    Lesli and Will discuss infomercials of the 90s. If you lived in the 90s, then you must remember waking up at 2 AM on the couch, listening to the ramblings of the Flowbee or Buns of Steel. Put on a bow tie and talk real fast, and you could have sold us anything! Somewhere along the way, Lesli and Will veer into the awkwardness that was Adult Movie sections of video stores of the 90s. Listen as Lesli trauma dumps and makes in-the-moment realizations about what she thought was an average teenager’s job.

    Disclaimer: There are many friends I have who I mention a lot in the episodes. They’re my besties. The father discussed in this episode is NOT on of my bestie’s fathers. Their fathers were fabulous and probably only rented family comedies. ♥️

    Will and Lesli discuss the 90s craze - Beanie Babies. These pellet-filled little animals took the nation— and The-Rachel-Haircut-Moms by storm. They made their way through shops, McDonalds, and Divorce Proceedings. People waited on line and swallowed their pride to buy everything from Legs the Frog to the Princess Diana Bear. While Lesli and Will never fell into the hype, it didn’t keep these Ty productions from making making millions in the 90s.
