About this listen

Ever wondered what life was really like in 1990? From historical milestones to personal anecdotes, this episode is packed with nostalgia and fascinating facts. We kick off by reminiscing about President Bush signing the Americans with Disabilities Act, the launch of Operation Desert Shield, and the deployment of the Hubble Space Telescope. Remember "The Simpsons" and "Seinfeld" debuting? We relive those moments, plus we throw in a fun quiz about the top five TV shows of the year, including the legendary "60 Minutes."

Gas prices were a rollercoaster back in 1990, just like today. We share some hilarious personal stories about our gas station preferences and travel habits from the good old days. From long-term marriages to unexpected career paths, we reflect on how our youthful dreams have evolved over time. And let’s not forget those home repair mishaps that seemed like a big deal then but are laughable now. Through all the humor and lighthearted banter, we celebrate the unpredictable journeys that shape our adult lives.

Personal growth is never a straight path, and sometimes the communities we seek don’t meet our needs. We talk about finding strength within ourselves, the importance of seeking help, and how small, consistent steps can lead to significant changes. The conversation shifts to the late '80s and early '90s music and media that defined a generation. We wrap things up with a quirky chat about pagers, the evolution of communication, and nostalgic MTV moments. Get ready for a heartfelt trip down memory lane, and stay tuned as we plan to revisit the 90s in future episodes!
