As the clock counted down to 2000, panic set in. In this episode of The Busy Signal, Jym revisits the Y2K scare—computer fears, pop culture chaos, and the question everyone asked: were we really ready?

Happy New Year, New You!

Jym revisits the wild world of retro fitness fads, gadgets, and workout crazes from the ’80s, ’90s, and early 2000s.

If you can sit, you can get fit!

It’s time to "light the lamp, not the rat!"

This week on The Busy Signal, my buddy George and I revisit The Muppet Christmas Carol—the early ’90s holiday classic that somehow managed to be heartfelt, hilarious, and surprisingly faithful to Dickens. We talk Muppet humor, Michael Caine’s all-in performance, and why this movie still hits us right in the Christmas feels.

We’re unwrapping the weird, wonderful, and “why did they make this?” holiday specials of the ’80s, ’90s, and 2000s. From cozy comforting cartoons to animated chaos, it’s all the festive TV you forgot you remembered. Grab your cocoa for a sleigh ride back though some fun holiday hijinks, before the VCR eats the tape! 🎄📺

Jym unwraps the biggest holiday toy crazes from the '80s, '90s and 2000's--Furbies, Elmos, game consoles, dolls and all the madness that made them impossible to find. A fast, fun and sometimes violent trip back to the mall rush of Black Fridays past,
