Childhood: 90s vs. Now
Today is a blast from the past. From thongs to Cosmic Brownies, we cover it all. But first…Michael starts us off with an absolute batshit banger you don’t wanna miss (he just wanted to be a hero!!). Once we calm our nervous systems down, we jump into the meat and potatoes - growing up in the 90s vs. growing up now. Remember those scrunchy shirts and 3D Doritos?? Man...what a simpler time. This episode is the most epic walk down memory lane. We end with an interesting dilemma: things are getting wild in a retirement community. Listen in to see what happened and how we weigh in…
