Nostalgia Podcast Season 2 Episode 1

Send us a text

Break out the freeze pops and crank up the old boombox—it’s time for a summer throwback! On this episode of The Nostalgia Podcast, Jon is joined by Becky and PJ to dive headfirst into the sun-soaked memories of summertime toys and games from the 90s and early 2000s.

From Super Soakers and Slip 'n Slides to water balloon fights and exploring, we’re reliving the golden days when fun came in plastic packaging and was powered by pure imagination (and maybe a few AA batteries). Whether you were king of the kickball field or ruled the driveway with your Razor scooter, this episode will transport you right back to those endless summer afternoons.

So grab your shades, hit play, and let's rewind to a time when the biggest worry was running out of Kool-Aid.

Jon (00:00)
What is going on guys? Welcome, I guess, back to the Nostalgia Podcast. It has officially, when we're recording this at least, it has been 406 days since our last episode. I'd like to say we took a quick hiatus, but that seems to not be the issue.

Becky (00:17)
That's kind of what it was supposed to be. That welcome back, I feel like, was directed at us instead of the viewers. ⁓

Jon (00:23)
Yeah, 100%.

Yeah, we were like, you know what, we're gonna take like two months off. Had like other obligations going on and then that one, two month turned into three and then four and then, well, a year later, we started talking about it again and we were like, you know what, season two, we're gonna start season two. So today marks the number one, the first episode of season two of installed your podcast.

Becky (00:48)
⁓ shit,

this is the season opener?

Jon (00:51)
Season opener man, it's gotta be we've gone 406 days without an episode. ⁓ Yeah, that third voice well actually, know what we're gonna introduce ourselves because it's been so long I'm the host John I've been here for you know, pretty pretty long while now I'm joined by the one and only Becky has gone back

PJ (00:54)
I'm gonna break you wide open, boys.

Becky (00:57)


I'm

Indeed,

it's going pretty good. know, had popped out another kid, not my wife, me, I popped it out. ⁓ Yeah. And so now we seem to have a little bit more time to put into some other things that we're doing. So here we are. Yeah.

Jon (01:14)
Yeah?

I figured, yeah, they explained, I understood.

Heck yeah, like a podcast that we've slightly

neglected over the last year of our lives. Slightly, yeah. Yeah, but we're also joined, I don't know if you heard it, there was a third voice there for just a smidge. That would be the returning PJ. PJ, how's it going, man?

Becky (01:36)
Slightly, yes.

PJ (01:49)
I'm doing well, I'm actually just an NPC. was AI purchased by John to sound like PJ for this episode. John's paying the real PJ $100 an hour to be here. But no, I've been great, anxiously waiting to get back in the pod with y'all and talk about some nostalgia, because my life is meaningless, but let's move on.

Jon (01:59)
This is freaking ripoff!

That's

the spirit.

Becky (02:14)
Yes.

Jon (02:15)
Welcome to what I call After 30.

PJ (02:17)
Yeah

Becky (02:18)
We have nothing to look forward to, so we look back.

Jon (02:22)
Can you

you know, I like the idea of bringing AI on for one of these We'll actually set up an AI that thinks it's a 90s kid and we'll bring it on and see what it says I'll see we'll talk about it and see if it's worth it

Becky (02:31)
wow. I know how we can open,

we can open that episode by saying, and we're joined by an AI because we don't have any other friends. That's.

Jon (02:42)
I mean, that's gold. That's gold.

make sure, make sure you come, you know what? This is going to be interesting because ⁓ as whoever is listening here, hi, can tell it's an audio only now. We actually ditched the, we ditched the video. ⁓ It wasn't, it wasn't doing a lot for us. And the drive became a little bit more than I wanted to deal with. I ended up moving states. So I'm, I'm a long way away from these two.

But you know, that's, you know, I just said it in more words, you I think that really hits me deep, Hits me deep, Shrek.

Becky (03:12)
Basically, John's a piece of shit. And I'll never forgive him.

PJ (03:14)
Yep. That tracks out.

Becky (03:20)
Yep.

Yep.

Jon (03:26)
So I didn't even say the tagline man, that's how rusty I am normally I get it dead on every time right Season two welcome to the stulture podcast where you can relive your fondest memories Not bad. I didn't mess it up. ⁓

Becky (03:32)
⁓ yeah.

PJ (03:34)
Season two, start not strong.

Becky (03:40)
you didn't mess it up. I really, really thought you were going to mess it up.

PJ (03:42)
Wow. Yeah, after tattooing

that on your bottom lip, you got it.

Jon (03:47)
No,

I wrote it down next to me. I'm gonna be honest.

Becky (03:48)
Yeah. It's a...

man, I was gonna say it's like riding a bike. Which brings us to... ⁓

Jon (03:56)
⁓ The segways!

PJ (03:57)
My God, the transition

just blew my mind. We're gonna talk about summertime. It's summertime.

Jon (04:03)
Summertime?

Yeah, you know what?

Becky (04:04)
And you know what that

means. Gonna head down to the beach, gonna do some beachy things. You guys watch regular show?

PJ (04:08)
Yes, I'm in my speedo now

actually from the waist down you can't tell cuz you're just listening

Jon (04:10)
No.

Becky (04:14)
Yep.

It's hot.

Jon (04:17)
You know what it is like 80 degrees in this room right now, so yes, yes, it's hot I had the windows open though, so

PJ (04:23)
Now, John, what is that

in Celsius for our European listeners?

Jon (04:26)
80 degrees Fahrenheit because it's the proper way of telling temperature. Not really, but hey, you know, okay. But yes, we are going to be talking all about summer things like the different toys you used to play with as a kid. Toys, what do you vehicles? That doesn't seem like the right word.

PJ (04:39)
Mm. Right.

90s summer just

let's just go vague here 90s summer because I'm ready for an icy pop and and a chug jug if you will

Becky (04:46)
Yeah.

Jon (04:50)
⁓ okay.

Becky (04:50)
Mmm.

Jon (04:54)
Dude,

so, okay, we'll start with the icy, all right? We'll talk icy quick. You're talking about one of those little things you threw in the freezer. Oh, screw hugs, man. No, the icy pops are the ones that go on the-

PJ (04:58)
Yeah.

A hugs, the hugs also. No, no, no, no. The icy pops

Becky (05:05)
Well no, that's not an icy- that's not an icy-

PJ (05:09)
are the long popsicles that you got in a Gatling gun style ammo. Yeah.

Becky (05:11)
Yeah.

Yes, you

Jon (05:15)
Yeah!

Becky (05:16)
cut your

mouth on them, because you just kind of cut them all crooked, or bite them open.

PJ (05:18)
Yes. Yeah.

Jon (05:20)
Has it either

either you've seen the video of the person who's just like, yeah, all you need to do is and it breaks them in half and you have to.

PJ (05:28)
I never could do that.

Jon (05:30)
It's because it's not possible.

PJ (05:32)
Yeah.

Jon (05:34)
It was a stupid trend online that people were doing when they were cutting it. I want everyone on this podcast, our loyal listeners, to know that that is all fabricated and I'm sick of the misinformation. Fake news, bad.

Becky (05:37)
They perf-

Huh. Wow. Fake news. They

PJ (05:47)
sigma

Becky (05:47)
pre-perforated it.

PJ (05:47)
mentality for those younger than the 90s

Jon (05:50)
Exactly. Like, yeah, no. dude, I

remember those things. Well, hold on, let's, the real question here, number one question on everyone's mind. Everyone's asking me along the side in our audience right now, what color did you like the best? I'd say flavor, but I don't know the different flavors. Yeah. All right, Becky, me your favorite color.

Becky (06:05)
Nobody knows what the flavors were. It was just the colors, yeah.

man, okay, so I actually like, I went back and forth between ⁓ pink and yellow.

Jon (06:18)
⁓ pink and yellow. feel like...

Becky (06:20)
Yeah, well, I

really like lemon flavored things. I'm actually the same way with Starburst, like pink and yellow are my two favorites for Starburst too. I don't even know what flavor pink is supposed to be. It could be like fucking rose or something. I don't know. But ⁓ no, it's not. Yeah. But yeah, one of those two.

Jon (06:24)
Okay.

God, it's thorns. All

PJ (06:34)
Ugh.

Jon (06:39)
right, all right, I get behind that. What about you, PJ?

PJ (06:42)
Well,

I always liked blue because blue raspberry, you had the icies out at the same time. You know, I was into that. I enjoyed that flavor. I was a Ghostbuster stan back in the day. So I loved green. Green was my favorite color. Still is my favorite color. But I loved having the green because I'm like, it's like Slimer from the Ghostbusters, right? That's how my brain made the connection. My all time favorite flavor, though, and you could only get it

Jon (07:04)
Okay, I forget you're old. Older. Older.

PJ (07:11)
in the tropical packs was the light yellow white flavor which was pineapple.

Becky (07:17)
⁓ yeah. Dude, hell yeah. Pineapple's so good.

Jon (07:17)
Uh-huh, what?

PJ (07:18)
Mm-hmm. Yeah,

that's so good. It was like a real faint yellow, mostly white.

Jon (07:21)
It was like light yellow?

Becky (07:26)
Yeah, it was

like a like a super pale off white, right? Like weird. Yeah.

PJ (07:30)
Yes, yeah.

Looks like somebody's been drinking water for a while and they want to make a nice icy pop.

Jon (07:32)
Eugh.

And if they haven't been drinking water for a while you get Becky's easy enough No, my mine mine was always great always great every time I Feel like grape wasn't around as much as the other colors

PJ (07:40)
Yeah. That's right. There you go. Brown. ⁓

Yeah, grape is also a valid color. I can validate that. ⁓

Becky (07:49)
Okay.

PJ (07:57)
You know what? Let's switch it up just a little bit. Who remembers the Flintstones push pops? Right?

Becky (08:04)
⁓ fuck yeah.

Yeah, like the rainbow sorbet flavor. Sorbet.

Jon (08:07)
Hold on.

PJ (08:09)
Yeah. It's the Sabé.

Jon (08:13)
Am I am I just on drugs here?

PJ (08:17)
Yeah,

Jon (08:17)
⁓ dude

PJ (08:19)
now you know what they are, John, after you look them up.

Jon (08:22)
I did have to look them up because I'm like, I remember push pops, but I didn't think they had a theme.

PJ (08:25)
Yeah.

Yeah, it's the thing that your dad pushed you in the closet and said, shimmy him down, buddy. ⁓

Jon (08:32)
Listen man, I honestly probably deserved it. I

Becky (08:36)
Ha

Jon (08:37)
was an absolute reckless human being as a child. And the fact that I've made it past 30 is a testament to my parents because holy cow was I just like, yeah, no, it's, pushups are pretty sick. I remember the multicolored one.

PJ (08:40)
lol

ultra fair. There you go. But Push Pop made it better though. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm getting to.

Yes, the multicolor one, there was like a wild berry looking one. ⁓ It made the summer great because you can also get these things off the ice cream truck that came around. And the Schwann truck, for those of you that had the Schwann

Jon (08:59)
Yeah, dude, the multicolor results out.

Becky (09:04)
Mm-hmm.

Jon (09:04)
Yeah!

Becky (09:07)


swans.

Jon (09:08)
I gonna say

that that's a little too fancy for us. lived in the middle of freaking nowhere, Yeah, that's how you know you're in the good neighborhood. You see this swan truck pulling up.

PJ (09:10)
I know, I know. was only certain neighborhoods that got the Schwann truck. ⁓

Becky (09:15)
Yeah.

That's...

that's debatable. We got it. And we were not... yeah. Yeah.

PJ (09:21)
as well as the debate.

Jon (09:22)
I guess not. Maybe it was just a

mean thing. But I always thought it was like the city folk that got the swan trucks.

PJ (09:28)
⁓ yes.

Becky (09:29)
It is

the city folk, yeah, but I'll tell you what, there's some ghettos in the city.

PJ (09:34)
Yeah

Jon (09:34)
As

PJ (09:35)


Jon (09:35)
a country kid, ⁓ anyone who lived in the city was considered like high class rich people. I don't know why I thought that way, because then I moved into the city and understood. Or I guess, yeah, I moved into the city and then I got to pick you up in a different city and realize where you lived back then. ⁓ I just, yeah. yeah. Years, years ago, man. Yeah.

Becky (09:37)
Yeah.

PJ (09:42)
Yeah.

Becky (09:43)
okay.

yeah. Yeah. And you're like, ⁓ shit. ⁓

PJ (10:00)
There's a whole

other world.

Jon (10:01)
But so, let's see, what else do I remember from back then from like things we would eat? How about going to the beach and having a slightly crushed up PB &J with a little bit of sand in it?

PJ (10:10)
Yep.

okay. mean, I feel like that's just a normal kid thing. But what I will throw at you is this wrench. What about going to the beach and then having a Choco Taco? Remember what these are? Chocolate? Yeah, it was a waffle cone taco, right, with vanilla ice cream in it, and it was covered in hard chocolate. And you put them in the freezer.

Becky (10:15)
⁓ yeah.

Jon (10:20)
Shit, during the summer,

no idea what that is.

Becky (10:27)
I know, Yeah.

Jon (10:40)
I'm looking at it and I don't think

I've ever seen this in my life.

PJ (10:42)
⁓ my god, I would eat

those things all the time as a kid.

Jon (10:47)
They're made by Klondike?

Becky (10:47)
I actually never,

I never had them. Klondike. Yeah. I've got a, got a funny story about Klondike. ⁓ so, okay. This, I don't know if this may have happened in the summer. I was indoors though. So I don't know. But, ⁓ so I was jumping from, I was basically doing living room parkour, jumping from furniture piece to furniture piece, you know, of course. ⁓ yeah, I mean, I'm pretty young, like maybe eight.

PJ (10:50)
Conducts

Sure.

Jon (10:55)
I'd love to hear it.

PJ (11:00)
Mm-hmm.

Sure.

Jon (11:10)
as

one does. Yeah, well, floor is lava, man. Come on.

Becky (11:17)
10 closer to eight for sure. ⁓ And so, you know, I mistimed my jump or my foot slips on the couch or something, and I like bashed my eye on a windowsill because there was a window between two of the pieces. Right. And so instead of the like an ice pack or a bag of peas, ⁓ my mom was like this was probably to get me to stop crying, I guess. But she was like, take this Klondike bar, put it on your eye and.

PJ (11:19)
Mm-hmm.

Mm. Right.

Becky (11:46)
After like, you know, 15 minutes when the swelling goes down, then you can eat it. I was like, ⁓ sweet. I was like, hell yeah. Yeah.

PJ (11:51)
Nice. Yes, Clondike

Jon (11:53)
Dual purpose.

PJ (11:55)
virus heal all now. That's your inner psyche is saying that.

Becky (11:57)
Yeah.

Jon (11:57)
Looks like we found out.

We found out what Becky would do for Klondike bar. ⁓ man, I felt bad saying that. Just just data. Remember playing in the background? When you were eight, yeah. ⁓ Now, dude, that would have been.

PJ (12:03)
Smash your face. Mosh pit the living room.

Becky (12:04)
Here we did it, I would bash my face. ⁓

PJ (12:11)
Yeah. ⁓ these just get sweaty thinking about it. Speaking of getting sweaty,

Becky (12:14)
Day to remember. Yeah, no, no, sir.

PJ (12:20)
let's talk about some summer toys that kept us cool here. Did you know that a big 90s toy was actually the slip and slide? a, yeah. The slip and slide was mass produced because people had slip and slides obviously before the 90s, but slip and slide.

Becky (12:22)
Yeah.

OI

Jon (12:32)
Yeah

PJ (12:41)
was produced as a children's toy in the 90s in its own box and you had the inflatable end and whatnot. That was a...

Jon (12:48)
Heck yeah, dude.

I had a cousin who actually had one. And they lived on a hill. And as probably not in our brightest ⁓ day, but we got water, you you put down as you do. And he went and ran and slid. And then the thing is you would continue to slide after the slip and slide down the hill. And yeah, like I said.

PJ (12:52)
Yeah.

Mm.

Yeah.

Yes. You know, surprise.

Becky (13:11)
On the hill, yes.

Jon (13:16)
30 years old surprises me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

PJ (13:18)
Yep, yep. Or as the

Becky (13:20)
Yeah

PJ (13:21)
late Great Dane Cook would say, slip and bleed from the anus. ⁓

Jon (13:25)
⁓ God.

My anus is bleeding! I don't- The late Dame Cook!

Becky (13:27)
Wait, did Dane Cook die? Or do you just mean, okay,

PJ (13:28)
No, he didn't die. He just died.

Becky (13:33)
the late great Dane Cook, was like, are you talking about his career or his himself? Okay, all right, good, good.

PJ (13:35)
Yeah, his career. Yeah, not him. He's fine. ⁓

Jon (13:35)
I mean...

PJ (13:41)
But no, mean, so slip and slides were huge. You guys remember the little squishy sponge balls that were like, you soak them in water and threw them at each other?

Jon (13:41)
Yeah, I mean...

Becky (13:45)
hell yeah.

⁓ Yes,

yeah, yeah, yeah, so they they came with ⁓ If you got them in like the pack you get the little balls and then you also got the disc like the frisbee and and We I don't know if my Italians about to show or not, but we called them Meat a ball and pizza pie

PJ (13:58)
Yeah. Yep.

Yes, the frizz-

You

Jon (14:14)
Jesus!

Becky (14:15)
I'm not even kidding, that's what they were in

my family. Not even joking.

PJ (14:20)
were like this family name because they're supposed to be like in

Jon (14:20)
Mama, grab the meatball and the pizza pie!

PJ (14:27)
war zone. They're like war balls or something like that. Get the meatball and the pizza pie.

Jon (14:29)
You

Becky (14:30)
Yeah, like our fucking grenade, you know, like you're supposed to...

Yeah. That's... Yeah. That's the most American Italian thing. Well.

Jon (14:34)
I just watched our Italian viewership go down. ⁓

PJ (14:38)
Yes, we're all Italian by the way on the show just for reference. ⁓

Jon (14:44)
Oh

my god, dude. What about, what about, uh, did you guys ever have a sandbox when you grew up? Sandbox in the yard? Was it the turtle sandbox?

Becky (14:48)
Ha ha.

Yes. We- well.

PJ (14:52)
Yeah.

Ooh, the turtle sandbox!

Becky (14:55)
We... That was early in my childhood. We did, in fact, have a turtle sand- Yeah. Yep. And they still make them. Yeah, I'm- I mean, the colors might be a little different, you know? It was like all green before or whatever, but they make some variations now. ⁓ But yeah, I've seen one recently, actually. Yeah. It's nice.

PJ (14:59)
Yep. Yeah. The Fisher Price.

Jon (15:00)
I'd hope so.

But did... Really?

PJ (15:05)
They do. They do, yeah.

Jon (15:12)
Yeah.

All right, I can get behind that. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not going to

lie here. I just Googled 2000 summer and I'm looking at pictures right now and I'm blown away by some of these like ⁓ the bubble lawnmower. Either of you have that. This this is like this is like super young. It's not like newer, but. Yeah.

PJ (15:23)
Yeah.

Becky (15:32)
I wanted it. Did not have it.

PJ (15:37)
Well, a lot of these toys, like they still make now, but they just were innovated

during this time period where like there's so many plastic toys and random things that people like because there were toy creators, right? Because toys were huge. Video games weren't as big. Think of how many video game creators there are now. These people were making toys for kids at that same time or at that time. So everything under the sun would come out.

Becky (15:46)
Yeah.

PJ (16:05)
Nobody cared if it was toxic, if it was too sharp, it was gonna blow somebody up. Yeah, stretch Armstrong. We put that out in the sun and he had his little wiener dog too. You'd put it out in the sun, see how hot it got and then you could stretch it out until it exploded. Or put it in the freezer so when you punch your friend in the face, use it as an ice pack. It's the same thing.

Jon (16:08)
Stretch Armstrong.

No.

They don't see it coming So the thing

that shit gets hard as hell that when you put those I remember doing that and I accidentally snapped off the side thing and I was like, shit Yeah What a time

PJ (16:32)
yeah.

Yep. And then just oozes everywhere.

Becky (16:42)
I never had a stretch Armstrong.

⁓ No, I didn't. Was stretch Armstrong like a inside toy or outside toy? Yeah. Just stretch the limits of the stretch Armstrong.

PJ (16:44)
really? That's you stayed inside.

Jon (16:45)
Hmm.

PJ (16:50)
It wasn't necessarily an outdoor toy, but it was way more fun when you used it outside. I'll tell you.

Jon (16:55)
Oh absolutely, yeah, yeah, yeah, totally, totally, totally,

PJ (16:58)
Yeah, exactly. You throw it in mud

Jon (16:59)
But...

PJ (17:00)
and you just hose it off after, you're fine. Yeah. How about speaking of wrestler type guys, remember back in the day they had the WWE wrestler pillow people?

Jon (17:02)
More fun outdoors easily.

Becky (17:03)
⁓ man.

Yeah, I actually had like the action figures that were like, know, like the Rey Mysterio and the like, you know All the the action figures, but I remember the pillow ones, but I never had one

PJ (17:16)
Yeah.

Yeah, yeah,

there were there was some 90s commercials too, where obviously they're promoting WWE and things like that. But it was so you could pretend wrestle your friends and jump off of the ropes, which was your bet at the time, and not get hurt. But kids would literally just be behind the pillow and still break their face open. It was the 90s. Who cares, you know, get over it. Yeah.

Becky (17:44)
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, yeah, you got to off the turnbuckle off your bed. That's what you do.

Jon (17:46)
I feel like...

I feel like I remember the ⁓ TV commercial more than the actual things. Why do I remember them just getting folded in half at some point and just like traumatizing me as a kid? But no, you want the number one toy as a kid that probably every person that lived through the late 90s, early 2000s has used and used a lot of freaking Super Soaker.

PJ (17:56)
Yeah.

Basically. ⁓

Becky (18:06)
Ugh.

PJ (18:16)
Yeah. ⁓ I

was gonna, I was gonna leave Super Soaker to the end of the pod, John Wick. No, there's so much to unpack with Super Soakers, to be honest. I loved, I had an arsenal. I feel like I had a shed full and I just opened it up and I was John Wick of Super Soakers. Yeah. You wanna? Yeah.

Becky (18:20)
Mm-hmm.

Jon (18:20)
Just, nah dude, we gotta talk about it.

Do you remember which one you had? Because there were literally tons.

Hahaha!

Becky (18:37)
This is the fucking armory. Welcome to the armory, boys.

Jon (18:40)
I'm I'm just picturing PJ walking down the street as a kid. Yes,

you go. You don't come down this way.

PJ (18:45)
I got one in my sock tucked in just in case. I got the one

Becky (18:51)
Nuh-uh-uh-uh-uh!

PJ (18:53)
with the double tanks on the front. There was a white one with two like greenish yellow tanks. And then you had the biggest, you had the biggest balls on the street if you had the backpack because it didn't just have a gun. It was literally a fire hose that you had to pull the lever.

Jon (18:59)
You ⁓

Becky (18:59)


Jon (19:06)
⁓ dude.

Becky (19:07)


Jon (19:11)
Yeah.

PJ (19:13)
on

to unleash the threat.

Becky (19:15)
Yeah, it was like a fucking minigun. You held it you're like, shhh, yeah. Yup.

PJ (19:18)
Yes.

Jon (19:18)
Yeah, dude.

Didn't

PJ (19:22)
Thing had 800 PSI.

Jon (19:22)
the tank was on the back, right? ⁓ my God. I don't think it's a hundred. My ex, I don't know. Actually, let's see. What is a, ⁓ they don't, they didn't use PSI. use it is a nineties toy, but why was this one called the CPS 1500?

PJ (19:36)
No, no, not at all. was again, a 90s toy.

Becky (19:45)
Because when you're done using it, CPS gets called on you.

PJ (19:46)
Where are your parents?

Jon (19:50)
There's

other ones, CPS 2000. Oh my God.

PJ (19:53)
I do have a story

because I feel like a lot of kids did this and I hung around some like pretty disgusting kids as a younger person ⁓ does because you know when you're growing up in a neighborhood every once in while you have those disgusting kids or bully kids that are around the area. But what we did is we'd find the most disgusting liquids sometimes being bodily liquids and you'd put them in the super soaker and you would spray kids that you didn't like or kids that you were bullying.

Jon (20:15)
Come on.

Becky (20:15)
no.

PJ (20:22)
Did I do this? No, I won't say that on a podcast. I mean, yeah. But no, that was definitely a thing. And I feel like I've seen that in movies too, where they did that. Because, you know, when it's hot outside and you just need some sort of refreshment, sometimes when you get squirted with super soaker, you open your mouth.

Jon (20:25)
There can't be, there can't be proof. It's fine.

Becky (20:29)
Yeah

Jon (20:48)
Uhhhh,

not- I'm never doing that again. I don't think I can trust you after that.

Becky (20:50)
Well,

PJ (20:51)
But

Becky (20:54)
that's because you're over 30, John, not because...

PJ (20:54)
no, mean, exactly. That's because you're over 30. But no, mean, as far as it goes, super soakers were the way. you didn't have a super soaker, you weren't cool to put it down. Yeah. Yeah. With a little orange thing. Yeah.

Jon (20:56)
That's fair.

Dude, I had the basic bitch one, like the green one with the container that went on the top.

And you had the pump action part and then you could squirt it only did a little bit and it ran out in like three shots. And yeah, I didn't have any fancy ones.

PJ (21:17)
Yeah. I remember,

think McDonald's came out with Super Soakers as the Happy Meal toy. And it was little mini Super Soakers. Yes. Yeah. And you could still use the little pump on it. You had to fill it in the sink. You got to turn the sink handle.

Jon (21:27)
Really?

Becky (21:27)
Hmm. Well, pistols. Yeah. Like little pistols, right? Yeah. Where you get.

Jon (21:32)
Wow.

Becky (21:35)
Yeah.

Yes! my god, ⁓ my god, I'm having such

a vivid memory of the plug. The plug is like a little pup with the like, with like the ⁓ yeah, the prong is like a clothes tag. Yes! Holy shit. yes!

PJ (21:42)
Yes.

Jon (21:45)
my god!

PJ (21:46)
Yes! A little prongs on it! The T-prong! Yes! ⁓

Jon (21:52)
⁓ my god, dude.

Why have I blocked that out of my memory for so long?

PJ (21:57)
John was the one that got squirted with a piss.

Jon (22:00)
I'm starting to think I may have been.

Becky (22:01)
He repressed those memories. I got sprayed with piss with a McDonald's Super Soaker.

Jon (22:04)
Is this why I don't like water?

PJ (22:11)
It was piss again!

Jon (22:13)
Dude, the freaking baby, they were... God.

Becky (22:13)
Jimmy sprayed piss at me.

Jon (22:17)
There's no way they were McDonald's toys.

PJ (22:21)
yeah, either they were McDonald's toys or they had keychain versions of them at Toys R Us. I don't know. I'm pretty sure they were McDonald's toys though.

Jon (22:27)
It may

have been... Oh my god.

PJ (22:31)
Burger King also

could have been the innovators of the Super Soaker toys, but I don't...

Jon (22:35)
That wouldn't surprise

me. I would think it's more Burger King than McDonald's because a gun at McDonald's seems bad.

PJ (22:38)
That's fair.

I mean, again, 90s. Let's think back.

Jon (22:45)
You know, yeah, I

gotta, I mean, we were just looking at the CBS 1500.

PJ (22:50)
Right, right. It

was like paintball guns for kids who didn't want to get hurt, I guess. But they still kind of did the thing.

Becky (22:56)
Yeah. So

Jon (22:57)
Yeah, I didn't.

Becky (22:59)
it admittedly, I had, I definitely had at least one like actual super soaker, but ⁓ I also definitely had, you know, generic squirt pistols from the dollar tree type situation going on, you know, ⁓ because I mean, you know, there was a ton of.

PJ (23:06)
Yep.

Jon (23:13)
That's what I think I had.

PJ (23:13)
Mm-hmm. Yep,

yep.

Becky (23:20)
different types of squirt guns you could get. And yeah, that, ⁓ the ones where you fill it from the sink with the little plug, that just like lit my brain up in places I didn't know were working.

PJ (23:22)
Sure.

Mm-hmm.

Jon (23:27)
I had a bunch of those. I bet

it's because, well I know mine was because I had siblings. So they weren't gonna buy us both the Super Soca. Those shits were expensive. Exactly, so what'd they do? They went to Walmart, found the cheap option that just fills under the thing, and you get like 12 squirts out of it, and had to do it again.

PJ (23:36)
Right.

Becky (23:38)
yeah. Yeah.

PJ (23:38)
Yeah, you gotta share the thing.

Right now, Timmy gets one squirt.

Becky (23:47)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah,

PJ (23:50)
gets.

Becky (23:51)
you hand it off.

Jon (23:53)
I want to find a little, because the ones I remember were all see-through. The ones that you filled up at the top, they were always see-through so you could see how much water was in it and you know how sad you were going to be very soon.

PJ (23:59)
yeah.

Becky (23:59)
Yeah,

yep.

PJ (24:04)
Yeah.

Becky (24:04)
And you know what? We might be talking about the same style. The points, the tips were very pointed, right? That came off like a point on those clear ones. Yeah.

PJ (24:08)
I

yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was meant to cut glass, but also square people. ⁓

Jon (24:12)
Yes. Yeah.

PJ (24:20)
the only thing better than having a super soaker probably outside was having a Nerf gun because Nerf guns were pretty big back then too. They would just start it out. ⁓ so everybody and their brother had a Nerf gun.

Becky (24:27)
Mmm.

PJ (24:35)
and you would shoot them and lose the darts outside. So people are like, well, I'm not going to use this. But what they did adapt to in the 90s, and they even made a Nickelodeon version of it, is the Nerf football.

Becky (24:46)
⁓ yeah.

Jon (24:46)
I do remember the Nerf

football. Yeah, dude, so many games of football were played with that thing. Yeah.

PJ (24:50)
Yeah. Right.

Becky (24:53)
yeah.

PJ (24:53)
Nerf football had the little whistle on the side too. So when you threw it, it made that noise. then the commercials of the guy throwing it across the football field. Yeah. And then you had the one that glue and you had the Nerf one that looked like the brain, the brain ball. Do you remember that? They had one that was the Nickelodeon brain and was the same material that they made the Nerf football out of.

Becky (24:59)
⁓ yeah, yeah, the Whistlers, yep.

Jon (25:03)
Yeah.

No, what?

Becky (25:12)
I didn't have a brain

ball, no.

⁓ man, yeah, I see it. ⁓ my god. Wait a minute Yes, I have seen this

PJ (25:26)
You

Jon (25:27)
I've never seen this in my life. And I'm actually, think I

PJ (25:29)
⁓ I had one.

It was great.

Jon (25:31)
could have gone my entire life without ever seeing this. In what world is that aerodynamically feasible? It literally just, it looks like a brain.

PJ (25:38)
It literally wasn't. was just, think meant to be gross.

Becky (25:40)
Yeah,

I think it was just a pretty gimmicky, squeezy sensory toy. I don't think it was meant to be thrown like a football or anything.

PJ (25:44)
Right.

No,

Jon (25:48)
It's

PJ (25:48)
no,

came in and it showed, you know, kids on the back of the package. It's supposed to be thrown. I was going to say another thing that Nickelodeon had. Well, let me pump the brakes here because it was the three horsemen of the apocalypse because you had and it's still produced now is you have Plato, right? And and

Jon (25:51)
It shows someone throwing it. Yeah. Yeah, it's by Nerf too.

Becky (25:51)
Did it. Wow. Huh.

yeah.

Jon (26:14)
Great food.

PJ (26:15)
And yeah, exactly. You literally

Becky (26:17)
Not

gluten-free.

PJ (26:17)
can eat Play-Doh. That's a real thing, John. ⁓ Yes, it's non-toxic. ⁓

Jon (26:20)
Can you? Is it like, fine?

Becky (26:22)
It's non-toxic.

It's not gluten-free though.

PJ (26:25)
It's true.

Yeah, it's not good. Yeah, it's it's salty just like your armpits. Anyway, there was Silly Putty because Silly Putty has been around since like the 60s. Right. But Silly Putty made a big wave in the 90s again because kids were putting it on, you know, their their their funny papers, as my grandmother used to call them, their comic books and things like that in the 90s and getting the pictures off of it. Yeah, exactly.

Jon (26:26)
Oh, well there it goes. There goes my dessert.

Becky (26:29)
Mm-hmm.

and then

Jon (26:39)
⁓ yeah.

⁓ like the comic, ⁓ newspapers.

Gotcha, okay. I'm expecting the comic books as funny pages.

PJ (26:55)
⁓ Well, no, like

you could do it off of.

Becky (27:00)
You

know, that type of paper, the ink comes right up on the silly putty,

Jon (27:02)
Listen,

if you need to come up with a reason why your comic book pages are sticky, don't go to Silly Buddy.

PJ (27:07)
Yeah. Which kind of comics? Talk to me about it. Tell me where they touched you on the doll.

Becky (27:12)
This is just a

No, nobody touched my poison ivy comic.

PJ (27:17)
Not even me. ⁓

Jon (27:17)
Just...

PJ (27:21)
But the third horseman here is the Nickelodeon Gack. Do you remember that?

Jon (27:27)
I do remember the GAC. I remember always wanting the GAC and not getting the GAC. Yeah.

PJ (27:29)
Yes.

Becky (27:29)
Is that?

Was that like slime? Was it?

PJ (27:32)
Yeah, it was slime

putty, but it was the first, because slime is like, I mean, I have kids and they love slime. I despise it. But this was like the first wave of slime because Nickelodeon had their slime. Everybody used to get slimed and the Nickelodeon Awards, blah, blah, blah. And then they came out with this slime and it was disgusting. It stuck to everything. And then your parents would put you outside, go play with your Nickelodeon gag, and then it get full of like

Becky (27:34)
Okay. Okay.

Haha.

Yeah.

Yeah.

PJ (28:02)
you know, pine needles and dirt and rocks, and then you throw it away. And then you'd never see it again.

Jon (28:02)
and

Becky (28:02)
Earth and little rocks. So

I had I had a different variation of that, and I actually had the Power Rangers ooze version, the the purple Power Rangers ooze. I don't know if you remember that.

Jon (28:17)
That might be what I'm thinking of.

PJ (28:19)
Yep. but they

also had it for a lot of other toys. They had the ooze for Ninja Turtles in some of their toys from the nineties. ⁓ they had it for, ⁓ God, what other, cause I remember it for Power Rangers, obviously, because Ivan ooze was the greatest villain of all time. but yes, but, ⁓ you can quote me on that. And they had it for,

Becky (28:27)
yep, yep.

Yeah.

Jon (28:40)
Alright, I guess.

PJ (28:49)
Turtles in Time, they came out in the early 90s, because all the Turtles in Time toys, they had the Ooze. Because it's like the legend of the Ooze is the under title. ⁓ Swamp Thing toys, I remember having it for that. ⁓

Jon (28:56)
Mm-hmm.

Dude, how'd you have so many toys?

PJ (29:09)
Dude, I had so many toys as a kid. Literally so many. I had, what was the, not Polly Pockets, Mighty Max. Mighty Max toys? Yep. It was a boy version of Polly Pocket. They made a TV show out of it, actually. A cartoon show. ⁓ And then, yeah.

Jon (29:12)
Holy shit,

Becky (29:20)
The boy version of Polly Pocket.

Jon (29:21)
to the thing? Are they just Polly pockets for boys?

Really? Listen man, what

I remember as a kid, I remember being incredibly excited. Me and my brother and my two cousins, we were incredibly excited that my parents got a new TV and we got the box. All right? We got to draw things on the inside to make it a spaceship.

PJ (29:43)
Wait, wait, wait, ⁓ the

box or the box?

Jon (29:47)
No! What was the box in the 90s?

PJ (29:47)
Do you remember that in the 90s? The hotbox

Becky (29:50)
you talking about?

PJ (29:52)
where you could get all the upper channels instead of cable. ⁓ yeah. A lot of people have a hotbox. I don't know how my mom got it. Honestly, I just I didn't ask those questions, but it's the equivalent of pirate service now. But you'd get all the extra channels if you didn't want to pay for the extra cable package.

Jon (29:55)
I don't think anybody should have had the hotbox.

⁓ gosh.

Becky (30:07)
No.

PJ (30:14)
Through this box you just buy it one time and it just like hacked the cable Which wasn't necessarily a toy but on rainy days or if you're Becky you could stay inside and watch the hot box On HBO channels and they'd have all the the movies with the curse words in them and so on and so forth

Jon (30:19)
That's a thing?

Different heart box, different heart box.

Becky (30:26)
Ha!



wow. We didn't. Yeah, we didn't have anything like that. We just had we just had this guy who was like the friend of my aunt's boyfriend who would like come by with like burned DVDs every so often and like power tools that fell off the truck and stuff, you know. So.

Jon (30:37)
⁓ yeah, back in the day.

PJ (30:46)
you

Jon (30:50)
Did he?

PJ (30:52)
Right, right.

Jon (30:54)
Did he tell you

to go play with the toys while him and your, nevermind. You know what, I don't want to ruin it for you. We're just gonna, Uncle Jeremy, Uncle Jeremy was just a friend. He came over every so often, gave you videos. He just blocked out the rest.

PJ (30:58)
Yeah, go watch this. Get out of here.

Becky (30:59)
Yeah, go watch these DVDs,

PJ (31:08)
Yeah, it was VHS's for me.

That was the similar.

Becky (31:13)
That

was the only time my mom ever let me put the TV on full volume.

PJ (31:17)
Right, yeah.

Jon (31:17)
God! ⁓

PJ (31:21)
Yeah, I'll watch Little Squirmaid again and Band V4 Time.

Jon (31:27)
Wrong videos, wrong barriers, Uncle Jeremy.

Becky (31:28)
man.

Jon (31:32)
Jeez.

PJ (31:33)
God. Well, now I think about like, because the generation before the 90s, right, there was a couple of generations that had the hula hoop, but 70s had the hula hoop too. 60s, know, I think even back to the 40s, right?

Jon (31:41)
It's called the 80s, man. Sure.

Becky (31:45)
⁓ yeah, ⁓

How about the hula hoop for your ankles? You remember the skip it or whatever it's called? Yeah.

PJ (31:51)
Yeah. Yes! Yes! Skip it!

Jon (31:55)
It was the Skip

It. I only know that because PJ, when you messaged earlier about options for stuff, I think you said Skip-O.

PJ (32:01)
Mm-hmm. I

said skip-o, which is a card game. I'll skip it.

Jon (32:06)
It is a card game. It is a card game.

Becky (32:06)
⁓ haha!

Jon (32:09)
It is not a skip. Yeah, it's definitely skip it. I mean.

PJ (32:14)
For those younger kids

not to be confused with skibbity, it was a skippit. Which counted the amount of times that you got it around so you'd have to beat the shit out of your own ankles to try to your record to get this thing to go around. Because it knew it could track you. It was the first time you could be tracked. It wasn't off a watch. There was no aura ring that you could wear to tell you how much. But this thing was the first trackable fitness.

Becky (32:18)
⁓ yes. Yeah.

Jon (32:18)
⁓ man,

Becky (32:25)
Yeah!

Jon (32:26)
You

Becky (32:36)
Yeah.

Jon (32:41)
I think they

have. I think they have one now that track going around. yeah.

PJ (32:44)
yeah, they do. Yeah, they're

way more advanced now, but this thing was like ahead of its time.

Jon (32:48)
Who would have thought,

who would have thought that's the invention we need in this time of day? Yeah.

PJ (32:51)
Exactly. It was like an odometer for your ankle. ⁓

Becky (32:54)
Yeah. And

like, and all the while you're just slicing the shit out of your ankle because, you know, they didn't like deburr the plastic edges or anything, you know, they're just like, yeah, fuck it, give it to the kids. And then you just end up with like a fucking red ring of blood around your ankle.

PJ (32:59)
Wow.

Jon (33:00)
Of course.

You

PJ (33:11)
You have an ankle brace, kid? Nah, just had to skip it.

Jon (33:14)
You know,

it probably said on the box, use with socks. But I don't think anybody actually listened and it was just a, let's go, how many times. And you're like, my foot literally fell off, but I got 300. It's my, it. Anyone want to take guesses?

PJ (33:18)
I don't think it did. I don't think it

Becky (33:19)
haha

PJ (33:25)
Yeah.

Becky (33:26)
Yeah, it's fine. It's down to the bone. Yeah.

PJ (33:30)
Remember when they tried to come out with

the crossover version of Twister and Slip and Slide? They did the outside Slip and Slide. Or the water Twister? ⁓ Look it up, it's a water Twister. Yeah.

Jon (33:42)
What?

Becky (33:46)
No.

Jon (33:46)
Feel like that's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

It's just like, left hand on blue, slip, crack.

Becky (33:50)
Water twister?

PJ (33:51)
Water twister. You ⁓ Yeah. You might,

⁓ Yes. Twister splash.

Becky (33:55)
⁓ Twister Splash. ⁓

OK, it's like a splash pad with Twister. OK, I see. OK, OK. See, so you had me. You said like slip and slide. And what I envisioned was like human shuffleboard. And that's why I was agreeing with John about the lawsuit waiting to happen, because people just plowing into each other, kicking each other off the thing like. Yeah.

PJ (34:02)
Yep.

Jon (34:03)
What?

hahahahah ⁓

PJ (34:15)
Yes.

Jon (34:18)
Hahahaha

PJ (34:19)
It was like bocce ball but with people.

Jon (34:24)
Hasbro, please

sponsor us and we will give you this idea of human shuffleboard twister.

PJ (34:26)
Yes. Human shuffleboard.

Becky (34:30)
Yeah.

PJ (34:30)
Great score played among the elite.

Jon (34:32)
Spin it!

looks like Becky the Red! HWOOF!

Becky (34:36)
Yeah!

PJ (34:38)
I got him, got him!

Becky (34:40)
It can make it like curling where one person actually pushes the other one with a stick.

Jon (34:40)
Hey.

I got the other person that just like makes sure it's still wet moving down the thing.

PJ (34:49)
Yeah.

He's got the hose.

Becky (34:51)
So, you're, you're mini, you said mini max, right? At some point, mighty max, mighty max. That actually reminded me of, ⁓ what's technically probably supposed to be an indoor toy. I used to have max steel action figures, not dolls, action figures, max steel, right? Which is, which was like, I'm pretty sure it was like Temu GI Joe.

PJ (34:56)
Mighty Max, yes.

Hmm

Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

Jon (35:11)
Dulls.

Becky (35:18)
basically is yeah. And so what I would do with Max Steel is ⁓ I would go in the backyard. I would throw him up as hard as I could and see what part of him broke off when he hit the ground. Yeah. Usually it would be, you know, it would obviously depend on what he actually landed on. And so typically, you know, it's it's like a lag because those can kind of split out and get overextended because there's a lot of leverage at the

PJ (35:19)
That's fair. You know, I remember Max Steel, yeah.

Fair, valid? Yeah.

Jon (35:34)
What was the answer most of the time?

PJ (35:47)
Mm-hmm.

Becky (35:48)
they're longer, you know, than the arms. And then in order to get the head to actually come off, usually the torso has to split in half at the seam actually before it'll come out. So.

Jon (35:49)
yeah.

PJ (35:57)
Yes. Fair.

Jon (36:01)
What

you said jogged my memory because of something you said and PJ said. PJ, remember the ⁓ stretch Armstrong? Did you ever have the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle versions where only the legs and arms were that stretch?

Becky (36:04)
you

All right.

PJ (36:09)
Yes.

Yes.

Yep. Yeah. Yeah. It was only the midsection was fine, but it was just the extra parts.

Becky (36:22)
Huh.

Jon (36:23)
Yeah, it's just

extra parts are like maneuverable.

PJ (36:28)
⁓ my god.

Becky (36:29)
was it like in

like a plastic turtle shell kind of deal? ⁓ okay.

PJ (36:31)
Mm-hmm. do

Jon (36:32)
Yeah, I'm

PJ (36:33)
remember,

Jon (36:33)
pretty sure.

PJ (36:34)
because Ninja Turtles was such a huge part of my childhood, I do remember they had all the Ninja Turtle weaponry in plastic, but it was a hard plastic, not like you'd see today. But I remember hitting my friend in the face so hard with the nunchucks. And I was grounded for like a week because I didn't realize because I'm like swinging it behind me as I'm running down, you know, we're chasing each other and I hit him in the face and I

Becky (36:43)
Yes.

Yeah.

Oof.

PJ (37:00)
like the side of his head. But I also have the sword and the ⁓ size is what they're called, the forks that Raphael used. And I literally almost took my own eye out with these. That's probably why I have an eye phobia now. But you know, we'd run around outside pretending we were Ninja Turtles, because like you could. But these things sucked. Like you would get hit. The bow was solid. Donatello's bow would hit you in the shins and you wouldn't walk for a week. ⁓

Jon (37:09)
They have a name and I just don't remember.

Becky (37:12)
They are sad.

Jon (37:15)
Good lord.

Becky (37:18)
Yeah.

Yeah.

No

Jon (37:30)
It was the 90s man you'd walk the next day you just deal with it

PJ (37:32)
That's true. Get them outside.

Becky (37:33)
That's true, yeah. So,

I wanna say two things. John just sent us a picture of the Michelangelo and he didn't have nunchucks, he had fucking sausages as his weapon because those look-

PJ (37:36)
Yeah.

Jon (37:43)
They did! They looked like sausages!

PJ (37:45)
Get

out the pizza and the meatballs, the sausages. ⁓

Becky (37:48)
Yeah, they look like sausage links. Those

are not nunchucks. I don't know what the hell they were doing when they did that. Why are there four links? ⁓ But the second thing is your your Ninja Turtle thing just reminded me and this is probably gonna be pretty hyper specific I'm guessing I don't know if you guys have ever heard of Ampedguard But it's basically I mean, it's LARPing. ⁓ It's live-action roleplay. It's just

PJ (37:53)
my god. Yeah? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Jon (37:55)
Budget cuts, Budget cuts. That's what.

PJ (38:05)
Sure.

Jon (38:09)
Nope.

PJ (38:13)
Okay, fair enough.

Becky (38:15)
Amped Guard is kind of like a section that has its rules set and stuff like that for live action role play, right? And a buddy of mine, his family was like into it. And so we would literally like go to his house and play outside with fucking like PVC with pool noodle on it, duct taped and just beat the shit out of each other with like fake medieval weaponry. was a blast. Yeah. Yeah.

PJ (38:19)
Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Nice. That's great.

Jon (38:40)
We used to use sticks

PJ (38:43)
I remember

not necessarily doing that, but this was an outside toy for me that should have been an inside toy. But it does remind me of summer a lot, too, because a lot of the 90s summers, new toys would come out, kids are out of school. And there were a lot of toys marketed to little girls that they had to re-market to boys also ⁓ because there was no gender fluidity. But regardless of that fact, untapped market. ⁓

Becky (38:45)
Yeah.

Untapped market.

Jon (39:12)
You

PJ (39:13)
I already talked about Mighty Max, which was the boy version of Polly Pocket. But do you remember the boy version of Easy Bake Oven?

Becky (39:22)
⁓ I was gonna say, was it a grill?

Jon (39:22)
Was it a grill?

PJ (39:24)
No, it was, ⁓

my God, it was on the tip of my tongue. It was, ⁓ I'm gonna look it up now. ⁓ Dr. Dreadful, Dr. Dreadful. Yes, look up Dr. Dreadful.

Becky (39:38)
or dreadful.

PJ (39:42)
It was. And also creepy crawlers. Same same idea.

Becky (39:48)


okay, okay, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I never, I didn't do the Dr. Dreadful thing, did like the creepy crawlers thing was like you could make gummies and stuff. Yeah.

PJ (39:51)
Yeah.

Jon (39:54)
Same.

PJ (39:58)
Mm hmm.

Jon (39:59)
The

queasy bake oven.

PJ (40:00)
Yeah. Queasy bake oven, basically. Yeah. Yeah, so creepy crawlers were one thing where you could make bugs and slugs, worms out of either gummies or if you wanted them to be something squishy or whatever. And Dr. Dreadful was the other side of the thing where you could make these weird potion type experiments, but you could eat them.

Becky (40:02)
We easy bake oven.

Jon (40:03)
Is that,

that's what I'm looking at right here. The cookerator.

Becky (40:07)
Yeah.

Concoctions, yeah. There's like a, yeah, I'm looking at a Dr. Dreadful zombie brain lab where you can make a fucking brain and wow, that's wild, I,

PJ (40:28)
Same time. Yeah.

Jon (40:29)
Really?

PJ (40:35)
Yes. Yep.

Jon (40:39)
We should do

a better job of describing these. I'm just sitting here like, know, someone's listening to this. They're not looking at the shit we're looking at. So Dr. Dreadful looks like, I mean, it looks like a pirate thing, honestly. And it's got like a heart that's got tubes that go to two like cylinder tubes. And then it goes into like a brain. Yeah.

PJ (40:55)
Yeah.

But was all edible stuff. You could eat it after

Becky (41:00)
Yeah,

PJ (41:01)
you're done.

Becky (41:01)
that's like, you know, that's such like a gendered 90s thing, you know, because it's like girls are like, I baked a cupcake and the boys are like, I made worms, bitch. You know, like it's just like the nastiest possible thing. You know, worms are. Yeah. Yeah. ⁓ man. Yeah, so.

PJ (41:05)
Yeah.

Yeah, exactly. Sometimes I wanted a cupcake, you know.

Jon (41:18)
Jesus. What else?

you know, we can let's do this. Let's you know, we should talk about next. We're going to pull it back to hurting your ankles. All right. Let's talk about a razor fucking scooters, man. Let's go. Dude, I remember getting my first razor scooter and I'm pretty sure as a hand me down from one of my relatives, which.

PJ (41:25)
Yeah. What's up?

Ooh, okay. Raise your scooters! This'll wrap it up for us!

Becky (41:30)
Razor scooters. ⁓

Razor scooters.

PJ (41:41)
Mm-mm.

Jon (41:45)
Whatever man, didn't matter to me. I got it. Dude, that thing was amazing.

Becky (41:47)
Whatever.

Fucking sick. We. Yep.

Jon (41:51)
Do you guys both have razors?

PJ (41:51)
I, I wanted a razor

so bad when I was younger because kids in my neighborhood, well, I, was a late bloomer when it came to riding a bike. Right. So I was 10 when I learned how to ride a bike. It's not, not normal, but you know, it is what it is. Didn't really have a father figure. Kind of had to wait till I was old enough to learn how to ride a bike. Regardless. I'm sorry. It's fine. It's fine. I got over it. I got a razor scooter. We'll get to that part. But anyway.

Jon (42:05)
Okay. I actually don't know what I learned.

Becky (42:14)
Well now I'm sad. Thanks.

Jon (42:20)
Hahaha

PJ (42:20)
I

tried to rollerblade, rollerblading didn't really work out for me. Kind of got into skateboarding. Then the Razor Scooter came out. And I'm like, man, this is so cool. It looks awesome. You can do tricks on it. So it's kind of like a skateboard. And then I get it literally on Easter. I got it. I go out on my street and there was a small little pothole.

Jon (42:46)
⁓ no.

PJ (42:47)
The front tire goes into

it and I go flat on my face. Right in the street I come, I'm like, I'm never gonna ride that thing again. But I did. Next day I was out there, I'm like, man, this thing is so fun. I love a Razor scooter. Doing little flips and you just whip it right in your ankle. And you try to do like a bunny whip. Yeah.

Jon (42:52)
Flap.

Becky (42:52)
⁓ no.

Yeah.

Jon (43:05)
I still feel it. Like you try

Becky (43:06)
Yep. yeah.

Jon (43:09)
and do that, like 360 spin with the bottom thing and jump on it, but then you mistime it and all of a sudden you're thunk and your shins have no give. There ain't nothing there between metal and bone, man.

Becky (43:09)
⁓ god.

PJ (43:11)
Yep. Yeah.

Yeah. No, no,

at least a little. Yeah.

Becky (43:21)
Or it's like right... right on that

like fucking like ankle-knuckle thing that's right above your foot. that's the goddamn worst.

PJ (43:26)
Yes. Yeah. And

Jon (43:26)
⁓ yeah!

PJ (43:29)
forget about the brakes. That shit didn't even work. What was that?

Jon (43:32)
No, dude,

Becky (43:32)
Yeah

Jon (43:33)
if you're booking

it down a hill and you're pressing those brakes, guess what's happening? Nothing but heat, Nothing but heat.

PJ (43:37)
Nope. Zero thing.

Becky (43:38)
Yeah, but

you're better off bailing and trying to run the rest of the way down the hill at that point because yeah ⁓

PJ (43:42)
Exactly. get the, they get the speed shakes.

Jon (43:43)
⁓ my god,

the speed shakes on those things was so bad because the handles were so small. They were so little.

PJ (43:49)
⁓ awful. Yeah,

you'd hear it go down the road like this.

Jon (43:56)
Yeah

Becky (43:56)
Yeah, yep

Jon (43:59)
And then thwack crying.

Becky (44:00)
dude, so we had We had this building that we lived like it was right across the street from us, right and it in it was a weirdly shaped building where there was like a Like it would be a rectangle if a corner of it wasn't taken out, right? So that means there was an inside corner outside Right of the square and so it had

PJ (44:16)
Yep.

Got it.

Jon (44:21)
Okay.

Becky (44:25)
a metal and concrete ramp, like access ramp that went down one way and then turned the other way of the wall right on this inside corner. And my cousin decided to take her. So my Razor scooter was it was like a shared scooter. Me and my sister had it. It was mainly bought like for my sister because she was like, you know, a little more for the age of it. I was a little young and it was like a baby blue scooter. Right. And so

My cousin, he takes it and he's like, I'm going to ride down this fucking ramp. And he smacks right into the wall and doesn't do the turn and broke the scooter to where like, you know how the scooters can fold down? They have that little like little push lock mechanism. Fucking broke that shit. So now if you wanted to ride it, you had to put constant pressure forward to keep it up.

PJ (45:10)
Yeah. Yep. Doesn't do that.

Jon (45:11)
Yeah, dude.

PJ (45:17)
⁓ my.

Becky (45:20)
⁓ yeah, and he just smacked right into the wall with it. It was hilarious.

PJ (45:21)
you

Jon (45:24)
It just reminds

me of always sunny where Mac and Charlie are trying to pretend that they died and Max in the car and he's just I'm gonna jump out the end I'm gonna jump out the end. Okay, man, just nails the wall with the car

Becky (45:32)
Hahaha

Yeah.

PJ (45:41)
Like the scene in Hot Rod that movie where he tries to jump off the ramp just goes right in the lake ⁓

Jon (45:44)
Yeah, donk did you guys

ever do jumps with scooters

PJ (45:52)
yeah. Yeah. I did it with bikes, scooters, skateboards, all of it.

Becky (45:53)
Not with scooters, with bikes I did. Not with scooters.

Jon (45:54)
I tried

scooters once.

Couldn't do skate. I could do stuffs with the skateboards like normal like basic stuff without moving kickflip heel flip that kind of stuff boss or Pop shove it that kind of basic shit But when it came to jumps I was like nah not happening bro because the only jumps that I ever had were the plastic ones Dude you'd go off of them and they're like coming with you and then he gets stuck in this bail

PJ (46:03)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Becky (46:04)
Just writing, yeah. ⁓

PJ (46:09)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Nah.

Yes, and they'd slide under you?

Becky (46:18)
yeah.

PJ (46:22)


god. Those were the bane of my existence as a skateboarder kid.

Becky (46:24)
Yeah.

Jon (46:28)
Dude, but I could never get up them with the scooter. I always felt like with a scooter, I would get halfway up and it would just die because it starts sliding with me.

Becky (46:28)
Dude, so.

PJ (46:35)
Alright. ⁓

Becky (46:37)
Dude,

⁓ we had this, ⁓ we didn't have like a plastic, like a pre-made ramp. What we did have was, so my dad worked at a wire mill and when they got pallets in, I don't know, he would bring the weirdest shit home from the mill sometimes. But basically this was like a rectangular piece of plastic that I can only assume was there to reinforce a pallet of spools of wire or something like that. And so it was like, it was maybe,

Jon (46:53)
You

PJ (47:00)
Mmm.

Becky (47:06)
half an inch thin, maybe even less, honestly. But it was was big, like maybe five feet ⁓ long by three feet wide. Right. And so naturally he brought that home and we used it to put stuff under one side to make it a ramp for various things. Even even in the winter, we would like put it there, put snow on top of it and slide, you know, do that and everything. And so that was ⁓ that was the ramp that we use for like our like our bikes. I never did a scooter jump, but yeah.

PJ (47:12)
Mm-hmm.

Jon (47:21)
I care.

PJ (47:22)
Nice.

Jon (47:35)
I

definitely had a wooden ramp that I made with wood that I found behind my dad's barn and I just nailed it onto some other pieces of wood and was like, you know what? This is gonna be it. I'm gonna get like six feet of air here. Watch this. And like you go up it with a skateboard and it gets stuck at the bottom because the lip isn't big enough. It's just gonna fall over. Yeah, I've been there.

Becky (47:42)
Yeah.

Yeah.

PJ (47:50)
Yep.

Becky (47:54)
Yeah. Yeah. Or,

PJ (47:55)
Alright.

Becky (47:58)
yeah. Or

where you're like a little a little scared of the ramp and so you don't give it enough speed. And so it just kind of like you just kind of nose nose down and tip. Yeah. Been there.

PJ (48:05)
you

Jon (48:06)
hell yeah.

PJ (48:08)
Yep. All right.

I want to, because I'm the guest here, I'm going to go to both of you here to kind of solidify a lot of things that we've talked about so far. And we might have already talked about this summer 90s toy already, but I want you to name your top toy from your personal childhood as a kid.

Becky (48:32)
⁓ man.

Jon (48:33)
I actually know mine. I know mine 100 % like there's no doubt in my mind about it I've used this the most and it's probably generic, but probably a lot of people but ⁓ It's my bike man ⁓ I had a mongoose ⁓ because

PJ (48:35)
Okay, fine.

Okay. Solid. I mean, what kind of bike did you have?

Becky (48:45)
Hmm, that's solid.

PJ (48:51)
Also very

solid, the toys are special.

Jon (48:53)
It was the Toys R special, yeah. So

⁓ I had that and then I also had another one I don't remember, was like Atlas or something like that. ⁓ every year, multiple times a year, we would go up north and we would go mountain biking. We'd go to camp, we'd go out mountain biking, it was my favorite thing. used go every summer. I had both.

PJ (49:02)
⁓ huh.

Mmm.

Becky (49:11)
so this is a mountain bike. This isn't a BMX bike.

PJ (49:14)
Yeah, yeah, get that

bitch shit out of here.

Becky (49:16)
you had both? Okay.

Jon (49:16)
I have both,

yeah. So the Atlas, I think it was called Atlas. I'd have to check again. I don't remember. But yeah, dude, it had front shocks. Dude, it had front shocks with the really expensive bikes back then. You had street cred on the mountains if you had the middle shock. There was the front, the middle shock, man. That was.

Becky (49:18)
Okay.

PJ (49:20)
You had the shocks on there.

Becky (49:22)
I was saying, fuck shocks. We don't talk about. No.

PJ (49:28)
Yeah, the Street Sharks version.

yes, yep. You're like, what? Yeah.

Becky (49:37)
You can't, I do. I know what you're talking

about, but street cred, street cred on a mountain is an oxymoron. But yeah.

PJ (49:40)
Yeah, I do too.

Jon (49:49)
No, then dude I had then I had my mongoose I had my mongoose for totin around just no gears fucking nothing barely even had brakes Like pegs on the front and back that I lost two of so I had one on the front one on the back. Yeah

PJ (49:55)
Mm-hmm. Yep. Yeah. the pegs. Yep. The big giant

pegs, just in case you wanted to be a BMX rider. That's true. I want more things that can impale me on my bike, please.

Jon (50:07)
You know, you couldn't be too safe with these jumps. I want to make sure I had the grip to get the 12 feet of air. Exactly.

Becky (50:07)
Yeah.

Yeah.

Or

you have the pegs on the front so somebody can get up and sit on your handlebars or stand on the pegs behind you to stand behind you. Yeah.

Jon (50:23)
Oh, I

PJ (50:24)
Exactly,

you did both. And they could both bounce at the same time. I you were in a rap music video.

Jon (50:25)
didn't even realize it. The torture. The did. To the torture of the the pedals on the Mongoose bike to get grip, they had metal spikes. And the thing spun backwards. Which means when they spun backwards, they just nail you in the shin over and over again, and guess what they do? They impale you. Yeah.

Becky (50:29)
Yeah.

Haha

PJ (50:35)
Yeah.

The spikes. Yes. My shins remember them well.

Becky (50:39)
Ha

PJ (50:46)
Mm-hmm.

Becky (50:47)
Yeah.

Or they hit your fucking Achilles heel.

⁓ right. Yep.

Jon (50:55)
I don't know whose idea though I would I would do this in flip-flops all the time just ride my bike not thinking anything of it until you hear the black and spinning backwards because you stepped on the little wrong and it's going back and then what yeah or if you get going too fast yeah

Becky (51:00)
You

PJ (51:02)
your foot.

Yeah. ⁓

Alright. Yeah, same idea.

Becky (51:15)
yeah, you gotta put your legs out to the side to not

get destroyed.

Jon (51:17)
Yeah.

All right, Becky, what's your favorite?

PJ (51:19)
It's like a 1900

or 1700 soldier pulling an arrow out of him and like,

Becky (51:26)
man, man, it is it is so hard to choose a favorite ⁓ like bike is up there for sure because I mean that was Like I mean back then that's that was your transportation method if you had a friend a couple blocks away That's how you got place or like if you wanted to run to the store because you got some money from your parents or whatever you Used your but yeah, that's yeah, that's true. Well

Jon (51:32)
Yeah.

It's what you did as a kid.

PJ (51:41)
Yeah.

Jon (51:43)
Yeah.

PJ (51:45)
All right.

Jon (51:48)
I couldn't do that. I was two miles from the nearest store. Yeah,

PJ (51:53)
Yeah.

Jon (51:53)
I also didn't have friends. Yes, that's how they get you. Do you put a did you put a baseball card in the back wheel? Let's go. A frickin motorcycle.

Becky (51:56)
Yeah, well fuck you John not you ⁓ your childhood sucked anyways Fuck yeah with a clothespin. Yeah clothespin a baseball card to the

back next thing know you got a motorcycle Yeah, dude my my bike was a Kawasaki actually I That was I was like that was my fucking Still like my favorite bike and that shit got stolen from my backyard. I was so mad

Jon (52:14)
Nice.

PJ (52:17)
Let's see.

Jon (52:21)
Tell me it was green.

PJ (52:21)
Yep. Ugh, that's the

worst.

Jon (52:24)
Tell me it was green.

Becky (52:25)
So it was silver with green decals. Yeah, it was I I missed that bike. ⁓ But yeah, so man, honestly, I think my favorite thing has has to be ⁓ the swing set that we had and because. I will. Well, so, OK, OK, so I will this is a two parter, all right, because, yes, we had.

Jon (52:28)
⁓ that's nice.

PJ (52:28)


Mm-hmm.

Jon (52:32)
Damn.

Okay, which describe it. Because I think a lot of people had the same swing set and I'm curious.

PJ (52:42)
Okay, swings that's pretty cool.

Yep.

Yep.

Becky (52:53)
the green metal swing set that came with the white foam to go over the metal. That's that's the swing set, right? ⁓ Yeah. And and, you know, it had like the plastic swings and a little side a slide on the side of it and everything like that. And it had like the double the two person swing that's like a horse kind of almost. Yeah, it had that. ⁓ And then. We broke that the the frame of the swing set actually broke.

Jon (52:58)
Yeah, obviously, as one does.

PJ (52:58)
Yeah.

Yeah.

Jon (53:14)
yeah.

Becky (53:21)
And so my dad built one out of four by fours and ⁓ and like metal, ⁓ you know, metal plates. Yeah. And so like he literally he built one out of four by fours and like weather coated it was like, you know, weather treated lumber and like weather coated it with like, you know, outdoor paint and everything. And I shit you not until probably.

Jon (53:25)
⁓ shit.

PJ (53:28)
He's just here.

Hmm.

Becky (53:49)
maybe five years ago, that frame was still standing in the backyard that we had. I'm not even kidding. Like, I was like, holy shit, I can't believe they haven't even ripped it out yet, because I'm pretty sure he actually did like as if he was putting up a fence. He fucking cemented the shits down into the yard and everything. Yeah. And so like that shit did not break. But we yeah, we spent so much time on the swing set. was like swing set.

PJ (53:51)
Mm-hmm.

Jon (53:55)
Dang.

PJ (54:00)
You

Yeah, I'm sure.

Jon (54:07)
Really?

PJ (54:11)
Didn't go anywhere.

Becky (54:19)
little blow up pool and like little games that we just can't because I live next door to one of my other cousins, not the one that smashed into the wall. And so it was like my sister and I and our cousin. Yeah, he's he's dead now. No. And so, yeah, I think it's got to be it's got to be the swing set, I think, because we just spent so much time on that thing.

PJ (54:21)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Jon (54:30)
He's been out of commission for a while.

PJ (54:43)
solid. So I loved swing sets, I loved biked, I loved my skateboard, but my mom would never let me have a trampoline. So I had to get the next best thing. And funnily enough, Nickelodeon innovated the way of shoes back in the 90s, where they made moon shoes. Moon shoes. That was one of my favorite all the time. I would wear them in the house, jump around, go back outside, jump around.

Jon (54:51)


Becky (54:51)
same.

Jon (55:01)
Here we go. I waiting for this. Freaking moon shoes, man.

Becky (55:02)
Ha

moon shoes.

Jon (55:13)
Those things weren't meant to be in the house they slide like crazy

Becky (55:13)
Hehehe

PJ (55:13)
jump everywhere. Exactly. They definitely slide and I definitely

fell on my table a couple times ⁓ and on my head. But yeah, mean, moon shoes were it. They were the tits. ⁓ And I, I, it felt like I jumped 12 feet, but I'm sure it was only two inches. So they didn't go very far, but you could definitely jump in them. So I got

Jon (55:28)
Dude, those things, how high did you get? 12 feet, 11 feet?

Becky (55:35)
Yeah.

PJ (55:39)
a lot of exercise around the house and then I eventually became, you know, homebody inside and played video games for my early adolescence. yeah, moon shoot period. Yeah.

Jon (55:47)
So here's the thing about that though. One

of my best memories is one I can recall from years and years and years ago was playing Pokemon Yellow out on a picnic table at my house during the summer because I wasn't allowed to play my Game Boy at the time, but you know what I could do? Steal it from where I knew my parents hid it, which was in the top of my kitchen in a bowl, and I would take it.

PJ (55:55)
Mm-hmm.

Becky (55:58)
fucking Pokemon Yellow.

PJ (56:00)
Yeah.

Yeah.

Mmm. Yup. Yeah.

Jon (56:12)
Pop some new batteries in there turn it on go play Pokemon yellow outside in the picnic table where I know my mom Couldn't see from any of the windows So I could sit there I could play and just play and it was just it's just such a good memory Yeah

PJ (56:16)
Nice.

Hahaha



Becky (56:24)
man.

PJ (56:27)
That's awesome.

Becky (56:28)
Wow, yeah, that's cool.

PJ (56:29)
Well,

lots of good memories here on this podcast. Hopefully if you're listening.

Jon (56:32)
Dude, we didn't even touch

on anything like, what were the wheelies? Heelys, Heelys. Yeah.

PJ (56:38)
Heelys. Heelys were later, they were 2000s.

Becky (56:38)
⁓ wait, Heelys. Those are later. I do

have a question before we close out, though, because there's like this one toy that I never owned, but I saw at commercials, of course, right? That like seemed like the coolest fucking thing that I always wanted. Do you guys remember the Mark McGuire fucking plastic baseball bat?

PJ (56:44)
Yeah.

Sure.

Yes. Yes I do.

Jon (57:01)
What?

Becky (57:02)
The Mark McGuire, they're like, I don't even know who the hell Mark McGuire is. I'm guessing he's a baseball player.

PJ (57:06)
He set a world

record for home runs at one point in time. Yeah.

Becky (57:10)
Did he? Okay, yeah,

I assumed so. didn't really, I played baseball when I was a kid. ⁓ But I didn't really like actually like team baseball, but I never really watched baseballs. Honestly, I'd rather watch golf if I'm being honest. ⁓

Jon (57:26)
Was it his actual

ba- Oh! Shiiiit. So, you're talking the Vortex.

Becky (57:29)
Yeah, you remember that?

You like the Mark McGuire signed Vorta? Yeah, the vortex, I'm pretty sure is what it's like clear. It's like see through plastic.

Jon (57:39)
So

yeah, it's a see-through red plastic with like a black handle.

PJ (57:45)
Yep, that's the one.

Jon (57:47)
man because spoilers I typed in Mark McGuire baseball bat and it just came up with a bunch of Mark McGuire's baseball bats and then I had to dig down and I found there's a couple there was also apparently a blue one

PJ (57:54)
Ha!

Becky (57:54)


yeah, that makes sense.

Jon (57:59)
which I didn't remember this, I think one of my relatives must have had it because I've used this thing because I remember the sound man. The thing that it's just it's literally just empty plastic that you're slapping like a tennis ball or something with.

Becky (58:00)
Yeah.

PJ (58:08)
Yeah.

Becky (58:08)
Yeah.
