Your VJs of very granular facts are back with behind-the-scenes stories from MTV's beloved countdown extravaganza. You'll hear all about the unholy bromance between Carson Daly and Kid Rock, the time he took the Backstreet Boys to their very first strip club, and the painfully awkward interview between him and Prince. Jordan and Heigl also discuss the moment when the BSB vs. NSYNC battle almost turned deadly on the air (and give their picks for the ultimate boy band), reminisce about the time Fred Durst blew up a boat, revel in Eminem's TRL-related beef with Mark Wahlberg, chuckle at the time Tom Green's "Bum Bum Song" caused a minor production crisis, and marvel at the crazy lengths fans went to get themselves inside MTV's Times Square studios. They'll also explore the complex pop cultural/technological convergence that made TRL the original example of social media, and also explain how these shifting trends ultimately doomed the show. And, of course, they'll get into the Mariah Carey ice cream incident.
