Episode 185 helps March roar in with a blast of nostalgia, from '90s party vibes to long-lost professions!
🎬 House Party Turns 35! – One of the best teen comedies of the ‘90s is officially middle-aged. We’re throwing it back to Kid ‘n Play, Martin Lawrence, Tisha Campbell, legendary dance moves, and quotable lines. Plus, I’ll share a personal house party story that could’ve been its own movie.
🥖 Poppin’ Fresh: The Doughboy & His Lost Restaurant – He’s been giggling his way through Pillsbury ads for 60+ years, but did you know Poppin’ Fresh once had his own restaurant? We uncover the surprising history of Poppin’ Fresh Pies—and what happened to it.
🛠️ Jobs That Time Forgot – Ever applied to be a lector? A scissors grinder? No? That’s because these jobs disappeared long ago. This week’s Top 5 spotlights careers from a century ago that no longer exist—some of which were way cooler than they sound.
