Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
And what if I lost both my hands.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Tomorrow you could be a seat model start I was
sixteen at the time or fifteen, and and then hook
it up with a witch and that was that.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Cats can smile.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
Apparently, whoa weird, But it doesn't always mean that they're happy.

Speaker 4 (00:24):
Yet.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Lucy receives a call from what I can only assume
is the future winner of every acting award ever. Yeah,
Jenny Moon is a star. Her looks looks weren't a
part of the issue. He's like, I had to sell
my last top hat for Jannis.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Maybe this is not appropriate either, but we'll see. Hello
nostalgia nerds, Welcome to notable nostalgia. I am Jeff, and
today we were gonna go down a trip down memory lane.
That's how that's the right scene. Who knows. And we're
gonna talk about fads, not the other word, but fads,

(01:02):
so things that when I think of fads, I think
of things that, you know, we're just a glimpse in
time or a small part of time that really shaped
like something that you and maybe wear to like a
nineties themed party or eighty theme party, something like a
fad of the time. I don't what do you think
of fads.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
I think it's something for a lot of people where
they think it's not gonna end because it's either so
big culturally or it's so important to them or something
along those lines. But then after you know, a year
or two or even sometimes a few weeks, it's gone
and nobody's ever heard of it again. Yeah, and doesn't
mean it's bad. It just means either got over popular
and just kind of ran its course, or sometimes people realize,

(01:40):
oh that was kind of dumb, what were we doing
with that? You know? But I mean fads I think
aren't just like clothing. I think it could be you know, songs, music, dances, toys.
I mean, fads are just about anything. People I feel
like can be fads too. People are like, remember that
hok to a girl? She was like really big for
a while, or.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
When I was late to the game just covering her,
and when I did, I instantly fell in love with her.
But my then, yeah, then I don't think about her
at all. Yeah, well, usually on Saturday nights, what's up Jeremy?
Somebody who's in that same genre, but she's not nearly
as famous as Hauktua girl. Is this mom and daughter
who went to some country concert and there was some

(02:20):
kind of issue with some other girls at the outhouses.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
I'll tell you the video.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
It's just like a bunch of women like beating the
shit out of each other.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Damn. I watched it so many times.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
Because like people joke about women fighting, it's like it's
slat fights or whatever.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
No, this was hardcore. Oh my god, damn. It was
Oh fad fads? Yeah, yeah, it was fun. Like looking
back at some of the fads, I was like, do
I really want to like for me? I wasn't sure
if I wanted to do stuff I was personally really
into that's no longer bigger, or if it was like
a cultural thing. So I I did kind of both.
I did things that I was into and things that

(02:56):
I thought, you know a lot of people were into.
What about you.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
I think I pretty much leaned into every fad at
some point or another.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
When you're picking your list, are these ones strictly for
you or are some of them cultural fads?

Speaker 4 (03:10):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Strictly for me? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (03:11):
Yeah, And I did kind of a mix of like
things that I might have worn mixed with some stuff
that I used to do. So yeah, I was a
little bit more me focused, I would say, but there
are so many fads, Like I know one of them.
I don't think it's gonna be either one of our lists.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
Overalls. No, but I did a search of nineties fads
and one of them was overalls, and I was like,
I never wore them, but I remember people wearing them,
and I've always hated him, except for when they're on dogs.
Dogs can rock overalls like nobody's business.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
Dogs can walk work anything pretty much, even like a
even like a white robe with the top. My one
of my employee coworkers, he does maintenance and he wears
overalls because he's like, you know, for work related. But
my sister, Jesse Uglesia editionanel you know the backstory with that,
she wore overalls like they were not going out style

(03:59):
ant him soon and it just blew my mind because
they're similar to like jumpsuits for women. So when I'm
if I need to go to the bathroom in public and
I need to take like a shado be.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
You're pretty much getting naked. You're just sitting there naked
in public. It's weird. Yeah, it's really weird. Is a
fad still a fad? If it comes back in style.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
Oh, I'm sure there's a term for that. Oh right,
Like I'm not sure what it would be, but to fad,
to dose, unfad, unfatted, daff, backwards.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Daff, pro faded. Yeah, because there's a lot of things
that like, uh, that are I noticed that are come
Like some ninety styles are coming back, like got early
two thousands, hairs coming back and stuff. And if you
would have asked five years ago, oh, that was a
weird fad that so many people dress like you know,
that email style. But that was kind of coming back,
So I wonder what that means, you know, like if
it does come back. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
The a recent fad, not for not too long ago
was the women that did the relief thick lip filler.
Oh yea, and now it's coming back like NonStop. I
saw somebody on the internet and she had her lips
were so big.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
They look like.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
No, no, no, I think I get I get the
appeal of it. I'm not going to make a joke.
I'm rising above that in twenty twenty five. I'm not
gonna make jokes that women's faces look like genitals. I'm
not gonna do it.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Yeah, twenty five feeling alive above ground.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
Yeah, no, I'm I'm ready. I'm I'm gonna turn over
a leaf. If you want to look like you are
hammered dog shit, then you go ahead do it.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
Yeah. If you want to look like a weird like
lizard or something.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
If you want to look like a pussy mouth, yeah,
and then when those lips like deflate or whatever, it's
gonna look like beef curtains.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
Yeah, but you get them filled up, it's like a
nice type vagina. And then if you don't go to
your like injection appointments or whatever, then yeah, I think
a lot that's you might need to edit this out
on it, but a lot of women who can't afford
lip injections, they just get mouthy with their husbands. Oh

(06:00):
So anyways, so Andy, I thought, m's your chat about
some of the wow that got off trash really quick?

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Okay, so Andy, what I don't.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
Know if you did particular order, but what's one of
your top fads?

Speaker 1 (06:10):
I started with my third favorite fad just because for
the most part, I never really got into fads. And
I think it's just because I've always been really into
rock and roll and I thought, like the style from
the seventies was cool where it's jeans. Like I'm not
talking about like the rock stars. I'm talking about the style.
I've always thought jeans and a band T shirt is
like the coolest looking thing you can wear, and I

(06:31):
still think it now. I think its some the seventies
or whatever. You know, But this is one fad I
didn't get into. But I was really freaking jealous, and
it was only I can really only remember this for
maybe four or five months. They're soap shoes, soap shoes,
soap soap. What do you want to say, Danny, What
do you want to say to all the sales reps

(06:51):
across the country for soap shoes. I don't really care
about those sales reps. They don't care about me. I'm
sure they're like I want to say that all those soapers.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
Like trying as crazy.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
They couldn't even try this as they sucked. That's why
I said, they're not doing anything for me? Are they
actually they are? What are they doing for me? They're
selling the shoes that you help design. That provides more
money for more design. All right, I guess they're pretty cool.
Keep on selling boys. So essentially what they were is

(07:30):
they were normal shoes, but they had a thick piece
of plastic in the middle on the bottom, so that
would allow you to grind on things with your shoes.
And I remember some kids had them, and I was like, God,
that seems like so much fun. But like all the
kids that I knew that had them, they weren't good
at them. So I was like, oh, if I had them,
I would I could grind down that you know, foes
stair or whatever. But the reason I like, I completely

(07:54):
understand why they didn't stick around, because yeah, it seems
like kind of like a fun idea. But then what
they used to do to try to sell it was
they would go to these they would go to skate
parks and do these demos like to show how cool
the shoes were. But it's just some guy just like
running and then like you'd like run and jump over
like a pyramid, and then like you would run, and
then all you could really do with them that you

(08:16):
couldn't do a normal shoes is go down a rail.
But if you just wax the rail, you could do it,
you know. But you can look up those demo tapes
on YouTube of like soap professionals and like someone like
run on a halfpipe and then like do a backflip
and then turn around and run again to the other wall.
And it was just really silly.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
Looking, like when I google the pictures and stuff, like
in the like listener, you can't see this because it's
the podcast, but like that looks badass.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
It looks really cool, but the.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
Setup and afterwards of that I can imagine would.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Be pretty pretty lame underwhelming. Yeah, for sure. So they
were originally invented in nineteen ninety six. The company was
sold for the first time in two thousand and one
due to legal troubles, and that's kind of right around
where I remember seeing people have them. But the company
that bought them, they were a wrestling attire company, and
then they went bankrupt in two thousand and three, and

(09:09):
I guess there was a tiny resurgence in two thousand
and six, but eventually the stock felled to less than
two dollars a stock and they basically just threw everything
out because it was like a waste of money. So
it was a really short thing from ninety six. I
don't remember hearing about it till about two thousand and
then it had its little bit of run from like
two thousand and two thousand and two and then basically
it's gone because like, if you're gonna wear soaps and

(09:31):
you want to grind out, just wear fucking rollerblades. What
are you doing?

Speaker 3 (09:35):
If they should have merged the soap shoes with Heelys, yes,
and Healees did buy them, oh, because I was like, Okay,
that's at least something.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
But to use a Helie you have to have your
toes off the ground and just your heels. It's you
can't really like just hop from your heels because the
way you have to keep your it's really difficult. So
it didn't work out for Heelies too. And I think
they're technically the ones that still own the soap name
right now.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
Who would buy that and not do like some research
on like the body first, I don't know, Like, yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Well they I get Another thing they did in early
two thousands was there's a Sonic video game where Sonic
had the special soap shoes. Yeah, but it didn't make
anything better.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
But I'm assuming like in my head this is just
based off like what I think of for movies and
TV when there's like these deals or like companies buying companies.
It usually takes place in like a board room, like
on the sixtieth floor of some skyscraper with like an
amazing view and like a secretary of big old like
Beanye tads. But yeah, oh yeah, yeah, I don't know

(10:42):
what the point of that was. Oh but this merger
or whatever this probably took took place like in a
Buymart garage, like a parking lot.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Or maybe like something somewhere like in like California. It's
really hot and they're like really thirsty, and they're like, eah, man,
that's fine. Just if you give me your soap shoes,
you can have you, yeah, or whatever.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
A lot of men wearing like turquoise jewelry.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
I would rock a pair of heels now, yeah, because
I mean think about it. You can just walk a
little bit and then glide to the like who would
have wanted. Yeah, there's that video.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
This is why I love the Internet. I thought Internet
was gonna go away for like was done.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
That is the biggest fat so far the Internet.

Speaker 3 (11:16):
But there's this video of this guy that I don't
know if we could play the like here part of it,
but he's talking about going hooking up with this woman
and she like flips him over and then she like
eats his asshole out. It's like the day after like Thanksgiving,
so he wasn't prepared to have his buttle eating.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
And it does. It does it does? It does?

Speaker 3 (11:43):
Anyways, it might not okay. So he's just like he's
been that's what he's been interviewed on the street. And
he's like talking about like a wild time he had
and it was day with Thanksgiving, hooked up with this girl.
She ate him out and then he's like as a
wildsest thing I've ever had. And this guy, this guy
had like a mullet and like a like a feather earring,
which is very interesting, fellow. And at the end of

(12:04):
his little monologue about this, he just heales.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Away, yeah exactly, and that just automatically brings him to
a higher tier than if you didn't have healies.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
I'm gonna find this video for you because that might
be the monologue that you used.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
Just share that play. Yeah, but I have to get healies.
So I just saw a play recently, a high school
play is a little Mermaid. I'm not it's yeah, no,
it was fine, but a lot of the people that
were fish, they would they used heelies, and like one
or two of the girls were like really good and
it seems really fluid. Some of them they're like take
a few steps and then go and you can tell

(12:37):
this fine, But I mean, I guess for that purpose.
So it's a great invention.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
Did you heckle them?

Speaker 1 (12:43):
Yes? Yeah, they asked me to times, but I'm like,
you're a little high schooler.

Speaker 3 (12:47):
Yeah. Rama, yeah, the stage hand people, the stage hand
drama nerds.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
They ought some muscle. Yeah, they got hammer. Yeah. A
lot of the a lot of the girls.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
Are named Sam so so Andy my uh my number
three or whatever fad is. I did kind of a
two four two two for two. I'm not gonna say
a two for one. There we are, speech amitament.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
Puka shells and those ball necklaces.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
I forgot about the ball ones. I was looking at
puka shells.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
Yeah, are you gonna get into pook shells?

Speaker 1 (13:37):
No, but I think I text you. I was thinking
about highlighting my hair with bleach bleach highlights, and and
then I could rock all.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
You can dress up as Jeff from middle school, and
I could dress up as Andy. Yeah all together, Yeah, dude,
for sure, just for like, yeah, I don't think they
have Roso doll costumes from now and then.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
Uh ros, don get confused me a lot? Are you
any proma assaultier for the last time though, if.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
Your hair goes gray, because she's kind of rocking like
a similar haircut.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
To you, oh for sure. If I look like a.

Speaker 3 (14:20):
Boche lesbian, that's a compliment. Okay, Yeah, So I went
through both. I think I flip flopped a little bit
between these two genres. So Puka Shells I think was
more like sixth seventh grade when that brand, I think
it was op like that clothing brand. It had like
flowers on the Hawaiian flowers on it that was really big,
and like the shorts with the get go with the sunglasses.

(14:43):
So I was kind of doing that vibe bleached. My
hair just really leaned into this beach like we live
in Oregon, We're not living in Hawaii, California or Florida
or whatever. And then I would flip flop into the
ball necklaces. I think if my sister, like, you know,
she just in or like punk or whatever, and I
was not punk at all. I was listening to Slandy

(15:04):
on you know whatever.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
But I wanted to be cool.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
So but that metal that they used for those bald necklaces,
I was like allergic to. So I would get these
rashes on my neck. But the issue that I ran
into like I never thought to like put like you know,
maybe not wear them or whatever. But the rashes were
there on my neck. But if I took off the necklace,
people would see the rashes. If I kept the necklace on,

(15:29):
it would cover up the rashes.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
But we're just creating more rash. It was a mess.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
Yeah. So so definitely Puka shows were more you know,
family friendly for me. But but the ball necklaces were
a vibe to you because with the ball necklaces, I
would sit in front of I think this was an
eighth grade. We went to different schools at this point.
But I would just put like a fuck ton of
gel in my hair and then I would twist, yeah,
twist a bunch of spikes. I was like, like, my

(15:57):
voice now is like super fucking gay, but my voice,
make sure this voice.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
But like pure pre puberty.

Speaker 3 (16:04):
It was a fucking nightmare. It was a fucking nightmare.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
I remember I was in Hawaii one time and I
and I always wanted to rock a pukahell necklace because
it was like fad, you know, look everybody like I
wanted to look cool, right yeah, but I was already
kind of like either like in my jeans and like
band T shirt or my skater you know what I mean,
So it never really would have worked. But I went
to Hawaii one time. I like, ha ha, I got
from Hawaii, so I can tell people I got from

(16:27):
But it didn't fit. So it was like a choker.
It was like a choke things. I never wore it.
But you were always pretty cool, right yeah, I think so.
I mean, I mean I guess that that's what cool
people say. I just I don't know. I just always uh,
you know, just I'm just chill guy.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
Yeah, Like I was always trying to maybe there's like
a deep psychological thing like with like being a homo
sex like I hate that playing that card, but being
a homosexual and like being like one of the only
ones that was out back then because I like the
loked up ones.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
And we all know you we know who they are.

Speaker 3 (17:05):
So I think I was just trying to find a
genre to like fit into. And then as soon as
I met Kayleen, and I was like Okay, we'll just
be like the fat gay one in the in the
you know, artsy girl. But then mean girls came out,
and then it's.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
Like, ohs NonStop.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
They were always like every day when mean girls came out,
they were like have you seen mean girls?

Speaker 1 (17:28):
Every person did for sure.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
Yeah, but yeah yeah, the uh, light skinned black hair
girl and the fat, loud gay guy. Yeah, we get this,
we get this. Well, they're they're still like, what's her
name is? Lizzie Chaplin is her name? She looks good
right now, Like have you seen her? Have you seen
the interview with Joe seth Rogen and what's his face?

Speaker 1 (17:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (17:54):
No, she she did like a remake of Fatal Attraction
where she played the Glenn Close character. Yeah she's fucking hot.
Yeah yeah, her face, but definitely her body is cool.
This is for this, like listener, if you're LGBT or
you know, liberal whatever. This is for the cis straight
man who's listening one or two of you. That's why
we throw in the like objectifying women thing or like

(18:16):
the spouse will be you know, that's for you. Yeah,
I think I would rock now. I think I could,
for the right event, do a Puka shell. But I
don't think I would ever revisit the ball necklaces. They
look too much like antal beads.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Oh, I could see that for sure. Yeah, I do think.
Watch I'm telling you, in the next couple of years,
it's gonna be Khaki's Khaki shorts with the polo and
puka shells are coming back, and I think it's a
good look. I don't think I have an issue with that.
If somebody rocks that, I'm like, yeah, you look, would.

Speaker 3 (18:45):
You throw on either a puka shell right now or
a ball necklace?

Speaker 1 (18:49):
I would rock a puka shell for sure, just because now, yeah,
just because the ball necklaces. I always felt like it
was gonna pinch you. Yeah, like especially like you put
them on. I was like, no, I don't like that,
and then sketchy. And then a similar thing. A necklace
for your waist is a belt, so.

Speaker 3 (19:07):
That girls used to no but but uh no belts
back then with the with the studs on them. So
then I had like, a I don't have it like
a little fupa or like a gunt and my gun, yeah,
gut and cunt, and it would rub on the pyramid

(19:27):
belt and it would cause me that fucking rash rat
date wears so much metal, Like, why was they wearing
so much metal? I even had my ear pierced and
it was like a metal stud so much metal.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
Wi wearing so.

Speaker 3 (19:50):
Much metal and shells? But what's your next fab that
you have?

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Speaking Hawaii, yea, there's actually a lot of people think
this ch in Hawaii, so it's kind of cool. So
this game of milk caps possibly originated in Maui, Hawaii,
during the nineteen twenties or the nineteen thirties, or possibly
with the origins in Manko, a Japanese card game very
similar to melt caps, which has been in existence since

(20:17):
the seventeenth century, but for this specific game, it goes
back to about nineteen twenty nineteen thirty. The game of
milk Caps was played on the Hawaiian highland of Maui
as early as nineteen twenty seven. There are cap collectors
that have caps dating back to the forties and fifties.
So most people don't know what I'm talking about when
I say milk caps, but if I say POGs one,

(20:43):
this is what the excitement's all about. Hoogs.

Speaker 5 (20:49):
In between gobbling down lunch, the kids try to flip
paper bottle tops upside down using a heavier disc called
a kini or slammer. You get to keep the POGs
you flip. If you're playing keep sees, it'll changes everything.

Speaker 3 (21:01):
Motherfucker, look at that.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
Don't look at my top one, but my number two one?
Oh nice? Cool? All right? So we got a tu
for here two for we're game bang in this yhi.
So I'll just go on a little history then you can
talking like a little more.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
So.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
A Hawaiian teacher brought it back in the early nineteen nineties,
and by nineteen ninety seven the biggest pog manufacturer actually
went out of business. The teacher started it to have
activities that weren't so violent during recess. That's kind of smart, yeah,
but also like what was going on like to make
it so violent where she's like, you, guys, we need
to do something that these kids are like they had

(21:35):
like out there, like you know, it's probably like elementary kids,
you know. Uh. But then eventually they got banned from
schools because it was a little too much like gambling.
And of course religious people were mad because I had
like skulls on there and stuff. So that's dope, though,
did you have a lot of POGs. Yeah, so many POGs.

Speaker 3 (21:50):
And I get the gambling thing because if you so,
you would stack it up and then you use a
slammer yep to flip it or whatever, and then you
you keep the ones that you win.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
Well see, I don't know if you actually kept them,
So whoever went Okay, So I got it. So the
players each contribute an equal amount of POGs to build
a stack, which will be used during the game. The
players take turns throwing their slammer down onto the top
of the stack, causing it to spring up in POGs
to scatter. Each player keeps any milk oh, I guess, yeah,
keep any milk caps that have flipped over after each throw.

(22:23):
The POGs which have not flipped over are then restacked
for the next player. When no POGs remain in the stack,
the player with the most POGs is the winner. But
I don't know if you got to keep them. But
that's how I played them. I think that's how everybody played, or.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
That's how like And if I can see that being
like a lot of drama, yeah, causing yeah, because there
were so many POGs that meant a lot to me,
Like I then this just opens another can of worms
when it comes to fads, because some of them, like okay,
Poweringers were super big and they're still quite you know, popular,

(22:55):
but there was after the popularity of that came, like
like VR Rangers, have you seen that?

Speaker 1 (23:02):
I know of it, but like yeah, it's yeah, it's almost.

Speaker 3 (23:04):
Like Power, like a discounted version of them.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
It's like a power Yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:09):
And then but it did have a talking dog, so
that was cool. But I had the whole collection of
VR Rangers, Like that's how cool.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
I was, like everybody was.

Speaker 3 (23:19):
You were cool, like rocking the band shirts and ship
and then I'm over here like everyone everyone's playing Power Rangers,
like I'm Jason, I'm Kimberly, and I'm like I'm Drake
or whatever.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
He has a lot of rash. He has a lot
of rash.

Speaker 3 (23:36):
He's never heard of power and he's pretending to be
a talking dog Like what Yeah, okay, So so one
memory that just I'm unlocking so many memories that the
small help listener is too. So I remember playing in
because this has had to be in grade school time
frame when POGs were really hitting it hard, so I

(23:57):
remember playing with uh, it doesn't matter the listener. But
Jacob and Ryan, these two kids from school. So we
were playing on the track, like there's a track, and
the track was made of really really tiny, tiny gravel.
So we were playing on that, and I think we
stopped playing POGs and what I wanted to do This
is embarrassing, but what I wanted to do is I

(24:17):
wanted to I was making this not pog related at all,
but track related. I was making an aquarium out of
the gravel. So I would make like a little like
pool for the whale. Here's the little gift shop. Like
I was just you were a badass kid. And then

(24:38):
I'm over here like oh the design and like the
track is for people to run on.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
You're like, excuse me, that's where my octopus is supposed
to be right now, thank you? Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
And then one last little thing. I went through this
like you know when like kids try to be cool
so they like lie, yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (24:55):
So I after school that this was like third fourth grade.
After school, I was watching like the I don't know
what's it called, MTV area and I was writing down
the lyrics to a song and I brought that to
school the next day and I said that I wrote
it not knowing that other people also have MTV and

(25:17):
hear me popular music, Well, do.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
You remember it? So this is the worst part.

Speaker 3 (25:23):
So you would think it would be like, I don't know,
backship someone or like uh a Nirvana or someone like.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
A cool popular artist.

Speaker 3 (25:31):
It was actor turned singer kind of Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
Okay, so Jennifer Love, you had dabbled in music briefly.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
So it was a song of Jennifer Love Hewitt's So
I tried to like like take like appropriate.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
It's like about the Bronx and stuff, you know, not
Jennifer Lopez. Oh, Jennifer Oh, so so.

Speaker 3 (25:57):
That nobody actress that was like, and I know what
you did last summer from exactly Yeah, she was on
the episode of so her not not Jenifez, who like
you know, sells us to sell out arenas and albums
at number one Jennifer Love Hewitt. So it'd be the
equivalent of you plagiarizing like Kevin Bacon's band.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
I hate him, yeah, but I get it. Yeah, but
like or Russell Crowe, right, yeah, band or whatever? Yeah,
it was odd okay, POGs. Yeah, it means fat ass
white girls, fat ass p a w G. That's what
a pog is now with a p h Okay, pog

(26:41):
is p o G s. Yeah. But now if you
hear pog, most people assume it's probably p a w
G like a fat ass white girl.

Speaker 3 (26:50):
Huh yeah, would you There's this uh interviewer that asked
this question super inappropriate, but it was asking a former
congressman would you rather have a gay son.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
Or a thought daughter? And a thought daughter is a
horror daughter? Right, yeah, well it depends like so just
because she Okay, So my thing is I don't think
any of one of them is wrong, right, Yeah, I'm
just trying to think. Am I am I a senator
at this time? Yeah, I'm gonna go gay son for sure.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
So how I thought of that question was this has
to do with pog somehow I guess is that dude,
would you either have a gay son or a thought daughter?
So really, would you rather have a thought daughter or
a thought son? Because you know, like even the gay
son that's that's making aquariums out of gravel, it still

(27:45):
gets some play.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
Yeah, for sure. Yeah. I remember one of the POGs
I had that I loved so much is because right
around that time I was second sixth grade or I was
six years old roughly when I was like into POGs,
I guess. So that movie The Little Rascals came out
and like the ninety nine ten and one, and I
had a few of them, and those were like my
I was like, fuck, I have these like Little Rascal POGs.

(28:06):
I was like my favorite ones. Oddly enough, my friend's
Sable just randomly posted something on Instagram about POGs and
I was like, and I sent her picture. I'm like, dude,
look when I've been looking up on eBay, I've been
just randomly, I've been looking up POGs and they're not
that bad. They're like twenty thirty bucks, and you get
like a whole lot of them, like you know, not
like a space lot, but like a l ot a lot. Yeah,

(28:32):
you can get a lots of them. Yeah, uh for
like twenty bucks. I'm thinking about getting them. And I
play a lot of dungeons and dragons, and uh, you know,
they don't really make two sided dice. So I think
I'm gonna buy some metal slammers and that's getting my
two sided dice. I like that, but they still feel
like thirteen or fourteen. I'm like I don't know if
I can. I'm kind of cheap.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
So well, you have a three D printer, yeah, and
I could.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
Print one, but it's not metal. Oh yeah, like all
plastic show so when the bet one of them.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
So I've had two in my childhood, two Christmas gifts
that really just like fucking killed, like like they were
the best. So one of them was micro hot wheels
micromachine like that. It was like that RV thing and
that folds down into a city. It's like these little
hot wheels, but the tiny ones.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
And I feel like everybody had those growing up, but
like nobody had the correct stickers on them, like they're
always kind of really beat the ship for some reason.
But I remember like all my friends had.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
Yeah, it was the best, and I would just carry
around like the little briefcase. Another gift that maybe you
should see on eBay if they have this is a
pog maker.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
I remember that they do. You can buy them now
for like crazy cheap, but it's just like it's a
lot to do that. They were quite cheaply made.

Speaker 3 (29:42):
And did you just say quite and then I just
copied you into quite.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
I don't know, oh you said quite cheap?

Speaker 3 (29:48):
I think anyways, that's a lot to revisit, Okay, but
I would do like I don't know who was celebrity,
like Ryan, like Ryan Philippi or whatever his name was.
I just make up pog out of him.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
But I wouldn't bring that one to school because that
wasn't that wasn't cool.

Speaker 4 (30:06):
Well.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
The crazy thing is like when marijuanas are becoming legal
in organ you can go buy you know, marijuana, and
then they would come in these containers that look just
like pow containers. So I wonder if like some company
was like, hey, we have a ship ton of these
pock containers, if anybody can use them, you know, like
maybe I don't know.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
I used to carry my weed in old prescription bottles.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
Oh that's a good idea.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
Yeah, Jackson couldn't open a prescription bottle.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
I found out that you can turn them upside down,
and so he gets rid of the there's a way
to do it to where it gets rid of the childlock.

Speaker 3 (30:39):
You just pull the pull the lip down.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
Well, it depends some of them push down. On those ones,
you can like pop off the top and then turn
it upside down or something.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
There's like so many ten year olds are listening, they
are like, yeah, I would, that's nosalogic for those days. Okay, Andy,
So we both like team or the term I learned
recently Eiffel towered.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
Pog.

Speaker 3 (31:05):
So what's your number one nostalgia thingy?

Speaker 1 (31:08):
Well, this sound might sound familiar to you. Oh yeah,
yeah right, it's the AOL instant messenger. Well, one of
your friends gets online and you know, And so that
was so aim ao incant messenger was a fad, not

(31:30):
knowing that it would lead to which I think is
going to be the downfall of human civilization now, which
is social media. You know. But so if I say
as L, what's that.

Speaker 3 (31:39):
Mean American sign language?

Speaker 1 (31:42):
No? But in chat chat room, aim, oh I don't.
I don't know. Oh it was age sex location whoa
remember did chat rooms like early two thousands, So it
started with Aero inset messenger. And I remember, like people
have those names, whereas like little Cutie four four eight

(32:03):
and stuff, And mine was punk rocker because that's really punk,
you know, with a bunch of well actually it was
my birthday behind it. I think about how unsafe that
it's so unsafe like and then I'm like, on these
chatrooms talking to people like and they go asl and
I'm like, oh Brad uh male Hawaii twenty you know.

Speaker 3 (32:24):
You know, you would have to keep it private.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
Well yeah, but my name, your name if anybody do it,
and they're like, oh, this kid's thirteen years old, you know.
But uh, that was our first time because I think
when you're on those arrow intet messengers and chat rooms
and stuff. Back then, we didn't have cell phones, we
didn't have social media, so the only real way to
actually talk to your friends was either go to their
house knock on the door, or you'd have to call

(32:49):
the home phone and be like, oh, I hope their
parents don't answer, you know what I mean, because there's
only one phone in the house. And then especially if
like the parents were dicks and you're like, hey, it
was Billy there or whatever, and you're like, oh, yeah,
hold on, it's just like really awkward. Or if they're
not there, that's awkward. So this was like the first
time where you could talk to people you knew without
having to deal with anybody else. Yeah, Like you didn't

(33:09):
have to talk to their sisters, their parents, their brothers
or anything. You could just actually talk to your friends
and I remember like talking to people going, hey, you,
what's your aim name, and then they've write it down,
and then you'd go home and like type it in
and then you could hear, and then you could hear
when people got on, when they got off, and then
the little sound and someone actually sends you a message
and just conversations until like four am in the morning,

(33:31):
just you tell, And it was fucking crazy. That's also
a reason why I think so many people in our
generation can type really fast, because we would just be
you know. I learned so much in chat rooms about
like music and bands and things like that, so that
is a fad that I kind of but then it
just turned into social media, you know.

Speaker 3 (33:49):
So yeah, I didn't really do like I'm remembering a
lot of this, Like I think I just forgot completely
about it.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
Instant Messenger, but I don't think i'd use it as all.
I'm sure I used it a lot, but I never
did that.

Speaker 3 (34:02):
I can recall like the chat rooms, I know, the
age sex location things that sounds like a hookup thing.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
Well I kind of or.

Speaker 3 (34:10):
Were just trying to figure out if somebody was like
age appropriate to be talking to.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
Kind of, but like everybody would ask that, and then like, yeah,
I remember when my friends would go in these chat
rooms and like talk dirty to these people that we
thought were girls. But now it's probably just like now
thinking about it, probably some fifty year old dude just
like jerking off, you know, were like, you know, I
mean he saw my birthday, you know. But and then
I remember like it was the first time where you

(34:35):
could kind of see that there were chat rooms for anything,
so any stuff that you were into that you thought
was kind of like, I don't know, not sexual, I'm
talking about just in general, Like, you know, I really
liked punk, so then I found like a punk rock
chat room and then I'm like, oh my gosh, these
people know you know, you know, skateboarding or cheap trick
or anything like that. You could find these groups of
people and you could feel that connection and for the

(34:58):
most part, it wasn't too creepy. And then sometimes you'd
get them to send a picture to you and then
you can send a picture bag and it's like fuck, yeah,
you know, it was awesome. It was a really fun time,
and it's just I think a way for us to
kind of learn our social skills with you know.

Speaker 3 (35:13):
Yeah, So and like when when you talk on the phone,
if you just have like one landline kind of thing
you have to worry about, like is your sibling over
hearing or your parents being too loud, call waiting whatever.
But with this you could like, yeah, have chats forever
and all you hear is clack in yeah exactly.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
And then a lot of people I knew back then,
like we would talk for hours, and like Kayleene, we
became really good friends because we would like kind of
write music through ale and semessage Yeah, so she would
do line, I would do line not like coke yeah,
we're like yeah, but like you know, and then I
would rhyme the line. Stuff like that. It's a lot
of phone and you just kind of meet people that like,

(35:51):
for the most part, you really wouldn't and you actually
I met a lot of people that I normally wouldn't
probably have became such good friends with just because then
they had group ale incant messengers. Okay, so then it
was like six people and then you can all kind
of talk and then you know, maybe some people leave,
and then like that's how me and my buddy Burr
became really good friends is because that's how kind of
we started talking. A lot was ale inset messengers, So

(36:13):
it was pretty cool, a lot of fun, that's yeah.

Speaker 3 (36:16):
I really I must have maybe just late nights of
doing that. I just I don't remember doing it a lot,
a lot, but I must have because it does sound familiar.
I know one time I did it. And this is
a really weird story I remember is me and two
guy friends we went to some leader youth pastor's house.

(36:38):
They all lived together. They were older, obviously they had
house together that they were all roommates, and we went
over there.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
And so the house was full of youth pastors.

Speaker 3 (36:45):
Yeah, it was like four roommates or something like that.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
And they're all, that's up. My name is Brad. Let's
talk about Jesus, Jesus dope something like that.

Speaker 3 (36:53):
So I don't remember that. I mean I remember them
leaving the three of us high schoolers or like early
high schoolers in their house while they went and got
beer and then and then they had a trampoline in
the backyard and a mini golf set up in their
living room. And how this is related to instant Messenger

(37:16):
as I was on instant Messenger with a girl we
went to school with i'll tell you later, but very random,
like this person, I'm gonna tell you. And I was
telling her what we were doing. And the two guys
I was with were playing miniature golf and to make
the stakes more high, whoever won like each shot is
it been like nine holes. I got to choose what

(37:37):
clothing game off of them and eventually they were pretty
much naked and then they ran out and jumped on
the trampoline. But now as I'm saying this story, like
it kind of sounds like.

Speaker 1 (37:48):
We were Yeah, were they were giving you? Were they
giving you guys beer?

Speaker 3 (37:56):
See, I don't remember like anything else that they probably didn't.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
Give you a beer and there's probably ship inside of it. No,
maybe I don't know whatever.

Speaker 3 (38:11):
Getting some getting some. But I remember messaging this person
telling them what was happening, and they were they were
pretty level headed person. They're like, that doesn't sound right,
that sounds pretty. I think that we bounced pretty. I
think we bounced when they got back and one of
the moms came and picked us up like the guys
that we were with. But I was like, this is
what straight guys do like this, like get naked with
each other and jump on trampolines and I'm in the

(38:33):
closet for the most part and I'm just watching.

Speaker 1 (38:36):
Would they keep it in the closet?

Speaker 4 (38:38):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (38:39):
Yeah, But I was like trying not to act like
I was like looking.

Speaker 3 (38:43):
And stuff, but you know, I was.

Speaker 1 (38:44):
You're like, man, that's yeah, that's my.

Speaker 3 (38:47):
My memory with Instagram Messenger or whatever it's called, or Facebook,
what's it called aol messenger?

Speaker 1 (38:53):
Yeah, And then they had like the Yahoo ones and
sometimes you'd like some people like, oh I only have Yahoo?
You mean you only have Amy? Idiot? You know, and
then my parents will love me.

Speaker 3 (39:02):
I'm like, but y'all, now look who's winning, because y'all
whoo I think is still around? Kind of ao all
is like gone? But Ale what was like number one?
Like You've Got Mail? Was like based off.

Speaker 1 (39:13):
A dated movie?

Speaker 3 (39:14):
Right?

Speaker 1 (39:14):
Yeah, the isn't Ale Time Warner and doesn't comcasts own
Time Warner or something like that.

Speaker 3 (39:20):
Oh I don't know, yeah, I don't know. It's it's
a born andy.

Speaker 1 (39:23):
Thank you really quick though. My dad remember remember I
was talking to one time and he was talking about
because he got on the internet about ninety four and
he goes all it really was like you could kind
of check the uh weather from like different places around
he goes. There was very few chat rooms, so like
he was on the very first people like in chat
rooms and stuff. Kind of crazy.

Speaker 3 (39:43):
I remember there was like websites were really popular back then.
I remember there's just one that I liked.

Speaker 1 (39:48):
It was so sick. Yeah, oh my god, I didn't
know you're gonna say that. I just had a feeling
was dope. Crazy that. Yeah, there just wasn't that many,
but that was a big thing in the day. And
then they had like it was like monthly releases for
a while, and they had like this really long story
or is like weekly and I was like I kept waiting,
and then they were like really in depth, like really

(40:10):
cool stick stuff. Yeah, I want to know.

Speaker 3 (40:12):
I want to That's just I have not thought about
that since we last watched it, probably twenty years.

Speaker 1 (40:18):
Right, Yeah, that's probably. Yeah, that's crazy. And then eventually
got better with like Flash and you could like play
games on there and ship. Yeah. That's was dope. Yeah,
oh my god, that's yeah.

Speaker 3 (40:26):
I'm unlocking so much shit right now. All right, So
my number one and this is like the difference between
so you were talking about with your number one, you know,
having this like big social outrage.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
And group and stuff.

Speaker 3 (40:38):
My my number one, And is how cool I was?

Speaker 1 (40:43):
I should have that would have Oh my god, I
have bullied so much.

Speaker 3 (40:46):
But the thing was I really like, was not bullied.

Speaker 1 (40:49):
But I gave all the bullies so much ambition.

Speaker 3 (40:53):
But the thankfully I got just tall and funny. So
it's fine.

Speaker 1 (40:57):
So my number one is beamie babies. So what is
it about the beanie babes that sending Americans into a
spending frenzy?

Speaker 4 (41:05):
They just became crazy about them in there in the
United States because they were an inexpensive item you could
pick up at them all for your child, and now
they've become collector's items.

Speaker 1 (41:16):
For somebody back in the States. We're looking for a
British beer beanie baby that they can only find over here.
What is it about? I have no idea. You know,
I was thinking about putting them on there, but I
didn't just because we had a full episode, not a
full but we talked about Christmas one time.

Speaker 3 (41:35):
Oh was I on hiatus that time?

Speaker 1 (41:37):
No, it was like on the very beginning, was four
or five years ago.

Speaker 3 (41:40):
Oh okay, gotcha got check out because I went through
a little little hiatus that the episodes were fine anyway,
they weren't amazing.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
Okay, so beanie babies were. I had to choose them because.

Speaker 3 (41:49):
They were such a Chris this is so they were
such a critical part of my youth.

Speaker 1 (41:54):
And that's just like I'm putting my right Philippi pogre
R princess, I am.

Speaker 3 (42:01):
They were so we were into them, like not like
some people in my family were a little bit more
into the Like they had like a what's it called
a carryo cabinet fancy dishes, but they put their beanie
babies in there. But I was pretty into I had
like the protectors for the tags. I would learn all
their names. I like Jesse, my sister and I we
would like kind of trade.

Speaker 1 (42:21):
Them a little bit.

Speaker 3 (42:22):
But Jesse always you know, targeted like the dog because
she's a dog person, not you know, she's a human,
but she likes dogs. She's not a VR Ranger mascot.

Speaker 1 (42:33):
So uh, we're overalls.

Speaker 3 (42:36):
Yeah, And she did like the butter Jesse had. She
leaned into every fad. She had the butterfly clips.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
Oh, she's the ones where like the girls only had
like two little things and they would come out like
te bows from TLC. Yeah, she killed it.

Speaker 3 (42:51):
And then she did like the two buns on the
head like she killed it. She did the those choker
necklaces like every fad. She was like, I'm on this.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
So yeah, beanie babies I was obsessed with.

Speaker 3 (43:03):
And it didn't just how you were talking with yours
like that aol instant messenger kind of you know, morphed
eventually into like MySpace of social media and all that stuff.
So my evolution of beanie babies just moved into like
my collection of chochkeys that I sure I love pig stuff,
like I collect pig things from antique shops. I love,

(43:25):
Like I used to really be into like antiques, for
like I have my kitchen decorated and antique like spice
containers and like bread boxes and.

Speaker 1 (43:34):
Like that kind of thing. But I just love choch keys.

Speaker 3 (43:37):
And that's the choch key of the nineties for like
millennials was beanie babies.

Speaker 1 (43:43):
And it got crazy, like.

Speaker 3 (43:44):
These banabies selling for so much money, and then there
was like a big divorce case that where they had
to separate, and there's like the pictures of like these
mountains of beanie babies that they had to like separate.

Speaker 1 (43:54):
Some people's lives were ruined by babies, which is crazy.
Some people were like taking mortgages out in their house
to like because of like this one's gonna be the
big one. Yeah, And they basically what they did was
they kind of manipulated the market. And the whole reason
the whole beanie baby crazy started was because there's one
that wasn't selling really good, really well, so they stopped

(44:16):
making it. And then once someone goes like, wait, they
only made like X amount of these, well, shit, I
want one these. And then then then the beanie baby
people were like, that's what we need to start doing.
We got to tell them there's not very many of them.
And the same thing with the plank like football cards.
People were like kind of fake manufacturing the scarcity of it,
you know, but you know, beanie babies are fucking huge.

(44:37):
Every store, whether you thought it would be a store
like a Hallmark sold that shit for sure. You know,
like that stuff for sure because it just you can
it's Hallmark stores that's not around anymore. But like video
game stores would sell beanie babies. It was literally everywhere, and.

Speaker 3 (44:51):
Like maybe like it's not to the same level, but
there's like funkos. Yeah, they're kind of like a beanie
baby ish.

Speaker 1 (44:58):
For sure, and they are dying out right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
that would be a good fad too.

Speaker 3 (45:02):
So like the listen like in the future, like in
ten twenty years when there's like another podcast, probably not
an indigenous person because you know, and then like I
don't know what the next homosexual thing is going to be.

Speaker 1 (45:18):
Probably like it was gonna it's so bad you can
go all the way around to straight.

Speaker 3 (45:22):
No, I was gonna make such a homophobic joke and
be like, what's next having sex with dogs.

Speaker 1 (45:26):
Or like turkeys or whatever.

Speaker 3 (45:29):
But then like the turkey rape, we don't get into
that anyways.

Speaker 1 (45:32):
So wait, was I talking to you about someone?

Speaker 4 (45:36):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (45:37):
But was it about chicken rape?

Speaker 3 (45:39):
I was talking to you about chicken Yeah, that's right. Yeah,
but then a lot of chicken rape. There's the hens
getting raped by the roosters, but then there's also like
the chickens and the turkeys getting raped by the male employees.
It's never the female employees that are like, oh, that's dying.

Speaker 1 (45:54):
Like one time, like recently, I was talking about William Shattner,
Captain Kurk and then my daughter goes, is that the
dog raper? And it sounds crazy, but one time we
saw him live at a comic con and he was
talking about how he breeds his dogs, and one time
he had this dog and the other dog was way bigger,
and he was like it was crazy because like basically

(46:15):
my dog was just getting raped by this thing. And
then my daughter's like six. Maybe one of them goes, dad,
what's rape? And I'm like, oh, well, I guess what
I'm talking about. I think William Shatner was gonna be
the one that brought us. Yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (46:31):
Damn Okay, there's like breed restrictions and like apartments or whatever,
like maybe no pit bulls, no uh you know, dobem
pincers whatever. Maybe there should be that for like presidency
or like in certain places where like there's so many
men that like sexually assault or do horrible things, maybe
they should just like go a different director.

Speaker 1 (46:52):
I don't know, because.

Speaker 3 (46:52):
Women don't rape chickens. I don't think that happens. And
if they do, then like something is that's a one off?

Speaker 1 (46:58):
Yeah, it's like a one off. First, sure, she's going
through it like she's at her limits and are I'm
more concerned about her now and then because like what
what I mean there's been I mean right now, there's
like four billion women and you're the only one. You're
the only one doing that. Yeah. Yeah, babies, Yeah, babies.

(47:20):
But I guarantee if you got I don't know, what
do you think it averaging like one in a thousand
men have raped the chicken? No one in a million.

Speaker 3 (47:31):
More than that, I would say, probably like one in uh,
but we got to.

Speaker 1 (47:35):
Think of like the whole world. Oh so, I mean
there's a lot of places.

Speaker 3 (47:38):
Where I think probably five percent of men in the
world have had like non consensual sex with a poultry.

Speaker 4 (47:47):
Same.

Speaker 1 (47:47):
Yeah, and that doesn't seem outland but give this, give
this stat.

Speaker 3 (47:52):
Ten percent of men have had consensual relations with poultry.

Speaker 1 (47:57):
So the lots are pretty good. Yeah, so filtry if
only five of them are like dvv.

Speaker 3 (48:05):
About Yeah, you've seen some of the chicken breasts at
the store like those Yeah, man, So that's for the
listener who's u man with poultry ideations anyways. Okay, so
my number three was puka shells ball necklaces. Number two
was POGs as well as yours and Number one was

(48:28):
beatie babies.

Speaker 1 (48:30):
Yeah, we won't really into beanie babies on this.

Speaker 3 (48:34):
I think we covered different stuff in this segment then
on the Christmas one.

Speaker 1 (48:38):
Yeah, that's true, we did. So mine were soap shoes
and then POGs and then ale and some messengers slash
chat rooms because it kind of came out right around
the same time. So I'm really glad that you were abducted, dude,
I know, right, think about yeah, if you think about it.
But I do remember sometimes, like I remember cat fishing

(48:58):
people that I knew were trying to catfish meat and
we went to the same school. Eh yeah, that complex complex,
like yeah, because then after a while then they had
all these like macros and shit you could make in
these like little program sto where you could get a
fake use your name in message to people. But all
it really did was when you typed it automatically pressed

(49:19):
enter like six times, and then it would have a
name and then it'd be your message. So then if
they just scrolled up, you could see your actual name.
But yeah, it's just crazy. I remember it was like
and then you can start like putting little mottos like
Andy whatever, organ, and then you could put like living
to die or I don't know whatever you would put down.

Speaker 3 (49:39):
Oh my god, that's that's stayed around because I get
email sometimes and then like I love Ruth Bader Ginsburg
before she died, of course, but somebody I sent me
an email and it was like a long fucking quote
at the end of the email. That's in every email
she sends. It's like a paragraph, like three sentences like speech.
So I want to do it's it's not.

Speaker 1 (50:00):
A do you know? Yeah, do you know?

Speaker 3 (50:02):
Do you know it? Okay, but it's just like this
versus that with fads. Sure, so we'll see how this goes.
I haven't reviewed this since I wrote it.

Speaker 1 (50:09):
But number one, oh this is easy. Okay.

Speaker 3 (50:13):
POGs versus pokemonos.

Speaker 1 (50:15):
I never liked Pokemon, never got into it stands for
pocket monsters.

Speaker 3 (50:19):
Oh my god, I never knew that. I did like
Pikachu a lot.

Speaker 1 (50:23):
Okay. Fanny packs versus overalls fanny facts. I never liked overalls.
I think they look silly.

Speaker 3 (50:29):
If they came with a backflap in the back because
I can't deal with those straps if I'm having panic poops.

Speaker 1 (50:35):
I guess if you're like an old grizzled farmer. Oh
like this, you still have the bitch.

Speaker 3 (50:40):
That's okay if you need if you need them for work,
it's fine. Oh my god, overalls that are shorts.

Speaker 1 (50:45):
I was just thinking about that, like why, yeah.

Speaker 3 (50:47):
Let's stop that nonsense.

Speaker 1 (50:49):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (50:50):
Number three, this one's obvious too, big dog versus.

Speaker 1 (50:52):
OPI do Wait, we didn't get your answers yet either,
So for what was the first one, Oh, pog, I
would choose pog.

Speaker 3 (50:58):
I'm not a dork.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
And then I was a loser, but I was in
a door.

Speaker 3 (51:02):
Okay, fanny packs all the way, so I still I
wore a fan pack a couple of years ago.

Speaker 1 (51:06):
Big dog.

Speaker 3 (51:08):
And then number four this is more for like what
do you think women would look better? Like what's your
what's your vibe here? So crop tops versus mom jeans
crops okay, really.

Speaker 1 (51:19):
Yeah, mom jeans are the ones that they're bigger on
the bottom.

Speaker 3 (51:23):
I'm thinking I think I think mom jean's like really
high waisted jeans.

Speaker 1 (51:26):
Oh I thought for some reason, uh, mom jeans were
like kind of smaller bell bottoms. I think you did
smaller bell bottoms. Regardless, I'm going to cross crop either
either one or whatever. Mom.

Speaker 3 (51:42):
Okay, frosted tips versus mohawk, so one had one ceases
to exist.

Speaker 1 (51:47):
Is So are we talking mohawk like faux hawk like
where it was like, or like a real mohawk if
you're in the punk scene.

Speaker 3 (51:54):
I'm gonna say punk mohawk like.

Speaker 1 (51:55):
A real person that's in the punk scene. Everybuddy Frank
used to he had a big one. I'm gonna go
mohawk hawk.

Speaker 3 (52:00):
Okay, I'm saying frosted tips all day.

Speaker 1 (52:02):
Okay, number six.

Speaker 3 (52:04):
So this is something that you would put on a
shirt back in the day. And I've talked about this before,
At least for me, it was a big thing. Dragon
dragons are fucking badass, but they weren't in my life, okay.

Speaker 1 (52:17):
Or Hawaiian flowers. I guess it depends on the color
of the shirt. No, I guess it doesn't. So I'm
gonna sew both black shirts with red dragon or red flowers.

Speaker 3 (52:30):
The dragon is orange, but the flowers are red.

Speaker 1 (52:33):
I'm gonna go flowers, but the flowers shirt.

Speaker 3 (52:37):
Has a couple of the yellow mustard stains.

Speaker 1 (52:41):
I don't like mustard, which means either someone threw mustard
at me or someone made me something the mustard on
it previously. So I'm gonna go dragon.

Speaker 3 (52:47):
So you're you're the dragon's shirt has come on?

Speaker 1 (52:50):
It's I think I'm gonna go dragon. Okay, right on? Okay,
so's a dragon come?

Speaker 3 (52:57):
What would dragon come be?

Speaker 4 (52:58):
Like?

Speaker 1 (52:59):
Fiery? That's what fire is?

Speaker 3 (53:03):
Sound as fire make okay? Number seven? This is uh
games of the nineties, like board games Guess Who or mousetrap.

Speaker 1 (53:13):
Mouse Trap, just because I've always wanted to play even now,
and we had it when I was a kid, but
we didn't have all the pieces.

Speaker 3 (53:20):
That's a story of mousetrap. If you don't someone needs
to be really responsible when playing mouse Trap. It's a
it's a long setup to set it up, but you
need to be But usually when we're kids, when we're
done playing something, we just like throw it in the
box and we're down something else.

Speaker 1 (53:34):
Yeah. So yeah, that's the story that it was really boring. Yeah,
like when I was maybe when I was a little kid,
it seemed fun.

Speaker 3 (53:39):
But I don't know what I would say mousetrap, but
Guess Who? If you got somebody like honestly, like this
is a metaphor for our society. If you got assists,
but like a white male with no hat on, you
were pretty good. Because there's a lot of those.

Speaker 1 (53:55):
You're gonna say, I think there was only like two
colored people there.

Speaker 3 (53:58):
He's not one of bad man with a hat on
your fathers has. If it's a woman of color with
a hat on, they're like, oh Anna, okay. Final one
is oh TV okay, so SNL versus Mad TV.

Speaker 1 (54:14):
SNL.

Speaker 3 (54:15):
So this is kind of like the who to be
Like Adam Sandler, Chris rock Era.

Speaker 1 (54:21):
That's about eighty nine, about ninety three.

Speaker 3 (54:24):
Ish, okay, when was the guy whose wife killed him?

Speaker 1 (54:28):
It's the same. He was on there for like ten
or eleven years. He left I think around ninety four
ninety five.

Speaker 3 (54:33):
I remember when he died. I remember when it got reported.

Speaker 1 (54:36):
I was like, oh my gosh, she did it. Well
it's crazy too, Like I've watched the documentaries about how
fucked up the whole thing is. But I do there's
some people that were great on fucking Mad TV, like
Will Sasso. I think it was great, you know, uh
and Sullivan.

Speaker 3 (54:49):
Will Will whatever his name is, the gay one that's
tall that played Stewart McDonald. Yes, so I do that
at night now that I'm like been working out, I'll
lay in the bed extra Jeremy and I'll.

Speaker 1 (55:00):
Like lift my leg and be like, look what I
can do.

Speaker 3 (55:03):
And then there's one other thing I was gonna say,
so you might want oh, okay, so another and then
know this episode okay, this is uh, there's a lot
of ms in this. Okay, so last episode or whenever
this one comes out. Recently we discussed the patrick the
past scene of Michelle Trackenberg, and I've gotten some good

(55:23):
feedback that it's good that I've retired, you know, making
fun of her and stuff like that, Like it's fine,
Like her death is not a joke.

Speaker 1 (55:30):
Her career was a joke. Her her death is not
a joke.

Speaker 3 (55:33):
So I would Another person in celebrity culture died recently,
and that's Gene Hackman, and that's super sad, like he
was in some of my favorite movies, like I Love
and you're not, like, what movie do you think of?
You think of Gene Hackman, Unforgiven or Superman? Okay, so
mine's mine's a little different. I think of Heartbreakers with
again Jennifer love Hewitt, Sigourney Weaver. And also he does

(55:55):
die in that movie. In a very similar way to
how he died in oh really not with like the
rat disease. But we're all okay, so we're not laughing
at that. But so I was scrolling on on Facebook
and then, you know, on Facebook, it says like, people
you might know, did I send you this picture earlier?

Speaker 1 (56:14):
I did? Did that Gene Hackman? It's okay, so, oh
you send this to me.

Speaker 3 (56:19):
So I was scrolling on Facebook and it's like, people
you might know, how to scrolling to see if I
know anybody, And there's somebody that Jeremy's mom is friends with,
and it looks so much like Gene Hackman, not now,
but like Gene Hackman and his wife, Like yeah.

Speaker 1 (56:33):
I think there was a dog in that picture. Yeah, yeah, like.

Speaker 3 (56:36):
Slightly younger, I'm assuming mad Asian, hispanic, looked very similar
to his wife, very much in the face. Look like
Gene Hackman.

Speaker 1 (56:43):
So veryous. I just want to say, very sad.

Speaker 3 (56:46):
I don't know what the point of me bringing that up,
but I thought was like, hey, that's a doppel gigger
of people that just died tragically.

Speaker 1 (56:51):
So I feel like I should say if I met them,
I would one.

Speaker 3 (56:53):
Hundred percent say something yeah, she's what choice would I have?
But but but I think it's really sad that we lost,
you know, people tragically that we in our generation, we
grew up with TV and movies and it was such
an intimate like they come into our homes almost, and
for Michael Jackson, they literally did. But and I think

(57:15):
it was really cool that, you know, Gene hackn't got
a lot of recognition, but it was interesting that a
lot of the articles written about Gene Hackman did include
Michelle Trackenberg. So one is a two time Oscar winner,
the other one, you know, starting skate princess.

Speaker 1 (57:35):
Whatever whatever. I'm just speaking of Michael Jackson. Did you
see when he's talking about that Tommy Matila. No, A
video just came out of him and he's like, all right,
nobody recorded this, but he's saying that guy is evil,
He's a piece of shit. Where I Carrie came to
me after the divorce and was like crying and he goes,
we need to end that motherfucker. I was like, it's
Michael Jackson.

Speaker 3 (57:55):
I know, he was like little street like that.

Speaker 1 (57:58):
Well, I mean, you think about it. He grew up
really poor. His dad used to beat him, he had
like six brothers that you know, So the motherfucker could box. Dude.

Speaker 3 (58:04):
Oh his mom was a Angela Bassett.

Speaker 1 (58:08):
She's still in a movie. She's still really still.

Speaker 3 (58:12):
She's in the show nine one one, which that show
is fucking chaotic.

Speaker 1 (58:16):
Watch it.

Speaker 3 (58:16):
It's like be tornadoes, like tornadoes of bees. But also
Jennifer love Hewitts in it, like.

Speaker 1 (58:22):
Yeah, episodes.

Speaker 3 (58:26):
So and then also in the defense of my jokes
about Michelle truck at my former jokes, we did joke.
We do joke a lot about Hitler and he's dead.

Speaker 1 (58:36):
So and one time I did ask, would you rather
live with Michelle? Oh my god, well.

Speaker 3 (58:44):
Just because he would be cleaner probably, So yeah, oh
I feel so bad. So we're done with Michelle. It's
not a joke that she died, but it is kind
of a joke to put her in the same category
as Gene Hackman. Sure, like Gene Hackeman was in the
bird cage, like, come on, calm down, people.

Speaker 1 (59:00):
Wonderd Freeman's Oscar thing was beautiful. I thought I didn't
watch it because this is the first year I watched
like the whole Oscars, and it was really exciting. I
was like, it can't be fun. But it was a
lot of fun, So I'm gonna start watching it. Kind
of want to have Oh, it depends on the host.
I bet too.

Speaker 3 (59:15):
I didn't get into it all the word season and
watch the journey.

Speaker 1 (59:19):
Yeah, go on, we should have like an Oscar party. Yeah,
I love that.

Speaker 3 (59:23):
So again, I don't know if we're gonna keep the
Michelle Trackerberg stuff or not.

Speaker 1 (59:28):
Maybe just keep that bar. I don't know. But anyway, so.

Speaker 3 (59:33):
Let's see what other fans are coming our way. Probably
podcasts will get fat at some point.

Speaker 1 (59:37):
Yeah it is. I know all tens of you listening.

Speaker 3 (59:42):
Okay, so listener, leave us five or four, three, whatever,
five star reviews. Probably five five would be perfect. Yeah, five,
but tell us how shut sucky we are.

Speaker 1 (59:51):
If you don't like us, leave us at five. If
you're thinking about leaving us at four, don't do it.
