90s Nostalgia, $5 Footlongs & Grown Folk Realities

What is up, y’all! What is UP! We are back in the house to slap some more soul to you on this brand-new episode of Damn We Grown!This week, we’re taking a hilarious and heartfelt trip down memory lane to the golden era: the 1990s and early 2000s. Was the music really better back then, or were we just stress-free kids with no real bills and zero adult responsibilities? We’re diving into the days of recording songs off the radio onto cassette tapes, custom voicemail skits, MTV music videos, and the magic of TGIF lineups.Plus, we’re balancing the nostalgia with some real-time grown folk business—from teaching our teen to drive in empty parking lots without losing our cool, to the wild cost of raising kids today (seriously, why is special lotion $17?!), and surviving the soaring prices of fast food.In this episode, we’re getting into:The Magic of '90s Nostalgia: Rewinding to the days of In Living Color, Def Comedy Jam, Saved by the Bell, Martin, and why appointment TV hit different before streaming took over.Music & Culture Wars: Comparing classic R&B supergroups and Hip-Hop legends to today’s streaming era—and why you had to put in real work to buy an album on tape or CD.Adulting & Raising Teens: Navigating second driving lessons, letting our kids face their fears, and the high financial cost of teenage style upgrades.Fast Food Inflation: Remembering 25-cent hamburgers, 99-cent Whoppers, and singing the blues over the death of the real $5 Footlong.Then vs. Now: The contrast between hanging out in the moment without cell phones versus navigating today's curated social media world.Take a break from adulting, grab your favorite snack, and vibe out with us as we celebrate the times that made us who we are!Connect With Us:Socials: Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube [@DamnWeGrown]Email: Got a funny '90s memory, a question, or a topic idea?
