Friends, this episode of The Bestie Breakdown is going to make you want to squeeze into your old, wide-legged jeans and crop tops, heat up your hot rollers, tweeze your eyebrows (the thinner the better), turn on your Walkman, and pop open a pack up Dunkaroos! Today, Erika and Shay are breaking down...the '90s! Not only are they getting nostalgic with the movies, TV shows and music that shaped the decade (does it get better than '90s country and boy bands?), but also the fashion, sports, toys, and trends! Enjoy a trip to the past as you listen to the Besties share stories of beepers, Beanie Babies, the Macarena, and Lisa Frank. What '90s icon did Shay meet at Disney World? What did Oprah teach Erika? The kids STILL play what game? All of this and more is featured on this week's "bomb" episode! And don't forget our Random Listener Questions in which the Besties talk kids and the dinner table, their irrational fears, and "splurge" items they don't regret!

The spooky season is upon us and the Besties are feeling festive! This week, we are breaking down HALLOWEEN!! This episode is fun, light and full Halloween stories, traditions and memories! Shay and Erika are chatting about favorite costumes, candy, movies, music, food, preparation, and so much more! That time Erika was a plastic Barbie? A debate over “chunking” things? “This or That” candy edition? It is all right here!! And of course, Random Reader Questions in which the Besties talk all about traveling for the holidays, their sleep numbers, and Shay’s new Hydrow rowing machine!
We recorded this podcast BEFORE we decided to push back the date of the book club per listener requests! We will be chatting all about The Girls in the Stilt House on 11/09!!!
