Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to I Choose Me with Jenny Girl.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Welcome back to I Choose Me. Okay, Danielle, we have
had a really truly beautiful conversation about reinvention and choosing
ourselves and saying no. But we both grew up in
the nineties onto of the you know, arguably biggest shows
on TV. So we cannot really go and not talk
(00:29):
about the nineties, right, We got to give it some love.
So we both agree that now that we've rewatched our shows,
we love them. Yes, we have a new appreciation and
we love all of our great memories. So nine O
two one zero and Boy Meets World, okay, great, best
relationship on the show from your show.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Man.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
That's tough because everyone's gonna say Corian Tapanga because people
think of orient to Panga as being the quintessential relationship
of the show.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
But then there's also Sean and Angela, who had an off.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
And on relationship but also very beautiful and they deeply
loved each other and cared about each other.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
And then there's Corey and Sean.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Who had like the friendship to just be the pinnacle
of male friendships.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
And then there's Amy and Allen the parents on the
show Who.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Those first five seasons had some of the best marriage
content for adult actors on a sitcom I've ever seen.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
I'm gonna you want me to guess what I think.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
People thought or people said, Is that right?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
My opinion?
Speaker 1 (01:35):
I think what your opinion is, Okay.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
My opinion is that Amy and Allan have the is
the best couple. The parents they had those first several
seasons where you really get to see them talk it out.
It's the first time I've ever seen on TV parents saying,
we don't know what we're doing, but we have to
(01:58):
make a decision about this. What do we do now?
This is the And it's like, as a kid, You're like,
parents don't.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Know what they're doing.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
What do you mean you think all adults just know
how to do everything, that there's some rule book and
like they just know. Then you realize you get to
be a parent yourself, and you go, oh, none of.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Us have any idea.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
We have to make it up as we go along
based on our upbringing, our thoughts, our hands. And now
you're in a relationship, like what you want to do too?
I have to take that into consideration.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
You are killing me. I love that.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I love that giving the parents on the show credit
because they often just get overlooked.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
You exactly, No, not these parents, no about you.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
What was on our show?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
On our show, I think the parents definitely got overlooked,
they got underwritten. But there were so many teens to
you know, storylines the surface, so I would have to say, oh,
my gosh, best relationship, I don't know, I just don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
I think all of the relationship were.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Tested time again influential on your character.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Which relationship do you think impacted your character the most?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I think her relationship with Dylan, Yeah, because he really
saw her in a different way than other guys had
ever seen her, and he made her feel like.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah, maybe you are a little damaged.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
But it's okay because we're all a little damaged, and
so it made her less shameful of her history.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Yeah, yeah, I think that it all.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
What is a lesson learned from that time from that show?
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Well, everyone knows the famous quote that ends the show,
which is dream try and do good and one of
the which is definitely what you could say overall, one
of the lessons of Boy Meets World is is this
you know that's a longstanding belief that we can all
(04:14):
go out in the world and believe, you know, dream,
try and do good. But one of my favorite moments
is when they talk about that you don't have to
be blood to be family, which is a really important
theme on Boy Meets World because Sean Ryder Strong's character
doesn't have a stable family life, and he takes Corey's
(04:36):
family on is kind of like his surrogate family, and
Corey is the closest thing he has to a brother,
even though he has real brothers. And so that idea
that your family is only the people that share your
that share.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Blood with you.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Picking chosen family is something that's important in my life
as well. And so I would say a lesson learned
is that you know, especially as you get older, you
are in control of the people you spend your time with.
Outside of work, you don't get to choose all your coworkers,
but in your personal life, who you give your time,
(05:18):
energy and attention to is entirely up to you, and
you shouldn't in any way be forced to spend that time, effort,
and energy on someone who is not your chosen family.
And so you know you can choose your blood family,
and you can choose people that aren't blood family.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
I love that lesson.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, that's great. I think that's important. I mean it's hard.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Yeah, relationships can be difficult, and it can be hard
to disappoint people when you're not it's not a reciprocal
feeling or you know, those kinds of things I would
have to say from nine or two and zero, I
think that the thing that comes to my mind is
these characters were growing up and making mistakes along the
(06:08):
way and even into young adulthood, as they should be,
like making mistakes and learning from their mistakes, and I
think that it taught especially. I mean it's kind of
comedic as the amount of things they put my character
through Kelly, but it's kind of interesting that she survived
at all, Like she always rose from the ashes, and
(06:31):
that kind of instilled in me the knowledge that I
could always survive anything, even you know, there were moments
when I didn't really remember that. But when you know
the pedal gets to the metal, you know that you
can handle anything. And I think I learned a lot
about that from Kelly Taylor.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
That is so that's very smart.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
That's very inspiring too, because like I, Dapanga didn't really
I mean, I think the biggest ship Topanga went through
was one when Corey cheated on her and lied to
her and then they show oh yes, of course, I
don't know, it's so sad, but and then when her
(07:16):
parents got divorced. But otherwise Tapega always kind of like
had it together. But the Sean character was the one that, like,
no matter what life threw at him, he was always
gonna come out on top, even if you know, he,
like you said, forgot sometimes along the way. What he
was capable of in the end he would always be
(07:37):
reminded was because.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Both shows, I feel like, empowered a lot of people,
a lot of That's why the fans are so loyal.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Yeah, and they stuck with They have stuck with.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Both you and me through you know, the entirety of
our careers thus far.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
They're just so supportive because they really connected with our characters.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Okay, next round, this is called who Wore It? I'm
going to name a nineties fashion trend and you just
say if you wore it? And I think this is
going to be fun to talk about. Okay, So chokers,
you know, the stretchy tattoo chokers.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Oh, yeah, hello, I mean absolutely, Tapega definitely wore that.
But I also feel like that's got to be a
Kelly thing.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
I think it was at every One again, another rite
of passage just.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
To be in the nineties.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Topanga's was very The one specifically that I remember for
Tepega is very famous because it's from the Donut in
the Sky dance that I do. I do. I did
an interpretive dance that I got to choreograph on my own.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
And I have a big blue flower choker necklace on.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I'm wearing like a white lace dress and I have
a blue flower.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Oh, a statement choker, A statement choker, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Level.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
I also had bangs and I have I have a
two head and I have no neck.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
So the fact that anyone was like, like, you.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Know, what we should do is put big round brush
bangs on that tiny forehead and then see how short
her neck is.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I think we should accentuate it.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
By putting one's eyes to that's right there. Your neck
is beautiful.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Okay? Overalls.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Oh, and you get a bonus if you you wore
them with like one side down. You know, I don't not, Yeah,
like when you don't clasp both thingies.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Oh I love that.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I do love that look.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
I feel like I've seen you in a picture like
that with your get with them rolled up.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Are they pegged too?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Probably? I am such a fan of the peg.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Oh yes, it's so cute on it. I can picture it. Think.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
I think you may even have a choker on in
that picture.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I've got all the things I still love, like when
it's like gardening day to just throw on a ginormous.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Pair of overalls.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Oh yeah, that you can just get in the dirt
in and not have to worry about it.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
An I'm not worrying about it. I know I do,
and I do love overalls. But Pega did not wear
with them.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
No, I mean I love overall so much. I made
some for my for me by Jenny Garth. I was like,
I have to do overalls because.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
I have to.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I just love them.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
I love that you called it gardening day, attire. I
love that. I need to.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
I need to come over and learn from you for
gardening because I have the I have whatever the opposite
of a green thumb is.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Oh gosh, I don't know if I'm the person to
help you. I I'm pretty good with house plants. I'm
just starting my garden, so.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I'll have to like, that's TBD if I'm putting.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Pattern, all right, let me know. Okay, we did the
scrunchies for sure. Oh I still do the scrunchies.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Do you like a satin scrunchy or a velvet scrunchy
and you got the hair scrunchy like you need a
little grunchy.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
I think it's I think there. I think they don't
leave as many dents. I know, the satin ones you'd
think also don't leave dents.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
But there's something.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
About the way the the elastic inside the satin I
feel like just touches your hair more like the.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Satin is thinner than the velvet. I don't know. I
feel it gives a buffer.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
You know what I got this one? This is a
big scrunchy that dries your hair.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Have you seen that?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
No, it's like hairy cloth and it's pretty big, but
you put it on your on your hair and it
dries your hair like more than you know a normals
crunchy would.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Wow. I do like that.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
That's that's nice because I like occasionally like to let
my hair air dry, and it takes so dang.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Long I need I just sort of hell, I know
I'm over the blowout. I have been going all a natural.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
And does this look all a natural around?
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Yeah? This is I use today for you, hair queen.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I gave myself a little round brushy not like the
thing that has the air that comes through it, but
it's also a round brush.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I have one that goes low temp from my friend
ch as Deine, and it's I did that today just
for you.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Wow, your hair's gorgeous.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
I mean if my hair looked like this without me
putting in any work to it, I would also never.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Are you doing curly hair naturally? Or what's happening without
a body hair?
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Frizzy hair naturally? So I can it can go either way.
If I blow it out, it looks great. If I
let it.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
If I make it more curly, it can look great.
But it requires just as much effort as a blowout does.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
It's like, now I've got to put this product in. Now,
I'm gotta use this. Now I'm gonna wrap it around
my finger.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
And I said this to my husband last night. I
got into bed and I was like, I'm so tired
of the upkeep.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Like that all that we have to do to keep
ourselves together, Like the doctor's appointments, let's start with that.
You gotta really be on top of that and be proactive.
Then it's just like okay, the skincare, the dental care,
the dental hygiene, the eye care. Yes, it's all like
not just your face skin, your body skin. Then there's
(12:50):
the like fighting of the gravity.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Yes, and sunscreen. Do I have to go to our sunscreen?
We kind of sunscreen? Is this my face sunscreen? Or
do I have to wear body sunscreen?
Speaker 3 (13:00):
It's all just so much. And what are we shaving?
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Do we laser? I don't know. There's a German planing.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Now I gotta shave my face.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
It's like, what what are we talking about? That was
the one good that was the one thing we had
on men, is that hey, I don't have to shave
my face.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
And now I'm like, oh, it's been a week since
I Germa plane. What are we doing?
Speaker 4 (13:20):

Speaker 1 (13:21):

only gets harder.

Speaker 4 (13:25):
My mom is My mom is only twenty three years
older than me, and she she is just she she
never hesitates to tell me about how much worse it gets.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
I don't want to get me.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
I'm going to tell you it gets way better in
so many ways. It kind of outweighs the worst. But
just keep this hard. I mean, this is crazy. Okay,
this is the last one, this or that nineties edition.
I'm going to say two things, and you pick your
favorite and tell me why.
Speaker 1 (13:51):

giant CD player.

I think, but they made a big titdo about you. Look,
we're giving you this free AOL. And I was so
soaked to get something for free that I never wanted.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
To get rid of it. So I still have it.

company for the podcast, we called it Middle Part Productions.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
That's so funny. Yeah, you know what.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
I will never give up the side part though, even
though my character I think had every hairstyle there ever.

I think her relationship with Dylan, Yeah, because he really
saw her in a different way than other guys had
ever seen her, and he made her feel like.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah, maybe you are a little damaged.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
But it's okay because we're all a little damaged, and
so it made her less shameful of her history.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Yeah, yeah, I think that it all.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
What is a lesson learned from that time from that show?
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Well, everyone knows the famous quote that ends the show,
which is dream try and do good and one of
the which is definitely what you could say overall, one
of the lessons of Boy Meets World is is this
you know that's a longstanding belief that we can all
(04:14):
go out in the world and believe, you know, dream,
try and do good. But one of my favorite moments
is when they talk about that you don't have to
be blood to be family, which is a really important
theme on Boy Meets World because Sean Ryder Strong's character
doesn't have a stable family life, and he takes Corey's
(04:36):
family on is kind of like his surrogate family, and
Corey is the closest thing he has to a brother,
even though he has real brothers. And so that idea
that your family is only the people that share your
that share.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Blood with you.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Picking chosen family is something that's important in my life
as well. And so I would say a lesson learned
is that you know, especially as you get older, you
are in control of the people you spend your time with.
Outside of work, you don't get to choose all your coworkers,
but in your personal life, who you give your time,
(05:18):
energy and attention to is entirely up to you, and
you shouldn't in any way be forced to spend that time, effort,
and energy on someone who is not your chosen family.
And so you know you can choose your blood family,
and you can choose people that aren't blood family.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
I love that lesson.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, that's great. I think that's important. I mean it's hard.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Yeah, relationships can be difficult, and it can be hard
to disappoint people when you're not it's not a reciprocal
feeling or you know, those kinds of things I would
have to say from nine or two and zero, I
think that the thing that comes to my mind is
these characters were growing up and making mistakes along the
(06:08):
way and even into young adulthood, as they should be,
like making mistakes and learning from their mistakes, and I
think that it taught especially. I mean it's kind of
comedic as the amount of things they put my character
through Kelly, but it's kind of interesting that she survived
at all, Like she always rose from the ashes, and
(06:31):
that kind of instilled in me the knowledge that I
could always survive anything, even you know, there were moments
when I didn't really remember that. But when you know
the pedal gets to the metal, you know that you
can handle anything. And I think I learned a lot
about that from Kelly Taylor.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
That is so that's very smart.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
That's very inspiring too, because like I, Dapanga didn't really
I mean, I think the biggest ship Topanga went through
was one when Corey cheated on her and lied to
her and then they show oh yes, of course, I
don't know, it's so sad, but and then when her
(07:16):
parents got divorced. But otherwise Tapega always kind of like
had it together. But the Sean character was the one that, like,
no matter what life threw at him, he was always
gonna come out on top, even if you know, he,
like you said, forgot sometimes along the way. What he
was capable of in the end he would always be
(07:37):
reminded was because.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Both shows, I feel like, empowered a lot of people,
a lot of That's why the fans are so loyal.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Yeah, and they stuck with They have stuck with.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Both you and me through you know, the entirety of
our careers thus far.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
They're just so supportive because they really connected with our characters.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Okay, next round, this is called who Wore It? I'm
going to name a nineties fashion trend and you just
say if you wore it? And I think this is
going to be fun to talk about. Okay, So chokers,
you know, the stretchy tattoo chokers.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Oh, yeah, hello, I mean absolutely, Tapega definitely wore that.
But I also feel like that's got to be a
Kelly thing.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
I think it was at every One again, another rite
of passage just.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
To be in the nineties.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Topanga's was very The one specifically that I remember for
Tepega is very famous because it's from the Donut in
the Sky dance that I do. I do. I did
an interpretive dance that I got to choreograph on my own.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
And I have a big blue flower choker necklace on.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I'm wearing like a white lace dress and I have
a blue flower.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Oh, a statement choker, A statement choker, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Level.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
I also had bangs and I have I have a
two head and I have no neck.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
So the fact that anyone was like, like, you.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Know, what we should do is put big round brush
bangs on that tiny forehead and then see how short
her neck is.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I think we should accentuate it.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
By putting one's eyes to that's right there. Your neck
is beautiful.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Okay? Overalls.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Oh, and you get a bonus if you you wore
them with like one side down. You know, I don't not, Yeah,
like when you don't clasp both thingies.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Oh I love that.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I do love that look.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
I feel like I've seen you in a picture like
that with your get with them rolled up.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Are they pegged too?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Probably? I am such a fan of the peg.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Oh yes, it's so cute on it. I can picture it. Think.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
I think you may even have a choker on in
that picture.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I've got all the things I still love, like when
it's like gardening day to just throw on a ginormous.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Pair of overalls.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Oh yeah, that you can just get in the dirt
in and not have to worry about it.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
An I'm not worrying about it. I know I do,
and I do love overalls. But Pega did not wear
with them.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
No, I mean I love overall so much. I made
some for my for me by Jenny Garth. I was like,
I have to do overalls because.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
I have to.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I just love them.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
I love that you called it gardening day, attire. I
love that. I need to.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
I need to come over and learn from you for
gardening because I have the I have whatever the opposite
of a green thumb is.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Oh gosh, I don't know if I'm the person to
help you. I I'm pretty good with house plants. I'm
just starting my garden, so.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I'll have to like, that's TBD if I'm putting.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Pattern, all right, let me know. Okay, we did the
scrunchies for sure. Oh I still do the scrunchies.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Do you like a satin scrunchy or a velvet scrunchy
and you got the hair scrunchy like you need a
little grunchy.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
I think it's I think there. I think they don't
leave as many dents. I know, the satin ones you'd
think also don't leave dents.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
But there's something.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
About the way the the elastic inside the satin I
feel like just touches your hair more like the.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Satin is thinner than the velvet. I don't know. I
feel it gives a buffer.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
You know what I got this one? This is a
big scrunchy that dries your hair.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Have you seen that?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
No, it's like hairy cloth and it's pretty big, but
you put it on your on your hair and it
dries your hair like more than you know a normals
crunchy would.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Wow. I do like that.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
That's that's nice because I like occasionally like to let
my hair air dry, and it takes so dang.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Long I need I just sort of hell, I know
I'm over the blowout. I have been going all a natural.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
And does this look all a natural around?
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Yeah? This is I use today for you, hair queen.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I gave myself a little round brushy not like the
thing that has the air that comes through it, but
it's also a round brush.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I have one that goes low temp from my friend
ch as Deine, and it's I did that today just
for you.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Wow, your hair's gorgeous.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
I mean if my hair looked like this without me
putting in any work to it, I would also never.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Are you doing curly hair naturally? Or what's happening without
a body hair?
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Frizzy hair naturally? So I can it can go either way.
If I blow it out, it looks great. If I
let it.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
If I make it more curly, it can look great.
But it requires just as much effort as a blowout does.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
It's like, now I've got to put this product in. Now,
I'm gotta use this. Now I'm gonna wrap it around
my finger.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
And I said this to my husband last night. I
got into bed and I was like, I'm so tired
of the upkeep.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Like that all that we have to do to keep
ourselves together, Like the doctor's appointments, let's start with that.
You gotta really be on top of that and be proactive.
Then it's just like okay, the skincare, the dental care,
the dental hygiene, the eye care. Yes, it's all like
not just your face skin, your body skin. Then there's
(12:50):
the like fighting of the gravity.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Yes, and sunscreen. Do I have to go to our sunscreen?
We kind of sunscreen? Is this my face sunscreen? Or
do I have to wear body sunscreen?
Speaker 3 (13:00):
It's all just so much. And what are we shaving?
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Do we laser? I don't know. There's a German planing.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Now I gotta shave my face.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
It's like, what what are we talking about? That was
the one good that was the one thing we had
on men, is that hey, I don't have to shave
my face.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
And now I'm like, oh, it's been a week since
I Germa plane. What are we doing?
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (13:20):
My god?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
And you know what, I'm older than you, and it
only gets harder.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
I know, I know.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
My mom is My mom is only twenty three years
older than me, and she she is just she she
never hesitates to tell me about how much worse it gets.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
I don't want to get me.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
I'm going to tell you it gets way better in
so many ways. It kind of outweighs the worst. But
just keep this hard. I mean, this is crazy. Okay,
this is the last one, this or that nineties edition.
I'm going to say two things, and you pick your
favorite and tell me why.
Speaker 1 (13:51):

of the most talented, beautiful, fun to watch people ever.
And then you know, I'll Fonso that's my boy, and
uh and he's such an iconic character. So I would

Fresh Prints. I liked the just like the vibe of
it and also just energy in it.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
Okay, AOL instant messenger or landline phone back.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Then, back then lamb line phone.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
I would spend hours, not just talking to boys, not
just talking to boys. I liked which I definitely did.
But also just catching up with friends. You spend all
day with them at school and then you get home,
you do your homework. Can you immediately pick up the
phone and call your friend?
Speaker 1 (15:03):

Uh?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Huh?

lay out on my bed and I go on to
the other side, go to my five disc CD player
that was like this big.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
You know.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Now it's like we can listen to music anywhere on
our phones, but now I used to have a giant,
giant CD player.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Oh my gosh, I still have my AOL. Do you account?
Speaker 2 (15:32):
I remember they gave it to us. It was free,
I think, but they made a big titdo about you. Look,
we're giving you this free AOL. And I was so
soaked to get something for free that I never wanted.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
To get rid of it. So I still have it.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
I don't use it as my primary anymore because people
literally just laugh when I say my address. So yeah,
but I love that AOL.
Speaker 4 (15:56):

Take it.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
I'm gonna say the Topanga, Okay, I love that.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Also, we were so into middle parts, like the all
the boys of that generation had that middle part haircut,

sloppy Yes, the floppy middle just gorgeous. Luke Perry had
that too, right in the middle or was it a

Well.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
We liked middle middle part haircuts so much that we
me Writer and Will when we started a little production
company for the podcast, we called it Middle Part Productions.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
That's so funny. Yeah, you know what.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
I will never give up the side part though, even
though my character I think had every hairstyle there ever.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Was, But I think I still love the side part.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
And every time I do it, my daughter is like, no, Yeah,
I'm like what why?

But how lucky are we too having lived through that
and be still here doing what we love to.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Do and does not have too much photographic evidence of it,
you know, like at least video evidence of it. It
was before were the days of paparazzi and before the
days of Instagram, so we could just be young idiots
with money in somewhat, you know, with privacy.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
So it really was the good old days.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
It was.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
It was well.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
