Booyah 90s Now

Booyah 90s Sports. Ewing keeps Anthony Mason calm. Mad Max goes off for like 2 points. Things come down to the wire. And a beloved sports hero rides in the back of a White Bronco while Tom Brokaw narrates. Just America, folks.

Originally recorded in June 2017.

It's the first ever appearance of Steve Urkel's alter ego Stefan Urquelle on season 5, episode 8 of Family Matters. Laura barely discourages Steve from risking his life to change for her. Twice. And we talk about street signs, hunks, PE class heroics, TGIF, and other stuff.

Booyah 90s Sports. March 27, 1992: the most significant day in the history of sports movies. Rodney Dangerfield made Jonathan Brandis wear a wig to dominate girls' soccer in Ladybugs. D.B. Sweeney & Moira Kelly united hockey and ice skating to achieve Olympic glory in The Cutting Edge. And Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes talked trash, no-look passed, and hustled their way through the LA streetball scene in White Men Can't Jump. This week on Booyah, we're talking about childhoods full of racism, dunking, gambling addiction, Jeopardy!, and one of the best basketball movies of all time. And Rosie Perez.

The Pedro & Puck rivalry heats up & we talk about "Everybody Hurts," people kissing Madonna, Wonder Bra puns, slapping folks, and whether or not there's anything more to understand about bigots beyond the obvious: they're awful and wrong.

Booyah 90s Now.

Our old buddy Matthew drops in to talk about Christmas Vacation and Santa Claus: The Movie, plus stuff like how Robert celebrates secular US pop culture consumerism Christmas and how guardian angels hang out while teenagers sneak away from boarding schools to watch Tom Selleck movies.

In our first dive into a daytime talk show, we drop in on Phil Donahue jugging steroids and abuse scandals in the WWF. Vince McMahon, Superstar Billy Graham, Dave Meltzer, and about 19 other people make accusations, lob defenses, and generally create a nicely strange mess of a conversation about tough issues in a weird business.

Booyah 90s Sports. We jump back to 1999 to watch Billy Gunn and Stone Cold and The Rock and Road Dogg. Man, the WWF was bonkers. Plus, this was back when Stella was getting her groove back and, I don't know, Bill Clinton was probably doing something. We recorded this a long time ago. It's pretty fun.

Bobby Hill learns some sex education, just like Rob & Joe did way back in the 90s — except Bobby learns from his mom while Joe learned from a couple of Deans and Rob learned from beefcake coach Sarah Powell. It's 1997, so the internet sucks and Third Rock from the Sun is an Emmy Award-winning comedy. And, of course, everybody was engorged with milk. 

King of the Hill is on Hulu now, which is cool.

Sometimes when you finally sleep with the man you love, who's hundreds of years older than you, he turns into a horrible villain and you have to fight him near mall bathrooms. We're talking Joe's favorite campy teenage vampire, first date flowers, French teachers, marriage proposals, and the births of sons this week on Booyah.
