Welcome to Girl Bible, hosted bytwo women who aren't afraid to
dive into anything and everything.
This podcast is all about exploring life, laughing through
the chaos, and finding common ground with people from all
walks of life. No topic is off limits, no vibe
is too weird. Come hang out with us every week
for real talk, random tangents, and plenty of laughs.
(00:24):
We're back. It feels like it's been a minute
but I'm freaking hyped to be here and to see your face again.
I needed this, truly. Same.
We needed some face to FaceTime,truly.
Yeah, our listeners are probablya little bit confused because
they're like, wait, what? We just heard you guys last
(00:46):
week, but we're a little bit behind schedule this week, which
is OK. I think it's totally valid that
happens. It's life and.
And we're still getting it out on time, so I'm still going to
drop this on Monday. Yes I am.
I'm going to edit and drop it tonight.
Yeah. So it's just a little night time
(01:07):
up for you guys. But we have a fun one.
We wanted to do something fun just to capture our essence and
to also capture our generationalgap.
So. This episode.
Oh, go ahead. I just was going to say, I think
probably if you listen, you think Keisha and I are like
(01:28):
super on the same wave, which weare.
But sometimes when we have private conversations, it really
shows and it's really funny, like and definitely grow up in
the same time era, so. Exactly.
And we wanted to give our listeners a little glimpse of
that because that's what honestly makes us giggle and
(01:48):
laugh all the time. Yes.
Today I am going through all theMTV dating shows that I grew up
watching as a teenage girl, and I'm going to explain them to
Logan. She has probably never heard of
these before. And we're going to get her
(02:08):
honest, true, raw essence of a reaction to all these shows.
Because I'm convinced, and I've told my sister this before.
I'm like, if Gen. Z saw what we saw, they would
crash out because these shows are crazy.
The concept is insane. And I don't know, it wasn't, it
(02:29):
wasn't as scripted or like people weren't as camera ready
as they are now. You know what I mean?
In this digital aid, you watch reality TV, but people are ready
to be presented on TV. So they're they're thoughtful,
they're thinking about what they're going to say.
Like it's, it feels less candid,I will say, than what we were
(02:50):
watching. Yeah, and I think it's funny,
especially coming off like Love Island and like the dating shows
that I'm watching now. It's I think it's just going to
be a really funny perspective because that stuff is like super
scripted. And also a lot of people have
their opinions on it. So it'll be funny to see like
what was what walked so the dating shows now could run.
(03:14):
Yes, and I don't get me wrong, Istill gobble up the dating shows
now. Like don't this is no hay I'm
throwing no shade. I love all the shows like Love
Island. I haven't watched USA but UK
girlies I'm here for it. Bachelor in Paradise let's go.
Like I'm into all of it so don'tthink I'm throwing shade.
(03:37):
I'm just saying, I feel like nowthat everyone knows that you're
on the Internet forever, slash, this digital age is not going
anywhere. They're really conscious of what
they're saying and how they're behaving.
And these MTV shows were crazy 'cause I think they thought this
(03:58):
won't live on past this episode.That's so that's such a crazy
concept to think about. Like I know not having people
like hash it out like after the episode of releases like crazy.
OK, let's get into it. Let's get.
Into it. I'm gonna start with one of my
(04:19):
freaking favorites, OK? It's called Next.
Have you heard of it? Next.
Nope. Nope.
OK. Yes, OK.
Wait, wait, just a couple questions because I'm, I don't
know, I'm not good about like throwback things, like some
things I am. But like, this is just So what,
MTV was just putting out all these different kind of dating
(04:40):
shows or like, where did all of this stem from, I guess.
Yes. It was just like, I almost felt
like some of them were like young people too.
I don't know. I don't really have an age group
per SE because I was so young watching them.
I was like a teenager watching them and I'm going to stay.
They were probably late teens, early 20s.
(05:03):
Yeah. And I think they used to put
their like name and age on them.But just wait.
You'll have a better context as I explained the shows.
OK, so this first show is calledNext.
And the concept of Next is literally that let's it could be
a girl or a boy as the main person for the for the episode.
(05:24):
Let's just go with the boy for the explanation.
So the dater was a guy. OK, The next bus would come and
it would be filled with girls onthe bus.
OK? Yes, if you guys could see
Logan's face, this is one for YouTube for if you're not
watching this, go watch it on YouTube, OK?
(05:47):
The bus would pull up and it would have like, let's say 10
girls on the bus, OK? The first girl would get up and
she'd walk off the bus and she'slike, my name's Mandy and I'm
here to rock your world. Or like you had to have like a
funny little catch phrase as you're getting off the bus and
they do like a slow MO of you. And then you'd get off the bus.
(06:09):
And if at any point during the date, any point, including you
just stepping off the bus, the guy doesn't like what he sees in
front of him. He just shouts next.
You could be. In the middle Yeah show is
(06:30):
literally called is next. It's called next.
So you are on the date with the guy the first girl gets off the
bus, say he likes how she looks right, 'cause some people would
just straight up shout it the minute they got off the bus.
Like the minute they saw you offthe bus, they'd be like, next I
would be. So ruthless.
I would be like, he's like. She, she would be like, hey, my
(06:51):
name's Mandy and he might like her.
So they start the date. He's like today's date, we're
going to go play Frisbee or something.
And as they're playing. Wait, so then they start the
date? So like then the nine other
girls are just sitting on the bus.
Yes, the nine other girls sit onthe bus wondering what the heck
they're doing, wondering what the guy looks like, the whole 9
yards. And then they don't know what.
(07:12):
He looks like until they get offthe bus like.
Yes, yes. And they're just chatting with
each other. So they're like filming the girl
talk inside the bus that's happening while the dates going
on. And then if she does something
weird or that he doesn't like orshe says something and she's
like, oh, I'm really into kittens.
And he's like next girls who areinto cats whack and like would
(07:33):
just end the date right in the middle of the date.
She just has to stop the date, go back on the bus and the next
girl comes out. To go sit on the bus and wait.
And she would always come back and she's like, good luck girls,
he's a loser or something like. I was going to say, they'd have
to be like, he's not even that. Yes, like you couldn't handle me
(07:57):
at my worst and you can't have me at my best.
Like it would be something like a funny little catch phrase that
they would say Oh my gosh, loved.
It wait can the girls say next or only the guys can be like no.
Only the main person that's doing the dates can shout next.
If I ever got on the show, just because even if the like the guy
(08:20):
was cute, I would get on as likeone of the girls sitting on the
bus and I'll be like next and walk back.
On the bus, like, no I'm not. Doing this I'm not doing.
This and then sometimes the dates going so well with a girl
that they like travel to the next destination because the
date will keep continue on. So they might go out to lunch or
whatever and they're like the bus just travels with them the
(08:43):
whole time. It's the best.
It was great. Hilarious.
It was so fun to watch, it was captivating. 10 out of 10
recommend a rewatch of Next. Where can you even watch?
Like where can I even watch these?
I don't know, probably YouTube maybe would be my guess.
(09:06):
OK next show. Are you ready?
Here we go. Second show was called Date my
Mom. What the hell?
OK dating my mom dating my mom this was.
Called. Dating their moms.
No better Logan, they're literally dating.
(09:29):
The moms, the. Guy would go on a date with the
mom. OK, just the mom, not the girl.
He can't see the girl. He does not know what the girl
looks like. The mom cannot describe the
girl's looks. OK, He goes on a date with the
moms, Three different moms, OK. And they go on a date and the
(09:52):
mom's like, oh, my daughter Caroline is just such a gem.
Like she loves she's so busty orsomething like that.
Like the moms. She's so wait, I think I've seen
clips of this on TikTok I think.OK, yes, the moms would be
selling their daughters so hard on these dates, OK.
Are they like in a car and then they step out?
(10:13):
At the end, so then after the after the guy goes on the three
dates with the three moms, he first eliminates 2 moms.
He'll be like, sorry Cheryl, your daughter sounds crazy.
And then like the girls are waiting in a limo and Cheryl's
daughter will have to get out and he'll like, Dang, she looks
good. Like I messed up there or
(10:35):
something like that. Or he'll be like, thank goodness
I didn't go with Cheryl's kooky daughter or something like that.
And then he says. That he says that in front of
the contestants or it's like, no, it's like take him back.
Yeah, it's like, you know when they do those confessional type
vibes like later. So.
Then he'll eliminate the second girl.
(10:56):
And then when he picks the last mom, he'll be like, Ashley, your
daughter sounds great. I can't wait to meet her.
And then I he'll be like, I wantto date your daughter, Brittany.
And then outcomes Brittany. And then they like get his
reaction to this girl that he has, you know, it's either good
(11:17):
or bad. He doesn't know if he's going to
love it. Sometimes they love it.
They're like, I made the right choice.
And then sometimes like. It's crazy.
It's. Literally so funny.
Date my mom. Date my mom.
Date my mom sounds completely unhinged and OK.
(11:38):
Would you #1 ever go on date my mom?
Like, would you like when you were younger, would you have
been like, OK, yeah, I would. Have gone on all of these shows,
let's be clear. That would have been so I would
have gone on all of these shows and and you would have killed
everyone like people. You would have been like
everyone would have loved you and especially having Chris on
(12:01):
date, my mom would be so funny. I was just thinking on date my
mom. It would have been especially
funny because my mom, if you don't know her and you're
listening, she's like a tiny blonde haired 5 foot 3 nugget
and I'm obviously like a giant 5foot 8 black woman.
(12:23):
It's crazy, but. I mean for girls, the average
girl is not 5 foot 8. I'm taller than the average
girl. What's the average girl?
I think it's like 5-5. OK, well, yeah, but you're not a
giant. I wouldn't say but.
Yeah, you're tall, you know whatI mean?
I seem giant compared to my mom.Yes, well, everybody seems.
(12:47):
Giant and like if you're wearingI love you though.
Chris, love you so much. Yeah, if you're wearing high
heels, like you're going on a date, I'm really towering over
my mom. Like I would come out.
They'd be like, Dang, I wasn't expecting all this because, you
know, you're thinking that she'sgoing to be like the like the
mom. That's why it would be funny.
(13:09):
Would that it would it's the same one as like next.
It could be a guy or a girl and I like or is it?
I don't. I think that one was only boys
because it was date my mom and it was the early 2000s.
We weren't as forward progressive as we are in 2025.
So it was only boys going on a date with the moms.
(13:29):
Because I think that we should get a spin off going where it's
like date my mom, but it's like the other way around.
And it's like they, my dad, they're sons.
Oh. You know what I'm saying?
Because. If yeah, but that's not
accurate. Moms love their sons and they
have no clue as to what their son is like.
That's why it would be so unhinged and so funny.
(13:52):
It would be because girls would be picking these guys thinking
that they're actually like good humans.
No, they're not good. Humans, literally so their.
Mom just loves them. That would be funny.
Yeah. All these need to spin off.
Honestly, they all need to reboot a 20. 20 They all do need
to reboot. Oh my God.
People would gobble this stuff up.
(14:14):
Literally. OK, my.
Gosh, OK. I've got another one for you.
This one might blow your mind a little bit.
Actually I only have 4, my original 40.
OK, this one, Room Raiders, it'scalled Room Raiders.
(14:35):
OK, good. She's never heard of it.
So Room Raiders, it's gonna sound really insane as I
explained this. So just hang on, hang in there.
Feel free to ask questions. Room Raiders was a show where
they would film them. This is.
So crazy. They would film it and it almost
(14:55):
seemed like you were getting kidnapped, right?
So they would show like, let's just go with a girl for the for
this one. Let's give it.
Let's keep with the theme of theguy is the one the dater, OK?
They would film like a girl and she's in her room hanging out.
Next thing you know, bang on thedoor, he's like it's room
(15:18):
Raiders. And they would just come in,
take the girl, throw her in the back of a van.
What the? Hell.
What, Back to her? Yes, this is exactly what your
what your reaction is, is real. OK, They would take the girl,
throw her in the back of a van and then just drive off and go
(15:38):
scoop up two other girls. Same way they would go into a
room it's room Raiders and then like take her throw her in the
back of a van. So then all of a sudden there's
three girls in the back of the van.
They're like, Oh my gosh, hi. Hey, I'm I'm Kaylee.
I'm so and so. OK, then this is where the show
starts. The guy, the dater, and this one
(16:04):
went guy, girl. So sometimes those guys they
kidnapped in the back of the van, sometimes it's girls, just
depending on the dater. The guy would have like a tool
kit and he would go into the girl's room, no, and raid the
room. He got to look through anything
he wanted. They would he would look at her
(16:24):
pictures. Actually, I think they got rid
of pictures because you couldn'tpick based on their looks.
So any of the pictures, maybe the room writers, people like
took out anything personal of hers that showed her face or her
body maybe. And so all they had left was her
room. And he would go through and like
look at her style. He would like look at her
(16:45):
posters, look at what she's into, look and see if she had
like trophies or whatever, you know, that kind of tells what
she's into. And then like look in her night
stand and see what's vibing in there.
It'd be like, oh, look what I found.
Like it's crap. That's exactly what I thought
about was like dude like do theytake everything out or is it
(17:08):
just like. They can take out whatever they
want. They're like look.
I was gonna say. Up.
Surely you sign up to be on the show.
So surely you know, maybe that this is coming.
So like. Right, you would think.
But maybe you don't know exactlywhen they're coming.
I don't know. I don't know how much of it they
knew was happening. You had to have known because
they couldn't just show up. And what if you're not home?
(17:32):
Yeah. So anyways, look through your
stuff and maybe they would find something like your name on it.
He'd be like, oh, I like this name, It's cool.
This is a cool name. And then the guy would take out
his little tool kit and let's say they had like gloves in
there. He would like run the gloves and
be like, dust, dust is everywhere.
(17:53):
This girl's dirty. Or the craziest part was he'd
pull out a black light and like wave it over the bed.
What? Wait, no.
Stop Logan. What?
I am dead serious. And they if they saw us.
(18:13):
Sign up for this freaking show. What?
So what on the bed Keisha like anything if they saw like.
Anything on the bed to bed? Oh what?
Like this is crazy. What?
In the world, dude what? It was so crazy.
(18:34):
And then at the end, after he did that to all three rooms,
mind you, all three girls would be in the back of the van like
talking and chatting, like, no, it's not what you thought or
like, Oh my gosh, I can't believe we found that or
something like that. That's what.
I'm saying why are they playing it up when you literally signed
up? Like if I signed up for a show
(18:55):
like that, I would, I would havebought new sheets and like not
slept in my room or something, you know what I'm saying?
Like. It's.
Just so funny because then like,even if you're not dirty and
they like the producers do something and it looks crazy,
you're just like. So funny.
So he would go into all three rooms, then at the end the girls
(19:19):
would be standing there. He doesn't know who's who, so he
doesn't know which girl belongs to which room.
So he would slowly like eliminate girls or whatever, or
I can't remember if he just picked the one, but he'd be
like, I love that you're into softball and going outside.
So I'm going to choose so and sobecause I like Giroud I.
(19:44):
Love your impression of like theguy picking but also that is
crazy. What that's how you're going to
pick you're like whatever. So then after this, would they
follow the couples or they just would be?
Like no, at the end it's just the two of them.
Like I'm so excited that he chose me and like live my room.
(20:06):
And also I think this is especially funny because I feel
like rooms back then we're like much different vibes than they
are now. So it had to have been like
super like eclectic kind of vibes.
Especially I feel like if they're if they were younger,
it's like all your childhood things.
Like that's such a normal thing.Yes, and I think that.
(20:26):
Like era. At the time, it's like, yeah,
everybody's thing was so unique.So your room was literally your
room. You know what I mean?
You weren't trying. You didn't have social media,
you weren't, you know, you didn't see things from all over
the world, so you weren't like inspired Pinterest wasn't a
thing yet. So you're literally just going
(20:48):
off of your own vibes, which I think is cool.
Literally. Because nowadays everything's a
lot more vanilla. Yeah.
No, for sure. I think it's coming back, you
know? It definitely is coming back.
It's coming back. My room now is definitely kind
of plain, but like if you lookedclose in my room you'd be able
(21:09):
to like you'd see. That there's your personality.
Yeah, my. Personality for sure.
Mine, not so much. Right now.
It's very lame, but I want to bring it back.
I'm bringing it back all over the house.
I went sad beige mom, but we're not.
Hard, hard sad beige mom like I went.
(21:30):
Sad beige mom all over. Yeah, I think I needed to
because I was, I was like mentally overstimulated.
So I had to calm everything downto my surroundings.
But now that I'm in a good space, I'm like, let's we got to
get the dopamine back in this house.
We. Need some color.
And when you did, it was like very, it wasn't weird.
(21:51):
It wasn't weird by any means. It was like, yes, this looks
good. This is nice.
I just needed to be minimal, youknow, not too much going on.
OK, this last one's a banger forsure.
If you thought Room Raiders was weird, it's about to get.
(22:11):
Oh, OK, wait, pause. Sorry.
I Broom Raiders was funny and I just had something that I wanted
to share that's kind of similar.And I think it's so funny on
social media nowadays, people will like take pictures of their
sneaky links room, like take videos and stuff and just be
like, just want to know if anybody's seen this room before,
before I really lock in and likeit.
(22:32):
That kind of reminds me of it. And I think those are so funny.
I didn't know that's a thing. I love this.
Yes. And there's like accounts, I
think there's one at my university where like people can
send in pictures of like people that they've gotten with like
room and like the people will filter through and like, like
(22:53):
put together like. This is like Room Raider spy
edition. Spy.
No, Yeah. And I think most of the time
it's a joke, but I still think it's so funny.
Like even the concept of like, people being like, anybody,
anybody recognize this room? Like what?
What did you call them? Sneaky links.
(23:13):
Yes, or like your situation, ship.
Or sneaky links or what you calllike.
Hookups. OK.
I'm calling or a lot of. People sneaky link now he's he's
such a. Sneaky link or people will say
like my my fine shit or like like if you're really getting
(23:35):
into the TikTok brain rock, people say huss which is like
hose. Like, oh, I thought it was
husband. No, it's no, you'd think right?
No, it's like hose or like you can say Chuzz.
Which is chopped. Huss, which means you're an ugly
hoe. It's so dumb.
Oh my gosh. I refuse to say it say hello.
(23:58):
It's like. I'm active on TikTok y'all If
you are not following me on TikTok you are missing.
You need to. Follow.
Yeah, 'cause you. Could see anything over there.
'Cause it's really, it's really good.
A chuzz. There's no Chuzz on Keisha's
page. No, but I wanna watch and if
somebody comments that they're getting blocked, they're getting
hashtag blocked immediately. But yeah, that's just that was
(24:22):
something. Funny that that like reminded me
of. This show that's hysterical.
I love it. A sneaky.
Link very gently. Link very gently.
Very cool though very dimular. A sneaky.
Right, like very like it's so it's like, I don't know, what
would you, what would you say? Like when you were in college,
(24:43):
would you just say like my hookup or like what would you
like if you were talking to multiple guys?
No, I don't remember them havinga name.
We were just like, I think you just said we yeah, we're not.
We're not serious, but we just we like hook up occasionally.
(25:06):
OK. Would you guys like your
friends, your sorority sisters, if have we talked about you
being in a sorority on this podcast before?
I don't think so. I don't think so, but Keisha was
in a sorority and she's very proud of it, as she should be,
and it's something very cool. I am that she has a lot of fun.
(25:27):
Stories about but with your sorority sisters, would you give
guys like weird nicknames like pineapple or like?
Oh yeah, yes, yes, they had funny nicknames for sure like
that related to them, some random moment with them.
Like, you know, you'd be like, Oh my gosh, you're going out
(25:49):
with pizza guy like, but it has nothing to do with you know what
I mean? Or wait, so you're going to see
Red car again like. Red car.
Yeah, one of my teammates who's international, she was
explaining to one of my other teammates about this guy from
back home. Whatever the American teammate
(26:10):
couldn't say. My international's teammates
like situation ships name. And so like his nickname from
then on was Lemon because that'slike his name started with an L
and my team was like, oh, like Lemon, like let's just call
them. So like now everybody on our
team will just be like, oh, likehow's Lemon doing?
Like, yes, it's just really funny.
(26:32):
Yes, it was like that. Obviously the names I used are
not correct because I now have what's called Mom Brain so I
can't remember anything like I cannot accurately with detail
recall very much. Right.
But that's what it's like. It's it's something so small and
so. Little that like, yes, yeah,
(26:55):
yes, we definitely did that for sure.
Yeah, that's funny. That's so funny.
That's such a girl thing. I wonder if guys do it too.
No, they do, but they're like, oh, you're going out with
busted. Chuzz you're going out with?
Chuzz, yeah, like you're going out with jabroni.
(27:17):
What when this week when you go to Casper you need to be like so
aimsley what are the hus lookinglike these days?
Any chuzz around or what's the vibe like?
You need to say that to her and see how she reacts.
OK, I will. I want to see what she says if
she thinks I'm cool. She will.
She'll think it's cool. I'm cool.
(27:38):
She already thinks they're cool.No, they've seen my TikTok, they
saw me crying on the Internet. There's no way you come back
from that. They still think you're cool.
OK, you ready for this last one?It's my banger.
It's the best one. OK.
It's you saved the best for last.
I get any better than I just talked about.
(28:01):
No, this one's going to literally blow your freaking
mind. I'm.
I'm going for the whole shebang here.
OK? Are you ready?
The last and final MTV show frommy golden era.
Flash Keisha and her teenage years watching MTV.
(28:24):
It was called Parental Control. Oh my God, this already is.
Like, there's no way this could be good.
There's no way. It's so good.
OK, Parental Control was a show where parents signed their kid
(28:44):
up for the show because they hated the child's current
boyfriend or girlfriend. So yes, so the girl or boy, it
was girls and boys, it didn't matter.
Like sometimes the parents hatedthe girlfriend, sometimes the
(29:05):
parents hated the boyfriend, didn't matter.
So the parents would sign their child up for the show.
The mom got to pick one person for the kid to go on a date
with. Let's just go with it's a girl
this time, OK, The girl is the dater.
The mom got to pick one boy for her daughter to date and the dad
got to pick one boy for the daughter today.
(29:28):
Meanwhile, the ex has to sit on the couch with the parents and
watch dates. I mean, not the ex.
The current boyfriend has to sitwith the parents.
What watch Earth watch the girl go on two different dates with
the mom's boyfriend or with the mom's pick or with the dad's
(29:49):
pick? They would go on a fun date.
So they sat next to the parent. Yeah, the the current boyfriend
or girlfriend sat with the parents and they had to watch
the dates on TV and watch the girl go on these dates with
these other guys. Then at the end, the girl got to
(30:14):
decide if she wanted mom's pick,if she wanted dad's pick, if she
was going to stay with her current boyfriend.
What? The world Why would not
everybody just stay with their current boyfriend?
Like are they? Your parents literally hated
them. Imagine if Chad and Jennifer
(30:34):
hated your boyfriend. It's not, it's not casual.
It's not like, oh, he's annoying.
It's not like, oh, I wish you know, Logan was just single.
It's like, this dude is a piece of trash.
He's been destroying our daughter.
Like we have to help her get outof this type of scenario and the
boyfriend would be like like it was just crazy bro.
(30:55):
Or the girlfriend was like, he'snot going to leave me for one of
these ugly hoes or something like.
That ugly hoes. Literally Logan.
It was so unhinged, it was crazy.
No, that sounds crazy. And sometimes they would like.
Kiss on the date in. Front of the current Mm Hmm mm
(31:17):
hmm mm hmm girl. What?
And you'd get to watch like the current boyfriend's reaction and
stuff. Like it was so crazy.
That's funny. I don't know.
This is, this one's hard for me to put in perspective because
number one, I don't think I would bring home a boy that my
parents wouldn't like. Like there's just there's no
(31:37):
chance. Well, I did.
So I loved this. Like I'm already picky enough.
Like if I like, you know what I'm saying?
So yeah, but that's why Logan's different.
That's why you guys can't tell about our age difference because
she's so mature. No.
I'm not. Yes, you are.
(31:59):
But like you're saying, like youwouldn't ever waste your time
bringing home somebody that yourparents didn't like.
Well, some of us were regular Specula girls.
OK, Which is dating whoever cameup to us?
I'm not sure. This is a real thing.
It's really funny. It's really, really funny.
Can you even imagine 2025 version of this?
I no, at first I thought you were going to say like parents
(32:25):
sign their kids up for this showwho like they were nervous like
because they didn't have a boyfriend or girlfriend.
So like I thought it was going to be like a dating thing like.
That would be very 2025, right? Right, that, but that the the
current boyfriend's last girlfriend being there is so
(32:45):
funny. Isn't it so unhinged it made for
the best TV? Because sometimes the girl or
the boy would literally choose the new person and you would get
the joy of watching this happen on television.
Oh, if I was like if, if I would, if my significant others
(33:07):
parents did that, I would say no, we're done.
I'm breaking up with you. Bye.
I'm not, I'm not going on the show.
What so you can get your 22nd? It was 2000.
No, people didn't get famous on these shows.
You weren't getting famous. It was literally like.
But I feel like people still. Because it wasn't the digital
(33:29):
age, so there was no way to keepup with these random people from
like, Ohio, you know what I mean?
She was just like, that's the end.
The end now. Bye.
But still, I don't think. I mean, again, who knows,
because I wasn't around then, but I doubt that I would ever do
something like that. Like, yeah, let me go on this
(33:50):
show and watch, Watch you go on two other dates when your
parents hate me. Sit right next to him on the
couch. I.
Know that one's crazy. I know for sure.
Isn't that so good though? That's the.
TVI grew. Up on I I am going to searches
(34:11):
up on YouTube. And watch as you should.
You're going to laugh hysterically because there's
nothing else you can do besides shock and awe, which is what I
did in every episode. Oh my God.
And sometimes my parents would watch parental Control with me
and I know they were just givingme a look like you should be on.
(34:33):
So, OK, so wait, how old would you say you were roughly like
when you were watching these? I would say like 1615.
Oh, OK. So you very well could have
probably gone on the shows like if you had signed up.
Did you ever try to sign up? No, no, I didn't.
I wasn't going to sign myself upfor a dating show.
No, no, I probably, I think likethe people on Next were probably
(34:57):
like 21. So they, they, all the couples
honestly seemed a little bit older.
Even the the ones on parental control were like they were like
making out with their current boyfriend.
They're like, I love him. I don't know why my parents
don't like him. I was like.
There's a SO. Interesting.
Obvious reason as I'm watching this show right now.
(35:18):
Yeah, Oh my God, that's. So good.
Now, 2 horrible mentions I'd like to say that were not
necessarily I don't know how. Your favorites?
Yeah, Yeah, it's not. Anyways, it's like not The
Bachelor, but similar. We'll say it like that.
(35:40):
OK. You may have heard of this
flavor of love that was like theoriginal, no, original reality
TV dating show. And it was literally Flavor
Flav, the rapper Flavor Flav. And he was the one that people
(36:01):
were trying to win his heart. And I kid you not, the girls
would show up. And as they showed up, yeah,
apparently there's more than oneseason, which is even crazier.
But Flavor of Love, they would show up.
And as they'd walk in, you know,Flavor Flav would give them a
(36:22):
completely new name. No, wait, No, no, no, wait.
So you wouldn't be. You wouldn't be Logan.
Like, if you came up, you're like, hey, Flay, my name's
Logan. I play basketball at the
University of Wyoming. He'd be like, you're a baller,
babe. That would be your name for the
entire season. Wait.
(36:43):
No, there's OK. This is so funny because there's
something so similar to this now.
Have you? Do you know who Drewski is?
No. OK, after this I'm going to make
you look up Drewski. He had a YouTube dating show
called Could Have been Love and he did this.
(37:04):
Well, the first thing that reminded me of it is like when
people pulled up on a bus. So a bunch of these girls pulled
up on a bus and got out and he gave them all a nickname.
So funny. One of the girls nicknames was
Meatball. Also because this particular
guy, this particular guy for some reason likes like studs,
(37:25):
girls who like are a little bit more like they present more
masculine than they're. Integrals, studs.
Studs. And genuinely called her
meatball. Another girl, my personal
favorite was Bambi and Oh my God, this you OK?
(37:48):
If you like all these MTV shows,you need to watch this on
YouTube. It's so funny.
I do Gen. Z.
It's so dense, so funny. It's the Gen.
Z Flavor Flav. Right, yes.
And it's like especially funny because so most of these girls,
they're studs, so most of them are into girls.
And that just brings a whole nother level of like confusion
(38:10):
and what's going on. And also the winner gets money.
So it's like some of the girls are there to like flirt with the
other girls. Some of them are there to win
the money. Some of them are like just kind
of straight in there for Drewski.
It's so funny. It's so funny.
(38:32):
I, I really liked it and I, I would watch it again.
I thought it was hilarious. Hilarious it is.
Right. OK, sorry.
Keep going. No, that's all he would say.
And like Pumpkin and New York got into it heavy and pumpkin
literally spit on New York's face one episode.
(38:54):
She like. In the.
Face and it became this iconic moment in television history
because New York was obviously, rightfully so, about to go ham
on pumpkin. They had to, like, intervene and
stop the fight because New York was like, are you crazy?
(39:15):
Yeah, no, yeah. And New York got her own spin
off show and it was. I love New York, I'm pretty
sure. Did it just follow her or what?
Then she did basically like the same thing as Flavor Flav.
It was like boys came, she gave them a name.
She's like you're Boston cuz you're from Boston.
(39:39):
Dude. Dude, it was funny.
It was a crazy time for these shows for sure.
Yeah, yeah, in in the best way possible.
And that's. Did you have did you have one
more honorable mention? I was going to say Tila tequila
because I don't know if you remember Tila Tequila or if
(40:00):
you've ever heard of Tila Tequila.
It sounds familiar, but I have no idea what it's about.
It was like Tila Tequila was bisexual, so that was her niche.
That was like what made her showunique, so both boys and girls
showed up for her show and you didn't know what she was going
(40:25):
to pick. I think I did see this on TikTok
and didn't they show up and theydidn't realize that Like wasn't
that her coming out thing or is this it could be something
different I thought I saw something on.
No, I feel like she was on a different or the people that
went on the show knew she was bisexual, so they showed up
(40:49):
specifically for her because shekind of had like a little famous
moment before she got her show. So everyone knew who she was.
They knew who they they knew Tila Tequila.
Oh my God. And she was like a really cute
little thing, so. No Interesting.
Dude, Wait, I feel like I saw some.
(41:10):
Yeah, she had a famous moment before.
All of the shows, I never got too much tequila, Tequila 'cause
I wasn't as advanced back then. I was like maybe a little too
young. I felt in my own heart.
I was like, I don't know if I'm ready for this, but I did
remember it coming on. I was like.
(41:32):
Little Keisha Bangling. I'm gonna pass on this one.
The parenthesis trolls kind of like, yeah, let's do it, baby.
Maybe I was hoping my parents would put me on parental
control. Do you think your boyfriend?
Which did end up happening, yes.He would have wait, what do you
(41:58):
mean it did end up happening? Like your parents were just like
I. We hate your voice.
No, at the end of the day, I feel like, you know, my dad and
dad, I feel like there was some parental control there.
Yes, because we did talk about that, how your parents, my dad's
pick was your dad's pick. I'm glad.
(42:19):
That good choice, Dan. Yeah, Yeah.
You should always listen to yourdad.
They know what they're talking about.
Yeah, I'm sure Chad has a great guy in mind for you.
There's. No way.
There's no way. Just kidding, but it could be.
You never know. I always thought there's no way
either and you never know. Anyways, that would.
(42:42):
That's a wrap on MTV dating shows from the 2000s.
Loved Logan's reactions. They were so just priceless.
This is what keeps our bond strong.
This was such a good episode, I feel like I would have had no
idea about these shows or anything.

We're back. It feels like it's been a minute
but I'm freaking hyped to be here and to see your face again.
I needed this, truly. Same.
We needed some face to FaceTime,truly.
Yeah, our listeners are probablya little bit confused because
they're like, wait, what? We just heard you guys last
(00:46):
week, but we're a little bit behind schedule this week, which
is OK. I think it's totally valid that
happens. It's life and.
And we're still getting it out on time, so I'm still going to
drop this on Monday. Yes I am.
I'm going to edit and drop it tonight.
Yeah. So it's just a little night time
(01:07):
up for you guys. But we have a fun one.
We wanted to do something fun just to capture our essence and
to also capture our generationalgap.
So. This episode.
Oh, go ahead. I just was going to say, I think
probably if you listen, you think Keisha and I are like
(01:28):
super on the same wave, which weare.
But sometimes when we have private conversations, it really
shows and it's really funny, like and definitely grow up in
the same time era, so. Exactly.
And we wanted to give our listeners a little glimpse of
that because that's what honestly makes us giggle and
(01:48):
laugh all the time. Yes.
Today I am going through all theMTV dating shows that I grew up
watching as a teenage girl, and I'm going to explain them to
Logan. She has probably never heard of
these before. And we're going to get her
(02:08):
honest, true, raw essence of a reaction to all these shows.
Because I'm convinced, and I've told my sister this before.
I'm like, if Gen. Z saw what we saw, they would
crash out because these shows are crazy.
The concept is insane. And I don't know, it wasn't, it
(02:29):
wasn't as scripted or like people weren't as camera ready
as they are now. You know what I mean?
In this digital aid, you watch reality TV, but people are ready
to be presented on TV. So they're they're thoughtful,
they're thinking about what they're going to say.
Like it's, it feels less candid,I will say, than what we were
(02:50):
watching. Yeah, and I think it's funny,
especially coming off like Love Island and like the dating shows
that I'm watching now. It's I think it's just going to
be a really funny perspective because that stuff is like super
scripted. And also a lot of people have
their opinions on it. So it'll be funny to see like
what was what walked so the dating shows now could run.
(03:14):
Yes, and I don't get me wrong, Istill gobble up the dating shows
now. Like don't this is no hay I'm
throwing no shade. I love all the shows like Love
Island. I haven't watched USA but UK
girlies I'm here for it. Bachelor in Paradise let's go.
Like I'm into all of it so don'tthink I'm throwing shade.
(03:37):
I'm just saying, I feel like nowthat everyone knows that you're
on the Internet forever, slash, this digital age is not going
anywhere. They're really conscious of what
they're saying and how they're behaving.
And these MTV shows were crazy 'cause I think they thought this
(03:58):
won't live on past this episode.That's so that's such a crazy
concept to think about. Like I know not having people
like hash it out like after the episode of releases like crazy.
OK, let's get into it. Let's get.
Into it. I'm gonna start with one of my
(04:19):
freaking favorites, OK? It's called Next.
Have you heard of it? Next.
Nope. Nope.
OK. Yes, OK.
Wait, wait, just a couple questions because I'm, I don't
know, I'm not good about like throwback things, like some
things I am. But like, this is just So what,
MTV was just putting out all these different kind of dating
(04:40):
shows or like, where did all of this stem from, I guess.
Yes. It was just like, I almost felt
like some of them were like young people too.
I don't know. I don't really have an age group
per SE because I was so young watching them.
I was like a teenager watching them and I'm going to stay.
They were probably late teens, early 20s.
(05:03):
Yeah. And I think they used to put
their like name and age on them.But just wait.
You'll have a better context as I explained the shows.
OK, so this first show is calledNext.
And the concept of Next is literally that let's it could be
a girl or a boy as the main person for the for the episode.
(05:24):
Let's just go with the boy for the explanation.
So the dater was a guy. OK, The next bus would come and
it would be filled with girls onthe bus.
OK? Yes, if you guys could see
Logan's face, this is one for YouTube for if you're not
watching this, go watch it on YouTube, OK?
(05:47):
The bus would pull up and it would have like, let's say 10
girls on the bus, OK? The first girl would get up and
she'd walk off the bus and she'slike, my name's Mandy and I'm
here to rock your world. Or like you had to have like a
funny little catch phrase as you're getting off the bus and
they do like a slow MO of you. And then you'd get off the bus.
(06:09):
And if at any point during the date, any point, including you
just stepping off the bus, the guy doesn't like what he sees in
front of him. He just shouts next.
You could be. In the middle Yeah show is
(06:30):
literally called is next. It's called next.
So you are on the date with the guy the first girl gets off the
bus, say he likes how she looks right, 'cause some people would
just straight up shout it the minute they got off the bus.
Like the minute they saw you offthe bus, they'd be like, next I
would be. So ruthless.
I would be like, he's like. She, she would be like, hey, my
(06:51):
name's Mandy and he might like her.
So they start the date. He's like today's date, we're
going to go play Frisbee or something.
And as they're playing. Wait, so then they start the
date? So like then the nine other
girls are just sitting on the bus.
Yes, the nine other girls sit onthe bus wondering what the heck
they're doing, wondering what the guy looks like, the whole 9
yards. And then they don't know what.
(07:12):
He looks like until they get offthe bus like.
Yes, yes. And they're just chatting with
each other. So they're like filming the girl
talk inside the bus that's happening while the dates going
on. And then if she does something
weird or that he doesn't like orshe says something and she's
like, oh, I'm really into kittens.
And he's like next girls who areinto cats whack and like would
(07:33):
just end the date right in the middle of the date.
She just has to stop the date, go back on the bus and the next
girl comes out. To go sit on the bus and wait.
And she would always come back and she's like, good luck girls,
he's a loser or something like. I was going to say, they'd have
to be like, he's not even that. Yes, like you couldn't handle me
(07:57):
at my worst and you can't have me at my best.
Like it would be something like a funny little catch phrase that
they would say Oh my gosh, loved.
It wait can the girls say next or only the guys can be like no.
Only the main person that's doing the dates can shout next.
If I ever got on the show, just because even if the like the guy
(08:20):
was cute, I would get on as likeone of the girls sitting on the
bus and I'll be like next and walk back.
On the bus, like, no I'm not. Doing this I'm not doing.
This and then sometimes the dates going so well with a girl
that they like travel to the next destination because the
date will keep continue on. So they might go out to lunch or
whatever and they're like the bus just travels with them the
(08:43):
whole time. It's the best.
It was great. Hilarious.
It was so fun to watch, it was captivating. 10 out of 10
recommend a rewatch of Next. Where can you even watch?
Like where can I even watch these?
I don't know, probably YouTube maybe would be my guess.
(09:06):
OK next show. Are you ready?
Here we go. Second show was called Date my
Mom. What the hell?
OK dating my mom dating my mom this was.
Called. Dating their moms.
No better Logan, they're literally dating.
(09:29):
The moms, the. Guy would go on a date with the
mom. OK, just the mom, not the girl.
He can't see the girl. He does not know what the girl
looks like. The mom cannot describe the
girl's looks. OK, He goes on a date with the
moms, Three different moms, OK. And they go on a date and the
(09:52):
mom's like, oh, my daughter Caroline is just such a gem.
Like she loves she's so busty orsomething like that.
Like the moms. She's so wait, I think I've seen
clips of this on TikTok I think.OK, yes, the moms would be
selling their daughters so hard on these dates, OK.
Are they like in a car and then they step out?
(10:13):
At the end, so then after the after the guy goes on the three
dates with the three moms, he first eliminates 2 moms.
He'll be like, sorry Cheryl, your daughter sounds crazy.
And then like the girls are waiting in a limo and Cheryl's
daughter will have to get out and he'll like, Dang, she looks
good. Like I messed up there or
(10:35):
something like that. Or he'll be like, thank goodness
I didn't go with Cheryl's kooky daughter or something like that.
And then he says. That he says that in front of
the contestants or it's like, no, it's like take him back.
Yeah, it's like, you know when they do those confessional type
vibes like later. So.
Then he'll eliminate the second girl.
(10:56):
And then when he picks the last mom, he'll be like, Ashley, your
daughter sounds great. I can't wait to meet her.
And then I he'll be like, I wantto date your daughter, Brittany.
And then outcomes Brittany. And then they like get his
reaction to this girl that he has, you know, it's either good
(11:17):
or bad. He doesn't know if he's going to
love it. Sometimes they love it.
They're like, I made the right choice.
And then sometimes like. It's crazy.
It's. Literally so funny.
Date my mom. Date my mom.
Date my mom sounds completely unhinged and OK.
(11:38):
Would you #1 ever go on date my mom?
Like, would you like when you were younger, would you have
been like, OK, yeah, I would. Have gone on all of these shows,
let's be clear. That would have been so I would
have gone on all of these shows and and you would have killed
everyone like people. You would have been like
everyone would have loved you and especially having Chris on
(12:01):
date, my mom would be so funny. I was just thinking on date my
mom. It would have been especially
funny because my mom, if you don't know her and you're
listening, she's like a tiny blonde haired 5 foot 3 nugget
and I'm obviously like a giant 5foot 8 black woman.
(12:23):
It's crazy, but. I mean for girls, the average
girl is not 5 foot 8. I'm taller than the average
girl. What's the average girl?
I think it's like 5-5. OK, well, yeah, but you're not a
giant. I wouldn't say but.
Yeah, you're tall, you know whatI mean?
I seem giant compared to my mom.Yes, well, everybody seems.
(12:47):
Giant and like if you're wearingI love you though.
Chris, love you so much. Yeah, if you're wearing high
heels, like you're going on a date, I'm really towering over
my mom. Like I would come out.
They'd be like, Dang, I wasn't expecting all this because, you
know, you're thinking that she'sgoing to be like the like the
mom. That's why it would be funny.
(13:09):
Would that it would it's the same one as like next.
It could be a guy or a girl and I like or is it?
I don't. I think that one was only boys
because it was date my mom and it was the early 2000s.
We weren't as forward progressive as we are in 2025.
So it was only boys going on a date with the moms.
(13:29):
Because I think that we should get a spin off going where it's
like date my mom, but it's like the other way around.
And it's like they, my dad, they're sons.
Oh. You know what I'm saying?
Because. If yeah, but that's not
accurate. Moms love their sons and they
have no clue as to what their son is like.
That's why it would be so unhinged and so funny.
(13:52):
It would be because girls would be picking these guys thinking
that they're actually like good humans.
No, they're not good. Humans, literally so their.
Mom just loves them. That would be funny.
Yeah. All these need to spin off.
Honestly, they all need to reboot a 20. 20 They all do need
to reboot. Oh my God.
People would gobble this stuff up.
(14:14):
Literally. OK, my.
Gosh, OK. I've got another one for you.
This one might blow your mind a little bit.
Actually I only have 4, my original 40.
OK, this one, Room Raiders, it'scalled Room Raiders.
(14:35):
OK, good. She's never heard of it.
So Room Raiders, it's gonna sound really insane as I
explained this. So just hang on, hang in there.
Feel free to ask questions. Room Raiders was a show where
they would film them. This is.
So crazy. They would film it and it almost
(14:55):
seemed like you were getting kidnapped, right?
So they would show like, let's just go with a girl for the for
this one. Let's give it.
Let's keep with the theme of theguy is the one the dater, OK?
They would film like a girl and she's in her room hanging out.
Next thing you know, bang on thedoor, he's like it's room
(15:18):
Raiders. And they would just come in,
take the girl, throw her in the back of a van.
What the? Hell.
What, Back to her? Yes, this is exactly what your
what your reaction is, is real. OK, They would take the girl,
throw her in the back of a van and then just drive off and go
(15:38):
scoop up two other girls. Same way they would go into a
room it's room Raiders and then like take her throw her in the
back of a van. So then all of a sudden there's
three girls in the back of the van.
They're like, Oh my gosh, hi. Hey, I'm I'm Kaylee.
I'm so and so. OK, then this is where the show
starts. The guy, the dater, and this one
(16:04):
went guy, girl. So sometimes those guys they
kidnapped in the back of the van, sometimes it's girls, just
depending on the dater. The guy would have like a tool
kit and he would go into the girl's room, no, and raid the
room. He got to look through anything
he wanted. They would he would look at her
(16:24):
pictures. Actually, I think they got rid
of pictures because you couldn'tpick based on their looks.
So any of the pictures, maybe the room writers, people like
took out anything personal of hers that showed her face or her
body maybe. And so all they had left was her
room. And he would go through and like
look at her style. He would like look at her
(16:45):
posters, look at what she's into, look and see if she had
like trophies or whatever, you know, that kind of tells what
she's into. And then like look in her night
stand and see what's vibing in there.
It'd be like, oh, look what I found.
Like it's crap. That's exactly what I thought
about was like dude like do theytake everything out or is it
(17:08):
just like. They can take out whatever they
want. They're like look.
I was gonna say. Up.
Surely you sign up to be on the show.
So surely you know, maybe that this is coming.
So like. Right, you would think.
But maybe you don't know exactlywhen they're coming.
I don't know. I don't know how much of it they
knew was happening. You had to have known because
they couldn't just show up. And what if you're not home?
(17:32):
Yeah. So anyways, look through your
stuff and maybe they would find something like your name on it.
He'd be like, oh, I like this name, It's cool.
This is a cool name. And then the guy would take out
his little tool kit and let's say they had like gloves in
there. He would like run the gloves and
be like, dust, dust is everywhere.
(17:53):
This girl's dirty. Or the craziest part was he'd
pull out a black light and like wave it over the bed.
What? Wait, no.
Stop Logan. What?
I am dead serious. And they if they saw us.
(18:13):
Sign up for this freaking show. What?
So what on the bed Keisha like anything if they saw like.
Anything on the bed to bed? Oh what?
Like this is crazy. What?
In the world, dude what? It was so crazy.
(18:34):
And then at the end, after he did that to all three rooms,
mind you, all three girls would be in the back of the van like
talking and chatting, like, no, it's not what you thought or
like, Oh my gosh, I can't believe we found that or
something like that. That's what.
I'm saying why are they playing it up when you literally signed
up? Like if I signed up for a show
(18:55):
like that, I would, I would havebought new sheets and like not
slept in my room or something, you know what I'm saying?
Like. It's.
Just so funny because then like,even if you're not dirty and
they like the producers do something and it looks crazy,
you're just like. So funny.
So he would go into all three rooms, then at the end the girls
(19:19):
would be standing there. He doesn't know who's who, so he
doesn't know which girl belongs to which room.
So he would slowly like eliminate girls or whatever, or
I can't remember if he just picked the one, but he'd be
like, I love that you're into softball and going outside.
So I'm going to choose so and sobecause I like Giroud I.
(19:44):
Love your impression of like theguy picking but also that is
crazy. What that's how you're going to
pick you're like whatever. So then after this, would they
follow the couples or they just would be?
Like no, at the end it's just the two of them.
Like I'm so excited that he chose me and like live my room.
(20:06):
And also I think this is especially funny because I feel
like rooms back then we're like much different vibes than they
are now. So it had to have been like
super like eclectic kind of vibes.
Especially I feel like if they're if they were younger,
it's like all your childhood things.
Like that's such a normal thing.Yes, and I think that.
(20:26):
Like era. At the time, it's like, yeah,
everybody's thing was so unique.So your room was literally your
room. You know what I mean?
You weren't trying. You didn't have social media,
you weren't, you know, you didn't see things from all over
the world, so you weren't like inspired Pinterest wasn't a
thing yet. So you're literally just going
(20:48):
off of your own vibes, which I think is cool.
Literally. Because nowadays everything's a
lot more vanilla. Yeah.
No, for sure. I think it's coming back, you
know? It definitely is coming back.
It's coming back. My room now is definitely kind
of plain, but like if you lookedclose in my room you'd be able
(21:09):
to like you'd see. That there's your personality.
Yeah, my. Personality for sure.
Mine, not so much. Right now.
It's very lame, but I want to bring it back.
I'm bringing it back all over the house.
I went sad beige mom, but we're not.
Hard, hard sad beige mom like I went.
(21:30):
Sad beige mom all over. Yeah, I think I needed to
because I was, I was like mentally overstimulated.
So I had to calm everything downto my surroundings.
But now that I'm in a good space, I'm like, let's we got to
get the dopamine back in this house.
We. Need some color.
And when you did, it was like very, it wasn't weird.
(21:51):
It wasn't weird by any means. It was like, yes, this looks
good. This is nice.
I just needed to be minimal, youknow, not too much going on.
OK, this last one's a banger forsure.
If you thought Room Raiders was weird, it's about to get.
(22:11):
Oh, OK, wait, pause. Sorry.
I Broom Raiders was funny and I just had something that I wanted
to share that's kind of similar.And I think it's so funny on
social media nowadays, people will like take pictures of their
sneaky links room, like take videos and stuff and just be
like, just want to know if anybody's seen this room before,
before I really lock in and likeit.
(22:32):
That kind of reminds me of it. And I think those are so funny.
I didn't know that's a thing. I love this.
Yes. And there's like accounts, I
think there's one at my university where like people can
send in pictures of like people that they've gotten with like
room and like the people will filter through and like, like
(22:53):
put together like. This is like Room Raider spy
edition. Spy.
No, Yeah. And I think most of the time
it's a joke, but I still think it's so funny.
Like even the concept of like, people being like, anybody,
anybody recognize this room? Like what?
What did you call them? Sneaky links.
(23:13):
Yes, or like your situation, ship.
Or sneaky links or what you calllike.
Hookups. OK.
I'm calling or a lot of. People sneaky link now he's he's
such a. Sneaky link or people will say
like my my fine shit or like like if you're really getting
(23:35):
into the TikTok brain rock, people say huss which is like
hose. Like, oh, I thought it was
husband. No, it's no, you'd think right?
No, it's like hose or like you can say Chuzz.
Which is chopped. Huss, which means you're an ugly
hoe. It's so dumb.
Oh my gosh. I refuse to say it say hello.
(23:58):
It's like. I'm active on TikTok y'all If
you are not following me on TikTok you are missing.
You need to. Follow.
Yeah, 'cause you. Could see anything over there.
'Cause it's really, it's really good.
A chuzz. There's no Chuzz on Keisha's
page. No, but I wanna watch and if
somebody comments that they're getting blocked, they're getting
hashtag blocked immediately. But yeah, that's just that was
(24:22):
something. Funny that that like reminded me
of. This show that's hysterical.
I love it. A sneaky.
Link very gently. Link very gently.
Very cool though very dimular. A sneaky.
Right, like very like it's so it's like, I don't know, what
would you, what would you say? Like when you were in college,
(24:43):
would you just say like my hookup or like what would you
like if you were talking to multiple guys?
No, I don't remember them havinga name.
We were just like, I think you just said we yeah, we're not.
We're not serious, but we just we like hook up occasionally.
(25:06):
OK. Would you guys like your
friends, your sorority sisters, if have we talked about you
being in a sorority on this podcast before?
I don't think so. I don't think so, but Keisha was
in a sorority and she's very proud of it, as she should be,
and it's something very cool. I am that she has a lot of fun.
(25:27):
Stories about but with your sorority sisters, would you give
guys like weird nicknames like pineapple or like?
Oh yeah, yes, yes, they had funny nicknames for sure like
that related to them, some random moment with them.
Like, you know, you'd be like, Oh my gosh, you're going out
(25:49):
with pizza guy like, but it has nothing to do with you know what
I mean? Or wait, so you're going to see
Red car again like. Red car.
Yeah, one of my teammates who's international, she was
explaining to one of my other teammates about this guy from
back home. Whatever the American teammate
(26:10):
couldn't say. My international's teammates
like situation ships name. And so like his nickname from
then on was Lemon because that'slike his name started with an L
and my team was like, oh, like Lemon, like let's just call
them. So like now everybody on our
team will just be like, oh, likehow's Lemon doing?
Like, yes, it's just really funny.
(26:32):
Yes, it was like that. Obviously the names I used are
not correct because I now have what's called Mom Brain so I
can't remember anything like I cannot accurately with detail
recall very much. Right.
But that's what it's like. It's it's something so small and
so. Little that like, yes, yeah,
(26:55):
yes, we definitely did that for sure.
Yeah, that's funny. That's so funny.
That's such a girl thing. I wonder if guys do it too.
No, they do, but they're like, oh, you're going out with
busted. Chuzz you're going out with?
Chuzz, yeah, like you're going out with jabroni.
(27:17):
What when this week when you go to Casper you need to be like so
aimsley what are the hus lookinglike these days?
Any chuzz around or what's the vibe like?
You need to say that to her and see how she reacts.
OK, I will. I want to see what she says if
she thinks I'm cool. She will.
She'll think it's cool. I'm cool.
(27:38):
She already thinks they're cool.No, they've seen my TikTok, they
saw me crying on the Internet. There's no way you come back
from that. They still think you're cool.
OK, you ready for this last one?It's my banger.
It's the best one. OK.
It's you saved the best for last.
I get any better than I just talked about.
(28:01):
No, this one's going to literally blow your freaking
mind. I'm.
I'm going for the whole shebang here.
OK? Are you ready?
The last and final MTV show frommy golden era.
Flash Keisha and her teenage years watching MTV.
(28:24):
It was called Parental Control. Oh my God, this already is.
Like, there's no way this could be good.
There's no way. It's so good.
OK, Parental Control was a show where parents signed their kid
(28:44):
up for the show because they hated the child's current
boyfriend or girlfriend. So yes, so the girl or boy, it
was girls and boys, it didn't matter.
Like sometimes the parents hatedthe girlfriend, sometimes the
(29:05):
parents hated the boyfriend, didn't matter.
So the parents would sign their child up for the show.
The mom got to pick one person for the kid to go on a date
with. Let's just go with it's a girl
this time, OK, The girl is the dater.
The mom got to pick one boy for her daughter to date and the dad
got to pick one boy for the daughter today.
(29:28):
Meanwhile, the ex has to sit on the couch with the parents and
watch dates. I mean, not the ex.
The current boyfriend has to sitwith the parents.
What watch Earth watch the girl go on two different dates with
the mom's boyfriend or with the mom's pick or with the dad's
(29:49):
pick? They would go on a fun date.
So they sat next to the parent. Yeah, the the current boyfriend
or girlfriend sat with the parents and they had to watch
the dates on TV and watch the girl go on these dates with
these other guys. Then at the end, the girl got to
(30:14):
decide if she wanted mom's pick,if she wanted dad's pick, if she
was going to stay with her current boyfriend.
What? The world Why would not
everybody just stay with their current boyfriend?
Like are they? Your parents literally hated
them. Imagine if Chad and Jennifer
(30:34):
hated your boyfriend. It's not, it's not casual.
It's not like, oh, he's annoying.
It's not like, oh, I wish you know, Logan was just single.
It's like, this dude is a piece of trash.
He's been destroying our daughter.
Like we have to help her get outof this type of scenario and the
boyfriend would be like like it was just crazy bro.
(30:55):
Or the girlfriend was like, he'snot going to leave me for one of
these ugly hoes or something like.
That ugly hoes. Literally Logan.
It was so unhinged, it was crazy.
No, that sounds crazy. And sometimes they would like.
Kiss on the date in. Front of the current Mm Hmm mm
(31:17):
hmm mm hmm girl. What?
And you'd get to watch like the current boyfriend's reaction and
stuff. Like it was so crazy.
That's funny. I don't know.
This is, this one's hard for me to put in perspective because
number one, I don't think I would bring home a boy that my
parents wouldn't like. Like there's just there's no
(31:37):
chance. Well, I did.
So I loved this. Like I'm already picky enough.
Like if I like, you know what I'm saying?
So yeah, but that's why Logan's different.
That's why you guys can't tell about our age difference because
she's so mature. No.
I'm not. Yes, you are.
(31:59):
But like you're saying, like youwouldn't ever waste your time
bringing home somebody that yourparents didn't like.
Well, some of us were regular Specula girls.
OK, Which is dating whoever cameup to us?
I'm not sure. This is a real thing.
It's really funny. It's really, really funny.
Can you even imagine 2025 version of this?
I no, at first I thought you were going to say like parents
(32:25):
sign their kids up for this showwho like they were nervous like
because they didn't have a boyfriend or girlfriend.
So like I thought it was going to be like a dating thing like.
That would be very 2025, right? Right, that, but that the the
current boyfriend's last girlfriend being there is so
(32:45):
funny. Isn't it so unhinged it made for
the best TV? Because sometimes the girl or
the boy would literally choose the new person and you would get
the joy of watching this happen on television.
Oh, if I was like if, if I would, if my significant others
(33:07):
parents did that, I would say no, we're done.
I'm breaking up with you. Bye.
I'm not, I'm not going on the show.
What so you can get your 22nd? It was 2000.
No, people didn't get famous on these shows.
You weren't getting famous. It was literally like.
But I feel like people still. Because it wasn't the digital
(33:29):
age, so there was no way to keepup with these random people from
like, Ohio, you know what I mean?
She was just like, that's the end.
The end now. Bye.
But still, I don't think. I mean, again, who knows,
because I wasn't around then, but I doubt that I would ever do
something like that. Like, yeah, let me go on this
(33:50):
show and watch, Watch you go on two other dates when your
parents hate me. Sit right next to him on the
couch. I.
Know that one's crazy. I know for sure.
Isn't that so good though? That's the.
TVI grew. Up on I I am going to searches
(34:11):
up on YouTube. And watch as you should.
You're going to laugh hysterically because there's
nothing else you can do besides shock and awe, which is what I
did in every episode. Oh my God.
And sometimes my parents would watch parental Control with me
and I know they were just givingme a look like you should be on.
(34:33):
So, OK, so wait, how old would you say you were roughly like
when you were watching these? I would say like 1615.
Oh, OK. So you very well could have
probably gone on the shows like if you had signed up.
Did you ever try to sign up? No, no, I didn't.
I wasn't going to sign myself upfor a dating show.
No, no, I probably, I think likethe people on Next were probably
(34:57):
like 21. So they, they, all the couples
honestly seemed a little bit older.
Even the the ones on parental control were like they were like
making out with their current boyfriend.
They're like, I love him. I don't know why my parents
don't like him. I was like.
There's a SO. Interesting.
Obvious reason as I'm watching this show right now.
(35:18):
Yeah, Oh my God, that's. So good.
Now, 2 horrible mentions I'd like to say that were not
necessarily I don't know how. Your favorites?
Yeah, Yeah, it's not. Anyways, it's like not The
Bachelor, but similar. We'll say it like that.
(35:40):
OK. You may have heard of this
flavor of love that was like theoriginal, no, original reality
TV dating show. And it was literally Flavor
Flav, the rapper Flavor Flav. And he was the one that people
(36:01):
were trying to win his heart. And I kid you not, the girls
would show up. And as they showed up, yeah,
apparently there's more than oneseason, which is even crazier.
But Flavor of Love, they would show up.
And as they'd walk in, you know,Flavor Flav would give them a
(36:22):
completely new name. No, wait, No, no, no, wait.
So you wouldn't be. You wouldn't be Logan.
Like, if you came up, you're like, hey, Flay, my name's
Logan. I play basketball at the
University of Wyoming. He'd be like, you're a baller,
babe. That would be your name for the
entire season. Wait.
(36:43):
No, there's OK. This is so funny because there's
something so similar to this now.
Have you? Do you know who Drewski is?
No. OK, after this I'm going to make
you look up Drewski. He had a YouTube dating show
called Could Have been Love and he did this.
(37:04):
Well, the first thing that reminded me of it is like when
people pulled up on a bus. So a bunch of these girls pulled
up on a bus and got out and he gave them all a nickname.
So funny. One of the girls nicknames was
Meatball. Also because this particular
guy, this particular guy for some reason likes like studs,
(37:25):
girls who like are a little bit more like they present more
masculine than they're. Integrals, studs.
Studs. And genuinely called her
meatball. Another girl, my personal
favorite was Bambi and Oh my God, this you OK?
(37:48):
If you like all these MTV shows,you need to watch this on
YouTube. It's so funny.
I do Gen. Z.
It's so dense, so funny. It's the Gen.
Z Flavor Flav. Right, yes.
And it's like especially funny because so most of these girls,
they're studs, so most of them are into girls.
And that just brings a whole nother level of like confusion
(38:10):
and what's going on. And also the winner gets money.
So it's like some of the girls are there to like flirt with the
other girls. Some of them are there to win
the money. Some of them are like just kind
of straight in there for Drewski.
It's so funny. It's so funny.
(38:32):
I, I really liked it and I, I would watch it again.
I thought it was hilarious. Hilarious it is.
Right. OK, sorry.
Keep going. No, that's all he would say.
And like Pumpkin and New York got into it heavy and pumpkin
literally spit on New York's face one episode.
(38:54):
She like. In the.
Face and it became this iconic moment in television history
because New York was obviously, rightfully so, about to go ham
on pumpkin. They had to, like, intervene and
stop the fight because New York was like, are you crazy?
(39:15):
Yeah, no, yeah. And New York got her own spin
off show and it was. I love New York, I'm pretty
sure. Did it just follow her or what?
Then she did basically like the same thing as Flavor Flav.
It was like boys came, she gave them a name.
She's like you're Boston cuz you're from Boston.
(39:39):
Dude. Dude, it was funny.
It was a crazy time for these shows for sure.
Yeah, yeah, in in the best way possible.
And that's. Did you have did you have one
more honorable mention? I was going to say Tila tequila
because I don't know if you remember Tila Tequila or if
(40:00):
you've ever heard of Tila Tequila.
It sounds familiar, but I have no idea what it's about.
It was like Tila Tequila was bisexual, so that was her niche.
That was like what made her showunique, so both boys and girls
showed up for her show and you didn't know what she was going
(40:25):
to pick. I think I did see this on TikTok
and didn't they show up and theydidn't realize that Like wasn't
that her coming out thing or is this it could be something
different I thought I saw something on.
No, I feel like she was on a different or the people that
went on the show knew she was bisexual, so they showed up
(40:49):
specifically for her because shekind of had like a little famous
moment before she got her show. So everyone knew who she was.
They knew who they they knew Tila Tequila.
Oh my God. And she was like a really cute
little thing, so. No Interesting.
Dude, Wait, I feel like I saw some.
(41:10):
Yeah, she had a famous moment before.
All of the shows, I never got too much tequila, Tequila 'cause
I wasn't as advanced back then. I was like maybe a little too
young. I felt in my own heart.
I was like, I don't know if I'm ready for this, but I did
remember it coming on. I was like.
(41:32):
Little Keisha Bangling. I'm gonna pass on this one.
The parenthesis trolls kind of like, yeah, let's do it, baby.
Maybe I was hoping my parents would put me on parental
control. Do you think your boyfriend?
Which did end up happening, yes.He would have wait, what do you
(41:58):
mean it did end up happening? Like your parents were just like
I. We hate your voice.
No, at the end of the day, I feel like, you know, my dad and
dad, I feel like there was some parental control there.
Yes, because we did talk about that, how your parents, my dad's
pick was your dad's pick. I'm glad.
(42:19):
That good choice, Dan. Yeah, Yeah.
You should always listen to yourdad.
They know what they're talking about.
Yeah, I'm sure Chad has a great guy in mind for you.
There's. No way.
There's no way. Just kidding, but it could be.
You never know. I always thought there's no way
either and you never know. Anyways, that would.
(42:42):
That's a wrap on MTV dating shows from the 2000s.
Loved Logan's reactions. They were so just priceless.
This is what keeps our bond strong.
This was such a good episode, I feel like I would have had no
idea about these shows or anything.
