Episodes
Lucy and Corbett are talking about the telecommunications miracle that is the pager. Obviously, everyone has one and knows what they are, so no further discussion is needed... or it is a weird box that allows you to sell drugs? Yeah, this is one of those weird episodes where is all just runs off the rails, but we talk about stuff just the same. Enjoy!
Lucy and Corbett talk about the Heaven's Gate cult and where it all ended back in the 90's. Lots of cult talk, so if you are looking for advise on joining a cult, we don't have a lot to tell you, but plenty on the other side of that discussion.
What days are worth living, if they are not all happy days? Lucy and Corbett get to talk about the The Happy Days television show and a little bit of what the impact it had on TV. We will certainly all remember where we were when they "jumped the shark".
Oddly enough, Corbett talks about the John and Lorena Bobbitt news from the 90's, as Lucy prepares for her wedding. Plenty of puns and terrible things, but a possible lesson to learn for the future.
Lucy and Corbett talk about the military in the 70s, through the television series MASH. There is nothing funnier than the wars of the past.
Lucy and Corbett cover the 1974 school book burning of Slaughter House Five. Lucy eats up her time reading it like a crazy person, only to suggest therapy to the author. Lots of talk about World War 2 and aliens, so it all makes perfect sense.
Lucy and Corbett talk about the educational toy, Speak & Spell, by Texas Instruments. That is right it is time to play with a brightly colored calculator and learn something to boot. You never know it may be the thing to need to "phone home."
Lucy and Corbett talk about the 200th and 250th birthday for the United States and all the problems that come with getting older. Lots of talk about what is appropriate to wear and burn.
Corbett and Lucy are talking about the 1976 Olympic Gold winning Dorothy Hamill. Dorothy may have been the most popular Hamill of the 70's... maybe, I guess time will tell. Lots of talk about figure skating and how little we know about it. But we get to really talk about the most important thing, the Dorothy Hamill hair, because you have to have priorities.
Lucy and Corbett talk about the space shuttle Challenger disaster in 1986, and a lot about what space travel has become. Was leaving the planet a good idea or just something to do for the weekend.
What show was the Canadian counter to Saturday Night Live? SCTV has a cast of character actors that would last for decades to come: John Candy, Eugene Levy, Rick Moranis, Martin Short, Catherine O'Hara, Joe Flaherty, Dave Thomas, and Andrea Martin. Lucy and Corbett talk about SCTV origins and were it all went. They even go so far as talking about the differences in British, American, and Cana...
It is that time of year, when peoples hearts turn to thoughts of love. Lucy and Corbett are talking about Video Dating and comparing it to "swiping". Finding love is no easy trick, but maybe these two can help navigate through it, or you can get a few laughs and not have to think about it.
Lucy and Corbett talking about the dance that took on the world in 1996, The Macarena. Long before we "Shook it off" but after "The Twist", the Macarena stood tall as one of the fads to engulf the world. We also find out if Taylor Swift is a Doctor or not, spoiler... she isn't.
Lucy and Corbett discuss what the world was like before seatbelts were put into laws. Some of it was wild and others were wild as well. Lets face it, sometimes a little restraint can be a lifesaver.
Lucy and Corbett are talking about Dick Clark's Rockin' New Years Eve, the party that spanned a continent. Memories of the 1979 New Years and a little talk on what Blondie and the Village People were all about. Happy New Year!
Have you ever spilled your drink and made a mess on the kitchen table. Well, imagine that your drink is fifty million gallons of crude oil and the kitchen table is Alaska. Lucy and Corbett talk about one of the more notable oil spills in the last thirty years, and yet it doesn't even register in the top ten of all oil spill disasters. That is just crazy.
Nothing like a good fight after a big meal. Corbett and Lucy are talking about the Geraldo show fight in 1988. What happens when you put two polar opposite sides in the same room, someone throws a chair. With Thanksgiving on the way it is time to put on the gloves and get ready for a traditional family get together. TV was never this crazy, or maybe it was exactly this crazy.
Everyone loves a good party, and when you have a suitcase full of sound the party travels with you. Lucy and Corbett are talking about the magic music box that brings a whole neighborhood to life.
We have seen the rise and fall of many walls. This time around, Lucy and Corbett are talking about the fall of the Berlin Wall that happened in 1989 and some of the things that led up to it and happened after. We get to learn how the division of people bring them all back together. Keep it together everyone.
Lucy and Corbett talk about the scare of 1982, that made everyone not trust their medicines and candys. The Tylenol scare was a a pretty big scare of the time, but we made it out and now we seal everything with love and fear. Happy Halloween!
