Let's go to your next game. Stephanie, what is something you miss about the '80s?
STEPHANIE HAGADORN: I miss the movies.
EISENBERG: The movies?
HAGADORN: The movies in the '80s.
EISENBERG: Like, which one?
HAGADORN: Well, I just liked that you could, like, settle everything on the slopes, you know?
(LAUGHTER)
HAGADORN: (Laughter) A simpler time, you know?
EISENBERG: Yeah, it was a simpler time.
EISENBERG: Alyssa, what is something you miss about the '80s?
ALYSSA SABLE 2: So I lived about four years of my life in the '80s. So I miss, you know, being coddled and catered 3 to...
EISENBERG: Sure.
SABLE: ...You know, basically, 24 hours a day.
(LAUGHTER)
EISENBERG: Carried?
SABLE: Yeah, shout out to my mom, who's here (laughter), so...
EISENBERG: That's nice. Well, the '80s were an eventful decade for Dallas. The city got a new mass-transit system, faced financial challenges, built big buildings and even bigger hair. Those things happened in the 1980s. And they also happened in the 1880s.
So Jonathan and I will continue to draw those parallels in a trivia game about the 1880s called '80s Nostalgia 4. Stephanie, you won the last game. So if you win this, you are in the final round. Alyssa, you need to win this or our intern 5 will tell you what year she was born in.
SABLE: (Laughter).
(LAUGHTER)
EISENBERG: It makes everyone feel bad.
All right, here we go. In the 1980s, Aerosmith's song, "Love In An Elevator" was all the rage.
JONATHAN COULTON: In the 1880s, the elevator was all the rage thanks to the development of very tall buildings, also known as what?
(SOUNDBITE OF BELL)
COULTON: Alyssa?
SABLE: Skyscrapers 6.
COULTON: That's correct.
EISENBERG: Correct, yeah.
(APPLAUSE)
COULTON: In the 1980s, TV audiences gawked at "General Hospital's" alliterative pair Luke and Laura.
EISENBERG: In the 1880s, live audiences gawked at the circus show produced by what alliterative pair?
(SOUNDBITE OF BELL)
EISENBERG: Stephanie?
HAGADORN: Barnum and Bailey's.
EISENBERG: Absolutely.
(APPLAUSE)
EISENBERG: Technically 7, it's Barnum & Bailey. I like that you made it, like, the liqueur (laughter).
HAGADORN: Possessive.
(LAUGHTER)
EISENBERG: In the 1980's, people were terrified by Stephen King's "Cujo," a fictional 8 dog with rabies.
COULTON: In the 1880s, people were terrified by actual rabies until a vaccine 9 was developed by what French chemist, also known for sterilizing 10 milk?
(SOUNDBITE OF BELL)
COULTON: Stephanie?
HAGADORN: Louis Pasteur.
COULTON: You've got it.
(APPLAUSE)
EISENBERG: In the 1980s, "Flashdance" depicted 11 the double life of a welder 12, who was secretly a maniac 13 on the floor.
COULTON: In the 1880s, what popular book depicted the double life of a physician, who was secretly a straight-up maniac?
(SOUNDBITE OF BELL)
COULTON: Stephanie?
HAGADORN: "Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde."
COULTON: Yeah, that's right.
EISENBERG: Yeah.
SABLE: Oh, it's so obvious.
HAGADORN: (Laughter).
(APPLAUSE)
COULTON: In the 1980s, popularity soared for the band AC/DC.
EISENBERG: In the 1880s, popularity soared for AC, as in alternating current, during Thomas Edison's rivalry 14 with which inventor?
(SOUNDBITE OF BELL)
EISENBERG: Alyssa?
SABLE: That was a premature 15 buzz (laughter).
(LAUGHTER)
EISENBERG: But you're in.
COULTON: It's Billy something.
(LAUGHTER)
SABLE: Billy, it's - I know, yeah, it's - yeah, it's - starts with Billy.
COULTON: You know it's Billy something.
(LAUGHTER)
SABLE: I'm going to have to pass that one.
EISENBERG: Stephanie, can you steal?
HAGADORN: Tesla.
EISENBERG: That's right.
(APPLAUSE)
EISENBERG: All right, this is your last clue. In the 1980s, Pictionary encouraged slapdash sketching 16.
COULTON: In the 1880s, George Seurat's painting, "A Sunday On La Grande Jatte," encouraged painstaking 17 application of small dots of color, a style known as what?
(SOUNDBITE OF BELL)
COULTON: Alyssa?
SABLE: Pointillism.
COULTON: Yeah, that's right.
EISENBERG: Yeah.
(APPLAUSE)
EISENBERG: Never play Pictionary with Seurat, takes forever.
(LAUGHTER)
COULTON: Also, you have to stand way back to see what the hell he's drawing.
EISENBERG: (Laughter) exactly.
(LAUGHTER)
EISENBERG: Puzzle Guru Art Chung, how did our contestants 19 do?
ART CHUNG: We had two great contestants. Stephanie, congratulations, you've won both games. And you're moving on to the final round.
(CHEERING, APPLAUSE)
EISENBERG: It's settled. Our finalists are Marcy and Stephanie. And they will face off in our final round at the end of the show. If you've been bragging 20 about your trivia skills since the 1980s or even the 1880s, just go to amatickets.org to become a contestant 18. And coming up, we're going to fast forward to the 1990s for a game about boy bands with our special guest, Brooklyn Decker. I'm Ophira Eisenberg. And you're listening to ASK ME ANOTHER from NPR.
