36 - Doin' It for the Dads

We recorded this on Father’s Day, but we love dads everyday! We open by adoring our own theme song, naturally. This week is full of nostalgia as we talk about TWO-hit wonder band Fastball, R.L. Stein (AKA the Stephen King of middle schoolers), and fast food commemorative character cups. We also throw in a Radio Rental spoiler and talk about the Black Mirror revival (no spoilers!). Steph’s entry covers her entire weekend in June of 2004, complete with trips to The Space, a parking lot carnival, the “new” Waterbury Wal-Mart, and the Athenian Diner. Danielle talks about Father’s Day ‘06, where she got her dad a very random, very ‘00s beverage. So listen in - and do it for the dads!
