Speaker 1: Mac. The other day, my wife said to me, and
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure how to take this, but she said,
Speaker 1: you smell like garlic. Who are you Dracula?
Speaker 2: Oh that's not she made No.
Speaker 1: That's what I said to her too. And you know
Speaker 1: what she did. She fixed her fake glasses.
Speaker 2: You know your wife fashion icon. We wearing glasses just
Speaker 2: to look cool, because that's I thing I think people
Speaker 2: do know. When we were kids, you're called four eyes.
Speaker 1: But now I'm saying more, No, she did not have
Speaker 1: glasses on. She was calling me a nerd for correcting her.
Speaker 2: No, No, that's not a Dracula thing, is not. That's
Speaker 2: a survival thing. That's what that's come on. Now, she
Speaker 2: would die to a Dracula very easily. She would have
Speaker 2: died in sinners instantly. That's she doesn't know what she's doing.
Speaker 1: I feel like that's someone saying, oh, you like fire,
Speaker 1: Who are you, Frankenstein?
Speaker 2: You know what it's a kin? Do is? I am
Speaker 2: trained in putting fires out right with water. People really
Speaker 2: like to think that I'm an expert fire starter. I said,
Speaker 2: I don't think you understand what I do well.
Speaker 1: But also if I asked you right now to start
Speaker 1: a fire. Could you do it?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I could probably do it better than most, but
Speaker 2: that's not what I'm trained in. You know, I might
Speaker 2: know the the the chemical reaction a little bit better
Speaker 2: than most, but I mean I'm an expert at putting
Speaker 2: or at starting fires, just as you know Dracula. Garlic
Speaker 2: puts Dracula out. She missed it, she missed the mark,
Speaker 2: but also little racist on her part. Right, you're Italian.
Speaker 1: Garlic right now, I do smell like garlic. One Go three, Yeah,
Speaker 1: job three, King of Queen Mall Street Entertainment. I'm good
Speaker 1: and I'm mad, and we are the Mac and Goo Program.
Speaker 1: We bring you friendship.
Speaker 2: Yes, and today we're taking you way back to a
Speaker 2: time where Good and I were were kids looking for friends.
Speaker 2: We were eleven years old, back in the year two
Speaker 2: thousand and the yassuh. If you've been a listener to
Speaker 2: this podcast for a long time, a staple of this
Speaker 2: program was the Mac and gooviy Vault series where we
Speaker 2: went back all the way to nineteen eighty three, nineteen
Speaker 2: eighty three, five five, and we talked about the best
Speaker 2: movies in a given year. So this is not unlike that.
Speaker 2: We're going to go back to years more specifically during
Speaker 2: our childhood. We're not going to go back as far
Speaker 2: as we did with the Gouy Vault and just basically
Speaker 2: do essentially a year in review. What was that year like,
Speaker 2: what what was the media? What, you know, what we're watching,
Speaker 2: what were we listening to? What was that like? And
Speaker 2: we'll we'll talk about it here.
Speaker 1: Movies only play a very small part of what these
Speaker 1: episodes are going to be. It's going to be what
Speaker 1: the big pop call sure touchstone moments are from the year,
Speaker 1: and that could range from anything to anything.
Speaker 2: And I believe Goo and I were in sixth grade.
Speaker 2: We started an end in sixth grade in the year
Speaker 2: two thousand. I'm pretty sure, right.
Speaker 1: It might be fifth at the end, and then the
Speaker 1: start of sixth yeah, I believe you're it was the
Speaker 1: summer heading into this, we.
Speaker 2: Graduated Jesus Christ, is how old we are. We graduated
Speaker 2: elementary school in the year two thousand. That's correct, started
Speaker 2: sixth grade in the year two thousand, So that's where
Speaker 2: you and I were at that point. I'm sure some
Speaker 2: of you graduated high school that year, and some of
Speaker 2: this episode is based around that. You know, in the
Speaker 2: year two thousand, we're going to be giving out some
Speaker 2: superlatives and talking about what was the most year two
Speaker 2: thousand type of thing.
Speaker 1: And also, as you can tell by the title of
Speaker 1: this episode, this is the first of our tierbook series.
Speaker 1: Due to licensing rights, this portion of the podcast cannot
Speaker 1: play in the audio episode. That won't be in the
Speaker 1: audio portion if you're listening, I don't want to get
Speaker 1: flagged if we get taken down on YouTube. Who gives
Speaker 1: a shit.
Speaker 2: I don't think they're gonna take down a recorder version
Speaker 2: of Vitamin C's graduation. But if they do, YouTube's got
Speaker 2: bigger problems.
Speaker 1: That's it's all the time or the years we spent
Speaker 1: together or had together. By the end of this running gag,
Speaker 1: this running bit, these shows, we're gonna figure out the
Speaker 1: lyrics to Vitamin C's graduation.
Speaker 2: Gu Unfortunately for your right, when we graduated in high
Speaker 2: school in the year of two thousand and seven, we
Speaker 2: didn't do any superlatives. And I think that's absolute horseshit. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: I know because like my wife my life, who went
Speaker 1: to a different Massachusetts school, they had it in their
Speaker 1: yearbook and she won best Dressed.
Speaker 2: I tell you, one of the best things is looking
Speaker 2: back at people's high school yearbooks and seeing shit like
Speaker 2: the super superlatives. For the people at home, what it
Speaker 2: is a superlative? You think I could have won in
Speaker 2: the year two thousand and seven, and I'll do.
Speaker 1: You, future, bald asshole, I think you could have.
Speaker 2: You would have been in the running for clash Clown.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you would have won it, but
Speaker 2: you would have been on the short list.
Speaker 1: Should I be proud of that?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know should be I don't
Speaker 2: have a long way, come a long way. If they
Speaker 2: did best laugh, I might have had a chance. I
Speaker 2: don't know if I.
Speaker 1: Will say this, as I have brought you to a
Speaker 1: couple company parties and people have pointed out your smile
Speaker 1: and your laugh as a very welcoming magnetic Yes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: whereas me they they question why I'm here?
Speaker 2: All right? So for the year two thousand, we will
Speaker 2: be giving out ten super superlatives aka the Ten Commandments.
Speaker 2: I don't know, that's just the first thing I thought
Speaker 2: of when I thought the number ten. And we get
Speaker 2: a call again or no, come up with a ten
Speaker 2: command them. So for the year two thousand, most likely
Speaker 2: to succeed. Our nominees were the PlayStation two, coming off
Speaker 2: the heels of all the hot video games in the
Speaker 2: middle and late nineties, Survivor GOO. This was the year
Speaker 2: the television show Survivor took the countries by storm ended
Speaker 2: up becoming the biggest show of the year. But I
Speaker 2: think your winner for most likely to succeed, and as
Speaker 2: we saw it play out, of course, we have some
Speaker 2: hindsight here. Goo is comic book movies. Comic book movies.
Speaker 2: Thank God and Kevin Faigy for producing the movie X
Speaker 2: Men in the year two thousand. It was the sixth
Speaker 2: highest grossing movie of the year. It provided a proof
Speaker 2: of concept for these franchise comic book movies and not
Speaker 2: just one offs that we had had some successful movies
Speaker 2: of in the past. So you're winner for most likely
Speaker 2: to s see the year two thousand X Men slash Combook.
Speaker 1: So I almost think that we maybe want to put
Speaker 1: poles online of like one or the other, because I
Speaker 1: think that the PlayStation who might be the winner here
Speaker 1: because it quite possibly I don't know if it's the
Speaker 1: best video game console of all time, but the game
Speaker 1: library is the best of all time and it ran
Speaker 1: for so long and people are still using their PlayStation two.
Speaker 1: A big thing about it is because you could play
Speaker 1: DVDs on there.
Speaker 2: So the whole reason why I want to do the
Speaker 2: episode this way is for that.
Speaker 1: No, we can just do this very quickly one minute.
Speaker 2: We also the concept of this episode might change three
Speaker 2: times by the time.
Speaker 1: By the way, we don't know what we're doing yet,
Speaker 1: so we haven't even stamped what the rules are yet.
Speaker 1: We might stamp remove the rules.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that someone This sounds like Velcrow.
Speaker 1: It was a very limited access to what I had
Speaker 1: for sound effects, and that is removing a stamp.
Speaker 2: I'm okay with any of those three winnings. Survived I
Speaker 2: was actually between Survivor and comic book movies. PlayStation two
Speaker 2: was third for me. But whatever, three good nominades. I'd
Speaker 2: say comic book movies.
Speaker 1: You say PlayStation, I say PlayStation two. Hop down in
Speaker 1: the comment section the YouTube and tell us what you think.
Speaker 1: Smash that subscribe button, give us a thumbs up. Put
Speaker 1: the little bell on so that when we put a
Speaker 1: video out, you get to watch it immediately. You get
Speaker 1: told immediately, your phone will tell you goo.
Speaker 2: You're most likely to be famous for the year two
Speaker 2: thousand and I'm gonna give this essentially the Newcomer Award.
Speaker 2: Here we had our nominees Cisco, Jessica Simpson, the new
Speaker 2: Destiny's Child lineup that's right out, go LaTavia Robinson and
Speaker 2: LaToya Lucky Income Fair, Franklin and Michelle Williams, who ends
Speaker 2: up being their long term Joaquin Phoenix survivor nominated again here,
Speaker 2: Frankie Munez, Malcolm in the Middle, Hi Leboeuf burst onto
Speaker 2: the scene as well. Even Stevens to me Goo the
Speaker 2: winner here most likely to be famous is Joaquin Phoenix.
Speaker 2: I leaned him. I think he stands out just ahead
Speaker 2: of the other ones. Now, the Beyonce factor in Destiny's
Speaker 2: Child is tough to ignore, but I think you have
Speaker 2: to save that for maybe the year she goes solo,
Speaker 2: you know, Okay.
Speaker 1: So if we're doing if we're doing that, we're doing
Speaker 1: comment down below. I would lean Destiny's Child. Jessica Simpson
Speaker 1: had a.
Speaker 2: Real nice run, hot hot, she burned real hot, she
Speaker 2: burned bright early.
Speaker 1: And then Shia lebuff because even Stevens big for us,
Speaker 1: I don't know how big it was with anyone beyond
Speaker 1: our age group. Because most people would fall back on
Speaker 1: Frankie Munez. But beyond Malcolm in the middle, of course,
Speaker 1: he gave his big fat liar agent Cody Banks. I
Speaker 1: don't know which one is which, but he races cars
Speaker 1: now he sells olive oil.
Speaker 2: I also think Survivor could win like four of these.
Speaker 2: But if it's not Survivor, Joaquin Phoenix had been in
Speaker 2: a couple somewhat notable things prior, but this is the
Speaker 2: year he does Gladiator and really cements himself as an
Speaker 2: up and coming star. That's why I think it should
Speaker 2: be Joaquin Phoenix. But again, a lot of good nominee.
Speaker 1: Brother of River real name Raphael Bottom.
Speaker 2: Go yes your nominees for most athletic in the year
Speaker 2: two thousand. Shaquille O'Neal the Lakers win their first championship,
Speaker 2: put the Shaq and Kobe combination, matam Bro the Devils
Speaker 2: win their second. Stanley Cupp Derek Jeter, the Yankees cap
Speaker 2: up a third straight cement their dynasty. I don't know
Speaker 2: who to nominate from them. You could go Clements, you
Speaker 2: could go Bernie, you could go Rivera. I think all
Speaker 2: three were better than jee.
Speaker 1: I don't need any of them. Actually, I don't need
Speaker 1: any of those four.
Speaker 2: That's fine. Pedro Martinez gu puts up eleven point seven
Speaker 2: war and arguably the greatest pitching season of all time
Speaker 2: and deep in the steroid. Ever, I think that's an
Speaker 2: easy winner. In ninety percent of the years, however, we
Speaker 2: get Tiger Woods. In the year two thousand, who finally
Speaker 2: becomes Tiger nine wins three majors. He achieved a scoring
Speaker 2: average of sixty eight point one seven, breaking the previous
Speaker 2: record held by Byron Nelson, like sixty years earlier, he
Speaker 2: broke her tied twenty seven PGA Tour records, and he started.
Speaker 2: He played in twenty tournaments that year and finished in
Speaker 2: the top five and seventeen of them. So I think
Speaker 2: it's got to be Tiger Woods. He made He was
Speaker 2: the first person to ever make no.
Speaker 1: I would say that Tiger Woods is not only a
Speaker 1: national icon, an international icon, and this is the year
Speaker 1: that really pushed forth him being a true champion of
Speaker 1: the sport. Pedro Martinez might be more regional because I
Speaker 1: still think that outside of the New England area, he
Speaker 1: might not get the respect that he deserves for that
Speaker 1: five season run that he had with the Red Sox
Speaker 1: even nationally. I think Shack might get it over Pedro.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you might be right. I also think Pedro got
Speaker 2: stiffed from an MVP that year. He's oh my god. Yeah,
Speaker 2: well as a cy young so there's that whole discussion
Speaker 2: as well. He gets stiffed here, not because of anyone
Speaker 2: else in his sports, just because Tiger's Tiger. Gu You're
Speaker 2: most dramatic for the year two thousand. This could be
Speaker 2: a little bit of everything. Our nominees here Metallica, they
Speaker 2: fucked up music downloading for all that young fans.
Speaker 1: And we'll get into it more with the tiers later,
Speaker 1: but they get blamed for it more than other people.
Speaker 1: But other artists were in on this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were just the most famous artists and really
Speaker 2: were really was the voice of mouthpiece for the movement.
Speaker 2: Why two k super dramatic, Nothing happened a blip on
Speaker 2: the radar, really, I suppose for for the beginning part
Speaker 2: of the year two thousand and then this one. I
Speaker 2: combine this too because it's kind of all of the same.
Speaker 2: It affects it's the same people sort of.
Speaker 1: Making I think of different things. Although one is so
Speaker 1: Janet Reno.
Speaker 2: So the United States Government. Most dramatic in the year
Speaker 2: two thousand, we have the Eli and Gonzales situation, which
Speaker 2: was not great for most people involved, and then you
Speaker 2: had the two thousand presidential election, which was an actual
Speaker 2: absolute shit show. So to me, the most dramatic in
Speaker 2: the year two thousand the United States government.
Speaker 1: Which is really funny because the most dramatic of that
Speaker 1: bunch would be Al Gore and he's an emotionless ghoul.
Speaker 1: I'll go white two.
Speaker 2: K Okay, I'm cool with that too. Our best friends
Speaker 2: or frenemies for the year two thousand, This one could
Speaker 2: go either way.
Speaker 1: By the way, Mack did all this stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we could have more nominees, but these two
Speaker 2: are so strong.
Speaker 1: Go to the comment section below and tell us more nominees.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if we missed one, go ahead and fly it
Speaker 2: in here. But I think these are two so over
Speaker 2: the top obvious ones that define the year and the era.
Speaker 2: You have Brittany and Christina friends frenemies, Backstreet Boys and
Speaker 2: then SINC. Friends frenemies. Whichever one I go, Britney Christina.
Speaker 2: I think there was more respect between Backstreet and then SINC.
Speaker 2: Than there was Brittany and Christina, so I think they're
Speaker 2: better friends.
Speaker 1: I agree, And I also look at Backstreet versu in
Speaker 1: SINC as almost like a two horse race where you
Speaker 1: know you do have ninety eight degrees also sniffing around there,
Speaker 1: but especially this year, I think in SINC pulled ahead
Speaker 1: of Backstreet Boys.
Speaker 2: You could probably argue Backstreet was ahead leading into this
Speaker 2: year and the other aspect. And this is why I
Speaker 2: think it's a better friendly battle. Brittany was always ahead
Speaker 2: of a Christina, so I think Christina was always the underdog,
Speaker 2: and that's a better friend of me situation.
Speaker 1: And I also feel like Christina thought that she was
Speaker 1: more talented than Brittany and she was slighted.
Speaker 2: Christina's for sure a better singer, but it didn't matter
Speaker 2: in the year two.
Speaker 1: Thousands, right, we want performers, and Brittany had the banger
Speaker 1: music videos.
Speaker 2: Yes, and everyone wanted to bang her.
Speaker 1: Oh, come on, MACU.
Speaker 2: The cutest couple nominees for the year two thousand, we
Speaker 2: had uh one that.
Speaker 1: None of these have aged well. By the way, none
Speaker 1: of these have aged well.
Speaker 2: You have Jennifer Lopez and puff Daddy was still puff
Speaker 2: Daddy at the time. I think he was committing a
Speaker 2: lot of crimes back then. But there you go, Nickolasha
Speaker 2: and Jessica Simpson. I think it was the first year
Speaker 2: they became like a m This way, I might go
Speaker 2: with these two, Carson Dally and Tara Reid. Huh, yeah,
Speaker 2: I forgot about that. Good for Carson Daily, that's for sure.
Speaker 2: Of course, Brittany Britney Spears Justin Timberlake. That might be
Speaker 2: the obvious answer, but alas someone that supplants them, I
Speaker 2: think Brad Pitt and Jennifer Anderson they were the couple.
Speaker 2: They were who everyone wanted to be and rooted for.
Speaker 2: Brittany and Justin was cute and it was fun because
Speaker 2: they were young. Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, Yeah, we're
Speaker 2: the couple.
Speaker 1: It's the cute puppy dog couple with Justin and Brittany.
Speaker 1: We've found out more things after the thing of it,
Speaker 1: but like Brad and Jennifer still respect each other, so
Speaker 1: that's nice. And they got married this year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go. There you go, there's your answer.
Speaker 2: Your class clown nominates for the year two thousand y two.
Speaker 2: K right back up and there why not Frankie Munez
Speaker 2: Classic little middle school class clown. He might be in
Speaker 2: like sixth grade. Here, Malcolm in the middle.
Speaker 1: I would take the younger brother, what's his name with
Speaker 1: the ears, Dewey Dewey. There we go. He's not he's
Speaker 1: not doing the revival show because he's anymore.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Larry David burst onto the scene with Kirby Enthusiasm.
Speaker 1: And let everyone know that he was George Kastanza. This
Speaker 1: was the thing, is like, look, I know that I
Speaker 1: was a writer on that show, but it's based off me,
Speaker 1: and now I'm gonna swear.
Speaker 2: And obviously Curb is maybe my favorite show of all time,
Speaker 2: so maybe a little biased here. You also have Jim
Speaker 2: Carrey had me myself and Irene and the Grinch that
Speaker 2: came out both did pretty well, and of course notorious
Speaker 2: clash clown. That's a good nominee uh one that I
Speaker 2: think people forget about you and I won't hashtag dork.
Speaker 2: Won't Tom Green the Tom Green Show on MTV. You
Speaker 2: had road Trip and you had Charlie's Angels. He was
Speaker 2: in so he was pretty prominent.
Speaker 1: Was this the year for the bum Bum song?
Speaker 2: I think it was the year after, I want to say,
Speaker 2: or the year before I don't believe it was the
Speaker 2: year two thousand, but I could be wrong. If it is,
Speaker 2: he probably wins. And then our final nominee Eminem. Eminem
Speaker 2: was having fun rapping. We had the Marshall mathis LP
Speaker 2: second album come out in the year two thousand off.
Speaker 2: This album had the real someome shady the way I
Speaker 2: am and Stan maybe a little more serious than all
Speaker 2: these other clash clowns, but good nominees.
Speaker 1: Nonetheless, you okay, so Lonely Swedish came out in the
Speaker 1: year nineteen ninety nine. Okay, that is gonna give it
Speaker 1: to Eminem.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, over Larry David you think, Yeah, all right.
Speaker 2: Eminem's our class clown.
Speaker 1: He clowned on everyone on TRL. Remember when he took
Speaker 1: over mt music videos were a very fast took over
Speaker 1: MTV one time, and he didn't a sketch on What
Speaker 1: was that late night soft core porn show that they
Speaker 1: had on on MTV.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, the late nights HBO. HBO had cat House
Speaker 2: and Taxi Cab Confessions.
Speaker 1: It was like it was like something called Naked.
Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know. Eminem is your winner for clash
Speaker 2: clown Year of two thousand. Goo Your nominees for Life
Speaker 2: of the Party and the Year two thousand. Of course,
Speaker 2: PlayStation two a lot of people hung out and party.
Speaker 1: Dress too undressed.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, sure, sure, why not.
Speaker 1: It isn't Bliss from the Oxygen network, but it's close.
Speaker 2: You had Cisco with the Thong song that was played
Speaker 2: at every party ever if you went to a party
Speaker 2: of the year two thousand. Destiny's Child had say My
Speaker 2: Name Jumping Jumping Faith Hill Song of the Year Goo Breathe,
Speaker 2: Great tune, Great fucking tune, and that song was the
Speaker 2: first country music recording to be ranked number one since
Speaker 2: Johnny Horton's That All of Knowledge in nineteen fifty nine.
Speaker 2: There's a fun fact for you.
Speaker 1: So fun.
Speaker 2: Santana had Smooth Maria Maria the number two, number three
Speaker 2: singles of the year. That's in sync had the number
Speaker 2: one album of the year, No strings attached eminem of course,
Speaker 2: we just mentioned the Realsom Shady The way I Am
Speaker 2: Stan Britney spears. This is at the tail end of
Speaker 2: Baby one More Time. Oops, I did it again? Comes
Speaker 2: out in the year two thousand. So you have simultaneously
Speaker 2: on the radio at all times. You drive me crazy.
Speaker 2: Born to make you happy from the bottom of my
Speaker 2: broken heart. Oops, I did it again, Lucky Stronger. I
Speaker 2: think Life of the Party is either between Britney because
Speaker 2: of the volume, or Cisco for the thong song.
Speaker 1: I'll say Cisco Thong song.
Speaker 2: Okay, Cisco Thong song is your winner. Life of the
Speaker 2: Party Year two thousand. Good, We got two left here.
Speaker 2: Your biggest flirt nominees for the year two thousand. Your
Speaker 2: man Brad Pitt when sexiest man alive. I think he's
Speaker 2: a He's an AFT nominee. Here you have Jennifer Lopez.
Speaker 2: It's the year of the green Dress. Dress the Green
Speaker 2: Dress Year two thousand for jail that's tough to beat.
Speaker 2: We've mentioned Britney a bunch here. She's a natural nominee
Speaker 2: for here. Julia Roberts. She's everywhere, She's on the big screen,
Speaker 2: She's all over the place. Jennifer Aniston, one part of
Speaker 2: the sexiest couple in the world, Angelina Joe Lee starting
Speaker 2: to pop up here too, Go huh, a little foreshadowing there.
Speaker 2: And then of course you have Christina Aguilera playing second
Speaker 2: fiddle and Beyonce. Now that Dusty's child is becoming more popular,
Speaker 2: she's more at the forefront. I feel like that jalre.
Speaker 1: Jalo a dress, the Jay dress. And then was it
Speaker 1: the next year or was it the end of the
Speaker 1: year where Trey Stone and Matt Parker ripped it off.
Speaker 2: I think it was the next year at the VMA's Acid. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: all right, gu our final superlative for the year two thousand,
Speaker 2: Future President, but I'm essentially calling this the MVP of
Speaker 2: the year. Your nominees again, you have Survivor, Tiger Woods
Speaker 2: in syncs up there, Britney Spears, eminem got the two Grammys,
Speaker 2: dropped the Marshall Madas LP, George Clooney. In the year
Speaker 2: two thousand, gou, he has er one of the best
Speaker 2: shows on television. Oh Brother, where Aren't out? The Perfect Storm?
Speaker 2: Very successful year. Look at this though, gu mel Gibson
Speaker 2: three top twenty grossing movies on the ear The Patriot,
Speaker 2: What Women Want co starring Helen Hunt and Chicken Run
Speaker 2: Chicken Run for Mel Gibson, Oh, Chicken Run. And then
Speaker 2: you have Carlo Santana Smooth Maria Maria. It's a tough one.
Speaker 2: This is a tough one. Gil. I don't know where
Speaker 2: to where to lean with this one. For for the
Speaker 2: MVP of the year two thousand.
Speaker 1: Oh, this is for MVP. I thought you mean future president,
Speaker 1: like someone that actually could run for president because.
Speaker 2: No, well in this in today's age, yes.
Speaker 1: But say, if that's the case, George Clooney would be
Speaker 1: someone that could run for president.
Speaker 2: George Clooney. I mean Mel Gibson couldn't because of drunk voicemails.
Speaker 1: But that doesn't matter anymore nothing.
Speaker 2: But I also feel like, you know, coming back and
Speaker 2: as a younger crowd eleven years old, we didn't know
Speaker 2: Carlo Santana until this album, so maybe it's Santana.
Speaker 1: It's more of a comeback though it's more of a
Speaker 1: Kim k No.
Speaker 2: I know, but he's it's it was such a great comeback.
Speaker 2: It's borderline MVP level. So if you want to take
Speaker 2: if you want to remove him, because he's more comeback,
Speaker 2: it's got to be between eminem and Britney.
Speaker 1: Right, it's probably Tiger. It's probably Brittany. That's Brittany or Tiger,
Speaker 1: you're right.
Speaker 2: Or Survivor because it's been nominated for so many things,
Speaker 2: I'll say Brittany. Brittany can win everything if she'd like.
Speaker 2: So your MVP for the year two thousand, Britney Spears.
Speaker 2: Lock it up. Bang.
Speaker 1: Now let's get to the second part of the tier book,
Speaker 1: what you all came for. We are going to put
Speaker 1: up numerous things from the year and we are going
Speaker 1: to tier them where they belong as how important they
Speaker 1: are not only at the time, but how they feel now,
Speaker 1: what has lasted over the years, and we will share
Speaker 1: on the screen right now what the tears are. We
Speaker 1: have at the top changed the world, second level, this
Speaker 1: is the future, third lasting impact. Second to the bottom
Speaker 1: is a blip on the radar, just a fad. And
Speaker 1: then at the bottom, first the garbage, the bin pointless.
Speaker 1: The cops say it doesn't matter. And of course when
Speaker 1: it comes to our tiers, we each have two moves.
Speaker 1: So if Mac wants to put something somewhere, I can
Speaker 1: move it twice. But if we want to put something
Speaker 1: somewhere and permanently have it there, we each have one
Speaker 1: stamp butts to combat that. We each have one stamp remover.
Speaker 2: Should we just get rid of the stamp remover because
Speaker 2: it's just I don't know if the stamp remover is
Speaker 2: actually doing anything. If we if we have just one
Speaker 2: and one. We're just gonna remove each other's stamp.
Speaker 1: Once again, this is a work in progress. Should we
Speaker 1: have three moves, two stamps, one remover.
Speaker 2: I don't know if there's enough items for that, though.
Speaker 1: There's one hundred items here.
Speaker 2: Two moves, two stamps, one remover.
Speaker 1: Two moves, two stamps, one.
Speaker 2: Remover, just to kick drum for the stamp.
Speaker 1: Oh, it's up boom right there.
Speaker 2: I get what it invokes.
Speaker 1: It's a theater of the mind around here.
Speaker 2: MA, sure, sure? Can you make it so that the
Speaker 2: UURL doesn't show? Is that a thing?
Speaker 1: How about this? I can do everything in post. Okay,
Speaker 1: what you're seeing right now? The cops say it doesn't matter?
Speaker 1: All right, here we go the first thing up that
Speaker 1: this is the first thing of the year. As the
Speaker 1: clock struck mid literally in nineteen ninety nine, as we
Speaker 1: hit zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero two
Speaker 1: thousand y two, k I am gonna say the cops
Speaker 1: say it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: I would say, blip on the radar fad because although
Speaker 2: nothing there was no fallout for it. The six month
Speaker 2: ramp up made it a bit of a fad. It was.
Speaker 2: It was a conversation piece and every aspect of life
Speaker 2: for a while.
Speaker 1: You're right, because we also still have movies made with
Speaker 1: that title. People still joke about it. We had Y
Speaker 1: two J for a while.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 1: How about and they built a beautiful I wouldn't say colisseum,
Speaker 1: but a building in the area for this the Sydney
Speaker 1: Summer Olympics.
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest, I don't remember much from the
Speaker 2: Sydney Summer Olympics, and I generally like the Olympics. These
Speaker 2: don't really stick out to me, so I would say,
Speaker 2: blip on the radar.
Speaker 1: What we're gonna do here? Matc is I think through
Speaker 1: these years, through these twenty five years of tearbooks, is
Speaker 1: you love reality television?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: And one of the reality shows that started in the
Speaker 1: year two thousand is Big Brother? Where do you put
Speaker 1: Big Brother?
Speaker 2: So I am not a Big Brother guy. The concept
Speaker 2: is easy to understand, and I get why it's been
Speaker 2: so popular over the last twenty five years. If you
Speaker 2: don't know what the term big Brother stems from, it's
Speaker 2: from being watched at all times from you know, the government.
Speaker 2: In this case, it's the general public, it's the viewers.
Speaker 2: I think it is this is the future or it
Speaker 2: could be lasting impact, actually lasting impact, because it is
Speaker 2: sort of the way reality TV turned into and Big
Speaker 2: Brother was the first show. Now I could be wrong
Speaker 2: about this, it's the first show I remember giving you
Speaker 2: access to a live feed online, so even when you
Speaker 2: weren't when they weren't showing the show on TV, you
Speaker 2: could like go online and watch Big Brother. I don't
Speaker 2: know if that happened in the year two thousand, but
Speaker 2: it happened at some point.
Speaker 1: I feel like you're the expert on this, so I'm
Speaker 1: not even gonna fight you on this one. Okay, I'll
Speaker 1: say this is the future. That's fine. How about the
Speaker 1: Nokia thirty three to ten.
Speaker 2: I think at some point from our age group and older,
Speaker 2: everyone had this phone. Everyone playing remembers playing Snake on
Speaker 2: this phone moreover, right, so lasting impact.
Speaker 1: I think, thinking back to my childhood, the phone that
Speaker 1: sticks out in my brain the most is the Chirp Chirp.
Speaker 1: But that's not an option here.
Speaker 2: That this the RAZORLG shit Amount Rushmore, but this one,
Speaker 2: the the Nokia phone was the first phone I ever
Speaker 2: remember seeing like kiosks in the mall having all these
Speaker 2: face plates for it. They'd have like fifty you could
Speaker 2: choose from. So I think it has a lasting impact.
Speaker 1: Let's go to a piece of news that devastated you.
Speaker 1: You didn't go to school for a week. I remember this,
Speaker 1: and that is when Charles Schultz died, the Peanuts guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's somewhere in the bottom too. I don't I
Speaker 2: don't know how much.
Speaker 1: Can I make a pitch to you to why this
Speaker 1: might be lasting impact?
Speaker 2: Okay, sure, he made it a rule that when he died,
Speaker 2: no one else could do Peanut comic strips. Oh I
Speaker 2: like that. Good lasting impact?
Speaker 1: Your lasting impact, rip Charles Schultz. The PlayStation two release,
Speaker 1: this changed the world.
Speaker 2: It definitely did, for sure.
Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier the game library is amazing. This had
Speaker 1: a DVD. So what happened here is that DVD players
Speaker 1: cost a lot of money at the time.
Speaker 2: They were like four to five hundred dollars or something.
Speaker 1: Like that, or it might've been been a little bit
Speaker 1: cheaper at that time, but it was comparable to what
Speaker 1: the PS two costs. So people said, why don't I
Speaker 1: just buy a PlayStation two that plays DVDs and I
Speaker 1: can also play games.
Speaker 2: I'm getting a premium gaming system and essentially a DVD
Speaker 2: player for.
Speaker 1: Free and you know not to you know, pull up
Speaker 1: old wounds for myself. Because this gaming system was so
Speaker 1: successful and people were waiting for this, the Sega Dreamcast died.
Speaker 2: I mean PS two I got probably in the year
Speaker 2: two thousand, if not for a Christmas that year at
Speaker 2: the end of the year, and I had it up
Speaker 2: through college through sophomore year college, so I had it
Speaker 2: for eight ron.
Speaker 1: I mean, I remember that even when I had moved
Speaker 1: on to I want to say, like the PS four,
Speaker 1: maybe my sister was still using the PS two. There
Speaker 1: you go, the guitar hero Bang Destiny's Child and like
Speaker 1: you said, this was the lineup change year. This is
Speaker 1: changing the world.
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 1: Though? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I would say lasting impact, and it's not the future
Speaker 2: because gold groups didn't really become the future, right, it
Speaker 2: was sort of in the past there. I just feel
Speaker 2: like Desty's Child has a lasting impact.
Speaker 1: Beyonce, Beyonce is Beyonce has changed. Beyonce did change the
Speaker 1: world because girls they run the world.
Speaker 2: I gonna stamp Deesty's Child at Lasting Impact.
Speaker 1: Oh what No, that's too Lowang, Can I put it
Speaker 1: above Charles Schultz?
Speaker 2: You could do that, Okay? Okay, fuck, don't put it
Speaker 2: above that fucking Nokia.
Speaker 1: Though I'm not putting it above the Nokia. But how
Speaker 1: about no Strings Attached. This was the third studio album
Speaker 1: for InSync, and like I said, this is what made
Speaker 1: them like True Royalty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because this is they had a little bit more
Speaker 2: songwriting freedom and we started to see Justin Timberlake emerge
Speaker 2: ads like the guy of the group, not unlike Beyonce
Speaker 2: and Destiny's Child. I also, yeah, so I I don't
Speaker 2: know if it's this is the future. It's the same
Speaker 2: argument as Dusty's Child. So I would say lasting impact.
Speaker 2: I guess because of their lead people, you could argue
Speaker 2: those two could be bumped up. But as the group
Speaker 2: lasting impact.
Speaker 1: I'll say lasting impact. And of course with no strings attached,
Speaker 1: you know, they had just cut from their boy band
Speaker 1: Dictator and they were off on their own.
Speaker 2: They had more freedom.
Speaker 1: The next one, I do think is a world changing movie,
Speaker 1: and that is Gladiator, not only box office but award
Speaker 1: winning prestige.
Speaker 2: Tough one to evaluate, although we'd be kidding ourselves if
Speaker 2: every kid from like ten to sixteen didn't have this
Speaker 2: as like their favorite movie at the time.
Speaker 1: Think of the parodies. Think of the quote ability.
Speaker 2: And I also liked the aspect because we've gotten away
Speaker 2: from it, but we're sort of getting back to it
Speaker 2: where blockbuster successes can also win the major awards, which
Speaker 2: this movie did. Did it change the world? Though? All right,
Speaker 2: go stamped it. I sanded out one stepped out for me?
Speaker 1: All right, the next one and you've already had it
Speaker 1: as what did you give it? Uh?
Speaker 2: This was uh let me scroll at the top. He
Speaker 2: real quick, this was the most likely to succeed Okay,
Speaker 2: comic book movies as a result, right, this movie.
Speaker 1: So I think that X Men did do a lot,
Speaker 1: and I think this is the future for X Men
Speaker 1: because I think that the next year, Spider Man changed
Speaker 1: the world, even though Spider Man was twenty oh two.
Speaker 2: Right, spider Man might have been two thousand and two,
Speaker 2: It could have been two thousand and one, but this
Speaker 2: was first, that's right now.
Speaker 1: I know it's first, but Spider Man took what was
Speaker 1: good about this and also I think brought in a
Speaker 1: whole new audience as well.
Speaker 2: Well. That's why I think the difference here is like
Speaker 2: X Men, this is a future spider Man would be
Speaker 2: change the world.
Speaker 1: This is days of Future Past.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, we put it above Big Brother, by the way, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I appreciate that thing.
Speaker 1: A movie that not only hit with our age range,
Speaker 1: but I feel like every older person was also in
Speaker 1: on this comedy, and that was Meet the Fokers.
Speaker 2: It's for sure a lasting impact because everyone's made Gaylord
Speaker 2: Falker jokes and it's directly referencing this movie, you know.
Speaker 2: So it it's not even like rewatchability. It's just okay,
Speaker 2: no rewatchability. It's really funny rewatchability. It makes you love
Speaker 2: Owen Wilson's character that much more. It's it's good.
Speaker 1: It's a good de Naro's first dip into comedy. I
Speaker 1: don't know about that, so I think that's also plays
Speaker 1: a huge thing. This is before de Naro was paying
Speaker 1: child support and live support to all these x's and stuff,
Speaker 1: and he was just just doing things for the love
Speaker 1: of it.
Speaker 2: Jinxy Cat shout out, chinxy Cat.
Speaker 1: I could use the toilet, all right, So we have
Speaker 1: it in lasting impact. It's above Charles Schultz but behind
Speaker 1: Destiny's Childhood in Sync.
Speaker 2: All right, that's fair.
Speaker 1: But what about Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Speaker 2: This was a smash, so it's for sure got to
Speaker 2: be below X Men and Gladiator. But I still might
Speaker 2: think it's like this is the future because it's like
Speaker 2: it's really creative movie making and not this is like
Speaker 2: sort of what the Matrix did right, a little bit
Speaker 2: of that where it's like, oh, we can do shit
Speaker 2: like this in movies. Like technology and practical stuff has
Speaker 2: sort of like made this possible. So I would say
Speaker 2: this is the future, which is weird because no one
Speaker 2: really talks about that movie. You know, I haven't heard
Speaker 2: anyone bring up that movie in forever, but this for
Speaker 2: sure the future of movie making.
Speaker 1: It's weird where it's the future but it's not lasting impact. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I'm kind of just wasn't a blip on
Speaker 1: the radar. It could be.
Speaker 2: It might be I don't feel strongly enough about the
Speaker 2: movie to it's not pointless.
Speaker 1: The cops say it matters.
Speaker 2: No, it's not pointless. I agree.
Speaker 1: Fuck, this might get moved at the end, by the way,
Speaker 1: we'll go back through all these at the end and
Speaker 1: move some stuff. Okay, this once again, we talked about
Speaker 1: it a bit earlier. Is Metallica VERSU Napster, And it
Speaker 1: was really Lars Ulrich who was constantly in the news
Speaker 1: trying to bring down So Metallica sued Napster, but before that,
Speaker 1: corporate fat cats already had sued Napster. There was already
Speaker 1: like right after Metallica did it, Doctor Dre also sued Napster,
Speaker 1: and there was a bit of a back and forth
Speaker 1: at MTV Awards and everything else where Lars called napsters
Speaker 1: users pussies. But then also at a rally when Lars
Speaker 1: was talking about this and taking questions, someone said to him,
Speaker 1: I found your music on Napster and then I bought
Speaker 1: your CDs, and Lars didn't know what to think.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we're smack dab in the middle of this
Speaker 2: era where buying CDs was still cool, having a CD
Speaker 2: selection was cool. However, a lot of what we were
Speaker 2: discovering was like, hey, we can just like MP three's
Speaker 2: were on the horizon and we were gonna be able
Speaker 2: to have all that storage on a small device and
Speaker 2: play it in your car. But there is a point
Speaker 2: to that you could download music that you maybe liked
Speaker 2: and then eventually you would that was still common practice
Speaker 2: to buy an album, you know, to me, you know,
Speaker 2: the argument amongst the whole thing aside I think this
Speaker 2: changed the world because what this led to was the
Speaker 2: streaming services for music we have today. Right, they had
Speaker 2: to figure out how the artists and how the companies
Speaker 2: could get their cut of the streaming stuff, and it
Speaker 2: took a decade for them to figure it out, and
Speaker 2: more than then some I ended up buying so much
Speaker 2: music on iTunes. I had like ten thousand songs on iTunes,
Speaker 2: and then they just poop pooed that away because it
Speaker 2: all went to the shared streaming on Apple Music and
Speaker 2: on Spotify. But that all began because of stuff like
Speaker 2: the suits against Napster.
Speaker 1: Lars also did a very odd MTV Award sketch with
Speaker 1: Marlon Wayne where he's like, oh, I can just steal
Speaker 1: all your stuff too. Then then he stole his girlfriend
Speaker 1: he put a sticker on her bum. He also got
Speaker 1: into many arguments. Was Sean Fanning at those at those
Speaker 1: awards and I believe Napster. Were they found guilty of
Speaker 1: aiding and abetting copyright infringement or was that what they
Speaker 1: were accused of. I know that they did eventually become
Speaker 1: like a like a pay streaming type of thing, but
Speaker 1: they couldn't make money off it, so they were like,
Speaker 1: we can't do anything with this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And then the funny part is like it didn't
Speaker 2: even matter, Like we were mad because naps is the
Speaker 2: one we used, but then we just switched to like
Speaker 2: four different streaming. There was always a new Napster. We
Speaker 2: were always ahead of it. You know.
Speaker 1: It was always funny about like Napster and LimeWire is
Speaker 1: that usually when you found a song that you really liked,
Speaker 1: it was the wrong song or they put the wrong
Speaker 1: artist on it. They're like, oh, this has led Zeppelin's
Speaker 1: Magic Carpet, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, or there was like a DJ tag at terrible
Speaker 2: parts of the song. But like, so I see Limewires
Speaker 2: coming up here next, so maybe we should just jump
Speaker 2: to that. LimeWire was like the third or fourth iteration
Speaker 2: for me. There was bear Share and there was other stuff.
Speaker 2: I didn't really get into LimeWire until maybe three to
Speaker 2: oh four, So.
Speaker 1: We do blip on the radar for LimeWire.
Speaker 2: I ended up using LimeWire for longer than I use Napster.
Speaker 2: So yeah, go lasting impact on LimeWire.
Speaker 1: Lasting impact because you.
Speaker 2: Could frost Wire was a blip on the radar.
Speaker 1: You could download videos on there too, and you could
Speaker 1: ruin your computer.
Speaker 2: Some real naughty ones.
Speaker 1: You could destroy your computer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had. I had a little father son convo
Speaker 2: one day about things that were being downloaded on the computer.
Speaker 2: It you know my father, I had this conversation with
Speaker 2: him recently. He had to have a little sit down
Speaker 2: with me because my stepmother scrolled across something on the
Speaker 2: computer and I knew, at eleven years old how to
Speaker 2: delete cookies in history and whatnot. So when I was
Speaker 2: getting talking to I'm like, motherfucker, what did I miss?
Speaker 2: How did I miss it? I'm not I'm usually pretty
Speaker 2: smooth criminal here. I'm clean with my work. Years later,
Speaker 2: now that I know more about who my father is,
Speaker 2: I said, motherfucker, is that you? You're the one and you
Speaker 2: threw me under the bus. And I'm like, you know what,
Speaker 2: that's fair. That's fair. I'll take that one. Take that
Speaker 2: one on the chin.
Speaker 1: We had a similar issue where someone at my house
Speaker 1: recorded late night cinemax and obviously everyone's gonna throw the
Speaker 1: blame on me. Yeah, I'm like, why would I why
Speaker 1: would I record it? I'm awake at that time. The
Speaker 1: mystery was never solved. Yeah, but let's just say I
Speaker 1: know it was my father.
Speaker 2: To be fair, there were a couple of culprits in
Speaker 2: that home, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: Let's go on to oh ellon Gonzalez, the boy who
Speaker 1: was saved by dolphins.
Speaker 2: You know what, I think it was our first pointless
Speaker 2: one here, right, It wasn't even really it was like
Speaker 2: newsworthy back then. The first time I heard Alian Gonzalz's
Speaker 2: name and years I was like, ah, yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 2: I guess that was kind of pointless. And the cops,
Speaker 2: the United States cops outright said Elian Gonzalez doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: He became a politician though, And yeah, dolphins found him
Speaker 1: at sea and they swam him to land.
Speaker 2: It also sounds like that might have been complete bullshit,
Speaker 2: just might have been a young kid fucking being delusional.
Speaker 2: So you know, there it.
Speaker 1: Was changing the world. Would be Eminem's second studio album,
Speaker 1: the LP Slim Shady.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's better than I think. It was
Speaker 2: Marshall Mathers' second LP, right, the first one was some
Speaker 2: shadio I don't don't remember.
Speaker 1: It was Slim Shady Marshall Mathers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, amazing album, And like those first two albums are
Speaker 2: both such a crazy combination of fun, funny rap and
Speaker 2: angry rap, and it just really it really hit with
Speaker 2: angsty teens that the same way that like early nineties
Speaker 2: fucking rock music did. Somehow Eminem captured.
Speaker 1: That and then playing into the into the lore of Eminem,
Speaker 1: into the backstory of Eminem, would be his mother who
Speaker 1: sued him, not for this album, but for his prior album.
Speaker 1: I believe it was the Slim Shady EP. Was it
Speaker 1: the EP?
Speaker 2: I think there were all LP's Okay, she also came
Speaker 2: out with her own album. It might have been the
Speaker 2: next year that she came out with her whole album.
Speaker 2: I think she completely lost that suit as well. But
Speaker 2: he does, I think talk about like killing her quite
Speaker 2: a bit in his musick, so I why she'd be mad.
Speaker 2: But also, you raised or didn't raise this person you
Speaker 2: were just supposed to pointless, pointless.
Speaker 1: The cops say that she doesn't matter. How about Survivor,
Speaker 1: you love Survivor.
Speaker 2: Survivor changed the world. There's so many copycat versions of
Speaker 2: this show too. Of hey, let's take these normal people,
Speaker 2: put them out in the wilderness and see how they survive,
Speaker 2: you know, And of course Survivor's different in many aspects.
Speaker 2: But it so many. There's more copycat shows of Survivor
Speaker 2: than there is Big Brother.
Speaker 1: The big wedding of the year was Brad Pitt and
Speaker 1: Jennifer Aniston. Sadly they did not last beyond twenty five
Speaker 1: or six when mister and Missus Smith came out a
Speaker 1: very sexy movie five. I think, yeah, great movie, underrated movie.
Speaker 1: He was also in an episode of Friends. He sure was.
Speaker 1: It wasn't this year, but.
Speaker 2: Uh, it actually might. It was probably it might have
Speaker 2: been in the year two thousand, he was.
Speaker 1: I think it was around that year. It might have
Speaker 1: been one or oh two, though it was a Thanksgiving episode.
Speaker 2: I don't know how to how to rank. This obviously
Speaker 2: not really a lasting impact.
Speaker 1: Because no one really, no one talks about it. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: maybe it was a blip then, I know, but I
Speaker 1: think they're going to get back together soon.
Speaker 2: But it's definitely not this is the future. They didn't
Speaker 2: change the world. But I don't think they had a
Speaker 2: lasting impact.
Speaker 1: No, because I look at Branjelina as having more of
Speaker 1: a lasting impact for sure, and they've also split, so.
Speaker 2: This is like blip blip Because Branjelina also gave us
Speaker 2: that nickname. We didn't have Braniston and Brenifer. You know, benefer,
Speaker 2: but that was Ben. That was Ben, and I mean more.
Speaker 1: Than one benefit. All right, Mac, sad news for you.
Speaker 1: You didn't show up to school a week after this happened,
Speaker 1: and that was when Katz closed its run on Broadway.
Speaker 2: I didn't know. I didn't know Katz was out that
Speaker 2: long ago. I don't know how to evaluate this. I'm
Speaker 2: I've been getting into theater in stage shows more in
Speaker 2: the last decade of my life, but I'd say Kats
Speaker 2: is pointless. I'd also say even people that like Broadway
Speaker 2: in theater shows aren't bragging about Cats.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Mack had two rough weeks in the year two thousand.
Speaker 1: We had to keep an eye on him. We had
Speaker 1: to take his shoelaces when Cats and Charles Schultz passed away.
Speaker 1: One that I'm not sure. I think it did take
Speaker 1: off at the beginning, but then didn't hit its true
Speaker 1: stride for like three or four years, and that would
Speaker 1: be curb your enthusiasm.
Speaker 2: I almost disagree. I thought it was really strong to start,
Speaker 2: and then there was it got it kind of petered
Speaker 2: out a little bit until.
Speaker 1: The I'm saying popularity wise, I think popularity wise, or
Speaker 1: even the quality of show. When Leon joined the show,
Speaker 1: that's when the quality of show truly stepped up.
Speaker 2: I also think though this was a bit of proof
Speaker 2: of concept for HBO, like they had Larry Sanders show too,
Speaker 2: but like having more quirky comedies was not that common charless.
Speaker 2: This helped a lot, but it didn't change the world
Speaker 2: or did it. Like our R rated comedy like this
Speaker 2: to to be as successful as it was, like that
Speaker 2: is sort of is it the future? Then lasting impact?
Speaker 1: But it was when people needed more Seinfeld stuff. Seinfeld
Speaker 1: had just ended. They needed more Seinfeld stuff and this
Speaker 1: was Seinfeld stuff.
Speaker 2: So what would you say, lasting impact? Future?
Speaker 1: This is the future?
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm okay with that.
Speaker 1: The next one up here, Oh, the Subway series the
Speaker 1: Yankees and Mets.
Speaker 2: Sorry, I was coughing thinking about Mike Piazza or Roger kle.
Speaker 1: That's what that's my first thought is Roger Clemens threw
Speaker 1: a bat at Mike Piazza.
Speaker 2: I think it's just a blip on the radar, right,
Speaker 2: I don't know I can name that entirely swept the series?
Speaker 1: Did the Mets might have taken game three. What a
Speaker 1: memorable Mets team though you had Mike Piazza, Robin Ventura
Speaker 1: at Guardo Alfonso.
Speaker 2: You know who I hate?
Speaker 1: Who's that?
Speaker 2: Scott Brocius.
Speaker 1: I mean we all hate Scott Barrocious. What a bitch
Speaker 1: Subway series A blip on the radar.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm cool with that.
Speaker 1: There was a presidential election m and outside of the
Speaker 1: politics of it all, we might have had our best
Speaker 1: SNL run when it came to We had Will Ferrell
Speaker 1: introducing his George W. Bush versus Daryl Hammond's Locke box
Speaker 1: Al Gore.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so good, so fucking good.
Speaker 1: Will Ferrell might have he created the pinnacle of what
Speaker 1: a presidential impression should be with this. This might have
Speaker 1: changed the world.
Speaker 2: Will Ferrell's George W. Was so good he got his
Speaker 2: own Broadway show. He did. It might have been off Broadway,
Speaker 2: but he did a whole hour and a half of
Speaker 2: just him as George Bush.
Speaker 1: Also turned him from a star like everyone knew that
Speaker 1: he was the funniest person on as to being a
Speaker 1: true superstar.
Speaker 2: It proved, it proved he could carry something significant, something
Speaker 2: beyond SNL. I don't know if I would yeah, change
Speaker 2: the world.
Speaker 1: I don't know that's too late.
Speaker 2: It's a second stamp.
Speaker 1: Okay. So this next one, I was, I was confused
Speaker 1: the other Billy D made these for us. It was
Speaker 1: very nice of them. They're kind of confusing sometimes. This
Speaker 1: next one is the actual election of Bush versus Gore,
Speaker 1: and I find this to be kind of boring.
Speaker 2: Well, let me let me frame it for you this way.
Speaker 2: Bill Clinton was a moderately, moderately successful president.
Speaker 1: Pretty well, you're getting poly charged, right.
Speaker 2: Even with the Lewinsky stuff in the impeachment, people still
Speaker 2: really liked Bill and so his vice president seemed like
Speaker 2: the natural next character.
Speaker 1: But he was.
Speaker 2: You have the president pre Clinton, George H. W. Bush.
Speaker 2: Now his son is up. So it's a fascinating clash
Speaker 2: of worlds, not even ideologies, but because they really weren't
Speaker 2: that far apart. But what came of this and what
Speaker 2: the lasting impact is, if not beyond, is most people
Speaker 2: did not know that you could lose the presidential election
Speaker 2: but win the popular vote. Al Gore had more people
Speaker 2: vote for him in the year two thousand than George W.
Speaker 2: Bush did. And there's a lot of people that found
Speaker 2: out during the ensuing months that it was possible for
Speaker 2: you to have less people vote for you yet still
Speaker 2: win the presidency. So that was significant in and of itself.
Speaker 2: And now, if you want to get geopolitical, Bush winning
Speaker 2: really fucked like he he's the likable personality, but his
Speaker 2: presidency was pretty fucking awful.
Speaker 1: Okay, So what would you rank higher, the actual election
Speaker 1: or the recount?
Speaker 2: So the recount got crazy too because his brother was involved,
Speaker 2: Jeb Bush and Florida and their voting system was fucked,
Speaker 2: so probably in the same tier. They kind of go
Speaker 2: hand in hand. So it's not the future. But it
Speaker 2: did change stuff, so lasting impact, i'd say for at least,
Speaker 2: but like the Bush presidency did change the geopolitical landscape
Speaker 2: of the whole world though, so put Bush Gore changed
Speaker 2: the world. Put the recount lasting impact.
Speaker 1: I have no stamps, although I couldn't move things if
Speaker 1: I really wanted to.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna stamp Bush first, Gore. There you go,
Speaker 2: all right?
Speaker 1: Was that your second stamp?
Speaker 2: That was my second stamp.
Speaker 1: But we each have stamper movers, if I so please,
Speaker 1: that's right, all right? The next one here, Billy did
Speaker 1: mess it up a little bit. It is the opening
Speaker 1: of three new Major League stadiums. We had the San
Speaker 1: Francisco Giants, the Houston Astros, and the Detroit Tigers. They
Speaker 1: all opened new stadiums. He did put the New York
Speaker 1: Giants in here. I should have been a little more clear.
Speaker 1: Two of them are beautiful ballparks. One of them they
Speaker 1: actually had to move the fences in when they first
Speaker 1: opened the Tigers ballpark, and I believe Juan Gonzales was
Speaker 1: on the team at the time. He complained because he
Speaker 1: flew out so many times. He's like, can you move
Speaker 1: these fences in?
Speaker 2: I believe it was the deepest left field and left
Speaker 2: center in Major League Baseball, and then it was like
Speaker 2: four to ten to dead center. So they moved them
Speaker 2: in almost immediately. And also like, if you look at
Speaker 2: all the ballparks built in that ten to twenty year span,
Speaker 2: it's got no discernible features. You don't look forward to
Speaker 2: playing there.
Speaker 1: Well, well, Houston has the train, Houston has the hill
Speaker 1: in center field, even the.
Speaker 2: Hill with the flagpole was notable. The pack Bell is
Speaker 2: an all time great ballpark. That's when you're talking short
Speaker 2: list of like greatest ballparks ever. San franciscoes up there.
Speaker 2: The future, the Pittsburgh is up. Yeah, this is the
Speaker 2: future is a good one. Heh yeah, I agree.
Speaker 1: How about pitch man Billy Mays, that's when he burst
Speaker 1: on the scene.
Speaker 2: All that shit has kind of gone away now, but
Speaker 2: from two thousand to like what twenty fifteen or twenty ten,
Speaker 2: get all these late night infomercial guys like this that
Speaker 2: were maybe a blot by the radar and a fad,
Speaker 2: not pointless, though not pointless.
Speaker 1: It's his first infomercial.
Speaker 2: He was the oxy clean guy?
Speaker 1: Was oxy Clean? Was his first one? Right?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think so, King of the Pitch, I know that.
Speaker 1: But what was his first? Oxy Clean? Is his first one?
Speaker 1: You're right? Okay? Oxy clean? And then he did flex
Speaker 1: seal correct, Yes, that's right, Billy Mays. What did you say?
Speaker 1: Blip on the radar?
Speaker 2: It could be lasting impact.
Speaker 1: Though I would say lasting impact. I would then look
Speaker 1: at someone like the like the sham Wow guy who
Speaker 1: bit off his tongue. He's more of a blip on
Speaker 1: the radar, the jack chop guy. Okay, Mac, is there
Speaker 1: anything on this tier that you want to move around?
Speaker 1: I feel, I mean, I don't know enough about the situation,
Speaker 1: apparently to argue changing the world of Bush v. Gore.
Speaker 2: He guess on a serious note, it did change the world,
Speaker 2: that a George W. Bush presidency fundamentally changed the landscape
Speaker 2: of the world.
Speaker 1: But not as much as the PlayStation too.
Speaker 2: No, that's why it's above the play station.
Speaker 1: It's at the back end of change the world.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a Gladiator apparently some more impactful than a GW.
Speaker 2: Bush presidency.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Russell Crowe won an Academy Award. I'm pretty sure didn't.
Speaker 2: They did both win.
Speaker 1: All right, let's start at the bottom here. The bottom
Speaker 1: tier is pointless. The cops say it doesn't matter. We
Speaker 1: have the Eli and Gonzales saga. We have Marshall Mathers
Speaker 1: mother suing Mathers, and then we have Cats ending its
Speaker 1: Broadway run, just a blip on the radar, a fad.
Speaker 1: We had Y two K surviving Y two K because
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety nine it's gonna be higher up. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: the Sydney Summer Olympics, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston getting married,
Speaker 1: and the Subway series in lasting impact, we have the
Speaker 1: Nokia thirty three ten. Thinking of then, we had Destiny's Child.
Speaker 1: I'd go a little bit higher, but I've used my
Speaker 1: moves and you stamped it, so I can't even say
Speaker 1: anything actually and sinc no strings attached that specific album,
Speaker 1: Meet the Parents, the Six Flags Guy, Charles Schultz, passing Away, LimeWire,
Speaker 1: the Runoff or the Recount of the Bush Gore election,
Speaker 1: Billy Mays and TRL that I think should not count,
Speaker 1: and it's on here by mistake. This is the future
Speaker 1: is X Men, Big Brother season one, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,
Speaker 1: But that also might be a blip on the radar.
Speaker 1: We don't know it. We always knows the cops say
Speaker 1: it does. Curbs season one and the opening of new
Speaker 1: ballpark stadiums all over the country three if you want
Speaker 1: to count those, and then finally changing the World's the
Speaker 1: PlayStation two, Gladiator, The Slim Shady, Oh marsh sorry Marshall
Speaker 1: Mathers LP. I always confuse the first three. Those are
Speaker 1: very good albums, though, Lars Ulrich versus Napster Survivor the
Speaker 1: first season Will Ferrell as George W. Bush, and then
Speaker 1: finally Bush v. Gore.
Speaker 2: There it is Stamp, It combined Stamp. That is our
Speaker 2: our tier for the year two thousand. How did Cisco
Speaker 2: not make it under.
Speaker 1: This so he technically burst onto the scene in ninety
Speaker 1: nine and I actually might have had Cisco on here
Speaker 1: and we just forgot to put him in this area.
Speaker 1: But as long as you had him in the superlatives,
Speaker 1: we're all.
Speaker 2: Said, yeah, say look at that song.
Speaker 1: Song dominated the summer. He could do a one handed cartwheel.
Speaker 2: I mean we all wanted silver hair at one point.
Speaker 1: You know, let's get into Maxack and Mac. Sac could
Speaker 1: be anything. It could be a boat. In this week, Mac,
Speaker 1: I have a question for you. This is after a
Speaker 1: Kentucky man was banned from a busy bar, most likely
Speaker 1: for drinking too much, he released a wild raccoon in
Speaker 1: that bar. I'm going to ask you, as an animal expert,
Speaker 1: what is the best varmin to find outside of an
Speaker 1: establishment and release into their out of revenge or out
Speaker 1: of spite to like cause chaos, cause chaos.
Speaker 2: So there has to be they have to be like
Speaker 2: somewhat readily available, right, Yeah. Raccoons are kind of cute.
Speaker 2: People kind of like them. They are bigger than you
Speaker 2: would expect. Sometimes possums are real gross looking, real gross looking,
Speaker 2: and people don't find them cute at all. So maybe
Speaker 2: possum over raccoon. But I'm trying to think there's like
Speaker 2: nothing else you can really like catch and release. That's
Speaker 2: that big a squirrel. A squirrel could be a menace.
Speaker 2: A squirrel could climb way, way better than a possum can.
Speaker 2: So maybe it's a squirrel and they're quick as fuck.
Speaker 1: I'm also thinking, you know, a raccoon, you got to
Speaker 1: use two hands. A squirrel, you can do two squirrels,
Speaker 1: one in each hand, and then throw two squirrels in there.
Speaker 2: I think you have a way better chance of catching
Speaker 2: a raccoon than you do a squirrel.
Speaker 1: Guys, go to the comment section right now on YouTube
Speaker 1: and let us know. Also into his room you have
Speaker 1: to find only too fine guideon's bible. But a skunk,
Speaker 1: it's stay.
Speaker 2: Oh good, one great, No, that's the answer. Skunk. They're
Speaker 2: less common and you'd probably get sprayed catching it. But
Speaker 2: if you don't and you're able to inhibit the spray
Speaker 2: until you put it into a room, skunks the answer.
Speaker 1: Oh, but a skunk, it needs like a second to
Speaker 1: get it sack ready to spray you. So if you
Speaker 1: find it, you take it and you fucking grenade it
Speaker 1: in there.
Speaker 2: Just eat it in you kind of need a two
Speaker 2: man system. Guy, someone's gonna hold the door open while
Speaker 2: you get the skunk and eat it.
Speaker 1: What if you're inside the bar and you're being thrown out,
Speaker 1: and as you're being thrown out, you eye this skunk,
Speaker 1: you could punt them in and then as the guy
Speaker 1: is throwing you out of I believe I would assume
Speaker 1: saloon doors those are gonna swing open, so you as
Speaker 1: being thrown out, fucking pick it up, and no marr
Speaker 1: back in before the guy closes the door.
Speaker 2: No mar from the hole. Uh yeah, sky I skunk's
Speaker 2: the answer. And if the skunk's not around, there'll be
Speaker 2: a squirrel for sure. Birds could be kind of a
Speaker 2: mess too, But I don't know how you're gonna catch
Speaker 2: a bird.
Speaker 1: About bats, I don't know how you're gonna catch one
Speaker 1: tennis racket trash bag.
Speaker 2: Okay, there you go.
Speaker 1: I'll use the tools I have in my trunk. I
Speaker 1: have a lady across the street from me right now,
Speaker 1: by the way, I live in a city that is
Speaker 1: known for rats.
Speaker 2: Yes, every rat city.
Speaker 1: They dump bird seed pigeon feed all over their driveway,
Speaker 1: front yard and porch. Yeah, the entire street is now
Speaker 1: covered in pigeons.
Speaker 2: Yeah, pigeons and whatever they don't get rats are finishing up.
Speaker 2: So she's not only contributing to the bird shit on
Speaker 2: everyone's vehicles, she's helping the rat population sustain themselves. And you,
Speaker 2: living in rat city, you will have long known that
Speaker 2: you could do the best you can on your property.
Speaker 2: But the dickhead next door is feeding them trash. You
Speaker 2: ain't gonna get rid of the rats.
Speaker 1: Yesterday, as I was leaving my house, there were fifty
Speaker 1: pigeons in my driveway and my son had to see
Speaker 1: me act like a psychopath put my hands in the
Speaker 1: air as they all flew away. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: So this is the LIFEI.
Speaker 2: Turkey maybe really a turkey into the bar.
Speaker 1: The turkeys are real stupid animals.
Speaker 2: They're big as fuck too.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: You have seen a turkey fly, it's fascinating.
Speaker 1: Oh, I've seen them like jump, I've never seen them
Speaker 1: really fly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they have to get like a running head. Starkers
Speaker 2: are so heavy and then they just can like fly
Speaker 2: up to like tree height and then they're out of breath.
Speaker 2: They're done. They gotta stop.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Last year at my parents' house, I had to
Speaker 1: go so we knew that there was one turkey outside,
Speaker 1: but I also needed to get something outside, so I sprinted,
Speaker 1: got it, turned around, and as I was going back
Speaker 1: toward the door, there was another one of these motherfuckers
Speaker 1: on top of the roof, staring down at the door,
Speaker 1: and I'm like.
Speaker 2: Ah, yeah, they sleep in trees.
Speaker 1: Yeah, turkey sleeping trees, just like Tarzan.
Speaker 2: They just disappear at night into the fucking into the tree.
