    Pencil Cases, Playgrounds & Passing Notes

    Math is red, English is blue, science is green and somehow social studies is always whatever color is left.

Plus, we’re sharing hilarious, embarrassing and unforgettable listener stories about crushes, first days and awkward moments. Whether you loved school or counted down the days until summer, this episode is a trip back to the era when going back to school meant a brand-new notebook, a fresh pair of shoes and a whole lot of nerves.

    Pads, Periods & Puberty

    Getting your first period was a rite of passage… but for a lot of us, it came with more confusion, embarrassment and questions than answers. In this episode, we’re talking all things periods — from getting our first period alone, figuring out pads and tampons with no instructions, keeping secrets from our parents and learning things way later than we should have. We share hilarious, shocking and heartfelt listener stories about first periods, puberty, the things nobody taught us and the awkward moments that came with growing up. Whether you got a full puberty talk or were handed a pad and sent on your way, this episode is a trip back to one of the most universal (and least talked about) experiences of growing up.

    MASH, Mountain Dew & Mayhem

    On the premiere of You Had 2 Be There, we’re diving headfirst into SLEEPOVERS… where nights meant staying up way too late, oversharing everything and making memories that still feel slightly unhinged in hindsight. The Chat Room moves through childhood birthday sleepovers, prank calls, early crushes, questionable dares and those core Y2K moments like Blockbuster runs, burned CDs, and learning too much about friendship dynamics way too young. From chaotic pet-filled houses and neighborhood adventures to the awkward rituals of trying not to be the first one to fall asleep, we really all went through all the motions. It’s nostalgic and a reminder that every “you had to be there” moment somehow lives in all of us. Feel like you WERE there?
