Deep dives
A Babysitter's Uncomfortable Tattoo
A listener named Kristen from Denver seeks advice regarding her seven-month-old son. Kristen expresses discomfort over her son's babysitter getting a large tattoo on her back with his name and birthdate, despite having only suggested a small nickname tattoo. The hosts share their opinions, with one expressing concern about the nanny's attachment and potential regret over the tattoo, while the other considers the possibility of giving the nanny the benefit of the doubt if she already has tattoos.
Childhood Crushes and Obsessions
The hosts reminisce about their childhood crushes. One host fondly recalls their obsession with actor Luke Perry and Jennifer Love Hewitt, even sharing an encounter with Jennifer Love Hewitt during her time on the show 'Time of Your Life'. The conversation evolves as they discuss their current views on celebrity crushes and the notion of meeting famous individuals in person.
The Perils of Holding on to Sentimental Objects
The hosts recount their experiences as sentimental hoarders during their younger years, discussing the difficulty of letting go of certain objects. They share anecdotes about peculiar items they held onto, such as a traffic cone and various tattoos. The conversation leads to a discussion about the psychological ties between growing up poor and the tendency to hold onto possessions.
The Weirdness of Crushing on Celebrities
The hosts have a lighthearted conversation about their celebrity crushes, including Jennifer Love Hewitt, Britney Spears, and fictional characters like Ariel from 'The Little Mermaid'. They reflect on the impact of their crushes during their youth and acknowledge the quirks and perceptions associated with celebrity attraction.
On this episode of Not Today, Pal, Rob and Jamie talk about their all-time celebrity crushes and Jamie disapproves of Rob’s story about talking to Jennifer Love-Hewitt on the phone when he was a teenager. In the Sweet & Sour segment, a babysitter has taken things a little too far and is a bit reminiscent of The Hand That Rocks the Cradle. Jamie pulls a pretty wild question from the cup that Tom apparently put in there. We also get another Memory Lane from back when Rob was perhaps having a little too much fun. Enjoy!
