Season 8 takes a deeply emotional turn as Dangerous Dave heads to Capeside for a full retrospective on one of the defining teen dramas of the late 1990s — Dawson's Creek.We rewind to 1998 in What Happened Way Back When, exploring cult films, era-defining songs, and the TV landscape that shaped a generation raised on feelings, film references, and first-love intensity. Retro Headlines set the cultural tone of a world on the brink of the millennium.In an expansive Dangerous Deep Dive, Dave breaks down the origins of Dawson's Creek, its creation by Kevin Williamson, the unforgettable core cast, and the character arcs that made Capeside feel real. From Dawson's idealism to Joey's independence, Pacey's growth, and Jack's groundbreaking coming-out storyline, this episode explores why the show resonated so strongly — and why fans still debate it today.The episode also features:

We live in a world driven by "word of mouth." From Netflix shows to 90s fads like Furbies, we trust the recommendations of people we know far more than paid advertisements. But how does this translate to our faith? In this second part of our journey through Colossians 1, we explore the power of "hearing" the gospel. Paul celebrates the church in Colossae not because of a marketing campaign, but because their faith and love were so evident that people couldn't stop talking about them. Join us as we discuss our shared calling to be "preachers"—not just from a pulpit, but through our lives, attitudes, and love for one another. Key Takeaways:The Power of Invitation: Why 88% of people would attend a gathering if simply invited by a friend, yet so few of us make the ask. Identity Beyond the Slur: How the term "Christian" started as a slang insult and what it means to truly live as a "Little Christ" today. Beautiful Feet: Moving beyond physical appearances to see the beauty of those who carry hope, peace, and grace into broken places. Mining the Depths: Why "cherry-picking" verses isn't enough and why we are committed to diving deep into the full context of Scripture. Scripture: Colossians 1:3-9, Romans 10:14-15

What if the thing that helps you stand out in a digital world… isn't more digital?In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend Mark Stern, founder of Custom Box Agency, to unpack how physical products are making a serious comeback in business. From flipping Furbies as a teenager to building immersive onboarding experiences for lawyers, authors, and SaaS companies, Mark shares how analog experiences are becoming the secret weapon in a world flooded with AI and digital noise.We talk about the lessons he learned in corporate America at Deloitte, why being a generalist can hold entrepreneurs back, and how stepping into your zone of genius unlocks true growth. Mark also walks through how physical products like card decks, game boards, and custom boxes can increase acquisition, retention, and lifetime value.If you're building a brand and want to create deeper connection, stronger engagement, and real-world impact, this conversation will stretch how you think.What You'll LearnHow corporate structure can actually prepare you for entrepreneurshipWhy physical products are gaining power in the age of AIThe mistake most entrepreneurs make when scaling their businessHow to use physical experiences for customer acquisition and retentionWhy gamifying onboarding increases results and engagementThe power of dynamic QR codes and hyper-personalizationHow a simple card deck can become a powerful front-end offerWhy analog experiences create emotional connection and memorability

Bruce Leroy joins us for a full-on 90s spiral — cartoons, toys, bad decisions, and the strange realization that we're all officially in different phases of life now. With birthdays looming (44, 47, and a “still-only-40”), we talk retirement dreams, food trucks, moving to the Philippines, and why there's no rush to have life figured out.Then we go deep on 90s culture: legendary cartoon intro music, Ninja Turtles vs. GI Joes, Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, He-Man being a toy first, and the absolute chaos of Blockbuster nights (including bike theft and surprise movies behind the wrong case). We reminisce about Tamagotchis, Furbies, Pogs, fake candy cigarettes, and doing wildly dumb things as kids — like outrunning a chow named Bear and learning lessons the hard way.We also get into cancel culture, social media, being present at concerts, how posting habits change as we age, and whether the 90s were actually better — or just different. From Dewey Decimal research to today's information overload, from old-school video games building grit to modern attention spans shrinking, we try to make sense of what's gained and what's lost.It's nostalgia, life perspective, and a lot of laughs — plus a reminder that more money doesn't fix bad habits, not everyone has to win, and sometimes falling into a trash can saves your life.Cheers!m&t

What do Labubus, Beanie Babies, Hello Kitty, and Furbies have in common? They're all cute! In episode 153 of Overthink, Ellie and David discuss cuteness. From the idea of cuteness as a logic of contagion to the evolutionary explanation for why we find babies so adorable, this episode has it all. How is the increasing demand for shortform content a symptom of cuteification? What are the harms of categorizing certain animals as cute? In what ways is cuteness tied to consumption? And is society heading towards a future of cuteness? In the Substack bonus segment, your hosts talk about the emergence of cuteness in Kawaii culture and what is so cute about Paddington bear.

The Five Idiots are back with a Holiday MAYHEM special!

In the 1950s, caller Joy’s dad painted the ceiling of her bedroom navy blue, covered it in glowing stars, and gifted her a telescope! Thousands flock to Downey for the annual masa pilgrimage at the Amapola Market!  Another listener recalls his favorite gift as a kid, a BB gun. However, he accidentally shot a bird and felt so bad, to this day he has never picked up a gun, BB or otherwise. Meanwhile Andy and Rahner talk traumatic haircuts from their past and being dumped by their barber! Andy plays listener talkbacks from people who recall their favorite Christmas gifts when they were kids.  One caller said we mustn’t encourage greed, which Rahner refers to as toy shaming. Media was so much cooler back in the midcentury. In 1996, what was the hottest Christmas gift? Of course it was Tickle Me Elmo! Others that followed include Buzz Lightyear, Tamagotchi, Furbies, Beanie Babies and Bratz Dolls. And now we have the Labubu. Andy rounds out the show by chatting with a GI Joe collector.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

People died for the toys, the holidays hit differently in the 1990s. From Tickle Me Elmo to Furby, Ben and Dylan explore the most popular holiday toys of the 90s in this nostalgia packed draft. With only 8 picks, many toys will be left on the shelf. Who's team was worth staying up all night for?

with each holiday season, there's typically one or two highly coveted items that set up a frenzy amongst consumers, the-must-have-gift-of-the-year, if you will. The Furby. Nintendo Switch. For the well heeled and easily influence by marketing amongst us, perhaps the Peloton.  In 2025, however, the can't-miss gift is unquestionably the 7 DVD box set, “Dr. Gene Scott 95th Birthday Commemorative Edition : The Spiritual Nitro Pills” Currently marked down from $139.99 to a mere $59.99, this exhaustive (and exhausting) collection will delight viewers young and old (provided they have 25 hours to spare).  I don't have 25 hours to spare (and I've heard enough bands with two drummers already, if you know what I mean) Instead, on this week's program we're going to tackle the age-old question, what if Werner Herzog's “God's Angry Man” (1981) had instead been called “God's Hangry Man”. Provided, y'know, you have two hours to spare.

Send Mary and Kelsey a Message!Remember when we as a nation all collectively believed that Beanie Babies would fund high education and down payments on our future homes? In this episode, Mary and Kelsey go back to their Christmas wish lists of the 90s and 2000s and revisit the most-wanted toys. All of their picks included a hint of drama and they break it all down including how the Beanie Baby bubble burst, why Tamagotchi sent kids to the guidance counselor, the time Furby caused a spy scandal, and the litigation-happy founder behind Razor scooters. This episode will have you feeling nostalgic and ready to mark up a Sharper Image catalogue! Support the show Instagram: @whentheypoppedpodTikTok: @whentheypoppedpodEmail: whentheypoppedy2k@gmail.comWebsite: linktree.com/whentheypopped Subscribe to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=85610411

In this episode I chat to Lou Furby, Specsavers' UK D&I lead, who shares how Specsavers built a workplace menopause support program from the ground up. We cover the creation of MenoTalk, the importance of inclusive, cross-functional involvement, the role of top-down sponsorship and allyship, practical strategies for creating a supportive workplace culture around menopause, and how to sustain momentum with education, language, and data. Packed with actionable tips for anyone aiming to start or grow a menopause-focused employee resource or wellbeing initiative. Key quotes “Don't try and do it all on your own. Get the right stakeholders involved. Have a steering group, a co-chair, and a sponsor.” “Pick off the low hanging fruit. Pick off the stuff that you can do and implement quickly.” “It's a war, not a battle.” (on sustaining momentum and not letting initiatives stall) “Education and information was absolutely key.” (on the foundation for successful engagement) “Language matters. Be direct and transparent about what menopause is.” (on avoiding euphemisms and building credibility) “We can't mandate everything in a joint venture, so we rely on leadership visibility and storytelling to drive engagement.” Practical takeaways for HR & wellbeing teams: Start with a steering group: bring cross-functional representation (HR/ER, facilities, IT, wellbeing/D&I) and appoint a co-chair to share the load. Secure an advocate sponsor: a trusted, visible leader in the business to champion the initiative. Listen first: let people's needs drive the program; avoid overloading participants with campaigns before trust is built. Use language that's clear and factual: don't shy away from the terminology of menopause and related symptoms. Connect with external expertise: partner with specialists to provide credible education and resources.  Implement quick wins: pick “low hanging fruit” that deliver tangible benefits.  Align with broader wellbeing and D&I goals: link the initiative to accreditation (Wellbeing of Women Workplace pledge) and overall staff welfare programs. Consider store-level realities: in retail, tailor adjustments to individual roles (e.g., door duty vs. back office) and support teams accordingly. Support managers with tools and training: give managers a framework for having compassionate, validating conversations. Provide holistic support: combine access to private care, wellbeing apps (Headspace), and flexible adjustments to support employees. Three actionable next steps you can take Create a cross-functional steering group and appoint a co-chair and a sponsor to lead a menopause initiative in your organization. Sign up for the Wellbeing of Women Workplace pledge and plan an introductory menopause education session with an external expert. Start a candid conversation with your HR/ER team about how to support line managers in having empathetic, validated conversations about menopause with their teams; aim to roll out basic manager training.   Resources: Connect with Lou over on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lou-furby-49290844/ For menopause training and awareness sessions: www.managingthemenopause.com   If you enjoy the podcast please help us grow by sharing this episode, or writing a review.

The season invites cozy gatherings, a time when board games find their way to kitchen tables and living rooms, bringing people together in shared strategy and laughter. It's the perfect backdrop for diving into rich, immersive games that stretch the imagination and challenge the mind. This fall, three standout titles offer distinct flavors of strategic depth. Aeterna spans eras, asking players to draft cards and manage resources across shifting historical landscapes, testing tactical foresight. Tianxia, set in China's Warring States period, blends politics, trade, and tower defense as players vie for prestige while fending off nomadic invaders. It's a Euro-style game with layered mechanics and historical nuance. Meanwhile, Wroth provides the challenge of area control and alliances that can suddenly turn cold just like the air outside. Together, these games reflect the season's introspective mood, where complexity and strategy take center stage. This year's National Toy Hall of Fame finalists celebrate both nostalgia and innovation for us. From timeless tabletop classics like Catan, Battleship, and Trivial Pursuit. Or for those toys that make us scratch our head and say really — thus soft balls of Snow. Iconic toys like Furby and Tickle Me Elmo bring a wave of 90s tech nostalgia for your kids, while Spirograph and Connect Four remind us of our childhoods. Thanks for listening and be sure to head over to our Discord channel and discuss not board games, but who do you think should be in the Toy Hall of Fame. Learn more about your ad choices.

One Battle After Another, is what I should rename this podcast, because the movie was that good, and a full review is inside. Plus Xbox takes another self imposed L, Sony gives itself a gold medal, and EA goes private. The Simpsons are headed back to the big screen, and an AI "actress" has Hollywood in a fervor. Plus Forza Horizon is finally headed to the land of the Rising Sun, and Ubisoft gives Assassin's Creed a new home.

Three years in and somehow we're getting weirder, in the best way. We kick off with Taco Bell's Y2K menu (double down on the double-decker), a Furby that will not die, and Jess's spooky-cool “Bottle-yaga” for Knott's Into the Fog. David returns from a cross-country odyssey (Marceline pilgrim badge unlocked) plus an Angels Flight joyride and a spicy modern-art rant (banana, meet wall). We swap EPCOT lore from the man behind “Drinking Around the World,” then dive into park reality: line-cutting mega-squads, DIY Lightning Lane scams, and why Disney's feeling more two-tier than ever.Also: introduce yourself to the Lincoln Challenge (stand like the animatronic—no hands, no lawsuits), a Star Tours hat caper, and a Patreon tease for our two-part Marceline video drop. It's tangents, tiki, and just enough chaos to keep the Jungle boat afloat.Rate, review, and tag us with #LincolnChallenge.Use code JUNGLE10 for 10% off subscriptions or merch, from this episodes sponsor WDW Magazine—the glossy, collectible way to keep the magic on your coffee table.

Nick welcomes Monica Eng from Axios Chicago for another wide-ranging conversation on the stories shaping the city. They cover local politics, a trip to the legendary Steak N Egger, Burrito Beach turning 30, new restaurants outside the Joliet casino, the best Korean dumplings on Pulaski, and key updates from CPS as a new school year begins. Later, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick for laughs and nostalgia. They chat about Joliet casinos, the reboot of Hollywood Squares with Drew Barrymore, and the end of AOL dial-up. The episode also revisits 90s pop culture staples—from Now That's What I Call Music! and The Macarena to the truly terrifying Furby. [Ep 379]

What if a house doesn't need to be haunted by something visible to ruin the lives of everyone inside? Lindsay from Calgary shares the chilling story of a rental home that seemed normal—until it wasn't. Whispers in the basement, phantom footsteps, a locked door opening by itself, and a Furby talking at 3 a.m. were just the beginning. Over time, nearly everyone who lived there or stayed there suffered from depression, anxiety, or violent mood shifts, including thoughts of self-harm. And even the next tenants didn't escape unscathed. Was it bad luck… or something darker feeding off the people inside? This is a daily EXTRA from The Grave Talks.
