00:00:02.960 --> 00:00:06.679
Hello, and welcome to fifty plus. I'm James Lougnior here on jail Jammedia,

2
00:00:06.679 --> 00:00:09.960
and I'm doing a little mini series
to the end of the year.

3
00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:15.560
Excuse me called fifty plus fifty years
ago, forty years ago, thirty years

4
00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:19.480
ago. Now we're at twenty years
ago. I came twenty years ago.

5
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:27.679
We're at two thousand and three.
Yes, where were you? I am

6
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:31.640
happy to talk about chousand and three. I was living in San Francisco.

7
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:38.640
Still, I had a newest job
working at farm an agg for insurance skills

8
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:42.640
center for the Big Eye of insurance
here in California. It was called IBA

9
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:48.079
West. I was at the time, at two thousand and three, I

10
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:52.840
was assisting my best friend in the
conference planning I had become. I don't

11
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:55.039
think I had become a director yet. I think I was still like an

12
00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:59.840
assistant conference planning event management. And
I also I was an assistant for education

13
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:03.560
for CE for the brokers. So
I was doing that living in San Francisco.

14
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:11.040
Can remember if I was dating anybody, raising the kids and in Sacramento

15
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:17.920
and living my life. So normally
I show a picture. The pret's time,

16
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:25.000
I'm gonna show you something. So
back in the day American Express them.

17
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:29.840
They used to come out with these
special books every year, these planning

18
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:34.640
books, and they were beautiful,
and so for a few years they were

19
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:40.920
doing this. I would get them
now, I'd have American Express. But

20
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:42.719
my aunt did and somebody else and
who did too, So we didn't order

21
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:49.000
these books the American Express appointment.
Do you remember this? People? See

22
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.280
we had embroiled JLJ. So thank
you two who got things for me.

23
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:57.239
But in two thousand and three,
at two thousand and four, a two

24
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:01.599
thousand and five, I have a
whole drawer of my journals. I kept

25
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:06.680
these because I wrote a book about
my life, and my life is in

26
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:10.759
here. So even twenty years ago, six years before I began organizing,

27
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:17.520
I was already organized, and the
beautiful leather bound they had how to use

28
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:21.199
the book. It's probably I wish
they kept doing this. They stopped doing

29
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:24.039
that after a while. And all
kinds of goodies, I mean, calendars,

30
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:29.879
all your personal didting going here.
If you're listening to this, I'm

31
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:34.520
showing it. So I've written here
my life as it was back in two

32
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:42.840
thousand and three. So I'm gonna
look, I'm sitting here and it's got

33
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:46.560
randomly going here and see what.
Okay, so on my schedule, Oh

34
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:51.759
my god, it's like so funny. Oh that's right. I was still

35
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:55.360
a video control Okay, I just
fought. Okay, So I found these

36
00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:00.639
in my history. So I have
a show on this channel called Independent Voices.

37
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:04.719
So with the Big Eye, I
came back to them after eleven years

38
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:07.039
of leaving and started running a podcast. And I always talk about my life

39
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.719
and how it started there. Well, here's one of the things. So

40
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:21.400
I that's ready for LA Seconda's so
funny. That was what I So in

41
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:23.759
the begining chous and three, I
was we'king a place called video control.

42
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:27.800
It was a video storm at my
job, my second I had a shift

43
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:36.840
from ten thirty three. But then
on the seventeenth, So first I went

44
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:40.719
to LA on the fourteenth apparently,
came back on siding just more weekend,

45
00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:47.080
came back on Sunday. I started
next job, which was since the seventeenth,

46
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:51.080
which was they had a thing called
the Agribusiness Conference. It was in

47
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:54.280
the early stages. I've got for
the first or second one in Sacramento.

48
00:03:55.439 --> 00:04:00.560
So I went to help my friend
out during the assistant or whatever he needed,

49
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:04.800
and I took a vacation week from
my job Real Control. I had

50
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:09.639
vacation time, so I was getting
paid there and I was getting paid a

51
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:14.360
new job. So apparently I left
m on the eighteenth, came back on

52
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:17.600
the twenty first. That's so funny. Then the oscars were twenty third of

53
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:26.319
March. They went to Sacramento.
They went back to Sacramento in twenty eighth,

54
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:29.680
see my kids. But it's so
funny. I'm just like, wow,

55
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:32.720
look at this. Anyway, I
hadn't seen that. I also wrote

56
00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:39.680
down my taping schedule. When the
tape stuff, it says tape Girlfriends,

57
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.240
nine PM, Channel forty four.
Twenty years later, I doing after so

58
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:47.959
far take Judging Amy, Oh my
godness, that is so funny. The

59
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:56.199
Family Survivor the Amazon far Escape series
ending March twenty first, two thousand and

60
00:04:56.199 --> 00:05:00.600
three. John, don't do that
series when I'm sick in Factor road Rule,

61
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:08.600
Real World Road Rules Challenge. I
literally married by America, so I'm

62
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:14.160
so called the Family. I can't
remember that. Twenty four Uh Sorority Life,

63
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:20.800
Oh my god, life with Body, Buffy Scrubs. That is hilarious.

64
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:27.480
I've I did that on April eighth, twousand and three. I got

65
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:34.279
the new Madonna CD single that is
I left we on my phone video video

66
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:38.120
Control on April fourth, So I
guess it's it's kind of funny. So

67
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:42.560
this just tells my life. These
books were the bomb. Like I said,

68
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:44.680
what am I? I'm running a
story about my life. So you

69
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:46.199
guys, this stuff will be integrated
in there. But these are nice,

70
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:50.480
nice books. They're only for a
couple of years. They ain't doing very

71
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:56.879
long. It's a little piece of
the past. I wonder what happened to

72
00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:04.000
him anyway, and you, uh, let's get into it. They called

73
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:08.879
the American Express Apartment Book. That's
what we're called. Okay, So normally

74
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:12.319
I do what I've been doing.
If you watch the last ones and eighty

75
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:15.639
three series seems to be most popular. It's kind of funny. So these

76
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.759
will see how these go. But
I'm gona finishes out. I do top

77
00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:23.800
ten singles, top ten albums of
the year, top ten movies, and

78
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:28.759
top ten TV shows of that season. Today, just a little different,

79
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:31.399
We're gonna do a top ten singles, top ten albums, top ten TV

80
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:38.519
shows, and top ten World Adventures
of two thousand and three. They vote

81
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:41.639
to all voted to travel. These
are top ten places they wanted to go,

82
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:45.120
So let's start with that first.
I have it over here, so

83
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:46.839
I'm looking up to the side,
but I had to I haven't know the

84
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:54.040
computer over here. So they're top
top ten places were said they wanted to

85
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:57.439
go to travel destinations in twenty or
twenty years of two thousand and three.

86
00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:04.399
Number ten was Nepal, number nine, believes okay, number eight, Australia,

87
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:10.199
number seventh place I like to go, Antarctica, number six, Alaska.

88
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:17.000
Number five was Cuba. Number four
is China. Number three was Egypt,

89
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:24.040
number two Peru. Love the food, and the number one destination up

90
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:30.560
from being number three the year four
Galapalos the islands. Okay, we never

91
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:36.240
guessed that China was number one the
previous year and Cuba was twenty five previous

92
00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:39.160
year, now to number five,
so I don't know what happened in that

93
00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:43.480
year like that. That was the
history. So Glappo Galapo. I can

94
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:46.920
even say Galapalos Islands were number one. I love islands, so that makes

95
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:51.680
sense to me. I like islands, so that was good. So the

96
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:55.560
top ten richards, I said a
little different. I'm going to have a

97
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:58.399
different order to you, Like,
this is a little different for you guys.

98
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:03.439
Now we're gonna do the top ten
rated shows the season of twenty twenty

99
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:07.120
twenty, two thousand and three,
thousand and four. I don't choo two

100
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:09.279
thousand and two, chousand and three
because to me, the beginning of the

101
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:13.240
season is two thousand and two.
That's a whole different year. So due

102
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:15.879
the beginning of chousand and three,
the fall going in chousand and four,

103
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:20.120
he's been top ten shows of that
year. But the way they haven't,

104
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:28.720
the way the ratings are is gonna
be a top eleven and number eleven is

105
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:31.840
without a trace CBS. I used
to like that show. Actually, number

106
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:37.159
ten, I guess it's Tide.
Number nine ten. It's kind of tied.

107
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:46.600
Monday Night Football, ABC and everybody
loves Raymond CBS. Number eight CSI

108
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:50.559
Miami. Number seven Survivor, which
is still out there today, is so

109
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:56.639
funny. Number six. My favorites
er Or as you know it as Er

110
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:01.120
number five Lady became president The Apprentice, and I used to watch it.

111
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:03.879
I was an Apprentice fan. I
used to watch it on NBC and e

112
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:11.679
RS NBC two Friends, number four
NBC, Maye ratter pray recipes and number

113
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:18.600
two and number three from Fox and
I didn't watch it. American Idol Wednesday

114
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:24.080
was number three and Tuesday Night was
number two and the number one show.

115
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:31.240
I remember this, This franchise was
so big. The number one show CSI,

116
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:35.559
Crime Investigators, Crime See Investigation CBS
was number one. Just a little

117
00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:41.200
side note, Law and Orders over
twelve, Will and Grace was over thirteen,

118
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:46.120
and My big fat obnoxious Fiance from
Fox was under fourteen. Kind of

119
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:48.919
funny. Well those are on there. Bachelor Bacherette in the top twenty one,

120
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:56.559
so today's those are all those.
Now we're gonna do the Top US,

121
00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:01.960
not the world. US Billboard two
hundred Albums year end for two thousand

122
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:07.320
and three is the biggest sellers,
and back then you had to buy it

123
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:11.080

00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:39.159
my whole album. Was my song, my whole album. Number seven he

128
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:41.759
went an Oscar. He wasn't there
at the Oscars, but he went an

129
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:50.080
Oscar for his song Lose Yourself eight
Mile soundtrack. Number six of my favorite

130
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:56.480

00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:22.919
never got the Dixie Chicks. It's
like one song is I kind of like

137
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:28.039
my best friend at time. Loved
them, love them, I appreciate them.

138
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.879
I understand their importance. I was
nice, wasn't Internet, but the

Away with Me. And number two
Norah Jones and the number one album of

142
00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:56.679
two thousand and three is Intro Birthday, Go Shorty, Interday, Get Rich

little fun and play pleasure enjoyment.

145
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:16.639
The top one hundred, not doing
that. Top ten singles of the hot

146
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:20.720
one hundred sellers of two thousand and
three. This is radio airplay plus actual

147
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:28.480
physical sales. Back then it was
physical sales. And number ten Bring Me

151
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:54.879

next six years of my life would completely

171
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:37.080
change and be leading my way here. So the next time we come back,

172
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:41.039
that will be twenty thirteen, and
I will have been living in Los

173
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:45.279

00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:48.240
a whole life. I'll be in
my forties and holever life will be switched

175
