Reminds me of the most points held by two brothers in the NHL: Brent and Wayne Gretzky.

“Together, Wayne and Brent hold the NHL record for most combined points by two brothers (2,857 for Wayne and 4 for Brent).” 🙂

The Public Access couple? Seriously? I wonder how many Dopers are going to know this ridiculously obscure reference. And of those, how many regret knowing it.

At least one.

Oh come on, you LOVE them. (Said with slightly groan-y voice)  
Sure, they’re a little rough around the edges, perhaps:p…I wish I could provide a youtube link but sadly I’m dealing with a phone that I’m too Luddite to deal with. (And also sucks for multi-quote posts, hence these multi-posts.)
