Understanding the Rise and Fall of Early Social Media Giants 💻
After School Special Podcast
12/02/22 • 49 min
Ready to blast into the past? Promise us you won't get too nostalgic as we trace the roots of social media, from the early days of AOL Messenger and BlackPlanet.com to the towering titans of today, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and even TikTok. We're opening up about our personal digital journeys and addressing the elephant in the room—social media addiction. We're also going to chat about why we all jumped ship from MySpace and moved on to newer platforms.
If you've ever pondered the geniuses behind the early digital platforms, then fasten your seatbelts because we're sharing the inspiring story of Omar Wasso, the trailblazer who brought us BlackPlanet. Omar's story, his struggles as a biracial individual, and his relentless drive to bring people together online are truly captivating. We're also taking a deep-dive into our experiences with these sites, starting with the excitement of dating chat rooms, the joy of customizing personal pages, and even how Barack Obama tapped into BlackPlanet's power during his 2008 presidential campaign.
Brace yourselves for the thrilling tale of MySpace's rise and fall, once the most visited site in the US, raking in a whopping $800 million in revenue back in 2008. We’ll also touch on our own projects, podcasts, and, of course, our thoughts on the World Cup and soccer because why not! So, gear up for this roller coaster ride through the history of social media, and don't forget, you can always leave us a voicemail on Speak Pipe.com to join the conversation. Let's get this show on the road!

Unearth how the structure of this deal would shape his career, challenge his ownership of his name and likeness, and cast ripples through the comedy landscape. Be prepared, we've also got some heart-stopping revelations about our podcast's future!
Our laughter-filled exploration leads us to some of Chapelle's most iconic sketches. From the race draft skit that brought Lenny Kravitz to the Jewish delegation to Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Story that left no one's sides un-split, we cover it all
! We also celebrate memorable performances from the likes of Jamie Foxx, injecting humor and perspective into our journey. So buckle up, there will be no shortage of chuckles and insights!
Then, we turn reflective, as we ponder over Chappelle's Show's legacy and the aftermath of Chappelle's abrupt departure. We dive into swirling rumors, his retreat to South Africa, the heart-wrenching truth about his unpaid dues, and his triumphant $60 million deal with Netflix.
We methodically unpack our plans to broaden our podcast's social media horizons. This is not just another show note, it’s an invitation to a unique journey through the ups and downs of a comedy legend's career.

Sneakers: Inside the Revolution of Michael Jordan's Shoes 👟
After School Special Podcast
05/19/23 • 43 min
Ever wondered why the youth camp outside stores, braving the elements just to get their hands on the new Air Jordans? Or why people, even on tight budgets, lust after those designer shoes?
Join us as we take you on a journey through the captivating world of sneaker culture - from the back-alley basketball courts to the front rows of fashion weeks. Hear the shocking story of a young boy's tragic end over a pair of coveted Jordans and understand the allure of these sneakers that had such a profound impact.
Imagine a time when the mighty Michael Jordan was yet to sign with Nike, and his mother was busy playing negotiator. We'll take you behind the scenes of this historic deal and show you how Nike cleverly capitalized on the 'forbidden' nature of Jordan's shoes.
Reminisce the 90s, the era when sneaker culture was emerging and brands like Nike, Adidas, and Jordan were evolving into household names. Touch upon the cultural impact of Detroit Piston's 'Bad Boys' era and Raider's influence on fashion and how they fueled the rise of sneaker culture.
We aren't just talking shoes here. This is about music, identity, and self-expression. It's about the comfort of Vans versus the allure of Yeezys, and how your shoe choice can be a reflection of your personality.
Join us as we explore the acquisition of Converse by Nike, the unique features of LA Lights, and how Birkenstocks went from hippie to haute couture.
We're not just discussing footwear; we're revealing the heart of individuality, identity, and inspiration. So, tune in – this is a journey you don't want to miss.

After School Special Podcast
03/17/23 • 24 min
Are you ready for a nostalgia-filled journey? Fasten your seatbelts as we take a trip back in time to the 90s, unearthing the origins and exploring the impact of the beloved kids' sketch comedy show "All That". Brought to life by Brian Robbins and Michael Tolton, "All That" wasn't just a show, it was a phenomenon that redefined comedy for kids. With us, you'll step behind the scenes, exploring the nationwide talent search and the series' growth from its inception in 1994 to its culmination in 2007. Join us, as we remember and relive the magic that was—and for many, still is—"All That".
Our journey doesn't end there. The second part of our trip takes us through the legacy of "All That", its star-studded 100th episode, and the unforgettable musical performances. We discuss the noticeable transition after the departure of comedy icons Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell, and the subsequent arrival of comedian Gabriel Iglesias. The diverse cast, multiple reunions, and personal recollections intertwined with the show's history make for an engaging conversation. So, whether you grew up with "All That", or are a newcomer to the world of 90s kids comedy, step aboard. You're in for a ride to remember.

The Unintended Effects of DARE and 'Keeping it Real' Programs 💊💉
After School Special Podcast
03/10/23 • 29 min
Get ready for a deep dive into a forgotten element of your childhood – the DARE program. Remember the workbook, the lessons, and that profound promise to stay off drugs? We do too, and let’s just say; we were more into cracking jokes in the workbook than taking the lessons to heart. High on nostalgia and low on sobriety, we take a trip down memory lane to analyze the effectiveness of this well-meaning government initiative, discussing our personal experiences, the ironic popularity of DARE-branded apparel in counter culture, and how the program compares to other drug prevention measures like 'Keeping it Real.'
Ever wondered how different communities and generations have dealt with drug issues? We do a side-by-side comparison of how the opioid crisis and the crack problem were managed. We ponder how the War on Drugs has contributed to the criminalization of drug use, and how these measures have disproportionately affected minority communities. From the government's role in steering children away from drugs to the controversial theory of CIA introducing heroin into inner cities, we pull no punches in this episode.
Lastly, we reflect on the irony and the unintended effects of these programs on our communities. How did an anti-drug program end up becoming a fashion statement for the counter-culture? Does 'Keeping it Real' really keep kids off drugs, or is it just another failed attempt like DARE? Tune in as we question, analyze, and challenge these initiatives and their impact on our society. Ready for a reality check? Join us on this exploration of society’s failures and ironies.

The Power of Music🎶: A Nostalgic Perspective 📼 Vol.1
After School Special Podcast
07/29/22 • 63 min
Remember the thrill of creating your first mixtape?
For us, it was a treasured ritual of selecting the perfect songs that would serve as the soundtrack of our lives. In this nostalgic trip down memory lane, we revisit the music that has sculpted our identities - from iconic tracks like Moments in Love by the Art of Noise, to the profound influence of Tupac's All Eyes On Me.
Ever wondered how music has evolved over generations? We take a leap back in time, from the primal sounds of our caveman ancestors to the digital age of Napster and Kazaa. We ponder the power of music, discussing our personal transformations when we discovered The Strokes, the impact of Eminem and ICP, and the fashion shows our middle school hallways became, underscored with the latest hip-hop and rap.
Finally, we invite you to share your musical journey. As we delve into our own experiences - from the frustration of finding new music pre-streaming era to the adventures of record store scouring and bootleg movie shop explorations - we want to hear your stories too. So, put on your headphones, press play, and get ready to embark on a musical odyssey with us.
