Remember being terrified by the ghost stories you read under the covers as a kid? Do you ever look at a green ribbon and wonder what if it has a morbid meaning?

If you ever double checked the backseat of your car before jumping in to drive home alone, you might be a Xennial fan of the "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" series. And we are too.

Join us as we kick off an early spooky season episode and take a nostalgic trip back to the 80s and 90s, revisiting the eerie magic of Alvin Schwartz's "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" series and the younger age classic "In a Dark Dark Room."

Do you remember when downloading a single song to your desktop computer took literal hours?

Are you a fan of teenagers inventing illegal technology?

If you still have burned CD mixes that you downloaded from your Napster playlist, you might be a Xennial. And we are too.

Katie and Dani share their own experience using Napster from 1999 - 2001 and talk about how the platform paved the way for modern streaming giants like Spotify and Apple Music.

And decide for yourself just HOW illegal it actually was -- and what music artists actually liked having Napster share their songs.

Did you know that your 80's childhood toys are now considered antiques? Would you try on an authentic used windsuit for the sake of a selfie opportunity? Do you wish you could find your see-through corded phone, just to put it up to your ear one more time?

If you get excited at the sight of painted fast food glasses or Holiday Barbies still in the box, you might be a Xennial. And we are too.

Join us on a thrifting field trip to America's Antique Mall in Melbourne, Florida.

From the unsettling Madame Alexander dolls that haunted Dani's piano lessons to iconic American Girl dolls, we encounter artifacts from our 80s childhoods and 90s teen years that are now considered antiques.
