[Music] here’s the story on the first day of first grade we’re both held in from Recess our teacher caught us writing nasty words on our desk and made us stay inside color in pictures of mythical beasts and that’s when our friendship began the year was 1984. and now 39 years later we want that recess we never got but first we’re challenging ourselves to go back in time we’re going to meet up at a park in Burbank after Crossing LA and the cars and the clothes that we picked out for each other along the way we’ll complete some 80s themed homework assignments using only things that existed in 1984 and if we make it we get to have our recess oh gosh please don’t be a stick shift please don’t be a stick shift son of a [ ] where would he put the keys oh they’re in the ignition it’s link that left this classic sports car with the top-down and the keys in the ignition here in beautiful Venice California I’m hoping that this is not my car I know I’ve got a freaking it’s a GM you suck man honestly this makes me feel kind of bad about the car that I gave him which does not go with my freaking outfit I needed like a Lambo or something like a Ferrari oh it’s I mean it’s not my knees are a little bit if you get into a car and your knee is it the exact middle of the steering wheel it’s not big enough for you okay so I got a lunch box from Rhett and a couple of maps 1984. you got to use maps this map is actually from 1984. and so is this one oh it’s been updated to 1984. no GPS today GPS did not exist at least not for civilians in 1984 and I’ve got a Polaroid camera which will come into play we have a few things that we’ve challenged each other with that will involve the Polaroid camera oh look at this my first assignment when La hosted the 1984 Olympics the sickest event Judo was held in the gym on the campus of Cal State Los Angeles the heavyweights have the spotlight there it is find it and do Judah do Judo in front of the Kick-Ass Olympic mural okay and let’s see the challenges that link has prepared for me Van Halen released their sweet sweet tune Panama in 84. there is a Panama Street in Los Angeles go there and give it your best David Lee Roth there’s a fear of the unknown what lurks behind that corner you know it’s just so gross okay this is like paper did you say Panama Street or Panama there’s a Panama Drive they change Panama Street the Panama Drive as the years went by I mean Drive seems doesn’t seem more modern or anything oh I’m in Orange County that’s the problem well I don’t care about Orange County give me L.A County there it is Panama Street you take left on Pacific and all right on Washington right on Lincoln and the left on Max Island and right on Allah and a left on Panama Street and that’s when you know you’re where you

our Maps talk to us how do you map and drive I can barely see I can’t drive on my thigh I’m good at that I’m off the freeway because it felt like I was in endangerment to myself and Dylan here on the camera so oh [ ] boys oh [ __ ] what’s that smell is that the clutch I found you you could not get away from me [Music] oh foreign [Music] [Music] around this town just map the place [Music] [Applause] [Music] okay Challenge number two hopefully it doesn’t involve driving find the Arnold mural in Venice neighborhood and show off your Mr Universe pose there is no stuntman that really can
