Playground Days to First Crushes to Mullets

Jeffy McJefferson

We get into playground days, first crushes, mullets and the awkward moments that shaped our lives. From Jody's hilarious fifth-grade belief that holding hands causes pregnancy to stories of gravel driveways and much more.


• Jody recounts refusing to hold hands with her sixth-grade crush because she feared getting pregnant
• Carolyn shares falling off her father's truck on their long gravel driveway and feeling temporarily abandoned
• Discussion of being latchkey kids and how children had different freedoms in previous decades
• Food memories including white bread used for everything, penny candy stores, and special Sunday meals
• Stories about childhood discipline methods including spanking, picking switches, and the infamous belt threat
• Nostalgic memories of roller skating rinks, especially MSU (Medford Skate University) and its dance parties
• Krista's traumatic "boy haircut" that led to being misidentified in a Burger King ball pit
• Jeff accepts a challenge to grow a mullet over the next few months with periodic progress check-ins
