Karen and Tony talk about car accidents, gum balls and Canada.
Show notes:
- Here's that link to Episode 1 of Fantasy Island
- Bill Bixby's Incredible Hulk and Fantasy Island both premiered as TV movies in 1977, becomes series in1978
- Ford Gum's innovation was as much about their machines as their gum
- A list of ways people realize they're not little kids anymore including "old women would stop smiling at me in stores".
- The remainder of these show notes are written by Tony. Karen doesn't agree with their content or tone.
- Canada became its own country in 1867, not 1912 as Tony said. Canada did not become a country by signing a Declaration of Independence or fighting an 8-year revolutionary war or anything rash. They became a country by an act of the British Parliament.
- There were many subtle consequences from the War of 1812. Here's a good place to start.
- Here's a alternate history forum that goes into some of the what-ifs that Tony was blathering about.
- Canada would add about 50 electoral votes in a U.S. presidential election.
