So because I remember like borderline and stuff.
Garrett GonzalesHOST
But the other albums had already been out, but I would go back and they would show the older videos.
Garrett GonzalesHOST
So those are kind of my hazy memories of Madonna.
Garrett GonzalesHOST
I did not watch the VMAs where she performed Like a Virgin live.
Mike JosephHOST
Yeah, I mean, I was, we were eight.
Mike JosephHOST
And I was not, you know, I...
Mike JosephHOST
When I was growing up, when I was that age, right? Like there were certain things I could watch on TV and it was basically like cartoons and the Cosby show.
Mike JosephHOST
So MTV was definitely not in the equation at all.

Ian VaughnHOST
A lot of groups, they're singing three-quarter of them, they got four and five members, which is a triad the whole time.
Ian VaughnHOST
I want to hear some complications in there, you know what I mean? So, getting back to the business, making the band, you guys came together as a group.
Ian VaughnHOST
Talk about, first of all, from the very beginning, where you guys were being green to the business, and now being 20 years in the game.

He was very hungry.
Dani MercyHOST
the first record did he produce sold two million copies the only reason he actually produced that record is because the producer that was supposed to work on it didn't show up in an interview with oprah about his time at uptown he said he was like a wonder kid and he didn't know where he got his talent from but he knew exactly what each song needed to sound like and would take the artist in that direction and he knew how to give the artist direction while there he worked as a talent director and helped to develop artists like mary j blige And his partying didn't stop after he left college.
Dani MercyHOST
