Focus on the Family
Lauren is big mad and rambling in this exploration of Colorado Springs based far-right Evangelical lobby group, Focus on the Family. They have dirty wigs, and airplane, a slide, and a limitless well of bigotry, what's not to love?

Y2k Skate Culture
We have so much to say and literally nothing of substance. Why were the skater guys in high school so fond of the f slur? Only time will tell. We talk about Tony Hawk obviously kind of. And Max Goof inevitably.

We are so back. What did we miss. Anything bad? Surely nothing bad. JOIN US as we look back on the US presidents in our lifetime as we lament about the general nature of everything right now.

Y2k skinny isn't back, it never left
Hey team we are discussing the nasty body type culture of the early 2000's but we aren't convinced that we have had any respite from that trend actually. The fact that we live in the timeline where Kate Moss said "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" proves we live in the dark timeline.

Join us in our elementary school computer classrooms in the early aughts where you are not allowed to sneeze or breathe and actually might have to result to peeing on the floor. Justice for Wikipedia by the way, maybe Putt Putt should have saved Wikipedia instead of some stupid zoo.
