Totally 90's Podcast

Send us a Text Message. The new year is upon us and we reflect on the most popular New Years resolution... Fitness and health! For as long as we can remember, that has always been a trend. The 90's really made an impact on society with exercise infomercials, celebrity excercise tapes and things like the thigh master and the ab roller! We all were suckers for those late night sweat into the oldies testimonials. Admit it, heck! we were!! Come laugh with us as we talk about our own personal journeys with this topic.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Canadian couple Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka, A.K.A. Ken and Barbie, committed a series of brutal killings that shook the nation to its core. In this episode, we explore some of the disturbing details of the case, including the controversial investigation and prosecution, the ridiculous plea agreement also known as the Deal with the Devil, and learn a little more about who exactly Ken and Barbie were. **Trigger Warnings: graphic descriptions of sexual violence, rape, drugging, kidnapping, pedophilia, physical violence, and murder.

Send us a Text Message. We have officially concluded Season 1 of the Totally 90's Podcast! We will be taking a break for the summer and will be back in the fall. In the meantime, we will be re-releasing our favorite episodes every Wednesday and our favorite Crime talk episodes every other Friday! Until then have a great summer and we will be back in September with more 90's nostalgia! _______________________ When you think of the 90's what is one of the first things that come to mind? For us one of the first things, will ALWAYS be Alternative rock music. Bands like Stone Temple Pilots, Sound garden, Matchbox 20, LIVE and Green day... (Just to name a few) had a big part in who we are today and defined our friendship in many ways. Needless to say, alternative music ran deep in our veins and we enjoyed reminiscing about some of our favorite bands to date. Lets see if you can relate to our favs this time around... This is definitely a two parter... Stay tuned for the next episode. We hope you enjoy it!!

Send us a Text Message. Today we go back to an oldie but a goodie! Enjoy!!! Back in the day I am sure a lot of us found commercials a nuisance. BUT!!! When we look back and reflect on how brilliant marketing was back in the 90's, there's no denying how genius these companies were that created jingles and slogans that are still to this day etched in our brains. When you hear the words, Mentos, Folgers, Chi Chi Chi Chia, you can't help but sing that catchy little tune we would hear a million times a day during our youth. That's what made commercials so unique and honestly in a lot of ways a thing of the past. Press play and see if we name some of your favorite commercials.

Send us a Text Message. On today's episode of Crime Talk with Stef, I wanted to continue exploring and discussing cases related to cyberstalking, catfishing, and other internet-related crimes because unfortunately there are countless cases involving the dark web. Today, we talk about the tragic murder of a young man with a bright future ahead of him, whose life was cut short far too soon. His name was Jason Rodriguez from Tampa, Florida. Jason was lured to his murder by a person pretending to be a girl he was chatting with online. His murder serves as a reminder to be cautious about who you interact with online, as people may not always be who they claim to be. A trigger warning for listeners: this episode will include mentions of murder by shooting and details about the injuries sustained. Listener discretion is advised.

Send us a Text Message. The 90's had the best of everything. One thing that will never get old is the music. 90's slow jams had it all, romance, sexiness and lyrics that made us melt! Whether it be Jodeci, Tevin Campbell, 112 or Mariah Carey..the 90's brought the jams. Come with us as we reminisce about the songs that made us weak back then and still do.

Send us a Text Message. Remember how excited we were when the internet first hit the scene, particularly chat rooms? We'd come home from school, power up our computers, eagerly anticipating the familiar sound of the AOL dial-up modem, ready to log in to instant messenger and engage in conversations with friends, perhaps even venturing into a chat room or two. I personally even met one of my online friends in person who thankfully was who he claimed to be. However, as many have experienced, this isn't always the case. Countless individuals have fallen victim to deception, leading to serious emotional harm, and tragically, some have even lost their lives. The prevalence of such incidents, often involving the dark web, is alarming, so I will be covering a lot of these types of cases on Crime Talk with Stef. Today, we are going to share the heartbreaking story of Jaime Michelle Stice. Jaime was a young expectant mother eagerly anticipating the arrival of her baby boy. Tragically, her life took a devastating turn when she encountered a new "friend" online, whose charming facade ultimately led to Jaime's demise. ***Trigger warnings for violence, kidnapping and murder by stabbing.

Send us a Text Message. We are making our way to summer, and with that comes music festivals!! Big crowds, art displays, food trucks, alcohol, and most importantly, good music. This past weekend was the first part of Coachella, and it brought out some groups and artists from the 90s that we thought to mention. Coachella for us, is the festival that is not exactly high on our list. We decided to chat about why we are not fans of the popular festival, and a little bit about the history behind it. In doing so, our nostalgic wheels started turning and transported us back to the 90s when festivals were all the rage... Press play and see which music festivals were our favs, and which ones we wish we had never missed!

Send us a Text Message. Today on Crime Talk with Stef, we discuss a case that I’ve been putting off because of how much the victim means to me, and to everyone who grew up loving her and her music, the one and only, Selena Quintanilla Perez. Selena was a light that this world needed, a down to earth star, who ALWAYS put her fans first and made each person that she met feel special. You don’t see much of that today. One could say that Selena’s trusting and loving soul played a part in her murder, but I don’t think being a good and trusting person is a reason to be an easy target for murder. This is part one of The Murder of Selena Quintanilla Perez. **Trigger warnings for cold blooded murder by shooting.

Send us a Text Message. If you were a 90's teen, chances are you will remember the iconic show, My So-Called Life. The love story between Jordan Catalano (Jared Leto) and Angela Chase (Claire Danes) was iconic and something all of us dreamt of as a teen. The show follows Angela while she deals with the randomness of teenage drama, peer pressure, friendships, love, and teen angst. I think we can all agree that this show captured the mood of what the 90s was known for. Not to mention the drama that unfolded while watching the characters find themselves and unravel the traumas of their youth. The show was surprisingly only 1 season but I did not disappoint.

Diddy was a big hit in the 90's so we felt it was only necessary to spill the tea on the story that is blowing up our news feeds. We also covered some JLO tea and shared our thoughts on the Kate Middleton updates from last week. Enjoy!

Send us a Text Message. On today's episode of Crime Talk with Stef, we discuss the Christine Paolilla case which revolves around the tragic and gruesome murders of four innocent people, 2 of whom were Christine's best friends, in Clear Lake, Texas in 2003. The victims were found shot to death in a home, with the crime initially appearing to be a home invasion. However, the investigation eventually led to Paolilla and her boyfriend at the time, Christopher Snider, who later committed suicide. Paolilla was arrested in 2006 and stood trial, where she was convicted on four counts of murder and sentenced to life in prison. The case garnered significant media attention due to its shocking nature and the young age of the perpetrators. It raised questions about the motives behind the murders and the psychological state of the individuals involved. As always, listener discretion is strongly advised.
