Still Buffering: How to Nickelodeon So, Sydnee gets a monthly box full of Nickelodeon merch from all the old, classic cartoons, and we figured that's something we can talk about, right?

Still Buffering: How to Commercials 06/08/2019

Still Buffering: How to Commercials Okay, we have some serious opinions about commercials of the 90s, but who doesn't? They were all kinda the same, we all still remember ALL of them, and most importantly, we can't figure out what happened to them?

Still Buffering: How to Internet 06/01/2019

Still Buffering: How to Internet We realized in the entire 3+ years of this show that we had NEVER dedicated an entire episode to the entity that is ~the internet~. So we're going deep to examine all those differences between the world pre and post internet, and why did we all take the same typing courses??
