Chillin at the Fountain
Hi, we are Steph and Danielle - two thirtysomethings who have been BFFs since middle school. Listen in as we read old Livejournal entries, get real nostalgic and try to avoid being sued.

42 - Thanks for the Fries, MARK
We are recording LIVE from Steph’s living room (which means you can feel free to skip past the first 90 seconds of complete cat shenanigans). Danielle shares her thoughts after finally meeting the Archaeologist and we reminisce about old music that’s held up over the years. We share about a few of our favorite CT spots (besides Dunkin, of course) and ponder the actual flavor of Fruity Pebbles. For entries, Danielle mini-deep dives into the Motorola Rokr, the Athenian Diner and Myspace Top 8. Steph shares some tantalizing Halloween costume drama, humble-brags about not being on a school bus for all of senior year, and a field trip spent trolling original Monets. Also - “what are ya’ll doing if you’re not rating and reviewing us?!” Things we mention: (Podcast)

41 - Dirt + The Past = Archaeology
In the words of Steph after editing this is episode: “it’s a longy!” We start off strong by setting limits around Danielle’s on-air gas passing. We share our co-review of Scamanda and Danielle fills us in on the latest Last Podcast on the Left tea. We naturally segue into the never-ending millennial burden of TOO MANY DAMN OPTIONS/FOMO especially when it comes to parenting styles. For our entries, Danielle’s entry covers the idealism of young love (AKA setting the absolute lowest bars ever) and dating local rock stars. She also shares about a day in her life without her cellphone in 2005. Steph’s 2003 entry takes us down a 12-browser-tab mini Time Capsule/deep-dive into Livejournal: the days when you needed an invite code to join, the LJ commercial, and LJ’s evil twin, deadjournal.

40 - What to Expect When Danielle is Expecting
We are celebrating some life milestones in this one! Steph is preparing to meet the Archa-parents for lunch and Danielle is having a baby (they really just let anyone have those these days). We also recap our Mom ep followed by an extended share of our latest fave shows, podcasts, and books ... all rounded out by a lighthearted discussion of the entire opioid crisis. Danielle also loves on TV commercials and we both lament the recent hike in Netflix (correction: Hulu) pricing. Our entries cover an entire week in the life of 2003 Steph (which includes a school dance, going to see School of Rock, and calling people on their parent’s landlines) and she shares the cringiest thing she’s ever done. Danielle curses the dramatic return of her dad’s inner climate-control freak in 2006 and a Spill Canvas concert (still the opener, even 17 years later).

39 - GORP! with Special Guests: OUR MOMS
We have no idea how we actually made this work, but this week we are SO excited to share out first episode with Barb and Brenda! We find out what they really think of the podcast, discuss their innate detective Mom-skills, and all take turns sharing our favorite "getting caught" teenage stories. We also reminisce about our Girl Scout days (Troup 4569 represent) and try to work out some friendship math (we have been friends for 2/3 of our lives!). Despite our best efforts to keep them on rails, we sometimes devolve into mom-talk about obscure retirement hobbies (snowshoeing anyone?), updates on our childhood friend's moms, and organic vs. non-organic produce. We end with a really nice segment of Mom-pliments and Danielle experiences a moment of healing with Barb.

Welcome to our cold-open where we wonder about time zones, unrealistically matching up our layovers for way too long, and also is Chicago the middle of the country? Steph is drinking a DIY black-coffee frappe which sends Danielle into a tailspin about the Dunkin Donuts Coffee Coolatta, the OG frozen coffee bev. Inspired by our recent RL Stine Time Capsule ep, we watched the Netflix Fear Street Trilogy and finally share our surprising reactions (no spoilers!). We also touch upon the (apparently controversial) new FOB cover of “We Didn’t Start the Fire” and some of our select fave insults we endured in high school. For our entries, Danielle shares about her 20th birthday and a weird, long-forgotten work-around for keeping your MySpace private in the early 00s. Steph shares about choking down hand-rolled cigarettes in an apartment over a motorcycle shop. Things we mention: (2021, Netflix) (YouTube) (New York Times) (Wired) (Nation’s Restaurant News)

37 - CATF Time Capsule: RL Stine & Goosebumps
Special episode recorded on 4th of July!! Fueled by our current summer bevs, we celebrate beach-read season by honoring RL Stine: “the literary training bra” of Stephen King. We start off with how we got our Goosebumps books (Scholastic book fairs anyone?) and Danielle’s review of Fear Street: Party Summer (1991) before diving into a short bio of Mr. Robert Laurence Stine. We talk about G-bumps franchise spin-offs (including which were ghost-written!) like Give Yourself Goosebumps, Tales to Give you Goosebumps and other fun treats like the mid-90s Goosebumps TV series and the Escape from Horrorland game for PC. We jump to the present day and talk about the 2021 Fear Street Trilogy on Netflix and “RL Stine’s Story Club” podcast. We close by talking about the RLSTNE Wheel of Fortune “free letters,” an obvious nod to the world’s hardest working training bra.

36 - Doin' It for the Dads
We recorded this on Father’s Day, but we love dads everyday! We open by adoring our own theme song, naturally. This week is full of nostalgia as we talk about TWO-hit wonder band Fastball, R.L. Stein (AKA the Stephen King of middle schoolers), and fast food commemorative character cups. We also throw in a Radio Rental spoiler and talk about the Black Mirror revival (no spoilers!). Steph’s entry covers her entire weekend in June of 2004, complete with trips to The Space, a parking lot carnival, the “new” Waterbury Wal-Mart, and the Athenian Diner. Danielle talks about Father’s Day ‘06, where she got her dad a very random, very ‘00s beverage. So listen in - and do it for the dads! Things we mention:

35 - Club New England
We are back from Palm Springs, where (full disclosure) we 100% did NOT record in person. We do a quick recap of our trip - including Steph's wild sensory experience at the Integratron. We segue naturally into embracing gray hair, a debate of what actually is New England, and a throwback to the late-90s term "metrosexual." Danielle's 2005 entry reminisces about being on the VIP list for an epic Head Automatic/A Static Lullaby Show and she explains the curious case of a mistaken identity death. Steph's 2004 entry is nearly unrecognizable as she is actually happy (???); she sneaks into a high school chorus concert, gets yelled at in a mall Chili's, and offers an open invite to the public to join her dinner at Friendly's. We end talking about hearing Gen Z slang in the wild and once again humble-brag about how much people love our matching tattoos. P.S. - enjoy the "hard ending."

This episode starts off really exciting with atleast a 5-minute diatribe about what we are currently drinking. We also play with Spotify Pie and talk about our top artists. Both of our entries are from '07 today: In her entry, Danielle celebrates her family *finally* getting DISH Network and Caller ID on their house phone and promotes the "Vote for the Worst" movement to bring down American Idol. Steph reads FOUR entries for her birthday, and we speculate about the aboslutely underrated significance of taking someone on a date to a local country fair.

It's a flea market of an ep this week.... a little bit of everything you never knew you didn't need! We're talking water, UFOs, Lizzo, fertility, and shows we watch but don't like all that much. Also, Steph finds a way to strong-arm the archaeologist into her Brita habits and Danielle once again becomes hot and breathless talking about aliens. Our entries cover even more ground: Steph remembers UConn parties (TW: mention of sexual assault), going on non date-dates with guy friends you're secretly crushing on, and her Evel Knievel-like driving maneuvers (sorry, moms). Danielle's entry touches on romanticized disordered eating, failing chemistry, the "Vote for the Worst" campaign that tried to bring down American Idol in 2007, and her first (recent) experience being completely confused by a new fashion trend.

Danielle tells us about her recent COVID/Paxlovid experience and Steph shares her review of Scream VI (no spoilers!). Our entries dive into Danielle’s 2009 war she decided to rage against Nabisco for their 100-calorie snack packs and Steph laments the end of her Show Choir career (including forfeiture of the coveted pink tassel and 4-year trophy!).

Oh how far we’ve come with syncing up our audio! We start out strong this week by verbally describing a meme and the courtesy of downloading Tik Toks for non-Tik Tok friends. We discover the one single thing that Danielle & The Archaeologist have in common (spoiler alert: it’s aliens). Steph fills us in on her TV-free month hiatus along with how to “edge” yourself on binge-worthy TV. We once again become fixated on The Used for, like, the fourth episode in a row and wonder about the expiration date on words like “techno” and “dope.” Our entries take us back to 2006, where we both “livejournal” (it’s a verb) our nights. Danielle has a couple teenage existential crises and Steph describes her cosmic Kyle connections.

We recorded this during the epic “winter” weather in Socal so we do the old lady thing and talk about the weather - mostly how CA people just don’t “get it.” We go down a brief rabbit hole of CT true crime and naturally transition to the 2000 boy band parody “2ge+her.” For our entries, Danielle reminisces about that one relationship that made her realize she needed to set *some* kind of standards, while Steph’s mom calls her off of work to go prom dress shopping. Also, that one time 20 years ago Steph attended a basketball game.

Our entries dive into all of the nonsense that you’ve come to know and love, like Steph’s first job (spoiler alert: her very first paycheck was $69.71), posers, and our obsession with sequential numbers. Also, Danielle has an egg-cellent story to share! **We are 0 episodes Panera (and alien) free** Things we mention: by Dr. Anna Lembke by Dr. Gabor (Netflix) (you’re welcome)

28 - Oh So Convenient!
Filler ep time!! We took a break this week, but enjoy this bonus ep recorded live back in Oct '22 when Danielle visited Steph in CT. We spent an afternoon going through our "notebooks" which we used to pass notes (and our deepest secrets) back and forth during the school day and decided to hit "record" (luck you!). Listen in to hear our 15-year old ramblings surrounding 9/11, our Wiccan/born again Christian phases, and the emotional rollercoaster of being an early 2000s teen. We re-hash a nothing fight between us, Danielle teaches Steph how to lie to her mother so we can go to the mall, and Steph tries to set boundaries which Danielle immediately disregards. And Steph celebrates turning 13!!! Warning: There is alot of uncontrollable laugh/wheezing but if you can put up with it, these "notes" are definitely nostalgic! Also, we say "gay" in a derogatory way, but please remember we are reading entries from when we were 12-15 years old and we don't support the use of "gay" in such a way now. *~W/B/A/S/A/P, LyLaS~*

We are starting 2023 embracing our age! After a few minutes of warming up and talking about the weather and the Southwest Airlines fiasco of 2022, Danielle tells us about a fascinating article she read in AARP. Steph reminisces about the yesteryears of rock music and the vintage classic, “The Black Parade." Danielle takes us into an “entry-ception” in which her 36-year old self is reflecting on her 28-year-old self reflecting on her 21-year old-self and the first time she decided to quit drinking (spoiler alert: it didn’t stick for another 3 years). We then turn it over to college-era Steph’s collection of random thoughts over the course of a 2-hour audio theory class. We end talking about the ebb and flow of friendship - specifically ours, and give each other (and you, dear listener!) permission to forgive yourself for all the cringe-worthy shit you did 10 years ago. Statute of limitations, babyyy. After-show note: We somehow get on the topic of baby ultrasounds in the 80s and get this: if you were born in the mid-80s, the TECHNOLOGY TO TELL THE SEX OF YOUR BABY DID NOT EXIST. We all just came in hot, surprising everyone. We are shook. Things we mention: “ (Podcast) (Netflix) (Netflix) (Netflix) (Internet Archive) (Danielle's sober blog)

For our entries, we get into the complete normalcy of hours-long (illegal) music downloads, music department drama, and cringe-worthy assertions made by a virgin (you’ll have to listen to see which one of us it was).

We also try to catch up with one another about the random shows and books we try to watch “together” but quickly realize there are two kinds of people in this world: chronological watchers/readers, and Steph. We discuss the latest season of the Unsolved Mysteries re-boot and Steph's upcoming visit to a very important UM-related national landmark.

We also talk about CT’s most eligible bachelor, “Columbiners” (it’s a thing), VHS vs. TiVO vs. DVR, Mapquest and more. Diving into our entries, Danielle is thrilled about a lot of things: finding disc 2 of her House Season 1 DVD set, her mom remembering to record her shows for her, and the “new” Panera opening up down the street. Steph goes on a Halloween joy ride with Greg - through Southington, New Haven, Meriden, the Berlin Turnpike and eventually landing at the Webster Theater - thanks to the lack of a GPS-capable phone (remember those?).

This week, we are kicking ass and taking names, starting with who the HELL tore up Danielle’s mom’s garden. We touch upon the feud between Drake and famed YouTube music critic (and fellow WHS alum!) Anthony Fantano - yeah, we went to high school with that guy. We also agree that Steph’s mom would definitely survive the FL snowbird Purge. The beef continues in our entries: Steph goes on to share about the time she “told off” multiple people in one day and Danielle defends herself against the world’s first known incel who slid into her myspace DMs (looking at you, EriQ). We also re-visit what it meant to be straight-edge, going through different religious identities as a teen, and a New England winter so cold, it forced us to actually pay to get into a VFW show for once.

In her entry, Danielle gets super excited over her new 20-inch TV and launches into a nostalgic journey of CD-R vs. CD-RWs, car CD players with removable faceplates and Lindt chocolates. Steph reads two entries, written literally one minute apart, and takes us on a real-time rollercoaster of teenage emotion, the intensity of young friendship and the origin story of people-pleasing tendencies. There is kind of a fun surprise during Steph’s entry, so let us know what you think!

We will not be reading entries in this episode in solidarity with Aaron, who was one of the many souls who lost their journals to the LJ Purge of 2007 (moment of silence). We start out with a discussion of the West Coast vs. East Coast high school experience - apparently the surfer lifestyle was a real thing beyond just wearing puca shells and Hollister tees? - and a fun connection/throwback from last ep about Trustkill Records. We also cover what we are currently watching and listening to and say a silent prayer that the Lizzbians don’t @ us over Steph’s commentary on her new album. We round it out with the evolution of our favorite computer and videogames in the 90s and beyond, Dungeons and Dragons, and the experience of a pet passing away (we are not sure how we got here either).

We also touch on some of our favorite breakup-revenge memories and have our first "Correspondence Corner" (wait, should we get a PO box?) where Danielle shares a post card that Steph sent her. And, just like every episode, Steph gets heated about William Shatner and Rescue 911. Diving into our entries, Danielle shares a series of cryptic posts from 2005 which apparently changed the course of her entire life. Steph tries to pass off one of Danielle's entries as her own. We end with a typical tone-deaf story of us trolling Wolcott police with absolutely zero repercussions. ....and FINALLY, there is context on our two recent instagram posts (Steph got a little excited and posted them early)!

We only “dig” deeper when Steph shares her latest Archaeologist update (get it?) - totally unrelated of course, we talk about the absolute MINDFUCK of ethical non-monogamy. For our entries, we both tell the story of the same Municipal Stadium fireworks on July 4th, 2004 from two very different perspectives. Steph tells us about the time her VW Cabriolet got stolen and shares details of an epic WWF brawl she was involved in at a house party. Things We Mention/references: DISCLAIMER: We recorded this episode just prior to the overturning of Roe V. Wade, so please forgive any percieved insensitivity. It was completely unintentional and the result of terrible timing; however, decided to leave it in because we felt it was important to shine a light on the naivete of being "anti-abortion."
