- Michael O'Keefe is at Apex, coming off The Great Santini into the funniest movie of the year; with Tim Hutton he was a young actor to watch before Sean Penn's class eclipsed them. — Bill Simmons
- Dangerfield's Apex is placed in the mid-80s with Back to School, when he became a draw, plus HBO specials breaking Sam Kinnison and Bill Maher; both participants agree. — Bill Simmons
- Ted Knight: career-wise no, since Mary Tyler Moore is his Apex, but retroactively this became his legacy; Too Close for Comfort gets love. — Bill Simmons
- Chevy Chase: no, he got it for Fletch; Bill Murray: no, though his six days of work are pure and golden. — Sean Fennessey
- Cindy Morgan: sadly, yes. — Bill Simmons
- Cocaine is argued as at Apex, before its damage was widely known and while it fueled the film's disjointed creativity; the other participant is uncomfortable placing it on the mountain. — Bill Simmons
- Baby Ruth bars peak with Goonies instead. — Sean Fennessey
- Golf is argued for 1980, citing Jack Nicholas winning two majors, Tom Watson the British and a rising star taking the Masters; the Tiger Woods Mike Douglas appearance is checked; the reply is a hesitant "yes, I guess." — Bill Simmons
