No One's Listening

Today we dive deep into the world of subscriptions. Where they started and how they became such a big part of our daily lives. From the ubiquitous "Amazon Prime" subscription to the incredibly specific subscriptions like "Box of Goth", we talk about how many subscriptions might be too many and which ones we can't live without. Speaking of subscriptions, are you subscribed to this show? Cause you should. And it's free.

Today we talk AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), the messaging service that took the world by storm in the late 90's & early 2000's. Among the hard-hitting areas we cover include: screen names, the start of chat lingo and whether profile pages & away messages were the precursor to profile pages in the MySpace and then Facebook era. Buckle up for a fun one!

It's a hard world for retail these days. In this episode, we talk and reminisce about our experiences of the growing list of retail stores that have declared bankruptcy. We know it sounds like a depressing topic, but we did our best to make it fun.

Today we dedicate one of our longest episodes yet to snacks from our childhood. We talk about snacks from the 90's and which ones still hold a place in our heart. We also ask, what happened to Dunkaroo's?

What's in a name? Does it affect your outcome or what you decide to be? That is what we discuss.

Tune in as we talk about deepfakes and whether or not this is the final nail in the coffin for being able to trust anything. It's a light-hearted episode.

How do we know if the life we are living is real or just an elaborate simulation? That's what we are talking this week!

In further evidence that we are running out of things to talk about, today we are talking running! Specifically the Nike Run Club app. Side note, the episode went so off the rails that we had to edit the audio. That might be a first in NOL history.

Yet another week where we focus on the impact of the Coronavirus, this time on the world of sports. We ask questions like "how is anybody interested in this?" and "when did we get so old?". We also talk about our memories for our video game golden years and how Tyler was the worst person to play against.

Today we talk about the show you've never heard of...wait, no, it's the only thing people are talking about other than Coronavirus, but we figured we would share our thoughts on it. Central to the episode is who is the show's biggest villain...answer, all of them.
