​The Knicks are back in the NBA Finals, which means Opie and Ron the Waiter are stepping into a 1999 time capsule. We’re looking back at the absolute madness of the world the last time NYC played for a ring—from $1.14 gas, Austin Powers, and Ricky Martin, to the expensive failure of the McDonald's Arch Deluxe. Plus, a deep dive into the era of beepers, finding the "workarounds" for scrambled adult cable channels, and a serious question: Why is John Travolta trying to pull off a beret? We also talk some Joe Rogan history and why the old days of radio hit different.
