Ep. 129 : Dinosaurs Teach Us About Changing Nature | Happened In The 90s

Happened In the 90's hosted by Steve and Matt picks a day, any day, and then goes back in time to that magical decade we all know and love the 90's, to revisit episodes of tv, movies that premiered, or cultural events that occurred on that day in the 90's.

This week Steve talks about hitting a milestone that is part of growth, Trolls. Damnit we actually had one.

After that it's time to get a bowl cut and pop in that Jock Jams CD because we're talking all things July 20th in the 90s.

Episode: Changing Nature (Season 4| Episode 27)

Premiere Date: 07/20/1994

Story: In the Series Finale, every May 14th the Bunch Beetles are supposed to return to Pangea and to eat the rapidly growing cider poppies; but only one Beetle remains as the WeSaySo wax fruit factory has killed them all. B.P. enlists Earl's assistance as the company attempts to fix the poppy problem by bombing the entire continent with defoliant which kills all plant life. Richfield next decides making it rain will bring the plants back, and to make it rain they need clouds, and they decide to make clouds by dropping bombs in volcanoes; but snow falls instead and the newscaster predicts the clouds will block out the sun for tens of thousands of years. Earl apologizes to his family for taking nature for granted over technology and bringing about the end of the world as they ponder what will become of them.
