  Speaker 2: Could be a seat model star. I was sixteen at
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: the time or fifteen and uh, and then hook it
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: up with a witch and that was that. Cats can
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: smile apparently, whoa weird, But it doesn't always mean that
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: they're happy.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Lucy receives a call from what I can only assume
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: is the future winner of every acting award ever.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Jennyman is a star. Her look looks weren't a
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: part of the issue.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: He's like, I had to sell my last top hat
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: for gas.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Maybe this is not appropriate either, but we'll see.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: What's up nostalgia nerds. I hope you're hungry because we
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: have a brand new nostalgia nugget for you, nonmyll And
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: just just so you know, everybody knows this already, but.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: We just talk.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: It's a short episode. You talk about a few things
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: that we missed while growing up.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Now you wanna go first to sh Yeah. So the
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: thing that I chose was, uh, I'm talking about this
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: before Andy, but pop tarts.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: So pop tarts.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: I missed the days of pop because pop tarts are
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: a treat and I it blew my mind because I
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: didn't we didn't toast them growing up. We just would
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: eat them. So when I learned about the toasting aspect
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: of pop tarts, I was, this is groundbreaking information. Okay,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: I was like blown away, and then I have a
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Everybody who knows me knows that cherry is my favorite
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: favorite pop tart or favorite favorite pop tart, But my
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: least and my least favorite is strawberry.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: See those two are so similar when it comes to
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: pop tarts.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: No, it's serious, but in reality, cherry is not my
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: favorite flavor in other things outside of pop tarts. But
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: strawberry typically is like strawberry lemonade, you know, strawberry shortcake.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: There's not a lot of cherry in my life except
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: for in the pop tart world. So I love pop tarts.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: And then we're gonna save up.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Did you ever freeze pop tarts? Oh my gosh, that's
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: the way to go. So the best one to freeze,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I think is the s'more pop tart. That one frozen
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: is the best overall. But if you have them just normal,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go probably cherry strawberry, heat it up, cherry strawberry.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I don't really like the brown sugar ones, but I'll
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: definitely put those down. But I'm telling you try and frozen.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: They're so good.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: I just don't think that they did the strawberry pop
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: tart justice Like it does not taste, in my opinion,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: like strawberries. It tastes like like a strawberry, like birthday
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: cake at like grocery outlet.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Did you ever try any variations, Like I've heard people
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: try peeb and J pop tarts sandwiches and stuff. Feel
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: like that's too much, Like I feel like the pop
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: tart is sweet enough.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: You don't that extra, like right now, I could do that,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: but like but uh, and then I was at Trader Joe's,
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: which is kind of you know, for the listener, like
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: a kind of a healthy, you know, healthier place, and I.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: And then I bought pop tarts from them, like their brand,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: and they weren't good at all. Hippies and you know,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: granola people don't do junk food good. And then recently
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I drove uh super fan Kayleen, my best friend, to
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: the airport, and I had to stop at mcdonald' because
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: I had to use the bathroom. And but I always
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: had to buy some things I just feel bad about. Yeah, yeah,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: and I had to do the hole when I walk in,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: like be like, I'm gonna be back to buy something,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: you know. And I was in the bathroom. It was
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: like early in the morning because she had an early flight.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: I was in the bathroom like having intense conversations with
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: people on Facebook about pop tarts. I don't know what
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: the post was, but it was like, what's your favorite
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: pop tart flavoring? And I was just like ringing people
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: hard when they said strawberry, and then another one that's
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: really good is the cinnamon ones. Okay, cinnamon is a
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: good one anyways. So I just like, like, I'm nostalgic
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: for the days when pop tarts were like a tree,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Like mo went camping.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: It was always like grab a pop tart.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Now pop tarts is me in a in a stall
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: at McDonald's by the airport at seven am, having intense
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: conversations with people on Facebook.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: So do you remember when pop tarts were marketed as
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: like a good breakfast?
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Really? Did you ever mess with toaster stroodles?
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I did not same.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan, but my buddy Dilo, he
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: loved those, so he would prefer those of pop tarts.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I'm like dude, pop tarts are the way to go.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Toaster troodles are okay if you had time to heat
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: them up and then put the cream on it, it's fine,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: But I like pop tarts better.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: I have a somebody in my life. I'm not gonna
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: name names, but she said that I for the comment
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: she made. She was like, I'm kind of like a
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: toaster at all. I like where this is going, Like
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: I don't know what she's like, warm on the inside,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: cream on the outside or something.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: So she might be listening. So you know who you are.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I always say when it comes to rolling rock, I'm like,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: it's like me cheap and a little sweet.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Like you know what Jeremy told me last night? He
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: said that I'm I have a quote quirky personality.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Were you angry about that?
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: I'm just like, I've never heard myself described that way,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: so I don't have to feel because he then he
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: did an impression of me. And because I can't just
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: say to somebody, oh sounds good or awesome, I have
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: to say like awesome, possum like I have to Yeah,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: So that's what he was referring to.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: But you ever in a theater as a kid in school.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like middle school and high school.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Same.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I was an adult when I heard this saying,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: and I think it's so true. But they go that
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: person definitely has theater kid energy, and I was like, yeah,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I totally get it because I think if you're in
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: theater growing up, you just look more flamboyant and more fun.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Like I think it's a fun thing to be. I
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I'm with you.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: I can't go to somewhere where someone's like my cashier
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: and they're you know, dealing with assholes all day. I
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: can't just be neutral with them. I need to be
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: like a story for them to tell after they get
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: off work. Like that's my goal.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: But anyway, so.
