00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 2: we broadcast out of Seattle and we have great weather.

5
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 3: Right now, it's perfect.

6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:18,920
Speaker 2: The rest of the country is sweltering.

7
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 4: I know, we're in the mid seventies. It's so nice.

8
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 5: I would take one hundred any day.

9
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 4: Give it to me, all right.

10
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 2: So because of that, we are going to do a

11
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 2: full summer edition of Today Versus Back in the Day,

12
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 2: and I will be asking Alexis questions about basically the

13
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 2: nineties summers. Okay, do you live in my childhood, my

14
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 2: teenagehood here? And we're going to start with arguably the

15
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 2: biggest summer song of the nineteen nineties. It was done

16
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 2: by none other than Will Smith and DJ.

17
00:00:53,200 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 6: Who Alexis has no Idea, Jazzy Jeff, and it was

18
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 6: creatively titled what Alexis Summer.

19
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 2: Wrap gave up.

Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and we're just gonna do I feel like

22
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: we had to start with a lyrical fill in the book. Okay,

23
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 2: of course, so far it's not going very well. That

24
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 2: was counted, No, I didn't count. It was your upright

25
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:26,559
Speaker 2: are you ready?

26
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 5: Yeah? Maybe I'll know it wants to hear it.

27
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,839
Speaker 3: Okay, summer themes you got?

28
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna read the lyrics and then you

00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 2: just fill in the blank. Okay, here we go, summer

00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 7: fair prominent.

35
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 2: This is going to be.

36
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 5: What I thought you was going to get.

37
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 4: No, it can only get better again, I would guess time.

38
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 2: Time to sit back and tan answer unwined, no rhym

39
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: Here we go.

40
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 5: On wing into the wrap and.

41
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 8: I don't know I got the rhyming in my mind.

42
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 2: Now, okay, we're okay. Here it is the groove slightly.

43
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 5: In the mood.

44
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 2: Transformed, just a bit of a break from the norm,

45
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: just a little something to break.

46
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 8: The the burn, the sunburn.

47
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 2: The monotony. Yeah, okay, summertime that has gotten to be

48
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: a little bit out of control. It's cool to dance,

49
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 2: but what about the groove that sues that summertime.

50
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 3: Romance?

51
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 2: Okay, give me a soft, subtle mix. If it ain't broke,

52
00:02:53,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: then don't fix it. Now that she knows the words

53
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 2: just go ahead single summertime time.

54
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 9: Why yeah, here it is cool slight trans fall, just

55
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 9: a bit of a break from a gnaw the break

56
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 9: the monotony of all that hardcore dance that has gotten

57
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 9: to be a little bit out of control. This cool

58
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 9: the dance, But what about a cool the suits the

59
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 9: move romance. Give me a soft, subtle mix and if

60
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 9: it ain't backed, and don't try to fix it.

61
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 4: Man, that sounds more like elevator music the older.

62
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 8: I guess it's soothing, it's more relaxing.

63
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 2: It's like I was surprised when I was looking up

64
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: like the lyrics and stuff. I came across a lot

65
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 2: of information about it, and it was like really critically acclaimed.

66
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 2: People are like, look at will Smith graduating from Fresh Prints.

67
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 7: Crazy though that he never had a like a good

68
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 7: rap after that. Even anyway, it wasn't like good.

69
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 4: No, that's crazy.

70
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 5: All right.

71
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:06,119
Speaker 2: We can't talk about summer Alexis without talking about movies. Yeah,

72
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 2: my lash, there's so much out right now outside and

73
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 2: there's a couple I'm even inside out too, just came

74
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 2: out which killed that little brother.

75
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, my little brother liked to bear than the first one.

76
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 7: I had people on my stream tell me that, and

77
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 7: then we got to a whole debate about how rare

78
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 7: it is to have a sequel be.

79
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 4: Better than the original. But a lot of people are

80
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 4: saying that Inside Out too is better.

81
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 3: And this season is all about the sequels. There are so.

82
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 2: Many, and one of the most anticipated is it's called Twisters,

83
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 2: and it's a sequel to the nineteen ninety six film Twister. Oh.

84
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 5: They just were like, let's bring it back now.

85
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, And apparently the new sequel isn't like it happened

86
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 2: in the nineties.

87
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 3: It's like current day.

88
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 4: Oh no, it's gonna be scary.

89
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 2: I'm wondering if we should do it for a gen

90
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: Z versus classic movie. Maybe because it's don't even the

91
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 2: plot lines great, it's just like every five seconds something

92
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 2: smashes against the scream.

93
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 5: Again. Ash is nodding in approval.

94
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 3: Do you like, Yeah, it's a solid like survival thriller.

95
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, Like, there's no twenty twelve, there's no uh, there's

96
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 7: no The Day After Tomorrow without Twister.

97
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure. Okay, so good movie. Then,

98
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 3: what I want to ask you about this.

99
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 2: Film is back in the nineties and eighties, A tagline

100
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 2: was so important to a movie, right, So a tagline

101
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 2: was put on moat posters, it was put on in

102
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 2: the trailer. You can hear one of the taglines they

103
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 2: used in this trailer Twister. There's no place to run? Why,

104
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: there's nowhere to.

105
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 9: Hide, no time to escape, don't think.

106
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 4: It's drop right off, find somebody to grab hold up.

107
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 4: Don't breathe.

108
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 9: And never ever look back.

109
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 5: Don't read this terrible advice.

110
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 4: I base my movie theater voices from that guy.

111
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, yes, And so one of the taglines

112
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: of the film was don't breathe, don't look back. Yeah, okay,

113
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: but it's the one that was rejected the last minute

114
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: that totally made me laugh.

115
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 3: And that's what your question is going to be about.

116
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 2: So I want to know, alexis what tagline did they

117
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 2: almost use for the movie instead?

118
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 3: Okay, and I'm going to give you some options.

119
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 2: Okay, okay? Was it Twister?

120
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 3: Always a bad hair day?

121
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 2: Oh? Was it Twister? It sucks?

122
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 5: Oh?

123
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 2: Wow, wasn't Twister?

124
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 3: They don't just hit trailer parks.

125
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 2: Up.

126
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 5: All of them are pretty bad. That's so funny. I mean,

127
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 5: I like that it sucks because That's how I just

128
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 5: sum up anything bad. I'm like, it sucks, like.

129
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 8: Just they were using this as a marketing I know, yeah,

130
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 8: it makes you It kind of makes it sound like

131
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 8: you're just saying the movie itself sucks.

132
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 5: Like Twister, it sucks. Watch it.

133
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 4: It'd be kind of weird to make that the tagline.

134
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 8: I mean always about hairdy I could see them thinking

135
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 8: it's like funny, relatable, but then it's not like scary.

136
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 4: Enough, like takes away from the danger.

137
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 2: They stop using it.

138
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 5: But like, you know, they didn't use it. I see

139
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 5: it the trailer parks.

140
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 8: I just like, maybe it starts in a trailer park

141
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,239
Speaker 8: and then moves to a nice neighborhood and it's showing

142
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 8: it can hit all around.

143
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 5: I don't know. I'm gonna go with the hair Day one.

144
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 2: Hair Day one. I'm sorry they almost did Twister.

145
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 3: It sucks because it was.

146
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 2: Literally someone had the right mindset was like, hey, you guys,

147
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 2: if this movie is bad, like people are gonna use

148
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 2: that again.

149
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 3: Already sucks.

150
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 5: That's so funny.

151
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: Okay, So the new one, Twisters, comes out mid July,

152
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 2: just so you know, yeah, I'm really excited. Okay, last

153
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 2: question of our summer theme today versus back in the day,

154
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 2: and we're gonna go back. Actually to nineteen eighty nine

155
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 2: is a very, very pivotal year in summers because it

156
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 2: is the year that the world was introduced to the

157
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 2: super soaker.

158
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 4: And the drenching spray. The super Soaker one hundred. It's

159
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 4: a water gun of a higher cal.

160
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 5: To water.

161
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 7: That trailer guy got all the games back in the

162
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 7: rocket super soaker.

163
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 4: Dude.

164
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 2: It was invented by this amazing guy from Mobile, Alabama.

165
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 2: His name was Lonnie George Johnson. And the more I

166
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 2: read about this guy, this guy, I got.

167
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 3: Deep into it.

168
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 4: Really cool.

169
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 2: How is there not a movie about him? It is?

170
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 2: He has an incredible life story.

171
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 4: And this was kind of an accident, right, Am I

172
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 4: ruining anything his invention?

173
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 2: No, no, you can tell it's not about that. It's

174
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 2: not about the super soker. Okay. So he was a

175
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 2: NASA scientist, he was a nuclear engineer. He was in

176
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 2: the Air Force. He grew up really poor, I mean

177
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 2: the whole thing he was. He graduated high school with

178
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 2: the last legal, legally segregated class, so he his high

179
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 2: school was still segregated. I know.

180
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 3: The story is.

181
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 2: Phenomenal Imagine Alabama. Okay, do your research, because this guy's cool.

182
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 3: Guy, really cool.

183
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 2: But he has over one hundred patents to his name.

184
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 2: And while he did invent the super soaker that went

185
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 2: on to gross like over a billion dollars in its

186
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 2: lifetime as a toy, he also helped invent another iconic toy. Okay,

187
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 2: that's not the only toy he has his name on.

188
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 2: So Alexis, I'm gonna give you multiple choice, and I

189
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 2: want you to tell me what other toy did Lonnie

190
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 2: George Johnson help invent?

191
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 5: Okay, I can't remember.

192
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 2: Was it a nerf guns? Was it b the slipping slide?

193
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 2: Was it C Barbie Dreamhouse?

194
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 5: Wow?

195
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 3: Or was it d Razor scooters?

196
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 2: Oh?

197
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 5: Wow?

198
00:09:58,840 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 3: All these?

199
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 8: I mean, obviously nerve got is like your first instinct vibes, but.

200
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 4: It's another type of like play gun.

201
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 5: Yeah. Did he stick to the water out though and

202
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 5: do the slip and slide?

203
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 2: Yeah?

204
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 4: See, because I was like he could have been of

205
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 4: the water balloon.

206
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 5: I was thinking party would be funny, but probably not.

207
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 5: And then the a Razor scooter.

208
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,599
Speaker 8: I'm just trying to think why he would invent a

209
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 8: Razor scooter, Like it's so random compared to a super soaker.

210
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 7: But like, if anything, it would be like I was

211
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 7: looking for a convenient way to go get my man.

212
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, like it's always a stupid reason.

213
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 2: The story of how he came up with the idea

214
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 2: for the super soaker is he was he was working

215
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 2: on inventing an environmentally friendly heat pump and he was

216
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 2: testing it in his bathroom and the hose sprayed and

217
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 2: he was like, oh, that's fun. Yeah yeah, turn it

218
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 2: into it.

219
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 5: Okay.

220
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 8: Then you know, I'm gonna say, maybe he was trying

221
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 8: to think of some transportation way or some way for

222
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 8: his kid to do.

223
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 5: I don't know.

224
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 8: Maybe he was trying to invent line scooters that go

225
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 8: fast now, but he couldn't get there, and he helped

226
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 8: with the razor scooter.

227
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 2: I'm sorry you had it. It was a nerf gun, dude.

228
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 2: And he's still working. He's still this crazy engineer scientist

229
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 2: who's like.

230
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 4: A hundred million dollars.

231
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 2: Now he's trying to like work on batteries to help
