Hey guys, it's Kail and Lindsay, and we're back with coffee combos. And today I'm so excited to talk about the 90s. 90s themed. When were you born? Technically, I'm not a 90s born baby. But you grew up in the 90s. I grew up in the 90s, but I was 89. I lived in 89 for like six months. I was born in 92, so I had a whole solid eight years in the 90s. Yeah. It was a good time. It was like our growing up years. Yeah. I think, actually wore a Rugrat shirt. last night. That's so cute. That was when I was a kid. So the 90s. So it's funny because my little brother's favorite show growing up was Rugrats. Oh yeah. That was the shit. Like what other shows were in the 90s? I feel like, Hey Arnold. Was that in the 90s? Move it. Football Head. Hey Arnold.

That was my show. I didn't care how many times I watched the same episode. Like, Rugrats and Hey Arnold were my shows. Like I loved it. Full House was big for me. I watched that all the time. and I watched Fresh Prince. Yep. I actually find myself watching the same shows that I watched in the 90s. What about like Clarissa explains it all? Oh, that was a good one. Yeah.

All that. Do you remember that? Welcome to the Good Burger. Home of the Good Burger. Keenan and Kel was huge with the orange soda. I think I still credit my love for orange soda to Keenan and Kel. Yes. They need to come back.

I feel like, yeah. But was it Fanta that they were talking about? I don't know. Maybe it was like a TV thing that they couldn't say. Fanta? Yeah, but it was definitely like, yeah. What else was in the 90s? Oh, do you remember maybe this wasn't a 90s thing? Those skip it things that you played with? Was that in the 90s? Oh, skipets. Yeah, or was that like early 2000s? I don't know, but like I played with them all the time. And then like the scrunchies. Overalls were a 90s thing for sure.

Overalls were a 90s thing. But what about like the, do you remember those things that you used to have to put on your neck and then pull them up over your hair? it would like slick your hair back and it had those prongs on it. Oh, like headbands. Oh yeah. I remember those big time. Overalls were big. Overalls were big. I feel like crushed velvet like that like velour type material.

Like track suits. Oh, track suits were big. I feel like we're living in the 90s again because all of these things are coming back. All the fashions coming back from the 90s. Like a choker. Oh yeah. I wear chokers all the time. Not right now.

Like I live for chokers. Yeah. Chokers. Crushed velvet. You wore one of those like the first podcast we ever did. Yeah. love it. Yeah. It's so cute. I'm trying to think what else like we did in the 90s. Was the butterfly clips? Was that? Oh, that was like early 2000s. That was totally in the 90s.

Okay. Yeah. I definitely lived for those and I was always jealous about. Oh my gosh. The glitter rollers. Like they used to like roll on your face. Do you remember those? And they would have like the eyelash light. I mean the um, eyeshadow glitter rollers. Oh like in the little in the little two things. Yeah. And like. Yes. Yes. And, um, I played with Barbies a lot as a kid. Me too. I know that Barbies came out way before the 90s, but like since I was a 90s kid, like Barbie was where it was at. But I remember I have this Barbie that you could like put like streaks of color in her hair.

Oh yeah. And then you could add the streaks in your hair. That was like a big thing. What else? I can't even. Barbies were so legit. I remember back whenever I was playing with Barbies, whenever they came out with like the house collection that had.

like the sofas and like all of that stuff. I had all of that stuff. I just was really jealous of my friends because I played with Barbie so hard and my friends didn't really play with theirs as much. Yeah. But they had like the convertible and the house and the magic dream boat and I didn't have any of those except. Whatever it was. Whatever it was. Whatever. They had like all of those things and I just had the Barbie and I'm like, but I play I'm an only child. I played with the Barbie so hard that I'm like why can't I have that stuff? You don't even play with it. Like I get so mad. Like, they were my jam. Like, the Barbies were my jam.

I loved Barbies so much, too. I was, like, definitely... Actually, I played with Barbies probably way longer than you should play with Barbies. Yeah, I probably paid with them until I was like 12. 12. I was about to say 12. Yeah. Like, I literally played with myself.

I loved them. And then it was kind of like whenever I was 12, I guess, that's whenever I started noticing that, like, I wasn't a boy or whatever. It's almost like that's the age that you realize. You should probably stop. Yeah. Like, you do other things. Like, maybe go outside and socialize. Socialize, yeah.

But that was kind of like the age where I was like, oh, boys are the opposite sex, you know? Yeah. Yeah. And so then I would have like the Ken dolls and like all of that stuff. Oh, yeah. Whenever I was still playing with Barbies, that's whenever I realized that like boys and girls were different. Oh, yeah. And so then my Barbies would have like relationships.

And then I was like, okay, at that point, I know I'm too big should be playing with Barbies. Oh, same. That's exactly when I was like, okay, I need to go socialize with human beings. human beings other than like these toys. Toys that I'm giving personalities. Yeah, I agree. What are like other toys that were in the 90s though? I'm trying to think like, oh, do you remember those electronic journals?

Electronic journals. It was like this like electronic thing that it had like, it was like my secret journal or something and it had like a passcode and you open it and had like a notepad in it. No. I'm going to see if I can Google it because it was a real thing. Like a real thing. Yeah. Yeah. Let me see.

I'm going to Google it right now. Another, okay, another toy that I used to play with all the time. Do you remember Tomogacchis? Yeah, I had 18 of them. No, I'm not 18. I'm exaggerating. I had 10 of them. And I woke up.

I didn't take care of them because I had so many. And at one point, my mom put them in the freezer because they wouldn't stop going off all night. Oh, my gosh. So she put them in the, oh, my gosh. Okay, yes, 90s gadgets. This is it password journal. It was an electronic journal. Do you see that?

I never had that. I never had it. My friends had it. and I was so jealous. Oh my gosh. Hold on. I'm going to find it. It was definitely from the 90s.

But what would you do? So like you open it and you could like tell it secrets and like write things in it. Oh my gosh. Yes. I did know what this was. Like I don't think I had one but like I know what this is. Yeah. But I was obsessed and I never got one.

Like what the fuck mom. Look at the one that had the type. Yeah. I never got one but I would like be trying to get into my friends. Like this is so cool. It was almost like there was like kid laptops in the 90s. We just didn't know about them or didn't know. Floppy drives.

Do you remember floppy? Floppy disk, like in school. Yeah. That was at like when I first started saving projects, it was like, do you have a floppy disk? Yeah. No. Like what would what would kids say, like if a teacher asked them if they had a floppy disc? They'd be like, excuse me?

They would think it was sexual. Excuse me? Game boy. Game boy. I didn't have one. I didn't have one. I had this jar when I was a kid that was like probably like this big. It was like a regular mason jar and I would save all the change in there.

Anytime I had change, whatever. You know, I was poor growing up. And, like, every so often I'd ask my mom to count all the change in there to see if I had enough money for a Game Boy. By time I had enough money for a Game Boy, I was so fucking grown. I didn't want one anymore. Like, what a pitiful story. So, like, how much were a Game Boy? I don't, back in the day, they had to have been, like, $70.

Oh, God. Or at least that's what I was told. Oh, my gosh. How much do you think they're now? I don't even know if Game Boys exist. They definitely do. They have, like, flip ones and slide ones. and like cool ones.

They had like Game Boy Color and like Game Boy. Do you not remember this? I didn't play games like that. Oh. I was playing with Barbies, Gail. I was playing with Barbies too, but like I wanted a Game Boy. That's so funny.

So like how long do you think it took you to save like $70? I don't know. That was in first grade. So it probably took me a solid three years. And at that point I didn't want one anymore. Yeah. We were on to something else. So did you know what you spent your money on?

No, I have no idea. I probably didn't even get the money. My mom probably used it. Oh my gosh. Oh my God. It literally was a jar this big and I saved and I was like, Mom, count it. And she would just, any excuse in the book for me not to get the Game Boy. Oh my God.

Yeah. I remember it turned to 2000 when I was in the second grade and I watched my teacher erase 1999 to 2000. You remember that? I remember it. That had a green chalkboard, not a black chalkboard. It was a green chalkboard. And I remember her. We came back from break and she changed it from 1999 to 2000.

2000. 2000. Oh my gosh. I was afraid whenever it turned over 2000. Really? I was afraid of that word like millennial or whatever. people would say? Are we considered millennials? No, I don't know what

generation we are. What are we called? I would think that we're millennials. We're millennials because we were here when they changed it over to millennial. Okay. Maybe, right? I feel like we're, are we millennialsiums? Let me look it up. I'll look it up for you. Does 89 change from like 90 though?

89? Like, would I still be in the same one? What generation? Is this a dumb question? I feel like it is a dumb question. I feel like we should know. There's like things called like the baby boomers. That's my mom. Okay. Considered a millennial.

Like what years? Okay. Generation X. Okay, wait. That's what I think we are. It is discovered that millennials or members of generation Y are less likely to strongly identify with the generational term when compared to generation X or to the baby boomers. But what years? So.

Okay. Baby Boomers is 1946 to 1964. Generation X is 65 to 79. Zenials is 75 to 85 and millennials are 80 to 95. Oh. So we are both millennials. And it's also considered Generation Y. Okay.

So we're like Generation Y and millennials? Mm-hmm. Same thing. Huh. So some people call it Generation Y. I don't know. I'm going to have to look this up. I feel like...

Okay. Millennials or Generation Y is born 1977 to 1995. Wow. Yeah. You barely made the cut, Kail. Listen, I was born in 92. I had a solid three years. You barely made the cut.

I was like slap dab in the middle. Yeah, for sure. Okay, so do you remember back when like McDonald's toys used to be cool? Yeah. I mean, they're probably still cool because Jackson loves them. Yeah? Yeah, my kids love them too. He loves to go to McDonald's and get toys.

But they were better back then. They were better back then, I feel like. Better quality, I would say. Yeah. So do you remember when like, okay, beanie babies? Beanie babies were my jam. Like, I literally would get the tag protectors. I thought that they were going to be worth money.

Like I thought one day I could put them on eBay. Oh, yeah. And we were, I didn't even know about the internet, but I don't know where I thought I was going to sell them. But we were going to sell them, that's for sure. Yeah. My granddad told me that they were going to be. super like worth like tons of money and he was like beanie babies one day are going to be worth so much

money you need to save them and you need to make sure they're all protected so we had the tag protectors we had everything even whenever McDonald's came out with a beanie baby collection for toys I literally collected every beanie baby that they came out with but like if you was obsessed yeah but if you look back and you're like okay yeah you have all these beanie babies but like looking back what the fuck is a be Beanie Baby because why would they be worth money? I know. You know what I'm saying?

Like they are literally bags filled with beans and they have a tag on them. Yeah. And they're shaped like an animal. Why would we think that? So I remember specifically that like when the McDonald's would change over the Beanie Baby, like the, you know, on the weekly changeover, I would call around. Like I would get in the phone book. Like.

You didn't. Oh, phone books are part of the 90s. Yeah. I would get in the phone book at my grandma's house. and would find the McDonald's numbers. To see which ones they had, which ones that you didn't have. I would call all the McDonald's and find out which ones that I didn't have. Oh, my God.

Write it down. And I remember going to Greenville, South Carolina, to get a platypus. No. Thai beanie baby. No, you didn't. Yes, it did. And my grandpa has all of the beanie babies. You should try to sell them and see what happens.

In his safe. Would anybody buy them? That's a tweet for us. You guys should tweet us and let us know if you would buy. The Beanie Babies from McDonald's. They have never been opened. They're in crisp condition. They're probably one of a kind.

Oh, that reminds me of another toy from the 90s. And I want to say it's from the 90s and not the early 2000s. Furbies? Furbies, yeah. That's from the 90s, right? I don't know if Furbies are 90s. I feel like they might be millennial things. 2000, you think?

Let me look it up. I got to look this up. But I did have a Furby. And I thought they were weird. Let me look it up. Furby. I had one Furby and I cried for it for months because I wanted it so bad. bad. All right, let's look this up. So we found out, we found out that we are millennials. And when

did Furbys come out? But there was two releases on Furby's. 1998. 1998, okay. Well, there was two releases on Furbies, though. They had like the original release and then they had a different release on Furbies. Does that make sense? Yeah. Let's, okay, all things 90s. I think the one that we had was black. I had a gray one that was like grayish and with like black spots. Yeah. And I really just was obsessed with the Furby. But I never got mine to talk like the way that, you know, if you like repeat certain things like you could talk and make them talk back. Yeah. I never got that far with mine. You just kind of gave up on it. I just wanted it because I felt like it was like the thing.

Like a lot of people had it. Yeah. And then I hated it. I hated it. I didn't like it either. I wasn't really a fan of the Furby. I'm not going to lie. Lisa Frank. Lisa Frank. Are you kidding? Where is she? Is she still designing things? Lisa. I feel like Vera Bradley is like the 90s is like the new version of like what Lisa Frank.

Yeah. I remember those like velvet things that had they were like black velvet posters and you colored in the patterns and the designs. And a lot of them were Lisa Frank. Yeah. Or like the journals that you like zip open that were Lisa Frank. Trapperkeeper. Trapper keeper. Trapper keeper.

I know all about it. Hold on. Yes. The Lisa Frank. Trapperkeeper. Are you kidding? Did you ever have blowup furniture? Yes. I had an entire living room set of blowup furniture. Yeah. That was the thing. That was this, there's this girl sitting on one. I would do anything for that blowup chair. I wanted this chair and I would have done anything for it. I got it. Yeah. Like that's so funny.

The inflatable furniture was my thing. After Barbies. I'm pretty sure it was like immediately after Barbie's. That's what you transitioned into. Yeah. Like after Barbies, it was an automatic transition of. I'm getting every Lisa Frank folder. If it's not Lisa Frank, I'm not using it. Yeah. And I need Lisa Frank pencils. Oh, yeah. Oh, what about the Lisa Frank erasers? Yeah, and the Trapperkeeper.

Trapperkeeper. I had a Lisa. Okay, you want me tell you something? Tell me. Oh, my gosh. So whenever I was in first grade, I had a club and I would not let people in my club unless they had all Lisa Frank stuff. No, you did it. Yes.

No. Yes. Oh, Lisa. What did you call it? It should have been like Lindsay Frank. But it was Lisa Frank. It's the Lisa Frank. And if you did not have Lisa Frank. You couldn't be in the club.

You weren't in the club. And now I realized how mean that was because what if somebody couldn't afford Lisa Frank? And I just had to get the like basic folder. And you could have you ever one of yours. Oh, I was not giving up. Lisa Frank. No. Lisa Frank was never being given up.

Oh my gosh. And like cassette tapes. Hold on. I'm going through this list because. Yeah. So I think in the 90s, that's when like. pagers were like cool yes i always wanted a pager you but i don't even know what i would have done with a pager i just thought they were weird if someone paged me you'd have to go to a pay phone and like page someone

and the number would come up across on the screen yeah you know what i'm saying so it's almost like an alert like yo go to a phone and call me that's what it was i don't think you could leave messages on pagers could you yeah you can't i think so so how would you get it or do you remember the car phones that had Like, they were, like, in a bag in your car. Yeah. My mom had one. Yeah. Kail, I feel like you were rich.

No, it wasn't. Your mom had a car phone. You were rich. No, my mom just needed it for other reasons. Like, she had to get her fixed somehow. Okay. Well, I wasn't rich, but, um, no, because I would have got the game boy. She would have got it for me.

You just, you, you know, you're traumatized over the game boy. The game boy was a real. real struggle for me to get and I never got one to this day I've never had one I feel like if you even got a Game Boy you would not have even played with it you know what I wanted it that bad I might have I might have um those skippets but I want to say skipits from the 2000s get not cool skipits were not cool I must have had 12 of them because I would get so into it that I'd like snap one hold on I'm about to look this up because I know it's a thing kill was so into the skippets that she snapped it I was like I would like trip but I was like determined to beat my

score. Hold on. Skip it. Toy. Oh my God. Let's see when they came out. I bet it was like way before the 90s. A freaking skipit. Wow. The first skipit came out in the 80s. What did I say? Damn. I knew that sounded like something like those. Grandma's jumping on trampolines. The infamous 90s skippet commercial was filmed. Yes. No, I definitely played with it in the 90s. But the original one came out in the 60s. Well, I know you didn't play with in the 80s because you weren't alive. Well, right. But I knew they had one in the 90s. Like I knew. that was a thing. But I'm telling you, seriously, the skip it sounds like something, like what I imagine

when I think of skip it, I imagine like those little old school like little trampolines that grandmas go on to get like cardio, you know, and they're like, that is not what I, that's not how I skipped it. I know, but that's what it like reminds me of. Really? Like I think like somebody, oh my gosh, I know something else. What? Okay.

Do you remember, okay, this is so stupid. But do you remember whenever those little recorder things came out and it had like one song on it? With the clips that you stick. Hit clips. Hit clips. Is that what you're talking about? Yes. They're like.

And like you could attach them together like all with like the little keychain. I got to look it up. I got you. I'm pretty sure they're called like clip it. Like with the little keychain. Yeah. Clippets. Oh my God.

Do you remember that? Yeah, I never owned one of these either. Okay, so I don't... But I definitely wanted one. I owned a lot of clippets. And let me tell you about the clippets. Wow, you were really spoiled. Yes, I was very spoiled child.

Because I never got one. So I had like a million clippets, I feel like. I know, that's what I'm saying. I'm jealous of your life because I definitely never had the Game Boy. I never had Barbies convertible. I never had clipits. But I knew what they were. I even had a Barbie's convertible that I drove in.

Did you get the dream house? I don't think I had the dream house. Okay, because I'm going to tell you a story. So I had this, like, best friend when I was. growing up and she was also an only child. Like my two best friends were also only children. And they were so spoiled. But I was with them all the time because we were best friends. And the one girl, Shelby, she had literally anything and everything you could imagine of Barbie. She had this Barbie dream house that literally was taller than me. Never once played with it. And she had every convertible,

every car, everything. And this is like one of those things where like you don't even play with it. So why can't I have it? Right. Yeah. But she never let me have it. Because it was her stuff. Because it was her stuff, but she didn't play with it. You don't know if she didn't play with it when she was not with you. She told me she didn't play with it. She's like, and I would go over there.

I'm like, do you want to play Barbies? And she's like, no. Okay, fine. And you just wanted this stuff because you wanted to play by yourself. I wanted to play by myself. The thing about the clippets, I wanted them so bad. And I wanted like every song. And I remember that I was told that I could not get the clippet that had Shaggy on there.

Why? Because of the words? Because of the words. Okay. And I was determined that I was going to get that clip it. So my grandparents took me to Walmart and I got it because they didn't know what Shaggy was. They were like, oh, this is just a clip. That song was big in the 90s.

Yeah. Yeah. So just so that my parents wouldn't know that I was listening to it, I would get on my bike and I would ride it to the end to the end and get back, the song would be over. Oh, perfect timing. perfect timing and that would just change my little clip it out. Did they ever find out if you had? Rock into like Destiny's Child or something. Oh yeah.

Hell yeah. Yeah. But no, they, I don't think they still know. Oh. Like they probably know now. I used to have like CDs were just coming out. Like they were just becoming big or whatever. So I'd have like the cassette, like the tapes and the CDs of things.

And I would get so frustrated at the cassettes because like you'd have to like, man, you could like manually rewind them. But also the tape would come out. And I would get so frustrated because. I was in love with Hanson at the time. Do you remember that band? Okay, but I wasn't a Hanson fam. You weren't?

No. Wow. Who did you like? We didn't talk about that. But literally Hanson was all I knew. I was going to marry Isaac Hanson. No, you weren't. Yeah, I was.

You thought you were, but you weren't. I was going to marry him. And I'm pretty sure I had, like, their biography books. I had their album, their cassette tape, a poster. Like, I think I would, like, I don't know. Zach was my imaginary friend. As much as you were obsessed with Hanson, I was obsessed. obsessed with spice girls. I love, see, that was my, that was my girl band. That was my girl band. And I was

going to be sporty spice if you were going to be sporty. Yeah. Okay. Well, I was going to be baby spice. I could see that for sure. I knew it. I knew it. Um, no. She was the cutest, right? She was cute, but like, she was also very girly. And she actually, like, the colors that I picture for you are like light blue, pink. And like, that's how I picture baby spice. Like, I was sporty and scary. So I could totally see you being sporty spice because I feel like she wore black all the time and she was a tomboy and she liked like all like weird stuff. So are you saying I'm weird? Well like kind of because okay well why. I'm not like you. I'm very tomboy I would say like I'm not girly unless someone helps me be girly. Yeah I feel like I'm helping you. Yeah you're definitely helping me. Actually

appreciate it though because you know I feel like I need to add a little glitter to your life. Yeah glitter in my life or something so it's helpful. But I feel like I'm feel like I fit, like if I was going to be a spice girl, I wanted to be baby spice so bad. Yeah, if you were like dressing up for Halloween, I would say baby spice and like the two little pigtails that she used to do like the little knots. What were they? They were baby spice, she made that. She made that your style. Oh yeah. Ginger spice spice. I love, now I love Victoria Beckham. Like she's great. Well, I mean, I love her, but it's just like totally unrealistic. She was like, I feel like she was always the forgotten spice girl. You think? Like when me and my friends, she was the most popular spice girl.

Really? Yeah. See, I really. See, I really. feel like when me and my girlfriends would like dress up or like play spice girls like I don't know if y'all did that if we did were weird but um we would always forget about posh like no one would be posh spice but now everyone's obsessed with victoria backer did you have somebody that would be baby spice yeah everyone want to be baby spice but except for me because i'm obviously a boy but it's like i'm the original baby spice yeah i can see that so back off um or okay so were you backstreet boys or in sync back street boys okay i was in sync isn't back street boys the i want to it that way? Yeah, it was. That was backstreet boy. One more time. How was that? I was both. I was a fan of both. I had both albums,

but I think my preference definitely was in sync over Backstreet Boys. Okay, so my obsession with Spice Girls was like in an all-time high. Even when I like Spice Girls, I had every Spice Girl Barbie. And it was so hard to find Ginger. You couldn't find Ginger anywhere. Yes, I had that same problem. And I called every Walmart and finally found one Ginger. And did you get her? And I got her. Oh, wow. I never, I always had four because I could never find ginger. I was determined. I must have had Walmart on Speed doll. I was calling for everything. So yeah, but who were, who did you like Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera? Britney Spears. Okay. But, but I liked dirty when Christina came out with like. I was like in the 2000s. I had a really hard time. Same thing with like, if I really had to choose

between Backstreet Boys and Incinct, it would be in sync, but I also love Backstreet Boys. so much. Same thing for Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears. I never, it was always both for me. But then there were, I always liked them both. But I feel like it was such a rival. It was. Same thing for like, um, like you could not be Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears. Like, you were one or the other. Yeah. And I was hit me baby one more time. I might have been Jeannie in a bottle for sure. You're definitely a genie in a bottle. Yeah. Okay. So I will tell you, I think I was like maybe in I must have been in second or third grade

when Jeannie and a bottle came out Would that have been about right? I feel like I was in like Maybe fourth grade Jeannie in a bottle I definitely did it for a talent show one year And I was older I was riding in the car with my dad

With one of my friends Her name was Courtney And we were riding in the car with my dad And I think that she had either been over to my house Or I'd been over to her house And Jeannie in a bottle came on And when You all went nuts huh?

Like, we went nuts because we loved the song. And when my dad heard it and said, it said rub it the right way, I thought he was going to come unglued. Like, I really thought he was going to come unglued. That's so funny. He, like, lost it. I mean, I don't think he lost it on us, but, like, mentally he was losing it. I feel like I love Jessica Simpson and, like, Nick Lechay and all, but they were, like, he was 98 degrees.

98 degrees was, like, was like a poor man's, like. In sync and Backstreet Boys. And same thing for like Jessica Simpson. Well, yeah. Like, I mean, wasn't Jessica Simpson part of the Mickey Mouse Club or did she get booted out? I don't know. Because wasn't that where Christine Aguilier and Britney Spears came from was the Mickey Mouse Club? Yeah.

But like nobody really like, like they were also like a boy band, 90 degrees. And then Jessica Simpson was also like a solo artist. Solo artist. But like I don't feel like any of my friends ever like picked her over Britney or Christina. Yeah, no. And nobody ever picked 98 degrees over. like, Extra poison.

It just like wasn't a thing. No. Wasn't a thing. I will tell you, though. My first celebrity crush was Nick Lachey. Who was my first celebrity crush? You know what? I don't think I had.

I think it was Joey Fetone from Insink. Which is like totally not my type now. Like if you would tell me now that I would like a grown man with like a beard, like, oh, no. So what do you like? Like, I think a beard's cute. A beard is nice. But I don't think that I would. pick someone who looks like Joey Fatone.

No, you definitely wouldn't. So, like, that's, like, really weird. I don't know. Okay, but I would still, like, my first celebrity crush was Nicklachie and it would still be Nicklachey. Even now? Like, still today. Yeah, I'm not really, I don't think I could say the same for Joey Patone.

Like, even though he's got, like, three kids and a wife. Does he have three kids? Yeah, he's got three kids and a wife, but he's still as hot today. He's good looking. Like, as I thought he was. I'm really upset still about his divorce from Jessica Simpson. Do you remember tuna by the sea, like chicken by the sea? Yeah.

Their show. What was that newlyweds? That is me. That is me. That show was so funny. That was a good show. Like I wanted to be. The weird thing is, is like I love them as a couple, but I wanted to be his wife.

It doesn't work that way, Lindsay. It just doesn't. I mean, I liked him as a couple and like they were jiving and like all that. But I'm just like, you know what? I could be his wife so much better. Okay. Well, you know what? At like 15.

You're like, no. No. When I was watching newlyweds, I was obsessed. Yeah. I think I was like in middle school or high school. school and that show can go to gymnastics come home take shower and I would be plopped up on my bed watching newlyweds because I was so obsessed with him I only watched it for him I can't relate like I watched it but not religiously like you don't think he's hot no I can't like handsome like he's okay good looking but I'm not like oh my god nicolchet I am like oh my god nicolchet I am like oh my god Like, I can't.

Okay. Fair enough. Like, I would get giddy. Like, I would lose my show. Like, now, if you saw him? Absolutely. Okay. Yeah.

I would lose my shit. Can't relate. Can't relate. Can't relate. He's so hot. So, like, who was your first celebrity crush? Isaac Hanson. I told you this.

Oh, yeah. That's right. And then Taylor and then Zach Hanson. So you liked all the Hanson? Yes. I would have married any of them, but mainly Isaac. Mainly. Mainly.

I loved them. Oh, I named my son Isaac Isaac Hansen, okay? Yeah. Like, Kiel, do you remember, like, I keep saying back in the day, like it was so long ago? No, the 90s was like yesterday. Yeah, it was like yesterday. But I say back in the day because it makes me feel like grown. But do you remember when like PowerAid was like a big deal? No. Like, I feel like it was a big deal. And like Frutopia, like whenever it came out. What's Futopia? I grew up in the 90s and I don't know what fruit. It's like that juice drink. I just remember those like cool aid like in the plastic containers and it was like wrapped in plastic, too know what I'm talking about. Cool aid wrapped in plastic. And it was like the like you like can squeeze them. Capriessen? No, not Capricon.

Maybe in the 90s the preson took off. But like. Capriza took off. I don't know. No, but they were like it was like Kool-Aid brand and you can get like a package of six of them and they were like in a plastic bottle. and it had like, you can get them in blue or red. Oh, yes. They were like squeezy.

Like everyone was obsessed with those. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Okay. Do you remember those little candies that were like wax candies? And they had a little juice in them. They were shaped like a bottle. Yes. I lived for those. Like I would walk to the corner store and I was getting me some wax candy. Okay.

Well, I was not walking to the corner store. Well, I was walking. You know what? It killed me. My mom wasn't around. So I walked to the damn corner store. Okay. Well, you walked to the corner store.

That's okay. I didn't. We ate the same candy, though. Do you remember the things that, like, you, they were in, like, a, it just felt like a cheap, like, little package and you rip the top off and, like, you sprinkle the dust in your mouth? Pixie. Pixie sticks. Yeah, I remember those. Or, like, did you ever see the dots that was, like, on the paper? Yeah, but I hated those. I hated those. I didn't taste like anything. Oh, see, I just didn't like getting the paper in my mouth. Yeah. They just didn't taste like anything.

What else? Like I was obsessed with like I was obsessed with like the makeup stuff Like and I'm still obsessed with like Oh see I never got into the makeup thing Because one time I put nail polish in my hair Did you have a caboodle? What's that?

Like you were not cool if you didn't have a caboodle Well I wasn't cool then I also wore overalls until I was like 16 so Okay You wore them literally until they came back It's fine Okay but caboodle

Like all your little makeup in it Like your little like roll your little like roller like your glitter roller? Glitter rollers Yeah I know I didn't It was just kind of like I threw them in whatever like little handbag I got it was probably like a Lisa Frank handbag and then what else was big in the 90s just you know what I was really excited for

And it wasn't obviously in the 90s but was when that Rugrats movie came back like Rugrats have been gone for so long already and then I was like obsessed when they were like Grown and they had a movie or was it a show? Okay so I think like Rugrats was I'm going to go out on a limb and say that just Nickelodeon was cool. Yeah, I was definitely a Nickelodeon baby. Yeah. Like now there's like Disney babies.

Everyone's obsessed with Disney, but I was never obsessed with Disney. I was always Nickelodeon. Never, never. Like, Nickelodeon was my jam. Yeah. Like it was where it was at. Like I still watched Nick at night when I was in college. Oh, same.

Oh my God. I still watch it now. What comes on it now? George Lopez. George Lopez, fresh prints, full house, like the whole night. Like, okay. Yeah. That's worth it.

Okay. So I also think that something else was. like really, really cool back in the 90s was the bath and body works, like lotions and stuff that have the shimmer in it. Oh my gosh. I don't think I ever got any, but I know my friends had them and I would use them. And they smelled so good. They were like super fruity, right? Yeah, super fruity. And they just smelled like everything was fruity. I feel like in the 90s. The girls used. Oh my God. And literally, everything had glitter and fruit. Like what about suave? Everyone used suave. Everybody used suave. Now it's like the dollar store thing. Yeah. I know. I don't. I would never use

suave now. I don't feel like it's a dollar anymore. I think it still is. That's why I probably wouldn't use it. Or I mean, was it a dollar then? Maybe it wasn't a dollar then. Now it's a dollar. It probably was. Our parents were just being cheap. Yeah, I don't like suave. I remember like this like detangler I used to use. It was in like, oh, detangler. It was in like this like green bottle with like an orange cap or I think it was like a red bottle with a green cap and it was like super fruity and you always had it. Yeah. You always wanted to use it after the shower or the bath. Yeah. Because it made you smell so good. Yeah. Yeah. I remember that. detangler was the shit. Yeah, everyone had detangler.

But it's like now I don't even think kids know what the detangler is. Yeah. No. Nobody knows what tanglers is. I also have boys, so I don't know what girls use. But like what do we play, like in the 90s? I feel like we played outside all the time. I was outside all the time.

Other than when I was playing Barbies. Oh, yeah. But it was Barbies first. And if I couldn't play Barbies, I was outside. Yeah. Like even playing with sticks and shit. And I'm a girl. So like in the mud.

I'm pretty sure I've had a couple mud baths. Oh my God. I actually did have a mud bath whenever I was a little kid. I always. to play in the rain all the time. Yeah. Yeah. I had a good time as a kid. Despite like my like fucked up family. Like I swear my like my childhood was like a fun time. Yeah. I feel like I miss being a kid. Yeah. I don't feel like my kids go outside just to get dirty. No. Although now like the rule in my house is like you go outside unless it's raining. You're outside playing. Yeah. So I want them to like play

with sticks and stuff like I did. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. I think like back in the 90s things were so much different. Like, I feel like people had like, where I grew up, people had parties at like the bowling alley or like at the skating rink or stuff like that. Yeah, you don't really find birthday parties like that now. I feel like I don't feel like anybody has birthday parties like that now. But like the options of places. Yeah. Have changed. Well, and I feel like they didn't have like inflatable places and like indoor trampoline parks and stuff like that when we were growing up. So it was so different. Like slumber parties. Like I thought it was so cool when. I got to have a party at the skating rink. I thought they were so cool. I only had two birthday parties growing up. One was at my house and one was at the hair salon my mom worked up. And like did you get your hair done? Yeah.

That one was like cute. Yeah, I was going to say it was cute. But it was like the only one that was like actually a party. Because like I had like five girls and then we got our hair done and maybe like painted our nails or something. But like kids still sleep over with each other. I feel like that was a huge thing in the 90s. Yeah.

Like I remember having so many sleepovers to like. Like, do people have sleepovers now? I don't think kids have sleepovers, like, as much as they did. I would never trust, like, for Jackson to go to a sleepover. Would you let Isaac Burlington go to a sleepover? Like of my best friends, yeah, but like just kids from school, probably not. Yeah, yeah, I would never allow that. Like, Jackson would never be able to go to a sleepover ever.

Yeah. I feel like everybody, once you listen to this episode, you should go on Twitter. And tell us your favorite things from the 90s. Yes. And we can do like a. recap if we missed something. I'll go up on, I'll pull up my Twitter the next time we have an episode and I'll mention whoever mentions like cool stuff from the 90s. Yeah, that would be great. And I was also wondering if people would like to do call-ins. Like, do you feel like we should do that?

Yeah. How do you feel about that? Collins? Yeah. That would be cool. I think people would love that. Yeah. So we would like post a time that people would call and then. They should call first come first. Make the hotline blink. Yeah, no, that would be so fun. I think it would be so fun. Okay, so we're going to try to work on that. Okay, guys, well, we will see you guys next week. Have a great afternoon.

Bye.
