Who remembers that early 2000s Nickelodeon show 'Taina?' The series only ran from 2001 to 2002, but that theme song is still stuck in our heads. Actress Christina Vidal Mitchell played the main character, Taina Morales, an aspiring teenage singer with dreams of making it big in Hollywood. You'll also definitely remember the star from the Lindsey Lohan classic, 'Freaky Friday,' and the old school Disney Channel Original Movie, 'Brink.' So, what has she been up to in recent years? Emily explains it all on the latest episode.

If you spent time on the internet in the early to mid 2000s, you've probably asked yourself at least once, "What ever happened to Myspace?"

Joining Emily to reminisce about MySpace is maybe the world’s most recognizable millennial: Rod Thill, AKA “Just Me Rod” AKA “the internet’s coworker.” He makes the most relatable videos on TikTok and Instagram from the POV of a millennial tackling the complicated world of adulting, usually to some classic '90s bangers. Rod is also the host of his very own podcast, Millennial Made, where he creates a safe space for his followers to express corporate burnout and bring us back to the days of Myspace and more.

From the songs that died on our Myspace to their most embarrassing pictures, Emily and Rod cover that bittersweet time in our lives. Plus, stick around for Rod's painfully relatable story about "the popular kid" adding him to his Top 8...or did he?

Either you were obsessed with Cabbage Patch Kids or you never understood the hype. The dolls were huge in the early ‘80s, and for some people, they’re still cherished collectibles today. There have been some revisions over the years, but they're still immediately recognizable with their big-cheeked baby-faces. But the origin story of BabyLand General Hospital may not be all it's cracked up to be.

Emily explains it all, from creepy oaths to babies being plucked from plants, in the latest episode of the podcast.
