Holy schnikers, that name just unlocked something in my brain that me as a survivor of the late 90s/early 2000s diet culture was not ready for on this Sunday. Here we go!

President of the Fishbein Fan Club

It’s the twinkle in your eye (as my grandma used to say). The “I’m up to no good” 😉 look. Anna Nicole rocked it. Sydney Sweeney looks dead behind her eyes. Soulless.

Ngl I bought the Hello Kitty x Yu-Gi-Oh McDonald's toys on ebay. They got my ass too. No regrets.

Autistic Goblin

... Why is the secret YouTube video time stamped 7 days ago? Am I being gaslit?

Deafleader

So uh… it sounds like we need a playboy ep

Stuck in Koala Kanyan

New Jersey loves you too, you "am I rural or am I city folk" weirdos. Now get out of the left lane

Dean Denton

Your pokemon knowledge is weak. Pichu evolves into Pikachu, who evolves into Raichu. All kidding aside, I appreciate the metaphor

Deafleader

Alex it doesn’t matter if you remember cuz you already said them backwards 😂😂😂

Hey-hey it’s Wah-say

To be clear, the Pokemon community is here. Apology accepted lol 😆

AugieLovesPenny

My dad’s favorite thing to say about SlimFast was always, “yeah, it’s pretty good if you blend it with a pint of Blue Bell.”

Lovexash

Let’s not forget about the 00’s opioid crisis. You could go to your doctor and get opioids.

Hypnotists are definitely hacks. When I graduated high school, there was a hypnotist at the post-graduation party the school held. And I volunteered to be hypnotized. It didn’t work but I acted as if it did and sold the performance to the point my friends bought it. I was raised in a conservative Christian church, but by my senior year of high school was starting to break out of it and hang out less with my uber-religious friends though I still remained in contact with them. I failed to consider that my best friend from that circle was in the audience of that hypnotist show. She had a panic attack about me being possessed by satan, and tattled on me to my mother that “Ellie was opening up herself to demonic possession” [at the SCHOOL SPONSORED graduation party, mind you]. So, needless to say the next day I was in hot water with my mother. (I can’t remember my dad saying anything). For something that I insisted didn’t even work. She said it didn’t matter.

Cho-Sen

Pichu Pikachu raichu agreed

Amber Sanchez

All my neighbors heard was me yelling “Pure Moods! Return to Innocence! Why can’t you hear me????”

HereForTheJillSteinBeef

Bimbo!!! Pronounced “beem-bo” and owner of the local Stroehmann bread brand. Once again Mrs P brought it back to PA!

Dick_Cheney_Is_Dead

My Aunt from Philly definitely quit smoking from hypnosis, now I need to know if it was Goan or the guy Alex saw!!

gummysquee

Dakotas out here taking fire for like no reason! (Look, look, I only complain about the Newark Airport, and you gotta know thats valid, right? RIGHT? I got no smoke with the rest of Jersey)

Weird Chaos

Best part of the day, listening to this while I have a case of the Mondays, working outside, while its over 100 out😓😅

happylauf

Ngl, this is the thing keeping me going today. Thanks, Pearlfam.

AYAZUKI Yugi (綾月 遊戯)

The cheers bar stuff reminds me of thr Goonies House in Astoria Oregon and how actual people lived there for a while and did not like people going there just to do Goonies shit like the Truffle Shuffle.

AYAZUKI Yugi (綾月 遊戯)

And the Pokémon ref was Missing Pichu, the baby form of Pikachu. Pichu = Ephedra, Pikachu = Ephredrine, Raichu = Methamphetamine.

Did Mrs. P just hit us with a My Girl reference? My Millennial Trauma is devastated 🤓😦😭🐝🐝🐝

Fallendancer

As a girl from Chicago, it was in absolute SHOCK to be told I had to try Altoona’s “pizza” cause it was so good by my coworkers. I agree. That is NOT pizza.

TwrexxSmash

Gnc was the place you could also buy the good pee cleaner for passing drug tests.

Louis Stubbs

That's fair, but there is only 3 "cities" within an hour drive of me, and Alex fired shots at 2 of them in this episode. Now in all fairness, Altoona style pizza should be a crime, and if you know anything about the history of fraternities around Penn State Main Campus, a cocaine ring is not really surprising.

Beep boop

Mrs. P, important question: does ALL lemonade hurt your tumtum? Store bought lemonade hurts my tum but I love homemade lemonade!

Mad Mads Kasperagus

Going with mega raichu would have worked. But it's charmander, Charmeleon and then Charizard

✨Hot Marta✨

…..but can we have a Anna-Nicole Smith ep please? 🥺

Shakirah Bey

Good LORT how did we survive this Era? I unfortunately was a victim of the Hydroxycut and Slim-Fast meal plan for a short while. The side effects: about the same as cyclosporiasis.

Jslayyyer

The diet culture flashbacks are wild. Thank you for illuminating just how insane it was. Would love more diet culture deep dives with Mrs. P.

LiztheLionLover

I spy... haha! We'll have to go together!!

rissa_rainbows

The crack of the Slimfast can! Yaaaaasssss! Why were those cans so THICC?! The mocha flavored Slimfast helped me acquire a taste for coffee when I was way too young. #WeSurvivedEarly2000sDietCulture

Short_Range_Attack_Chicken

Something struck me hard this stuff was around on the 90‘s called mini thins!! It took them until 2004 for FDA to ban this crap . Btw you can still get them now..Rinse, wash and repeat… 😖 Many of my generation were absolutely effected by toxic skinny trends and it all started with the model Twiggy from 1965-1970 ( she was naturally really skinny and wasn’t something she was forced into in fact when she was school aged she was teased for how skinny she was.) Her popularity is what kicked off these awful diet trends and had a snowball effect from the 70‘s to 2000‘s.

Overeasylikeyourmom

Look, forget about Crashing Out (not really, still love it tho) but when are the Pearlmaniacs are going to get a tour? Buffalonian here wanting a live show

Mama_of_Unhinged_Chihuahuas

I should not be surprised at all that Mrs. P is an Anna Nicole Smith fan (good taste, obviously). But so glad for the kind words about this incredible human who left us way too soon!

That_Wokelahoman_Teacher

Herbalist/plant sciences nerd here! Lobelia + Kava is CRAZY! Both can cause hepatotoxicity when used chronically or outside of their therapeutic windows. Adding Kola leaf exacerbates that risk as well. Basically liver killer in a pill!

Abbazabba_youse_my_only_friend

You mentioned GNC and I immediately thought muscle man, too tight shirt, slicked back hair and tan... Jersey Shore cast member wannabes

Abbazabba_youse_my_only_friend

I miss ephedra, the Yellow Jackets were the ONLY thing that kept me awake on my drives home from college

Sergio50mm

Listen, BIMBO is a Mexican package bread brand, kind of like Wonder. The brand is a mix of two words “Bingo” and “Bambi” (don't ask). Knowing what it means in English as a Mexican and having Mrs. P repeated it over and over again, bended me laughing for half an hour straight!!! Hahahaha gold.
