Podcast appearances and mentions of Simon Fuller

Before she rocks out on stage next month at Mighty Hoopla festival, British singer-songwriter Amy Studt takes a special trip down memory lane with Joel and David, reminiscing on her anthemic 2000s smash 'Misfit' and every aspect of her landmark debut album "False Smiles", the Gold-certified album which spawned four singles - including two UK Top 10 hits. Where the US market had Avril Lavigne and Hilary Duff, we were channelling all our teenage angst with Amy! Amy's rise to pop stardom sounds like something straight out of a movie. Enter a "grungy teen" from a seaside English town who loved to write songs, plucked from obscurity by music svengali Simon Fuller (the man behind Spice Girls and S Club 7) and placed in the studio with some of the industry's best pop songwriters and producers. Cue Karen Poole, Yak Bondy, David Eriksen, Cathy Dennis, Gary Barlow, Eliot Kennedy, and Rob Davis. This conversation is a real nostalgic snapshot of a teen pop star's life in the early 2000s. From legendary 19 Management Christmas parties with Amy Winehouse, Pop Idol stars and S Club 7, through to "CD:UK" and extravagant overseas music video shoots... and even the curious case of a Sheryl Crow cover. Proving she's so much more than 'Just A Little Girl', Amy also talks about how her artistry has evolved over the years with the 2008 alt-pop gem "My Paper Made Men" and avant-garde 2019 "Happiest Girl In The Universe" - and what's next for her.

In this Daze in Court episode, Foley's List barristers Rohan Hoult and Simon Fuller sit down alongside solicitor Raffaella Oliva from Hope Earle Lawyers to share and discuss some papers they have written. Raffaella explores adult children seeking access to their parent's file, drawing from her article Through the Looking Glass. Simon delves into the strategic use of third parties in property proceedings. 

This episode's Style DNA guest is the Best-Selling and multi award winning English Singer, Businesswoman, Model and Actress - the truly fabulous Rachel Stevens. Rachel is best known as one seventh of one of the largest pop bands of the noughties,  S Club 7. Rachel tells me about her sliding doors moment when she was in the right place at the right time to audition for the band and the rest, they say, is history. She was just 19 years old when the band was formed by the brilliant Simon Fuller and by her own admission it was not the easiest time in her home life, S Club provided a "huge and exciting escape". Did she know who she was? Perhaps not...the 90's were high octane but behind the glossiness she had her vulnerabilities and in her words she was "playing a part". The process of writing her recently published book Finding my Voice - A story of Strength, Self-Belief and S Club 7  was clearly a cathartic process. I ask her about finding her own stylistic identity within the group and it is clear that she has always had a passion for fashion and a really clear vision as to what she likes and what works on her... and being a diminutive 5 foot tall has also made her critically aware of proportion. This has stood her in good stead for her collaborations with various fashion brands ...work that she clearly loves.Of course we discuss all of her various costumes from S Club to Dancing on Ice to Strictly and how her clothes have always been part of her performance ..."style is a silent communicator"...so true.It hasn't all been perfect ...she recalls wearing a yellow Julien McDonald dress for the Brits which was not her finest style moment...I couldn't help but ask her about being voted FHMs Sexiest Woman of all time in 2014...quite an accolade whilst being a lot of live up to! She chats about loving the collaborative process of working on the shoots for FHM, how they were done with integrity and how she was fully in control of her sexy image. Refreshing to hear. I hope you enjoy this episode. Thank you Rachel for being such a great guest x

In part two of our Spice Girls special, we delve into the cinematic and commercial heights of the Spice Girls' career, starting with the chaotic yet iconic Spice World: The Movie. Despite its campy charm being savaged by critics, the film became a box office hit and a cultural touchstone, embodying the group's playful energy. From its frantic production schedule to its critical reappraisal as a beloved spoof, the film marked a defining moment for the group, proving their ability to thrive even under immense pressure. We also explore the Spice Girls' relentless work ethic during the Spiceworld era. Writing and recording an album while filming a feature movie, they churned out hits like "Stop" and "Spice Up Your Life," topping charts and setting records. Their decision to fire manager Simon Fuller and take control of their careers, while shocking at the time, highlighted their determination to remain true to themselves amidst the chaos of global fame. The episode reflects on the personal sacrifices that came with their meteoric rise. From homesickness to the pressures of constant media scrutiny, the toll of superstardom is revealed through candid accounts from the members themselves. Yet, their resilience shone through, as they continued to break records, perform to sold-out crowds, and connect with fans worldwide. Fast-forwarding to their reunions, we discuss how the Spice Girls' legacy continues to captivate. Whether through electrifying reunion tours, Olympic performances, or their influence on new generations of pop stars, their message of empowerment and individuality endures. Even Victoria Beckham's birthday celebration sparked rumors of yet another reunion, proving that the Spice Girls' magic remains timeless. Finally, we reflect on their lasting cultural impact. From redefining what it meant to be a girl group to spearheading the “girl power” movement, the Spice Girls inspired millions with their boldness, diversity, and unity. Their journey, filled with triumphs and challenges, cements their status as not just pop icons but as a phenomenon that changed the face of music and culture forever.

We've arrived for a big one! We're going back to the 90s when the Spice Girls formed to recount their journey. This is part one of a two part special. The Spice Girls' journey began on March 4, 1994, when 400 hopefuls answered an ad to form a girl group. Over time, the group's lineup evolved, culminating in the iconic quintet: Mel B, Mel C, Victoria, Geri, and Emma. Early rehearsals, demos, and auditions set the stage for their rise, though challenges like lineup changes and disagreements with management revealed their determination to chart their own path. As they found their footing, the Spice Girls staged a daring escape from management control, reclaiming their music and signing with Simon Fuller. His strategic moves, including their electrifying showcase at Virgin Records, propelled them into the public eye. Industry insiders couldn't resist the charisma and energy of these five women, leading to a competitive bidding war that secured their record deal and launched their debut single, Wannabe. The making of Wannabe reflected the Spice Girls' quirky creativity and tenacity, with their patchwork approach to songwriting and their insistence on perfection during production. Despite initial doubts, the track became a global sensation, marking the start of “Spicemania.” By the end of 1996, the group's infectious energy, chart-topping hits, and bold personalities had captured the hearts of fans and critics alike. Integral to their success was the concept of “girl power,” a rallying cry for individuality, empowerment, and camaraderie. The term, championed by Geri Halliwell, struck a chord with audiences worldwide, offering a spirited counterpoint to the male-dominated pop culture of the time. This ethos cemented the Spice Girls as more than a band—they became a cultural phenomenon. As the decade closed, the Spice Girls had achieved unprecedented global success. From record-breaking album sales to unforgettable moments like Geri's Union Jack dress at the Brit Awards, they dominated the music and fashion landscapes. With Spiceworld: The Movie on the horizon, the Spice Girls' meteoric rise was far from over—proving they weren't just a pop group but a pop culture revolution.

In this episode, we take you on a nostalgic journey through the vibrant story of S Club 7, the iconic British pop group that took the world by storm in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Formed by the legendary music manager Simon Fuller, S Club 7 quickly became a household name with their catchy hits, infectious energy, and a unique blend of music and television. Join us as we explore the group's meteoric rise to fame, their impact on pop culture, and their enduring legacy. Our journey begins with the formation of S Club 7 in 1998.

We'll discuss their early days, the rigorous training and preparation, and the launch of their debut single "Bring It All Back," which skyrocketed to the top of the UK charts and set the stage for their global success. Next, we explore the unique fusion of music and television that set S Club 7 apart from other pop acts. Their TV show, "Miami 7," premiered in 1999 and followed the group's fictionalised adventures in Miami, blending humor, drama, and music. This innovative format not only showcased their talents but also endeared them to millions of fans worldwide.  As S Club 7's popularity soared, so did their achievements. We'll recount their impressive discography, featuring hits like "S Club Party," "Reach," and "Don't Stop Movin'," which became anthems for a generation. The group won numerous awards and embarked on sold-out tours. However, their journey was not without challenges, including Paul Cattermole's departure in 2002 and the eventual disbandment in 2003. We'll examine these pivotal moments and their impact on the group and their fans. Finally, we reflect on the legacy and reunion of S Club 7. Despite their split, the group's music continued to resonate, and their influence remained strong. In 2014, they delighted fans with a highly anticipated reunion tour, "Bring It All Back," celebrating their enduring appeal and timeless hits. We'll discuss the lasting impact of S Club 7 on pop culture, their contributions to the music and television landscape, and their place in the hearts of fans old and new. Tune in for a heartfelt tribute to a pop phenomenon that brought joy and inspiration to millions around the world.

Before ‘The X Factor' and ‘The Voice', there was ‘Pop Idol', the ITV behemoth that spawned Simon Fuller's global mega-hit ‘American Idol'.  Season One climaxed on 9th February, 2002, when Gareth Gates - a 17-year-old former head chorister - and Will Young - a politely-spoken 23-year-old alumnus of Wellington College - slugged it out for the title of Pop Idol champion. Britain was captivated as the public strove to choose their favourite cover version of an unreleased Westlife album track - with over 15 million people tuning in, and 8.7 million casting their votes via telephone. Will emerged as the winner, but perhaps the real winner was the format - which centred the Judges, particularly ‘Nasty' Simon Cowell, in a way that would inspire dozens of talent show successors. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly recall how producer Nigel Lythgoe ramped up the ‘battle' element of the competition with rosettes and battle buses; consider the homophobic coverage of Young's sexuality in the mainstream media; and reveal Rebecca's place in Pop Idol history…  Further Reading: • ‘And your new Pop Idol is...

Thank for clicking or downloading on today's episode with Marcia Hines. We will be talking about her fabulous return to Australian Idol last night Having taken a break for well over a decade Channel Seven has reimagined the old format and brought the nostalgia back for all those that grew up with Idol as their first singing based reality show.   Idol originated from the reality program Pop Idol, which was created by British entertainment executive Simon Fuller. Which has given us artists like Guy Sebastian, Rob Mills, Courtney Act and Pauline. Just to name a couple of my favourites.    No matter what you heard about last years soft reboot of the show. I guarantee if you check out episode one you will be addicted.   Marcia Hines returning has brought experience and insight to the 2024 panel. That rounds out the right balance of judges improving drastically from last years miss step with Harry Coinnick Jr and Megan Trainor.  This years promising young vocalists will also sing in from of Kyle Sandilands and Amy Shark who have really found their feet when it comes to giving critics on the contestants.  There is so much to unpack with Marcia, from how the opportunity came up to return? Who out of the former judges (Mark holden and Ian 'Dicko' Dickson) she still speaks too. Plus how the show has changed and why some conflict is important. I will ask about her relationship with Kyle Sandilands and why competition based reality shows have thrown our their tired stereotype's when it comes to judging. Anyway, let's bring Marcia into the podcast, so sit back and relax as we dive just that little bit deeper into the world of Australian television. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Peter's last episode, he discussed an example of what's wrong in the NFT world from the creative community's perspective - specifically, OpenSea's prioritization of buyers and sellers over the Creators that built the value of its marketplace in the first place.

Wir wandern heute ins United Kingdom des Jahres 1997 und zu dem Hype, der damals die gesamte britische und internationale Musiklandschaft bewegt hat. Nein, ihr kleinen Britpop-Schnösel: Nicht Oasis oder Blur, sondern eine Musikindustriepflanze war es, die das ausgehende britische Musikjahrzehnt definierte. Und man muss wirklich dabei gewesen sein, um zu verstehen, welche Wellen der Spice Girls Hype damals ausgelöst hat. Über 85 Millionen verkaufte Tonträger, Wannabe war omnipräsent im Radio und auf MTV, nicht nur auf der Insel, sondern in ganz Europa und dem Rest der Welt. Und jeder kannte die einzelnen Girls der Band und ihre Archetypen. Fünf Mädchen, frisch aus der Casting-Hölle, bereit mit viel Girl Power und unter den Fittichen von Simon Fuller die Welt zu erobern. Nachdem ihr Debüt Spice im Vorjahr 1996 wie eine Bombe eingeschlagen hatte, sollte das zweite Album Spice World endgültig zur World Domination führen. Und dazu gehörte natürlich auch der passende gleichnamige Kinofilm. Ganz in der Tradition von den Beatles “A hard days night” eine Mockumentary, die das Tourleben der Band und die einzelnen Charaktereigenschaften von Ginger, Scary, Sporty, Baby und Posh beleuchtet. Inklusive einer Menge selbstreferenziellem Humor und vielen Musikeinlagen. Johannes, schlüpf in dein Union Jack Hemd, wirf nen Parka über und zieh die viel zu hohen Plateauschuhe an. Wir reden heute über den Film Spice World.

Author, Actor, Singer and Voiceover Actor Rodney Saulsberry narrates this episode about the history of the popular television show, American Idol. An American singing competition television series created by Simon Fuller and distributed by Fremantle North America. It aired on Fox from June 11, 2002, to April 7, 2016, for 15 seasons.

Aaron and Josh are here for their latest TV retrospective, this time on American Idol for its 20th anniversary. American Idol is signing competition created by Simon Fuller, based on the British show Pop Idol. It debuted on FOX on June 11, 2002, where it ran for 15 seasons. After a hiatus, ABC revived the series, which just concluded its 20th season. During the auditions, the show's judges determine whether the contestants make the trip to Hollywood. Later, the television audience votes on their favorite performances, until one singer is crowned the winner. The original three judges were record producer/music manager Randy Jackson, singer/choreographer Paula Abdul, and music executive/manger Simon Cowell. On FOX American Idol was the most watched show on television, consistently ranking number one. However, many critics condemned its commercialism and sadistic selection process. Aaron and Josh talk about the first episode, the judges, notable contestants, and how real the “reality TV show” really is. You can listen to Josh and Aaron's previous podcast on Lilo & Stitch.

We're returning to the pop landscape of the early 2000s this week, a pop landscape that had your host Graham wondering whether there was any point being a pop cartographer any more. The dominant feature of said landscape was TV talent shows, usually run by either Simon Cowell or his Salieri, Simon Fuller, the latter of whom masterminded this week's film. A modern-day beach party movie starring first-season American Idol finalists Justin Guarini and Kelly Clarkson, From Justin to Kelly was legendarily unsuccessful, but that doesn't mean returning co-host Jeff hasn't got a bagful of fascinating trivia about it. Said trivia includes Guarini's history in musical theatre, the film's epic director's cut, and a subplot removed from the third act that could have led to the film getting a very different reception. We also talk about the film's odd, PG-certificate vision of teen debauchery, the possible membership of the Pennsylvania Posse, the film's inability to remember if its musical numbers are diegetic or not, and the previous CV of writer Kim Fuller.

A spell living in San Francisco was followed by relocation to the Hastings in the UK, where school classmates at his comprehensive school included the artist Dinos Chapman and future Spice Girls/Pop Idol svengali Simon Fuller – who managed Smith's sixth form band, but could do nothing to help them. After studying philosophy and politics at the University of York, he moved to London, where he worked as a van driver, in music stores and as a musician (at one point auditioning for The Clash), before finally submitting to his first love, which was writing. Starting at the music paper Melody Maker, he moved rapidly to The Face, Guardian, Sunday Times and Observer as a longform feature writer, but in 2002 left journalism to write his UK #1 and international bestseller Moondust: in Search of the Men Who Fell to Earth, which was nominated for two British Book Awards (including Read of the Year) and chosen by the Times as one of its “100 Best Books of the Decade”. His most recent work, Totally Wired: The Rise and Fall of Josh Harris and the Great Dotcom Swindle, about the mysterious crash of Web 1.0, was Published by Grove Atlantic in 2019 and is currently being developed into a TV series by the actor/director Ben Stiller. His third book, Adventures in Coderland, about the micro-cosmos of computer code and this attempt to get inside it, will appear in 2022. Smith appears often on radio and TV and is the writer and presenter of films including the 60-minute BBC documentaries Being Neil Armstrong and To Kill A Mockingbird at 50. He currently divides his time between the San Francisco Bay Area and London, England.

It was created by American Idol producers Simon Fuller and Nigel Lythgoe and is produced by 19 Entertainment and Dick Clark Productions The series premiered on July 20, 2005, with over ten million viewers and ended the summer season as the top-rated show on television. The first season was hosted by American news personality Lauren Sánchez. Since the second season, it has been hosted by former British children's television personality and game show emcee Cat Deeley. The show features a format where dancers trained in a variety of dance genres enter open auditions held in a number of major U.S. cities to showcase their talents and move forward through successive additional rounds of auditions to test their ability to adapt to different styles. At the end of this process, a small number of dancers are chosen as finalists. These dancers move on to the competition's main phase, where they perform solo, duet, and group dance numbers on live television, attempting to master a diverse selection of dance styles, including classical, contemporary, ballroom, hip-hop, street, club, jazz and musical theatre styles, among others. They compete for the votes of the broadcast viewing audience which, combined with the input of a panel of judges, determines which dancers advance to the next stage from week to week, until a winner is crowned as "America's favorite dancer". So You Think You Can Dance has won seven Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Choreography and a total of nine Emmy Awards altogether. Licensed variations of the show, produced for broadcast markets in other nations, began airing in August 2005, and dozens of localized adaptations of the show have been produced since, airing in 41 countries to date.

Kristian Bush from Sugarland will be on with us next week. Leslie (00:19):Our old buddy Kristian Bush. Barnes (00:21):You can listen to us on the iHeartRadio app and now we've been added to Pandora.

Tesla [crosstalk 00:00:35]. Cubby (00:34):Tesla, of course. I love my Tesla. I don't have one but I love my Tesla. Barnes (00:39):How was your week? Cubby (00:41):Well, we had that tropical storm, Isaias. Leslie (00:43):That's right. Barnes (00:45):Did they do that as a job to weathercasters? No one can say the name. Cubby (00:48):It took me forever to say it and I'm probably still saying it wrong. We got hit pretty hard here. It was only like a five hour travel storm, like it flew in flew out, but lost power for 24 hours, which is nothing compared to other friends of mine who are still without power. Barnes (01:03):And with a baby. Cubby (01:04):With a baby. Had a friend of mine come over and bring a generator which helped us out a little bit. You could plug in a few lamps and stuff like that and a portable air conditioning but it was a heck of a week. A tree fell, almost hit our house where the baby was sleeping. Barely missed it. So we were very fortunate but you know what, despite all that, guys- Barnes (01:26):Did your Jägermeister machine go down? Cubby (01:27):It went down for a whole day but despite all that, I think I locked in a guest for today's show. Leslie (01:33):What? Cubby (01:34):I made some calls. I was on the internet, shot a few emails, and even a day without power didn't stop me from, I'm fairly certain booking somebody here today. Barnes (01:47):Who? Tell us. Cubby (01:49):I'd be crazy to tell you now. Barnes (01:52):You're playing games now with us. We have to listen to find out who it is. Cubby (01:54):I can assure you- Barnes (01:56):I can't leave early. Cubby (01:58):I can assure you this person is going to chime in and plug into our podcast in the next few minutes. Barnes (02:05):We're going to know who it is? Cubby (02:06):You should. Grammy winner, I know that. Leslie (02:08):What a tease. Barnes (02:10):Did we play them on alternative radio? Cubby (02:12):Oh, absolutely. You guys probably know this person you probably interviewed and hung out with this person as much as I have. Barnes (02:19):Actor also, or just a singer? Cubby (02:22):No, maybe done some acting but- Barnes (02:25):I don't like to be teased like this. Cubby (02:26):Was part of a movie in a weird roundabout way. So there's a little tease for you. Leslie (02:31):He or she? Cubby (02:32):She. Leslie (02:33):Oh, it's a she? Barnes (02:35):What if we were to end the show right now? It would just be over. Thanks for listening to The Pop Culture Show. So where's your guest Cubby- Cubby (02:42):Not until she chimes. I'm not feeling confident until we hear that, and she plugs into the podcast here. Barnes (02:49):What? We're just going to sit and wait and something's going to happen? Is it like on Zoom when people just pop in. Leslie (02:54):I think that's what's going to happen. Cubby (02:57):Yeah, it's like that, like a surprise drop in. Barnes (02:58):That was a crazy week. I would not take yours for anything. Mine was pretty low key I did guest host a podcast. Our friend Damona Hoffman, who has a very successful dating podcast. She was on our second, I think episode ever when we started this thing back in April. Leslie (03:13):Wait a minute. Why were you on a dating podcast? Barnes (03:14):I guest hosted. She does this segment called Headlines and she wanted some pop culture input, and so who did she come to? The Pop Culture Show. Cubby (03:21):Did you plug our show? Barnes (03:23):Cubby, how long have you known me? Cubby (03:25):30 years. Leslie (03:25):He's the plug meister. Barnes (03:27):Did I plug our show? Cubby (03:28):I'm Ygritte meister, you're plug meister. Barnes (03:31):So yeah, that episode drops today, same day as ours. It's called Dates and Mates. It's a very successful show. I've probably ruined it, but it's out today. My part of it is somewhere in there. She does headlines in the segment or as a segment. Leslie (03:47):Does she help people get dates and mates? Barnes (03:49):She's very good. She's in the LA Times. She writes for like, what's the Washington big newspaper, I think- Leslie (03:55):Washington Post? Barnes (03:57):That may be it. Yep. She does all of these newspapers and she hosted a dating show on, I want to say Lifetime or one of those networks. She's always in the mix. She's very cool. Damona Hoffman and that show is called Dates and Mates. So listen. Fram, how was your week? Leslie (04:12):Damn, my week pales in comparison. Cubby is without power, sitting in the dark. You're over there on podcasts. I'm just over here growing watermelons. Cubby (04:21):That actually is really cool. I saw that on your Instagram and that looks really neat. Barnes (04:26):You posted a lot about this watermelon and the one thing I can think of, it takes how many days to grow watermelon? Leslie (04:34):I don't know. All I can tell you is that I go out there and water it. My husband does most of the work- Barnes (04:39):You do know. He just told you. I heard him tell 60 days. I was teeing you up, and what was my comment when you said that? Leslie (04:46):I didn't hear your comment. Barnes (04:47):I said I would just go to Publix. Because that's too much attachment to a watermelon, for 60 days and then you just eat it like that and it's gone. Cubby (04:56):Do you water them? Leslie (04:57):You do think it was cool how it went from a tiny little seed to- Barnes (05:00):Of course, but then you eat it and then it's gone. Leslie (05:02):I know but you grow yourself in your own garden. It's magical. Cubby (05:05):Do you water it with your [quify 00:05:06]? Barnes (05:06):QuiFit. Cubby (05:08):Oh, QuiFit. I'm sorry. Barnes (05:09):There's still people talking about that. Leslie (05:12):I need money from that company because I think I sold about 30 of those things. Barnes (05:15):It's French, right? They're saying we. Leslie (05:17):It's we fit. Barnes (05:19):Right, but only you would take the little tilde accent thing and make it a Q for QuiFit. Cubby (05:26):I just want to take two seconds to shout out to people. Yes, only two but hopefully more. A girl named Jody who is our account executive at iHeartRadio, listens every week and so does Wendy Wilde. She's our midday DJ at KTU, the station I used to be at. She listens all the time. I just want to shout out to you people real quick because they comment every week on our show and we really appreciate it. Leslie (05:49):That's really nice. Cubby (05:50):Spread the word guys and Jodi, Wendy we love you and let's get some more people tuning into The Pop Culture Show. Barnes (05:56):Before we get to celebrity sleaze, I thought it would be fun to do around of tell me a story where you have to tell something about one of the other co hosts. So you have something that is stuck in your mind about one of the other two. That just when you say someone's name, a story is kind of implanted in your head, friends of yours. For some reason your mind goes back to that story. I have two quick ones and I actually have one about both of you. Cubby, I always think of the time you won, what was it? $40,000 in a slot machine? Cubby (06:32):Yes, it was $38,500 on a slot machine. Barnes (06:36):How much did you put in? Cubby (06:37):100 bucks. Barnes (06:38):Three times or just 100? Cubby (06:40):No, I went to, I take that back. It was about $300 into a $100 machine because I've had some success on $100 slot machines. Your money will go like that if you're not winning, but you can also score big. One cherry on $100 machine could be like $3,000. Barnes (07:01):Dude gets off of work, goes right to Atlantic City, calls me from the car, is like, dude, I just won $38,000. I'm like, what? Cubby (07:08):Leslie, I was feeling it. It was really weird. I was at work. I'm about two hours from Atlantic City, you probably remember from working up here is not far at all and it kind of hit me. I'm like, you know what, I'm going to go down to Atlantic City. It's Tuesday afternoon, nobody will be there. I jumped in the car, went down there and I had $500, I had five $100 bills, and I said, I'm just going to put them all in the $100 machine and whatever happens, happens, and $300 in the thing went cherry, cherry and then like, jackpot. I knew it was big, but I wasn't sure. Barnes (07:41):At that point, when you win that much money, what happens? Do people emerge from a secret room and come get you? Cubby (07:46):It was ringing and then I thought I want $3,800 at first because I was like, what's happening here and then this old lady walks by and she goes, oh, honey, you did good. Then another person came up to me and then a little bit circle started. I said, I think it's like 3,800 and they go, no, it's 38,000. Leslie (08:06):$38,000. Are you the type of person that will walk away at that point? Because a lot of people, as you know, go the other way, and they lose it all. Cubby (08:14):I walk away when I'm up 400. I was not expecting this and then they're like, we can convert this to a check if you want or we can just give you cash. Barnes (08:23):Like right there, they do it? Cubby (08:24):Right there. Everything happens right there. Barnes (08:27):Wow, they take the tax out. Cubby (08:30):They mail you the, what is it? The W-2 or the 10- Barnes (08:32):Yeah. Cubby (08:34):They mail you that later in the year. So during tax time, and then you report it and all that. Barnes (08:39):So that sticks in my mind. What'd you do with the money? Cubby (08:42):You know what I did? I didn't go to an ATM machine for like years, because- Barnes (08:45):You kept it as slash mind. Cubby (08:47):I took the cash and they wrapped it in an envelope for me and a guy walked me out and I didn't put it in the bank. I know that sounds stupid. I'd literally just lived off it for like 10 years. Leslie (08:58):Bank robbers do that too. Barnes (09:02):You see why it's stuck in my head? Cubby (09:04):That's amazing. I love that story. Leslie (09:06):I didn't know that story. That's incredible. Barnes (09:07):My Leslie story is from New York. Also, one time when we were there, every year we did our show for a year there for MTV, and we were in the Empire State Building up on the deck. She turns to me and says, "Are we in the eyes?" Leslie (09:21):My husband loves this story. Barnes (09:24):I was like, "Fran, this is not the Statue of Liberty. It's the Empire State Building." Leslie (09:30):I was so innocent, you know. Cubby (09:33):This is why people love Leslie though. She's real, she's innocent, she's- Barnes (09:37):It just stays in my mind for some reason. When Fram's name comes up on my phone, I go right to, are we in the eyes? Leslie (09:45):That's staying in the Fram Hall of Fame, I might add. Barnes (09:48):QuiFit. Cubby (09:50):QuiFit. How can we top last week after the beginning of last week? Oh my God. Leslie (09:56):There's so many Barnes' stories, Cubby as you know. The fact that he doesn't like Stoli anymore, it's like because that was number one for him. Anyways, I digress. When we did a morning show together, we all had our top five list. Our fantasy top five Cubby. I think Brad Pitt was always number one on mine, but Barnes had a type as you can imagine. Barnes had a type, like Reese Witherspoon was always in his top five. Who else was in? Barnes (10:22):Number one forever. Leslie (10:24):Forever was Reese. Who else was in your, do you remember- Barnes (10:26):Jennifer Aniston. Leslie (10:27):Yep, yep. Barnes (10:30):They were the staples. Then the bottom three kind of rotated. Leslie (10:34):They rotated [crosstalk 00:10:35]. Barnes (10:35):Where's this going Fram? Leslie (10:39):Cubby, you remember the singer Dido? Cubby (10:42):Of course. Leslie (10:44):When Dido first came out at the radio station, the record rep brought her in. We did an interview on the morning show where we played her new song and she was lovely person. Really nice. So anyway, they leave the control room and Barnes immediately declares on the air that there's a change in his top five list. There's like an immediate change in the top five list. Barnes (11:05):I remember this- Leslie (11:05):Dido's going right to the top. Little did he know that Dido was in the hallway listening to this whole thing, because there's like speakers in the hallway, playing the morning show. They come back into the control room after they heard this whole thing. I think actually, she was probably delighted about it and she thought it was really cool. So she came back in, it was revealed that all of a sudden Dido is number one on Barnes' top five and then we all had dinner that night. It was a beautiful relationship. Barnes (11:35):It was the strangest thing. She was not known then. This was pre Eminem and all that stuff she did. Cubby (11:42):You kept in touch with her, right? I remember you- Barnes (11:43):For years. I haven't spoken with her in a long time, she's lovely. Such a cool girl. She would come to Atlanta all the time and we'd go out. We'd go to dinner. We'd go to Food 101 on Roswell road, we went to Prime at Linux. I remember that night. That was like a three hour dinner. It's not like all of a sudden Dido was my girlfriend all of a sudden. She wasn't, but it was just the weirdest thing. It's like high school, they left the room and I'm like, oh, they're not listening. Immediately, she's number one. Number one. Who's Reese Witherspoon. Cubby (12:10):Speaking of women, see my memory of Barnes, I guess it's more of a question. Barnes (12:16):I feel like I'm being attacked. Cubby (12:17):No, it's more of a question than it is a story but when I first met you, it was July, of 1991 when I first met you. Were you hitting on my date? That's my question I've always wanted to ask, because- Barnes (12:31):Who was your date? Cubby (12:32):I don't think you were hitting on her but you talked about how pretty she was. Barnes (12:37):Who was she? Cubby (12:38):I don't remember. I think her name was Alison and we dated for a year- Barnes (12:41):Well, maybe I was giving you credit. I don't recall hitting on her. Well, I wouldn't hit on your- Leslie (12:44):Wait, did she look like Dido? Cubby (12:45):No, she actually was brunette. So maybe not- Barnes (12:48):Well then there's your answer. There's no way. Leslie (12:50):He was always into blondes back then. Barnes (12:52):My top five was like, yeah. Cubby (12:54):Always blonde? Barnes (12:55):Always. Cubby (12:56):Okay, so maybe you weren't but I definitely think that it helped because I know how you appreciate a fine looking lady and we got to talking and you were like, hey, who's this fine, young thing? I don't think you said that but- Barnes (13:09):You make me sound like grandpa. I was 22 years old at the time. That's funny. That's what sticks in your head? That's your story? Leslie (13:17):That's hysterical. Barnes (13:18):For all these years? For 30 years? You've been thinking I was trying to pick up your 18 year old girlfriend? Cubby (13:25):She wasn't 18, she was like our age. Barnes (13:27):You were 19. Cubby (13:29):In '91, I was I just turned 20. Barnes (13:31):Okay. I'm sorry. You just turned 20. That's hysterical. Cubby (13:35):I have other stories of you. I have like, you and I did a bet together when I was working in Houston. and you were working in Kansas City and radio DJs we do these wacky things. Hey, if my team wins, I'll do this or you do that. We had a bet where the Oilers were playing the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs and if the Oilers won, you had to pump gas for your listeners. I can't remember what would happen if the Chiefs had won because I didn't have to worry about that. You lost and you had to pump gas and we got a lot of traction on, I believe in all the industry trade magazines on that. Barnes (14:11):I think the gas is probably because the Oilers, I'm assuming. Cubby (14:13):Well yeah, I get that. I can't remember what mine was going to be but that was our early radio days. Barnes (14:18):I had to pump gas for like three hours. Cubby (14:20):You did. I remember that. I remember that. Barnes (14:23):That was the worst. Cubby (14:24):It was your idea, too. Barnes (14:25):All right, thanks for reminding me of all these great stories. Good to know that you're still freaking out about your date. I love that. Leslie (14:32):Unbelievable. Barnes (14:32):Glad I hold that power over you, Cubby. All of these years. Cubby (14:35):Finally after 30 years, it feels great to get this off my chest, man. Barnes (14:38):All right. Leslie (14:39):I was getting ready to say pent up- Barnes (14:41):Yeah, something. Leslie (14:43):Are we ready for celebrity sleeve? You're ready to dive in guys? Cubby (14:46):Let's do this. Leslie (14:48):The Ellen DeGeneres saga continues. First of all, did you see that rumor that James Corden could be acting over her show? Barnes (14:55):What a perfect person to take it. Leslie (14:58):That's what the, "insiders" are saying. I think he'd be great. Barnes (15:01):He's probably the one driving the rumors now the most. Yeah, it's all true. It's all true, mate. Leslie (15:06):Her wife spoke up, Portia de Rossi is speaking up and her statement was like, to all the fans, we see you, thank you for your support. Then her brother, her brothers now coming out saying, okay, I need to say something. My sister is being viciously attacked and let me assure you, it is all BS. Barnes (15:25):I'm hearing the opposite. Leslie (15:26):Now I don't know if she's calling or the producers are calling these celebrities. Because you see a bunch of celebrities came out this week in her defense. Cubby (15:34):Katy Perry, I believe is one of them. Leslie (15:37):Katy Perry was one of them. Barnes (15:38):Kevin Hart and he got fried for it. Leslie (15:40):Now Ellen is, people are saying that Ellen is now going to quietly back up from her show because she feels "betrayed." Barnes (15:49):Quietly, with her how many millions of dollars? Leslie (15:52):She thinks she's a target and look, where there's smoke, there's fire. There's so many of these stories, and they just keep coming out. So let's see what happens. Cubby (16:00):There was like a kid I think not a kid, but they were like 11 years old. Barnes (16:05):He's like a VP of a marketing agency in New Orleans. I saw that. Cubby (16:08):Oh, it's a guy, right? Barnes (16:09):Yeah, it's a guy. Cubby (16:10):Okay. Yeah. Leslie (16:11):Well, I love it when two beautiful people get together and I will tell you social media was going crazy over this story. At the beach together, Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Garner. People want Jen to be in love after Ben Affleck had an affair with the nanny. People want her to be happy. You can't blame her. Barnes (16:29):Hey, Cubby? Cubby (16:30):Yeah. Barnes (16:31):Last time I was in LA at breakfast. Cubby (16:33):Who'd you run into? Where are we going? Barnes (16:34):I was sitting in my car, making a call and I heard this really thumping G Wagon, G Wagon, G Wagon come up and it parked right next to me like almost to the point where I couldn't open my door. Bradley Cooper. Leslie (16:45):Wow. Cubby (16:46):Were people confused on who was who with you next to him? Barnes (16:49):It was so confusing. It was two days after he won his Oscar and not one pap sign which was shocking. He went to this place, Heather, what's the name of the place where all the shops and- Heather (17:01):Farm Stands. Barnes (17:01):The Farm Stands in Brentwood. There's a great breakfast place in there. You used to be able to see people there all the time and Jennifer Garner was one of them that live in that kind of Brentwood heavy estate big huge, like $20 million house area. He popped up with his really tacky- Leslie (17:19):Shorts? Barnes (17:20):No, like the warm ups and a messy shirt like just out of bed and not one person was out there and there's usually paparazzi all around that place. Cubby (17:29):Was he by himself? Barnes (17:31):No, because then I walked in with him. Yeah, but he was by himself. Leslie (17:36):Barnes was hoping for like a buddy cop movie of he and Bradley Cooper. Barnes (17:39):That was my moment. Where are the pap when you need them? He was on the on a phone call when he pulled up and you know when it's really loud in your car and people pull up at a light and you can hear everything going on? Cubby (17:49):Yeah, it sounds like the Charlie Brown teacher. Barnes (17:51):Yeah. So he pulled up and his windows were down and he was blasting somebody, some guy, probably his agent or something. It was really random. Leslie (17:58):Remember the rumors of Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga when they filmed the movie together and people were like, ah. I don't know, but anyway- Barnes (18:05):By the way, I took a picture. Leslie (18:06):You did? Send it to us. Barnes (18:07):I put my iPhone up to my ear like I was on the phone and I just hit the volume knob. Snap, snap, snap. Leslie (18:13):Unbelievable. That's a sneaky move. Barnes (18:15):He was right there. Leslie (18:17):We got two Simons in the news, Simon Cowell, who had a wreck on his motorized bike over the weekend. People are saying he broke his back and has to have surgery. Barnes (18:27):First that came out and said he just had a minor injury and then all of a sudden he had a broken back. Leslie (18:31):I know. I don't know if he had a broken back or what but I've heard conflicting stories. Barnes (18:35):You know when you have a broken back, right? I don't know if there was like a question. They had to determine it. Leslie (18:40):Then there's Simon Fuller, the guy who owns the Idol franchise. Have you heard this? Barnes (18:45):No. Leslie (18:46):He wants to have the first of its kind show about forming a supergroup from TikTok. Cubby (18:54):My gosh. Leslie (18:55):Here we go. Cubby (18:57):It'll probably work though. I got to be honest with you, it'll probably work. Leslie (19:00):We do have a story about TikTok later and somebody who just broke off TikTok. So because Hollywood is out of ideas, we have reboots. We have all these different franchise installments and here we go, and revivals. Have you heard about A League of Their Own, a reboot coming to Amazon? Barnes (19:18):The movie? Leslie (19:19):Yep, a TV reboot of A League of Their Own is coming to Amazon based on the movie. That's one. Cubby (19:25):Not much original stuff much. Leslie (19:27):Here's another reboot, although I'm very happy about this reboot. Chip and Joanna Gaines are rebooting Fixer Upper because they own a network now. They have their own network. It hasn't launched yet. It's called Magnolia. So they're going to reboot that and it'll be huge because, like me, there are a lot of people that would just watch hours of Fixer Upper. Barnes (19:46):Those two kill it. They kill it. Leslie (19:49):Nev Campbell, reportedly signed on for Scream 5. Barnes (19:54):Where has she been? Leslie (19:54):I didn't know there was a Scream 3- Cubby (19:57):Or 4. Barnes (19:57):Where has she been? Leslie (19:57):Remember, our buddy David Arquette's going to be in it too. I don't know where Nev's been. Here's another reboot, or revival, Who's The Boss? Barnes (20:08):Man, Hollywood is out of ideas. Leslie (20:11):With the original stars by the way. Tony Danza, Alyssa Milano returning to reprise their roles. Barnes (20:19):30 years later? Leslie (20:20):Yeah, 30 years later, with Milano's Samantha now all grown up and a single mom. She's living in the same house as the original series. Barnes (20:28):Let's bring back Gilligan's Island. Leslie (20:31):We should. Modern day. Barnes (20:32):Where's Love Boat? They tried that again. Fantasy Island. Cubby (20:35):Yeah, don't get me going man. The Jeffersons, Good Times. I loved all the 70s and 80s and 90s shows. Leslie (20:40):Love Island, season two in Las Vegas. It's coming out, August 24. Barnes (20:46):How are they going to pull that? Their advertising during Big Brother which started this week. Leslie (20:49):What is Love Island about? Barnes (20:51):It's the typical, it's just a slight twist of every other dating show but they bring the beautiful people with a bad attitude. They all want to be social influencers. I think the elders get booked on this show so they can try to get a blue check and be an influencer. Cubby (21:03):Were you satisfied with your Big Brother first episode of the season? Barnes (21:07):I was very disappointed. They announced it was Big Brother all stars and all stars is a stretch. Don't get me wrong. I'm going to watch every minute of it still, but they had people that were booted on their season night one. How do you call them an all star? They didn't have any of the banner names like Mike Boogie or Dr. Will, any of those people that were big personalities on the show. Leslie (21:28):What a disappointment. Cubby (21:29):No Mike Boogie? Barnes (21:30):No. None of my came back. It's all like B level, C level Big Brother players. Multiple. Cubby (21:36):Leslie and I have no idea what you're talking about. Barnes (21:38):Come on. Mike Boogie. Everyone knows Mike Boogie. Cubby (21:41):You know Mike Boogie? Leslie (21:41):I have no idea who Mike Boogie is. I like the name though. Hey, by the way Lizzo, I don't know if you're a fan. I'm a fan. She has just inked her first TV deal with Amazon Studios. Barnes (21:50):Who? Leslie (21:52):Lizzo. Barnes (21:52):Oh, yeah, she's talented. Leslie (21:54):Ariana Grande is dropping another fragrance called R.E.M. I was like, wait a second. That's one of my favorite bands, R.E.M. What? What? Barnes (22:03):That's so confusing and so lawsuit worthy from the most non commercial band on the planet, REM. I have to think that they're already, I mean it's R.E.M. Leslie (22:13):Wait a second, Cubby, you're in the pop world. Did she have a song called R.E.M? Like, what is this based off of? Cubby (22:19):Not that I know of. There was never called REM. Maybe it was an album track but no, I don't know where that's coming from either. Did you guys ever buy a fragrance though from a celebrity? Barnes (22:28):I wear J.Lo all the time. No, of course not. Cubby (22:33):I thought maybe she had male fragrance. I wasn't sure- Leslie (22:36):One time we interviewed Kiss and they gave us some and I threw it away. Barnes (22:43):You don't want to smell like Paul Stanley? Cubby (22:44):There was a Kiss interview- Barnes (22:46):It smells like Michael Stipe that would make it really strange. Cubby (22:50):It's the end of the world as we know it, man. Leslie (22:52):This is shocking. E! News has been canceled after three decades. Barnes (22:57):That's pretty wild. Leslie (22:58):Streamlining their programming and restructuring, "to internally create more efficiencies." That's what NBC Universal said. Well, listen, The Pop Culture Show could take their place. We're right here, people. E! we're right here. Finally, this was actually kind of funny. We all know that Gordon Ramsay has a bit of a temper, so to speak, but now he's critiquing people's meals on TikTok. Barnes (23:22):That's the perfect thing for him. That's his shtick though. That's his whole thing. Have you seen it? Leslie (23:28):Have you seen it, Cubby? Cubby (23:28):I have not. Barnes (23:31):People do these little cooking demonstrations on TikTok. They're little quick, how to do whatever. Here's one of them. It's real quick and he splits and rips on them. (singing). Barnes (24:01):So he gets millions of views for that. Leslie (24:03):Did he just say you don't know how crap you are? Barnes (24:05):Yeah. He pretty much says the same thing in every one of the thesis. Cubby (24:11):Is there a series of these? Barnes (24:12):Yeah, just on his page. Cubby (24:13):Right. Okay, that's funny. Leslie (24:15):Ah, that's your celebrity news for this week. Barnes (24:17):Who's the artist that broke this week, this song is hysterical on TikTok. Leslie (24:22):Well, first of all, she's gotten millions of views on TikTok. Her name is Priscilla Block, but she released this country song and this I think is the first time this has ever happened. Cubby, I don't know if you've ever heard of this or not but her song went number one on iTunes After debuting it on TikTok. I mean, that's incredible. Barnes (24:41):Check this song out. I have to give her credit. The plan to get this out there was brilliantly executed and she works it and it's a step above a karaoke song. Leslie (24:52):It's like a country song. Barnes (24:54):It's got funny lyrics. So here's what it sounds like. Barnes (24:56):(singing). Barnes (24:56):It's two turntables and a reverb. Barnes (25:09):(singing). Barnes (25:14):She took like the, how to make a country song 101 post and put this together. Cubby (25:19):It really is simple. Barnes (25:20):Yeah. Barnes (25:21):(singing). Cubby (25:21):I feel like we're at a county fair. Barnes (25:26):Yeah. Barnes (25:27):(singing). Barnes (25:31):Let me get to the hook. Here's the hook. Listen to this. Barnes (25:54):(singing). Barnes (25:55):If you don't like these love handles, you can find me at McDonald's and trust me, you'll be loving it. Leslie (26:01):That's not the song that went to number one. Barnes (26:04):I thought that was it. Thick Thighs. Leslie (26:06):No, that's one of the funny songs. The song that went to number one was this heartbreak song called, Just About Over You, which is more of a serious country song, but that's one of our funny songs. Cubby (26:17):If that was number one, that would kind of freak me out a little bit. Leslie (26:20):No, she has a new song called Thick Thighs but the one that went to number one is called- Barnes (26:23):That's Thick Thighs. Leslie (26:24):That's Thick Thighs. The one that went to number one is called. Just About Over You, Priscilla Block. Barnes (26:29):Have you seen the new Reels' feature competing now with TikTok's? You got Microsoft trying to buy TikTok, you got Trump trying to end TikTok, you got Instagram trying to exploit TikTok and they come out with Reels. Leslie (26:41):I did. I have seen a few of those with celebrities and stuff. They're okay. Barnes (26:45):If you really want to get the review and I wanted to hold off and find out, can you grab the review team? Leslie (26:51):We have a review team for Reels? Barnes (26:53):Would you mind grabbing them? Yes, we have 15 year olds available for a quick review of the new Reels features on TikTok that would be Mallory Barnes and her friend, I don't want to out her friend. She can say her name if she wants to be outed on- Leslie (27:06):Oh, get your daughter on the show. That's great. Barnes (27:08):Yeah, come on in review team. Here they come. Cubby (27:10):So the to me, Reels is a backup for me. I'm still a TikTok guy. I love TikTok and I haven't checked out Reels yet because I'm like, I'll go to that when I really need to. Right now, TikTok is still up and running. Barnes (27:20):Okay. They can't hear you but say hello, Mallory Barnes. mallory (27:23):Hello. Eva (27:24):Hi, I'm Eva Russell. Barnes (27:26):So we have two experts here on TikToking and on the new Instagram Reels. What are your thoughts, one at a time? We'll start with you. What's your thoughts on the new Instagram Reels? Eva (27:37):I think it needs to be developed a little bit more honestly. The features that they have don't really compare to the features TikTok has, but I think they probably could develop it enough to get to the same level, maybe. Barnes (27:51):All right, Mallory Barnes. What do you think? mallory (27:53):I don't really like it. Barnes (27:55):You told me yesterday it sucked. mallory (27:57):Yeah, I think that. Barnes (27:59):Why? Why does it suck? mallory (28:00):Because they're just trying to make it like TikTok and I don't think you can make it like TikTok. I don't know. Barnes (28:07):Who's the hottest thing to listen to right now out there. mallory (28:09):Taylor Swift. Barnes (28:11):Taylor Swift. What about you? Eva (28:13):Yeah, Taylor Swift is good. Yeah. Leslie (28:15):Those are really good reviews about Reels. So basically it needs development. Barnes (28:19):Go to your audience, people if you want a review. Thank you review team. Leslie (28:22):Thank you very much. Cubby (28:23):Thank you, ladies. Barnes (28:24):All right, go back to sleep. Leslie (28:25):You know what's sad, it reminds me of whatever happened to Vine. Barnes (28:29):That was only here for 10 minutes. Cubby (28:31):So when Vine went away, I was bummed out and TikTok came back around but it goes to show guys, it's all about first in the category. TikTok is ruling this category. It's going to be hard to break them. All right guys, are you ready for my feature that could have a Grammy Award winning guest? Barnes (28:47):I already forgot. We got so busy on the show. I forgot you teased a guest and again didn't come through because I see nothing. Cubby (28:54):Play my intro please. Barnes (28:55):Okay, get magical. Speaker 1 (29:00):This is Cubby's pop culture throwback, a rewind into the vault of music, movies and moments. Barnes (29:06):By the way, who do you know that you get special intros for segments? There's no celebrity sleaze intro. Leslie (29:13):I know, I'm feeling a little neglected. Cubby (29:14):I'm surprised Fram hadn't bitched about that. Fram, do you want your own intro for your sleaze? Leslie (29:19):I'm not a bitcher. Barnes (29:21):There's your quote of the week. I'm not a bitcher. Cubby (29:24):This week we're looking back at what was popping in 1994. Movies, TVs and music. Barnes, Leslie, where were you guys in 1994? Do you remember. Barnes (29:33):I was sitting right across and Leslie Fram at 99X. Leslie (29:35):99X. Cubby (29:35):There you go. So at the box office, this week in 1994 it was all about this movie. Speaker 8 (29:43):How dare you come into this office and bark at me like some little junkyard dog? I am the President of the United States! Speaker 9 (29:49):How dare you sir! Speaker 10 (29:51):Paramount Pictures presents, this summer's most electrifying motion picture. Clear and Present Danger. Cubby (30:00):Harrison Ford and William Defoe ruling the box office. Leslie (30:02):That whole series, so good. Cubby (30:04):On TV, this week in 1994. Of course, we were still watching Seinfeld. Whenever you bring up a 90s pop culture it's Seinfeld, but we were also watching another big show. Do you know this TV theme? Cubby (30:21):(singing) Cubby (30:21):Anybody? Barnes (30:23):No. Cubby (30:23):That would be ER. ER ladies, gentlemen. That show ruled. Barnes (30:28):I didn't watch that show. I mean, I watched it, but I didn't watch it constantly. Cubby (30:32):I was the same way. I wasn't loyal but I watched it- Leslie (30:34):George Clooney was on that show. Come on. Cubby (30:36):There you go. Now to music we go. We're looking back at this week in 1994. The number one song on the R&B charts. It was Janet Jackson and she had a song called Any Time, Any Place. Cubby (30:51):(singing) Cubby (30:55):This is a kind of a forgotten Janet song but it was good. Cubby (30:57):(singing). Cubby (31:03):All right guys, the number one song on the modern rock charts this week in 1994. It was a great song and you guys were probably playing it at 99X. I was in Houston playing it. It was a Counting Crows song, but one you might have forgotten about. Cubby (31:16):(singing). Leslie (31:27):Can't forget about any of those. They were all great. Cubby (31:29):Yeah, but this one is like- Barnes (31:31):It was kind of a beside. Cubby (31:32):Yeah, whenever you mention Counting Crows to somebody, they'll say Mr. Jones first and then Round Here and they forget Einstein on the Beach. Barnes (31:38):I love that. What movie was that from? It was that movie. We started playing it. We were playing it and it picked up steam and it was such an odd song because it wasn't on an album. Cubby (31:50):Also Rain King, another great tune that was kind of- Barnes (31:52):Great. August and Everything After was such an unbelievable album. Cubby (31:56):I got the last one here for you on the country charts. It was all about John Michael. Montgomery and the number one song in America back this week in 1994 was a song called Be My Baby Tonight. Cubby (32:08):(singing). Cubby (32:12):The number one song this week on the pop charts, this week in 1994 and it would stay number one for three solid weeks is the song. Cubby (32:22):(singing) Barnes (32:23):I love her. Barnes (32:25):(singing). Cubby (32:25):I'm very fond of the song Lisa Loeb, and Stay from the Reality Bites soundtrack. Such a great song. Leslie (32:32):One of my all time favorite songs. Cubby (32:34):It never went away. It was just played on the radio forever and still played today. Barnes (32:38):This is the what? What anniversary? Cubby (32:41):This would be, well let me do the math here. 1994, what is that? 26 years ago, this week that that song went to number one and that song has such a great story and the artist Lisa Loeb is probably one of my faves of all time and- Barnes (32:56):Cubby? Cubby (32:57):What? Leslie (32:57):She was so cool. Lisa Loeb. So cool. Cubby (32:59):You guys interviewed her. Barnes (33:01):All the time. She was on our show a lot. Here's the thing Cubby. You have your own branded Cubby's pop culture throwback segment and you bring all these people up and I know this person and we have this person and we have these guys. You never really do anything and have them on the show. So you don't put your money where your mouth is and that's getting kind of old. I just wish you would for once, instead of having a clip half the person. Cubby (33:25):All right, hit that button. Hit the button third from your right, Steve. Now say hello, Lisa. Lisa Loeb (33:33):Hello. Cubby (33:33):I got Lisa Loeb for you guys. Barnes (33:37):Wait a minute, but Cubby- Lisa Loeb (33:38):Hello. You say. Barnes (33:41):No, you score boarded and you got a Grammy winner. Cubby (33:44):On her anniversary of Stay being the number one song in the country. Lisa Loeb, good to have you my dear. Barnes (33:49):Hey, Lisa. Lisa Loeb (33:50):Hello. It's so good to be here. You know you, well, all of you are very important to this song, but Cubby especially because he and you guys down at KRBE, when you were there, decided to play the song on the radio and that started a big, not a tumble. That's a big word, but it started a wildfire, an avalanche, something positive that, something positive. Cubby (34:12):Because you were on you were unsigned and we heard this song and we were playing it and I remember, if I remember correctly Lisa, Skip Bishop at RCA Records called us and said, "What is this song you're playing off of our soundtrack?" Because wasn't Reality Bites on RCA soundtrack. Lisa Loeb (34:28):Yes. So I was an unsigned artist. I had licensed my song, that's very technical, to RCA. So I was an unsigned artist and it was on the Reality Bites soundtrack, which was one of the best mixtapes basically that you could be on with U2, and Crowded House and I think, now I'm like who was on there. Lenny Kravitz, I don't know. Juliana Hatfield. It really ran the gamut. A lot of different types of artists and it was so cool. The song wasn't out as a single yet and you guys decided to pick it up and play it like a single. Cubby (34:57):This was back in the day when computers were monitoring radio stations and the record company said, you're playing the song like 50 times a week. Then it was already a proven hit in Houston and then I believe it just snowballed from there for you. Barnes (35:10):Weren't you the first artist to have a number one without a record deal? Lisa Loeb (35:15):Yes, and it's really still unusual. I'm surprised it doesn't happen more now because things are so independent. Now you're able to really put your music out. I think it wasn't until Macklemore put his song out, that they went to number one and they were independent. I will say it does take a team like people like Skip Bishop, who is the head of the radio promotion over there at RCA Records. Once you guys started playing it, which was really the first big step, then the record company and Skip Bishop really helped push that along and make sure that I went to every single radio station in the United States and the world, at 6AM. Leslie (35:54):The song's still played on the radio because it's timeless, Lisa. Tell us about writing that song because you didn't really write it for Reality Bites. Lisa Loeb (36:01):No, I didn't. I wrote it in New York City. I started in New York City. After I'd graduated college, I was in an argument with my boyfriend who was also my co producer at the time. I was like writing and it's funny because usually I write things a little bit more shielded and shrouded in mystery. This was just like, we were in an argument and I started writing about it, and I wanted to write a song also, at the same time, that was what was happening with the lyrics. Lisa Loeb (36:26):With the music, I heard that Daryl Hall from Hall & Oates, was looking for songs for his solo record. So I was thinking about Hall & Oates and those old songs like Sarah Smile, those great kind of blues songs with those great licks, guitar licks. So I started writing a song to a groove, and it was, if you listen, it has a little bit of, I have a guitar. Well, I happen to have a guitar right now. You can hear it kind of this. Because it's like (singing). Lisa Loeb (36:59):You know that kind of groovy like, it's not groovy, but it's a groove. I tried to write a song for Daryl Hall and then opportunity, unfortunately, it was not actually there or went away or whatever but it sort of inspired the feeling of the song. Then I wrote this weird song that doesn't have a chorus that's kind of like a book. It's turning the page as the story is being told. So it was an unusual writing experience for me, but it was a song that I played a lot in my concerts in New York City where I was living at the time at CBGBs and Lone Star Roadhouse and The Bitter End and all these places where you play in New York. Lisa Loeb (37:34):Ethan Hawke, he was my friend, he was one of the people who said, I really like that song. I was like, oh, cool. At one point, he asked if I had a copy of it that I could give to him to give to Ben Stiller, who was directing this movie that he was in. I was like, yeah, yeah and we scrambled to make sure we could put a newly recorded version of song Stay, which we were making for demo tapes, actually, for record companies were interested in and they wanted to know if we had recordings of some of my music. Lisa Loeb (38:02):So we had put together a band version of Stay and we gave that to Ethan on a cassette tape and he passed that along to Ben Stiller. Anyway, so it was written mainly for Daryl Hall. Barnes (38:15):What does it like to be, I mean, you really flipped the funnel, because here you have a number one song, no record deal and you're just like, come talk to me, baby. Because at that time, that was big record. Now it's so different. It's totally different paradigm. Lisa Loeb (38:32):It was exciting because I was an independent artist. I'd been writing songs since I was a little kid and making recordings in high school and all through college and developing what I thought was like a nice independent music career. We were getting really great crowds at our shows. I was playing at South by Southwest and a bunch of different music, like new music seminar. There are all these things that you would do as a new musician, to meet people in the industry and to get out there and to continue to develop your fan base. Lisa Loeb (39:00):It was really cool that after going to South by Southwest for a couple years and having different young A&R people coming to the shows, all of a sudden, that summer, that song was number one, all of a sudden. The same summer that I went to South by Southwest with my band yet again and now all the bosses of the young A&R people were like, wait, wait, who's that girl you've been talking about for a couple years? Lisa Loeb (39:20):Oh, wait, she's got a number one song on the, or this song is almost number one or number one on the radio. So it was amazing to flip it around and it felt it takes a lot to kind of, when you're a young musician, and even a lot of musicians, you're just very eager. You're very excited. You're like a freshman. You're like, oh, let's do this. We can do this- Barnes (39:38):What was the craziest thing that they threw at you? Lisa Loeb (39:41):Oh, I remember being on tour when the song was on the radio, but we weren't signed to a label yet. We were playing in Long Island I think and the bigwigs from Interscope took us to their mansion and let us go in their hot tub and they flew in on a helicopter to bring us pizzas from some special place. That was exciting, but yet even our A&R person who did sign with Jim Barbaro, as a young person who is in their early 20s, and I would still probably be excited about this today, they would take you to the grocery store, and you could buy any candy you want or like candy. Lisa Loeb (40:20):Or like, I'm taking you to a bookstore, and you can buy all the books you want. I was like, ooh, this is cool. You can buy any album you want. I would walk at a tower records with just bags of albums and CDs. It was crazy. Cubby (40:34):You don't mind talking about the song today, still. I really appreciate that. You still tell the great story and you're cool with being that song like such a part of your, being the biggest part of your life. Lisa Loeb (40:46):I definitely at the beginning, it was a little bit hard to be a kid who's like 24, 25, 26 years old and having been doing music my whole life and working so hard and putting out albums and people saying, oh, you're an overnight success. You just had that one song. To me, it was like, no, I've been working on singing and playing and recording my whole life. In the video, which was so cool that Ethan directed it, it was really, and I know the record company was excited that this famous actor is directing a video, but really what was cool about it was, it was a unique idea. Lisa Loeb (41:21):A one take video where I'm talking to the camera and telling my story, but I wasn't playing my guitar. So I had to fight this thing of like, oh, you're a pop singer, because I didn't have my guitar, you didn't see my band. You didn't know that I rehearsed with the band, and I tell everybody what to do and I write the songs and I arrange them and I work with, you didn't know the whole story. So for a few years, I did feel like I was fighting like, I'm a real musician, and you don't know the whole story. Lisa Loeb (41:46):Then I realized, soon thereafter, it might have been because VH1 behind the scenes was popular, watching some of the more seasoned musicians and the situations they had been through and even talking to musicians who were popular, and seeing how they looked at their hit songs, people who I was excited about in the 80s which seems so far away, but it was like two years before that or whatever. Lisa Loeb (42:08):Hearing them talk about it made me realize like, this is cool. Yes, I like when people know I've made almost 20 albums and I love when people know different songs, but to even have that one song that connects with people is such an amazing thing. Because I play live so much and even now I'm not playing live in a venue of course, but I do a lot of Facebook lives and Instagram lives and I have a fan club and there's so much connection with the fans that cameo messages. Lisa Loeb (42:37):I get to feel and hear those stories about the song and what it means to people and that means a lot to me. I was a big music fan growing up. I was a DJ growing up. I love hearing that from the other side. So I appreciate that- Barnes (42:50):Whoa, whoa, whoa, you were a DJ? Lisa Loeb (42:53):I was a DJ in high school for three years. There was a radio station at the boys school. I went to the girls school in Dallas, and at the Boys School, St. Mark's school they let me be a DJ. I think I was the only girl. It was at 88.5 KRSM. From the songs, ad also I was like the music director but I wasn't allowed to be the program director because I wasn't at the boy school. They made me the music director. I used to bring in these big peaches crates of records, you know those big wooden crates, and I was this tiny little 15 year old. Lisa Loeb (43:24):I'm still like a tiny little something else year old, but I would bring in these huge crates of records and I would play everything you always wanted to hear, but maybe you didn't own. So it would go from Led Zeppelin to a local Dallas band to a man falling down the stairs to a new wave track or whatever I felt like playing and it was so much fun and I also DJ'd parties. I loved music so much. Lisa Loeb (43:47):I collected it, I'd met the artists, we'd interview people. So to be on the other side of that is I appreciate the whole thing. I feel like I have more perspective and yes, it's awesome when people know every new song on your new record, like the new record, I Just put out in February, but it's also awesome if people the words and have a relationship with a song that I put out 26 years ago. Cubby (44:12):Well, it's so cool that you, I mean, again, you've done so many huge things and you still don't mind talking about how it all started. I want to talk about some of the new music actually. You sent me a song that came out a few months ago. It's called This Is My Life. Now, was this a one take video by the way? It was a pretty creative video. Lisa Loeb (44:30):This is not a one take video, but we did shoot it in my house and nowadays, it's funny. Back when we started making records in the 80s and 90s, you had a couple of videos. Now you need a video for every single song on your record. So we made 11 videos for the record A Simple Trick to Happiness and one of the videos is, This Is My Life and I'm playing an enormous Jenga game. Because life is kind of like Jenga, you're carefully trying to make the moves and then it can all fall apart. Then you build it up again and you start over again. In the video, there's more than one of me. It's like inspired by Bewitched. Cubby (45:03):I want to play you a little bit of your song. Check this out. Cubby (45:14):(singing). Cubby (45:34):All hook, baby. Nothing but hook. Lisa Loeb (45:37):That chorus weirdly, I don't know if you know The Monkees very well, but it's funny because the verses to me feel very much like Spoon. I love the band Spoon and they're very like tight and chunky and it reminds me of the 60s sort of blues inspired music of the who and those bands that I love so much. Then the chorus is I really wanted it to feel like this song Randy Scouse Git. There's a song called Randy Scouse Git by The Monkees and it's just like crazy and over compressed and everything's swirling around and we just kept having to add things, add things, add things to make it as noisy as possible. Leslie (46:11):What I love about this new record is you exude positivity. You always do. So you hear a song from you and it's Lisa Loeb, but even in the song Shine that you had, it's such positivity about life. Is this album really about looking inward and saying, you know what, this is my life and I'm happy, and I'm enjoying the simple things in life? Lisa Loeb (46:30):It is. It's funny, it's like, some people listen to it and say it's very positive and other people I've heard say, oh my God, it's so depressing, but in a good way. It is that. It's like I've always looked at things and as I've gone along, I've been able to put my finger on it and I even named an album this, The Way It Really Is. I like looking at things the way they are and the album is very personal to me. Lisa Loeb (46:50):I didn't try to hide things or anything. I wrote songs that were very important to me right now and I've found, it's been out a couple months. I find that other people in their lives really can relate to it because it does acknowledge that things can be hard, and things can get in your way and things aren't always the way you expect which now more than ever, oh my gosh, who knew what was happening right after the album came out that we would close everything down and have this crazy virus happening and all the racism and things just bubbling to the top. Lisa Loeb (47:22):So right in our faces all the time and all these important things and things can be really hard but you can realize and in the songs, like you said there can be positivity you realize, wait, I have what I need, or wait even with all the bad stuff I look in my life and you know what, there are some really cool things here and trying to appreciate those things. Lisa Loeb (47:44):I have a song called Another Day that's on the record and we just shot a video for another song in my house. We decided to shoot a lot in my house because it was such a personal album and we just shot another video we had to move all this stuff around the house to get it where it needed to be. So all of a sudden, I started picking things up like mom's, no offense to anybody, but often moms are just picking up, picking up, picking something off the floor, picking things up. Lisa Loeb (48:11):I told the videographer, the director I was working with, I'm like, start shooting me. This is the video for Another Day, because this is what it's about. It's those everyday moments and Cubby, you know now that you've got this baby, cute, it's just like, it's oh my gosh, oh my gosh, this is tough. I'm picking up this thing, all these little things in my daily life. Then just this glimpse of a moment that just makes everything worth it and it's just this unusual thing and I realized that's what it is while I'm picking up my entire house. Lisa Loeb (48:41):Then there's the thing that you see or a thing that you interact with your family for just a moment in a positive way. Not always positive but in a positive way. So the song, Another Day captures that. We can do this for another day, but like I say in the song, some of the days are not enough. Sometimes it's just so tough. Barnes (48:58):Is your song, My Third Bottle of Wine on there also? Is that on this album? Lisa Loeb (49:03):It's not yet. I do not drink enough, you guys. It's my problem. I drink coffee in the morning and now I drink a little more coffee in the afternoon, but I just don't drink enough. I tried, every year. Ever since 1994, there was like more in '94. I'm going to drink more. It's like my goal. Barnes (49:22):The one problem you cause in households with your success, Lisa Loeb, which my wife is a huge fan. She won't say hi, she's sitting right here. Lisa Loeb (49:31):I saw her walk by. Hey. I see a hand. Barnes (49:33):She will be in the kitchen like dinnertime. It'll be Alexa, play Lisa Loeb and then this happens. Barnes (49:47):(singing). Barnes (49:47):Hold on, I want to hear your rap. Barnes (49:49):(singing). Barnes (49:56):I say that's a problem because you're having wine, you're hanging out and your children's music gets mixed in with your regular music and Alexa doesn't know the difference and it's funny. Lisa Loeb (50:06):It is funny. I will say that a lot of the children's music is really, other than the nursery rhyme record which I did for Amazon, which I did like over 32 nursery rhymes. I didn't really appreciate nursery rhymes. I initially started making kids music, especially after my first record for kids. It was really for me, it was my nostalgia of growing up in the 70s. I'm actually I'm wearing a mood ring right now even, but it was my nostalgia. It wasn't because I liked kids or knew anything about kids. I loved, like even that song you just played from my album, Feel What U Feel, to me it's more like (singing). Lisa Loeb (50:46):All the songs we listened to rollerskating in the 70s and this era, where the grown up stuff and the kids stuff, it was a little bit more intertwined like the old Sesame Street from the 70s was really funny and clever and dry and grownups definitely could appreciate it. Then you had grown ups stuff like the Donny & Marie show and Fernwood 2 Night and stuff that was just so, and Steve Martin and things that appealed to children because they had a funny sense of humor and storytelling and so I wanted to do that. So that's what a lot of my kids music is. So it's okay if it gets mixed, even when I- Barnes (51:20):It's just funny because when you're drinking, the last thing I want to hear is (singing). It's just so funny. Lisa Loeb (51:27):Some people don't know the difference between the grown up stuff and the kid stuff- Cubby (51:29):You got to keep drinking, Steve. Lisa Loeb (51:30):Yeah, right. Barnes (51:32):That's the music that got you a Grammy. You've had such a weird career that's like, I would have given you a Grammy for Stay. Cubby (51:38):You got the eyewear from, that was 2010 I believe. You- Lisa Loeb (51:43):Yes. I have an eyewear line called Lisa Loeb Eyewear. Barnes (51:46):You're a total hustler. I love that. Entrepreneurs- Lisa Loeb (51:48):I just have lots of ideas and I like to do them. Leslie (51:51):Yeah, you're exploring all your passions, and when you're independent, you can do that, which is exactly what you've been doing successfully. Lisa Loeb (51:57):Well, when we all started out, you do one thing. Oh, you're a DJ. Okay, you're just a DJ, that's all you can do. You're not allowed to do anything else, but now if you have other ideas you can do them in it's totally cool. It's totally fine. I'm so excited that that is accepted and the norm actually. If you decided to open your jalapeno, whatever, your hot sauce company, your pet shelter, whatever you want to do, people are interested in that. They don't think oh, you're not a real DJ now because you have a pet shelter. They think, oh, that's so cool. Barnes (52:31):We were just talking off air. I'm about to open my gazpacho company. I'm going to be selling my courts of Barnes' pacho. It's my ancient- Lisa Loeb (52:40):Are you serious? Barnes (52:41):Oh, yeah. Lisa Loeb (52:42):See, I think it's so exciting and people want to know. Barnes (52:45):I'm ordering labels today people. Lisa Loeb (52:47):See. Barnes (52:48):I'm going there. Lisa Loeb (52:48):My daughter has a slime business. I know all about labels, containers, shipping. We're getting into the whole thing. Cubby (52:54):By the way, Lisa, what do you do? You look exactly the same from when I met you. I don't know what you're doing. I don't know what pill you're taking to stay young. Lisa Loeb (53:02):I drink water. I drink water. I think I focus on sleep. I eat well. I eat what I like, which is really great. Like pizza, little mini ice cream cones. A lot of broccoli, a lot of kale, a lot of vegetables. So I eat well, I sound like one of those dog food commercials. I eat well, exercise, but I do. I walk every day or take a bike ride. I do strength training a couple times a week. Barnes (53:28):You don't drink a lot. Lisa Loeb (53:29):I don't drink a lot, which might be the thing. Also, I'm always interested in things, and I wear sunscreen. I wear sunscreen every day. Leslie (53:37):That's a good tip. Lisa Loeb (53:38):Sunscreen and hats, but I wear a mask now all the time outside. I try to stay engaged and things and I try to, like we were talking about my album. It's not about being positive all the time, but it's about I try to look inward. I try to see what's going on in my life, what I would like to change about how I'm acting, what I'm doing, what's going on with me and my relationships and my family. It's not always good, it's not always perfect, but just this kind of introspection, looking at my life, trying to figure out how to grow as a human. Lisa Loeb (54:12):I'm always learning. I try to think about, well, what can I do for fun? Like I love crossword puzzles. I started printing out my Sunday New York Times crossword puzzle on Sunday, and I put my schedule on the back and throughout the week, I just work on my crossword. So I try to stay engaged. Keep doing things that I love. Cubby (54:27):You actually did a crossword puzzle with, I was reading with Doug Peterson of the New York Times. Lisa Loeb (54:32):Yes, I got to write a crossword puzzle. Oh my gosh, that was a huge thing. I was thinking about random things that I'm so excited about. I've been doing the New York Times crossword puzzle for years and years. At first, I thought it was super boring. You know like those things where you listen to PBS with your grandmother and you're like, oh, my God, this is so boring and then you find yourself listening to NPR all the time. You're like, oh, okay. Nova used to be like, oh, they're putting Nova on the TV and now you're like, oh, that's really interesting. Lisa Loeb (54:58):So the crossword puzzle used to be really boring to me. I think it was difficult, but then I loved doing it and they asked me to write a crossword puzzle for the New York Times, which was just so exciting. I love that. It's just so different and it was like writing a song, this collaboration with another person to write a crossword Cubby (55:14):Was it hard? Lisa Loeb (55:16):It was hard, but I was working with a seasoned professional. If you've ever been on Southwest Airlines, this guy, Doug writes all the crossword puzzles for Southwest. He's written books and books of crossword puzzles. So it was really fun to work with him. Leslie (55:28):Do your kids know that their mom is Lisa Loeb. I mean, come on. Lisa Loeb (55:33):Sort of. It was funny last night was putting my daughter to sleep. I read with both kids every night. I think it's kind of selfish. It's kind of like watching a TV show because we read these great books. So I'm like, we got to get another chapter in. So I'm reading my own book and I'm reading books to all of them, but my daughter, I had all this makeup on because I do cameos, these messages and also they started doing Zoom meetings. Lisa Loeb (55:54):So I had a Zoom cameo where I get to actually hang out with somebody and talk to them. I did a bunch of cameos and I had some other stuff I had to shoot so I had eyelashes on and my whole full face of makeup, which I do way more than a lot of other people normally do during COVID-19. I have full face of makeup often. It's weird when I'm in the neighborhood and I see the other moms. I'm like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm wearing like eyelashes and you could photograph me from a mile away and see all my features. Lisa Loeb (56:20):My daughter took my face in her hands and she said, "You look like Lisa Loeb." I was like oh instead of like, I do the mom lobe of like, I'm tired. Can you please pick up your socks? I had my lashes. Because when you have that makeup on, you just look like you're awake and you're from the 60s. Your face is stuck that way. Barnes (56:40):You look like you're in the 60s right now. What room are you in? I see a landline rotary dial telephone on the counter. Lisa Loeb (56:47):I know. I like that. That's the other thing. I am in my guestroom office. I do writing over here. I've been writing a lot at my grandfather's old metal desk, which I love and I've got all my books, well, not all my books, some of my books and stuff. This is the guest room, which for a while was the storage room because my husband turned the garage into his screening room. So everything from the garage came in here, but anyway, I've been clearing this out a lot. Lisa Loeb (57:14):This is a guest room/my work writing room but I'm obsessed with things from the past also. I think I'm going to do a YouTube something experience. Think about this, the things that you eat, the things that you listen to, you smell, you can go in a time machine. If you put on a song from the 70s like (singing). Play that, wear some 1970s clothes of like when you're a child, I don't know jeans that are really stiff. Cubby (57:48):But only serve food from that era. Lisa Loeb (57:50):Yes. So then you walk, and you literally you listen to the song and then you say can I have a piece of pepperoni pizza and a coke please. Maybe in an accent some from Texas. Can I have

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 81: John Downer and Richard Jones Director John Downer and cinematographer Richard Jones have always had a love of animals. John went to work for the BBC after film school and quickly moved into the BBC Natural History division. Richard grew up in Kenya and started out in the film industry, then went to work with a wildlife filmmaker in Botswana, soon picking up a camera and teaching himself. They both agree that to be a good wildlife documentarian, it's important to spend a great deal of time around the animals, in order to understand and anticipate what they are going to do and capture it on camera. For the Discovery Channel/BBC series Serengeti, John and Richard felt for the first time that all the camera technology was finally advanced enough to capture the true nature of the animal's lives. They were able to use small, high quality hidden remote cameras that are durable and “lion proof,” as well as a special array of cameras with long lenses on a stabilization system attached to their vehicles, so Richard could shoot while the jeep was driving. While wild animals are definitely not directable, John and Richard knew what wildlife they wanted to follow as characters with the script following the changing seasons as an overarching story plotline. Serengeti follows the interconnected stories of a cast of savannah animals over one year, capturing the drama of the wildlife up close. It was important for John and producer Simon Fuller to show that animals are a lot like us and we are all in this world together.
