True story.

Kurt Loder.

Kurt Loder, Tabitha Soren, MTV News.

Da- Dan Cortese.

Dan Cortese, MTV Sports.

I remember watching it.

I remember watching Kurt Loder come across MTV.

break the news mm-hmm and I was so I think that was the first time a celebrity made me sad mm-hmm I can't fucking believe that they will fucking do this and it wasn't like you know when Tupac was getting shot, it was kind of like, he'll be rapping about it next week.

It was kind of like, he ain't never gonna die.

You're fine.

Smoke, you mentioned someone that made my ears perk up.

You mentioned that you had the news of Diddy passing from Kurt Loder on MTV.

Biggie.

And he uses choice words and I don't, I mean, we can get into his excuses for everything and, And it was a different time.

And even to hear the news, like you listen to Kurt Loder, like I listen to the news stories from MTV, and Kurt Loder is like, as Axl put it, and he goes ahead and says the word with the hard R and everything.

I know.

And you see Public Enemy talk about it.

videos.

And every now and then they take that like top of the hour break with like Kurt Loder or Tabitha Soren for the news break.

But now all it is, is shows.

So at that time, was it hard to have that pitch? Did they find you? Did you guys find them? Because that was very different than what they were doing at that time.

Yeah, so we got like three hours sleep and did that.

And then we got interviewed by Kurt Loder and Tabitha Soren at Port Apache.

And then we headlined the WBCN Rumble that night.

Or not headlined, but we're the special guest.

And the film is also... a great rewatch for New York City media cameos.

Again, if you're of my age and era, you're gonna see Pete Hamill, Mike McAleary, Graydon Carter, Rosanna Scotto, Chuck Scarborough, Joanna Molloy, Kurt Loder.

There's a bunch of little cameos in there are wonderful to see.

And this is the stuff of why we like Newspaper movies.

And the movie does dig at her, like the payoff to this whole scene is she follows him into the men's room.

Graham, I don't think you've run...

And Bob Costas and Kurt Loder are zipping up their flies.

But she retains her dignity somehow, even though she is the butt of the joke there.
