| 0:00.0 | We're gonna dance like it's 2005. Come on, get up. What a time to feel. Talking nostalgia |
| 0:08.2 | and now, biggest fan in the crowd. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. It's looking to be itch. |
| 0:16.7 | What's up, everybody? Welcome to another episode of Nostalgia in Now with Kelly Williams. This week, we are doing some fun facts. |
| 0:23.1 | I told you guys, I wanted this podcast to be a resource for people. In this episode has some facts that you can just throw around at parties. |
| 0:32.5 | Maybe it will help you during a trivia night. Maybe it won't help you at all and it'll just make you happy, which is also a |
| 0:38.2 | really fun thing. I love bringing happiness and I hope that this episode does that because we are in |
| 0:44.8 | some trying times and if I'm being honest, I cannot stop thinking about Taylor Frankie Paul. I have become |
| 0:50.2 | a woman obsessed. I'm acting like Katie Harron with Regina George. If someone isn't talking |

| 1:29.1 | intros are always so long but we're going to start with the term bling bling so recently i saw |
| 1:35.6 | a tic-tok that said lil wane created the term bling bling and i was like huh that's crazy and i told |
| 1:41.8 | blair and blair's like um i don't know if that's 100% true. |
| 1:45.7 | You should probably look into that. So I guess this episode is also to help people who are falling for tweets the way I have, especially recently. |
| 1:54.1 | But most people think of Lil Wayne when they hear bling, bling, which makes sense. |
| 1:58.4 | He was everywhere in the early 2000s. He was dripping in jewelry. I feel like |
| 2:03.0 | he fully embodied that lifestyle, the phrase describes, but technically he didn't actually create it. |
| 2:09.9 | The term actually blew up from the 1999 song, Bling, Bling, by B.G, featuring Lil Wayne Juvenile |
