17 - Remember Us (with Aaron!)

Welcome to our very first guest, Aaron, Danielle's husband's BFF and former emo kid - a truly rare breed in SoCal. We will not be reading entries in this episode in solidarity with Aaron, who was one of the many souls who lost their journals to the LJ Purge of 2007 (moment of silence). We start out with a discussion of the West Coast vs. East Coast high school experience - apparently the surfer lifestyle was a real thing beyond just wearing puca shells and Hollister tees? - and a fun connection/throwback from last ep about Trustkill Records. We also cover what we are currently watching and listening to and say a silent prayer that the Lizzbians don't @ us over Steph's commentary on her new album. We round it out with the evolution of our favorite computer and videogames in the 90s and beyond, Dungeons and Dragons, and the experience of a pet passing away (we are not sure how we got here either). And, of course, the glue that holds this show together: William Shatner and shoplifting.  Follow Aaron: @aaronhound Things we mention: American Horror Stories (Netflix) Stranger Things (Netflix) Umbrella Academy (Netflix) Lizzo - Special (2022) (Album) Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottlieb (Book) Nerd Poker (DnD Podcast) Us (2019) (Movie) Mythic Quest (TV Show)
