Speaker 2 (01:13):
We're getting back out there. This Saturday is our first
outdoor game in like months. Knows meltings that foot to kickball. Yeah,
it's gonna be thirty degrees, but that's fine.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
A guy who has just as much useless knowledge and
pop music as I do. You could say that and
he does not say no, not at least in my experience. Ever, ever, ever,
will refuse to say. Nowhere, nice good old fashioned cookie skillet. Oh,
hell yes, cookie skillet, brownie skillet. Yeah, an egg skillet
you'd like If it's got skillet in it, I'm gonna
(01:43):
eat it. I like that.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Like my tagline sizzling sizzling fihetas from Chili. Absolutely, yeah,
we need to do another Chili's Outing.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
It's been a while. It has been the fact that
we've done at Chili's Outing. He's impressive, already, dashing din
Dan Ginsberg is here, and today we are not talking fashion.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Oh I got chucked out in my nicest old American
honey T shirt.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
And if all things go right, you'll be able to
actually see dance fashion because we have some cameras right here.
Hello the first time have hi? Oh helloy, Yes, it
is me. This is what I look like. Instead of fashion,
we're going to save that for another day, a fashionable day.
It's more of a MySpace day. What we're talking about.
We're talking about my Space, which was really big in
(02:29):
the two thousands. Of course, we deep dive into these
topics nineties and two thousands, and nothing was bigger in
that mid to late two thousands era than the social
network called my Space. Yes, my Space sword and then
it had an epic fall. It happened really quick. Yeah,
it was. It was like a high risk, high reward concept. Well,
(02:51):
it was launched in two thousand and three. Yeah, so
I was a little late to the party. I've got
a meeting with Greg later. That's good to know. Effect on.
I want to know anytime you get anything. It was
launched in two thousand and three. By April of two
thousand and eight, my Space already had one hundred and
fifteen million users. So real quick, uh skyrocketed success for MySpace.
(03:16):
This is before now for the younger people listening to
the podcast, this was before any social media existed. There
was Friendster. Do you remember Friendster? I remember it vaguely.
Never was a part very short run. Were you a
part of Friendster? I was on it, but it was
like very very primitive. I mean people don't remember even
like when Facebook first started, there weren't walls, there weren't timelines.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
It was like you had a profile with like basic stuff,
and Friendster was like the most basic, like you basically
could just friend request people and you could see who
people were friends were and that.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Was it just friends, Yeah, and it was. It was
cute jointed Friendster because of the TV show Friends. I
thought they had something to write with this. It turned
out it didn't, knowing your obsession with friends.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Okay, So so Friendster was the first I think real
like widespread social media, but you couldn't do much on it.
And then my Space came next, and MySpace actually had
a bunch of cool stuff you could do.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
They did, yeah, let's talk about it. So you could
all of a sudden in bed videos yeah, which never
did in music so cool yeah, because YouTube was just
taken off too. So you just copy the code and
put it right onto your MySpace yep. Of course music,
you could have a song, which is what this whole
episode and topic is about. That was huge. And if
you can do.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Edit your background as well, you could have a custom
pattern photo.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Now what was if you could recall what was the style,
like this is there's styles do you remember?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah, I mean I don't know that fitting with the
fact that I in my twenties didn't really have style.
I don't know that my profile did. It probably was
whatever background came as the default. What was yours? I
feel like I wanted I went a little deep. I
dugged a little bit. I mean, I didn't create it.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
They had options for you, and I feel like I
just picked one. It was maybe like a I don't know,
I'm thinking you remember when we were making school pictures
and grade in middle school and there was the one
back drop that had the lasers. Oh my god, Yes,
it's probably that's great. That's great. Uh. And of course,
probably the most famous part of my Space. I mean,
the songs were really really popular, having you know, everybody
(05:15):
want to check out what your song is. There was
the top eight Friends. Yes feature Tom Tom was my
Space Tom MySpace Tom. Tom Anderson one of the presidents,
one of the founders of MySpace. He was automatically one
of your friends when you signed up for MySpace, which
you had to go to MySpace dot com because there
was no apps at this point, as it exists. So
you go there, you create your MySpace count and your profile,
(05:37):
You get your picture, put it up there in the
top left corner, you talk about like who you are.
You can embed videos. Now you have a wall, and
you kind of bring in your friends to create your
top eight friends. And I'm guessing for some in some
circles that probably created drama.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Oh yeah, right eight time you would look at your front.
If you made someone your top eight, you wanted to
make sure you were in their top to bro, why
aren't we each other's top eight?
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Why am I yours and you're not my? Yeah? Yeah,
I kept Tom as my as my number one. I
just did you? Yeah, I think I booted him. Sorry, Tom,
I hope you're doing all oka.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
He had a little I mean, he must have been
a little self conscious if he wanted to be in
everyone's top eight.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
I think he deserved it.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
The other thing too, with the top eight and with
the friends is it was the first again very primitive,
but you had messaging like you could. It wasn't a
term yet, but you could slide into DMS for the
first time. I remember I was working on with Connie
and Fish and zero O four and Madison my first
morning show gig, and we would have listeners, you know,
(06:38):
listeners would slide into my dms.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yes, that was the first DM. Yeah, it wasn't called that.
And I used that to my advantage because at the time,
at the time, right as MySpace is coming up, so
is this guy named Brady in this radio industry.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
So I used it to like, Luckily he didn't have
as as chaotic a fall.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Oh yes, correct, Yes, I'm still here than my Space,
not so much. But I would use it to like
promote the show. So I have a nice show in Connecticut,
and I would say, coming up on the show, we're
playing Acon, I'm giving away six Flags passes.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
And then here we have thirty years later, we're still
playing Acon and giving away six Flags passes.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
More things change anyway, So yeah, so this is kind
of the how the beginning of my Space was. Right, like, so,
we have a wall, we've created our picture, we talk
about ourselves a little bit, we got our friends. But today,
for today's episode, we want to focus solely on your song.
So when you go to you know, dashing Dan Ginsburg
(07:36):
page right, a song will play, right, it'll automatically play,
and you're the one that decides what that song is.
How often did you change your.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Song that I changed a lot, you know, every game constantly,
probably every I would guess two weeks on.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Average, maybe more for me.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yeah, what's wild is speaking of like MySpace being on
the cutting edge of trends, Like that was the first
time you ever saw artists that actually became big because
of an Internet platform you had, Lily Allen, really was MySpace.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Arctic Monkeys my Space no idea. Yeah, they were.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
You know, now everybody's doing it on TikTok obviously, but
that was like the first time you had a platform
that was actually not just letting you throw out artists
you like, but like having artists get their start.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
We could discover new artists that we've never heard of
because maybe friends of Arctic Monkeys were friends of friends
of friends, or eventually the song would blow up and
all of a sudden, people are adding it to their
program again, went viral. Before that wasn't a term yet either,
any of it. Yeah, that's crazy. So, yeah, we're talking
about the songs of MySpace. I could not think of
I thought of one in particular, and I know, like
(08:46):
you said, I changed it all the time. So I
picked three three songs that kind of define that era
and like where I was, and the three songs that
were my MySpace songs at one point in time could
not be any.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Mine haven't quite a range as well from each other.
Do you have a few as all right? Do you
want to go? If you want to you go first? Okay,
my first one, because you know, I was like an E.
D M kid from probably high school on Cascata every
time we touch great.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
That was just a bop of mine around the space.
And that's a song that stood the test of time. Again,
there you go, while we're giving away success. It gets
here every time, right start playing that song. Wow, that
is a great MySpace song. That was oh six oh man,
yeah right around then. Okay, that's a good one. All right, Okay,
I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go with My first one
(09:35):
was one of my favorite bands of that era, probably
actually a little bit more before the MySpace era, but
I was really into this band Incubus. Ah. Yes, it
wasn't dry. It was like a song that was more
on the alternative charts stellar Okay. I just love that
song and it like it was a it was it
(09:55):
had like a rock part to it, but it was
also incubus. So the dude's got like this phenomenal singing
voice and the lyrics were pretty So I want to like,
don't forget this is this whole era. I'm single, I
want to show I want to show girls, but I'm sensitive.
But this is so edgy.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
So okay, that's a perfect transition into my next one,
because that was the point I was going to make,
is that it wasn't just about I like this song,
Like this was going on your profile, so there was
a there was a meeting. You were trying to express something,
and so when you talked about wanting to show girls,
you were sensitive. I know girls, I said to that.
Hence my next MySpace song, plain white teas. Hey there, Delight.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
You did not Oh no, did anybody like call you
up to check on you? Are you okay? I saw
your MySpace song and I just wanted to make sure
everything's all white? Do you want to borrow my copies
of it? Off? You know local guys play? Yeah? Hey there, Delilah.
(10:56):
If I never hear that song ever again, I wouldn't
be mad, really would be man. Next, what's your next? Okay?
This is gonna you know what, I will see your
plain white teas and I will raise you. Nick La,
what's left of me? Oh my god, you just mocked
me for plain white teas and then you threw out
(11:16):
what the that was that the theme song from the
Jessica Simpson Nicolas. Yes, it may have been Chicken at
the Sea. Yeah, well, nick Lache, this is for multiple
reasons him, I me, and I thought I was I
had a tribal tattoo. This amazes like, this is a
(11:39):
whole two thousands Brady painting the picture. Can you dress
for the fashion episode? I need you to dress up
like this? Ye, the white tank, all the things. Yeah,
but no, the funny part was that was me trying
to be uh be a little give a little satire, right,
like this is fun. It was just kind of funny, like,
no dude is going to like frat park? Areadies listening
(12:00):
to Nick Lache a conversation start? Yeah? Right? And Also
I think I did an interview with him early on.
I know I didn't interview with him, but I think
it kind of matched up timing wise, and honestly, one
of the nicest dudes I've ever interviewed, just such a
we didn't We talked baseball for like half hour. Son,
What's left of me? Did not see that one? We're
(12:22):
gonna have to do a ninety eight degrees episode?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Oh my god, I mean we should just do a
boy band episode. Deserves their own, their own Okay, okay,
what about Last Life?
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Maybe West Life? That's a second West Life reference on
the podcast Trying You're true, You're really trying to make
it happen again? All right? What you got? Third? One?
Last time?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
I had to go like something alt rocky because I
feel like there were several of them, and I debated
another local group of fallout boys, Sugar were going down,
thought about the Killers Mister Brightside broughbab one of the
biggest rock songs of all time. Yeah, I'm gonna go
Jimmy Eat World the Middle, mostly just because I freaking
loved that song, and it just it was like a
(13:00):
vibe that was more like a vibe song. Like you know,
you had your songs that you were trying to give
a glimpse into your personality or what you were trying
to portray.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Your personality to be.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Yeah, and then you had just like the vibe songs
you loved and that was just I was obsessed with
that song.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
That's a fun one. When people click on your profile,
they hear Jimmy World the middle like Dan, this is
a fun guy. I want to go to a party
with this guy. Soon as you hear yeah, well hopefully
whatever party we're going to, the parents are gone for
the weekend and we don't break anything around the house
and there's a cag Oh no we did. I hosted
one and we broke a glass table and that song
was on repeat. I'm guessing that's a story. It's spend
(13:36):
a long time. I like that Jimmy eat World my
last one. I'm gonna go more hip hop in that era.
And this is kind of reflective of just me in general,
being a music fan of just all genres. The game
How we Do? Okay? Right? Yeah, I mean that song
hit it did. I was good. It was a top
forty hit too. It was huge. Yeah, so how we Do?
(13:57):
And then people will come on they be like, oh,
what is this guy? What is he like? What music
does he really? He's like he's liking everything right here.
So now they start to wonder, they sort to ask questions,
and this is how you know, conversations happen. So there's
my three. That was a great man. He had his
he had a run, he had his run, he had
to run. He came after Fiddy yep, right, so fit,
he came after eminem. It was kind of like the
(14:18):
passing of the torch. So we have our three. Here
are some of the most popular I looked it up. Oh,
great popular MySpace song. Do we get any of them?
Did you say Fallouf Boy, Sugar run Down? I threw
it in there. I didn't pick it though. That was
that was on the list. That was number five. I'll
give you the top five. That was number five. Number
four my Chemical romance Welcome to the Black Parade. That
(14:38):
checks out like that, That checks all the boxes. I
think that's like, no, I really hope they're okay. That's
their MySpace Such a depressing song. That's a fair point.
I guess I hadn't considered the.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Lyrics, but it just fits the time, It fits the
the vibe you're trying to look like an emotional dude, right.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Number four was Rihanna's Umbrella, okay. Number three was Chris
Brown's with You all Right? Great song, and number one
not very novelty I don't know the last time I
heard this. I do remember early, early, early, early in
my radio career. This song was in like the top
nine and nine countdown at like every night, number one,
(15:20):
laughy oh God, Happy, D four L D four L
then number one. I can't remember what I did yesterday,
but somehow I can remember four. So there you go.
That was That song was horrible. By the way, I
would say.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Hit the unpopular opinion button, but I don't really think
that's an unpopular opinion.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I think it is all right, unpopular opinion, and everybody
will agree laffy tappy, terrible song.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
There's nothing good about that song, over and over again
for like probably two minutes.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I'm gonna go play it on my show today and
let's see what happened when I warned me, so I
can change the channel, all right. So there you have.
That's our my Space episode. I do agree with you.
I think at that era that was really my space.
Your profile was an expression more than anything. It was
here's who I am, Here's how I want people to
see me, even though not necessarily this is who I
(16:14):
really am. Nicholas, sure, but this is what this is
what I want. That part hasn't changed. Social media still
is who I want people to think. I am not.
But this is where it started. This is really where
it started. And then Facebook kind of took over. They
came out around the same time my Space, I think,
became more popular or quicker because at the time, if
(16:34):
you remember, Facebook was only allowed if you had a
college email address, y.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
And you could only see people in your college, which
was cool for that purpose, but yeah, not as this
was public.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Have you trust Have you tried? Have you tried for
research purposes to go back onto your MySpace page when
we found out I really can't figure out my passwords.
I tried, and if you look it up, it looks scary.
It looks like a different universe. I don't know what's
going on. I thought it evolved.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
It's they tried to make like make it into just
like a music platform or something. The keyword you said
there was they tried, right, whatever they tried failed.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
It's too bad because that was fun. I know, I know.
I want to somehow there is there is a way,
there's some app or something that you can actually go
back and look at a screenshot of websites and yeah,
the way back machine. I think that I've used it
for other stuff. I need to I need to get
a screenshot of whatever, like douchebag pose I'm making in
like in my picture and what and what my profile
(17:35):
says about me, because I'm guessing it's completely unprofessional. The
concept of professional was different in those days. Yeah, but
here we are very pressure. Oh I always all right,
thanks for hanging out. It is the Brady One More
Time Podcast. Let us know what your MySpace song was.
We're going to post this up on all the socials

you kind of bring in your friends to create your
top eight friends. And I'm guessing for some in some
circles that probably created drama.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Oh yeah, right eight time you would look at your front.
If you made someone your top eight, you wanted to
make sure you were in their top to bro, why
aren't we each other's top eight?
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Why am I yours and you're not my? Yeah? Yeah,
I kept Tom as my as my number one. I
just did you? Yeah, I think I booted him. Sorry, Tom,
I hope you're doing all oka.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
He had a little I mean, he must have been
a little self conscious if he wanted to be in
everyone's top eight.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
I think he deserved it.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
The other thing too, with the top eight and with
the friends is it was the first again very primitive,
but you had messaging like you could. It wasn't a
term yet, but you could slide into DMS for the
first time. I remember I was working on with Connie
and Fish and zero O four and Madison my first
morning show gig, and we would have listeners, you know,
(06:38):
listeners would slide into my dms.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yes, that was the first DM. Yeah, it wasn't called that.
And I used that to my advantage because at the time,
at the time, right as MySpace is coming up, so
is this guy named Brady in this radio industry.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
So I used it to like, Luckily he didn't have
as as chaotic a fall.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Oh yes, correct, Yes, I'm still here than my Space,
not so much. But I would use it to like
promote the show. So I have a nice show in Connecticut,
and I would say, coming up on the show, we're
playing Acon, I'm giving away six Flags passes.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
And then here we have thirty years later, we're still
playing Acon and giving away six Flags passes.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
More things change anyway, So yeah, so this is kind
of the how the beginning of my Space was. Right, like, so,
we have a wall, we've created our picture, we talk
about ourselves a little bit, we got our friends. But today,
for today's episode, we want to focus solely on your song.
So when you go to you know, dashing Dan Ginsburg
(07:36):
page right, a song will play, right, it'll automatically play,
and you're the one that decides what that song is.
How often did you change your.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Song that I changed a lot, you know, every game constantly,
probably every I would guess two weeks on.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Average, maybe more for me.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yeah, what's wild is speaking of like MySpace being on
the cutting edge of trends, Like that was the first
time you ever saw artists that actually became big because
of an Internet platform you had, Lily Allen, really was MySpace.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Arctic Monkeys my Space no idea. Yeah, they were.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
You know, now everybody's doing it on TikTok obviously, but
that was like the first time you had a platform
that was actually not just letting you throw out artists
you like, but like having artists get their start.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
We could discover new artists that we've never heard of
because maybe friends of Arctic Monkeys were friends of friends
of friends, or eventually the song would blow up and
all of a sudden, people are adding it to their
program again, went viral. Before that wasn't a term yet either,
any of it. Yeah, that's crazy. So, yeah, we're talking
about the songs of MySpace. I could not think of
I thought of one in particular, and I know, like
(08:46):
you said, I changed it all the time. So I
picked three three songs that kind of define that era
and like where I was, and the three songs that
were my MySpace songs at one point in time could
not be any.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Mine haven't quite a range as well from each other.
Do you have a few as all right? Do you
want to go? If you want to you go first? Okay,
my first one, because you know, I was like an E.
D M kid from probably high school on Cascata every
time we touch great.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
That was just a bop of mine around the space.
And that's a song that stood the test of time. Again,
there you go, while we're giving away success. It gets
here every time, right start playing that song. Wow, that
is a great MySpace song. That was oh six oh man,
yeah right around then. Okay, that's a good one. All right, Okay,
I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go with My first one
(09:35):
was one of my favorite bands of that era, probably
actually a little bit more before the MySpace era, but
I was really into this band Incubus. Ah. Yes, it
wasn't dry. It was like a song that was more
on the alternative charts stellar Okay. I just love that
song and it like it was a it was it
(09:55):
had like a rock part to it, but it was
also incubus. So the dude's got like this phenomenal singing
voice and the lyrics were pretty So I want to like,
don't forget this is this whole era. I'm single, I
want to show I want to show girls, but I'm sensitive.
But this is so edgy.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
So okay, that's a perfect transition into my next one,
because that was the point I was going to make,
is that it wasn't just about I like this song,
Like this was going on your profile, so there was
a there was a meeting. You were trying to express something,
and so when you talked about wanting to show girls,
you were sensitive. I know girls, I said to that.
Hence my next MySpace song, plain white teas. Hey there, Delight.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
You did not Oh no, did anybody like call you
up to check on you? Are you okay? I saw
your MySpace song and I just wanted to make sure
everything's all white? Do you want to borrow my copies
of it? Off? You know local guys play? Yeah? Hey there, Delilah.
(10:56):
If I never hear that song ever again, I wouldn't
be mad, really would be man. Next, what's your next? Okay?
This is gonna you know what, I will see your
plain white teas and I will raise you. Nick La,
what's left of me? Oh my god, you just mocked
me for plain white teas and then you threw out
(11:16):
what the that was that the theme song from the
Jessica Simpson Nicolas. Yes, it may have been Chicken at
the Sea. Yeah, well, nick Lache, this is for multiple
reasons him, I me, and I thought I was I
had a tribal tattoo. This amazes like, this is a
(11:39):
whole two thousands Brady painting the picture. Can you dress
for the fashion episode? I need you to dress up
like this? Ye, the white tank, all the things. Yeah,
but no, the funny part was that was me trying
to be uh be a little give a little satire, right,
like this is fun. It was just kind of funny, like,
no dude is going to like frat park? Areadies listening
(12:00):
to Nick Lache a conversation start? Yeah? Right? And Also
I think I did an interview with him early on.
I know I didn't interview with him, but I think
it kind of matched up timing wise, and honestly, one
of the nicest dudes I've ever interviewed, just such a
we didn't We talked baseball for like half hour. Son,
What's left of me? Did not see that one? We're
(12:22):
gonna have to do a ninety eight degrees episode?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Oh my god, I mean we should just do a
boy band episode. Deserves their own, their own Okay, okay,
what about Last Life?
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Maybe West Life? That's a second West Life reference on
the podcast Trying You're true, You're really trying to make
it happen again? All right? What you got? Third? One?
Last time?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
I had to go like something alt rocky because I
feel like there were several of them, and I debated
another local group of fallout boys, Sugar were going down,
thought about the Killers Mister Brightside broughbab one of the
biggest rock songs of all time. Yeah, I'm gonna go
Jimmy Eat World the Middle, mostly just because I freaking
loved that song, and it just it was like a
(13:00):
vibe that was more like a vibe song. Like you know,
you had your songs that you were trying to give
a glimpse into your personality or what you were trying
to portray.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Your personality to be.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Yeah, and then you had just like the vibe songs
you loved and that was just I was obsessed with
that song.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
That's a fun one. When people click on your profile,
they hear Jimmy World the middle like Dan, this is
a fun guy. I want to go to a party
with this guy. Soon as you hear yeah, well hopefully
whatever party we're going to, the parents are gone for
the weekend and we don't break anything around the house
and there's a cag Oh no we did. I hosted
one and we broke a glass table and that song
was on repeat. I'm guessing that's a story. It's spend
(13:36):
a long time. I like that Jimmy eat World my
last one. I'm gonna go more hip hop in that era.
And this is kind of reflective of just me in general,
being a music fan of just all genres. The game
How we Do? Okay? Right? Yeah, I mean that song
hit it did. I was good. It was a top
forty hit too. It was huge. Yeah, so how we Do?
(13:57):
And then people will come on they be like, oh,
what is this guy? What is he like? What music
does he really? He's like he's liking everything right here.
So now they start to wonder, they sort to ask questions,
and this is how you know, conversations happen. So there's
my three. That was a great man. He had his
he had a run, he had his run, he had
to run. He came after Fiddy yep, right, so fit,
he came after eminem. It was kind of like the
(14:18):
passing of the torch. So we have our three. Here
are some of the most popular I looked it up. Oh,
great popular MySpace song. Do we get any of them?
Did you say Fallouf Boy, Sugar run Down? I threw
it in there. I didn't pick it though. That was
that was on the list. That was number five. I'll
give you the top five. That was number five. Number
four my Chemical romance Welcome to the Black Parade. That
(14:38):
checks out like that, That checks all the boxes. I
think that's like, no, I really hope they're okay. That's
their MySpace Such a depressing song. That's a fair point.
I guess I hadn't considered the.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Lyrics, but it just fits the time, It fits the
the vibe you're trying to look like an emotional dude, right.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Number four was Rihanna's Umbrella, okay. Number three was Chris
Brown's with You all Right? Great song, and number one
not very novelty I don't know the last time I
heard this. I do remember early, early, early, early in
my radio career. This song was in like the top
nine and nine countdown at like every night, number one,
(15:20):
laughy oh God, Happy, D four L D four L
then number one. I can't remember what I did yesterday,
but somehow I can remember four. So there you go.
That was That song was horrible. By the way, I
would say.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Hit the unpopular opinion button, but I don't really think
that's an unpopular opinion.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I think it is all right, unpopular opinion, and everybody
will agree laffy tappy, terrible song.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
There's nothing good about that song, over and over again
for like probably two minutes.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I'm gonna go play it on my show today and
let's see what happened when I warned me, so I
can change the channel, all right. So there you have.
That's our my Space episode. I do agree with you.
I think at that era that was really my space.
Your profile was an expression more than anything. It was
here's who I am, Here's how I want people to
see me, even though not necessarily this is who I
(16:14):
really am. Nicholas, sure, but this is what this is
what I want. That part hasn't changed. Social media still
is who I want people to think. I am not.
But this is where it started. This is really where
it started. And then Facebook kind of took over. They
came out around the same time my Space, I think,
became more popular or quicker because at the time, if
(16:34):
you remember, Facebook was only allowed if you had a
college email address, y.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
And you could only see people in your college, which
was cool for that purpose, but yeah, not as this
was public.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Have you trust Have you tried? Have you tried for
research purposes to go back onto your MySpace page when
we found out I really can't figure out my passwords.
I tried, and if you look it up, it looks scary.
It looks like a different universe. I don't know what's
going on. I thought it evolved.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
It's they tried to make like make it into just
like a music platform or something. The keyword you said
there was they tried, right, whatever they tried failed.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
It's too bad because that was fun. I know, I know.
I want to somehow there is there is a way,
there's some app or something that you can actually go
back and look at a screenshot of websites and yeah,
the way back machine. I think that I've used it
for other stuff. I need to I need to get
a screenshot of whatever, like douchebag pose I'm making in
like in my picture and what and what my profile
(17:35):
says about me, because I'm guessing it's completely unprofessional. The
concept of professional was different in those days. Yeah, but
here we are very pressure. Oh I always all right,
thanks for hanging out. It is the Brady One More
Time Podcast. Let us know what your MySpace song was.
We're going to post this up on all the socials
