Hi Matteo! This is Jeff from the show hahah! I need to give you more context 😹 this was full scripted and I remember auditioning at MTV studios to even get on. I’m in SLC now and can’t wait to see you at your show. I messaged you on insta. Thanks for never letting me live this down!!! 😹 I am not as crazy as my hair is 😢
i’m in my mid 20s but i second this, especially regarding next. that show is how i found out people could do gay dating 🥺 meant a lot to super young baby gay me
Lines were fed I did an episode of parental control and the dad wanted me to hammer a nail. Did it fine and a producers voice comes on and says “do it again like you don’t know how to do it then say I’d do better at hammering your daughter”! Genius writing 😂
Listen but it’s soooo comfy. As a person who was a teen in the aughts, my Hollister flares and my Rainbow sandals were THE OUTFIT for me. I combined black rainbows with Hollister jeans and Hot Topic tees lol
Boot-cut, stone washed jeans, sandals, popped-collar polo with a shirt underneath...this definitely gave me flashbacks to gay bars in 2003. I can practically smell the Abercrombie cologne wafting through the screen.
Omg !!!! Omg !!! You just gave me the total recall!! I was watching this in ultra conservative Catholic Poland as a teenager! I know it sounds ridiculous, but it gave me hope that there are places better for me. I live in the UK for many years now, being LGBTQ+ officer for 3 years of my university education, where I was fighting for our community! Thank you for sharing! Love it!
OK, so the fact that you are calling Evan out on his bullshit is very sexy and he’s definitely not caring about any of like I think he probably thinks that he’s gonna get a whole bunch of money from MTV, but I’m pretty sure that never happened
It always felt like such a treat, and I'd get so excited! Lol there really wasn't a lot of "gay" stuff on regular cable back then. I was _enamored_ when we got the higher tiered package for the first time that included Logo, and even moreso when we got a deal that included HBO and Showtime... 😂 Watching all the cheesy gay romcoms and the first season of Drag Race on Logo changed my life, and then seeing Queer as Folk for the first time on Showtime was a whole other level LMFAO
This is the type of unhinged messiness I miss from reality tv. Seeing Evan being slighted was satisfying, you definitely need to roast more early 00s reality shows
I used to love Next! I especially loved the people who would immediately call next for the smallest thing and quickly work there way through everyone on the bus and then get surprised when the producers told them there are no more contestants 🤣
Evan literally looked like if Will Ferrel and Adam Sandler had a gay child, I remember watching this episode as a gay kid and thought these guys are completely not it 💀💀
same! I'm only 24 ijn comparrison so i only peripherally remember celeb rehab type shoes that were this crazy. But i 100% found half then men very pedestrian looking compared to today and to then
Wait what? He "promotes for clubs, worships Gwen Stefani, and wears girl jeans" but then suddenly on the bus he "works at a Christian camp and does drama stuff"? What club is he promoting at 18, the school Christian pray around the flagpole club?
So, there was a “Christian club” in my town where they played dance music, had pool tables, etc. but didn’t serve alcohol and like you couldn’t wear anything too “revealing” in there. Maybe that’s the type of club he promotes? 😂
Back in 2005, I actually had an afternoon hookup with a guy, and after we were done, he told me he was on the newest episode of Next airing in an hour. But for the "straight" next
Like a Giant Sequoia, huh? So it's brown, uncut, points straight up, has a lot of foliage, 2 inch pine cones, a thick layer of bark that's fire resistant, & is rich in chemicals that keep away insect pests & prevent rotting.
Please review Room Raiders! That show gave me so much anxiety the thought of a boy randomly rumaging through all the stuff in my room. The phrase "Boom! Panty drawer!" Is forever burned into my brain. Not sure if there were gay episodes but there probably was.
Damnit Mateo I'm healing from a broken rib and I think I just re-broke it laughing so hard at this. My parting phrase with my friends is now "Bye bye Chewbaccaaaaaa!!"
I remember being so shocked when guys on Room Raiders would automatically turn down a girl if he checked a girl’s underwear drawer and found undies that weren’t sexy. Hello! Women aren’t wearing thongs overnight while they are on their periods. Then finally there was one guy that said something along the lines of “I have sisters. I get it.” Now I know I shouldn’t have been shocked, but sometimes it’s the most obvious things.
Must be a horrible life, being so ignorant that simple interactions go over your head. At least I know my job will never be threatened. Can't lose a job to a younger generation if they don't have the degree. 100% more faith in teenage Gen Alpha than grown ass Zoomers
In the past, many of us had a different experience growing up in the gay community, especially those of us in our 50s. Our history involved caring for men who were dying, many of whom were not accepted into hospitals, and who had nowhere else to turn. We lost almost an entire generation of role models. If it weren't for the support from lesbians, who stepped in when the disease was labeled as a "gay disease," the impact could have been even more devastating. When I hear people today express frustration over seeing another openly gay person on television, it's difficult not to think back to those times when so many young people in their 20s were dying. It was a very frightening period, and we had to fight for every right that exists today. Much of what younger generations now take for granted was hard-won by those who came before them. While I'm glad today's generation doesn't have to experience that kind of trauma and can enjoy the freedom and acceptance we fought for, it’s important to recognize the history and the struggle that came before them.
I love how comfortable Potato is talking about his hair transplants. Too many famous people have work done and act like they didn't and then we all try to live up to their standards. Thanks Potato, for being real!
I knew you were my people Matteo. I watched next, room raiders, date my mom, my super sweet 16. They definitely don't make shows like this anymore these were the days.
Matteo you mentioned your hair transplants a couple times this episode and I wanna say - I LOVE your hair, so the work and effort you’ve put in was definitely worth it from an aesthetic point of view imo 👍
The BELLY laugh after the raw food statement lol Gave me so much joy. YES!!! Would love more of these Next was unhinged and Matteo has the perfect input on it.,
i LOVE you doing these roasts!!! I'm 10 years older than you but in law school I watched all of these -- Next, Room Raiders, and TRL -- with my fraternity brothers when the shows first started. PLEASE keep these coming. I watch all of your specials and I hope to see one of your shows, especially if you come to Tampa!
Omg!! Yes, please do more of these. I remember all of the shows NEXT, room raiders,Dismissed, Elimidate, etc.. it’s so much material for you to choose from lol.

@matteolane bring Jeff on stage!!!
Gwen Stefani 😂😂
I believe him, his pic is with Gwen lol
This needs to be pinned!
@@oc5297still all about Gwen
“Terrified of food poisoning” -> “all raw food” this was a genius bit of producing.
I ran to the comments to see if anyone pointed this out lmao 😂 thank you !
I’m dying!!! 💀💀
"god may forgive you for being gay, but no one will forgive you for that haircut" has been in my meme folder forever, i love it so much
Gurl I haven't really gotten to that part yet, and when I saw the first sentence of your comment I was ready to throw hands LMAO 🤣😅
"My name is Sandra, I love M & M's, I have blonde hair, and I don't take no for an answer at Taco Bell." dying lol
Being about the same age may justify me saying this but I could absolutely binge watch Mateo's watch-alongs of early 00's tv shows.
Right there with you.
100000%
Netflick needs to jump on that because same
Please. All of them. Room Raiders. Date my Mom…all of it
i’m in my mid 20s but i second this, especially regarding next. that show is how i found out people could do gay dating 🥺 meant a lot to super young baby gay me
Lines were fed I did an episode of parental control and the dad wanted me to hammer a nail. Did it fine and a producers voice comes on and says “do it again like you don’t know how to do it then say I’d do better at hammering your daughter”! Genius writing 😂
😂
Lmfao 😂😂that is amazing but oh wow we were 12 watching these shows hahaha anyone in college at that point was already on The Office
"Helen Keller would call him a f....!" The funniest thing I've ever heard
I died 😂💀
Holy f'ing shit. I can't!
It’s just beautiful
The scream I scrumpt when he said that 😂
🤣
The flip flops and jeans brought me back to a dark place 💀

Listen but it’s soooo comfy. As a person who was a teen in the aughts, my Hollister flares and my Rainbow sandals were THE OUTFIT for me. I combined black rainbows with Hollister jeans and Hot Topic tees lol
Matteo please do a few more episodes like this, it was hysterical!
More!
seconding!!
Yes yes yes
I'm gonna need him to watch every season ASAP
I would love for him to react to the episode of Next that had Theo Von as a contestant!
We need a reunion for these guys. I really want to know where they ended up in life.
What you mean 'ended'? They are only 40 something now! They have plenty of time to find new boyfriend and move to the Frisco, hello!
@@sufyanlowel4631 … it’s a turn of phrase….

"A Disney vilain from Albercombie"..This is why I love you!! That joke I quote made my day.
Please I am begging for more of these videos Matteo. I haven’t laughed so hard in a minute
Boot-cut, stone washed jeans, sandals, popped-collar polo with a shirt underneath...this definitely gave me flashbacks to gay bars in 2003. I can practically smell the Abercrombie cologne wafting through the screen.
And this is why I love the good old days of MTV. Uncut, unbiased, unabridged, no guidance. Just pure boldness gold
Oh, PLEASE more roasts of shows like this. They're hysterical
"why are they doing hair in a FIELD?" I'm on the floor
It’s Chris losing his mind in the background for me 🤣🤣
Saaamme. Matteo was just too stunned to speak 😅
His laugh is super contagious! 😂😂 Gotta love Chris!
How do we know it was Chris?
Because Chris is his camera guy and the only one with Matteo when he films, unless he does an episode with guests
@@JessicaStoddard-l7k Chris Distefano? That Chris or a different Chris?

They all bottoms lol
What are you talking about

Aw this comment is really wholesome! ❤
I died with Mateos line "with 2 hair transplants, you'd better believe I'm ready for your wind"😅😂
Laughing right along with Chris haha
“These guys are trailblazers” 😂 3:49
OK, so the fact that you are calling Evan out on his bullshit is very sexy and he’s definitely not caring about any of like I think he probably thinks that he’s gonna get a whole bunch of money from MTV, but I’m pretty sure that never happened
I watched this when I was 14 years old at my grandma’s house because she was the one that had cable so this show was on MTV
I used to watch NEXT, Room Raiders, Parental Control, MADE, and TrueLife so I can catch a gay episode back in the day.
It always felt like such a treat, and I'd get so excited! Lol there really wasn't a lot of "gay" stuff on regular cable back then. I was _enamored_ when we got the higher tiered package for the first time that included Logo, and even moreso when we got a deal that included HBO and Showtime... 😂 Watching all the cheesy gay romcoms and the first season of Drag Race on Logo changed my life, and then seeing Queer as Folk for the first time on Showtime was a whole other level LMFAO
You just unlocked a cluster of core memories. I need to go back and watch all of these.
My afternoons for years! And with classmates doing homework made it so much better to watch 😂😂😂😂
Room raiders was insane he has to do some of those!
Ooh don't forget "Date My Mom" also a completely underrated classic, especially because supportive moms
I beg you with all of my heart… PLEASE MAKE MORE OF THESE!!!
This is the type of unhinged messiness I miss from reality tv. Seeing Evan being slighted was satisfying, you definitely need to roast more early 00s reality shows
Yes!
Evan was insufferable!
I used to love Next! I especially loved the people who would immediately call next for the smallest thing and quickly work there way through everyone on the bus and then get surprised when the producers told them there are no more contestants 🤣
It was the pause on the video the SECOND he said "african dance". This show was so goooood. They always did weird activities outside. more of this.
And it was always at the local SoCal park to keep the budget cheap as possible
I know the costume change 💀
Yea that had me scared...the early 2000s were a different time
I would watch 20 more episodes of this in one sitting.
I’m 36 and this was one of the best shows MTV had. It was absolute debauchery. I’m still living for the show.🎉
Matteo's face on "all raw food" got me 😂 I never watched this show, but I absolutely would keep doing these ride along watches with him
Evan literally looked like if Will Ferrel and Adam Sandler had a gay child, I remember watching this episode as a gay kid and thought these guys are completely not it 💀💀
Yaaaas
same! I'm only 24 ijn comparrison so i only peripherally remember celeb rehab type shoes that were this crazy. But i 100% found half then men very pedestrian looking compared to today and to then
I thought they were all hot
Flava of Love, PLEASE!! Ms Tiffany Pollard is an Icon!
Yes and Rock of Love!
Please do EVERY GAY EPISODE OF NEXT! This is pure art, and a great Sunday sermon. Luv u Matteo!
I forgot how unhinged early 00’s reality tv was, please please please do more of these!
I think the bus took up 90% of the budget.
Hilarious video Matteo, thank you
You should make this a series. I could binge watch this 😂
Wait what? He "promotes for clubs, worships Gwen Stefani, and wears girl jeans" but then suddenly on the bus he "works at a Christian camp and does drama stuff"? What club is he promoting at 18, the school Christian pray around the flagpole club?
I’m pretty sure I read a fact somewhere saying they just made up random facts for people
I’ll let you know what happened haha
So, there was a “Christian club” in my town where they played dance music, had pool tables, etc. but didn’t serve alcohol and like you couldn’t wear anything too “revealing” in there. Maybe that’s the type of club he promotes? 😂
Please do more episodes like this! One of your best!
I am howling. I forgot how great this show was. Omg please please let this be a whole series of you watching and reacting to this show!!!
This was HILARIOUS!! Omg how I miss “Next”! MORE PLEASE!
Back in 2005, I actually had an afternoon hookup with a guy, and after we were done, he told me he was on the newest episode of Next airing in an hour. But for the "straight" next
The whole exchange at 5:38 is THE MOST unhinged and I’m living for it 🤣🤣
Like a Giant Sequoia, huh? So it's brown, uncut, points straight up, has a lot of foliage, 2 inch pine cones, a thick layer of bark that's fire resistant, & is rich in chemicals that keep away insect pests & prevent rotting.
Sounds like the whole package
What's not to like?
Damn. I'll double up and pass on to the next person 😂 sounds like a lot of work.
Oh,you're one of those people...
Zoomers will make a joke out of everything unless it includes sexuality, then it's a scary No No
Your MTV roasts are giving me life! Thank you 👏
The video I never knew I needed.
Hands down. Yes.
Yes!
Thank you for this video. I needed this today. My teenage years all over again. 🤣🤣
Please review Room Raiders! That show gave me so much anxiety the thought of a boy randomly rumaging through all the stuff in my room. The phrase "Boom! Panty drawer!" Is forever burned into my brain. Not sure if there were gay episodes but there probably was.
We were SO YOUNG watching this show. It had to have left some sort of impact on us. Completely ludacris 😂
Totally genius. It’s super important this gets revisited today because the young queens need to know your gay history!
Love this!1!
PLEEASE do more NEXT reviews. Make it a weekly thing. I LOVED that show and who better to do the recap than you!
Damnit Mateo I'm healing from a broken rib and I think I just re-broke it laughing so hard at this. My parting phrase with my friends is now "Bye bye Chewbaccaaaaaa!!"

Yall just a bunch of Adams😂
@@MrMdiaz84 I'm a McRib.
Couldn't stop cry laughing through this entire video. That era feels like a lifetime ago.

Please do every gay LGBT episode of Next.
There was only one, and thank god for that.

9:17 " My Mom and Dad don't know", so now that I'm out on national TV let's see if I can still keep up appearances. What the hell over!
😂😂😂Mom and Dad are also stupid!! Lmao or blind??? 😂😂😂
Omg please do parental control, dismissed ,room raiders , date my mom ! This is gold!
The dancer guy already had someone wrapped around him, plus the guy getting back on the bus did not even ask why he was in his speedo. Lol
Oh👏🏼my👏🏼goodness👏🏼

That was the most hilarious thing I’ve seen lately. The nostalgia is real.

More please!
WE NEED MORE!!! 😂
christopher's outfit is giving 'i'm going to interview you for a bank loan' lmao
