00:00What is the question of the day?
00:01The question of the day.
00:02I know what it is.
00:03I just want to get to it because I like it.
00:05There are all kinds of ways you can go on this one.
00:08You saw NBA on NBC last night.
00:10Yeah.
00:11Spectacular.
00:11Throwback Tuesday, baby.
00:13I actually, you know, set a notification on my phone so I could see the intro.
00:17Right.
00:18You know, I didn't want to just hop in on the game.
00:19Yeah, it was wild.
00:20The highlights were running on SportsCenter this morning, and they've got the NBC low.
00:24I'm like, this is crystal clear for a game in 1993.
00:28That was the only thing that was, like, off-putting about it was I liked them trying to get the
00:34older graphics,
00:35but the older graphics in really high definition looked a little odd to me.
00:38Yeah.
00:38It was disconcerting.
00:40But anyway, what is something TV related?
00:43Could be a show.
00:44Could be a person.
00:45Could be a song you wish would make a comeback.
00:48Oh, oh.
00:48Battle of the Network Stars.
00:50Ah!
00:51100%.
00:51That's a great one.
00:52I need whoever the modern equivalent of Telly Savalas in a leisure suit coaching from the sideline with a cigarette
00:59in his hand.
01:00Yes.
01:00That's what I need.
01:02Ed Asner on the tug of war.
01:04I need, who's the guy from Welcome Back, Cotter?
01:07Gabe Kaplan.
01:08Gabe Kaplan.
01:09He was picking him up and putting him down.
01:11I know some of these.
01:12That's what I said to Seth.
01:13I'm like, man, he was running.
01:14He was running.
01:16Yeah, I need Catherine Bach for sure, doing the hurdles.
01:19Yes.
01:20All that stuff.
01:21Oh, Wonder Woman there.
01:23Linda Carter.
01:23Linda Carter.
01:24Yeah.
01:25Yeah.
01:25Yeah.
01:26And I need her to do all the events in her Wonder Woman outfit.
01:29Well, she did it in those little white shorts, and that wasn't bad.
01:32That wasn't bad at all, man.
01:33That wasn't bad at all.
01:34I feel like in order to upgrade this, instead of having a cigarette, you've got to have a vape on
01:37the sideline.
01:37Yeah, that'll be a little bit modernized for sure.
01:40Yeah, yeah.
01:41But Seth, when I was coming up with my answers for this, something TV related you wish would make a
01:45comeback?
01:45I took myself back to 10 and 11 and 12-year-old John Lopez in San Antonio with my, laying
01:53on my stomach, watching TV every Sunday about 6 p.m.
01:57Roller Derby.
01:58Oh, yeah.
01:58Network TV.
02:00Oh, my God.
02:00Yeah.
02:01The WWE version of Roller Derby.
02:03It was so good.
02:04It was scripted.
02:05Yeah.
02:05Well, it was scripted, and it was just, yeah, it wasn't real.
02:09Like, now Roller Derby's made a comeback, but it's an actual sport.
02:13But you don't get necessarily the people going over the wall and everything.
02:18How do you win?
02:20You lap people.
02:21It's like, basically, you've got to jam her.
02:23Like, Brandy was a jammer.
02:24Yeah.
02:25I was just going to...
02:25I told John, yeah, Brandy did Roller Derby.
02:27Yeah, she was awesome at it.
02:29I was just going to ask you, ask Brandy if she knows the name Earlene Brown.
02:33Okay.
02:34Earlene Brown was a superstar.
02:36Oh, okay.
02:36In Roller Derby.
02:37She wore number 747 because she was real big.
02:43That's the Roller Derby I love.
02:45She was an Olympic...
02:46She won a bronze medal in the Olympics.
02:48Oh, wow.
02:49Yeah.
02:49And then got into the Roller Derby.
02:50Okay.
02:51Just ask if she knows Earlene Brown.
02:53It is.
02:53Roller Derby is cool because it's kind of like football in that you've got the blockers who
02:57are the bigger women that, like, try to blast people and everything.
03:01And then you've got the jammers that are, like, the running backs.
03:03And so, like, Brandy was a jammer and they dart in and around and everything.
03:08And you try to lap the pack.
03:09You get points every time you lap them.
03:11Was she a star?
03:12And they're trying to keep you from getting through.
03:13Was she really good at it?
03:14She was really good at it.
03:15Yeah.
03:15She was really, really good at it.
03:16Yeah.
03:16But then she got concussed twice in seven days and that was the end of the Roller Derby.
03:21Yeah.
03:21Yeah.
03:21Oh, that sucks.
03:22That sucks.
03:23All right.
03:23So, I've got mine.
03:24Mm-hmm.
03:24I've got five.
03:25Five.
03:26Good.
03:26I've got five.
03:27Oh, wow.
03:28This week in baseball with an AI Mel Allen narrating.
03:32Yeah.
03:33Remember this week in baseball?
03:34Oh, every week.
03:35Every week.
03:36How about that?
03:37Yeah.
03:38This week in baseball.
03:38That's how you followed baseball back in the day.
03:40I didn't have cable in my house until I was in, like, a junior in high school.
03:43I watched basically one game a week on NBC.
03:45Yeah.
03:46We watched.
03:46We got the Red Sox games.
03:47All of them.
03:48But we, or most of them.
03:49Even then, we only had network.
03:50We didn't get Channel 38 out of Boston.
03:52Mm-hmm.
03:53So, I watched, like, 30 Red Sox games.
03:54We'd get the Monday, the game of the week on ABC.
03:57And this week in baseball.
03:58Yeah.
03:58And that's how you follow Andre Dawson on the Montreal Expos.
04:01It was, that's how you followed the National League where I lived.
04:04The National League may as well have been in, been in Belgium.
04:08You know?
04:09Like, Red Sox.
04:10It was it.
04:10Mm-hmm.
04:10So, this week in baseball, but with an AI, it's got to be narrated by Mel Allen.
04:14Oh, yeah.
04:14It was his voice.
04:15Oh, yeah.
04:16Number two.
04:17Championship wrestling on Saturday mornings.
04:20Just the one hour where all it is is, like, five matches where the stars are squashing
04:24these complete, like, you know, like, accountants and, you know, encyclopedia salesmen.
04:30And then they're doing interviews outside the ring afterwards.
04:32I miss the old school championship wrestling.
04:34Yeah.
04:34All right.
04:35That's number two.
04:35I'm loving this.
04:36Number three.
04:37The show Blind Date.
04:39You remember Blind Date, hosted by Roger Lodge back in the early 2000s?
04:43Yeah.
04:43Oh, yeah.
04:44Tremendous show.
04:45And they had all the funny graphics.
04:47Yeah.
04:47You know, like.
04:48The little bubbles that was caught up.
04:49Yeah.
04:50Like, sarcastic Sam.
04:52That's right.
04:53When guys like, yeah, I'm doing quite well in my construction industry and in my construction
04:58business and like a little bubble would pop up and be like.
05:01Mocking him.
05:02He's a.
05:02He works demo.
05:04Yeah.
05:05Yeah.
05:06That's exactly right.
05:07So I would love for Blind Date.
05:09And even if Roger Lodge wants to do that show.
05:11The last couple are a little.
05:13I would like to show the love boat to make a comeback, but on cable so that we would get
05:18the actual sex scenes in the love boat, as opposed to just assuming they happen.
05:24Have you adopted the modern dating shows then at all?
05:28Like Love is Blind.
05:30Yeah.
05:30Well, through us, most Amy watches of all.
05:31Gotcha.
05:32So I'm in the room for a lot of them.
05:33But they're not scratching the itch, apparently.
05:36No, no.
05:37I need like full on.
05:38No, probably Cinemax actually is what I need.
05:40A little more hardcore than just HBO Max.
05:42Yeah.
05:43Which brings me to my last one.
05:45Kind of in the spirit of the retro.
05:47Like you don't do this like every night, but in the spirit of the one night only kind
05:52of thing on NBC, I wouldn't mind if one of those apps like HBO or Cinemax had the
05:57old movies, but we have to watch them through the black squiggly lines.
06:00Oh, yeah.
06:00Like we, you know, like back in the day where we didn't, you know, my parents didn't buy
06:03those channels.
06:04Yeah.
06:04But if I just put the knob at the right angle here, talk about the knob on the cable
06:09box.
06:10That's a, but if you adjust it to just the right setting, you can kind of get a little
06:14bit of lines, you know, and they look like just sort of.
06:17They look like mimes because the faces are like super white and the, yeah, but, but that,
06:22so just one night only, just a little nostalgia.
06:24I'd like to watch through the squiggly lines.
06:26There was a little bit of a nostalgia that crept in when Sean, you're talking about how,
06:30you know, this, the, the only way that you even knew anything about the national league
06:35was because of that one time period.
06:37I do miss not having interleague play.
06:40I do kind of, I miss that.
06:42There was a separation.
06:43They just didn't know that it was a big mystery of just like, Oh, go boy.
06:47Yeah.
06:47At some point, these two, uh, team from this league is going to face a team from this league.
06:52And that's it.
06:53Red Sox.
06:53Yeah.
06:54Yeah.
06:54That's like, yeah, right.
06:55Right.
06:55Reds and Red Sox or Yankees, Dodgers.
06:58Reds and A's.
06:58Reds.
06:59Yeah, man.
06:59Yeah.
07:00Yeah.
07:00That's what makes for a good main event.
07:01You keep the two guys apart for as long as possible.
07:03And then man, they meet at WrestleMania.
07:05Yeah.
07:05That was my latest instance of stupid Yankees fans.
07:08Uh, I saw somebody on some Yankees fan on social media was like, Oh, the Yankees dominated
07:13the Astros for decades.
07:14But now because of the last couple, because the last few years, the Astros are like, what
07:19the hell?
07:19They didn't, they played each other for the first time in like 2003.
07:22You, you idiots.
07:24Yeah.
07:24The other one, the other one for me, that is a very nostalgic and for the life of me, I
07:30cannot figure out why they went away because they were such a hit and they're still resilient
07:35today.
07:36And that's sitcom theme songs.
07:38Oh yeah.
07:39Like the actual, the opening credits.
07:41It was a good minute.
07:42You know, it was a good minute of, of the song and little B roll of them laughing in a
07:46You should thunk back with all those today.
07:47That should be the bumping music.
07:49I think it might.
07:50I think it might.
07:51Show me that smile.
07:52Yeah.
07:53Yeah.
07:53I like that.
07:54That has given rise though.
07:56The fact they don't do those anymore.
07:57I like the ones where they take like ESPN dramas, not ESPN, sorry, HBO dramas.
08:03Um, and they apply eighties opening credits like Tony Soprano with the growing pains
08:09theme underneath is very funny.
08:10Like hearing like the layer, the lyric, show me that smile.
08:14And it's Tony smiling while he's punching a guy in the face.
08:17Like that's, those are fun.
08:18Those are a lot of fun.
08:20Yeah.
08:20Um, man, this is going to be good.
08:22Yeah.
08:221040 today.
08:23Yes, sir.
08:23A little nostalgia.
08:24Uh, oh, we're getting a, just not to steal from you guys.
08:27No, that's fine.
08:28George Michael sports machine.
08:30Remember that?
08:30The Friday nights, right?
08:32No.
08:32Late night on NBC.
08:33Yeah.
08:34George Michael, not George Michael from Wham, Seth.
08:37George Michael was a sportscaster in New York city.
08:40He had a national show late night on either Friday or Saturday on NBC.
08:44And he, he stood next to this gigantic machine.
08:48What could, what was considered a computer back in the eighties took up the whole wall,
08:52had those fake reels on it, like there and a big button that he would push.
08:56And he would just play all the highlights of sports from the week from around the sports
09:02world.
09:02And he's like, let's go out to, you know, let's go out to, uh, to, to, to, to San Antonio,
09:07Texas.
09:07He pushed this big red button and there's the ice man.
09:11Somebody up, man.
09:12And John, John Lopez sitting there with his notepad and his fedora right there.
09:18Yeah.
09:18George Michael, a mutual of Omaha's wild kingdom is on the, okay.
09:22I'm not going to steal.
09:23No, these are great.
09:23I'm expecting some good ones.
09:25There'll be some good.
09:25There already are.
09:26There are some good ones.
