• 1:25
  Speaker 1: is alive and well and we are back, baby, We're back.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because it had been alternative at that point.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Right music at that time had been really rocky.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Which no one's complaining about. Yeah, we like it, but
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: it was for me, it was the moment I realized
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: it just personally. Was one of the first appearances I
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: did with the morning show at Z was with the
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Backstreet Boys. So this was like having come from Q
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: one oh four when they were in New York's pure rock.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: That format is done right, So I wasn't. I honestly
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: at that point didn't know the back Street Boys. I
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: just really had just started and there was a panel
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: and I forget where we are, but obviously a public
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: place where listeners could come, and I sat down and
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: as soon as they opened the doors and the girls
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: came in they started crying. They were so moved by
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: seeing the Backstreet Boys, which was our young producer Kristen
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: uh out there, so to speak. They were so moved
• 2:24
