Summary

Murray attempts to help Adam transition into adulthood by building a robot, but their creative differences drive them apart, the opposite of what Murray was trying to achieve.

Meanwhile, Barry makes a huge mistake when he accidentally tapes over Beverly's beloved video of his 5th birthday party.

October 7th 1980-something

Barry records his “Jampilation - Part 1..The Extrava-Jamza”  

Todd: I couldn’t even come close to dunking...could you?

Taras: Totally thought I could dunk one time trying to impress my first girlfriend and broke the backboard. It was totally NBA regulation height too.

Adam get’s Murray to get involved in a “Learning Based Project”

Did your parents get involved in your school projects?

Todd: Yes..My Mom “the English Teacher” usually did.  BUT I loved it!  She made my papers A+++’s!  She would type my papers out (cuz she was a fast typer).   

My Mom is super creative..So even in Elementary school, I had cool/different projects than my peers.

Taras: My Mom always helped. One time we spent hours constructing a replica of the empire state building. We tried to make it so accurate that we counted all the windows and tried to draw them in.  And yes I got an A.

Coach Beller helps Barry with his technological wisdom

Like figuring out how to hack a cassette tape!

Barry figures out how to fix the situation

Did you ever get caught in a big lie to your parents?

Taras: Well I'm not sure if I got caught in a lie but I think they may have known that I was hiding some facts about a couple late night activities that I was having in high school.  I am pretty sure they didn't really want to know.
