Live w/ Joe Biz & Gwenny G! Meet Youngstown
Sept 22, 1999
JoeBiz: Hey! Onliners! Are you there? Cause we are ready to blast off with our first electrifying hour of Live with JoeBiz and Gwenny G! I'm JoeBiz.
Gwenny G: And I'm Gwenny G. Welcome to our totally awesome show, full of excitement, frolic, and lots of fun-filled chat!
JoeBiz: Now some of you may be asking, "JoeBiz, what is "Live with JoeBiz & Gwenny G!"?
Gwenny G: Don't look at me, I already know what it is!
JoeBiz: For those of you who don't know, "Live with JoeBiz & Gwenny G!" is the hippest, hottest, most happening talk show online!
Gwenny G: Hosted by the 2 coolest cats around! We're coming to you LIVE from the entertainment capital of the world, Hollywood, USA. And have we got a show for you today! Today's guest happens to be one of the hottest new music groups around!
JoeBiz: In case you're wondering which young lads we're talking about, you can hear their melodic voices singing that hit song, "I'll Be Your Everything" in the movie "Inspector Gadget"! (sings)
Gwenny G: That's right, thanks to Radio Disney, today's special guests are Sammy, DC, and Dallas, the talented guys from Youngstown! Let's hear it for Youngstown! And you can hear Youngstown all the time when you tune into RADIO DISNEY. Those DJs are big fans of this talented trio!
JoeBiz: We love Radio Disney! I listen daily. (sings again)
Gwenny G: JoeBiz, please! Spare us! Now today is Wednesday, September 22. Did you know that something very important happened on this day back in 1862? President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, saying that slaves would be free!
JoeBiz: Freedom! We like that! You don't suppose our President would issue some sort of Proclamation about our show's debut today? Do you?
Gwenny G: What do YOU think? I think the President has more important things on his mind than to boost your ego! Sorry to burst your bubble, there, JoeBiz. Like your ego needs any more boosting?
JoeBiz: Well, I think this IS an important event. After all, this is our very first show; what else can be more exciting?
Gwenny G: After we win our first award, then we'll see. But maybe we're jumping just a little ahead of ourselves. We've gotta do the show first!
JoeBiz: Who says no? But speaking of today, did you know that exactly one year ago today, the movie SCOOBY DOO on ZOMBIE ISLAND was released!
Gwenny G: Well, thanks for that enlightening fact JoeBiz! I don't think I'd rate it equally with The Emancipation Proclamation though!
JoeBiz: Why is everything you say always more important than what I have to say?
Gwenny G: Not everything I say is more important. Just almost anything I say. But sometimes you do come out with a winner! I seem to remember there was something you said 6 months ago. . .
JoeBiz: Alright, moving on! Since we're dwelling on important things, why don't some of you tell us what YOU'RE celebrating today?
Gwenny G: And if you're not celebrating something today, close your eyes and imagine you're in Bulgaria, cause it's their Independence Day!
JoeBiz: Bulgaria, now that's a country! I've always wanted to visit Bulgaria. Where is Bulgaria, anyway? Isn't it somewhere across the ocean?
Gwenny G: Well, it's not in your back yard.

LuvDallas: How do you get your ideas for the songs you write?
Dallas: Ideas can come from anything from the one thing you love most to the one thing you hate most. It can come from pain, joy, lauging, from anything.
LuvYngstwn: How do you decide who sings what in a particular song?
Dallas: We all know each other pretty well so listening to a song we can imagine who will sing what. We imagine who will sound like what, we know each others limitations. What one can't do the other can. It works out perfectly.
youngstownluvr16: hey i saw you guys at dineyland and it was the best night of my life...i was the one with some friends and we had those big signs! remember??

Youngstown: We love it. We love to travel. We especially love the bus. It is like you are in your home. We have everything. 2 TV's etc. We like the bus better than the plane. If we flew first class we would like it. (laughs)

youngstownfan79: I'm going Saturday! Woohoo!
Youngstown: Very Cool!
LuvDallas: Dallas, I read that the song "Jamie Lee" is a tribute to your Mother. What inspired you to write about your Mother?
Dallas: That is a good one. Basically, you have your ups and downs in your life and I wrote it to my Mom to let here know she is only human and you make mistakes. We are all very close to our Moms.
DC: I miss my Mom now but I keep in touch with her Via Internet and phone.
Snow_Angels2000: How did you guys first get noticed? Ive wanted to be a singer all my life, and ive been singin for music festivals, concerts, and many other community events... how do u think i could get noticed?
Dallas: Keep doing what you are doing. We started singing in malls. You never know who is listening to you.
CindyB: How did you get selected to do the "Inspector Gadget" song?
DC: It is a Disney movie and we got first dibs. Mitchell Lee came to us with the song. There wasn't a songtrack so we got the lead song for it. He came to us and everyone liked it. It was a for sure hit.

Youngstown: That is good!
Apples2: Have you guys done a lot of traveling and do you enjoy it?

DcSammyDallasRule: Youngstown when is your next video coming out?
Dallas: We just shot a video for "I'll Be Your Everything". Hopefullly it will be out in the next couple of weeks. We want something out for when the album comes out.
david_watson: How did you know you wanted to sing together?
Youngstown: We were all friends and DC and Dallas have been singing together since 1995. In 1998 the deal just came together. We came out on the first trip to LA and we got the deal. That is why the album is called "Let's Roll". We are like brothers.
DCLuvr77: My friend & I met you last Sunday at the Westminster mall, we hugged you by your van before you left, remember us?
Youngstown: Oh yes we do. What's up? Sammy wasn't around though. It was just Dallas and DC.

Dallas: I moved there in '95 and moved in with Sammy's parents
Sammy: I am the only one from there. I wasn't actually living with my parents. I was living on my own.
Dorothy2951: What were other names did you consider before you picked Youngstown???
Dallas: Part 4, B45, Suite4J. We were doing demos in NY and that was the apartment number. Everybody thought it was Sweet not Suite.

Youngstown: If we did, it wouldn't be a secret.
DCLuvr77: Describe what you look for in a girlfriend.
Dallas: Honesty, loyalty, sincerity and you have to know how to play video games.
DC: You have to have a sense of humor like myself.
Dallas: Looks is not the most important thing. Beauty has to come from within.
Nzyncfan14: Have you guys ever been to Disney World? That's my favorite place ever!
Dallas: No.
Sammy: I have been there 6 times. We are doing a WDW Special and it will air in December. We like the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland and Space Mountain rocks. We couldn't get our manager on it though Splash Mountain is so sweet.
Sweet_Daisy13: Your so hott!!! Do you have any idea of how much fan mail you get everyday?
Dallas: We know we are getting a lot. We are so busy that we are not able to check it ourself. Our website is up so now we can look it up.
DC: I have my own email address so it can be sent on that. We check it that way.
YTown544: I see that you wear a lot of jewelry. Is there any piece of jewelry you wear that is extremely important to you?
Dallas: It is all a possession so it is not that important.
Sammy: It's cool when people give us bracelets and we wear it on stage.
DC: (points to his own necklace) This is from a fan. We wear things that fans give us. They give us cool stuff.
Nzyncfan14: Do you think your connection with "Inspector Gadget" and Disney helped to boost your career?
Dallas: Most definitely. It doesn't hurt. It was a blessing to get "Inspector Gadget". People love the song!
zooger12130189: do you guys ever fight?
Dallas: We don't fist fight or anything. We argue. Everyone is going to argue.
JoeBiz: What about?
Youngstown: You aren't going to always have the same point. We argue about clothes, bathrooms, showers, who's not ready etc. Petty stuff like that. It's a toss-up between DC and Sammy who it takes longest to get ready.
Dallas: I was the first to start and finish today. 10 to 15 minutes to get ready for me.
Sammy: It takes me an hour. I have to shave twice a day. Sometimes I pick a cologne.
gyrodos: I'M YOUR BIGGEST FAN!
Youngstown: Thanks gyrodos!
Nzyncfan14: What is most humiliating thing that has ever happened to you when you were on-stage or on-camera?
Dallas: Sammy tripped and fell twice on stage.
Sammy: I tripped on and off the stage.
DC: I dropped my mike once.
Sammy: Once it was in the dark so nobody really saw me but I was the last one to go on and the camera people were the only ones that saw me.
Dallas: He started doing "Pedal To The Steel" routine to "Inspector Gadget". You have to laugh. You got to go with it. The audience is laughing with you.
Gwenny G: Have you guys checked out your section on the Radio Disney web site?
JoeBiz: I LOVE RADIO DISNEY! Woo Hoo!
DC: I have seen the trivia about us.
Dallas: I am in the process of buying my own computer.

Nzyncfan14: What CD's are in your CD player right now? - Jaime

DC: Sublime, Shania Twain, from country to rap and rock.
Sammy: Latin music to country and a lot of stuff. Mark Anthony, Jennifer Lopez. Sorry, no broadway show tunes JoeBiz!
sweet_q_t: I'M your BIGGEST fan!!!!!
DC: HI sweet_q_t! I think I have had you in my email before
sweet_q_t: What does it feel like to be FAMOUS??
Dallas: We don't even think about it. We feel the same that we did before.
DC: It is weird to have girls screaming and crying. We get off stage and we are back to us again.
DcSammyDallasRule: Guys, describe your dating style-Indiana Jones or Shakespeare In Love??!!
Dallas: Shakespeare and Jones. (laughs)
Sammy, DC, Dallas: We are all more "Shakespeare In Love". It is probably sweet and sincere. We are more that way.
Dallas: It is weird, we don't do anything new or different. Flowers, dinners, movies. A drive I did on one date. I rented a bike on a 2 seater bike.
DC: Rent videos and cuddle on the couch.

Youngstown: Yes there will be. The next single "Pedal To the Steel" after "I Will Be Your Everything".
Doglover: Now you guys are having a contest, "From Youngstown to Your Town." What can you tell us about that?
Youngstown: What you do is go to Disney.com and vote for your school. The one that has the most votes gets a free concert blast at your school. You can vote as many times as you want.
DcSammyDallasRule: Okay If two or more of you were interested in the same girl - how would you handle that?
Dallas: We would all just talk to her. We would pick up her vibe and if it gets too hectic we would have to cut it off. Nothing gets between us.
Nzyncfan14: I saw you guys on "Live with Regis and KathyLee" this summer. Are you going to be on any other TV shows any time soon?
Youngstown: Yes! "Donny and Marie". They film tomorrow and air the 30th or 1st.
YTown544: What does the C in DC stand for?
Youngstown: "Confused". My real name is David. I put my whole name when I give my autograph. It is given to me by these guys in the Studio. I will forget parts when we are recording so that is how I got it.
Dallas: That is my last name. Dallas is my last name.
