What do Jordache jeans, Tina Yothers, Princess Fergie, and Pong all have in common? If you grew up in the late '70s and early '80s—you know.

In this laugh-out-loud and soul-warming episode of Real Talk with Tina and Ann, author Amy Weinland Daughters joins us to reflect on the fashion faux pas, iconic pop culture moments, and oddly specific memories that defined a generation. From Gloria Vanderbilt jeans to Nancy Drew novels read under a canopy bed, we revisit the kind of nostalgia that instantly brings people together.

Amy shares her hilarious self-description—a "Tina Yothers meets Princess Fergie" vibe—and the relatable confession that she just wasn’t born with the fashion instinct chip (same, girl, same). We also explore the joy of research, the power of connection through shared memories, and why nostalgia isn’t just fun—it’s deeply healing.

If you remember watching The Gong Show on a giant wooden TV or playing Pong until bedtime, this episode is a warm, funny, and deeply human trip down memory lane.
