Speaker 1 (01:56):
Oh you had Teddy swims last night and we swam yeah,
out of the venue. Two and a half songs later.
They called it because it was lightning and it was flooding.
It was it was a monsoon here in Chicago. We
got we got hit with the rain, and then thirty
minutes later they called it. There was wacky five and
a half inches of rain in like half an hour.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
And it's not normal. That is not good. We're not
biked home through like two foot puddles of bike during

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Dan Ginsberg is here.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
What up?
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Great to be here. Yeah. Episode is all about.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Mtvvj's And I wanted to do this one because when
we first started talking about it, Ananda Lewis had just
passed away. Yeah, and she was from the I want
to say, like the late early two thousands, late nineties
era of MTV, back when MTV sort.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Of kind of played music videos, not a lot, but
they still did a little. Yeah, there was certain a
TRL takeoff she was and she was should jump onto that.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
She was very big in the TRL day. So we're
gonna go over the vj's. I'm gonna give you my
Mount Rushmore. Okay, and you're talking. You think this is
gonna be one of those podcasts you lean more on.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Me, Yeah, because you know, I feel like the VJ
phenomenon started like early eighties when I was not born. Yeah,
I was born in eighty two, so you know, I
have I have some memory from some of the later ones,
but this is definitely your cup of tea it.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Is, yeah, and being an eighties baby, I guess we'll
just start there. That's really when it kicked off, When
MTV kicked off. We never even heard of the word
VJ before. By the way, missed opportunity in the opening there.
I could have play I should have played a little
snippet of video radio star. Yeah, but we also copyright
when we were not started to play music. So but
that was that was the very first music video the
(03:44):
MTV played.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
But the irony is video did not kill the radio
star because we're still here. We work at a radio station.
But the video stars no. Through the ways, the DJs
not existed anymore.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Streaming killed the video stars something the world. I think
TV's reality tell right, reality TV success killed the videos.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
So MTV coms pops on the scene in the early eighties,
this new thing music television. They played music videos around
the clock, and they thought, you know what we need
to do. We need just like radio DJs that have
been around forever, we need these video jocks to kind
of introduce the songs yep, and you know, could let's
say a little tidbit about the artist that's in the video.
(04:25):
So the original four in I believe nineteen eighty eighty
twenty two, Mark Goodman, Nina Blackwood, Alan Hunter, JJ Jackson, and.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Martha k Quinn the original Do you remember any of
those at all? I do you know the names? Yeah,
I wreck. I would say, like most of the names,
ring A Bell. I have vague memories of Nina Blackwood.
She was like rocker check, right, but yeah, she had
a little chat, litle goth, she a little GoF tour.
I feel they kind of all were just down the
middle though in my opinion, they meaned a little each way,
(05:00):
but they weren't really genre specific. Then they're just kind
of like street shooting. Because this whole thing's new, right
and at the time NTV was kind of playing a
little bit of everything.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Uh so I think they call it kind of all
were just there's just they're just kind of like there.
I mean, they probably I didn't look into it, but
they probably came from radio, you would assume.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Sure, So that was the original five. It's also like
the evolution the same way TV. You know, the whole
TV landscape evolved from the early eighties to now. Like
back then it was much broader. They're trying to reach
a wide range of different types, right, so it makes
sense they'd choose mainstream. And then I'm sure as time
went on, much like with the TV landscape, and you
started getting networks that were targeting specific demographics, same thing
(05:41):
with them exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
And that didn't start too late because it come like
late eighties. That's when MTV started producing these programs that
were actually genre specific. So you're thinking like MTV head
Lover and Doctor Dre, those are the hosts of that. Yeah,
that was like groundbreaking because at that point MTV wasn't
(06:03):
playing like a lot of hip hop and that still
it was I think it was an hour and the
entire show was just dedicated to the culture and the music.
And I remember watching it as a kid and I
was like hook because it was a colorful and it
was like this sound is like I have nothing I
heard on the radio. So Doctor Dre and ever Lover
shout out to them. Another show, Head Banger's Ball. Head
Banger's Ball started with this guy Adam Curry, and do
(06:25):
you remember him, had the big hair, big old hair,
and then they went with more of like actual rock
guy Ricky Rockman. It's either Ricky Rockman or Rackman, he
was like all he had like tattoos. He was got
more like into that really heavy heavy metal stuff. So
head Banger's Ball another show just dedicated really to like
(06:46):
rock metal like that style, which again at the time,
MTV didn't spend a lot of time no playing videos
like that.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
But it's funny because they ended up I feel like
going in those two directions, and then you had MTV two,
which like doubled down on that provided more videos right
when MTV like less Detroit, straight pop YEP, and it
was more it was very like you had the hip
hop side and you had the like hard rock, heavy
metal side. You didn't see I mean MTV two almost
(07:14):
never did like mainstream stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
It was all it was all like an obscure but yeah,
it was more. It was more on a different genre
than than Top forty.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Yeah, TRL, which is I'm sure where you're going next,
We're getting there. Yeah. Kennedy. The other hand, Kennedy, you
gotta remember remember Kennedy. She was in the nineties.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Kennedy, she was kind of like that quirky like emo
first Emo Girl really did like an alt show.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
She felt more newsy too, like more hard Newsy. I
felt like she did.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I think she did do and she was part of
the news thing, but she did have all I think
it was it was like the alternative show or like
not alter Nation, but it was she she specifically at
that you had Downtown Brown of Me, some Downtown Julie
DTJB Club MTV is what she hosted. So now we
got like a dance show yep that played like probably
you know, the Labouches of the World, the Real Boy,
(08:04):
like that kind of sound, because that was hot, yeah,
early in the mid nineties. And then here's where we
start to get like really niche and like now we're
starting to see these MTV VJs. They're kind of becoming
the star of the show because their characters are so
wild that you probably you're turning, you're turning into MTV,
Like I would.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Watch MTV, but I would also have like a favorite VJ. Yeah,
not much like Brady Young Kiss FM weekday afternoons, when
I mean, yeah, you've got the music, but you're really
tuning in for the personality. God, I wish that was
the truth that you just spoke, but it is.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Paul Shore, my guy, Paulie Shore. He was probably the
most successful one to cross over. Yeah, in terms of
career at that point. J Yeah, yeah, because he had uh,
he had the the highly critically acclaimed uh you know.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Man en Roll, Weeezing the Juice, Yeah, son in Law, Yeah,
Jury Duty, Rotten Tomatoes, highly rated.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
I'm sure I'm gonna have a poly short movie marathon
one of these days.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
So fun. Dan Cortes, do you remember his words? Don't
remember Dan? Dan on the list and I'm like, I
have no recollection of this guy. But he's got a
great first name. He's Dan Cortes was. He was kind
of MTV's kickball King Dan. He was part of He
hosted MTV Sports. Okay, I did not even know MTV
Sports was a thing. It was a thing.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
It was the thing for at least a few years
where they would do not again, not like your mainstream.
I think it was probably like there's probably like skateboarding
or you know, you know Ultimate for sure, things like
really like like out there.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
But this this would have been probably pre X Game,
right around the time X Games.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Yeah, definitely before he had Eric Nice.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Eric Nice was responsible for hosting a fun TV show,
family friendly called The Grind.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Okay, I do remember that I do remember that scale
one to ten. Who can you tell? Do you remember
the first girl you grinded with? I mean our middle
school dances, like the parents and teachers were there as
chaperones just to prevent grinding. And let me tell you,
I actually, like I told this story on zero four
the first grade. You know, a radio station I worked
(10:14):
for because the first PTO paid time off I ever got.
I used to go be a band camp counselor tracks. Yeah,
and one of my jobs as band camp counselor was
to make sure the dances stayed appropriate, And me and
another camp counselor actually did an in person demo for
(10:38):
the students on what was and was not appropriate dancing,
grinding being an example of one that was unacceptable.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Now, if the microphone is the other person right now,
and you are about to do the inappropriate thing, how
would that look for people who are watching on YouTube?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
I would be up on it. I'm not going to
move this mic and I'm I'm not going to demonstrate,
but I would be there would be some physical connection
using your hands again so that people could Would it
be like would it be like this? Would you consider that?
Or more like this?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Or maybe a little combination. I'm I'm pressing my hands together.
If you're not watching, it's.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Basically a reenactment of things that would happen behind closed doors,
but like with clothes on. And just to think that
like this was something that we thought was cool and
wanted to do when we were like twelve thirteen years
old is insane.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Well, there was a TV show all about it called
The Grind and that is and there was no chaperones
on this MTV show.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
It was just Eric Niese encouraging said grinding.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
And that's probably where that's probably where our twelve of
your minds got it from. Well, I mean the other
like speaking of alternative side of it too. I mean
we were like middle school dances. We were doing mash
pits like they were because that's what was cool at
the time, like grind and machhing like they were. Chapar
can't imagine like being a parent. There you trying to
(12:04):
break up kids who are like trying to form a
circle with their hands out to catch people who are
just gonna like jump. I don't know how we survived.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Uh So my middle school dances, a lot of them. Anyways,
they're at the they're at the school, but they are
also separate ones that actually took place in churches, in
basements of churches. So you want to talk about like
things like going to hell. You're listening to Nirvana in
(12:33):
We're Grinding in St. Anne's in the basements church and Thorndyke.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Oh, the nineties at a.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Time, I mean not like not like things have really changed. Yeah,
I don't know they have, but they haven't.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Would you ever go back to your chaperone days just
for like one night only?
Speaker 3 (12:50):
In uh see how that goes. I love those I
mean not the dance chaperone in itself, but you know,
being a role model.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Matt Pinfield recently had a health scare. He's doing better now.
He's on the radio in I want to say California.
But he was this dude was just like he was
a music savant, like he knew he knew everything about
everything right. He hosted Alternative Nation. Daisy Fuentes I remember her, yep,
Daisy Fuentes. I think she was Cuban born and that
(13:20):
was like the first of her that era she was
a host. Now we're getting into like the late nineties,
two thousand sway, remember Sway.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Sway had his own like you know, following and his
kind was huge.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Yeah, I think he's doing I think he's doing like
satellite radio and he has a maybe he has his
own station. I want to say, And here we go prior,
right right before the TRL, this actually might have been
when TRL was going on, MTV had a competition to
see who could be the next big VJ.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
It was called Want to Be a VJ nineteen ninety eight.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
You heard the guy at the top who won it
coming in second place, who they actually ended up hiring
as well, was Dave Holmes. Yes, just like a solid
down the middle, like just a good old, wholesome, musical
knowledge guy, older dude, a right, a little bit older.
Yeah for the time. Yeah, but the time for probably
seemed like he was like fifty.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Right, well, because they're targeting teens in early twenties and
most of a lot of their on air people were
around that age. But he was more he felt more authoritative, like, yeah,
like he's trusted him, he's gonna he's gonna put us
in time out. Jesse Camp won it.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Jesse Camp, who I recently, not recently, but I saw him.
There was a time period where nobody heard or saw
from him, And there's rumors that is Jesse Camp dead,
like that was like a thing. He was at a
concert at a venue here in Chicago called Aragon yep,
and me and one of my friends went to a
show there.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
I think it was The Strokes and lombehold, I go, holy.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Is that Jesse Camp And he's just standing there like
by himself, on his own, on his own, looked looked
exactly the well, he looked like he had been gone
through some things, but he had like the same style
in this like hair, and like it was just trying,
you know, he still was like living the gimmick, which
I don't think is a gimmick.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
I think really it's him.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
He was just kind of like a stoner meets like
kind of like doesn't really care, can't answer questions or
do good interviews. So MTV is like, you're hired, So
I'm TV hired Jesse. And I remember at the time
too also I had a conversation with him. Seemed like
a conversation was really just me trying to get him
to say things to form a sentence. Didn't want to
(15:28):
stop talking, like I think, I know, I think I
think he was just excited that somebody.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Recognized him and remembered him.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Yeah, Jesse kimp So he won.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
He wins. I want to be a VJ.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Then they do it the next year and I'm in
college now and I'm like, I'm gonna try out for
this if this.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Dude can win.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
We went over to the college, the college television studio,
like the big ass camera green, like the whole thing,
and lo and behold I was being too much. Well
I was gonna win anyways, but I my delivery was
just too straightforward. They want like larger than life antics
and characters, something that pops. But that wasn't registering with
(16:07):
me because I was like taking it too serious, if
that makes sense. But I remember being albumed out like
that guy won, Like I was like right, what right?
Like he's not even like serious about it.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
That's how I feel every year in July. I'll feel
that way again. Actually, it's tonight the season premiere of
Big Brothers. Oh and see the people they chose to
cast instead of me, And I'm like, come on, Dan,
can I tell you something? It's up their loss? Thank
thank you. So it starts tonight, Yeah, premiere tonight for
those of you that don't know, Dan has seen every season.
(16:38):
I have every episode every season one. We're on season
twenty six. Do you get to get like a group
together or are we going to be texting the group
which just for like the Yeah, yeah, text for sure.
But you know it's live every Thursday, so like you
got to avoid spoilers if you're not at home sitting
on your couch to watch it, which I'm usually done. Yeah. Okay, ah,
did you get cable? I wanted to ask you growing
(16:59):
up in Spurts, it depends if the bill was paid. Yeah. See,
we never had cable till I was like thirteen fourteen.
I remember it was technically a birthday present for like
my sister and me. My parents wrapped a TV guide.
You know, the TV guide used to actually print what
was on each chance, and that was how they presented
us that we were getting cable, as it was a gift,
(17:20):
and he unwrapped it as a TV guide.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
You must have been so excited to go from a
not cable household to a cable It's a.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Different world totally, and that's part of my disconnect with
this early with the eighties stuff is a or you've
got a few years on me, but b we didn't
get cable. Like I remember how cool Like anytime I
was at a friend's house who had cable, they were
like the coolest friend and you got to like that.
That was my introduction to like Beavis and Butt heead
was like watching this show that I couldn't see at
home when I was over at my friend Mike's place. Yeah,
(17:52):
oh man, I hated that.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
When the times when we didn't have cable because take Away,
MTV take away all sports.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Like really sports, RP, YEP, take away.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Uh you know channels.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
That were scrambled, yes, that you could just listen to
and not see in your imagination room if you know,
you know Bill Bellamy was an MTV VJ comedian.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Chris Connelly, Yeah, you know you know his work from
because he's on ESPN, or at least he was a
few years back. He does like pieces for ESPN, like
the thirty for thirty like oh voice, those he came
from MTV. Uh then you go back, you said, Kennedy
reminded you of the news. Yes, the staple was obviously
Kurt Loder. Of course we are like the man is
eighty now or something. They want it pops up every year.
(18:36):
It's just makes just to make you feel old. John Norris,
MTV newsber that name.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Yeah, it's funny how the news they'd have these news
pop ons in the middle of like the least newsy shows. Yeah,
like you'd be watching some show gvviews.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Yeah, that's how I learned about Kurt Cobains.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Yeah, that was most famous single, like MTV news coverage. Yeah,
was that because that was a story obviously very close
to their audience that they were all over and there
was no social media. So that's how you found out
stuff like that. Now we kick it to TRL.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
My opinion, the goat Carson Daily, the man who came
from radio as well.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Yep, he had the NBC show for Ages.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Yeah, yeah, he had the NBC show what.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
It was Leno, then Conan then Carson. Is that right?
I think there was something in between. He was like
Late on the East Coast or something and the voice
he was the voice.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Yes, he is on the Today Show too, remember Laala? Yeah,
Now they rotated a bunch of those VJs through there, right,
Lala Anthony are married to Carmela ah and on the
Lewis who talked at the top. Damien Fahe and Brian
mcfhaden were also in that Tierra. This is when we
started to get MTV started to get pretty like we
(19:59):
wanted like we wanted like boy band looking dude, right.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
We talked to the hip hop and the heavy metal
angles and then that transitioning MTV two and then the
videos went away and then kind of came back, initially
via TRL like that was that was when videos kind
of came the pop videos, like mainstream stuff came back
into Christina. Yeah, but then he also said, like you
had the hard rock and the hip hop in there too.
(20:22):
I mean you had Destiny's Child was TRL era and
the limp Biscuit was all over TRL for a while.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Durst did it all for the nookie.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
I mean that that pretty much sums it up.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
They had the quick little comeback for TRL about ten
was it ten years ago? Less than that. Our buddy
Eric Zachary was the highest part of that. I was
really hoping that would take off. I just think they
they tried really hard and Eric did a great job.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
I just think absolutely.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
I just think it was like one of those things
where the audience was is different now.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Yeah, I don't think. I don't think today's society is
suited for it. I mean, and we're talking music videos.
I mean, you know YouTube. Obviously YouTube was around for
a long time before that, but the available everybody having
high stream you know, high speed data at home and
then smartphones that could stream videos like that wasn't a
thing when when you know, TRL was big, right big initially,
(21:19):
if you couldn't just stream a music video on your phone,
there's no kind of data. Yeah, no, it was like
two G. You could barely downloading a picture on your
phone if you even had My phone didn't even have
data for a while. But you know, now when you
can pull everything up on demand wherever you are, people
videos took off again. It's crazy. They almost had like
(21:40):
two peaks and then they took back off again. I
didn't think. I mean, I don't know about you. I
didn't like when when videos seemed to kind of fade
out in the twenty tens, I sort of thought that
was the end of it. Yeah, and now they're huge again.
But it's you're not going to be able to have
an event like you used to, where you're never going
to have everybody tuning into a two TRL like show
(22:01):
to watch the music come on like three o'clock, two
three in the afternoon.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
School, you get home from school, you turn on to
your three. Yeah that's what you did. Yeah, that was
like the daily routine. And now you're right now.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Now you watch it. You know, things premiere Thursday night
at midnight Eastern, and if you're really into the artists,
you might watch it the second it comes out, or
otherwise you watch it when you get a chance to
watch it on Friday, and you're gonna wait till TRL.
I hope they play my favorite one.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
I hope that they play my favorite instanct video.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
You can watch your favorite one whenever you want.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Or you want, yeah, so often times.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
So on September seventh, MTV will be broadcasting the Video
Music Awards. Always that that used to be one of
my favorites every year leading up to it. I don't

I'd have to have Kurt Loader on mine. I can't
really argue with any of yours.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
I don't remember him in the capacity of like being
in between the videos as much as the others. Just
I just remember him being the news guy. Yeah, yeah,

stations cross Country Center Base here in Chicago, and with
(01:43):
me again is the Kickball King.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
What up we played? You know? There was so there
was a as you get on your phone, the flood
warning last night.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah, we were out there during that. I also was
out in the flood.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Were you? I was at a concert.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Oh you had Teddy swims last night and we swam yeah,
out of the venue. Two and a half songs later.
They called it because it was lightning and it was flooding.
It was it was a monsoon here in Chicago. We
got we got hit with the rain, and then thirty
minutes later they called it. There was wacky five and
a half inches of rain in like half an hour.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
And it's not normal. That is not good. We're not
biked home through like two foot puddles of bike during
that Well, I had my bike out there.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Your bike Yeah, okay, yeah, Yeah, I'm glad you made it.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah. The Kickball King the chat GPT guru Ai corresponded,
you really are diabolical.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Dan Ginsberg is here.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
What up?
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Great to be here. Yeah. Episode is all about.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Mtvvj's And I wanted to do this one because when
we first started talking about it, Ananda Lewis had just
passed away. Yeah, and she was from the I want
to say, like the late early two thousands, late nineties
era of MTV, back when MTV sort.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Of kind of played music videos, not a lot, but
they still did a little. Yeah, there was certain a
TRL takeoff she was and she was should jump onto that.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
She was very big in the TRL day. So we're
gonna go over the vj's. I'm gonna give you my
Mount Rushmore. Okay, and you're talking. You think this is
gonna be one of those podcasts you lean more on.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Me, Yeah, because you know, I feel like the VJ
phenomenon started like early eighties when I was not born. Yeah,
I was born in eighty two, so you know, I
have I have some memory from some of the later ones,
but this is definitely your cup of tea it.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Is, yeah, and being an eighties baby, I guess we'll
just start there. That's really when it kicked off, When
MTV kicked off. We never even heard of the word
VJ before. By the way, missed opportunity in the opening there.
I could have play I should have played a little
snippet of video radio star. Yeah, but we also copyright
when we were not started to play music. So but
that was that was the very first music video the
(03:44):
MTV played.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
But the irony is video did not kill the radio
star because we're still here. We work at a radio station.
But the video stars no. Through the ways, the DJs
not existed anymore.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Streaming killed the video stars something the world. I think
TV's reality tell right, reality TV success killed the videos.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
So MTV coms pops on the scene in the early eighties,
this new thing music television. They played music videos around
the clock, and they thought, you know what we need
to do. We need just like radio DJs that have
been around forever, we need these video jocks to kind
of introduce the songs yep, and you know, could let's
say a little tidbit about the artist that's in the video.
(04:25):
So the original four in I believe nineteen eighty eighty
twenty two, Mark Goodman, Nina Blackwood, Alan Hunter, JJ Jackson, and.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Martha k Quinn the original Do you remember any of
those at all? I do you know the names? Yeah,
I wreck. I would say, like most of the names,
ring A Bell. I have vague memories of Nina Blackwood.
She was like rocker check, right, but yeah, she had
a little chat, litle goth, she a little GoF tour.
I feel they kind of all were just down the
middle though in my opinion, they meaned a little each way,
(05:00):
but they weren't really genre specific. Then they're just kind
of like street shooting. Because this whole thing's new, right
and at the time NTV was kind of playing a
little bit of everything.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Uh so I think they call it kind of all
were just there's just they're just kind of like there.
I mean, they probably I didn't look into it, but
they probably came from radio, you would assume.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Sure, So that was the original five. It's also like
the evolution the same way TV. You know, the whole
TV landscape evolved from the early eighties to now. Like
back then it was much broader. They're trying to reach
a wide range of different types, right, so it makes
sense they'd choose mainstream. And then I'm sure as time
went on, much like with the TV landscape, and you
started getting networks that were targeting specific demographics, same thing
(05:41):
with them exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
And that didn't start too late because it come like
late eighties. That's when MTV started producing these programs that
were actually genre specific. So you're thinking like MTV head
Lover and Doctor Dre, those are the hosts of that. Yeah,
that was like groundbreaking because at that point MTV wasn't
(06:03):
playing like a lot of hip hop and that still
it was I think it was an hour and the
entire show was just dedicated to the culture and the music.
And I remember watching it as a kid and I
was like hook because it was a colorful and it
was like this sound is like I have nothing I
heard on the radio. So Doctor Dre and ever Lover
shout out to them. Another show, Head Banger's Ball. Head
Banger's Ball started with this guy Adam Curry, and do
(06:25):
you remember him, had the big hair, big old hair,
and then they went with more of like actual rock
guy Ricky Rockman. It's either Ricky Rockman or Rackman, he
was like all he had like tattoos. He was got
more like into that really heavy heavy metal stuff. So
head Banger's Ball another show just dedicated really to like
(06:46):
rock metal like that style, which again at the time,
MTV didn't spend a lot of time no playing videos
like that.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
But it's funny because they ended up I feel like
going in those two directions, and then you had MTV two,
which like doubled down on that provided more videos right
when MTV like less Detroit, straight pop YEP, and it
was more it was very like you had the hip
hop side and you had the like hard rock, heavy
metal side. You didn't see I mean MTV two almost
(07:14):
never did like mainstream stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
It was all it was all like an obscure but yeah,
it was more. It was more on a different genre
than than Top forty.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Yeah, TRL, which is I'm sure where you're going next,
We're getting there. Yeah. Kennedy. The other hand, Kennedy, you
gotta remember remember Kennedy. She was in the nineties.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Kennedy, she was kind of like that quirky like emo
first Emo Girl really did like an alt show.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
She felt more newsy too, like more hard Newsy. I
felt like she did.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I think she did do and she was part of
the news thing, but she did have all I think
it was it was like the alternative show or like
not alter Nation, but it was she she specifically at
that you had Downtown Brown of Me, some Downtown Julie
DTJB Club MTV is what she hosted. So now we
got like a dance show yep that played like probably
you know, the Labouches of the World, the Real Boy,
(08:04):
like that kind of sound, because that was hot, yeah,
early in the mid nineties. And then here's where we
start to get like really niche and like now we're
starting to see these MTV VJs. They're kind of becoming
the star of the show because their characters are so
wild that you probably you're turning, you're turning into MTV,
Like I would.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Watch MTV, but I would also have like a favorite VJ. Yeah,
not much like Brady Young Kiss FM weekday afternoons, when
I mean, yeah, you've got the music, but you're really
tuning in for the personality. God, I wish that was
the truth that you just spoke, but it is.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Paul Shore, my guy, Paulie Shore. He was probably the
most successful one to cross over. Yeah, in terms of
career at that point. J Yeah, yeah, because he had uh,
he had the the highly critically acclaimed uh you know.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Man en Roll, Weeezing the Juice, Yeah, son in Law, Yeah,
Jury Duty, Rotten Tomatoes, highly rated.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
I'm sure I'm gonna have a poly short movie marathon
one of these days.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
So fun. Dan Cortes, do you remember his words? Don't
remember Dan? Dan on the list and I'm like, I
have no recollection of this guy. But he's got a
great first name. He's Dan Cortes was. He was kind
of MTV's kickball King Dan. He was part of He
hosted MTV Sports. Okay, I did not even know MTV
Sports was a thing. It was a thing.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
It was the thing for at least a few years
where they would do not again, not like your mainstream.
I think it was probably like there's probably like skateboarding
or you know, you know Ultimate for sure, things like
really like like out there.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
But this this would have been probably pre X Game,
right around the time X Games.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Yeah, definitely before he had Eric Nice.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Eric Nice was responsible for hosting a fun TV show,
family friendly called The Grind.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Okay, I do remember that I do remember that scale
one to ten. Who can you tell? Do you remember
the first girl you grinded with? I mean our middle
school dances, like the parents and teachers were there as
chaperones just to prevent grinding. And let me tell you,
I actually, like I told this story on zero four
the first grade. You know, a radio station I worked
(10:14):
for because the first PTO paid time off I ever got.
I used to go be a band camp counselor tracks. Yeah,
and one of my jobs as band camp counselor was
to make sure the dances stayed appropriate, And me and
another camp counselor actually did an in person demo for
(10:38):
the students on what was and was not appropriate dancing,
grinding being an example of one that was unacceptable.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Now, if the microphone is the other person right now,
and you are about to do the inappropriate thing, how
would that look for people who are watching on YouTube?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
I would be up on it. I'm not going to
move this mic and I'm I'm not going to demonstrate,
but I would be there would be some physical connection
using your hands again so that people could Would it
be like would it be like this? Would you consider that?
Or more like this?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Or maybe a little combination. I'm I'm pressing my hands together.
If you're not watching, it's.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Basically a reenactment of things that would happen behind closed doors,
but like with clothes on. And just to think that
like this was something that we thought was cool and
wanted to do when we were like twelve thirteen years
old is insane.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Well, there was a TV show all about it called
The Grind and that is and there was no chaperones
on this MTV show.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
It was just Eric Niese encouraging said grinding.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
And that's probably where that's probably where our twelve of
your minds got it from. Well, I mean the other
like speaking of alternative side of it too. I mean
we were like middle school dances. We were doing mash
pits like they were because that's what was cool at
the time, like grind and machhing like they were. Chapar
can't imagine like being a parent. There you trying to
(12:04):
break up kids who are like trying to form a
circle with their hands out to catch people who are
just gonna like jump. I don't know how we survived.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Uh So my middle school dances, a lot of them. Anyways,
they're at the they're at the school, but they are
also separate ones that actually took place in churches, in
basements of churches. So you want to talk about like
things like going to hell. You're listening to Nirvana in
(12:33):
We're Grinding in St. Anne's in the basements church and Thorndyke.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Oh, the nineties at a.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Time, I mean not like not like things have really changed. Yeah,
I don't know they have, but they haven't.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Would you ever go back to your chaperone days just
for like one night only?
Speaker 3 (12:50):
In uh see how that goes. I love those I
mean not the dance chaperone in itself, but you know,
being a role model.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Matt Pinfield recently had a health scare. He's doing better now.
He's on the radio in I want to say California.
But he was this dude was just like he was
a music savant, like he knew he knew everything about
everything right. He hosted Alternative Nation. Daisy Fuentes I remember her, yep,
Daisy Fuentes. I think she was Cuban born and that
(13:20):
was like the first of her that era she was
a host. Now we're getting into like the late nineties,
two thousand sway, remember Sway.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Sway had his own like you know, following and his
kind was huge.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Yeah, I think he's doing I think he's doing like
satellite radio and he has a maybe he has his
own station. I want to say, And here we go prior,
right right before the TRL, this actually might have been
when TRL was going on, MTV had a competition to
see who could be the next big VJ.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
It was called Want to Be a VJ nineteen ninety eight.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
You heard the guy at the top who won it
coming in second place, who they actually ended up hiring
as well, was Dave Holmes. Yes, just like a solid
down the middle, like just a good old, wholesome, musical
knowledge guy, older dude, a right, a little bit older.
Yeah for the time. Yeah, but the time for probably
seemed like he was like fifty.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Right, well, because they're targeting teens in early twenties and
most of a lot of their on air people were
around that age. But he was more he felt more authoritative, like, yeah,
like he's trusted him, he's gonna he's gonna put us
in time out. Jesse Camp won it.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Jesse Camp, who I recently, not recently, but I saw him.
There was a time period where nobody heard or saw
from him, And there's rumors that is Jesse Camp dead,
like that was like a thing. He was at a
concert at a venue here in Chicago called Aragon yep,
and me and one of my friends went to a
show there.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
I think it was The Strokes and lombehold, I go, holy.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Is that Jesse Camp And he's just standing there like
by himself, on his own, on his own, looked looked
exactly the well, he looked like he had been gone
through some things, but he had like the same style
in this like hair, and like it was just trying,
you know, he still was like living the gimmick, which
I don't think is a gimmick.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
I think really it's him.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
He was just kind of like a stoner meets like
kind of like doesn't really care, can't answer questions or
do good interviews. So MTV is like, you're hired, So
I'm TV hired Jesse. And I remember at the time
too also I had a conversation with him. Seemed like
a conversation was really just me trying to get him
to say things to form a sentence. Didn't want to
(15:28):
stop talking, like I think, I know, I think I
think he was just excited that somebody.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Recognized him and remembered him.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Yeah, Jesse kimp So he won.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
He wins. I want to be a VJ.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Then they do it the next year and I'm in
college now and I'm like, I'm gonna try out for
this if this.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Dude can win.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
We went over to the college, the college television studio,
like the big ass camera green, like the whole thing,
and lo and behold I was being too much. Well
I was gonna win anyways, but I my delivery was
just too straightforward. They want like larger than life antics
and characters, something that pops. But that wasn't registering with
(16:07):
me because I was like taking it too serious, if
that makes sense. But I remember being albumed out like
that guy won, Like I was like right, what right?
Like he's not even like serious about it.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
That's how I feel every year in July. I'll feel
that way again. Actually, it's tonight the season premiere of
Big Brothers. Oh and see the people they chose to
cast instead of me, And I'm like, come on, Dan,
can I tell you something? It's up their loss? Thank
thank you. So it starts tonight, Yeah, premiere tonight for
those of you that don't know, Dan has seen every season.
(16:38):
I have every episode every season one. We're on season
twenty six. Do you get to get like a group
together or are we going to be texting the group
which just for like the Yeah, yeah, text for sure.
But you know it's live every Thursday, so like you
got to avoid spoilers if you're not at home sitting
on your couch to watch it, which I'm usually done. Yeah. Okay, ah,
did you get cable? I wanted to ask you growing
(16:59):
up in Spurts, it depends if the bill was paid. Yeah. See,
we never had cable till I was like thirteen fourteen.
I remember it was technically a birthday present for like
my sister and me. My parents wrapped a TV guide.
You know, the TV guide used to actually print what
was on each chance, and that was how they presented
us that we were getting cable, as it was a gift,
(17:20):
and he unwrapped it as a TV guide.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
You must have been so excited to go from a
not cable household to a cable It's a.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Different world totally, and that's part of my disconnect with
this early with the eighties stuff is a or you've
got a few years on me, but b we didn't
get cable. Like I remember how cool Like anytime I
was at a friend's house who had cable, they were
like the coolest friend and you got to like that.
That was my introduction to like Beavis and Butt heead
was like watching this show that I couldn't see at
home when I was over at my friend Mike's place. Yeah,
(17:52):
oh man, I hated that.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
When the times when we didn't have cable because take Away,
MTV take away all sports.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Like really sports, RP, YEP, take away.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Uh you know channels.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
That were scrambled, yes, that you could just listen to
and not see in your imagination room if you know,
you know Bill Bellamy was an MTV VJ comedian.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Chris Connelly, Yeah, you know you know his work from
because he's on ESPN, or at least he was a
few years back. He does like pieces for ESPN, like
the thirty for thirty like oh voice, those he came
from MTV. Uh then you go back, you said, Kennedy
reminded you of the news. Yes, the staple was obviously
Kurt Loder. Of course we are like the man is
eighty now or something. They want it pops up every year.
(18:36):
It's just makes just to make you feel old. John Norris,
MTV newsber that name.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Yeah, it's funny how the news they'd have these news
pop ons in the middle of like the least newsy shows. Yeah,
like you'd be watching some show gvviews.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Yeah, that's how I learned about Kurt Cobains.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Yeah, that was most famous single, like MTV news coverage. Yeah,
was that because that was a story obviously very close
to their audience that they were all over and there
was no social media. So that's how you found out
stuff like that. Now we kick it to TRL.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
My opinion, the goat Carson Daily, the man who came
from radio as well.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Yep, he had the NBC show for Ages.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Yeah, yeah, he had the NBC show what.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
It was Leno, then Conan then Carson. Is that right?
I think there was something in between. He was like
Late on the East Coast or something and the voice
he was the voice.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Yes, he is on the Today Show too, remember Laala? Yeah,
Now they rotated a bunch of those VJs through there, right,
Lala Anthony are married to Carmela ah and on the
Lewis who talked at the top. Damien Fahe and Brian
mcfhaden were also in that Tierra. This is when we
started to get MTV started to get pretty like we
(19:59):
wanted like we wanted like boy band looking dude, right.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
We talked to the hip hop and the heavy metal
angles and then that transitioning MTV two and then the
videos went away and then kind of came back, initially
via TRL like that was that was when videos kind
of came the pop videos, like mainstream stuff came back
into Christina. Yeah, but then he also said, like you
had the hard rock and the hip hop in there too.
(20:22):
I mean you had Destiny's Child was TRL era and
the limp Biscuit was all over TRL for a while.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Durst did it all for the nookie.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
I mean that that pretty much sums it up.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
They had the quick little comeback for TRL about ten
was it ten years ago? Less than that. Our buddy
Eric Zachary was the highest part of that. I was
really hoping that would take off. I just think they
they tried really hard and Eric did a great job.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
I just think absolutely.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
I just think it was like one of those things
where the audience was is different now.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Yeah, I don't think. I don't think today's society is
suited for it. I mean, and we're talking music videos.
I mean, you know YouTube. Obviously YouTube was around for
a long time before that, but the available everybody having
high stream you know, high speed data at home and
then smartphones that could stream videos like that wasn't a
thing when when you know, TRL was big, right big initially,
(21:19):
if you couldn't just stream a music video on your phone,
there's no kind of data. Yeah, no, it was like
two G. You could barely downloading a picture on your
phone if you even had My phone didn't even have
data for a while. But you know, now when you
can pull everything up on demand wherever you are, people
videos took off again. It's crazy. They almost had like
(21:40):
two peaks and then they took back off again. I
didn't think. I mean, I don't know about you. I
didn't like when when videos seemed to kind of fade
out in the twenty tens, I sort of thought that
was the end of it. Yeah, and now they're huge again.
But it's you're not going to be able to have
an event like you used to, where you're never going
to have everybody tuning into a two TRL like show
(22:01):
to watch the music come on like three o'clock, two
three in the afternoon.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
School, you get home from school, you turn on to
your three. Yeah that's what you did. Yeah, that was
like the daily routine. And now you're right now.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Now you watch it. You know, things premiere Thursday night
at midnight Eastern, and if you're really into the artists,
you might watch it the second it comes out, or
otherwise you watch it when you get a chance to
watch it on Friday, and you're gonna wait till TRL.
I hope they play my favorite one.
Speaker 4 (22:25):

Speaker 3 (22:27):

really argue with any of yours.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
I don't remember him in the capacity of like being
in between the videos as much as the others. Just
I just remember him being the news guy. Yeah, yeah,
I just remember that's that's fair. You're right, you know
what I mean of him more in a news context, yeah,
