For this week’s DadChat, Nate and Francis examine just what would constitute an ‘I remember the 2000s’ cultural encapsulation. As someone who literally owned an ‘All Your Base Are Belong to Us’ shirt (Nate) and a guy who experienced the red ring of death on an Xbox 360 (Francis), we simply know the source material too well. Also in this episode: Nate having to wage war against the British postal service because one guy apparently has the power to send your mail to the bottom of the ocean if he doesn’t want to load a heavy package on a truck.   Like Hell of a Way?
