1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:04,080 Speaker 1: Ay, Time travelers. This is heatherin Hord, co creator of 2 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: Nikki Fixes Time Nix Up next, be kind and rewind 3 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:10,959 Speaker 1: to the nineties for a most epic episode of Nicki Fix. 4 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:18,920 Speaker 1: But first, a quick word from our sponsor, Iron Horn's 5 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,759 Speaker 1: Epic Productions, and I Heart Radio present Nikki Fixes Time Mix. 6 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: Come on, move that too, de chomping faced faster, No, no, no, 7 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: no no. I was right there, Bobby. You know there's 8 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,239 Speaker 1: Pacman in our time right? Oh, I'm sorry, are you 9 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: liam the time authority checking on how I'm spending my 10 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 1: time back in time? I just thought you'd be doing 11 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: something more constructive for the mission. Oh really, like helping 12 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: my best friend find a mega band to play in 13 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: the festival that's going to save the rank because oh 14 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: golly geez, Wait, Leonards got that all covered. Oh, I 15 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: just wanted to go on cool nineties muppets take Manhattan 16 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,759 Speaker 1: Adventure with my bestie. Wait, they went into the city 17 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: to find a band. That seems like a big deviation 18 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: from the original timeline. I mean, at some point Ben 19 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: did let band start playing here, So maybe it's not 20 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: such a big split. But let's face it, Ben is 21 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 1: never going to agree to this festival thing, even if 22 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: they get a great headliner. Well, I've been working on 23 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: fixing the actual thing. We need to get us back home, 24 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: the guitar. None of the stories I found in the 25 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: yellow pages had time tone shrinks. But then I found 26 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: this entire other section of the phone book with white pages, 27 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: if you can believe it, And there was a listing 28 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: for the time tone company. Okay, and of course no 29 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: one picked up the phone, but there was an address 30 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: just outside of town. I'm going to check it out. 31 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: Do you want to come? Now? You go, I'm apparently 32 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: not cool enough for buddy adventures, shoving me and Nicky 33 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: in the city, saving the rank together. Bobby, Bobby, where 34 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: are you? Nicky? Over here? You get I see you 35 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 1: trying to tilt the pinball machine. I leave for half 36 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: a day, and I swear at the juvenile delinquents multiply 37 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: like triples. Good. I'm glad you two are here. We 38 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: have work to do if we're going to pull this off. Wait, 39 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: you did it. You got a big band, Bobby, you 40 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: You wouldn't believe it. New York and the skyline is 41 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: all different and times square, and we went in there 42 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: and we got got our headliner. Everything is beginning to 43 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: line up for my big show. Who'd you get the 44 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: Google Dolls Atlantis? Oh my gosh, no doubt? Who said? Yes? Well, 45 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: not exactly the Creme della creme according to this time, 46 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: if you know what I mean, but a couple of 47 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: bands that have hit retro appeal to us. Oh and 48 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: good kitch Factor. Now Toto and Debbie Gibson will be 49 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: doing a double bill. Now. The way we spin it 50 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: is that celebrity is celebrity out here, and so we'll 51 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: make New Jersey think they're gods. This seems like a big, new, 52 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: different development that will attract a lot of attention. Exactly 53 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: the point. Now, Step two, we gotta win Ben over 54 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: because he's gonna hate it. Maybe if you talk to 55 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: him one on one you could change his mind. But 56 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: Ben right now is way more stubborn than Ben before. 57 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: Or would that be Ben after? What are any of 58 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: you talking about? What if we bring in a bunch 59 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: of local bands to fill out the show. Yes, that's 60 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: an incredible idea, Bobby, I mean, that's why he lets 61 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: me play here every Friday night. You don't play here 62 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: Friday nights. Friday nights are couples skate. Oh yeah, I 63 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 1: meant metaphorically. I mean you could play Nikki in public 64 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: in this time of year. You play usually just by myself. 65 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: What about with a backup band? Well, do you know 66 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: any Ben does really like this one band duo they've 67 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: played here a couple of times, call themselves the Odeon 68 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: Nikki like your dad's real estate company. Here's their names, Nikki. 69 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: Do everything in your power to get them here. And 70 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 1: we'll need a couple of other local bands to pull 71 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: this off. Bobby, that was your idea. Why don't you 72 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: take the lead on that? How I wouldn't know where 73 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: to start. Go onto the BBS bulletin boards obviously the 74 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 1: what we're going into full event planning mode now, leam, 75 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: you'll be my personal assistant getting everything else in order, 76 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: But I already have other things. That's me. The time 77 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: is of the essence, So no sleeping on the job 78 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 1: until it gets done. Got it? Oh and mom's the 79 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: word regarding the headliner. None of this gets to Ben 80 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: until we're ready. Right, great, come with me, Liam, But 81 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: I have to fix the guitar. Let's go.

I think I'm supposed to 85 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: see them for a reason. Yeah. Liam probably has a 86 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: time theory about it. Either it's exactly the person you're 87 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: supposed to me, or I'll destroy the fabric of time. Liam, 88 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: a man.

They deserved it. 123 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: How did you find them? They dropped their demo off 124 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: and I listened to it. So you just listened and 125 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: liked them. How do you kids in the future listen 126 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: to new bands? Well, uh, it's hard to explain, and 127 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:30,359 Speaker 1: I'm not supposed to say. Oh lords, computers, isn't it? 128 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: It's computers?

I 130 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: want to know about music during the nineties because it's 131 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 1: so different in our time, and maybe you could teach 132 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: me about bands and stuff.

Dad would come in 157 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 1: and do that stupid dance. Now I miss it. I 158 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: would do anything to do that stupid, silly dance in 159 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: the kitchen with them. And now I'm stuck here with 160 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: no one but myself.
