  • Two picks: the gigantic boombox with the tape player playing sound effects, which had a four-year run, and throwing pebbles up to someone's window or going in the window of somebody across the street. — Van Lathan
  • Today that would get the police called from a ring camera, or texting would replace it; a trellis a kid could climb is ruled out, especially with a 15-year-old daughter and Johnny Depp across the street.
  • Glenn's crop top football jersey and his white polo under the Nike vest, and Rod Lane's jean jacket with no shirt underneath.
  • The latchkey kid stuff, all the back talk the kids do to the parents, and parents going out on dates or to Vegas.
  • The crop top's number 10 prompts a tangent about Drake May (as transcribed) and the Patriots.
  • The winner is young Johnny Depp; also cited are all the kids' clothes, Glenn's early 80s U2 poster, Nancy's poster of the Police, rotary phones and crucifixes above the bed.
