Listen, it's the virtual. I can have you explain what the birch shows adult back to school is. Well, we basically deem today adult back to school day because we don't want kids to have all the fun. They get to go back to school shopping for new clothes and new school supplies and backpacks and lunch boxes and it just seemed like so much fun. So we were talking about it in one of our meetings the other week and we all got very excited about back to school and how much fun it used to be and how the new pencils smelled and how it was cool to take the new notebooks out and and all of our favorite things from that back in the day. So we decided today would be back to school day for adults and that we would beat the kids to the bunch. We're going to take pictures of these outfits and stuff and when he did hers earlier and it looks great and now it's Melissa's turn. So yesterday hold on to my back peg off. Oh, that's your back peg. Yes, but it has a little strap in the front so it doesn't fall off the little girl. So anyway, so I went to target yesterday. It's my little team. Oh, there you go. Now I got you. So I decided when I was walking through I was going to know I was going to do high school back to school, but then I noticed there's so many things that are

still for sale today that were for sale when I was in elementary school. OK, so this is my display of the things that were still on sale back in the 70s that are on sale at 2010. Tinkerbell, yes. Of course we had tinkerbell. So I have my tinkerbell back. I think it's top notch to sparkly and then I have my strawberry shortcake because I always have to have a new toy to take to school too. So I'm a little strawberry shortcake which again, was so good in 1977. All right, let's see. I've got my Hello Kitty notebook. She does. Everybody. Hello Kitty. Yes, back in the 70s. The enthusiasm Melissa has for this is like I don't know that just go shopping. I just agree with you. I felt the same way as her. I saw Wendy's eyes today. So I was really excited about that. My back back too. It was really fun. My spiral notebook. I had to get something rainbow, but this is very 70s looking. Says love with the rainbow on it. And then two more things here in my little pouch. Couple more things in my pouch. When I was in elementary school, they sold triangular crayons. Do you remember these? Yes.

So they don't roll off the desk. Oh, yeah. So, triangle crayons. Yes. Very fun. What are you going to color? I don't know. I didn't get a coloring. Mommy wouldn't let me get a coloring book. Then I got my first pencils, the big fat, fat pencils. Did you go to school all the way? I'm telling you because it was. Everything is still on sale. That was on sale when I was a kid. Then I got my Mickey Mouse stickers. I got my care bear stickers because stickers are very important. They're huge when I was little. Finally, I got my Sesame Street t-shirt. I've got my Sesame Street one. Very nice. It's a cute. It's all the characters and it says that all my homies are from the street. So there you go. So those are my back to school stuff. I did the elementary school thing. All of our pictures of our back to school, our adult back to school clothes and all the new accessories that we got are going to be up online later on today at theBert Show.com. You did a good job there at Chicago. Thanks for having us. I'll pictures. Oh, I'm sorry, guys. Hold on. I got one more. My lunchbox. Oh, the tariff bag. My lunchbox. My lunchbox.

And that also from the 70s. I think your lunchbox really did put you in a click very early in life. Like, yes, I do. Yes, I do. It was very important. It was very, very important like the guys that were coming with the Star Wars lunchbox and stuff. There was your immediately have like a group acceptance. See, I couldn't get away with that as a kid because Star Wars is all what the boys got. I got something like, I don't know what I had. Had my little pile. Yeah, just strawberry shortcake. Strawberry shortcake. Rainbow bright. Rainbow bright. Something like that. But now that I have the freedom of milling pizza around, I got me a Darth Vader. I used to get the lunchboxes and they had like the two silver clips on it and inevitably like three weeks into the school year. One of the clips would bust off. So you'd have to brown bag at the rest of the year. It was fun shopping like that though. Yeah. I always school supplies that I'll never use. I always get that. I always get that. This is The Virtua.
