Atari, Strawberry Shortcake and Jake Ryan - Growing Up In The 80's

Join us—Sarah and Michele, two unfiltered 50-something women—as we dive deep into how growing up glued to 1980s television, toys, and movies totally shaped who we are today (for better… and for hilarious worse). From Jake Ryan being our first crush (and still the perfect man) to Back to the Future sneakily directing our career dreams, we’re calling out the ridiculous ways 80s pop culture shaped our worldview—and our personalities. Spoiler: we turned out OK. Mostly. In this episode, we laugh (a lot) through: Our favorite 80s movies and the very specific men we crush-dreamed about The toys that defined childhood: Strawberry Shortcake, Collego, Atari, and those tiny plastic shoes that doubled as weapons That time Michele’s TV broke and her parents refused to replace it… for three years The weird but glorious chaos of growing up Gen X (no phones, no oversight, no Pinterest snacks) It’s funny. It’s nostalgic. It’s us—laughing our way through everything that made us... us. Whether you're commuting, folding laundry, screaming into a pillow, or hiding in your pantry for 20 minutes of peace—Talk Shit and Laugh is your new weekly ritual for real friendship, midlife magic, and unfiltered fun.     New episodes every Sunday at 7AM Listen to us on: Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talk-sh-t-and-laugh/id1833034299 Spotify, iHeartMusic and Amazon!
