Welcome to our cold-open where we wonder about time zones, unrealistically matching up our layovers for way too long, and also is Chicago the middle of the country? Steph is drinking a DIY black-coffee frappe which sends Danielle into a tailspin about the Dunkin Donuts Coffee Coolatta, the OG frozen coffee bev. Inspired by our recent RL Stine Time Capsule ep, we watched the Netflix Fear Street Trilogy and finally share our surprising reactions (no spoilers!). We also touch upon the (apparently controversial) new FOB cover of “We Didn’t Start the Fire” and some of our select fave insults we endured in high school.
For our entries, Danielle shares about her 20th birthday and a weird, long-forgotten work-around for keeping your MySpace private in the early 00s. Steph shares about choking down hand-rolled cigarettes in an apartment over a motorcycle shop.
