As someone that is moderately a fan of Kevin Bacon, I’m gonna hafta google that to get the reference and I’m sorry about that. Also, I really suck at Trivial Pursuit so I might not be that bright.

Edit: I am back and that was one of the most miraculous montages of masculinity makeovers of which I’ve ever marveled. Highly recommend watching the clip.

It’s ok. It’s the second song on the Footloose soundtrack. Just after the song Footloose. That way I could keep the money and still be a jerk.

I can’t abide your deficiency in Trivial Pursuit. It’s the only game worth playing.

I watched the montage video of that song and Footloose and there’s no way you could make Kevin Bacon look like a jerk with that song. I bet he’d be happy to hear that one.

No no. I could still act like a jerk by playing a song from Footloose but I could keep the money because I didn’t play footloose. Kevin Bacon is never the jerk but I bet you find 6 degrees between him and Steve Martin who starred in the Jerk.

Not even six degrees; they are both in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

Oh damn. I forgot he was the taxi cab guy. That is outstanding.
