It's the 90s. You just purchased a brand-new Lisa Frank notebook and pen set at your elementary school book fair. Outfitted with the coolest stationary, you're set to be the most popular kid in class. But little do you know, Lisa Frank's backstory isn't quite the neon dreamland it seems to be.

This week, Sierra tells a terrifying tale of cocaine and neon baby animals, while Colin tries to remember Lisa Frank's technicolor dreamland. Join us as we talk about bad names for babies, the nostalgia surrounding the Trapper Keeper, and the exact reason why the United States court system is so damn slow. It's bright, it's textured, and it could be Communism. It's Lisa Frank!
