The day this episode is published marks what would be the 40th birthday of Steph's late sister, Melissa. Lance Bass's number one fan, probably the reason that both of us are as into a lot of the music we're into. She was the cool older sister/friend. We took a little stroll down memory lane and discussed some of our favorite Melissa moments- mostly pop related. It's all relevant, promise! 

LOL not this year, though no offense to current MTV... we're talking about the 2000 Video Music Awards. 100 Eminem Clones, Britney Spears' striptease, Christina Aguilera and Fred Durst, *NSYNC winning 3 moon men? and that performance, girl! How did Nelly dance like that with his pants so low? Is Hip Hop REALLY the origin of all music? Tune in to hear our thoughts!

Do you love JC Chasez as much as we do? We hope so! It's undeniable that JC Chasez was the best singer in *NSYNC, and possibly the entirety of pop music back in the day... he turns 44 on Saturday, August 8, so we felt strongly that we needed to celebrate that. So strongly, in fact, that we invited two of the members of MISSION *NSYNC to join us in our JC revelry! Please enjoy our conversation and go give Mission *NSYNC some love!

So, I know what you're thinking, is this a Noxema commercial or what? We're TOTALLY BUGGIN! Can you believe it's been 25 years since a group of Beverly Hills teens taught us about fashion, amazing new slang, (as if!) and introduced us to the ageless Paul Rudd? This week we're talking all about Clueless, one of the best teen films of all time. Amy Heckerling, you're a genius and without you, our teen years would have been a little less exciting.

 This episode was originally supposed to air last week, but we felt it was important to participate in the Podcast Blackout.  It was recorded earlier though - so the news is a little bit outdated, sorry. This week we went through our personal favorite music videos from the year 2000. The year was good for music videos, that's for sure. Favorites include: Eminem, Blink 182, Britney, BSB, *NSYNC, Jennifer Lopez and more.

Stefanie and Stephanie have known each other since 1996. We've been through a LOT of things together, including the 90's pop phenomenon. We love them all. Especially *NSYNC and we want to share that love with you, girl. (boyband song style). We saw it all. We loved it all and we're feeling nostalgic. So join us! We'd love to have you!
