around my house, isn't it? I actually had the Red
Rangers dragon Megazord thinguntil my cousin decided to steal
it one day. And this was backwhen we lived in the heights and
that asshole lived in Nebraska.
So he stolen went back toNebraska. Chris, if you're
listening to this, I haven'tforgotten. It's still back. I'm
still super busy.

Genesis (16:24):
You were the youngest right? No,

Rick (16:26):
I was the middle child. I had a sister two years younger.

Genesis (16:31):
Oh, your brother was older. Yeah,

Rick (16:33):
my brother. He was the one that was really into toys. And
he was super into Star Wars. Iremember this dickhead had a
giant Millennium Falcon toy. Andhe was adamant about not never
letting me touch it. And thenwhen I heard that asshole was
joining the army, I was like,Yeah, you fucked up. Now. I'm

(16:53):
playing with this shit all day.
And you the pieces of shit tookit with him. I mean, this thing
was huge.

Genesis (17:04):
And but it's worth money. I think he

Rick (17:07):
said he lost it or something. I think he said he
didn't have I know he didn'thave it anymore.

Sage (17:13):
I remember the one thing I really wanted. I don't know if
y'all remember this. So it was acontroller designed for fighting
games. So it was like a littlecircle that laid on the ground.
And you were like in the middleof it. And if you like punch for
your character punch. And if youpunch back or kick back your

(17:33):
character kicked into like

Genesis (17:34):
that, like the NES trackpad kinda. No, no, no,
you're mad? No, because it

Sage (17:40):
was like like, it was like lasers or lights or whatever
that bounced off the bounce offthe ceiling. So you have to like
break. Break that connection.

Genesis (17:47):
Oh, I see what you're saying. No, I don't think Wait a
minute. I don't know. Like ifyou're just implanting the
memory. No, no, no, actuallyremember? remembering it. I

Sage (17:57):
remember this stupid thing I can't remember name of.

Genesis (18:00):
Yeah, that's I don't know. Oh, man. That kind of
sounds familiar when you explainit that way. I don't think I've
ever had one though. But I knowI'm pretty sure I've seen a
commercial for it. And that'sthe thing to say is that because
you grew up on like cartoons atleast so you probably would be
familiar with a lot of thesecommercials. We're gonna be
looking at least I would hopeso. Cuz you watch Saturday

(18:20):
morning cartoons, right? Yeah.

Sage (18:25):
The Hammerhead show.

Genesis (18:29):
Like pick a wide gamut of commercials stuff that I
remembered and stuff that werejust on Saturday, like top lists
and with the host that maybe youguys knew him, but so yeah,
we'll see where this kind oftakes us trip down memory lane.
And for anybody that was born inlike 2005 and listening to this,
sorry, we're gonna be old folkstoday.

Rick (18:53):
You know? Yeah, we gotta be old sometime. You know,
although I would like to recordthis show. I'm younger than
YouTube.

Genesis (19:02):
It was. Yeah, so some of the early 90s

Rick (19:09):
still younger though. Do you have stuff from the 70s? You

Genesis (19:13):
know, I just took it from the toys that made us

Sage (19:17):
go outside and pick up a Rhino Rack was the fact that
that actually took off isridiculous.

Genesis (19:27):
That is genius. How's it genius? The guide sold a
fucking rock. That's genius. Andit worked.

Sage (19:37):
is a genius or people just stupid.

Genesis (19:39):
I mean, he can make arguments on either side.

Rick (19:43):
Yeah, you could definitely

Genesis (19:47):
well, starting this up

Rick (19:49):
on a bad start. I don't know what the fuck this is.

Genesis (19:53):
So I got the video playing. They can see this but
you guys will just be able tohear it. All our listeners here.
Here We go

Sage (20:09):
I forgot about this stupid day

Genesis (20:12):
trying to get a handle on the general wacky array from
hurtle remember that thing,

Sage (20:36):
right? Do you remember it?
I think like a cousin or mine orsomething, had it, but I
remember playing with it.

Genesis (20:42):
Yeah, for sure. These are at least still exists to
this day, by the way. And thiswas definitely something I had
as a kid. So for those that arelistening didn't recognize that
this was basically a motorizedball. It had little pegs around
it and it just fucking like,just moved around the floor. How
exciting. Is this shit that I'mtalking about? The kids these

(21:03):
days don't not know the toysthat we had as a kid. We had a
fucking little motorized ballthat rumbled across the ground.
Found it. You have one?

Sage (21:14):
No, no, no, no. The thing I was talking about a founding
is called the Sega activator.

Genesis (21:21):
The Sega activate. Oh, so specifically for the Sega

Sage (21:25):
Yeah, and they got voted one of the worst controllers of
all time. So maybe it's good. Ididn't get it. Maybe.

Genesis (21:34):
Let's see. Oh, this looks like the modern day like
VR trackpads they're like yousee concept art.

Sage (21:42):
Yeah, I used to want to use these all the time. I want
to I wanted to show that.

Genesis (21:47):
But you never had it.
Nope. And I would like to findone of these. I don't think this
was not what I was thinking ofat all. So like I didn't even
know this existed. That's prettysick.

Rick (21:59):
A month ago on eBay right now. Who's selling this? Uh huh.
There is one person only sellingthere's one guy. He was $120
with $70 shipping. That's notbad. I'd buy it 200 I wouldn't

(22:20):
have picked it.

Sage (22:20):
I mean, then you got to turn around and buy something
things

Rick (22:27):
it comes with the original box. It does come with my The
next item on the list here. Ihad this and I fucking love
these things. You got

Sage (22:38):
to rub it in after I just said I've never

Genesis (22:44):
I'm glad I didn't jump on that train because I too
really loved this one righthere. You can leave it

Unknown (22:51):
on so creeping and crawling
it's the creepy crawlers tocreate a creepy

Rick (23:02):
with that you can turn.
Yeah, they did.

Genesis (23:17):
I mean, this is just one of the many like creepy
crawlers was a brand thatspanned much of my childhood.

Sage (23:23):
They cartoon.

Genesis (23:26):
Oh, do they remember that?

Rick (23:29):
There's actually a fair amount of creepy crawlers still
available to purchase on eBay.
expensive at all.

Genesis (23:35):
As many birthday parties you go to are you? Are
you seeing somebody? Becauselike, I don't think you would
buy creepy collars for yourkids. But maybe for like
birthday parties. Are you seeingthese things when you're in?
Shit? There's not even Toys R Usis where do you go to buy

Sage (23:49):
iPad?

Rick (23:54):
When we go to kids birthday parties, it's nothing
but girls. My family has beentaken over by URLs. So in my
family, it's just Barbies andstuff like that. I don't I don't
see anything like this.

Sage (24:06):
My sister had like the Barbie Dream House. I destroyed
it.

Genesis (24:11):
I don't blame you.

Rick (24:13):
I don't I feel like it just so I'm sure she's the one
that threw the brick at youright? Yep. Okay, yeah, so she
it should be on site with herfor the rest of your life.

Genesis (24:26):
But this is the creepy crawlers. This is exactly what I
was gonna say when you knowconnection to the poo topic. It
was that like a lot of the toysin the 90s were just all about
like being gross and gross andpeople out a lot of the
commercials are roasting outformal functions or your parents
and farts and burps and puke andslime. And on the girls side of

(24:49):
thing. It was just all aboutlike what dollars and sleepovers
taking care of dollars. Going tothe mall. There was a board game
about going to the mall. It's onmy list. It's All right, we'll
get to it. And you probablyremember the commercials so a
lot of the ones that I pulledfrom some of these was just
mainly because I remember thesong The jingle was so fucking

(25:12):
catchy. I mean, we all remembergreevey gras.

Sage (25:17):
Let's meet let's be honest, after the 90s we're
gonna add companies just thatcare. Because now you can just
add companies jingles in the 90sand can't TV intros slept for no
goddamn reason.

Genesis (25:32):
There's the show on Netflix the toys that made us I
would definitely recommendchecking that out as well
because they go into a lot aboutwhere these toys originated from
and like the connection betweenthe cartoons and like, what
their strategies were going intosome of the I feel

Sage (25:48):
like I feel like we're gonna put a ban on certain
things because as much as hebrings up Kojima, you bring up
this damn Netflix show. Almostevery fucking

Genesis (25:56):
mean just. Well, there's two series there's the
movies that made us that's theone I've talked about mostly.
And then there's the toys thatmade us just go watch it. Don't
you? Even like the Barbieepisode you didn't fuck with
Barbies, but I was intriguedwatching a Barbie episode on how
the BBS came out a little bit

Rick (26:17):
was not expected man

Genesis (26:21):
I'll take it I'll take that one because last episode I
think I called you a bitch. Sowe're even now you guys remember
this

Unknown (26:32):
sometime in the future?
The ultimate

Sage (26:37):
This is a perfect example of the things aren't going hard
for no reasonif you've played this game never

(27:01):
once has it felt like that

Genesis (27:06):
super underwhelming but this is one of the hottest
fucking commercials of mychildhood.

Sage (27:12):
Like it just it just went hard for no reason.

Genesis (27:14):
So this was just like a two player board game basically
like a pinball battle againsteach

Unknown (27:24):
Krause five

Sage (27:26):
and it's not even crossfire that using the word
wrong. We mean crossfire let'ssay that the Crossfire is the
firefight

Genesis (27:41):
I never thought of it that way. That's hilarious. Did

Sage (31:52):
One day heartland. The movie was on TV. I think like

Genesis (31:59):
Did you guys have in school where they gave you like
this checklist of books. And youwould bring it home you would
check off books that you wouldorder basically like a Girl
Scout Cookie kind of thing. Andyour parents will give you money

Not a checklist. It was more of a we got points for
reading books. Yeah, that's thereason I really started reading
fear streets. Because by thatpoint, I wasn't really into
reading anymore. But fear streetpulled me back in I remember I
stayed up super late till liketwo in the morning, started the

months, and they had everyepisode.

Rick (34:37):

Sage (34:40):
If you go back and watch it, it's so many mega stars all

I love the vibe a bunch of

Genesis (35:15):
like are these these can't be rare. These are hard to
find to find like D so copy.
Like if I set up a library andlike a study room or something.
I want a shelf of goosebumpbooks on that.

Sage (35:27):
I'm sorry. Monster blood was great. Yeah. But as many
goosebumps books and or episodesthat I enjoyed. Are you afraid
of the tale of the ghastlygardener? Hands out?

Genesis (35:44):
Yeah, but there's something about the books
themselves though. Like, like, Ican remember the covers through
thinly line narratives of whatthey actually were about. Like,
I don't remember much of him. Ijust kind of remember him. Yeah,
I was on a TV show.

Sage (35:58):
I remember TV show. I used to watch a TV show every every
Tuesday or something like that.
No, it was every Wednesday everyWednesday. But are you afraid to
tell ghastly Brenner? That wasback when I was still kind of
afraid of clowns. Only kinda

Rick (36:16):
do. I'm looking at so many books, Night of the Living dummy
three. I remember looking atthat picture for days. And I
would like to point out that itis a miracle. I got to read
these books, considering how Ohyeah, I remember having these
and not being afraid to have inthe house or anything like that.

(36:37):
And I think she didn't carebecause I think she didn't have
a problem with scary shit. Itwas just when it was overly
demonic. Right right. Butthere's like demons and evil is
in the title.

Genesis (36:48):
Look at the cover of that book. Nine living dummy.
No, I

Rick (36:51):
mean, she probably did but no, it's just weird dummies.

Sage (36:54):
Okay, because it was geared towards kids like it was
dark, but it wasn't you know,super dark.

Rick (36:59):
The horror, right? Yep, Jelly Joe. Dude, I remember

Genesis (37:04):
I had a ventriloquist doll that looks that is almost
identical

Rick (37:12):
ventriloquist let's say cheese and die again. Okay, I
has

Genesis (37:16):
a doll that look just like that motherfucker. Your
skin. I would keep it in thetrunk. Like I couldn't even like
have it out

Sage (37:22):
in the trunk. Like of the car. Okay. Oh, that's okay.
Strong. Okay, I'm making surehow old were you?

Genesis (37:32):
Probably like 14 Maybe

Rick (37:34):
the memories of reading these books is hit me hard dude.
I'm not the bio fuckingautonomies

Sage (37:42):
he's in. He's gonna start reading like this shit stupid.

Rick (37:48):
I want to start reading I will read them first before I
get into the code.

Genesis (37:53):
I'm gonna slowly give her her Yeah, well, you should
read them together. That'd becute. You know? Yeah, that's
actually

Rick (37:58):
that's actually not a bad look at this guy. Help me
father.

Genesis (38:04):
I'm gonna be a good daddy.

Rick (38:06):
He's made it You didn't have to say Daddy You can just
say daddy. Daddy just anyway,what's the next one Father?

Genesis (38:17):
Here's the next one guys remember this

Sage (38:21):
the craziest of you remember it?

Unknown (38:44):
Nickelodeon flow comes in six colors each sold
separately clumps shape are soldseparately from Mattel

Sage (38:49):
what came up first and didn't didn't sell for more.
GECK is one of them. They werejust like this one.

Genesis (39:00):
If I had to guess I would say flown came out first.
Even though they're bothsupported by Nickelodeon. I feel
like GAC wasn't an initial thingon Nickelodeon feel like that
was midway through myNickelodeon experiences but I
don't know that for sure. phloemso phloem and for those that
don't know, almost like thisweird Styrofoam me wasn't really

(39:23):
gel it was what it was likewasn't didn't have like a
Styrofoam ish texture to likebumpy texture that you could
like mold into a bunch ofdifferent shapes and do weird
things with it. And if Iremember that should never
expired. I remember like goingbad,

Sage (39:39):
like cancer that you could play with.

Genesis (39:41):
It was like cancer you could play with Yeah, I'm pretty
sure it cause cancer is no way.
No way didn't. Like, well, howdo you know if cancer feels
like? Yeah, I mean, I'm surethere was some of these toys
probably had some chemicals outof them or something that
weren't Good for us.

Rick (40:01):
What do you eat? Ice Cream Bar? Look at this guy shoving
the whole thing. But yes, I didhave foam. I don't think I ever
really kind of got too crazywith any of the what do they
call it now slime? Like yeah, Inever really got too much into
that stuff. I definitely hadflown though. I just I don't

(40:25):
think I care for too long aboutit.

Genesis (40:27):
This feels like something that probably still
exist I don't see this likegoing away if this could span
multiple generations.

Rick (40:34):
Yeah, it they probably have it the same thing. It's
probably just not call flowinganymore.

Sage (40:39):
See, I think the reason I didn't have most of this stuff
because I was too caught up inmy own work. I wasn't an average
kid. I was a kid that would haveprobably grown up today. But
back then, because I rememberthat was all about video games.
Watching, you know, are youafraid to like Saturday? I make
like snake like that. But thenafter that I wouldn't sleep to

(41:02):
back then I still wouldn't go tobed till like two three in the
morning. And at 10 o'clock onFridays 10 to 11 here would show
enemy and out before anybodyreally knew what it was. So I
just stay up watching anime allnight.

Genesis (41:15):
Do even though we was being broadcast like that, was
there anime toys that you couldget not over

Sage (41:21):
here now. Anime from the early 90s is very brutal. Like
it's a lot of blood a lot ofgore a lot a lot of sex and shit
like that? Was a dubbed giventhem. Yeah, back then. Channel
11 That's why it took forever tocome over. But yeah, I wouldn't
really play with toys like that.
I just wasn't.

Genesis (41:39):
I feel like you missed out.

Sage (41:42):
My Mortal Kombat and stuff. I was happy.

Genesis (41:46):
Video games I well, I mean, I agree. Yeah, video games
are also a major part of all ofour childhoods, you know, but I
I mean, toys played a big roletoo, as well, especially, you
know, the action figures. Idon't think I always felt like I
wasn't playing with themproperly. Like, I always had
this thing in my head. Like Ishould be playing out these
fantasy battles that you see onthe commercials where they're

(42:06):
like, battling them. And it waslike, I never really did any of
that I didn't have these storiesset. For my human characters.
I'm like, T M and T,

Sage (42:16):
which is ridiculous considering how much you like
d&d.

Genesis (42:19):
I know. Right? Yeah.
Let's see. I don't play d&d withfigurines either.

Sage (42:24):
The No, I'm just talking about like d&d majority of time
you're making up the story.

Genesis (42:27):
Right, right, right.
Yeah, no, that's why I alwaysfelt like I didn't quite get it.
But I love the toys themselves.
I like looking at them andplaying with them in a different
way. That's not a bad yeah,that's terrible. And moving on
to the next one. I think thiscommercial is kind of dogshit
but hopefully it gets the point.

Sage (42:56):
There is no real real point. What no real point for
potlucks none whatsoever

Rick (43:05):
Yeah, you can stop the commercial and nobody gives a
shit while

Genesis (43:08):
pots. Collect Boggs

Rick (43:10):
I had a few but I def because he's right. There's
literally no purpose of them.
Other than just, they're there.
Yeah.

Genesis (43:18):
Well, there was a game too. It was a game but I agree
because I didn't know that therewas a game until like I ran into
like the fucking pug kids

Sage (43:32):
when you go to I went to my books

Genesis (43:41):
you didn't you don't you? Oh my mercy in the pod kids
that had those like fucking bigthey had like five tubes of just
their Pogs

Sage (43:48):
I grew up in the hood. We didn't have parks.

Genesis (43:54):
I'm sorry. I didn't have a whole lot either, though.
I think I thought it was coolerthan it was actually to have
them. And I don't remember howthey were sold. Like did you buy
them in a like a singles

Sage (44:06):
or you're asking the uninitiated over here?

Genesis (44:10):
Yeah, we're not pug people but it was such a big fat
though.

Sage (44:13):
I remember. I remember seeing it a lot but never Yeah,
never was like

Genesis (44:20):
it was like trying to check this collectible fantasy.
Yeah, is

Sage (44:24):
trading cars and everything was really big back
then. Right. You kind of branchinto that world.

Genesis (44:30):
That's true. Which I never really got. Well, no, I
did. I did get into that alittle bit. Even baseball cards
to get into the sport.

Sage (44:37):
I still got a shit ton of basketball cards. Yeah. Probably
made

Genesis (44:41):
a resurgence. I feel like people are collecting this
shit now.

Sage (44:45):
They got a couple of Jordan cards. I might look and
see about selling sometime soon.

Genesis (44:49):
You Yeah, might as well. Especially. Well, that
sheds back hot right now.

Rick (44:55):
Oh yeah. You can sack up All day, that bump on a pillow
blown. Put your hand in sweatget ready

Unknown (45:12):
to go like soccer.
Soccer months and bomb trucksand boots.
Soccer bumper was more fun thanthe qualifying side big time
toys.

Genesis (45:28):
Like less cringe

Sage (45:30):
it's pointed out point out the fact there was no black kids
in it for a reason

Rick (45:37):
I love soccer rockers and I want the record to show that
the reason why I liked them somuch is because it was the only
excuse I could have for beatingthe show on my sister. As long
as I had those on know as well

Genesis (45:56):
find up her socks.

Sage (45:59):
I feel like you're a bad parent if you bought those Oh
for your kid. Because you'reliterally just saying hey, we're
gonna fight. Yeah,

Genesis (46:07):
I mean, but the idea you know, bullies you move
they're gonna fight and wrestleand play you know, that's an
assault more fun than a pillow.

Sage (46:13):
But you just heard him like, you know, he got him

Genesis (46:18):
he's He's a psychopath we've already kind of
established that.

Rick (46:23):
Dude, I will look because I think everyone who got these
probably have boys right allboys that played with them.

Genesis (46:30):
Right? Yeah, I mean, I would assume my brother at

Rick (46:33):
the time I got these I would have been 1112 and my
brother was fucking 2122 I'm notfighting that asshole with
these. So the only thing I coulddo was fight my sister. years
younger than me. She and I werethe same height. Well, I've

(46:53):
always been talking to her butwe were around the same height
in age and we thought it wasfine.

Genesis (47:01):
I haven't maybe I'm stretching here but sage Hear me
out. You might you might be onboard with this. We see soccer
bopper poppers, right likefistfights. And then what do we
evolve into? Nerf guns.

Rick (47:12):
Go after we have

Sage (47:13):
Nerf guns existed.

Genesis (47:15):
I'm not saying I have the timeline in front of me. I'm
building my own timeline here.

Rick (47:22):
Before we go any further.
I need you to click on thatbanned soccer bopper commercial.
What the fuck that how did theyban a soccer ball?

Sage (47:33):
Clearly, apparently, those are adults

Rick (47:40):
because they completely caught my band. What do you
mean?

Genesis (47:44):
Zoo books?

Rick (47:46):
I had those. No, I didn't have those. But yeah, those

Sage (47:49):
clearly reading is your fun.

Rick (47:55):
You gotta do what you got to do.

Sage (47:57):
Not fuck going outside and playing sports or riding by my
friends. I'm gonna see him readthe zoo book. Look at his camel.

Genesis (48:05):
Yep. And you know, you read them when you come in for
the night after Dindin

Sage (48:08):
can go back out watch TV play video games.

Genesis (48:11):
But we had one TV.

Rick (48:14):
You only have one TV in the house.

Genesis (48:16):
Yeah, for a long time.
I mean, eventually we got ourown TVs. But for a while there
when I hear you

Sage (48:21):
guys sit down and watch Perry Mason with your mum.

Rick (48:26):
Andy Griffith Show I often realize how super privileged we
were as kids. Because I mean,we've never had less than like
four TVs now. We all had our ownbedroom pool in the backyard.
The tree for Christmas oil.
Huge. And we each had liketended 15 gifts a piece. When we
were kids. My parents were theshit, man. I mean, they

Genesis (48:50):
got hooked up on Christmas. But like the big
extravagant stuff that wasn't apart of it. But I was outside a
lot building forts riding bikesauto ship,

Rick (49:00):
but I bet you if I go back and ask my mom about those days
when I was a kid, she'd be like,oh, man, we were living paycheck
to paycheck.

Sage (49:09):
I had the same I think like 12 inch TV. From the time I
was like nine until I think Iwas in seventh grade. Black and
white. No, it was color. Seven.
I only remember because Iremember one year I got a Sega
Saturn for Christmas. And I justdon't know. I love my son and

Genesis (49:30):
fucky No, I mean yes played on that TV.

Sage (49:33):
I stopped that because it came with Sega Saturn sticker so
I stuck the sticker on the sideof the TV and mother fucker was
there for years.

Rick (49:42):
I never got the Sega Saturn super

Genesis (49:44):
salty about that. Yeah, I never got it either. And so
way later on I startedcollecting them.

Sage (49:50):
So you that's why I'm weird because I never had a
PlayStation. I went Sega Saturnin 64x Xbox. No, I got Saturn in
64 Dreamcast Xbox.

Rick (50:00):
Was he again? This is my privilege talking growing up. I
always had the major threeright. Sega Nintendo. When the
time

Sage (50:10):
Yeah, I was lucky to get one you know?

Rick (50:14):
I always had when I mean ever since the PlayStation I
always had both and then when xXbox came I always had all
three, but I skipped the Saturnand went to the Dreamcast. Like
I completely skip to Saturn.
Yeah, and I remember beingheartbroken too because Nights
into Dreams

Sage (50:31):
was I fucking bought to do this.

Rick (50:35):
I used to break my neck at Walmart at those kiosks when you
had to fucking tilt your entirehead back. I wanted that game so
bad and just never got a Saturn

Genesis (50:48):
in the Saturn, isn't it one of the most expensive retail
consoles to ever come out withit that could just be pulled out
of my house. But I That soundsfamiliar to me thinking of the
Saturday. I don't

Sage (50:59):
know that they had one of the best marketing's ever not
here in America. The Japanesemarketing for the second
Saturday. I was gonna saybecause the thing did. They do?
Well, they had their own likelittle mascot for he was great.

fucking hilarious if you everwatched

Genesis (51:19):

When I saw commercials, I waslike, I wish I wouldn't see me

them up the dope

Genesis (51:35):

Sage (51:48):
Cool. You

Unknown (51:52):
my baby are gone and she loves cherries from her job.
She knows

Genesis (52:07):
the only reason I want to hear you explain this because
I remember this commercial Iremember those little tiny
fucking plastic dots when Idon't even know what kind of
baby food that was intended tobe for the baby. But I remember
seeing that thinking like howweird is this fucking toy? And I
remember the jingle to that wasa baby are all gone baby What

Tinley Park mental hospitalthat's down the street from our
job that's abandoned now. Heused to work there. But do my
best. And my fucking brother puthis feet in these in the little
straps snapped that that like,because

Sage (54:22):
they did have a weight limit then. Oh, yeah. Um,

kids. And I don't know if youcan see from this picture but
where the foot goes in thisthese elastic straps that kind
of hold it in place. That's whatallows you to do the bouncing in
and yeah, those snapped and Inever got a new pair anything I

Moon shoes. I remember begging my dad for a yo yo

Rick (54:58):
I definitely do. If we do I don't they're still though, I
get it. Every time

Genesis (55:07):
I follow the instructions on those was so
challenging to just do a fuckingwalk the dog.

Sage (55:14):
I used to do all types of tricks when I walked the dog to
the fucking pyramid when thatpyramid the triangle were pinned
on them. Cinema room just dotricks all day.

Genesis (55:28):
Those were they as fun as they look right now. And it's
commercial because like, I stillhave these,

Rick (55:32):
you know, they are kind of fun, actually. But you felt
weird walking on them? Because,I mean, obviously, the heavier
you are, the more you kind ofsink down into the base area
there.

Genesis (55:45):
Did you go to school in these walking? Are you just like
jump and play?

Rick (55:49):
No, you could jump and play but I mean that you could
walk in them to realistically.
Okay, I mean, you could youprobably It probably says on the
box. Don't walk in these.
There'll be an asshole.

Genesis (56:05):
Am I really want to

Rick (56:05):
move. You should get these and where I'm on stream.

Genesis (56:09):
They're breaking like immediately. There's no way

Sage (56:14):
I'm pretty sure they don't come in that size. If you order
Moon shoes in a size 12 You'reon somebody's list.

Rick (56:24):
Yeah, you're on. You're on the list somewhere for sure.

Genesis (56:26):
Me too tiny trampolines. I'll make it work.

Rick (56:29):
Did you guys have trembling? Did you play with
trampolines?

Sage (56:32):
And if you don't go to the next goddamn thing?

Rick (56:35):
No, I didn't have a trampoline. But I had a friend
who did.

Genesis (56:39):
But did you guys have trampoline way later? Yeah,

Rick (56:41):
do Tripoli's awesome.

Genesis (56:43):
Ever dangerous.

Rick (56:44):
No, do do I got a child story about that. But that's
another topic. We'll we'll doour stories later.

Genesis (56:51):
Okay plan that annoys

Unknown (57:03):
me back to bed for you.
Remember it?

Rick (57:08):
I definitely remember this. Oh, man.

Genesis (57:13):
I know the commercial but man, I cannot remember if I
had this or not. I don't. Yeah,I don't know. But I remember
this fucking commercial likeback in my hand.

Rick (57:22):
I don't think I have this.
I do remember the commercialthough.

Genesis (57:26):
It was when I was like searching up a lot of these. I
would never in a million yearshave remembered don't like Daddy
until I heard the song and I waslike, holy shit. This brings
back memories of just thecommercial. Not even the fucking
game. Don't wait, daddy. Costs Iimagined this isn't on the

(57:47):
shelves right now. Probably not.

Rick (57:49):
No, no.

Sage (57:52):
No, I mean, it could be I mean, it's a board game board
games

Rick (57:55):
is possible.

Genesis (57:56):
Right? This was Hasbro to

Rick (57:59):
you. Don't let me and I'm gonna go. No, absolutely not.

Sage (58:06):
The way that your child who was asked Jeeves

Rick (58:12):
that's pretty good. That is pretty good. Wait a minute.
Amazon has it available? Like Iknew Yeah. 1999 Wow. Amazon

Genesis (58:25):
so you had to sneak in what it what did it what I just
now I forgot what the commercialwhat they were doing in it.

Unknown (58:33):
We tried to sneak it in the kitchen without daddy noise.
It could be back to

Rick (58:37):
bed for you. I mean that.
It's literally the exact samebox. Now they added a little
border now that says take timeto play. Like is there any
diversity on it? That's funny.
No, no, not at all. I mean,they're still the same kid same
dad on the picture. This isblowing my mind and this is

(59:01):
actually still available. It's a

Sage (59:03):
board game. The cost to make them isn't high. Not yet.
There's

Genesis (59:07):
like $1.50 to

Rick (59:10):
make all the cardboard and the little pieces right I like
five bucks at the most celebrateis just like us on a podcast
talking about a problem

Genesis (59:23):
that's the problem when you're an adult and you having
this style to trips I mean, yougot money to actually buy the
shit the dumb shit.

Rick (59:29):
Yeah, I just added it to the cart
I mean, the kids I have kidsthough, so I have an excuse.

Genesis (59:39):
Here's the one that you mentioned earlier sage

Unknown (59:45):
small madness. Tracking that really talks fail at the
Fashion Boutique. All the fun ofa shopping spree with mall
madness. You get it all a bankaccount and your own credit
card. At the sunglass man It'sreally tough to win by
everything on your list and befirst out of them on

Sage (01:00:05):
let's just use the force me to play this stupid game

Rick (01:00:12):
It says there was like oh we're going to the mall beach

Genesis (01:00:16):
break my my Barbie mansion

Rick (01:00:22):
going to the mall

Genesis (01:00:24):
I mean this kind of dates itself to because this
came out when malls were fuckinghuge like the peak enough to
make a board game about theexperience

Sage (01:00:33):
that theme so it was kind of weak though oh everybody

Rick (01:00:42):

my life

Genesis (01:02:07):
can you imagine if that was my if they had like a
version for boys like It's likegirls talking to you like that?
It'd be like it's like thegateway to sex phone lines
right?

Sage (01:02:17):
That's pretty much that way.

Genesis (01:02:22):
Jesus man Yeah, the toys were very different that
were four little boys and littlegirls.

Sage (01:02:31):
Oh fucking

Unknown (01:02:35):
great American to Dad is brought to you by turn on the
magic of colored lights lightbright from Doulton.

Sage (01:02:41):
I like the way he said color lights might make a face
do

Unknown (01:02:52):
glow at night. Just pop in the colored pegs and follow
the pattern that allows you tomake beautiful pictures with
light bright or create yourfavorite characters with like
bright refills like Disney'sBeauty and the Beast, tailspin
and The Little Mermaid magic ofshining light bright from Milton
Bradley

Genesis (01:03:19):
again like rights though, man I love I love my
fucking life. Right? Yeah.

Sage (01:03:25):
Your book reading? Yeah.

Genesis (01:03:28):
Well, it allowed me to express some creativeness you
know? You didn't have one.

Sage (01:03:34):
I'm pretty sure did. I remember messing with one?
Actually. I don't remember if Iactually have an old one. Yeah,
I think maybe my school we hadone.

Genesis (01:03:43):
Oh, interesting. But yeah, I see over here. This is
all this is from the 70s Thiswasn't the span multiple
generations. Are you seeingthis? Today? are like your kids.
Right? There's something that'sstill exist for them.

Rick (01:04:00):
We decided the girls said

Genesis (01:04:03):
what happened? Ask them if they know what a light bright
is right now.

Rick (01:04:07):
Okay, hang on. Mute.

Genesis (01:04:10):
Why did you mute?

Rick (01:04:13):
Won't because I had to yell across the apartment.

Sage (01:04:16):
A little. I got a question for you. Ladies

Rick (01:04:20):
question asked you. Do you to know what a light bright is?
No, no. That's not a thing.
That's not a thing. Sure it is.
Yeah, it's a thing. It's athing. It was a thing when I was
your age? At least I think so.
Here this is what it is. Oh, thethings on where do you see

(01:04:44):
Stranger Things? StrangerThings?

Genesis (01:04:55):
The best answer

Rick (01:04:57):
was I love you.

Sage (01:04:58):
Thank you Oh no yeah

Rick (01:05:10):
yeah they they went to go get Portilla and they got me
yeah, they got

Sage (01:05:21):
Thank You for Yeah.

Rick (01:05:24):
But I definitely had a light bright growing up.

Sage (01:05:28):
I appreciate it. I had two or three you

Rick (01:05:32):
know, just the one Mr.
One,

Genesis (01:05:34):
it was like a pattern right and you follow the like,
it was like a color by numberskind of thing. Was that because
it was like the black paperright and you punctured the hole
and then it was just like a flatlight behind it. That lit up.
I'm trying to remember how itworked.

Rick (01:05:49):
I don't actually if my memory serves me correctly, I
think it came with like littlelight bulbs, not like bowls but
you know, like a like Christmaslight. Where it's like the
little bulb that you think youjust connect it in to the slots.

Genesis (01:06:05):
So there's like holes behind it like that they plugged
into Yeah, you

Rick (01:06:09):
know when you see the commercial the 1970s light
bright commercial. Yeah,topless.

Sage (01:06:14):
He was trying his best not to say colored

Rick (01:06:19):
I think this will show Yeah, it's like little things
that you connect in.

Genesis (01:06:26):
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay.

Sage (01:06:29):
Okay, seeing it this close. Yeah, definitely. This is
school. Don't think I had one athome though.

Genesis (01:06:34):
See, I remember sheets that I hoped through like, maybe
that was accessories to it orsomething because like you've
seen in the other commercialthey have Disney shit. If
there's no way some kids justmaking that you know, like, I
swear I had like templates thatI was I would poke through and
then it was like a one and donething.

Rick (01:06:51):
You honestly it probably was something like that. I think
a majority of the time when Iplayed with it it was just
random putting shit places.

Genesis (01:07:00):
boobs on there

Rick (01:07:02):
for your for sure. But you know I think you're right I
think there was like a littlepad or something you would put
over it to design specificthings.

Genesis (01:07:12):
Yeah, cuz I swear I swear we got this from the
thrift store as well and likeyou get it and like all all the
templates were already likebunkered through so you couldn't
like do anything. See my halftorn.

Sage (01:07:23):
This has nothing to do with this. But this is reminding
me of what me and my friendsused to do when I was a kid.
Because you remember Christmaslights? And they don't have this
problem anymore. But if one bulbwent out, they all stopped
working.

Genesis (01:07:37):
Yeah, that's still a problem.

Sage (01:07:39):
So we around Christmas time we would go outside and
just randomly undo one randomfucking bulb on somebody
scripts. Christmas lights. Justthe

Genesis (01:07:47):
dirty. The lights.
Dirty. I never even thoughtabout that mean a prank you
could do on somebody. That'sfunny. That's so horrible. So
dirty. Like that's the outsidelights. That's like fucking
10,000 lights.

Sage (01:08:05):
You gotta go out there, bitches.

Rick (01:08:08):
Oh, man. My dad still goes out there and puts Christmas
lights on the front of thehouse. My dad so like it's a bad
thing. No, my dad is the theChristmas guy. My mom is the
Grinch. My mom is the one that'slike alright, Christmas lights
and go up Christmas Eve. Theygotta come down after the day
after. Right? My dad is like no,we'll put it up after

(01:08:31):
Thanksgiving. Take it downmiddle of February. So she's

Sage (01:08:34):
middle of February.

Rick (01:08:38):
I think if anything I actually think the lights are
still up. They just aren'tplugged in

Sage (01:08:44):
don't you got a Christmas tree still up in your house
right now? Yes,

Rick (01:08:51):
yeah, you take a ship.
It's August 16 Sir.

Genesis (01:08:56):
Like I don't think you're ready when it comes back

Rick (01:08:57):
around the stick up.
aren't you moving soon?

Genesis (01:09:00):
Are you going to take it down to move? Yeah, of
course. Move it fully loadedeverything. It's one of those
kit things where it looks likeone piece your monster. I mean,
I like Christmas.

Rick (01:09:13):
Oh, oh, I remember this

Unknown (01:09:21):
place here.

Sage (01:09:24):
I totally expected to actually control Oh, yeah. You
make them

Unknown (01:09:36):
bite. You make them fight.
They kick some serious sharks

Rick (01:09:47):
actually, I think they did actually have toys of these
right?

Genesis (01:09:50):
Yeah, they had the actual action figures. This one
is the robbery like hand puppetsthat they have which I had I had
both sets, but I fucking Havethe hand puppets.

Rick (01:10:01):
Yeah, yeah, I had some of these as well. And

Sage (01:10:05):

Rick (01:10:07):
You didn't want you didn't play with you didn't have them.
Oh, man.

Sage (01:10:11):
Did you watch the show?
Yeah, watch the show.

Genesis (01:10:13):
Okay. Let's see. He was just like, oh, I want the toys.
This one was probablyspecifically a show that was
made to sell toys. It has to be

Rick (01:10:27):
Yeah, yeah, I I'm trying to remember if I had the actual
actual figures. I think I did.

Sage (01:10:35):
This came out around the same time it's like Biker Mice
from Mars. And um, oh, yeah.

Rick (01:10:39):
Biker Mice from Mars.

Sage (01:10:42):
Boys. Space Cowboys have moved mountain or some shit like
that. That doesn't soundfamiliar. If you see a picture
of it. It'll come flashing backto you.

Genesis (01:10:51):
The Hammerhead shark. I was fascinated by that animal in
general as a kid. I alwaysthought that was the coolest
shark ever. And then that tiedin with street sharks was
fucking so cool to have the toys

Sage (01:11:04):
is cowboys and move mesa.
That's what it was.

Genesis (01:11:07):
Now remember that.

Rick (01:11:09):
Okay, you said Biker Mice from Mars. Right back in and
there's a there's a characterthis it just popped up in my
head. I don't remember it. Butit was I think it was a mouse.
Right? It was green. And he waslike a space thing or something
like that. Was that the same? Hehad like buck teeth.

Sage (01:11:29):
They're doing anything else?

Rick (01:11:33):
Yeah, it's gonna drive me Fuck yeah, I think he was a mile
or he might have been a fuckingrabbit

Genesis (01:11:43):
Yeah, that was the toy right there.

Rick (01:11:44):
Oh, you just say I found it. Bucky O'Hare

Genesis (01:11:48):
Bucky O'Hare

Rick (01:11:49):
it was I thought it was a mouse

Sage (01:11:55):
What the hell is this of course is back on me.

Rick (01:11:59):
Of course. Yeah. Do Bucky oh hey was dope

Genesis (01:12:04):
Oh yeah, remember this guy? His picture I don't think I
know what content this was.

Sage (01:12:11):
I think it was your Code Wars yet never heard

Rick (01:12:16):
Yeah, I was I was a comic book. First it looks like and
then it spawned off into gamesand TV shows.

Sage (01:12:24):
That I'm looking at these extra figures these are kind of
terrifying action figures. Do

Genesis (01:12:29):
you hear Yeah,

Rick (01:12:30):
dude kids toys for fucking often I mean a lot of it she
just get like this bulky Oh hairtoo, to fucking

Unknown (01:12:45):
walk your hair on the floors. The toilet Air Marshal
has ordered his storm toys.

Rick (01:12:52):
I hit that exactly what he had

Unknown (01:12:56):
on boy genius willing to

Genesis (01:13:01):
block hair blue. Hi, boy.

Unknown (01:13:04):
New Bucky. Bigger sold separately. I'm not

Genesis (01:13:11):
so little frog size like fire though. I would have
one of those.

Rick (01:13:17):
Dude, I had that exact one where he had like those massive
feet. Yeah, he's like, his armswere just permanently stuck out
in like a weird position. Man tome, I'm going down memory lane.

Genesis (01:13:32):
That's the whole point of this.

Rick (01:13:36):
Man extra finger. I might actually, dude, I've been
thinking about it. It's gonnaruin any sort of relationship.
But I'm thinking aboutrebuilding the collection.

Genesis (01:13:50):
I can see it. Yeah, I mean, you'd have to be pretty
particular on like, how you, youknow, set it up, because there's
just so many

Rick (01:13:58):
now but here's the problem. Okay, because as we
know, with all my collecting, Icollect things to actually play
them. Right. So if I collecttoys, and I go back to my
childhood, and like do storieswith the toys. I used to
actually do pretty good storiesdo

Genesis (01:14:17):
maybe you should hold off on doing this thing because
when I've been some troubledwaters, how how so I don't I
don't know. I just feel likethat's the start of a terrifying
thriller. Director fucking USA

Rick (01:14:31):
now that could end me up on a list somewhere.

Sage (01:14:37):
Your real life Lars and the real girl

Rick (01:14:39):
home Why did my child's gonna be on Making a Murderer
and I'm gonna end up on I don'teven want to

Genesis (01:14:48):
say it. Nevermind.
Well, your dad has experiencewith these kinds of things. What
was his profession?

Rick (01:14:55):
Yeah, yeah, I got you but Whoa, hold on. Amazon has the
Megazord with the five dinosaursfor $45

Genesis (01:15:08):
kit they send that link to your cousin Add

Rick (01:15:11):
to Cart right no no that so only he sold the dragon he
didn't steal the whole thing.

Genesis (01:15:18):
Yeah, time that's passed like you're owed
compensation interest

Sage (01:15:23):
Dragonzord was this thing by itself?

Rick (01:15:26):
Yeah, it was. It was the dragons or was there was a
dragon right

Sage (01:15:31):
now if you're talking about the mega dragons or we're
both of them combined togetherthen you need to down have some
words

Rick (01:15:39):
like oh, we need to talk.
And like now if you I because Iactually tried to look up the
Megazord or not MegazordVoltron. If you tried to buy the
Voltron tigers. They only havelike the plastic version. Right?
We're all the beasts wereplastic, but I had the actual
metal. Where you could killsomebody like

Genesis (01:16:04):
when toys are made with real materials,

Rick (01:16:06):
dude, I fucking dude.

Sage (01:16:10):
Why does this sound familiar?

Rick (01:16:12):
I'm about to fucking buy a bunch of shit.

Sage (01:16:16):
Under the chicken limbo.
Oh, that's why

Unknown (01:16:27):
she tells you without the chicken,

Sage (01:16:31):
but if you do not even try chicken we talk about how racism
commercials go on. Chickenlimbo. And he's Jamaican. Why?

Genesis (01:16:53):
Well, that's where Limbo comes from,

Sage (01:16:55):
does it? Yeah.

Genesis (01:16:57):
I don't know. I'm just basing that off of Futurama with

Sage (01:17:04):
chicken. Not a black kid and say going to Jamaica. What
is what is what is Limbooriginally?

Genesis (01:17:14):
Oh shit. What was his name? The accountant in
Futurama? Okay, but Jamaicanguy. He was the limbo champion.

Sage (01:17:22):
Okay, so it did start in the Caribbean. But the way it
started, I'm still I'm stillgoing with racist. Then again
started among African slaves whotransported to the Caribbean on
crowded ships. So yeah, there'llbe a play in limbo for fun. They

(01:17:43):
were playing level for life.

Genesis (01:17:46):
They weren't confident they weren't in competitions,
right? You get to survive if youcan go under the stick. The
lowest. But the question is, didyou have chicken limbo?

Sage (01:18:00):
No. No, I did not have chicken.

Genesis (01:18:03):
It's I had morals. It's not a commercial knew right
away. What the man was doing. He

Sage (01:18:16):
was bashing from fucking Little Mermaid.

Genesis (01:18:19):
I feel like I had this one. I can't remember. I
remember this commercial. Again.
Like I remember that tune thatjingle. Everything about this
game, but I must have I think Iplayed this at a friend's house.
I don't remember actually havingthis myself.

Sage (01:18:33):
I'm noticing a recurring theme because I don't think we
saw commercial they had anychildren of color whatsoever
yet.

Genesis (01:18:39):
Yeah. Unfortunately.
See, here's another one. Yeah. Iremember

Unknown (01:18:50):
the names and games.
Sharon passed me on when theyasked me which that you I love
the best matches because I'm theoriginal. I love new
machine and come on nice andclean. Doodle there comes in one

(01:19:12):
of four different colors withwashable doodle pens and
tattoos. Each pair soldseparately.

Genesis (01:19:17):
Do you remember the doodle there?

Rick (01:19:18):
I do. But I don't think I had one. Shot No. Yeah.

Genesis (01:19:26):
Yeah, I was like jealous that this was like
something I wanted so much. Butit was like clearly not marketed
for me. But I really wanted one.
It's like just a cool product.
You get to draw and doodle allover your little teddy bear
thing and watch it.

Sage (01:19:42):
Yeah, I never liked drawing so it was never appealed
to me.

Genesis (01:19:48):
Yeah, the commercial that's I mean, that tracks kind
of fire right? Because I'm Imean, it's clearly a copy of

Sage (01:19:55):
these greaser music. Yeah.

Genesis (01:19:57):
Oh, there was that song because I'm gonna I'm gonna And
yeah, dude, it's such a ripoffof something else.

Sage (01:20:04):
You thought it was gonna be in the comics.

Genesis (01:20:06):
Okay that was a mistake for batteries not included

Unknown (01:20:25):
my name is

Sage (01:20:30):
maybe this is why my parents bought me this black kid

Unknown (01:20:36):
illustrated books and cassette from worlds of wonder,

Sage (01:20:39):
dude, I love my teddy bear. My Teddy rough skin me. I
remember when my mom threw itaway I was super pissed. Granted
she throw it away right at twobroken legs and broken arm. But
it was still good. I stillrocked with a stiff snuggle

Genesis (01:20:53):
it too hard.

Sage (01:20:54):
Oh, no, I don't remember how I used to sleep.

Genesis (01:21:02):
Yeah. So how did you actually because I never had one
of these and I really wantedone. I feel like this was one of
those like rich people toys. Solike in the commercial there
showcase like they're having aconversation together. But that
couldn't have worked like that,right?

Sage (01:21:17):
It had you didn't see they put a little cassette tape in
the back.

Genesis (01:21:19):
It's like he had to like pretend that you were
talking while he was having openended conversations.

Sage (01:21:25):
It would like read books and stuff depending on the
cassette tape.

Genesis (01:21:28):
Oh, read you books.
Yeah. Oh, man. See, I wish I hadone of these. I suppose you
didn't have one, Rick?

Rick (01:21:36):
No, I'm really trying to wrack your brain here.

Genesis (01:21:39):
I don't think I

Sage (01:21:40):
remember the Teddy Rubashkin when his parents paid
to have somebody come over andread him a book every night.

Genesis (01:21:45):
You had real bears.

Rick (01:21:48):
No, my one of my parents read me books.

Genesis (01:21:53):
Do you remember that Howie Mandel movie show where he
was raised by wolves? I can nowI'm drawing a blank on the name
of the no like one of his firstmovies. Great movie ahead.
Christopher Lloyd and HowieMandel. He fell off like his
wagon as a baby and he was rightwaves
walk like a man that's what it'scalled. Well played that song.

(01:22:24):
So he should I do this movie.
This movie is fantastic. So hegets found later on by some lady
who's studying wolves, right andrealize like he's part of this
family that's super wealthy andrich, but he's all grown up and
he was raised by wolves. So heacts like a wolf

Sage (01:22:44):
87

Genesis (01:22:45):
I remember he goes to the mall for the first time and
he's interacts with a TeddyRuxpin doll and it was and I
really want this thing

Sage (01:22:54):
Oh, I forget this will be Robert Downey Jr. was in this
Yes he was.

Genesis (01:22:59):
Oh wow. I don't remember that. Completely forgot

Sage (01:23:01):
about this movie. Oh, here's the scene where he talks
about Teddy Ruxpin

Genesis (01:23:06):
Yeah Here comes young he looks

Unknown (01:23:27):
Hello my name is Teddy Ruxpin. Bobo Yes, let's go on an
adventure together. Yes

Rick (01:23:45):
I'll wait till Mommy, can I Oh, sweetheart, we really
can't afford that right.

Genesis (01:24:03):
rich person toy

Sage (01:24:12):
how's that risk person Tory? If this wasn't the 80s for
what she's wearing? That'sconsidered drip. She got fucking
her

Rick (01:24:24):
the perm because I was gonna say look, no disrespect to
how even though right? Lookslike a child person.

Genesis (01:24:33):
Maybe person a baby person?

Rick (01:24:35):
Yeah, like, first of all.
I'm gonna be honest. I didn'tknow he was in it in anything
before. America's Got Talent orwhatever.

Genesis (01:24:45):
I'm like, where I came from. Well, I

Rick (01:24:47):
don't know. I didn't know who he was before that.

Genesis (01:24:50):
I don't know. Have you never seen little monsters?
Little Monsters? Yeah.

Rick (01:24:54):
No, I don't think so. I didn't sound familiar. Okay,

Genesis (01:25:00):
A movie with a cartoon growing up Bobby's World. World.
Yeah.

Rick (01:25:05):
What's he, Bobby? Or was she

Sage (01:25:09):
most of the voices?

Rick (01:25:10):
Oh shit I didn't know.
Well now hold on Cartoon that'sa little different I would I
know. Yeah, yeah, I mean nowlittle monsters though I'm
looking at it I did not see thisthis doesn't even I mean it
looks kind of familiar but

Genesis (01:25:24):
we're not surprised yeah

Rick (01:25:27):
yeah look at the way you touch it a little boy yeah it
looks like a fucking

Sage (01:25:31):
weird it's not just any little boys Fred Savage

Rick (01:25:34):
oh no I get it

Genesis (01:25:39):
thought this was right well monsters

Sage (01:25:41):
that will be still good

Unknown (01:25:43):
yeah

Rick (01:25:45):
I see they did a 2019 remake was not a remake it's
just a different movie with thesame title

Genesis (01:25:55):
now is that the one with Halle Berry?

Rick (01:25:58):
No Lupita Nihongo

Sage (01:26:04):
Oh 20 Yes and then do with that?

Rick (01:26:07):
No no no no not even remotely
connected. I have added way toomuch to my Amazon cart.

Genesis (01:26:20):
But going keep going.

Rick (01:26:22):
I guess I stumbled on Did you Montoya oh yeah Ken Ward
Raimondo they got a blurredremark.

Genesis (01:26:34):
I tried to leave out ones that span so far like Power
Rangers Teenage Mutant NinjaTurtles Digimap like I tried to
leave out stuff that were notspecific to a single toy because
to remember like every singlecommercial I feel like some of
these one off things would spawnmore memories. You know what I
mean? Like this next one here.
This goes apart with all likeboys like gross things

Unknown (01:27:07):
this dusty, old noxious bolding retching sickening

Sage (01:27:22):
This isn't even like a creative toy
technology and shit.

Genesis (01:27:32):
Just yeah, just telling them to go shop in you know,
take care of babiesindoctrination at its finest
right there. And we're gettingstuck in things that throw up
more balls. I rememberwaterfalls. I remember shit.
What were those other? It waslike the Cabbage Patch Kids but
it was all the Garbage PailKids. Yeah, that's it. Yeah.

Sage (01:27:55):
I don't I never collected those but that was one of my
favorite movies growing up

Genesis (01:28:03):
did you guys have any blurb balls?

Rick (01:28:05):
No, no, I don't even remember these to be honest.

Genesis (01:28:09):
I feel like these had a ton of different knockoff style
things where it was just like athing that shot something out
like how you see like shootingstuff

Sage (01:28:15):
either. Super hard to make.

Rick (01:28:18):
I mean one thing I know one thing I see a lot of tabs
you got open for this topic. Andyeah, if I don't see one
specific toy, I'm gonna riot

Genesis (01:28:29):
maybe not. I mean, did this fucking lead 1015 years
worth of toys?

Rick (01:28:36):
If you went off of the jingle and whether or not you
remember the jingle for these,then yeah, it's probably not up
there.

Genesis (01:28:44):
Well, hold it and we'll see. That help. I know. You're
proud. Yay.

Sage (01:28:52):
These things ruin Gotcha.
fish sticks.

Unknown (01:28:59):
Are you hungry? By all means?
I took like care about changingsome water.
So Tamagotchi can pause. I thinkBarstow
Tomodachi, the original VirtualReality pet care determines the

(01:29:22):
pets you get for Bandai.

Genesis (01:29:24):
at all time a god she

Sage (01:29:25):
hated those damn things so much.

Rick (01:29:28):
I loved loved Tamagotchi.

Sage (01:29:31):
Everybody in seventh grade had one of the modifiers

Genesis (01:29:35):
and had multiple.

Rick (01:29:37):
Yeah. No, I only had the one growing up. But I loved it
dude.

Genesis (01:29:43):
Did you ever get it all the way to like it's full adult
stage? No, no, I don't rememberdoing that either achieving
that?

Rick (01:29:51):
No. And you know, this was very short lived because I think
when I got this it was veryclose to when I got Pokemon Red.
for the Gameboy he was veryclose to then so I graduated to
gameboy color with polka readand I just stopped with
Tomodachi all together

Genesis (01:30:10):
clearly a better experience.

Rick (01:30:12):
Yeah, yeah. And I mean, it's kind of the same thing.

Sage (01:30:19):
Cheese. other reason that we got dijamin

Rick (01:30:22):
Yeah, I would not be surprised. That was a direct
influence.

Genesis (01:30:27):
I mean, I figured Did you mind came from Pokeyman
though?

Rick (01:30:31):
Well, it could be both. It could be the battling aspects of
Pokemon. raising them aspectsfrom Tommy. Yeah,

Sage (01:30:38):
cuz as you remember, did you on device that they use
looked an awful lot like aTamagotchi?

Genesis (01:30:44):
Yeah. Right. So you never had one sage knew? No. You
stayed away from this fad?
Because like what year did theTamagotchi come out?

Sage (01:30:56):
9697 9697.

Genesis (01:31:01):
Wow. And you knew that even then that you were like,
Nah, that's not for me. Yeah. Idon't want to take care of

Sage (01:31:06):
it's gonna be a no for me.

Genesis (01:31:08):
Right. You didn't have a dog? Right. So like, I would
have thought you would have beenexcited to have some sort of
pet.

Sage (01:31:13):
No, not it's not a digital pet. That's gonna bother me.
Can't do anything actual funwith it. No,

Rick (01:31:26):
no, I'm good. I'm good.

Sage (01:31:27):
There's got about batteries to keep you alive
alive.

Genesis (01:31:33):
I don't remember ever have fun to change out the
battery though. It was like awatch battery. And that's why

Sage (01:31:37):
you never got to the end.

Rick (01:31:42):
Got a good point.

Genesis (01:31:43):
I had a keychain with like five of these
motherfuckers. And what's thenext one here as well? To me

Sage (01:31:50):
again? Are you a virgin?

Genesis (01:31:54):
With this commercial?

Rick (01:31:58):
I have one of these two

Unknown (01:32:07):
Madonna's how hungry?

Genesis (01:32:09):
Oh, my God.

Unknown (01:32:15):
If you want your kid to grow bigger, you got to figure
out how to

Sage (01:32:20):
dance and dangerously close they're all

Unknown (01:32:26):
sold separately.
Gotta love them.

Rick (01:32:28):
I can you go back to the picture of a steel shot of all
of them together? Yeah. What waslike all? Yeah, that right there
where it's all six of them in arow. Okay.

Sage (01:32:40):
He just No, he's just trying to get back to that one
part.

Rick (01:32:43):
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I want to see all six of
them to get Yeah, there we go.
I'm trying to think which onethat I have? I think

Genesis (01:32:51):
you're talking about the girls. Girls. Actually, boy,
I thought you're gonna point outdiversity. Oh, do

Sage (01:33:03):
you tell me again how you reverse

Genesis (01:33:09):
the electronics dude,

Rick (01:33:11):
I'm almost positive. I had baby T Rex. Because I think Lee
had microchips. Of course youdid. I had baby T Rex. Yeah,
mine was read. Do this. ThatGiga pets.

Genesis (01:33:24):
I kind of remembered the T Rex too, because I
remember the T Rex pooping? Mmhmm. Oh, yeah. Don't. When did
these come out? These had havebeen after Tamagotchi. Right?
Because I remember for surehaving these on the same
keychain as my time I got cheeseShut up sage.

Rick (01:33:45):
I know one thing directly still available. Out here.

Genesis (01:33:51):
Add them to the shopping cart. Get your
daughter's a couple of days.

Sage (01:33:54):
They don't generally like an app on your fucking phone.

Rick (01:34:01):
The app, it says they came on 97.

Genesis (01:34:04):
And he's Oh So Tom, I got and he said Tom I gotcha was
9697. Right. Yeah, something

Sage (01:34:08):
like that. It wasn't hard to jump on a fat.

Rick (01:34:13):
I mean, no, I really want to you see how it is now where
everything gets copied. Tell allHill

Sage (01:34:20):
plot. It's true. That's around 9796. As far as kids
toys, they were followingJapan's lead for the most part.

Genesis (01:34:27):
Yeah, we've seen a lot of electronics come into play
towards early 2000s

Rick (01:34:32):
Tamagotchis are still available on Amazon 20 bucks.
Again, that has to be an app.

Genesis (01:34:38):
Yeah, but there's something special about the
physical. You mean?

Sage (01:34:43):
You get the app. Your phone starts vibrating.

Genesis (01:34:45):
Oh look up that app tonight. In the meantime, all
I'm looking at right now.

Rick (01:34:55):
But I had previously limited

Genesis (01:35:00):
I get to grow an apple tree. There you go.

Rick (01:35:03):
Your dog there is a my Tamagotchi forever app.
Tamagotchi on yet all kinds ofshit.

Sage (01:35:12):
Yeah Giga pets AR on on App Store.

Genesis (01:35:16):
Like it's not gonna be the same.

Sage (01:35:18):
How was it not the same as me.

Genesis (01:35:24):
I will tell I will explain it to you like this. So
if I have the physical thing,there's a certain level of
expectations when I'm going toget out of this little dingy
kid's toy. If it's an app, I'mgonna have a bit much higher
expectations for what I will beable to experience and do on it.

Sage (01:35:41):
The app is going to be better if anything because in
color with modern graphics,you're looking at a fucking two
bit S.

Genesis (01:35:49):
Black grass green, and black dots. Yeah. Well, right
don't shoot in my Wheaties okay?

Sage (01:35:56):
I'm just saying if you're gonna waste your money on this
when there's an app that does itbetter. Okay. pay

Unknown (01:36:03):
to play a game that's really challenging. Like what?
Yeah, you easy habit you mightwant to get your hands on.

(01:36:27):
You're not gonna stop fasttalking electronic bucket
batteries.

Sage (01:36:33):
Never heard about it. My cousin used to have one of these
played all the time.

Genesis (01:36:37):
It was a fire toy.
Yeah. Yeah, so that's, that'sthe old toy.

Sage (01:36:46):
Simon. And I used to destroy that thing. But as a
kid, I found it easier for me toremember numbers than colors.
And I still do that now. Solike, if it's like something
that I gotta remember, that'scolor coded. I'll assign a
number to it. And then I justremember the numbers like
alright, 16541 Yes, you're likethat.

Genesis (01:37:06):
That's like, right brain bias.

Sage (01:37:08):
Okay, I don't know what the fuck that means.

Genesis (01:37:12):
left sides like the artsy shit right sides more
computational

Sage (01:37:17):
is always is always made way more sense to me like that,
you know?

Genesis (01:37:22):
Yeah, no, I totally get that. That's just laid things
out for a lot of people. Thatmakes sense to me. But what I
mean the Bop It would have beenlike physical action. So you
probably would have did well atthe bar, but as well,

Sage (01:37:34):
I probably still would have broken down in numbers.

Genesis (01:37:36):
Yeah. 123 or something?
Yeah. Yeah. They had a fuckinghit little rhythm to it to Bop
it. Pull it sorted. Simon.

Sage (01:37:48):
Simon had some. When you get Simon going to be going
like,

Genesis (01:37:52):
Simon was 70s sci fi tunes to it had its own sort of
retro feeling to it that it'spretty cool.

Sage (01:38:01):
It was called Simon right.

Genesis (01:38:03):
Yeah, well, Simon had it was like the circular pad and
it had the four colors. You'dhad to repeat the the the
pattern.

Sage (01:38:09):
I remember what it did.
I'm just wondering if we got thename right.

Genesis (01:38:14):
It was definitely Simon. I think they came out
with another one in the 90s likesuper assignment or something
had eight pads to it. It was inlike dongles or something like
that.

Sage (01:38:25):
Yeah, it was kind of slimy. I'm looking at it right
now. Amazon 34 And

Genesis (01:38:31):
I think there's a they consider that

Sage (01:38:33):
a board game.

Genesis (01:38:35):
I guess because there's like a win and a lose. It's a
game. Did you have a bid Rick?

Rick (01:38:42):
I did. I did actually have a bot but we had assignment to
assign was the Simon Says right

Genesis (01:38:48):
now to people. You had the game.

Rick (01:38:51):
Yeah, yes. Yes. No. But yes, I did have a bob it it was
one of those things where itdied out pretty quick. Oh,
really? Yeah. It was fine forlike 20 minutes and then the
kind of just tossed it back inthe toy box.

Genesis (01:39:10):
I think definitely got any you know, all that's what I
was gonna say. Because thiscommercial reminded me. The
batteries not included taglinethat was on most of these. You
don't see that anymore? Well, atleast. I mean, probably on the
kids commercials. I guessthere's probably still toys that
say that. But that's somethingthat rings as nostalgia to me is
the batteries not includedthing? You ever get toys on

(01:39:31):
Christmas and your parentsforgot to get batteries for the
shit?

Rick (01:39:36):
No, no, no, I've never had that issue. You know?
Motherfucker. I mean, it's just,you know, I'm lucky. I have
parents who read directions whenthey said Batteries not
included. What

Genesis (01:39:50):
are you trying to say by saying that

Rick (01:39:52):
I'm just saying if I look, if you buy something for a
child, or if you buy somethingin just take two seconds to read
the box that What's your bottom?
It says on their batteries notincluded. You know?

Genesis (01:40:04):
Is this a problem you run into getting toys for your
kids? No. Or is this all likeUSB charged devices now?

Rick (01:40:10):
No, I mean for them when they get stuff it usually will
say one of the other batteriesnot included and I make sure I
buy the battery. Because I youknow,

Genesis (01:40:18):
I shut the fuck up. I

Rick (01:40:21):
was saying like, I don't know that's a bad excuse.

Sage (01:40:25):
So many batteries in his house growing up that he never
even saw the batteries notincluded movie.

Genesis (01:40:32):
They're on his mom's nightstand. Oh,

Rick (01:40:35):
well, you know, there were times where we didn't have
entries and my dad will tell youwar stories of how he'd go down
into his basement. And thebatteries were missing out over
the TV remote. He just couldn'tfind batteries.

Genesis (01:40:52):
I've definitely done that to my parents of stealing
the milk batteries.

Rick (01:40:58):
i You can hear my my dad had a powerful voice where you
could hear him on the secondfloor debate

Unknown (01:41:04):
where the batteries

Genesis (01:41:07):
took the batteries out.
You just hear bopping? Twins.

Sage (01:41:15):
necessities, you brought up batteries and remotes. I just
just bought back a trauma. I'mcurious, Jan if this happened to
you? You know what? You growingup in a white family? Okay. Have
you ever been just chilling inyour room? And then your mom
calls you to her room to handher the remote that's two feet

(01:41:37):
away.

Genesis (01:41:41):
I feel like that has happened to me. I can't recall
like a specific memory. But thatsounds so familiar.

Rick (01:41:50):
Know what, I'm convinced that a lot of you parents out
there we're just psychologicallytorturing you all. Neither of my
parents never did anything likethat. If they called me it was
because they actually needed totalk to me about something or I
was getting my ass beat forsomething like that.

Genesis (01:42:06):
They had the help to deliver everything for them. No,
no. Oh my goodness.

Sage (01:42:10):
She called me to get Hannah remote this two feet
away. Or she would call me intothe room like hey, give me a cup
of pot like

Genesis (01:42:21):
that I've definitely experienced I can recall
memories specifically for thattoo. I bet your mom calls you
now to drive over there. I wouldnot be surprised. This happened.

Rick (01:42:35):
She's gonna call him tomorrow. Hey, can you come over
real quick? I need your helpwith something. You walk in the
door remotes like five feetaway.

Sage (01:42:46):
They tried to get me to go out there to set up a fucking
fire stick who had a smart team

Rick (01:42:54):
hilarious Call Larry.

Genesis (01:42:57):
I've already told you this

Rick (01:43:01):
thing now I mean you have an idea where I live and how far
of a drive it is. I'm tired ofgoing out there if I have to set
up one more fucking fire sticklike I told my dad just buy a
smart TV man

Genesis (01:43:15):
we should all have smart TVs now by now.

Rick (01:43:19):
Yeah cheap exactly. I mean you can get I have all smart TVs
like come on

Genesis (01:43:29):
double the price of a fire stick and boom you got like
a decent Smart TV

Rick (01:43:33):
yeah you can get

Sage (01:43:34):
there they're so cheap it's like when all the cell
phone companies are switchingover from you know the cell
phones that we knew to the smartcell phones they were like Look
it's a free upgrade just get anew phone

Genesis (01:43:50):
well we have to go along with Bob it we've got kids
come to you with just

Unknown (01:44:06):
screaming and what's the very best thing very best
score

Sage (01:44:17):
they were tricking us into being working out

Genesis (01:44:24):
this was probably a godsend for parents across
America.

Sage (01:44:29):
The very best thing of all that was the best thing but okay

Genesis (01:44:39):
that's the marketing bullet point. If there's a
counter on it they honestlycould have just removed the
counter and we would have beenfine with the just fucking skip
it

Sage (01:44:50):
wouldn't have noticed at all.

Rick (01:44:53):
I wonder how many parents were like alright, you can play
but you got to do 100 skipand go out I definitely had one
of these grown up Yes. Loved itdoes not surprise me. Yeah.
Loved every second I had one ofthese two stages.

Sage (01:45:11):
Yeah, one in like every color though.

Genesis (01:45:17):
The gold plated one

Sage (01:45:19):
with my J's

Rick (01:45:21):
I've never owned a pair of Jordans ever. But I know me and
my sister had one. I think herswas pink and I think I had a
blue logical. Well blue is myfavorite color. So okay, my dad
may try everything. He was blue.

Genesis (01:45:40):
In the pink one

Rick (01:45:41):
year, although now boy.
Yeah, yeah.

Genesis (01:45:45):
You have to see if this is something that still exists.
Would your kids be interested ina toy like this an active toy?

Rick (01:45:51):
My youngest maybe? Yeah.
I'm looking at it on Amazon andthey have similar concept ones
but they're not exactly the sameTiger scaping. Yeah IBDP toys
skip it ankle toy. And it's itlooks the same. It's just this
instead of it being a ball onthe end, it's kind of like a

(01:46:11):
disk.

Genesis (01:46:15):
probably safer. These things fucking The thing was
heavy that little ball. You cantake somebody's ankles out with
that

Sage (01:46:21):
for sure. Yeah, we'll just some babies. Yeah, I

Rick (01:46:26):
don't remember ever like fucking myself up with it. I
actually hurt myself a lot withscooters more than anything. Oh
yeah, the razors. Razor. Yeah,had a razor

Genesis (01:46:39):
that came out one like we came in a little bit of
money. So like, my mom got usall razors when those came out.
That was glorious Christmas.

Sage (01:46:47):
I can't talk I had a dope ass BMX bike. So yeah, dude,

Rick (01:46:51):
I had a mongoose that was

Sage (01:46:57):
Chrome and go mongoose with rims and forego pegs on it.
I had a yellow mongoose had theGyrator on the front so I could
spend the fucking handlebars allthe way around.

Rick (01:47:09):
I had a fuck you in advance. But I had

Sage (01:47:14):
a I had a Rolls Royce.

Rick (01:47:16):
No. I had a red white and blue Mako

Genesis (01:47:21):
patriots.

Rick (01:47:22):
Patriots is dude. Yeah, red, white and blue. And then I
had a four black pegs.

Genesis (01:47:30):
The pegs are Game Changer chalk in

decades, you know,

Sage (01:47:59):
I don't know if I could see a rat with no hands. No.

Rick (01:48:03):
I would never do that.

Genesis (01:48:05):
Make sense?

Rick (01:48:08):
No, but it's actually a mongoose. Hmm, it was it's black
and yellow. I just bought twomonths, two or three months ago

some exercise. Sure.

Sage (01:48:29):
Um, be 30 some years old on a BMX bike.

Rick (01:48:34):
Your neck it's not it's not a BMX bike. Mine is more of
like a mountain bike it's shityeah,

Genesis (01:48:41):
I wouldn't get a BMX I would get a mountain bike for
sure. No I haven't No You gottafucking pedal.

Rick (01:48:49):
It was it was another brand though of BMX bike that I
because I had not seen it. Butyeah, have loosened a huffy

Sage (01:49:01):

it like it was a car.

Rick (01:49:07):
Yeah, man, you know, you gotta you gotta take care of the
baby. You know,

Genesis (01:49:11):
where you actually traveling far like, did you have
distance to go with it?

Rick (01:49:16):
I did. Yeah. But I live down the street, maybe two
blocks from rich east and weused to me and my friends used
to ride our bikes over to COysson shop or whatever. By the
train tracks between RichmondPark and Matson. And there's
like a pathway into the forest.
There were someone built like adirt ramp. And we would be
talking about

Sage (01:49:40):
the fairness of a road maybe to Seaton prairie familiar

Genesis (01:49:45):
scene in Prairie. Oh, yeah,

Sage (01:49:46):
that's gate. Hmm,

Rick (01:49:51):
okay. Okay. Yeah, do we use the random all the time?

Genesis (01:49:55):
We drill we ride our bikes to school a few times
where we would go from like thehouse governors all the way to
like we're south.

Sage (01:50:02):
So you know when I was in Dalton different story, I ride
my bike to fucking Riverdale.
The thorn that was all over thefucking place. Yeah,

Genesis (01:50:09):
but you had a decent fucking lock setup.

Sage (01:50:13):
We'd be like, shit Wait 1012 D

Rick (01:50:21):
we used to ride our bikes everywhere and I think the
furthest I'd ever gone to waswhen we lived near rich east we
drove our bike or we rode ourbikes to the mall what was it
Lincoln Mall? Yeah, that'sprobably the furthest Hi
everyone

Genesis (01:50:39):

Unknown (01:50:57):

remember that being somewhere. Ithink my cousin had one but No,
I never had one of these.

Sage (01:51:27):
Anything I've ever seen this into right now.

Genesis (01:51:29):
Oh really? Really? I think this was either like very
early 2000s I don't think thisis 90s though. I remember having
one of these in the gettingbored with it pretty quick. Like
because that's all it did itjust fucking like pump the
ground like it didn't

Rick (01:51:46):
it didn't do shit said it came out in 1983 83 No, yeah.
Pucci from Mattel 1983

Wow, okay. Oh wait, hold

Rick (01:51:58):

sure had different it's likeyeah, it's like

Unknown (01:52:05):
Okay girls

Rick (01:52:06):
cut Boy Yeah, the

Genesis (01:52:08):
Fuji electronic dog Tilly this says 99 on the
YouTube video

Rick (01:52:16):
No, you know on here on Wikipedia it says 2000 April 1
Two data.

Genesis (01:52:21):
Okay. Yeah, no, it was because like, I mean that
technology we weren't seeingthat like mid 90s came

Rick (01:52:28):
in 20 as $25

Sage (01:52:30):
but was there a counter on it? Right

Rick (01:52:36):
dude if being comes up one more damn time Yeah, you got it
that's the one that I was gonnatalk I was gonna say Stop stop
evildoers.

Unknown (01:52:57):
Yes, Stretch Armstrong now stretching fun farther than
ever before. He bends hestretches even ties and knots
but always returns to hisoriginal shape.
How does he do that?
He's been doing that since hewas a good Stretch Armstrong.

Sage (01:53:16):
Pointless?

Rick (01:53:18):
Dude, I had a Stretch Armstrong and I loved the shit
out of this.

Genesis (01:53:28):
This toy was looking great to

Sage (01:53:32):
play with it at school or friends that I don't think ever.

Rick (01:53:36):
Oh my goodness. I didn't even make a whole Cogan
variation

Genesis (01:53:39):
of this. Ah, yeah, kinda remember. Yeah, like a
wrestling line that says Oh,Colgan?

Sage (01:53:45):
Yeah,

Rick (01:53:46):
I count that. But dude, I played with that Stretch
Armstrong for so long until Ihit the age where I was more
curious about what was insidethan

Genesis (01:53:59):
I definitely took mine because like mine I got all I
remember this guy to mine camefrom a thrift store as well. So
like he wasn't brand new. He wasa little pre stretched. So he
wasn't he didn't go back to hisoriginal. Yeah. He's definitely
seen some shit and I Oh, yeah, Iremember like pulling his arm

(01:54:21):
off and like the goo that cameout. Like that tan translucent
like kind of translucent

Sage (01:54:27):
goo in there. Yeah,

Genesis (01:54:29):
it was like again, like a glue. Boo.

Rick (01:54:32):
Yeah, it was weird. It was cool though.

Genesis (01:54:36):
So I don't even know what I did with it. I think I
just stretched it right yeah

Rick (01:54:42):
it's super boring. Yeah, when you think about it now Oh,
cool. Is geeking stretch

Genesis (01:54:46):
Great. Hours later, like just

Sage (01:54:54):
minutes later

Genesis (01:54:57):
Now you fucked would stretch I was wrong.

Sage (01:55:00):
Cartoon. Yes, there was one

Genesis (01:55:03):
okay. I was trying to remember I was like I saw there
was a cartoon. But although thatactor in the commercial he
looked familiar to maybe I'mjust remembering the commercial
itself, but that guy lookedfamiliar as was there a live
action?

Sage (01:55:17):
I don't think there's a lot of action. Okay. Know what
would have made it dope though

Genesis (01:55:30):
that's where they went wrong. Oh, I

Rick (01:55:32):
just think of all the his billing that was just there on
the video. You're showing theright guy. I had him too. Yeah,
I

Genesis (01:55:39):
had this guy too. Oh, vacuum vac man. Home,

Rick (01:55:43):
man.

Genesis (01:55:45):
What else did you do with that little vacuum? Nothing
really?

Unknown (01:55:48):
Nothing. All right. All right. Remember

Rick (01:55:55):
this guy, his red guy.
His. His skin was different fromStretch Armstrong, right? He hit
like, you could feel like littletiny bones.

Genesis (01:56:03):
When you vacuum them up, it sucked in. And so like he
was like this textured materialacross his body. If you ever
have like a, like a JaneArmstrong, or some female
alternative name or market thatOh, remember to Stretch
Armstrong was a generationaltwist. That was something that
existed a long time ago. I'vehad to have like originated in

(01:56:26):
the 70s to write

Sage (01:56:27):
like pet rocks and sea monkeys. Chia, some of you that
weren't brought in a Chia theother day and I was like

Genesis (01:56:37):
I always wanted one of those. It's like, a character's
hair or skin.

Sage (01:56:45):
But it doesn't happen overnight. It takes weeks.

Genesis (01:56:51):
Now fucking Karen's just drink the stuff.

Rick (01:56:54):
He says in 1994. Disney was actually writing several
scripts for a movie aboutStretch Armstrong. I bet

Genesis (01:57:02):
that will come out in our lifetime. Oh, that's

Rick (01:57:07):
the script that they went with cast Tim Allen at Stretch
Armstrong.

Genesis (01:57:11):
Oh, wow. So you can kind of see that.

Sage (01:57:14):
DC is again a DC. Yes, DC they already got to a character
cutter last man. They don't needto stretch out.

Rick (01:57:22):
So check this out. They also consider Danny DeVito. But
it said he said he refused to dothe film if they made any jokes
about his height.

Genesis (01:57:34):
That's funny. I definitely can't picture Danny
DeVito as Stretch Armstrong.

Rick (01:57:43):
They try says they tried to redo another movie in 2008
that fell through and then theytried to do another one and
2014. So they just want

Sage (01:57:53):
to lose money? Because nobody's going to watch it.

Genesis (01:57:56):
I don't know if that would be tempted.

Rick (01:57:58):
Yeah. As of 21. To watch.
Yeah. As of 2013. Severalproduction studios started. They
had scheduled to start filming.
But both Studios decided to stopand work on other projects.

Genesis (01:58:11):
Did you say when it came out originally the Stretch
Armstrong toy?

Sage (01:58:15):
I mean, we got Mr.
Fantastic. We don't

Genesis (01:58:18):
know. But there's I mean, very different. It was not

Rick (01:58:22):
the cartoon you're talking about. It says they had a
Netflix cartoon. In 2017. No,yeah. It's called Stretch
Armstrong and the flex fighters.

Genesis (01:58:37):
I yeah, I don't I swear that wasn't my childhood though.
Yeah,

Rick (01:58:41):
no. 2017

Sage (01:58:43):
There was a cartoon from like the 90s or 80s.

Rick (01:58:47):
Maybe it was a guest star.
Keith David was in this. Jesus,Steven neum was in it. Felicia
Day it was a lot of decent namesand yeah. Wil Wheaton. All the
way they did two seasons. Thefirst season was 2017 and then
the second season was September2018.

Genesis (01:59:11):
So that's probably still on there

Sage (01:59:13):
is one cartoon from the 90s

Genesis (01:59:16):
was Mandela it's got to be a Mandela. That certain
turned down a couple of weeksago and now they fucking took
that cartoon away from us andput it into 2017 All right,
almost done here. Do you guysremember this?

Unknown (01:59:36):
balls have evolved over time but
now comes down farther flyingfootball in history.

Rick (01:59:42):
King a yeah,

Unknown (01:59:45):
this is the vortex and I'm gonna throw the vortex
farther than any football inhistory

Genesis (01:59:51):
can la

Unknown (01:59:57):
the farthest flying football in history
Oh you portrait now the vortex

Rick (02:00:03):
with its coos Yeah,

Genesis (02:00:07):
how long was the one I had?

Rick (02:00:09):
I definitely had. Yeah, one of those.

Genesis (02:00:13):
I think was so much fun,

Rick (02:00:15):
dude. Sodo tearing their hair that whistling sound?
Squirrel Yes.

Genesis (02:00:24):
I would buy one of those now that I feel like that
would be fun to play catch what?
Oh, for sure. Yeah. Man, JohnElway. He was the celebrity
during the 90s. Oh, yeah, he wasuh,

Rick (02:00:35):
I mean, you know, definitely considered one of the
greatest quarterbacks of alltime.

Genesis (02:00:40):
He was involved in a lot of I feel like a lot of
Nickelodeon shit was me. Like Iseen him on I don't know, maybe
not now I don't trust my memoryat all.

Rick (02:00:49):
No, I think you're right.
I think he was involved withNickelodeon a lot. Because I

Genesis (02:00:53):
didn't know fucking football back then. But I knew
John Elway

Sage (02:00:58):
fucking they had scrubbed me so

Genesis (02:01:01):
I'm not sure he's already I picked this one
specifically for you sagebecause I figured at least this
was sports related that youmight have really been down with
the vortex

Sage (02:01:13):
yeah football I used to play football is my day you send
it back and play catch and shootoff time with the vortex or with
the actual football but I didn'thave I didn't have I didn't have
vortex

Genesis (02:01:23):
Okay. Back here I wouldn't holler

Sage (02:01:27):
backyard wouldn't big enough to fucking throw a
vortex.

Genesis (02:01:32):
Yeah, you know, now that you mentioned that that was
like a problem. Like I alwayswanted to push it to its limit.
But I never had the space toactually launch it. We had one
field that had no house on it.
You could get some good distancethat we used to play football on
together. Remember the old housethat open plot of land that was
right across the street? Eventhat wasn't even big enough.

(02:01:53):
That was about two acres worthor something but it never felt
like it was enough. Cross StreetYeah, yeah. That's where we just
played the football matches onthere. He used to call me the
train.

Sage (02:02:09):
Little train that could I mean, what do you

Genesis (02:02:13):
actually don't well, this one here. That was the last
one I had but nerve weapons

Sage (02:02:20):
are the time to choose the I still love but they're they're
so much better now.

Genesis (02:02:30):
I know I'm so jealous of what nerf is today for a very
good hiding place.

Sage (02:02:40):
I have an automatic Nerf gun that takes like 70
batteries.

Genesis (02:02:44):
Damn, you better go to Rick's house

Sage (02:02:47):
thing I know right? He loved batteries they got nerve
snipers. They got nerve proseries that only they only
dropped like a small limitedrelease of because they have
whole Nerf gun competitions andshit.

Genesis (02:03:01):
Am the site that's alive and thriving right now. So
yeah, they get up there andprice. It same thing on the
waterside too. It's supersoakers Right? Like even those
today look amazing.

Sage (02:03:13):
Okay. Last time I even held a Super Soaker. Yeah, same
remember I had like littlebackpack Super Sunday. That was
fine.

Genesis (02:03:20):
Oh, that was the rich kid that had that.

Rick (02:03:24):
Not and I didn't ever had she like Yeah, I did.

Sage (02:03:29):
I did not have a pool. I had a was a sprinkler did water.

Unknown (02:03:36):
Slide didn't have

Rick (02:03:40):
to slip sighs we're dope.
I like how when you type slip,the slip knot was all in this.

Unknown (02:03:49):
Okay, everybody, come outside.
Ready for a wild ride.

Sage (02:03:57):
You can put it on your lawn. Turn the water on then you
run

Unknown (02:04:09):
on the plane when the screen goes all the way
comes with plastic slide andfasteners from whammo.

Sage (02:04:18):
whammo last time. I was on a slip inside it was seven years
ago.

Genesis (02:04:23):
Damn, that's pretty recent slide.

Sage (02:04:26):
It was all a bunch of adults, we set up some slipping
sides. And at the end, we had atable and we were doing slipping
slacks Lipica. Oh,

Genesis (02:04:35):
that sounds fun. So if what at what point? Did you like
was it if you'd lost? Yeah.

Sage (02:04:42):
Yeah. All right. Yeah, we were on teams. So your team had
to slip and slide back and forthand get your cup flipped on for
the other team.

Genesis (02:04:50):
That sounds like so much fun.

Rick (02:04:52):
That does sound like

Genesis (02:04:54):
I almost died on a slip and slide. Of course you did.
Because I set it up and like Soone side is textured to hit like
to stick on the ground so youdon't fly with it. And I had it
backwards or upside down and Iran to go jump on it and fucking
just plopped right under theground. I coughed up blood. I

(02:05:16):
thought I was done

Rick (02:05:18):
you coughed up blood

Sage (02:05:20):
from a slip and Hi

Genesis (02:05:22):
Joe I fucking Tywin for it

Rick (02:05:27):
I feel like there's more YOUR FAULT than the slides

Genesis (02:05:33):
blame on that I just went up and down did not slide
there was no slips no slidesthere was just fall water on
first. No, I think it wasactually in the snow. I was
trying it out on the snowthinking back in but it was a

(02:05:54):
million times my fault.

Sage (02:05:56):
Yeah, so when in your 20s that this happened?

Genesis (02:06:00):
No, I think I was 15 Damn Yeah, still a little older
than you probably admitting toand I was alone I wasn't even
what wait till nobody

Rick (02:06:12):
didn't have it that time where you did not who plays on
the slip and slide

Sage (02:06:23):
that went in your bank by yourself like it happened but
nobody ever has to know

Genesis (02:06:28):
you know I just feel comfortable enough to expose
this thing and the memories werejust kind of coming as I was
telling the story and I didn'thave time to edit it myself I
don't even think I told anybodyit because I was in so much pain
but I was also embarrassed solike I didn't even tell my mom I
was like coughing up blood fromit

Sage (02:06:50):
had you died no worse way type of story

Rick (02:06:58):
right what would they tell about your tragic demise like
what would they say? Just youknow how

Genesis (02:07:05):
to flip no that was not the way that I wanted to go.
That was rough. Yeah, I can feelthat right now. Like the memory
pain

Sage (02:07:18):
can slip inside. Yeah.

Genesis (02:07:21):
So that was all the toy commercials I had lined up for
us is there any last minute onesthat you sparked that you want
to throw in there real quick?

Sage (02:07:31):
I had this once way when I was a kid. I think it was called
alcohol

Genesis (02:07:40):
there was one I was trying to find it was this it
was like creepy crawlies thatyou would you could make the
things to eat. And remember likethere was like a liquid that you
could drink to but it was thiswhole like kit. Yeah, I

Sage (02:07:50):
remember what you're talking about. I don't remember
the name of it. I couldn't

Genesis (02:07:53):
find it. It was like almost like an easy bake oven
for boys but it was like madscientists like experiment shit
that you did as well. Which doyou remember the metal fucking
creepy crawlies like you likeand like it made the cat like

(02:08:14):
the diecast creepy crawlies Iswear it was a creepy crawly
brand I mean that should that'sprobably too dangerous for kids.

Sage (02:08:23):
Do what the hell was it?
You got me wondering now

Genesis (02:08:26):
so you might have had that you think I remember seen
it I

Sage (02:08:29):
don't know if I had it though. The dangerous I think
thing makers what you'rethinking of in your maker with
the metal. I see. Yeah. If themaker right yeah.

Genesis (02:08:42):
Oh, yeah. The creepy collars thing maker said this is
exactly it.

Sage (02:08:46):
And the first caption says dangerously hot

Genesis (02:08:57):
LinkedIn 50s makeup this could have been a thrift
store pickup.

Unknown (02:09:02):
And the electric plug.
Right in the shower. Holy shit.
Go.

Genesis (02:09:11):
You can tell them there. Looks like that was the
plastic one but

Rick (02:09:17):
that voice do that sound like okay, it's it's another
your mom's house thing. Oh, thatsounds like it has.

Genesis (02:09:27):
It could have been.

Rick (02:09:29):
No, not that it has not been an ad. Oh,

Sage (02:09:32):
here it is. Dr. Dreadfuls Food Lab.

Genesis (02:09:36):
Dr. Dreadfuls. Oh, wait a minute. Yes, the fucking
skeleton skull. That's it. Thisis it.

Unknown (02:09:49):
Dr. Dre. And this is the Dr. Gribble bootleg makes
lots of gross things in the newweek in the new month. A tasty
tarantula you can makeand now magic powder
stir and the doctor drip of foodled mix boosts things again and

(02:10:14):
again

Genesis (02:10:18):
that thing the potion that you made I can still
remember the that taste it wasgross but it was so cool. It
fucking bubbled. Yeah like thislike this. This is a little head
over here just bubbling overlike the red potion. That was
fire. Oh,

Sage (02:10:34):
you can buy one right now.
$150 But the candy mixesexpired. No shit.

Genesis (02:10:42):
I mean, you won't die right?

Sage (02:10:43):
It was expired when you bought the motherfucker. Let's
be

Rick (02:10:46):
there. Oh, I there's no way I would ever eat shit like
that. Like you buy some expiredcandy from like 40 years ago.
Are you out of your mind?

Genesis (02:10:59):
For Halloween? Once I moved back, we're just gonna
make for Dr. Dreadful foods.

Sage (02:11:05):
They have a new version of it called Incredible Edibles.

Genesis (02:11:09):
Maybe we'll go with that one since it's probably
safe. That one's 30 bucks. Andcheaper too. So I like that
idea.

Rick (02:11:18):
So anyway, I just thought about it when you move out this
way. We can do a live recordingmost drunk or on edibles. Do a
whole topic on edibles. Sure.
While on it I feel like you're

Genesis (02:11:33):
the one that's going to be taking the risk because
you're not tolerant to that kindof stuff

Rick (02:11:38):
all known do Yeah, and that'll be maybe I'll save
myself for that'd be my firsttime

Genesis (02:11:45):
in sage

Rick (02:11:49):
No, that's definitely gonna have but I'm curious as to
how I'm gonna be might bedropping in bombs and shit. I
don't know.

Sage (02:12:01):
I will 500

Genesis (02:12:06):
There we go. Little walk down the path of the toys
that made us I don't know I lovegoing back and seeing some of
this old shit. You know, the oldTV jingles are just that stuff
brings you back brings you backto the simpler times back in my
day. And now Rick's gonna bebroke from buying re buying all

(02:12:27):
this shit again. But I amcurious though, if you do end up
getting them goosebump books orany of these things? I want to
know how they react to the toysfrom our childhood. You know?

Sage (02:12:39):
I don't have kids so I can't chime in on that. Yeah.

Rick (02:12:43):
Okay, yeah, I already bought three of the Goosebumps
books nice. And then I amthinking about getting not Bob
it but skip it. Yeah, thinkingabout getting
