- Dammit.
- Okay cool, so now you have to pretend
that you unironically love The Smurfs on Twitter for a week.
- Hey guys.
- Great dress.
- Thanks, I thrifted it.
You guys ever get the feeling like maybe
you were born into the wrong decade?
- No.
- I do, I really feel like
I would've killed it in the 1960s.
It just was a purer time.
- Yeah, plus the music was great, it was like The Beatles,
The Rolling Stones, you know you'd be like,
(grunting) "I'm a Rolling Stone," right?
- And you could watch the moon landing,
it really feels like the decade
when America came into itself.
- Yeah, but you also couldn't marry someone
of a different race in most of the country.
(record scratches)
- Whoa, Trapp.
- What, that was a defining feature of the 60s.
- Not my 60s.
- Your 60s didn't have segregation.
(wind blows)
- You know, upon further consideration,
I really feel the decade
that I would've destroyed it in, the 1920s.
I mean the flapper dresses are just so chic.
- Plus there's like endless champagne and like,
I'm really good at the Charleston, like watch.
(grunting) I'm doing the Charleston,
I'm doing the Charleston.
- Not to mention Ellis Island.
- Ellis Island?
- It really feels like the decade
when America came into its own, you know?
- Plus you just straight up catch polio and die.
- Whoa.
- Trapp.
- What? It was the 20s, everyone had polio.
Fucking Roosevelt had polio.
Polio's part of the package.
- Clearly when I say I wish I was alive in the 1920s
I mean the fun 1920s, like oh, Some Like It Hot,
or like Al Capone, just like (gun fires).
- The murderer.
- Yeah, well I guess if you really want to delve into
the technicalities of it, sure.
- Those were classic murders.
It was just a more elegant time.
- Fine, if you only take the good parts, then sure,
being young in the 20s would have been fun.
- Thank you.
- And then you would've been just the right age
to die in World War two.
- Whoa.
- Yeah that's right, that's how time works.
- You know, really if I think about it,
the decade that I would've totally annihilated
would be the 1770s,
I mean just those crinolines are so beautiful.
- Think of all the balls, you know.
(elegant dance music)
- Plus the whole revolution thing.
It really was the decade when America came into its own.
- Yeah, or you could be a slave.
(music instantly stops)
- Why would Katie be a slave?
- She could have been a slave!
There were slaves.
Or an indentured servant, or blind from pinkeye,
or dead of smallpox,
you're living in a one room hovel with eight people.
- No, stop it, you're ruining it!
That's what the 1770s were like.
It was shitty for most people, okay?
And you live now.
And sure, now has its problems,
but it's just objectively better, right?
You wouldn't have phones.
- My baby!
- You wouldn't have computers.
- My baby!
- And nobody brushed their teeth.
- (yells loudly)
- Okay, maybe Trapp's right.
- Yeah, I think I'm just gonna stay in this decade.
- Whatever, I mean next thing you're gonna be saying
that I wasn't Cleopatra in a former life.
- You weren't.
- (grunts)
- She definitely wasn't.
- I was! (yells)
- I was Cleopatra in a past life, so.
- You know what age I really would've killed it?
The Heroic Age.
- Oh, you would've killed it.
- Right?
- Oh! - Hey!
