“Give It To You” by Jordan Knight

[00:00:00] Hey everybody, it's Chris. If you're a sports fan like me or you're just a fan of a great story,

[00:00:05] you gotta check out Pressbox Access, a sports history podcast hosted by Todd Jones.

[00:00:11] Todd sits down with fellow sports writers who experienced first-hand some of the biggest sports moments of the past 50 years

[00:00:17] and they share some of the stories behind the stories, some of which they've only told to each other.

[00:00:23] What I personally love are the wild stories that you might not hear so much about on Sports Center over the years.

[00:00:28] Like when Indiana-based sports journalist Bob Kravitz recounts the time Bobby Knight showed up making it to an office meeting with him

[00:00:34] and then banned him from the Hoosier's locker room for the next three years because Bob wrote a story he didn't like.

[00:00:39] Or when Alexander Wolf tells a story about going out on the town in Chicago with Dennis Rodman and Carmen Electra in the middle of a Bull's Playoff series.

[00:00:46] Or, when Dan Wetzel talks about what it was like to be in the media room, when Temple Basketball coach John Cheney stormed into U-Mass coach John Calipari's press conference after a game and threatened to kill him.

[00:00:57] These wild and fun stories paired with stories about real sports greatness, you know, like the 1970 Steelers being the greatest NFL dynasty ever.

[00:01:06] Or the legendary rivalry between Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and even the impact of protests for social justice issues in sports make press box access a show you should check out.

[00:01:16] Press box access is part of the Evergreen Podcast family and it's available all the places you get your pods and you can also find press box access on YouTube. Go check it out!

[00:01:27] 5 Years After New Kids On The Block Disbanded, Jordan Knight made a comeback with a lively carnival themed song about Wild Sex.

[00:01:49] The track boasted a memorable video, a contemporary sound, and an irresistible chorus.

[00:01:54] Despite knocking it out of the park with give it to you, Knight fell short in comparison to another former boy band member who ventured into solo territory.

[00:02:02] This week, we explore why the most talented new kid couldn't keep us wet with another hit.

[00:02:09] I'm convinced you won this baby, you know why you can't attack you and you know I can't deny or do it right.

[00:02:19] The one hit is all you need to make the money guaranteed and you can live off royalties forever and it makes me wonder and it shots up wilder ones and one kid.

[00:02:39] I'm looking forward to this episode because you may or may not know.

[00:02:45] I grew up a super huge new kid on the block fan.

[00:02:50] Now, I know I got a few years on you so I don't know how deep you go into new kids but man, I could talk some new kids with you.

[00:02:58] Well, I've been digitizing VHS tapes and I recently just got someone was like I'm getting rid of my entire VHS collection.

[00:03:06] I'm going to drop it off, digitize whatever you want and I digitize this tape and I'm planning to by the time this episode comes out, it's already happened but punchlines play in some shows and I was going to gift this to Jim to give to his wife because it is the new kids on the block hangin' tough music video collections.

[00:03:25] Wow, very nice.

[00:03:27] It has the videos for please don't go girl you got it the right stuff I'll be loving you forever and hangin' tough with little interviews with the boys in between each music video.

[00:03:38] The interviews, that's the good part man.

[00:03:40] The new kids, I went on a rabbit hole of new kids on the block music videos last night.

[00:03:46] I don't even, they have so many songs I love. I actually love their first album a lot. They have songs like Popsicle and Stop It Girl and they have this song called Are You Down?

[00:03:56] Where they like rap and then the chorus is baby won't you please be mine are you down.

[00:04:04] Well, it's so good.

[00:04:06] I think it's easy time becomes weird right like because like as you get further and further away from a point that point in time seems much more smaller.

[00:04:17] So like I think there's a lot of people who think that similarly to say ensync in the backstreet boys where you look back in their career in the grand scheme was like 97 to 99 like they had this like insane two year hot streak of all these hits.

[00:04:34] I think people assume new kids was the same but new kids was like a good decade of like consistent albums and consistent hits throughout their career.

[00:04:44] Yeah, I fell off towards the end.

[00:04:47] I started to outgrow them and by the time step by step came out I was kind of out but that was a hit as well.

[00:04:55] But I gotta tell you we're talking about Jordan night in specific today.

[00:04:58] There was a point in my life where there were you know how they had those big pins like the big circle pins.

[00:05:05] We actually got those made for punchline at some point but I had a big Jordan night one.

[00:05:12] Jordan night was my favorite new kid and so of course I'm gonna like his solo song.

[00:05:19] I mean look the other reverse of that just for the record you're saying like step by step was when you were you know kind of ready to tap out a little bit like obviously that albums coming out and nirvana's about to happen like why would you why would you at that age be like well I could keep listen to new kids or there's this really crazy unique style of music that's happening.

[00:05:42] What's interesting to me is that the new kids on the block broke up in 1994 and then they broke up so that the guys could go on solo do solo projects and what's interesting to me.

[00:05:56] And we're only focusing on Jordan night because this other person also is a one hit wonder as a solo artist but that Jordan and Joey McIntyre both took five years to put out their solo album.

[00:06:09] And they were released almost like a week apart from each other what and in the grand scheme.

[00:06:16] I mean Jordan won this fight like in a big bad way show he's song was really bad and it was not good and Jordan's was so good and it makes sense that it came out when it did they released this music at the height of.

[00:06:33] Britney and back street boys and in sync and everything so they were trying to capitalize they were the for fathers in a way to what those I need to clarify I spoke out of turn a little bit here Joey McKnight single Joey McIntyre sorry then i'm going to keep making that mistake don't worry Joey McIntyre single stay the same also peaked at number 10 both of these songs hit the exact same peak position.

[00:07:02] On the billboard charts but I think long term give it to you has continued to have like a I've literally heard this song like walking around Hershey Park before like it's just like a song that has not like left playlists whereas stay the same very quickly vanished after its time in the in the popular culture.

[00:07:25] Yeah this song I think part of it honestly is it has such a cool intro with that like accordion circus music park kicking it off and then the actual beat to the song is very very similar to like that Timberland influence type of music that was happening in 99 it just felt very modern and contemporary at that time.

[00:07:55] Where you know Joey McIntyre song was more of just a ballot this is like this is a dance pop so I mean it was such a dancing song that it was nominated for best dance video at the nineteen ninety nine video music awards for so much to Ricky Martin's live in the beta loca but.

[00:08:13] Like that is I mean it is a dancey S song and it had a great video I think the video for this song is awesome and not to mention Jordan is talented he was the guy from new kids who sang in falsetto most of the time he had that you know he take the highest parts a little background on Jordan night for anyone who doesn't know who maybe wasn't a new kid offici an auto like myself he from Worcester Massachusetts his parents are Canadian he's the youngest of six children.

[00:08:43] He joined new kids on the block when he was almost 14 with his brother his brother was also there's older brother Jonathan night was in the band as well as Joey McIntyre we talked about Donnie Walberg of course and Danny would the new kids now we're calling for the purpose of this show Jordan night

[00:09:02] and I don't want to wonder but don't be fooled Jordan night was part of selling 80 million albums with new kids on the block and of course he paid away for the back street boys and in sync.

[00:09:14] Give it to you is actually his first solo single in nineteen ninety nine and like Matt said it went to number ten on the hot 100 I assume a lot of times with pop stars that they don't write their songs that is quite the contrary here he was a writer

[00:09:31] on this song along with some heavy hitters James Jimmy Jam Harris and Terry Lewis as well as Robin thick on this song now Matt do you know anything about Jimmy Jam and Terry.

[00:09:46] I don't know I mean I thought you were going to ask me about Robin thick who I did know but no I don't know about Jimmy Jam and or the other name he said yeah tell me tell me so James Jimmy Jam Harris and Terry Lewis they were a song record.

[00:10:00] I mean I don't know about Jimmy Jam Harris and Terry Lewis they were a song writing team together they had sixteen hot 100 number one hits.

[00:10:10] Oh shit and twenty six billboard R&B number one hits do you want to hear their list of number one hits on the hot 100 it's impressive of course I do of course I do let's do this with Janet Jackson alone they produce the following songs when I think of you miss you much

[00:10:28] I'm not a bad guy who's not a bad guy who's not a bad guy who's not a bad guy who's not a bad guy who's not a bad guy who's not a bad guy who's not a bad guy who's not a bad guy who's not a bad guy who's not a bad guy who's not a bad guy who's not a bad guy who's not a bad guy who's not a bad guy who's not a bad guy who's not a bad guy who's not a bad guy who's not a bad guy who's not a bad guy who's not a bad guy who's not a bad guy who's not a bad guy who's not a bad guy who's not a bad guy who's not a bad guy who's not a bad guy who's not a bad guy who's not a bad guy who's not a bad guy who's not a bad guy who's not a bad guy who's not a bad guy who's not a bad guy who's not a bad guy who's not a bad guy who's not a bad

[00:10:58] Four seasons of loneliness, which is a very like strange one that went to number one for like one week.

[00:11:04] Mariah Carey's thank god I found you and ushers you remind me so I mean those are some big songs for sure

[00:11:15] What I think is interesting though about those is that

[00:11:21] A lot of them from the list that you just ran down

[00:11:25] feel like by

[00:11:28] 1999 when they're doing Jordan night like that they they had already done a lot of their best work

[00:11:34] You know, I mean like we're talking about a lot of like late 80s into early 90s

[00:11:38] Songs on that on that resume. Yeah, so I'm wondering if that was kind of the appeal too for Jordan night was like

[00:11:45] Hey, these are some guys who had hits at the time that I was having hits

[00:11:49] maybe we can both like

[00:11:51] Pop each other back off back up on this thing. I mean maybe but the usher and those

[00:12:00] Some of those Janet songs were kind of like mid to late 90s these weren't they were

[00:12:05] They weren't washed up at this point by any means

[00:12:08] Not saying washed up

[00:12:09] I'm just saying it sounds like the heaviest of the heavy hitters was more in that like maybe five years earlier

[00:12:14] And then they had like the loyal the loyal artists that kept coming back to them like Janet keeping them yeah

[00:12:20] Gullin but I mean that's that's an impressive ass resume for sure yeah right there

[00:12:26] But I mean that's they've worked with two of your favorite artists of all time yeah definitely and

[00:12:33] And two Jordan nights credit. He was working with them

[00:12:36] He has credited as a songwriter on the song

[00:12:38] He isn't just performing a song that someone else wrote this song of course like you said Matt

[00:12:43] I love the circus elements of it. I love the

[00:12:47] The beat of the song

[00:12:49] That it's very much a different type of pop song and it's not very straightforward

[00:12:54] It's a lot of fun to listen to and on top of that

[00:12:59] So you have legions of fans of Jordan night who are who are gonna be into the fact that a guy from a band they grew up listening to has a song out

[00:13:09] He's really good looking. He's a great dancer and this song is sexual as hell

[00:13:15] Boy is it yeah, this is like one of the dirtiest songs without actually saying

[00:13:22] Like the dirty parts although some of these words can definitely be

[00:13:27] be

[00:13:28] interpreted in different ways

[00:13:31] You know you look at these lyrics like you say it's been too long since you had some

[00:13:36] You say I turn you on like a fire that's burning inside

[00:13:40] Like there's these really obvious things now

[00:13:43] The room we get to there's a line in the next part where it's like this is undeniable what he's talking about

[00:13:50] He says it's creeping around in your head me holding you down in my bed like

[00:13:55] There's no other way to interpret that unless you think he's wrestling. Wow

[00:13:59] He's bender yeah

[00:14:02] The the funniest part I think and if you watch the music video

[00:14:06] He almost nods to the camera when he says I'm coming

[00:14:12] You know if you watch the music video when he says I'm coming watch the face he makes to the camera when he says that

[00:14:18] And also what I think is so funny Matt. I was like oh man the people on the genius lyrics had to have a field day with this song

[00:14:25] Right there is only one line in the song that was highlighted that you could click on and that line was

[00:14:32] Anyone can make you sweat, but I can keep you wet and oh when I clicked on it it says

[00:14:39] Keep you wet is most likely a reference to the increased lubrication of the female vagina during sexual arousal

[00:14:46] In case in case you needed clarification on what he meant

[00:17:44] So

[00:17:45] Jordanite has this hit

[00:17:47] We love it. We still love it to this day

[00:17:49] Love that you heard it at amusement park for kids

[00:17:53] Yep, definitely did yeah

[00:17:55] Robin fixer writer on it as well

[00:17:58] His self titled album ended up going gold which

[00:18:02] Yep

[00:18:03] That's good

[00:18:04] But when you were a new kid on the block who sold 80 million albums

[00:18:07] I could see how that can be considered a

[00:18:11] Failure to a certain extent a little bit of a disappointment yet he was so

[00:18:16] His career is very interesting

[00:18:18] I feel like because like we said new kids break up in 94 he takes five years to do this first solo album

[00:18:25] Then it's another five years actually it's longer. It's seven years

[00:18:30] Until the second album comes out and that has like a very minor adult contemporary song that he did

[00:18:35] It was a duet with Deborah Gibson called say goodbye

[00:18:40] And then right around that time is when new kids reunites and they do like a tour with the backstreet boys and all this stuff

[00:18:46] And that ends in 2011 and then at that point

[00:18:50] Another five years after the previous solo album he puts out

[00:18:54] What I believe is his most recent solo album was in 2011 yeah

[00:19:00] Then I wrote down this was just me giving some notes but he did a collaboration with Nick Carter

[00:19:06] And they released an album called nick and night

[00:19:09] And I'm like why not call it nick at night like

[00:19:12] Like what

[00:19:13] Like it just seems to make more sense to me

[00:19:16] Than just nick and night like that's not a it's not a common phrase

[00:19:21] Maybe they couldn't yeah, I do want to know

[00:19:24] I want to take it back to the debut album for a second map

[00:19:27] But did you see what the second single was from this album?

[00:19:31] No

[00:19:32] The second single from this album was a cover a ballad version of my favorite print song I could never take the place of your man

[00:19:42] Oh

[00:19:43] It's my favorite print song but it didn't do well

[00:19:45] Yeah, it didn't and

[00:19:47] I wish he would have done an upbeat version of it that song is such a fun upbeat song

[00:19:53] Which is what I love about it and he did a slow

[00:19:57] Ballad of it. I don't know why it was such a weird choice

[00:20:01] There's always the chance

[00:20:04] That especially at this point there's always the chance where they're telling

[00:20:10] I'm not sure how many of the backstreet boys are and sync albums you've listened to

[00:20:14] But if you listen to the full albums

[00:20:16] There's in the 90s there was a very clear thing where it's like half of these songs need to be club hits half of these songs need to be balanced

[00:20:24] And I'm wondering if it was just literally

[00:20:27] All right, we've got five dance songs. I want to cover this print song. I guess we could

[00:20:31] Retro fit it to be one of the ballads because even when you look at some of the releases it's like

[00:20:37] You know they would have say

[00:20:40] Um as long as you love me and quit playing games with my heart which are like really bound like poppy songs

[00:20:46] But then it'll be like I'll never break your heart as like the next single where it's like okay

[00:20:51] Here's like the love song, but now we're gonna do like backstreet's back like we're going back to the dance song

[00:20:56] So it was like you almost had to prove that you could do both things and I mean

[00:21:00] It's not a bad idea for the second single to be an already established

[00:21:05] Hit song to give you that extra edge

[00:21:08] But it I agree taking a song that is so poppy like I could never

[00:21:12] Like upbeat and fun as I could never take the place of your man and like slow in it down seems like a bad call

[00:21:18] Like no one's gonna listen to it and be like this is better right and also

[00:21:22] That is not one of the print songs that

[00:21:26] People know. I mean, it was a it was a popular early print song

[00:21:30] But it's not one that has like really stood the test of time for the average person

[00:21:35] You know, it's not 1999

[00:21:37] It's not let's go crazy. It's not raspberry beret

[00:21:39] So yeah probably a lot of people

[00:21:42] Kids that are hearing that song at that time don't even know the prince version of this song

[00:21:46] Just the whole thing was confusing it does make sense to me what you're saying about following the formula of oh

[00:21:52] You did the the dance pop song now. Let's bring the emotional song out so that makes sense

[00:21:58] Let's talk real quick because I have to say this song peaks at number 10 on May 15 1999

[00:22:05] And I've said this a couple times before on the show, but I mean it extra hard this time

[00:22:09] What a stacked top five we are looking at yeah where all five songs that are in the top five are

[00:22:16] Songs that you will still hear walking through a grocery store or whatever we at at number five believe from share

[00:22:24] Number four every morning from sugar a number three kiss me from six pence none the richer

[00:22:30] Number two no scrubs from TLC and number one

[00:22:34] He lost to him for the best dance video and he's also losing to him on the charts

[00:22:38] Ricky Martin would live in the Vita loca

[00:22:41] He stepped right into the storm of living La Vita loca

[00:22:44] Which you know the flip side is

[00:22:47] This there is a story here right?

[00:22:49] It's two different artists from boy bands from the nine 80s and 90s

[00:22:55] Going solo and Ricky Martin definitely had the far longer lasting and successful of those solo careers

[00:23:02] Why do you think live in la Vita loca

[00:23:06] Resonated harder with people than give it to you did

[00:23:11] So I was gonna say that it was different than what you were hearing on the radio

[00:23:16] But I would say that the same is with give it to you. I think live in the Vita loca

[00:23:21] It's a couple things all right. I think live in the Vita loca a

[00:23:25] has

[00:23:27] Just so many hooks to it

[00:23:29] It is a catchy ass song

[00:23:31] I also think the chorus to that song is way catchier than the chorus to give it to you

[00:23:35] I like give it to you a lot

[00:23:38] But like I have to look at the lyrics for some of it. You know, it's like baby

[00:23:41] No, I could give it to you

[00:23:43] but

[00:23:45] Like it's like the words kind of fall apart in the melody comes in

[00:23:48] But I know the like upside inside

[00:23:52] Living a Vita

[00:23:54] Maybe it was a time where people wanted

[00:23:57] The Latin sound

[00:23:58] Lively La Vita loca is

[00:24:01] A little more over the top

[00:24:03] I mean give it to use kind of over the top

[00:24:05] But it's also still a little more on the

[00:24:08] R&B side of things whereas I was gonna say is just hit you over the head hard

[00:24:15] Well, and like this is going to sound really weird and this is obviously a very big stretch right but like

[00:24:20] give it to you

[00:24:22] was

[00:24:23] um

[00:24:24] It's undeniably a pop song like when you're trying to figure out like what category it falls into

[00:24:29] It's like it's a pop song with like some R&B or

[00:24:33] R&B

[00:24:34] Influenza and like the beat has like a little bit of like what was happening and like down south hip hop like in the in the background track

[00:24:43] I feel like Ricky Martin like really hit with that specific song hit this thing where it feels

[00:24:50] Like it was one of those songs that could work on almost any radio station

[00:24:54] Like I remember as a kid who didn't like pop music and was listening to a lot of like

[00:24:59] punk rock and scab music

[00:25:01] There was something about that song that I was still like this song's pretty cool like

[00:25:05] And I don't know if it was because I was a scoffan and there was the horns or I don't know if it was because it had that surf guitar

[00:25:10] Going throughout it or whatever but like

[00:25:14] If I was listening to the alternative radio station

[00:25:18] They never played either one of these songs

[00:25:20] But I feel like they could have gotten away with playing the Ricky Martin song with what

[00:25:24] was happening in like rock radio at that time where they couldn't

[00:25:28] With give it to you right like because like this is right around when scow was at its peak

[00:25:33] This is like right around when like kind of the surfy guitar and swing revival and all that stuff has like

[00:25:39] Just happens where you've got this pop song that feels like you could play it between like a mighty mighty boss tone song

[00:25:48] And and something else on a rock station and it wouldn't be like that out of character

[00:25:53] But if you like just randomly drop this Jordan night song in the middle of

[00:25:57] Everything that could be a problem and the other issue is I think less people really knew and cared about Manudo

[00:26:05] in

[00:26:06] 1999 then people still very much cared about new kids on the block in

[00:26:11] 19 like I think well wouldn't I cause advantage to Jordan then

[00:26:15] Well, what I mean though is like I learned about Ricky Martin being from Manudo

[00:26:20] After the fact and like almost kind of having to learn who Manudo was right

[00:26:25] So I could just see him as a solo artist where everything about Jordan night going solo was like the guy from new kids is doing

[00:26:33] The something it was like he couldn't escape that he was part of new kids on the block

[00:26:37] So it was like there were gonna be people who probably would have loved this song

[00:26:42] Who already had a preconceived? I don't like boy bands. I don't like new kids on the block who are just like

[00:26:48] Not gonna give this song a chance no matter what because they knew that it was the new kids guy

[00:26:52] That's my guess gotcha

[00:26:54] This was really at the height of the pop thing when you look at what give it to you was above in the charts at this moment

[00:27:01] When it peaked at 10

[00:27:03] Baby one more time for Britney Spears was at 24

[00:27:06] Salah V from your girls bewitched was at 32

[00:27:09] Yeah, the bewitch girls

[00:27:11] I mean there's other things too and hear that that don't impress me much from Shania Twain

[00:27:16] I want it that way from actually boys was at number 23 at this time

[00:27:21] Can I get a from Jay Z was 38 at this time, you know

[00:27:26] Another one hit Thunder Pass episode saved tonight for me Goli cherry was at number 35

[00:27:32] It was very very pop heavy in these charts now. Yeah

[00:27:35] Those scrubs and livin will be be to loka aside and even share

[00:27:39] Even share was going over the top with the pop at this time

[00:27:43] Yeah, I mean and I still think that song believe is a masterpiece. I love listen that song

[00:27:48] um

[00:27:49] But Chris I gotta ask you question you got a game for me. I do have a game for you

[00:27:53] Oh, let's have a game time then real quick don't always count on me having a game for you

[00:27:58] But you you must have known something today you can't always count on it, but I do have one

[00:28:03] uh

[00:28:04] This one is all about the time

[00:28:06] When give it to you was at its peak that is may of 1999 you will get okay

[00:28:13] Absolutely zero multiple choices because I think there's a chance

[00:28:19] That you could run the table on this you think that every time but then you asked me like who was born on a certain day

[00:28:26] And I'm like, I don't fucking know. I do think you could do very good. You got six six questions

[00:28:32] Coming up. I'm gonna go with what I said last time. I succeeded

[00:28:35] I think in that so let's go again with I can get four out of six. Okay on May 1st of 1999

[00:28:42] This show debuted on Nickelodeon

[00:28:46] May 1st 1999 show debuted on Nickelodeon um

[00:28:52] Would have been in middle school seventh maybe eighth grade

[00:28:58] That seems too late for

[00:29:01] All that all that would have been a year or two prior I feel like um

[00:29:11] Can I ask if it's live action or animate it no

[00:29:15] Okay

[00:29:17] All right, so let's see Nickelodeon 1999 was this SpongeBob Squarepants sure was

[00:29:23] All right there you go

[00:29:25] On May 4th of 1999

[00:29:28] This Brendan Frazier movie premiered in the US

[00:29:33] Oh man he had a lot of movies in this time period somewhere hits

[00:29:38] Somewhere fumbles

[00:29:40] But I'm pretty sure that if you're asking it's not because it was something like George of the jungle or Dudley

[00:29:47] Do right this would have been the prime time for the mummy. You got it

[00:29:52] Too for two I told you you might be able to run the table here

[00:29:57] On May 19th of 1999

[00:30:00] This movie that features you and McGregor is released

[00:30:05] Okay, this movie you and McGregor

[00:30:07] I'm gonna take a swing on this. I feel like this was a two thousand an early two thousand movie not a

[00:30:13] 1999 movie but was it Mulan Rouge? No

[00:30:16] Ah

[00:30:18] It was Star Wars episode one the Phantom Menace. Oh yeah boo. Yeah

[00:30:24] All right, you got two points still on May 23rd of 1999

[00:30:30] This tragedy happened at the Kemper Arena in Kansas City

[00:30:38] Fuck um, I honestly don't know

[00:30:42] Uh

[00:30:43] When I was a kid the only tragedies that ever really came into my mind by middle school was like Columbine shooting and

[00:30:51] Like the will you know September 11th then it became a lot more frequent after that

[00:30:56] Do you need the specific or can I just say like there was a bombing?

[00:30:59] You can

[00:31:01] Be vague if you want but I feel like there was a bombing somewhere in the museum

[00:31:06] All right, that was oh and heart died after falling 75

[00:31:10] Oh Jesus. Yeah, that was bad. That was bad. I was going for something way more try

[00:31:14] I hear the word tragedy now and my brain goes to like

[00:31:18] multiple

[00:31:19] Multiple people dead

[00:31:21] All right next question

[00:31:23] Okay, so you got two still right? Yeah, and I got two questions left. I have to get both good luck on this one

[00:31:30] I don't know on May 27th of

[00:31:32] 1999

[00:31:34] This French American singer and actress who is the daughter of a famous actor and recently starred in an HBO series was born

[00:31:45] Ha

[00:31:46] All right, so now that I know that this was a was born question. Can you read the stats of

[00:31:52] About them real quick. Okay

[00:31:54] She was born on May 27th of

[00:31:56] 1999

[00:31:57] So she's 25. Got she's a French American singer and actress

[00:32:02] French American singer and actually she's the daughter of a famous actor

[00:32:06] Daughter of famous actor and she recently starred in an HBO series

[00:32:11] So recently started an HBO series

[00:32:13] Now my brain the only HBO series that I can think of the people we're talking about recently was true detective

[00:32:18] And I don't know any I didn't watch true detective the only person I know and that is Jodie Fauster who this is clearly not about

[00:32:25] So now I'm trying to think of what

[00:32:28] French Canadian

[00:32:30] Not Canadian

[00:32:32] Oh, sorry French American French American with French American 24-year-olds with a famous mother famous father

[00:32:41] Sorry famous father actor

[00:32:44] I don't think I'm gonna hit my four. Who is it? It is Lily Rose dep

[00:32:49] See and I didn't even know Lily Rose dep did anything was she in true detective? No, I write about the show

[00:32:55] She was on that show the idol with the weekend one of the worst shows ever

[00:32:59] Although it's one of the worst shows ever but I will say that new season of true detective. It is terrible

[00:33:04] I've got no horse in the race and no opinion

[00:33:07] Moving on last question. I've already lost, but let's see yeah. We'll see if you can get this one

[00:33:12] On June 1st of 1999

[00:33:15] This album was released which debuted at number nine on the billboard 200

[00:33:20] And this album was also released on the same day that Napster was launched

[00:33:26] June 1st

[00:33:28] 1999

[00:33:32] Trying to think here because obviously as you know

[00:33:36] At the beginning of every year

[00:33:38] I look up like every single anniversary thing so I'm trying to think of albums that would be having a 25-year anniversary

[00:33:46] And I'm coming up blank right now. Let me

[00:33:50] Let me think

[00:33:52] Wait a second. Okay, okay

[00:33:55] Let me think about why you'd be asking me this question. Yeah, you should know this

[00:33:59] What was the second part of that you said?

[00:34:02] So just by chance

[00:34:03] This album was also released the same day that Napster. Oh, okay, so that has nothing to do with it

[00:34:08] No, not really. It's just it debuted at number nine on the billboard 200

[00:34:12] Okay, I'm gonna take a swing at this

[00:34:15] I feel like this came out sooner than this because I remember everyone being obsessed with it in school and June 1st

[00:34:20] We would have been like finishing school

[00:34:22] But was that when anima the state from blink came out? Yep

[00:34:26] What an album got it. I was there before the gates came up at

[00:34:30] National record mark to

[00:34:32] To go get my copy that day

[00:34:35] Let me ask you a weird question

[00:34:37] Sure

[00:34:38] Just because we brought up and we're obviously never gonna do a blink when any two episode of one hit thunder

[00:34:42] I know a lot of people who think that is without competition their best album

[00:34:45] I don't agree with that, but I'm curious where how do you feel about that album?

[00:34:50] Their second best and I think it's ridiculous that I think the dude ranch is the best

[00:34:55] But I just think dude ranch is the best because at that point

[00:34:59] The songs are their most relatable. They seem to be coming from the heart the most like there

[00:35:04] Okay, I think I like the melodies the most obviously they got a way better drummer after that and the cool the sonic quality of the album

[00:35:11] Albums after that is way higher, but dude ranch. I think is the most

[00:35:16] relatable especially at the time they were just relatable to a teenage guy

[00:35:22] My problem with dude ranch which like I do love that album

[00:35:26] I feel like it's top heavy. I feel like the first like

[00:35:31] Tret like those early tracks are a lot stronger than like the last couple for me

[00:35:36] For me my favorite's always been take your pants off and jacket

[00:35:39] I just think that that has I mean it's got some of their were songs for sure like rock show is not a particularly good song

[00:35:45] But like the the deeper cuts in that like reckless abandoned and every time I look at you and

[00:35:51] Like there's just some really good songs on that album and I always talk about

[00:35:55] For me

[00:35:56] I love that like in between record where like you can tell that they're starting to shift their sound

[00:36:01] But they haven't fully did it and I feel like that album feels like it's

[00:36:05] Half them still doing

[00:36:07] Enemies of the state and half like them leaning into what they're like

[00:36:11] Later music and side projects would sound like so I think it causes like a cool. It's why I like the bends so much

[00:36:16] Like bends feels like it's half

[00:36:18] Creep in half like okay computer smashed into like a weird hybrid. I love the bends

[00:36:24] Hey, I put the bends over all I put that over okay computer

[00:36:27] I think it's a better overall listening experience. It's really good

[00:36:31] Hey, I made a note to myself to open this up and talk to you real quick because

[00:36:35] We got into June 1st of 1999 99

[00:36:39] I want to just read off to you the things from June of 1999

[00:36:43] Maybe we should do a whole episode about June of 1999 at some point

[00:36:47] Because it starts with blink releasing

[00:36:51] Edema the state on June 1st and Napster being launched on June 1st

[00:36:55] On June okay, I'm gonna good. I'm opening

[00:36:57] I decided to also open up my June or my my June folder and this is like all of the things throughout all the other albums

[00:37:04] There's another equally important album that came out on June 1st 1999 for me and you. What's that?

[00:37:10] Do you know what compilation came out that day

[00:37:13] compilation

[00:37:17] Ah no

[00:37:19] Short music for short people the 100 songs all under 30 seconds. Can I love that out? Yeah, the blinks on that

[00:37:27] I think yeah he's on that too

[00:37:29] One of the best green day songs is on that actually that's own rules. That's a good song

[00:37:34] June 2nd

[00:37:35] Of 1989 the back street boys smash the first week sales record of Garth Brooks

[00:37:41] 0.08 million when millennium came out which sold over 1.13 million in its first week

[00:37:48] That was a huge record. Yeah, that was a very big album

[00:37:51] Yeah, June 22nd Christina Aguilera releases Genie in the bottle which became a worldwide hit selling over 7 million copies

[00:37:58] That same day libiscus second album significant other debuts at number one on the billboard 200 selling

[00:38:05] 643,000 copies in its first week

[00:38:09] You know we talk a lot about how like 94 was a great time to be a band but

[00:38:15] 1999 wasn't a bad time to be a band in the city industry either

[00:38:19] It was just before Napster started to make those sales dwindle a little

[00:38:23] To be a band and then

[00:38:25] June 28th of that year Britney Spears leaves on her baby one more time tour which actually went to

[00:38:32] And then on June 29th

[00:38:35] Santana and how Rob Thomas released smooth

[00:38:39] What what a song the only other ones that I have in here as I'm looking at my June

[00:38:44] 1999 calendar here is

[00:38:47] June 8th 1999

[00:38:49] Smash mouth releases the

[00:38:51] Astro lounge album with all star on it and Red Hot Chili Peppers release California Cation which I think ended up being their biggest

[00:38:59] selling record at that time

[00:39:02] vertical horizon put out their album in June 15th

[00:39:07] uh, and then there's a lot of more movie stuff in 99 than album stuff significant other like you said from

[00:39:13] From Limp Biscuit and

[00:39:16] Obviously one of the most important albums of all time came out two of the most important albums of all time came out on June 29th 1999

[00:39:24] Of course, I'm referring to

[00:39:26] Slipknot self-titled album with wait and bleed and weird owls running with scissors featuring the saga again

[00:39:32] I thought you were gonna say sash Jordan

[00:39:35] Sash Jordan. Yeah, sash Jordan put out it

[00:39:36] I only have one sash Jordan album as much as I love

[00:39:40] The album rats. I never bothered to hear what the rest of her music sounds like

[00:39:45] We really got off away far away. Hey, you know Jordan that's fine

[00:39:50] But really it back into Jordan night

[00:39:53] I I listened to his

[00:39:55] 2011 album unfinished he has a song that he has a music video for called Stingy

[00:40:01] Which features Donnie Walberg and Donnie's like wearing a ridiculous white fedora and he's kind of just like

[00:40:10] Singing I wouldn't call it wrapping necessarily, but

[00:40:14] Donnie Walberg's pretty cringe in that video, but

[00:40:18] I the song wasn't too bad. I think it's really funny to base a song around the word Stingy

[00:40:25] Stingy such a first one I saw it. I'm like stingy

[00:40:29] Why is this on called stingy? I'm like oh, yeah, wait a second. Stingy is a word

[00:40:33] But other than that I mean

[00:40:36] When it comes to thunder or blunder for Jordan night

[00:40:39] Ah

[00:40:41] The dude has just had way too many hits in his other project and I like this song too much

[00:40:50] To call him anything other than thunder even I'm right there with you. I was gonna say the exact same thing is like this might be

[00:41:00] Well, I mean we just talked about Ricky Martin for 10 minutes

[00:41:02] But in my opinion, this is the best solo song from a former boy

[00:41:09] like like I would put give it to you over literally any Justin Timberlake solo track

[00:41:15] Oh my mind. Okay, I think that this is an incredible solo track. That's a good question

[00:41:22] Is this the best ever solo song by a guy from a boy band now remember

[00:41:30] new edition

[00:41:33] It's considered man as your here. I'm gonna yep

[00:41:36] I mean my words already because that song from ghost bus. I do for Bobby Brown

[00:41:39] Yeah, that's the best never mind. That's the best

[00:41:43] David how did you get to remind me about new edition and Bobby Brown?

[00:41:47] Yeah, don't forget hey, and it's really disrespectful of us to not

[00:41:52] give

[00:41:53] New addition all the credit in the world for the boy band thing because all these white boy bands

[00:42:00] You know took what they did

[00:42:03] And you know achieved even more success not that new edition didn't achieve a lot of success

[00:42:09] and a lot of people everybody from belby of devote came from

[00:42:13] New addition, and then of course Bobby Brown and all the all the guys had solo careers

[00:42:19] After that all the other guys Johnny Gill and Ralph Trezvan even had a

[00:42:24] Had a hit after that but um

[00:42:27] Yeah, so I guess we shot that down

[00:42:29] But it's definitely up there. I think I agree with you that I probably like

[00:42:33] Give it to you better than any Justin Timberlake song

[00:42:36] Definitely like it better than any other new kids and then did anybody else from like back street boys? No, right?

[00:42:43] No, not that I know of I'm sure maybe they tried yeah, but they didn't like I just think this is a very good song

[00:42:49] Yeah, it's I am honestly bummed it didn't

[00:42:53] Peak higher than 10 because this to me sounds like a number one hit

[00:42:57] To my to my music loving ears, but oh well

[00:43:01] You know I guess what we're trying to say is Jordan night. We're gonna give it to you

[00:43:04] Yeah, we're gonna give it to you don't we're gonna give to you a certified thunder
