- (FBE) So today, we're gonna test how well you know
music from the 1990s. - Yay!
- Why do you do this to me?
- (chuckling) I'm gonna fail.
- I did this before, so hopefully I'll do better this time.
- If you said '80s, I would've killed it.
But '90s, um, little weak.
- (FBE) Are you ready?
- Can you really be ready for a whole kinda identity crisis
about the fact that you're not part of one generation;
you're part of another? It's kind of depressing to think about.
I guess I'm ready.
