81:18 – 85:29… like Tom Cruise. People are like who's Tom Cruise? And also there's like one living German mechanic who can fix it. Right. I'm going to say waste of money. Apex Mountain. Cruise obviously not. Brickman definitely. High quality 80s teen movies? I'm going to say it's either this or Fast Times in the finals and I'm going to go with this. I don't know. I mean, is Say Anything 80s or is that 90s? It's 80s, right? No, it counts. I think Say Anything is probably Apex Mountain for me. Okay. I'm going to go with this. Chicago movies.

The whole segment, as transcribed
when nobody knows what risky business was what are you going to do with this two million dollar Porsche? Who's going to be impressed by this? It's like Tom Cruise. People are like who's Tom Cruise? And also there's like one living German mechanic who can fix it. Right. I'm going to say waste of money. Apex Mountain. Cruise obviously not. Brickman definitely. High quality 80s teen movies? I'm going to say it's either this or Fast Times in the finals and I'm going to go with this. I don't know. I mean, is Say Anything 80s or is that 90s? It's 80s, right? No, it counts. I think Say Anything is probably Apex Mountain for me. Okay. I'm going to go with this. Chicago movies. How about Chicago suburbs and I think the Rushmore Chicago suburb movies is Home Alone, Ferris, this and then what would you put forth? Home Alone, Ferris, this and Thief. Thief uses the suburbs really well. That's true. Why not? It's true. Porsche. So Porsche was obviously doing really well at this point. I can vouch firsthand this movie directly influenced an entire generation of young kids who were like, someday I'm going to make enough money that I can drive a Porsche. I think this was one of the best marketing campaigns of all time. Did your dad have a car you weren't allowed to touch? Yeah. He did. My stepdad did, not my dad. Your stepdad? Yeah. Yeah. What was it? I'm not going to say. We also had a motorcycle. Was it a DeLorean? Like, why can't you say? Apex Mountain for pimps? I think Dolomite. You know, like, I think that there's some bigger pimps. Huggy Bear on Starsky and Hutch? Yeah. Yeah. I think pimping had bigger cultural footprint. This is tough. In the air tonight? No, it's got to be Miami Vice, right? It's got to be Miami Vice. In the air tonight isn't the first song I think of when I think of Risky Business. It is the first song I think of when I think of Miami Vice. Finishing last all the times in the last 12 years when some aging sports producer on a major game decided he was in the air tonight and thought he was being cutting edge. Yeah. It's like, the song is now 41 years old. Settle down, guys. Joey Pants, no. Rebecca DeMornay. I mean, technically, I guess, Rocks the Cradle is a bigger movie. And then she does Backdraft right around there too as well, right? Yeah. She's kind of in big blockbusters at that point. I just feel like her career should have been better. Bronson Pinchot, no. The Drake, pretty prominently featured. The Drake's not in Fugitive. Yeah, it is pretty prominently featured for sure. I feel like the Drake has like another appearance in something. Like somebody's staying at the Drake in some other movie, but I can't think of it. Let me just look really quick. I'll move categories as you're looking. Racehorse or fantasy team name? Risky Business as a racehorse is just a great name. Oh, the Drake's to My Best Friend's Wedding. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's what I was trying to remember. Risky Business as a racehorse. I like that. Guido the Killer Pimp as a racehorse. What about White Boys Off the Lake as a racehorse? White Boys Off the Lake or as a fantasy team name? I think those are all good.
