It’s time for hippies, the flea market, and the California Raisins, as we cover “That Was Then, This is Dumb,” on this week’s Morgendorks! Helen and Jake have some friends from their old hippie days visiting for the weekend, and they’re bringing that 60s lifestyle with ‘em. Meanwhile, Daria escapes to the flea market, where she helps Trent and Jessie unload some vintage vinyls.

For our Cultural Context, we dig yet again into hippies—but this time, taking a more in-depth look at the social and political importance of the movement. What did it really mean to “believe in stuff” back then?

Also: the California Raisins.
