Remember the smell of a fresh pack of squirrel air fresheners? Neither do we, but that didn't stop Jody and me from diving into another episode loaded with humor and a healthy dose of nostalgia. We'll take you on a trip down memory lane, back to the days when Reese's cups were best served cold, and a Mother's Day ring could be a 'Walmart special.' It's a journey through our everyday misadventures, including a curious encounter with a goose and its goslings that had our dogs second-guessing their bravery.

Imagine waking up on a Saturday morning, cereal bowl in hand, ready for cartoons—except now you're all grown up and the cartoons have changed. We've got you covered with a rollicking reflection on the TV shows that molded us, from the wisecracking "ALF" to the heartfelt "Full House," and the Saturday morning powerhouses of animation. Hear us chuckle over the mix-ups and mayhem of the 80s and 90s as we question whether today's entertainment could handle the edginess of "The Simpsons" or the heartfelt adventures of "Punky Brewster."

When the skies darkened and the storm rolled in, our pets' antics gave us more than just a good laugh—it gave us warmth and a reminder of life's simple joys. Join us as we share tales of Winston the Yorkie's heroic stand, our Chihuahua's relentless spirit, and the quirky moments that bind us to our furry friends. Through all the laughter and fur-fueled drama, this episode is about embracing the unpredictable and finding the humor in the storm. So, plug in your headphones and let's weather this nostalgia-filled episode together!

I thought you were going to say granddaddy, long legs, no.

Speaker 1:

And he ain't going nowhere. And he flapped them wings and he, him and winston kind of got into it and he like, he like, threw down with his feet towards winston. I think they've got like this little dagger claw on the back of their heel or something like that. So he meant business, he wasn't afraid of winston, but I'll give it to winston, he wasn't afraid of granddaddy either. So winston's all bark.

Yeah, because it bothers me. It's been, yeah, a week now and I still I can't get used to it. Yeah, Because on my other one I wore down the edges. Yeah, this has an, It'll be all right. I was thinking about this week the TV that we grew up on in the 80s and 90s. Not everybody can say 80s because they weren't born yet. You know, that's the thing with that other podcast I do with Spencer. He was born in 2000. So a lot of the stuff that I talk about, he has no clue. He might have heard of something I'm talking about, but he doesn't know anything besides that.

Speaker 1:

So not his fault, but he's a young'un, but speaking of the 80s, you would know what I'm talking about, right.

Speaker 2:

I was young in the 80s, so maybe, so I'm just going to go through.

Speaker 1:

I watched the 90s. Let's do this. What can you think of right now? What's your earliest memory of a TV show? It might be a cartoon.

Speaker 2:

Alf just popped in my head for some reason.

Speaker 1:

But I bet that's not the earliest.

Speaker 2:

No, that's probably not the earliest, because I think that was the 90s yeah.

Speaker 1:

I'm sure that's on our list somewhere down here.

Speaker 2:

Well, you got Bugs Bunny.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you know, I never was, that was our thing. I liked Tom and Jerry, I think out of all of them I wasn't Flintstones, I wasn't the Jetsons.

Speaker 2:

Oh, I loved the Flintstones. I loved the Jetsons.

Speaker 1:

Looney Tunes wasn't really a thing. I liked Looney Tunes, it was just Tom and Jerry. Well, I guess all that Sylvester the Cat.

Yeah, probably, maybe I should be rocking some Just For Men on mine.

Speaker 2:

No, I like the pepper, pepper salt and pepper, salt and pepper.

Speaker 1:

It's about to be all salt.

Speaker 2:

It seems like salt and pepper that's a group let's see what else I grew up with that group. Yeah, that's all on my list but you used to only have three to four channels, so you didn't have much of a choice I think, I kind of like it that way. We sit in here for 20 and 30 minutes looking for something to watch, I know, because you've got too much variety.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, exactly Well, it's the same way of going to the grocery store and you want Pop-Tarts? Well, that's why I buy groceries online. You need it, and.

Speaker 2:

I don't go and look at all the variety. I get what I want and that's it Okay.

Speaker 1:

I'd rather go.

Speaker 2:

No, not me. Yeah, the one that won't go through a drive-thru, but he'll go in the store.

Speaker 1:

That's right. I know that makes sense.

Speaker 2:

It looks like convenience is what I would be looking for, but who got him in the drive-thru yesterday?

Speaker 1:

That's the first time in a long time time. But guess who didn't say anything?

Speaker 2:

when they said you had to lean over and order.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, because I don't. If I'm going to the drive-thru somebody else is ordering, I don't know if we're. We never have told anybody that though that's my weird thing.

Speaker 2:

I go.

Speaker 1:

You told your boys no, I did not that. Nothing came up about somebody else ordering oh I didn't think nothing about it. Yeah, you never order. Yeah, they'd have got a kick out of it because it was crazy. I gotta reach all the way across.

Speaker 2:

And then he closes his eyes because I'm loud, I'm like, well, I don't know if they can hear me.

Speaker 1:

You're busting my right eardrum as you're screaming out to the lady so she can hear you on the speaker.

Speaker 2:

I want a cookies and cream milkshake Extra thick.

Speaker 1:

And then they say you hear that.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and I said excuse, said excuse me. She said pull around. I said well, how much is it? Don't turn around, thanks because if you are with my husband, you're gonna pay cash, so I need to get my cash ready.

Speaker 1:

That's right, I ain't paying with no card. Are you gonna have to sit there and wait on me? I better get used to it because it won't be too.

Speaker 2:

I need to get my cash ready. That's right. I ain't paying with no card. Are you going to have to sit there and wait on me.

Speaker 1:

I better get used to it, because it won't be too long and it's going to be all card or nothing. Digital currency that's where we're going September United Nations. They're having a meeting.

Speaker 2:

They're going to be talking about digital currency A worldwide currency. Wait.

Speaker 1:

It's happening. Why are you pointing it's all coming true from the simpsons? No, it's called that book, called the bible from the simpsons called revelation. Oh, I'm sure you could probably go back and somewhere on one of the episodes of the simpsons they've got where we're going to a digital currency so the bible says september 2024 is when it's going to happen.

Speaker 2:

I'm not going to go quite that far but I'm talking about to where everybody yeah, if you don't know what I'm talking about, read it.

Speaker 1:

How about that? Did you watch Unsolved Mysteries?

Speaker 2:

I loved Unsolved Mysteries yeah.

Speaker 1:

It's nothing like a show that you would want to watch today.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's nothing like what a show that you would want to watch today. Yeah, you know it. Yeah, so can you find most of these shows still on somewhere? Not still on, but reruns of most of these shows somewhere? Can you stream it somewhere?

Speaker 1:

oh, I'm sure you can. I would just about bet what is life with louis? 94 to 98, that's louis Anderson. That's the animation that he had.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Did you watch the Monsters? I know that's old, that's in the 60s.

Speaker 2:

Did you know that was?

Speaker 1:

only on for like two years.

Speaker 2:

You never watched, I don't.

Speaker 1:

You know, I had a time, a window of opportunity, I guess you'd say, and I think it was like when I was at my grandparents' house, like either early in the morning before school or like late in the evening when we got out of school. So whatever was on TV is what I watched, and so if it was like Gilligan's Island, the Munsters, stuff like that, then that's why I watched it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

So that's why these kids nowadays don't watch it, because I mean, it's available, it's out there, but there's so much other stuff available, plus these little boxes in their hand, that they can just.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, from time they get up to time they go to bed.

Speaker 1:

Between that and gaming playing Call of Duty and Fortnite and Minecraft and whatever else. Seventh Heaven, yes.

Speaker 2:

Speaker 1:

Now, this was getting up into the late 90s, so is that all we used to do was watch TV. Seems like it.

Speaker 1:

Well, you think about this well, the thing about it back then was monday through friday you had a different sitcom or something coming on every night and they're 30 minutes long, so you could have three or four different sitcoms come on per night and that's why you know so many right uh, dawson's creek oh yes, but that was like 98 or 99.
