welcome to the crave cast everyone i'm your host Eric Mack and I'm live from the day before the future joining me from a present day that is quickly colliding with a paramount past perception of the future is craves Amanda Kooser she's live in Albuquerque and also from the cnet studios in San Francisco we've got scene thats Sarah metra Jeff Sparkman Kaitlyn petracca fits and behind the controls Stephen Biff Beecham everyone so it's the eve of back to the future day and we're ready to welcome any allegedly fictional time travelers into our midst and if you're confused back to the future day is tomorrow Wednesday October 21st 2015 that's the exact day that Marty McFly vest in tow and company found themselves in Hill Valley transported to 2015 in the nineteen eighty nine flick back to the future part two so the actual date from the movie is tomorrow we've literally been preparing for this event for I mean almost two years now I mean Amanda started reading posts about it a couple years ago I think it's not over two decades of preparation really so on the show today Kaitlyn is going to coach us on how to prepare for tomorrow for the big day and also give us a preview of a few of her reviews of the leading products of 2015 from the back from the future universe and amanda has also got some things to review of her own I think he's actually got some back to the future schwag on hand i know i've got my glass of or my glass of pepsi perfect right here sony's will give that another taste test and then finally we'll have the conversation that everyone is having this week about what the movie got right and what the movie got wrong and we'll also talk about how we would create our own back to the future sequel if it were set 30 years from now 45 so lots of fun if you want to join in the conversation we've got the YouTube and livestream chat rooms going you can watch on livestream com /c net / the crave cast there's a dozens of people in that chat room already and also on our YouTube page which I think Stephen they can get to it youtube.com slash CNN yes we're on the front door / youtube channel so just go to youtube.com slash cnet and you'll find us yeah awesome and I'm also keeping an eye on the crave Twitter feed so if you want to tweet at us at crave you can get us that way as well so maybe a Caitlyn why don't you kick things off you wrote this great piece on how people can basically prepare for back to the future day tomorrow what are your tips to get ready well I mean honestly it's really a collection of hey here's what to watch and here's what to know and here's what to do um it also kind of touches a little bit on like things that we've seen so far that we have so playing more into everything that you really Amanda and you over and about so Pepsi perfect the recently we saw that was at jaws 19 actual trailer came out which was pretty hilarious and it talks a lot to about where you can watch and where you can get the entire trilogy which is available today now they have like um all new bonus items and discs and the blu-ray version has all these special features and things a lot of it is a lot of like repeating documentaries and stuff that we've actually already seen in other releases for the blu-ray or the discs or whatever and I think there's really only one quote unquote all new bonus disc with like a new short that features Doc Brown things like restoring the DeLorean and then a 2009 documentary about the making of the film and how it's totally impacted pop culture and our technology things nowadays so yeah sounds cool excellent um and so Amanda you had also um like I said you've been kind of keeping an eye on this for a couple years now you've actually tried out a lot of the schwag from the movie you want to give us a rundown of your experiences in your preparations for the big day well I've got a couple items that come from halloweencostumes.com they have a deal to make some officially licensed products what corresponds most interesting has to be so these light up sweet but they don't socialites we're not there yet Becky earlier in the year when the nike designer said they were working on some placing shoes but I don't know we're kind of running out of time here I'm still hoping those who live here but uh these uh these little numbers are you know but the light up part is is probably the coolest factor about these but they do look pretty good they look pretty close to the the screen ones they don't have the Nike logo but so those are the replica ones right not been nike yeah these are they likely the hundred-dollar roughly replicas this is I think is the early version of the replica I think they have you know done some upgrades to the current model that's available now well it's pretty sweet the charge up through USB so I mean the charger shoes by your coffee it's always kind of experience and of course there's this number yes but Stephen you got to try an actual hoverboard right yeah I got to ride the Hendo hoverboard at arcs packs and I think it's Los Gatos and it was pretty amazing experience I mean you have to be on a track you know you have to be on a magnetic or a conductive surface to ride it but um it was a lot of fun I mean I would just you go into a spin like a 360 spin you could just spin forever just keep going for it there's no inertia now so nothing to stop you but um yeah that they actually arcs packs just announced that they're going to release like a more skateboard friendly version of the hoverboard tomorrow oh they're having like a big event and we really we're trying to get over there but they said there's no there's no room or they're all booked what so they're gonna let us see it like maybe next week or something so keep your eyes out for that and now Amanda you you wore those uh those self-lacing Nikes around for a while at one point right what was the reaction like well I wore them for an entire week everywhere I went I more than a band practice I wore them out to you know hear music at a club at night and inevitably people would always ask well do they lace themselves high recognition I mean there's a certain cool factor just have light up shoes kind of like the kids have liked but for adults really great but when people recognize where they were from I was always asked do they lace and I had to admit well no but they glow and that's that was pretty cool so I did get a lot of reactions i had grocery store a lot of just stares to not everybody had the guts to say anything to me about it but i did get a lot of looks cuz i wore them lit up everywhere i went as you would do so yeah i gotta tell you i knew a guy who bought them when they went on sale what was it a few years ago right four years ago five years ago the nike ones they actually sold into a guy who bought them and they were sleek we're amazing they were stymied next one's gonna be self-lacing we hope so I've heard rumors so in preparation for this week and stuff I've done I've been reading sneaker blogs with primarily a thing you guys are they're huge thing they are huge crazy and so there are rumors and semi confirmed but not really confirmed but his from nike and details from nike that they're working on a new replica a new version possibly so please I mean the details are really cloudy and I've actually heard rumors that's gonna happen tomorrow because of course it'd be on the anniversary but I mean why wouldn't you capitalize look out for that but I you know the technology might be feel pretty far away well in a Caitlyn you're working on a piece for two r 0 for 4 back to the future day were you and some of our colleagues went through some of the products that are in the back to the future universe but maybe didn't actually make it to our universe and you reviewed them as if you were in the back to the future universe right yeah so actually Sarah and I are working on kind of a compliation of what if the 2015 that Marty and Doc traveled to actually was our reality so like what if back to the future was a documentary and how would we review those products yeah in that world and that cannon yeah there's no internet yeah probably no cell phones because the movie doesn't have really anything like what we have crazy to think about um so how are people gonna be reading your review my fast oh yeah or newspaper the newspaper silly yeah that's true I talk about alternative I mean they also have those like a hologram oh yeah yeah Cass center yeah cuz that's how he found out the Cubs win the World Series is so it'll today in the town square popping up for everyone knew yeah in between a dream jaws thanks yeah we should just made a video of it we could have been projected in hologram oh goodness but yeah so we chose what six or seven different products yeah we're still here and we're kind of writing it as though was in universe in Cannon and saying well here's what we liked about the self air-drying adjustable jacket that Marty has your dragon is now dry or the Black & Decker food hydrator yeah which it's been a fun one it's argue about Oh quite oh yes so many arguments about how it works and what kind of food you would get out of it yeah cuz I mean what would happen if you put like beef jerky see we don't know and my argument is like maybe in this version of the future you have a dehydrator which people have now and then this is the opposite of that so maybe you dehydrate a sandwich you make and then take it with you to like work on Monday I there's so many maybe it's like the New Age version of the freezers yeah like it'sit's some way you use it yeah we have like the pasta that they make and then we put in the microwave yeah oh yeah they you have a dehydrator yeah you add something you put it in the hydrator at work exactly you go yeah or else you buy your packet of pizza hut yeah or you know yeah Donald's hamburger yeah you might go size version okay and then you take that with you I can you imagine how this would impact costco there probably wouldn't be a costco or that a food hydrator well but oh how would they sell the hot dog abuser would buy right you would buy already 20 pizzas from Pizza Hut at a time or else you also make your own so my argument is like maybe in this version of the future you're also still making food from scratch like there are two camps of people those who only eat out and those are people who actually make food and then they make a steak and put it in their dehydrator and then tutor to I don't sometime later we don't know how much this like effects of preservation and then they there's so many things so there's a lot that we're taking into consideration like if you have a hydrator what kind of pizza did that even make for them so was it chewy was it crispy was it gummy yeah was it like microwave pizza cuz I like Ashley anti microwave pizza so my argument is maybe this won't give you the stairs a serious pro crispy pizza eater I am NOT about that look like a nice team we had a long discussion I don't know maybe maybe it rehydrates the food and then cooks it too I there's so many questions are you to assist to cook I have so many questions I Winnie so as you can see we had Sarah write the video for food I trainer like I have many opinions as the foodie we chose her to do that yeah no but we have those we have a holla max so actually reviewing the movie technology and then me what L suburb or lover boy Wow hoverboard mattel hoverboard the nike air max is that we definitely reviewed those but yeah it should be fun like I said six or seven and we're gonna have that tomorrow as part of the big back to the future stuff yeah nice well I've got one product from the movie here that isn't really real except that they made a few of them I mentioned this earlier so this is this is the Pepsi perfect from the movie and they gave out a limited amount of these at New York comic-con and then they sent a few to the the nerdier reporters Amanda Amanda because she's in where our ups center is and not at the outskirts like I I do got her for me and she got to do the taste that's first as you can see she's tasted something yeah I've been off tried it yet um I know that these were selling for like a few hundred dollars on ebay there briefly although I think I signed some papers that would prevent me from selling this for profit so I'm gonna go ahead okay yeah first try here you think your eyes but I wanna know like you gotta go can you tell us about the packaging first you guys glass plastic heavy light Mexico what um it is it is in plastic and it came I assume we got the same thing Amanda it came in like kind of a clear crystal plastic tube thing to make it look a little more dramatic there's no one oh wait yeah and I do have this this is the box it came in oh fun thing that is really cool I think we might have just done the first unboxing of pepsi perfect yeah we should have planned that better Eric yeah no kidding um so one thing about this I guess I'd never paid that much attention to the nutritional value of the other Pepsi products has 56 grams of sugar and oh is it perfect sherry so it's not just like the the glass Pepsi's I would imagine something look that up I'm on it yeah of pepsi's and we're going to code the bigger oh well yes it is it is it's not like high fructose corn syrup is it is it like real sugar no said it i would get some yeah okay well it doesn't say cane sugar but this is so yet 210 calories per bottle 56 grams of sugar this is what the future how many ounces is it this is a this is 16 ounces so it's kind of a big one but it's it's half a liter yeah when you say it like that sounds great bigger than 16 ounces that's half a liter I'm gonna have half a liter pepsi metrics by the way it takes on speaking tablespoons of sugar it tastes like Pepsi what did you think Amanda oh yeah no it tastes like Pepsi it's got the real sugar though so it's not the corn syrup version which is nice I guess it's funny I don't think I've had a Pepsi in probably 25 years yeah but its distinctive it's like tastes like a Pepsi yep but it's a nice little packaging you know it's kind of cool to hold something I saw on film they did a pretty I think a pretty close approximation of how it looks in the movie still looks like a shampoo container um so I found that a regular what 12-ounce Pepsi is a hundred and fifty calories and sugars are 41 so I guess it really is just a radio Pepsi yeah that's a can so then like the turtle mounts yeah I'll can I think like a typical 20 fluid ounce bottle you would buy has 69 grams see so you're yeah you're sitting in the you're sending the good that's what it really is just Pepsi so that's pretty crazy so we're taking the same approach the obesity epidemic good clearly blase yeah one thing i should i should say is we should actually say happy back to the future day to new zealand and australia melon 1168 points out in youtube chat room your day for New Zealand right yeah don't tell us how it turns out what's are you you hate it don't run into yourself in New Zealand right now you'll break the world so you know one thing I thought we should do Stephen to kind of move into some of our our critiques of how the future turned out our critique of the present luke westaway over at the scene at UK came up with a pretty slick little little video with the de Warren do you have that cute up Steven I got it here we go check this out Alice videos so awesome you it's 2015 and folks we're living in the future but how does the glittering era we currently inhabit compared to our long-held benchmark for technological progress back to the future part to the Year 2015 as visited by Marty McFly got a lot of things right about today's tech but in other ways our modern contraptions are way beyond anything we could have imagined back in the 80s here are the tech predictions that back to the future got right and bought it missed let's start with something the movie got right the rise of the smart home Marty's future house is absolutely packed with gadgets from flat-screen TVs used for video calls to fingerprint scanning door locks and voice control just about everywhere it's dangerous to enter without lights on right thumb yes in our own 2015 meanwhile one of the year's biggest trends has been giving our own home appliances a similar high-tech makeover our door lock sense our presence our thermostats can be controlled from anywhere our lights change color our homes can be viewed remotely while bizarre robots roam our carpets hydrate level 4 please admittedly modern smart homes still can't cook a pizza in second but there is one more similarity both McFly's and today's tech enabled household struggle to make voice control work yes sirree where's the fruit let me think about that here's what I found on the web ville yes sirree where's the fruit there is one thing missing from Marty smart home and it's the biggest problem with the film's vision of the future where's the internet the internet has been without a doubt the greatest tech revolution of the last 25 years offering instant digital communication between devices and putting the sum of human knowledge at our fingertips but in Marty's 2015 there's no sign that various gadgets are talking to each other indeed there's not even a hint of email with fax machines still the primary method of communication fax is one thing but when it comes to a technology that's been steadily evolving over the last half a century Back to the Future proved remarkably prescient modern television has come a long way since the medium started gaining traction in the middle of the last century and Back to the Future source several changes coming for one thing our TVs are flat panels and they're multifunctional handling all manner of apps including video chat and while we don't tend to watch six channels at once the modern phenomenon of second screen viewing does divide our attention with IMDB or reactions on Twitter never far from our field of vision speaking of those second screens one thing nobody in the 80s could have anticipated was the role that mobile gadgets would play in our lives the McFly kids of 2015 might have something resembling Google glass but it's not as personal or powerful as a modern smartphone these goggles are hooked up to a shared telephone line for goodness sake dan is for you and speaking of personal tech where are all the social networks if Marty jr. had really wanted to avoid Griffin his gang he could have just checked his Instagram let's talk about entertainment an area in which Back to the Future made some very solid predictions indeed take young Elijah woods discussed that 80's gaming involved using your hands and then consider motion-based advances such as Microsoft's connects all the oculus rift and while we're not watching jaws 19 in hollow max the modern cinema landscape is dominated by sequels and franchises man the DeLorean is cool and indeed Back to the Future did make some great predictions about innovation in the automotive industry it just didn't quite guess where that innovation was happening our future lacks commercially available flying vehicles but we've got self-driving cars looming on the horizon and fully electric cars are rapidly gaining traction which is pretty darn cool don't forget that while the deloreans time circuits are powered by the trash consuming mr. fusion the car itself still ran on gasoline chalk one up for the non-fictional timeline so all things considered how accurate was Back to the Future well bearing in mind the makers of the movie were probably more concerned with making an entertaining film and playing off the Damas a lot of it is pretty spot-on I mean apart from the hoverboard of course which let's be honest is the only thing that any of us ever really wanted of course it's always possible but not to detect the facts the future did predict exists for cisely because it was in the film offering humanity a glittering vision of what to aim for in fact it's almost as if the film itself was a message sent back from the future to our past selves creating multiple technological timelines this is Harry that was awesome um so you know one thing that that thing of facts is being so prominent in the future it's funny that doesn't just come up in back to the future there was a series of ads that AT&T you guys ever seen these they put it out in like nineteen ninety-two oh yeah remember those and I've shown these um I've done a couple of talks at high school high school is about the future and I showed these ads from 92 about like the vision of the future from 20 years ago and there's a scene where a guy has a wireless fax machine set up next to him on the beach he's getting bad sorry we can't wireless fax machines but not cell phone I felt like cell phones yeah it was all those years hey day Zack yeah but even I'm even prior to the 80s they were being worked on James Bond had one in his shoe all right I don't understand well I think back then like the fax machine was such an important development that people thought like oh my god no one's gonna ever give up on this it's a fantastic media and then do you know ten years later people realized they were kind of a pain in the ass and so yes I had to stop so yeah yeah no no cell phones no internet in both things I mean the internet didn't exist yet but you know if you're nerdy enough like some of us here I mean you know compuserve and BBS is like this stuff existed it's seen I mean it seems like it should have been easy to to see what was going especially with cell phones cuz you know people were driving around with big bricks and so so what do we what do we think I mean Luke pretty much broke it down there any other thoughts on what the movie gets wrong and and right no cell phones no internet what else did they miss I think it's really interesting that and that this is seen in the Jetsons and many other examples that so many people thought in the future that we wouldn't do anything everything would be done for us and how much of that has actually shifted because there's more and more people now I mean not everyone but a lot of people want to get back to the roots and do things the traditional way and so despite their thighs no movement sure like this might affect there are plenty of people who probably want complete automation of their lives there so always going to be people who want that hands-on experience so it's just interesting to think that that argument came up a lot in reviewing the Black & Decker hydrator about like I still want to make a pizza from scratch with like an oven even if I could have it the other way I probably wouldn't want to I don't know I'm pretty excited I have a smart home yeah but even if it takes over like that Disney movie smart house fully tries to kill you throwback reference mmm yeah I just thought that to me is really cool that sure maybe automate the stuff that no one really wants to do like the Roomba yeah I want a room but to vacuum for me cuz I never want to do that myself ever again but I still want to do things on my own my own hands I wanted Mintos my dishes yeah I was gonna say weird pull the dishwasher you got a place apartment yeah that's been it yeah I knew only got like a like a robotic thing that like picks up the dish and like washes in no I mean I was something that loads the dishwasher wash as it unloads it for me I mean they just came up with one that folds my laundry yeah they also came up with like a thing that's like a washer and a dryer in one yeah but it won't fold pan back there on top of ya Japan is that they want to do anything I respect that Oh what am i doing wrong yeah I think there's a the like the assumption is that will make robots that do things the way that do things for us of laundry dishwasher whatever by me isn't it look more likely that you know what's actually going to evolve our self washing clothes like the fabric like you or something like you turn jack yeah exactly more realistic I don't know I think especially people who are our futurists or work in creating science fiction or you know kind of more I guess run in the same circles that we do you know what kind of the minority and what I mean is that your average person it probably has a stronger sense of nostalgia in the past and a connection to the past then their connection to wanting to see technology and innovation advance you know like our bond to the past is actually stronger than our bond of the future I think which is why stuff doesn't actually move forward that fast or look that much crazier and that's why we have like a slow food movement so instead of hydrated pizzas you know yeah I totally agree with that I also call shenanigans on that pizza that you see in there there is no way that you order a half and half pizza and the the toppings are that aligned so you can actually see the the mark where the halves I actually are and we found the one who has OCD worse than me just say um it's all I mean how do we how do we feel about the future that we got the 2015 that we got compared to the vision from the movie which I wrote about this a little bit a few months ago in a piece for her grave but you know it seems to me that that the vision of the movie is actually kind of terrifying and in that it's like just a hyperactive version of the 1980s and everything that was terrible about it turned up to 11 um yeah I'm so much happier to be living in this timeline yeah I was led to believe I would have more hair in 2015 Ashley and I don't think anyone really led you to believe my family no they did yeah because like you know cuz doc goes when he brings Marty back to the future he makes a big deal of like how he talked about he went to like a rejuvenation clinic and so he like pulls off the skin still looks okay but I was thinking you know by 2015 maybe you know they could do something about people not having hair but it probably cost a lot because Marty actually talks to the guy in front of the Cubbies announcement and that guy is basically balding that's true so it's probably really pricey what sense kind of our future right now yeah not not in that way but there are incredibly expensive cosmetic procedures you can get to make yourself looking at are completely frivolous rubber yeah pretty much some of which are completely speaking of which doc doc brown ok Doc Brown does not look that much different Christopher Lloyd does not look that much different is that a testament to how well he's aged or this is a great makeup job they did 30 years ago porque no los dos yeah like when you hit your macro level you just stay the same I think I'm content with a future we have but I think like you said you know the immense advancements haven't really happened and things are moving both incredibly rapidly in my opinion because look at like how far cell phones have come in the last five to ten years and then yet like the electric car has been around for decades and only ever took off two years recently yeah so it's it's so interesting to see I grew up watching The Jetsons and I was like very firmly believing that like by the time I was 30 which totally not gonna happen but the time I was 30 that wasn't me my life and obviously that's not explore alert Sarah and I heard the young one yeah it's weird but I'm also not that far away from 30 so it's not gonna happen anytime soon but I don't know i mean i think to the question is that has all of us focus on back to the future day made us more aware of our shortcomings in a this future timeline yeah has made us think more about and shoot for things like the hoverboard the hoverboard yeah placing shoes the self-driving car getting to that level of automation that we kind of expected to happen and that stuff's ramped up just recently cuz i wonder is that maybe yeah there's that that cog turning in people's brains of at this point in history we should have been there or we were thinking we were gonna come here I know my eyes just capitalizing on the marketing opportunity like Toyota has had a hydrogen cell cars and like that right yeah a while in what Southeast Asia and they're only now tomorrow launching or using it as the day to quote unquote launch yeah the US and the UK and things like that although have put out some really cool promos for it it's been pretty awesome yeah but I mean maybe it's that maybe it's that we're just more aware of it because tomorrow is back to the future day yeah we're looking at it under a microscope Lee hmm well I mean let's let's not forget I'm I'm hosting a show that's broadcast to the world for literally anyone I mean people can watch this on their phones in Kenya if they wanted to and if they had you know the right flash I and I'm doing so from my office in a town of 5,000 people in northern New Mexico with you guys in san francisco and i mean like so the elements of this are in the movie but like the broad capability and power of like what we're doing like actually couldn't been conceived of so we're not we're not doing too bad i mean we have these amazing tools to solve problems we just still have the same human flaws that prevent us from from solving all the problems we have you know well said um well what do we think about the future from here i wrote a piece a couple months ago that talked about you know if this movie if another sequel will be to release net were released now so in other words if we head back to the future part 4 where we go from 20 15 to 20 45 what is it what is that future look like you guys have any thoughts about that oh my god i really hope we've already gone to Mars like Leon Mars please can I go it's all sir I've been reading the Martian a lot lately you know like I'm obsessed with that future but oh goodness I really hope that self-driving cars are fully spread across like at least united states are most the developed world i hope that's a concrete thing and i wonder if it's just going to be a lot of the text that we have now but far more better developed and far more widespread like i don't know what do you guys think of like what would be the next crazy you know nano do teristics can be like insects eyes drones everywhere that doing have to regulate people are gonna be scared of like three already are kind of but they also do really cool stuff yeah they do good things to help deliver direct medicine inside of your body to specific targeted cells or they would yeah they would help very good yeah by utilizing your own immune system or yeah which didn't Crichton wrote a book about those or somebody no I i remember being slightly younger and like no I was like trying to come up with a cure for cancer and like it they're finally starting like I'm a scientist they're starting to get the technology that would actually make that work with like nanobots and whatnot and it's just interesting like I don't know I had a thought there and then it just kind of disappeared sorry um Michael Gray dream up ray oh yeah that's it was the book called pray as always thinking of november two thousand two and it was nanotechnology and it explored things like artificial life and genetic all their algorithms i'm scanning the wikipedia right now is basically like nano swarms become predators and how that affects our creation of them and marty mcfly's future you would had to get that information facts to you so 2045 interestingly is actually one of the dates that Ray Kurzweil he's the he's the singularity guy you know yeah he works for Google now in 2045 is one of the dates he targets as when he thinks will have hit the technological singularity which is when one computer is powerful enough to equal the power of like all human brains in otherwise it's like this huge AI frontier um we're like when humans just become one with machines right is that right i mean that's weird i mean part of it and then another part of it is like the potential so if you have computers that are basically smarter than all of humanity like that's so um that's such a paradigm shift that it's like pointless to even try and predict it's like all predictions would like break down after 30 years because we can't really even conceive for the potential of that so when I when I wrote the piece predicting what might happen I I actually didn't focus on anything beyond 2045 because the earliest pointless but um yeah I mean I think that I would see like some kind of a continuation of kind of the trends we've seen where technology becomes like more mobile and ubiquitous but at the same time it becomes more invisible so you know in the way that it seems silly that we're talking about faxes versus like mobile devices seem so much easier you carried around your pocket why wouldn't you think of that I mean I could see a future where in 30 years it seems silly the concept of mobile devices because it's in your contact lens why would you carry anything around you know so I know Amanda what do you think where we headed well I think 2045 I think we'll get a fax machine revival it'll be it become slow communication like see this for the Cubs to actually win the World Series oh my god okay Sarah and I were talking a lot about that and how the dates were a little off right with lady because it cuz they added the movie was October 21st right but here we're obviously still in the championship series and we have reached the World Series right and would it have even been mathematically possible yeah but we weren't able to come up with like a straight answer because there's at some point this feels like a season the seasons have changed and did yeah because even I think you've been like in the early 90s the World Series didn't really go past the beginning of October right um a good example is it was just recently the anniversary of the 1989 World Series earthquake this was like two October 17 right and that was like Dean it was last Saturday and that was the third game yeah World Series the Battle of the bay um and so we were like well yeah mother I gotten pushed back they had already you know gone through all these playoffs we're not even quite done yet so I wonder wonder where that might be because there's no just more baseball team we think something we have thought about it was probably tianjin team expand and adding to the number of games regular-season game too yeah yeah yeah yeah just all these little changes that have been made that push everything back right give television more airtime yeah that's totally what it's all about but it's still a possibility dude it's it's so possibility for a little while longer I feel like Back to the Future fans who don't have a team are now rooting for the Cubs oh yeah you like baseball root for the Cubs you guys come on I'm not anyway Sandra so any final back to the future thoughts before we sign off no I just wish they still had the ride at Universal Studios do they still have the unit of the Back to the Future ride at Universal Studios yeah I don't think so got turned into something else that's my final thought oh I would also like to find out that this is what they thought 2015 sunglasses would look like and I can't even put them on but uh ya know it really goes to that I can't even see with him Claudia the music helps the dive it does it
