PLUS: Kasey’s roommate and confidante, Doug “I ate your Jane Fonda workout tape and replaced it with Sweatin’ To The Oldies” Mcfly, can’t decide what to wear on his date so Kasey and Siri’s caustic cousin, Miri attempt to help Douglas dress for success only to discover that his wardrobe consists mostly of 80’s relics like a polo shirt with an alligator on it and a Cosby sweater. The motley crew attempts to answer burning questions such as, does Doug look like Tom Selleck? Vaurnet or Raybans? To Swatch or not to Swatch? Is Doug’s date with Ms. Pac Man?

He’ll dole out some stupendous Seventies facts from the average price of everything from a loaf of bread to a gallon of gas and Kasey’s Sleestak looking roommate, Doug “I have the eyes of Mr. Furley and the body of Fat Albert” Mcfly drinks Pop Rocks and a Coke while wearing a leisure suit.
