Step into the ultimate time capsule as we take you back to the early 2000s— in a 2024 Target?! We're breaking down the trends we loved (and sometimes hated), from raver, popstar, and goth aesthetics to the iconic MC Bling era that defined our youth. Join us as we reminisce about Teletubby necklaces, pop-up parties, and why Target has always been the place to be. Who better to relive this time period than us? 

Anneliese went to the original Mean Girls movie premiere? Who did Anneliese and Christy go to prom with?? And what one regret from the Y2K era does Christy have?

Happy Halloween Big Namers! This week Christy and Anneliese risk their lives for the vlog, and go on the most haunted ghost tour in all of Texas. Our black cat and golden retriever duo really discover their complimentary differences this trip, as we learn Anneliese is quite the disbeliever compared to Christy’s lovable gullibility. From echoing voices, to a creepy ghost baby, and maybe a potentially homophobic ghost?? Christy and Anneliese uncover the spooky mysteries of Texas…

Why does Anneliese not believe in ghosts? What happens to our camera woman during a ghost encounter? And why does Christy start singing to the ghosts??

This week Christy and Anneliese are truly in their nautical era and go on one of the most famous tourist sites in Austin, Texas - the bat boats. In order to see the bats under the bridge, they take a duffy boat out on the river… and fall in love with each other? They also learn about the serial killer who is leaving bodies in the exact lake they’re in, and question why in this day and age the killer has yet to be caught. Whether rain or sun, though, Christy and Anneliese are on the hunt to see some bats!

Why is Christy traumatized from beach sand? Why do they have to rent two different boats? And why were Christy and Anneliese not friends earlier in life?

This week Christy and Anneliese take on the challenge of escaping the hardest escape room in all of Texas. They soon learn who is a flight or fight person after they face their first set back, discovering that Anneliese does not like hard things and Christy would fight to the death. Despite all the clues received, they still struggle to escape, until they realize they have twenty minutes to get to an interview with the Today Show that they forgot. Will they escape in time to get to their interview? Or are Christy and Anneliese still stuck in the room at this very moment?

Why does Christy hate masterkey locks? What tension occurs in the escape room due to miscommunication? And does Christy have secret beef with her inlaws?

Today Christy and Anneliese take an adventure to the great outdoors and learn to fish! Or at least attempt to…Anneliese learns that you do not need to be silent while fishing, and Christy discovers she is not someone who can “take an L”. Anneliese reveals her secret fishing past and familial history. Then the girlies unpack the phrase “so many fish in the sea”, and why that phrase is true for girl fishes, but where are all the boy fishes?? Finally they share their “Big Story” about 20 something year olds in a relationship navigating a fight revolving around a fishing trip, ending with Christy deciding she never wants her daughters to date. 

Why do guys like fishing so much? Have Chirsty and Anneliese ever dated the same guy? And are Christy and Anneliese already planning their mid-40s facelifts???
