We are back! Well, really, mentally we never left - but Danielle DID have a baby so we get a pass, right? We talk about social anxiety and Danielle's motherhood experience so far - but more importantly, Steph issues an apology to Paula Cole for giving Sarah McLachlan credit for the Dawson's Creek theme song.

Danielle shares a few entries with supportive comments from Steph, including her experience with a bizarre Twilight Zone locker. Steph updates her LJ from computer lab and we reminisce about crashing each other's classes. We also talk about syndicated radio, why Steph has someone's mother's class ring, and historical events that happened on Steph's birthday (April 27).

Things we mention:

VAMP

Cometeer Coffee (ask Steph for her referral code for a discount!)

Saltburn

Zone of Interest

Leave the World Behind

Everything is Fine by Vince Granada

Archie Moore's

The Storyteller by Dave Grohl

Love Songs from Delilah

We are recording LIVE from Steph’s living room (which means you can feel free to skip past the first 90 seconds of complete cat shenanigans). Danielle shares her thoughts after finally meeting the Archaeologist and we reminisce about old music that’s held up over the years. We share about a few of our favorite CT spots (besides Dunkin, of course) and ponder the actual flavor of Fruity Pebbles. For entries, Danielle mini-deep dives into the Motorola Rokr, the Athenian Diner and Myspace Top 8. Steph shares some tantalizing Halloween costume drama, humble-brags about not being on a school bus for all of senior year, and a field trip spent trolling original Monets. 

Also - “what are ya’ll doing if you’re not rating and reviewing us?!”

In the words of Steph after editing this is episode: “it’s a longy!” We start off strong by setting limits around Danielle’s on-air gas passing. We share our co-review of Scamanda and Danielle fills us in on the latest Last Podcast on the Left tea. We naturally segue into the never-ending millennial burden of TOO MANY DAMN OPTIONS/FOMO especially when it comes to parenting styles.

For our entries, Danielle’s entry covers the idealism of young love (AKA setting the absolute lowest bars ever) and dating local rock stars. She also shares about a day in her life without her cellphone in 2005. Steph’s 2003 entry takes us down a 12-browser-tab mini Time Capsule/deep-dive into Livejournal: the days when you needed an invite code to join, the LJ commercial, and LJ’s evil twin, deadjournal.
