- Why is this stressing me out so much?
I feel like I'm sweating.
♪ (upbeat intro) ♪
- (FBE) So, there are over 46 million posts on Instagram
under the hashtag Throwback Thursday.
In this episode of Staff Reacts is gonna put your nose
for nostalgia to the test. Can you recognize
the very cast that you work with by their baby photos?
- Oh my God.
- I used to be a reactor, but now I work behind the camera,
so this is gonna be really embarrassing if I suck.
- (FBE) There's a twist to this one though.
We're gonna be playing production vs post production.
- Ooh. - Oh, so I have to represent.
It's fun to add a little twist to add some stakes.
If I get my butt kicked and I have to go back
to everyone in post and be like, I failed you.
- I'm feeling pretty confident. I feel like the post side
of the company is the one that's been here for
a very, very long time. Just, we know everyone
on the show.
- (FBE) This is how it's gonna work.
I'm gonna show you a baby picture of one of
our cast members and the first person
to hit the button and guess correctly
gets a point. The person with the most
points wins. You're allowed to get
one clue. You only get one guess per picture.
Are you ready to play? - I guess.
- I can't let my team down. I have to step it up.
- Post will win. - Today, I think is the day
we're gonna win. Production's gonna take it.
- (FBE) Here's your first picture.
- Oh no. - Oh, shoot.
- Is it Elizabeth? - (FBE) Incorrect.
- Is it Faith? - (FBE) It is Faith.
- Oh, I totally see it now.
- Okay, so I'm gonna guess that this is probably
an elder, 'cause it's a black and white photo.
- Okay. - Right?
- I don't know. Are we on a team here?
- No, no, no, no. - Faith?
- (FBE) Correct. - Damn it.
- Is it Faith?
- Is it Faith? - (FBE) Correct.
- That's who I was thinking of.
- Is it Elizabeth? - (FBE) Not correct.
- Very cute baby, though. - I'm gonna go with Robert,
Mr. Worldwide. (buzzer)
- I'll take a clue. - (FBE) This is an adult.
- Barbara. (buzzer)
- I literally was looking at her footage right now.
Is it Faith? - Yay.
- (FBE) This is Faith, one of our adult reactors.
She's been on React since 2016 and has been
in 78 episodes to date. - Oh my gosh.
- She's been in 78-- I remember when she started.
- (FBE) Here is our next. This is a video.
Can you recognize this person?
♪ (goofy music) ♪
- He's got moves. - He is going in.
I'm gonna guess-- Can I guess Labib?
- (FBE) This is Labib. - Is it, yeah.
- Oh my God, he's such a cute dancer.
- Is it Labib? - (FBE) It is Labib.
- Oh, that's Labib?
- January 3, 2000-something. - Okay.
- So he was that old in 2000-something.
- I mean, Labib, right? - (FBE) Yeah.
- Okay.
- If you could just go in my brain and see
the face I'm seeing, I know who that is.
I don't know his name. - I think he's an adult.
- Is he an adult? - Labib?
- Oh my God.
- I'm pretty sure I know who this is.
I wanna say it's Labib. - Is it Labib?
- Yes. - Oh my--
- Oh, Labib. Labib is the most confident
person I know, as you can tell from this video.
That's what makes him great.
- (FBE) This is Labib. He's one of our college kids
and he knows MMA, martal arts, and of course,
the art of dance. - I actually knew that.
I follow him on Instagram and he teaches me
how to defend myself.
- I mean, maybe it's best that he stays MMA.
- (FBE) All right, who's this? - Ooh, ooh.
I just worked on this episode. Is it Phil?
- (FBE) It is Phil. - Yes.
- Is it Phil? - (FBE) It is Phil.
- Yes, yes.
- I'm going for it. Is it Don?
- (FBE) Incorrect. - Damn.
- That's a good guess though. Oh my goodness,
why is this stressing me out so much?
I feel like I'm sweating. Is it Phil?
- (FBE) It is Phil. - Shut up.
- Oh, I know exact-- sorry.
We just did an episode with this.
I wanna say it's Loyd. - (FBE) It's not Loyd.
Incorrect. - I'ma say it's Rock.
I don't think it's Rock though. - (FBE) Incorrect.
- Dang it.
- I know, context clues-- - Is it Ted?
- (FBE) It is not Ted. - This was a black and white
photo that was colorized, which makes me think
it was an elder. Ed?
(buzzer) - Do we have an Ed?
I don't think we have an Ed.
- I'll take a hint. - Okay.
- Let's take a hint. - Yeah.
- (FBE) Elder, male, and known around the office
as a real rabble rouser. - Is it Rock?
- (FBE) No. - Damn it.
- Is it Don? - (FBE) No.
This is Phil. - Oh, wow.
- Definitely is the first one that I'm like,
he does not look like-- - Yeah.
I can kinda see it, but not really.
- (FBE) This is Phil. He is one of our beloved
elders who's at the age of 78 and still
playing basketball two times a week.
- Are you for real? Wow, get it, Phil.
- (FBE) Phil is also an amateur rapper.
- Yep. - Yes.
- I can see that.
- He's been in a lot of music videos,
so I can see him maybe making up some lyrics,
some rap lines from them.
- I gotta get one or I'm just gonna go home
and feel so bad. I'm gonna go to my office
and study.
- (FBE) Who is this? - Ooh, I do not know.
- Start guessing just any name. - Debra.
- (FBE) No. - Christine?
Okay.
- I feel like I know the face, but I could not place it.
- Cheryl? (buzzer)
- Is it Ary? - (FBE) Incorrect.
- No.
- Is this Vanessa? (buzzer)
Oh, shoot. - Chad?
- (FBE) Incorrect.
- I wanna clue for this at least so we can narrow it down.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - (FBE) This adult is
a funny person. - A funny person.
She is a funny person. Tori?
- (FBE) Incorrect. - Dang it.
- Is it Cheryl? - (FBE) Incorrect.

- Maybe we'll need the hint. - (FBE) She is a very funny person.
- We have a lot of funny people here.
Sharon? - (FBE) Correct.
- Ah.
- There's two that I have in mind.

in her own life. - Yeah, she's hilarious.

I knew that! I'm gonna flip this [bleep] table.
- I'm sorry.
- (FBE) This is Tom. He's one of our adult
reactors and did you know he has been in over
362 episodes? - God, Tom, chill.
- That's an episode of Tom every day for a whole year.
- Yeah. - That's a lot of Tom.
- Tom is never gonna let you live this down.
Tom, just know I love you more than your boss does.
- (FBE) So I'm sorry, but that does put
an extra point on the post board. - Couldn't just let me
have one, Karen? - You almost had it.
- He works in this office and I saw him at lunch today.
- (FBE) Who is this? - I don't know.

I see the face. It's so cute.
I think it's-- is it Will?

- Darius. - (FBE) Incorrect.
- Oof. - Oh, is it Will?
- (FBE) That is correct. - Yeah, boy.
- Darius? (buzzer)
- I would love a clue. - Oh, I should have waited
for the clue. - (FBE) This is a teen
who is multi-talented. - As opposed to all our--
- Oh, Will. Will can do everything.
- I guess is that Will? - (FBE) It is Will.
- It's the eyes. - Yeah.
- That's Will.
That's straight up Will. - Oh, that's Will.
- Will. - (FBE) It is Will.
- Oh my God.
- (FBE) This is our Will. He's one of our teen reactors
and he's multi-talented as a dancer, choreographer,
and actor. - He is so crazy talented.
- He does it all. He's always working.
I'm always impressed. I'm like, I kinda wanna be
like you when I grow up. - Right?
- (FBE) Who's this? - Is it Nora?
- (FBE) No. - Catherine?
- (FBE) It is. - Yay.
- No, how could I have missed that?
- Oh, I-- We probably both worked
on this episode. - Yeah.
- I'll let you take it. - Pretty sure it's Holgy.
- (FBE) It is incorrect. - Oh, it's Catherine.
- Yeah, it's Catherine. - Yeah.
- I just saw this. This is Catherine.
- The eyes. - The eyes are so familiar
but I can't place them. - Those are Catherine's eyes.
- Oh, those are Catherine's eyes.
- Hoagie. - (FBE) No.
Also, it's Holgy, not a sandwich.
- Alex? (buzzer)
- (FBE) Go ahead. - Rita, my grandmother's name.
- Holgy? - (FBE) No.
This is... - Ah, Catherine.
- Oh, that's-- I kinda see it.
- (FBE) This is Catherine. She's one of our elder reactors
and has been reacting with us since 2012.
- That's crazy. - She's awesome.
She's met a lot of musicians too, throughout her years.
She has some crazy stories.
- She's the rock and roll elder. That's how I know her,
'cause that's her Twitter handle, but also she loves
classic rock.
- I want Catherine to be my grandma.
- Everyone does. - I know.
She's so cool.
- (FBE) Who is this? - Mikaela.
- It totally is. It totally is.

- Yes!
- Is it Mikaela? - (FBE) It is Mikaela.

those boots? - Hell yeah.
What? Honestly, I would not be
surprised if she still had those boots.

- It's the boots. - Super glad she joined
the C Team so we get to see her now
in the office more. - Yes, all the time.

- Just gonna go for it. Is that Mikaela?
- (FBE) It is. - Ah!
- (FBE) This is Mikaela. She's one of our teen reactors
and a member of your very team, Maddie.
If you didn't guess this, I don't know what
we would have done. - Guess that answers who
I love the most. - Every child's nightmare.
Mom definitely loves one of us better.
- (FBE) It's a tie score, you two.
- Yeah. - I did it.
I caught up. Production post should
always be one. We are all on the same team.
- It is an honor. I do still think
I'm gonna get a lot of [bleep] from everybody
coming in being like, "Why didn't you get
my baby picture?"
- (FBE) Congratulations.
- I didn't let my team down. I can walk down
to my office without any shame.
- Do I win anything? - (FBE) No, you get to go
back to your department with you head held high.
- Wow. - Yes.
- She wins bragging rights. - Wow.
- But you know what? Post has to do the episode,
so keep that in mind.
- (FBE) Why do you think, guys, that we're obsessed
with ourselves as babies? - 'Cause it was a simpler time.
We didn't have student loans.
- People forget that time goes by very quickly
and I moved halfway across the country,
so I'm away from my family, so I don't have any
of those baby photos or anything,
so I miss it for the nostalgia feeling.
- We change so much and it's kind of nice to go
back and see what you started looking like.
- Now with the elders, we're colorizing old
black and white photos, but when we're that age--
- We'll have so much. - We're gonna have to
make them in VR or something like--
that's gonna be making old digital pictures into VR.
- Thanks for watching us guess that baby photo.
