Directed Lew Schneider
Writing Credits Adam F. Goldberg Alex Barnow
Summary Murray attempts to help Adam transition into adulthood by building a robot, but their creative differences drive them apart, the opposite of what Murray was trying to achieve. Meanwhile, Barry makes a huge mistake when he accidentally tapes over Beverly's beloved video of his 5th birthday party.
October 7th 1980-something
Barry records his “Jampilation - Part 1..The Extrava-Jamza”
Taras: Totally thought I could dunk one time trying to impress my first girlfriend and broke the backboard. It was totally NBA regulation height too.
Did your parents get involved in your school projects?
Todd: Yes..My Mom “the English Teacher” usually did. BUT I loved it! She made my papers A+++’s! She would type my papers out (cuz she was a fast typer). My Mom is super creative..So even in Elementary school, I had cool/different projects than my peers. Taras: My Mom always helped. One time we spent hours constructing a replica of the empire state building. We tried to make it so accurate that we counted all the windows and tried to draw them in. And yes I got an A.
Coach Beller helps Barry with his technological wisdom
Like figuring out how to hack a cassette tape!
Barry figures out how to fix the situation
Did you ever get caught in a big lie to your parents?
Taras: Well I'm not sure if I got caught in a lie but I think they may have known that I was hiding some facts about a couple late night activities that I was having in high school. I am pretty sure they didn't really want to know.
Brainstorming Session: Murray & Adam go over their personal wants for their Robot Murray: a button, pointy hand, a hat, metal feet, snow plow Adam: Flux Compositor, Ion based Magma Cannon, combat-ready cloaking device, emotions & a sense of humor, interdimensional travel Barry’s “Momtage”

Directed by Writing Credits September 23rd 1980-something I love how Murray says “I can’t hear what Jake is saying to the Fatman” Todd: Yes. But we’d write letters mostly. Can you kids now actually fathom the idea of waiting 2 weeks for every text response??? lol!!!

I can’t remember what we did, but it involved someone tracking us down to where we were staying and hem confronting his parents about whatever we did. Justin’s Dad yelled at both us us..and at one point told me not to hide behind Justin, lol. I had never been yelled at by someone else’s parent before..ha!
Outsmarting the phone company……(ad-ababy-it’s-a-boy) <——— WHO GETS IT? You ever do this? Todd: Totally YES! I would relay info to Lisa his way.
Laney turns to the dark-side the “Demanding of Excellence” and Bev visits Laney at school…to Temporary-Mom her Did you get the SAT push from your parents? Did you always plan to go to college? You ever film or create a musical song or video? Todd: Hell yeah! One was at Kings Dominion (amusement park) to I think “Hip Hop Junkies” by Nice & Smooth.

You ever go to a Kick Ass Risky Business Party? lol

STORY ONE: Beverly is Not Appreciated STORY TWO: The New Champion STORY THREE: Murray Looks After Marvin
Thanksgiving Day 1980-something Taras & Todd discuss the awesomeness that is Thanksgiving!!! Here is a list of Thanksgiving favorites Bev was whipping up in the opening scene: Opening scene foods Beverly was preparing:
Here's our MUST HAVE list:
We also had to list the things the Goldbergs kids were thankful for:
We talk a little about our own mothers expectations at Thanksgiving. Here are the rules for Ball-Ball: http://thegoldbergspodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Ball-Ball-Rules.jpgBall-Ball Rules - s1e09 Stop Arguin And Start Thanking - The Goldbergs Podcast - www.TheGoldbergsPodcast.com

We chatted about if we have an "Uncle Marvin" in our families: Todd talks about how his Dad was kind of like Uncle Marvin in regards to his Mom's side of the family....but it wasn't because how his Dad acted, more about how his Mom's family treated his Dad. Taras said his Uncle Marvin is "Uncle Vic". He said Vic seemed like he was always trying to make sure everyone knew he had more "stuff" than everyone else. Taras says Uncle Vic is still like this today....
Todd mentions that the DeLorean Motor Company is not far from him in Houston (Humble) Texas Supplies parts to DeLoreans BUT now you can get a DMCev. An All electric DMC that runs 70-100 miles per charge at 2c per mile. The DMCev costs around $90k-$100k website: http://delorean.com/
Todd and Taras talk more about Thanksgiving dinner...where they usually eat the meal at ans Taras dropped the bombshell that He Dorsn't Eat a Thanksgiving Meal Anymore....WTH?!?!? What's wrong with him, right??? Where as Todd has something he calls "Thanksgiving #2" every year around April. It's exactly what is sounds like. A full on 2nd Thanksgiving every year..cuz if it's sooo damn good, why only do it once???
The DeLorean family vs Adam F. Goldberg: We said we'd link the spasm John DeLorean's daughter had after she watched this episode.....the scene was where Pop's told Marvin about how he watched the news and the DeLorean Motor Company was shut down... THAT SCENE caused a BIG UPROAR from John DeLorean’s daughter Kathryn DeLorean Seymour from this episode’s reference to the “situation” John DeLorean got in with the FBI
Click HERE to read all about the situation and Kathryn’s response to this articles writer.

Somehow we got onto how you bury a horse…..you bury their head and not the entire body. Todd talks about the Kentucky Horse Park outside of Louisville KY. A great place to visit to see some retired famous racehorses and the burial location of Man o’War. Todd and Taras talk about their neighborhood friends. Todd’s best friends are Stuart and Justin and he’s known them since he was 6 years old! Todd tells the story of how his friend Stuarts step dad was Jonathan Edwards who sings “Sunshine”. Also how Jonathan coached their basketball teams as kids. Todd’s dad and his friend Justin’s dad coached their baseball teams for a couple years. Todd tells his story of how our friend James took a picture of Todd stretching in his underwear….and now James keeps it for blackmail purposes. We chat about how our parents interact with one another...similar to how Bev and Murray communicate. Taras still wants to find out if his Mom as seriously in the Ukrainian mafia. Barry gets caught calling a (976) number by Erica..976-FOX. He accidentally chooses the "Erotic Boat Rides" option. So we had to create a Social Media image for this:
We of course talk about talking on the phone in the 1980’s. We had long long phone cords that could stretch 30+ feet! Bev throws an “F-BOMB” Todd prepares for his trip to PA to hang out with Beverly and the Kremps.
Civil War general Mead’s horse “Old Baldy” retired at Jenkintown in 1882. Today his head is in the Philly museum.

"Call Me When You Get There"
Directed by Writing Credits
Story One: Barry Must Follow the Rules Story Two: Beverly Worries About Pops Falling Down. Story Three: Erica helps Barry Erica schools Barry on how to get around the driving rules so he doesn’t screw up her privileges.
October 18th, 1980-something
Todd & Taras talk about when they first got their license and the rules their parents set for them. Then we compare our road rules to the rules Beverly Goldberg set on Erica and Barry.
Bev’s Rules of Driving:
Todd tells us about how he used to hang out in the poster section of Spencer's Gifts…you know where all the barely clothed HOT chicks were at! Also Todd reminisces about a VERY DISTURBING STORY on a gag gift he got his Mom when he was in his early teens…before he knew how inappropriate it really was. Here’s a hint….it was cylindrical and took batteries.
Taras said his Mom didn’t do too many things to embarrass him in front of his friends where Todd’s Mom pulled him and his friends out of the movie theater once when she took them to see Weird Science (Which is an AWESOME movie). It was too much for Todd’s Mom to handle, but for the kids….it was awesome. All 15 minutes of it!
Taras tells us a story between him and his sister. Does she help Taras evade his parents while he’s “impaired” or does she throw him under the bus?
Next we discuss an AWESOME topic: The Best Commercials of the 1980’s: Check out our series we put on our YouTube Channel: “The Best ‘80s Commercials Series”
Our sentimental moments…...Just like Adam has a moment and realization that Pops is vulnerable, Todd and Taras share their experiences on realizing those Superman like family members have a day where they aren’t so invincible….and it’s sometime crushes your heart.
Jenkintown has two firehouses. They are a block apart….
Thank you Mayor Ed Foley @MayorFoley
