The payments world is heading into uncharted territory. In this episode, we explore what's next for banking and treasury, from the rise of digital-asset-focused bank charters to AI agents executing payments on behalf of humans. We dig into identity, programmability, smart contract risk, and why immutability still makes treasurers nervous. The conversation also tackles regulatory clarity, quantum computing as a “Y2K redux,” and the growing gap between institutions that can afford innovation and those that can't. A candid look at why 2026 and beyond may force hard choices, consolidation, and a redefinition of how financial institutions survive and compete.

2000's Coyote Ugly. Welcome to the bar where the drinks are loud, the jeans are low-rise, and the feminism is… complicated. This week we climb on top of Coyote Ugly to ask: does this early-2000s fantasy about bartending dreams still slay, or does it leave us howling at its outdated ideas about empowerment and “not like other girls” energy? Will the music and the pure Y2K confidence make us raise a glass—or is it time for last call? Either way, somebody please wipe down the bar. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What happens when a shattered urinal becomes the secret you take to your grave?Sam and Jeff dive into the week's biggest celebrity drama, starting with Kyle and Amanda's Summer House divorce. Sam pulls no punches about Kyle's infidelity and treatment of Amanda (who's finally breaking free). The conversation then shifts to Brooklyn Beckham's family tensions with Victoria and David, including claims about a ruined wedding that led to secret vow renewals without family present.From celebrity gossip, the hosts transition to Buffalo Bills frustrations and Sam's whirlwind weekend. After watching her sister's dogs and catching a Bandits game, she headed to Denver for a Bills matchup despite that brutal 5:15 AM flight. The Y2K-themed game delivered great halftime entertainment, though the real story came later at a brewery where a bathroom incident involving a destroyed urinal created absolute chaos.Beyond the urinal incident (which shall remain unspoken), Sam explored Denver with friend Corinne, visiting everything from the Molly Brown Museum to Columbine High School on a true crime tour. They even stopped at the International Church of Cannabis for meditation and laser shows. Back home, Sam celebrated her 41st birthday before catching a Will Arnett film about navigating divorce through stand-up.Ready to hear about Lego disasters and Stranger Things confessions?

This week on The Brohio Podcast, we're diving headfirst into the wild world of mass hysteria—when fear, paranoia, and collective delusion spread faster than facts. From the Dancing Plague that made people dance themselves to death, to the Salem Witch Trials, the Tanganyika Laughing Epidemic, Y2K panic, mystery seeds from China, and the infamous War of the Worlds radio broadcast that sent America into a full-blown meltdown. No ghosts. No monsters. Just humans losing their absolute minds—together. We break down the dumbest details, the most egregious reactions, and the moments where society collectively short-circuited. Buckle up… because once hysteria takes hold, logic is the first casualty.Sponsored by BetterHelpIf stress, anxiety, or intrusive thoughts are creeping in, BetterHelp makes professional therapy accessible and easy.

He joined Tony Mazur on the Check Your Brain podcast to talk about a shared enjoyment of theirs, which is nu metal, the genre of hard rock with some metal and rap styles that was popular around the Y2K days. Cody also talked about how musicians like himself have embraced AI, rather than run away from it.

The teaming of Kathryn Bigelow and James Cameron is always a potent proposition, as the former married couple are both heavyweight directors in their own right. This should have made their 1995 collaboration Strange Days--a dystopian cyberthriller set on the eve of Y2K starring Ralph Fiennes, Angela Bassett and Juliette Lewis--a surefire smash. Unfortunately, the movie's hot button political themes and pitch black tone didn't translate to boffo box office, and to this day it remains frustratingly unavailable stateside in a high definition format. Join Sebastian and Jennifer as they jack in, fire up some playback and ring in the new year with this underappreciated and chillingly topical sci fi classic.

Being a Millionaire Ain’t What It Used to Be Episode 367 – It wasn't that long ago that Regis Philbin drew massive viewers with his TV program Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Never mind the fact that the top prize was $1 million before taxes, which is considerably less than $1 million after taxes. But in today's economy, being a millionaire does not necessarily project the same status it once did. Or does it? More SML Planning Minute Podcast Episodes Transcript of Podcast Episode 367 Hello, this is Bill Rainaldi, with another edition of Security Mutual's SML Planning Minute. In today's episode, being a millionaire ain’t what it used to be. It wasn't that long ago that Regis Philbin drew massive viewers with his TV program Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. Never mind the fact that the top prize was $1 million before taxes, which is considerably less than $1 million after taxes. And while it's much more noticeable today, even during Y2K, being a millionaire did not give the same status that it once did. Yet it's an achievement many of us are shooting for. According to a new study, almost half of all workers (48 percent) have set $1 million as their retirement benchmark. That number was only 37 percent in 2024. But people aren't necessarily optimistic about reaching that milestone. In fact, a mere 27 percent actually expect to get there.[1] Another recent study provides more information on this. An analysis of government survey data done by Bloomberg indicates that there are more than 24 million millionaire households, or almost one in five. But a lot of that wealth is sealed into 401(k)s, IRAs and home equity, none of which is easily accessible. This is especially true for households in the lower end of the millionaire spectrum, with a net worth between $1 million and $2 million, which on average, have 66 percent of their wealth locked into these types of assets.[2] It’s important not to minimize what so many people have accomplished. $1 million is a great emotional milestone. And it's still a lot of money. The median household net worth is considerably less: about $193,000.[3] But nowadays, you might not be able to live off $1 million. It could end up lasting you a long time, but it all depends on where you live (which you can control), your health and longevity (which you might not be able to control), and how much you spend on things like housing, health care and other expenses. Every situation is different, of course. The cost of living varies widely throughout the United States. According to research by Forbes magazine, the average cost of living, defined as “housing costs, transportation, health care, food and income taxes,” is the highest in Hawaii at $55,491. Mississippi comes in the lowest with an average of $32,336. Of course, this is just for the essentials. The figures don't include entertainment, travel or anything else.[4] When it comes to longevity, average life expectancy has some quirks to it. For one thing, each year you age, your remaining life expectancy goes down, but not by a full year. This is a statistical oddity due to the fact that you're still here, but a few of your peers are not. For example, if you are a male age 60, your remaining life expectancy is 23.3 years, or to age 83.3. But if you make it to age 65, your new life expectancy is 19.3 years, or to age 84.3.[5] There are gender differences as well. For people age 65, females, on average, outlive males by approximately 2.7 years.[6] These are all just averages, of course. But the resulting life expectancies are often longer than people might anticipate. Here's another unique statistic: For a married couple age 60, there is approximately a 60 percent chance that at least one of the two will live past age 90.[7] That may or may not be you, but the longer you expect to live, the more concerned you will be about whether your $1 million is enough. How long will it last, and will you still be around when it runs out? Here are three hypotheticals compiled by SmartAsset. In the first one, assume you start with $1 million and get a 6 percent return. Also assume you are in a 24 percent tax bracket and you spend $5,000 per month. In that scenario, your $1 million should last you 30 years. But in the second scenario, assuming your return goes down to 5 percent, the well would run dry in 26 years. In the third scenario, your return goes up to 7 percent. But your tax bracket is also higher: 32 percent, and your withdrawal goes up to $6,000 per month. With those assumptions, your savings would only last 23 years.[8] Keep in mind that these examples do not include other sources of income such as Social Security. The maximum amount of Social Security you can collect is $5,181[9] per month before tax and Medicare charges, but that assumes you paid in the maximum and collect at age 70, which less than 10 percent of people do.[10] The average benefit is approximately $1,959 per month.[11] But when it comes to retirement income, the one huge advantage Social Security has is that it is indexed for inflation, although the Cost of Living Adjustment (or COLA) increases don't always keep up. So, how much you can accumulate for retirement is important, but it's not everything. Perhaps some of us are focusing on the wrong thing. Maybe it's just as important to have an income plan as it is to have an accumulation plan.[12] In other words, no matter how much you save, it's still only the first half of the journey.

Do you remember the scare of Y2K? Staring at the clock at mid-night waiting for some monumental change to happen? Well, obviously, nothing happened.

Join Tommy Shaughnessy as he speaks with Nic Carter, partner at Castle Island Ventures, about his deep dive into the existential threat quantum computing poses to Bitcoin. After six months of intensive research and discussions with Nobel Prize-winning physicists, Nic breaks down why the "quantum threat" has moved from theoretical FUD to a material risk that the Bitcoin community is currently unprepared to face.They explore the "Q-Day" timeline, the vulnerability of Satoshi's 2 million BTC, and the urgent need for a migration to post-quantum cryptography. Can Bitcoin's rigid governance survive the most significant technical challenge in its history, or will sovereign nations and private firms reach the coins first?

This week we are once again joined by Alec of Poison Tulips to finish up our dive into the Y2K panic.

It is thottie Friday!!!

Two high school friends crash a Y2K party in the hopes of getting laid, but as midnight arrives, the night takes another direction in the form of a computer assimilation plot.Y2K is a late 90s nostalgia trip, bringing us back to when we remember hearing about a technological apocalypse in the new millennium. This film explores the idea of computers taking humans over, leaving it up to high school kids at a party to save each other. This movie features coming-of-age elements as well as silly jokes with nostalgia often being forced in just in case anyone forgot when the movie was taking place. While we had mixed feelings about this one, it's definitely a movie that captured our generation and a conspiracy we lived through. Watch the movie and catch our review.YouTube | The Final PodcastFacebook | The Final PodcastInstagram | thefinalpodcastMusic Credit: Karl Casey @ White Bat Audiohttps://www.youtube.com/whitebataudioWhat should we review next? Toss us a vibe and send over a recommendation!

Panic, paranoia, and spectacularly stupid predictions! This episode of History's Greatest Idiots (featuring Mandy Gardner from the History Obscura Podcast) explores Y2K, the millennium bug that convinced the entire world that civilization would collapse at midnight on January 1st, 2000, leading to the most expensive non-event in human history.The Technical Problem: Back in the 1960s and 70s, when computer memory cost a fortune, programmers saved space by writing dates with two digits instead of four (65 instead of 1965). Nobody thought about what would happen when 1999 became 2000. Would computers think it was 1900? Would banks collapse? Would planes fall from the sky? Would nuclear missiles accidentally launch? These were genuine questions people were asking in 1998.The Media Frenzy: By 1999, reasonable concerns about bank systems had spiralled into headlines like "Will your pacemaker stop working at midnight?" and "Could nuclear power plants explode?" Governments didn't help. Bill Clinton established a Y2K council. Britain spent £396 million (equivalent purchasing power of £9 billion today). Countries stockpiled fuel, food, and medical supplies as if they were preparing for war. Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan compared it to the Cuban Missile Crisis. Ed Yardeni predicted a 70% chance of a worldwide recession. Experts warned that elevators would trap people, traffic lights would fail, water treatment plants would shut down, prison doors would automatically unlock, and planes would literally fall from the sky.The Survival Industry: Y2K preppers made pandemic preppers look casual. People bought generators (manufacturers couldn't keep up), mountains of tinned food, warehouses of bottled water, gold, and guns (sales spiked 700% in some US areas). Companies sold Y2K survival kits for $2,500 containing a year's freeze-dried food. An entire industry monetised fear. Products got "Y2K Compliant" stickers, including toasters that didn't know what year it was anyway.The Price Tag: Worldwide spending reached $300-600 billion. That's more than the Apollo moon landings and Manhattan Project combined. The US alone spent $100 billion. Some COBOL programmers charged $1,000 per hour ($1800 in 2025 money) just checking old code. With that money, we could have ended world hunger for years, eradicated malaria, or provided universal water and sanitation globally.New Year's Eve 1999: Airlines grounded flights. Russia put nuclear forces on high alert with Yeltsin in a command center (drinking vodka). Emergency teams stood ready worldwide. Some families withdrew all their money and moved to remote cabins with six months of supplies. As midnight hit New Zealand, then Asia, then Europe, reporters sounded increasingly disappointed that nothing was going wrong.The Anticlimax: The complete list of significant Y2K problems: slot machines in Delaware stopped working, some bus ticket machines failed in Sheffield and Australia, a few credit card terminals had issues for hours, and the US Naval Observatory website displayed January 1, 19100. That's it. No planes crashed. No nuclear war. No apocalypse. Just slot machines in Delaware that nobody noticed because it's Delaware.The Aftermath: People with 500 tins of beans couldn't exactly return them ("the apocalypse was cancelled"). Politicians claimed credit for preventing disaster by spending billions. We'll never know if the preparations prevented catastrophe or if the problem was massively overblown, making it the geopolitical equivalent of Lisa Simpson's tiger-repelling rock.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/HistorysGreatestIdiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Artist: Sarah Chey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.fiverr.com/sarahchey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Episode: 1500 1500th episode and 2000 AD: A poor time to summarize.  Today, we reach a landmark.

Y2K is like Stranger Things for the Millennial generation who grew up on Windows 95! Well, at least that's how it's pitched. Directed by Kyle Mooney, the movie follows a loser from high school who suddenly finds himself in the apocalypse caused by the Y2K bug! But it's crazy. The computers are walking around and trying to take over the world. Only Rachel Zigler can hack into the computers and save the day!

This week, we're talking about the Y2K classic (?) Strange Days! We talk about wigs (and plots) that bum Kat out, question whether James Cameron was the right person to tell this story, and praise Angela Bassett.   Produced by Andrew Ivimey as part of The From Superheroes Network   Visit www.FromSuperheroes.com for more podcasts, articles, video series, web comics, and more.

In this New Year's Eve episode of The Rewatch Podcast, Cory and Eoghan find it's us against the machines as they discuss Y2K. Blog Post

It's the end of days and the start of days. From now on, this is not a 90s podcast, and it is not the 90s. Join Teen-Dave at the Big Y2K Bash, and adult Dave and Chris at the old men sitting around reading children's comics ward.

Weekly Spooky rings in the new year with a New Year's Eve horror story that spirals into a Y2K nightmare—and it all starts with a stupidly simple discovery: crank two radios loud enough, hit the right tone, and you can rip open a hole in time.Sixteen-year-old Jimmy and his cousin Phillip start pulling lost junk from the void… until grief turns curiosity into obsession. One phone call becomes a lifeline. One step through the portal becomes a disaster. And one panicked, brain-melting decision in the past causes a chain reaction that detonates reality right at midnight.Now it's New Year's Eve, the world is collapsing into alternate timelines, and a surreal broadcast announces the unthinkable: a monstrous new order has arrived… and Jimmy's become the accidental saint of the apocalypse. Expect time travel gone wrong, cosmic horror comedy, end-of-the-world chaos, and a ticking-clock sprint through broken history where every “fix” makes things weirder.Hit play, kill the lights, and welcome to a New Year's episode where the ball doesn't drop—reality does. Dare you to make it past 11:59.Saint Jimmy — by Dan Wilder

December 31, 1999, wasn't just the end of a year. It was also the end of a century and a millennium. Leading up to that day, the Y2K craze had people unsure if their lives would be the same once the clock ticked over to the year 2000. But, newspapers still had other stories to share, and I've got three great additional history stories for you, too.SOURCES“Advertisement: Younkers (Page 5).” Bay City Times (Bay City, Michigan), December 31, 1999.

Just in time for a nostalgic rewind, Jackie and Danielle head back to the mid-2000s to revisit Just Friends (2005), the Christmas-adjacent rom-com that defined an era of friend-zone discourse, chaotic comedy, and questionable life lessons.In this episode of No More Late Fees, the hosts dig into the film's legacy with their signature mix of humor and honest critique, breaking down what Just Friends got right, what absolutely did not age well, and why it still sparks strong opinions nearly two decades later. From Ryan Reynolds' early rom-com persona to Anna Faris fully committing to unhinged pop-star chaos, Jackie and Danielle explore the performances, character dynamics, and tropes that made this movie unforgettable—for better or worse.Along the way, they share behind-the-scenes trivia, production context, and pop-culture connections that place the film firmly in its early-2000s moment. Expect sharp character analysis, commentary on the infamous friend-zone narrative, discussions about humor through a modern lens, and plenty of fandom hot takes that balance nostalgia with critical reflection. As always, the episode wraps with Blockbuster-style ratings to see how their Y2K selves compare to their current takes.If you love nostalgic movie rewatches, rom-com deep dives, and pop-culture podcasts that blend laughs with thoughtful analysis, this episode is for you.

This time, they revisit 1999 and 2000 — a defining turning point when Nu-Metal and Post-Grunge ruled MTV, Napster upended the industry, and legendary icons stormed back into the spotlight.

It all started with a simple trip to TJ Maxx. Because every great night begins in the clearance aisle. From there, things only went uphill. Hibachi takeout, a Sister Wives marathon, and a little too much saké that led Zach to start one sided beef with TLC network and then continue to DM one of the stars of the show. This week, we unpack our obsession with reality TV drama, a strong opinion on fake “podcasts” that are really just ads disguised as "entertaining clips" or whatever. Then Zachariah tells his own harrowing tale when his stomach betrayed him in a coffee shop. We're talking newly found cough drops, a lawsuit involving a duck on a SeaWorld roller coaster, and our love for the Y2K pop duo ASHNIA.
