More 90's Myths We Believed

from Almost Grown Up · host Almost Grown Up Podcast

They lied to us again. And by they, I mean our parents, teachers, church leaders, and literally every adult we trusted in the 90s.This week, Janna joins me for part two of our ongoing breakdown of the weird shit we were told growing up. Myths like:• Swallowing watermelon seeds = watermelon growing in your stomach• The 5-second rule is basically science• You’ll die if you go outside with wet hair• Quicksand is everywhere and coming for you• Flashing your headlights will get you murdered• You only use 10% of your brain (but what if… superpowers?)• You can get pregnant from a public toilet• Jesus could literally come back at any second• And yes… that permanent record they threatened us with still haunts me.We’re laughing, unpacking, and remembering what it felt like to grow up with so much fear wrapped in folklore. It’s nostalgic, hilarious, and a little unhinged just like childhood in the 90s.Plus, in this week’s Caffeine & Coping segment, Janna and I talk about the small stuff helping us feel grounded: new shoes, good coffee, and rewatching The Bear like it’s therapy.If you ever felt like adulthood is just trying to unlearn all the dumb things you believed as a kid… you’re in good company.

On the Floor with Little Fern Little Fern Salon Step into the world of Little Fern Salon, where two hairstylists, Female co-owners,  serve up behind-the-chair secrets every other week. From the chaos of running a business to heart-to-hearts with clients, nothing is off-limits in this unfiltered look at salon life. Expect juicy stories, unexpected twists, and a touch of drama, all served with a side of wit and style. Each episode is a reminder that no day—or conversation—is ever ordinary in our little corner of the world. XOXO, Fern Girlz Explicit Running In Slow Motion with Sidney & Tamra Smith You Hear Good Things podcast network Comedian Sidney Smith and his wife Tamra — a sharp-witted educator with a soft spot for flowers — team up to navigate life, goals, and culture at their own hilarious, at times, in-depth pace. They call it “running in slow motion,” and that pretty much sums up the vibe. This isn’t a marriage podcast (their union ranks a generous 5 out of 10, after all), but it is a refreshingly honest, smart, and funny take on relationships, ambition, and everyday chaos. From real talk to pop culture and unexpected interviews, it’s a joyride of relatable moments and laugh-out-loud observations. Explicit Some People Suck Podcast Kodie Croll & Hylton Davis the boys talk give their take and share what's been going on in their world that week, as far as the culinary world, comedy, MMA, wrestling, whiskey, growing up differently, stories, documentaries, reality TV shows and sports entertainment and everything in between, basically just two best friends being young and dumb and sharing life with you guys.
