I just remember thinking as a child that the experience of adult life would be people in leather jackets coming up to you and being like, do you want to do bad stuff?

Welcome to your run about the show where we look at things that used to be things and say, hey, that's not a thing.

That's a good tagline.

Peak tagline.

You were looking very like I was unsure of your expression. You had a walking Phoenix and teen gladiator kind of a face on there.

It took a second. It hit me.

Yeah, right? Because so many things aren't things.

I am Michael Hobbs. I'm a reporter for The Huffington Post.

I'm Sarah Marshall and I'm a writer for the believer in Buzzfeed and the New Republic, although I publish things very infrequently these days.

Well, so do I. So do we all.

But we do an episode of this show nearly every week, which is really quite often to do anything.

This is the only way my mother knows I'm alive. This is proof of life.

And today we're talking about dare, drug abuse resistance education.

Oh, that's what it stood for. Yes.

Which I remember quite well from my youth.

Do you want to talk about your memories of dare and your experience of resisting drugs?

My experience of dare is kind of looped together with my other memories of drug prevention education when I was in elementary school, which I remember.

We had stuff like people came and told us about their past drug use.

And all of their nightmare drug experiences.

So I remember learning that if you do too much cocaine, you'll end up with a hole through your middle part of your nose.

I remember that. Yes.

Which I thought was very grotesque.
