Starting point is 00:00:00 here we go with the final piece of a 98 content eric's favorite year the last good year in eric's opinion we are going to do something a little bit unique for the end of the season it's the holiday time and something that i was worried was just specific to my childhood experience but seems to be universal and and everyone i've talked to for the most part went through the process of as a kid getting a christmas catalog at least to people of a certain age where you get to look through like all of the classic gift items fuck you gavin and you can circle maybe what you want you could just see sort of what's out there it was such an exciting time like all of the classic gift items. Fuck you, Gavin. And you can circle maybe what you want.
Starting point is 00:00:46 You can just see sort of what's out there. It was such an exciting time as a kid to look through it like all the cool toys that you're never going to get. It was just fun. It was an iconic part
Starting point is 00:00:56 of at least my childhood and it sounds like many others. So this is a, to me, definitive catalog which is the Sears catalog. Winter 98.
Starting point is 00:01:10 We're going to get a great look at what the fashion was at the time of 98. The toys. Just sort of a general full collection of what you could expect in 98. Isn't it funny how much possibility that catalog represented in your childhood? Like you're talking about like your parents weren't going to buy you any of that shit. Like my mom was never the mom that was like, here, circle what you want in the catalog. I'll get it for you.
Starting point is 00:01:32 I was always like, hey, I went ahead and circled all this stuff so you can get it for me. My mom would be like, yeah, I'm buying you the USS Flag aircraft carrier for G.I. Joe. Sure, I'll get right on that. That's $500. But when I was a kid, if I circled it, I thought it was possible. It was possible. Yeah, it's a great way of putting it i also just we're gonna get some great photos of
Starting point is 00:01:51 the time as well like there's gonna be a lot of bullshit in this i love going through these old catalogs because there are things that you look at and just go that never worked somebody was excited and bought that at the time that was never how they advertised it that just didn't work i used to think that constantly when i saw kids playing with like virtual reality i was like that's gonna that's so cool there's no way that worked there's no way that was any fun so uh nick are you screen your screen capture i got it i got you all right cool so you guys can watch the video version of this over on our youtube channel or over on F***FacePod.com if you want to watch the video version. No payments until the 1st of Feb. Wow. Until the 1st of
Starting point is 00:02:28 Feb 1999. See, truly the best year. We could wait. Yeah, good stuff. All you had to do was die before February 1st, 1999. That's all you had to do. You had one full month to enjoy all your gifts and then you could die. Fingers crossed.
Starting point is 00:02:43 So this is the Sears catalog, the Wishbook Holiday 1998 catalog that we're going through. Andrew sent me a link. Maybe we'll include that link here for you guys if you want to jog through it. Oh! Check this out. New Rhythms.
Starting point is 00:02:58 New Rhythms drum kit. That font. Do you think that particular drum kit exists in use anywhere on earth today i no no i don't well now it's just called rhythms like what do you think happens to all they just end up in landfills somewhere they must have made thousands of them must have existed right oh for sure that drum kit that just says rock on it is definitely in a landfill somewhere. I mean, when you look at the kid at the top in the jean jacket shirt, he's playing a kick drum, a cymbal, a snare, and then three more slightly smaller snares that I think are supposed to be Toms and are definitely not. It also appears that they've dressed him
Starting point is 00:03:45 in a denim shirt that has a zipper pocket as if they don't trust him not to bend over. Yeah. But boy, everyone had this haircut. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I want to draw attention as well to the product names of a flare for the snare.
Starting point is 00:04:02 So is this like a modular thing? Are you buying individual drums here are they all different full sets it i think it's different kits like you can see the one on the left that says rock is c and that's never miss a beat the one at the bottom is d which is perfect percussions oh the classic one is kid blue keeps it cool i want to be kid blue. Absolutely. I feel like we immediately need two things. We need anyone who has
Starting point is 00:04:28 any of these items to post pictures in the comments if for some reason you have this. Yes. I feel like we also need an inflation calculator. Oh boy.
Starting point is 00:04:36 Dude, we absolutely need an inflation calculator. I saw a story the other day. Nick, will you get an inflation calculator going? I guess every year some organization figures out how much it would cost to give the gifts from the 12 days of Christmas.
Starting point is 00:04:50 And apparently this year it's the most expensive ever. It would be like 48 grand to give those 12 gifts. Eight Lords of Leaping costs how much? A lot. Terrible. So here's... Oh, fuck. Gifts for... Oh oh it's the little critter guy oh that spinning lullaby ball i remember that
Starting point is 00:05:12 the season's best baby's first christmas it was that baby uh lullaby ball? Was that a hand-me-up from one of your... I remember it lighting up, and it would spin and make music. Oh, wow. I like that he's riding a zebra. Kevin, your brother's tired of playing with his... He needs this more than he does. He's got a Super Nintendo. You can have his lullaby light ball. I like the zebra as a choice for a kid to be writing i think yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:05:47 it's great they were working on taming them back then so what consoles would be in this are we talking n64 era around yeah it would be yeah this would be the 64 playstation playstation one yeah yeah these twins are too cute they're nightmares yeah that's a horror story too cute. They're nightmares. That's a horror story. Too cute. Handcrafted amour. Great as a child. The thing I want in amour. It's hard to tell the scale of some
Starting point is 00:06:13 of this shit. It is. Big time. Mini grand for little hands. Alright. I think we've bled all the comedy
Starting point is 00:06:23 out of that page. Oh that kid is so fucking happy this is or terrified potato head felt mr potato you can't you can't take his pieces off it's just him so what's the point interactive oh he's got 50 knock knock jokes oh my i feel like they've taken all of what a potato head is and removed it. Well, they made him a stand-up comedian. He's got 15 knock-knock jokes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:54 He also, you kid his hat and he won't tell you the joke until the kid says, who's there? That's like buying a pre-assembled Lego set, but it's all glued. Yeah. That's like you walk into a room and that Mr. Potato Head's just knock just waiting for anyone to respond to what's this globe you mean like color in the planet what's happening there odyssey the world's first atlas sphere combines the finest qualities of a globe atlas and computer to yeah i think you use the pen it's a pen that reads out the country yeah and then it tells you stuff about it i think that's oh it's facts like population and all that stuff three hundred dollars then that's like a seven hundred dollar hunk of shit
Starting point is 00:07:38 300 back in 98 it's 563 and 16 that's a0.16. Fuck you! That's a PS5. That's more than a PS5. And that's just Google Maps now. Yep. And also good luck finding a computer that'll run that fucking program. Oh yeah. Oh shit. Jesus Christ. That's fucking crazy. Wow.
Starting point is 00:08:00 What? What? Gavin, look! Feet! That's an abominable snowman he's only a magic show i bet there's like a rope in there there's the magic one wow i think i had that of course the magic show yeah i was terrible at it i was gonna say it's definitely listeners of this podcast at home are probably looking at this and going i had that that doesn't surprise me at all i had a little magic show and it had a rope in it to do rope tricks and then i think a week after i got it i found the rope tied around the neck of a uh like a plushie dog that my one of my siblings had just taken the rope and used it as a leash and i could never undo the
Starting point is 00:08:41 knot and it just stayed on the dog for the rest of time was it the same rope trick that the driver at the ghost tour showed us in qs oh good stuff remember that where he tied the knot in half and then there wasn't yeah i bet i bet the instructions for that were in the book obviously i had a dog on the end of my rope which would have hindered some of the timing i had a thing that was like the little air hockey thing when I was a kid. It was really small, and it wasn't like a blue air. It was just a little thing.
Starting point is 00:09:12 But I loved it. It was great. I'm getting Bonsai Buddy vibes off the balloon. Oh, this is the thing that I had. I had this. The smallest pool table. Five in one? I had the five in table. Five in one? I had the five in one.
Starting point is 00:09:28 Yeah, someone gave it to me for my birthday when I was like 10. I think I turned 10, and I had that. I did too. It was great. Hands off my stuff. Look at that. Dude, I could have kept my rope in there. Yep.
Starting point is 00:09:40 You get to put your baseball cards, one baseball, one dog uh uh tennis ball my favorite thing about the five and one is it was so cool of an idea as a kid but it was play these five games poorly like none of them worked they were all terrible yeah they they were it was not good like the felt for the it wasn't even like felt for the pool. And then the bowling never really rolled right. And the basketball was fun because it was just a little thing
Starting point is 00:10:13 that like launched a little ball. That was fun. So is this the first item that somebody from this podcast physically owned that we've run into yet? Nick said he had the- Oh, right. You had the magic.
Starting point is 00:10:26 Yeah, some variation of that magic set. I believe that kid in the green shirt is Elon Musk, and that's where his Mars... I think if you were to read his lips, he's yelling Mars. I turned 23 in 1998. So you had to keep the hands off my stuff?
Starting point is 00:10:41 I don't know that I'm going to have had any of these things other than the playstation but we'll see okay you say so oh man oh you didn't have that truck chef i wish i did you had the nascar golden car get real monday night football lighted stadium i definitely didn't know more. No more fumbles. Cool haircuts, guys. What is it? It's just like the thing where it rumbles and the things move?
Starting point is 00:11:12 I think so. Where's John Madden? Yeah. No more fumbles in the night with the electric football stadium that really lights up the atmosphere. Damn. Nick is excited about it now for some reason. I'm a child at heart. Realistic crowds.
Starting point is 00:11:30 Well, the realistic crowd is just these two kids. And a golden NASCAR. Yeah, but it's Sears exclusive, so I can't imagine anyone has that, you know. No one has Sears anymore. Yeah. They bulldozed the sears in austin i think when they started it's gone baby it's sad oh pop shot oh i love those i was always so jealous
Starting point is 00:11:54 of the electric cars that you actually drive around as a kid that was i never had one and i just think it would have been great dude i'm 48 years old and there's a little girl in our neighborhood who drives around in a Barbie dream car and I get annoyed and jealous when I see it. Yeah, people just like little kids driving around in G-wagons. With the release of Halo Infinite, they made a little Warthog electric one for kids.
Starting point is 00:12:18 I've never wanted anything more. Oh my god, I gotta get that for my kids. That's so cool. Oh, you need, yeah! Nick, get on. We're gonna live vicariously through my son. Let's do this. Oh, that's great. Hey, Andrew, do you think you would have benefited from those snowshoes up in Canada?
Starting point is 00:12:35 I definitely would have, but I also would have been incredibly disappointed if that's the thing I got out of that page. What is the thing you want the least on this page? Oh, man. Okay. Probably the dad clock because it looks like dowels.
Starting point is 00:12:52 I think I would take the mom. I don't want the mom clock. I don't want whatever this package thing is for the bottom for birds. I don't care about birds. Yeah, I don't need the sun nature's beauty. It's where you keep the birds after you catch them. Yeah, but you've got the binoculars to perv on people, so
Starting point is 00:13:07 that's true. Yeah, that's true. You can perv on the birds. But you can go fishing with your tackle box handheld game. Can you? For Radica. Yeah. Oh, that looks great. Lunker Bass. Fishing for fun anywhere, anytime. Game of the year, Lunker Bass.
Starting point is 00:13:24 Game of the year. Once they added mic of the year, Lunker Bass. Game of the year. Once they added microtransactions to Lunker Bass, it was never the same. It's a real pay-to-win thing now. You just pay to catch the fish. Dude, fucking fish skins. It's ridiculous. Fish skins? What? Oh!
Starting point is 00:13:42 I want that frog. What a monster. The bullfrog okay i like that he's for some reason is also just wearing flip-flops like why were why was that important to his outfit he's got he's like he's got a t-shirt on he's got he's like a beach guy he's got his chilling fucking frog genitals out but he's got his feet covered he's got that frog hog out he's covering it with his foot right now what's this giant thing do you think if we called

Starting point is 00:14:28 I'm going to see if I can buy this bullfrog off eBay. This is good. The batter up thing probably just does not. I mean, it's probably like little wiffle balls or whatever. FM radio watch.
Starting point is 00:14:40 Whoa. Wait, I can't see the number. Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you'd already dialed it. No, I was about to go to the next page. Oh. Okay, I sent the warthog to my wife. Let's see what she says.

Jesus Christ, no. I don't think so, but that's pretty cool. I've only heard when the donkey was on your back in your first time embracing death. No, I was on the back of a donkey on a beach, and it just took off with me on the back.
Starting point is 00:34:04 And I was about five, and I just thought, well, a donkey on a beach and it just took off with me on the back and I was about five and I just thought, well, I can't hold on because I'm slipping off.

Starting point is 00:54:40 Oh, you can be a vet. This is fun. It can't be for the parents because as a parent, I know when your kid is this age, you either buy what they point at on the TV
Starting point is 00:54:50 or you just go 10 minutes before like the night before and go, oh, fuck, and you run to Target and you just buy what's there. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:22:56 find the Playboy magazine in his room so he just took photos using the Gameboy camera so that was like the only point of porn he had whenever I see Gameboy camera so that was like the only point of porn he had. Whenever I see Game Boy camera, I think of like shit bootleg porn. That's a good idea. Printed refills
Starting point is 01:23:12 $20. Nick just said that's a good idea. Like he's gonna run out and grab a Game Boy camera right now so he can tell all his porn. I'm old enough to not need to do that. Wit. Also married.

Starting point is 01:24:10 They are expensive. Who's in the world? Did games get cheaper, or were they always... That's like over $100 now. Well, 64 games are expensive. They're always the same. Yeah, the games have been the same price, and that's the thing that you always hear now is like,
Starting point is 01:24:24 oh, we're losing all this money on these games because we had to open to $70 or whatever, and you look back at this stuff, and they were $65 or whatever. But it's like, I'm not going to pay $110 for a video game. Yeah, I remember my N64 games were like £49, and then I think Donkey Kong 64 was like £60. Oh, yeah, because it came with the expansion.
Starting point is 01:24:44 Expansion. I don't think you'd ever see... Donkey Kong 64 was like £60. Oh, yeah. Because it came with the expansion. I don't think you'd ever see... Bomberman Hero is a game title that exists pre-9-11. You're not getting Bomberman Hero post that. I remember Bomberman Hero. I did achieve my 100 guides in that game, I think.

Starting point is 01:26:28 Oh, yeah. I didn't even see that one. I remember getting stuck on Mission Impossible because one of the objectives in the first level was you have to get the score, and it was like a music thing.
