It's a dawn of a new age this week as we mark our 100th episode. 

We send off the Volkswagen Beetle and MySpace heralds the rise of social media. Who was in your top 8? Also, top points to whoever in the marketing department was able to turn the story of a vehicle commissioned by the Furher into into a symbol for peace, love and freedom!

Lance Armstrong quite literally cuts corners in Le Tour De France this time 20 years ago, taking the golden jersey while Joseba Beloki lies bloody and broken on the side of the road. 

Ontario Canada becomes the site of SARSstock, a concert that celebrates the end of SARS and offers a much needed reboot to tourism in the area. The Rolling Stones, Rush, AC/DC and Timberlake headline the event in front of almost half a million people. A massive step backwards for fans of social distancing. 

SPy Kids 3d melts our retinas at the box office, Race to the Altar melts our hearts on the TV and Australian Idol melts down the Aussie TV ratings. We discuss that comment from Ian 'Dicko' Dickson about Paulini and look at the affect it's had on him and others.

All that and so much more! Happy 100 T Minus 20!
