In Episode #6, Carlos and Megan revisit the songs from Junior High that had lasting impacts and how they shaped their view of the world. It all started while the two of them binge watched Disney +'s Encore, where people go back to high school as adults to relive and perform in their high school musical. They start off by warming up to a song that was popular during that time and it gave Megan and Carlos the idea to go back and come up with a few songs that stick out from their middle school years (1985-1989). They cover Madonna, SWV, Bon Jovi, INXS, Paul Young, Billy Ocean, U2, and more! Unfortunately, they do attempt to sing, so you have been warned. Come along for a trip down their Gen X memory lane--they promise not to release any couple's duet albums if you listen to this episode.

The Real Podemic aka The COVIDcast

Do you remember Debbie Gibson's Electric Youth perfume? Carlos and Megan are back! They reflect on the bullshit that COVID-19 has created in their day-to-day lives as parents, business owners, and spouses. There are fights and insights, an in-the-moment reality show creation involving ASL interpreters, and an odd request for a set of hubcaps for a 1974 Dodge Dart. Dramatic Nextdoor readings are, of course, included.

In Episode #7, Carlos and Megan revisit the movies from Junior High that had lasting impacts and how they shaped their views of the world. After doing the same with music in Episode #6, they thought they'd continue the conversation with their favorite movies from their middle school years (1985-1989). We talk smack about The Warrior Poet of Suburbia and the “Oregon Trail” generation, the pure dominance of Gen X’ers, random fun facts of the movies we discuss, and of course, dramatic readings from the Nextdoor app. What were some of the movies that shaped you from your middle school years?
