Speaker 1: Look Maher, oh, I see you and look over there
Speaker 1: is that culture. Yes, goodness, Wow, Lost cult Ding Dong
Speaker 1: Lost Cultusa's calling yet another list.
Speaker 2: I hope you've all enjoyed the journey that we've embarked
Speaker 2: on collectively as culturistas, reader's keys, publicists, finalists.
Speaker 1: Lost Cultures is a collectivist podcast. We love collectivism. We
Speaker 1: love to collect all of our listeners and gather them
Speaker 1: and sort of take you as our own, whether you're
Speaker 1: a Katie, a finalist, a publicist, or reader, which is
Speaker 1: not really the order that we say that, and usually
Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter because you are part of a
Speaker 1: collectivist experience here at last Culture.
Speaker 2: Matt has made a really cute hand gesture. He said,
Speaker 2: doesn't it wasn't he did? He did little fingers kind
Speaker 2: of windshield wiping. Okay, this doesn't really remember that one. Yes,
Speaker 2: oh my god, Janet, Janet, Well that's a little preview
Speaker 2: of our next list, even though she's not on that list.
Speaker 2: On it but that would just wait, it'll all makes
Speaker 2: sense in about a month.
Speaker 1: Okay. But you know, in many ways she does figure
Speaker 1: into this list because this is decades top ten decades,
Speaker 1: and she has been a part of several decades in
Speaker 1: the world. But yeah, but as a person who has
Speaker 1: sort of really had an impact on many different decades,
Speaker 1: wouldn't you say?
Speaker 2: I would say so, And I mean the impact is
Speaker 2: across many media, film, television, music, damn of course, music, yes, choreography,
Speaker 2: the rich word, yeah, the written word.
Speaker 1: Has she written books? I think she's written songs, that's true.
Speaker 1: Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Let's talk about what's important,
Speaker 1: which is ranking the decades. But when what do you
Speaker 1: think earns a decade a spot on this list as
Speaker 1: one of the top ten decades.
Speaker 2: Here are my requirements. Okay, they need to span ten
Speaker 2: years at least, yes, at least at least for them
Speaker 2: to make this list. At least three of those years
Speaker 2: had to be pretty good.
Speaker 1: Yeah mm hmmm.
Speaker 2: They had to have turned out at least ten pop culture.
Speaker 1: Icons correct correct, correct, correct.
Speaker 2: Correct correct. And I think the last requirement is that
Speaker 2: there are pictures. Yeah, you can visualize what things looked like. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I need to close my eyes and be able to
Speaker 2: picture it. Now, what do you have to say?
Speaker 1: Charisma, unique, missionary, and talent as always. All right, let's
Speaker 1: get into it. This are the top ten decades as
Speaker 1: ranked by Lost Culture resas Matt Rogers and Baun Yang
Speaker 1: acclaimed podcasters, and it just gets bigger and bigger. This
Speaker 1: is why I'm a here about why we're about to
Speaker 1: make concisive cultural commentary on the top ten decades. And
Speaker 1: of course every decade was considered. We sat tirelessly and
Speaker 1: thought for months about this. Hundreds of decades. Every decade
Speaker 1: was carefully considered. It just so happened. This is how
Speaker 1: it shook out. I hope no decade takes offense. But
Speaker 1: should we start at number ten?
Speaker 2: Let's start at number ten for the list of the
Speaker 2: top ten decades Lost cult.
Speaker 1: Lost Culture, number ten, the ten tens. This is pretty recent.
Speaker 1: This was actually fairly recent if you really think about
Speaker 1: the world, if you think of the world as the clock,
Speaker 1: this was but a half second ago. Ye, Because of course,
Speaker 1: this is just to say the impact of this decade
Speaker 1: is time is actually an ever flowing river. That's actually
Speaker 1: a line from the Jurassic Park River Adventure. The twenty
Speaker 1: tens were really Obama.
Speaker 2: That for one, Well, let's not forget Trump too.
Speaker 1: He was also there. See here, I am there, And
Speaker 1: isn't that so the twenty tens us like, yes, it
Speaker 1: was good, but also it was bad, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Like, really, the first five six years of
Speaker 1: the twenty tens were sort of a cultural period of renaissance,
Speaker 1: and then we sort of descended into hell.
Speaker 2: This at the beginning of this decade was the pop
Speaker 2: diva is going.
Speaker 1: At it off, off, off, and at it going.
Speaker 2: Off, just dressed up in ridiculous outfits, writing ridiculous songs
Speaker 2: about self love. I mean, there was an optimism in
Speaker 2: the air that might have blinded us to the realities
Speaker 2: of the world.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I mean, I think when Rihanna released her Loud
Speaker 1: album that only could have been released during the Obama years,
Speaker 1: I think she could only have felt such pride and
Speaker 1: such experimentalism during that time, which was a very much
Speaker 1: one of abandon very much one of possibility. And she said,
Speaker 1: so I'm going to die my hair fire hydrant red, yes,
Speaker 1: and say, oh no, no, what's the name?
Speaker 2: Now? You think Loud is her most experimental album.
Speaker 1: I think that it was our most experimental hair color,
Speaker 1: and that bled into the music red blood red as
Speaker 1: red as it were.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, well, what else is there to say about the
Speaker 2: twenty tens.
Speaker 1: I don't know, we covered Obama, Trump and the Loud album,
Speaker 1: but from Rihanna. So I think that's why the twenty
Speaker 1: tens are number ten on the list of top ten decades.
Speaker 1: Number nine.
Speaker 3: Seventies Okay, disco inferno for real, first of all, girl,
Speaker 3: and I would say flower power for sure, and you know,
Speaker 3: hippie love crossing over, so it's hippie love was more sixties.
Speaker 3: But then, of course, you know, one hundred percent what
Speaker 3: you experienced in the seventies was something a little thing
Speaker 3: called disco disco.
Speaker 2: Nixon Will is maybe going to be impeached.
Speaker 1: Here you go again saying I'm here saying bout of
Speaker 1: power love disco, and you're saying Nixon, No.
Speaker 2: I just we have to contextualize the pop culture with
Speaker 2: the world culture, the political culture.
Speaker 1: You're so right, And that's sort of the tension here
Speaker 1: in this type of list is because during all these decades,
Speaker 1: I mean, there were certainly icons, I mean one word Travolta,
Speaker 1: but there was also the dark side. I mean one
Speaker 1: word Travolta.
Speaker 2: Travolta. Oh my god, you think Travolta is the perfect
Speaker 2: vessel for the complexities of this decade.
Speaker 1: Fiva Knight is my response to what you just said,
Speaker 1: I think that basically there was a huge boom of
Speaker 1: Travoltaism in the seventies. There was actually a political movement
Speaker 1: they called Travoltaists were sort of all over the world,
Speaker 1: and they didn't know what was bubbling under the surface,
Speaker 1: which was some chaos, some tension, some tug and tug
Speaker 1: and pull. As a part everything was getting tugged and pulled. Girl,
Speaker 1: I mean back behind the scenes as Studio fifty four. Huh,
Speaker 1: you don't get what's happening at Studio fifty four?
Speaker 2: Can I say maybe one of the only decades on
Speaker 2: this list where retroactively icons were made. When I say
Speaker 2: the names Kelso, Fez, Jackie, I mean these are seventies
Speaker 2: icons that were made in the nineties.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say something right now, and I know this
Speaker 1: is gonna be a rural culture after it lands. Most
Speaker 1: important Jackie of the twentieth century me Lacunis Melacunas. That's
Speaker 1: rural culture number five, most important Jackie of the century centry.
Speaker 2: I think that was Oh that Jackie was Mela Curtis.
Speaker 2: I was thinking Lora Prepon was Donna. I was getting
Speaker 2: Donna and Jackie mixed stuff.
Speaker 1: So famously, Donna, it wasn't even funny.
Speaker 2: I know, I know, But again, there's a darkness to
Speaker 2: that seventies show with the Danny Masterson of it all.
Speaker 1: You can't help yourself, Lisa Robin Kelly of it all.
Speaker 2: Let's not forget it. I mean there was darkness a foot.
Speaker 1: Well, anything with success comes a price, and I think
Speaker 1: that that is the reason why the nineteen seventies are
Speaker 1: number nine on top ten decades.
Speaker 2: Last culture number eight seventeen seventies.
Speaker 1: Well, look who's arrived on the scene. Her name is America.
Speaker 1: And no I'm not talking about miss Ferreira, she would
Speaker 1: come two hundred years later. America was first a country,
Speaker 1: a nation, and really a statement of the world. We're here.
Speaker 2: There are so many iconic moments from this decade. Oh honey,
Speaker 2: I mean, honey, when I say the words the British.
Speaker 1: Are coming, who tell me what?
Speaker 2: Let me count the words one, two, three, four, four,
Speaker 2: words that have resonated through the centuries.
Speaker 1: Revere did that, Paul Revere. I Revere him. And you know,
Speaker 1: there were so many people that were making big impacts
Speaker 1: at this time. I mean John Hancock. Whenever you say,
Speaker 1: put your Hancock on that. You know exactly what it is.
Speaker 1: It means a big signature. And sure, if you did
Speaker 1: sign a document as big as him, you might earn
Speaker 1: the ire of your colleagues and friends. But let's just
Speaker 1: say that. He famously said he wanted the British to
Speaker 1: see it all the way across the Atlantic, and baby,
Speaker 1: we certainly feel it all these years later.
Speaker 2: Here's my theory on John Hancock. This is the place
Speaker 2: for theories, for theories. He grew up every birthday card
Speaker 2: that he signed. He kept it short, he kept it small.
Speaker 2: You know, he was just writing his initials down in
Speaker 2: the tiniest possible lettering. And I think he knew the
Speaker 2: impact of the Declaration of Independence, and he said, you
Speaker 2: know what, I'm gonna make my mark. Enough of the shrinking,
Speaker 2: enough minimizing myself. I'm gonna really put my mark on
Speaker 2: this document. And now we're talking about him.
Speaker 1: A lot of people are saying it in quiet voices,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna say it with my full test right now.
Speaker 1: John Hancock signing the Declaration of Independence was his Rihanna
Speaker 1: loud moment. He said, I will no longer be silent.
Speaker 1: I am dying my hair, fire fire engine read. I
Speaker 1: am absolutely saying, hold on, what's the name John Hancock?
Speaker 1: And I hope that the King can see it from
Speaker 1: across the Atlantica.
Speaker 2: You think John Hancock said, I will no longer be
Speaker 2: silent in the words of the new Jazzmine song in
Speaker 2: the Aladdin Live Action movie, I will.
Speaker 1: Not remain speechless. I will not remain speechless. That's what
Speaker 1: she said.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, what if that song is a nod
Speaker 2: to John Hancock?
Speaker 1: I think everything is, And that is what The seventeen
Speaker 1: seventies ranked at number eight on Top Ten Decades Last
Speaker 1: College number seven twenty twenties. I hear some roaring in
Speaker 1: the distance. I'm just gonna get out of the way. Early.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it ended in austerity and tragedy, people jumping off
Speaker 2: buildings in the financial district in New York on Wall Street.
Speaker 2: But wow, oh boy, did we have a nice party
Speaker 2: leading up to that moment.
Speaker 1: And you know, I think it's so important that we
Speaker 1: acknowledged that tension and that ultim ultimately this really did
Speaker 1: not go so great. But the Roaring twenties, Wow, did
Speaker 1: they roar in the beginning. I mean, the Great Gatsby
Speaker 1: This was a book that really talked about excess. It
Speaker 1: really talked about you know, the pros to cons you know,
Speaker 1: the green light on Daisy's doc. That's definitely something that
Speaker 1: people wrote essays about cars. That book was about cars
Speaker 1: and the tragedies that can come out from them.
Speaker 2: Yes, the American dream was having a car driving into
Speaker 2: the city seeing a Broadway show perhaps, mm hmm, And
Speaker 2: I would say it's.
Speaker 1: About whoo oh, absolutely, let's prohibit prohibition. First of all,
Speaker 1: can you talk about the effect of this decade on
Speaker 1: Real Housewives themed parties?
Speaker 2: Not just real I'm not going to limit it to
Speaker 2: Real Housewives themed parties. I'm just gonna I'm gonna go
Speaker 2: ahead and expand it all to and I'm sorry to
Speaker 2: bring make it about race. It is it is white
Speaker 2: people's favorite thing to do, a Great Gatsby themed party
Speaker 2: to do. I think it's a white people's favorite thing
Speaker 2: to do, you know, speak easy moment. Yeah, But I
Speaker 2: think I think, I think what transcends race is Chicago.
Speaker 2: I think Chicago is the thing that is a level.
Speaker 2: I think Chicago is the more relevant nineteen twenties work
Speaker 2: in America then the Great Gatsby because everyone loved Chicago,
Speaker 2: but only real housewives love I mean everyone loved Chicago.
Speaker 2: Have to throw a themed party after it. Only a
Speaker 2: certain amount of people, a certain group of people love
Speaker 2: the Great Gatsby to throw a party. Does that make sense?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it made It made perfect sense to me. And
Speaker 1: I would also say that Chicago being one of the
Speaker 1: great films of the two thousands, stay tuned, stay but
Speaker 1: for now we say that all this is why the
Speaker 1: nineteen twenties rank at number seven on Top ten Decades
Speaker 1: Lost Cult number six the two thousands. Now, what were
Speaker 1: you saying about Chicago? Dude?
Speaker 2: Tell this was a movie that came out in two
Speaker 2: thousand and two, two and three.
Speaker 1: Spiritually it came out in all those years.
Speaker 2: It was two thousand and two. I think it was
Speaker 2: two thousand and two. Miramax was at its peak. Thank you,
Speaker 2: Harvey Weinstein, Thank you God, Thank you God. He was
Speaker 2: the king of the two thousands, wouldn't you say.
Speaker 1: For better or worse? He was. He really started ruled
Speaker 1: the roost, ruled the roost.
Speaker 2: I mean, he was the one who was beaming images
Speaker 2: into our little eyeballs. Two people ruled the two thousands,
Speaker 2: Harvey Weinstein and Lauren els Conrad, who could forget when
Speaker 2: she burst onto the scene on the Laguna Beach and
Speaker 2: was the breakout star earning her own show.
Speaker 1: The Hills. At that moment, she became one of the
Speaker 1: leading players in Hollywood, alongside Harvey Weinstein.
Speaker 2: Now would you say that Lauren Conrad? I think she
Speaker 2: is so fascinating because how did that happen? She's actually
Speaker 2: one of the least compelling people in America. I would say,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go ahead and say.
Speaker 1: I think we all saw our not very compelling selves
Speaker 1: in her. And also, this was a time where you
Speaker 1: have to you have to remember every one wanted to
Speaker 1: look and be just like everyone else. So here was
Speaker 1: a girl who was put on TV by stroke of luck.
Speaker 1: She was wearing her side bang, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: She was sort of giving that hollistert look, and everyone said,
Speaker 1: I can cipher my personality down to her so easily
Speaker 1: because I know that she is exactly the boring thing
Speaker 1: that everyone wants, and she actually a smart individual said
Speaker 1: I'm going to take my basicness and take it to
Speaker 1: the moon. To this day, she's a trillionaire. She's a trillionaire.
Speaker 1: Do you remember I mean this is the two thousands.
Speaker 1: On a personal level, for me, I moved to New York,
Speaker 1: to the City of New York right as this City
Speaker 1: with the Whitney Port spun off, and that was a
Speaker 1: huge success to that show, major success, But to be real,
Speaker 1: it wasn't. And I think that was because once someone
Speaker 1: moved to the city, that just became a little bit
Speaker 1: too much. They were like, oh, the city, this girl's
Speaker 1: trying too hard. I mean the Hills sort of like
Speaker 1: she was able to, you know, still be like a
Speaker 1: lazy La girl.
Speaker 2: Right. If once Whitney moved to the city, I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: New York swallows you up.
Speaker 1: It did.
Speaker 2: It changed her, It changed her. But I'm saying, like,
Speaker 2: you disappear because these people don't give a shit about you.
Speaker 1: It's New York City. What an interesting choice to spin
Speaker 1: off the show with the character who the entire time
Speaker 1: in the Hills literally only ever said oh my god, seriously,
Speaker 1: what happened then? But what then?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: You did not? What did you say?
Speaker 2: She became the sort of fan favorite because she was
Speaker 2: totally neutral. I think they didn't give Audrena a chance.
Speaker 2: Audrena should have led something. You're making a face. I
Speaker 2: think Audrena was the star.
Speaker 1: Did you know that Audrina, speaking of the two thousands,
Speaker 1: was in the film Sorority Row. Did you ever see
Speaker 1: the film Sorority I didn't know that it was a
Speaker 1: serial killer movie about they all came to a sorority. Yes, yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: I do remember this because those were the days when
Speaker 1: I was on IMDb every day, just looking up any
Speaker 1: person I could think of. And I remember going on
Speaker 1: Audrina Patrich's IMDb and in production in parentheses, I see
Speaker 1: Sorority Row, What's this and just following it with baited breath.
Speaker 1: The two thousands were peak IMDb message board culture.
Speaker 2: Can we just can we also.
Speaker 1: Just give a toast to the movies of that era.
Speaker 1: I love it all.
Speaker 2: Sorority boys, just friends. I'm saying this is American pie too. Uh.
Speaker 2: Back to the House, Back to the house. These are
Speaker 2: the movies of the two thousands. I'm not going to
Speaker 2: say any prestige titles. I'm just going to say the
Speaker 2: mid to low tier movies that were that were put
Speaker 2: out in theaters, because wow, do I yearn for that
Speaker 2: time for movies that are not very good to proliferate
Speaker 2: the American cinema.
Speaker 1: And that reason is why the two thousands rank at
Speaker 1: number six on Top ten Decades Lost Culture, number five BC.
Speaker 1: Now does this count as a decade. I think it
Speaker 1: does because I think we can all agree that in
Speaker 1: this world, in this little thing we call life, there
Speaker 1: was before Christ, and after Christ, he came along and
Speaker 1: shook it up. Don't say what you want about your
Speaker 1: religious beliefs quietly to yourself. But you can't. You can't deny.
Speaker 1: This young girl was a legend. She came along and
Speaker 1: she made everybody listen, doing her tricks, making her magic,
Speaker 1: turning water into wine. I said, this is how you
Speaker 1: do it. This is how you capture a conversation. This
Speaker 1: was the original LC because people were like, I'm seeing you,
Speaker 1: and I'm watching I'm watching you.
Speaker 2: Jesus, this is what This is what Jesus did to
Speaker 2: the girls. This is how Jesus gagged the girls. M hm,
Speaker 2: he did his thing, passed away. This is what the
Speaker 2: girls said. Around the world, at least in the Roman Empire.
Speaker 2: Start the clock again, Reset the.
Speaker 1: Clock, start it over. Can you imagine? Yeah? I can't.
Speaker 2: Who would have to die today in order for all
Speaker 2: of us to be like worse worse we're restarting the
Speaker 2: clock were the calendar is back to zero.
Speaker 1: We all know that answer is Beyonce Noles, Beyonce Knowles.
Speaker 1: But you know what's funny is we've been talking about
Speaker 1: the impact of Jesus and BC is famously before. So
Speaker 1: this was the prequel. Okay, let's talk about BC.
Speaker 2: You had the ancient Greeks, the dinosaurs, the dinosaurs, you
Speaker 2: have the algae, the little things in the water, sharks, sharks,
Speaker 2: the Assyrians, the Mesopotamian mm hmm, the Chinese, the Japanese.
Speaker 1: Oh and by the way, all these groups getting so
Speaker 1: messy with each other, like getting all into it with
Speaker 1: each other. Like there was not a time when there
Speaker 1: wasn't a war. There was not a time of peace.
Speaker 1: There was always a time of unrest until BC, and
Speaker 1: then afterwards there was a time of relative peace before
Speaker 1: he was sort of offt at thirty three, and then
Speaker 1: there was unrest again. But there was a beautiful time
Speaker 1: there in BC where it was just like sort of
Speaker 1: like all the girls sort of tussling for the top spot.
Speaker 2: Yes, and none of them, no, one really want out.
Speaker 1: No to say war is not the answer.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: And because we finally arrived at that message. That is
Speaker 1: why the BC is number five on top ten decades
Speaker 1: Lost coach. Oh, this one gets me excited to even
Speaker 1: see number four.
Speaker 2: This was a huge decade in culture, in history.
Speaker 1: Should we get a special guest to speak to the eighties? Yes, Mom,
Speaker 1: come in here.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, this is so huge. We are about
Speaker 2: to get an expert on the eighties with us on
Speaker 2: the podcast.
Speaker 1: I want some tea spilled on the eighties. So take this,
Speaker 1: put it in your ear on the podcast. Hi, Hi Katrina.
Speaker 1: So come on now, we're talking about the top ten
Speaker 1: decades of all time and number four is the nineteen eighties.
Speaker 1: So could you share with us some things that happened
Speaker 1: in the eighties? Eighties? What are your favorite memories? What
Speaker 1: are your favorite memories? Well? I worked in disco text
Speaker 1: she worked in disco texts. So what the kind of
Speaker 1: things did you see there? But we'll never forget.
Speaker 4: I'll never forget. Let me say all the fabulous styles,
Speaker 4: the high shoulder pants, the big belts, the big air.
Speaker 1: Who did your party with in the club that you
Speaker 1: always talk about? Let's see?
Speaker 4: Well, yes, I can next to Andre the Giant and
Speaker 4: I and I chased Superman.
Speaker 1: Oh, Christo.
Speaker 4: I was standing there and I was kind of near
Speaker 4: the men's bathroom and I saw him walking and I
Speaker 4: walked into the men's bathroom to try to.
Speaker 1: Go and meet him.
Speaker 4: And then I was checking and I turned around.
Speaker 1: Oh my, Patrina, that is amazing. Wow. So the eighties
Speaker 1: you would say were a crazy, wild time. It was
Speaker 1: a crazy world. Do you miss that?
Speaker 4: Well, let's say I had a lot of fun. You know,
Speaker 4: I was a bartender in a nightclub. I was the
Speaker 4: only girl, and I had all these gorgeous guys.
Speaker 1: Were they gay?
Speaker 4: There was not many gay guys there, but there were some.
Speaker 1: There were some, just like the world, not many, but
Speaker 1: some not. I had a lot of fun. I bet
Speaker 1: you did with all those hot guys.
Speaker 4: You know, all the dancing. And I have to tell you,
Speaker 4: in the eighties we had the nightclubs, but then on
Speaker 4: special nights, the nightclubs turned into alternative dance clubs, alternative rock,
Speaker 4: punk rock.
Speaker 1: You loved punk rock.
Speaker 4: I loved it because it was the time where because
Speaker 4: I didn't really do like the you know, the real
Speaker 4: disco dancing. But when you went to a punk rock
Speaker 4: alternative rock nightclub, you could just go out on the
Speaker 4: dance ploort.
Speaker 1: You could dance by yourself. You can just dance by yourself.
Speaker 4: The way people dressed like I because I worked in
Speaker 4: the Varmba district and I went down to like the
Speaker 4: West village and I went into a shop at through
Speaker 4: at store and I bought myself a big old like code.
Speaker 4: It was like the military code. And I and I
Speaker 4: had white pat and leather flat shoes. And you wouldn't
Speaker 4: dance at went against the grade.
Speaker 1: You kind of went against the green.
Speaker 4: You could do that in the eighties getting queer people
Speaker 4: there and got alternative night because they were just alternative stuff.
Speaker 1: Fabulous. You have a round of proposed between she did,
Speaker 1: and that is why the nineteen eighties are number four
Speaker 1: on top ten decades Lost Coast.
Speaker 2: Thanks she did amazing. That was fab I mean we
Speaker 2: can't we can't beat that. We cannot add to that up.
Speaker 1: That was the first person to account. That was a witness,
Speaker 1: primary source. Okay, number three, going seventies. I put this twice.
Speaker 2: Matt put this on twice. I think you meant to
Speaker 2: say nineteen sixties.
Speaker 1: Nineteen sixties. Maybe that's what I meant to say.
Speaker 2: Number three, number three, I mean the nineteen sixties were
Speaker 2: This was when America and the world figured out what
Speaker 2: was beautiful. I'm just gonna say that that's a beautiful sentiment.
Speaker 2: This was when everyone cared about the way things looked
Speaker 2: in a way that was not shallow, in a way
Speaker 2: that was intentional. Indeed, that's that. This was when you
Speaker 2: had so many new fonts appear, new styles of clothing appeared,
Speaker 2: new hairdews appeared, new net upper styles. I'm being totally
Speaker 2: serious here. I think the sixties were a very important
Speaker 2: time for esthetics.
Speaker 1: Not only that, you wouldn't even have Forrest Gump without
Speaker 1: the sixties. Girl, you and you hate to stay tuned
Speaker 1: because the Forest Gump came out of the nineties. Stay tuned.
Speaker 1: Let's just say Robin Wright, she represented the sixties.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, you know what, I was going
Speaker 2: to say, the seventies gave us retroactive icons. Of course,
Speaker 2: the sixties gave us retrographtive icons.
Speaker 1: As we two words, Janis Joplin.
Speaker 2: I was going to say, Don draper I was going
Speaker 2: to say, Don draper.
Speaker 1: Man talk about how mad Man was one of the
Speaker 1: great series.
Speaker 2: Mad Men was appointment television, maybe one of the last
Speaker 2: Oh well, you know what, no succession was. Succession was
Speaker 2: monoculture and was appointment television. So I take that back.
Speaker 2: Mad Men didn't do anything, did nothing.
Speaker 1: But still, you know, we respect what it tried to
Speaker 1: do and we respect it. Really trying to capture a time,
Speaker 1: a time that is actually ranked on this list Top
Speaker 1: ten decades. Last Coach at number three, the nineteen sixties,
Speaker 1: number two.
Speaker 2: Fifties, post war el Agonza, one of those.
Speaker 1: Times where mothers were smoking cigarettes in the kitchen. They said,
Speaker 1: you know what, go ahead, take the bike, kids, go
Speaker 1: wherever you want. There's no risk of abduction.
Speaker 2: This was when you go leave the door unlocked. We
Speaker 2: just moved to the suburbs from the city, and we
Speaker 2: have money, honey, because guess what, America is Number one.
Speaker 1: A time of great flow from America.
Speaker 2: Flow, amazing prosper, amazing prosper.
Speaker 1: At this time, this was a time of very cool cars,
Speaker 1: very cool offhand parenting like les fair as they say
Speaker 1: yes to borrow from the French. And then of course,
Speaker 1: you know the fifties, it was very businessman culture, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. They were going into the city
Speaker 1: with their flat brimmed hats saying how you doing, Mike, Oh,
Speaker 1: how there, don don Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well talk about
Speaker 1: the darkness of the decade, talk about the darkness.
Speaker 2: Well, you know what, the fifties were actually quite nice.
Speaker 2: There wasn't there wasn't too much darkness, and that's why
Speaker 2: it ranks so high.
Speaker 1: That was reported.
Speaker 3: Girl.
Speaker 2: You know what, history is written by the victors, and
Speaker 2: I'm sure the losers of the time would have something
Speaker 2: else to say.
Speaker 1: I guess what.
Speaker 2: That wasn't us, That wasn't America.
Speaker 1: We don't take responsibility for that. You know what. It's
Speaker 1: like the seventies, the late seventies, nineteen seventy eight that
Speaker 1: saw the film Grease released, and that was about the fifties.
Speaker 2: Correct, I'm not sure Ride el High, Ride al High,
Speaker 2: But was that the fifties.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's say that was the fifties. Back to the
Speaker 1: Future also depicted in nineteen fifty five.
Speaker 2: I mean, this was American ideal, This was American peace.
Speaker 2: There was event and we are speaking as an American
Speaker 2: America first to bar Donald Trump, where we're speaking as
Speaker 2: an America first podcast and this is.
Speaker 1: This is this is this is the time.
Speaker 2: When people are can most universally agree as those were
Speaker 2: the days.
Speaker 1: You know what I think. I think that you're right.
Speaker 1: And also, you know what I think is a literal
Speaker 1: mess that we are taking a really sweet figure in
Speaker 1: the culture, which was the Milkman, and we're making it
Speaker 1: about adultery. But that happened. This is the darkness I
Speaker 1: was talking about that they don't talk.
Speaker 2: About the fifties were I'm just gonna say, I'm going
Speaker 2: to venture to guests. I don't have the exact dates
Speaker 2: and years. I think this was when we were all
Speaker 2: a little scared. We were like, well, we have we
Speaker 2: have a means to wipe out humanity with the nuclear weapons.
Speaker 2: That was a time of girl, where are the nukes.
Speaker 1: Hide under the desk? Why don't you? Oh? You know what?
Speaker 2: And I thought there would be no darkness, And here
Speaker 2: I am ending it on darkness.
Speaker 1: Bet this is one of the darkest things I'll ever say.
Speaker 1: You can find darkness anywhere anywhere. So true, so true, bestie. Oh,
Speaker 1: this is why the nineteen AFT's rank at number two
Speaker 1: on the Top ten decades lost cult number one the
Speaker 1: ninety nineteen nineties, who.
Speaker 2: Gave us these two icons right here, queen, there is
Speaker 2: nothing that can compare to this period do you remember.
Speaker 1: When five girls came into the public consciousness? Ginger, posh, baby,
Speaker 1: scary and sporty.
Speaker 2: I remember when five boys came in from the backstreet,
Speaker 2: That's for sure.
Speaker 1: Kevin A.
Speaker 2: J Nick Howie how more and more, there's there was
Speaker 2: the Brian.
Speaker 1: Trump, Brian Trumper Trump or.
Speaker 2: I think half of them are Trumpers. Tracks tracks, Well,
Speaker 2: the nineties, even the scandals of the nineties, even the
Speaker 2: darkness of the nineties was pretty pretty, pretty fun, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Well, this was the first decade of pulp, of pulp.
Speaker 2: But I'm saying, like, God, bless Monica Lewinsky for surviving
Speaker 2: what is a traumatic ordeal. But you gotta admit the
Speaker 2: Lewinsky scandal was like get the popcorn out, Like this
Speaker 2: is crazy, honey.
Speaker 1: Not only am I chewing down popcorn to Lewinsky scandal,
Speaker 1: I'm watching OJ fucking drive down the four or five
Speaker 1: and I am wrapped.
Speaker 2: I'm saying, what is going on today? I go to
Speaker 2: the damn Multiplex. I'm waiting in line I'm waiting in
Speaker 2: line four.
Speaker 1: Titanic say it.
Speaker 2: This decade gave us everything, and it was firing on
Speaker 2: all cylinders, you know, I.
Speaker 1: Would say two words what I said before fours And
Speaker 1: sure someone will watch it now and they think it's
Speaker 1: an effie movie. But guess what. You don't understand magical realism.
Speaker 1: You don't understand nineties culture, maximalism, more is more, stupid
Speaker 1: is smart? Do you understand nineties? If you don't get it,
Speaker 1: then get out, get out.
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna say some words, some names, even Clinton,
Speaker 2: you know I was gonna say, Molly, Shannon, Cherio, Terry.
Speaker 1: Yes, now Christ, say the words. This was a time
Speaker 1: of true peak SNL. Oh, I think you could not deny.
Speaker 2: You can't deny coming off of Sandler Spade, you know,
Speaker 2: Farley like Norm.
Speaker 1: I mean like this, what this?
Speaker 2: There was a pre and post like Norm SNL and
Speaker 2: this I'm sorry to wax, you know historic about SNL,
Speaker 2: but like this, what this was when I started watching?
Speaker 1: And I'm sure for you, oh, the same is so
Speaker 1: true for me, Mike Myers. Is something you forgotten? Mins?
Speaker 1: How dare I one of the kings of that decade?
Speaker 1: Especially this decade gave us Austin? It definitely did, and
Speaker 1: I would say that Austin powers. If anything has stood
Speaker 1: the test of time, everyone talks about it still every day.
Speaker 1: I would say, as millennials that we definitely get a
Speaker 1: bad wrap from gen Z. I would say that they
Speaker 1: definitely like think the millennials are the words they make
Speaker 1: up are things like choogy. But here's what I'll say
Speaker 1: to the to the gen Z generation, you're obsessed with
Speaker 1: the nineties. We had it first, bitch. We actually created
Speaker 1: that ship, we invented. You're obsessed. You basically what you're
Speaker 1: doing is you're recycling our culture. So nothing that you
Speaker 1: could ever.
Speaker 2: Do is original because oh low rise, oh oh oh
Speaker 2: oh oh, grunge, Olivia Rodrigo.
Speaker 1: We created Olivia Rodrigo. It's giving derivative. Let me say
Speaker 1: some more things.
Speaker 2: Tamagachi, Beanie, Baby, Pokemon three, Dragon Ball Z, Princess Diana,
Speaker 2: five Power Rangers, Sailor Moon six, seven Power Rangers. No
Speaker 2: one could ever really pinpoint how important it was to
Speaker 2: the first ever sexual attention captured on television was between
Speaker 2: Kimberly the Pink Ranger and Tommy the Green Ranger. Kimberly
Speaker 2: was he became the White Ranger, famously became the White Ranger.
Speaker 2: Kimberly was the crush for everybody, all the boys, gay, straight, whatever,
Speaker 2: and the and the queer girls were loving Kimberly Amy,
Speaker 2: Joe Williamsburg, Amy, Joe Johnson, William Williams, Girl, I know,
Speaker 2: I don't blaby.
Speaker 1: Joe Williamsburg's Wait yeah, girl, wait? Do you remember her film?
Speaker 1: This was a nineties film, Susie Q. Yes, I remember,
Speaker 1: Susi Q.
Speaker 2: Oh, My thank you is.
Speaker 1: Why the nineties rank as number one on the Top
Speaker 1: ten Decades Last Culture.
Speaker 2: I think I think we nailed this, and specifically you
Speaker 2: nailed this because you're the one who said this order
Speaker 2: even though you included nineteen seventies.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know what I meant, and you quickly
Speaker 1: said it was the sixties, which you were right about.
Speaker 1: And what I would say is that if you even
Speaker 1: think that like this this list was worth its salt,
Speaker 1: just stay tuned for two weeks from now, because my
Speaker 1: girl that I'm looking at on the zoom screen has
Speaker 1: perioded a list for the top ten deva moment. It
Speaker 1: will be our last list of the year. It will
Speaker 1: be the best list of the year, and you need
Speaker 1: to gird your loins and really understand that we're about
Speaker 1: to give it to you, like Christopher Reeve almost gave
Speaker 1: it to my mother on the age in the men's
Speaker 1: room at was It Today fifty four. I think that's
Speaker 1: what she said. It might have been to some other bar,
Speaker 1: it would be legendary. It was.
Speaker 2: Indeed, if Katrina Clarities would have followed Christopher Reeve into
Speaker 2: the men's room at Studio fifty four.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, beautiful man. Please And she left that
Speaker 1: part out, but I know that's true. All right, Well, listen,
