Remember the 2000s? A podcast about the dumbest decade in western history. So dumb most of it passed right through us without leaving us anything to think about, until now! We look at the most popular movies, subcultures, political movements, books, and video games of the decade and wonder what made them so popular to audiences in the 2000s, and how their legacy can still be seen today.

2006 Midterms: E138 Icky Thumpin’ | with Luke Savage
Hope you have your suit and limo, because it’s Rahm Night. In the wake of the 2026 midterms thumpin’ from the democrats, the Shuffle Bois are joined by Luke Savage (substack.com/@lukewsavage) of Michael and Us to discuss the 2006 midterms. 2006 is a highly similar setting: a deeply unpopular republican administration stuck in a quagmire in the middle east amid soaring gas prices that result in a historic win for the democrats. We focus on the figure of Rahm Emmanuel, who is “credited” with the midterms win, when in reality the democrats won despite Rahm, and all Rahm did was benefit from getting to decide the democrats’ ideology in an opportune year. They discuss some of the big themes of the election, including fundraising, the blogosphere, and centrism.Huge shoutout to our guest for coming on the pod!

Parks and Rec E137 Trick-or-Treat-Yourself | with Chris Wade
Trick-or-treat yourself to a Chris Wade appearance on Remember Shuffle to discuss the Ron Swan-Song of NBC’s 2000 sit com lineup, Parks and Recreation. A show that is good despite its cringe politics rather than because of them, Parks and Rec features an ensemble cast of exceptional improvisers putting on excellent performances. After describing each character and their improv point of view, the Shuffle Bois move on to discuss some of the themes and big ideas of the show, including Obamacore millennial optimism, austerity, corporate power in America, and the sad state of the average American citizen.Chris and the Chapos have Chunks live screenings across the country, check them out here:11/9 - San Francisco CA, Q&A with Amber Frost and Nate Fisher https://drafthouse.com/sf/event/live-q-a-chunks 11/11 - Austin TX, Q&A with Chris Wade hosted by Jake Rhodes https://drafthouse.com/austin/event/live-q-a-chunks 11/12 - Denver CO, Q&A with Amber, Chris & Nate https://drafthouse.com/denver/event/live-q-a-chunks 11/15 - Los Angeles CA, Q&A with Amber, Chris, Nate & More?? https://drafthouse.com/los-angeles/event/live-q-a-chunks 11/19 - Chicago IL, Q&A with Felix & E1 https://drafthouse.com/chicago/event/live-q-a-chunks And be sure to check out our Patreon here:https://www.patreon.com/c/RememberShuffle Check out our website to search for episodes at: remembershuffle.comGive Remember Shuffle a follow on Twitter And on Instagram @RememberShufflePod to interact with the show between episodes.

Minority Report: E136 Precrime and Punishment | DEMO
The machine has told us that you are inexorably fated to listen to this episode on Minority Report. An exceptional Steven Spielberg joint from the 2000s, it’s a techno-thriller, neo-noir, whodunit that also functions as a meditation on fate, predestination, and free will. It’s also an extremely prescient film in many ways and a really good movie. After describing the Y2K backstory behind the film, the shuffle bois do a beat-by-beat plot summary before turning to the themes and big ideas of the film: fate and predestination, prescience, and Spielberg’s fixation on the nuclear family.Check out our website to search for episodes at: remembershuffle.comGive Remember Shuffle a follow on Twitter And on Instagram @RememberShufflePod to interact with the show between episodes.

2000s Comedies: E134 Amuse Douche
The Shuffle Bois are joined by subject matter expert and author Matt Singer to discuss 2000s Frat Pack comedies. The crew and their guest first attempt to describe the traits of this particular sub-genre of highly successful 2000s comedy film, defined by raunchiness, improvisation, and frequent collaboration across a recurring group. They then trace the history of these films from Animal House, to Old School, through to the end of the decade with Step Brothers. En route, they discuss the death of comedy and the various trends and forces that led to its untimely demise, they analyze how these films approach male friendship, arrested development, and the role of women, and they close out by discussing these films’ style and (as always) the echoes in the culture.Check out Matt Singer’s website here, where you can pre-order his book Funny People before its October 6th release date.

Warhammer 40K: E133 Eldar Millenials | DEMO
The Shuffle Bois turn to the world of tabletop gaming in the 2000s. After briefly tracing the pre-Y2K history of the Warhmmer 40K world and game, they take a look and the state of the hobby in the 2000s. They do a tapas-style meal of faction snapshots, before talking about some themes and big ideas, including the grimdark world, the expansive lore, pastiche, satire, and the esoteric nature of the game and the high barriers to entry.Check out our Patreon for the full episode!Give Remember Shuffle a follow on Twitter And on Instagram @RememberShufflePod to interact with the show between episodes.

Joe Rogan E132: I do DMT and I Know Things
Remember Shuffle is joined by Freddy G ( https://www.instagram.com/orangefreddyg/ ) to discuss the 2000s comedy stylings of one Joe Rogan. While his 2000s work all takes place before this insatiably curious polymath’s meteoric rise to Podcast God, we can trace this man’s evolution from hack 90s road comic to the weed-guy, reddit-minded figure we recognize today. The Shuffle Bois and Freddy review each of the three specials that came out during our decade of interest before turning to some of the recurring themes and big ideas, both those found within Rogan’s comedic oeuvre (like is fixation with the metaphysical), as well as what his career represents, like the platforming of cancelled people and the phenomenon of cohortification.

Anthony Bourdain E131: Down and Out in a High Stress Luncheon
The release of Matt Johnson’s Tony has us mulling on a 2000 book which had a profound effect on the culture: Kitchen Confidential. We explore the tell-all book, Bourdain’s cable TV shows, the documentary RoadRunner and the 2026 film based on the book (starring Stavros Halkias, hell yeah dude). We talk about the food culture of the year 2000, and how much it changed over the following decade, counter culture and competency in the kitchen.
