In the words of Steph after editing this is episode: “it’s a longy!” We start off strong by setting limits around Danielle’s on-air gas passing. We share our co-review of Scamanda and Danielle fills us in on the latest Last Podcast on the Left tea. We naturally segue into the never-ending millennial burden of TOO MANY DAMN OPTIONS/FOMO especially when it comes to parenting styles.

For our entries, Danielle’s entry covers the idealism of young love (AKA setting the absolute lowest bars ever) and dating local rock stars. She also shares about a day in her life without her cellphone in 2005. Steph’s 2003 entry takes us down a 12-browser-tab mini Time Capsule/deep-dive into Livejournal: the days when you needed an invite code to join, the LJ commercial, and LJ’s evil twin, deadjournal.
