Description

Escape into the early 2000's with two besties who were four years old when the towers fell but have a LOT to discuss. We want to bring you the experience of being at a sleepover in 2004 with a little bit of the vibes of your elementary school library. Your crush has frosted tips and/or a puka shell necklace and all is well.

We are so back. What did we miss. Anything bad? Surely nothing bad. JOIN US as we look back on the US presidents in our lifetime as we lament about the general nature of everything right now. DON'T make me get sentimental but we missed you all and perhaps need this podcast as a coping mechanism. We offer it humbly to you as well.
Welcome to our new show What in the Y2K! In our first episode in which Lauren's audio sounds like she is coming to you live from a fish bowl, you can cure your gender dysphoria by following along with an expertly made online quiz featuring the cursed animals of the Barbie cinematic universe of the early 2000's. Come on over to our Instagram and tell us which Barbie creature and gender you are and tune in next time! Follow us on ig: whatinthey2k
If you ate that hamster bedding flavored Special K, you may need to hear this.
We read your childhood teacher stories and add some of our own. This episode has it all. Toilet apples. Carbon monoxide. Knives. Grooming convictions. Bricks. Training children to dispose of bodies. You name it. Also turns out that music and band teachers may need to be rehabilitated for the betterment of society. Peace and love.

Lauren is big mad and rambling in this exploration of Colorado Springs based far-right Evangelical lobby group, Focus on the Family. They have dirty wigs, and airplane, a slide, and a limitless well of bigotry, what's not to love?

We have so much to say and literally nothing of substance. Why were the skater guys in high school so fond of the f slur? Only time will tell. We talk about Tony Hawk obviously kind of. And Max Goof inevitably.

Maybe we would have been better off if the y2k bug had wiped us out on January 1st 2000. But it didn't! So instead you have to listen to this episode.
Did anyone else succumb to the horrors of America's Next Top Model in their adolescence? Raise your hand if you were scared. Me too. I was really, really scared. THANK YOU Jess for joining us this episode.
Heyyyyyy we're back if you even NOTICED we were gone. Join us to try and recall the full plot of a movie formative to our psyche and FASHION, and embark with us in the realization that Paolo is canonically TWENTY SIX??? Don't be an outfit rememberer btw.
What is the most incredible thing you ever did for a crush when you were a child? Went to the hospital in an ambulance for the bit? Learned all the lyrics to every Eminem song? Maybe physically injured them? Join us to hear some of y'alls stories and the INCESSANT sound of Lauren's dryer running in the background (I am beyond saving).
Welcome back to us YAPPING and this week we are trying to remember the plots of the 3 Spy Kids films 99% from memory (goes badly) and then Kassie gets so excited about the differences between spies and secret agents that she gets chills. Tangents include pirates, cowboys, and Antonio Banderas.
Hey team we are discussing the nasty body type culture of the early 2000's but we aren't convinced that we have had any respite from that trend actually. The fact that we live in the timeline where Kate Moss said "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" proves we live in the dark timeline.
Today we are discussing the American diet for children, specifically what we ate growing up in the 2000s. We also learn what makes Minute Rice fast and pay homage to the Flintstone vitamins that rescued us from death's door.
We're BAAAAAACKKK and we are talking about the Drug Abuse Resistance Education of the 2000's. If you: 1. ever got busted by the drug dogs in school 2. got body shamed by the D.A.R.E officer 3. have a really giant head that normal glasses don't fit then this episode is for you. gods bless.
Class is in session again and this time it's science class. We chat about our science class legacies and Kassie sings a few songs. Bill Nye MIGHT be responsible for planes falling out of the sky and we quiz ourselves on the most heartbreakingly simple science trivia since the Earth was created 3,000 years ago
We finish up our (4 bullet points) of discussion on the Quiet on Set documentary. Kassie is coughing, Lauren is disassociating at the grocery store, nothing has changed. This episode, like the last, includes a lot of ~not fun~ topics include the abuse of minors so proceed with caution.

Kassie and I put on our serious hats for a minute to discuss the recent Quiet on Set documentary as well as Jennette McCurdy's book I'm Glad My Mom Died as we reminisce on our favorite Nickelodeon shows from the early 2000's. This is part one of two of men who it is on sight with if we see them out and about ever.

I wish I was the person that I was before I asked you all if you had any childhood pet trauma stories. Spoiler alert that everybody saw coming: most of these are about hamsters. Send this episode to the child in your life asking for a pet hamster (don't for legal purposes).
If any of you live in a mansion where we can mattress surf please hit our line immediately it is an emergency. Make sure your nails are done and that you straighten your hair or Julie Andrews is going to call you ugly. See you soon.

Remember that kid who took gym class way too seriously? Fueled by some enigmatic, yet white hot, internal rage? Why was his name always Tyler? Don't let the scooter scalp you challenge (impossible). Take a lap.
