00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 3: All right?

10
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: Mark?

00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 3: And good morning to you. Thank you for taking my call. Mark.

12
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 3: I don't know if you saw the news yesterday about

13
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 3: the second biological lab that they found right out of

14
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 3: Las Vegas, Nevada. And then another Chinese national that was

15
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 3: driving a Femi he was too impatient to wait on

16
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 3: the side of the road where he was. He went

17
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 3: over to the other lane, the oncoming traffic and slammed

18
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 3: into a van and killed four people. Those people in

19
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 3: our country that continuously vote Democratic or promote to vote Democratic,

20
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 3: have they all forgotten what we went through and now

21
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 3: what's occurring in our nation that's putting everyone's life in jeopardy.

22
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,559
Speaker 3: And on a good note that I just want to say,

23
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 3: I totally agree with you. I am going to so

24
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 3: miss Cardinal Dolan. God bless that man.

25
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, we love Cardinal Dolan today's final day, but again

26
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: he's going to remain in New York. Who is before

27
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: Cardinal Dolan, Cardinal Egan, It wasn't crazy about him either,

28
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: and then before that Cardinal O'Connor, who was another incredible cardinal, beloved, great,

29
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: great Cardinal. Let's go to John Gosh in New York.

30
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 3: John, how you doing, Hey, Mark, good morning, great big fan.

31
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: Thanks.

32
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 4: I just want to ask you a question you were

33
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 4: talking about recently, how things can change the format and

34
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 4: the customers aren't happy.

35
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

36
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 3: I always wanted to ask you.

37
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 4: Why did CBSF FM in two thousand and five go

38
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 4: to that Jack FM? It was to me it was

39
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 4: the biggest fail. They lost all their iconic DJs. Do

40
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 4: you know the backstory on that?

41
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, you get these sometimes these programming guys who they

42
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: looking like Atlanta and Jack FM is doing great in Atlanta,

43
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: and they think it'll work here, and it happens all

44
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: the time with Cracker Barrel or wherever. It's just wrong.

45
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: And if you'll recall, everybody stopped listening to CBSFM, they

46
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: stopped playing oldies and then I started the Saturday night

47
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: oldies show, remember on the other station, for a few years. Now.

48
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: The problem is CBSFM a few years later caved in.

49
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: They went back to playing oldies, only it wasn't oldies.

50
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,399
Speaker 1: It was like eighties and nineties. But if you think

51
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: about it, when you were first listening to these oldies,

52
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: it was from twenty years ago, twenty five years ago,

53
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: and if you went back twenty five years now, that's

54
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: two thousand and one. Eighties and nineties or oldies, but

55
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: it was something about the sixties, fifties, sixties seventies. It

56
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: was a different kind of music. It was more melodic.

57
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: Once the eighties came along, it was a whole different

58
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: type of music. It doesn't it's not the same as oldiest.

59
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: Let's go to Mike and Florida. Mike, how you doing,

60
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: Good morning Mark.

61
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 4: Yes, Mike, Let's ask you a very similar question.

62
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 3: So you were mentioning that you had booked at p

63
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 3: I HFM back in the day and now.

64
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 4: It's w U s AN.

65
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 3: So when these stations change format, is there a protocol

66
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 3: for you guys?

67
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 4: You know, would you like to stay and do sports

68
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 4: or you're out on your rear end? And how does it?

69
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 2: How do you adjust and how do you you know.

70
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: Well, you're usually out on your rear end. Depends how

71
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: good you are behind the scenes politically maneuvering business. It's

72
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: like that in any company. You know, you go in

73
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: and talk to them. If you convince them that you

74
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: can do sports. And I got a big background sports.

75
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: I'm a huge sports they'll they'll, they'll stick with you.

76
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: It can happen, and uh, some sometimes people go and

77
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: sometimes people stay that. You know, there's stations have you

78
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, how many what?

79
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 4: And how many stations have you worked at over the

80
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 4: these years that have changed formats like that? It seems

81
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 4: like a fairly popular business decisions.

82
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: Actually w p I X FM, that was a pot

83
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: FM station we wanted, but we changed. We went through

84
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: several formats. I used to be there, Jim Kurr used

85
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: to be there.

86
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 4: Uh.

87
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: Then I w m C A No, that was the

88
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: big talk station at the time. Then I went to

89
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: w A b C No is it wn e w

90
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: w A b C. And then here that's not that

91
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,679
Speaker 1: many stations. Yeah, it's pretty good. All right, thanks for Colin.

Speaker 4: How are you? Thanks? Taking Let me ask you a question.

95
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 4: If we hate the fake news all the time, why

96
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 4: do they trump and the past? Second, great questions from

97
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 4: that nasty woman from CNN, why talking to her?

98
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: Well, ay, you have to take questions from all the network.

99
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: It's just it's just people in the Yeah, it's just protocol.

100
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: But also they kind of enjoy it. They love they

101
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: love picking on her. They love she's like a pinata.

102
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: They love smacking her around. It's fun.

103
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 4: They go on, go on Stephanopolois the show, and he's

104
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 4: the worst. I don't get it.

105
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just fun. They enjoy it, they get a

106
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: kick out of it. It's good practice. I don't know

107
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: why they called that George Stephanoppolos show. He's only on

108
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: like once every seven weeks. It's more what's his name?

109
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: Jonathan carl And who's that that old hag Martha Raddits.

110
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: They're on ninety two percent of the time. They should

111
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: be their show. Let's go to Jack in North Carolina. Jack,

112
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: how you doing, Hey.

113
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 5: Mark, good morning. I just wanted to make a comment.

114
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 5: Last year yesterday I was speaking or listening to you

115
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 5: about the economy, and I think one of the biggest

116
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 5: things that's still hurting America is the interest rates are

117
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 5: being so high. I'm a small business owner and I

118
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 5: work in the agro cultural industry, talk with farmers all

119
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 5: the time, and they're hurting. And everybody, I think right

120
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 5: now is still being crippled by the interest rates. And

121
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 5: so even though Trump has put in all kinds of

122
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 5: tax and semas and so forth that are going to

123
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 5: kick in this year, it still hasn't trickles.

124
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: That's a good point. But the interest rates are coming down.

125
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: They'll come down when you get your new FED chairman

126
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: should be in about three months, or get lower interest rates.

127
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 5: And well, we're hoping we can hang on that long.

128
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: You can hang on, You can do it. Thanks for calling. Hey.

129
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: You know, we have listeners all over the country who

130
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: get calls from all over the country. But even if

131
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: I don't say where they're from, you can always tell.

132
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: You can always tell when they're not from New York

133
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: because when they go, HI, how are you, they're happy?

134
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: Great to talk to you. You can always tell me
