90s Nostalgia, Y2K, & Low Fat Diets Things We Got Wrong

We're getting nostalgic for the 80s and 90s today! We're looking back and seeing what we got wrong about the final decades of the millennium. Were parachute pants horrible or awesome? The Rachel haircut--is it timeless or was it a fashion no? We discuss the early days of reality tv that Susie misses. We hear why Kato Kaelin still has habits he created to copy with his role in the "trial of the century." We talk about a failed world record attempt involving balloons and Susie explains why Y2K's computer scare was probably not an overreaction despite the lack of world-ending events that happened on that fateful New Year's Eve. We debate whether Pee Wee Herman got a bad deal, why Oprah may have outstayed her welcome in the cultural milieu, and we do not miss the 90s waif-ish model craze. And even thought we think the low fat diet trend was ridiculous, those Snackwell's cookies were delish.
