Speaker 1:

Okay, so they didn't have any time between I don't know they pre-record stuff.

But I'll say this Past Say Jack was there. I want to say that I think they said like 41 years.

Speaker 1:

I believe, it, that's a lot 51.

Speaker 2:

So yeah, but anyway, I like Ryan Seacrest better already.

Speaker 1:

Really he's a nice guy, he's nice. I know he's on everything Some people kind of don't like him, but I think it's just because I know he's like popular and vanilla, but but he's really good at what he does and he like he's a workaholic. I'll tell you that.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, pat Sajak would make you feel small or stupid, I don't know I feel he would always like try to.

Speaker 1:

A little bit of jab here and there maybe, yeah.

Speaker 2:

He'd get a chuckle at your expense.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, I feel like Maybe he's a good dude, yeah.

Speaker 2:

But whatever, yeah, but we love Wheel of Fortune.

Speaker 1:

Oh, man Vanna's still going, though, right.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I don't know how old she.

Speaker 1:

She, I don't think she ages. I think she's kind of like Barbie. Like Barbie stayed the same age for a long time.

Speaker 2:

But I'm like. I mean, she may be AI. You know what I'm saying. I don't even know if that's her. Yeah, she wanted to be the host. Oh.

Speaker 1:

And there was a big stink.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, we're getting into Will of Fortune drama. Yeah, okay.

Speaker 1:

Well, is she getting along with Ryan?

Speaker 2:

I guess I need to know, I think she wanted to be host and they were like, what are you crazy? And then they got Ryan Seacrest, but she stayed on.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Which I'm going to say this if I've been flipping letters for 40 years, yeah, I don't know how much she gets paid a year Probably paid a year probably like a probably really good chunk of change.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I just keep rocking those letters. I know, yeah, I get it, you don't even have to talk.

Speaker 2:

No, wow, so anyway. But yeah, we watched that, which got me thinking. I feel like now all they do is just bring back game shows oh, from back in the day, because now kind of rebrand them yeah, pressure look is on again no, yeah, no, whammy stop with uh oh, the actress. She's uh emily, not emily not emily blunt no I'll figure out her name, um, but yeah, pressure, look is back on really no whammies, no way. Yeah, which now it's bonkers. You remember back in the day like what did you?

Speaker 2:

win like seven grand oh yeah, a big night was like 15 000 yeah so now, what they do on pressure luck is you make it to the final thing and then it's got the like what was that show? Do you want to be a millionaire vibe?

Speaker 1:

Speaker 1:

Somebody called their wife. Yeah, yeah.

And then they'll get to a point like, all right, you've got $89,000 and you got the tickets to Hawaii. Yeah, do you want to keep going.

Speaker 1:

They're like I'm going to keep going and then they got to take like four more spins. Don't do it, yeah, people will win like $400,000 worth of stuff.

Speaker 2:

It's crazy.

Speaker 1:

Oh, my goodness.

Speaker 2:

Or they'll get bankrupt.

Speaker 1:

You know, I've heard that's kind of a thing though, If you get on that, if you get on those games.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

It's kind of like a job where you're trying out for it or something Like they pick certain people Like it's kind of a. What am I trying to say? Like a circuit or something Like you got to be interesting good looking or crazy or something. Elizabeth Banks is the host of Pressure. Look Well, we have a friend and he was on. What was he on?

Speaker 2:

He was on Family Feud, who no?

Speaker 1:

Dan. Well, I'm not going to say his name.

Speaker 2:

Oh no, it wasn't him. It was a guy that. Oh man, I'll find it.

Speaker 1:

We have a friend who was just on a game show last year and he's super personable and, like you know, super friendly, fun and whatever. But like it's a thing that people go, do they try to get on this? Game show they try to get you know prices.

Speaker 2:

Right, all the things anyway, whatever I guess you can do that with everything, but like jeopardy, jeopardy, you gotta be smart you gotta be smart man I can do some of that, because it's useless knowledge.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and then they get into any kind of literature and I'm like I'm out, I gotta go flip some pancakes or whatever I'm doing for dinner.

Speaker 2:

This 13th century poet no.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, who's the host of that now?

Speaker 2:

They go through hosts more than answers. It's crazy they had the girl from what was that show?

Speaker 1:

Speaker 2:

Yeah her. Oh, it was blossom. Yeah, it was her. She blossomed into a genius I can't remember her name.

Speaker 1:

It's starts in the end and. Her. Yeah, but yeah, she's really smart. Everybody thought she should have gotten it, but then some guy got it.

Speaker 2:

Her buddy was six. Remember that who? I think that was the name of their friend.

Speaker 1:

I didn't watch that show, I don't. I guess. I just came out and said I did. Yeah, you did, um, what do?

Speaker 2:

you like. I like pop rocks and dr pepper and I like to watch blossom after school man, that's got me wondering all right, okay, but price is right price is right and remember the showcase price is right was mom.

Speaker 1:

My throat hurts oh yeah, that's a meme. Yeah, by the time teen sprite and price is right. Yeah, by the time Saltine Sprite and Price is Right.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, by the time Price is Right came on.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

You felt fine.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, the Tylenol had kicked in and you probably didn't need to take sick day. You don't have extra men, but your mom didn't care. No, she didn't, because she was folding clothes. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

And then you that dawn dish soap, that's, that's less than three dollars.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, right, basically, if you're good at shopping, yeah, like a ship shopper, oh, they would kill on that.

Speaker 2:

Now, oh, a ship shopper online like deliveries yeah, uber eats or whatever man you would, oh yeah destroy.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, people had to know not uber eats. But whatever I mean, this is like dating me or whatever and not being totally um progressive. But back in the 70s and 80s that was like housewife specific and I know I just said the word housewife and not homemaker or stay-at-home parent, but it was the 70s and 80s, you know what I mean like women back then knew what hamburger helper cost right or whatever but anyway, but then the showcase, you know, and they'd always have that like ceramic dog dalmatian no, that was will of fortune oh wasn't.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, because on will of fortune when it first over back to will of fortune, okay, when that first started.

Speaker 2:

You won your money. And then they wheeled like a living room spun around on like a carousel. Yes, it did, and then you had to spend your money and you're like I'll take the couch. It was way back. They're like I want the couch for $1,100 and the lamp. And then you had to like buy the stuff in the room and the last thing people bought, I think was the Dalmatian umbrella holder.

Speaker 1:

That was ceramic I think it was $250. And it was always by the door.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and people were like and I guess the Dalmatian, I guess I'll take that weird thing.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's going to be great. Did you go on Wheel of Fortune? Yeah, you know, that's just not somewhere you can buy it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

You know that marked you.

Speaker 2:

You just invested in a future yard sale.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, you just got on the front end of that.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

But 20 years ahead of time because that's expensive 250, 25 years ago, that's like $4,000 right now.

Speaker 2:

Also also Also worthless was let's Make a Deal, remember those people. How about?

Speaker 1:

Let's Don't. I don't know how much of a deal this is, yeah.

Speaker 2:

That was the meanest show. They're like do you want to keep the $1,000? Right or go for what's behind door?

Speaker 1:

number two, and this is people they're on their honeymoon and they're like we could really use some money. No, don't do it.

Speaker 2:

Let's go big. And they're like and now you're taking on my pick or let's make a deal.

Speaker 1:

Was door number one, two or three, right yeah?

Speaker 2:

yeah, and then everybody had to dress up. Let's make a deal and everybody would dress up as like a whatever, a clown or whatever, and they get up there and like that's how you got picked.

Speaker 1:

Oh man, you're in the vault. I don't remember any of that.

Speaker 2:

Well, they brought that back Now, wayne Brady is the host of let's Make. I don't know if it's still going. I think so.

Speaker 1:

That's all they do is regurgitate shows. So the newlywed game.

Speaker 2:

I don't think they brought that back. I think that would they brought that back, so you know they'd write on the card guess what your spouse was. Oh Lord.

Speaker 1:

Can you imagine now? Like it got a little tense, at least with one of the couples every now and then, like she said you love banana pudding no, we had it at your mother-in-law's.

Speaker 2:

My mother-in-law's not hated it or whatever. I should have called it annulments or something Like it was. Yeah, oh, you just got married. Let's have the biggest fight you've ever had.

Speaker 1:

On TV.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah. What's something your wife makes casserole-wise that you think is garbage? Yeah, and they're like oh, I know this one.

Speaker 1:

It was kind of yeah, and it was always a little bit even about that kind of stuff like feelings, oh yeah. You know, but it was always a little bit like you'd have it on and even our parents would be like. I don't think I'd have said that you know what I mean.

Speaker 2:

And then they would take the card and hit the husband over the head.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, rip it in half. Yeah, drama, but what about love connection with Chuck?

Speaker 2:

Woolery, that is so inappropriate.

Speaker 1:

Speaker 1:

So after the movie yeah, did you go back to his place? You're like, oh no, so tell us then what happened. You're like, yeah.

That weave is going to slow it down.

Speaker 1:

I was like it's going to catch somebody, or Because like it's going to catch somebody, or I just thought their hand was going to get caught in it, or it's going to fall off and roll toward the crowd. Oh yeah.
