    Perfect Strangers

    Grab your Aqua Net and your awkward school smile — this week on Nostalgia Nerds, we’re counting down our Top 5 favorite 80s sitcom theme songs that still get stuck in our heads decades later. We also take a hilarious trip back to Lifetouch school picture day, complete with those blue laser backgrounds. And because middle school trauma builds character, we’re reading from our old journals where we desperately tried to convince ourselves we were totally fine after our crushes wanted absolutely nothing to do with us. It’s equal parts cringe, comedy, and classic nostalgia!

    This week on Nostalgia Nerds, we’re taking it back to the 90's with a countdown of the greatest one-hit wonders of the decade. We also talk about the moment Magic Johnson shocked the world with his HIV announcement and because no episode is complete without a little middle school embarrassment, we’re opening up our journals to relive the dramatic love triangles, heartbreak, and friendship chaos that felt like the end of the world at 13. Nostalgic, messy, and hilarious — just the way we like it.
