Pick our next SIT80s podcast topic

Valleygirl Are you ready to do a great service to Stuck in the '80s and to Spearsy in general? Here's the deal. Next weekend, the Vegas Girlfriend makes her first-ever visit to the Tampa Bay area and the infamous Spears Lair  (remarkably similar to this scene in Joe's Apartment, but without the fancy NYC location).

There will be much frivolity, but she and I also wanted to record a podcast while she's in town. The big question: What should we talk about? ("So, umm, it's warmer here in Florida, isn't it? Umm, how's your soda?")

To be honest, we're not finding a lot of common ground. She wants to talk about Married With Children (not only did I not watch the show, but those three words strike terror into my heart). I mentioned talking about The Sure Thing ("Nick's your friend, Nick's your bud. The kind of guy who doesn't mind if you puke in his car. Nick..."). But the Vegas Girlfriend was scarred in her youth by a cross-country car trip and reliving the experience on a podcast isn't likely going to set the right tone for our first meeting since the Regeneration Tour concert weekend.

So we appeal to you: Suggest a podcast topic for us. We'd even be happy to do a call-in show ("Ask the VGF!") We'd likely record it Saturday or Sunday. You can pretty much assume Sean Daly will sit this one out: He usually reserves weekends for his Fantasy Lumberjack Camp expeditions.
