Jennie and Amye, sisters and sometimes mortal enemies, are your hosts. Our first stop is Walnut Grove as we take a fresh look at our favorite frontier family (as if we can name another), the Ingalls. There is some seriously weird sh*t in this show that answers a lot of questions…

When Manly morphs into a giant man baby and refuses to do the exercises Doc has provided, Elize Jane comes to town to spoon feed him and possibly hit on him, not sure.

In Season 8, Episode 15: Uncle Jed, the Cooper twins are stunned when Uncle Jed returns with a buttload of cash and a fancy carriage. After endearing himself to Jason and Cassandra, he lawyers the f**k up and tries to rip these already scarred children from Charles’ strong, masculine arms. Cassandra wins a poetry contest, Caroline and Charles have a little romance put back into their marriage thanks to the railroad, and Adam-a lawyer who could help Charles out here-is nowhere to be found. We relive our teenage years spent in a local, haunted sanatorium, and Jennie talks about consumption.

In Season 8, episode 10: Wave of the Future, a fast-talking restaurateur cons Harriet into franchising Caroline’s already-successful restaurant. The change ends up being too much and poor Caroline and Hester Sue are the ones who suffer. Literally nothing much happens in this one, so we spend a lot of time talking about pretty much anything else.

In Season 8, episode 9: For the Love of Nancy, Elmer Miles, a sweet boy who happens to be overweight, comes to Walnut Grove where his life is made miserable. The school kids of WG cannot stop themselves from mistreating this kid. Even Albert, with his new friend, Ray Liotta, is involved in this. Nancy uses Elmer's crush on her to her advantage and ends up alienating him even further from the other kids. In the end, Albert decrees that "hey, we all have bad traits- we just need to accept one another." WRONG, Albert. Amye lives in the rage corner and Jennie posits a theory that Landon was recreating the golden 50's in Walnut Grove.

Jennie and Amye, sisters and Gen Xers, sit down and discuss the 2022 Netflix Docuseries, Trainwreck: Woodstock '99.
In the summer of 1999, while Jennie and Amye were off being poor and lame, 250,000 kids attended what promoters hoped would be an historic once-in-a-generation concert: Woodstock 99. This three-part docuseries exposes poor planning, willful ignorance, and an amazing amount of hubris on the part of (mostly) two men: Michael Lang and John Scher, aka Darth Vader. This was the perfect display of a generational clash between Gen X and Boomers. In the end, a hologram of Jimi Hendrix played as Rome burned.
