Mood Rings & Dolphin Tears w/ Melanie

Boy, have we got an episode for you… Not only do we discuss Goosebumps knockoffs like Shivers and Graveyard School, but we also talk Korean corndogs, mood rings, and the illustrious wordplay of one Bob Dylan.

But, that’s not why we’re here today. Today we had to bring in the wonderful brain of Melanie in order to Spelunk the 1994 smash hit I Only Wanna Be With You by Hootie & The Blowfish. As you can imagine, the conversation steers into many things, such as court jesters, phrasal etymology, and Nick News.


PLUS! We have a very, very special song we are debuting at the end of this episode. Never before heard by the listening public, we have none other than the newest single from our very own Rob Snow aka Araless aka The Boy Wonder (the last nickname I totally made up but three names sounds more alluring than two, so…). The song is called Lights & Sounds off his newest project Nemesis coming out later this year. So make sure you stay tuned til the end.


And if you enjoy what we are doing here at the Pit and would like to support us further, please check us out our patreon, where we have exclusive extended episodes! Today, we discuss the Little Giants, Alphabots, and Twin Peaks.

About the Podcast

The Nostalgia Pit
FKA: Ruining Your Childhood - The Pitfalls of Nostalgia
The Nostalgia Pit is a podcast aiming to dissect pop culture, the subconscious, and other psychological phenomena through a hyperbolic and prismatic lens. Hosted by Rob Snow and Colin Casserd, the Nostalgia Pit is available anywhere you find your podcasts.

Nostalgia is so often thought of as something great from our childhood... But this psychological pitfall can sometimes have massive effects on our decision making. Our goal here is to discuss these areas where morals and ethics blur and the warm feelings of childhood take over. Oh, and to talk some shit...

Produced by Colin Casserd
Engineered by Alex Riddle (Season 2)
