Booyah 90s Ronnie

We watched an inane sitcom and talked about our brains instead.  I said last week that this would be out later, but the next episode we recorded for Patreon ended up being a kind of companion to this. So we figured we'd put this one out now and that Patreon episode out next week. Probably not necessary to explain that.

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, "Papa's Got a Brand New Excuse"

We watch old stuff and talk about how it makes us feel. Part personal reflection. Part cultural commentary. Some analysis. A lot of profanity. Sometimes smart. Often funny. Always friends sharing what it's like to be people who grew up in the media-saturated 90s, under the influence of all the moments, narratives, aesthetics, and absurdities that defined the time and us. Punch and pie.

Thanks for taking me back to my childhood guys great show

Awesome

Came for the sports, stayed for the straight-talk, humor, and nostalgia. Five stars, for sure.

Love of the 90's

Booyah 90s Now

Young Rob made bad jokes. Old Rob doesn't know how to pronounce Evangelion. Joe wants to pilot a megazord and be inherently special. American pop music is everywhere, just like Coca Cola and war. Rob is smart but doesn't pay attention to anything and that's why he doesn't read. Joe has no clue what a prairie is. Rob likes sexy anime ladies and distinctive creative choices. Joe likes Don Hertzfeldt and Chapo Trap House. Thanks, Stu, for the recommendation. You gave us a brand new experience and it was good. Booyah is a Synopsish show.

Seinfeld - "The Face Painter" (1995)

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.

1992 was The Year of Joe Pesci. And little kid Joe pilfering rated R VHS tapes from a babysitter's basement. And Rob setting sail with his Boat Dad. And a freshly de-ponytailed Steven Seagal cooking pies and wrecking lives on a big ship. We got cruisin nukes and cake dances and Busey teeth this week on Booyah.

Golden State Warriors at Charlotte Hornets (1994 NBA Basketball)

Louis CK

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. Booyah is a Synopsish show. Here’s the thing I say about that: Hi, I’m Rob.

Frasier - "Ham Radio" (1997)

Hey! You better hit that play button! Because if you do, you'll get to hear us wax eloquent about Taylor Dayne, Tig Notaro, sexual weightlifting, muscular puppets, buxom representations of April O'Neil, Fraggle Rock, Phil Collins, NFL Films, cult leaders, and a talking rat. Plus, Robert gets mad about how his home state of Texas is always represented by real scum bags, and Joe posits that TMNT is a stoner's fever dream. Grab some nunchucks and pizza, dudes and dudettes!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)

David Foster Wallace

David Foster Wallace was a stalker who wrote an essay about US fiction and television. Rob and Joe interrogate their relationships with this infamous writer and with literary fiction. They try to make sense of themselves as entertainment consumers and creative people. Rob unflinchingly talks about how once upon a 2013 writing took him down a rabbit hole of despair. It's really great. This conversation is earnest and sad and eventually hopeful. I, Joe, can't really do it justice in this description. That's why you should listen. Booyah is a Synopsish show.

David Foster Wallace - "E Unibus Pluram" (1993)

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 &amp; 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.

White Men Can't Jump (1992)

In our childhood Halloweens, we dressed up as Ghostbusters and Supermen and trick or treated our bags full of DumDums and Candy Corn. River Phoenix passed and the news was the exact same news as today's news: shootings, scandals, racism. Meanwhile, Nickelodeon threw a grown ups' cartoon right into the Doug &amp; Rugrats mix. Rocko's Modern Life is weird and a hoot. Plus, Joe dances topless in this one. Touch base here to suggest a show or tell a story about your life in the 90s. Booyah is a Synopsish show.

Rocko's Modern Life - "Leap Frogs & Bedfellows" (1993)

Jeffrey Dahmer

Stone Phillips

Joe used to live with Jeffrey Dahmer's ghost. Ace of Base made that song you definitely know. It's odd for a person to choose to be a Nazi. My Girl 2 ruined Rob's life. Joe found 7 full beer bottles buried in his chicken run. Some cops found 32 bodies buried under a clown's garage. There are people chained up in basements right now. Thank you, truckers, for keeping America going and murdering three people each. In 1999 Rob feared death and got a haircut and wrote mysteriously about how Jeffrey Dahmer could've led a more productive life if only he hadn't wasted so much precious time killing all those guys. Rob might not have empathy but he sure behaves like he does. Free will is not real. Choose to click play. Thanks. Booyah is a Synopsish show. Here’s the thing I say about that: Hi, I’m Rob.

Jeffrey Dahmer Interview with Stone Phillips (1994)

In our first dive into a daytime talk show, we drop in on Phil Donahue jugging steroids and abuse scandals in the WWF.

Donahue - World Wrestling Federation Scandals (1992)

Joe was in Mrs. Salami's class. Rob was writing bad songs and pining for girls. Americans were watching movies about how crappy it is to live a typical suburban, working stiff life.

Halloween Special: Scream (1997)

Bobby Hill learns some sex education, just like Rob &amp; 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.
