Throwback Explains It All

The Gents get real about the undisputed king of 90's action flicks... none other than Arnold Schwarzenegger himself! He is arguably one of the greatest dudes who ever lived, but only ONE of his kids is jacked. Also, we talk Robert Pattinson as Batman, Jordan's hatred of Chuck Norris memes, and lament the end of the classic 80's/90's "robot voice." It simply does not exist anymore! Now all robots just sound like boring ass, creepy, calm, white ladies.

Jason and Jordan hold down the fort this week and talk about some of the stranger moments from the fine sport of BOXING during the 1990's. Mike Tyson biting off Evander Holyfield's ear, some guy parachuting into the middle of a Riddick Bowe fight, and of course the murder of Tupac Shakur in Vegas immediately following another Tyson bout. But first, for some reason The Gents spend an absurd amount of time discussing time-travel, self-driving cars, and all other sorts of dope futuristic shit. Oh, and also Julius Caesar.

The Gents take a moment to appreciate how much of an absolute circus the 90's Chicago Bulls were. Michael Jordan straight up just left for a year to play baseball. Dennis Rodman straight up just left in the middle of the '98 NBA Finals to join the nWo, which, honestly, was a baller move. Shout outs to Chippendales, Chip 'n' Dale, Gheorge Muresan's Cologne, Charles Barkley's deodorant, and the Utah Jazz for holding on to their original New Orleans team name despite moving the franchise to perhaps the least jazzy place in the United States.

The Gents discuss the life cycle of arguably the worst fashion fad of the 90's: JNCO Jeans. Pants so baggy they looked like denim teepees, with styles named wack-ass shit like "Pipes" and "Kangaroos" because of how big and stupid their leg holes and pockets were. These jeans were perfect for kids who wanted to look like skaters, but whose moms wouldn't let them because it was just too dangerous. Apparently, the brand relaunched in 2019, but did they ever really leave? And were they ever actually cool? (No, and no). On the polar opposite end of the spectrum... Jason takes great pains to explain a fashion trend that is MEGA COOL and yet EXTREMELY UNCOMMON. And that would be the chunky hoop earring on men. Worn exclusively by only the biggest of ballers, the single chunky hoop earing can pretty much only be found on the lobes of Michael Jordan and Harrison Ford. Tune in to hear the only other man who consistently pulls this look off!

The Gents keep summer going for one more week as they barrel through part two of their epic celebration of THE SONG OF THE SUMMER. This time the focus is on the Summer of '98 which absolutely CRUSHed it with songs like Usher's "My Way", Tubthumping, Ghetto Supastar, and Everybody (Backstreet's Back) ALL RIGHT!!! Oh... and of course "Crush" by Jennifer Paige, who just so happens to be our guest on this week's episode!
