"Get these guys an Emmy or something! Ain't nobody messed up, nobody missed a beat."

We stayed home sick sometimes and once the parents left for work, we made our way to the living room to commandeer the television set. But the cartoons and kids shows of the afternoon were still hours away, so we had to navigate the channels of soap operas, daytime talk shows and product-filled gameshows! We dive into the history of soap operas (why they're called "soaps"), the differences between Jerry Springer and Maury and bidding strategies for The Price is Right.

"This is the realest (Role Playing Game). I only get one shot at this."

"For people our age, Pokémon was a catastrophic event."

When we were kids, we trained and evolved monsters in a quest to become a Pokémon Master. We followed Ash Ketchum and Pikachu out of Pallet Town and into the Halls of the Pokémon League decades later. From waiting a week to watch a new episode of the TV show, to grinding through all the subsequent Nintendo video games, to trying to figure out how the trading card game worked, we talk about everything we remember during PokéMania. And also some Yu-Gi-Oh and Digimon dives!

"Why would a chop do that much damage?"

We envisioned ourselves flying off the top ropes, defeating our enemies and raising the Heavyweight Championship while witnessing the rise of the WWF through superstars and legends like The Rock, The Undertaker, Trish Stratus ahem- We connected with cousins and new friends through choreographed tag team walkouts, practice submission maneuvers and Pay Per View retellings from the one kid who watched it. We enter the squared circle to reminisce about our favorite wrestlers, the divas we'd fight people for, finishing moves that would actually work and whether we'd take a Bronco Buster or a Stink Face.

At the end of the episode, we mislabeled the #AtTheTime stats as 2003 but they actually ARE from 1997, when The Attitude Era began.

"There (was) nothing more vital to our digital upbringing than Myspace."

We introduce ourselves and the purpose of this podcast (nostalgia and posterity) before diving into the first viral social media platform the world had ever seen: Myspace, a place for friends. We go through Myspace's history, from its creation in August 2003 to Facebook overtaking it in 2009; how it first taught us to navigate the internet and social currency in the 2000s; and internet security measures (that we learned the hard way) that have become ingrained into our daily lives.
