Between Legos, Superballs, Lite Brite, Spirograph, video games, Lori's Barbies, and David Mamet’s Tetris high score on Eve’s computer, it’s pretty clear that the gang had no shortage of fun things to occupy our time as kids. Unless you’re Chris, who would turn all of his toys into something new (i.e break them) when he got bored.

Get ready to solve your Rubik's Cube like Courtney while you hear all about the games & toys we loved back then, which ones are still around today, and how we are managing the new bells and whistles that the latest generation seems to need. (Hint: Remove the batteries)

Oh! As an FYI, this episode has more personal sound effects than we’ve ever made in public before, and we’re here for it all.
