Teagan: All good.
0:54
Teagan: Well, thank you for joining us.
0:55
Teagan: Very excited to have you.
0:57
Teagan: I'm excited because I think she already thinks I'm lame.
1:06
Speaker 00: Thinks?
1:06
Teagan: Yeah, exactly.
1:07
Teagan: So now she can tell the world how I'm lame.
1:11
Teagan: Now it's recorded.
1:12
Teagan: Yeah.
1:14
Teagan: Now it's documented for all to see.

1:17
Teagan: For all to hear.
1:18
Teagan: There
1:19
Speaker 00: you go.
1:19
Speaker 00: So we brought in a younger generation so that we could kind of mess with her a little bit.
1:31
Teagan: I mean, if you think about it, her life is completely different.
1:38
Speaker 00: Oh, yeah.
1:38
Speaker 00: Yeah.
1:39
Speaker 00: A hundred percent.
1:40
Speaker 00: Um, you, so to put it in perspective, you grew up with no internet.
1:47
Teagan: Yes.
1:48
Speaker 00: I grew up with the beginning of the internet.
1:50
Teagan: Yes.
1:51
Speaker 00: And you've grown up with only internet.
1:53
Teagan: Yeah.
1:54
Speaker 00: Like it's always been there for
1:55
Teagan: you.
1:55
Teagan: Yeah.
1:55
Teagan: The first thing we got for Christmas and you're like five or six and you bring out an iPod.
1:58
Teagan: Oh, that's right.
2:00
Teagan: Oh wow.
2:00
Teagan: And we shared it.
2:01
Speaker 00: Wow.
2:02
Speaker 00: That was the
2:02
Teagan: first technology we got was the iPod that we shared, and then we got an iPad.
2:06
Teagan: That's because we're cool parents.
2:08
Speaker 00: I guess so.
2:08
Speaker 00: On
2:09
Teagan: the back, it said Brennan Segan.
2:10
Teagan: What?
2:11
Teagan: Yeah.
2:11
Teagan: We got it engraved and everything.
2:12
Teagan: Wow.
2:13
Teagan: Meanwhile, that's the last iPod ever.
2:18
Speaker 00: Yeah.
2:18
Speaker 00: I still have my iPod, just saying.
2:20
Speaker 00: Yeah, I got an iPod in college, and I was pretty excited about that.
2:24
Teagan: An iPod?
2:25
Teagan: A little, like, clicky square.
2:27
Teagan: She calls it clicky square.
2:30
Teagan: The iPod.
2:30
Teagan: The shuffle.
2:31
Teagan: You had bigger than the Shuffle, though.
2:33
Teagan: We had like a phone.
2:34
Teagan: It was like a phone.
2:35
Teagan: Yeah, yours was like a phone.
2:38
Speaker 00: Wait, so your first...
2:39
Speaker 00: Your first iPod was an iPod Touch.
2:41
Speaker 00: Yes.
2:42
Speaker 00: It wasn't like this thing.
2:44
Teagan: No.
2:45
Speaker 00: No.
2:48
Teagan: I've never seen that in my life.
2:49
Teagan: No, you freaking loser.
2:51
Speaker 00: Oh, okay.
2:51
Speaker 00: So I'm thinking like we can relate with having...
2:54
Speaker 00: We could be iPod buddies, but you...
2:59
Teagan: I've never seen that in my
3:00
Speaker 00: life.
3:00
Speaker 00: Oh, my goodness.
3:00
Speaker 00: I wish...
3:01
Speaker 00: I wish I had a charger for it.
3:03
Speaker 00: I don't even know how to charge it.
3:04
Speaker 00: Do those chargers
3:05
Teagan: exist anymore?
3:05
Speaker 00: So this is a dial, and you would spin it, and it was really cool that it
3:09
Teagan: would...
3:09
Teagan: I almost said to you, was it the one with the spinner dial?
3:11
Speaker 00: It was, yeah, the spinner dial.
3:12
Speaker 00: No, I was
3:13
Teagan: thinking of the mini version where there's no screen.
3:15
Teagan: It's the clicker that's a little square.
3:17
Teagan: That's what I think of.
3:18
Teagan: A shuffle.
3:18
Teagan: Because that's what Mimi had.
3:20
Teagan: Yes.
3:21
Teagan: And then...
3:22
Teagan: That's Joe Hyphen.
3:24
Teagan: And then we had, like, the phone, but it was iPod Touch.
3:28
Teagan: Yeah, iPod Touch.
3:29
Speaker 00: Yeah, so the...
3:30
Speaker 00: This was like the latest version, too.
3:34
Speaker 00: It was a color screen.
3:35
Speaker 00: You were a badass when you got that.
3:36
Speaker 00: Not that it mattered.
3:37
Speaker 00: I mean, I was like in my 20s.
3:39
Speaker 00: You say it was
3:39
Teagan: colored?
3:40
Speaker 00: Colored, yeah.
3:41
Speaker 00: Like the screen?
3:41
Speaker 00: Like the screen had color.
3:42
Speaker 00: The original didn't have color.
3:43
Speaker 00: It was black and white.
3:44
Speaker 00: Oh, my God.
3:45
Speaker 00: Yeah.
3:49
Teagan: That's
3:49
Speaker 00: amazing.
3:50
Speaker 00: So this is really fun because this was not planned.
3:52
Speaker 00: Yeah, I wish it was...
3:56
Speaker 00: Could be charged.
3:58
Speaker 00: I don't even know.
3:58
Speaker 00: I could probably...
3:59
Speaker 00: Is it the
3:59
Teagan: long charge at the bottom?
4:01
Speaker 00: It's like a...
4:01
Speaker 00: Oh, yeah,
4:02
Teagan: it's the one that our iPad uses.
4:04
Teagan: Yeah, that's how old the iPad is.
4:06
Speaker 00: Okay, yeah, so it's the...
4:07
Teagan: I bet you we have one at home.
4:08
Teagan: I'll bring it next time.
4:10
Speaker 00: The vintage.
4:12
Teagan: Yeah.
4:13
Speaker 00: They
4:13
Teagan: sell them on eBay.
4:14
Speaker 00: Yeah, my first one was...
4:16
Speaker 00: This is 160 gigs.
4:19
Speaker 00: The first one was like...
4:22
Speaker 00: Yes.
4:23
Speaker 00: Yes.
4:25
Speaker 00: Yes.
4:29
Speaker 00: I just think it's hilarious.
4:40
Speaker 00: She's talking about an iPod, and I'm like, oh, that's great.
4:44
Speaker 00: And you're like, oh, cool, she's got an
4:45
Teagan: iPod?
4:45
Speaker 00: Like an iPod Touch, that's a whole different ballgame.
4:48
Teagan: Yeah.
4:48
Speaker 00: All right, that's number one.
4:50
Speaker 00: So funny.
4:52
Speaker 00: That is.
4:53
Speaker 00: So what else?
4:55
Speaker 00: Internet?
4:57
Teagan: Internet, yeah.
4:58
Teagan: Cell
4:58
Speaker 00: phones.
4:59
Speaker 00: Cell phones.
5:00
Speaker 00: What was the other thing I was thinking?
5:03
Speaker 00: Like an encyclopedia.
5:06
Speaker 00: Have you ever used an encyclopedia before?
5:08
Teagan: Like a dictionary?
5:09
Teagan: This is going to be so fun.
5:13
Speaker 00: This really is.
5:13
Speaker 00: It is like a dictionary.
5:15
Speaker 00: So they came in like volumes.
5:19
Speaker 00: You'd have letters like A, B.
5:21
Speaker 00: You would usually want one volume.
5:23
Speaker 00: I think S had its own volume.
5:24
Speaker 00: There were books.
5:27
Speaker 00: No.
5:27
Speaker 00: No?
5:27
Speaker 00: No.
5:27
Speaker 00: Yeah, and it told you about stuff.
5:29
Speaker 00: So
5:31
Teagan: like if you were at school and you were doing a report on...
5:34
Teagan: I don't
5:35
Speaker 00: know.
5:35
Speaker 00: Salamanders.
5:36
Teagan: Salamanders.
5:37
Teagan: You would go to the S book and you'd open
5:40
Speaker 00: it up.
5:41
Speaker 00: Pull
5:41
Teagan: that bad boy.
5:42
Teagan: And you'd look for salamanders kind of like a dictionary.
5:45
Speaker 00: Like a dictionary.
5:45
Speaker 00: But it would have a whole like...
5:48
Teagan: Paragraph of...
5:49
Speaker 00: A Wikipedia, if you will, on paper.
5:52
Teagan: I've only...
5:52
Teagan: I think I've only used that for Spanish class.
5:54
Teagan: That's probably a Spanish dictionary.
5:57
Teagan: But no, it had like the...
6:01
Teagan: Well, she used one of those Spanish encyclopedias.
6:08
Teagan: No, but how did the multiple volumes you're talking about?
6:11
Teagan: Was
6:12
Speaker 00: the second volume in French?
6:15
Speaker 00: That's
6:21
Teagan: hilarious.
6:22
Speaker 00: Yeah, so encyclopedias...
6:25
Speaker 00: Almost kind of where they got the name Wikipedia, Encyclopedia Wikipedia.
6:29
Speaker 00: Yes, see?
6:29
Speaker 00: Yeah.
6:29
Speaker 00: That's how you did a book report back in the day.
6:32
Speaker 00: That's awful.
6:33
Speaker 00: I didn't...
6:33
Speaker 00: No, it was.
6:34
Speaker 00: And I didn't use...
6:37
Speaker 00: I don't remember Google being around at all.
6:42
Speaker 00: Like, that wasn't a thing.
6:43
Teagan: You didn't have Google in college?
6:46
Speaker 00: In college, I think so.
6:48
Speaker 00: High school, I think we used, like, Yahoo.
6:50
Teagan: Oh, yeah.
6:51
Speaker 00: Commercial members.
6:51
Teagan: Yes.
6:52
Teagan: Yahoo.
6:52
Speaker 00: Yes.
6:54
Speaker 00: Yeah.
6:56
Teagan: Remember the X Encyclopedia?
6:58
Teagan: It was like X, Y together, and
7:01
Speaker 00: it was like all skinny.
7:01
Speaker 00: It was like W, X, Y, Z.
7:03
Speaker 00: Yeah, exactly.
7:05
Speaker 00: Exactly.
7:06
Speaker 00: But yeah, give you like an overview of whatever you're looking for.
7:08
Speaker 00: Yeah.
7:09
Speaker 00: People used to sell them.
7:11
Speaker 00: They were encyclopedia salesmen.
7:13
Speaker 00: Yeah, it'd come door to door.
7:14
Speaker 00: Door to door.
7:14
Speaker 00: That was before my time.
7:15
Speaker 00: Yeah.
7:17
Teagan: I think we probably got a couple encyclopedia salesmen.
7:21
Unknown: Yeah.
7:21
Speaker 00: I can almost guarantee my parents still have their encyclopedias.
7:24
Speaker 00: Okay, so encyclopedias,
7:26
Teagan: iPods.
7:28
Teagan: What
7:31
Speaker 00: else?
7:32
Teagan: What's another big thing?
7:33
Teagan: Live TV.
7:36
Speaker 00: Live TV was, yeah.
7:38
Teagan: Like, my kids never had live TV.
7:40
Teagan: We had DVDs and, like...
7:42
Teagan: Oh, I'm going to sound really young.
7:45
Teagan: The square ones.
7:47
Speaker 00: Oh,
7:48
Teagan: VHS.
7:48
Teagan: We had those.
7:51
Teagan: We had DVDs.
7:52
Teagan: That's what we used mostly, like, growing up.
7:55
Teagan: We usually watched DVDs.
7:56
Teagan: And then we had live TV downstairs when Brynn and I woke up at, like, 4 in the morning.
8:01
Teagan: We'd go downstairs and watch The Lopez Show.
8:03
Teagan: And then after that, we just had Netflix and, like, all the subscription stuff now.
8:08
Teagan: But it's like they don't know what it's like to have to run and pee during the commercial.
8:14
Teagan: Yeah.
8:14
Teagan: Now I do with Hulu.
8:16
Teagan: Well, you can pause it, though.
8:18
Teagan: No, there's still ads.
8:20
Teagan: Oh, yeah, there's ads now.
8:21
Teagan: Yeah, there's commercials.
8:22
Teagan: But you can pause it.
8:23
Teagan: Oh, yeah.
8:24
Teagan: Ew, you have ads in your Hulu?
8:25
Teagan: I'm not rich like you.
8:28
Teagan: Second job.
8:30
Teagan: Does your Netflix have ads?
8:32
Teagan: No.
8:33
Teagan: Hashtag Hulu sponsor
8:36
Speaker 00: us.
8:36
Speaker 00: Please, somebody.
8:36
Speaker 00: I
8:38
Teagan: just don't want the ads.
8:40
Speaker 00: What else do we have?
8:40
Speaker 00: Commercials.
8:41
Speaker 00: So yeah, you...
8:42
Speaker 00: I mean, Hulu commercials aside, your mom and I were talking about just last week, I think, like when we saw a show, because we talked about sitcoms last week.
8:54
Speaker 00: If you saw a show and it was like a great episode or a great show, you may not see that show again for like a year.
9:02
Speaker 00: Yeah.
9:04
Speaker 00: There was nowhere to find it.
9:05
Speaker 00: YouTube wasn't a thing.
9:07
Speaker 00: If
9:07
Teagan: you missed a part...
9:08
Speaker 00: Oh, yeah.
9:09
Teagan: That's it.
9:09
Teagan: You're done.
9:10
Speaker 00: So I did...
9:13
Teagan: Oh, good.
9:14
Speaker 00: I saw...
9:15
Speaker 00: It's all
9:17
Teagan: good.
9:18
Speaker 00: I saw an Instagram video.
9:20
Speaker 00: I don't watch the TikTok.
9:23
Teagan: So Instagram reels are just reposted TikToks?
9:25
Teagan: No, loser.
9:30
Speaker 00: I was watching an Instagram video.
9:32
Speaker 00: There was a father...
9:35
Speaker 00: I think it was a father and his daughter.
9:40
Teagan: Yeah.
9:41
Speaker 00: He was giving her names of things and seeing if she can guess what they were.
9:46
Speaker 00: So I sent it to your mom.
9:50
Speaker 00: I was like, this is what we need to do with Teagan because I want to see if she can guess what these things are.
9:54
Speaker 00: Or if you know.
9:55
Speaker 00: If you know them, that's great.
9:56
Speaker 00: And I saw your list when you showed me earlier.
10:00
Teagan: Yeah.
10:01
Speaker 00: And I saw two right off the bat that we both had.
10:04
Speaker 00: Pogs.
10:07
Speaker 00: Do you know what pogs are?
10:11
Teagan: Like P-O-G?
10:13
Speaker 00: Yeah, P-O-G.
10:15
Teagan: She's smart.
10:16
Teagan: P-O-G, pog.
10:18
Teagan: All I can think of is like a hog, like a pig.
10:21
Teagan: Okay.
10:23
Speaker 00: Or
10:24
Teagan: like sometimes like pod.
10:26
Speaker 00: Hold on one second, I'll be right
10:28
Teagan: back.
10:28
Teagan: Oh.
10:28
Teagan: If you grab a pog, I'll smack you in the face.
10:31
Teagan: Is this your prop?
10:31
Teagan: Oh my God, I just told your film, isn't it?
10:34
Teagan: Is it not?
10:36
Teagan: Can I open it?
10:37
Teagan: Yeah.
10:37
Teagan: Am I right?
10:38
Teagan: Oh,
10:39
Speaker 00: no, those are pogs.
10:40
Speaker 00: What
10:42
Teagan: the hell is
10:45
Speaker 00: it?
10:45
Speaker 00: It's a pog.
10:46
Teagan: Are there more in there?
10:47
Teagan: Yeah, there's a bunch.
10:48
Teagan: Can I take it out?
10:49
Speaker 00: Those are my Simpsons pogs.
10:50
Speaker 00: Be very careful.
10:51
Speaker 00: Those were my safe.
10:53
Teagan: No.
10:54
Teagan: Oh, my gosh.
10:55
Speaker 00: So I grabbed those from my parents' house last time.
10:58
Speaker 00: Well, not last time, but a while back.
11:00
Speaker 00: I was there just rummaging.
11:01
Speaker 00: And I was like, oh, my goodness, my pogs.
11:04
Teagan: Yeah.
11:04
Speaker 00: So...
11:04
Speaker 00: My son was like, oh, I need these, so was taking them.
11:09
Speaker 00: And you were like, don't touch them.
11:10
Speaker 00: Pretty much.
11:11
Speaker 00: I gave him all the doubles.
11:12
Speaker 00: Oh, good one.
11:13
Speaker 00: That's what I was looking for originally.
11:14
Teagan: What is it?
11:15
Speaker 00: It's a pog.
11:17
Teagan: That's a pog, Teagan.
11:18
Teagan: Is it just characters and shows?
11:21
Speaker 00: So those in the 90s, I wish I have a big tube of like the pogs.
11:25
Speaker 00: So I'll give you a breakdown.
11:27
Speaker 00: A pog.
11:29
Teagan: You just keep saying it over and over.
11:32
Teagan: It's a pog.
11:33
Teagan: A
11:34
Speaker 00: pog was, it was game.
11:36
Speaker 00: It's a
11:37
Teagan: game?
11:38
Speaker 00: It's a game.
11:38
Speaker 00: Oh,
11:40
Teagan: is it a matching game?
11:41
Speaker 00: It's not.
11:42
Teagan: Oh,
11:42
Speaker 00: you just have two?
11:43
Speaker 00: It's a listening game.
11:44
Speaker 00: No, I'm just kidding.
11:47
Teagan: Like mother, like daughter.
11:50
Speaker 00: So you would have your pogs.
11:52
Speaker 00: I'd have my pogs, right?
11:53
Speaker 00: Mine were fake pogs from the dollar store.
11:55
Speaker 00: And we'd stack them up in a little stack, right?
12:00
Speaker 00: And I don't have this with me now, but then you would have what was called a slammer.
12:05
Speaker 00: And it was a heavy piece of plastic or metal.
12:08
Speaker 00: You would slam the metal or the slammer on the pile and they'd flip.
12:15
Speaker 00: If they flipped over a certain way, you took those pogs and the other person would take the other pogs.
12:19
Teagan: Did you ever get in a pog fight?
12:21
Speaker 00: Pogs are all about fights.
12:22
Speaker 00: That was it.
12:24
Speaker 00: That's the game.
12:25
Teagan: Because then, see, you would take other people's pogs.
12:27
Speaker 00: Yeah.
12:27
Speaker 00: We traded them.
12:29
Speaker 00: We collected them.
12:30
Teagan: But I don't get it.
12:32
Speaker 00: I don't get it either, but they were my life for like a year.
12:34
Speaker 00: That's all we cared about.
12:36
Teagan: You flip it over.
12:36
Teagan: When you hit it, And they all flip over.
12:39
Teagan: You all go for the same cards?
12:41
Speaker 00: No, like, you hit it with your slammer.
12:44
Speaker 00: The ones that flip over, like, a certain way.
12:46
Speaker 00: Yeah.
12:46
Speaker 00: I'm actually not remembering.
12:48
Speaker 00: Yeah.
12:49
Speaker 00: Like, if they all flipped up a certain way, like, over, you would take those pogs and restack the other ones that didn't flip over.
12:54
Speaker 00: The next person with them.
12:55
Teagan: Oh, the next person.
12:56
Speaker 00: Yeah, then the next person with the pile with their slammer and so on and so forth.
13:00
Speaker 00: So how
13:00
Teagan: would you get in fights over it?
13:02
Teagan: Because you could, like, you could lose your, like, favorite pog.
13:07
Speaker 00: Yeah.
13:08
Teagan: Because, like, your pogs are in.
13:10
Speaker 00: You mix your pogs together.
13:11
Speaker 00: You mix your pods
13:12
Teagan: together.
13:12
Teagan: And so,
13:13
Speaker 00: like,
13:15
Teagan: let's say I, and those all fell, and so I got to take some of Will's pogs.
13:20
Teagan: But realistically, you could have just
13:23
Speaker 00: kept it, right?
13:23
Speaker 00: She's
13:24
Teagan: such a cheater.
13:25
Speaker 00: Not in the pog game.
13:26
Teagan: Okay.
13:27
Speaker 00: You didn't roll with the crew I ran with.
13:29
Speaker 00: It was serious.
13:30
Speaker 00: It was like
13:31
Teagan: Pokemon cards.
13:34
Speaker 00: Only you didn't have to be, like, intelligent.
13:36
Speaker 00: Kind of like a...
13:38
Speaker 00: You just took your circles and you called it
13:41
Teagan: a day.
13:42
Teagan: It
13:42
Speaker 00: was really...
13:43
Speaker 00: But in the same way as Pokemon cards, it was a collector's set.
13:47
Speaker 00: Like, we collected them.
13:48
Speaker 00: But
13:49
Teagan: there were fancy Pogs, right?
13:51
Speaker 00: There were fancy Pogs.
13:51
Speaker 00: There were all different kinds.
13:53
Speaker 00: There were funny Pogs.
13:54
Speaker 00: Fancy.
13:55
Speaker 00: I think that's an actual Pog container.
13:58
Speaker 00: So it probably says Pog.
14:00
Teagan: And you're right.
14:01
Teagan: It looks similar to a...
14:03
Teagan: I've got to put the readers on,
14:06
Speaker 00: Will.
14:06
Speaker 00: Put the readers on.
14:08
Speaker 00: It was created from, if I remember correctly, it was a Hawaiian milk caps.
14:14
Speaker 00: Whoever invented them, they got them from milk caps, I think, and they started the game.
14:20
Speaker 00: This is
14:21
Teagan: R-O-H-K-S.
14:24
Teagan: That's what I thought.
14:25
Teagan: I thought I was
14:26
Speaker 00: wrong.
14:26
Speaker 00: Oh, then I don't know.
14:27
Speaker 00: It was probably a...
14:28
Speaker 00: Just a holder that I bought.
14:32
Teagan: Don't lose his pogs.
14:33
Speaker 00: Those are official Simpsons pogs.
14:35
Speaker 00: Those are the real deal, my friend.
14:38
Teagan: Not your dollar store
14:40
Speaker 00: ones?
14:40
Speaker 00: Not my dollar store ones.
14:41
Teagan: Where are those?
14:42
Teagan: Gone?
14:43
Speaker 00: They're at my parents' somewhere.
14:45
Speaker 00: I can find them.
14:45
Speaker 00: Did you
14:46
Teagan: buy them at Jarek's ever?
14:47
Speaker 00: Oh, that was a big hog place.
14:49
Speaker 00: How long
14:49
Teagan: has Jarek's been around?
14:50
Teagan: Oh, forever.
14:51
Speaker 00: That was like my favorite place growing up.
14:53
Teagan: It's been the same owner, too.
14:54
Speaker 00: Yeah?
14:55
Unknown: Yeah.
14:56
Speaker 00: Yeah, I'd always leave there with something awesome.
14:58
Teagan: Yeah.
14:59
Speaker 00: But yeah, those were pogs.
15:00
Speaker 00: That was the first one.
15:01
Speaker 00: Good times.
15:04
Speaker 00: It was literally just a thing in the 90s.
15:06
Speaker 00: We enjoyed them.
15:07
Speaker 00: It was...
15:08
Teagan: As a teacher, because I started teaching in 99, so they were still around.
15:15
Teagan: They were still around, still holding on.
15:17
Teagan: It was like my desk was full of them for a while there.
15:20
Speaker 00: Yeah, so pogs.
15:23
Speaker 00: Yeah.
15:25
Teagan: What's the other one you had, same as me?
15:26
Teagan: I think I probably know.
15:29
Speaker 00: Tamagotchi.
15:29
Speaker 00: Tamagotchi.
15:30
Speaker 00: I
15:31
Teagan: know those.
15:31
Teagan: You know those?
15:32
Teagan: I know those.
15:32
Teagan: Young Sheldon also.
15:33
Teagan: Oh.
15:34
Teagan: Damn that kid.
15:36
Speaker 00: Yeah, right?
15:37
Teagan: I've only watched the first season.
15:38
Teagan: Wow.
15:39
Speaker 00: Apparently that's the criminal.
15:40
Speaker 00: It's like the little animal that you keep
15:41
Teagan: alive and you don't feed it enough or at the right time it dies.
15:45
Teagan: Yeah.
15:45
Teagan: So does it actually die or can you get a new animal after?
15:49
Teagan: Yeah.
15:51
Speaker 00: You can restart it, I think.
15:52
Speaker 00: Yeah, I think you, like,
15:53
Teagan: reset it.
15:54
Speaker 00: But there was, like, a time where it'd be like, oh, I need you to watch my Tamagotchi.
15:59
Teagan: Yeah.
16:00
Speaker 00: Like, people would ask you, like, hey, I need you to watch my Tamagotchi for me.
16:03
Speaker 00: My pet.
16:04
Speaker 00: And keep it alive.
16:05
Teagan: Tamagotchi apps now.
16:07
Speaker 00: Is there?
16:08
Teagan: That you can add as a widget on your phone.
16:10
Speaker 00: Huh.
16:10
Speaker 00: I have a three-year-old Tamagotchi.
16:14
Speaker 00: I'm doing all right with that one.
16:16
Teagan: We didn't have reminders with
16:17
Speaker 00: our Tamagotchis.
16:18
Speaker 00: That's right.
16:18
Speaker 00: We
16:19
Teagan: didn't have no app.
16:20
Speaker 00: Yeah.
16:21
Speaker 00: We had to look in the encyclopedia and see how to keep it alive.
16:24
Speaker 00: No, the Tamagotchi
16:24
Teagan: is on your phone, not like an app to remind you.
16:26
Teagan: Like it's a quote-unquote game.
16:29
Speaker 00: Interesting.
16:31
Teagan: Okay.
16:32
Speaker 00: Well, you should get one.
16:34
Speaker 00: Let us know how it goes.
16:35
Speaker 00: Keep us posted.
16:36
Teagan: Oh, good one.
16:39
Speaker 00: How about if I...
16:40
Speaker 00: tell you to make a collect call?
16:46
Teagan: I've heard of it.
16:46
Teagan: I don't know.
16:49
Speaker 00: Okay.
16:49
Speaker 00: Collect call was when phone calls cost money.
16:53
Speaker 00: Oh,
16:55
Teagan: yeah.
16:56
Speaker 00: Or like if you used a pay phone, you could make a collect call and you could call your parents and an operator would come on and would say, do you accept the call from?
17:06
Speaker 00: And then you'd be like, well, and they'd be like, yes, I accept.
17:10
Speaker 00: And then you could complete the phone call.
17:12
Teagan: So then it would be on their like phone bill because you didn't have a quarter to put in the phone or a dime.
17:18
Speaker 00: So the way we used collect calls were.
17:20
Teagan: Yes, this was great.
17:21
Speaker 00: Do you accept a collect call for a mom?
17:23
Speaker 00: Pick me up.
17:23
Teagan: Yep.
17:24
Speaker 00: And that's how my parents knew to come pick me up from wherever I was.
17:27
Speaker 00: So like when we would go to
17:28
Teagan: the mall, there was like a ring of pay phones.
17:33
Speaker 00: Pay phone bank.
17:34
Teagan: Yeah.
17:34
Teagan: At the entrance of the mall.
17:36
Teagan: And when it was time for your mom to pick you up.
17:40
Teagan: That's what you would do.
17:41
Teagan: I'd be like, pick me up by Filene's.
17:46
Teagan: And then so my mom, do you accept Filene's?
17:52
Teagan: Do you accept the collect call from pick me up from Filene's?
17:56
Teagan: Although I think it was G Fox at the time.
17:58
Speaker 00: There was a commercial.
18:00
Speaker 00: It was 1-800-COLLECT was what you dialed.
18:04
Speaker 00: So they advertised it.
18:06
Speaker 00: There's an advertisement where there's an old guy sitting there.
18:09
Speaker 00: He picks up, and they're like, what call from?
18:11
Speaker 00: And the guy goes, Bob, we had a baby.
18:12
Speaker 00: It's a boy.
18:13
Speaker 00: And the guy hangs up, and the wife's like, who was that?
18:18
Speaker 00: And he's like, oh, Bob, they had a baby.
18:19
Speaker 00: It's a boy.
18:21
Teagan: I do remember that.
18:22
Speaker 00: That's what I was saying earlier when I was like, Bob, we had a baby.
18:25
Speaker 00: It's a boy.
18:25
Speaker 00: Yes.
18:26
Teagan: Oh, my gosh.
18:26
Teagan: That's so funny.
18:27
Speaker 00: So that's how everybody used these.
18:29
Speaker 00: So even 1-800-COLLECT knew.
18:31
Speaker 00: How it was used.
18:32
Speaker 00: Yeah, totally.
18:34
Speaker 00: And abused.
18:34
Teagan: So then you get it.
18:35
Teagan: So then your parent would say like, no, I don't accept the charges.
18:39
Teagan: Yeah.
18:40
Teagan: Because they got the message.
18:41
Teagan: Yeah.
18:42
Teagan: Yeah.
18:42
Speaker 00: It's pretty great.
18:42
Speaker 00: This is going to come back to us.
18:44
Speaker 00: Yeah, it is.
18:45
Speaker 00: We're going to get back charged for all that.
18:47
Speaker 00: I know.
18:48
Speaker 00: That and Columbia House are going to come after
18:51
Teagan: us.
18:51
Teagan: How about Columbia House?
18:53
Teagan: I don't have that written down.
18:54
Teagan: Oh, yeah.
18:55
Teagan: Is it like coffee?
18:58
Speaker 00: Coffee?
18:58
Speaker 00: Is it not coffee?
18:59
Speaker 00: It's a good guess.
19:00
Speaker 00: I
19:00
Teagan: could hear that.
19:01
Speaker 00: Your
19:02
Teagan: dad used Columbia House.
19:04
Teagan: I don't know what it is.
19:06
Teagan: I thought it was coffee.
19:08
Speaker 00: That's a good guess.
19:08
Speaker 00: I know, it is.
19:09
Speaker 00: Columbia House.
19:10
Speaker 00: You
19:12
Teagan: would mail in a penny.
19:14
Speaker 00: And they would mail you 12 CDs or tapes.
19:18
Teagan: Or tapes.
19:19
Teagan: In my case, the Gen X-er.
19:22
Speaker 00: Because you joined Columbia House.
19:24
Teagan: So then you joined, it was like a club, if you will.
19:29
Teagan: And you would have this list of either tapes or CDs that you could buy.
19:39
Teagan: And you could pick 12, and you mail them a penny, and they come six to eight months later.
19:47
Teagan: And then...
19:49
Teagan: Just a penny?
19:51
Teagan: Yes, a penny.
19:52
Teagan: But the trick was you then were, like, married to them, and you had to buy, like, what?
20:00
Speaker 00: They would send you a random.
20:01
Speaker 00: One a month.
20:01
Speaker 00: If you didn't pick one, they would send you a random CD.
20:03
Speaker 00: But it was,
20:04
Teagan: like, obnoxiously expensive.
20:06
Speaker 00: Yeah.
20:06
Teagan: Right?
20:07
Teagan: It was, like, at the time, I remember, like, $18.
20:09
Teagan: Yeah,
20:10
Speaker 00: I remember it was, like, $20.
20:11
Speaker 00: Yeah.
20:12
Speaker 00: I got, like, an Atari CD, and I was like, I don't want
20:15
Teagan: it.
20:15
Teagan: Yes.
20:15
Teagan: Yes.
20:16
Speaker 00: All right, my next one for you is Gak.
20:22
Teagan: Yes.
20:22
Teagan: Gak.
20:24
Teagan: Like yak.
20:28
Speaker 00: Like a yak, but with a G.
20:30
Speaker 00: Gak.
20:31
Teagan: Gak.
20:31
Teagan: I don't know.
20:32
Teagan: Like something's gross.
20:33
Teagan: I don't know.
20:36
Teagan: Is it something or is it like you're saying something?
20:38
Teagan: It's a thing.
20:39
Teagan: You buy Gak.
20:40
Teagan: I don't know.
20:42
Teagan: Make a guess.
20:44
Teagan: I feel like it's something...
20:46
Teagan: I don't know what you would buy.
20:47
Teagan: I feel like it's something you would say like that's gross.
20:49
Teagan: Like...
20:49
Teagan: Gak.
20:50
Speaker 00: Yeah, like that.
20:51
Speaker 00: That's so Gak.
20:52
Speaker 00: You're so Gak.
20:53
Speaker 00: I don't know.
20:54
Speaker 00: What is it?
20:54
Speaker 00: Stop trying to make Gak a thing.
20:55
Speaker 00: Yeah, yeah, like that.
20:59
Speaker 00: It was basically slime.
21:00
Speaker 00: It was Nickelodeon Gak.
21:02
Speaker 00: Nickelodeon had these things.
21:05
Speaker 00: So they had Gak and they had Floam.
21:07
Speaker 00: Floam was like...
21:10
Teagan: Foam?
21:11
Speaker 00: It was like foam slash styrofoam.
21:14
Speaker 00: It had like little beads.
21:16
Teagan: Almost like Bobbity.
21:19
Teagan: Slime, but they were tiny.
21:20
Teagan: Slime?
21:21
Speaker 00: But it was more of like a foamy kind of like, almost like kinetic sand in a way, where you could like make shapes out of it and stuff.
21:29
Speaker 00: Oh,
21:31
Teagan: yes.
21:31
Teagan: I know what you're talking about.
21:32
Teagan: There was, what's it called?
21:34
Teagan: It's like...
21:34
Teagan: I know which one you're talking about.
21:36
Teagan: I know what you're talking about.
21:37
Teagan: I forget the name for it, though.
21:38
Speaker 00: Like, they had a bunch of, like, spin-offs of it, whatever you would call them.
21:43
Speaker 00: So I'm sure they still have it around now.
21:45
Speaker 00: I know what you're talking
21:46
Teagan: about.
21:46
Teagan: The little styrofoam balls.
21:47
Teagan: Yeah.
21:48
Teagan: And it was, like, it stuck together.
21:50
Teagan: I know exactly what you're talking about, but I don't know the name of
21:52
Speaker 00: it.
21:52
Speaker 00: So it was Nickelodeon.
21:54
Speaker 00: That was part of their toy line.
21:55
Speaker 00: It was called Floam, and it was, like, really cool when it came out.
21:59
Speaker 00: I remember...
21:59
Speaker 00: making things with it, and it was like, sculpt things.
22:05
Speaker 00: I don't know.
22:05
Speaker 00: So, Floam, Greg.
22:07
Speaker 00: That
22:08
Teagan: stuff, Rachel used to add to her slime.
22:10
Teagan: That's the stuff that you add to slime.
22:12
Teagan: That's the kind of stuff, like kinetic stands, that, whatever the...
22:15
Teagan: Gak.
22:17
Speaker 00: Yeah.
22:18
Speaker 00: So I was going to say, so you could like add phloem to Gak and really make a mess.
22:22
Speaker 00: Yeah, you could.
22:23
Speaker 00: Something awesome.
22:24
Speaker 00: Nice.
22:25
Speaker 00: All right.
22:26
Speaker 00: So that was a good guess because it is something gross in a way.
22:28
Speaker 00: It's slime.
22:29
Speaker 00: Yeah.
22:31
Speaker 00: How about, and this is still around, so you may know it.
22:35
Speaker 00: Yeah.
22:36
Speaker 00: Bop it.
22:37
Unknown: Yeah.
22:37
Teagan: Bop It! I've never played with one, but I know what it is.
22:40
Teagan: I remember it from Gilmore Girls.
22:43
Teagan: Yeah.
22:43
Teagan: During the Bad Date episode of Luke and Lorelai, and then when Rory and Dean got back together, they whipped out the Bop It.
22:49
Teagan: Yeah, and it got nasty.
22:50
Teagan: Yeah.
22:51
Teagan: Dean and Luke got in a fight over it.
22:55
Teagan: Yeah.
22:55
Speaker 00: Bop It was fun.
22:56
Speaker 00: It was 90s Simon.
22:59
Teagan: Bop It.
22:59
Teagan: Pretty much, right?
23:00
Teagan: It was like the same thing.
23:02
Teagan: They made it a little bit more active.
23:03
Speaker 00: Yeah.
23:03
Speaker 00: Did you ever play Simon with the lights?
23:05
Speaker 00: No.
23:07
Teagan: No.
23:08
Speaker 00: That was an 80s thing.
23:09
Teagan: That was 80s.
23:10
Teagan: I loved Simon.
23:11
Teagan: Like Simon Says?
23:12
Speaker 00: It was called Simon, and it was...
23:14
Speaker 00: Because it was
23:14
Teagan: kind of like Simon
23:15
Speaker 00: Says.
23:16
Speaker 00: Yeah, it was just four...
23:17
Speaker 00: It was a round thing.
23:20
Speaker 00: Eh,
23:20
Teagan: it's a little bigger than that.
23:21
Teagan: Oh, okay.
23:26
Speaker 00: Let everyone know I'm widening my fictitious circle.
23:32
Speaker 00: There were four colored buttons, so it was like yellow, red, green, blue.
23:35
Speaker 00: And it would...
23:36
Speaker 00: So basic, as the kids would say 10 years ago.
23:41
Speaker 00: Like one would light up and it would go beep and light up and you'd hit it and then it would go beep, beep.
23:48
Speaker 00: So you'd follow the pattern.
23:50
Teagan: Yeah.
23:50
Speaker 00: And it eventually got really hard because you'd have to remember.
23:52
Teagan: Yeah.
23:53
Teagan: One of Claire had that.

25:34
Speaker 00: Oh, did you?
25:35
Speaker 00: Yeah.
25:35
Speaker 00: I specifically remember my mom finding it and being like, oh.
25:38
Speaker 00: So
25:38
Teagan: basically everything you guys talk about goes online.
25:40
Teagan: Yeah.
25:42
Speaker 00: Yeah.
25:43
Teagan: Yeah.
25:44
Speaker 00: Yeah.
25:44
Speaker 00: Again, the internet wasn't like a thing.
25:46
Speaker 00: It
25:46
Teagan: wasn't a thing.
25:47
Teagan: Um, my favorite.
25:49
Teagan: Okay.
25:49
Teagan: So, um, her dad and I went to Oneonta together and I have a visual of sitting in like the, um, the union it was called.
26:02
Teagan: And we were waiting for him to eat, to go get food and he was taking forever.
26:07
Teagan: And we're like, where's, where is he?
26:09
Teagan: You know?
26:10
Teagan: And he came back and he was like, guys, I was in the computer lab and I was like surfing the web.
26:21
Teagan: And we're like, what?
26:23
Teagan: He's like, yeah.
26:25
Teagan: And it was like his first time surfing the web and he found out what it was.
26:30
Teagan: But like Googling stuff?
26:34
Speaker 00: Just being on the internet.
26:36
Teagan: Yeah.
26:36
Teagan: I guess maybe he would kind of Google stuff.
26:40
Teagan: Although at the time...
26:42
Teagan: Clarify surfing the web.
26:43
Teagan: Huh?
26:43
Teagan: Clarify surfing the web.
26:45
Teagan: Looking for...
26:45
Teagan: Yeah, looking stuff up.
26:48
Speaker 00: So if I remember correctly, we used to look everything up through AOL?
26:52
Teagan: Was that...
26:53
Teagan: Or was it Yahoo?
26:56
Speaker 00: Yeah, there was Yahoo.
26:57
Teagan: Because AOL you had to subscribe to.
26:59
Teagan: Like, I never had AOL.
27:01
Speaker 00: Basically, your dad was late because he was like, I just found endless boobs.
27:05
Speaker 00: Oh,
27:07
Teagan: he knows daddy.
27:08
Teagan: Yeah.
27:12
Speaker 00: Yeah, I remember when we...
27:13
Speaker 00: So I was in middle school.
27:15
Speaker 00: I think I was like eighth grade when they brought in like computers and like the web and stuff like
27:20
Teagan: that.
27:21
Speaker 00: And there was...
27:23
Speaker 00: Wait,
27:23
Teagan: how far apart are you guys?
27:24
Speaker 00: Eight years.
27:25
Speaker 00: Eight years.
27:26
Speaker 00: So they didn't have any like...
27:30
Speaker 00: You could search anything.
27:34
Speaker 00: There was no, like...
27:34
Teagan: Oh, there were no filters?
27:35
Speaker 00: There were no filters.
27:36
Speaker 00: There was no locks.
27:37
Speaker 00: Like, I remember a lot of people getting in trouble.
27:39
Speaker 00: Oh,
27:40
Teagan: that's so
27:40
Speaker 00: funny.
27:42
Teagan: But after Daddy came back, we went and we got our lunch, and I was eating a Dannon yogurt.
27:47
Teagan: And I looked at the side of it, and I was like, www.dannon.com.
27:54
Teagan: I was like, oh my gosh, is this what you're talking about?
27:57
Teagan: He was like, yeah, that's a website.
28:00
Teagan: Shut up.
28:01
Speaker 00: That was the other thing is I remember when commercials started putting websites on the bottom of the screen.
28:08
Teagan: Yes.
28:09
Speaker 00: And I specifically remember my parents being like, what is
28:12
Teagan: that?
28:13
Teagan: Yes.
28:13
Teagan: Because it was like, it took a bit.
28:17
Teagan: for it to catch
28:19
Speaker 00: on.
28:19
Speaker 00: Because you did.
28:20
Speaker 00: You had to go in and you would type into the web browser, www.whatever the website was.
28:25
Speaker 00: I feel like I'll
28:26
Teagan: never hear that on radio.
28:28
Teagan: I feel like I've never seen that on commercials.
28:30
Teagan: www?
28:31
Teagan: Yeah.
28:31
Speaker 00: Yeah.
28:32
Speaker 00: Because now you just Google it.
28:33
Teagan: Yeah.
28:34
Speaker 00: Just
28:35
Teagan: look it up.
28:36
Speaker 00: Just look it
28:36
Teagan: up.
28:36
Teagan: You just look it up.
28:38
Speaker 00: Honestly, just say it loud enough, your phone
28:40
Teagan: will bring it up at some point.
28:42
Teagan: Or just think it.
28:44
Teagan: It will give you.
28:45
Teagan: I know.
28:48
Speaker 00: How about, this is probably still around, maybe, I don't know, Furby?
28:53
Teagan: I love Furbies! Okay, you know Furbies.
28:55
Teagan: Dad used to call me Furby in college.
28:57
Teagan: Okay, so, I don't know if we had...
29:00
Teagan: We're just
29:03
Speaker 00: going to breeze over that.
29:06
Teagan: Now I'm hearing what you said.
29:07
Teagan: I don't know if we had, like, the real Furbies, but we had, like, I think they were, like, the upgraded versions of Furbies.
29:17
Teagan: And when me and Brynn got them for Christmas, we got the Furbies, like, we had multiple of them, but there were also, like, different, like, quote-unquote series of Furbies.
29:29
Teagan: Okay.
29:30
Teagan: So they had, like, the mouse that would run around the house.
29:33
Teagan: Huh.
29:34
Teagan: So we had that.
29:35
Teagan: I completely forgot about that.
29:37
Teagan: Yeah, those were also, like, the Furbies, like, brand, I think.
29:41
Teagan: There was multiple stuff that was Furby's brand, but not specifically.
29:45
Teagan: I know at Furby's you're talking about the blinking eyes and stuff.
29:48
Speaker 00: The freaky things.
29:50
Teagan: That one movie.
29:51
Teagan: Gremlins?
29:53
Teagan: I don't know.
29:53
Teagan: It's like a monster.
29:55
Teagan: There's multiple of them.
29:56
Teagan: Yeah, Gremlins.
29:57
Teagan: So we had Furby's, but we also had the other Furby's products.
30:04
Teagan: I totally forgot about the little mouse.
30:06
Teagan: We had the mouse, and then we had...
30:07
Teagan: There was something else, but I really remember the mouse running around the house.
30:11
Teagan: Yeah.
30:13
Speaker 00: You might have just had rodents.
30:14
Speaker 00: Yeah.
30:18
Speaker 00: Look at that.
30:19
Speaker 00: We're unlocking family memories.
30:21
Speaker 00: This is nice.
30:22
Speaker 00: Don't
30:22
Teagan: tell
30:23
Speaker 00: the whole world.
30:23
Speaker 00: This is another one a lot of people know.
30:28
Speaker 00: If I told you GoldenEye.
30:30
Teagan: All I think of is Michael Scott.
30:35
Unknown: Yeah.
30:35
Teagan: We're so proud.
30:37
Speaker 00: As you should be.
30:38
Speaker 00: If I told you my friends and I were going to play Goldeneye.
30:41
Teagan: No
30:43
Speaker 00: clue.
30:43
Speaker 00: Oh my goodness, okay.
30:45
Speaker 00: I don't know
30:46
Teagan: Goldeneye.
30:46
Speaker 00: Okay, that's kind of what I figured.
30:48
Teagan: Yeah.
30:49
Speaker 00: Goldeneye was the greatest video game ever made for Nintendo 64.
30:54
Speaker 00: Do you know what a Nintendo 64 is?
30:57
Teagan: I know what a Nintendo is.
30:59
Speaker 00: Not a 64?
31:00
Teagan: No.
31:00
Teagan: Do
31:02
Speaker 00: I have to go leave the room again?
31:03
Speaker 00: Because I have one downstairs.
31:04
Speaker 00: Do you have one in your safe?
31:05
Speaker 00: I have one downstairs.
31:08
Speaker 00: Nintendo 64 came out in 1996.
31:11
Speaker 00: It was like the greatest video game console system ever made.
31:15
Speaker 00: So Goldeneye was...
31:17
Speaker 00: So an
31:17
Teagan: Xbox?
31:17
Speaker 00: What's that?
31:18
Teagan: So an Xbox?
31:19
Speaker 00: No.
31:19
Speaker 00: It was a Nintendo.
31:24
Speaker 00: It was a cartridge game.
31:25
Speaker 00: Blowing a cartridge.
31:27
Speaker 00: No?
31:27
Teagan: No.
31:28
Teagan: Really?
31:29
Teagan: No.
31:31
Speaker 00: I really might have to go downstairs and grab you some Nintendo games.
31:33
Speaker 00: What do you
31:33
Teagan: mean cartridge?
31:36
Speaker 00: Oh my goodness.
31:36
Speaker 00: All right, hold on.
31:38
Teagan: Nintendo?
31:39
Speaker 00: What do we start with here?
31:40
Teagan: This is great.
31:41
Teagan: Nintendo cartridge.
31:44
Speaker 00: This is a Nintendo 64.
31:45
Speaker 00: Oh
31:45
Teagan: my God.
31:47
Speaker 00: The greatest console ever made,
31:51
Teagan: okay?
31:51
Teagan: You know that looks fancy to me, right?
31:54
Speaker 00: I'm sure, because it's not Atari.
31:56
Speaker 00: Because
31:56
Teagan: it's not Atari.
31:57
Teagan: That's exactly right.
31:58
Teagan: It's Atari.
31:59
Speaker 00: This is a Nintendo 64 controller.
32:02
Teagan: That looks like a whole spaceship.
32:07
Speaker 00: So it's
32:08
Teagan: just, Xbox just copied Nintendo.
32:10
Speaker 00: Essentially.
32:11
Speaker 00: There's a second joystick on Xbox, right?
32:16
Speaker 00: There's two joysticks?
32:17
Teagan: Yes, yeah.
32:18
Teagan: Over here, yeah.
32:21
Speaker 00: I don't know if there's any games in here, actually.
32:22
Speaker 00: I don't know.
32:23
Teagan: What the hell is that?
32:24
Teagan: Is that the charger?
32:24
Teagan: The what?
32:26
Teagan: Charger.
32:29
Speaker 00: No, so you don't charge it.
32:31
Speaker 00: It has to stay connected to the system.
32:34
Speaker 00: So
32:34
Teagan: what's
32:35
Speaker 00: that?
32:35
Speaker 00: That's where you put a memory card or a rumble pack.
32:37
Speaker 00: The rumble pack made it
32:41
Teagan: vibrate.
32:41
Teagan: Oh, yes.
32:41
Teagan: What?
32:43
Teagan: Like, let's say you're playing, like, a motorcycle game or something.
32:46
Teagan: It's like a zzz.
32:47
Teagan: Yes, exactly.
32:49
Teagan: Oh, you do have a game.
32:50
Speaker 00: This is a Nintendo 64 game.
32:52
Speaker 00: So it came in a cartridge.
32:56
Teagan: So that was like DSs, just DSs were smaller.
33:00
Speaker 00: Essentially, yeah.
33:02
Teagan: Because they had the little cards that you put in for the games.
33:04
Speaker 00: Yeah.
33:04
Speaker 00: So what happened is you'd go to start the game and it wouldn't work and you...
33:08
Speaker 00: You blow on it.
33:10
Teagan: Oh, and it worked.
33:11
Speaker 00: And it worked.
33:11
Speaker 00: And I think it says somewhere in here, do not blow on
33:14
Teagan: it.
33:14
Teagan: Oh, that's hilarious.
33:15
Speaker 00: Do not blow on the edge connector or touch with your fingers.
33:19
Speaker 00: So that was the second thing you did if it didn't work.
33:21
Speaker 00: You would touch it with your
33:24
Teagan: fingers.
33:24
Speaker 00: But, yeah, so this is how you got it.
33:26
Speaker 00: This is the game.
33:26
Speaker 00: And stick that bad boy in there.
33:31
Teagan: You could also rent games.
33:33
Speaker 00: You could rent games.
33:34
Teagan: Like Redbox?
33:35
Unknown: Yeah.
33:36
Teagan: Yeah.
33:36
Teagan: Kind of.
33:38
Speaker 00: Only
33:38
Teagan: a store.
33:39
Teagan: But at the store.
33:42
Teagan: Yeah.
33:42
Teagan: It's like with the video store I worked at.
33:44
Teagan: You could go in and you could rent these video games.
33:48
Teagan: Radio Shack?
33:48
Teagan: No.
33:50
Teagan: You're thinking Blockbuster.
33:52
Teagan: Radio Shack is like...
33:55
Speaker 00: So this was Sega Genesis.
33:56
Speaker 00: This was before...
33:57
Speaker 00: Sega.
33:58
Speaker 00: That was before Nintendo 64.
34:01
Speaker 00: It looks
34:01
Teagan: like one of those mouse pads that he put on your
34:04
Speaker 00: head.
34:04
Speaker 00: Like an ergonomically correct mouse
34:07
Teagan: pad.
34:07
Teagan: That was filled with gel.
34:08
Teagan: How do you use it?
34:11
Teagan: You
34:12
Speaker 00: press the buttons.
34:13
Speaker 00: So you had the directions on the left.
34:17
Speaker 00: That was the D-pad.
34:18
Speaker 00: And then you had
34:20
Teagan: the
34:21
Speaker 00: buttons.
34:22
Speaker 00: This was so advanced because there's three buttons as opposed to two.
34:26
Speaker 00: Nintendo had two buttons.
34:28
Teagan: Yeah, I see them.
34:30
Teagan: One, two, three.
34:31
Teagan: Actually, it's A, B, C.
34:33
Teagan: Come on
34:34
Speaker 00: now.
34:35
Speaker 00: Get it together.
34:36
Teagan: Sorry.
34:36
Speaker 00: So, Goldeneye was a first-person shooter game.
34:44
Speaker 00: So you know what that means, right?
34:46
Speaker 00: You see the gun?
34:47
Speaker 00: Yeah.
34:47
Speaker 00: So it was...
34:49
Speaker 00: It was a, so you could play multiplayer up to four people.
34:54
Speaker 00: It was a split screen.
34:55
Speaker 00: Yeah.
34:56
Speaker 00: So, um, you know, we played on like a 13 inch screen four ways.
35:02
Speaker 00: Um, do you have your
35:05
Teagan: own part of the screen?
35:07
Speaker 00: Yeah.
35:07
Speaker 00: So each person has their little
35:09
Teagan: Brynn and I do it on Minecraft.
35:10
Teagan: Oh, how it's what we do it too.
35:13
Teagan: So it's top and bottom.
35:14
Teagan: So it's like that.
35:15
Speaker 00: And then you'd get mad at the other person for looking at your screen.
35:18
Speaker 00: Yeah.
35:18
Speaker 00: Yeah.
35:20
Speaker 00: They
35:20
Teagan: can't look at your screen?
35:21
Speaker 00: Well, not if you're playing fair.
35:24
Teagan: But it's the same TV.
35:26
Teagan: Yeah,
35:27
Speaker 00: but you're supposed to look at your designated screen.
35:29
Teagan: Because then you can't look.
35:30
Teagan: It'll cheat.
35:31
Speaker 00: It'll cheat.
35:31
Speaker 00: Yeah.
35:32
Speaker 00: Hours upon hours.
35:36
Teagan: Minecraft and...
35:37
Teagan: No, I played Q-Bert.
35:39
Speaker 00: Q-Bert was good.
35:40
Speaker 00: So anyway, best game ever.
35:42
Speaker 00: A lot of fistfights in my basement over that game.
35:44
Speaker 00: That's great.
35:45
Speaker 00: That was a 20-minute segment.
35:48
Unknown: Yeah.
35:48
Speaker 00: I do love this interview thing, though.
35:50
Speaker 00: I
35:51
Teagan: know.
35:51
Teagan: I know.
35:52
Teagan: You'll make something out of it.
35:55
Speaker 00: Yeah, we'll make it
35:56
Teagan: work.
35:56
Teagan: What about Entertainment Book?
36:00
Teagan: Right?
36:02
Teagan: Entertainment Book?
36:05
Speaker 00: Special K was big on the Entertainment Book.
36:07
Speaker 00: Was she?
36:07
Speaker 00: Is that not
36:07
Teagan: serial?
36:08
Teagan: Special K is serial.
36:11
Teagan: Yeah.
36:12
Teagan: And also his mother.
36:14
Speaker 00: And you better honor those.
36:16
Teagan: Yeah.
36:16
Teagan: Oh, okay.
36:18
Teagan: Well, when I worked at Baskin-Robbins,
36:20
Speaker 00: yeah.
36:20
Speaker 00: You probably caught the wrath.
36:23
Teagan: Yeah, I'm sure I did.
36:25
Teagan: That's probably why I like your mom.
36:27
Teagan: I probably met her a time or two with her entertainment
36:30
Speaker 00: book.
36:30
Speaker 00: I
36:32
Teagan: was like, here she comes again.

38:28
Teagan: there was like the random ones that you would never use, like car insurance.
38:36

43:47
Teagan: No, yeah, yeah.
43:50
Speaker 00: I also keep running out of the room.
43:52
Teagan: So...
43:53
Teagan: Let's say I was in the car with friends and we had to cross the bridge and I would be like, quick, check the floor, check under your seats.
44:05
Teagan: Why would I do that?
44:06
Teagan: I have no idea.
44:07
Teagan: It's usually hold your breath.
44:08
Teagan: Oh, for like good luck?

44:16
Teagan: Yes.
44:17
Teagan: Oh.
44:18
Teagan: No, just easy passes.
44:22
Speaker 00: Did you ever
44:23
Teagan: have a coupon book?
44:24
Teagan: Are you serious right now?
44:26
Teagan: Yeah, who bought a book?
44:27
Teagan: It was like tickets across the bridge.
44:30
Teagan: So when I went to New Paltz, you would buy a book of tickets.
44:37
Teagan: And so it was like, it would make it faster.
44:40
Teagan: They were like for commuters.
44:42
Teagan: And you weren't supposed to remove the ticket from the book.
44:45
Teagan: But if you were a pro like me, you would tear the ticket and stick it in the book and hand the book and they would just pull the ticket.
44:53
Teagan: Didn't have to take the time to tear it.
44:55
Teagan: It was a 90s thing.
44:57
Teagan: So did you prepay all of them, essentially?
45:00
Teagan: Yeah, so one day you'd go to the bridge and you would pay your toll and then...
45:06
Teagan: That face was so bad.
45:12
Teagan: Oh my God, I'm so sorry.
45:13
Teagan: And then you...
45:15
Teagan: You would be like, I'll buy a ticket book or a coupon book or whatever.
45:21
Teagan: Can I ask you guys questions?
45:24
Speaker 00: sure
45:24
Teagan: yeah do you know what a do you know what a fiend is a

45:49
Speaker 00: Yeah.
45:50
Speaker 00: I say a desire.
45:51
Speaker 00: Yeah.
45:52
Teagan: Yeah.
45:52
Teagan: Like you're a fiend for something.
45:54
Teagan: You just sounded like a romance novel.
45:59
Teagan: Like Jordan, for example, she's a fiend for Duncan.
46:01
Teagan: Oh, okay.
46:03
Teagan: Do people say that about all this kind of stuff?
46:04
Teagan: Yeah.
46:06
Speaker 00: Oh.
46:06
Speaker 00: So if you're fiending for something.
46:08
Speaker 00: Yeah.
46:09
Teagan: But you'd say like you are a fiend?
46:11
Speaker 00: We would say jonesing.
46:13
Teagan: Oh.
46:13
Teagan: Do you know what a...
46:16
Teagan: You know what a big back is?
46:17
Teagan: A big back?
46:18
Teagan: A
46:22
Speaker 00: big
46:22
Teagan: back.
46:22
Teagan: Yeah, you know what?
46:23
Teagan: Will probably hasn't heard any of these because he also doesn't do the TikTok.
46:27
Teagan: I'm so excited.
46:27
Speaker 00: I don't.
46:28
Speaker 00: A big
46:29
Teagan: back?
46:29
Teagan: A big back.
46:30
Teagan: I'm going to give you the specific origin of it.
46:35
Speaker 00: I would love a specific origin.
46:37
Teagan: It's someone so fat.
46:38
Teagan: She
46:42
Speaker 00: spits.
46:42
Speaker 00: Watch out.
46:46
Teagan: Oh my god.
46:47
Teagan: I'm dead.
46:48
Teagan: So when someone's so fat, they're hunched over a lot, so it creates a big back.
46:57
Teagan: So they're big backed.
46:59
Teagan: So you call them, you're a big back?
47:03
Teagan: Yeah, but if you just eat a lot, you're also called a big back.
47:08
Speaker 00: I saw that today in a post.
47:11
Teagan: Did you?
47:12
Speaker 00: Somebody said something about a big back.
47:14
Teagan: So it's essentially just calling someone fat in other terms.
47:17
Teagan: It's a big back.
47:20
Speaker 00: That's a good one.
47:20
Speaker 00: Okay.
47:21
Speaker 00: I want to find out
47:22
Teagan: more.
47:22
Teagan: Why didn't you guys tell me this?
47:23
Teagan: I would have been prepared.
47:24
Teagan: Do you know what
47:27
Speaker 00: Riz is?
47:28
Speaker 00: I've heard Riz.
47:33
Speaker 00: Isn't that like...
47:36
Speaker 00: Oh, my God, I have the best one ever.
47:39
Speaker 00: Next.
47:39
Speaker 00: Like one would have Riz.
47:41
Speaker 00: Yeah.
47:42
Speaker 00: So they'd have the juice.
47:44
Speaker 00: What?
47:45
Speaker 00: No, well, only you have juice.
47:50
Speaker 00: Like you got the Riz.
47:54
Speaker 00: You got the.
47:55
Teagan: So sophomore year, I finally learned that Riz is short for charisma.
48:00
Teagan: Oh, that makes sense.
48:04
Speaker 00: What's the next one?
48:05
Speaker 00: Because you were really excited about it.
48:06
Teagan: Do you know what a gyat is?

Speaker 00: I know where it came from.
48:44
Speaker 00: I
48:45
Teagan: don't.
48:45
Teagan: I just know it's the word.
48:47
Speaker 00: Yeah.
48:47
Speaker 00: Damn.
48:49
Teagan: That's exactly it.
48:50
Teagan: Yes.
48:50
Teagan: Yes.
48:51
Teagan: I love that.
48:54
Speaker 00: See?
48:54
Speaker 00: I'd be knowing things.
48:56
Speaker 00: Right?
48:58
Teagan: You're cool like that.
48:59
Speaker 00: I'm like the kids.
49:01
Teagan: Yeah.
49:03
Teagan: Do you know what Skibbity Ohio Riz is?
49:06
Teagan: He thinks you're, like, fucking with him right now.
49:14
Teagan: So this is specifically, this is more Gen Alpha, but...
49:18
Teagan: A lot of people say it to be idiots, but Skibbity Ohio Riz.
49:24
Speaker 00: Skibbity, it's like having a lot of charisma?
49:27
Teagan: It's just saying someone's weird.
49:29
Teagan: Oh.
49:29
Teagan: But say it like in a sentence.
49:32
Teagan: Like...
49:33
Teagan: Will just has that whole box of stuff.
49:36
Teagan: He's so skibbedy or however it is.
49:37
Teagan: Why are you picking up
49:38
Speaker 00: my
49:43
Teagan: stuff?
49:43
Teagan: She called you out.
49:45
Speaker 00: Next you'll call me a string
49:46
Teagan: bean.
49:51
Teagan: I want to go in depth of what you said.
49:58
Teagan: Do you know what a situationship is?
50:05
Speaker 00: Is it a...
50:08
Speaker 00: Don't get me.
50:11
Speaker 00: A situationship?
50:12
Teagan: Yes.
50:14
Speaker 00: Is it, I'm guessing, like a friends with benefits type of thing?
50:17
Speaker 00: Essentially,
50:18
Teagan: yeah.
50:18
Teagan: It kind of is.
50:19
Teagan: But you're not out in public with each other.
50:23
Teagan: Oh, there's
50:25
Speaker 00: rules.
50:25
Teagan: Yeah.
50:25
Teagan: Oh,
50:26
Speaker 00: there's got to be rules.
50:27
Teagan: Like, you're not dating,
50:28
Speaker 00: but you're not
50:29
Teagan: just talking.
50:30
Teagan: So you're essentially dating without the label.
50:33
Teagan: But you don't post stuff together.
50:35
Teagan: Oh.
50:35
Teagan: So like it's just between the two of you.
50:38
Teagan: So that's like the guy and the ugly girl.
50:41
Teagan: Yes.
50:42
Teagan: Yes.
50:43
Teagan: Really?
50:43
Teagan: I know what you're talking about.
50:44
Teagan: Yes.
50:44
Teagan: Okay.
50:45
Teagan: Kind of, but like between like anyone.
50:47
Teagan: Monica Lewinsky was in a situation.
50:51
Teagan: A little bit.
50:51
Teagan: A
50:52
Speaker 00: little
50:52
Teagan: bit.
50:52
Teagan: Yeah.
50:53
Teagan: Monica was in a situation with Chandler before they went out with everyone.
50:57
Teagan: Oh, okay.
50:58
Teagan: Oh, okay.
50:59
Teagan: So it's kind of like they were in a situation ship because it was secret.
51:02
Teagan: They didn't tell anyone.
51:03
Teagan: And then once they came out, it was a relationship.
51:06
Teagan: Okay.
51:07
Teagan: Yeah.
51:08
Unknown: Yeah.
51:13
Speaker 00: On this week's 90s News Flash.
51:16
Speaker 00: This was something that I just looked up while we were starting the show.
51:25
Teagan: What'd you find?
51:26
Teagan: I
51:27
Speaker 00: found that there is a 90s-inspired margarita coming to Chili's.
51:33
Speaker 00: Like I said, I'm either throwing out advertisements or deaths.
51:37
Speaker 00: That's all my news flashes
51:39
Teagan: are.
51:39
Teagan: Bring it.
51:40
Speaker 00: Let's
51:40
Teagan: advertise the death.
51:41
Speaker 00: Yeah, a 90s-inspired margarita.
51:43
Speaker 00: It is going to be...
51:46
Speaker 00: The face of the margarita is going to be...
51:48
Speaker 00: Tiffany Amber Thiessen.
51:50
Speaker 00: No.
51:51
Speaker 00: You may know her from Saved by the Bell.
51:54
Teagan: Uh-huh.
51:55
Speaker 00: You may know her from Beverly Hills 90210.
51:56
Speaker 00: That's
51:57
Teagan: where I know her from.
51:59
Speaker 00: So she is, yeah, she's promoting these 90s margaritas.
52:05
Speaker 00: Ironically, there's a Chili's right down the street.
52:08
Speaker 00: So
52:09
Teagan: we'll meet there.
52:10
Speaker 00: I think we should plan to.
52:11
Speaker 00: I love
52:12
Teagan: Chili's.
52:12
Teagan: They're triple dipper.
52:13
Speaker 00: We have a driver.
52:14
Speaker 00: Yes,
52:15
Teagan: they do.
52:17
Unknown: Yes.
52:17
Unknown: Yes.
52:17
Speaker 00: Air high five.
52:18
Speaker 00: Perfect.
52:19
Teagan: Like the Dundies.
52:21
Speaker 00: Exactly.
52:22
Speaker 00: Yes.
52:22
Speaker 00: Oh, that's right.
52:24
Speaker 00: They had it in
52:24
Teagan: Chili's and then they got kicked out because Pam stole people's drinks.
52:28
Speaker 00: Oh, yeah.
52:28
Speaker 00: We can get kicked out of this
52:29
Teagan: Chili's.
52:30
Speaker 00: $6.
52:31
Speaker 00: $6 margarita.
52:33
Teagan: What?
52:34
Speaker 00: Color changing.
52:35
Speaker 00: That's
52:35
Teagan: so expensive.
52:35
Teagan: That's actually not.
52:38
Teagan: Six dollars.
52:40
Teagan: Oh, well, alcohol, right?
52:41
Teagan: Yeah, alcohol.
52:44
Teagan: Alcohol.
52:44
Teagan: What makes it 90s?
52:45
Teagan: Just because Tiffany's face is on it?
52:47
Speaker 00: I'm guessing.
52:48
Speaker 00: It says, Margarita is a color-changing portal back to the 90s.
52:52
Speaker 00: I guess if you drink enough tequila, you can just be in
52:55
Teagan: the 90s again.
52:56
Speaker 00: You see lots of colors.
52:59
Teagan: There's Will and me drinking, crying.
53:02
Teagan: I
53:04
Speaker 00: just want to say by the bell back.
53:06
Speaker 00: I
53:07
Teagan: miss Nirvana.
53:09
Speaker 00: Screech.
53:10
Speaker 00: So yeah, that's our 90s news for today.
53:17
Teagan: I like that one.
53:18
Teagan: That's
53:19
Speaker 00: a good one.
53:19
Speaker 00: I think we should
53:20
Teagan: go get
53:20
Speaker 00: it.
53:22
Teagan: Get it.
53:23
Teagan: Get it.
53:24
Speaker 00: I think that if we kind of plug enough
53:29
Teagan: Yeah.
53:30
Speaker 00: Things.
53:30
Speaker 00: Hashtag Chili's.
53:31
Speaker 00: Chili's.
53:32
Speaker 00: All right.
53:34
Speaker 00: So I think we all learned tonight that we can learn from each other.
53:37
Speaker 00: We
53:37
Teagan: can learn from each other.
53:38
Teagan: I
53:38
Speaker 00: learned about the Riz.
53:39
Speaker 00: Yeah.
53:42
Speaker 00: Our new friend Teagan.
53:44
Speaker 00: Well, you've known her for a while.
53:45
Speaker 00: Yeah, I've known her all my life.
53:46
Speaker 00: I learned about Pogs.
53:48
Speaker 00: Teagan learned about Pogs.
53:50
Speaker 00: And the intricacies to them.
53:52
Teagan: Yep.
53:54
Speaker 00: Lesli, you learned about...
53:55
Speaker 00: What did I learn
53:57
Teagan: about?
53:57
Speaker 00: You were here.
53:57
Speaker 00: You were doing it.
53:58
Speaker 00: Yeah, I was part of this.
54:01
Speaker 00: You were there.
54:02
Speaker 00: You were there for
54:03
Teagan: all of this?
54:04
Speaker 00: Yeah.
54:05
Speaker 00: Teagan, come back anytime.
54:08
Teagan: Thanks.
54:09
Speaker 00: This was a lot of fun.
54:10
Speaker 00: This was like our first kind of interview thing.
54:12
Speaker 00: And I liked...
54:13
Teagan: Well, and now that we've done it, I have like ideas of like...
54:18
Speaker 00: Yeah.
54:18
Speaker 00: Yeah.
54:18
Speaker 00: No, that was a lot of fun.
54:21
Teagan: I
54:21
Speaker 00: think we need to stop putting pressure on it.
54:23
Speaker 00: I agree.
54:23
Speaker 00: We're doing an ending and just talk because that seems to be...
54:29
Teagan: Maybe next time we can have an encyclopedia to show Teagan.
54:33
Speaker 00: That's true.
54:35
Teagan: An English one, Teagan.
54:36
Speaker 00: An English encyclopedia.
54:38
Speaker 00: Sounds good.
54:38
Speaker 00: Not the Spanish encyclopedia.
54:42
Speaker 00: No, this is really cool.
54:43
Speaker 00: So come back anytime.
54:45
Speaker 00: Thanks.
54:47
Speaker 00: I don't know what else we would have.
54:48
Speaker 00: Yeah, I mean...
54:50
Speaker 00: I mean, you're going to teach me more slang, I hope.
54:52
Teagan: Oh, I'll teach you more slang.
54:53
Teagan: I'll find some stuff.
54:54
Teagan: Okay.
54:54
Teagan: Tell me more.
54:55
Speaker 00: That I will never use in my life.
54:56
Speaker 00: Yeah.
54:58
Teagan: Sometimes when they say it, I'm like, that's not real.
55:01
Speaker 00: Yeah.
55:01
Speaker 00: I remember like a year ago, your mom texted me something about something being mid.
55:07
Speaker 00: Oh, yeah.
55:09
Speaker 00: And I was like, oh, she got that from her daughters, definitely.
55:11
Speaker 00: Because that sounds like a young folk thing.
55:16
Teagan: Yeah.
55:18
Speaker 00: Yeah.
55:18
Speaker 00: Like, this ending is mid.
55:20
Speaker 00: This ending is mid.
55:22
Speaker 00: All of our endings are mid.
55:23
Teagan: Yeah.
55:23
Teagan: We'll fix
55:24
Speaker 00: it.
55:24
Speaker 00: We'll figure it out.
55:25
Speaker 00: We'll make it work.
55:26
Teagan: We're learning.
55:28
Speaker 00: So, again, thank you, Teagan.

56:14
Speaker 00: Yeah, I'm not doing this anymore.

56:21
Speaker 00: Eric.
56:22

Speaker 00: He did.
56:54
Speaker 00: He said our podcast is pretty great.
56:56
Speaker 00: Yeah?
56:57
Speaker 00: He said it sounded very professional,
57:00
Teagan: which
57:00
Speaker 00: is great because we're kind of dumb.
57:02
Speaker 00: Yeah.
57:04
Teagan: So Rurik, we pulled it off.
57:06
Speaker 00: We pulled it off.

58:28
Speaker 00: And I'm not going to say it this week.
58:32
Teagan: Okay.
58:33
Speaker 00: People know I want them to donate blood.
58:34
Speaker 00: Teagan doesn't know because she never makes it to the end of the episode.
58:37
Speaker 00: I actually
58:37
Teagan: have.
58:37
Teagan: I've heard all about your blood donations.
58:39
Teagan: Okay.
58:39
Teagan: Yeah.
58:40
Teagan: Did you hear about plasma donation?
58:43
Teagan: I have heard about that, too.
58:44
Teagan: I heard about it the entire episode.
58:46
Teagan: Uncut version.
58:48
Teagan: Oh,
58:50
Speaker 00: she did hear the uncut version.
58:52
Speaker 00: So I guess this week's words of wisdom will be just don't be a dick.
58:58
Teagan: Yeah, don't be a dick.
58:59
Speaker 00: You know, it's pretty simple.
59:01
Teagan: That's your riz.
59:02
Speaker 00: Yeah.
59:03
Speaker 00: Something about Riz.
59:04
Speaker 00: What?
59:06
Teagan: W Riz.
59:07
Speaker 00: W Riz.
59:07
Speaker 00: What's that?
59:08
Teagan: W Charisma.
59:09
Teagan: You have good Riz.
59:10
Speaker 00: What's the W?
59:11
Teagan: What's W?
59:12
Teagan: Win.
59:12
Teagan: Like W short for win, but like if you say W Riz, like you have good Riz.
59:16
Speaker 00: I'm buying you encyclopedias.
59:18
Speaker 00: Yeah.
59:20
Speaker 00: Or at least a Spanish dictionary.
59:22
Teagan: Something.
59:23
Speaker 00: Something.
59:23
Speaker 00: It's out of control.
59:26
Speaker 00: I'm not W Rizin' on anything.
59:30
Speaker 00: Rizin' on anything.
59:32
Speaker 00: But yeah, don't be a dick.
59:34
Speaker 00: All right, don't be a dick.
59:35
Speaker 00: Be cool.
59:36
Speaker 00: I
59:38
Teagan: think that's why we're friends, because we're not dicks.
59:40
Speaker 00: Yeah.
59:41
Speaker 00: We pretend to be.
59:42
Teagan: Yeah.
