Howdy pardners. Remember Shuffle returns to the beautiful mind of Elizabeth Gilbert to discuss Coyote Ugly - the original article that inspired the film, the rather forgettable 2000 Rom Com adaptation, and the actual business that still exists in New York City. The shuffle boys also interview a subject matter expert (@LukeRallo on IG) in tabletop dancing. En route through the history of these kinds of bars, they also discuss 2000s era lipstick feminism, gentrification, and the carnivalesque.

Remember Shuffle goes yap for yap with a real yapper with returning guest @Gluten_Daddy (Isaac Eger) of the Coexist Inc podcast to discuss the 9/11 Truth Movement in various forms. They start with three pieces of media from the 2000s that attempted to process the trauma of 9/11 through truther conspiracy theories. Using Michael Moore’s Farhenheit 9/11, Dylan Avery’s Loose Change, and Peter Joseph’s Zeitgeist a jumping-off point, they then turn to some unique aspects of these conspiracies and the people who ascribe to them, the internet’s role in conspiratorial thinking, and the state of conspiratorial thinking today.

Remember Shuffle finally turns to the presidential election that started it all (and by “it,” we mean the end of the world), the 2000 election between George W. Bush and Al Gore. With the help of returning guest @Gluten_Daddy, the Shuffle Bois first attempt to reframe this election in order to look at it without the hindsight that comes with knowing about its dramatic finish. What does an election look like in the age of the Neoliberal consensus? How did third parties affect the race? What was Donald Trump up to at the time?  They then turn to the controversial finish to this election: the recounts, the hanging chads, and the judicial coups. They ask questions like: what good is the democratic party? Could the Jan 6ers have been on to something? How is the turn of the millennium personified in this election? This episode also features a small gloating section for making it to 50 episodes. All jokes aside, thank you to all our listeners who’ve been with us and helped us get here.
