Hello everyone. Welcome back to the Fire Escape cast. It is episode 77. We're getting into

getting close to the 80s. This is always a great part of the episode where I just talk about the numbers in a really straightforward way.

I wasn't here. I wasn't here last episode. I was, I do not remember the 80s. Were you alive in the 80s?

I was a baby. That's been six years there. Yeah. Yeah. How was it? I think it's like the six years I don't. Well, I mean, I guess I don't remember like 39 and a half years with my memory, but I definitely don't remember the 80s. I remember the 90s pretty well. You were not sentient in the 80s. You were like a lump of meat and your parents kept you

alive. Yeah. I mean, look, my parents were married until I was like four and a half and I don't

remember them ever being married. So that cuts off everything up to like 80, like June 1988.

Right. Probably about 1989. I don't remember anything post-divorce.

I think my first memory.

What's your earliest, earliest memory?

Sitting on the floor at my dad's place, post-divorce, playing Super Mario Brothers.

Sorry, every time you say post-divorce, some reason in my head, I'm finishing your sentence.

I don't remember anything post-abortion.

And I'm like, well, you... I'm sorry? I've been tired. I've got to just let you finish your sentence. No, divorce is a completely different thing. Oh, really? Yeah, it's like a marriage thing. But if you don't remember pre-divorce, it's not like... it's not like you're talking about like

AD, you know what I mean?

Like it doesn't make sense

because there was no pre-divor. divorce. It's not like, it's not like you're talking about like, uh, AD, you know what I mean?

Like it's, it doesn't make sense because there was no pre divorce for you. It's just, yeah, yeah, that's true. It's just, I guess it is like an AD thing, right? Like, that's the, it's a way to timestamp things. But I guess if I don't have anything pre timestamp, it's all just kind of, yeah, 1990 is probably where I start.

It's all A kind of, yeah, 1990 is probably where I start.

It's all A-D for you after divorce, yeah, just like the Bible.

Yeah, it's God intended. I went to Catholic school. It's all comes together.

I remember everything A.D.

What was, when was the Gulf War and when did Beavis and Butthead get popular? Golf, like Persian golf was, yeah. I think it was. Okay. So you keep track of, well, I remember, I remember being in my dad's. Ollie North was doing his thing over in the Persian Gulf and then Beavis and butthead were, well, they were doing theirs. I'm thinking about earliest memories. is I remember laying in bed trying to sleep and I could hear from the living room, my dad laughing at Beavis and Budhead. And I remember the Gulf War constantly showing up on CNN. And I didn't know what the Gulf was. And I kept thinking it was like a golf war. So like, yeah, so probably like 91 is about when I started coming into full consciousness, I think. So yeah, Desert Storm is 90 to 91. Okay. That checks out. Okay, yeah.
