History
History
The “Love Life” originally started off as
“Hondo’s Midnight Love” and ran
during the 1996-97 season on FM 90. It was
strictly a call in
request/dedication love song show that aired
Sunday nights. After the
season ended and the show appeared over due to
“Hondo’s” graduation from
Bemidji State. The FM 90 sales director of the
time wanted to renew the
show due to its ability to pull in the
advertising dollar.
The sales director then approached the on-air
personality of Dr. Dave and
proposed a renewal. After some thought, Dr. Dave
took him up on the idea
but with a few conditions. 1.)He did not want to
extend “Midnight Love”, he
instead wanted to re-vamp the show and make it
his own. 2.)He wanted
creative freedom to make the show interesting.
3.)He wanted to bring in a
co-host of his own choosing. After agreeing to
Dr. Dave’s conditions, FM 90
agreed and the show was off. Dr. Dave consulted
his friend (Batman) about
helping to create and host the new show.
On Sunday September 14, 1997, the temporarily
titled “Love Show” first aired
from nine to midnight on FM 90. It wasn’t until
the next week that they
adopted their official title, “The Love Life.”
Dr. Dave and the Batman
continued the dedication/request love songs but
also gabbed a lot, and
featured a weekly topic that listeners could call
in to comment on.
However, around late October, it became apparent
that a two-guy love show
was not all that it could be, they needed
estrogen! Dr. Dave began
searching for a third co-host that would add a
female to the mix. However,
his search was short lived, being as that he knew
immediately who he wanted
to join the cast. He spoke to his next-door
neighbor (who would ultimately
become Special K) about teaming up, and without
hesitation, she said “yes!”
In late November 1997, Special K joined Dr. Dave
and the Batman on the air
and “The Love Life” has never been better off.
From there, the show
acquired a cult-like following that continues to
grow, much to the delight
of the cast and crew. The show is checked-in on
by attentive listeners such
as Fart Monkey, the Foxman and of course, Fiddle
Faddle among many others.
In May 1998, the show ended its inaugural season
and was picked up for
another year, to begin in the fall.
In late August 1998, “The Love Life” returned for
its second season, but
with the forthright knowledge that they would
eventually lose one of their
own. The Batman had accepted an offer to study
overseas in Great Britain for
the first half of 1999, therefore not being able
to continue the show. The
cast decided to give the Batman the ability to
choose his successor to the
microphone, and throughout the fall and early
winter, the Batman looked at
various candidates. Finally, he decided on his
old high school buddy (Jason
Chase) to replace him once he left. Jason Chase
filled in for the Batman as
a guest host the week before the Batman’s
departure, and the following week,
in mid-December 1998, the Batman said goodbye and
jetted off to England.
When January 1999 rolled around, Jason Chase
officially joined Dr. Dave and
Special K for their late-nite Sunday harassment
sessions, as Dr. Dave calls
it. The show has steadily grown forward and
onward since.
“The Love Life” has returned for it’s third and
probable final season this
fall. However, the beginning of the third season
has been marred by disputes
over the show itself between the cast and the
powers that be at FM 90. As
they battle to save their show, they will
continue to do their best to have
fun and entertain their captive Bemidji and
Internet listeners. However,
the three regular cast members will be facing
graduation next year and will
be unable to return once they do. But until
then, the show will live on,
featuring special appearances by Jiggly Jill,
periodic appearences by Nurse
Dana and The Batman and some appearances by the
“Love Life” crew, Haveeb,
Daddy, Stan, Sky, Monty, and some kid named
Billy.
The Crew
Jason Chase-The newest member of the show joined
in January 1999. He offers
a laid-back quality to the show that is very
“Hootie-like” and is the only
cast member who didn’t finish the first annual
Scooter Tractor Pull. He is
an industrial technology major in his fourth year
at Bemidji State
University. His long-time girlfriend, Des,
frequently makes surprise
appearances on-air. He has nice hair too.
INFO TIDBIT: He’s very tall and once went
swimming while wearing a
three-piece suit.
MOST HEARD QUOTE: “Uh, okay.”
LOOKS LIKE: A cross between Pierce Brosnan and a
constipated chimp.
Email me!! Comments, questions, suggestions.....
Special K-Probably the most sought after addition
to the show, joined-up in
November 1997. She is the first lady of Sunday
nights and keeps her
testosterone co-hosts grounded. Dr. Dave has
called her “the show’s saving
grace” and “spandex goddess.” She is a fifth
year BSU student majoring in
elementary education. She also has legs, and
knows how to use them.
INFO TIDBIT: She’s afraid of thunderstorms.
Anyone for a good cuddle?
MOST HEARD QUOTE: “Stop touching me!”
LOOKS LIKE: B’Elanna Torres, Belinda Jensen and
Jenna Elfman all rolled in
to one.
Dr. Dave-The founding father behind “The Love
Life”, oldest co-host and head
crewmember, began the show with the Batman in
September 1997. He is easily
the most bizarre of the group and just simply
cannot find the power to ever
shut up. This fifth year BSU student is a major
in mass communication with
a minor in sex education. He occasionally calls
the White House to order
pizza.
INFO TIDBIT: Once faked a seizure in line at
Disney World and the movie
“Jingle All the Way” was filmed in his yard.
MOST HEARD QUOTE: “I can handle it.”
LOOKS LIKE: We really aren’t sure, no one has
actually seen the lad!
Although various people have reported seeing
something in the vicinity of
the Himalayan Mountains that was tall and hairy.
