We are BACK baby! We have had lots of life changes in the last 1.5 year hiatus but we decided to bring back the pod to all five of our amazing and dedicated listeners. We start out with a recap of a little Facebook drama Danielle found herself in followed by a deep discussion on Money Orders (what are they? Who uses them? Should they be capitalized in this description?). There is also a throwback to a few trademark "appointment" TV shows (X-files, anyone?). Steph's Feb 21, 2006 entry is a cringe-fest heavily influenced by jam band music and Danielle's Jan 21, 2006 entry, inspired by a Barnes & Noble bargain-bin book, ends up leading her down a modern-day 2026 rabbit hole.

Things we mention:

The X-Files (Hulu)

The Carman Family Deaths (Netflix)

Epinions.com (now Shopping.com)

Sasha Cagen (Life Coach behind the Quirkyalone, Pussywalking movements)

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

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?!"
