Speaker 3: the care Bears were originally just a painting that was
Speaker 3: used for cards for the company American ingreedients like Hallmark cards.
Speaker 2: Essentially, Yes, that's all they were. But then they came
Speaker 2: out with the.

Speaker 1: I should have known, Yeah I shouldn't. That's all right.
Speaker 1: You ever thought it? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I did.
Speaker 3: Next questions, We're going TV and it's interesting because like
Speaker 3: nobody bats and eye now at like raunchy sitcoms and
Speaker 3: things like that, Like if it like the dirtier, the better,
Speaker 3: is I think what everyone seeks out. But you got
Speaker 3: to think back in the eighties, everything was like sickingly
Speaker 3: sickingly is that a word?
Speaker 2: Sick? Grossly go with that?
Speaker 3: Sure, grossly wholesome, you know, okay, Like it was all
Speaker 3: like The Cosby Show, not so wholesome anymore. But you
Speaker 3: know that was until Fox introduced us to the Bundy family.
Speaker 2: Do you know who the Bundy family are?
Speaker 1: Says it Ted Bundy's family.
Speaker 4: A TV shows, not wholesome.
Speaker 2: It was just married with children, do you know the
Speaker 2: married with nament?
Speaker 3: And it's got Al Bundy who's the dad, who was
Speaker 3: played by Ed O'Neil, who's the dad and modern family,
Speaker 3: you know, okay? And then he was like a misogynistic
Speaker 3: shoe salesman. And then there was Peggy, who's a housewife
Speaker 3: that didn't do any work, and then they had two
Speaker 3: loser kids and like the whole show is just about
Speaker 3: them bickering. Like listen, this is a clip I pulled
Speaker 3: from a Thanksgiving episode where Al's talking to his wife's
Speaker 3: best friend who he hates, and his son Bud is
Speaker 3: sitting on the couch.
Speaker 1: Way to bargain Mars. I love that car more than
Speaker 1: anything that I have. Good what about us? You need a.
Speaker 3: Cute tips like that, banter like the entire time.
Speaker 1: But what's crazy?
Speaker 3: I didn't realize, Jose. I don't know if you know this,
Speaker 3: but this whole show ended after season eleven, and it
Speaker 3: was like Fox canceled it. They never did a series finale,
Speaker 3: and so Ed O'Neill went to the network and he said,
Speaker 3: this is how the show should have ended.
Speaker 2: Let us do it. Here's your question.
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm going to give you three scenarios. You just
Speaker 3: have to tell me which one Ed O'Neill pitched as
Speaker 3: the entire show finale, right?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 2: Did he pitch that the.
Speaker 3: Family finally wins the lottery and then a tornado comes
Speaker 3: along and wipes everything out during the celebration.
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 3: Did he pitch Kelly Bundy, who was played by Christina Applegate, okay,
Speaker 3: becomes a singing megastar before she's outed for faking it
Speaker 3: all Millie Vanilli style, Oh okay? Or did he pitch
Speaker 3: that Alan Peggy divorce al goes on to live his
Speaker 3: best life, taking over for Hugh Hefner and running the
Speaker 3: Playboy mansion. Wow, which is the way Ed O'Neil wanted
Speaker 3: married with children to end.
Speaker 4: You said they fought a lot the entire show entire,
Speaker 4: like divorce could be coming.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 3: The series was like considered to be the first raunchy
Speaker 3: sitcom to have a regular run.
Speaker 1: He could pitch it about playboys.
Speaker 3: Al Bundy would put his hands down his pants when
Speaker 3: he watched it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a visual wow. Yeah, misogynist could see that.
Speaker 1: The tornado's funny.
Speaker 4: I mean from what the clip you just played, it
Speaker 4: kind of sounds like that's what would happen.
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I have hope that he went
Speaker 1: with wanting to be Hugh Hefner. I'm going that.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, you're so close.
Speaker 3: No, Ed O'Neill actually pitched that he wanted the Bundies
Speaker 3: to win the lottery and then have a tornado come
Speaker 3: along and wipe everything out during the almost Perfect and
Speaker 3: they never got the chance.
Speaker 1: Apparently.
Speaker 2: I guess he found out.
Speaker 3: The show was canceled while he was on vacation because
Speaker 3: like he overheard a couple talking about it.
Speaker 2: Because they read it in a newspaper.
Speaker 3: Was like yeah, and then he bought the couple their
Speaker 3: dinner and said, hey, thanks for the information.
Speaker 1: I hope I don't know. I thought that was interesting to.
Speaker 3: Learning something, and you know, we need some suggestions for
Speaker 3: gen Z Versus Classic movie, which then I was thinking,
Speaker 3: maybe she should watch Married with Children.
Speaker 2: I mean, I know it's gen Z Versus Classic.
Speaker 1: Movie, but I haven't watched.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: I wonder if it holds up. It's as I remember totally.
Speaker 4: Ever hear anybody being like, oh, I'm binge watching this now,
Speaker 4: Nobody ever says that. I feel like it had like
Speaker 4: five seasons and then it just like I just know, yeah,
Speaker 4: good seasons where they were.
Speaker 1: Like America took over and then they died out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, well, Married with Children? Should she watch that?
Speaker 1: Tell us to what should we watch?
Speaker 3: Or should she watch something else? Let us know, and hey,
Speaker 3: thanks for being here on the weekends. It means a
Speaker 3: lot to us. It's brooking Jeffrey in the morning,
