Hello, friends. My name is Cody Rigsby, and I'm Andrew Chappelle. And if you're still

ranking your MySpace top eight, this is your weekly episode of tactful pettiness.

Aw, that was great, Andrew. Beautiful work on both our behalf. Listeners, friends, booze out in the

world, we just want to welcome you to a very special episode. We are back, honey. This is our second installment of Scam of the Decade, 2000s edition. Oh, 2000s, yes. Yes, because we're going in order. That would make sense. Yes. We got to give the girls chronological order. Yeah, this is our kind of like homage to like, I love the 90s, I love the 2000s, which is a beautiful television program.

And in fact, I actually saw a meme the other day that said, they need to bring that show back because some of these kids don't know a damn thing about a damn thing.

They don't know the cultural references.

They're not going back and learning about their pop culture history. It's something I pride myself on, knowing the references.

And that tends to happen.

Where I kind of like did listen to Brittany, but like on the low so people wouldn't make fun of me.

So I kind of rediscovered even some of Britney's eras in college.

A big one was Jen and Jackson.

I went back and just like downloaded probably illegally.

2000s edition. A lot of her discography. And I always kind of wonder what it would be like to go into a

time machine and go back into these eras and live them. And I think that is kind of like what we're doing

here. It's like, this is our opportunity. Yeah, we're going into the time machine. We're going to talk about things that
