Travis and Danny are joined by returning guest Brett Henry for a nostalgia-heavy episode built around the weird, funny, and very specific things that shaped them growing up in the 80s and 90s. Brett’s return also turns into a long stretch of stories about North Dakota school buses, old-school pranks, Pizza Hut memories, and the everyday objects and routines that have disappeared over time.
Brett, Travis, and Danny compare notes on everything from The Wire and rural school life to their top 5 things to bring back from childhood which includes things like 90s hip hop, dirt cake, Trapper Keepers, toys in cereal boxes and plenty more!
