Booyah 90s Now

In a 1997 full of Rob grabbing rim and Joe aching to Boyz II Men, a bunch of Algerians get massacred, the old Grumpus still has all kinds of legs, and Faizon Love phones it in. This episode has a sex worker, a hot geek, one of the stranger fantasy sequences you'll ever see, and about three voices that burrowed into our brains forever. So we talked about that and more on this breezy Booyah.

Rob tells a truth. When you think of Travelocity, you'll think of a gnome. The Spice Girls probably weren't naked behind those chairs. Famous comedians think it's funny to say they're not aloud to the say the things they're getting paid a lot of money to say. It's easy to distract yourself from what's real and important. Liar Liar is about a horrible man. Jim Carey does things with his face that we all can do but don't have the courage to. Maybe someday we'll figure the truest, realest way to occupy our minds. Until then, we will watch stuff and talk about how it makes us feel.

Funky butt lovin! Hot ice! Booyah 90s Death is on the horizon. Somehow, Korn still has fans. Bruce Springsteen is a dynamo. British reggae white guys Elvis (make of that what you will). Rob ponders Daniel Stern's vanilla cast. Joe's got yet another nostalgia stiffy. Creed and Aaron Neville impressions are fun to do. Life can be special when Aerosmith or Janet Jackson is playing and your soul has not yet died.

Joe got a dog for no good reason. Rob likes Full House and Mixed-ish and any other show that's nice to look at and doesn't ask him to consider a second dimension. Jason Momoa is probably good at sex. Goof Troop animation is doo doo. If you are a human, you'll probably feel nice when Michael J Fox talks. Homeward Bound has good wholesome lessons. So does Booyah. Just kidding. There are no lessons here. Just dog talk and whistling wind and John Stamos eating chicken.

Joe is a gambling addict. Rob failed at poker like he failed at stand-up comedy. Rounders is about a loser, but it pretends to be about a winner. John Malkovich's Russian mobster is so over the top it's stupid and Joe loves it. Edward Norton is a good actor. Matt Damon is handsome and smart. Rob and Joe are jealous of Matt Damon's life. They should do therapy.

While Louis CK's public persona was impacting young Rob and young Joe, CK was privately behaving like human trash. In this Booyah, we discuss our muddy opinions about this comedy icon cum pariah. Plus we talk Rosanne Barr, Dave Chappelle, trans rights, long lost friends, Rob's attempt at being an intellectual, twitter, Russian bots, Jaqcues Lacan, bad words, and a whole heck of a lot of jokes. We've been hesitant to discuss Louis, since his name alone carries so much baggage, but we finally gave it a go. The end result: a conversation that was honest, critical, and fun. You should listen to it.

It's the end of the world as the Sinclairs knew it on the series finale of ABC's muppety Dinosaurs show. My friend said it would be a real accomplishment to talk about Dinosaurs without saying "not the momma," but he said that long after we recorded this and said "not the momma" already. That baby was cute and had catchphrases because catchphrases are all that matter in American media. Joe's back from his Christmas trip. I yelled at my mother-in-law in a Kroger parking lot because she wanted me to eat cheese. Then I watched wrestling & drank a bottle of wine. None of that has anything to do with this episode of Booyah, if that matters to you. You don't have to read this, you know. You can just listen. We appreciate you either way.

It was like 16 years of ongoing frustration just burst out over some low-fat cheddar.

You have to write an episode description for Booyah. You sit at your computer and type these words. You're nervous that some buttheads will someday read these words and roll their eyes because the second person present tense ain't cool. Years ago, you and Robert were drawn to writing in the second person present tense. Maybe a lot of young writers are drawn to that POV because it's a cheat code that magically makes the writing seem urgent. But is it really a cheat code? You have no clue. All you know for sure is that this Booyah episode you're supposed to be describing makes you want to write something that is distinctly yours and nobody else's. It also makes you laugh a lot.
