You're listening to the downbeat on ninety seven one the freak. The hell's going
on in Footworth? Mike, I can't answer that, dude. A lot.
Something else happened, something else bad. Maybe Dingood's Morning News will have
the answers. We will shed some light on the subject. Yes, there's
not more leakage of stuff in Fort Worth causing great harm to people. Yeah,
Fort Worth, come on, come on, y'all hold up your end
of the deal. Do better for Worth. Yeah, we got Dallas is
tight. Yeah, we never make mistakes over here. We have. By
the way, we podcast every single segment we do after the show. So
anything you missed from the week, go grab it. iHeartRadio app. You
know it's on Spotify, Spreaker, all the other places. Got some news
that just came in. So this. We had a discussion earlier in the
week about we were talking about Saday Night Live in how Justin Timberlake is gonna
be the musical guest tomorrow night on a new episode hosted by Dakota Johnson.
So Justin Timberlake and I was like, Okay, he hasn't released music in
like six years, so he's definitely releasing music and yesterday he released a song
Selfish, which I'll play a little clip of in a minute. Last popped
in plastic instrument concept. Did they put their ds in a box? They
put their DS in a box and went and slapped it around Lower east Side?
I mean, one of the more memorable SNL's ushered in a new era
of digital shorts for SNL. I thought, yeah, it skits since Saturday
on Sorday Live, right, Oh, yeah, you have to, dude,
he's good in all of those two. Why didn't they? Old dude,
they've got to bring Foulon back in to do Barry GiB talk show.
They have to. He works in the building, so surely he'll Yes,
Yes, everyone hates Jimmy Pound, one of my favorite sketches of all time,
and they have him double dip it. That's interesting. And I thought,
like, who hosted Dakota Johnson? Okay, what she did? What's
she into right now? Just kind of being the oh she got a film
coming out JJ? All right, she's just being the beautiful daughter of Don
Johnson and Melanie Griffin Griffith. That's an offshore power boating World champion Don Johnson.
Yes, now justin Timberlake's tour just hit. JJ just told me in
the break She's like, his tournois dropped just this morning, and I was
like, I knew i'd play in this segment earlier in the week. Great.
He will be Dicky's Arena June fourth. He's announced his tour that probably
has a weird name on it, because everyone names their tours. It does
so strange to me. What is it? The already Yeah, the Forget
Tomorrow World tour. Oh god, I'm just gonna be doing some shows.
How about I'm just going to be doing my name world tour. You know,
we don't have to name every tour people. Hey, forget Tomorrow?
Well, I think he means so you should care about today. Here's a
small clip of his new song that I don't really like. But here's you
know, ten seconds of it. Twenty second seven. That's Mark Rugby A
I'm pretty sure awesome and I wouldn't be surprised. But they don't know you,
baby, I would. This is nothing on the nude in sync song.
I like it better now than I did yesterday. Yeah, I don't
dislike it when you always stop it. I know I want to hear the
whole tune. Yeah, I think you hate it. Eight seconds playing the
whole tune. You have to get to the chorus. You're gonna play a
boy band hit, you have to at least give us the chorus. Then
play sexy idiot playing a good song. You play six seconds and then stops
and complaints the first eight words, no good, not a hit? All
right, say it wasn't a hit. It could be. It's still not
be good garbage. Well, I was thinking about all these like boy bands
and then they have one guy that broke out, and if you don't care
about this, really stick around because Danny is going to light you up with
knowledge that I didn't even know about until we're discussing in the break room the
other day. I was thinking, in sync is you know probably my era
of just being twelve years old and they're huge on TRL and he's the breakout
star. But we've seen it with Mike's guy Juhng Kook from BTS. That's
right. Obviously Harry Styles has been a huge breakout from one direction? Is
he he's bigger than JT now, like right now? I mean yeah,
because he's forty three, you know, like yeah, I mean that's and
Harry's you know, late twenties. That's the only reason. But who would
listen to someone older than forty three for entertainment purposes? Apparently no one.
Mike Danny Baylor, Shit, Mike, don't put thoughts into anyone's head.
Uh yeah. JT's sort of the template for doing it all. And isn't
he a good actor? But he just doesn't do that much. I tell
you what was his time? Timeless, time Watch, Wristwatch. He was
in the hit movie wrist Watch. Okay, I'm on the right track,
Alpha Dog, No, okay, he was good wrist He was good in
that Timeless, the Facebook movie he was in. You don't remember that one?
Where is in the future? Help me? What's the name of it?
Timeless with a man of sea Fred? I don't know where. You
had the damn clock on it? So you have this. When the clock
runs out on your wrist, that's when you die, so you can acquire
and purchase more time and time? Is it in time? That sounds movie
he was in, I don't know, that's probably it. No, I'm
sure it was Wristwatch. And all the rich people are at their fancy parties
and they have like hundreds of thousands of days or hours or million hours on
their way, and then the poor people are like, oh my god,
you know you only have aunt of times? Do you steal someone's time?
You kind of like a black mirror type. No, absolutely black mirror.
And I don't know. I thought it was awesome. Oh he's great.
I think I think he's good. I mean the rest movie he's been in
his trolls, but all right, great movie. I don't need this.
Oh okay, JJ's got it. Okay. So I mean you can't even
go back to like New Kids on the Block get a lot of breakout stars
from from that band, right, I mean Donnie Wahlberg, who was who
had had the best solo career out of Backstreet Boys. That's a tough one.
I would say. You would probably say it was Nick Carter. None
of them really, none of them are comparative to to that. Now,
look, if you want to go back to the Osmond's and you can.
Yeah, if you want to go back to the Jackson five, yeah you
absolutely can do that. I think those are a little bit but it's way
different, a little bit different. But those were kind of family bands.
They I think they actually were organic. I think those things organically happen when
you think of the boy band, right, you think of the concept of
a I don't know, some pretty user that kind of fabricates these and gets
outsources songs and gets them in a studio and then creates a what's an actual
product to market and sell is on the job. So it is kind of
unusual that something that is so fabricated outside of that those confines that you would
have any of those members reach like superstar status, you know, like the
Harry Styles, JT's of the world, like people like that. It just
seems kind of unlikely that that would happen. But it's sort of a perfect
storm because they're they're they're farmed and brought in and the most talented ones are
put into this prefab boy band that's designed for, you know, the success
that they have. But you are getting talented, good looking people and then
they become famous and they're more likely to have their careers catch fire. But
I mean, no one would argue that the Harry Styles and Justin Timberlake are
talented cool dudes. Sure, absolutely, So all of this conversation about these
boy bands kind of got me thinking, it's like you know a lot of
these boy bands in LA. I think a lot of them came from Florida,
I believe New York. One direction was a UK Simon cal you know
UK. Yeah, he found his guys and groomed him, put it on
the X Factor, you know, and they went and won. But he
was kind of he kind of discovered them or whatever, right when I never
liked them or whatever. But you know, the Harry Styles story is very
interesting to me. And two of those other guys like have a solo career.
It's just not as big like JT, who can go b on SNL.
So it got me thinking back. I saw these bands were kind of
happening in the early mid two thousands, like that second wave of them,
and I was at the time playing in a couple of I don't know,
more like indie folk type bands around that era in the mid two thousands,
a band called sorta in a band called Sparrows, And you know, I'd
heard about this group. They were not adjacent to what I was doing at
all, but there was a little buzz about this band that came out of
the DFW area back then, and I did a little internet sleuthing and I
was able to find out a little bit more about them. The name of
the band was called Loads for You, and it's spelled l O A d
Z the number four and the letter you. It's kind of a weird names,
like maybe like loads of love, you know, loads of money.
Maybe that's kind of what I'm assuming, but Loads for You it kind of
goes along with some of the other weird boy band NAMESC has the N,
not I N, it's N and then what was nicolas? Even in music,
you know blink one two or you know, there's always bands of numbers
in them. Right. So Loads for You was formed, believe it or
not, in Uless in two thousand and four. I've never heard of it.
This was a mid Cities group of kids or a young men. These
guys were I think largely in their early twenties, formed in Ulyss in two
thousand and four, and they were put together by a restaurant tour slash wanna
be music producer. Now. This guy owned a string of restaurants back then
called Taketo Dreams, and he recruited five young men that he called from a
local talent show that was held I think a year before at Hewlen mall.
I hate when he mentions his food on our morning show because I get hungry.
Now I'm hungry for Taketo's. Yeah. So the owner of Taketo dreams
he wants to be like a music producer and he sees these guys at a
talent show and is like, you know what, I'm going to pick the
ones that I think are the best. And I've got some songs. I
got a buddy that's a songwriter. I'm gonna put them in the studio and
we're gonna make freaking record. Well, he gets them all together, all
right, So gets them in a recording studio and they put out this debut
EP. It's like six songs, and believe it or not, back then
it kind of became a local radio success around these parts on certain stations that
would play that type of music. In fact, they played a lot locally
back then in their short career. And believe it or not, an iHeart
station at the time sponsored one of their concerts, and we have I was
actually able to find the sweeper for a Loads for U concert that happened in
Dallas in two thousand and four. JJ, you'll play that all this when
station? Hey, this is Nick Kreamer? You remember me? It's h
J and Theomproom. It's me Garland Richardson Junior, and I'm CLEF and we're
from Lost. Join us tonight for a special concert at aw Shucks on Lower
Greenville, brought to you by Kiss FM, the number one hit music station.
Okay, so how do you find that? Did Zach find that?
Yeah? I got a little bit of help from I think it was Ao.
He turned he's like the gatekeeper of all the archives. So the loads
for you? What? Then again? Okay, so the band leader sounds
like he's the one doing most of the talking. Is this guy named Nick
Nick Kreamer? Okay, I feel like I remember him. Yeah, a
guy named Armando Alvarez. A dude named Garland Richardson Junior. So I guess
he's the son of the famous start car racer of the the seventies and early
eighties. A kid named h J. And then and then Cliff Cliff.
Yeah. Now, I was able to unearth a couple of promo photos of
this band, and they they kind of look like what you would expect their
names to represent. Yea, you know, there's there's three of them that
are kind of you know, good looking dudes, Nick Kreamer, Garland Richards
is really handsome. And then this kid named h J kind of the heart
throb, the secret heart throb of the group. And then they have you
know, multicultural, So they've got Armando Alvarez, a Hispanic kid, Latino
kid with an incredible, beautiful high voice. And then Cliff Cliff's African American
kid. And he's a little bit larger than the rest of them, Okay,
wider, wider anyway, So they you know, did some shows,
but fame outside of the Metroplex escaped Loads for You, and within sixteen months
the members of Loads for You disbanded due to substance abuse. There was some
sex scandals, there was a suicide, oh oh god, and a string
of low level crimes like car burglaries and loitering. They're spiraling. Yeah,
so the band just disappeared. One of the kids, you know, ended
up taking his own life, obviously, the heart throb HJ. Yeah,
you know, he couldn't handle the local fame and once it ended, you
know, he realized, it's like, this is as good as my life's
ever gonna get. So he ended up taking his own life. Rest in
peace. HJ So, after almost twenty years of working as a customer service
rep for Alamo Rental car, the band leader, Nick Kreamer, the main
guy, at the age of forty three years old, is primed to release
his first solo album ever, the first music that any member of Loads for
You has released in almost twenty years. So he's got a brand new album
out, Nick Kreamer. His album is titled All Petered Out. Now would
you say, would you say Nick Kreamer was the one who had the most
talent in the band. Yeah, there's no question. He was definitely the
JT the Harry styles of his spokesman when doing interviews and yeah, as you
could hear in the sweeper, you know, JJ. Can we play that
sweeper one more time? This is Kiss FM from two thousand and four,
all the Hits one station. Hey, this is Nick Kreamer. You remember
me. It's h Jen and it's me Garland Richardson Junior and I'm CLEP and
