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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

of this shit. It is. Big time. Mini grand for little hands. Alright. I think we've bled all the comedy

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

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?

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.

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

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.

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?

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.

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

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.

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!

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

this number 1-800-775-5555 our dreams would come true yeah yeah yeah call it someone call it where wishes come true. Should I call it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Call it. Yeah. Someone call it. All right, I'm calling it. All right. Where wishes come true.

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.

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.

Thank you for calling. Just for calling today, you're entitled to a retail rebate of $100. Hell yeah, good Australia. Press 1 now for more information. Okay. Or you can hang up. You should hang up. I think you're on a list now.

Well, we don't know what we're... Who have we called? Some Australian woman. Does she have access to the bullfrog? I'll ask. Where's my frog? The frog? Bullfrog?

Bullfrog. If they don't have that, see if they have the Hydro Zap still. Hi, can I have the Bullfrog? Hello? That's Mr. Bullfrog to you. Can I have the Bullfrog, please? Isn't it fucking weird how somehow in 2023 we can't even engage with spam?

Like they won't even let you. He has the bullfrog and he won't give it to you. Andrew found one. I found $70. Oh my God. How much was it originally? $34.99. It was $34.99.

So inflation calculated, Nick. $34.99 is?, Nick. 3499 is 65, 68. Oh, you're getting ripped off. You're getting ripped off. No, you're getting ripped off,

dude. That's pretty close. I would send him a message and say, I won't pay a dime over 65, 58 or whatever. HydroZap. Yeah, I think,

I think it's like a, like a quiz game and then it sprays you in the face oh my god we have got to get that all right find a hydra's that hydro let's fill it with horseradish oh yeah horserad that's hydro zap stuff that stings what if three of them are filled with that and then one of them is filled with piss and nobody gets to know and mix it up oh dude you can buy hydro zap for 20 bucks what how much it's 1999 with the inflation calculator nick how much is that uh let's find out it is 37 52 and these things are really maintaining their value it is new37.52. These things are really maintaining their value.

It is new in box, I believe cheaper than what it was at that time. I have an eBay link for one. Remember when you were a kid and grown-up shampoo stung your eyes way more than kid shampoo? Yes. We should put grown-up shampoo in that thing. Grown-up shampoo.

We gotta throw out the pert. Did you ever do the thing where you would walk through like the laundry soap aisle of the grocery store and it was like getting baby maced? Like it would burn your eyes? Having to go through my sensitive newer eyes. Baby maced eyes I would avoid I'd avoid the cleaning supply

man I'd be pissed if I bought that kid blue shit now I'm looking at other drums there's more to find out about page 7 with the oh I could have had a drum kit that said rock on it what's this bullshit dude that the sharp like stereo I could have had a drum kit that said rock on it. What's this bullshit?

Dude, that the sharp like stereo with the cassette. Dual cassette. CD on the top, baby. You could record from one to the other. Yep. Wow. I guarantee you can detach those speakers too and move them around the room. Make copies for your friends. I can't articulate why it's so funny to me but I think it's so fucking funny that on the drum set

it's bright red and then below it blue and then in brackets not shown just in case you were wondering where that blue was where the fuck's the blue drum uh skips baby stuff

yeah that page's for babies. That's for babies, too. Yeah. Oh, it's for babies. Seeing. Get away. Well, the baby stuff's got to get a little closer to... That's kind of cool.

Two sides of the same coin. Yeah. Okay. Like the Eeyore recently found out that Eeyore is the British way of saying

hee-haw. What? Like a donkey noise. Oh. Sound of a donkey. Didn't know that. He's saying Eeyore, which is the sound of a donkey, which is not the sound of a donkey. The sound of a donkey is ee-haw,

which is, but you say it with a British accent, and it's Eeyore. That is why Eeyore's name is that. Isn't that crazy? It's weird, right? That is crazy. No wonder he's sad all the time.

At 7 p.m., he asks for dinner. And after 9 p.m., he's too tired to talk anymore. Are you fucking serious? He speaks of lunch. So I knew all those things, so I don't know what to feel anymore. This actually might be a real-life thing. Andrew is babe-picking the city. Wow. Can we make an

interactive plush, Andrew? Oh, God, no. Oh, dude, I. Oh, dude. I remember Pound Puppies when I was like really, really young. Pound Puppies were cool. I remember the name, but like nothing else about it. It was just like it was it was like adopting. You would like get a little dog.

Only after George Carlin was done. Wasn't it a big deal in England, though? I mean, it's a British thing, right? Yeah. Did you grow up with Thomas the Train Engine? Yeah, there was an episode, though, where one of the carriages got crushed and his face fell off

and a crane was holding his face and it scared the shit out of me and I never watched it again. Is this the thing that Sir Topham Hatt has a hand in somehow? What? The Fat Controller? Oh, yeah.

Yeah, the Controller guy. I don't know what that is. I just know the name. He runs the train. That's simply all I know of Thomas the Tank Engine. Were you a Percy or a James fan, Gavin? I think I was just a classic Thomas guy. Oh, no.

He's a Gordon. You can fucking tell. Gordon was a bit stuck up. Gordon's a Gordon. You can fucking tell. Gordon was a bit stuck up. Gordon's a bit stuck up? He was. Bye, Gordon. That's Andrew! That kid is cool.

I don't fuck with horses, Eric. I don't trust them. But this is Marvel the Mustang. Yeah, I don't trust them. I don't fuck with horses eric i don't trust him but this is marvel the mustang yeah i don't trust him i don't like marvel the must have you ever have you ever been in front of a horse in person yeah i so i i have a genuine for a while a real fear of horses because i went to a birthday party as like a four-year-old and they did the thing where they had a horse and would like ride the kids around and i was the last kid to do it and the horse was tired and

said fuck that so it took two steps forward and then tried to lay down with me on top of it and I had to get ripped off of it while it was coming to the ground or else it would have crushed my leg and I didn't fuck with horses for a long time I was terrified didn't like horses so I don't know that's not me

I'm not fucking with Marvel the Mustang at that age. I don't trust it. Tic Tac Zoo. I was a big theater tugboat fan, though. Loved him. We know, Eric, we know how to scare the shit out of these two guys with horses and Thomas the Train Engine, apparently. Yeah, we'll take a face off a horse and show it to both of them.

For me, it was donkeys that scared me. Donkeys? Yeah, I talked about how the first time I ever embraced death was on the back of a donkey. Didn't I tell that story? 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.

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. This is it. And I just let go. I just let death take me. I just bounced off the sand. I was ready.

Eric you gotta go to the next page why just go to the next page trust me look at how fucking happy this kid is this is the happiest I've ever seen anybody that's a young Gavin at P. That's how he started.

He's filming in slow-mo. He's filming in slow-mo. Oh, man. You gotta start with one frame a second. Perfect shot, 35mm camera. There's a K as baby's first podcast kit. I had that too. Oh, man. So that would have had to have been an actual film camera

would it or is it just a bullshit thing that flashes I think it's just a bullshit thing that flashes I don't think there's film in it oh you know what it says 35mm film on the right it might be real it might be fucking real

that might be a real I'm looking this up. What is it called? If you can get that, we should do a photo shoot with that camera. A 135mm camera from Fisher Price. I bet Wes already has one of these. Wes already has it.

Price. Fisher Price. Perfect shot. Nowadays, you've got to pay decent money to build a cage around your camera. Just to come included. No, you've got to pay decent money to build a cage around your camera. Yep. Used to come included. No, I'm not. It's not that one. I found a

yellow one. Oh, here we go. Here we go. What's the inflation? So how much was it back then? $24.99? $24.99. $45. I got a new in box one. $46.99? $24.99. $45? I got a new in box one.

Like how much money they make off of this kind of shit. Yeah, that's a great question. I wonder if they look at it as like every fucking plushie lawnmower

or like a little crane truck we sell is a future John Deere little customer 20 years later, you know? Like if they take a loss, but they're like brand loyalty. I wonder if they were against their kids repairing their tractor's back then. Alright, Darla, you have your

push mower and you don't have the right to repair. So if this breaks, you have to buy a new one. Oh, my God. Oh, that air hockey table looks cool. That's about it. Everything else on this, whatever. I like the back. Yeah.

No. Looks nothing like it. Could you do the sewing machine on the Fun Noodle Tumble Fun Mat? No, you couldn't. I mean, you could do the move, but it'd be pointless. That wouldn't show any of your agility off. You need a ladder. You need a ladder

on the floor to do it. If you say so. Hug a bear. Do you think, Andrew, you'd be a little less scared at night if you had a hug a bear nightlighter oh i would have been way less scared at night yeah bad life advice though in a general sense but for sleeping at night would have helped nightlighter makes it seem like you can actually light a match with it though it's yeah which is pretty cool yeah you'll be less scared if you go to sleep with open flame.

Interesting that Singer made like toy sewing machines.

I wonder, did it actually sew? It has the foot control, the tension dial. It seems like it's a sewing machine. I thought it would have had a needle that could do that. And accessories, needle, bobbin and spool of thread. Was the needle a needle or was it a piece of plastic? I have no idea. Like, it just seems very weird

Magnet game. Board game. Xena board game. Kids loved Babylon 5 in the 90s. And Xena. This is... I think I'm worried that we're getting into the board game section. We are.

I know Xena was a big deal. I lived through the Xena era. But at the time that it was on the air, I never met a single person who watched it. I think nobody wanted to admit it. Yeah. They were all online in 1997. It was so weird.

I remember thinking, how is this show? Like, I don't know a single human being that watches it, but it's so popular. Can you go back for a minute, Eric? Sure. What is Titanic the board game? Gossip with other passengers, receive telegrams, and collect all five pieces of your personal property to advance from second class to the first class section of the ship. But watch out! You might get put back in steerage?

Or worse yet, never make it to your lifeboat on time. You could die in Titanic the game. Did you ever play this CD-ROM game of Titanic? No. And it had maybe the worst music I've ever heard in a game.

We need to look into that that is such a fucked up game that that Titanic board game it's terrible really fucked up what this grandfather clock for Christmas it's like make

Yeah, it would. Would you say it's the best henge? Yeah. I would think so, yeah. It's gotta be up there. I had Twister. Operations, Battleship. We had Bop It.

Bop It was cool, I guess. How about this? Are there any games here that you haven't owned or played? SpyWeb, maybe. I've never heard of SpyWeb. Lionheart. I might still have that Trivial Pursuit Star Wars edition.

I never played Gate of Gulf. Oh, you give it a whack, and it throws it right back. We used to play Bop It at TNI all the time, Gus and I did. Yeah, hell yeah.

You read it like you can't believe it's written. You could get Sasha or Quincy for $20. This is full of aliens. There's a lot of stock cars in this catalog. Yeah, really. NASCAR was big in the 90s. That might be the...

What page are we on? 148? 131? Yeah, this says 131, yeah. I think that might be the first gun we've seen. No, no, there was a shooting game. Oh, the alien gun arcade thing. Oh, okay.

That might be the second game we've seen. Gun? You mean... Are they muzzle-loading the Super Soaker? Yeah, yeah, that was a Super Soaker that you could stick down, attach it to a hose, and it filled in from the front. We've been talking for so long now, I'm really starting to lose it.

I start to lose it. I read that last page. It was like... I read it as Christy. That's a bit Christy for my taste. This is just trees. Oh, bubble gum. I love gumball machines.

As a kid. As a kid. What do you have against them as an adult? I can buy them anytime. There are simply more adult ways for me to consume my gum. And gumballs lose flavor a lot faster than regular gumballs. Yeah, they do. Jeff, when you are no longer a child, you put away childish things.

I still like a gumball machine cake in the mail just cakes butter batter fruit cake masterpiece fruit cake who's ordering cake from a catalog catalog cake huh chocolate pretzels and mini graham crackers, though. What the fuck is this? That's Dan, is it? Can we order that lady? Oh, no. We're halfway through, Gavin. Oh. You gonna stop clicking fast, or what? It takes a long time to

load. I think we should just back out, go to it, and then go to electronics on 278. Just keep going. Okay. Andrew wants us to just keep going. Just keep power through. You don't want to miss any of this gold. Look at that. Did this turn into a marathon thing?

Uh-huh. Let's click faster, Eric. It loads slow. Michael Jordan! We would have missed out on Michael Jordan! Everybody remembers that all-important

Michael Jordan Rayovac brand deal. He's a Rayovac guy. Have you ever seen a Rayovac autographed Michael Jordan card, Jeff? I'm gonna look for him now. Do you think he knew what he was smiling for in that picture? Ooh! Now we're getting into some real

toys. You can get a Ferengi talking bank. Whoa, what's with the Star Wars shit? Dude, it's already... They published this fucking catalog with a 50% off on it.

An R2-D2 tied to a fire extinguisher? What's happening? R2, there's a fire. It's a little remote control, I think. He drives off. Yeah, he is. Yeah, it's a remote control. Oh, never mind.

R2, you're not putting out the fire. Dude, that guy is making two Millennium Falcons kiss. He's going through puberty in that photo well he heard a rumor that if you make the them kiss a a baby millennium you leave it overnight a century falcon pops out wow dot kids darts oh great and great. Andrew hates darts. I would get so annoyed if someone gave me a custom dart kit as a gift. Well, you just asked for one, so thank you. Darts are fun.

This is nothing. That's super values. This is a shitty toy pitch. Too many words. I don't understand how this is organized. We're already back in Barbie, but we already went through two Barbie sections. It's all over the place. Star Trek Barbie. Super Value Barbie.

Super Value Barbie. So we're just in the bargain bin section of the catalog? I think we're just in the bargain of the catalog. Hey, look, it's Wes Ellis. That kid in the helmet, he looks like me when I'm dancing to Feliz Navidad. Awesome. This is the section of the catalog where they...

They gotta try to move all this shit they didn't sell live. All this stuff we can shift in the first 150 pages. 97's hottest items are 98's most deeply discounted bargains. Yep.

That checks out. Plush gorilla. You can't see any detail. I can't imagine why they didn't sell. It's nuts. It looks like Garbo man. It does look like Garbo man. Oh man. We already did the speak and spell section.

That's what I'm saying. Oh, is that Brio? I like Brio trains. Jeff, you don't want to play Mall Madness? Electronic Mall Madness? I do, actually. Karate Fighters or something. What is it called?

Electronic Mall Madness? Oh, yeah. Let's see if we can get that. Electronic Mall Madness. Oh, we let's see if we can get that. Electronic Mall Madness. Extreme Ghostbusters? Yeah! There are a lot of versions of Mall Madness.

That checks out. We can definitely get this. Eric, I need the Eric card. Hey, should we play Mall Madness at the mall? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

We can do it while you're wearing the boots. Oh, no. Congo, the game, these Tiger Electronics games or whatever. I miss them. Such a thing. And they were such shit, but I missed them. Terrible. Terrible.

Terrible. Oh, a little Digimon and a Tamagotchi. Oh, Tamagotchi. Oh, a Tamagotchi. Packers darts. Andrew would be mad at it. Okay. They're not personalized. It's okay.

literally no one definitely stuff that no i don't think anybody bought that gorilla dude or maybe that table they finally did a bible trivia too

finally i've been i have i know all the answers to bible trivia 1. I'm looking for some new gods. Oh, my God. What would Jesus do? Video games! Surely a couple of the guitars that showed up on page 200 didn't get bought because there were 7,000 before them.

Dude, I was so freaking jealous of the kids that had the camera and the printer for the Game Boy. Oh, I had that. You had that? You had that? Yeah. You were one of those kids. Oh. That was such a luxury. Because you're basically saying goodbye to a game. Yeah. Whenever I see, I heard

like a podcast where Dan Riker told the story about that. He used to store all his porn on the Game Boy camera because he was scared like they would find the Playboy magazine in his room so he just took photos using the Game Boy 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 printer refills $20 Nick just said that's a good idea like he's gonnaills, $20. Yeah. Nick just said that's a good idea. Like he's going to run out and grab a Game Boy camera right now.

No. No. I'm old enough to not need to do that. Wit. Also married. Oh yeah, also married. Witch. Oh yeah.

Did you have Pokemon Red or Blue? I think I was Red. I had Yellow. Yeah, I had yellow yeah i had blue you didn't play anyone before yellow nope wow that boy that must have been a tough question when you're a kid right like i have do i want to get do i want to get the legend of zelda or do i want to spend my money on game boy printer refills oh after they ran out, it was game over. Dude, the printer was $70. Yeah. Then.

Hey! Now we're talking. Kobe Bryant's NBA courtside? I had that. I never played it. It was not very good, but I liked it. They are expensive. Did games get cheaper?

That's like over $100 now.. 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. So they kept, yeah, the games have been, games have been like the same price and that's the thing that you always hear now

is like, oh, we're losing all this money on these games because, oh, 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 my N64 games were like 49 pounds and then I think like Donkey Kong 64 was like 60 pounds oh yeah

cause 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 hunter guides in that game, I think. Yoshi's story, I couldn't get past a section in it for weeks,

and I only got past it because my mom's friend's daughter played it, and she called to ask if they had gotten through it and I had to learn that you could ground and pound. I just missed that mechanic. Oh my God. And you needed it to get past the thing. Okay, ha! Wow.

Also, look at the difference in price between the console itself and the game. It's like the price of two games. Oh, wow. Now a console's the price of like nine games. Oh, true. Diddy Kong Racing? underrated racing game. Yeah, great.

Oh, yeah. It was fun. Fantastic racing game. Love Diddy Kong. Love Diddy Kong Racing. Love all the characters in it. Okay. Oh, bring the power home.

WWF Warzone, bad game, but at the time, groundbreaking. Oh, yeah. NFL Quarterback Club 99. Had it. Played it. Played the fucking shit out of it. That Mission Impossible game? Yeah. Was so freaking difficult. Yeah. Although you could shoot people

in the head and they would do a full backflip. That's awesome. Okay, so you get one game off this page. What are you buying? Ooh. Turok 2 probably WWF Warzone yeah Warzone, Blitz Blitz is a good one though, Blitz is great

I'm either getting Turok or Offroad Challenge, that was a good game 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. You have to get the piano

and I just didn't know what a score was. I was walking around like, what's the score? Couldn't figure it out. Yeah, Clayfighter wasn't bad. Clayfighter was fine. I think it was like a good idea. Yeah, it was a fun game. Quest 64 is always really dogged on, but I don't think it's a terrible game.

I've never played it. I don't know anything about it. There we go. Baby Mario. Oh, God, I love Star Fox 64. Who's not in either of those games. And Shadows. Baby Mario is not in any of...

Is he? No. He's not in any of the games listed on it. Oh, no, Yoshi's Island is G, no he's not in any of the games listed on the oh no they're yoshi's island is g but he's not for some reason listed any of these um wave race 64 where you can unlock the dolphin great starfox 64 maybe one of my favorite games ever made such a great period i didn't know that was a starfox game because in eng it was called Lilat Wars. Oh yeah. That's the name of the system they're in. I don't know why they did that.

And original Star Fox was called Star Wing. Yeah I think Star Fox might have been a copyrighted term from something else. Yeah. But Star Fox 64 is a game that I beat every way that you could and earned all the medals and then you could play multiplayer where you run around on the ground.

Or be in a tank. You could be in a tank. Bang a soundtrack. Oh, yeah. Ooh. Ooh, and there's the worst game ever made. Superman. Superman.

Woof. How much is it here? Master controller system? Oh, it's $70. Yeah, what is that thing? You're in control of up to eight. Oh, is it here? How much is it? Yeah, what is that thing? You're in control of up to... Oh, is it like a switcher? Yeah.

So how much was the PlayStation? It was 100, does that say 129? Yeah, I think the same as the N64. Yeah, they were pretty competitive. But the games were cheaper. Yes. Yeah, they were pretty competitive that way. But the games were cheaper. Yes.

Because I guess just a disc. Yeah. Crazy. Wow. And the bundles of like, you get Parappa the Rapper and Crash for $219 with the console. That's crazy.

What a steal too. Those are fucking great. Those are two great games. Wow. Final Fantasy 7 on here too good game could you even get an original Playstation for less than that now no
