My Buddy And His Cousin Chucky
The My Buddy doll burst onto the scene in 1985 with overalls, a bowl cut and a banging jingle. But by the mid 1990's My Buddy was a distant memory. So what happened? And how did My Buddy become synonymous with the murderous Chucky doll from Child's Play? This week we dig into the history of the first "doll for boys" and then as usual pitch how we'd fix My Buddy for today.

JNCOs: Size Matters
This week we're reviewing ultra wide legs jeans that were all the rage in the 90's: JNCOs. Beloved by skaters, surfers and ravers, JNCOs were very wide, very cool and very much counter culture. And at the company's peak in 1998, they boasted a whopping $186.9 million in sales! But by 2001 their parent company was forced to close their massive LA factory due to declining sales. So we're diving into JNCO's history and then as usual we each pitch how we'd fix the brand for today.

Lauryn Hill: Too Much, Too Late
Lauryn Hill burst onto the music scene in 1996 as a member of the Fugees. But it was Lauryn's 1998 solo debut The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill that put her on the map. With over 12 million albums sold worldwide it went on to sweep the 1998 Grammys as Lauryn became the first woman to win 5 or more awards in one night including Grammys for best new artist, best r&b album and album of the year. But after her follow up unplugged album failed to make a splash she all but disappeared. This week we dive into her fascinating story and then pitch how we'd fix her career for today.

Customer Reviews
Feels like I’m listening to my friends
This podcast is refreshing and fun. It feels like I’m listening to my friends! The hosts are knowledgeable, funny, and relatable. You can tell that they’re actually friends and enjoy working together. I find myself yelling “yes I remember that!!” a lot. Lol
Always laughing!
The topic doesn’t even matter to me anymore because I know we’re gonna laugh. I love hearing these two talk about anything and laughing together.
Apparently I’m in class and I’m always present
I so enjoy this podcast! Franchesca and Delon have such natural chemistry, the topics are always on point and I usually bust out laughing at least once per episode. Please keep fixing it yall!!
