Many of us GenXers may have only been twentysomething, but we couldn’t get enough of thirtysomething! Join us as we share our BIG feelings about the show that made us all want to be part of that group of friends who were like big brothers and sisters to us, teaching us how to navigate an adult life we might not have been ready for, but sure had our eyes on. What was it about this show that wasn’t even about our generation but spoke SO loudly to it?!? We’ll try to figure it out! Plus, find out which host thinks she’s an Ellyn, who’s pre-husband was in advertising so was basically Michael, and which host thought she and her college boyfriend (now husband) looked so much like a younger-version of Hope and Michael she had pictures of them next to each other on her bulletin board. MAKE SURE TO LISTEN TO THE END OF THE EPISODE to find out a HUGE surprise re: next week’s episode!
