I'm going to hit you with a few quotes. Today, captain Ramsey, I expect and demand your very best. Anything less, you should have joined the Air Force. Neil McCauley, don't let yourself get attached to anything. You are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner. Elaine, I do the best I can, honey. I know it's not enough and I'm sorry, but that's what you get in life. You know you get whoever you end up with, whoever is willing to stick by you and fight for you when everyone else is gone and it ain't always who you expect. But you just have to make do.
Speaker 1:Vice Principal Walters, I care about these kids just as much as you do, and if I'm forced to choose between Mozart and reading and writing and long division, I choose long division. Glenn Holland Well, I guess you can cut the arts as much as you want, gene Sooner or later these kids aren't going to have anything to read or write about. Verbal Kintz the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. Tommy, you know a lot of people go to college for seven years, richard, I know they're called doctors Luann. What should I tell them If they don't want to die. What should I tell them? If they don't want to die, remember to knock. Share Ugh as If. Craig Bye, felicia.
Speaker 2:That was a lot of quotes.
Speaker 1:I told you, I warned you.
Speaker 2:Was that like 20?
Speaker 1:No. Obviously all of those quotes did not go together. Obviously Is the suspense killing you. Do you know what all these quotes have in common?
Speaker 2:Um well, I know ones from the movie Clueless. Yeah, my favorite one is one of my favorite quotes is the devil quote. Though I love that quote, what movie, I don't know, I still have COVID head. Why are you asking me this?
Speaker 1:stuff. Oh hi, by the way, I'm Anne Ingrid, that's Jessica. We obviously record multiple episodes in the same sitting and we don't wear the same clothes all the time.
Speaker 2:Jessica doesn't always have COVID, or I always have COVID and I always wear the same clothes.
Speaker 1:That could be it too. That's probably why you have COVID. You need to wash your clothes every once in a while.
Speaker 2:Thank you for the unsolicited advice.
Speaker 1:I'm a healthcare provider. It's my duty to tell you to clean yourself every once in a while. You said duty.
Speaker 2:Okay, tell me.
Speaker 1:So other movies? Well, first of all other movies. We have Crimson Tide. That was the one. I don't know if people got to see your face when you were freaking out. That was quote number one. You were laughing. Oh that I could demand your very best. Anything else you should have joined the Air Force. I threw that in there just because I figured you specifically would like it. Thank you, I did. The other one is from the movie Heat Boys on the Side, mr Holland's Opus. That's one of my favorite quotes. Did you say the Usual Suspects? No For the Devil. Oh yeah, that's right, tommy Boy. It was Tommy and Richard.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, I got that one too, they're called Doctors.
Speaker 1:Michelle Pfeiffer, one of my favorite characters ever. And then Cher is from Clueless and Craig it's Friday yeah, I knew Friday too.
Speaker 2:Okay, just so you know. We've exposed our kids to gangster paradise and our daughters were not impressed with me or Ingrid.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, okay Well.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:So Proceed, I shall Come along and ride, ride On the fantastic, fantastic. Yeah, thank you. Sorry, my voice kind of cracked. Come along and ride on a fantastic voyage, but wait a second. That's the. Yeah, thank you, sorry, my voice kind of cracked. Come along and ride on a fantastic voyage, but wait a second. That's the right artist but the wrong song. Don't worry, we're still going on a ride.
Speaker 1:Before we head out, we pop our CD mix into the portable player after wiping the fingerprints off. Of course, the playlist On Bended Knee by Boyz II Men and you Are Not Alone by Michael Jackson, both of which hit the number one on Shadow Stevens' weekly top 40 countdown. But the real highlight, cruising in a Ford Taurus one of over 366,000 sold that year is singing every word to the Billboard number one song of the year. Jessica already mentioned it. What do you think? It is Gangsta's Paradise, gangsta's Paradise. So Fantastic Voyage is also a Coolio song. In case you didn't get that reference, coolio is also Gangsta's Paradise.
Speaker 1:Anyway, I digress. We are on our way to the top grossing movie of the year, toy Story, which eventually made over $394 million worldwide. Our other choices atop the list are Batman Forever, apollo 13, pocahontas, ace Ventura, when Nature Calls, and 7. Of course we've left plenty of time to hit the mall first, but before any shopping it's a pit stop at Orange Julius. Then we wander through the Buckle, maurice's, american Eagle, claire's, abercrombie, fitch and Spencer's because why not Spencer's? We don't really need to add to our already flawless looks. Anyway, you're rocking baggy, ripped jeans, a co-ed naked insert, whatever here.
Speaker 2:Those were my favorite shirts. Absolutely which ones Co-ed naked firefighting, find them hot and leave them wet. Remember them, okay? Well, there was a couple others, but that's the only one I remember.
Speaker 1:I had the co-ed naked cheerleading and I can't remember something about on top.
Speaker 2:How are we allowed to wear those to school? I could wear. I wore mine to school like almost all the time. We weren't supposed to wear them to school. I could wear. I wore mine to school like almost all the time.
Speaker 1:We weren't supposed to wear them to school. We got in trouble for it? I never did. Did you have Miss Murray? Yeah, oh no, we would get in trouble for wearing those things.
Speaker 2:Maybe it's because I skipped school and I only showed up at the very end of the day.
Speaker 1:Maybe, I think we would like turn them inside out or something, if we got in trouble for wearing them.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's what you'd have to do.
Speaker 1:Well, okay, so also in your ensemble. You have a flannel tied at the waist and, doc Martens, I'm in a plaid skirt, plain mock turtleneck, black tights and clunky, chunky platform heels. Cruising the mall, we wave to friends the guy in the Canadian tuxedo, his brother in the tracksuit and their hot friend who, let's be real, looks like people's sexiest man alive of the year, brad Pitt. We chatter about the latest episodes of Friends, er and Seinfeld. As we near the theater, you tell me about this new thing called Auction Web, where you can actually buy and sell things online. Who knew this thing would become eBay in a few years? And now that Windows 95 is here, computers finally feel a little friendlier to use. If only we didn't have to wait for a phone line to open up to get on the internet.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, I say not wanting you to one-up me in breaking news. Have you tried the new Frappuccino Starbucks just released? You say no and I promise to buy you one after the movie. I also buy your $4.35 movie ticket along with mine. Following the movie, you filled up with gas at $1.09 per gallon. Before we head to our next stop, we settle in at Starbucks later, drinks in hand, ready to talk about everything, including the heavy stuff. First up, the Oklahoma City bombing that shook the nation earlier that year. Do you remember the details of this?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I actually went to the Oklahoma City bombing memorial when I was up there for my birthday.
Speaker 1:I had no idea. Okay, yeah.
Speaker 2:It's very, very, very touching. Of course, I was in tears the whole time, so it's very, very, very touching.
Speaker 1:Of course I was in tears the whole time, yeah, so just as a reminder, I mean, why not throw in a little bit of a story here? So security guard Timothy McVeigh parked a rented rider outside of Alfred P Murrah Federal Building. As he walked away, he detonated the homemade bomb made of fertilizer diesel fuel and some other stuff made of fertilizer diesel fuel and some other stuff. A third of the building was destroyed in the explosion, killing 168 people, 19 of which were children, and hundreds of others were also injured. Within 24 hours, the FBI had a composite sketch of the suspect, whom they found out the very next day was already in jail. He had been pulled over 80 miles north of Oklahoma City because he didn't have a license plate on his mercury marquee. He was arrested when the officer discovered a concealed weapon. Mcveigh was behind bars one and a half hours after the bombing.
Speaker 1:And so Timothy McVeigh and his co-conspirator, terry Nichols, were both Gulf War veterans and they are the two who created this plot. Because they thought it was against the consp I can't say the word Consatorial. There we go, lord, have mercy. Worldview of militia culture, and they thought the bombing was a justifiable attack against the federal government of the United States and the murder of the innocents, as Timothy McVeigh reported, was collateral damage. Reported was collateral damage. Both of those individuals were indicted in the US District Court of the Western District of Oklahoma in 1995 on August 10th, and it was for conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction, use of such a weapon, destruction by explosive and eight counts of first-degree murder. And I don't know where they got the number eight. Do you have any idea, mm-mm?
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:So McVeigh was found guilty on all counts in 1997. He was executed June 11, 2001. Terry Nichols was found guilty of conspiracy and manslaughter on December 24th 1997 and sentenced to life in prison. Merry Christmas, sorry. And they have another accomplice, michael J Fortier. He was indicted on four counts, including conspiracy to transport stolen firearms. He was sentenced to 12 years in prison on May 27th 1998. So that is the Oklahoma City bombing. Now we're going to go back to. We're sitting in Starbucks trying to enjoy our frappuccinos, talking about the worst things ever, but we continue talking about other heartbreaking headlines of the year the OJ Simpson verdict, the murder of Selena at the age of 23 years old and Jerry Garcia, his passing from a heart attack at the age of 53 years.
Speaker 2:Yeah, jerry Garcia is still alive, just so you know.
Speaker 1:Okay, I was wondering if you'd get that. Yes, I know he's hanging out with Elvis. So after all this conversation, I sigh and say I don't want my high school graduation year to be remembered for just the bad stuff, year to be remembered for just the bad stuff. So then, you being you, jump up and start singing and dancing the Macarena.
Speaker 2:I'm very confused. Are you talking to me like we're hanging out? Are you talking to our listeners?
Speaker 1:Both, whoever wants to join in on the fantastic voyage. Okay, gotcha, and that's it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there we go you're supposed to sing it we can't sing too long, because I think we will get in trouble for copyright because we sound exactly like the song. But this obviously, if you didn't get the Windows 95 catch, this is the year, and if you didn't figure it out with all the details, the headlines of what I included, this is all the year of 1995. So shout out to my fellow, I actually really did graduate in 1995, which was Old, old, 30 years ago. So yeah, that's why I wanted to do it.
Speaker 2:Oh.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm Dang, my 30-year class reunion just happened and I didn't get to go. Yeah, I didn't think you did. No, there was. We won't go into that, dang 1995. A lot of big stuff happened in 1995. There was, and just so all you millennials know, yeah, friends, you're one of your favorite shows today. That was over 30 years ago. And those nirvana t-shirts that you like to wear I don't know if that's millennials, I think that might. Be no, I don't know who's ever after know who nirvana is, if you're gonna wear the shirt.
Speaker 2:I'm okay with wearing the shirt, but know who nirvana is. I actually am a big fan of seeing little kids like little, little kids, like seven, eight little kids running around in shirts like that and one of my friend's kid has a beetle shirt.
Speaker 1:Which is great. I love it if they know.
Speaker 2:Well, they're children, Well still.
Speaker 1:Is it too early to introduce them to?
Speaker 2:No, I'm saying that their parents probably introduced it to them so they probably know. Like if you asked me who grassroots were back in the day, I wouldn't know their name, but I'd sing you their song.
Speaker 1:Nobody knows who grassroots are, except for you and me.
Speaker 2:In my midnight confessions. I have the record. I know you do.
Speaker 1:That's another year. Okay, any questions about 1995? 95, 95, 99, 95. No.
Speaker 2:That was crazy. Your little trip took me back a little bit.
Speaker 1:That's what I was trying to do. I was actually trying to get you there it was cheesy AF. It was cheesy AF, but I enjoyed the Orange Julius. I had no idea Frappuccinos were that old.
Speaker 2:I didn't either. I've never been a fan of those, though I actually don't really drink those, and we for sure.
Speaker 1:I doubt we had a Starbucks up there.
Speaker 2:I don't know what is your dog doing?
Speaker 1:She's scratching her ear. She was on the other side of the house and she decided to come right here, sit next to me and scratch her ear. No, she's booping me, did you hear? She just burped, rude, the microphone is on. That was wild. I'm not going to lie. I had to Google some of this stuff because I couldn't really remember exactly what the fashion was. The co-ed naked t-shirts did not make the Google, though. What that?
Speaker 2:I remembered.
Speaker 1:Yes, that.
Speaker 2:I remembered that's a shame.
Speaker 1:And then having like the front part of your hair up with a scrunchie. Yeah, I never did that, okay, so maybe that was just me. Um, that made me that was. That was actually another reason I had to google the fashion trend, because I was like I don't know that we were very fashionable I never did learn my lesson with doc martinzo.
Speaker 2:Every time we'd be at like a, a campfire or something, I'd put my feet on the outside barrel. It might melt. Yes, oh, mom would get so mad at me and I'd still have to wear them because she wouldn't buy me new shoes well, because they're not.
Speaker 1:They were not cheap shoes no, they were not sorry, mom especially back then when you see the price of a movie ticket and a gallon of gas.
Speaker 2:Yeah, those are all tripled. Hey, have you noticed that Amber Comby and Fitch are trying to rebrand? I saw one of their commercials the other day and they are more inclusive of people that don't have six pack abs.
Speaker 1:Right, so okay, yeah, that was always very you know, very specific clientele that they were geared for. I actually didn't like walking by that in the mall because I was very intimidated Same and we were both teeny, tiny little girls, but it was like I didn't feel pretty enough or skinny enough to go into the store.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:If I went in, it was like immediate left or immediate right, whichever side was the women's side, and I would just shop in that tiny little corner and then leave. Yeah, oh, I forgot to say what kind of perfume we were wearing. What was it? Cool water and CK1. Oh, ck1. That's right. Oh my gosh, what? Oh, so many things. That's a hard year for me to remember because it was half high school, half college and it was just two totally different worlds from high school to college. So it's weird to think that it was all the same year, because when I was like, oh yeah, the OJ Simpson verdict, I'm like, no, that was when I was in college, but that was still the same year.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:Be a deadhead.
Speaker 1:Be a gangsta in paradise oh yes, yeah, don't, don't don't be a mcveigh, don't be getting rid of the arts.
Speaker 2:Yeah uh, if you ever do need a good cry, you could read some of the um responses of the first responders of the oklahoma city embalming, or some of the first responders of the Oklahoma City embalming, or some of the parents that dropped their kids off at that daycare that morning. It's right if you I said if you need a good cry, ugly sobbing are you?
Speaker 1:have you been missing crying on this podcast? Because this is what episode four, since we've come back on and I don't think there's been a tear shed, oh, oh. And now we're doing videos Everyone gets to see. I'm going to have to find the story that makes you cry.
Speaker 2:You know, I can turn my camera off right. Oh, where'd I go, oh.
Speaker 1:You are so dumb. All right, oh my gosh. Thanks for listening. Thanks for listening. We will see you, or you will see us again, or listen, whichever.
Speaker 2:Whichever way you prefer, in two weeks I when Jessica is going to, I'm going to go die in a bed.
Speaker 1:We'll see if in two weeks.
Speaker 2:Jessica is still wearing the same clothes and do I still have?
