We're nostalgic about what games we liked playing when we were younger, from video games to outdoor fun! Jaslyn is forever haunted by Black & White, had a World of Warcraft romance fail, and played chill games for music listening. Ellen loves Crash Bandicoot, is frustrated by Kirby's Pinball Land, and got in trouble for water fighting! We're confused about game controller terminology and probably have you yelling at your podcast app a few times, sorry. Give us those tap taps because we hate toggles! Ellen sings a mailbox song and we read a whole bunch of listener mail, is one yours?

Please welcome special guest Sarah! In this episode two bright eyed bushy tailed musical lovers (Ellen and Sarah) discuss their love of the Mamma Mia franchise (with spoilers). Jaslyn provides much needed respite from the musical hype in defence of the musical haters out there. While Sarah and Ellen provide our listeners with additional context for Mamma Mia!, Jaslyn discusses her dislike for characters singing and dancing ‘out of context.’ We hope you enjoy this episode and please let us know your strong feelings about musicals, whatever they may be. Also, who’s your favourite Queer Eye guy?

In this episode, Sean AKA Steel Pipes, shares his LiveJournal entries from a politically conscious 13 year old to a modern day gay bar regular, yes he still uses his LiveJournal. Follow along with Ellen and Jaslyn while Ellen’s “longest” friend covers adventures from of his confusing crushes on the lead singer of a-ha and the drummer of Fall Out Boy, to vandalism involving a pastry brush. Sean would like this episode to be renamed “Sorry, You’re a Sociopath!” but Jaslyn and Ellen disagree. Sorry Sean, you’re wonderful!

The one in which we discuss our memories of the 1990s. We cover the music, fashion, TV, toys and movies that defined the decade. Dial up gets a decent shout out as we explore the vast differences in tech between the ‘90s and today. We get moony eyed over memorising your best friend’s phone number. Join us for a fun laughter filled look back with contributions from you, our lovely audience. Jaslyn wants the youths to know, ya not cool.
