Joey, it's before my time, too, but I know that Fats Waller is a jazz musician.

My third son worked for Disney a few years ago. I found it interesting that employees weren't supposed to walk around the park in their uniforms/costumes when they were off duty - they were supposed to use tunnels to get to and from the locker rooms. He mentioned that the facial hair rule had been modified. But I wonder - does Disney not have restrictions on tattoos?

Here's an article about Joey's second episode.

I'm pretty sure you know who won the AL Triple Crown in 1967 even though it was before you were born. He was referring to the annoying habit of young contestants (on this show "young contestant" is redundant) to use the "before my time" excuse for things that a trivia buff would know anyway.

My chains were made for rattling, not yanking.
