Who's on first?
Great comedians of the 1930's, 40's, and 50's ending with a favorite comedy routine about baseball
Peanuts
Peanuts was a beloved comic strip that ran in thousands of newspapers. Americans processed many of the cultural changes of the 60's through Peanuts: "jogging", an obsession with "cool", psychotherapy, idealism, cynicism, and commercialization. At the same time, many of the themes explored by the Peanuts gang were timeless and deeply personal: depression, unrequited love, identity, trust and belonging, for example. These are great subjects for starting and sustaining meaningful conversation. What did Peanuts mean to you then? What about now?

Yogi enjoyed an extraordinarily long career first as a player and then as a coach. He remained a cultural icon long after he retired at least in part because of his famous sayings.
