    The Macarena

    Send us a text Lucy and Corbett talking about the dance that took on the world in 1996, The Macarena.  Long before we "Shook it off" but after "The Twist", the Macarena stood tall as one of the fads to engulf the world.  We also find out if Taylor Swift is a Doctor or not, spoiler... she isn't.

    Seatbelts

    Send us a text Lucy and Corbett discuss what the world was like before seatbelts were put into laws.  Some of it was wild and others were wild as well.  Lets face it, sometimes a little restraint can be a lifesaver.

    Exxon Valdez

    Send us a text Have you ever spilled your drink and made a mess on the kitchen table.  Well, imagine that your drink is fifty million gallons of crude oil and the kitchen table is Alaska.  Lucy and Corbett talk about one of the more notable oil spills in the last thirty years, and yet it doesn't even register in the top ten of all oil spill disasters.  That is just crazy.

    Geraldo

    Send us a text Nothing like a good fight after a big meal.  Corbett and Lucy are talking about the Geraldo show fight in 1988.  What happens when you put two polar opposite sides in the same room, someone throws a chair.  With Thanksgiving on the way it is time to put on the gloves and get ready for a traditional family get together.  TV was never this crazy, or maybe it was exactly this crazy.
