Beskrivelse

This week we're taking a trip back to childhood... and realizing it was way creepier than we remembered. From strange TV shows that we probably had no business watching, to toys that seemed a little too alive, we're talking about all the things that gave us the creeps growing up. We dive into tv shows and movies that we were WAY to young to watch, but no one seemed to care! And they toys.. furry, tickle me Elmo, and owning the entire collection of goosebumps books at the mere age of like 10. We also reminisce about childhood places that felt a little off. If you ever got nervous when a toy started talking by itself, stayed up all night after watching a spooky episode, or felt like the animatronics were staring directly into your soul, this episode is for you. Come relive the weird, creepy, and surprisingly unsettling side of growing up in the '90s and early 2000s.

Episode #152- Porch Talk NUMBER 30

Porch Talk is back and this one spirals beautifully. Do you ever have the problem when every terrible thing seems to happen all at once?? WE DO! Then we get into the school system, how technology is making kids less independent instead of smarter, and why it feels like common sense is slowly leaving the world. Wrapping the episode up with a true crime story that is genuinely awful. It’s chaotic, opinionated, slightly existential, and always all over the place.

Episode #150- Common Decency Things That Were Once Normal

This week we’re diving into all the things society changed without us even knowing. From the days of whispering on a cellphone in public like you were handling government secrets… to now hearing someone’s full FaceTime breakup in the cereal aisle. We’re talking about the weird shift in what used to be considered rude, normal, embarrassing, or completely unacceptable. From feral restaurant kids and people blasting videos at full volume, to having full conversations via bluetooth very loudly in the grocery store parking lot, and the slow death of public shame… when exactly did everything change? Pull up a chair while we spiral through modern behavior, old social rules, and the little things that make us all internally scream in public.
