Wall Street, or Zack Morris vs. The Stock Market (Deep Dive)

Описание: Potatoes, power, and prestige! Today, we’re breaking down one of the roughest (and weirdest) episodes of Good Morning, Miss Bliss: "Wall Street." Long before he was at Bayside, Zack Morris was trying to solve a $300 problem by manipulating the potato futures market from a desktop computer in Indiana.

In this deep dive, we analyze the impossible 1988 technology that allowed a junior high class to "live-trade" stocks, the geographical errors regarding the stock market's opening hours, and the surprising depth given to background characters like Milo. We also profile the career of Max Battimo (Mikey) and find out how he went from being "Slater-lite" to becoming a professional hockey referee.

In this Deep Dive:

The Stock Market Logic: How a 1980s junior high school somehow had real-time access to a brokerage account [00:52].

Technical & Geographical Gaffes: Spotting the 6 AM break-in error and the "fake eating" background actors [03:00].

Max Battimo Spotlight: A look at the life of Max Battimo after he left Hollywood for the world of pro hockey [08:48].

The Potato Fiasco: Why this episode ends with Miss Bliss owning 3,000 pounds of potatoes and absolutely no closure [07:04].
