In this Made in the 90s edition of The Good Ole Boys Radio Show, the guys hop in the time machine and head straight back to the decade that raised them. From the shift in Black culture between the late ’80s and early ’90s, to the rise of Black ownership in music with Bad Boy, No Limit, Cash Money, Uptown, LaFace and more, the fellas break down how TV shows like Martin, In Living Color, A Different World, Fresh Prince, Saved by the Bell, New York Undercover and even Are You Afraid of the Dark? helped shape how we saw ourselves. They also rewind the movie catalog—Malcolm X, New Jack City, Boyz N the Hood, House Party, Lion King, Jurassic Park and more—while debating who really ran the decade on the big screen.
The crew also digs into the heavy side of the era with a real conversation about the crack epidemic, how it devastated Black communities, and how it compares to today’s opioid crisis. Then it’s back to the fun: Quincy's big fat yeast rolls, McDonald’s rap commercials and the Arch Deluxe, Pizza Hut Book It pies, Kid Cuisine trays, Little Debbie runs, plus 90s drip from Cross Colours and Karl Kani to FUBU, Starter jackets, Timbs, Wallabees, Nautica and Southpole.
Finally, they crown who truly ruled the 90s in sports (is it anybody but Michael Jordan?), music, and movies. This episode is pure nostalgia from start to finish.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
Qkittles, Black Trump, Grand Wiz.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Yeah, back in the house once more talking about that
actual factual. There's only the good Old Boys know how
to bring it to you. So we're gonna we're gonna
we're gonna hop in the time machine today and we're
gonna hop in a time machine and discuss uh the
era that I think kind of shaped us more than
(01:16):
any other era that we experienced in our lives.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Man.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
And we're talking about the decade of the nineties m H.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Standing to the nineties Kelly track.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
So yeah, I think youah, yeah, yeah, but it's uh,
I think that is the most culturally impactful time period
for our lives. And you know, with us approaching these
(01:53):
several decades alive, we want to revisit h one of
our favorite time periods.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Which was the nineteen nineties.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Man, and as my kids say, the nineteen hundreds.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yeah, you know, it does make it like, you know,
like you know, sometimes like I'd be saying like that
I was like twenty years ago, when the reality is
that was thirty years ago.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
It make you feel like.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
What was what was a shift that you noticed, say
from like nineteen eighty nine and ninety because it did
seem like the late eighties to early nineties there was
a shift where people seem just more free and happier
and expressive.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
It's a good question, man, I don't I think that
you know, a lot of it is is pushed by
pop culture, you know, like I think that things just
I don't know, if you look at every single decade,
there's a shift you know, based on like you know,
because of cultural differences and stuff like that that that
(03:10):
take place in pop culture, media, movies, all that stuff,
Like all of these time periods kind of have a
look and a feel, so like if you take a
look at you know, like the sixties were very different
from the seventies, which was very different from the eighties,
which was very very different from the nineties. Now it's
(03:39):
like every every time period has like a little bit of.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
I don't know what causes that. Do people coming into
the full and creating I guess I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Yeah, I think the shift I felt was just more
on the stylistic side of thing, you know, like you
were mentioning in the seventies, you know, they were coming
back with the Afros and black Power. We still felt
a lot of that in the eighties with the music,
you know, especially mid eighties or late eighties, they're getting
(04:15):
into the nineties before, like the NWA ice Cubes and
what they what they classified as gangster rap. And I'm
using air quotes here, you know it it was a
sound that we were all on that, you know, wearing
our black medallions, like ninety two, ninety three, and I
remember that cast was getting back to Daishiki's and then
(04:35):
it was you know, the political aspect of things.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
They were like, wait, hey, these guys are getting too woke.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
So that was my first experience personally and recognizing the shift,
but not really understanding it until I got a little
bit older.
Speaker 7 (04:51):
But well, I think the shift into what black Trump
was saying. I think ownership had a lot to do
with that. People haven't more freedom to express themselves because
they own more of the record companies and the product,
so they can say what they wanted other than the
which was different from the button down eighties where the
artists had no control in the seventies and sixties where
(05:13):
they had no control.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yeah, that's a good point, man, because I think that
you had like the uh the bad Boys of the world,
the uh which we call it uh no limit uh
cash buddy, they were able to keep posed death bro
(05:36):
even Uptown Records Uptown right prior to Bad Boy. Yeah,
it was like you're right, like that, the voice was
had a lot more, but they were black voices behind
black voices really for the first time, uh in music,
you know, I mean. And then and then creatively with
(05:56):
with with TV shows, I don't remember seeing a ton
of like black TV shows in the eighties that truly
showed our culture properly. We've had conversations about The Cosby
Show and and and what it meant to Black culture
and so for that, and but I don't think it
really showed what black culture really felt like. The way
(06:18):
that TV shows like Rock and Artin and Living Single
and all those shows that came about in the in
the nineties, I think expressed our culture a little bit
more than the TV shows that we saw in the
seventies and eighties.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
Yeah, I definitely feel like it's there's always an overcorrection.
So like what Q was saying about the seventies with
the blacks flotation and you know, the Afros and Das,
Shaky's and being black and proud, then the eighties it
seemed to go away from that, where everybody was just
trying to celebrate and live in opulent lifestyle and a
(07:01):
lot of the black owned content sort of went by
the wayside. But then the nineties it came back, you know,
thanks to like Keenan and John Singleton and people like that,
and you know, we just saw a lot more people
behind the scenes creating and amplifying the talent because it
(07:23):
wasn't really there in the eighties.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Right right, Well, that's what we're talking about today. We're
talking about the nineties, all the music. We're going to
take you in the journey from nineteen ninety all the
way up to nineteen ninety nine back going to go
to boys Forecast Media Radio Network talking about the nineties,
and so we brought up a couple of TV shows
(07:47):
from the nineties, and I know, like a lot of
people associated with us, like their favorite all time television
show is Mark Like if You Talk the Keys, if
You Talked the Dot. Them boys know every word of
every episode of Martin Man. And while I loved Martin,
I don't know if it was my favorite TV show
from the nineteen nineties.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
What's y'all's.
Speaker 7 (08:13):
In Living Color?
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (08:17):
Yeah, a different world from me.
Speaker 7 (08:20):
Man.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I was on that fresh Press Man just because I
was he was rocking them Jay's on there, and Mama
wasn't getting them for me back there. So it was
like I always wanted, like, who I gotta get those?
Look how you rocking that? But Martin is on top
of that list as well. Though Martin is is very
much up there. For me, it was just a difference
because they you know, he was pulling back like what
(08:41):
Fred Sandford did, well, I say, Fred Sanfford, Red Fox
and some of these guys were doing in the day
and put our what we were seeing growing up into
the show. You know, we were able to relate a
little more, just like like Fabulous where he raps. It
was just a difference in him and the older school rappers,
Like it was just a younger that we could relate with,
(09:02):
you know.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Yeah, I'm going to go a little bit against the
green with my favorite show from the nineteen nineties, and
it ain't a black show.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
You better not say this.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Years one of yours is probably number two actually, but
my number one show for the nineteen nineties was You
Wake Up in There.
Speaker 8 (09:22):
That's not that's not against the grain, that's not against
the Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
It's against the green for y'all.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
What y'all y'all talking about the black culture shows and stuff, man,
And I mean, while we had a black person on
Save by the Bell, it wasn't a black TV ship.
Speaker 6 (09:39):
Yeah, but you know, you know that's like that would
be in my top three. You said it's name one.
You know, if we were like, hey, name five, then
that would be in there for sure.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
I like Living Single a lot too, and I like
New York Undercover.
Speaker 8 (09:53):
Yeah, and those are two more, and I think it.
I think it's like can you still go back or.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
Do you still have the urge to go back and
watch these shows today? Like that's that's how I predicate
my my ranking, because yeah, there's a lot of shows
from back then that in that time period it was great,
but like if it comes on my TV now, I'm
not gonna watch it. Like Family Matters, there's no way
(10:21):
in watching Family Matters today.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
Dude, I don't like Family Matters when it was on. Man,
I did not like Family Matters site for real, Yo,
I've watched it.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I wasn't crazy about it, man, Like I thought it
was like you know, like I know that one of
the things what we saw in the nineteen eighties was
a bit of a backlash from the stuff that we
saw in the nineteen seventies, with the type of TV
shows from the nineteen seventies like Good Times and Good
Times and Saying for the Sun. Yeah before mentioned Sand
(10:54):
for the Sun, And I think that what we saw
in the eighties was trying to get away from like
this idea of black people being poor, which is why
the Cops Show was such a hit because it was
it was like the middle class back family, black family
and uh, and I think that Family Matters was kind
of trying to play off of that a little bit.
But then it added that one of the number one
(11:16):
things that people hated about shows like Good Times was
that the show wasn't about JJ Evans. But then it
turned into being like almost like it's why John Amos
left the show because it felt like we're focused on
this character and not focusing on the reality of what
(11:36):
this family is going through like we used to. And
I think that's what happened to Family Matters, and the
ercle character got so popular that everything was kind of
starting to be built around Oracle as opposed to the
married couple, which the show was supposed to be like
following but I didn't like the show.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
Do you realize that they were going to cancel the
show after the first season.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
I know.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
He did.
Speaker 7 (12:01):
Yeah, they kept it going because his rated the episodes
where he was on it was the radio shot up
because he was not an original cast member. You go
back and look at the first season, He's not even
in the intro right now. You should watch the Key
and Peel sketch they did about there too, were they
had Carl Winslow, the guy who somebody playing his character
(12:22):
trying to go into the office to talk to the
big boss about the show in the direction of the show,
and the big Boss is Steve Rkle, and he pretty
much bitch slaps him.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
I was also a huge fan of like competitive shows
like American Gladiators and Nickelodeon Guts, like a lot of
the Nickelodeon content. I gravitated towards Wild and Crazy Kids
with Obar Goodie yep, last six months. Yeah, double there,
(12:58):
double there. Yeah, that was what the Mark Summers was.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
That order series kind of come out in the nineties as.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
Well, it did, Yep, Yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Was big on that. I mean I got I grew
into it later. But Joy said something like like they
hit home. It's definitely one of those shows that you
could continuously watch and go back to, whether it's one
hundred thousand times still funny or you can you can
remember a couple of lines from different scenes. Those are
the ones that kind of resonate with us more.
Speaker 7 (13:32):
You know what. Another show that's in my top five
black shows, it's probably in the top three Roseanne.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
As as saying a black show.
Speaker 7 (13:43):
It's pretty much a black show. They just wore a
lot of like light makeup.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
So I've been, I've been, I've been rewatching. Uh uh
currently rewatching. I'm almost done with it now, are you
afraid of the dark?
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (14:00):
I watched that everywhere.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
So it was something that I noticed, and I and
and like I hadn't like I hadn't watched it because
it wasn't on streaming for years and I just happen
to search for it a couple of weeks ago and
I was like, oh, it's on Prime, So like, there's
something that I noticed about that show today. They did
everything in their power to make Kiki the one black
girl that was in the midnight society.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
They tried to dress her down right, they.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Put on a little hat, all that stuff, trying to
make her not look cute and everything right. And as
the show progressed, like I remembered, I was like, oh, yeah,
I remember I used to have a little crush on her.
Well I googled her, that actual actress and yeah, yeah
still to this day. Bro, Like, why why would they like,
(14:47):
like why would they suppress that? Like they don't want
other people like having a crush on this girl while
they had to like pretty girl that was supposed to
be the quote unquote pretty girl that was in there.
They didn't want they wanted they didn't want her overshadowing
that girl or something, so they made her into a
tomboy or something.
Speaker 7 (15:05):
Well they kind of did that, what say by the
Bell too. They never really made they.
Speaker 6 (15:09):
Could easily made Lisa the the girl, yeah, the Kelly,
but she was always being chased after after Screech instead
of Zach except for the one episode. So, I mean,
I think they do that a lot. Even with Beverly
Hills nine on two. Y Oh, Aaron Spelling obviously cast
his daughter Torri to be the dorky one out of
(15:31):
the bunch instead of having having them be Brenda.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Right right, well Brenda had a baby though, you know, yeah,
okay in.
Speaker 7 (15:44):
The trash trash oh, I forgot.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
We would have been to hop into some movies real quick,
real quick.
Speaker 9 (15:50):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Malcolm came out in the nineteen nineties.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Definitely, you watch over and over and over.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
Yeah, it's it's it's a tough watch actually for me.
Speaker 7 (16:02):
I mean Malcolm in the Middle.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Yeah, that's that's exactly what we're talking about. We're talking
about the greatest actor of a generation. With the greatest
director for our culture.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 7 (16:19):
Oh, you're talking about the movie Malcolm Malcolm.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yeah, it was like brilliant film man and uh that
came out of the nineties. Uh New Jack City Boys
in the Hood movies like that.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
Uh yeah, used.
Speaker 7 (16:37):
Yeah, yeah, it was the birth of the growing up
in the hood movies.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
That's right, House party, house party, right.
Speaker 6 (16:45):
Different type of a hood tale. Then some like Lion King.
You had Lion King, you had Forrest gumb Yeah, Sister Yeah,
and Jurassic Classic Park.
Speaker 8 (17:00):
And and stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
So so I went crazy about Jurassic Park.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Oh man, I'm still big on that one. I wasn't
when it first came out, but yeah, I enjoyed that series.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
But I was gonna say I I've been looking at
things on YouTube lately about movies and just music in general,
like the backstories on things and speaking about Minister came out,
Like with the Hughes brothers. I just realized that, And Mario,
I may have spoken to you about this last week
or so or the week before, but I just found
(17:36):
out that the the Hughes Brothers had reached out to R.
Kelly's group or people before he became the R Kelly
that we know today, well not the R Kelly we
know the day, but before he became real popular or whatnot.
It was right before the second album when this movie
was about to drop and they wanted him to write
a song about the movie. That's something that you know
(17:58):
that and go through movie or whatnot and this and
that captivated what he saw, so they sent him the
movie script or the movie itself.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
He watched it and wrote the song. And I didn't
know this.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
The beginning of Bumping Grind was supposed to be on
the soundtrack for Minutes to Society Word and if you
think about the character.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Ronnie, yeah, yeah, my mind's.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Telling me no, but my bid yeah, because he was
you know, the whole relationship there. But R Kelly's people
was like, yo, this is a hit. We don't want
this to hit affiliated with the soundtrack.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
We're going to make this the single to his next album.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
And that's that's why they gave soundtrack and that's why
they gave them Honey Love to using the movie instead.
I guess it was okay, See I didn't know that far.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
That's crazy, that's crazy.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
Yeah, I thought it was because Jada Pinker's character was
too old for r Kelly.
Speaker 5 (18:51):
Well, we come back, We're want to talk about drugs.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Back on to little Wards forecast Media radio that were
talking about the nineties made in the nineties. So a
big part of the nineteen nineties was damn crack. That's
wasn't neo Browns, right, but he.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Was getting ready to but original George would say, it's
these little.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Crack rocks are flooding the straits.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
Hey man.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
On the real it felt like crack was like everything
like in the nineteen nineties, man, Like you couldn't escape it,
you couldn't avoid it. I'm sure that there isn't a
person on this program that wasn't in some way, shape
or form impacted by the crack epidemic, Like whether it
was you know, statue of limitations, whether it's uh, whether
(19:52):
it's you knew people that were on it, whether like
you saw somebody lose their life or go to prison
because of it, Like I mean, it was, it was pervasive,
and I don't think.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
That people because of it your neighbor.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Right, ye, But I don't think that people of today
even understand just how how how large of an issue
this was during that time period, man like like, it's
it's something that I don't think that we even have
as much of an appreciation for today as we probably
should have, you know, because it was. It was a
(20:27):
large part of our upbringing. It was in all of
music and everything.
Speaker 8 (20:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (20:32):
I actually just watched the US Just Say No the
Crack episode of Law and Order a couple of days ago.
They did a whole episode on it from season two,
nineteen ninety one.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that to your point, Mario,
I think right now a lot of people Middle American
people are starting to understand it more of what we
went through with that epidemic, simply because of the opioid
epidemic that's happening in their communities now. They were so
(21:07):
quick the they say, oh wall, they can get off
of it, and they got a choice, But when it
terrorizes their neighborhoods now it's a sickness and they need help.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
And trying to help these folks instead of what they
did to.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
A lot of you know, minorities are basically black folks
back in the day and sending small fish to jail
for you know, an ounce or so or less than
that of rock and even some of the laws they
made back there were prejudiced in the sense of cocaine
versus crack, just to keep little fish when correct, it
was the reggaear economics that they got all of that
(21:41):
stuff in the hoods in the first place.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
But we know that now. I guess some people knew
it then as well.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
But it's just when you look back at it with
the fish eye or whatever, it's just like whoa, it
was right in your face and now now they're recognizing it.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
I think, Yeah, I wouldn't say that I was directly
or knowingly impacted by crack. I just remember, like, you know,
being what in fourth or fifth grade and having Dare,
having a DARE graduation and getting getting a Dare t shirt.
And I'm not sure like the timeline as far as
(22:19):
Reaganomics and how the crack epidemic started and then DARE
and when that started. But it would be ironic that
the same people responsible for the crack epidemic is also
responsible for trying to teach drug abuse resistance and education
in schools.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Remember that was Nancy Reagan.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
It came up with that, correct, just say no, yeah,
I remember, remember the guys that came from the prison.
They used to talk to us at the school. Did
they do that at y'all schools? Like it'd be like
four guys coming trying to scare everybody. Yeah, Scar Street
that straight so like that.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Yeah, Now I remember a dude Like, this is how
pervasive crack was. There was a dude that was in
prison and he came to talk and some idiot like
while he was talking.
Speaker 5 (23:07):
I can't remember who this was.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Man.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
If I remember who this was, I'm gonna hit you
up on Facebook or something. But somebody raised their hand
and said, you know, like like something like how much
drugs you'd be getting in prison?
Speaker 8 (23:19):
Man?
Speaker 5 (23:20):
And everybody started laughing, and he said.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Son, I man, jayl far one hundred and fifty years,
I ain't thinking about no drugs. He was in the
car with I remember the story. He was in the
car with somebody who killed somebody and he ended up
getting life in prison just because he was there, because
they would they would tie you to prime like that
too and stuff.
Speaker 7 (23:39):
Man.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
But it's just amazing to me just how pervasive crack
was though, man, like looking back on it, because it
just really took over our community man, and like and
as Furious style says, we don't own any boats, we
don't own any planes.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
How does it get in our community?
Speaker 10 (23:55):
Yeah, Ronald Reagan and Oliver North, Ali North, we're gonna
We're gonna come back and we're gonna talk about foods
and restaurants, snakes.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
I go to good old Boys, Forecast Media Radio, Networthy.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
W are you watching the Kittles? Black Trump and Grand Whiz.
We're talking about the nineties, remember this, I'm the big
fat yeast roll.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
No, was that Quincy's or was it r Quincy's.
Speaker 7 (24:38):
Okay, yeah, it's still one in Florence, South Carolina.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
A Quincy's.
Speaker 7 (24:45):
Yeah, they have a Quincy's and a Western Citzland.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
What.
Speaker 7 (24:49):
Yeah, every time I go to Florence, I stop and
get it because they still got the buffet and you
can order off the menu. They still bring the rolls.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Out.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Of all those types of restaurants, those those buffet style restaurants,
Quincy's was the best one. And I think Ryan's a
Golden Karac kind of Rad Quincy's out of business.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
But that was Shaw's, bro That's what rad Quincy's.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
Out had the breakfast buffet.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
They had to breakfast. Okay, okay, you know.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
They didn't have the the buffet after breakfast.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Okay, so what Shorty Bear?
Speaker 8 (25:24):
Yeah he's chilling with Smoky Yo.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Do y'all remember the McDonald's rap song when they had
one of the kids. When it came out, I was like,
I want to big Matt mcdeal t a quarter poind
of wash. Yeah, they have to have breaking teas burger happy.
I guess they se golden fries.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
It was on.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
TV every day, bro, those ninety nine the fries and
everything back then.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
Yo, it's crazy.
Speaker 7 (25:57):
Yeah, how fat do you have to be? The order
all that?
Speaker 4 (26:00):
I know? Right?
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Hey, you go to the go to the go up
there now and run that day and they're gonna look
at you like you're crazy. Like this guy is singing
the whole.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
The whole concept of the Big d o t. It
was so basically I didn't realize this, like as I
never ordered it because we we didn't have like we
had the like, uh for for some of us growing
up in places like Fairfax, South Carolina. You know, the
nearest McDonald's was like thirty minutes away in Barnwell, and
(26:33):
so it was like a thing if you were going
to get to the McDonald's right, And I never got
a chance to order mcdot, so I didn't realize until
a couple of years ago that the mcd T was
basically all the letters and stuff. Was it another separate
container and then you build a burger out yourself?
Speaker 5 (26:52):
Mm hmm, Yeah that's what that's what it was.
Speaker 7 (26:55):
Yeah, it was the mcdot though you said mcdd that
was that was just at the Atlanta mcdonald'ss.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
But yeah, you no, that was that.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
That was at the parties to make.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Yeah, okay, so whatever, but like it was like that
you basically built the burger yourself, because they were trying
to say that you know, if they build a burger
and put it in the packaging and stuff, it loses
some of the flavor.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
It's a stupid freaking idea.
Speaker 7 (27:27):
Yeah. Yeah. The hook was so the hot stays hot
and the cold stays cold.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (27:32):
Right.
Speaker 7 (27:34):
But do you remember in ninety six when the Arch
Deluxe came out and they had those two boys rapping. Yeah, yeah,
that was dope.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
I remember that one.
Speaker 5 (27:42):
I still remember the Deluxe.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
We've talked about this on classic episodes of The Little
Boys Radio Show. Out of Arch Deluxe looked like you
were raising a booty to your mouth, like like they
workshopped this before they could out.
Speaker 7 (28:00):
Oh man, I oh, I thought it was the best
burger they had really.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (28:05):
It had art sauce that had red onions on it.
It was supposed to be for the grown Adupe Palette
because they were trying to get away from kids marketing.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
Well it didn't work.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
I hated that they got rid of their kids' bills
and stuff like that. Man, And like, you don't find
a lot of playhouses, but I guess it's sanitary and
stuff now.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
But yeah, you know, that was a big thing.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
But it was a fun place to go back in
the day when you didn't have the funds or the means.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
To get other places. It's like, hey, let's go jump
in the nagg on McDonald's joint.
Speaker 7 (28:32):
And you know that's not why they don't have it now.
It's not sanitation. It's because they don't want you there.
They want you to order in the app and they'll
bring it out to you, or don't come in at all.
The one down the street from where I live, they
literally have they remodeled it. They took away. They don't
have drink stations and beverage stations anymore. They don't have
napkin holders.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
They don't have that because of you.
Speaker 9 (28:57):
It run this man away from here, because all the
ones here and Charlotte still how the driver sees somebody
they don't have here.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
They got a chair, they got a security door. Chat
a bro. You can't bring that cup in here.
Speaker 8 (29:16):
You know what. You know, you's on camera and everything.
You ain't care, No, I didn't, but you know who
they have now.
Speaker 7 (29:22):
They got a whole. They got a picture of of
one of those containers from the wire, you know, those
big freight containers and it's rusty. It looks like a dumpster.
That's what they have on the wall now. Because they're
trying to give you the impression that this place is uncomfortable,
so don't stay.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
That's exactly right. They don't want you there. Yeah, real quick, y'all.
Remember Pizza Hut with the boocket, the little personal pain.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Oh yeah, I Personal Pain was out for a while,
but that's when the when it got real popular, when
they threw the boocket programmed man like in the nineties.

where a showbiz pizza would have been. Like I've chuck
E Cheese. I knew about that. Yeah, because Chuckie Cheese.

Speaker 5 (30:45):
Okay, all right, yeah maybe I don't know.

to put out the urban gear so to speak. It
was just like I hate some of our designers don't
last because of it's just it's a blackness or or
or the lugs or whatever else.
Speaker 4 (35:45):
Came out from that was Love's.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
Black designer or Sean John that was a heavy boot thousands.

Two thousands, Yeah, like South Pole.

Speaker 8 (35:58):
Yeah, I had a.
Speaker 6 (35:58):
Mean south pole two piece outfit I wore the first
day of school, I think it was eighth grade, went
to Jacksonville, North Carolina. Got it, and then of course
you gotta have you got them in the starter jackets.
Like you can't have a nineties conversation without starter jackets.
Speaker 5 (36:17):
No doubt.
Speaker 4 (36:17):
No j flex with first ben the hat you know
what I'm saying, and you twist the hat yo.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
Yeah, and then like, uh, this was like super popular
when I was in in my first year of college.
Speaker 5 (36:34):
Everybody was wearing like a button up Tommy.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
So some like duckhead like uh, slacks in the eastless.
Speaker 4 (36:43):
Shoes, oh yeah, you remember.
Speaker 3 (36:46):

unless you had.
Speaker 1 (36:50):

Speaker 2 (36:52):
Yeah, but like I didn't get some, and then I
got some Wally's uh huh.
Speaker 5 (36:57):
The Clark Wallabies.
Speaker 7 (36:58):
Man, you described every dude from Irmo or Dutch Fork.
Speaker 5 (37:02):
It was crazy how many people was rocking that same outfit.
Speaker 4 (37:05):
Right, yeah yeah, don't like you said earlier. Nautica too,
it was mentioned.
Speaker 6 (37:09):
Five yeah fab five, how they made wearing black shirt
socks popular and a lot of people was wearing chirt
socks instead of they can't find the lacky socks.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
Even the big shorts. They're the ones who started that,
the shorts, and then Jordan and they all came in
the league with it, you know, like okay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7 (37:30):
Also too, I think we forgot to mention in the
last segment, this is the era in which Sprite became
the black soda.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Oh, because they was doing all the black people commercials. Yep,
hey remember remember shaying Shan and k R S one
and the commercial yeah commercial, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7 (37:49):
You know that's actually older than we think because they
were doing that since the eighties. The first one had
what's the dude that did the breaks, Curtis Blow?
Speaker 5 (37:59):
Oh yeah, that's right.
Speaker 8 (38:01):
Yeah, yes, you don't want Shan to try to do that?
Now do that?
Speaker 4 (38:05):
Course?
Speaker 5 (38:06):
Now, well you go back there to say with three
about that.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
We're gonna come back and we're gonna talk about who
ran the nineties or the full left version of The
Good Old Boys Radio Show. Follow us on mixcloud or
check us out on pushplaypods dot com. Back on the
Good Old Boys Forecast Media Radio Network talking about the nineties. So,
I don't know if y'all have asked we asked yourselves,
(38:34):
like you know that the askers these questions and you
wanted to wait. But let's let's let's let's pick who
was the dominant force for each of these categories.
Speaker 5 (38:45):
And uh, we'll start with sports.
Speaker 7 (38:48):
Michael Jordan.
Speaker 5 (38:49):
Gotta be Michael Jordan.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
Right, Nah, you're gonna be under the joy.
Speaker 7 (38:57):
He's currently the coach of the Colorado Buffaloes.
Speaker 4 (39:01):
Stop.
Speaker 7 (39:03):
Okay, he was in the top five, but he wasn't Jordan.
Speaker 5 (39:07):
He's top five, Jordan, Tyson, Bo Jackson.
Speaker 7 (39:12):
It's Jordan. It's not even close.
Speaker 3 (39:17):
Commercial He got a lot of the commercials for his shoes.
So Bow was definitely up there before his injury.
Speaker 5 (39:23):
Yeah, Bow was up there for sure, but.
Speaker 7 (39:27):
Nobody cared about baseball that much.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
But but none of them, Jordan and Tyson was more
in the late eighties. Was his run actually started, so
so he can't take over.
Speaker 7 (39:39):
And bo Jackson didn't last he was done by ninety five.
Speaker 5 (39:43):
Yeah, so that one was easy music.
Speaker 7 (39:47):
Music, Ryan Carry.
Speaker 5 (39:52):
Mariah Carrey, You said r Kelly, who.
Speaker 8 (39:57):
I'll say Mary, Mary or Whitney?
Speaker 5 (40:00):
So can I pick a group?
Speaker 8 (40:03):
Who Tang?
Speaker 5 (40:04):
Who Tang? Little Biggers on the Swamp.
Speaker 7 (40:08):
I actually had all five of those written down, so
it could have been any of those to me, because
they pretty much were like from ninety to ninety nine
where there was some sort of impact.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
Yeah, yeah, Men ninety three, Tupac, No, no Wo wou
Te who came in ninety three, ninety three, Yeah, ninety three,
ninety four, but no.
Speaker 5 (40:34):
No Dius, no, no Big, no pot.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
Man, because it was it was like mid though. You
get into it, you got it. I'm talking like, hey, listen,
I know that he came. It was like late eighties,
but he was in the early nineties and was doing
stuff still up until what.
Speaker 5 (40:51):
Spots Now came out in nineteen ninety one.
Speaker 7 (40:53):
Until ninety two, Okay it was done.
Speaker 6 (40:57):
Yeah, I'd say Mary was the most consistent throughout the nineties.
Like Mariah had that glitter blur, that sort of she
was kind of off a little bit, but she was
dominant throughout. Whitney kind of had that period after The
Preacher's Wife before that My Love is Your Love album
where she was kind of quiet. But yeah, for the
(41:18):
most part, Mary was consistent from ninety one through ninety nine,
So that's why I went with her.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
Well, what if you go with label are you gonna
go bad boy death bro no limit.
Speaker 5 (41:32):
The face.
Speaker 7 (41:35):
Yeah yeah, little face with you know the face would
have been my pick. Yeah, I'm gonna pick the face too.
But I came to this conclusion maybe a month ago.
If h Andre Harrel had not fired Puff Be Diddy,
for the people listening, Uptail Records would have been the
(41:55):
number one boutique record label in the country because they
would have signed Biggie and Craig Mac And if you
look at the roster, they would have had Meggie, Craig Mac,
Father m c Jo, Deasy, Redhead, Kingpin, Heavy D and
the boys. I'll be sure Christopher Williams. They would have
been running the charts.
Speaker 6 (42:15):
Mary Mario, there's no long gonna last along because he
would have killed Andre Herrel.
Speaker 5 (42:22):
He probably would have.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
Given given his track record, he probably did.
Speaker 4 (42:28):
We don't know.
Speaker 7 (42:33):
I mean, I'll be showing pretty much said he did.
Speaker 3 (42:35):
Betta be careful boy? Did he did he out hear
sewing people. You're gonna get that counter suit for defamation
out here, man.
Speaker 4 (42:47):
Uh uh.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
I think that the nineties nineties music, I don't think
that we're ever going to experience that again. Like like
there's like you talking about a decade of great artistry
and music.
Speaker 5 (43:00):
Man, like, we haven't seen that again and we didn't
see it before.
Speaker 2 (43:04):
Really like with that, like, think about all the people
we all named four different people.
Speaker 5 (43:11):
Well, we said who dominated music? It was right, all
of us were right. You know, uh movies, who who
is the movie star? Movie star?
Speaker 1 (43:22):
Like?
Speaker 5 (43:23):
Who dominated?
Speaker 4 (43:23):
For me?
Speaker 8 (43:24):
It's the zep Oh well I disagree with that one.
Speaker 7 (43:28):
Uh probably Tom Cruise. Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna say.
Speaker 6 (43:35):
I'm gonna say, you know, I don't say Wesley. Wesley
dominated the nineties.
Speaker 3 (43:39):
Yes, that's what's up, right, fan, white Man Can't Jump,
Money Train, Jack City, Jungle Fever.
Speaker 5 (43:47):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 8 (43:48):
It was like every year he had a blockbuster.
Speaker 3 (43:50):
Movie, true, and he had a sex scene written into
every contract.
Speaker 2 (43:57):
Buddy trained, white Man can't Jump dag It is Wesley? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (44:05):
Bro seven.
Speaker 5 (44:08):
He was playing. He was turning out movies. Murder on
sixteen hundred, right right, Dang.
Speaker 7 (44:16):
It was Wesley Simes. It really was.
Speaker 5 (44:19):
I ain't even mentioned more. Better Blues were.
Speaker 8 (44:22):
Two Long Food. That was the worst one.
Speaker 5 (44:29):
Okay, it got good reviews though him and Blaze.
Speaker 4 (44:34):
You know later on man like Wes was doing this.
Speaker 5 (44:37):
Wesley was the man Dan. He kind of hit the cliff, didn't.
Speaker 7 (44:40):
He he did.
Speaker 2 (44:43):
You know, so like Dizzel wasn't as prolific, but Dizzel
like the cliff of Mount tax More. That was that
was that was his uh you know that that was
his fault. That was the people around him not not
having things like he's like they should have. Okay, yeah,
but now no, it's it's it's it's Wesley. From from
(45:06):
a directorial standpoint, we're going John Sangleton.
Speaker 7 (45:12):
Uh directorial would be the white dude with the beard, uh,
the Jewish guy what's his name?
Speaker 8 (45:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (45:21):
Yeah, yeah, because he did have Jurassic he had uh
sist he had everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that it is him.
I mean but he's the greatest director probably ever though.
Speaker 4 (45:37):
What about the what was the production that that did?
Speaker 7 (45:41):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (45:41):
New was a new line cinema they did like the
Freddy Krueger movies and all of that. They were deeping
out a lot of stuff like you know, late eighties
early nineties kind of rocketed and.
Speaker 2 (45:50):
They went out of business, either them or Orian Yeah,

Speaker 7 (45:57):
I just knew if Orion came on at the beginning,
I was.
Speaker 5 (45:59):
Gonna like, all right, it's cool.
Speaker 4 (46:01):
It's cool.
Speaker 2 (46:02):
Yeah, all right, that's gonna wrap it up.
Speaker 7 (46:06):
Man.

We're gonna close with uh.
Speaker 2 (46:09):
I had to pick us off from nineteen ninety nine,

Speaker 5 (01:20):
And we're talking about the decade of the nineties m H.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Standing to the nineties Kelly track.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
So yeah, I think youah, yeah, yeah, but it's uh,
I think that is the most culturally impactful time period
for our lives. And you know, with us approaching these
(01:53):
several decades alive, we want to revisit h one of
our favorite time periods.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Which was the nineteen nineties.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Man, and as my kids say, the nineteen hundreds.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yeah, you know, it does make it like, you know,
like you know, sometimes like I'd be saying like that
I was like twenty years ago, when the reality is
that was thirty years ago.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
It make you feel like.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
What was what was a shift that you noticed, say
from like nineteen eighty nine and ninety because it did
seem like the late eighties to early nineties there was
a shift where people seem just more free and happier
and expressive.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
It's a good question, man, I don't I think that
you know, a lot of it is is pushed by
pop culture, you know, like I think that things just
I don't know, if you look at every single decade,
there's a shift you know, based on like you know,
because of cultural differences and stuff like that that that
(03:10):
take place in pop culture, media, movies, all that stuff,
Like all of these time periods kind of have a
look and a feel, so like if you take a
look at you know, like the sixties were very different
from the seventies, which was very different from the eighties,
which was very very different from the nineties. Now it's
(03:39):
like every every time period has like a little bit of.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
I don't know what causes that. Do people coming into
the full and creating I guess I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Yeah, I think the shift I felt was just more
on the stylistic side of thing, you know, like you
were mentioning in the seventies, you know, they were coming
back with the Afros and black Power. We still felt
a lot of that in the eighties with the music,
you know, especially mid eighties or late eighties, they're getting
(04:15):
into the nineties before, like the NWA ice Cubes and
what they what they classified as gangster rap. And I'm
using air quotes here, you know it it was a
sound that we were all on that, you know, wearing
our black medallions, like ninety two, ninety three, and I
remember that cast was getting back to Daishiki's and then
(04:35):
it was you know, the political aspect of things.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
They were like, wait, hey, these guys are getting too woke.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
So that was my first experience personally and recognizing the shift,
but not really understanding it until I got a little
bit older.
Speaker 7 (04:51):
But well, I think the shift into what black Trump
was saying. I think ownership had a lot to do
with that. People haven't more freedom to express themselves because
they own more of the record companies and the product,
so they can say what they wanted other than the
which was different from the button down eighties where the
artists had no control in the seventies and sixties where
(05:13):
they had no control.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yeah, that's a good point, man, because I think that
you had like the uh the bad Boys of the world,
the uh which we call it uh no limit uh
cash buddy, they were able to keep posed death bro
(05:36):
even Uptown Records Uptown right prior to Bad Boy. Yeah,
it was like you're right, like that, the voice was
had a lot more, but they were black voices behind
black voices really for the first time, uh in music,
you know, I mean. And then and then creatively with
(05:56):
with with TV shows, I don't remember seeing a ton
of like black TV shows in the eighties that truly
showed our culture properly. We've had conversations about The Cosby
Show and and and what it meant to Black culture
and so for that, and but I don't think it
really showed what black culture really felt like. The way
(06:18):
that TV shows like Rock and Artin and Living Single
and all those shows that came about in the in
the nineties, I think expressed our culture a little bit
more than the TV shows that we saw in the
seventies and eighties.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
Yeah, I definitely feel like it's there's always an overcorrection.
So like what Q was saying about the seventies with
the blacks flotation and you know, the Afros and Das,
Shaky's and being black and proud, then the eighties it
seemed to go away from that, where everybody was just
trying to celebrate and live in opulent lifestyle and a
(07:01):
lot of the black owned content sort of went by
the wayside. But then the nineties it came back, you know,
thanks to like Keenan and John Singleton and people like that,
and you know, we just saw a lot more people
behind the scenes creating and amplifying the talent because it
(07:23):
wasn't really there in the eighties.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Right right, Well, that's what we're talking about today. We're
talking about the nineties, all the music. We're going to
take you in the journey from nineteen ninety all the
way up to nineteen ninety nine back going to go
to boys Forecast Media Radio Network talking about the nineties,
and so we brought up a couple of TV shows
(07:47):
from the nineties, and I know, like a lot of
people associated with us, like their favorite all time television
show is Mark Like if You Talk the Keys, if
You Talked the Dot. Them boys know every word of
every episode of Martin Man. And while I loved Martin,
I don't know if it was my favorite TV show
from the nineteen nineties.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
What's y'all's.
Speaker 7 (08:13):
In Living Color?
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (08:17):
Yeah, a different world from me.
Speaker 7 (08:20):
Man.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I was on that fresh Press Man just because I
was he was rocking them Jay's on there, and Mama
wasn't getting them for me back there. So it was
like I always wanted, like, who I gotta get those?
Look how you rocking that? But Martin is on top
of that list as well. Though Martin is is very
much up there. For me, it was just a difference
because they you know, he was pulling back like what
(08:41):
Fred Sandford did, well, I say, Fred Sanfford, Red Fox
and some of these guys were doing in the day
and put our what we were seeing growing up into
the show. You know, we were able to relate a
little more, just like like Fabulous where he raps. It
was just a difference in him and the older school rappers,
Like it was just a younger that we could relate with,
(09:02):
you know.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Yeah, I'm going to go a little bit against the
green with my favorite show from the nineteen nineties, and
it ain't a black show.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
You better not say this.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Years one of yours is probably number two actually, but
my number one show for the nineteen nineties was You
Wake Up in There.
Speaker 8 (09:22):
That's not that's not against the grain, that's not against
the Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
It's against the green for y'all.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
What y'all y'all talking about the black culture shows and stuff, man,
And I mean, while we had a black person on
Save by the Bell, it wasn't a black TV ship.
Speaker 6 (09:39):
Yeah, but you know, you know that's like that would
be in my top three. You said it's name one.
You know, if we were like, hey, name five, then
that would be in there for sure.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
I like Living Single a lot too, and I like
New York Undercover.
Speaker 8 (09:53):
Yeah, and those are two more, and I think it.
I think it's like can you still go back or.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
Do you still have the urge to go back and
watch these shows today? Like that's that's how I predicate
my my ranking, because yeah, there's a lot of shows
from back then that in that time period it was great,
but like if it comes on my TV now, I'm
not gonna watch it. Like Family Matters, there's no way
(10:21):
in watching Family Matters today.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
Dude, I don't like Family Matters when it was on. Man,
I did not like Family Matters site for real, Yo,
I've watched it.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I wasn't crazy about it, man, Like I thought it
was like you know, like I know that one of
the things what we saw in the nineteen eighties was
a bit of a backlash from the stuff that we
saw in the nineteen seventies, with the type of TV
shows from the nineteen seventies like Good Times and Good
Times and Saying for the Sun. Yeah before mentioned Sand
(10:54):
for the Sun, And I think that what we saw
in the eighties was trying to get away from like
this idea of black people being poor, which is why
the Cops Show was such a hit because it was
it was like the middle class back family, black family
and uh, and I think that Family Matters was kind
of trying to play off of that a little bit.
But then it added that one of the number one
(11:16):
things that people hated about shows like Good Times was
that the show wasn't about JJ Evans. But then it
turned into being like almost like it's why John Amos
left the show because it felt like we're focused on
this character and not focusing on the reality of what
(11:36):
this family is going through like we used to. And
I think that's what happened to Family Matters, and the
ercle character got so popular that everything was kind of
starting to be built around Oracle as opposed to the
married couple, which the show was supposed to be like
following but I didn't like the show.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
Do you realize that they were going to cancel the
show after the first season.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
I know.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
He did.
Speaker 7 (12:01):
Yeah, they kept it going because his rated the episodes
where he was on it was the radio shot up
because he was not an original cast member. You go
back and look at the first season, He's not even
in the intro right now. You should watch the Key
and Peel sketch they did about there too, were they
had Carl Winslow, the guy who somebody playing his character
(12:22):
trying to go into the office to talk to the
big boss about the show in the direction of the show,
and the big Boss is Steve Rkle, and he pretty
much bitch slaps him.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
I was also a huge fan of like competitive shows
like American Gladiators and Nickelodeon Guts, like a lot of
the Nickelodeon content. I gravitated towards Wild and Crazy Kids
with Obar Goodie yep, last six months. Yeah, double there,
(12:58):
double there. Yeah, that was what the Mark Summers was.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
That order series kind of come out in the nineties as.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
Well, it did, Yep, Yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Was big on that. I mean I got I grew
into it later. But Joy said something like like they
hit home. It's definitely one of those shows that you
could continuously watch and go back to, whether it's one
hundred thousand times still funny or you can you can
remember a couple of lines from different scenes. Those are
the ones that kind of resonate with us more.
Speaker 7 (13:32):
You know what. Another show that's in my top five
black shows, it's probably in the top three Roseanne.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
As as saying a black show.
Speaker 7 (13:43):
It's pretty much a black show. They just wore a
lot of like light makeup.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
So I've been, I've been, I've been rewatching. Uh uh
currently rewatching. I'm almost done with it now, are you
afraid of the dark?
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (14:00):
I watched that everywhere.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
So it was something that I noticed, and I and
and like I hadn't like I hadn't watched it because
it wasn't on streaming for years and I just happen
to search for it a couple of weeks ago and
I was like, oh, it's on Prime, So like, there's
something that I noticed about that show today. They did
everything in their power to make Kiki the one black
girl that was in the midnight society.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
They tried to dress her down right, they.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Put on a little hat, all that stuff, trying to
make her not look cute and everything right. And as
the show progressed, like I remembered, I was like, oh, yeah,
I remember I used to have a little crush on her.
Well I googled her, that actual actress and yeah, yeah
still to this day. Bro, Like, why why would they like,
(14:47):
like why would they suppress that? Like they don't want
other people like having a crush on this girl while
they had to like pretty girl that was supposed to
be the quote unquote pretty girl that was in there.
They didn't want they wanted they didn't want her overshadowing
that girl or something, so they made her into a
tomboy or something.
Speaker 7 (15:05):
Well they kind of did that, what say by the
Bell too. They never really made they.
Speaker 6 (15:09):
Could easily made Lisa the the girl, yeah, the Kelly,
but she was always being chased after after Screech instead
of Zach except for the one episode. So, I mean,
I think they do that a lot. Even with Beverly
Hills nine on two. Y Oh, Aaron Spelling obviously cast
his daughter Torri to be the dorky one out of
(15:31):
the bunch instead of having having them be Brenda.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Right right, well Brenda had a baby though, you know, yeah,
okay in.
Speaker 7 (15:44):
The trash trash oh, I forgot.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
We would have been to hop into some movies real quick,
real quick.
Speaker 9 (15:50):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Malcolm came out in the nineteen nineties.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Definitely, you watch over and over and over.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
Yeah, it's it's it's a tough watch actually for me.
Speaker 7 (16:02):
I mean Malcolm in the Middle.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Yeah, that's that's exactly what we're talking about. We're talking
about the greatest actor of a generation. With the greatest
director for our culture.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 7 (16:19):
Oh, you're talking about the movie Malcolm Malcolm.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yeah, it was like brilliant film man and uh that
came out of the nineties. Uh New Jack City Boys
in the Hood movies like that.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
Uh yeah, used.
Speaker 7 (16:37):
Yeah, yeah, it was the birth of the growing up
in the hood movies.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
That's right, House party, house party, right.
Speaker 6 (16:45):
Different type of a hood tale. Then some like Lion King.
You had Lion King, you had Forrest gumb Yeah, Sister Yeah,
and Jurassic Classic Park.
Speaker 8 (17:00):
And and stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
So so I went crazy about Jurassic Park.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Oh man, I'm still big on that one. I wasn't
when it first came out, but yeah, I enjoyed that series.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
But I was gonna say I I've been looking at
things on YouTube lately about movies and just music in general,
like the backstories on things and speaking about Minister came out,
Like with the Hughes brothers. I just realized that, And Mario,
I may have spoken to you about this last week
or so or the week before, but I just found
(17:36):
out that the the Hughes Brothers had reached out to R.
Kelly's group or people before he became the R Kelly
that we know today, well not the R Kelly we
know the day, but before he became real popular or whatnot.
It was right before the second album when this movie
was about to drop and they wanted him to write
a song about the movie. That's something that you know
(17:58):
that and go through movie or whatnot and this and
that captivated what he saw, so they sent him the
movie script or the movie itself.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
He watched it and wrote the song. And I didn't
know this.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
The beginning of Bumping Grind was supposed to be on
the soundtrack for Minutes to Society Word and if you
think about the character.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Ronnie, yeah, yeah, my mind's.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Telling me no, but my bid yeah, because he was
you know, the whole relationship there. But R Kelly's people
was like, yo, this is a hit. We don't want
this to hit affiliated with the soundtrack.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
We're going to make this the single to his next album.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
And that's that's why they gave soundtrack and that's why
they gave them Honey Love to using the movie instead.
I guess it was okay, See I didn't know that far.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
That's crazy, that's crazy.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
Yeah, I thought it was because Jada Pinker's character was
too old for r Kelly.
Speaker 5 (18:51):
Well, we come back, We're want to talk about drugs.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Back on to little Wards forecast Media radio that were
talking about the nineties made in the nineties. So a
big part of the nineteen nineties was damn crack. That's
wasn't neo Browns, right, but he.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Was getting ready to but original George would say, it's
these little.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Crack rocks are flooding the straits.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
Hey man.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
On the real it felt like crack was like everything
like in the nineteen nineties, man, Like you couldn't escape it,
you couldn't avoid it. I'm sure that there isn't a
person on this program that wasn't in some way, shape
or form impacted by the crack epidemic, Like whether it
was you know, statue of limitations, whether it's uh, whether
(19:52):
it's you knew people that were on it, whether like
you saw somebody lose their life or go to prison
because of it, Like I mean, it was, it was pervasive,
and I don't think.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
That people because of it your neighbor.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Right, ye, But I don't think that people of today
even understand just how how how large of an issue
this was during that time period, man like like, it's
it's something that I don't think that we even have
as much of an appreciation for today as we probably
should have, you know, because it was. It was a
(20:27):
large part of our upbringing. It was in all of
music and everything.
Speaker 8 (20:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (20:32):
I actually just watched the US Just Say No the
Crack episode of Law and Order a couple of days ago.
They did a whole episode on it from season two,
nineteen ninety one.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that to your point, Mario,
I think right now a lot of people Middle American
people are starting to understand it more of what we
went through with that epidemic, simply because of the opioid
epidemic that's happening in their communities now. They were so
(21:07):
quick the they say, oh wall, they can get off
of it, and they got a choice, But when it
terrorizes their neighborhoods now it's a sickness and they need help.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
And trying to help these folks instead of what they
did to.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
A lot of you know, minorities are basically black folks
back in the day and sending small fish to jail
for you know, an ounce or so or less than
that of rock and even some of the laws they
made back there were prejudiced in the sense of cocaine
versus crack, just to keep little fish when correct, it
was the reggaear economics that they got all of that
(21:41):
stuff in the hoods in the first place.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
But we know that now. I guess some people knew
it then as well.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
But it's just when you look back at it with
the fish eye or whatever, it's just like whoa, it
was right in your face and now now they're recognizing it.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
I think, Yeah, I wouldn't say that I was directly
or knowingly impacted by crack. I just remember, like, you know,
being what in fourth or fifth grade and having Dare,
having a DARE graduation and getting getting a Dare t shirt.
And I'm not sure like the timeline as far as
(22:19):
Reaganomics and how the crack epidemic started and then DARE
and when that started. But it would be ironic that
the same people responsible for the crack epidemic is also
responsible for trying to teach drug abuse resistance and education
in schools.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Remember that was Nancy Reagan.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
It came up with that, correct, just say no, yeah,
I remember, remember the guys that came from the prison.
They used to talk to us at the school. Did
they do that at y'all schools? Like it'd be like
four guys coming trying to scare everybody. Yeah, Scar Street
that straight so like that.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Yeah, Now I remember a dude Like, this is how
pervasive crack was. There was a dude that was in
prison and he came to talk and some idiot like
while he was talking.
Speaker 5 (23:07):
I can't remember who this was.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Man.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
If I remember who this was, I'm gonna hit you
up on Facebook or something. But somebody raised their hand
and said, you know, like like something like how much
drugs you'd be getting in prison?
Speaker 8 (23:19):
Man?
Speaker 5 (23:20):
And everybody started laughing, and he said.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Son, I man, jayl far one hundred and fifty years,
I ain't thinking about no drugs. He was in the
car with I remember the story. He was in the
car with somebody who killed somebody and he ended up
getting life in prison just because he was there, because
they would they would tie you to prime like that
too and stuff.
Speaker 7 (23:39):
Man.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
But it's just amazing to me just how pervasive crack
was though, man, like looking back on it, because it
just really took over our community man, and like and
as Furious style says, we don't own any boats, we
don't own any planes.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
How does it get in our community?
Speaker 10 (23:55):
Yeah, Ronald Reagan and Oliver North, Ali North, we're gonna
We're gonna come back and we're gonna talk about foods
and restaurants, snakes.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
I go to good old Boys, Forecast Media Radio, Networthy.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
W are you watching the Kittles? Black Trump and Grand Whiz.
We're talking about the nineties, remember this, I'm the big
fat yeast roll.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
No, was that Quincy's or was it r Quincy's.
Speaker 7 (24:38):
Okay, yeah, it's still one in Florence, South Carolina.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
A Quincy's.
Speaker 7 (24:45):
Yeah, they have a Quincy's and a Western Citzland.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
What.
Speaker 7 (24:49):
Yeah, every time I go to Florence, I stop and
get it because they still got the buffet and you
can order off the menu. They still bring the rolls.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Out.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Of all those types of restaurants, those those buffet style restaurants,
Quincy's was the best one. And I think Ryan's a
Golden Karac kind of Rad Quincy's out of business.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
But that was Shaw's, bro That's what rad Quincy's.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
Out had the breakfast buffet.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
They had to breakfast. Okay, okay, you know.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
They didn't have the the buffet after breakfast.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Okay, so what Shorty Bear?
Speaker 8 (25:24):
Yeah he's chilling with Smoky Yo.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Do y'all remember the McDonald's rap song when they had
one of the kids. When it came out, I was like,
I want to big Matt mcdeal t a quarter poind
of wash. Yeah, they have to have breaking teas burger happy.
I guess they se golden fries.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
It was on.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
TV every day, bro, those ninety nine the fries and
everything back then.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
Yo, it's crazy.
Speaker 7 (25:57):
Yeah, how fat do you have to be? The order
all that?
Speaker 4 (26:00):
I know? Right?
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Hey, you go to the go to the go up
there now and run that day and they're gonna look
at you like you're crazy. Like this guy is singing
the whole.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
The whole concept of the Big d o t. It
was so basically I didn't realize this, like as I
never ordered it because we we didn't have like we
had the like, uh for for some of us growing
up in places like Fairfax, South Carolina. You know, the
nearest McDonald's was like thirty minutes away in Barnwell, and
(26:33):
so it was like a thing if you were going
to get to the McDonald's right, And I never got
a chance to order mcdot, so I didn't realize until
a couple of years ago that the mcd T was
basically all the letters and stuff. Was it another separate
container and then you build a burger out yourself?
Speaker 5 (26:52):
Mm hmm, Yeah that's what that's what it was.
Speaker 7 (26:55):
Yeah, it was the mcdot though you said mcdd that
was that was just at the Atlanta mcdonald'ss.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
But yeah, you no, that was that.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
That was at the parties to make.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Yeah, okay, so whatever, but like it was like that
you basically built the burger yourself, because they were trying
to say that you know, if they build a burger
and put it in the packaging and stuff, it loses
some of the flavor.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
It's a stupid freaking idea.
Speaker 7 (27:27):
Yeah. Yeah. The hook was so the hot stays hot
and the cold stays cold.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (27:32):
Right.
Speaker 7 (27:34):
But do you remember in ninety six when the Arch
Deluxe came out and they had those two boys rapping. Yeah, yeah,
that was dope.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
I remember that one.
Speaker 5 (27:42):
I still remember the Deluxe.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
We've talked about this on classic episodes of The Little
Boys Radio Show. Out of Arch Deluxe looked like you
were raising a booty to your mouth, like like they
workshopped this before they could out.
Speaker 7 (28:00):
Oh man, I oh, I thought it was the best
burger they had really.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (28:05):
It had art sauce that had red onions on it.
It was supposed to be for the grown Adupe Palette
because they were trying to get away from kids marketing.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
Well it didn't work.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
I hated that they got rid of their kids' bills
and stuff like that. Man, And like, you don't find
a lot of playhouses, but I guess it's sanitary and
stuff now.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
But yeah, you know, that was a big thing.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
But it was a fun place to go back in
the day when you didn't have the funds or the means.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
To get other places. It's like, hey, let's go jump
in the nagg on McDonald's joint.
Speaker 7 (28:32):
And you know that's not why they don't have it now.
It's not sanitation. It's because they don't want you there.
They want you to order in the app and they'll
bring it out to you, or don't come in at all.
The one down the street from where I live, they
literally have they remodeled it. They took away. They don't
have drink stations and beverage stations anymore. They don't have
napkin holders.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
They don't have that because of you.
Speaker 9 (28:57):
It run this man away from here, because all the
ones here and Charlotte still how the driver sees somebody
they don't have here.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
They got a chair, they got a security door. Chat
a bro. You can't bring that cup in here.
Speaker 8 (29:16):
You know what. You know, you's on camera and everything.
You ain't care, No, I didn't, but you know who
they have now.
Speaker 7 (29:22):
They got a whole. They got a picture of of
one of those containers from the wire, you know, those
big freight containers and it's rusty. It looks like a dumpster.
That's what they have on the wall now. Because they're
trying to give you the impression that this place is uncomfortable,
so don't stay.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
That's exactly right. They don't want you there. Yeah, real quick, y'all.
Remember Pizza Hut with the boocket, the little personal pain.
Speaker 3 (29:46):

but that's when the when it got real popular, when
they threw the boocket programmed man like in the nineties.

or the lugs or whatever else.
Speaker 4 (35:45):
Came out from that was Love's.
Speaker 3 (35:46):

Yeah, I had a.
Speaker 6 (35:58):
Mean south pole two piece outfit I wore the first
day of school, I think it was eighth grade, went
to Jacksonville, North Carolina. Got it, and then of course
you gotta have you got them in the starter jackets.
Like you can't have a nineties conversation without starter jackets.
Speaker 5 (36:17):
No doubt.
Speaker 4 (36:17):
No j flex with first ben the hat you know
what I'm saying, and you twist the hat yo.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
Yeah, and then like, uh, this was like super popular
when I was in in my first year of college.
Speaker 5 (36:34):
Everybody was wearing like a button up Tommy.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
So some like duckhead like uh, slacks in the eastless.
Speaker 4 (36:43):
Shoes, oh yeah, you remember.

unless you had.
Speaker 1 (36:50):

Speaker 2 (36:52):
Yeah, but like I didn't get some, and then I
got some Wally's uh huh.
Speaker 5 (36:57):
The Clark Wallabies.
Speaker 7 (36:58):
Man, you described every dude from Irmo or Dutch Fork.
Speaker 5 (37:02):
It was crazy how many people was rocking that same outfit.
Speaker 4 (37:05):
Right, yeah yeah, don't like you said earlier. Nautica too,
it was mentioned.
Speaker 6 (37:09):
Five yeah fab five, how they made wearing black shirt
socks popular and a lot of people was wearing chirt
socks instead of they can't find the lacky socks.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
Even the big shorts. They're the ones who started that,
the shorts, and then Jordan and they all came in
the league with it, you know, like okay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7 (37:30):
Also too, I think we forgot to mention in the
last segment, this is the era in which Sprite became
the black soda.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Oh, because they was doing all the black people commercials. Yep,
hey remember remember shaying Shan and k R S one
and the commercial yeah commercial, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7 (37:49):
You know that's actually older than we think because they
were doing that since the eighties. The first one had
what's the dude that did the breaks, Curtis Blow?
Speaker 5 (37:59):
Oh yeah, that's right.
Speaker 8 (38:01):
Yeah, yes, you don't want Shan to try to do that?
Now do that?
Speaker 4 (38:05):
Course?
Speaker 5 (38:06):
Now, well you go back there to say with three
about that.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
We're gonna come back and we're gonna talk about who
ran the nineties or the full left version of The
Good Old Boys Radio Show. Follow us on mixcloud or
check us out on pushplaypods dot com. Back on the
Good Old Boys Forecast Media Radio Network talking about the nineties. So,
I don't know if y'all have asked we asked yourselves,
(38:34):
like you know that the askers these questions and you
wanted to wait. But let's let's let's let's pick who
was the dominant force for each of these categories.
Speaker 5 (38:45):
And uh, we'll start with sports.
Speaker 7 (38:48):
Michael Jordan.
Speaker 5 (38:49):
Gotta be Michael Jordan.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
Right, Nah, you're gonna be under the joy.
Speaker 7 (38:57):
He's currently the coach of the Colorado Buffaloes.
Speaker 4 (39:01):
Stop.
Speaker 7 (39:03):
Okay, he was in the top five, but he wasn't Jordan.
Speaker 5 (39:07):
He's top five, Jordan, Tyson, Bo Jackson.
Speaker 7 (39:12):
It's Jordan. It's not even close.
Speaker 3 (39:17):
Commercial He got a lot of the commercials for his shoes.
So Bow was definitely up there before his injury.
Speaker 5 (39:23):
Yeah, Bow was up there for sure, but.
Speaker 7 (39:27):
Nobody cared about baseball that much.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
But but none of them, Jordan and Tyson was more
in the late eighties. Was his run actually started, so
so he can't take over.
Speaker 7 (39:39):
And bo Jackson didn't last he was done by ninety five.
Speaker 5 (39:43):
Yeah, so that one was easy music.
Speaker 7 (39:47):
Music, Ryan Carry.
Speaker 5 (39:52):
Mariah Carrey, You said r Kelly, who.
Speaker 8 (39:57):
I'll say Mary, Mary or Whitney?
Speaker 5 (40:00):
So can I pick a group?
Speaker 8 (40:03):
Who Tang?
Speaker 5 (40:04):
Who Tang? Little Biggers on the Swamp.
Speaker 7 (40:08):
I actually had all five of those written down, so
it could have been any of those to me, because
they pretty much were like from ninety to ninety nine
where there was some sort of impact.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
Yeah, yeah, Men ninety three, Tupac, No, no Wo wou
Te who came in ninety three, ninety three, Yeah, ninety three,
ninety four, but no.
Speaker 5 (40:34):
No Dius, no, no Big, no pot.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
Man, because it was it was like mid though. You
get into it, you got it. I'm talking like, hey, listen,
I know that he came. It was like late eighties,
but he was in the early nineties and was doing
stuff still up until what.
Speaker 5 (40:51):
Spots Now came out in nineteen ninety one.
Speaker 7 (40:53):
Until ninety two, Okay it was done.
Speaker 6 (40:57):
Yeah, I'd say Mary was the most consistent throughout the nineties.
Like Mariah had that glitter blur, that sort of she
was kind of off a little bit, but she was
dominant throughout. Whitney kind of had that period after The
Preacher's Wife before that My Love is Your Love album
where she was kind of quiet. But yeah, for the
(41:18):
most part, Mary was consistent from ninety one through ninety nine,
So that's why I went with her.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
Well, what if you go with label are you gonna
go bad boy death bro no limit.
Speaker 5 (41:32):
The face.
Speaker 7 (41:35):
Yeah yeah, little face with you know the face would
have been my pick. Yeah, I'm gonna pick the face too.
But I came to this conclusion maybe a month ago.
If h Andre Harrel had not fired Puff Be Diddy,
for the people listening, Uptail Records would have been the
(41:55):
number one boutique record label in the country because they
would have signed Biggie and Craig Mac And if you
look at the roster, they would have had Meggie, Craig Mac,
Father m c Jo, Deasy, Redhead, Kingpin, Heavy D and
the boys. I'll be sure Christopher Williams. They would have
been running the charts.
Speaker 6 (42:15):
Mary Mario, there's no long gonna last along because he
would have killed Andre Herrel.
Speaker 5 (42:22):
He probably would have.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
Given given his track record, he probably did.
Speaker 4 (42:28):
We don't know.
Speaker 7 (42:33):
I mean, I'll be showing pretty much said he did.
Speaker 3 (42:35):
Betta be careful boy? Did he did he out hear
sewing people. You're gonna get that counter suit for defamation
out here, man.
Speaker 4 (42:47):
Uh uh.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
I think that the nineties nineties music, I don't think
that we're ever going to experience that again. Like like
there's like you talking about a decade of great artistry
and music.
Speaker 5 (43:00):
Man, like, we haven't seen that again and we didn't
see it before.
Speaker 2 (43:04):
Really like with that, like, think about all the people
we all named four different people.
Speaker 5 (43:11):
Well, we said who dominated music? It was right, all
of us were right. You know, uh movies, who who
is the movie star? Movie star?
Speaker 1 (43:22):
Like?
Speaker 5 (43:23):
Who dominated?
Speaker 4 (43:23):
For me?
Speaker 8 (43:24):
It's the zep Oh well I disagree with that one.
Speaker 7 (43:28):
Uh probably Tom Cruise. Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna say.
Speaker 6 (43:35):
I'm gonna say, you know, I don't say Wesley. Wesley
dominated the nineties.
Speaker 3 (43:39):
Yes, that's what's up, right, fan, white Man Can't Jump,
Money Train, Jack City, Jungle Fever.
Speaker 5 (43:47):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 8 (43:48):
It was like every year he had a blockbuster.
Speaker 3 (43:50):
Movie, true, and he had a sex scene written into
every contract.
Speaker 2 (43:57):
Buddy trained, white Man can't Jump dag It is Wesley? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (44:05):
Bro seven.
Speaker 5 (44:08):
He was playing. He was turning out movies. Murder on
sixteen hundred, right right, Dang.
Speaker 7 (44:16):
It was Wesley Simes. It really was.
Speaker 5 (44:19):
I ain't even mentioned more. Better Blues were.
Speaker 8 (44:22):
Two Long Food. That was the worst one.
Speaker 5 (44:29):
Okay, it got good reviews though him and Blaze.
Speaker 4 (44:34):
You know later on man like Wes was doing this.
Speaker 5 (44:37):
Wesley was the man Dan. He kind of hit the cliff, didn't.
Speaker 7 (44:40):
He he did.
Speaker 2 (44:43):
You know, so like Dizzel wasn't as prolific, but Dizzel
like the cliff of Mount tax More. That was that
was that was his uh you know that that was
his fault. That was the people around him not not
having things like he's like they should have. Okay, yeah,
but now no, it's it's it's it's Wesley. From from
(45:06):
a directorial standpoint, we're going John Sangleton.
Speaker 7 (45:12):
Uh directorial would be the white dude with the beard, uh,
the Jewish guy what's his name?
Speaker 8 (45:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (45:21):
Yeah, yeah, because he did have Jurassic he had uh
sist he had everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that it is him.
I mean but he's the greatest director probably ever though.
Speaker 4 (45:37):
What about the what was the production that that did?
Speaker 7 (45:41):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (45:41):
New was a new line cinema they did like the
Freddy Krueger movies and all of that. They were deeping
out a lot of stuff like you know, late eighties
early nineties kind of rocketed and.
Speaker 2 (45:50):
They went out of business, either them or Orian Yeah,
they went out of business.
Speaker 7 (45:57):
I just knew if Orion came on at the beginning,
I was.
Speaker 5 (45:59):
Gonna like, all right, it's cool.
Speaker 4 (46:01):
It's cool.
Speaker 2 (46:02):
Yeah, all right, that's gonna wrap it up.
Speaker 7 (46:06):
Man.
Speaker 5 (46:06):
We're gonna close with uh.
Speaker 2 (46:09):
I had to pick us off from nineteen ninety nine,
so we picked the Faith Evans. This song ain't about
the nineties, but it's how I feel about the nineties.
Never gonna let you go, man, I'm always gonna be
playing some stuff for the nineties.
