Chuck: WE'LL ASK YOU SOME
HEADLINES FROM OLD NEWS
STORIES.
THIS ONE IS SOMEWHAT IN LINE
WITH THE TIME PERIOD OF YOUR
SHOW NEWSIES THE SINKING OF
THE TITANIC.
DID THIS OCCUR IN 1908, 1910,
OR 1912?
THE TITANIC WAS A BRITISH
PASSENGER LINER THAT SUNK
OVER HER MAIDEN VOYAGE AFTER
HITTING AN ICEBERG.
Chuck: WHAT DO YOU THINK
1908, 1910, 192012.
I SAY 1912.
BAM YOU GOT IT!
Chuck: VERY NICE JOB
FELLAS.
Tati: MANY CONSIDER IT
THE WEDDING OF THE
20th SENTING PRINCE CHARLES
WETTED -- CHARLES WED
PRINCESS DIANA.
1980, 1982, 1983.
IT'S NOT 82.
Chuck: WHAT DO YOU THINK?
81.
YOU'RE CORRECT, WELL
DONE.
DETROIT FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY,
BANKRUPTCY MADE HEADLINES
ALL ACROSS THE WORLD BECAUSE
OF THE IT BEING SUCH A LARGE
CITY WAS THIS 2011, 2012, OR
2013.
BY THE WAY, YOU CAN TELL
WE'RE COMING BACK STRONG
NOW.
Tati: BIG TIME.
Chuck: I WILL SAY 2012.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO AGREE.
HOW ABOUT 2013.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT 2012.
Tati: I WANTED TO HELP
YOU CHEAT.
I WOULD HAVE HELPED YOU
CHEAT.
THE FIRST WALK ON THE MOON
WAS IT 1967, 1968, OR 1969.
1, 2, 3, 1969.
FAMOUS THAT'S ONE SMALL STEP
FOR MAN AND ONE GIANT LEAP
FOR "LIVE IN THE D" --
Tati: THERE YOU GO.
THE DETROIT TIGERS WIN
THEIR FIRST WORLD SERIES
THIS WAS WAIT A MINUTE I
DON'T KNOW I DON'T THINK
THAT'S RIGHT?
Tati: YOU DON'T.

YEAH.
1909, WAS IT 1909, 1935,
WHERE IS OUR LITTLE DEAL, OR
1940, FELLAS, WHICH ONE?
I WANT TO SAY 1909.
NO LET'S GO WITH 35.
I KNOW THE LAST TIME THEY
WON WAS 84.
