Mind The Gap: Testing Our GenX Trivia Knowledge
Michelle Newman 0:00
Okay, you guys know my ultimate comfort watch is a Hallmark movie, right? Oh yeah. I mean, give me a small town winter festival, a gazebo, and Lacy Chabert trying to save a family bakery, and I am entirely in my happy place.
Kristin Nilsen 0:15
Truth that totally screams Michelle. I'm pretty sure you have your own personal Hallmark bingo card memorized at this point.
Carolyn Cochrane 0:22
I do. I totally do. They are pure joy, though, and I just love them. Well, then, you guys, you are going to lose your minds when you find out what is in the mail this month in those Valpat blue envelopes. We all get those, right?
Kristin Nilsen 0:37
Yeah.
Carolyn Cochrane 0:38
And I can't wait for mine to arrive because it's how I'm getting to learn the area too. I'm like, oh, a restaurant coupon. I offer this new restaurant. Yes, so those are a lot of fun.
Michelle Newman 0:48
Yeah, I always grab that out of the mailbox right away to look for the local pizza deals. But what does that have to do with Hallmark?
Carolyn Cochrane 0:54
Well, that's the best part, you guys, because Valpak's Blue Envelope has way more than coupons this month. Valpak and Hallmark are actually teaming up for this massive collaboration. You don't want to miss it.
Kristin Nilsen 1:06
Yes, and people, listen, turn over the envelope because that's where you'll see that they are running a sweepstakes. That's such a '70s word, right? A sweepstakes where you can enter for a chance to win. Please, just wait for it-a walk-on role in an upcoming Hallmark original movie.
Michelle Newman 1:27
Stop it! Are you serious?
Carolyn Cochrane 1:30
Wait, wait! I could be the lady in the background buying hot cocoa while Lacy has a meet cute with a handsome flannel-wearing lumberjack. Exactly, and it's an amazing package. So it's not just the walk-on role. Okay, you get a full behind-the-scenes experience on set. Oh my gosh! And what if we were real? Like somebody was really clever and good, and they actually gave us this little speaking part. They said, "Oh, excuse me. Anyway, I digress. Okay, plus you get travel for yourself and a guest. So, listeners, if you enter and happen to win, we happen to know some people that might want to visit with you. And it gets better for those of you who are Hallmark super fans.

You can get a whole year of Hallmark Plus for just $39 when you use the promo code Valpak paris@hallmarkplus.com Wait, $39
Michelle Newman 2:30
for the whole year? Yes, for the whole year. Okay, I'm literally signing up for that as soon as we finish recording today. But wait, but then how do the listeners enter to win the movie role, do do they have to wait for that blue envelope to come in the mail?
Carolyn Cochrane 2:44
Nope, no waiting necessary. You can go right online and enter valpack.com/walk on.
Michelle Newman 2:52
Okay, valpack v a l p a k.com/walk on one word w a l k o n done. I'm entering, and if I win, I'm taking one of you as my guest. But I get to stand closest to the fake snow.
Carolyn Cochrane 3:09
How are we going to decide which one you take?
Michelle Newman 3:11
I don't know.
Carolyn Cochrane 3:12
We'll arm wrestle, Kristen.
Michelle Newman 3:14
Whoever bakes the best gingerbread house gets to go with me. Can we buy it? Have a good
Kristin Nilsen 3:20
time, Carolyn.
Michelle Newman 3:21
So make sure everyone to go check this out. Head over to valpack.com/walkon to enter today, and make sure to check out the new Hallmark Plus exclusive limited series. Paris is always a good idea, starring our queen Lacy Chabert, and it's streaming july 30. When was the very last time we stuck a pencil in a tape and rewound it or wound it? We didn't even know. We didn't. When's the last time you pushed the buttons on your cassette player and heard that just satisfying sound?
Carolyn Cochrane 4:14
Welcome to the Pop Culture Preservation Society, the podcast for people born in the big wheel generation who knew what a garden hose tastes like on a 90-degree day? We believe our Gen X childhoods gave us unforgettable songs, stories, characters, and images.
Michelle Newman 4:28
And if we talk about them, they'll disappear, like Marshall, Will, and Holly on the 18 Expedition. And today we're testing our Latchkey Kid credentials and yours with a fierce game of Gen X trivia. I'm Carolyn. I'm Kristen, and I'm Michelle, and we are your pop culture preservationists. If you know anything about us here at the Pop Culture Preservation Society, you know. We absolutely love to play games and try to stump ourselves, but honestly, that's impossible, right? You guys, we can't. We're so yeah. And it's been a hot minute since we've played a game, so we are well overdue. Plus, summer episodes. Am I right?
Kristin Nilsen 5:18
That's right. Easy peasy,
Michelle Newman 5:19
easy peasy, and fun, and fun, yeah, and cool, yes, cool, exactly. Both of you want to get overheated. No, but also cool, like cool, cool. Yeah, either way, it's it works. It's a double, yeah, double means both ways, right? So today we're going to test our Gen X knowledge and yours with some of the questions from the Gen X deck of the board game Mind the Gap, which is such a great game. And Kristen, you introduced me to this game. Yes, years ago, you had it. It's a board game, you guys, that has card decks specifically written for four generations, and they are so cute. Each card deck is actually like has an image on it that kind of reflects that generation. So, for instance, the Boomer card deck has like a Pink Floyd type of album album cover. The different
Kristin Nilsen 6:12
side of the moon. Yeah, the
Michelle Newman 6:14
Gen X deck is a cassette tape
Kristin Nilsen 6:17
with with handwriting, like sharpies. Yes, yeah. The Millennial is
Michelle Newman 6:21
like an OG iPod, right? And it's like the light blue, and the Gen Z deck looks like like the home screen of an iPhone. Sad, I know, right?
Kristin Nilsen 6:33
Sad.
Michelle Newman 6:33
And the type it's it's just a type of game that is perfect to pull out, especially during the holidays when you might have multiple generations at your house, you might have grandma there, you know your parents are there, your kids are there. We played it one time with just us, and then our millennial daughter. She's right on the cusp, though, of millennial Gen Z because she's 1995 But then my Gen Z daughter and her college roommate came, and you guys, her college roommate, kind of schooled all of us on the boomer questions. She's like brilliant, and it was like all of the like history headlines. She kept knowing, and you can you can. One thing I love is if you read the rules of this game, it's kind of like there's no rules. The rules are like have fun. You can because because you know we were all concerned. Like, are we supposed to play generation against generation? Are we supposed to mix it up? The rules are like
Kristin Nilsen 7:31
opposite. Yeah, yeah. The rules are like do
Michelle Newman 7:32
what you want. So we
Kristin Nilsen 7:34
ideally you have like one person from every generation on your team. So there's always an expert.
Michelle Newman 7:39
Yes, because when otherwise, like Brian and I killed all the Gen X questions, and it's just so funny to us when you ask a question like, you know, who played the mom on the Brady Bunch or something, it is so funny to watch the other generations go, they don't know, Barbra
Kristin Nilsen 7:59
Streis,
Michelle Newman 8:00
yeah, exactly, they don't know. So, but then the other generations, there would be questions Brian and I would get from like Gen Z, and you know, my daughters and my daughter's roommate are just screaming at us because Brian and I are going, we don't know who sang that song. Why answers
Kristin Nilsen 8:17
Drake? I don't know it. Yes, don't know it. So it's
Michelle Newman 8:20
fun to do either way. We've actually just gotten the cards out before and ditched the board, and just kind of like at dinner or something had fun asking questions. But it's a great game. It's called Mind the Gap. It's available anywhere you buy games. Can
Carolyn Cochrane 8:33
I just ask you something because when you first said, you know, there really aren't any rules, and you were talking about the rules, and I immediately like my heart started going really fast because I need rules. Like I need rules, and then if you're not following them, I'm going to call you out on it. There needs to be some, you know, some guardrails, people. Okay, so I hope that when we play today, there are some kind of rules so that Kristen isn't like you know just shouting the answers willy nilly, gets all the points. No, that is not fair. It has to be fair. There have to be guards. I just want to
Michelle Newman 9:06
read to you exactly from the rules from my box. Here's a couple of the ones. There are rules, like it'll say play goes this way and whatever. But here's a couple. Choose a team to go first. Youngest, oldest, best looking. Whoever rolls the highest, we don't really care how you do this. No, that's one of them.
Kristin Nilsen 9:22
Whoever rolls the highest, and then can't take it. Then
Michelle Newman 9:25
at the end it says house rules. If you're playing with friends and none of them are from a particular generation, feel free to disregard that generation. Of course, you can play through it, but you could also slide past it or double up on another generation. And then it's like we want you to have a great time playing, so bend the rules to make it the most enjoyable game possible, Carolyn shaking her head. No,
Kristin Nilsen 9:44
no. We so we
Michelle Newman 9:46
did find out that, like Kristen, you said earlier, having you know, even if it's only two person teams, maybe you have them from different generations. Otherwise, one generation is just going to clean up. Yeah, you know, right away. And it's not fun because,
Kristin Nilsen 10:00
like, it's not fun. And remember how you play a game and grandma doesn't know anything, and then that makes grandma feel dumb, and then everybody feels bad for grandma. But in this game, grandma can be one of the experts, and so everybody has equal mastery.
Carolyn Cochrane 10:12
Yeah,
Kristin Nilsen 10:13
everybody in the family has the opportunity. But I was laughing, Carolyn, because when you when you're talking about things needing to be fair, because otherwise Kristen's gonna steal. It's not. This is just how I operate, and I have to tell you this story because my hi Martha, my friend Martha, she's a college friend of mine. She's she's out there, and we were in French class together freshman year and in college. And this is how we worked. The teacher would ask the question. We would we would have our hand raised before she asked the question, and then we would be looking like looking in our books with our hands raised, and we would have the answer by the time she called us called on us. And at one point, the teacher says, "Would somebody like to raise their hands besides Kristen and Martha? So that's what we're dealing with, people. And I'm going to work hard to just you know, take a chill pill and just when I taught
Michelle Newman 11:03
fourth grade, you were a little girl named Laura Rodriguez.
Kristin Nilsen 11:07
I see you, Laura. I see you, Laura. I will say,
Michelle Newman 11:11
okay, each card has five categories. They are TV, film, pop culture, music, headlines, and slang and slogans, and what's fun is on each different generation card, those are identified by a different icon that matches that you know that generation. So, for instance, in the Gen X, on the Gen X cards, TV film is a VHS tape. That's the top one. That's
Kristin Nilsen 11:40
weird. That would be movies, but whatever. I'm not gonna. Yeah, right.
Michelle Newman 11:43
Pop culture looks like those little '80s glasses with like the little stripes, you know, the line set up. I'm so glad you're music is a cassette tape. Headlines is a little. It almost looks like a little computer. It looks like a
Kristin Nilsen 11:56
computer monitor.
Michelle Newman 11:57
Yeah, and slang and slogans
Kristin Nilsen 11:59
like a like a talking head, but they should have just made it a TV. But
Michelle Newman 12:02
for instance, like in Boomer, the the headlines category is notated with a little newspaper, which is cute. And then music for Boomers is a record album. Pop culture is a roller skate. TV film is a TV. But anyway, then for Gen X, slang and slogans is like the old school, the giant first like cordless telephone with the antenna. Now, slang and slogans we don't like to play in our family because they're very subjective. They're very like things that there's a lot of questions that we're like, no, that's not right. It could be this too, right? For me, the one that's really hard for me to get, and I'm embarrassed to say, even in the gen on the Gen X cards is headlines because I never was like a headlines type of girl. Like what's happening in the world,
Kristin Nilsen 12:46
but I do like to ask them just to see.
Michelle Newman 12:49
Okay, now before we begin, we need to lay down a few house rules, Carolyn, for you. Thank you. So we don't end up listening. Yeah, so we don't end up.
Kristin Nilsen 12:57
Just to be clear, I'm not cheating. I'm just looking ahead in the book. Well, listen to these rules, okay?
Michelle Newman 13:02
Well, because of Kristen, this is how we're going to play this game, because we also don't want to all end up in a big playground fight that gets us sent to the principal's office. Everyone must write their answer down on a piece of paper before we reveal the actual answer. So you're keeping score for yourself because then we're going to read the answer, and you have to be, you know, on your best honor guard, right? To like say yes, I got that right, or no, I didn't get that right.
Kristin Nilsen 13:27
Not Jeopardy rules. We're not buzzing in. You have to be the first person so I can put my hand down. Yes,
Michelle Newman 13:33
please put. You know, sit on it. Just sit on it, Krista.
Carolyn Cochrane 13:36
This will actually be really nice. This is a reprieve. You're not kidding. My blood pressure just went down, like yes points,
Michelle Newman 13:42
and because Kristen and I own both own this game, we are going to be going back and forth reading the questions. So our scores will be divided by two since we're only playing half the game. Does that make sense?
Carolyn Cochrane 13:53
You mean multiplied by two? No.
Michelle Newman 13:56
Oh well. Oh yeah. I guess multiplied by two, right? I don't know. I don't really care. Because I'm going to have to ask as
Carolyn Cochrane 14:01
many questions.
Michelle Newman 14:02
Yes, I'm going to just have fun. But yes, yes. Actually,
Kristin Nilsen 14:05
you know what? There are no winners here. It's just going to compare and contrast. Yes, there are. We're just going to see. We're going to compare and contrast our numbers. Okay. Okay. We're practically at you know multiply it by two, but nobody, everybody gets a trophy.
Michelle Newman 14:18
I was just about to say we're playing millennial rules, where we all get participation trophies, right? Okay, so
Kristin Nilsen 14:24
it's a trophy.
Michelle Newman 14:25
So now, listeners, listeners, those of you playing wherever you are right now, if you're out on your walk, your run, if you're folding your laundry doing the dishes, if you're in the car driving, be shouting out the answers. If you can't write them down right now, just shout them out and keep score mentally for yourself. First thing you out there walking their dog and just be like W O K L B. Okay, I'm gonna start. Ready? Okay, I'm gonna take and also you guys. These are I feel like the the Gen X cards are pretty easy. I pulled a couple from the Boomer deck too. Because I know we have boomers, and also a lot of the boomer stuff are reruns we watched or things we might know. Sure, I started trying to pull stuff from the Millennial Deck, and I was like, I don't not know. I don't know that. I don't, you know, I don't know those questions.
Kristin Nilsen 15:13
Well, and also, if it seems too easy, just hold on because there's a wide variety of difficulties in these questions, so the first one I'm going to ask is really, really easy, and you're going to be like, "Oh, this game sucks. No, no, just hold on. Yeah, you got to just
Michelle Newman 15:27
hold on. Same, same with me. Okay, because here we go. We're going to start with a slow ball. Is that what they call it? Fast pitch, slow ball, whatever. I don't know. It's a ball. It's a softball. I think it's a softball. That's a good
Kristin Nilsen 15:38
softball. That was your first question.
Michelle Newman 15:41
Is that a cocaine
Carolyn Cochrane 15:44
term or something? A crack term, like a ball, speed ball. There's a speed ball.
Kristin Nilsen 15:50
A ball. Okay. See, we don't do drugs, so we're not good at these. Yeah, no drugs.
Michelle Newman 15:55
Most of mine are from TV film. Okay. What TV series from 1978 to 1982 starred Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno as two sides to the same man. Can you hear my pencil?
Carolyn Cochrane 16:13
You're using a pencil. That's pretty. No, I'm using a yellow legal pad. How about that?
Kristin Nilsen 16:16
We are so animal. And here's my fancy drew pencil. Look, it's a here's a page from the book. Oh, that's so you accept that from my friend Colleen. Thank you, Colleen. That is adorable.
Michelle Newman 16:28
Okay, now this will be fun. Now I can have one of you who would like to share the answer. I don't have to share the answer because I do
Kristin Nilsen 16:34
it, Carolyn.
Michelle Newman 16:35
Yeah, Carolyn, what's the answer?
Carolyn Cochrane 16:36
The answer would be the incredible Hulk.
Michelle Newman 16:39
Correct. Good job! Score a point.
Carolyn Cochrane 16:42
Okay, one for me. Yay
Kristin Nilsen 16:44
me! Okay, so my next one is from VHS tape. On what popular '80s family sitcom would you find Alex, Mallory, Jennifer, and later, Boo Andrew Keaton? Why? He was a he was a couple.
Carolyn Cochrane 17:03
Didn't they ever get a clue that that just wasn't that doesn't work? That was only in season two.
Michelle Newman 17:07
Also, she was pregnant in season two. It was came early. Well, she has the baby at the end. I know it's very early. Oh my god,
Carolyn Cochrane 17:14
barely remember that part. Okay, obviously we know the answer then. Family ties. Yay.
Michelle Newman 17:19
Okay, I am gonna do a question from headlines, Gen X headlines, everyone. But don't be scared. I'm not scared. I know that was a that was a clue to my question. Are you ready? What nickname was given to serial killer David Berkowitz, a New York City postal worker?
Carolyn Cochrane 17:52
Man, those postal workers-they are bad news. I mean, sorry, say it. Sorry if you're a postal worker, but you know, no offense, postal workers. But you know, like I mean, that's become a slang thing. Like it is. You've got most positive right now. I know. Yeah. Okay.
Michelle Newman 18:08
Okay, Krista.
Kristin Nilsen 18:08
That's a Gen X term. That's a Gen X term. If that comes up later, we're all winning. That's right. No, what
Michelle Newman 18:14
was the answer?
Kristin Nilsen 18:15
Son of Sam.
Michelle Newman 18:16
Correct. Ding ding. Yes.
Carolyn Cochrane 18:17
I'm getting 100 so far. But we're not counting original winners.
Kristin Nilsen 18:24
Okay, next in sunglasses, which I think is that pop culture. I think that's sunglasses. Okay, pop culture. Yeah. Okay, what term originally about an area in California was applied to any young female who was ditzy, shallow, materialistic, and had a limited vocabulary. Michelle, what did you get for an answer? I put the valley, or also known as Carolyn, a person. The person. Oh, the person. Oh, valley girl. Valley girl. Oh, I thought you said what
Michelle Newman 19:00
area of California? Oh, sorry.
Kristin Nilsen 19:03
Yeah, you know what? I was reading ahead. Yes, I do. You
Michelle Newman 19:08
have to listen to the question. Sorry, I'm doing. I'm playing two roles here. I was reading ahead to my next question.
Kristin Nilsen 19:14
Although, if we were on on Jeopardy right now, that's true.
Michelle Newman 19:17
That's true. I didn't listen. Okay, I'm gonna do. I am gonna mix some things up, and I'm gonna go with slang slogans for pop culture. Okay, here we go. Let's get Mikey. He hates everything. He likes it. So, what did Mikey like?
Carolyn Cochrane 19:33
Oh, sorry. Mikey liked life cereal.
Michelle Newman 19:36
He did like life cereal. Good job.
Kristin Nilsen 19:38
Yay! I gotta tell you, it is so hard not to say it out loud. It is. I'm like life cereal. Okay, next is cassette tape. Remember when malls were a thing? What singer performed "The Beautiful You" celebrating the Good Life Shopping Mall Tour '87? I didn't know about the beautiful you part. I got to tell you, celebrating the Good Life Shopping Mall tour '87. That makes a lot. That's
Michelle Newman 20:11
the that's the part that clued me in. I don't I didn't know beautiful you, but I feel like I got it right. But Carolyn, what is the answer? Tiffany, yes, it is. Yes, I said. I got a good
Kristin Nilsen 20:22
shoe from you. It's so funny because when like that is definitely in our wheelhouse, but at the time I was like, oh, that's for kids,
Carolyn Cochrane 20:31
right?
Kristin Nilsen 20:31
I was like 17. Yeah, but but it was for 14 year olds, so it wasn't. I thought that too. Yeah, yeah.
Michelle Newman 20:37
But man, she was everywhere. Mall family, and then
Carolyn Cochrane 20:41
that was just a a time in our culture where they would go to everybody went to a mall, like performers went to malls. Yeah,
Kristin Nilsen 20:49
it was like having a book tour. You had a mall tour. Yes, even John Travolta. Remember what episode was it when we were talking about John Travolta and his album? He was offered a mall tour, and he said no because he wanted to prepare for Greece, I wish I had the answer to that. That would be a question, but yeah, that was a thing. And I had a friend who everybody has a friend who worked at Music Land, right? And you'd get all this information about these new artists, and so she was all excited about this new artist named Tiffany, and she was just a little girl. She was like two years younger than us. She was just a little girl. Did
Carolyn Cochrane 21:20
you guys have a store in your mall or a shop or I don't know what you would call it, but where you could go in and record a song? It was like there was a sound booth, and then you came out and you got the cassette tape, but you were like where the headphones. And I made Andy. Oh God, you made him do like the bells of St. Mary's or some Christmas song. Maybe that's probably an exaggeration, but it was some like Christmas song I made him do. It's not like
Michelle Newman 21:45
she was like, "Go ahead and sing open arms to me. No, he's not belly. Merry. No, it was
Carolyn Cochrane 21:52
that was a little bit of an exaggeration, but it was some kind of Christmas song that I really liked, like "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" or something.
Kristin Nilsen 22:00
Oh, that's because he's a good
Carolyn Cochrane 22:01
voice. We're used to anyway. We're
Kristin Nilsen 22:03
gonna we're gonna hear that voice. We're gonna someday we're gonna do a karaoke party where we get to see this magnificent town.
Michelle Newman 22:08
Okay, I'm gonna go. We're gonna test Carolyn's knowledge on headlines since she wanted me to do headlines from Gen X in 1979. Where in the United States did a nuclear power plant accident occur that spread fear about a possible disaster? You guys, okay,
Carolyn Cochrane 22:29
I'm going to tell you because it's Three Mile Island. Oh, you guys, wait, wait! I didn't get to answer.
Kristin Nilsen 22:34
Or were you there yet? Oh, never mind. Go ahead.
Carolyn Cochrane 22:36
Sorry. Oh, I thought you already were. No, I couldn't. I couldn't contain it because you got. Hello, Kristen. Sorry, you guys. Your name, Kristen. In 1979, I was like, "Where is that? Like, it was so far away. Whatever. You guys, I can see it from the airport here in Harrisburg. It's right. It's in my backyard. Are you? Yes. No. I can see the you know the stack thingies or whatever they are that we remember seeing on TV. Yes. That's why I got so excited. I'm sorry, everybody.
Kristin Nilsen 23:03
I'm gonna give it to you because I respect that excitement. Yes.
Carolyn Cochrane 23:06
So there's like when you're driving to the airport, you kind of go over like a you are on an elevated part of the freeway or whatever, and that's when you can see it. And when someone told me before I'd been in that part of the town, I thought, "Are you kidding me? I live that close to Three Wild Island, and I think there's talk of maybe like right, like redoing some of these nuclear plants. I don't know,
Kristin Nilsen 23:27
reigniting them or yeah, or whatever. If I'm you, Carolyn, I'm moving. This is we can't stay here anymore. Okay, but tell me, in because we're talking about headlines, where was Love Canal?
Carolyn Cochrane 23:40
That's a good question. If you really want to know, I
Michelle Newman 23:43
don't know if I can mention it on the podcast, but okay. Oh, that's a good
Kristin Nilsen 23:50
question because we would have been too young for Love Canal jokes at the time of the Love Canal thing. But now I'm like, did they make fun of that? But we wouldn't have gotten it, right? Probably
Carolyn Cochrane 24:02
gone. Yeah, that would have gone over my head. It just almost went over my head, Michelle. Kind of got it, but um, yeah. Where was that? I don't want to find out. I don't know. I feel
Kristin Nilsen 24:12
like it was California,
Michelle Newman 24:13
and I certainly don't want to Google it. You know? Oh God, that's right. You
Kristin Nilsen 24:17
can't even Google it. You'd have to do like Love Canal news stories. Right. Right. Right. Oh boy. Okay. Okay. My turn. We are on to headlines. We do another another headline. Oh, this is interesting, and this is an easier question than you think. And I will help you. I will help you.
Carolyn Cochrane 24:34
I won't. And I can't
Kristin Nilsen 24:35
even tell you a year, but I'd be really curious to see what year this is. Why were Brits not crazy about eating hamburgers in the 1980s? They should have said a year. They should have said in 1989. I feel like it was 1989.
Carolyn Cochrane 24:52
I have no idea what year it was, but I think I know the answer. I don't care,
Kristin Nilsen 24:56
Carolyn. What do you think it is?
Carolyn Cochrane 24:57
Are you sure? Do you want me? Is it mad cow disease? It is mad cow disease.
Michelle Newman 25:01
I that doesn't. It's got to be the late '80s. I mean, because that was linked to Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease, which is what tragically my mother-in-law died of, and then and then Brian's best friend, you know, later CJD, and they always think there's always a suspicion. Now it's been a little bit more debunked, but not entirely because of all the other types of diseases that are happening in deer and all this kind of stuff. Okay, let's move on to a happier question. Music. Let's do music. Okay. Name the song slash video that launched MTV. If you know it, Kristen, what is it? The Buggles radio video killed the radio star. Ding ding, correct.
Carolyn Cochrane 25:44
You didn't ask us to do the the performer, did you? It was just the no,
Michelle Newman 25:48
just the song. Oh wow! I don't know.
Kristin Nilsen 25:52
Yeah, if you know it, say. I think
Carolyn Cochrane 25:55
if you give too much information, then you should lose point.
Kristin Nilsen 25:58
Absolutely not. I have information that I need to share with the world, or I might die. I told an astrologer told me that one time that I needed to share information, or I might die. Well, that's how it
Carolyn Cochrane 26:09
feels sometimes, doesn't it? Like that's why I blurted out Three Mile Island. It was very urgent. And
Kristin Nilsen 26:15
this is the same astrologer. Mostly, I was going to this astrologer because Liam was four, and he was driving me crazy with his questions. I'm not even kidding. There were so many questions that is like I couldn't stand up straight. And at one point, I said to him, "I was like Liam, I just don't know. And he says, "How come you don't know so many things? And I know, so he was like draining me dry of all of my energy. And she said to me, "He will die if you don't answer his questions. Like, think of him as like the the court messenger in in medieval times, and it's his job to bring the messenger and ask the questions and get the information from people and deliver it to the king. And if he doesn't deliver the information to the king, he doesn't get the information. It will be off of his head. So this is vital information. You have to answer his questions. Oh
Carolyn Cochrane 27:04
gosh. Okay. You
Kristin Nilsen 27:05
don't know so many things. Oh
Carolyn Cochrane 27:07
gosh. I can't imagine that was probably a little trigger for you. Yeah. Your little girl self was like, yeah,
Kristin Nilsen 27:13
I know a lot of things. Well, because he's asking question like, what is what is the sharpest thing in the world that is not a knife? Like, how do you answer that? I would have said my mind. Yeah, go look it up yourself. That's what my mom always said. Go look. Go look it up. Yeah, have the internet think
Carolyn Cochrane 27:30
about that. But for us, it was like I don't know. Go to the encyclopedia or something. Go look it up. That's what it was.
Michelle Newman 27:36
Yeah, and we didn't like Google it and go to the library. Yeah, it wasn't Google. Google the card catalog and look it up. Look it up. We had a whole shelf of encyclopedias, the whole set. We did, and it was like I used those so often. All the time. Plus, you probably had the good kind,
Carolyn Cochrane 27:53
like the World Book ones, like the legit. Yeah, we have
Michelle Newman 27:57
our. We had Funk
Carolyn Cochrane 27:58
and Wagner. Yes, that's exactly what we had.
Kristin Nilsen 28:00
Funk and wag, and my mom got it at the
Carolyn Cochrane 28:03
grocery store. It was like each week, you know how like you could get the place settings
Kristin Nilsen 28:07
of of
Carolyn Cochrane 28:08
China. I wonder, but it was like you brought your receipts for every you know $25 you got, and each week it was a different letter of the alphabet. You know, it was like the A. I wonder
Michelle Newman 28:16
if that's how we got it because I do remember not always having all of them.
Carolyn Cochrane 28:20
It was like the free spirit bike, and you know my fake everything. It was like not a legit encyclopedia, and I was so mad. My
Kristin Nilsen 28:28
parents got a full set of encyclopedias as a wedding gift from my grandparents. That is so classic, isn't it?
Carolyn Cochrane 28:37
Not from because those the world book that was like a door to door salesman, and I remember they came to school. Do you guys did this happen to you guys? The World Book Encyclopedia Salesman came to school and he did a little thing and he said, "I want you to be able to what was it? I think it was to spell this word tintinabilation When I come to your house and if you know it, you'll get some candy and
Michelle Newman 29:00
that's creeping me, but like your parents had to
Carolyn Cochrane 29:02
be there. Your parents had to be there. So the whole idea was, you you know, you made your parents open the door when the world, you know, like invite the World Book Encyclopedia salesman in, and then I was like T I N T I N N A B L A T I O N, and I got like a lollipop or something, and my parents had to sit through the World Book Encyclopedia sales pitch, and then they said, "No, we've got fun. But I'd love to know if other people had that. Remember the encyclopedia? He might have been the Britannica guy. I might be, but the Encyclopedia Britannica was too highbrow, like world good. We for sure had funk and wagon. Yes,
Michelle Newman 29:36
we for sure had the funk and whatever. Ours
Carolyn Cochrane 29:39
was orange, and it was so. I can just picture.
Michelle Newman 29:41
I can picture where they were all lined up on our bookshelf. Yeah.
Carolyn Cochrane 29:44
Yes. Okay. Well, good job. Yeah. Okay.
Kristin Nilsen 29:47
Nicely done. Tintinnabulation. Okay. Um. This is the big telephone. What is the big? Oh, the
Michelle Newman 29:52
big telephone is slang slogans. Slang slogans. Okay.
Kristin Nilsen 29:55
What was the famous 1978 Alka-Seltzer jingle that included? The sounds that the product made. I'm not even going to write it down. It takes your money. Yeah, that does take a long time. What was
Carolyn Cochrane 30:07
that? You want me to
Michelle Newman 30:08
sing it though? Yeah, go ahead. Plop plop fizz fizz. Oh, what a relief it is! Ding ding ding ding. You got it.
Carolyn Cochrane 30:16
My dad had so much Alka Seltzer, so I would just he would let me drop it in. I would sing, and I watch the little bubbles? So fun. Okay,
Michelle Newman 30:23
okay. I'm going to go up to TV film. Okay. What TV show starred Dixie Carter, Delta Burke, Annie Potts, Gene Smart, and Message Taylor? Message. I forgot how to say his name. Misak. Misak. Meshak. Meshak Taylor. Yeah. I can picture him perfectly. I love this show. You can still see it too on streaming.
Carolyn Cochrane 30:44
Yeah, clearly we all know the answer. Carolyn Gerald McRaney was on the. I'm going with designing women.
Michelle Newman 30:50
That is correct. Yeah, I was listening to Gene Smart. I was listening to Gene Smart. If you guys like Julia Louis Dreyfus's podcast, Wiser Than me, which I love. I also love because, sort of like our podcast, I can kind of pick and choose. There's such a good back catalog now. I can be like, oh, I missed that one, or I don't really know who she is. And sometimes, even if I don't know who it is, really, like I've heard the name, but I don't. I still listen to it and I learn a lot because these people, these older women, are truly wiser than me. Yeah, actually, they're wiser than I. It really bothers me that that's incorrect grammar, but it's okay. She always are we. She has a very recent episode with Gene Smart, and it's fabulous. It starts out a little slow. In fact, just from watching, you know, the past five seasons of Hacks, I'm expecting almost Gene Smart to be more Deborah Vance, and when it starts, she's almost kind of a closed book. And I was sort of like, "Oh, this is tough for Julia Louis Dreyfus, right? Because they don't really know each other, and they say that, like, "Oh, we wish we could work with each other. She very quickly comes out of her shell, and she's wow, she's had a lot that's gone on in her life, and she recently, you know, lost her husband and of many, many years,
Carolyn Cochrane 32:04
who she met on the, I think, on the set of Designing Women. That is correct. Yeah, I learned
Michelle Newman 32:08
that in in it. Anyway, it's a fabulous episode, and highly recommend. Great episode. That's an aside, but if you need something else to listen to besides us, all right. I mean, Julia Louis Dreyfus, she's fine.
Carolyn Cochrane 32:19
Okay, I'm gonna do VHS tape. Okay, name three of the four girls mrs. Garrett was house mother to on the sitcom Facts of Life. Do we get an extra credit point if we do all of them? No, hold on, I have to think Garrett because I, you know, I was right on the cusp with that. Like I'd catch it, but my sister was watching it, and so I was. I feel like
Michelle Newman 32:43
I feel Mitty coming in. He never
Carolyn Cochrane 32:47
said there was a time limit. You didn't know there was a time limit. Oh shoot! Okay, I've got two, and I know their real names, but that you didn't ask for their real names. So we'll
Michelle Newman 32:59
give you we'll give you half credit. Do you want me to? Can I even add some more of the characters? I can add like
Carolyn Cochrane 33:05
George Clooney. I know it's fine.
Michelle Newman 33:06
You know what? It was one of my very favorite shows, so that's why. And I'm younger than you. If you needed me to remind you, that's why.
Carolyn Cochrane 33:13
Okay. Well, I know this. I don't even know why I'm missing out on this. Oh, oh, now I remember.
Kristin Nilsen 33:19
There we go. We got it. Okay. Okay. So, Carolyn, which ones did you put down?
Carolyn Cochrane 33:23
I did. You. I only had to do three, right? I did. Yes,
Kristin Nilsen 33:26
you had to do three.
Carolyn Cochrane 33:27
Tootie, Blair, and Joe. But before I remember Joe, I put mrs. Garrett. No, that is not.
Michelle Newman 33:32
She's not householdering myself. Do you remember who Mindy Cohn played?
Carolyn Cochrane 33:36
I can't remember the name. I remember Mindy Cohn. What was she playing?
Michelle Newman 33:38
Natalie.
Carolyn Cochrane 33:39
Oh, Natalie. Just for the record, listeners, if you're keeping track of my score, I have not missed any.
Speaker 1 33:45
I don't think any of us have. Neither none of us have. Nobody's missed any. Nobody's going to ask what
Carolyn Cochrane 33:51
you guys got. Nobody has
Kristin Nilsen 33:52
even been stumped. Nobody's gotten it wrong. Well, yeah, I
Carolyn Cochrane 33:55
was kind of almost stumped there, but I got it. Okay. Do you guys want a really hard one? Yes. Yes, I do. Okay, we're going to go with
Michelle Newman 34:03
headlines.
Kristin Nilsen 34:03
Okay,
Michelle Newman 34:04
and this is from the Gen X deck, obviously, because you'll hear a name that is. What was the first commercial CD to be released in 1982? It was a re-release of a 1978 Billy Joel album. Okay, I'm glad I don't have to answer that one. I would not have gotten this. I know Kristen got it, so just let me just breathe. Yeah, I know. Well, you you sort of have a little smug look on your face right now, like you got it. She's faux. Oh, she's kind of everyone listening because I know this is not a visual medium. She's kind of looking up and kind of doing the little head shake, like I got it. Okay, but here's
Kristin Nilsen 34:40
the deal. I'm guessing. I am 100% guessing.
Michelle Newman 34:43
Okay, well, let's hear what your guess is. I mean, I can
Carolyn Cochrane 34:45
see it and everything. I just don't know. My
Kristin Nilsen 34:46
guess is the stranger. Goose egg.
Michelle Newman 34:51
But that was a really good guess because that is a Billy. That's a Billy. That's what I would have been doing. Is
Kristin Nilsen 34:56
a Billy Joel album.
Michelle Newman 34:58
Yeah. So I would have been just like. Thinking what what's a Billy Joel album? I know house houses. No, no,
Carolyn Cochrane 35:05
but here's my problem. I think I know the cover, but I don't know if I know the name. And I don't know the cover.
Carolyn Cochrane 35:13
Is that not the well? Maybe the stranger is the one where he's sitting on. Is this one where he's sitting on the step? That's the stranger. That's not no.
Michelle Newman 35:19
I don't have a picture of it, so I don't know. Oh,
Carolyn Cochrane 35:21
I think it's the one, isn't there? One where he's sitting like on the steps of like a brownstone or something, because I think this is the one that would have had only the good die young, because that's when I couldn't listen to it in 1978, and it was on the radio, and I was at my cousin's. We were moving to New Jersey, and my mom said I couldn't listen. Right now, there are so
Michelle Newman 35:37
many listeners. I know they're screaming. It's not
Carolyn Cochrane 35:41
called "Scenes from a minute. That's just a song. No, that's a song.
Kristin Nilsen 35:43
That's a song.
Carolyn Cochrane 35:44
It's called "Can you just?
Michelle Newman 35:46
How about if I give you a clue? Because you guys seem to know. You guys are the first part of it. It's two words, and the first part of is a number.
Carolyn Cochrane 35:57
I think is it the address of the where he's sitting on those steps? Probably.
Michelle Newman 36:01
I don't know if that's yes or no, but I'm going to say that sounds like it could be.
Carolyn Cochrane 36:07
Maybe I didn't know that. Okay, I'll just tell you.
Kristin Nilsen 36:10
Say it. I'm going to be so mad. The answer is
Michelle Newman 36:12
52nd Street.
Kristin Nilsen 36:15
Oh, how much? Oh my God! I knew it was 52nd When you said it's a number, I was like, "Do I get half for like
Carolyn Cochrane 36:21
describing the? Is that the? Can you look that up really fast, Michelle, and tell me fast? Yeah, we need to see the listeners. We're sorry. No,
Michelle Newman 36:27
it's okay. We're gonna right now. We're gonna listeners. You're about to hear me say the answer super quick because we're gonna edit all the dead the dead space out,
Carolyn Cochrane 36:37
and they're also screaming in the car like you dumb f's. Like I can't believe you didn't know that. F's we did. He's standing. Okay, he's
Michelle Newman 36:45
standing. He's in a suit, like a gray suit, and he's leaning against a white brick wall. That's oh yeah, yeah. And there's like some fire hydrants coming out of the bottom of the wall, and it looks kind of dirty. He's got his tie loose. He's got his big fluffy hair.
Carolyn Cochrane 36:59
And what's on that album, is that too much to ask? Wow.
Michelle Newman 37:02
Okay, we've got Big Shot. We've got my oh, such a good album. Big Shot, My Life, Stiletto, Honesty, Zanzibar.
Carolyn Cochrane 37:12
I know everything. Rosalinda's
Michelle Newman 37:13
Eyes, Half a Mile Away, Until the Night, and 52nd Street.
Carolyn Cochrane 37:16
Oh, so that wasn't only the Good Die Young. Yeah.
Kristin Nilsen 37:19
Oh, because that's the song you can't listen to because it said the thing about Catholic girls, right?
Carolyn Cochrane 37:24
And I thought I started 78 but it must have been earlier than that. Okay, okay, okay. That was a good one. That was hard. Yeah, that was hard, and we didn't get it. And we're listeners, those of you did. Good job. Good job. But you guys are
Michelle Newman 37:37
you were all still tied because neither one of you got it. So we just need one where one of us
Kristin Nilsen 37:42
gets it. Yeah. Okay. Our next one is sunglasses. That's pop culture.
Kristin Nilsen 37:47
On Saturday Night Live, what comedian hosted mr. Robinson's Neighborhood, a spoof of mr. Rogers? I
Carolyn Cochrane 38:00
think we both got it, Carolyn. What is it? Eddie Murphy. It is Eddie Murphy. God,
Michelle Newman 38:05
that's a funny one. But also, yeah, I feel like that's not sure that would yeah, that would fly today.
Kristin Nilsen 38:11
So, so the commentary in that is so short. That man took some risks. Well, that's iconic. Iconic.
Michelle Newman 38:20
You know, most comedians that are that successful, you had to take risks like that.
Kristin Nilsen 38:24
That's right. You
Michelle Newman 38:25
can't play it safe, especially if you're a comedian like that. Okay, I just love this is easy, but I just love this question because it's so Gen X, you guys. Again, we're with the sunglasses, pop culture. Despite technological advances, this common desk item had to be used when a cassette tape messed up.
Kristin Nilsen 38:44
Oh, funny!
Michelle Newman 38:45
But isn't that just a great question? Yeah, I like the way it's worded. What's the answer, guys?
Carolyn Cochrane 38:50
Pencil, pencil,
Michelle Newman 38:51
pencil. Very good.
Kristin Nilsen 38:52
You got to wind up your tape.
Carolyn Cochrane 38:54
Yes. When everything
Kristin Nilsen 38:55
went awry. Yeah, that's who's up in your machine. Very Gen X. Very Gen X. Remember,
Carolyn Cochrane 39:00
like it was such a good feeling when it like went in there and it kind of grabbed and it turned and then the cassette wasn't like the actual tape parts. Remember sometimes it would twist, twist,
Speaker 2 39:10
like oh yes,
Carolyn Cochrane 39:12
that just gave me like I forgot about that.
Kristin Nilsen 39:15
Pull it out again to try and find where the twist originated. Yes, the work we had to do, and you had to like
Michelle Newman 39:21
almost like sit there and go like this with it with your fingers, like your guys, listeners, I'm running it through my fingers. Did you ever put like I don't even know, maybe it maybe because it wasn't a number two pencil, I'd find a pencil like the only pencil I had, and it wouldn't turn it. Yeah, it was like
Carolyn Cochrane 39:36
right. It was that feeling of when it was big enough and it grabbed those little things, or the sprockets, little sprockets. Oh my gosh, yes, that's a good. That's like a good Gen X thing. You know, also think
Michelle Newman 39:49
about this. Okay, I started out with something really sad. I used to think about this all the time, and oh, it makes I can't even almost go there. But the things like when was the last time your child reached and grabbed your. Hand when you were walking across a parking lot, or when was the last time you picked them up? You know that makes me so sad. But let's go back to things like that. When was the very last time we stuck a pencil and a tape and rewound it or wound it? We didn't even know. We didn't. When's the last time you pushed the buttons on your cassette player and heard that just satisfying sound. You guys remember if you pushed eject and it was stuck in there, like the the
Carolyn Cochrane 40:28
tape, like the actual tape part was. Yes, and then you were trying very carefully because you could rip it because
Michelle Newman 40:35
you knew if you grabbed it too hard, you were going to have to be like, I got to find a fucking pencil. Okay. Also, listeners, we talking about this, and I know that we talked about when we did our really fun episode on Gen X smells. We did a Gen X smells museum. We already have this season the topics done. Season 20, we're going to bring you sounds. We're going to add another room. We're going to add another exhibit, and so we'll be crowdsourcing that sometime in the fall about the sounds, and that's going to be one of them. The buttons you push,
Kristin Nilsen 41:04
yeah, yeah, yes. You know what else we could add is an episode about Gen X angst. Like, what are the things that are unique to us that caused us angst? My son, Angie's son, has never ever had his tape get stuck in the in the tape recorder, and then have to use a pencil to wind it back. Right, all of the stuff that we just my body felt angst when we said that. And like I said, they've convinced it.
Michelle Newman 41:30
Well, and our children have never experienced the fear of quicksand.
Kristin Nilsen 41:34
No, they have death by quicksand. Quite a bit.
Michelle Newman 41:36
No, they'll they'll see a muddy puddle on a hike and they'll walk right through
Speaker 1 41:39
it. Yes. Whereas I'm
Michelle Newman 41:41
taking like a 20 foot perimeter around it.
Kristin Nilsen 41:43
You guys, whenever there's a story on the news about a sinkhole, there should be a law. You can't report on sinkholes. When there's a sinkhole story, I lose my mind. I have to turn off the. It's too
Michelle Newman 41:55
scary.
Kristin Nilsen 41:55
It's too scary. What
Michelle Newman 41:56
about what about how how many of you guys listening right now, and you two still wait after you eat before you go swimming. Of
Carolyn Cochrane 42:04
course, 30 minutes. Swallowing
Michelle Newman 42:06
gum, swallowing gum. Okay, we've already okay. We've already just like written the first part of this episode. This is a great idea, and that's a fun crowdsourcing one. Yeah, and I know listeners right now, those those of you who are still with us, those of you who have not turned us off, I know you're excited about that, and you're probably shouting things right now. So we will definitely be crowdsourcing that one too. You guys, we just we just came up with two episodes for season 20. I love it.
Carolyn Cochrane 42:32
Please do, please do, because we won't.
Michelle Newman 42:35
And the and then the sounds the another exhibit to our Jenner's museum. This will be the sound exhibit.
Kristin Nilsen 42:41
Okay. Next question is: This is cassette tape. What vocal jazz group scored a Grammy with "Boy
Carolyn Cochrane 42:52
from New York City" in 1981? You guys, I saw them in in Minnesota at the what's the jazz club in Dakota? The Dakota, and there's like really not a green room or anything in there. So I was in the bathroom with two of the ladies. It was their Christmas one, you know. I love that their Christmas album.
Kristin Nilsen 43:10
That's cool.
Carolyn Cochrane 43:10
So anyway, but yeah, Michelle,
Kristin Nilsen 43:12
who was it? I say the Manhattan Transfer. It was Manhattan Transfer. That was a good song. Yeah, it was a good. My brother got that as a 40-five at his birthday party, well, he would have been like 1110, or 11. He must have been 11. He must have been wow.
Carolyn Cochrane 43:27
And there was that little slice of time in our Gen X childhoods where that kind of music, you know, that was really a crossover. They were a jazz group, but you know that oh, kitty. And then kind of like, is it a? There were other songs by other artists that kind of had that maybe Shannon Breast in
Kristin Nilsen 43:46
the the 40s. Like remember, Bette Midler had sort of a oh yeah album and the stray cats kind of love the stray cats. Yeah, but there was even in fashion. I remember there was a lot of 40s stuff and the red lipstick and the yes yes yes yes oh yeah
Michelle Newman 44:02
kind of the curled that just look at us-the hair that looks like it's been kind of curled back on like little cams. Yeah. Why don't we each do one more and we'll wrap wrap this up since we've been. I've
Carolyn Cochrane 44:12
been having so much fun. I know this is why I wanted to do this podcast from the all the
Michelle Newman 44:17
cards. In fact, I had a whole stack here, and I've done almost all my questions from the same three cards because they're so fun. So again, guys, this is a great game, and I think this is a great game to bring with if you're on a you know a long car ride, a car trip, just you and your husband or your spouse, your partner, whatever your adult kids just put the card decks in your car and just answer them. Even if they're easy, it's fun when you know all the answers, right? Like this one. I think you guys will like this one. I'm going from slang and slogan, which I said earlier. I don't like that category. Maybe I just don't like it in like the other in the other generations. Yep. Okay. Finish the catchphrase from Essie Hinton's The Outsiders. Stay gold blank. Right, so don't you love knowing these answers?
Kristin Nilsen 45:03
Yeah,
Michelle Newman 45:03
because also they bring back good memories. So even if you're like
Kristin Nilsen 45:06
this on it, I want a shirt with this.
Michelle Newman 45:08
Even I have a I have a shirt that has the first has the stay gold, but I need the whole thing. Yeah, yeah. Okay, and um, let's see, Carolyn, what is
Carolyn Cochrane 45:15
it? I I want Kristen to do it. Okay, I mean I got it, but I think she just loves. I know she loves this line, and she has the whole outsider's connection with her. And sometimes we
Kristin Nilsen 45:23
call we sometimes we call my dog this stay gold pony boy. Yes, call my like pony boy. I was
Michelle Newman 45:28
saying even if you're like these questions are too easy. If you like more of a challenge, then choose one of the different decks, right? If you're playing, but I also like the feeling of success, and I like the feeling of knowing the answers and knowing also it makes you feel like wow, I really was paying attention in my generation.
Kristin Nilsen 45:48
I think you'll get this one, but this is interesting. In the late 70s and early 80s, what were Commodore and Tandy?
Carolyn Cochrane 45:56
Like might drop. I I think I have 100% But we all agree. So that's great. What is it? I would say their computer. I think we got we all got 100 Yeah, we all got the
Kristin Nilsen 46:07
stranger wrong. We got Billy Joel. Oh, that's right. That's right.
Carolyn Cochrane 46:10
That's true. Yeah, just kidding. We smart. Of course, we are
Kristin Nilsen 46:13
equally Gen X smart because we all got the same one wrong. We got the same. And I would. And I will.
Michelle Newman 46:19
I will say we are equally because I would have not gotten that correct at all. I want to just give you a couple from the Boomer card deck that I uphold, so you can see how like slang and slogan can be really hard and kind of misleading, and the person scoring might have to go. I'll give it to you. Listen to this one from slang and slogan. Also, the icon, a little telephone, which is so cute. What did it like a like a rotary dial telephone? Okay. What did it mean when someone said something is the word from the bird?
Kristin Nilsen 47:01
Is that like cool? Is that cool? The
Michelle Newman 47:03
truth. The truth. Yeah, Carolyn, right? It is the truth. The
Carolyn Cochrane 47:06
word from the bird. I guess I thought it was the bird is the word. That's the song, isn't that? Yeah. Is that in the grease song? The bird. Now
Michelle Newman 47:13
what's the word? Oh, grease is the word. But then some of the TV ones. I think we would get a. We we would get a lot of the TV ones from the Boomers because these were reruns we watched. You know, name the four main characters on the Andy Griffith Show is one of them. What 60s TV show included the characters Herman, Lily, Grandpa, Eddie, and Marilyn? Besides Gilligan and the Skipper, name the five passengers on the TV show Gilligan's Island. Name Paul Cartwright's three sons on the TV show Bonanza. So again, really fun to just throw in your car, or if you're having some friends over for dinner, or you're going out to dinner with friends, throw one of these card decks in your purse and like for something different instead of everybody just sitting there talking about work. You know,
Kristin Nilsen 47:55
God, yeah, you've been living the life of the party. Thanks everybody for listening today. Hope you won. I'm sure you did. You probably probably drove you crazy when we couldn't get Billy Joel's 52nd Street. But now you know that we are flawed human beings. So thank you for joining us today. We will see you again next time.
Michelle Newman 48:12
