Less Than 2000

What better way to blow off some steam than to blow up some killer robots? Terminator 2: Judgement Day was one of the most memorable arcade games of the 90’s.  With Arnold Schwarzenegger’s voice and likeness, and the most satisfying gaming machine guns ever made, it was hard not to spend all your tokens on this one game.  Chad confesses about his shortcomings as a gamer, and Adam waxes nostalgic about the sights and sounds of old school arcades in the early 90’s.

In 1996 Chris Rock took the world by storm with a stand-up routine for the ages.  Equal parts offensive and thought-provoking, the landscape of comedy would never be the same again.  Chad provides deep cultural context while Adam delivers a performance that would make Michael Scott proud.

I desperately needed to use the bathroom because the only restaurant in existence is Taco Bell.  When I was done I couldn’t find any toilet paper, just a little shelf with three seashells on it, so I swore under my breath and got a fine for violating the verbal morality statute!  I tuned on the radio in my self-driving car and all I heard were commercial jingles from the 50’s.  I tried to kiss my girlfriend but she told me body fluid exchanges have been outlawed, along with red meat, contact sports, and non-educational toys.  The year is 2032.  Someone please send me back to the 90’s!

Adam and Chad are too young to have experienced the vanguard of punk music so they bring on a seasoned guest on to explain what life was like back in the day. Grizzled music aficionado Matt Miller reminisces about thumbing through LP sleeves at the record store, which was the style at the time. Our distinguished guest illuminates the boys about Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols and many other loud, angry, anti-authorization bands from the 70’s. Can our spry guest teach the young whippersnappers a thing or two about ancient history, and most importantly, put Adam in his place?

Get to the choppa!!  Who needs a complex plot when you have muscles, explosions, and one of the most iconic movie monsters of all time?  Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, and Jesse The Body Ventura bring the body mass… Adam and Chad bring the brains!

In Living Color was the hippest sketch comedy show of the early 90’s.  It gave the world the Wayans brothers, Jamie Foxx, Tommy Davidson and Jim Carrey.  So you know when the show took on the likes of MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice and Michael Jackson it was gonna be FIRE!

We kick off Season 3 with some real bollocks!  If you do an 80s/90s nostalgiacast, sooner or later you have to get around to Vanilla Ice.  To the Extreme was life changing for nine year old Adam and Chad.  Surely it holds up in 2022, right??  Adam provides plenty of enthusiastic rapping and Chad pretends to be too cool for old school.

Childhood friend, Patron, and superfan Michelle Phillips joins the show to boldly go where Adam and Chad have been too afraid to go on their own… a deep discussion of Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, and 90’s boy bands.  Michelle brings the enthusiasm of a teenage girl and intelligence of a full grown woman. She has seen boy bands live five times… as an adult!  Did Adam really listen to Backstreet Boys’ entire 90’s catalog to prepare for the show?  Does Chad really have a man-boy crush on Justin Timberlake?  Find out on this week’s episode!  You’ll feel like you just watched Total Request Live with Carson Daily.

Tonight’s Matchup: 90’s Wrestling versus Dawson’s Creek!  In the red corner, we have WWF Monday Night Raw and WCW Monday Nitro… in the blue corner, we have James Van Der Beek and Katie Holmes… set to square off in a no hold barred cage match!

 This was a thing in the late 90’s.  Kids got together for watch parties on Monday or Wednesday nights to watch their favorite shows with their friends.  Adam was on Team Wrasslin’ and Chad was on Team Dawson, and even though they grew up across the street, never did these two parties mix. 

Join us for a stimulating and hilarious debate as Adam and Chad defend their teenage life choices.  Believe it or not, it gets semi deep as they discuss how two best friends could be in such different places in life at the time.  It’s a heartwarming tale about how true BFFs always find a way back to each other.

 Chime in on Instagram and let us know what side you were on and who wins tonight’s Main Event!
