In this chapter, the hosts discuss their memories of the Y2K bug and the fears surrounding the transition from 1999 to 2000. They talk about how their news team prepared for the potential technological issues and the lack of any actual problems when the new millennium arrived. They also mention an HBO documentary titled 'Time Bomb Y2K' that explores the economic decision to use two digits instead of four and the potential consequences of this choice.
