Hey, it's Jake Heath. We've got a really fun best-up episode coming right up. Of course, if you want to hear the entire segments from these shows, you can go to the links for each episode that are in the show notes.

This is our first episode. We're releasing since the end of the Max Fund Drive, so I want to say a big, sincere thank you to everyone who joined as a member, who boosted, who upgraded to help support

our show. You literally are the reason that this show exists. So thank you. I'll have a quick

update during the break telling you how things went and some of the cool things that we'll be doing

as a result of meeting some of our goals. So stay tuned for that. All right, enjoy this episode.

I'm Jay Keith Van Stratton. And I'm Helen Hong. And welcome to another best of edition

of GoFact yourself. This is where we showcase some of our greatest moments from the show that

all touch on one particular theme.

And this time that theme is nonagenarians.

What does that mean, Jay Keith?

It means we've got segments on various topics, but all with experts who at the time of recording were 90 to 99 years old.

And stay tuned to the end of the episode because we've got a very special update about one of them.

These are some true legends, not just because of their age, but because of their experiences and expertise. Absolutely. Jay Keith, do you have any non-agenarians in your life? I do, actually. My father turned 90 last year. Whoa. Still hard to believe. He's doing great. He drives. He's active. You would never know he was in his 90s. He was at my wedding last year. Whoa. And actually, in both of my grandmothers lived to be in their 90s. So knock on wood. We're going to be okay. Yeah. My dad is 81. So, you know, my parents are getting there. Getting there on their way and hopefully in great health.

Well, let's get to our first segment from the show.

This is from episode 152 with film critic Alonzo Duraldi and comedian Blair Saki.

Let's hear about why Alonzo loves the PBS classic children's show, The Electric Company,

and meet his expert, who you probably didn't know, helped create it.

All right, Alonzo, tell us then what the TV show The Electric Company means to you.

I was born at just the right time to watch Sesame Street as a child, and then the electric company, when they were new, really, that's kind of how I learned to read before school even started. And the

electric company was not just educational. It was kind of following the laugh-in formula where like

it was a lot of short sketches and a lot of very funny stuff. And with a really talented cast,

people like, you know, Rita Moreno and Morgan Freeman got his start on that show.
