On January 1, 2000, none of our electronic malfunctioned. And the St. Louis Rams won the Super Bowl that month, which ruled. Good start, aughts. On December 31, 2009, um, I had to work the next morning at 6 a.m. I remember feeling obliged to stay up until midnight but, like, I stayed home and watched one of those VH1 listicle shows. I think it was that Greatest Hard Rock songs. I think "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath was #1? Surely Scott Ian was interviewed.

But in between, a bunch of songs came out. And I graduated grade school, middle school, and high school. Similar story for some other guys I know. Oh, yeah, John's the one writing this. Sorry my dog barked so much during the episode--he's a very sweet boy but also dogs hate fireworks. Anyway, Jason and I brought on our friend Tyler (who has the same name as my dog, who is also my friend but has never been a formal guest on the podcast) and we drafted our favorite number one songs of the 2000s. Hope you like it and stuff.

Happy Wednesday, and happy NBA Draft Day (oh my God, there it is, he said the title)! Tonight, NBA teams will try to shape their futures, and in honor of that, John and special guest P. Funk look back at the 2008 draft, one in which John's favorite team had the #1 overall pick and in which Funk's favorite team won the night. Also, the two reminisce about how the Phoenix Suns trying to dump Kurt Thomas's contract paved the way for everything good that has happened to the Oklahoma City Thunder for a decade and a half, including reminiscing about how crazy it was that Paul George got traded for so many first-round draft picks and pick swaps all until like five minutes left when the Mikal Bridges trade broke and everything we thought we knew changed in an instance.

In most of our episodes, we take a year and draft the best players available from that year. But this time, we are organizing players by draft pick. John and Jason alternate to determine the best ever #1 through #30 picks in the Major League Baseball amateur draft.
