Dan & Manny welcome Author Ross Benes to discuss his book 1999 The Year Low Culture Conquered America and Kickstarted Our Bizarre Times. “I chose [19]99 out of all the years because it was just the wildest and most wackadoodle year of [the 90s]. You can write a similar book on 98 [...] but I think 99 is just a little more insane in the membrane.” -Ross Benes This episode of Nostalgia 101 author Ross Benes takes Manny & Dan to school on all things 1999.

On this episode, Alex and Martin Benes dive into the thorny politics of national allegiance in sports, using Eileen Gu's choice to ski for China as a jumping-off point. They debate whether athletes owe their success to the country that nurtured their talent, the country they choose to represent, or both, comparing Gu's decision to stars like Chloe Kim and Russian athletes competing for the U.S. Beyond individual cases, they explore how national pride, global branding, and personal identity collide in a world where sports are as political as they are competitive. This episode challenges listeners to rethink what it really means to “represent” a nation in the modern era.

In this episode, Alex and Martin Benes unpack Marco Rubio's recent trip to Munich, where his speech at the Munich Security Conference was widely seen as a diplomatic repainting of MAGA ideology—softening its tone while still warning against mass migration and framing Western unity in nationalist terms that drew criticism from European commentators. They then dive into a deeper debate on how the Syrian refugee crisis and subsequent immigration waves across Europe helped fuel far-right populism, exploring whether those dynamics reverberated back to the United States and helped shape the rise of MAGA‑aligned politics at home.

Alex and his guest Martin Benes unpack the downright bizarre “PenisGate” scandal at the 2026 Milano‑Cortina Winter Olympics, where headlines have swirled around allegations that some ski jumpers might be injecting hyaluronic acid into their genitals to manipulate suit‑sizing for aerodynamic advantage. They also dive into why cheating the system is getting harder across sports, spotlight past Nordic skiing controversies and rule changes, and talk at length about how athletes are trying to legitimately boost performance in disciplines like cross‑country and ski jumping without bending the rules.

On this episode, Alex sits down with Martin Benes to discuss the shocking incident in Lisbon's Champions League, where Vinícius Jr. confronted a racial slur on the pitch after a Benfica player allegedly called him a monkey, causing the match to be temporarily halted under UEFA's anti-racism protocol. They unpack why this isn't just a football issue, but a broader societal failure that must be condemned to fight racism in all arenas. From the stadium to politics, Alex and Martin explore why drawing a line matters—and why silence is complicity.

"The more I've learned about your world outside my walls, the more I've realized how dangerous and unpredictable it is."Long before AI was being shoehorned into every aspect of our existence, the Disney Channel was warning a generation about the dangers of technological dependency with the iconic SMART HOUSE. Arguably the "best" DCOM ever made, it's time to have an existential crisis about how many people have completely ignored the dangers of letting a supercomputer control every aspect of your life!

Nem Orbán Viktor és Magyar Péter között kell választani, azt kell eldönteni, hogy akarunk-e Oroszországban, vagy Kínában élni. Mit akar Trump? Mennyi esélye van a demokrácia intézményének az elnyomókkal szemben? Jeszenszky Géza volt külügyminiszterrel, korábbi washingtoni, norvégiai és izlandi nagykövettel Kacskovics Mihály Béla beszélgetett.

Szlovákiában a Benes-dekrétumok alapján még mindig koboznak el magyaroktól - és szlovákoktól is - földeket, vagyontárgyakat. Ódor Lajos volt szlovák miniszterelnök, jelenlegi EP-képviselő beszélt minderről az EUfóriában.

Alex and Martin Benes peer into 2026 with equal parts dread and sarcasm: AI running amok (economically), Venezuela doing… something, the midterms probably imploding, and Russia casting its long, brooding shadow over Europe. Predictions are tentative, panic is optional, and laughs are mandatory.

Alex sits down with his friend Martin to tear through the highs and lows of 2025 culture and movies, roast Netflix for feeling like a nonstop ad for itself, and unite over their mutual hatred of snowshoeing. It all spirals into a near–tattoo moment that somehow didn't end in regret.

As the year spirals out, Alex and Martin Benes talk about how Trumpworld splinters, and the conspiracies fade—but the ballroom gets built. They talk fractures, fixation, and the quiet realization that nothing makes sense, except Trumpian priorities.

Ross Benes is the author of the book 1999: The Year Low Culture Conquered America and Kickstarted Our Bizarre Times. Together we revisit what popular culture was like at the turn of the millennium and how things like Juggalos, professional wrestling, boy band rivalries, nü-metal, Jerry Springer, teen movies, the tech bubble, and the fear of the end of the world predicted the uncanny hyperreality we find ourselves in today.

VIDEO - https://youtu.be/oKPSkG-Z2Dw Fidel Castro transformó su imagen en los años 70 para seducir al exilio cubano y abrir un canal con EE.UU. El Diálogo del 78 fue mucho más que una reunión: fue estrategia pura. En plena Guerra Fría, mientras el mundo miraba hacia otra parte, el régimen castrista comenzó una operación política cuidadosamente calculada. Con el apoyo indirecto de Jimmy Carter y la mediación del banquero exiliado Bernardo Benes, Cuba lanzó una campaña para legitimar su imagen internacional sin ceder poder real. Este episodio, conocido como el Diálogo del 78, marcó un punto de inflexión: por primera vez, el régimen comunista abría la puerta —controladamente— al exilio que había llamado “gusano” por décadas. Desde los primeros encuentros secretos en Panamá, hasta los viajes encubiertos de Benes a La Habana y su histórico cara a cara con Fidel Castro, esta historia es un thriller político con consecuencias reales: liberación de presos políticos, reencuentros familiares, pero también amenazas, traiciones y una fractura irreparable en el exilio cubano. Este video es la primera parte de una serie documental que desvela los verdaderos hilos del poder detrás del “gesto humanitario” del castrismo. ¿Fue Benes un héroe, un peón o un traidor? Tú decides.VIDEOS RELACIONADOS:Parte I: https://youtu.be/oKPSkG-Z2DwParte II: https://youtu.be/gE6djnsIPA4

Los tres años de conflicto en Haití a causa de la violencia de las pandillas que controlan gran parte de la capital, Puerto Príncipe, ha provocado una crisis humanitaria por el desplazamiento interno de sus habitantes, entre ellos, 680.000 niños, denuncia la UNICEF. El desplazamiento de niños se ha duplicado en un año, según la organización. Entrevista con Roberto Benes, director de la agencia para América Latina y el Caribe de la UNICEF. En un vídeo de UNICEF sobre un campamento de desplazados en Puerto Príncipe, se ve a un grupo de siete niños jugando a lanzar una botella, un juguete improvisado que les permite tal vez olvidar por un momento su realidad. "Casi 680 mil niños y niñas se han visto obligados a dejar sus casas. La muy alta inseguridad y los niveles de violencia se reflejan también en los rostros, en la voz de las niñas, los niños y los adolescentes que he visitado en los sitios de desplazados que he visitado en estos días. Son historias terribles, son historias de vidas sin esperanza honestamente, de muchos de ellos", dice a RFI Roberto Benes, director de la agencia para América Latina y el Caribe de la UNICEF. Los tres años de guerra en Haití contra bandas armadas han provocado una crisis humanitaria por el desplazamiento interno de sus habitantes. "Hay desplazamientos de población hacia zonas muy peligrosas en la capital, de altísima inseguridad, especialmente en áreas como el denominado 'Bronx', hacia otras zonas de Puerto Príncipe que siguen siendo relativamente más seguras. También se registra otro movimiento hacia el sur del país, donde las condiciones siguen siendo comparativamente más seguras. Además, hay desplazamientos en el interior del país, no solo desde la capital, sino también desde otros departamentos afectados por la violencia, como Artibonite, donde la población se dirige hacia el sur en busca de mayor seguridad', subraya Benes. Crisis de la protección de los derechos de los niños La agencia para la infancia de la ONU deploró en un informe el incremento de la violencia hacia los niños y adolescentes, incluso de quienes logran permanecer en sus casas. "No olvidemos que la crisis de Haití es una crisis principalmente de la protección de los derechos de los niños que están bajo situaciones de violencia, de abuso, de explotación. Tenemos más de 3 millones de niños, niñas y adolescentes en una situación de necesidad de asistencia humanitaria. En Haití tenemos 276.000 niños menores de cinco años que se están enfrentando a muy altas tasas de malnutrición aguda y  tenemos casi 1600 escuelas cerradas que son ya sea atacadas u ocupadas por los grupos armados que impiden de manera práctica el acceso a la educación". UNICEF aseguró que no tiene los fondos suficientes para atender completamente esta emergencia en el país más pobre de América Latina. Tiene un déficit de más de 250 millones de dólares.

A huge part of video game history is context. Context surrounding a game's development, context surrounding a game's release, context of the time and place the game was made during. Context informs how we interpret the past. This week on the show I am joined by author and journalist Ross Benes to talk about his book "1999: The Year Low Culutre Conquered America and Kickstarted Our Bizarre Times." We discuss what about the late 90's has informed so much of our present, how that culture affected the games that came out and how the games themselves were part of that percieved "low culture" at the time.

Was 1999 the inflection point in American culture and politics? Writer Ross Benes joins me this week to talk about his book 1999: The Year Low Culture Conquered America and Kickstarted Our Bizarre Times. Ross's work connects the trashy Americana of Jerry Springer, pro wrestling, Insane Clown Posse, and a million other bits of carnival weirdness to the larger political economy of the late 90s, and in this conversation he offers his takes on why so-called “low culture” really matters.

On this episode of the Libertarian Christian Podcast, host Cody Cook sits down with author and journalist Ross Benes to discuss his latest book, 1999: The Year Low Culture Conquered America and Kickstarted Our Bizarre Times. The conversation dives deep into how the most sensational and “trashy” pop culture of the late 90s—think Jerry Springer, pro wrestling, Insane Clown Posse, Pokémon, and Beanie Babies—not only shaped our current media landscape, but also influenced today's political and cultural divides.Ross explores the ascent of “low culture,” tracing how it blurred the boundaries between entertainment and politics—culminating in a world where reality TV tactics rule the public sphere. They talk about the rise of populism, the persistence of elitism, and why figures like Trump are both symptoms and products of this cultural shift. Cody and Ross also debate whether democracy is better off now that the “facade of respectability” is gone, or if we've lost something essential along the way.Ross Benes' work can be found at rossbenes.com, and his book 1999 is available in paperback, Kindle, and Audible formats.Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com ★ Support this podcast ★
