What You Missed When You Didn't Exist episodes

  • Three Mile Island

    Send us Fan Mail

    Lucy and Corbett talk about the 'near-miss' nuclear incident that happened at Three Mile Island in 1979.   Was it scary?  It sure was for a lot of people, but I guess we are all still alive and don't glow as much as we could, so we got that going for us.

  • Welcome Back, Kotter!

    Send us Fan Mail

    Lucy and Corbett are on a back to school kick and when you are talking about school it is always great to talk about "Welcome back, Kotter!"  They are talking about the short lived, but highly prolific television show and schools in general.

  • China's One Child Policy

    Send us Fan Mail

    Lucy and Corbett Talk about the China One Child Policy.  Like a lot of things that happened in the past, it is crazy and has all the twists and turns you would hope for.  To have kids, or not to have kids, that is the question, at least for most of the episode.

  • Principal Joe Clark

    Send us Fan Mail

    Lucy and Corbett are talking about the most famous or infamous Principal of the 80's, Joe Clark.  "They used to call be Crazy Joe, well now they can call me Batman!"  does seem to be the theme for the show.  They talk about the film Lean on Me and what it was like with schools in the 80's, fictional schools in the 80's, and the real deal schools right now.  Class is in session, so keep it down.

  • Pagers

    Lucy and Corbett are talking about the telecommunications miracle that is the pager.  Obviously, everyone has one and knows what they are, so no further discussion is needed... or it is a weird box that allows you to sell drugs?  Yeah, this is one of those weird episodes where is all just runs off the rails, but we talk about stuff just the same.  Enjoy!

  • Heaven's Gate

    Send us Fan Mail

    Lucy and Corbett talk about the Heaven's Gate cult and where it all ended back in the 90's.  Lots of cult talk, so if you are looking for advise on joining a cult, we don't have a lot to tell you, but plenty on the other side of that discussion.

  • Happy Days

    Send us Fan Mail

    What days are worth living, if they are not all happy days?  Lucy and Corbett get to talk about the The Happy Days television show and a little bit of what the impact it had on TV.  We will certainly all remember where we were when they "jumped the shark".

  • John & Lorena Bobbitt

    Send us Fan Mail

    Oddly enough, Corbett talks about the John and Lorena Bobbitt news from the 90's, as Lucy prepares for her wedding.  Plenty of puns and terrible things, but a possible lesson to learn for the future.

  • MASH

    Send us Fan Mail

    Lucy and Corbett talk about the military in the 70s, through the television series MASH.  There is nothing funnier than the wars of the past.
