Chapter 1: What does the concept of the Enhanced Games entail?
Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal, but encouraged. It's the Enhanced Games. Some call it grotesque, others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth.

On the Look Back At It podcast.
1979, that was a big moment for me. 84 was big to me.
I'm Sam Jay. And I'm Alex English. Each episode, we pick a year, unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it. With our friends, fellow comedians, and favorite authors. Like Mark Lamont Hill on the 80s.
84 was a wild year. It was a wild year. I don't think there's a more important year for black people.

Chapter 3: What experiences do Black men share in this podcast?
A new survey found 73% of Americans are getting a tax refund this year. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. But are you going to use yours to improve your finances or just treat yourself? Treat yourself.
I'm going to treat myself.
Well, I have the results. 33% say they're going to drop the extra money into their savings account. That's smart. No, there's no way that many people are actually doing that. Maybe a high-yield savings account? That's only one-third of people, Jeff. A third of the country is going to put it in savings? Yeah, right. Oh, come on. 20% say they're going to use it to pay down their debt.
10% said they'll invest the money. And then here's the interesting part. 6% of Americans say they're going to use their tax refund to splurge and blow it all on a huge shopping spree. Oh, shopping.
Only six?
Well, 6% of the country is honest, it sounds like.
There you go.
The number one thing people want to buy, and there's no way anyone's guessing this in the room, it's nice headphones. Oh, yeah.
Nice pair of headphones.

Chapter 4: What are the cultural references discussed in the Star Wars segment?
And if you're wondering, the average tax refund is around $3,500. What? Wow, that's a lot. It's the average if you do them properly. I've been doing taxes wrong. Absolutely.
Seriously.
And if you're not sure how to spend your tax refund this year, go ahead and send it into the station and Alexis will gladly spend it for you. Yeah, I can make that happen.
Possibly.
She'll post like all the purses and cool outfits she's buying. Either that or on a brand new, even stronger shock collar for the shock collar question of the day. Because I know Jake thinks that we don't suffer nearly enough during this segment. What are we going to get an electric chair? Hopefully. Go ahead. Punish us, sir. Well, on this day in 2025, humanity peaked.
Not with a scientific breakthrough or a historic achievement. No, no, no. But with the invention of a phrase, 6-7. That's the peak of humanity. That's it. Two numbers. separated by a dash, delivered with the confidence of someone who just solved world peace. I can hear my daughter saying it now. Mom, that's over. Yeah. What does it mean? Nobody knows.
It was first referenced in a song by rapper Skrilla, and before you know it, kids were randomly shouting it in classrooms and carpool lanes across the country, annoying adults for miles around. That is so fun. And every time I hear the words, it triggers me. Like, I'm trying to get directions in Amsterdam, and they're like, oh, 666.
seven blocks that way and i'm like thank you sir but long before social media existed there were other number sequences that became world famous for different reasons and you'll have to name some of them during a special digit domination edition of Plenty of 20. We'll begin with the woman who 86ed herself out of her friend's house party after two Trulies and a whiskey sour. Dang. That's Alexis.
Alexis, say a number and I'll give you a hint. Okay, nine. All right. In the 90s, Brandon, Brenda, Kelly, and Dylan were constantly dealing with relationship chaos and problems way too serious for people still getting homework. All of it took place in one very famous zip code. What is it? Ah, now. I'm guessing we can't help in the room. I would prefer if you not.

Chapter 5: How do people plan to use their tax refunds this year?
What is that number? I know I can see it. It's like error 401 or is it error 411? But 411 means information. But then you get the little T-Rex dinosaur that you get to play with.
That's right.
And he runs and he jumps over things.
On Chrome. There's a T-Rex? Yes. Oh, cute.
It's a little error dinosaur. And then if you press the space bar, he does a little like hopper game that you can play until your internet comes back. Oh, that's cute. You've never played it? No, and I use Chrome. Oh, I get excited for an error just for the dinosaur. I just don't make any errors. I want to say it's error 401. 401? Close, but not there, Brooke. It's 4-0-4. 4-0-4. You did see it.
You did. The dinosaur betrayed you, like they did to us all. All right, Jose. 9 and 17 are off the board. The ladies have gone 0 for 2. Maybe you can get this one. Please give me a number. Let's go 5. This number was worn by a legend so iconic that Major League Baseball retired it across every team, which is basically the jersey version of no one else is allowed to try. That's right.
What number is it? In baseball? Well, 24 is Griffey's number, the greatest baseball player to ever play the game, and they haven't retired his number. Oh, but Griffey, now I get it. Griffey inspired the Jackie Robinson retirement. He was the one who brought it up to the commissioner, and now every year we celebrate Jackie Robinson's number 25. Air 404, that's not correct. 25. I'm sorry, Jose.
You nailed every part of that story except the number. The number, it was grandfathered in. Anyone who was wearing it could still keep wearing it, and Mariano Rivera wore it until he retired. 42 is the number. 42, I see it now. Now no one can wear 42. Which is also a great movie about Jackie Robinson. Yeah, that's also true. I knew everything but the number.
All right.

Chapter 6: What are the most popular items Americans want to purchase with their tax refunds?
So don't want that to happen. You want to get this right. 5, 9, and 17 have been chosen. 13. This number is the reason an entire generation probably called a random woman named Jenny at least once just to see what would happen. What is it? Like the karaoke king is going to miss this one. Yeah, this is a song. Yeah, me and Tommy Two-Tone go way back. Oh, wow.
And so I've actually had this song stuck in my head for like a week at a time. And now it's going to be stuck in my head again, all thanks to this question. 8-6-7-5-3-0-9. There you go, Jeffrey. You got this right. You made Mavis Bacon and her typing proud by winning today's. Plenty of 20. I still haven't looked up what that is. Yeah, no. Look it up. It's amazing.
But I win the numbers game, so I get to choose who gets shocked. They're going to be singing that Tommy Two-Tone song, 8-6-7-5-3-0-9. You want someone that knows it or someone who doesn't? I would prefer someone that knows it. So, Jose, will you please do the honors? 8-6-7-5-3-0-9. 8-6-7-5-3-0-9. You didn't know that part either. That is definitely not the tune. You chose me, Jeff.
That was brutal. That was your Shot Caller Question of the Day.
Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds.
