You Feel Me, Dawg!
Episode 5: Millennial Toys
Ever wondered what made Furby toys both adored and feared by children of the '90s? Join us as we unravel the mystery behind these quirky, AI-like gadgets that kept us on our toes with their unexpected activations and multilingual capabilities. We kick off the episode with a playful discussion about our vibrant microphones and a whimsical fantasy about Keanu Reeves as our dream guest, setting an entertaining tone for our journey down memory lane. We even share some hilarious doppelganger stories, including a coach and a younger version of one host's dad, before diving into our main topic: childhood toys.
From Easy-Bake Ovens and Doodle Bears to Build-A-Bear Workshop, we explore the gamut of toys that defined our youth. Listen as we recount personal experiences, like using the wrong marker on a Doodle Bear or the distinct taste of Easy-Bake treats. We also reflect on gendered marketing strategies, marvel at the success of certain toys, and laugh about the omnipresent toy commercials that tempted us during Saturday morning cartoons. Our debate on the Barbie and Bratz movies, the recall of Sky Dancer Barbie, and the unique charm of Betty Spaghetti toys will surely resonate with anyone who treasures these childhood memories.
The nostalgia continues with conversations about the disciplined toy collectors who kept their Spice Girls dolls in mint condition and the excitement of fast food toy collections. We share stories about the joy of cereal box activities, the evolution of customer service in fast food joints, and the quirky fast food toys of our time. Whether it's reminiscing about colorful art supplies like milky glitter pens or recalling the simple pleasure of Lip Smackers, our podcast is a heartwarming tribute to the toys and memories that shaped our early years, all delivered with our signature millennial and ADHD vibes. Tune in for a delightful blend of humor, nostalgia, and unpredictable fun!
Pressing all the buttons. Pressing all the buttons, yeah, Pressing all the buttons pressing all the buttons, yeah. How many buttons do you have?

Feel Me Dog, I travis I'm kayla and I'm julia on this episode we are going to be talking about kids. Toys are toys as kids, because we all remember, don't we?
Speaker 1:I remember I remember, you remember, I remember yeah, we feel good this week, don't we just feel good this week, guys?
Speaker 2:hell yeah, happiness our mics good this week guys. Hell yeah Happiness.
Speaker 1:Our mics have colors on them. They just look so fresh and hippie hoppy.
Speaker 3:They are cool.
Speaker 1:I love it, dude, so much it just makes me feel good. Okay, I'll put a picture of them on the Instagram. Follow us, shout out, like and subscribe baby.
Speaker 2:Actually, though, in all seriousness, we are on YouTube, and if you subscribe and or watch us on YouTube, it actually benefits us a little bit more, which we recently found out.
Speaker 1:YouTube is awesome. Yeah, we're on YouTube.
Speaker 3:Help us make money so we can pay for Travis cancer treatment. Come on, guys.
Speaker 1:That's right, Guilt trip baby.
Speaker 2:We never set out to make money with this but it is cool that that could potentially happen because of youtube, so why not?
Speaker 3:yeah, exactly do you guys think kiana reeves would sponsor us?
Speaker 2:fuck I saw a picture of him very much in a podcast doing something and I was like how cool would that be? That'd be fucking awesome yeah I'll buy a fourth mic just for him okay, I bet he could buy his own, but but you're right, if he's our guest, we should probably be the ones to splurge.
Speaker 3:Yeah okay, speaking of keanu, I have to show you guys this video. I took it. It's called golden gloves and they come once a year for like six weeks or so and it's like amateur boxing, so fun. Yeah, I never thought it'd be something I would have enjoyed, but there's this coach there, identical to Keanu Reeves. I was losing my fucking mind and it's like one of those videos I just look at randomly. I'm like, yeah, fucking doppelganger.
Speaker 1:That's him right there.
Speaker 2:That's awesome Dude.
Speaker 1:I got a great doppelganger story of seeing my dad, my dad's younger self, up in Warsaw, Indiana. When we got a TV at Walmart. It was the fucking. It tripped me the fuck out. It literally was like a younger version of my dad, Whoa.
Speaker 3:It was fucking wild. Did you think so too, Kayla?
Speaker 2:I don't remember it oh.
Speaker 3:You don't care about Mark what?
Speaker 2:That's not what I said.
Speaker 1:But yeah, this is goofy, that's cool. Let's get into toys, guys. Let's start with the furby. You guys remember the?
Speaker 2:fucking creepy furbies. I never thought furby was creepy.
Speaker 1:I always enjoyed my furby well, it's creepy because they would be sitting by itself and it would start fucking talking.
Speaker 2:Actually, that's a good point you're right on right, because it was probably a switch right no, you're right.
Speaker 3:yeah, and it would just randomly open its eyes and then you could hear the blink. I think it's the blink that got me.
Speaker 1:Was that AI? It was kind of like the first AI toy, kind of Could you ask it questions.
Speaker 2:Yes, you could ask it questions.
Speaker 1:Fuck, we should have probably researched that before we started. No, you could talk to it and it would give you answers.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean, you could only ask you certain things obviously, but it's still a talk to you when I will see, like vintage ones now a lot of the fur is just dirty and maddie and they really don't for a vintage toy. They don't resell for very much right and I can't fucking imagine spending a shit ton of money on something that's just creepy and dirty uh, yeah, I mean, and it would turn its head too.
Speaker 2:So it would blink and turn its head. Yep, all right. Yeah, that's creepy if it just all of a sudden turned the head as you walk into the room it's like hi, I'm burby.
Speaker 3:The fact that there hasn't been a scary movie about this, oh my gosh five nights at freddy's.
Speaker 1:I mean, that's pretty much what that is right, I guess it's more like a Chuck E Cheese kind of deal right.
Speaker 2:That's why Chuck E Cheese got rid of their animatronics.
Speaker 3:They should have those are creepy as shit they're not there anymore.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Okay, I liked some of them.
Speaker 1:I liked the newer ones.
Speaker 3:The old school ones, though those were weird. Yeah, they were creepy.
Speaker 1:That first iteration, oh my gosh. 1998 three million sold in the first three years, which is fucking insane. That is insane. 14 different languages that's fucking badass, dude.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the fact that it came in so many different languages, that's so cool yeah, exactly I didn't know that we neither yeah wikipedia baby yeah, you know, it's true yeah, well, I don't think you can do that no, you can't, oh you can't no, no one can get on there and just do it anymore. Oh I didn't know that it like gets a has to everything's approved, which is 100, how it should be oh, that is how it should be, but interesting, that's been probably been like that for like 10 years now, easily well, I clearly don't use it very often.
Speaker 3:I guess not so, speaking of like ai-ish toys, do you guys remember? It's an algorithm, it's not really ai, but the? It was a, like a sphere, and it was the 20 questions game. Oh my gosh, I loved that game, right, and so you'd ask it any question, yeah, and it would. Either you would answer yes, no, or sometimes yeah, and it was scary. It was awesome. How did?
Speaker 2:you ever play that travis?
Speaker 3:oh, I will, I have, I might have it in my car yeah, I love the game the inventor of the ouija board made it right it was really cool.
Speaker 2:it was like you would think of something so maybe you're thinking of a gummy bear and then it would say is it a person, place or thing or a thing and a thing? And then it would just go through these 20 questions and then it would say okay, I think this is what you're thinking of, and you would tell it yes or no. And then it would ask okay, I think this is what you're thinking of, and you would tell it yes or no. And then it would ask five more and then guess again, and either you won because it didn't guess your thing or you lost because it got it right.
Speaker 3:Right, it's so fun.
Speaker 1:Well, all right, we're going to move on to the doodle bear. Fuck it. We got a list, everybody. We're going to fucking go down it. Fuck it. Who remembers a doodle bear? I do, me.
Speaker 2:Me Wait, wait, wait. Did you have a Furby?
Speaker 1:Yes, my sister did.
Speaker 3:Did you have? One, Julia, no I didn't, but I would play with other kids' ones.
Speaker 2:Okay, I didn't actually have one either. I just remember the kids we played with all had one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so you had one in your actual house trap oh gosh, I just like remembering it, sitting on my sister's window, just staring at me, following me around the room with its eyes no, I didn't do that.
Speaker 3:Do you think that's where it all went wrong for her?
Speaker 1:probably it's where she stored the meth in the fucking furby. We might edit that out. I don't know we We'll see. That's pretty fucking funny.
Speaker 2:Because that's pretty good. What's crazy is, if she would have had a doodle bear, she probably would be just as stable as Julia and I. You did have one of those, didn't you? Oh, fuck, yeah, I thought you did. I did too, I think or I played with yours.
Speaker 3:No, I think we both had one, but I remember playing it at your house and I think one of us used the wrong like marker one time. So there was like one mark that we like couldn't wash out.
Speaker 1:That's awesome fuck yeah, dude it is. That's a great invention, though it's so brilliant could you do a doodle bear at what was the fucking teddy teddy bear company where you could go make it build a bear build a bear. I bet they had something like that back then, right, because they've probably been around I don't a long time I've never seen anything else like it I.
Speaker 2:I've only ever walked in a build a bear, so I don't actually know. I've never been to one, so yeah that would just make sense.
Speaker 1:Draw on a specialty bear from there. I don't know fuck, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Have you seen those videos where people are like going in there now and they're because you can like record things, and people are going in there recording the craziest shit. They'll'll get like get a teddy bear, dress it up really juvenile and just be like I will kill your fucking family and people? It's like a trend and people have built a bear like absolutely not. You cannot say that.
Speaker 1:You can get like knives and chainsaws and swords. Now for your fucking teddy bear. Look, this one has blood on it. How cool is that?
Speaker 2:It's Halloween themed.
Speaker 1:Gosh, they have to have like Disney shit now for all the fucking millennial Disney babies and shit man.
Speaker 3:It'd be stupid for both companies not to do that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Because it's all about money, more, money, more problems, family Dude fucking 50 million in the first year is what Doodle Bear sold.
Speaker 1:Doodle Bear 50 fucking million 1995.
Speaker 3:Hold on a second.
Speaker 1:Furby got 3 million in the first three years Yep.
Speaker 2:Doodle Bear got 50 million. Isn't that crazy, that's insane.
Speaker 1:You need more customization, right? Pretty much right, yeah, endless.
Speaker 2:Well, also, if you think about it, furby only had 14 different languages. Doodle bear it.
Speaker 3:You don't need a language, you're just fucking drawing right, you are your own language right, you know it costs them like a dollar to make oh yeah didn't they have like oh was it, do you have?
Speaker 2:overalls on. Yeah, it was like denim overalls and I think some of them had little hats amazing was it a specialty marker or we could?
Speaker 1:you could just use any marker I think it.
Speaker 3:It was a special. I think that's what made it different, was the marker that makes sense. It was just a washable yeah, that's what I think, yeah which is why I, kayla and I fucked up.
Speaker 1:Yeah, use the wrong marker, whoops then mattel bought them in 1997, which led to triple the fucking profits of course it did.
Speaker 2:Isn't it crazy? What the fuck it's so wild insane dude.
Speaker 1:I never had it. I just remember the fucking awesome commercials we watched. The commercial had a fucking banging jingle yes, it did.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1:I'll try to link that commercial because it was funny I think it was like do, do, do, do, doodle bear oh, fucking amazing it was. It was good I don't know it's, I don't know whatever she would be doodling on her notepad, so it works yeah oh my well, how about them? Easy bake ovens. Did you guys have one?
Speaker 2:I know, speaking to that creativity, I fucking loved my easy bake oven I had an easy bake. You had an easy bake. Fuck, yeah, I did. And we fucking we were up in the kitchen cooking. Did you play with one Trav?
Speaker 1:No, because I'm a man.
Speaker 2:You weren't allowed to be in the kitchen.
Speaker 3:They didn't make blue ones, no, but Trav and I looked it up.
Speaker 2:They did at one point try to make a boy one. Yeah, they did. I don't remember what that name was.
Speaker 3:It was was. It was like the cookinators was it like a remote that changed the tv. Mattel gender affirming toys that's stupid, but also it was a really fucking cool oven. I loved it. I do so much fun. I do still think the toy vacuums they fucking crack me up. Oh my god, and like that's fine you can have a toy vacuum, but you you're going to make it pink or purple.
Speaker 1:Get the fuck out of here.
Speaker 2:There's that white one now. Well, it's a fake one, I guess, the one that pops balls.
Speaker 3:Classic Pops balls With Easy Pick Oven, though I stopped using it at a very young age because I got food poisoning from it.
Speaker 1:What? What did they make that food out of? It was something different.
Speaker 3:Oh, I've never even thought about what it was. I don't even remember it tasting good. I just remember thinking it was so cool that I was allowed to use an oven unsupervised.
Speaker 1:Oh man, it was like a specialty light. Right, it was a specialty light.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm pretty sure that they shit in there.
Speaker 1:That they shit in. No, that they shit in there.
Speaker 3:Honestly, that food was probably the same quality as shit.
Speaker 2:Okay, I actually loved the way Easy Bake food tasted. I loved it so much that I would buy it and then make it in the microwave when my Easy Bake stopped working.
Speaker 1:Really, what did it taste like?
Speaker 2:hilarious. It just tasted like fucking sugar, like I remember everything I ever had of it being good, like the brownie, the little cake that then I would put icing on, and there was a cookie. Those are the three that I remember the best and I know that I got them and put them in the microwave. That's right is.
Speaker 3:It defeats the whole, the whole actual product.
Speaker 2:It's amazing, it's fine, they were still getting my money because I was buying their stupid little mixes.
Speaker 3:That that was also a commercial that was on all the time.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, oh yeah, 100 and then they started making different versions of it, like there was a barbie one for a while, I think there was one other one.
Speaker 1:Well, we said there was that boy one that was just from us looking up toy articles, this while you guys ever walk the streets of new york city and just get super inspired and then make easy bake oven that's what happened, because that's what happened? The inventor got inspired by street vendors in new york city. That's how he made the easy bake oven.
Speaker 3:Oh my gosh, that was the. That was the original food truck, but it was at home, right.
Speaker 2:Which walking around. Isn't that how Tamagotchis work, too Right? Didn't you have to walk around to be able to feed them or something? You had to get energy somehow.
Speaker 3:I never had one of those. I don't think it was walking around, I think it was just tending to it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you had to feed basically I thought I guess I thought it was kind of like pokemon go, where you walked around and like no that was how you got energy.
Speaker 1:There might have been something like that back in the day, but let's just get into tamagotchi. The egg watch in japan, that's so weird to me.
Speaker 2:That's what they call it I.
Speaker 3:I think it's cool because a lot of the times, like, we'll hear, like oh this, like an american toy is huge in another country, like an american band is huge in another country, like an American band is huge in another country, and I like it to see the opposite version of something that's not made here, like nothing's really made here but created to market to the American people?
Speaker 1:This one's not. I think it's not Usually made in Canada.
Speaker 2:Everything's Canada. You know what we should have looked up. What does tamagotchi mean? Is that a word in japanese? It means egg watch oh, that's literally what it means.
Speaker 3:Yes, I'm sorry, I'm misunderstood, that's okay, no, I think it means thank you.
Speaker 1:Ah tamagotchi, ah tamagotchi oh fuck, but as of 2009, there was 44 different versions of tamagotchi what other versions can you have?
Speaker 3:fuck, if I know dude but a version would be like, let's say, there was a barbie version and then there's a monster's ink like those would be versions right, or would a?
Speaker 2:version be like you have a chicken, but I have a dog. Yeah, you have a bird maybe they did introduce.
Speaker 1:If you walked, you can get a food yeah piece of bread to feed your tamagotchi or something that was part of michelle obama's initiative.
Speaker 3:That's right that's right.
Speaker 1:No kids left behind. That's what they mean by that.
Speaker 2:That's what they meant everyone gets something to take care of and walk around with fuck 91 million units sold as of 2023.
Speaker 3:Wild.
Speaker 1:Fucking insane dude.
Speaker 2:Wild. That makes me feel like people are still buying them. Actually, I know they are. I've seen them in Target before.
Speaker 3:Fuck yeah, everything's coming. Things are coming back faster. Yeah, it's weird.
Speaker 1:There was an app made in 2013. What yeah? Bandai released an enhanced version of the iOS and Android version on those platforms.
Speaker 3:So you can have it on your phone. Yeah, that's smart. Why would you have it on a keychain hanging from your backpack when you can have it on your phone? Right, not as cool, not as cool, it's not.
Speaker 1:Dude Polly Pocket, did you guys have those oh?
Speaker 3:so I never had them. But I loved going over to my friends that had them. They were like jelly, a little fucked up, but I always they felt if you put them between your teeth.
Speaker 1:So Polly Pocket, am I right? Put it in your pocket and not Polly about it.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh, exactly.
Speaker 1:Was that even English I don't even know.
Speaker 3:Doesn't matter, but it was the slogan for the commercials. That's right, fucking Polly.
Speaker 2:Pockets, Polly Pockets. They were fun though. Yeah, because, Julie, you said how you could kind of bite it.
Speaker 3:They're jelly.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was in a little dollhouse.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was in a heart-shaped dollhouse. It was like a little heart.
Speaker 1:You could carry it with you, yep, or it could be like a shell.
Speaker 3:Oh my goodness, Do you get it? Now you get it.
Speaker 2:She fits in your pocket. It's a toy that fits in your pocket. It's not a pussy pocket, though.
Speaker 1:No, yeah, baby.
Speaker 3:If it was, then it would have been family friendly. But because it's an eye, yeah, damn it yeah.
Speaker 1:Did they make a black version, a goth version? No, that's Bratz. Oh, oh, oh Bratz.
Speaker 2:Oh, oh, oh my gosh. Bratz, bratz, mm-hmm. Oh, I loved Bratz. I remember being a kid and one of our family friends. She would only play with Bratz. She would not play with Barbies. Really, after Bratz came out, yeah, all she would play with Was she edgy.
Speaker 3:No, it was Carissa Really. Yes, you think she was trying to be different.
Speaker 2:I think it was carissa, really yeah you think she was trying to be different. I think it was just the cool new it toy and like that's what she was gonna play with that is crazy, because nothing's cooler than barbie.
Speaker 3:You know that.
Speaker 2:No, hell, no I know, have you seen the movie? Like barbie movie versus brats movie. Did you watch the brats movie?
Speaker 3:no, I didn't. But did you see the theory that, like the daughters were supposed to be, like the brat girls, like the, the high school girls that were kind of like I know exactly?
Speaker 2:what you're saying, yeah.
Speaker 3:I'm pretty sure that their names even match up to the brat dolls We'll have to go back and look but I, I do, I, I saw something about it.
Speaker 2:I don't know if it's true. Chloe Yasmin, those are the only ones I remember.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yasmin was one chloe and jasmine no, it's not come at me, bruh.
Speaker 2:I played with those. I watched that movie all the time dude speaking of barbie the sky dancer. Barbie, yes okay, I did not know that it was called the sky dancer. I just used to call it the flying barbie, or like little ballerina because that's what it looked like so you would pull that little lever, kind of like what was in the back of like woody's back yeah, his pull string and and she would just take off that it's such a cool toy it's such a cool toy was there a base that you put it on and then yanked it, or you just set it on the ground?
Speaker 1:you would hold it oh, you just hold it like it was designed for you to hold yeah and then you, legit, would just pull the string and up and away it would go here's something fucking hilarious that I think our audience is gonna love, but they recall this for causing too many fucking injuries no fucking hilarious. Too many people got injured by this I think that's so funny too many people got injured by sky dancer.
Speaker 1:Let's just sink that in real quick dude. People got injured by a styrofoam toy because they're fucking idiots yeah, because that's how it floated so well.
Speaker 3:Only the body was plastic I was gonna say I had a plastic it was only the body that was plastic, though? Oh my goodness, I want to know the injuries that were caused.
Speaker 2:Yes, I'm telling you it's because people are idiots and they just didn't get out of the way, or they're like oh, let me let me try to catch it, and then it would hit them in the face, or they walked off something, weren't paying attention. It's your own fault.
Speaker 3:I have funny I have seen a video. It was like this little girl opened up on christmas and she's so excited she's doing it and the whole family's like oh. And then it goes into the fireplace and everyone's like no, and it's absolutely amazing love that.
Speaker 1:That's what I was thinking of. Every time I think of that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that could have been one of the injuries. Oh my gosh, they followed into the fire.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was emotional trauma, Mm-hmm, and then she went for it. She just chased after it.
Speaker 1:They had an anime show in 1996 that lasted one season.
Speaker 2:I bet it was fucking terrible.
Speaker 3:Everyone comment Sky Dancer in the comments, if you watched it.
Speaker 1:Those are going to be flooding in. Oh fuck yeah.
Speaker 2:Lots of people watch that for sure. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3:Okay, so with dolls, Betty Spaghetti.
Speaker 2:How did I forget about her? And my niece even loves her.
Speaker 3:She was cool. She has like a really cool feeling to her too, but her hair was legit spaghetti.
Speaker 2:Okay, not legit spaghetti.
Speaker 3:Sorry, it was.
Speaker 1:Play-Doh right.
Speaker 3:No, it was like plastic. Yeah, like plastic stringy. I don't know the difference between literally and figuratively, but no, it was. It would have been plastic, but jelly yeah.
Speaker 2:But jelly, yeah, like the jelly bracelets, yes, but that's what her hair was, that's exactly right. You could play with her hair, but then she was a plastic doll and she had a real big face and you could break.
Speaker 3:you would just braid it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and you could break apart her body, like with Barbies. You know, you can only change their clothes and their shoes.
Speaker 1:But with Betty Spaghetti you could literally pull her arms off or her hands or her head.
Speaker 2:Oh, disclaimer, fuck, we're killing dolls in this episode. Mutilation Fall break. Gonna have a good time.
Speaker 1:If you don't have fun on fall break, you're not gonna.
Speaker 2:Then you're not pulling off a Betty Spaghetti head.
Speaker 1:Be on the movie Mutilator.
Speaker 2:But no, you're not pulling off a.
Speaker 2:Betty Spaghetti Head Beyond the movie Mutilator. But no fuck, I loved those. Well, speaking of those two, I remember in second grade I got the Spice Girls like the Barbie version of the Spice Girls, oh fuck. And I think it might have even been my uncle that got them for me because he lived with us at that time. Oh my gosh, I wish I could find that picture. You just see me and I'm holding like I pulled them out of the cases instantly and I hold all them like right by my face.
Speaker 2:I can see this memory because it was so awesome that's a sweet memory but I talked to a friend recently and she said well, I was that weird kid that when I got those they're still in their cases because I just never wanted to open them because I knew someday they'd be worth something.
Speaker 3:What Do you think that was more her or her parents?
Speaker 2:No, I think it was her, because we talked about it not too long ago at lunch. Really yeah, because then her daughter asked if she could open them and she said she looked it up and she was like yeah, go ahead and open them.
Speaker 3:She didn't play with them her whole childhood. Yeah, she just looked at them.
Speaker 1:Isn't that crazy, oh my gosh that's some self-discipline, right there.
Speaker 2:Is she a 40 year old virgin?
Speaker 1:no, it's aaron, I was just thinking of the 40 year old virgin also, I can never imagine her saying like no, her daughter can't play. She's such a good mom oh, aaron, shout out, dude you're 40 over. I'm calling you tonight so we can talk about this I have so many questions we love you, dog, I don't know, just spread the love, man. We love our people. We love our people.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah, we have good people in our lives for sure if I was a parent and my child, if I saw that they weren't playing with the toy because they thought that it might be worth something, I'm fucking getting them another one and be like you know what? Yes, that's two separate little games you could play yeah, because it is like it's. Collecting is a game in itself. I'd like play with this one, and don't touch this one yeah, you know what do kids collect?
Speaker 2:like we used to, because, fuck, that was a thing for our generation.
Speaker 3:We collected shit, yeah I don't know if it's more collecting, as it is just accumulating.
Speaker 2:I don't yeah, I don't feel like.
Speaker 3:Yeah, like I used to collect jones soda bottles, kayla, I cannot see a jones soda bottle without thinking of you every fucking time that's hilarious shelves and shelves of them did you try the chicken wing one?
Speaker 2:wasn't there like a buffalo chicken wing one uh, there, probably was, because I did have the thanksgiving set. Yes, there was like a turkey one, mashed potatoes and gravy corn casserole. They were terrible. They were terrible that's disgusting yep, but you know what? You still bought them. I still got them. That's right. Not now, I don't have them now, but you're such a good consumer, right, I did what I was supposed to do.
Speaker 1:I understood the assignment I was just thinking, thinking Pokemon's like very back now. I was collecting that as a kid too. I mean fucking. I mean that's just what you did with that shit, just collecting Pokemon cards, and that is huge now. Yeah, you're right, it is really big now, not that it wasn't, but Austin just bought Pokemon cards for his best friend.
Speaker 3:Yeah, like two days ago. Yeah.
Speaker 1:I fucking love Pokemon.
Speaker 3:Yeah, like two days ago.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I fucking love pokemon. That shit is awesome dude pokemon man man I never really got into it.
Speaker 3:I wasn't really into the card games like that, I wasn't either. So people like this one's so special and I just could not comprehend why it was so special.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because, like this one, this little pokemon was so much cuter right and he should have more power dude, I just remember being in the first and second grade just underneath the fucking biggest slide and fucking dueling people. It was awesome.
Speaker 2:That's awesome.
Speaker 1:I'm pretty sure they told us not to bring in our cards at one point, because we were just bringing in our cards and that's what we would do at fucking on our lunch break.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you weren't actually playing and running around using your energy, you were sitting how amazing is because now they would probably kill to have kids out there like switching playing cards, and now they're like no, we're going to be on our phones.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, okay.
Speaker 3:I want to talk about my favorite toy.
Speaker 1:Talk about your favorite toy. Let it in dude.
Speaker 3:It like art supplies, glitter pins, but most importantly, the milky like metallic glitter pins. Oh, that was one thing that my mom always kept stocked around our house jelly glitter and then it was black paper.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so, oh my, I swear. And I would always draw the same fucking thing. It would either be my name in bubble letters classic obviously or a um, like these little hills, and I would draw a sun in the corner. That had a smile and it's so stupid. I didn't realize that till years and years later. And then I would draw a sun rising over the hills.
Speaker 3:I had two fucking suns, obviously in this picture, but it looked cool as shit because I had my milky gel pens. Fucking, if I didn't have that, the blow pens that's what I thought you were gonna say.
Speaker 2:I thought you're gonna say the blow pens.
Speaker 1:I can't, I can't decide which one I like, dude we were just shoving all the toxic shit into our fucking mouths, weren't we?
Speaker 2:oh my gosh fuck well, yeah, because even with those gel pens, if they ran out, you would just blow on them to try to get the gel to like on.
Speaker 1:Yeah whatever, hey, they were preparing you guys for blowing you feel me Hell yeah.
Speaker 2:Fucking A brother. It was a social experiment to see if more men would show up, gay or not.
Speaker 3:It worked.
Speaker 1:Fuck, that shit was so much fun, you know what Exactly?
Speaker 2:Who?
Speaker 1:heard that because I didn't travis just blew into his pen. The blow-up balloon too. Talk about fucking, oh shit. Oh yeah, the plastic balloon plastic balloons yeah, yeah, yeah yeah I just, I still remember like the taste and the fucking smell, dude, oh man, because it was like a really, really small straw right, and that you'd put at the end.
Speaker 3:Is that why we have such good cheekbones?
Speaker 1:Because we were just fucking blowing shit, just blowing it, blowing all the time, blowing all the art.
Speaker 3:We're actually not. You feel me dog?
Speaker 1:We're actually not you feel me dog? We're blowing bitches. You feel me dog?
Speaker 2:That's true, though that is why we're so full of microplastics.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:All the shit we played with we stuck in our mouths.
Speaker 3:I think everything that we've talked about has been fucking outside of the doodle bear. Yeah, plastic, all of it's plastic Straight up, dude, you're right, melissa and Doug, I mean almost all of its plastic straight up, dude, you're right, melissa and doug, I mean almost all of their toys are wood.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think there wasn't there like a little scandal in the 90s that barbie had like lead in some of their dolls or something like that, if I remember correctly. I could be wrong, though. Yeah, that doesn't surprise me.
Speaker 2:Yeah, a little, not even a little like oh my gosh, there was a baby doll that you would put give her bottle and she would pee. Holy shit, remember that? Holy fucking shit. I forgot about that until right this minute. You would pee into the doll no, yeah, and then you would drink it first kid you gotta pee into the doll for the pee to come out it's okay, because it's not lead, it's just piss, it's ster it's microplastics out of your dick. Teaching pedophilia early on. But that legit.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you would give it like water, yes, and then after a certain time period and I don't even think it was like a set time period, I think it was like random so you'd have to like check on this doll, it would just happen, it would pee.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it wasn't instant that's so fucking weird I forgot about that.
Speaker 3:Dude did everyone think that was weird at the time, or was it just?
Speaker 1:they probably just thought oh, it's a cool feature. Hell yeah, right, I mean you know what?
Speaker 3:yeah, these girls are gonna learn how to take care of babies we're gonna teach them early on hey, trad wives, that's fucking coming in right now.
Speaker 1:Dog it is it's fucking crazy's fucking crazy. Oh man Fucking weird.

It was like a girl doing dishes and hopefully the wrong side of Instagram doesn't see this and it was like this is the type of wife I want to be and we're like we don't give a fuck. Yeah. The wrong side doesn't give a shit what you want to do, and it was like talk about feminism, like, oh, congratulations. Feminism is like you getting to do Whatever you would choose to do because you have the freedom.
Speaker 2:So it's literally what feminism is. Yeah, so yeah. The quote wrong side is happy that you're Doing what you want to do awesome.
Speaker 3:People are fucking wild, yeah, oh just for fucking Detention and money.
Speaker 1:Dude, it's fucking Wild fucking. Hey, dude, they're all fucking Beige.
Speaker 3:Moms is the problem that's exactly what they are. I found an example of a beige mom and brad ripple this really so we were on the monon, we were like had just gotten bricks, ice cream and there was like this daycare that we were going past, yeah, and like the actual, like playground logs oh, that's it logs. They like shaved them down, oh shit, and it was aesthetically pleasing, yeah, but I'm like as a kid, I'm like what the fuck?
Speaker 3:yeah, dude yeah, and that's what. And I immediately was like this this is such a beige mom thing because it's it's almost like yard decor yeah but it's supposed to be for the kids like oh mom, can I go play outside? Yep, go, just jump over or go under the log. Those are your options.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they're trying to teach these kids how to be bored so that they can handle it.
Speaker 3:We did the same shit, but we were actually in the woods and our parents had no idea where we were.
Speaker 2:Hey, my parents didn't pay for me to go play on fake wood.
Speaker 1:They just let me play with real wood.
Speaker 2:I'm remembering something really crazy right now.
Speaker 1:That's what she said so by alex's neighborhood there's just like a forest where his parents live. There's a forest back there. I remember us riding our bikes and like, entering this super bushy area we like, as soon as you walk into this area, there's this huge mound of bikes. Oh, just a bunch of bikes.
Speaker 3:Abandoned bikes.
Speaker 1:Just stacked on top of each other and they're all rusted and everything dude and by these bikes was a bunch of like porno mags. Shut up, I'm serious.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh.

Speaker 3:Childhood, boyhood.
Speaker 1:Well, and there was like a house like right next door, like oh God, does this guy like a serial killer or something, because there was just a bunch of like kids bikes stacked up Just stealing bikes and in your head you're like this is fucking not right. This is fucking weird.
Speaker 2:That is creepy, you're right. It's so weird that my buddies and I are gonna continue to look at this porno mac, but damn it, he's doing it right by leaving these nudies out in the woods.
Speaker 1:We fucking lived. You did it dude stand by me it wasn't porno, it was called porn hub, the magazine oh my gosh. Well, speaking of alex dude, our fucking favorite toys were these power rangers that would like flip their heads like inside of their like chest, so it'd be their face and then you flip it and it would be their helmet yep, their power ranger helmet. Oh my gosh, just flipping the helmet constantly. I was a helmet freak. I don't know, dude, it was so much fucking fun those ones are really cool I actually found travis's blue power ranger of that.
Speaker 2:When I found all of his banties it was like in with them.
Speaker 3:Yes amazing, so I found so we have it.
Speaker 2:It's like in a drawer right now, because I was like what do we do with this?

Speaker 3:As you should. You should dress up the mask for Halloween, oh.
Speaker 1:That would be a blast. That would be so much fun.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it would Shave your head.
Speaker 1:We'll just put a bald cap on you. What is us talking about? Bald motherfuckers? I just don't get it, austin. I'm so sorry, dude, it's Julia's new obsession. Yeah, austin turns out, she does actually like you.

Speaker 1:Holy shit, there's like you can control it with a little muscle.
Speaker 3:Yes, I still have it. Yeah, so fuck, that's cool, I will not. So. Mr mackie's geometry class my sophomore year. I was like talking about it because why not? Right? And no one in the class knew what I was talking about. The next day he was my favorite teacher. I came in the hallway and I like waited till the bell already rang and I motorized her in and I brought him.
Speaker 2:No, you fucking didn't. He loved it.
Speaker 3:Oh my, you could do like little like you could get her on two wheels. Yeah, she was so cool. She had a helmet yes, I think maybe even elbow pads and knee pads.
Speaker 2:I think she had all of it yeah, she was cool as shit. Yeah, you could get her to pop little wheelies on it yeah, high quality toy too.
Speaker 3:The fact that it's still in great condition, yeah 1999, when it got released yep the fourth video says learning how to skateboard in my 40s.
Speaker 1:What the fuck, dude? That's not skateboard, shannon. Or maybe her name is shannon. That would make sense oh fuck I totally forgot about.
Speaker 2:You know what other toy I had, though I was never big into american girl dolls which I feel like those are still kind of big they are but I had a my twin doll, and I remember one Christmas we always got the magazine with the ads of like, fill out this form and get a doll that looks just like you. It's cool, we used to do it all the time, just for fun, to fill it out, and there was one time I remember sitting on the counter and my mom and one of her friends was filling it out as if it was me, and I just remember feeling so special. I had no idea my mom was actually getting me one. I just thought we were doing it and normally when we would do it we'd be like in the living room or something, but she let me, like sit on the counter and they like really mapped out my face and made sure it had the same freckles as me.
Speaker 3:And you had.
Speaker 2:No, you were just like this is so idea that I was actually getting one, and then I got one for Christmas, yeah, and my mom bought it a dress, and then I got a dress that matched it.
Speaker 1:I fucking love that. I'll find a picture of it, please do Does she have glasses too?
Speaker 2:Yep, she had glasses, I remember.
Speaker 3:Yep, I remember her having glasses.
Speaker 2:And you could take her glasses off.

Speaker 1:And I took that's your plus one. Was it a christian birthday party? No, I'm gonna go on stage until everybody. I fucking cut myself, fucking wild dude. Sorry, I just had to think. Ah, that's just insane travin.
Speaker 2:I've been together for 10 years and he had never heard that story until all of you guys heard it as well.
Speaker 1:Well, Well, we can probably edit this out. But, dude, if I was a parent and my child was going up there? But fuck no, you're fucking not doing that right the fuck. Now You're, we're leaving 100%. Cause. That is just like trauma at its finest.
Speaker 2:But I don't At the time. That's not how it felt, though, at the awesome that I'm like so much better than how I used to be like I mean yes in that context.
Speaker 3:Yes, I get it because that's the whole point of it. That's how they fucking condition us, though, right that's that was how it was like presented.
Speaker 2:It wasn't like a hey, come up here and admit all the things that you've done that are fucked up.
Speaker 3:It was like come up here and talk about how you've healed yeah, or you know what I let's talk about ways you can heal from this, oh but that we can't do that because there wouldn't be any other ways other than through prayer. That's right, there's no other ways to cope with things in life. But you know what?
Speaker 2:When I have big feelings, like going up on the church stage um care bears are always there for me.
Speaker 3:They are, yes, they are.
Speaker 2:I fucking loved care bears.
Speaker 1:I had a three foot Care bear in my bedroom Well into high school Three foot.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was One of those three foot dolls.
Speaker 1:Damn, that's awesome.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was the pink one. I don't even remember their names anymore, but I had the pink one. It was a three foot one and it sat in the corner of my bedroom and I fucking Loved it.
Speaker 1:McFart, mcgee or something.
Speaker 3:It was probably cares a lot Could you draw on those two or no?
Speaker 1:that was just a doodle bear only a doodle bear man.
Speaker 2:You draw on those, you ruin it on talk to aaron, they're probably collectibles still in the package baby those didn't come in packages. Don't take it out so I.
Speaker 3:So there's care bears, and then there's the Teletubbies. Oh my, gosh. And I hated the Teletubbies.
Speaker 2:I love.
Speaker 3:Teletubbies. What really threw me off was I hated how they would hold their belly and laugh like that. I fucking hated it. Yes, and then the baby and the son, because I knew how sons were supposed to look and they were supposed to be two of them, but I hated the baby. I don't know why I always compared care bears and teletubbies oh and they're totally different, I know, but in my mind they were like the same and care bears was like far superior oh, absolutely, it's way better beige care bears what would that?
Speaker 1:look like oh gross, just a normal teddy bear, normal teddy bear there was a lake or something in the teletubby show like out yeah, in the real life yes so many people were visiting that location, they tore it down. It was just like a flat, like grassland now, because so many people visited that location, because it was yeah real location yeah, just hilarious, I don't know I didn't know that interesting I also just can't imagine being like yeah, let's go visit the spot where the teletubbies were.
Speaker 2:What the fuck well, you say that, but lots of people went to visit the like hill for full house yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I feel that's a little bit different though yeah, that's a little like I would when I would go to new zealand. If I ever do lord of the rings, I'd be fucking fuck yeah, oh 100 100 but why is it different?
Speaker 2:because it's a kid show versus an adult show. Yes, so like, as an adult, I'm choosing to do it versus the teletubby thing. My parents made me go do it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, like, okay, I get that I just think it's like a usually like age appropriation yeah even with. I watch way more animated things like cartoons than I did in my childhood, yeah, but they're like all geared towards adults. So I just think it's interesting when adults are obsessed with things that are geared towards children okay, that's the difference. We'll talk about like swifties I fucking get down to some taylor swift- absolutely but also her stuff is like geared towards adults right, yes it has like those poppy tunes that kids would like.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, that's right, that makes sense, you're right. Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 1:That was a little bit different. Who gives a fuck about that?
Speaker 3:you don't? There's no age limit to shaking it off, you know oh, my gosh sidebar.
Speaker 2:A friend from work had someone die at her wedding to that song.
Speaker 3:I'm so fucking serious, were they dancing?
Speaker 2:Yes, they did CPR on him for like 45 minutes. He died. I mean he died and Taylor.
Speaker 3:Swift didn't pay for the funeral. I know, can you believe that? Oh my God.
Speaker 1:She just went out there to see the body.
Speaker 2:It's because he was over 60 and not underneath 18.
Speaker 3:That's right, damn it, fuck. That's a crazy thing. That would happen. One it's at your fucking wedding. Good memories. And then she remembers her wedding how'd your dad die?
Speaker 2:oh, you're never gonna believe this. He was shaking it off to t swift. Speaking of taylor swift, do you remember the lip smackers? Oh, strawberry lip smacker, there was nothing better I just remember there being so many different kinds like everything, the ones that looked like little soda bottles.
Speaker 3:I I think of orange crush. There's an extra pepper. We recently Everything the ones that looked like little soda bottles, I think of Orange Crush. There was a box of pepper.
Speaker 2:We recently got Travis, one that was like a Mountain Dew and a Pepsi.
Speaker 1:Diet Pepsi.
Speaker 2:Diet Pepsi, of course.
Speaker 1:Pepsi Zero.

Yeah, oh, he's so precious that had little Avengers on them. He got that for you, yeah, oh he's so precious. Because I think I'm pretty sure, trav, if I remember, after you opened it he was like well, which one do you want? Because I want the Hulk. I was like okay.
Speaker 3:They were like the chapstick type things but also the lip gloss. Yeah, and I remember being so glossy like the strawberry. And I just as glossy like the strawberry and I just as a kid. You just felt so cool. I just put makeup on, do you?
Speaker 1:thinking like a 40 year old man's gonna notice me. Oh my gosh, hopefully he's our coach if he's not, hey don't do any background checks okay, especially if you're a pastor but, trav, you had an older sister, so did.
Speaker 2:Did you used to do dress up stuff with her, okay?
Speaker 1:fuck.
Speaker 2:Yeah, let's say my brother used to do it with us all the time you know how you guys are always like god.

Speaker 3:I don't even know that they gave full CDs.
Speaker 2:Yes, it was a.
Speaker 3:CD. That's incredible.
Speaker 2:Yes, and I know it was.
Speaker 3:Backstreet Boys. Can you imagine them doing that now? Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1:Well, dude, they were giving like full video games out in like cereal boxes back in the day, I think.
Speaker 3:Age of. Empires was one of them like cereal boxes back in the day. I think age of empires was one of them. Crazy yeah, I also remember every single cereal box I kept and I did whatever activities were on the back. Oh, absolutely fuck yeah.
Speaker 1:Do they even put toys in cereal boxes anymore?
Speaker 3:no toys occasionally there will be like but it's not really. You can draw on anymore. There's fucking qr codes that you can do an app it's not nearly as fun. I would be mad if someone else would do the crossword. I'm like what?
Speaker 1:this was my cereal box guys youngest come on, I get to do this dude there were our fucking toys came coming out of the fucking fast food vendors were like just the fucking coolest they were cool toys, oh my goodness, I so a lot of like art vendors and craft fairs.
Speaker 3:There are now, um, like let's just say you're selling earrings, yeah, instead of just buying them off the little display thing, they're putting them in little vending, so you buy a quarter for like 10 bucks oh, that's so fun though in there. So you're doing it and I feel like it's so geared towards us. Oh, that is so fun because I'm like I don't need those earrings, but fuck, I want to do it, but I want to do that and it's cool and it's just kind of funny how they're incorporating those games into what we actually want now.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Just like the Taco Bell game, when you drop the penny or quarter and get a free meal.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 1:I just had this conversation with somebody. Was there water in it? No, yes, oh yes, no, no, no, yeah, no, there's no water. There might have been two, two games you could play. I talk about not just one.
Speaker 3:There was two of them I've played the water one and it without, as some people like. There was never water and I was like I fucking swear there was, there was yeah I think because that one was smaller and the bigger one was the non-water one.
Speaker 2:Because it was like steps, yeah Right, and you're trying to get you would like drop a penny down, and then you would have to try to twist the thing at the top.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:To get it to land on one of the shelves and you'd get a free taco.
Speaker 3:They were pretty good rewards. You'd get a full taco, mm-hmm and the tier before that was a soft shell which always was so funny to me, because they were like the same price yeah, exactly, but like the cinnamon crunch yes yeah, yeah shit that was fun, so much fucking fun yeah, that was so cool yeah, let's get rid of all the fucking fun shit.
Speaker 1:I know toys are fucking lame.
Speaker 3:Now they talk about doesn't do that shit anymore, fuck me man, I do mobile order ordering a lot if I do fast food, but every time I go inside to a fast food now I feel like I am like so unwelcome it is.
Speaker 2:It's weird. They don't acknowledge you at all when you go in. Not at all.
Speaker 1:No one's in there, yeah dude, why me at mcdonald's now there's just like a fucking wall in front of where they used to work, right, and it's just kiosks, so they just fucking bring. One person comes out and fucking brings it out.
Speaker 2:You don't see the people back there anymore our cousin ethan and I actually went to a dunkin donuts yesterday and when you walk in they do have a cash register but they have an even bigger kiosk right beside it and you walk up to that and start doing all your stuff. And then we kind of stood and just waited and we had ordered like a ham and cheese or something and she set it down and she looked at us and she's like, hey, ham and cheese. Knowing very much, it was us who had just ordered that yeah, we're the only ones in here.
Speaker 2:Well, there was one other lady in there, but she was bitching the whole time because they actually made my coffee wrong and I was like, I don't, it's fine, it still tastes good. And he was like, yeah, I wouldn't want to say anything either after that lady was complaining. Yeah, for real and I was like that's exactly why I'm not gonna say anything. It still tastes good. It's not like it tastes bad, like it's not that big a deal I.
Speaker 3:I think my mom would have really struggled with like the kiosk growing up, because you can't yell at a 14 year old for not taking your expired coupons to a kiosk to a kiosk.
Speaker 2:Hey, if they're gonna make them get minimum wage, the least they could do is not have older generation yell at them about expired coupons, right?
Speaker 3:She's changed, all right.
Speaker 1:I love the kiosk dude, I just don't have to interact with anybody. No, I agree, that's my favorite fucking thing, dude, I just don't like it.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I'd rather interact with a fucking computer. It's so goofy, I don't know.
Speaker 3:I used to feel very differently.
Speaker 1:I used to be like.
Speaker 3:I need that interaction. I get my interaction with who I want.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:And also just there's less air.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I can put it in directly. They're going to fuck it up anyways. Right, extra pickles. Oh, no pickles, and okay cool.
Speaker 3:Jerry just did a line of cocaine. All right, he can't fucking keep up.
Speaker 1:I follow these guys on YouTube who, like, put a GoPro on their fucking chest and then they work at McDonald's and it's just their breakfast fucking routine, their lunch routine. I don't know, it's just kind of cool watching the back dude, and it's awesome.
Speaker 2:That's how it goes.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's cool to get a picture into someone else's lives that like we're never back there, we're too good to work fast food, but it's cool to you know to see that life exactly.
Speaker 2:I prefer to work 15 hours a week I applied to work at mcdonald's in high school because there was one that was less than a mile away from my neighborhood. So I knew I could walk and you could be 14 yep and they opened at 4 am, so I could work before school, and then I would go to school, and then I would still have my after school job. I didn't get the job, though, damn it dude. You weren't ba-ba-bum-bum-bum. I wasn't loving it Cheese and Marsh Ooh Marsh breadsticks.
Speaker 3:Marsh was right by McDonald's, though.
Speaker 2:Yes, it was Over by my neighborhood, it was.
Speaker 3:There is one toy that I really want to bring up. Yeah, bring it up and it's the Skip it.
Speaker 2:I forgot about Skip it.
Speaker 1:You don't? Travis Did it have like the ball and you put it around one leg. Yes, Okay, yes, I do remember this.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that thing. I've had multiple of those.
Speaker 1:Yes, I remember.
Speaker 2:Well, do you think, because you would slide it onto your foot. So do you think the part that was around your foot stayed still and it was the string attached to it that moved, or do you think the whole thing that was around your foot moved? The whole thing moved. Okay, yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, it was like a solid plastic and then it had a counter and I'm so I remember that and I'm still very I'm a competitive person, but like Justin was older, yeah, and he was just better at me than everything- he had four years on you. I would be so proud of how many I got, and then he would borrow it for like an hour and he'd beat it. I would cry so fucking hard.
Speaker 2:Well, I recently bought like a cheapo version at the target dollar spot thing that they have. But the part that went around my foot it wasn't a full circle, it was like a half circle and the bottom was flat, so I couldn't get it to spin well enough and it lit up and everything. I was so excited to have it and then it was just a piece of shit because it wasn't skip it, brand right and it was from target, like they used to.
Speaker 1:I fucking remember this. You guys remember. Remember rock'em, sock'em, boppers.
Speaker 2:Yeah, oh my gosh, those were so much fun.
Speaker 3:It was just like the arms moved.
Speaker 2:It was like having a marshmallow on your hand, yeah.
Speaker 1:Fighting each other, just beating each other up, and it was fucking perfectly fine, yep, and it was totally acceptable. Yeah, you would have. Oh my gosh, you guys remember fucking the moon boots, fucking moon boots. You would hop on one of those and you'd fucking uppercut your friend with the fucking rockham side those commercials were crazy too oh yeah, you jumped to the moon.
Speaker 2:They had me believing that I was gonna be doing some crazy shit in life I remember playing with those at julia's house as a kid and I think they were black and green. Do you think yours were black and green, Trav?
Speaker 1:I didn't have them. I just remember that being a toy, oh.
Speaker 2:Did you ever play with them though?
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm. Okay, yeah, they were fun.
Speaker 3:Oh man, None of my stuff was name brand. It was all off brand. So we had them. Spoon boots.
Speaker 2:That's right.
Speaker 1:The spoon boots.
Speaker 2:You had the Mars boots.
Speaker 1:Your dad had to drive a little further out to get them.
Speaker 2:Well, the only reason Trav never got kidnapped at the bike mount was because he had moon boots on, so he could just jump away from the pedo.
Speaker 1:That's right.
Speaker 3:Travis, that's a crazy story.
Speaker 2:That is such a crazy story. Just two kids hanging out in the woods by a pile and you can't see Trav, but he just kind of like shrugged, like yeah, that's what I did, man.
Speaker 1:I remember being like, okay, this is not right, something is off about this, and we fucking never went back.
Speaker 3:That's so wild.
Speaker 1:It was weird. I feel like there might be a serial killer that lives in that area. Because that was just the weirdest fucking thing.
Speaker 3:That is weird. How deep in the woods were you?
Speaker 1:Not deep at all. 74, dude. Man, because the neighborhood is like right there, dude.
Speaker 2:Yeah, woods is a loose term. It's kind of like how they would put quote woods in between a neighborhood and the next neighborhood. It was a forest area.
Speaker 1:Yeah, just thinking about that Fucking so dumb. But that's yeah, I think we're pretty much done with our toys.
Speaker 2:Nostalgic toys man. Yeah it's just fun. It's just fun to reminisce. Well, and what's crazy too is we have niece and nephew, and when niece wants to play with betty spaghetti, I fucking play with her with those, but when she just wants to play with blocks or something, I'm like all right, I'll do it right, but it's because she wants right to play with legos julia, you like legos, I feel so upset, I fucking I bought legos the other day, did you?
Speaker 1:yeah, legos are the shit dude you know what?
Speaker 2:remember when we were little, my brother had that little table that the whole top of it was just.
Speaker 3:It was basically supposed to be like lego grass yeah, and you would lift it up, and that's where the legos went inside. Yeah, yeah, it was awesome, yeah I love it.
Speaker 1:So that's it, guys. I was just thinking about this. We're so fucking. This is like a super millennial podcast, but we're also adhd. Like what is this podcast? I don't even fucking know anymore, dude if you have suggestions, let us know. I was just thinking about it. I still like her description. It's fun, dude, it's a good time it gives people an expectation to not to not have an expectation exactly.
Speaker 2:I find that if you have a goal, you might not reach it, so it's better to never set a goal, because then you'll never disappoint yourself. That's so true.
Speaker 1:Exactly.
Speaker 2:Thanks, Vince Vaughn and Dodgeball. I appreciate that. It's a life motto for me these days, Kayla. In all seriousness, though, I mean most of the people that listen to us right now are people that we actually know.
Speaker 3:So if anyone ever wants us to talk about something.
Speaker 2:We'll do a little research.
Speaker 3:Not talk about something. We'll do a little research, not very much. We won't research hard, about half ass it exactly. We'll have fast at research and then talk about it.
Speaker 2:I'll add some facts on wikipedia and then we'll pretend that it's real, it's perfect. Then we don't have to say any sources research.
Speaker 1:I think after this we're just gonna go sniff a bunch of fucking scented markers or something.
Speaker 2:I don't know, I'm gonna give my friends some scented stickers. Oh hell yeah.
Speaker 1:Alright, guys, this has been interesting. You feel me, I feel you. This has been. You Feel Me Dog.
