I’d like to see a tv show where someone goes around a shopping centre trying to pay people with a cheque.

I don’t wanna do another old man reminisces thing, but yeah.
The idea that if you missed something on tv then it was gone forever is bizarre.
Kids will never know the sensation of your sibling yelling out ‘it’s starting!’ as you bolt from the kitchen and leap the couch like an Olympian.

I remember getting nowhere trying to explain to my son what the File Explorer is for.
So you don’t remember when there were only 3 channels?
SBS 0-28 was a myth.
Remember that thing called the internet?? Try explaining that to a genx or a millennial as well all have those brain implants now which connects everything to everything.
Oh, cool.
Does the United States still exist?
Luxury. We had two when I was a kid.

I dimly recall that nation. There’s JESUS!!!LAND (correctly named, they’re the first country to include exclamation marks in their official name), a collection of states roughly made up of inland states, and anther country named The East & West Rationalist States. The map is a mess, to be honest.

Threepeat Elimination Finals exists have brought renewed calls for the Bombers to be mockingly renamed “The Same Olds” again, 'cause that’s all we do now-a-days.

I have the Matty Johns show on after the NRL game.
They just had a segment that went for fully ten minutes, which was four retired NRL players sitting on a couch and talking about which women they thought were hot when they were young.
