About this episode

Jordan and Alex settle into their Thinking Chairs to delve into the beloved ‘90s children’s TV classic. They’ll discuss the time Steve crashed a toddler’s ‘Blue’s Clues’-themed birthday party accompanied by a swimsuit model, why the program got props from Malcolm Gladwell, and the show’s weird connection to both Ray Charles and the Flaming Lips. They’ll also explore how show inadvertently gave rise to a generation of smelly, Ralph Lauren-wearing children, and trace the origin of the 'Steve Is Dead' urban legend.
