American Idol: It's A No For Me Dawg
When American Idol first premiered in the June 2002 it quickly became a surprise summer hit. That September, over 23 million people turned in to the season finale as Kelly Clarkson was crowned our first American Idol. But after 22 seasons, today's Idol's viewership pales by comparison. The most recent February 2024 premiere clocked in with just 4 million viewers. And despite many reboots, network changes and rotating judges, the most recent winners have failed to make their mark. This week we dig into American Idol history including some of the famous, infamous and forgettable contestants and then as usual each pitch how we'd fix the show for today.

My Buddy And His Cousin Chucky
The My Buddy doll burst onto the scene in 1985 with overalls, a bowl cut and a banging jingle. But by the mid 1990's My Buddy was a distant memory. So what happened? And how did My Buddy become synonymous with the murderous Chucky doll from Child's Play? This week we dig into the history of the first "doll for boys" and then as usual pitch how we'd fix My Buddy for today.

JNCOs: Size Matters
This week we're reviewing ultra wide legs jeans that were all the rage in the 90's: JNCOs. Beloved by skaters, surfers and ravers, JNCOs were very wide, very cool and very much counter culture. And at the company's peak in 1998, they boasted a whopping $186.9 million in sales! But by 2001 their parent company was forced to close their massive LA factory due to declining sales. So we're diving into JNCO's history and then as usual we each pitch how we'd fix the brand for today.

Lauryn Hill: Too Much, Too Late
Lauryn Hill burst onto the music scene in 1996 as a member of the Fugees. But it was Lauryn's 1998 solo debut The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill that put her on the map. With over 12 million albums sold worldwide it went on to sweep the 1998 Grammys as Lauryn became the first woman to win 5 or more awards in one night including Grammys for best new artist, best r&b album and album of the year. But after her follow up unplugged album failed to make a splash she all but disappeared. This week we dive into her fascinating story and then pitch how we'd fix her career for today.
