Episode 214 – In the Year 3000: Ryan and Joe Predict the Future

This Filipino American Life

“In the Year 2000…”

If you know that line, you remember it was a bit that Conan O’ Brien did during his late night talk show where he and his co-host Andy Richter comically predicted what the world would be like in the year 2000. (Yes, we’re that old). In this TFAL episode, Ryan and Joe attempt to rehash this bit, but for the Year 3000 and for Filipinos. Yes, Ryan and Joe alone (without Elaine and Producer Mike who were on vacation) steer this episode in what they call the Bernardo Carpio Legendary Hour. Listen as they try to make both serious and silly predictions about Filipinos and Filipino Americans. What sports will be popular in the future? Which food franchise will make a comeback in the U.S.? What will happen to California’s Filipino enclaves? And what will be the future of Circus Circus?? UY, PHILIPPINES!
