Balki Bartokomous is no longer a perfect stranger | Queen's B | 80s water parks tried to kill us

Balki Bartokomous is on everyone’s podcast — so why isn’t he on ours?

Maybe it’s because we know nothing about Fred Savage and the brother from his mother.

We marvel at an ’80s star’s chameleon-like ability to blend in — but by George, give us a Time and we’ll figure out who that boy is.

Dori takes us to Action Park — and even though we never went there in the ’80s, every Gen Xer went to a water park that tried to kill them and trap their mullets in the pool inlet valves.

Finally we wonder: why would a time-travelling teenager try a Tab?
