This week, we recognize our hard working immigrants that make our country strong! We also took a visit to summer camp to catch up on some old friends.
First, it's the mid-80s, the Cold War rages on, and a comedian from Soviet Russia makes it big with appearances on Carson and on the stand-up circuit, and as a semi-regular on Night Court. In 1986, he got his own vehicle, What a Country! Listen to who was cast as the macho ex-Marine turned principal.
Then, you wanted us to watch this sort-of spiritual successor to High School U.S.A. (Episode 158) and we did! Why did this movie about a summer camp originally air in the not-so summer month of February 1985? We know why it reran in July 1985, besides it was summer.

This week, we pay tribute to our friend The Whammy as we talk about Press Your Luck.
To start, we look at the OG version, 6 years before the popular 80s version. Second Chance had no whammies, had a boring board, had a weird question structure, and lasted a little over 4 months in 1977 on ABC.
Then, Greg and Mike talk about some of the oddball prizes from all versions of Press Your Luck, including the current version, Whammy!, and the one-off Game Show Marathon episode.
