Late August is often called the Dog Days of Summer and...boy, did the end of August 1999 every live up that reputation!

August 16-31 was something of a drag. After a summer filled with huge moments in entertainment, culture, and news, suddenly, for a couple weeks, not much happened.

But not nothing! We still got the requisite end of summer bad movie dump, featuring:

Plus chart-topping albums from Christina Aguilera, The (Dixie) Chicks, and Lou Bega! Plus, pop singer Vitamin C drops the album that would give us 2000's graduation anthem "Graduation (Friends Forever)"!

Plus, Regis Philbin for the first time asks America, "Is that your FINAL ANSWER?"

Also...East Timor begins its journey to becoming a new country!

This week, John is joined by good friend of the show Julia Sirmons for the most boring two weeks (but a fun episode of) 99@25!
