WEBVTT

00:00.000 --> 00:06.480
Daily source code, 126-2005.

00:06.480 --> 00:08.040
Like, you know, does Adam Curry

00:08.040 --> 00:11.320
cup his hand to his ass fart and
then smell it?

00:11.320 --> 00:15.520
Adam, the listeners of the Daily
Download want to know.

00:15.520 --> 00:18.320
Autistic, it's Adam Curry.

00:18.320 --> 00:21.400
It is Thursday, January 27th.

00:21.400 --> 00:24.160
The power of the door, the door,
the door.

00:24.160 --> 00:25.720
Everybody, how you doing?

00:25.720 --> 00:28.120
Is Adam Curry coming to you from
Curry Cottage

00:28.120 --> 00:31.240
in the affluent Surrey Subber?

00:31.240 --> 00:34.440
Sorry, Surrey Subber called
Gilford.

00:34.440 --> 00:36.600
It's almost 10am.

00:36.600 --> 00:39.080
It is Thursday, January 27th.

00:39.080 --> 00:40.880
It's 2005.

00:44.880 --> 00:47.520
I was just a little snippet from
the Daily Download.

00:47.520 --> 00:49.320
The answer, of course, is yes.

00:49.320 --> 00:51.320
Of course, I'd love to be on
your show.

00:51.320 --> 00:57.320
I cannot imagine anything higher
in life for me than you.

00:58.200 --> 01:00.040
Sitting in my bathroom studio,

01:00.040 --> 01:01.680
Skyping to your bathroom studio.

01:01.680 --> 01:03.960
I mean, that would be fantastic.

01:03.960 --> 01:05.880
All right, today's source code,
as promised,

01:05.880 --> 01:07.400
a little bit different today.

01:07.400 --> 01:10.040
We're not going to do a sound
scene tour.

01:10.040 --> 01:12.440
You know, we try to vary the
format from time to time.

01:12.440 --> 01:17.480
Today is just going to be a
conversation with Ken Clark.

01:17.480 --> 01:18.280
I told you about him.

01:18.280 --> 01:20.160
He worked at MTV for 20 years.

01:23.160 --> 01:27.720
Now, I've worked with Ken for at
least 15 of those 20 years.

01:27.800 --> 01:29.240
Maybe even a little bit more.

01:29.240 --> 01:31.880
He's, we have a state mogul
right now

01:31.880 --> 01:33.880
of in Portland, Oregon.

01:33.880 --> 01:38.840
And we decided that we would
just shoot the shit a little bit

01:38.840 --> 01:40.360
about the old MTV days.

01:40.360 --> 01:43.400
Actually, it started with the
Carson Daily song

01:43.400 --> 01:47.480
that I played the other day,
where we wanted to figure out

01:47.480 --> 01:50.520
where all the MTV VJs have gone.

01:50.520 --> 01:54.040
It turns out there are actually
37 different VJs

01:54.040 --> 01:57.240
that can us work within the past
20 years.

01:57.240 --> 01:58.920
A lot of this conversation, I
got actually

01:58.920 --> 02:00.920
let Patricia listen to it
yesterday.

02:00.920 --> 02:03.320
Some of it's a bit inside.

02:03.320 --> 02:04.600
But let me know what you think
about it.

02:04.600 --> 02:05.880
We should continue because, of
course,

02:05.880 --> 02:07.800
we only got like eight of the 37
people.

02:07.800 --> 02:09.560
So if you think it's worth
continuing,

02:09.560 --> 02:11.880
let me know at curry.com.

02:11.880 --> 02:13.080
Enjoy this.

02:13.080 --> 02:22.360
On the Skype call now is someone
who literally lived in my house

02:22.360 --> 02:27.160
more than I did for a number of
years.

02:27.160 --> 02:31.160
Who, who nannied me when
necessary.

02:34.200 --> 02:39.880
And is one of the unsung heroes
of the breakthrough of MTV.

02:40.840 --> 02:43.800
My friend and colleague, and
this thing was gentleman

02:43.800 --> 02:45.960
from somewhere with the West
Coast, where the fuck is it?

02:45.960 --> 02:46.520
Portland.

02:46.520 --> 02:47.480
That's Portland.

02:47.480 --> 02:48.760
Portland, Oregon.

02:48.760 --> 02:50.920
Canster J, Ken Clark.

02:50.920 --> 02:52.280
Welcome everybody.

02:52.280 --> 02:53.960
Yeah, I'm here everybody.

02:53.960 --> 02:56.680
So I actually have Skype
recording for the first time.

02:56.840 --> 02:59.560
Maybe it's the good karma you're
bringing me.

02:59.560 --> 03:01.240
Well, we'll see how it goes.

03:01.240 --> 03:03.720
Immediately it started skipping.

03:03.720 --> 03:07.240
Of course, of course.

03:07.240 --> 03:09.000
Okay, Ken.

03:09.000 --> 03:10.120
Let me set this up.

03:10.120 --> 03:11.240
Let me set this up.

03:11.240 --> 03:12.360
In our bad weeks with Skype.

03:12.360 --> 03:14.760
Yeah, this is going pretty good
so far.

03:14.760 --> 03:16.600
Let me set this up.

03:16.600 --> 03:22.360
I met you in 1987, Halloween
around Halloween of 1987.

03:22.360 --> 03:28.680
When I arrived on Ellis Island
from from the Nether regions,

03:28.680 --> 03:32.360
the lowlands and with my
girlfriend, with my girlfriend,

03:32.360 --> 03:35.000
she wasn't even my fiance then.

03:35.000 --> 03:38.440
She's my girlfriend Patricia.

03:38.440 --> 03:41.480
And that's when I started at
MTV.

03:41.480 --> 03:43.240
And what was your title at the
time, Ken?

03:43.240 --> 03:45.400
Was it, what was the official
title?

03:45.400 --> 03:45.880
It started.

03:45.880 --> 03:49.000
I was probably VJ coordinator.

03:49.640 --> 03:52.760
I'm going to crank your level up
a little bit here.

03:52.760 --> 03:54.360
VJ coordinator.

03:54.360 --> 03:56.520
That's a sucky title.

03:56.520 --> 04:00.600
Well, later I, it was, uh, I got
promoted to manager of on air
talent.

04:00.600 --> 04:03.720
Did you get a, did you get a pay
raise with that?

04:03.720 --> 04:04.520
A little bit.

04:04.520 --> 04:07.240
MTV was never famous for paying
well though.

04:07.240 --> 04:08.760
I actually told everyone the
other day.

04:08.760 --> 04:09.560
Yeah.

04:09.560 --> 04:11.160
Yeah, I heard you talking about
it.

04:11.160 --> 04:12.120
You did okay.

04:12.120 --> 04:15.960
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I heard you
talking about it.

04:15.960 --> 04:17.960
You did better than me, too.

04:17.960 --> 04:23.960
The very first VJ started for
like 4550,000 bucks back in
1981.

04:23.960 --> 04:24.760
1981.

04:24.760 --> 04:26.120
August 1st, 1981.

04:26.120 --> 04:29.960
Yeah, and by the time you guys
came around, everybody, you
know,

04:29.960 --> 04:33.960
was pretty staggered that it had
gone way over $100,000.

04:33.960 --> 04:34.760
Yeah.

04:34.760 --> 04:37.400
But I think I made the most of
all the, uh,

04:37.400 --> 04:38.520
I made more than Julie Brown.

04:38.520 --> 04:40.360
Tell me I did.

04:40.360 --> 04:41.960
I think you probably did in the
end.

04:41.960 --> 04:42.360
Yeah.

04:42.360 --> 04:45.720
You guys both ended up with kind
of weird deals.

04:45.720 --> 04:47.720
You were only doing certain
shows, certain things.

04:47.720 --> 04:48.760
I mean, I had no show.

04:48.760 --> 04:49.960
I got fucking fired.

04:49.960 --> 04:51.720
We, I got fired 25 times.

04:51.720 --> 04:53.720
Well, yeah, but I mean,

04:53.720 --> 04:55.720
we did go back after a while and

04:55.720 --> 04:56.720
I feel like a week.

04:56.720 --> 04:59.720
I didn't do them like the top 20
countdown once a week.

04:59.720 --> 05:01.720
Because they couldn't find
anyone to do it.

05:01.720 --> 05:03.720
Well, yeah.

05:03.720 --> 05:05.720
They still haven't apparently.

05:05.720 --> 05:07.720
But you already work out for one
then, right?

05:07.720 --> 05:08.720
You already working for me.

05:08.720 --> 05:09.720
So what happened is Ken?

05:09.720 --> 05:10.720
Yeah, that point.

05:10.720 --> 05:11.720
Yes.

05:11.720 --> 05:12.720
When did you start?

05:12.720 --> 05:14.720
This is, we're never going to be
able to fit this in 45 minutes.

05:14.720 --> 05:16.720
When did you start at MTV?

05:16.720 --> 05:18.720
Because it must have been a
couple years before I got there.

05:18.720 --> 05:24.720
I started at MTV on New Year's
Eve, 1984, 85.

05:24.720 --> 05:26.720
I flew into New York like the
day after Christmas.

05:26.720 --> 05:28.720
I was supposed to start in
January.

05:28.720 --> 05:31.720
They called me up on New Year's
Eve day and said,

05:31.720 --> 05:32.720
We're short staff.

05:32.720 --> 05:33.720
Come down here.

05:33.720 --> 05:35.720
We're doing our live New Year's
Eve ball.

05:35.720 --> 05:38.720
That was 1984 and 1985 New
Year's Eve.

05:38.720 --> 05:40.720
Goddamn.

05:40.720 --> 05:41.720
Wow.

05:41.720 --> 05:43.720
And so that was with the
original guys.

05:43.720 --> 05:44.720
Oh, yeah.

05:44.720 --> 05:46.720
Everyone thinks I'm one of the
original VJs.

05:46.720 --> 05:48.720
And I keep telling him, well,
you were around two.

05:48.720 --> 05:49.720
Yeah.

05:49.720 --> 05:52.720
But that was when MTV really
exploded into 40 million
households.

05:52.720 --> 05:53.720
Yeah.

05:53.720 --> 05:54.720
Yeah.

05:54.720 --> 05:55.720
Definitely.

05:55.720 --> 05:56.720
You guys were there for that.

05:56.720 --> 05:57.720
The first group.

05:57.720 --> 05:58.720
But you know, Martha stayed on.

05:58.720 --> 05:59.720
I think longer than anybody
else.

05:59.720 --> 06:03.720
But the majority of everybody
else were gone within the first
five years.

06:03.720 --> 06:04.720
And it was.

06:04.720 --> 06:10.720
Off to a lustreous careers
elsewhere between Channel 66 and
68 UHF.

06:10.720 --> 06:11.720
Well, it's interesting.

06:12.720 --> 06:15.720
I made a couple of years ago,
MTV few years ago.

06:15.720 --> 06:18.720
Actually, MTV brought me back a
couple of times to do those.

06:18.720 --> 06:20.720
I was an MTV VJ specialist.

06:20.720 --> 06:21.720
I know you came back to.

06:21.720 --> 06:22.720
It was one of them.

06:22.720 --> 06:23.720
Yeah, one.

06:23.720 --> 06:24.720
Yeah.

06:24.720 --> 06:25.720
What was that?

06:25.720 --> 06:26.720
It was was it some anniversary.

06:26.720 --> 06:28.720
It was an MTV VJ two.

06:28.720 --> 06:30.720
And you were at on ramp at the
time.

06:30.720 --> 06:31.720
And I was already here in
Oregon.

06:31.720 --> 06:32.720
I flew back to do it.

06:32.720 --> 06:37.720
But for that show, I had
prepared a list of everybody
that I could think of.

06:37.720 --> 06:40.720
That I had worked with as a VJ
over the.

06:40.720 --> 06:41.720
I was 10 years that I was there.

06:41.720 --> 06:43.720
So I come prepared at least with
a list of people.

06:43.720 --> 06:44.720
Because there's names on this
list.

06:44.720 --> 06:45.720
I don't even remember.

06:45.720 --> 06:48.720
I remember like who the hell was
Tricksie.

06:48.720 --> 06:49.720
Tricksie.

06:49.720 --> 06:50.720
I remember Tricksie.

06:50.720 --> 06:51.720
Sure.

06:51.720 --> 06:52.720
Andrew Dado.

06:52.720 --> 06:53.720
There's another one for you.

06:53.720 --> 06:54.720
He's on the list.

06:54.720 --> 06:55.720
I've got him on the list.

06:55.720 --> 06:56.720
Ah.

06:56.720 --> 06:57.720
You know.

06:57.720 --> 06:58.720
I'm sorry.

06:58.720 --> 06:59.720
Wendy Westbrook.

06:59.720 --> 07:00.720
Oh, she was cute.

07:00.720 --> 07:01.720
Wasn't she in like a kind of a.

07:01.720 --> 07:02.720
I don't know.

07:02.720 --> 07:03.720
She was.

07:03.720 --> 07:04.720
She was.

07:04.720 --> 07:05.720
Yeah.

07:05.720 --> 07:06.720
No, no.

07:06.720 --> 07:07.720
She was.

07:07.720 --> 07:08.720
She was.

07:08.720 --> 07:09.720
She was someone.

07:10.720 --> 07:11.720
It's Wendy Westbrook.

07:11.720 --> 07:12.720
Everybody.

07:12.720 --> 07:13.720
I do it.

07:13.720 --> 07:14.720
Yes.

07:14.720 --> 07:15.720
She was a radio chick.

07:15.720 --> 07:16.720
That's why yes.

07:16.720 --> 07:17.720
Like kind of a Tom Boyer's
thing.

07:17.720 --> 07:18.720
Yeah.

07:18.720 --> 07:19.720
Radio chicks are kind of Tom
Boyer's.

07:19.720 --> 07:20.720
Yeah.

07:20.720 --> 07:21.720
Well, there's a long list of
names here.

07:21.720 --> 07:24.720
And the post MTV successes you
pointed out.

07:24.720 --> 07:27.720
The other day has been pretty
disastrous.

07:27.720 --> 07:30.720
Well, it's so hard.

07:30.720 --> 07:35.720
You know, it's like, you know
that once you've been an MTV VJ,
you basically can't

07:35.720 --> 07:37.720
be anything else but that.

07:37.720 --> 07:38.720
It's certainly not in show
business.

07:38.720 --> 07:42.720
I don't think I got what I got
on the swamp thing.

07:42.720 --> 07:44.720
I had a pretty successful radio
career.

07:44.720 --> 07:45.720
But that was.

07:45.720 --> 07:47.720
The thing I hate about still
have that somewhere.

07:47.720 --> 07:48.720
God, the swamp thing.

07:48.720 --> 07:49.720
I'm sure I have the video.

07:49.720 --> 07:50.720
It's a great episode.

07:50.720 --> 07:54.720
Christina could watch it for the
longest time because it actually
scared her.

07:54.720 --> 07:55.720
It scared her.

07:55.720 --> 07:56.720
Yes.

07:56.720 --> 07:57.720
She thought it was very crap.

07:57.720 --> 07:58.720
It was funny crap.

07:58.720 --> 07:59.720
But it was crap.

07:59.720 --> 08:00.720
Awesome.

08:00.720 --> 08:01.720
I was.

08:01.720 --> 08:02.720
I was good.

08:02.720 --> 08:03.720
I was good.

08:03.720 --> 08:05.720
I was good.

08:05.720 --> 08:07.720
Like washed up rock star.

08:07.720 --> 08:08.720
Uh-huh.

08:08.720 --> 08:12.720
Talk about your type casting.

08:12.720 --> 08:17.720
But yeah, I mean, you know,
there have been some people like
Daisy.

08:17.720 --> 08:20.720
You know, he said, she had a lot
of success.

08:20.720 --> 08:23.720
Certainly after she hooked up
modeling.

08:23.720 --> 08:25.720
What's his name?

08:25.720 --> 08:27.720
Miguel Luis Miguel or whatever.

08:27.720 --> 08:29.720
Yeah, but she was already doing
it.

08:29.720 --> 08:31.720
I think she was a ravlon girl.

08:31.720 --> 08:34.720
I've always, always, always love
Daisy.

08:35.720 --> 08:36.720
I did too.

08:36.720 --> 08:38.720
She was a really, really cool
chick.

08:38.720 --> 08:39.720
Yeah.

08:39.720 --> 08:40.720
And she was gorgeous.

08:40.720 --> 08:41.720
Yeah.

08:41.720 --> 08:42.720
And she let me feel her.

08:42.720 --> 08:43.720
Yeah.

08:43.720 --> 08:49.720
We had Nina Allen, Mark J.J. and
Martha were the original five
MTV VJs.

08:49.720 --> 08:54.720
Martha has retired and is got
two kids and lives in Malibu
with her husband.

08:54.720 --> 08:55.720
Really?

08:55.720 --> 08:56.720
Really?

08:56.720 --> 08:59.720
And commercial soundtracks and
Martha really doesn't have a big
desire to work.

08:59.720 --> 09:01.720
She's really happy being a mom.

09:01.720 --> 09:02.720
Would she live in the cage?

09:02.720 --> 09:04.720
Well, we were not to fast, not
to fast.

09:04.720 --> 09:05.720
Okay.

09:05.720 --> 09:06.720
Does she live in the colony?

09:06.720 --> 09:07.720
Of Malibu?

09:07.720 --> 09:08.720
Of Malibu?

09:08.720 --> 09:09.720
In the colony?

09:09.720 --> 09:10.720
Yeah.

09:10.720 --> 09:11.720
I don't know exactly.

09:11.720 --> 09:14.720
They just moved to Malibu from
the Hollywood Hills this last
summer.

09:14.720 --> 09:15.720
Hmm.

09:15.720 --> 09:16.720
Okay.

09:16.720 --> 09:17.720
How old are kids?

09:17.720 --> 09:20.720
So kids are like eight nine from
like that?

09:20.720 --> 09:21.720
Oh, God.

09:21.720 --> 09:24.720
You know, I just don't know with
Martha and the kids at this zoo.

09:24.720 --> 09:27.720
No, her youngest is like three
or four.

09:27.720 --> 09:28.720
Probably three-ish.

09:28.720 --> 09:31.720
And then the older is six,
seven.

09:32.720 --> 09:34.720
For extra points, what are their
names?

09:34.720 --> 09:37.720
Maizee and Dylan.

09:37.720 --> 09:38.720
Oh, okay.

09:38.720 --> 09:39.720
Cool.

09:39.720 --> 09:41.720
And we're talking out at the
Central Park Zoo.

09:41.720 --> 09:43.720
And our husband's nice, school.

09:43.720 --> 09:44.720
Yeah.

09:44.720 --> 09:51.720
Jordan Tarlo used to be the
guitarist for a band called The
Fuzz Tones, which were an early
120-minute

09:51.720 --> 09:52.720
MTV band.

09:52.720 --> 09:53.720
Oh.

09:53.720 --> 09:54.720
Yeah.

09:54.720 --> 09:59.720
They met, you know, it was funny
because everybody thought Nina
was the party girl.

09:59.720 --> 10:02.720
And Martha was the girl next
door when, in fact, Nina was
born.

10:02.720 --> 10:04.720
And it was the home body.

10:04.720 --> 10:05.720
Yeah.

10:05.720 --> 10:08.720
And Martha was going out with
stiff baders from large of the
new church.

10:08.720 --> 10:09.720
Oh, that's right.

10:09.720 --> 10:10.720
What was this?

10:10.720 --> 10:11.720
What was the song?

10:11.720 --> 10:12.720
Stuff in Martha's muffin.

10:12.720 --> 10:13.720
What was that?

10:13.720 --> 10:14.720
Stuff in Martha's muffin.

10:14.720 --> 10:15.720
I can't remember who did that.

10:15.720 --> 10:16.720
It was.

10:16.720 --> 10:17.720
Fuck.

10:17.720 --> 10:20.720
Wasn't that from the Georgia's
not Georgia satellites?

10:20.720 --> 10:21.720
When it was me.

10:21.720 --> 10:22.720
It'll come to me when Roger.

10:22.720 --> 10:24.720
George Thurgood or something
like that?

10:24.720 --> 10:25.720
I don't know.

10:25.720 --> 10:27.720
Brittany Spears.

10:27.720 --> 10:28.720
Abba.

10:28.720 --> 10:31.720
So that's Martha.

10:31.720 --> 10:38.720
But of the remaining four Nina
Mark and JJ all ended up going
back into radio.

10:38.720 --> 10:41.720
You know, Nina spent a couple
years on entertainment tonight.

10:41.720 --> 10:42.720
And I think she did solve it.

10:42.720 --> 10:43.720
Wait a minute.

10:43.720 --> 10:44.720
Wait a minute.

10:44.720 --> 10:45.720
Didn't.

10:45.720 --> 10:46.720
Was it with Martha one second?

10:46.720 --> 10:48.720
Didn't she do a nagsima
commercial?

10:48.720 --> 10:49.720
Yeah.

10:49.720 --> 10:50.720
That was she did.

10:50.720 --> 10:53.720
She did a few commercials after
she left.

10:53.720 --> 10:55.720
Did she ever do like time life?

10:55.720 --> 10:56.720
Time life things.

10:56.720 --> 10:58.720
Collections CDs.

10:58.720 --> 10:59.720
She may have.

10:59.720 --> 11:03.720
I know Mark Goodman and Ellen
and Ellen Hunter both did
because I remember sitting up
late party

11:03.720 --> 11:05.720
and at like two in the morning
and watching my my buddies.

11:05.720 --> 11:08.720
Fuck time like time life
products.

11:20.720 --> 11:21.720
I never did.

11:21.720 --> 11:22.720
I never did.

11:22.720 --> 11:25.720
I placed paid the extra money so
I could fly first class.

11:25.720 --> 11:27.720
I just thought, you know, I did
certain places.

11:27.720 --> 11:29.720
I, you know, if you're a
celebrity, you just have to.

11:29.720 --> 11:30.720
I can't find it.

11:30.720 --> 11:31.720
I can't find it.

11:31.720 --> 11:34.720
Well, there was a day when MTV
flew all of their talent first
class.

11:34.720 --> 11:37.720
And, you know, that was before
they got cheated.

11:37.720 --> 11:42.720
It was corporate and they ruined
it.

11:42.720 --> 11:43.720
It was so much.

11:43.720 --> 11:44.720
There were stupid rules.

11:44.720 --> 11:47.720
You know, like if the flight is
less than three hours it has to.

11:47.720 --> 11:48.720
I remember that.

11:48.720 --> 11:49.720
Oh, yeah.

11:49.720 --> 11:50.720
And here was the caveat.

11:50.720 --> 11:51.720
And less.

11:51.720 --> 11:53.720
There's another VJ on the plane.

11:53.720 --> 11:55.720
Who is entitled to first class?

11:55.720 --> 11:56.720
It's that point.

11:56.720 --> 11:59.720
I was to bump the person in
coach up to first class.

11:59.720 --> 12:00.720
So anyone.

12:00.720 --> 12:01.720
Everyone wanted to fly away.

12:01.720 --> 12:09.720
No, they take you aside and they
say, now you just don't ever put
a VJ in coach on the same plane
with somebody in first and we
don't ever have to go there.

12:09.720 --> 12:10.720
So yeah, exactly.

12:10.720 --> 12:15.720
Certain people got to fly with
their makeup artists and, you
know, did their makeup artists
fly from them.

12:15.720 --> 12:16.720
Julie Brown.

12:16.720 --> 12:22.720
And you know, I love Julie, but
I spent a great deal of time
negotiating crap over who flew.

12:22.720 --> 12:23.720
Where?

12:23.720 --> 12:24.720
Oh, my.

12:24.720 --> 12:25.720
I remember that.

12:25.720 --> 12:26.720
I remember the angst.

12:26.720 --> 12:28.720
I remember seeing it on your
face.

12:28.720 --> 12:30.720
It was just ridiculous.

12:30.720 --> 12:32.720
You know, I was just like, get
on the plane.

12:32.720 --> 12:33.720
You know, you got to show.

12:33.720 --> 12:35.720
I take it on the plane.

12:35.720 --> 12:37.720
Wait, you're going way too fast.

12:37.720 --> 12:40.720
I mean, listen, we got to talk
about Ted Demi.

12:40.720 --> 12:43.720
We got to talk about Rick
Kalman.

12:43.720 --> 12:45.720
I mean, we can't just talk about
the VJs.

12:45.720 --> 12:47.720
I mean, there's a lot of people.

12:47.720 --> 12:50.720
I guess I was following up on
your point.

12:51.720 --> 12:54.720
The track record for VJs has
been made.

12:54.720 --> 12:55.720
That's right.

12:55.720 --> 12:56.720
Let's go.

12:56.720 --> 13:00.720
Let's say when say there is
certain people like Nina Allen.

13:00.720 --> 13:01.720
Well, JJ died.

13:01.720 --> 13:04.720
Nina Mark and JJ all got into
radio.

13:04.720 --> 13:05.720
JJ unfortunately.

13:05.720 --> 13:08.720
Yes, passed away last March.

13:08.720 --> 13:16.720
But the original for a VJ is now
three minus JJ and Martha, who's
retired are doing a serious

13:21.720 --> 13:30.720
video network best of the eight.

13:30.720 --> 13:33.720
Are on on one satellite channel?

13:33.720 --> 13:34.720
Yes.

13:34.720 --> 13:36.720
Interesting.

13:36.720 --> 13:39.720
And so it's like 80 all
eighties.

13:39.720 --> 13:40.720
Yeah.

13:40.720 --> 13:41.720
I keep getting those offers.

13:41.720 --> 13:43.720
I get offers like that all the
time.

13:43.720 --> 13:45.720
People want me to, you know,
host eighties.

13:45.720 --> 13:47.720
Everything from eighties, sock
hops.

13:48.720 --> 13:52.720
Well, I tell you they, you know,
they pay what they pay really
well.

13:52.720 --> 13:54.720
Allen I've been talking to.

13:54.720 --> 13:55.720
Allen's the whole other story.

13:55.720 --> 13:56.720
That's interesting.

13:56.720 --> 13:59.720
He owns a film company.

13:59.720 --> 14:01.720
I remember because I hooked up
with him with that.

14:01.720 --> 14:03.720
I was an MTV VJ too.

14:03.720 --> 14:05.720
And he was telling me about it.

14:05.720 --> 14:07.720
It seemed like he was into some
pretty interesting shit.

14:07.720 --> 14:08.720
Oh, Allen's rock.

14:08.720 --> 14:12.720
And he's got a hell of a place
set up down in Birmingham,
Alabama.

14:12.720 --> 14:14.720
How about that's where he was
from.

14:14.720 --> 14:16.720
And, you know, Allen's doing
really good.

14:16.720 --> 14:18.720
But he said, you know, he sits
down once a week.

14:18.720 --> 14:20.720
And he does the segments there
and his computer.

14:20.720 --> 14:24.720
And they get, you know, voice
over IP, off the serious.

14:24.720 --> 14:26.720
And, you know, that's it.

14:26.720 --> 14:27.720
Done boom.

14:27.720 --> 14:28.720
That's a thanks man hour.

14:28.720 --> 14:29.720
Right.

14:29.720 --> 14:30.720
Jack's Berlin.

14:30.720 --> 14:32.720
Cool.

14:32.720 --> 14:36.720
So that's pretty much it for
that group.

14:36.720 --> 14:37.720
And then there was.

14:37.720 --> 14:40.720
But do they identify themselves
as a high?

14:40.720 --> 14:42.720
I'm not a good man.

14:42.720 --> 14:43.720
I'm sorry.

14:43.720 --> 14:44.720
Allen Hunter.

14:44.720 --> 14:45.720
I doubt it.

14:46.720 --> 14:47.720
I'm out on Hunter.

14:47.720 --> 14:48.720
And I used to be on MTV.

14:48.720 --> 14:50.720
Can they say that they were on
MTV?

14:50.720 --> 14:51.720
Do they do that?

14:51.720 --> 14:52.720
And not show?

14:52.720 --> 14:53.720
Because, you know, that was a
big problem.

14:53.720 --> 14:54.720
They probably do.

14:54.720 --> 14:55.720
They must.

14:55.720 --> 14:56.720
But you remember when you do
100.

14:56.720 --> 14:59.720
Do you remember how pissed off
everybody was coming?

14:59.720 --> 15:00.720
I'm sorry.

15:00.720 --> 15:01.720
I'm sorry.

15:01.720 --> 15:02.720
You're my guest.

15:02.720 --> 15:03.720
Please go ahead.

15:03.720 --> 15:05.720
Well, I stepped on you.

15:05.720 --> 15:08.720
All I was going to say is if you
go to serious.com and look it
up.

15:08.720 --> 15:09.720
It's like best of the 80s.

15:09.720 --> 15:13.720
And it completely identifies
them as the original MTV VJs.

15:13.720 --> 15:14.720
Okay.

15:15.720 --> 15:18.720
Now, do you remember how much
shit I got from MTV?

15:18.720 --> 15:23.720
Because I would be identified as
Adam Curry from MTV on the
radio.

15:23.720 --> 15:24.720
Yeah.

15:24.720 --> 15:29.720
But at one point it got
negotiated that you were allowed
to mention your TV guy.

15:29.720 --> 15:30.720
I think.

15:30.720 --> 15:31.720
Oh, that's right.

15:31.720 --> 15:33.720
I was on the on TV.

15:33.720 --> 15:34.720
Yeah.

15:34.720 --> 15:38.720
And then in return, you would
plug your MTV shows on your.

15:38.720 --> 15:40.720
I was probably the top 30 hit
list.

15:40.720 --> 15:41.720
Yeah.

15:41.720 --> 15:42.720
God.

15:42.720 --> 15:43.720
I negotiated that.

15:43.720 --> 15:44.720
Yeah.

15:44.720 --> 15:45.720
Very good.

15:45.720 --> 15:47.720
Carefully negotiated cross
mentions.

15:47.720 --> 15:49.720
You know, can by the way.

15:49.720 --> 15:51.720
Once you with me.

15:51.720 --> 15:54.720
Uh, during the MTV.com lawsuit.

15:54.720 --> 15:55.720
Oh, goodness.

15:55.720 --> 15:56.720
Yes.

15:56.720 --> 15:57.720
Yeah.

15:57.720 --> 15:58.720
You, you, you, you, you still
have all that crap can.

15:58.720 --> 15:59.720
I moved it with me.

15:59.720 --> 16:01.720
I have all that fucking shit.

16:01.720 --> 16:03.720
The cases of files.

16:03.720 --> 16:04.720
Yep.

16:04.720 --> 16:06.720
I haven't even the, the three
and a half inch floppies.

16:06.720 --> 16:07.720
All the printouts.

16:07.720 --> 16:09.720
All the legal documents.

16:09.720 --> 16:10.720
Joe Donnelly.

16:10.720 --> 16:11.720
Remember him?

16:11.720 --> 16:16.720
I was just going to say that
lawsuit proved one thing if one
thing only.

16:16.720 --> 16:19.720
It really pays to have a really,
really, really good lawyer.

16:19.720 --> 16:20.720
Yeah.

16:20.720 --> 16:23.720
And we really pay him a shitload
of money too.

16:23.720 --> 16:26.720
Well, I don't know.

16:26.720 --> 16:29.720
We're like $250,000.

16:29.720 --> 16:33.720
I don't think MTV thought that,
you know, you would, I, I think,
you know,

16:33.720 --> 16:35.720
Viacom and MTV typically in
those situations.

16:35.720 --> 16:38.720
Expect the little guy to curl up
in a ball and say you win, you
win, I give.

16:38.720 --> 16:40.720
You know, they should have just
asked for the asked for it.

16:40.720 --> 16:42.720
If they'd asked me, I would have
given it to you.

16:42.720 --> 16:43.720
You didn't.

16:43.720 --> 16:46.720
You know, I think you surprised
them because you didn't curl up
in a ball.

16:46.720 --> 16:48.720
That's, that's I think we can
probably say that.

16:48.720 --> 16:49.720
But I totally pulled it.

16:49.720 --> 16:51.720
David and Goliath in the press
on them.

16:51.720 --> 16:52.720
That work pretty well.

16:52.720 --> 16:53.720
Exactly.

16:53.720 --> 16:55.720
And in fact, it was the pressing
me.

16:55.720 --> 17:01.720
It was probably the best thing
for, for getting you in the
press and launching your new
endeavor,

17:01.720 --> 17:04.720
which was the web and on ramp
after MTV.

17:04.720 --> 17:08.720
The press that came out of that
was the best press that money
could buy.

17:08.720 --> 17:09.720
That's right.

17:09.720 --> 17:12.720
You haven't even been looking
good no matter what anybody
said.

17:12.720 --> 17:15.720
You came off looking good and it
came off looking good.

17:15.720 --> 17:16.720
Like fucker.

17:16.720 --> 17:17.720
Yeah.

17:17.720 --> 17:19.720
Do you have any press clippings
still?

17:19.720 --> 17:20.720
Yeah.

17:20.720 --> 17:21.720
I've got boxes of stuff.

17:21.720 --> 17:25.720
Do you have any of those
particular press clippings?

17:25.720 --> 17:26.720
Yeah.

17:26.720 --> 17:27.720
Then I'm not sure about that.

17:27.720 --> 17:28.720
That was in a separate file.

17:28.720 --> 17:29.720
We're depressing.

17:29.720 --> 17:30.720
I'm sorry.

17:30.720 --> 17:31.720
I'm sorry.

17:31.720 --> 17:32.720
We're digressing.

17:32.720 --> 17:34.720
That would be somewhere else
like in a curry co-on ramp.

17:34.720 --> 17:36.720
A few ideas of file.

17:36.720 --> 17:38.720
I've got the MTV files here.

17:38.720 --> 17:39.720
Yeah.

17:39.720 --> 17:40.720
Okay.

17:40.720 --> 17:43.720
I still have boxes and boxes of
three quarter inch tape, too.

17:43.720 --> 17:46.720
And there's some really funny
stuff on them if they haven't
molded.

17:46.720 --> 17:49.720
You know, I have the outtake
reel.

17:49.720 --> 17:52.720
I have, that's the one that
we're Julie says.

17:52.720 --> 17:53.720
Kiss my clip.

17:53.720 --> 17:54.720
I have that one.

17:54.720 --> 17:56.720
It's a great reel.

17:56.720 --> 17:57.720
I love that reel.

17:57.720 --> 17:58.720
And Kevin Seal.

17:58.720 --> 17:59.720
Kevin Seal is like,

17:59.720 --> 18:01.720
She got all Dave Diner account
too.

18:01.720 --> 18:02.720
Yeah.

18:02.720 --> 18:03.720
Dave Diner.

18:03.720 --> 18:04.720
That's right.

18:04.720 --> 18:05.720
Dave Diner was a four manager.

18:05.720 --> 18:06.720
I like Dave Diner.

18:07.720 --> 18:08.720
I liked him.

18:08.720 --> 18:10.720
He reminded me of my dad.

18:10.720 --> 18:11.720
He was very dry.

18:11.720 --> 18:12.720
Very dry.

18:12.720 --> 18:13.720
He was cool.

18:13.720 --> 18:14.720
Yeah.

18:14.720 --> 18:15.720
He was all right.

18:15.720 --> 18:16.720
He made me laugh.

18:16.720 --> 18:17.720
Gosh, man.

18:17.720 --> 18:18.720
Well, some of them were poor in
our camera.

18:18.720 --> 18:20.720
I wonder if Warren is still on
camera.

18:20.720 --> 18:21.720
I bet you.

18:21.720 --> 18:24.720
Warren or Celeste has probably
still there.

18:24.720 --> 18:25.720
You know, shriveled up in a
corner.

18:25.720 --> 18:26.720
Camp.

18:26.720 --> 18:29.720
It's got to be on a handheld
with a tripod.

18:29.720 --> 18:33.720
You know, because MTV, they
wouldn't really want to do
things to you.

18:33.720 --> 18:35.720
Either you aged at twice to
speed or it stopped you from

18:35.720 --> 18:37.720
aging during the time you were
there.

18:37.720 --> 18:38.720
That's right.

18:38.720 --> 18:40.720
For you, for the good people,

18:40.720 --> 18:43.720
it stopped us from aging during
the time we were there.

18:43.720 --> 18:44.720
Yeah.

18:44.720 --> 18:45.720
Well, you know,

18:45.720 --> 18:48.720
you were talking about the
camera people.

18:48.720 --> 18:49.720
Operators.

18:49.720 --> 18:50.720
And not only them, but, you
know,

18:50.720 --> 18:51.720
Jeff on Cairon, you know,

18:51.720 --> 18:53.720
the, the Cairon is the,

18:53.720 --> 18:54.720
that's what they bring, you
know,

18:54.720 --> 18:55.720
the letters they bring up.

18:55.720 --> 18:56.720
So, you know,

18:56.720 --> 18:57.720
with your name or whatever.

18:57.720 --> 18:58.720
And we had a great guy,

18:58.720 --> 18:59.720
the Cairon operator Jeff,

18:59.720 --> 19:00.720
because he couldn't spell.

19:00.720 --> 19:01.720
That was like,

19:06.720 --> 19:07.720
You know,

19:12.720 --> 19:15.720
like the first required because
it was,

19:15.720 --> 19:16.720
it was, you know,

19:16.720 --> 19:18.720
and Rick would audio and just a
feedback with the crew.

19:18.720 --> 19:19.720
Otherwise,

19:19.720 --> 19:21.720
you're sitting there and a
fucking dead studio.

19:21.720 --> 19:24.720
Talking shit without seeing the
videos, you know?

19:24.720 --> 19:25.720
Have you talked to Rick
recently?

19:25.720 --> 19:26.720
You keep sending that.

19:26.720 --> 19:28.720
I mean,

19:28.720 --> 19:29.720
I have more recently than I
have, I think.

19:29.720 --> 19:31.720
I looked up a couple.

19:31.720 --> 19:33.720
He visited you once in
Amsterdam.

19:33.720 --> 19:34.720
I think that was,

19:34.720 --> 19:41.720
That was, oh, that was a well
back, but I saw him in New York
and we kept in touch a little
bit, he's a sex-fiend.

19:41.720 --> 19:43.720
I got, he's in all kinds of...

19:43.720 --> 19:45.720
Yeah, I don't know.

19:45.720 --> 19:46.720
He's always into somebody.

19:46.720 --> 19:50.720
He's married for a long time and
had a lovely wife and a lovely
relationship.

19:50.720 --> 19:55.720
Joe and I decided he wanted to
have sex with lesbians.

19:55.720 --> 19:57.720
And I'm like, yeah, I get it.

19:57.720 --> 19:58.720
Lesbians Swedish made.

19:58.720 --> 20:00.720
Yeah, she was cool.

20:01.720 --> 20:06.720
Anyway, so, um, who was next?

20:06.720 --> 20:09.720
Then I came in to talk about
women.

20:09.720 --> 20:11.720
You, you, you don't have never
asked you, will you?

20:11.720 --> 20:14.720
I've never asked you exactly
what that was like from your
end.

20:14.720 --> 20:15.720
I remember coming in.

20:15.720 --> 20:16.720
I remember my first day.

20:16.720 --> 20:18.720
I remember what it was like.

20:18.720 --> 20:22.720
But I don't think you've ever
told me what it was like on the
other side.

20:22.720 --> 20:25.720
Because, you know, they've
apparently hired some geek.

20:26.720 --> 20:36.720
I remember you and Julie and
Daisy and Kevin Seel starting
probably more than anybody else,

20:36.720 --> 20:39.720
because down the road after
that, they kept turning over.

20:39.720 --> 20:41.720
And you know, I hear a comes
another one.

20:41.720 --> 20:43.720
So, who did you come in?

20:43.720 --> 20:45.720
Oh, Kevin Seel came in first, I
bet, right?

20:45.720 --> 20:46.720
Because that was a part of
the...

20:46.720 --> 20:50.720
Kevin Seel was the one they did,
the Great College VJs.

20:50.720 --> 20:51.720
Right.

20:51.720 --> 20:55.720
When to college campuses around
the United States and auditioned
people and out of thousands of
people,

20:55.720 --> 20:58.720
somehow they ended up with Kevin
Seel.

20:58.720 --> 21:03.720
His audition was truly
brilliant, although as it turned
out later, he may have been on
mushrooms at the time.

21:03.720 --> 21:11.720
Kevin Seel is one of the most
talented comedians I have ever
met in my life, and he is
completely disadvantaged.

21:11.720 --> 21:16.720
He is completely deranged and
podcasted by the way, would be
perfect for him.

21:17.720 --> 21:21.720
Last I heard from Kevin, he was
married, he was in Seattle.

21:21.720 --> 21:25.720
I believe he had kids, and I
think he had gone and done
something.

21:25.720 --> 21:27.720
Remember, he was an engineering
major.

21:27.720 --> 21:28.720
He was fucking brilliant.

21:28.720 --> 21:29.720
He was brilliant.

21:29.720 --> 21:33.720
Well, yeah, but I think he's
actually building bridges or
something.

21:33.720 --> 21:34.720
Did...

21:34.720 --> 21:36.720
He was hanging out with Bernie,
right?

21:36.720 --> 21:38.720
Remember Bernie?

21:38.720 --> 21:39.720
Hmm.

21:39.720 --> 21:42.720
Bernie, our receptionist, our
emergency.

21:42.720 --> 21:43.720
Bernie does it.

21:43.720 --> 21:44.720
Bernie does it.

21:44.720 --> 21:45.720
Yeah.

21:45.720 --> 21:46.720
The emergency were friends,
frankly.

21:46.720 --> 21:48.720
And they probably still talk.

21:48.720 --> 21:49.720
I've lost that baby.

21:49.720 --> 21:50.720
She was great.

21:50.720 --> 21:51.720
She was a hoot dough.

21:51.720 --> 21:52.720
Oh man, she was so cool.

21:52.720 --> 21:53.720
She was whacked.

21:53.720 --> 21:58.720
Well, how would Stern used to
call our studio all the time in
the morning live?

21:58.720 --> 22:00.720
And he would talk to her, right?

22:00.720 --> 22:02.720
And try to get through to Steve
leads.

22:02.720 --> 22:04.720
And Steve leads emailed me.

22:04.720 --> 22:06.720
What's he doing?

22:06.720 --> 22:09.720
He's consulting for serious.

22:09.720 --> 22:10.720
He probably got...

22:10.720 --> 22:11.720
Of course, there's a link.

22:12.720 --> 22:14.720
He's like, you got marches out
on the ground.

22:26.720 --> 22:31.720
We'd remember going back to your
question of what it was like
when you guys started.

22:31.720 --> 22:35.720
I mean, it was really strange
because, you know, original VJs
had left.

22:35.720 --> 22:36.720
And it was family.

22:36.720 --> 22:40.720
And everybody was really kind of
very nervous about how this was
going to be.

22:40.720 --> 22:42.720
And what it was going to be like
with new people.

22:42.720 --> 22:43.720
Right.

22:43.720 --> 22:46.720
And I can't remember whether you
came first or Julie or Kevin A.

22:46.720 --> 22:47.720
I don't know.

22:47.720 --> 22:51.720
But I remember, you know, Julie
was on TV and...

22:51.720 --> 22:52.720
She wasn't...

22:52.720 --> 22:54.720
Like a dancer on television.

22:54.720 --> 22:55.720
Yeah, something.

22:55.720 --> 22:56.720
She was...

22:56.720 --> 22:57.720
Yeah, yeah.

22:57.720 --> 22:58.720
She was that.

22:58.720 --> 23:00.720
And she was also doing like TV
AM or something.

23:00.720 --> 23:02.720
And they had flown her over to
do an audition.

23:02.720 --> 23:06.720
And I remember coming over and
being very British and very
nervous.

23:06.720 --> 23:07.720
Really?

23:07.720 --> 23:08.720
Really.

23:09.720 --> 23:12.720
You see, the thing with Julie
Brown, the thing with Julie
Brown.

23:12.720 --> 23:13.720
Sorry for interrupting you, Ken.

23:13.720 --> 23:16.720
Is that she was...

23:16.720 --> 23:21.720
The perfect example of why MTV
was fucked up from day one.

23:21.720 --> 23:22.720
We're not from day one.

23:22.720 --> 23:23.720
But, you know, when these...

23:23.720 --> 23:29.720
When the new people came in
because Julie off camera was
fucking hilarious.

23:29.720 --> 23:30.720
I mean, we...

23:30.720 --> 23:31.720
Very much.

23:31.720 --> 23:32.720
We had to stop.

23:32.720 --> 23:35.720
I mean, people were in stitches
dying on the floor.

23:35.720 --> 23:37.720
It was just so hilarious.

23:37.720 --> 23:39.720
And the foul mouth...

23:39.720 --> 23:40.720
I mean, she...

23:40.720 --> 23:42.720
No one had anything on her.

23:42.720 --> 23:43.720
And it was funny.

23:43.720 --> 23:44.720
It was really...

23:44.720 --> 23:45.720
Funny.

23:45.720 --> 23:48.720
But, you know, that was not the
stuff that MTV aired.

23:48.720 --> 23:49.720
What they aired was...

23:49.720 --> 23:50.720
No, they were...

23:50.720 --> 23:51.720
The...

23:51.720 --> 23:52.720
The...

23:52.720 --> 23:53.720
The...

23:53.720 --> 23:54.720
It was boring.

23:54.720 --> 23:55.720
And then she turned around and
said, okay, it's my clip.

23:55.720 --> 23:56.720
And it was like, ah!

23:56.720 --> 23:57.720
She was...

23:57.720 --> 23:58.720
Jennifer...

23:58.720 --> 23:59.720
Jennifer...

23:59.720 --> 24:00.720
And Ab Fab...

24:00.720 --> 24:01.720
Way before their time.

24:01.720 --> 24:02.720
I'm just...

24:02.720 --> 24:03.720
Well, I'm sorry, not Joan
Rivers.

24:03.720 --> 24:04.720
But she was before Ab Fab.

24:04.720 --> 24:06.720
She probably already had stolen
a lot of her...

24:06.720 --> 24:07.720
Or...

24:07.720 --> 24:09.720
But it was influenced by a...

24:09.720 --> 24:11.720
By a lot of that British humor
that I'm seeing here.

24:11.720 --> 24:12.720
But she was great.

24:12.720 --> 24:14.720
And that just never made it on
the air.

24:14.720 --> 24:15.720
No.

24:15.720 --> 24:19.720
Unfortunately, the funny stuff
didn't all go on...

24:19.720 --> 24:22.720
Oh, and Julie, by the way, is
married to a...

24:22.720 --> 24:24.720
For foul player?

24:24.720 --> 24:25.720
No, no, no.

24:25.720 --> 24:26.720
Baseball?

24:26.720 --> 24:27.720
No, nothing like that.

24:27.720 --> 24:28.720
Oh, like a guy with boats?

24:28.720 --> 24:29.720
Like a guy with boats?

24:29.720 --> 24:30.720
No, he's...

24:30.720 --> 24:31.720
Yeah, but he's like a real
estate guy.

24:31.720 --> 24:32.720
I...

24:32.720 --> 24:33.720
Yeah.

24:33.720 --> 24:34.720
It's got money.

24:34.720 --> 24:35.720
Like a developer.

24:36.720 --> 24:37.720
Yeah, he's got money.

24:37.720 --> 24:38.720
Yeah, right now.

24:38.720 --> 24:43.720
And he has a daughter that was
very, very young when he and
Julie got married.

24:43.720 --> 24:46.720
So Julie's basically raised his
child as her own.

24:46.720 --> 24:49.720
And Julie, I think, is probably
one of the world's best moms.

24:49.720 --> 24:51.720
And is very, very happy.

24:51.720 --> 24:53.720
And not doing a lot of work
either.

24:53.720 --> 24:54.720
She...

24:54.720 --> 24:55.720
She...

24:55.720 --> 24:56.720
They're in California.

24:56.720 --> 24:57.720
Wasn't she married to that
model?

24:57.720 --> 25:00.720
First, can, like, some male
model that she was with?

25:00.720 --> 25:01.720
I don't know.

25:01.720 --> 25:02.720
She was actually married.

25:02.720 --> 25:04.720
Whenever married there, that was
her fiance, Chris.

25:04.720 --> 25:06.720
She was from England with her to
New York.

25:06.720 --> 25:07.720
Oh, that's...

25:07.720 --> 25:10.720
And during the time that they
were in New York together,

25:10.720 --> 25:12.720
he, in fact,

25:12.720 --> 25:13.720
funny sidebar.

25:13.720 --> 25:16.720
But back, before Mariah Carey
was Mariah Carey,

25:16.720 --> 25:19.720
she used to work at a sports bar
on the opposite side of
Manhattan.

25:19.720 --> 25:20.720
Yeah.

25:20.720 --> 25:22.720
And he was on some rugby team.

25:22.720 --> 25:23.720
Right.

25:23.720 --> 25:24.720
I remember that.

25:24.720 --> 25:26.720
She'd always have to go pick him
up after he played.

25:26.720 --> 25:27.720
Right.

25:27.720 --> 25:29.720
Well, apparently, she...

25:29.720 --> 25:32.720
Julie caught Chris in Demariah
Carey.

25:33.720 --> 25:34.720
Let me tell you.

25:34.720 --> 25:36.720
If I had to line him up next to
each other,

25:36.720 --> 25:38.720
I'd totally go from Mariah
Carey.

25:38.720 --> 25:40.720
Oh, totally.

25:40.720 --> 25:41.720
Totally.

25:41.720 --> 25:42.720
But I bet you, Julie.

25:42.720 --> 25:44.720
But Julie, I bet you was hot in
the sack,

25:44.720 --> 25:46.720
because, you know, she did Billy
Idol.

25:46.720 --> 25:48.720
I mean, that's pretty cool.

25:48.720 --> 25:50.720
Anyway, Chris ran off with all
her money

25:50.720 --> 25:51.720
and started to succeed this
week.

25:51.720 --> 25:52.720
No.

25:52.720 --> 25:53.720
We clubbed in California.

25:53.720 --> 25:54.720
Oh, that's horrible.

25:54.720 --> 25:55.720
What happened after that?

25:55.720 --> 25:56.720
He ran off with her in the
street.

25:56.720 --> 25:57.720
Well, she didn't have any money.

25:57.720 --> 25:58.720
She didn't have any real money.

25:58.720 --> 25:59.720
She didn't have any real money.

25:59.720 --> 26:00.720
She didn't have any real money.

26:00.720 --> 26:01.720
But she didn't have any real
money.

26:01.720 --> 26:03.720
I mean, she was living paycheck
to paycheck like the rest.

26:03.720 --> 26:04.720
Actually, she did.

26:04.720 --> 26:05.720
I mean, she...

26:05.720 --> 26:06.720
She...

26:06.720 --> 26:07.720
She'd saved up some money in
England,

26:07.720 --> 26:09.720
and they owned a house.

26:09.720 --> 26:10.720
And, you know, she was...

26:10.720 --> 26:11.720
She was doing okay there.

26:11.720 --> 26:12.720
MTV is...

26:12.720 --> 26:13.720
Well, and...

26:13.720 --> 26:14.720
Hmm.

26:14.720 --> 26:17.720
You and Julie, I think, were
probably the two that...

26:17.720 --> 26:20.720
I have no idea if they pay like
they used to.

26:20.720 --> 26:21.720
And I'm sure, you know,

26:21.720 --> 26:23.720
oh, people like Carson Daily got
to a point

26:23.720 --> 26:24.720
where they were proud.

26:24.720 --> 26:25.720
He must have very good money.

26:25.720 --> 26:26.720
He must have been made to know
that.

26:26.720 --> 26:27.720
At least 200,000.

26:27.720 --> 26:29.720
I bet he was making 200,000.

26:29.720 --> 26:30.720
Not much more.

26:31.720 --> 26:32.720
But, you know, that's why...

26:32.720 --> 26:34.720
You did make at least 200,000 to
live like a neighbor.

26:34.720 --> 26:36.720
Like a neighbor in Manhattan
these days, so...

26:36.720 --> 26:37.720
Yeah.

26:37.720 --> 26:38.720
Well, but, you know, you get all
your appearances,

26:38.720 --> 26:39.720
and all the other shit if you...

26:39.720 --> 26:40.720
I never really did that.

26:40.720 --> 26:42.720
I only did that to promote my
radio shows.

26:42.720 --> 26:43.720
I didn't do fucking store
openings.

26:43.720 --> 26:44.720
Although, I did do...

26:44.720 --> 26:45.720
Like the Popeyes.

26:45.720 --> 26:46.720
The Popeyes, yes.

26:46.720 --> 26:49.720
The Popeyes chicken grand
opening.

26:49.720 --> 26:50.720
Okay, fuck you.

26:50.720 --> 26:52.720
You weren't going to bring that
up, can.

26:52.720 --> 26:53.720
He...

26:53.720 --> 26:54.720
Where was that?

26:54.720 --> 26:55.720
Where was that?

26:55.720 --> 26:57.720
I don't remember where it was.

26:57.720 --> 26:59.720
It was down the south, like New
Orleans...

27:00.720 --> 27:02.720
No, no, New Orleans was great.

27:02.720 --> 27:05.720
You'd have to fly off and do
another silly radio promo.

27:05.720 --> 27:08.720
And I think I learned an awful
lot working for you in those
years

27:08.720 --> 27:11.720
because there are no silly or
people, and there's no silly or
business

27:11.720 --> 27:12.720
and syndicated...

27:12.720 --> 27:14.720
I said the kid in front of you.

27:14.720 --> 27:16.720
Everybody, how are you doing?

27:16.720 --> 27:18.720
I mean, that is silly shit.

27:18.720 --> 27:21.720
Christina says hi, she can't
hear you,

27:21.720 --> 27:23.720
but she's in the room.

27:23.720 --> 27:25.720
Yeah, it's Ken.

27:25.720 --> 27:26.720
Yeah, Ken.

27:26.720 --> 27:27.720
Your buddy Ken.

27:27.720 --> 27:28.720
Well, tell her I said hello.

27:28.720 --> 27:29.720
Yeah.

27:29.720 --> 27:30.720
He says hi.

27:30.720 --> 27:33.720
For people that didn't sound
very enthusiastic,

27:33.720 --> 27:36.720
it's hard to explain to people
the relationship I have with
Christina,

27:36.720 --> 27:38.720
which we don't really have at
this point.

27:38.720 --> 27:39.720
But I mean...

27:39.720 --> 27:40.720
She loves you better.

27:40.720 --> 27:41.720
She still loves you.

27:41.720 --> 27:45.720
Your daughter and I were very
much in love when I was in my
late 20s

27:45.720 --> 27:46.720
and she was too.

27:46.720 --> 27:47.720
Right.

27:47.720 --> 27:48.720
Right.

27:48.720 --> 27:51.720
And let's just explain because
at a certain point...

27:51.720 --> 27:52.720
Quite enough fair.

27:52.720 --> 27:56.720
When did I ask you to come work
for me and leave MTV?

27:56.720 --> 27:58.720
God, I was really fucking with
him.

27:58.720 --> 27:59.720
Right.

27:59.720 --> 28:01.720
93.

28:01.720 --> 28:02.720
93.

28:02.720 --> 28:03.720
Really was that late.

28:03.720 --> 28:04.720
So it was like...

28:04.720 --> 28:05.720
92.

28:05.720 --> 28:06.720
93.

28:06.720 --> 28:07.720
It was around there.

28:07.720 --> 28:08.720
Right.

28:08.720 --> 28:09.720
Right.

28:09.720 --> 28:10.720
Right.

28:10.720 --> 28:11.720
Right.

28:11.720 --> 28:12.720
And so...

28:12.720 --> 28:13.720
When was the occasion?

28:13.720 --> 28:14.720
Why did I need you?

28:14.720 --> 28:17.720
You had fired...

28:17.720 --> 28:18.720
Ivan.

28:18.720 --> 28:20.720
The Joan Jet People.

28:20.720 --> 28:22.720
Oh, right.

28:22.720 --> 28:23.720
Kenny.

28:23.720 --> 28:24.720
Kenny Laguna.

28:24.720 --> 28:25.720
That was so ugly.

28:25.720 --> 28:26.720
That was so fucking ugly.

28:26.720 --> 28:27.720
But you know...

28:27.720 --> 28:28.720
Kenny was a great guy.

28:28.720 --> 28:30.720
But Steve Lieber was hard to
deal with.

28:30.720 --> 28:31.720
Well...

28:31.720 --> 28:32.720
There were arosimists.

28:32.720 --> 28:34.720
It was the one that they fired.

28:34.720 --> 28:35.720
Yeah.

28:35.720 --> 28:37.720
You would come to New York and
you had done the appropriate
thing.

28:37.720 --> 28:38.720
You had hired publicist.

28:38.720 --> 28:39.720
You had hired agents.

28:39.720 --> 28:41.720
You'd hired managers.

28:41.720 --> 28:43.720
And you know, I think at the end
of the day,

28:43.720 --> 28:46.720
you realize that maybe you don't
need all that crap.

28:46.720 --> 28:47.720
No.

28:47.720 --> 28:48.720
You can do yourself.

28:48.720 --> 28:49.720
Yeah.

28:49.720 --> 28:50.720
Exactly.

28:50.720 --> 28:52.720
There's no point in paying
somebody a percentage like that.

28:52.720 --> 28:53.720
But a lot of people have done.

28:53.720 --> 28:56.720
And you were actually pretty
early on in doing it.

28:56.720 --> 28:58.720
But you said, I don't need all
these people.

28:58.720 --> 29:00.720
I just need to hire somebody.

29:00.720 --> 29:01.720
Yeah.

29:01.720 --> 29:03.720
On staff who can take care of a
lot of those day-to-day
functions.

29:03.720 --> 29:07.720
And then keep the agent because
they only make a percent if they
bring the money in.

29:07.720 --> 29:08.720
Yeah.

29:08.720 --> 29:09.720
But check this.

29:09.720 --> 29:10.720
You also hire the manager.

29:10.720 --> 29:12.720
It makes a percent of everything
you make.

29:12.720 --> 29:13.720
Right.

29:13.720 --> 29:14.720
Fuckers.

29:14.720 --> 29:15.720
Fucking bandits.

29:15.720 --> 29:17.720
So you walked into my office one
day.

29:17.720 --> 29:20.720
And I was, you know, I'd been
there for nine years.

29:20.720 --> 29:23.720
And the vibe of what was going
on at the channel had changed
considerably.

29:23.720 --> 29:24.720
Who was running the show then?

29:24.720 --> 29:26.720
Because we should talk about
that one time.

29:26.720 --> 29:27.720
Who was running the show?

29:27.720 --> 29:30.720
What light switch was the
operation light switch?

29:30.720 --> 29:31.720
Was it this time?

29:31.720 --> 29:33.720
On what level?

29:33.720 --> 29:35.720
Ah, who was, what was the
production?

29:35.720 --> 29:36.720
What were we doing?

29:36.720 --> 29:39.720
Remember we had all those
different phases that we went
through.

29:39.720 --> 29:41.720
And we had the blue screens.

29:41.720 --> 29:44.720
And then we had, you know, five
seconds of talking.

29:44.720 --> 29:45.720
You know, that shit.

29:45.720 --> 29:46.720
Remember how we went through all
that?

29:46.720 --> 29:49.720
I think we'd kind of almost come
full circle.

29:49.720 --> 29:54.720
We were, we had gone down to
42nd and rebuilt a big real life
set again at that.

29:54.720 --> 29:56.720
That's the new studio.

29:56.720 --> 29:57.720
Yeah, those were nine.

29:57.720 --> 29:58.720
Yeah.

29:58.720 --> 29:59.720
That was cool.

29:59.720 --> 30:09.720
And, you know, things had gone a
little bit back to, you know,
normal VJ day parts and actual
segments that, you know, were
more than two seconds.

30:09.720 --> 30:11.720
I bet you the radio guys were
backing.

30:11.720 --> 30:12.720
What was his name?

30:12.720 --> 30:14.720
Andy, Andy.

30:14.720 --> 30:16.720
Who was programmed right?

30:17.720 --> 30:18.720
Andy.

30:18.720 --> 30:19.720
Something.

30:19.720 --> 30:20.720
He was.

30:20.720 --> 30:21.720
I bet you he was in.

30:21.720 --> 30:22.720
Because it was running like
radio again.

30:22.720 --> 30:23.720
Yeah.

30:23.720 --> 30:24.720
Yeah.

30:24.720 --> 30:25.720
He was a guy that it didn't
care.

30:25.720 --> 30:26.720
Andy's shown.

30:26.720 --> 30:27.720
Andy's shown.

30:27.720 --> 30:28.720
Andy's shown.

30:28.720 --> 30:29.720
Yeah.

30:29.720 --> 30:30.720
Because he had.

30:30.720 --> 30:31.720
Yeah.

30:31.720 --> 30:32.720
Yeah.

30:32.720 --> 30:34.720
He had known Kennedy.

30:34.720 --> 30:37.720
Kennedy, by the way, is no
longer in the business.

30:37.720 --> 30:40.720
I think she's, she's, no, we
know what Kennedy's doing.

30:40.720 --> 30:41.720
No, no, we know what Kennedy's
doing.

30:41.720 --> 30:42.720
No, no, we know what Kennedy's
doing.

30:42.720 --> 30:45.720
No, no, we know what Kennedy's
doing.

30:45.720 --> 30:58.720
I'm just going to show some kind
of bad.

30:58.720 --> 30:59.720
TV show somewhere.

30:59.720 --> 31:03.720
Always kind of, you know, the
hip Republican as it were.

31:03.720 --> 31:04.720
That's why I hated her.

31:04.720 --> 31:07.720
And they said, well, they've,
they've really dusted her off.

31:07.720 --> 31:09.720
Remember when she fucked up my
ass?

31:09.720 --> 31:10.720
Can that?

31:10.720 --> 31:13.720
Why did you fuck up your, do you
remember that?

31:13.720 --> 31:16.720
Well, I told the source of
listeners who was my thigh.

31:16.720 --> 31:17.720
It really was my thigh.

31:17.720 --> 31:18.720
It really was my thigh.

31:18.720 --> 31:19.720
Yes, I heard it.

31:19.720 --> 31:20.720
And yeah, I do.

31:20.720 --> 31:21.720
I've forgotten about that.

31:21.720 --> 31:22.720
That was fucked up.

31:22.720 --> 31:23.720
I've forgotten about that.

31:23.720 --> 31:25.720
I don't think I was there at the
time.

31:25.720 --> 31:26.720
I was at the beach house.

31:26.720 --> 31:27.720
That was very cool.

31:27.720 --> 31:29.720
The beach house concept was
fucking great.

31:29.720 --> 31:30.720
The first time.

31:30.720 --> 31:31.720
Yeah.

31:31.720 --> 31:34.720
And you know, that always pissed
me off because those fuckers
never let me come.

31:34.720 --> 31:35.720
Never let you know.

31:35.720 --> 31:38.720
That was like the VMA.

31:38.720 --> 31:40.720
Because there'd be one or two of
you at the beach house.

31:40.720 --> 31:42.720
And everybody else would be back
in the studio.

31:42.720 --> 31:46.720
So they felt it was better to
have me back at the studio than
out at the beach house.

31:46.720 --> 31:48.720
We needed you to run the ship to
Ken.

31:48.720 --> 31:52.720
We needed to know that there's
strong firm hand was on the
wheel at all times.

31:52.720 --> 31:54.720
Yeah.

31:54.720 --> 31:56.720
And besides that, we just
haven't too much fun.

31:56.720 --> 31:57.720
We're having too much fun.

31:57.720 --> 31:59.720
I'm on our old makeup artist in
New York.

31:59.720 --> 32:00.720
On the last year.

32:00.720 --> 32:01.720
Do you meet?

32:01.720 --> 32:02.720
Do you meet?

32:02.720 --> 32:03.720
My trips to New York.

32:03.720 --> 32:04.720
I was walking through the
village.

32:04.720 --> 32:06.720
And there was Keon before me.

32:06.720 --> 32:07.720
Oh, Keon.

32:07.720 --> 32:08.720
Oh, my God.

32:08.720 --> 32:09.720
For Keon.

32:09.720 --> 32:10.720
Yeah, of course.

32:10.720 --> 32:11.720
How's Keon?

32:11.720 --> 32:12.720
No, of course not.

32:12.720 --> 32:13.720
Don't touch me.

32:13.720 --> 32:14.720
Be honest.

32:14.720 --> 32:15.720
Well, no.

32:15.720 --> 32:17.720
Your wife was the only one that
was led to do your makeup.

32:17.720 --> 32:18.720
Yeah.

32:18.720 --> 32:19.720
And my hair.

32:19.720 --> 32:20.720
And your hair.

32:20.720 --> 32:21.720
Well, you came in done.

32:21.720 --> 32:22.720
And you were always funny.

32:22.720 --> 32:24.720
You know, everybody else would
come in and sweat and take an
hour and a half to get

32:24.720 --> 32:25.720
ready.

32:25.720 --> 32:29.720
You'd come in 30 seconds after
you were supposed to be on the
set and just kind of walk in the

32:29.720 --> 32:31.720
door and throw your jacket over
the stool.

32:31.720 --> 32:33.720
I always be like 30 seconds
late.

32:33.720 --> 32:34.720
Right.

32:34.720 --> 32:35.720
I just strolling.

32:35.720 --> 32:37.720
Well, you were always calling
from the tunnel.

32:37.720 --> 32:38.720
You know, you're right there.

32:38.720 --> 32:39.720
We're like ready.

32:39.720 --> 32:40.720
You know.

32:40.720 --> 32:41.720
You're ready.

32:41.720 --> 32:52.720
You're ready.

32:52.720 --> 32:53.720
We're always in the tunnel.

32:53.720 --> 32:54.720
Right.

32:54.720 --> 32:56.720
But the time you ran out of gas
in the tunnel.

32:56.720 --> 32:57.720
Oh, dude.

32:57.720 --> 32:59.720
Oh, you're in a Rolls Royce.

32:59.720 --> 33:00.720
Let me tell you.

33:00.720 --> 33:07.720
A quick way to make yourself
really hated in New York is to
run out of gas in a Rolls Royce

33:07.720 --> 33:08.720
in the afternoon.

33:08.720 --> 33:12.720
I broke down to the Honda, but
everybody thought, sorry for me.

33:12.720 --> 33:17.720
And they come out with this god
awful yellow thing with these
two big, big bumpers

33:17.720 --> 33:20.720
and literally just bump their
ass out of the way.

33:20.720 --> 33:21.720
It just bump you all the way.

33:21.720 --> 33:25.720
And the Rolls when it's not when
the engine's not running, you
have no power steering.

33:25.720 --> 33:30.720
And so it's like this little,
this little wheel like this
grandma thin wheel that you
know,

33:30.720 --> 33:33.720
you're pulling with all your
might and it's like, you know,
the thing is creaking

33:33.720 --> 33:34.720
and the tie issues.

33:34.720 --> 33:36.720
That was a horrendous
experience.

33:36.720 --> 33:41.720
And everyone that wronging and
flipping the urge caused me a
great deal of stress over the
many years

33:41.720 --> 33:42.720
that I worked for.

33:42.720 --> 33:43.720
Shit.

33:43.720 --> 33:45.720
Well, I had it for 90,000 miles.

33:45.720 --> 33:50.720
That Rolls caused me a great
deal of stress over those
90,000.

33:50.720 --> 33:51.720
Why?

33:51.720 --> 33:53.720
Just because of all the payments
we had to make for it.

33:53.720 --> 33:54.720
That we could never make.

33:54.720 --> 33:56.720
It was a very expensive car.

33:56.720 --> 33:58.720
And be even to have a spark plug
change.

33:58.720 --> 34:00.720
It was like thousands of
dollars.

34:00.720 --> 34:01.720
I paid per spark.

34:02.720 --> 34:08.720
You know, they'd have to import
the spark plug and the wrench
and the guy to turn it from one
to two.

34:08.720 --> 34:10.720
Oh, that was funny.

34:10.720 --> 34:11.720
Oh, man.

34:11.720 --> 34:12.720
Hey, listen.

34:12.720 --> 34:15.720
Remember you traded that hand
on, what did you trade that for?

34:15.720 --> 34:16.720
I did trade it.

34:16.720 --> 34:17.720
I gave it away.

34:17.720 --> 34:18.720
All right.

34:18.720 --> 34:20.720
But I mean, you switched to a
Ford Explorer then.

34:20.720 --> 34:21.720
Yeah.

34:21.720 --> 34:23.720
One of the kind that blows up.

34:23.720 --> 34:25.720
No, those didn't blow up.

34:25.720 --> 34:26.720
They tipped over.

34:26.720 --> 34:27.720
The tiptoe, right?

34:27.720 --> 34:28.720
Yeah.

34:28.720 --> 34:29.720
It was a national emergency.

34:29.720 --> 34:30.720
No, it was a drive.

34:30.720 --> 34:31.720
I'm sorry.

34:31.720 --> 34:32.720
Medical emergency.

34:32.720 --> 34:34.720
Which dot com license plate.

34:34.720 --> 34:35.720
You better have your ass ready.

34:35.720 --> 34:36.720
We're going to work.

34:36.720 --> 34:37.720
I'm like, are you crazy?

34:37.720 --> 34:41.720
It's a state of emergency.

34:41.720 --> 34:43.720
It was the blizzard.

34:43.720 --> 34:46.720
Remember we wasn't at the
blizzard that we went that we
drove in.

34:46.720 --> 34:49.720
And everyone was was putting
pictures up on the web and
stuff.

34:49.720 --> 34:50.720
Yeah.

34:50.720 --> 34:51.720
Yeah.

34:51.720 --> 34:52.720
What was that?

34:52.720 --> 34:53.720
The blizzard of what?

34:53.760 --> 34:58.720
Ninety.

34:58.720 --> 35:00.720
Fifty six, seven.

35:00.720 --> 35:01.720
Ninety.

35:01.720 --> 35:05.720
Ninety six, ninety seven,
summer, was nine six.

35:05.720 --> 35:08.720
Ninety six.

35:08.720 --> 35:12.720
Nina's shorty of six.

35:12.720 --> 35:14.720
I had the dot com license
plates.

35:14.720 --> 35:17.720
Then it was.

35:17.720 --> 35:18.720
Ninety six.

35:18.720 --> 35:20.720
Ninety six and nineteen.

35:20.720 --> 35:21.720
Right.

35:21.720 --> 35:24.720
And Lou, to our housekeeper.

35:24.720 --> 35:28.720
Were you able to take a
charitable deduction for that?

35:28.720 --> 35:29.720
No, fuck it.

35:29.720 --> 35:33.720
It wasn't worth more than $5,000
by the time we got rid of it.

35:33.720 --> 35:34.720
It was shot.

35:34.720 --> 35:36.720
They still drive it around.

35:36.720 --> 35:37.720
Fireman and then.

35:37.720 --> 35:39.720
It's still driving around for a
moment.

35:39.720 --> 35:40.720
Yes, yes.

35:40.720 --> 35:41.720
Absolutely.

35:41.720 --> 35:42.720
I'm so excited to take it out.

35:42.720 --> 35:45.720
The Duchess, they still call it.

35:45.720 --> 35:46.720
That's not it.

35:46.720 --> 35:47.720
Listen, Ken.

35:47.720 --> 35:48.720
It's been like 30 minutes to
tell you what.

35:48.720 --> 35:50.720
Why don't we continue?

35:50.720 --> 35:53.720
And do some more like another
time and make this into a
series.

35:53.720 --> 35:54.720
This is great.

35:54.720 --> 35:56.720
Wait, I didn't say that, right?

35:56.720 --> 35:57.720
I would love to.

35:57.720 --> 35:59.720
Oh, that's so surreal.

35:59.720 --> 36:02.720
That's seriously because you
trained me.

36:02.720 --> 36:04.720
Ah, I trained you so well.

36:04.720 --> 36:06.720
I would love to.

36:06.720 --> 36:08.720
I would love to.

36:08.720 --> 36:09.720
Well, Adam had a thing.

36:09.720 --> 36:10.720
Anybody that worked for Adam.

36:10.720 --> 36:13.720
If he asked you to do something,
he wanted you to respond.

36:13.720 --> 36:14.720
I would love to.

36:14.720 --> 36:15.720
No, that's not true.

36:15.720 --> 36:16.720
What are you talking about?

36:16.720 --> 36:17.720
It was the joke.

36:17.720 --> 36:18.720
It was a joke.

36:18.720 --> 36:19.720
But he was an ongoing joke.

36:19.720 --> 36:22.720
Yeah, just either say no or I
would love to.

36:22.720 --> 36:23.720
I would love to.

36:23.720 --> 36:24.720
I would love to.

36:24.720 --> 36:34.720
Did I ever tell you that Barry
Nelson who was my assistant at

36:34.720 --> 36:35.720
Think?

36:35.720 --> 36:37.720
When you were running the
traffic department.

36:37.720 --> 36:39.720
Your final good assistant.

36:39.720 --> 36:40.720
Yeah.

36:40.720 --> 36:41.720
Oh, God.

36:41.720 --> 36:42.720
That he was on.

36:42.720 --> 36:43.720
You had it run there.

36:43.720 --> 36:47.720
He was on who wants to be a
millionaire?

36:47.720 --> 36:48.720
No.

36:48.720 --> 36:49.720
Yeah.

36:49.720 --> 36:51.720
And he had me listed as one of
the people's calling case.

36:51.720 --> 36:54.720
You needed to help line.

36:54.720 --> 36:56.720
Yeah, I think he did.

36:56.720 --> 36:58.720
It was like, I never saw that.

36:58.720 --> 36:59.720
Well, I didn't see it.

36:59.720 --> 37:01.720
I presume it aired.

37:01.720 --> 37:02.720
But he was on.

37:02.720 --> 37:04.720
So he called me and he was like
really excited.

37:04.720 --> 37:06.720
And see, can I kind of list you
as a number?

37:06.720 --> 37:07.720
Yeah, fuck an eye.

37:07.720 --> 37:10.720
Of course, the time they were
taping was like three o'clock in
the morning.

37:10.720 --> 37:11.720
My time, right?

37:11.720 --> 37:12.720
And so I went to bed at night.

37:12.720 --> 37:15.720
They call you up and get you
ready to do it and stuff?

37:15.720 --> 37:16.720
No.

37:16.720 --> 37:18.720
Eventually around around three
a.m. or whatever.

37:18.720 --> 37:19.720
And I'm like, oh, my God.

37:19.720 --> 37:20.720
I'm going to suck.

37:20.720 --> 37:21.720
I'm like completely.

37:21.720 --> 37:22.720
I go.

37:22.720 --> 37:23.720
Oh, I know.

37:23.720 --> 37:24.720
Oh, I know.

37:24.720 --> 37:26.720
Here you are in the air
completely asleep.

37:26.720 --> 37:27.720
Yeah, but it was.

37:27.720 --> 37:28.720
It was Ed.

37:28.720 --> 37:29.720
It was Ed.

37:29.720 --> 37:30.720
Yeah.

37:30.720 --> 37:32.720
Calling to say that, you know,
they wouldn't call me because
Barry.

37:32.720 --> 37:36.720
He got like, I think he did
$12,000 or was it $8,000?

37:36.720 --> 37:37.720
What's the level?

37:37.720 --> 37:38.720
$8,000 or $12,000?

37:38.720 --> 37:40.720
I have no retention for numeric.

37:40.720 --> 37:41.720
Yeah.

37:41.720 --> 37:42.720
And that's and that's all he
did.

37:42.720 --> 37:43.720
And I never heard again from
him.

37:43.720 --> 37:44.720
I'm sure he's okay.

37:44.720 --> 37:45.720
He'll get in touch again.

37:45.720 --> 37:47.720
I'm sure he's out there
somewhere.

37:47.720 --> 37:50.720
But yeah, we'll have to continue
this because we didn't even.

37:50.720 --> 37:51.720
You know, I made a list here.

37:51.720 --> 37:55.720
There were 37 members of the MTV
air talent.

37:55.720 --> 37:56.720
No.

37:56.720 --> 37:57.720
That I weigh.

37:57.720 --> 37:58.720
Thirty or seven.

37:58.720 --> 37:59.720
Thirty or seven.

37:59.720 --> 38:00.720
Eight.

38:00.720 --> 38:01.720
Unbelievable.

38:01.720 --> 38:02.720
Oh, my God.

38:02.720 --> 38:04.720
But there's so many other things
we can.

38:04.720 --> 38:05.720
We should do this.

38:05.720 --> 38:07.720
We should give this a name and
just do this from time to time.

38:07.720 --> 38:10.720
And just shoot the shit because
between the two of us,

38:10.720 --> 38:11.720
we have what?

38:11.720 --> 38:13.720
Twenty years of MTV history we
can talk about?

38:13.720 --> 38:14.720
Yeah.

38:14.720 --> 38:15.720
Wow.

38:15.720 --> 38:18.720
We can get zipped cream to
sponsor it.

38:18.720 --> 38:21.720
I could still use some.

38:21.720 --> 38:22.720
Right.

38:22.720 --> 38:23.720
Right on girlfriend.

38:23.720 --> 38:26.720
I'm still at a lesson.

38:26.720 --> 38:28.720
Okay.

38:28.720 --> 38:29.720
Well, good.

38:29.720 --> 38:32.720
Let's do this again tomorrow
whenever we feel like it.

38:32.720 --> 38:33.720
Whenever we hook up.

38:33.720 --> 38:34.720
This is fun.

38:34.720 --> 38:35.720
Okay.

38:35.720 --> 38:37.720
We could just call out the MTV
Chronicles.

38:37.720 --> 38:38.720
Something like that.

38:38.720 --> 38:39.720
Something like hokey.

38:39.720 --> 38:40.720
The MTV Chronicles.

38:40.720 --> 38:41.720
You're going to write a book.

38:41.720 --> 38:42.720
You're going to do a book.

38:42.720 --> 38:43.720
Was it going to be called?

38:44.720 --> 38:45.720
I know.

38:45.720 --> 38:46.720
Oh.

38:46.720 --> 38:47.720
Clean the title.

38:47.720 --> 38:49.720
Inside MTV.

38:49.720 --> 38:51.720
My life in the trenches.

38:51.720 --> 38:52.720
Yeah.

38:52.720 --> 38:53.720
Excellent.

38:53.720 --> 38:54.720
Or my time in the trenches.

38:54.720 --> 38:55.720
But no.

38:55.720 --> 38:56.720
It was inside MTV.

38:56.720 --> 38:57.720
My time in the trenches.

38:57.720 --> 38:59.720
It was going to be my personal
book.

38:59.720 --> 39:00.720
No.

39:00.720 --> 39:01.720
There's a book to be written
somewhere.

39:01.720 --> 39:02.720
It's all about time.

39:02.720 --> 39:03.720
Yeah.

39:03.720 --> 39:05.720
Well, that's why this is much
easier.

39:05.720 --> 39:08.720
I mean, you don't even like shit
on a book anyway.

39:08.720 --> 39:09.720
What?

39:09.720 --> 39:12.720
If somebody's going to pay you a
big advance and still write the
book.

39:12.720 --> 39:13.720
And they have bought your time.

39:13.720 --> 39:16.720
Then you can afford to sit there
for the months that it would
take and write.

39:16.720 --> 39:17.720
Other than that.

39:17.720 --> 39:18.720
I don't got time to do it.

39:18.720 --> 39:19.720
I'm going to make some money.

39:19.720 --> 39:20.720
Well, well.

39:20.720 --> 39:21.720
Hold on a second.

39:21.720 --> 39:22.720
Listen.

39:22.720 --> 39:23.720
Listen.

39:23.720 --> 39:24.720
You know, fucking.

39:24.720 --> 39:25.720
Mr. Real Estate.

39:25.720 --> 39:28.720
You know, Mr. Donald fucking
Trump of Portland.

39:28.720 --> 39:29.720
Let me.

39:29.720 --> 39:30.720
Let me ask it.

39:30.720 --> 39:31.720
How much.

39:31.720 --> 39:32.720
How much.

39:32.720 --> 39:33.720
Would it take to write the book?

39:33.720 --> 39:34.720
What kind of advance would you
need?

39:34.720 --> 39:39.720
I don't know.

39:39.720 --> 39:41.720
We'd have to talk about that.

39:42.720 --> 39:43.720
I have no idea.

39:43.720 --> 39:45.720
I mean, I've given a great deal
of thought to it.

39:45.720 --> 39:46.720
And would it really be a best
seller?

39:46.720 --> 39:49.720
Do you think it would really, it
would really, the people really
give a shit?

39:49.720 --> 39:50.720
Mmm.

39:50.720 --> 39:51.720
Seriously now.

39:51.720 --> 39:52.720
Probably not.

39:52.720 --> 39:53.720
I don't know.

39:53.720 --> 39:56.720
There's, there's three or four
different complete angles.

39:56.720 --> 39:57.720
You can take at how to do the
thing.

39:57.720 --> 39:58.720
It has to be scandalous.

39:58.720 --> 39:59.720
It has to be scandalous.

39:59.720 --> 40:02.720
Otherwise it's not going to be,
is it the scandals?

40:02.720 --> 40:03.720
You know.

40:03.720 --> 40:05.720
The thing is, everyone thinks
that there was, you know,

40:05.720 --> 40:07.720
MTV was, you know, one big
drugged out orgy.

40:07.720 --> 40:08.720
And, you know, guess what?

40:08.720 --> 40:10.720
It was fun, but it wasn't that
fun.

40:11.720 --> 40:14.720
It, it became a well-oiled
assembly line.

40:14.720 --> 40:18.720
Basically cranking out assembly
line television, you know,

40:18.720 --> 40:21.720
seven days a week, 24 hours a
day worth of television.

40:21.720 --> 40:23.720
And a Monday through Friday, you
know,

40:23.720 --> 40:24.720
seven, eight hour work day.

40:24.720 --> 40:25.720
Yeah.

40:25.720 --> 40:27.720
There was a science that
cranking it out.

40:27.720 --> 40:30.720
The sure thoughts and quirky
personalities that, you know,

40:30.720 --> 40:31.720
Yeah.

40:31.720 --> 40:34.720
Added to the mix, but it was by
no means a big drugged out
party.

40:34.720 --> 40:35.720
What was it, Linda?

40:35.720 --> 40:37.720
Linda?

40:37.720 --> 40:39.720
What's her name? Linda?

40:40.720 --> 40:41.720
Love lace?

40:41.720 --> 40:43.720
Yeah, that's the one.

40:43.720 --> 40:44.720
All right.

40:44.720 --> 40:46.720
I listen, I'll talk to you
tomorrow.

40:46.720 --> 40:47.720
We'll do some more of this.

40:47.720 --> 40:48.720
This is cool.

40:48.720 --> 40:49.720
This is fun.

40:49.720 --> 40:50.720
Okay. I enjoyed it.

40:50.720 --> 40:51.720
All right, very cool.

40:51.720 --> 40:52.720
Thank you.

40:52.720 --> 40:53.720
Talk to you soon.

40:53.720 --> 40:54.720
Love you, Ken.

40:54.720 --> 40:55.720
Okay, bye-bye.

40:59.720 --> 41:00.720
Well, there you have it.

41:00.720 --> 41:03.720
The very first episode of the
MTV Chronicles

41:03.720 --> 41:05.720
with my friend Ken Clark.

41:05.720 --> 41:07.720
Let me know what you think.

41:07.720 --> 41:10.720
If you want to hear another one
of these in lieu of regular
daily source code,

41:10.720 --> 41:13.720
or should we make it into a
separate feed, a separate
feature.

41:13.720 --> 41:16.720
Add them at curry.com or MP3
feedback at gmail.com.

41:16.720 --> 41:22.720
And I see that the BT bus is
parked outside.

41:22.720 --> 41:26.720
That means that they're going to
hook up the four megabit line
today.

41:26.720 --> 41:27.720
Ooh, yeah, everybody.

41:27.720 --> 41:30.720
So we've back tomorrow for the
thank-out of Spide 80

41:30.720 --> 41:31.720
for the daily source code.

41:31.720 --> 41:32.720
Thanks for listening. Hope you
enjoyed it.

41:32.720 --> 41:33.720
Take care.

41:33.720 --> 41:34.720
Bye-bye.

41:37.720 --> 41:38.720
Bye-bye.
