Relive a historic basketball rivalry. Learn the story of the first video rental store. Recoil at some weird bubble gum flavors.

Episode 199 is the final stop before the big Listener's Choice show but there's plenty of nostalgia to be had.

It all begins with the beginning of the video rental store. It was at one point a gigantic industry before falling to streaming, but it had to start somewhere. We will look at how the first video store came to be and some of the original players in the world of rentals.

There have been many amazing rivalries between teams in all sports. Few had the impact of the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers battles in the 1980s. Bird and Magic, Boston and L.A., it was a wonderful time to be a fan. We will look at what made it special.

Peppermint, spearmint, cinnamon, fruit, these are all classic favorite bubblegum flavors. This week's Top 5 will not be featuring beloved classics. Instead we will look at some of the weirdest and in some cases grossest bubblegum flavors there have been.

There will be a new This Week In History and Time Capsule featuring the crazy but true story of a player who fell asleep on the field during a baseball game.
