    I love that you both did this. Thank you. It being long was not a problem at all as well. It was great to see both of you bounce off of each other as you did and his face and feelings on finding out the why's and how to things he did not know. Wonderful to see.

    1:19:02 – high school and collegiate athletics are not nearly as important in the UK as they are here in the States so I definitely understand why he doesn't know what a "pep rally" is

    6:07 – I've heard our age cohort (77-82) referred to as the "Oregon Trail" generation… and I think that is an accurate way to describe us… we had actual typewriters in typing class and then a few years later the Apple II was ubiquitous

    just a fun fact. we are the world was actually on a single that was half us half canadian. not sure if this was the original, all though they both came around the sametime. side a was we are the world, and side b was a canadian act put together for the same thing. the famine in ethiopia called tears are not enough, which was another good song by a whos who of canadian artists. Gordon Lightfoot, Anne Murray, and others

    I remember when that HBO beginning was so innovative that they had a "making of" for it and IIRC it was all practical effects.

    The *69 bit …. if you watch the movie "Fight Club", and Edward Norton's character calls Brad Pitt's character from a payphone and he doesn't answer (after his apartment blew up), Brad Pitt called him back, and his line in the movie is "I know, I *69'd you … I never answer my phone" 😂

    Probably the last time in a movie anyone has ever used that line, as "Fight Club" (released in 1999) was the last film of the analog generation, giving us all a glimpse of the way things were, prior to us inheriting the world that we were about to be given (post 9-11, basically)

    That HBO intro got me thinking more about that era (1983-1987): middle class families usually only had 1 television in the home (think "large, clunky Zeniths"), which meant that movie-watching was a shared family experience, rather than a solo-event like the 90's, when TV's became chaper and teenagers each had one in their own room.
