Feeling sentimentality for the past

The DeLorean's still running blue, and this week it lands in October 2002, the point where SmackDown stopped experimenting and started executing. In Episode 3 of Shot of Nostalgia: The SmackDown Six Era, we look back at No Mercy 2002, the night Paul Heyman's vision for wrestling took full shape. SmackDown had found its rhythm. While Raw chased spectacle, SmackDown focused on structure, timing, and storytelling. It became a show built around wrestling that felt alive and purposeful. The SmackDown Tag Team Championship Tournament showed exactly what that approach could do. Each team brought something different to the table. Angle and Benoit were reluctant partners whose precision outweighed their egos. Edge and Mysterio wrestled with emotion and energy that connected instantly with the crowd. Eddie and Chavo Guerrero mixed pride and deceit into something that felt effortless. We'll walk through the full month of October, from Edge and Rey's semifinal win over Simmons and D-Von, to Angle and Benoit's tense victory against Los Guerreros, and finally to the No Mercy 2002 finals. Angle and Benoit versus Edge and Mysterio remains one of the most complete tag matches WWE has ever produced. Every tag mattered, every transition meant something, and when Edge finally tapped to the Ankle Lock, the audience clapped because they understood what they had seen. We'll also revisit the aftermath, when the handshake between Benoit and Angle turned to chaos, the trophy broke, and Los Guerreros stepped in to take advantage. In that moment, the tag division reset, and SmackDown's golden run officially began. We're also doing a full watch-along of the No Mercy 2002 Tag Team Finals. Sync up the match, press play, and experience it with us as it happened. By the end of October 2002, SmackDown wasn't chasing Raw anymore. It was proving what weekly wrestling could be. More than two decades later, you can still see its fingerprints in AEW's tournament storytelling, WWE's renewed focus on the ring, and how modern wrestling builds from match to match. No Mercy wasn't about nostalgia. It was proof that the system worked. Episode 3 drops Friday at 7 PM ET. Join us for the full breakdown and watch-along.

The old seems to be the newest trend. While people are always interested in the newest thing, nostalgia is flooding the musical scene right now – Metallica, Oasis, Tool, AC/DC, and the Pixies are just a few of the acts selling out stadiums and venues at the moment. But what's behind the boom in nostalgia acts? How much longer can it last? Chris Schulz joined Jack Tame to discuss the trend. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They will also get into how girlhood in the 90s was presented through the Olsen Twin movies and TV shows and the joys that came from having movies advertised specifically for middle school aged girls.

Send us a textNew music lit the fuse this week, and we had thoughts. We dig into Summer Walker's latest drop with honest, replay-tested reactions—from that Brent Faiyaz opener and a standout Lotto verse to Anderson .Paak's gut-punch on 1-800 Heartbreak. Then we pivot to Wale's Everything Is A Lot and give it the respect it earns: an intro that bleeds real life, themes that sit with loss and pressure, and the reminder that consistency matters even when the internet forgets.We keep the spotlight on artists who are building in real time with a genuine plug for J Amari's Off The Bleachers, produced with AYO Chris. Expect specific track love, where to find it fast, and why exceeding expectations is worth celebrating. Then the room gets candid about Kevin Gates' comments on dating younger women—unpacking preference vs. power, how language reveals intent, and why “training” a partner isn't the flex some men think it is.Nostalgia hits hard as we map the B2K and Bow Wow tour like event architects: who should open, who should cool the crowd down, where to drop Nuck If You Buck without starting a mid-show mosh, and which act should close. It's a fun, strategic walk through the 2000s catalog that holds its own today. The tone sharpens again as we talk Nicki Minaj speaking at the UN about religious persecution in Nigeria, why credibility and context matter, and how politics collide with fandom. We ask hard questions about platforms, consistency, and whether “canceling” without nuance helps anyone.FOLLOW. SUBSCRIBE. SHARE.

Ned Heads - Warning: This Episode Contains Excessive Gratitude and Mild Emotional Damage. This week we dive deep into the surreal joy of reconnecting with the childhood actors who helped shape our earliest creative dreams. We unpack how nostalgia fuels our passions, why pursuing what we love is a lifelong survival skill, and how maintaining connections with the people who once inspired us continues to guide our creative journeys today. As we reflect on the importance of community, gratitude, and staying engaged with the creative spark that started it all, we celebrate the fulfillment that comes from nurturing our artistic sides—no matter how old we get. This episode is all about honoring where we came from, embracing where we're going, and appreciating the creatives who walk beside us along the way.

Wrestling has been uneventful lately, but recent developments on SmackDown have sparked interest.Drew McIntyre is being positioned as a key member of "the Vision" stable, possibly replacing Seth Rollins.Drew has lost many matches in the past, but aligning him with Paul Heyman and others could revitalize his character.Bronson Reed is being elevated and is no longer treated as a secondary character.WWE often struggles to build multiple stars at once, focusing too much on one or two at a time.The Bloodline and Judgment Day stables succeeded because every member had a role and story.There's skepticism about WWE's long-term planning, especially with sudden changes due to injuries.Merchandise and branding are a big focus, sometimes at the expense of storytelling.Judgment Day members are likely to become babyfaces soon due to their popularity.Managers are lacking in WWE; bringing back more managers could help talent who struggle with promos.The women's division is giving midcard titles to less experienced but marketable wrestlers.Some matches and segments (e.g., Maxine Dupree vs. Becky Lynch, Jade Cargill's push) are criticized for prioritizing looks over in-ring skill.Ticket and merchandise prices are rising, but many feel the product quality isn't keeping up.Nostalgia acts (like John Cena) are used to boost interest, but there's concern about what comes after.The show's structure sometimes puts the biggest moments at the start, making the rest feel less important.There's debate about past booking decisions, like John Cena's role in the Nexus storyline.New talent like Jevon Evans shows promise, but there's concern about how WWE will develop them.The episode ends with thanks to listeners and promotion for related shows.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wrestling-soup--1425249/support.

The U.S. has stopped printing its most humble currency, the penny. After more than 230 years, the U.S. Mint ended production because it cost nearly four cents to make the one cent coin. And while most of us keep our spare pennies in junk drawers or maybe collecting dust in jars, coin collectors are holding them close. Joining Minnesota Now to talk about the history of the penny and what's next now that it's not printing is Jason Jenkins. He is part of the Red River Valley Coin Club in the Fargo-Moorhead area.

A battle for supremacy with AI over 1970s movie soundtracks.Episode 221 is the appetizer of GenX nostalgia before Thanksgiving week.We start with a rise and fall for the ages. Imagine going from on top of the world to being dropped by your record label in an instant. That is what happened to the pop duo Milli Vanilli 35 years ago this week. In one of the most infamous scandals in music history, a chart-topping group was exposed as frauds and ostracized from the industry. We do a deep dive into the unbelievable but true story of Milli Vanilli.40 years ago this week a new comic strip debuted and changed the way people viewed them. Calvin and Hobbes brought insight and thought-provoking conversations to the typically simple world of newspaper comics. A little boy and his stuffed tiger burst onto the scene, made an immense impact, and then retreated into history, all within the span of a decade. It's a 40th anniversary celebration of the beloved comic strip this week.Me v. AI Top 5 returns with a bang and maybe some funky dance moves.

The now London-based Polish pianist and composer Hania Rani quickly attracted fans with her 2019 album of solo piano works in the post-classical style, a blend of classical lyricism and minimalist patterns. Her later albums expanded to include electronics, and her voice; she is equally versed in the music of composers like Philip Glass and bands like Radiohead. But her new record is something different – a four part piano concerto with orchestra, called Non Fiction, which is a reflection on the human cost of war. The work was recorded at Abbey Road Studios, with a 45-piece orchestra and experimental instrumentalists Rakhi Singh (Manchester Collective), Jack Wylie (Portico Quartet), and percussionist/composer Valentina Magaletti. Hania Rani performs the piano part of the opening movement of the piece Non Fiction, and other original works, in-studio. Set list: 1. Non-Fiction I - Sonore 2. Nostalgia 3. F Major

Send us a textA single question—what's your go-to condiment?—turns into a full-on catch-up that's equal parts cozy, chaotic, and weirdly revealing. We compare ranch loyalty with mustard purists, confess Miracle Whip-on-hot-dog crimes, and admit to breakfast choices that should probably be illegal. Food opens the door to everything else: newborn sleep shifts, basketball season chaos, and the small household rules that spark big laughs, like when Christmas movies are “allowed” to start.From there, we dig into the media that's shaping our season. We debate Hallmark predictability, share comfort rewatches, and talk about how streaming turned choosing into a marathon of scrolling. Nostalgia makes a comeback—VHS tapes, Redbox walls, judging movies and games by cover art—and we admit it still works more often than not. The audiobook tangent hits a nerve: AI narration might be efficient, but it can't replace a human performance that breathes life into the story.If you're hunting for watchlist ideas, we've got plenty. We shout out Game Night for sharp comedy, then pivot into war films that stick with you—Unbroken, 12 Strong, Land of Bad, and the moments in Saving Private Ryan you can't unsee. We admire practical filmmaking too: Top Gun: Maverick's real cockpit footage, Tom Cruise's stunt obsession, and the way authentic risk charges the screen. It's a tour through comfort food, comfort films, and the rituals that make busy seasons feel grounded.Hit play for laughs, confessions, and a stack of movie recs.

The DeLorean's still parked under the blue lights — and in Episode 2 of Shot of Nostalgia: Season 7 – The SmackDown Six Era, we're stepping into the stretch where SmackDown built its identity. Acefield Retro breaks down Blueprint of Greatness, when Paul Heyman's creative direction started to take form. By late 2002, Raw leaned on promos and spectacle, while SmackDown focused on matches that told stories and defined characters. This episode features a watch-along of Edge vs. Eddie Guerrero (No DQ, 9/26/02) — a match that shows exactly how the SmackDown Six style came to life: physical, precise, and built on timing and trust. Also covered: • Angle vs. Mysterio at SummerSlam 2002 — A showcase of what WWE's new in-ring standard could be. • Angle & Benoit vs. Edge & Rey (8/29 SmackDown) — The match that revealed the SmackDown Six chemistry. • Los Guerreros form as a team — Eddie and Chavo add humor, arrogance, and cohesion to the division. • Tag Team Championship Tournament announcement — The moment Heyman's structure became official. By September, SmackDown wasn't trying to compete with Raw — it had its own rhythm, purpose, and storytelling approach. Presented by The Turnbuckle Tavern, where nostalgia meets conversation.

Amye Archer, host of Little Miss Recap, was a guest on a recent paywalled episode of Fixing Famous People talking about soap operas. I was entranced. Amye is a fan of soaps, going way back, and I was very eager to have her as a guest to talk about soaps, the romances within soaps, and some of the overlap between soap fans and romance readers.After we talk about the matrilineal cultural inheritance of soaps and romance, we have a challenge. Amye brought some of her most memorably unhinged story lines from soaps, and I have brought some of my most memorably unhinged story lines from romance, and we're going to swap.Please note that in this section we mention sexual assault, faked deaths, transphobic language and quicksand. During the recommendations, Amye mentions her memoir, which is about weight loss and addiction, so we discuss antifat bias and shame.This is a long one, so we're going to keep you company.Did you have a favorite soap or soaps? Which ones?You can find Amye Archer at her website, AmyeArcher.com.

In this episode, K+L sit down with Victoria Garrick Browne, 2024 Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree and host of Real Pod for a raw conversation on anxiety, ambition, and being human on the internet. They explore what it really looks like to honor your mental health while building a meaningful career. Ahead, Victoria opens up about developing emotional resilience, delegating without guilt, and creating boundaries that actually support her nervous system. The girls share friendship lessons, the discomfort of growth, and why rest is not a reward—it's a relationship we must cultivate. If you've been craving more spaciousness, more softness, or simply less pressure to “handle it all,” this episode will land. You'll walk away with practices to regulate your anxiety, reconnect to your intuition, and redefine success on your own terms. Take a deep breath—let's slow down together. We also talk about: The real impact of anticipatory anxiety + how to find peace in the present moment Why high-achieving women struggle with delegation—and how to finally let go Recognizing when “doing your best” is good enough versus chasing perfection Reframing busyness + embracing spaciousness as a radical act of self-care Lessons learned from athlete mentality: urgency, drive, and when to slow down Navigating changing friendships + the bittersweet reality of growing up Setting boundaries with family, friends, and even your phone for real mental wellness Nostalgia, life transitions, and handling the heartbreak (and beauty) of getting older The secret to filling your own cup without feeling selfish or losing connection Resources: Website: https://www.victoriagarrickbrowne.com/ Instagram: @victoriagarrickbrowne Podcast: https://www.victoriagarrickbrowne.com/podcast Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.

This week! Liv, Candace, and Jeremy take a little detour into sharing some of their scariest and spookiest tales. From petrifying Polaroids to demonic dreams, the Halflings dive into it all. Why are we drawn to nostalgia? What exactly makes us feel nostalgic. Within this conversation, they tackle the big elephant in the room: Harry Potter and J.K. Rowling's disappointing outlook. From plagiarism claims to damaging public statements, they unpack why separating the artist from the art doesn't hold up in this case. This episode is about the grief of losing something that once meant everything, and coming to terms with the fact that the magic didn't simply fade — it was taken. But this isn't the full story!
