Booyah 90s Now

Booyah 90s Sports. As the millennium came to a close, Joe humped pillows, Rob was nowhere, George Harrison got stabbed 40 times, and the Toronto Raptors and Dallas Mavericks engaged in a swish-filled dunkfest. Dirk Nowitzki played literally perfect basketball. Michael Finley angrily untucked his shirt. Vince Carter helped Tracy McGrady become a social butterfly. And an aging Muggsy Bogues was still a phenomenal gimmick.

Man, I don't know what's in this one. Half of what we recorded ended up in a special "cutting room floor" file because we were all over the place. There was stuff about, like, King of the Hill, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, tornadoes, all kinds of songs. Who knows. Anyway.

Booyah 90s Sports. Back when little boy Joe hid in clothing racks and Robert rushed home to watch TaleSpin, all white America knew about rap was that it scared them. But then Will Smith said funny things while wearing baggy clothes, and hip hop took over the mainstream pop charts. We’re back in 1990 this week on Booyah, finding out if The Fresh Prince could really play basketball and basking in the glory of Uncle Phil’s deep voice and wisdom.

In life, we spend too much time trying to think of stuff, and it's a pointless question. But with Booyah, it's all curiosity and jokes and stories. And on this episode, water go down the hooooole in one of the most memorable pieces of animation from our 90s childhoods. Plus, Bad Lieutenant, pretentious Madonna, still-evil Bush, and self-reflexive toons.

Booyah 90s Sports. This episode is made out of: Barry Sanders, Emmitt Smith, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Dan Rather, Al Michaels, Troy Aikman, throwback jerseys, referees in weird hats, and Scott Mitchell being like, “Et Tu, Lomas?” Joe’s brother calls into the show and talks about his experiences as a miserable child football player, and Rob talks about not playing football as a child because he thought it looked miserable. This is interesting stuff right here. You should listen.

Goats and farts still crack us up as we go back to a comedy album that gave us catchphrases and made us giggle as little 90s boys. Clinton clintons around with Alan Greenspan. The internet's gonna sell stuff. And Adam Sandler's entertaining America with angry hockey golfer Happy Gilmore on movie screens and genital-mad Mama on compact disc.

It's the fall of 1999. Rob just turned 18 to a soundtrack of Destiny's Child and Enrique Iglesias. Joe hustled hard to make a middle school basketball team. And absolutely nothing was going on in the news. But the Comets still existed and were seeking their third straight championship. Here at Booyah 90s Sports, we watch old games and talk about how they made us feel. This one made us feel...weird. Let's talk about it.

The recap of the July 7, 1995 Marmaduke comic strip you've been waiting for. Plus: What big red surprise did Joe's friend see in a certain kind of movie? Why can't Justin Walker put a dollar bill in his shirt pocket? How did Rob get that kid Eric to stop shaking his desk in 7th grade English? Was a certain person the star of Free Willy or a prison escapee? How did Joe get that beautiful smile of his? All of that and the 90s fashion & lingo that makes Clueless so watchable and fun.

Joe’s story about a peeing kid will have to wait, but Rob has a Schrödinger’s Cat memory of lying and/or not lying about wanting to see Sliver. Joe Carter was good. Several priests were bad. And UFC 1 was a weird-as-all-get-out pay-per-view with Royce Gracie hugging a dude, Gerard Gordeau kicking teeth loose, and Ken Shamrock shootfighting. We loved it. Love it with us.

After a long, honest talk about our own insecurities, fears, and anger, we talk about sweet old Fred Rogers, who seemed to charm everyone, including us, even though some of those puppets are pretty weird looking. We got a person swimming for a long time, some cool trolley art, an upside down tower, and at least one fun little song.
