00:00What I want you to do real quick is think of Nickelodeon's global guts, right?
00:04But we're gonna take that and put it on a bigger stage, alright?
00:06We're not just gonna have kids competing.
00:08We're gonna take all of your favorite 90 stars from sitcoms and cartoon and you name it,
00:13and we're gonna throw them all into a ring and they're gonna battle it out together for supremacy.
00:17I'm just assuming people are like me and they're wondering one thing.
00:20Is Zack Morris part of this event?
00:23Yeah, Zack Morris shows up.
00:24Well then why wouldn't I want to see this?
00:26Exactly, but not only Zack Morris.
00:28You got Lisa Turtle, who I found out is a much better actress than she is an athlete.
00:34You got Jonathan Taylor Thomas.
00:36You got all of his brothers from Home Improvement.
00:38You name it and they're probably in this and you're gonna see them today.
00:42Next thing you're gonna tell me is that the Macho Man is somehow involved.
00:46Oh yeah, dig it.
00:49Are you ready?
00:50We're ready now.
00:51Are you really ready?
00:53Yeah.
00:54Are you ready big time?
00:56Yes, you ask me.
00:58All right, let's do the thing.
01:00Throw in the ball.
01:02On their way, dig it.
01:04Aha!
01:05Absolutely, Macho Man was involved and I nearly lost my mind.
01:09In a world where the it thing is always changing,
01:12sometimes you need a tour guide or two to help you find your way to pop culture's paradise.
01:17If you find yourself reminiscing or in need of a good recommendation,
01:20these two have you covered.
01:22And now, here's your hosts, Joey and Jeff.
01:30All right, I can't wait any longer.
01:32If you're telling me that Macho Man, Zach Morris,
01:34and all the Home Improvement kids are involved in this,
01:37I think we need to talk about it right now, don't we?
01:40Absolutely, and we gotta talk about the host too because we're getting Carlton, right?
01:44Pete Carlton Dance Craze.
01:46We're getting downtown Julie Brown, which is still one of the best names in broadcasting,
01:50MTV, Macho Man as the third,
01:53and these shenanigans that ensue are definitely a must-watch.
01:58And then the other event was hosted by our boy, Bob Golick,
02:03who we just can't seem to get away from.
02:06No, we can't escape Golick.
02:08Like, somehow through the amount of Pop Culture Paradise episodes we've had,
02:12Bob Golick keeps showing up.
02:15That wasn't the plan, to have the show become Bob Golick-centric.
02:19No, this is pretty much Bob Golick Paradise is what you're watching lately,
02:24if you've been tuning in.
02:26And then you also have Scott Baio, and then some other girl I didn't quite recognize.
02:31And then Phil Moore. Phil Moore from Nick Arcade showed up.
02:35Yep, he did. There's a few people that I kind of sort of recognize
02:39that kind of flew under the radar for me,
02:42but all in all, it's just a bunch of stars that you're going to definitely remember.
02:46Okay, so if you haven't heard of these events, I don't blame you.
02:50I literally stumbled across this, and I was like, wait a minute.
02:53One event has all these kids competing for charity,
02:56but also to promote the Sega Genesis.
02:59And then apparently Nintendo got jealous and decided,
03:03hey, next year at Universal Studios, you're talking about Nintendo.
03:08So our first clip is from the Sega events.
03:12Here are our hosts, Bob Golick, Scott Baio,
03:15and some girl who Jeff just can't remember her name.
03:18Yeah.
03:19I know. I'm excited, too.
03:21We've got obstacle courses, crazy mazes, and dizzy waders.
03:24And before we're through...
03:26What is a dizzy wader?
03:27...climbing the walls, literally.
03:29It's an event that they do where you get Kelly Kapowski
03:32to spit around on her head and serve you drinks.
03:35I definitely remember that guy on the left from 90210, right?
03:39Well, that's Scott Baio from Happy Days.
03:42No, no, no, on the far left.
03:46That was one of the characters from 90210.
03:50Was it Brendan? Was that his name?
03:52No, it wasn't Brendan. It was somebody else.
03:56True Colors never have seen that show.
03:59No, there were quite a few games where they were like,
04:01you remember them from Drexel.
04:03No, I don't know what Drexel is.
04:05Why did they just quickly slide over Mario Lopez there?
04:09Well, there was a reason.
04:11I wanted to pull this clip out specifically.
04:14Home Improvement, one of the best, dude.
04:16Love that show still.
04:19There he is.
04:21But I pulled that because I'm pretty sure he said Heath Slater.
04:30Yeah, he definitely did.
04:32I got kids!
04:35The Blazing Blue Barbarians!
04:37Who is naming these teams?
04:39The Torkelsons, have you ever seen that?
04:41I never watched that.
04:43No, but it's made by the same guy who did Boy Meets World.
04:46I learned about it when I did the documentary.
04:48Right.
04:49Joey Lawrence, classic. Love that guy.
04:52From the hit TV series.
04:54I never heard of it.
04:58I like these little, like, you know her as.
05:00You've all seen him.
05:02Growing Pains, I know that show.
05:04I've never seen it, but I know it.
05:06The Wonder Years, dude, great show.
05:10There she is.
05:12DJ Tanner in the house.
05:14Stephanie. It's Stephanie!
05:16No, but in Fuller House,
05:18Stephanie becomes a DJ.
05:20So she's DJ Tanner.
05:22Come on, dawg, get with your full house.
05:24Okay.
05:26Well, DJ also became a DJ to become DJ DJ Tanner.
05:29Everybody's a DJ nowadays, bro.
05:31Come on.
05:33And we're even podcasters.
05:37So if you just wish hard enough,
05:39you make a wish,
05:41which is what they're playing for,
05:43you can become whatever you want.
05:45So these are just some of the teams
05:47that we're seeing so far.
05:49And if you already told me that that was the cast,
05:51I would have been like, alright, I'm watching.
05:53But that's not all.
05:55No, there's more.
05:57But do you find a little bit of a problem
05:59with, like, the age gap?
06:01There's quite a bit,
06:03because there's some real young'uns on there,
06:05but then there's, like, more established
06:07actors and actresses from, like, older shows
06:09that we definitely know.
06:11Yeah.
06:13If you're going to have a 15-, 16-year-old
06:15competing against a 9-year-old,
06:17it's going to be slaughterhouse.
06:19They're not even going to stand a chance.
06:21What, you didn't want to see a grown-up
06:23Wonder Years kid just completely
06:25demolish the youngest son on Home Improvement?
06:27I mean...
06:29I'd watch it.
06:31Absolutely.
06:33Just so we can talk about it.
06:35The Coral Crusaders.
06:37Blossom. I don't know that show very well.
06:41Okay.
06:43They're bringing in the, you know,
06:45teen celebrities here.
06:47Not just from TV.
06:49It's the 90s Jake Paul.
06:51Step by step. I love that show still.
06:53Terrible picture they got of him, though.
06:55Oh, there he is!
06:57There he is, bro!
06:59But at this point, MPG is like a full-grown man.
07:01No, I was going to say,
07:03he's definitely, like, an adult.
07:05You know?
07:07Matthew Lawrence.
07:09ABC's new show.
07:11Dude, Brittany Murphy.
07:23The Fabulous Fuchsia team.
07:27I'm really curious
07:29what a lot of these people went on to do.
07:31I kind of recognize that girl's face.
07:33Ashley...
07:35I want to say she became a voice actor.
07:37She might be the one on Recess or something like that.
07:39Yo, it's Eddie! Let's go!
07:41Eddie's had a lot of
07:43fun on this episode.
07:45Dude, the Young Jesse James
07:47sounds like a TikTok rapper name.
07:49It does.
07:53JTT, let's go!
07:55Dude, every boy wanted to be him
07:57and every girl wanted to be with him.
07:59And he was the voice of Simba.
08:01Give me a break.
08:03Now, you said Lark Voorhees wasn't much of an athlete.
08:05Neither was Angela Watson.
08:07No.
08:11We can hear you, Golik.
08:13I love Creepy Sonic in the background here.
08:17Which way do we go?
08:19Which way is the exit?
08:21Dude, you tell me.
08:23If I didn't know about this
08:25that this was even happening when we were kids,
08:27I would have done whatever it took to be there.
08:29To watch this in person.
08:31Because this was like every star
08:33that we watched every week.
08:35They were all just under one roof.
08:37Not only every star,
08:39but they're shilling Sega products.
08:41They're at Universal Studios.
08:43It's kind of cool, man.
08:45But unfortunately,
08:47nobody wants to let Sonic the Hedgehog hang out with him.
08:49Look at him behind Bob Golik
08:51It's so sad.
08:55You guys got to show Sonic some love here.
08:57What the heck?
08:59Little does he know,
09:01the next year they don't even have him at the event.
09:03What are the gym shirts they're wearing?
09:05Do those say rum or bum?
09:07Oh, they're bum shirts.
09:09That was a thing in the 90s, wasn't it?
09:11I looked that up
09:13and it was a brand started
09:15in the 80s.
09:17And then the vintage clothing
09:19sold for like 60-70 bucks
09:21if you want to buy it now.
09:23Damn. Bro, we're going to have to put our pennies
09:25together and score a bum shirt
09:27that we can share between us.
09:29You bums.
09:31Now, I don't know.
09:33Who do you think would sponsor an event
09:35by Sega Genesis?
09:37Sega Genesis, right?
09:39If it's their event.
09:41The Sega Star Kids Challenge
09:43is being brought to you by
09:45Sega.
09:47What?
09:49Dude, is that Tecmo Bowl?
09:51This is sports
09:53talk football and
09:55I had to pull this clip because I grew
09:57up with sports talk baseball
09:59and the old school
10:01announcing in these video games.
10:03People nowadays get so annoyed
10:05when there's not crazy
10:07amount of dialogue provided
10:09by commentators. Back then you had
10:11a few automated lines
10:13and every voice sounded like it was
10:15coming out of your calculator.
10:17Yeah, they were all kind of just generic lines
10:19and you would hear them over and over
10:21and over again.
10:23I remember you'd get
10:25playing sports talk baseball and be like
10:27Chicago
10:29to the Red Sox
10:31nothing.
10:33Zero.
10:41Oh no, it's picked off. He's going the other way.
10:45Is that Montana?
10:47That voice sounds like the ransom
10:49message left.
10:51Dude, that is coming out of a Casio calculator.
10:53You're right.
10:55You are never seeing your family again
10:57unless you pay
10:59a hundred and four
11:01dollars.
11:03Error.
11:05You have to think
11:07it didn't get too much better.
11:09We stopped playing Madden years ago
11:11but even then it was a lot
11:13of the same lines over and over again.
11:15Like boom, pow.
11:17You were telling me one where you were
11:19playing as the Dallas Cowboys
11:21and you're losing and what happens?
11:23Dude, I'm getting smoked.
11:25Like destroyed.
11:27I'm down like
11:2942 nothing.
11:31In the fourth quarter I finally score
11:33a touchdown. The game is way out of hand
11:35mind you. I finally put seven
11:37points up on the board and the
11:39announcer just goes, how about them Cowboys?
11:41I'm like
11:43dude, now you're just making fun of me.
11:45Come on. Well, somebody has to know what they're
11:47doing and
11:49well, Macho and Julie Brown
11:51and the other event may have been memorable.
11:53Do you ever feel like Scott Baio didn't know
11:55what he was doing?
11:57Yeah, I don't even remember any of the lines that he had
11:59to be quite honest with you.
12:01He may have been mailing it in and I have proof.
12:03They have to paddle as fast as they can to the finish
12:05line and then obviously the
12:07team back to the finish line first is the winner
12:09and that's it. Oh, is that how
12:11it works, Mr. Baio? Okay.
12:13Jeez, man. Can somebody hold
12:15up some cue cards for this poor guy?
12:17Golly. Everybody was confused
12:19but at least A.C. Slater is going to
12:21pretend like, yeah, I totally understand what's
12:23going on. You know what's
12:25crazy? If you pause
12:27that real quick.
12:29Years down the line, it would be
12:31Mario Lopez that is the
12:33host of everything.
12:35I mean everything. He's
12:37hosting television. He's hosting
12:39radio with iHeartMedia.
12:41This guy is everywhere.
12:43And in this, back in the day, he was a competitor
12:45but it's so crazy to think about that.
12:47Maybe he's back there taking notes.
12:49Look at him. Maybe he's very studious.
12:51Not from Scott Baio.
12:53The first one to cross the finish line, they're
12:55going to win. I don't know.
12:57I mean, what's a good canoe race
12:59without a little messing around? Am I right, guys?
13:01Yeah, dude.
13:03Keep it up.
13:05Whatever.
13:07Who is Alex? What is that? Alex who?
13:09Alex Baker.
13:11I thought I said
13:13bacon for a minute.
13:15And he's supposed to be our play-by-play guy
13:17but they wanted to go with some wacky wordplay
13:19because this is a zany 90s event.
13:21Oh, dude. You ain't kidding.
13:23And it was so much like a double dare.
13:25Like, right down to, let's put him
13:27in a silly set. You know,
13:29our play-by-play guy gives play-by-play
13:31in a British phone booth.
13:33That's zany. Absolutely.
13:37I want to know why he has a headset on but he's also
13:39on a payphone at the same time.
13:41He's on a payphone trying
13:43to call home, thinking about all the
13:45change he spent on you.
13:47Slater's partner in this. Is that
13:49Brittany Murphy up front?
13:51I believe that is Brittany Murphy.
13:53Dude, that's crazy. Just the star
13:55power in this thing is unreal.
13:57Star power. I don't think we need
13:59any other stars. Slater goes full
14:01beast mode here.
14:03Well, dude, he's easily the most
14:05in shape, dude.
14:07Like, at the entire park.
14:11Little mark there for a moment proving
14:13us no idea where he's going.
14:17Look at Slater. He's doing it
14:19himself, bro.
14:21Like, if you watch this, the Stand By The Bell
14:23kids have already started aging out
14:25to the point where they're not really
14:27supposed to be at this event but they're too
14:29big of a popularity.
14:31They're like one year away from the college
14:33years, you know?
14:35Oh, no. Do you think Bob Golick was networking
14:37at this? I think he was.
14:39He's like, hey, I think I'd be great for this.
14:41I could be like the RA.
14:43And Mark Paul's walking around like,
14:45you know, Bob's kind of funny.
14:47Yeah, he could be good.
14:49We have good rapport.
14:51Look at his swagger, though.
14:53Come on, dude.
14:55You gotta paddle.
14:57He's covered in a paddle.
14:59He doesn't care about this competition.
15:01Dude, he's celebrating on the
15:03five-yard line. Who even knows if he won?
15:05Dude, he totally pulled
15:07the Deshaun Jackson right there.
15:09Oh, God.
15:11So, the other guy who's having way too much
15:13fun at this event is the kid
15:15Darius McCray. McCrary?
15:17McCray? I think one of the two.
15:19And he's the one who plays Eddie Winslow
15:21in Family Matters. So he takes the camera
15:23and he provides a backstage
15:25look at what's going on.
15:27Eddie, always giving us the scoop. Let's see it.
15:29This is what you do when you're that far
15:31away from Carl.
15:41She's vlogging back in the day.
15:43Was Eddie the original
15:45blogger, bro?
15:47Simba!
15:49Oh, what should I say, Jonathan?
15:53Like you don't know,
15:55Eddie. Come on.
15:57He's a champion. She's good.
15:59Little does he know that he's gonna get
16:01big league gear later. Oh, yeah.
16:03Oh, damn.
16:05He's going full Hulkamania.
16:07Dude, this girl's ready for the competition.
16:11So, we have another host here.
16:13I like this guy Phil Moore
16:15because he has a lisp,
16:17but he's so good.
16:23Look at this thing.
16:25It's a terrible web that you weave.
16:27All right.
16:29So, what are the things you did when you sent me
16:31your notes and your initial thoughts?
16:33Before, we didn't want to spoil it for each other,
16:35but you just said something about this event.
16:37Can you describe what we're about to see?
16:39I said that this was the biggest
16:41I said that this was the most dysfunctional,
16:43funniest part
16:45of any of the both shows
16:47that we've watched
16:49because there's this one poor kid,
16:51I can't remember his name,
16:53he is having the most difficult time
16:55he's ever had with anything
16:57trying to get through this web.
16:59So, basically how it works is they have to hold
17:01a water balloon
17:03and they need to make it through this web,
17:05but if they drop the balloon,
17:07they gotta go all the way back to the beginning and start again
17:09and this dude
17:11must have went back three, four times
17:13and then as you'll see here,
17:15it got worse from there.
17:17What I found out about this event was
17:19if you messed up once, you pretty much
17:21screwed your time because the people who made it through
17:23initially,
17:25to go back, you're already costing yourself
17:2710 seconds, so you're done.
17:29And then if you keep failing,
17:31then you start holding onto the water balloon
17:33too tight.
17:35He's under. He's doing this like a champ.
17:37Look at him just...
17:41He was smart.
17:43He's probably holding the balloon the right... You know what I mean?
17:45Because your nails could pop it,
17:47your power and your grip could pop it.
17:53Dude, he just got lucky though.
17:55Because that balloon fell and it didn't
17:57break.
17:59But this guy didn't have the same faith.
18:01Bro, clip your nails.
18:03Before he could even get through, he bust one balloon.
18:05So I want you to pop off the counter on the screen.
18:07There goes balloon number two.
18:09He's going to go all the way back.
18:11He wasn't very far.
18:15Balloon number three.
18:17And he falls on his ass.
18:19Oh, this poor guy. I felt so bad for him.
18:21But I must have
18:23rewound it like three or four times.
18:25I could not stop laughing.
18:27Well, Zachary Ty Brian did it too.
18:29Tim's going to be so upset.
18:31Jill's going to ground him.
18:33He was so little back then.
18:35It's crazy.
18:37So Joey Lawrence,
18:39in this next event,
18:41you have to pull yourself across the rope
18:43on your canoe
18:45and try to get the fastest time.
18:47And I think Joey Lawrence had to be
18:49the most 90's looking kid there.
18:51Oh dude, he's rocking it.
18:55The only thing he needs on that raft is a fanny pack.
18:57He's got a wetsuit on, Bob.
18:59What do you think?
19:01A wetsuit, smart idea.
19:03It makes him aerodynamic as well.
19:05I love that they announced
19:07a busting autumn for wanting to look good
19:09as opposed to perform good.
19:11Speaking of look good,
19:13I'm just surprised he's wearing a hat
19:15because Joey Lawrence has a head of hair
19:17like no other, dude.
19:19Yeah, he does.
19:21Now you spent quite a bit of time in Nashville.
19:23What do you think of this Elvis impression
19:25coming up here?
19:27On the replay, you can see the young Elvis
19:29kicking and screaming.
19:31He's in the water.
19:33Let's go to Scott.
19:35That Elvis
19:37might be on Broadway
19:39at like 3 or 4 AM.
19:41He's not
19:43doing top tier work.
19:45So now,
19:47because it can't get any weirder,
19:49Scott Baio is going to talk French
19:51to Sonic the Hedgehog.
19:53Which is a sentence I don't think I ever
19:55was expecting to say in my life.
19:57Because he's having such great luck with English so far.
19:59I can hold my own, thank you.
20:01Such funny expressions.
20:03He's crazy.
20:05Oh my god.
20:07Did he put a pumpkin
20:09on his hat? A beret?
20:11Tell him how it works, Scott.
20:13So then this other part,
20:15they wanted to show what's cool about
20:17Universal Studios and
20:19the attraction where you can learn
20:21stunt fighting. So imagine you just
20:23tuned in and you saw a bunch of
20:25these kids just
20:27looking around and
20:29what the?
20:31Oh god.
20:35Oh geezum, dude.
20:37Just gave him the Shawn Michaels,
20:39bro. God dang.
20:41And you're like, whoa, why did these
20:43kids just beat up that poor defenseless man?
20:45Oh, well, we're now back to Fillmore.
20:47I guess everything's all cool and all peaceful.
20:49Wait a minute.
20:55Oh geez, dude. The bit's over.
20:57Come on, you guys.
20:59So tell me, where exactly
21:01do I remember Fillmore from?
21:03Was he the host of Arcade?
21:05Nick Arcade. Yeah, see, I remember
21:07him. We need to do, like,
21:09I need to learn more about him.
21:11Because he was there and then he was gone.
21:13But I always thought he was a good
21:15host. Oh, he's a great
21:17host and he was really fun on Nick Arcade
21:19way back. Dave
21:21and I had our show to be named later and we did
21:23a Nick Arcade episode, the one that Joey
21:25Fatone was part of. And there's
21:27so much, like, energy that
21:29Fillmore brought to his presentation.
21:31Yeah. And what I like about him
21:33is he's always at these
21:3590s conventions.
21:37And, like, he makes a lot of friends
21:39in the gaming world and, like, he kept
21:41trying to bring back Nick Arcade as
21:43these different variations, but his Kickstarters
21:45and all this stuff fail. Right.
21:47But it's cool that he's still into it.
21:49People like him. In fact,
21:51one of the Game Chasers
21:53DVDs comes with a Choose
21:55Your Own Adventure. Really? And there's
21:57a certain part in the Choose Your Own Adventure
21:59where you accidentally
22:01call Fillmore and he picks up and answers
22:03and threatens you. What?
22:05Yeah. That's pretty cool.
22:07And he basically looks the same
22:09too.
22:11Really? We're back at Universal Studios
22:13So here's our commissioner for the event.
22:15Yeah. The commish.
22:17You just wait until he becomes
22:19an RA for a college dorm room.
22:21So tell me how, at this
22:23point of this event, how long had it been
22:25since Scott Baio was on TV?
22:27I think he was still on. I think he had
22:29a...
22:31Baby Bob?
22:33Not Baby Bob. It was
22:35Look Who's Talking, the TV show. I think
22:37he was on. There was
22:39a TV show for Look Who's Talking?
22:41I had no idea about that.
22:43Yeah. What?
22:45I think it wasn't
22:47called Look Who's Talking, but it was based
22:49on Look Who's Talking, but it was about
22:51a talking baby and it was the same premise
22:53by the same people.
22:55And he's
22:57basically the John Travolta role in it.
22:59But it only lasted like two seasons.
23:01Yeah.
23:03Nobody wanted to see the talking baby.
23:05No. I'm gonna say
23:07something and I don't know,
23:09maybe I just don't know.
23:11And maybe you do, because you're more familiar with the
23:13cheerleader world.
23:15Did you know there was a second part to the
23:17UGLY chant?
23:19You ain't got no alibi, you ugly.
23:21A-A, you ugly.
23:23Yeah, there's another part to that.
23:25No.
23:27I don't know.
23:29Well, be prepared to have your mind blown here.
23:31U-G-L-Y!
23:33You ain't got no alibi, you ugly!
23:35Yeah, yeah, you ugly!
23:37Your mama! Yeah, yeah, your mama!
23:39Oh, yeah. You get it from your mama.
23:41I know that. Yeah.
23:43I never knew. I never knew that you could get it
23:45from your mama.
23:47Well, they're saying that you're ugly
23:49and then they're gonna say, well, you're ugly
23:51because your mom is. So it's like a double
23:53diss, you know? But dude,
23:55look at just like, in that quick
23:57clip there, just the cast
23:59in there. Jodie Sweetin, you got Kelly Kapowski.
24:01Like, it's just,
24:03it's crazy. Like, this is just so
24:05tragic and so weird. And in my
24:07nightmare, if Kelly Kapowski was
24:09taunting me, telling me I was ugly,
24:11I don't think I'd get out of bed for a week.
24:13No.
24:15Now, Mario Lopez, just
24:17beasting, just beasting more.
24:19Dude, we're not, no,
24:21the bell hasn't gone yet, Mario!
24:23Slow down! Wait, he wakes up in the morning.
24:25Yeah.
24:27Dude, I'd love to sit
24:29down with him nowadays and
24:31watch these clips with him
24:33and just get his kind of, you know, his
24:35inside mind and just recall it, you know?
24:37That'd be so wild.
24:39I think you need to use your Cadillacs.
24:41I gotta try. What did you
24:43think, I mean, legally,
24:45I don't think this was a very smart idea,
24:47waxing up a rampway for
24:49them to climb up?
24:51Yeah, I mean, you're,
24:53well, it's supposed to make it really tough to get up there,
24:55right? So hopefully they have on the right gear and the
24:57knee pads and the elbow pads, but basically
24:59it's setting you up to bust your
25:01front teeth without a doubt.
25:03Well, let's just see if any of these
25:05kids are that good at this.
25:07Oh, come on,
25:09Jody, you can do it!
25:11Dude, she's struggling hard, like
25:13real hard. Do you think she
25:15wakes up with knee issues every day
25:17and looks back at this event?
25:19She's getting back up, she's going for it, and
25:21no.
25:23This is a visual representation
25:25of me trying to make it through
25:27the work week.
25:29No,
25:31Brittany Murphy, get up!
25:33The fall is when you realize it's only
25:35Wednesday.
25:37You gotta make it to the weekend!
25:39Go, go, go, go, go!
25:41Make it to the weekend!
25:47Eddie.
25:49You gotta think, guys like Eddie
25:51and Zach and
25:53even Joey Lawrence, with
25:55them being older, a lot of the stuff was probably
25:57a lot easier for them because they're so much stronger,
25:59you know? Right, and they were kind of just
26:01taking all the kids' stars and it's like, you know,
26:03like everybody, there's some people who
26:05excel at sports and
26:07probably were at the gym
26:09taking different events
26:11and then there were other kids that, like, I don't know,
26:13Josh Byrne or something? Right.
26:15Clearly, he wasn't doing anything
26:17other than acting and maybe plays in
26:19video games. The next year,
26:21you'll see Mark from
26:23Step by Step show up and you're like, yeah,
26:25I know for a fact that kid is not
26:27doing crunches and ab exercises
26:29all day. Well, you know what's crazy?
26:31With as much star power as this
26:33has, to me, there's
26:35still one particular
26:37person that's missing
26:39that outshines all of them.
26:41Where in the world is Steve
26:43Urkel and why is he not a part of this?
26:45I could just see
26:47them shooting a little vignette and he accidentally
26:49knocks over the entire set.
26:51Yeah, and then he says,
26:53did I do that? It'd be great TV.
26:55I don't
26:57see him being in this kind of obstacle
26:59course.
27:01But you see Mark being
27:03a part of it? Alright, you gotta go all the way down
27:05dude. Those are half-hearted
27:07crunches, bro.
27:09And random Rocky from Rocky
27:11and Bo Winkle just watching.
27:13What are you doing? Come on.
27:15No, you can't go.
27:17I like to think that's
27:19how Rocky spends his days off away from Bo
27:21Winkle. But look at that.
27:23Dude, what an athlete and what
27:25a show off. He crushed the jump
27:27rope. Not only does he dive out of
27:29the pad, he has to do a front flip.
27:31Typical Zack Morris fashion.
27:33When I make it over there, just
27:35split second, they're going to be over there. So we're just
27:37going to rip through this course. Hopefully
27:39we'll win. Seems to be very smart
27:41in what he's doing. Now, you guys
27:43think it's kind of weird, probably
27:45at this point, how much Bob Golick
27:47has been in some of our episodes.
27:49But can you deny his comedy stylings?
27:51Almost like in
27:53this clip, he didn't know the camera
27:55was going.
27:57That was actually just how he was having lunch.
27:59Or
28:01he's just back at his old college days.
28:03He's stumbling around.
28:05Did he go to What's the Matter, Yale?
28:07Yeah. Dude.
28:09Bo Winkle, let's go.
28:11So
28:13earlier we also mentioned that there
28:15was a waitressing event. This
28:17is what they were talking about.
28:19Ah, okay.
28:21Yeah, and it kind of reminded me of Wild and Crazy Kids
28:23where they had that event where you spin your head
28:25on the baseball bat
28:27and then you get super dizzy and
28:29then try to walk a straight line.
28:31Not only are they going to try to walk a straight line,
28:33they're going to try to carry a tray, right?
28:35Exactly. This is very LA.
28:37The dizzy waitress.
28:41I don't give a crap how
28:43Tiffany Ambritheeson serves me a tray.
28:45Come on, Kelly. You got this.
28:47Come on, Kapowski.
28:49I don't know who Danny Pitaro is.
28:51Go, Kelly.
28:53They all just
28:55collided in the middle at each other.
28:59Well, look at her. If her acting career
29:01doesn't take off.
29:03You guys stuck me with this event.
29:05Yeah.
29:07Yo, look at him go.
29:09But he forgot his tray.
29:11No, dude. He was so
29:13hyped to get back that he forgot the tray.
29:15Oh, man.
29:17Bonehead move right there, bro.
29:19Then we had some rollerblading because it wasn't
29:21the 90s without a little rollerblading.
29:23Did you have a rollerblade?
29:25Absolutely. I loved inline skates.
29:27I would always bring them out to
29:29Happy Wheels. It was always
29:31easier for me, maybe just because
29:33we grew up and rollerblades
29:35inlines became a thing, but it was
29:37always so much easier for me to
29:39use those than regular rollerskates
29:41because the two wheels in the front, the two in the back,
29:43it just was a recipe
29:45for a broken tailbone. I'll tell you what.
29:47Yeah, it always felt
29:49like the rollerblade
29:51kind of
29:53the rollerskate kind of felt like it should
29:55be an easier way to balance yourself.
29:57But honestly, the inline, that was
29:59much easier because as long as you got the perfect
30:01stance, you're good.
30:03But on either or, the
30:05inlines or just the skates, you were getting
30:07blisters for days.
30:09And occasionally, even if
30:11you were a pro, just because of the road conditions,
30:13this happened.
30:17Oh, damn.
30:19Oh, wait.
30:21Get up. Put on your...
30:23Where's her helmet?
30:25Somebody get this girl a helmet, please.
30:27And this is JTT
30:29right here, right? Yeah.
30:31And essentially, these final
30:33events were just double dare.
30:35Yeah.
30:37Oh, you're going to go into a big optical
30:39and find something? Okay, okay.
30:41Zip around, zip around, zip around.
30:43Dude, he's pretty quick.
30:45What shoes is he wearing?
30:47Something that Jill bought
30:49for him.
30:51I'm just wondering what
30:53popular shoes those were. Are those
30:55LA Gears, maybe?
30:59Hey, there's Rocky.
31:01I saw Sonic tail.
31:03He probably told Jonathan Taylor Thomas
31:05he's got to go fast.
31:07Here goes Eddie.
31:11Dude, he's killing this
31:13right now. There's Woody Woodpecker.
31:15There's a certain age that you get, though,
31:17when going down a slide, it's more of a
31:19how do I not bust up my knee
31:21more than a how fun is this slide?
31:23Right, but then there's also an age that
31:25you get to where you couldn't pull off any of this
31:27stuff, and I think we're both at that age
31:29watching this, is making my back
31:31and my knees hurt. Is that the 5-0
31:33characters in the background?
31:35I think it might be. 5-0 goes west, right?
31:37And I'm pretty sure that's Harry and the Henderson
31:39hanging in the background, too.
31:41And there's Sonic. Could you imagine if
31:43Bob just
31:45both rubs and pulls him in
31:47and these kids just collide in the middle?
31:49Because you know he's strong enough to do it.
31:51Oh, well, he's an ex-NFL player. He's part
31:53of the dog pound. He's got the dog pound
31:55poster. Also,
31:57I did tell you, right, that I learned that
31:59the company who made all
32:01these posters is selling
32:03them as NFTs now.
32:05No. Yeah.
32:07Dude. See, to me,
32:09I wouldn't mind having
32:11that Golic poster right here, so
32:13if you ever want to gift that for me, our birthdays
32:15are coming up in the
32:17summertime, so
32:19I'll pop it right here for you.
32:21I'll just print you out a cheap copy.
32:23I printed out the Don
32:25Magic Man one, and I got him to sign
32:27it. That's freaking sweet, dude.
32:29I don't know how you pull off some of this.
32:31So this is the tug
32:33of war, and it pits Lawrence
32:35versus Lawrence. Zach versus Kelly.
32:37It's a civil war.
32:39The one
32:41New York kid against...
32:43Aw, look at the Giants cap, dude.
32:45I hate them. Little Giants
32:47style.
32:49Aw, dude, they're giving it all they got.
32:51What do they got in the back
32:53there as the anchor? Because he is not
32:55holding up.
32:57Aw, it's Lawrence.
33:01Oh, Zach.
33:03Zach is like, come on, you weaklings.
33:05Let's go. I think Zach Morris
33:07just got kicked in the face. He doesn't even care.
33:09Zach isn't letting Joey Lawrence
33:11beat him. There's no way.
33:15So what are you saying? That Zach's
33:17going to have to beat his wife?
33:19Come on, they got the win. It's over, right?
33:21Nope, someone's got to go in the pit.
33:23Oh, come on.
33:25Oh, he just
33:27gave up. He just gave up.
33:29Aw, Jody Sweetin's
33:31taking it to heart.
33:33Man.
33:35I'm bummed that he was like, you know what?
33:37We're done. We can't.
33:39We can't compete. We're done.
33:41He threw in the damn towel.
33:43You know what I'm bummed about? He's a showbiz
33:45kid. He couldn't have at least taken a
33:47pratfall into the water.
33:49Where's the comedy?
33:51If it were me, I would have dove in
33:53for sure. Because you've got to give the people
33:55what they want, right? Like if it was the Fresh
33:57Prince, Will would have known
33:59do a faceplant and act
34:01like you got totally defeated.
34:03But speaking of the Fresh
34:05Prince, the next year, Nintendo
34:07took over and they got our
34:09host, Alfonso Ribeiro
34:11and Downtown
34:13Julie Brown.
34:15Hi, I'm Alfonso Ribeiro. And I'm Downtown Julie Brown.
34:17Welcome to the Universal Studios. And for some reason,
34:19Harry and the Hendersons.
34:21Yep.
34:25Slim Jim.
34:27So I want you to know that nearly
34:29only 20-25 seconds go by
34:31before Alfonso is already doing his
34:33Michael Jackson impression.
34:41There you go.
34:45So just because it couldn't get
34:47any weirder than
34:49Alfonso Ribeiro and Julie
34:51Brown, you also have Harry and the Hendersons
34:53and the
34:55Macho Man? The Macho
34:57Man Randy Savage about to
34:59show up and show out.
35:03I like how she said Macho Man.
35:07Dude, there he is.
35:11Full Slim Jim here, dude.
35:13And you know what's
35:15crazy about it is he's the most natural host
35:17of the three.
35:19Probably the least prepped
35:21and you wouldn't even know it.
35:23Oh dude, yeah.
35:25They didn't give him lines. He's just coming up with this off the top.
35:27Yeah, he just said
35:29in some other stuff that
35:31defies description. It just means
35:33I don't know what else is coming up.
35:35No.
35:37So the 93 Star
35:39Kids games was a
35:41little less star studded because
35:43they cut down on the amount of teams.
35:45That was just crazy
35:47overloaded. That was like Avengers Endgame
35:49or something going on in that last one.
35:51Yep. And I
35:53just want to point out here
35:55just when you thought this couldn't get
35:57any more 90s with everything you've seen
35:59on screen, all of a
36:01sudden we're going to get a Joey Lawrence
36:03pre-tape that is literally like
36:05he was bothered to give them five
36:07seconds. I want to introduce
36:09our field reporters, Joey Lawrence from
36:11Blossom who's already out in the field.
36:13Do the thing.
36:15Yo, what's up, Julie? I've been talking
36:17to some of the Star Kids and they cannot wait for the
36:19games to start. How many of you guys eat snacks?
36:21He is just not into
36:23it. He got really big
36:25within the last year and I can't remember
36:27if it was the one year before the other one
36:29when they cut away to his
36:31Nothing My Love Can Fix music video.
36:33That was part of his contract.
36:35Yep, that's right.
36:37We've got Justin Burnett from Heart
36:39Retire. No idea who that is.
36:41I know that kid
36:43from Roseanne for sure. Good show.
36:45Yeah, I've had some school photos. It looked
36:47a lot like Michael Fishman. Dude, Omar
36:49he was on Nickelodeon as
36:51well. Wasn't he like the host of
36:53Wild and Crazy Kids? Yes.
36:55Who did
36:57Drexel's class bribe to get on these things?
36:59I remember her, but I've never seen Blossom.
37:01Lisa! Lisa!
37:03Lisa!
37:07Aw, the world's broken.
37:09He just needs a bandaid.
37:11Dude, I like him. Step by step.
37:13Great show.
37:15Let's just shoot everybody at a
37:1745 degree angle.
37:23Darius. The big man, yeah
37:25because he's way more advanced than
37:27everybody else. Yeah, because he's playing varsity
37:29basketball.
37:33California Dreams. I know her, but I've never
37:35seen that show. JTT
37:37from Home Improvement.
37:39He's just waiting until he can age out.
37:41It's like the NCAA.
37:43Michael K
37:45from California Dreams.
37:47Brandon Kahl
37:49from Step by Step. Brandon Kahl.
37:51Macho sounds like it's
37:53some ring announcing going on.
37:55Yeah, like this is about to be a fight.
37:57Hayley Johnson from Kids Incorporated.
37:59Is going to fight
38:01Celine Dion.
38:03Gosh.
38:05He got his lunch stolen
38:07a hundred times.
38:09He's going to be like a
38:11big time actress.
38:15You know how often Macho Man's watching
38:17227.
38:21It's not a school picture, Josh.
38:25No, to be fair, it does kind of look
38:27like a school picture.
38:29Alright, this guy's 24.
38:35Well, she
38:37certainly won't stay in frame.
38:39Star Trek? What?
38:45And Harry came to support her.
38:47Dude, the VL guy needs to hurry up.
38:53Dude, there are some crews here.
38:55There's a cast for sure.
38:57You lost a lot of you saved
38:59by the bell people.
39:01If they were too old last
39:03year, they're going to be even older now.
39:05Well, then how did Lark get
39:07there? And why is Darius
39:09sticking around?
39:11Because Lark Voorhees wasn't part of last
39:13year, so she had to contractually
39:15she was obligated to do one of them.
39:17Are you telling me they couldn't afford them
39:19because they got the
39:21Lime mascot?
39:23Looney Lime?
39:25Looney Lime mascot? That's what took up all their
39:27budget to get these guys?
39:29Definitely.
39:34They have colorful characters.
39:36Who's the most colorful character there so far?
39:38Macho Man Randy Savage,
39:40without a doubt.
39:50Look at that, they love him.
39:52And yet they don't give a crap about the
39:54Sasquatch in the background.
39:56Dude, I love that Shaq shirt
39:58that Alfonso
40:00has on.
40:02Yeah, it's very old school
40:04Shaq. I don't know, Shaq's
40:06just awesome. I just saw a commercial where he's singing
40:08REO Speedwagon in the shower, and I'm like
40:10I could hang out with Shaq.
40:12Him and me, bumping
40:14REO Speedwagon. What more do you want?
40:16And soon we're going to have Hulk Hogan defend
40:18his shilling championship
40:20against Shaq, right?
40:22I'm worried. I think Shaq's going to take
40:24it.
40:26I don't know, brother.
40:32Cause it's the only
40:34thing I want to do.
40:36Now another thing that is
40:38very 90s about this is
40:40they have to explain VR technology
40:42to you. And
40:44by to you, I mean to Macho Man
40:46who's the everyday commenter.
40:48And you know what, this whole bit,
40:50I thought it was the biggest miss
40:52on the entire
40:54episode. Because essentially
40:56you're just watching these kids wearing these
40:58virtual reality
41:00goggles, and mind you, this is 90s virtual
41:02reality. And you don't actually
41:04get to see any of the game
41:06until the very end.
41:08You're like, oh my gosh, what is this
41:10just monstrosity that they were
41:12playing? This looks terrible.
41:14When I watched it for the first
41:16time, I was waiting. I'm like, alright, they keep
41:18showing these clips of these kids in goggles
41:20and I'm like, what are they doing?
41:22Yeah, nowadays with
41:24the way gaming conventions
41:26and gaming tournaments and
41:28all that stuff goes on,
41:30they would have had multiple feeds everywhere.
41:32But here, it's just like your dad
41:34with a camcorder being like, yep,
41:36you're playing the game, play the game. And somebody later
41:38on going like, show them what the game
41:40is! We didn't pay this much!
41:42Geez, you're just
41:44watching them just click
41:46with their hands. It's weird, man.
41:48It's a completely artificial computer simulated
41:50environment. Exactly. Wow, that sounds
41:52quite nice. Spit that out quick.
41:54Hey, guys!
41:56Look at how
41:58big the headset is. I love that.
42:00You couldn't
42:02travel with that thing. Yeah, so this is
42:04what you're talking about here is
42:06they're playing a virtual reality game and you're like,
42:08I don't know what they're playing. I don't know. This is boring.
42:10It'd be like
42:12watching your friend play Xbox
42:14but you can't see the screen. You're just watching
42:16them move around the controller.
42:18Playing the Kinect, basically.
42:20Yeah.
42:22Yeah, out of
42:24all the events, this was
42:26the hardest one to follow.
42:28I would've been like, wait, what the hell
42:30is this? It feels like
42:32the Fighter in Balls or something.
42:36Yeah, good shooting with the banana.
42:42Yeah, you're shooting gumballs. Is that a hummingbird?
42:48Gosh, what
42:50is this? Could they not have played like a Nintendo
42:52game? Could they not have just played
42:54Super Mario 3? Well, they do
42:56play Star Fox in just a second.
42:58But I could just imagine you being inside
43:00like last year's. It's like, wow, this is quite a competition.
43:02This one, apparently, would be
43:04yelling at you like, why are you wasting
43:06your Saturday watching this? You're just
43:08watching other people play video
43:10games. What are they
43:12shooting? A gumball and a hummingbird?
43:14Go outside.
43:16Get outside. I got things you can do.
43:18And I don't think this is
43:20the greatest ad for VR.
43:22This kid is clearly nauseous.
43:24And he's just not telling you.
43:36As he just projectile vomits
43:38over the entire cast and
43:40crew. I think this kid
43:42just threw up. Yep.
43:44Now, Hilary Swank,
43:46the most accomplished actress
43:48out of all these kids.
43:50Well, let's just get her on the rope course
43:52here and see if all that training from Mr.
43:54Miyagi helped her out.
43:58Dude, she's tearing it up.
44:00Oh gosh. You spoke too soon.
44:02And then poor Karen.
44:04From step by step.
44:06Nice form.
44:08She's got it.
44:12But Eddie's got it.
44:14Oh gosh, Eddie, you're going too quick, dude.
44:16Look at him. Eddie can walk on
44:18water.
44:20Somebody get that man a new contract.
44:24Alright, he's way too old for this event
44:26if he could just power his way through.
44:28Dude, he's a collegiate
44:30athlete. He can't
44:32be a part of this. But who is
44:34your favorite athlete out of all these
44:36competitors? Lisa Turtle.
44:38And why was that?
44:40Because she proved to us
44:42that she's a significant
44:44better actress than she is athlete.
44:46You can tell she was just nervous
44:48that a nail was going to break.
44:50Just gave up.
44:52Watch this, ready?
44:56How did you miss it?
45:00Golly.
45:02Then we get to this event
45:04and it had to have been a commercial tie-in
45:06to get you to buy this product, which apparently
45:08was only sold for like two years,
45:10called Scram Ball.
45:12Scram Ball.
45:14So they actually play this
45:16in the event, right?
45:18Yes. To me, this was just pretty
45:20much what we would play in gym
45:22when I was about this age. It was either
45:24dodgeball or crackabout
45:26you called it. But this was an interesting one
45:28because once
45:30somebody had control of the ball, you weren't allowed to
45:32move. Yes.
45:34And if you moved, you're out of here.
45:36Which kind of, to me, makes
45:38it a lot more tough, of course, but
45:40it also takes a little bit of the fun out of it, no?
45:42Yeah, and
45:44in this event, too, like the referee
45:46was constantly calling people out
45:48for moving, but
45:50giving them almost no slack. And if
45:52you're playing and you say freeze
45:54and you're in midair,
45:56you still get a lock in place.
45:58And if you're falling like that, that's just gravity.
46:00That's not even you. Right. In theory,
46:02you should only be out if you get hit with the ball.
46:04Not by moving. You're supposed to move.
46:06This defeats the entire
46:08purpose of go out and play.
46:10They did it just to screw over Eddie Winslow.
46:12Yeah. Here's Scramball
46:14and this is another thing, if you
46:16go online, is incredibly expensive
46:18to buy.
46:20Scramball?
46:22Scramball is played in the Scramball Arena.
46:24The Scramball Arena!
46:26Wow!
46:28Downtown Julie Brown, the team whose color
46:30on the Scramball... So it's like
46:32a ball, but it's a big die, you know?
46:34Or roll it.
46:36Oh!
46:38Yeah, she's
46:40doing a knife-edge chop, Alfonso.
46:42Alright.
46:44To be fair,
46:46Alfonso's about to say this.
46:48Tell me you don't want to hit him now.
46:50How are you on a bike?
46:52Put me on two wheels and I'm a speed demon.
46:54All I want to do is zoom, zoom, zoom.
46:56No holding me back.
46:58You want to pelt him now, right?
47:00Macho, knife-edge chop
47:02him again, please.
47:04So now,
47:06this year, we're going to get the kids on bicycles.
47:08We gave them a little bit more room to do their thing.
47:10Yeah.
47:12Do you think this turns out about as well as rollerblading?
47:14Ah, this is going to be way worse,
47:16because they're higher in the air,
47:18and there's less control of the bike.
47:20I feel like that bike's too big for her.
47:22Yeah, I think it is, too.
47:24That's a...
47:26Definitely too big.
47:28It might even be a boys' mountain bike.
47:30Yeah, dude, I don't know.
47:32That's tough. On the bike,
47:34and it's like tight quarters.
47:36And you're on a mountain bike.
47:38You're not even on a BMX bike.
47:40Like a smaller bike, you know?
47:42So, this whole event
47:44almost felt like,
47:46I don't know, some weird trip, right?
47:48Yeah, well, I mean,
47:50look at the visual right now.
47:52It looks like Macho's on a BMX bike.
47:54It looks like Macho's on a BMX bike.
47:56It looks like Macho's on a BMX bike.
47:58Look at the visual right now.
48:00It looks like Macho Man and Frankenstein
48:02are about to have a cage match.
48:04A cage match? I think you meant to say
48:06a drug PSA.
48:08What?
48:10Oh, hey there, yeah.
48:12I was just talking to my friend Frankie here,
48:14and I was telling him not to start on drugs.
48:16Oh, were you?
48:18It doesn't surprise me that Macho Man
48:20is friends with Frankenstein.
48:22You know, if he started with drugs,
48:24he'd have to be a dummy.
48:26A dummy?
48:28Oh, shit.
48:30Hey, I said dummy, not mummy.
48:32Not mummy.
48:36Alright.
48:38That was pretty good, though.
48:40But what a segue.
48:42I was just sitting here talking about drugs
48:44with Frankenstein.
48:46Wait, what?
48:48Jeff, I'm just sitting here talking about drugs
48:50with Frankenstein.
48:52Frankenstein looks like he's on all the downers.
48:56I said dummy, not mummy.
48:58That's pretty good stuff.
49:00I thought that was pretty good.
49:02Especially because it's telling kids to not do drugs.
49:04I like it.
49:06And if you're not like your idol Frankenstein,
49:08what are you?
49:10And the mummy's having a pretty rough day
49:12because now Mario's going to go over and harass him
49:14for some reason.
49:16I think we needed an anti-bully PSA, too.
49:18We might have.
49:20Here in the Nintendo Star Fox event,
49:22all four teams will compete at the same time
49:24with two players switching on.
49:28Aw, come on, Mario. That ain't right.
49:30That ain't right, bro.
49:32What a dick.
49:34Right up in his ear?
49:36That's just not good. Not nice.
49:38He didn't even play it off like,
49:40oh, I don't know the settings to this thing,
49:42and oh, it just went off.
49:44He just deliberately said, nope.
49:46Right in his ear.
49:48It'd have been good if he was like,
49:50wait, how does this...
49:52That's a dink move, bro.
49:54This time, we're actually going to get a real video game.
49:56I think everybody in the 90s
49:58would have had their mind blown
50:00to know that Macho Man's going to tell you
50:02what it's like to play Star Fox.
50:08And this is how they got the little kids involved.
50:10It's like, kids can play video games.
50:12Yes.
50:18So this was on the Super Nintendo, right?
50:20Yes.
50:22So those were the Star Kid events.
50:24One for Sega, one for Nintendo,
50:26and every teen star was there.
50:28Jeff, how much did this blow your mind?
50:30You know, just because of the star power
50:32that was involved, I think that's what blew my mind
50:34the most, and also
50:36how they convinced all of them
50:38to be a part of this. You know what I mean?
50:40And I think the other part
50:42that was super strange to me was
50:44the older cast. You know, you got the
50:46Zaks and the Eddies and
50:48you know, Lisa Turtle
50:50and some of these guys were just
50:52purebred athletes, and then you could
50:54clearly tell which ones weren't.
50:56So I would have liked to see more
50:58like brains and skill stuff
51:00involved too to kind of even out the field,
51:02no?
51:04That could have been interesting, actually.
51:06Now, how could they do this event today,
51:08right?
51:10Do they all play the Switch and do different
51:12Switch events? Let's book it.
51:14So, who would
51:16be the three hosts
51:18for this event? Nowadays?
51:20Yeah, nowadays. Number one would
51:22have to be Mario Lopez,
51:24right? He'd have to be the main host.
51:26Yeah, I think he would have to be the host. And you're definitely
51:28getting some of the Cobra Kai kids involved.
51:30Yeah, for sure. I can see you getting the Stranger
51:32Things kids.
51:34Yup. Euphoria.
51:36I mean, it could be a huge
51:38get to land Spider-Man. You know
51:40what I mean? Oh, yeah.
51:42Well, geez. I don't know if you can get him.
51:44Maybe you can't
51:46land Tom Holland, but it's kind of tough to
51:48book because TV,
51:50you know, like all these
51:52kids that we watch, they're all from sitcoms
51:54and those aren't really even a thing.
51:56Those aren't just really a thing. Those aren't a thing
51:58anymore at all. So it'd be kind of
52:00tough to book it.
52:02I guess you'd get like your Disney and your Nickelodeon
52:04kids, but Disney doesn't want to work with Nickelodeon
52:06as much as these.
52:08And then, yeah, there's no like
52:10middle ground
52:12prime time sort of
52:14kid based.
52:16Edgier than Disney and Nick,
52:18but not so edgy that
52:20they couldn't just be watched by
52:22kids anyway. Yeah.
52:24So it would probably have to be like the
52:26battle of the streaming platforms.
52:28Hulu versus Netflix
52:30versus HBO Max
52:32versus Tubi.
52:34And Tubi would be like
52:36the lowest rent team
52:38possible. Tubi would have kids off
52:40the street. Yeah, just random
52:42kids that wanted to just get down and
52:44participate.
52:46Just like bringing in
52:48random kids from the local YMCA.
52:50They'd be this
52:52version of like the Drexels
52:54or Fly Away Home or something.
52:56At least those folks were
52:58on TV. I just had
53:00never seen those shows before.
53:02Yeah.
53:04Well, that was Star
53:06Kids. I would recommend
53:08checking it out online.
53:10It's right there.
53:12And if you just want to have some fun and watch
53:14Mark Paul Gosler
53:16Beast Mode on some kids, go straight
53:18Brock Lesnar on them. Right.
53:20That's your event right
53:22there. There it is, man.
53:24There it is. You know, and I'm
53:26over here thinking like a lot of the
53:28kids or kids at the time that were
53:30a part of this, a lot of them
53:32probably aren't doing much anymore.
53:34And they'd probably be willing to make like
53:36select podcast appearances.
53:38And I'm just thinking how cool it would
53:40be if, you know, you don't
53:42do the
53:44typical interview and ask them
53:46about the career, but it's like, no.
53:48We're here today to specifically
53:50talk about Star Kids.
53:52And your involvement in it, go.
53:54Could you just imagine Darius answers
53:56that question? He goes, I wanted
53:58to destroy them.
54:00I wanted to win at all costs.
54:02And when I lost, I was humiliated
54:04for two months.
54:06And I trained every day for the next year.
54:08And you'd be like, for Star Kids?
54:10Jesus, dude. You're competitive,
54:12huh?
54:14Why do I feel like Mario Lopez would be the guy who said that?
54:16Oh, dude. Yeah.
54:18I locked myself in a room and did push-ups
54:20for every time I fumbled.
54:22Yep.
54:24Okay. Psycho.
54:2610,000 push-ups, 50,000
54:28crunches.
54:30Well, that explains a lot, Mario.
54:32Wait, you didn't even
54:34come back for Star Kids the next year? I got
54:36busy. Yeah, I mean, I just, like, twitched
54:38for myself for fun. You know, my whole broadcasting
54:40and hosting career took off.
54:42Sorry, Star Kids.
54:44I had to go do, what the heck?
54:46Pacific Blue or Pacific...
54:48What the heck is that? Pacific... Yeah, no, that's right.
54:50Pacific Blue, yes.
54:52It's a pop show with the bikes.
54:54With the bikes? Yep.
54:56Well, Jeff, if they like this and maybe
54:58want to suggest a future episode or comment on this
55:00and tell us their thoughts, because
55:02I need more people to talk about this.
55:04Yeah, I'm real curious
55:06to know how many
55:08of you even knew about Star Kids?
55:10How many of you have even seen it? Or, you know,
55:12let us know in the comments if you're seeing this for the
55:14first time. But if you enjoyed the content,
55:16like, comment, and subscribe
55:18or even share with a friend
55:20that is real nostalgic for
55:22the 90s like you are.
55:24And wants to see something that they
55:26totally, probably have never seen before.
55:28You know, there's one clip that we didn't see
55:30and it was
55:32the main event. It was
55:34Eddie versus Mario in a
55:36boxing fight.
55:38Oh, God.
55:40Zach Morris would win. The end.
55:42Absolutely.
