| 0:00.0 | The shenanigans continue. This is the men's room with Miles and Thrill. Coming up at 5.08, we will drink and toast to the weekend with a show of the day. That it's Bad Choice Friday. You know it's Bad Choice Friday. It's Bad Choice Friday. You know it's Bad Choice Friday. Hey, man, this is your fault. Jam on. We celebrate a weekend of heats on a bad choice Friday with Nellie. It's getting hot in here. Yeah. So take off all your clothes. I am getting tired. I want to take my love. That's a hell of a pickup line. It works for me every time. Let's take off your clothes. Hey, they say they want us to be forward. You know? Assertive. What's really on your mind? Take charge. You know what you want. Right? Nellie and Hutton here taking on Donna Summer on a bad choice Friday. Donna, what do you mean hot stuff? Side note, this is my favorite game to play at the casino. Oh, that's right. It's called Hot Stuff. Yeah. And when you hit, it plays a song. Like a slot machine? Yeah. You don't remember him going on about this last time? Live night, was it? Yeah. I'm playing Hot Stuff. I walk around the casino looking for that game. I will tour the entire casino. And then I'll sit down and just want to hear Donna Summer. Because Donna Summer means you win. Right. So when I think about this song and I hear it, I'm like, jackpot money. What's the most that you've won on Hot Stuff that you can remember? $375. $375. How much do you be lost in Hot Stuff? |
| 1:45.1 | Oh, I didn't think about that. You never count the losses. You know what I'm saying? You only count the wins. Vote now on either Donna Summer and Hot Stuff or Nelly. Hot in here if you follow us on X at Men's Room Live. All right, a question, what were your favorite toys growing up? and what would you consider your grown-up toy now? |
| 1:46.5 | 206-803 rock. |
| 2:17.7 | We have a quick list here. It's the most popular toys ever, decade by decade. All right? Now, it starts in the 1940s, and there was one toy. Because I think before then your toy was a stick, a rock in your imagination. All right? So the first major toy, believe it or not, was a stuffed snow white and the seven dwarves. Because the movie had come out three years before that, 1937. Right. Kids, that was the first time someone said, you know what, man, I think we can do a tie-in. And the thing sold like crazy. I looked at a picture of the original ones. |
| 2:33.8 | That is not what Snow White looked like. It was actually creepy, Lego. So now we get to the 1950s. Things get a little better. Legos come out. Oh, wow, 50s. I didn't know that. Yeah, 1955. Legos when it originally launched. And Mr. Potato Head. The thing to remember... I had Mr. Potato Head. |
| 2:37.5 | I had Mr. Potato Head, but remember, in the 1950s when it launched... There was no plastic guy. You had to have a potato. Oh, and then you just pushed in the pieces. And the picture I saw from that looks exactly like you think. It's just this wrinkled old real potato. And then the kid had stuff like the eyeballs and the lips and everything. How many moms got so pissed back in that day because kids are taking all their dog of potatoes? And at that time hey man these are food and you know kids like I know but yeah you had to use the potato. You also buy a sack of potatoes. It wasn't like that. Sure. I also remember back when I was a kid we had a little potato science experiment. We basically made Mr. Potatoheads, |
| 3:08.1 | hacked off the forehead, if you were, and then we planted grass seeds on top. So it was kind of like a little chia pet. Chia pet. Yeah, that's cool. Chia pets were cool growing up, too. They were cool. And in 1950s, you also had the game, Risk, which I never liked, and Barbie dolls were introduced in 59. All right? So now the girl's had a toy to play with. |
| 3:25.0 | So then we get to the 1960s. |
| 3:26.5 | The big thing, G.I. Joe. Oh, yeah. And believe it or not, Hasbro put that out in 64 during the Vietnam War. It was an instant hit. And they were originally, I did not know this, four versions representing the Army, Navy, Navy, Air Force, and Marines. |
| 3:41.9 | I don't know. |
| 3:43.0 | I thought it was all armed. All right. So now, and then the 60s ended with Hot Wheels. So now we get to the 1970s, and you'll start to see kind of a change in the toys we're playing with. Weebles. Do you remember those? Oh, yeah. Weble's wobbles, but they don't fall down. The Rubik's Q, believe it or not, came out in 74, Star Wars action figures, and the Atari. |
| 4:00.5 | Those were all big. |
| 4:01.2 | Those were all big. Those were the big ones in the 70. You get to the 80s, care bears, He-Man became a my little pony, the cabbage patch kids, which I never understood, and teenage mutant ninja turtles. Also in Nerfballs in the 70s. We get to the 90s. Now you're going to see the big change. Tomagachi. Do you remember that? I remember the name. I don't know whether. It loosely translates to Egg Watch in Japanese. One of the biggest toy fads in the late 90s, so it's a small handheld video game device that features a digital pet that required regular care |
| 4:31.7 | from the moment that their egg hatched. |
| 4:33.7 | Right. I feel like this was one of the earliest things that you needed to constantly give |
| 4:39.3 | attention because you legit had to continue to feed this thing. Needed to give it, give it, |
| 4:43.8 | you know, exercise and all that stuff. Like when you were going on vacation, you gave them to your friends to take care of them while you were gone. I vaguely remember that, but the 90s, that's when tech started getting big. The Game Boy, Sega Mega Drive, the PlayStation, Buzz Light Ear, Tickle Me Elmo. Nice. Along with the Furby. Let's see. So now... Furby scared a lot of people. |
| 5:04.7 | Because they look effing insane. |
| 5:06.5 | And they talk in the middle of the night. |
| 5:08.2 | Now we get to the 2000s. |
| 5:09.6 | I remember Brat's dolls. |
| 5:11.3 | I just remember they were huge. |
