My husband said when he was younger that he thought kids that had Dunkaroos were rich. He’d say “they got that Dunkaroo money!!”🤣
right!? we never had them. 😂
Same here. If you got those or lunch shoes then you had money.
Thank you for producing a fun and relatable financial podcast. Although I've been a subscriber to Dave for years, I recently decided to take my future and finances seriously and started watching him again. I got introduced to you and as a fellow 30-something year old, I'm hooked! Never stop. You make money managing fun!
The device Rachel was tlkaing about as her best gift ever as a 90's kid was a Talkboy. The one Kevin had in Home Alone was a Talkboy and the pink one was a Talkgirl.
Worth it to see Rachel fail at beatboxing because of the laugh-wheezing
Ok yall are still babies in my book!
We would go to radio shack and play games in the mall while mom got groceries. Loved the 90s and early 2000’s.
This episode has earned a Subscribe and Like. Y'all are great. This is so good. Very funny and informative.
We still got Toys r Us up in Canada
Great show loved it x
Rachel is my soul sister. Hey soul sister! '86 baby here.
An alternating title would be.. growing up rich versus growing up poor haha 😭😂
If “Sunshine” ceilings make a comeback… I’m out!
What a fantastic episode! ❤
I been rebuilding my Nintendo collection some of those games are super expensive now
I have an original Gameboy somewhere in my house
Sports authority went out of business about 5-6 years ago?
I can sell the "stuff" my kids didn't want & I stored !! Yeah😊
RIP Zany Brainy 😞
I have a ton of rare pokemon cards but they're not graded
I was 12 in ‘89 and 13 in ‘88. I was in junior high and a freshmen (9th grade) in 88 and 89.
i still have iphone 10 😂
11 here! I had the 6+ before this one 😂
I bet coffee K-cups will soon be irrelevant, of which my life is totally dependent on! :/
You guys are more millennials kids than 90s kids. Usually what determine which generation you belong to is which decade you lived through during your teen years. You guys were kids in the 90s but teenagers in the early 2000s
Unrelated by why does Rachel dress like she’s in her 40’s???
I had Polly pockets the whole collection and just recently sold for $350. I was shocked!
The answering machine rap was everything. 😂 😂
I recently started watching Little House on the Prairie with my 7 year old daughter and we are both LOVING IT! It was a little before my childhood, but I'm loving seeing simpler times and such strong family messages in the episodes!
My kids are watching the entire 9 season episode series of Little House on the Prairie. They're already on season 9. Just be warned, there's episodes you will want to pre-screen before your 7 year old watches them. Specifically the episodes titled "Sylvia," "Rage," and "Home Again" deal with very hard and downright inappropriate topics. There are others that are rough, too. Prescreen most of the 2 part episodes. They are often the ones with the harder topics. But sometimes the single episodes are rough too. Overall, it's a great series. Just watch with caution.
Best episode ever!!! 😂 I’m an ‘87 baby and I just took a trip back to my childhood…. Especially tomogotchi, Olsen twins, Sega, zig zag hair parts and and butterfly clips! My most wanted Christmas present ever was the life-sized Susie stretch doll that attaches to your hands and feet and the lite brite 😅 and let’s not forget Lisa Frank!
I worry my kids won’t have the same childhood memories like us…. They’ll just remember technology/screens!
Sorry, but I read that as you saying you were 87! 😂 I actually got married in 1987 and for me to hear myself say it now, I sound ancient!
Same!! Loved Lisa frank and the tamagotchi!!!
The Easy Bake Oven would have to be my favorite 90s Christmas gift.
And from the 70’s as well!!
Falling on the floor laughing when George seems surprised at being called vintage. I was born in 1960, turning 63 this year...same age as Dave. Imagine how old I feel. At this point, I'm closer to being antique. Used to work in tech innovation and I predict the demise of TV monitors. Images will just be projected onto any flat surface or a thin rollable HD screen you can take anywhere.
if you were a car you are an antique
Oh my goodness, best episode! I was born in 1990 and I remember ALL of it!! 😍
Dude you weren’t kidding- the NOSTALGIA!!!!!
I was born in 1988 like Rachel, so i totally relate to this! I was a nickelodeon kid for sure. I was obsessed the Olsen Twins. Its crazy how nostalgic our generation is, more than any other generation i think.
This podcast is so hilarious 😂
The nostalgia is hitting the adults who couldn't afford it as kids, and now sucking them in now that they have disposable income to buy it.
Delia’s had stores??! I still have copies of those catalogues saved in my little y2k Time Capsule :)
The hack on Blockbuster was to rent it on Thursday before the rush.
This is the norm. As young people start to hit middle age and start having kids they become fascinated with their youth. It’s always a 20 year gap. The 70’s was fascinated with the 50’s and so on and so on
I'm with you George, COMP USA!
Born in 1970... It was a great time! So many cool things- but Star Wars hit me as a 7 year old young boy and made a life long impact! I graduated high school in 1989... I'm a proud Gen X baby! Keep up the great work y'all- love this show and I'm so happy y'all have it on video!!!
May the 4th be with you!
👊 yeah for the 70s
I will forever be indebted to you you've changed my whole life continue to preach about your name for the world to hear you've saved me from a huge financial debt with just little investment, thanks so much Mrs. Bonnie Antelo
l also invest with mrs Bonnie Antelo, she charges a 20% commission on the profit made after each trading session, which is fair compared to the effort she put in to make huge profits.
My first investment in mrs. Bonnie Antelo gave me the confidence that led me to invest without fear of loss. I have already taken 3 of my friends to their guide and they are fine.
You can communicate with her by telegrm with the username below..
INVESTWITHANTELO💯
I have traded with many individuals but I have never met anyone as good as Mrs. Bonnie Antelo, just by applying her strategies I now trade independently. she is the best i would advise any investment newbie to trade with her
The most 90s memory I have was my friend and I singing Lion King songs into her Talkboy 😂
OMG! I wore JNCOS!!!! Bahahaha This is my favorite episode ever! lol
Making mixtapes off the radio, rich kids had soda pop in their fridge. High fructose corn syrup and cheap soda ($1 per liter-2liter didn’t exist) didn’t come til later. Brooke Shields and Calvin Klein jeans.
My 11 year old is SO INTO THIS! She loves y'all! I live in Texas and she wants to go to a live event in Nashville!!
Sometimes when you add to cart and let it sit for a day or 3, the company will send you a reminder email and sometimes a % off discount for the in cart item.
Blockbuster died because they didn’t innovate, ironically the creators of Netflix pitched their idea to Blockbuster and the company turned them down before Netflix was founded and put Blockbuster out of business.
Toys R Us was bought by a venture capital firm that was able to mortgage Toys R Us as collateral for the purchase, stole all the profits from the company and when bonds came due, allowed to company to go bankrupt. Vulture capitalism at its worst. The company that bought them never put up a penny of their own money and walked away with hundreds of millions in profits with absolutely no risk to themselves when the company went bankrupt.
Netfilx DVD is still around, but sadly, not for long. After our local Blockbuster store went the way of the dinosaur a few years back, I've been getting that iconic red envelope in the mail. But, a few months ago I received an email from Netflix stating that the last DVDs will be shipped out the end of September.
‘87 baby here: this totally brought me back in time! Loved this episode - I think I had a goofy smile plastered on my face the whole time I was listening. 😂 Well done!
By far!! My favorite episode! Thank you for taking me back to my childhood! I’m an “older” millennial who was born in ‘84. I haven’t missed an episode yet!
Come on George! Rachel was about to tell us which American Girl doll she had, and you interrupted and now I will never know!!!
If you want to step into the 90s just walk into a Kmart ….. if you can still find any. Up until last year I would go and feel like a kid again. Lol. I wonder if they’re officially all gone now.
I had glow in the dark stars…also Salute Your Shorts on Nickelodeon, I also had my own line, also what about Fresh Prince…
My kid watched Matilda last night and loved it 👏👏
George I am so excited to hear that you watched you’ve got mail! That is my favorite movie and I named my dog Brinkley after Joe Fox’s dog
Guys you can have a sleepover lock in at the blockbuster.....it could be worth a road trip lol
Just bought a shirt with my favorite G.I. Joe characters; no regrets…
If you can catch Rachel with a laughing spit-take, -- that would go viral. 🤣
It's not Blockbuster, but we still have an active Drive-In Theater nearby. Drive the car into the lot and watch a couple movies. Good memories.
You need to come visit Canada, we still have Toys R Us here! =)
Oh my gosh! I was born in '83, I have a level of nostalgia about the 90's that is truly disgusting. If I could go back to live in any decade (the age I am now) it would 1000% be the 90's. I watched every single one of those TGIF shows too! Oh my gosh! This episode reeeally took me back! I feel like the 90's had the perfect amount of everything, and there was a simplicity to things that we definitely don't have now. Gosh, don't I love it. Also, Jonathan Taylor Thomas was also my teen/90's crush!!!! And Stawberries was my very favorite music store!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
In the case of toys r us, they got bought out by an investment group that sold all their most valuable assets, took out huge loans, and left it an indebted husk. It was basically legalized fraud and corporate homicide.
Favorite 90's gift- bean bag chair.
Lava lamps and beads were hippie in the 90s and the 80s and the 70s
Love y'all 🎉😅
I was born in 2001, but I remember the finger skateboards because all my friends and I were obsessed with them, and my sister and I both absolutely LOVED the popcorn shirts. I also remember when we would go to blockbuster, but then we stopped going after Netflix started being able to just ship a movie disc or show disc to our house lol. And I have the original Molly American girl doll. I remember as a kid when I first discovered the books at the library and then my parents bought my Molly for Christmas 🥹❤️
Furby!!!! Solid 90's memory haha 🤣💀
This was your best video yet! Lol so entertaining!
I had a friend who’s answering machine said something and ended with “leave a message after the beep-ba-beep b-b-b-beep” 😂😎
I was told recently I'm very old because I was born last century (1980's).
Geez, guys! This Boomer just graduated from a DVD player to a Blu-Ray, lol! However, I got the upgraded version that you can stream through. 😊
And beaded doorways and lava lamps were around in the 70s! I do have a lava lamp today, and I still see beaded curtains for doorways for sale.
our local movie rental place went out of business in 2022. we were one of the hand full of people still going there. i love renting movie especially at christmas time. the blockbuster building turned into a call center but still has the blue. 😢 sad times.
Great episode! You both made me laugh so hard. I think the two of you should come up with a Happy Hour rap (that would be hysterical)! I wonder if the increase in bankruptcies and decrease in savings was because of the beginning of overspending...Just wondering...
Lava Lamps and beads = original 1970s
Oh I love this episode. The 90s were the best. Rachel rapping was too much 😂
1987…. Sabrina the teenage witch is on Hulu and I’ve had a blast rewatching it lol 😂
I saw white Dr. Martens at the shoe store while we were back to school shopping, and I almost fainted. Those were the ultimate footwear in middle school!!!
My son asked for a tech deck for Christmas this past year, so I guess they’re back in! Lol, loved the 80’s (born in 79)
With Netflix shutting down their DVD service I will definitely go rent movies from blockbuster
I was excited to find a 90s black and teal gym bag in my in laws closet. It is my go to travel bag.
As a mom of kids born in 1994 and 1997, I loved this episode! Thanks for the memories. I love you two individually and together.
I was born in the 90s & now I resell 90s clothing (a lot of things from my childhood home & my relatives!)…can confirm. People will pay TOP dollar for a shirt that sold for $15 back then.
I love that they can find something that brings them a sense of calm. I personally believe it’s back in such a big way because that’s when things were so easy for us! Nostalgia is calming 😊
Love this episode!! You guys are great ❤
We check DVD's out for free at the library. Blockbuster used to cost like $4 for a new release!
Rachel, you are such a shining star! 😂😂 When you're having a good laugh, it's so hilarious and adorable to see!! 😃😃😃 Makes me laugh
1984 here! This episode was hilarious and fantastic! 🤣
I really like this show. I make a point of watching every week. However I have to say although Lava Lamps seem nostalgic for the 90's, I actually vaguely remember lava lamps in the 70's.🤣
Best Episode EVER! So fun to take a road trip down amnesia lane. Loved the part about browsing Blockbuster. Makes me wonder if the lack of physical browsing in stores these days leads to mental health issues, because everything is so available all the time and there is no need to be curious about what you MIGHT find through browsing.
I was born in 1991. My daughter said: "Is that the year mom settled for you?" I laughed but my wife was kind of silent 😬
Love this podcast
How could yinz forget to mention Goosebumps the books and TV series and Animorphs!?!?
I absolutely agree that we have lost something with the instant gratification that streaming everything provides. Kids today aren't learning patience and what it's like to wait for and perhaps earn something. I feel so old listening to talk about this. I was a beta tester for Netflix when they first started sending DVD's in the late 90's. I was living in Silicon Valley and a former colleague was working there. Redbox is used heavily here in Maine by people who don't have home internet and cable, or people like my brother who has kids and doesn't bring his own streaming devices when they come to visit my parents who don't have them.
On my first cell phone, I sang my voicemail intro to the tune of Beauty and the Beast. 🎶
This is the phone of Rebekah (last name).
I cannot come to the phone right now.
So please keave a message.
And I'll get back to you.
So dont be shy and leave a message now.
The beads, the lava lamp, the inflatable furniture. Ah yes! And those butterfly clips.....❤😂
The rachel rapping message was hilarious!!! And I'm George, team backstreet boys all the way!! Went and saw them in concert back in 2019 to live out my 11 year old dreams as a 30 year old. The boys still got it!! 😂😂
They were super poor back then and Dave was starting to build his wealth back up, so how'd they afford all that cool stuff?
Does Rachel use daycare for her three kids? In Michigan daycare costs $1,200 per month per child.....How does ANYONE afford daycare for three kids so they can work?
Me and my brother invented finger boards with hot wheels cars and popsicle sticks before they came out in public. We coulda been rich. LOL
I'm from the hippy generation, but my younger kids loved the malls (& all the early tec stuff). I think it's great the '90's are coming back ..
My teen loves the Sabrina the Teenage Witch tv series and movies. We love Salem. I am 10 years older than Rachel. I am an 80s kid, but a 90s teen. I grew up with both. So I usually get all the references. Alot of it is coming back. We have butterfly clips in our bathroom drawer.
I still use Redbox 😂. I still have a DVD player because I prefer DVD to digital (you can actually own DVDs instead of just having access to a movie). It's so much cheaper to rent this way.
