Summary
Friends, this episode of The Bestie Breakdown is going to make you want to squeeze into your old, wide-legged jeans and crop tops, heat up your hot rollers, tweeze your eyebrows (the thinner the better), turn on your Walkman, and pop open a pack up Dunkaroos! Today, Erika and Shay are breaking down...the '90s! Not only are they getting nostalgic with the movies, TV shows and music that shaped the decade (does it get better than '90s country and boy bands?), but also the fashion, sports, toys, and trends! Enjoy a trip to the past as you listen to the Besties share stories of beepers, Beanie Babies, the Macarena, and Lisa Frank. What '90s icon did Shay meet at Disney World? What did Oprah teach Erika? The kids STILL play what game? All of this and more is featured on this week's "bomb" episode! And don't forget our Random Listener Questions in which the Besties talk kids and the dinner table, their irrational fears, and "splurge" items they don't regret!

| 1:30.0 | I'm Erica, and I'm Shay, and we're two bestie moms breaking down topics each week here on our podcast. We cover everything from pop culture to travel, motherhood, organization, fitness, fashion, food, and so much more. We're two best friends just chatting about life, and we're so excited you're here. Oh my gosh, Erica, I'm so excited about the day of the show! This is a fun way to work on the future. I just, you know, some of these episodes, I think like, yeah, that'll be good. |
| 2:00.0 | We're going to start doing, you know, working on our notes. It's like, oh, this is going to be so fun, because it, you know, makes me think back to a lot of fun things. I don't typically think about on a daily basis. So this is for sure one of them. Yes. Okay, tell everybody, what are we breaking down? Okay, today in episode 700, we are breaking down the 90s. I hear in scene, playing in the background right now. Okay, as we were working on this too, this is going to be funny to see it all play out. |
| 2:30.0 | Because that I said happened, you know, in rural country, Missouri, Shay had a completely different experience living in suburban Dallas. So this will be good. This will be real good. |
| 2:42.8 | Erica and I share a, like a Google doc for the bestie break down where we do our Google notes. So Erica had texted me last night, and she said, like, I started the notes, the show notes for the 90s, like in the morning, look at them. So this morning, I pulled them up to, like, go over them and add my content. |
| 3:00.6 | And when I pulled it up, I read some of your thoughts. And I was like, that was not my 90s experience. So then I started, like, adding, like, you know, I was spacing around and adding, and then I get to take some air. |
| 3:11.8 | And she's like, I'm watching you do this. Like you had the document open too. It was so interesting to watch. So this is going to be fun to see it all play out, because we had very different experience. Yes. Right. |
| 3:21.2 | I mean, I, my small town, like, I don't know, how do I say this? It was like, you know, people weren't well. |
| 3:29.7 | Off in my small country town. So a lot of the things that I think we're going to talk about, like, you know, we were people were shopping at like Walmart and, you know, like, there weren't these brands at Walmart. |
| 3:41.7 | So I guess I'd like to stress, though, that my town was not well off either. If anybody would like to look at the socio economic demographics of Irving, Texas saying, yes, it's going to be different. I think for many reason. |
| 3:53.1 | I think we had more opportunities. Yes, for sure. And it was options. We just had more options to work with it. Listen, we're going to get into like, I'm already like, ooh, because I also think like our ages play a little part in all of it too. You know, so. |
| 4:08.1 | Are we diving in? Let's dive into breaking down the 90s. Do you have a game or something? I do have a game. Hold one second. |
| 4:15.1 | It's pulling your game up or she's texting. I can't decide. No, I'm pulling my game up. But I, I thought I had it up here. Hold on one second. |
| 4:22.1 | We're just so sophisticated with how we operate here at the bestie breakdown. We're working off phones and shared Google Doc. I got it. You ready, Shay? Okay. |
| 4:30.1 | What's another name for a beaker? The pager. Okay. Good job. |
| 4:35.1 | Who? Wait, wait. I don't know what that means. She blushed. I feel like she should have read it. |
| 4:43.1 | I feel like maybe it was inappropriate, but I wasn't sure. I can't ask that question. Oh, I feel like you're have to ask me in private. |
| 4:50.1 | Okay. Was this the 90s? Yes. Okay. In 1998, this series of compilation albums of popular music first launched in the US. |
| 5:00.1 | Well, that was a lot of big vocabulary words right there. I never even said I'd just like dove into it. You did. |
| 5:06.1 | We're doing some 90s trivia questions. You know what? I feel like we're on. Listen, you guys, we're going to pause. |
