Speaker 4 (01:50):
Jay Stu, what was the year you can, Doug. I'll
take it from here. On West Day Night, I want
the listeners to take themselves back to nineteen ninety nine.
I like each participant on this show to think of
what you were doing in the year nineteen ninety nine,
because on this day, the sports world changed forever. We
were told that it was going to change forever, and
(02:12):
in indeed did. Twenty six later, we are still feeling
the effects of it. Brandy Chastain knocks in a penalty kick.
US women's soccer beats China and the World Cup final
and women's soccer, in fact, women's sports changed forever. There
was so much interest, it is so profitable, it's off
(02:34):
the charts. Congratulations to Brandy Chastain for being the person
to deliver that to US. The Women's World Cup soccer
team wins on this date twenty six years ago. Dan Byro,
when you think of nineteen ninety nine, what goes through
your mind?
Speaker 5 (02:51):
You're a graduated college fellas in the spring of nineteen nineteen.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Oh wow, yeh spring chicken man.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Yes, absolutely, nineteen ninety nine. We have the Open Championship
next week. Nineteen ninety nine may have been the pinnacle
of golf. You would have a tough time arguing you
had a better golf year than nineteen ninety nine. That
unfortunately ended in tragedy with the passing of Payne Stewart
(03:18):
in that plane crash. However, prior to that, Paine Stewart
made such great headlines with the win at the US
Open in nineteen ninety nine at Pinehurst number two, avenging
what happened the year before at the Olympic Club. It
was for Stewart his second US Open championship, and for
the runner up there was Phil Mickelson. Remember, Phil was
(03:39):
ready to leave the course in case his wife went
into labor with their first child. She ended up Amy
I believe, gave birth the next day to their first child.
But so many of us remember the late great paint
Stewart winning at Pinehurst number two. But it was also
the year that Van Derveld blew the lead at Carnousti
at the Open Championship, which I would love to talk
(04:01):
about by time permitting, I know we can't. Tiger got
back on the major train, winning the PGA Championship at Medina,
which was kind of the arrival of Sergio Garcia, and
then the Ryder Cup nineteen ninety nine. Ben Crenshaw, he
had a feeling about that on that Saturday night justin
Leonards Pott the whole deal as the US came back
(04:22):
and beat Europe at the country Club at Brookline. So
what a huge year for golf in nineteen ninety nine.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Nineteen ninety nine was the lockout shortened Spurs championship run.
They beat the New York Knickerbockers after a fifty game series.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
So shouting series, you should just do something fIF.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Fifty game season, sorry, fifty game season, seven game series.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Back to San Antonio, the Spurs up twenty two to fourteen.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Shaquille O'Neal led Leaguan's scoring was the MVP twenty thirty
points a game.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
With the Lakers with the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
And remember that was the year that the season began
with Michael Jordan announcing he's retiring from basketball to get
baseball a shot. Oh no, that was that was the
second retirement. This is the second This is the real retirement.
Ninety eight was the Utah game winner against Brian Russell.
(05:26):
Ninety nine was his first year that he didn't play
before he rejoined the Wizards later on his career.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
And of course, like that lockout, the only thing I
remember about that a lockout or that strike. Patrick Ewing
is going to be known for a lot of things.
I think he's a Hall of Famer, He's an awful
basketball coach, but he'll always, in my mind, be the
guy that was stupid enough to on in front of
reporters while they're talking about negotiations for salaries, say NBA
(05:56):
players make a lot of money, but we spend a
lot of money. Two. I'd like to know who he
thought he was playing to on that one. Who he thought, well,
he was getting the sympathy from the point Ewing.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
You know what else happened in basketball the year Final four,
Saint Petersburg, Florida never went back. I remember because Ohio
State made it on the shoulders of Scoony Penn and
Michael Red. Then Scoony Penn's jersey was stolen before the
national semi final State bad Omen because they got yukonned.
And then Yukon took out Duke, who everybody thought was
gonna win it, and Duke, yes was the huskies first
(06:36):
national championship under Jim Calhoun.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
I love Duke, that's right, that's the khalid la mean.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
We shocked the world. We shocked the world.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
I remember that player, wasn't he Wasn't he kind of
a chubster, wouldn't he?
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Yep?
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Not of definition on that nobody hoop. But I love
those guys. Yeah, I love chubby guys that could play
like professional athletics.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Bartolo Cologne if you want to feel old. Nineteen ninety
nine was Kirk Farns's first year at Iowa, and he's
still there.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
I love it. He's a really good Thank you.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
He's the number one earning movie that year.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Right on, come on, come on, of college football coaches. Yeah,
let's go to movies.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Let's go to movies.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Well, nineteen nine nine was also the year that Bob
Stoops was hired. Wasn't it, and then yeah.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
I think they were kind of all in that same group, and.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Then two thousand and one the National Championship.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
So nineteen nine nine movies Star Wars Episode one, The
Phantom Menace. Despite the fact that had jar Jar Binks
and a bunch of CGI, it made four hundred and
thirty million dollars ross. Number two was the sixth Sense
I see dead People. Number three was Austin Powers, the
(08:02):
spy who shagged me.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Yeah, baby Yeah. Number four was Toy Story two, Great Flake,
Great flick.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Toy Story two was that was not lots of hugging bear.
That was Toy Story three, and number five was yeah
the Baby. The Matrix was five.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
The Matrix, The Matrix the best stat of all those.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Listen, I think the Matrix came out in ninety eight,
right that it being five was like the U just five. Anyway,
in the second year, the Uh Christina's Teenager, my super
hot girlfriend, Christina's Teenager, we were able to want to
let him watch uh was it sixth cents? For the
first time I got a person's like unfiltered first time
(08:51):
reaction to the end of a sixth Sense, which it's
an amazing movie, but it's not a great rewatch because
the greatest part of the movie is reveal at the end,
and I got to watch him react to it, and
that was wonderful. It makes sense that the episode one
of Star Wars was the largest grossing despite all of
(09:11):
its all of its limitations, yep, because everyone didn't know
the limitations when they paid to see it.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yeah, which just I'm sure the DVD sales are still big, right,
but yes, Jar Jar Binks threatened to cancel the entire
series only was unable to.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
To do that.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
I remember being very, very excited for The Phantom Menace,
and I remember being like, I liked it, but it wasn't.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
It didn't blow me away.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
I think maybe it was before that or a few
years after that did they did the original three re releases,
where like they buffed up the graphics and added like
some new scenes.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
I just watched a New Hope the other day with
those those kind of modern or more recent graphics, and
it's cringey.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
You prefer like the old old, like you can see
the lines passing through stuff. Job of the Hut is
in a scene with Harrison and he steps over in
and it's laughable.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
It's very blurry.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
He goes on my bookie, had my bookie. Yeah, it's
kind of weird. But so as as George Lucas was
making an episode one and releasing it, I saw him
do an interview with sixty Minutes and they said, what
are you listening to nowadays? Like, what's what's on your
discmand surprise to hear the answer. It went something like this, Wow,
(10:43):
George Lucas, this is Britney Spears her first hit, hit
Me Baby, and it launched a career that still goes today.
I think she's still doing a Vegas residency.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
But the I guess the the singer songwriter that will
always kind of match with Britney Spears did this song
the same year?
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Yeah, yeah, get it now as a Christina guy over
Brittany interesting. Yeah, I thought she was way more talented.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Yes, Dampier's are kind of resident nineties pop expert on
the show. Yes, when you look back twenty six years
of what has happened to each of these artists, how
do you kind of summarize things who came out ahead,
what impact?
Speaker 5 (11:42):
Well, I will say at the time, like there was
as far as great as Christina Aguilera was at the time,
nothing was bigger than Britney Spears and that song and
what it what it did. Ultimately, I would say because
of the the tough road that Britney drove for the
last ten fifteen years, whatever it's been, Christina actually would
(12:04):
probably come out. But I just I don't think that
there was ever a point where Christina Aguilera was bigger
than Britney Spears was at that point.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
So it was Britney Spears, Coke, and Christina Aguilera was
like Arci Cola.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
I would say, like that, Well, it's funny because Britney
was a Pepsi sponsor. Yeah, but if you wanted to
say that Coke was number one, I think it's very
fair to say that Christine the Aguilera was number two.
Then you have Jessica Simpson, others. Mandy Moore came along
at that time. She's now an actress. But yeah, yes,
Chris good Parrood, she's.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Been on the Voice. Christina Aguilera, yea, she was on
the Voice, and yeah, she had some great pipes, just great.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Yeah, she did really really really can say.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
So she could really sing.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Where's We kind of talked about this when I hosted
Coward yesterday, which is like the Cantler Clark is she
best played in the WNBA. No, but she's the most
popular player in the WNBA.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Right.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Christina aguilar is a better singer, better singer than Britney Spears,
not close, but Britney Spears was more popular.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
What you're saying is Christina Aguilera is the Brianna Stewart
to Caitlin Cark.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Nah, I would say she's the Page Beckers maybe, or
the Sabrinette Escu. Yeah, that's fair because Brianna Stewart is
an earlier generation, so she'd be more Not Madonna's not
that that's like Cynthia Cooper's like Madonna, right, but nobody
(13:31):
actually cared, So not really Madonna.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
How about this, Yeah, how about taking a twelve year
old that loves the NFL right now, sitting them down
and saying, you know, in nineteen ninety nine, that was
the era when the Jaguars and Titans ruled the NFL,
because it was at that time, at least in the AFC,
the Jaguars fourteen and two, Titans thirteen and three. You
(13:56):
would also say to that twelve year old, could you
believe the Dolphins actually made the playoffs that year, and
they won a game and they beat the Seahawks, because
that also happened in the nineteen ninety nine NFL season.
It was Dan Marino's last victory as a quarterback, Doug,
you talk about the loss that they took the next
week against the Jaguars, but Marino and the Dolphins went
(14:17):
to Seattle topped the Seahawks in an AFC wild card matchup,
but the Seahawks won the AFC West that year. Jacksonville
and Tennessee were tops in the AFC, but they were
both in the AFC Central. The Colts were the division
winner in the AFC East at thirteen and three.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Peyton Mann in second year.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Yes, first, first year three, second year, lost three.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
He finally got some traction, you know. Well they drafted
Edgrin James. That was a big help and Marvin Edge.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
How long was Dan Marino was in the NFL? From
what eighty three to ninety nine? He was in the
NFL long time? Yes, yes, it was it eighty three
In fact.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
A long time, not Brady long time.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
It feels like a lot, like I don't know, to
go from the early eighties to the late night for
some reason. That just feels like a long time.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
That that was the famous eighty three draft class.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
You know seven sixteen seventeen year career. That's you know, have.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
Brought up the Music City miracle. But that happened January eighth,
two thousand. Not apropos for this segment.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Rob Johnson was the quarterback of the Bills.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Yes, Rob Johnson, I think I've told this story. He
lives in South Orange County. Dude is the most ripped
human being I've ever seen. Like it's clean, does hot yoga,
shows off, embarrasses all of us.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
He's Rob Luke. You know Rob is in good shape.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Pause.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
No it's not pause, No, it's no. Yeah, he's just
giving the compliment. That's no way you would say. No Jase,
do you say it?
Speaker 3 (15:55):
No, yeah, we get it.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
No no homeost Dan agrees with me on this one.
Pause pause.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Well, you guys are two of the more hip guys ever,
so you can definitely tell what what I did.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Well, he threw you in there. Pause and no h
O m O are not the same thing.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Alright, Let's go back to Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.
I was always more of a Gimmy Gimme Moore fan
for Brittany and Let's get Dirty for Christina Aguilar.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
Dirty is great?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Ever really a fan of either?
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Give Me, Give Me More?
Speaker 3 (16:27):
That's an underrated song.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
Yeah, we forgot about baseball, but that's because the Yankees
beat everybody except they swept the Rangers, beat the Red
Sox in five games, and then beat the Braves.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Is that the World Series? Was that the first World Series?
For teater No.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Ninety six, eight nine, two thousand.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
My bad? There was that Maria Rivera's first first because
they had Wetland.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Rivera was a setup man for wet one and six.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
And then in ninety nine MVP.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
There you go Series MVP.

It didn't blow me away.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
I think maybe it was before that or a few
years after that did they did the original three re releases,
where like they buffed up the graphics and added like
some new scenes.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
I just watched a New Hope the other day with
those those kind of modern or more recent graphics, and
it's cringey.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
You prefer like the old old, like you can see
the lines passing through stuff. Job of the Hut is
in a scene with Harrison and he steps over in
and it's laughable.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
It's very blurry.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
He goes on my bookie, had my bookie. Yeah, it's
kind of weird. But so as as George Lucas was
making an episode one and releasing it, I saw him
do an interview with sixty Minutes and they said, what
are you listening to nowadays? Like, what's what's on your
discmand surprise to hear the answer. It went something like this, Wow,
(10:43):
George Lucas, this is Britney Spears her first hit, hit
Me Baby, and it launched a career that still goes today.
I think she's still doing a Vegas residency.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
But the I guess the the singer songwriter that will
always kind of match with Britney Spears did this song
the same year?
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Yeah, yeah, get it now as a Christina guy over
Brittany interesting. Yeah, I thought she was way more talented.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Yes, Dampier's are kind of resident nineties pop expert on
the show. Yes, when you look back twenty six years
of what has happened to each of these artists, how
do you kind of summarize things who came out ahead,
what impact?
Speaker 5 (11:42):
Well, I will say at the time, like there was
as far as great as Christina Aguilera was at the time,
nothing was bigger than Britney Spears and that song and
what it what it did. Ultimately, I would say because
of the the tough road that Britney drove for the
last ten fifteen years, whatever it's been, Christina actually would
(12:04):
probably come out. But I just I don't think that
there was ever a point where Christina Aguilera was bigger
than Britney Spears was at that point.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
So it was Britney Spears, Coke, and Christina Aguilera was
like Arci Cola.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
I would say, like that, Well, it's funny because Britney
was a Pepsi sponsor. Yeah, but if you wanted to
say that Coke was number one, I think it's very
fair to say that Christine the Aguilera was number two.
Then you have Jessica Simpson, others. Mandy Moore came along
at that time. She's now an actress. But yeah, yes,
Chris good Parrood, she's.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Been on the Voice. Christina Aguilera, yea, she was on
the Voice, and yeah, she had some great pipes, just great.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Yeah, she did really really really can say.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
So she could really sing.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Where's We kind of talked about this when I hosted
Coward yesterday, which is like the Cantler Clark is she
best played in the WNBA. No, but she's the most
popular player in the WNBA.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Right.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Christina aguilar is a better singer, better singer than Britney Spears,
not close, but Britney Spears was more popular.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
What you're saying is Christina Aguilera is the Brianna Stewart
to Caitlin Cark.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Nah, I would say she's the Page Beckers maybe, or
the Sabrinette Escu. Yeah, that's fair because Brianna Stewart is
an earlier generation, so she'd be more Not Madonna's not
that that's like Cynthia Cooper's like Madonna, right, but nobody
(13:31):
actually cared, So not really Madonna.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
How about this, Yeah, how about taking a twelve year
old that loves the NFL right now, sitting them down
and saying, you know, in nineteen ninety nine, that was
the era when the Jaguars and Titans ruled the NFL,
because it was at that time, at least in the AFC,
the Jaguars fourteen and two, Titans thirteen and three. You
(13:56):
would also say to that twelve year old, could you
believe the Dolphins actually made the playoffs that year, and
they won a game and they beat the Seahawks, because
that also happened in the nineteen ninety nine NFL season.
It was Dan Marino's last victory as a quarterback, Doug,
you talk about the loss that they took the next
week against the Jaguars, but Marino and the Dolphins went
(14:17):
to Seattle topped the Seahawks in an AFC wild card matchup,
but the Seahawks won the AFC West that year. Jacksonville
and Tennessee were tops in the AFC, but they were
both in the AFC Central. The Colts were the division
winner in the AFC East at thirteen and three.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Peyton Mann in second year.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Yes, first, first year three, second year, lost three.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
He finally got some traction, you know. Well they drafted
Edgrin James. That was a big help and Marvin Edge.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
How long was Dan Marino was in the NFL? From
what eighty three to ninety nine? He was in the
NFL long time? Yes, yes, it was it eighty three
In fact.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
A long time, not Brady long time.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
It feels like a lot, like I don't know, to
go from the early eighties to the late night for
some reason. That just feels like a long time.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
That that was the famous eighty three draft class.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
You know seven sixteen seventeen year career. That's you know, have.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
Brought up the Music City miracle. But that happened January eighth,
two thousand. Not apropos for this segment.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Rob Johnson was the quarterback of the Bills.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Yes, Rob Johnson, I think I've told this story. He
lives in South Orange County. Dude is the most ripped
human being I've ever seen. Like it's clean, does hot yoga,
shows off, embarrasses all of us.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
He's Rob Luke. You know Rob is in good shape.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Pause.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
No it's not pause, No, it's no. Yeah, he's just
giving the compliment. That's no way you would say. No Jase,
do you say it?
Speaker 3 (15:55):
No, yeah, we get it.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
No no homeost Dan agrees with me on this one.
Pause pause.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Well, you guys are two of the more hip guys ever,
so you can definitely tell what what I did.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Well, he threw you in there. Pause and no h
O m O are not the same thing.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Alright, Let's go back to Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.
I was always more of a Gimmy Gimme Moore fan
for Brittany and Let's get Dirty for Christina Aguilar.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
Dirty is great?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Ever really a fan of either?
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Give Me, Give Me More?
Speaker 3 (16:27):
That's an underrated song.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
Yeah, we forgot about baseball, but that's because the Yankees
beat everybody except they swept the Rangers, beat the Red
Sox in five games, and then beat the Braves.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Is that the World Series? Was that the first World Series?
For teater No.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Ninety six, eight nine, two thousand.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
My bad? There was that Maria Rivera's first first because
they had Wetland.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Rivera was a setup man for wet one and six.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
And then in ninety nine MVP.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
There you go Series MVP.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
