00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,240

Speaker 1: I always say. Yeah, I got people at my house

Speaker 1: and check in. Say hello, if you missed the show today.

16
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 1: I thought it was really good. You know, our boss

17
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: has been listening to our show a lot lately. I

18
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: don't know why. I don't mind it, but he's been

19
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: listening and giving feedback and he's been very happy with it,

20
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: which is great. So you want good feedback from the boss,

21
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,639
Speaker 1: not bad, because if it's bad, then they call meetings.

22
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: They bring people in you know, from national to kind

23
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 1: of meet with us and go over things we're doing

24
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: right and things we're doing wrong. But he's been very,

25
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: very complimentary of our show. You know, he texted today

26
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: and said, another very funny show. You guys are really

27
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: on a roll. So you know, doing a morning show

28
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: is not easy, per se. And one thing I have

29
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: learned is that someone like a Maddie Matt Siegel, who

30
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: was an absolute legend, made it look so easy. He

31
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: was so good at it, and you know, he had

32
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: the natural comedic ability where he didn't need to do

33
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 1: any show prep. He didn't even need to talk about

34
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 1: what he was going to say on the air before

35
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: the segment aired. He didn't do anything. We used to

36
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: write up a trending sheets for him and he would

37
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: not read them. Sometimes he would skim through them, but

38
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: he most of the time would not read them and

39
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: he would just turn on the mic and he would

40
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: be able to carry a four hour show. And I

41
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: gotta be honest, man, Like I would see him do

42
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: it at first, and they'd be like, many could I

43
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: do that? You know, not that I wanted to, but

44
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: you start to think like, this dude does no prep.

45
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: This dude does no planning for anything and does a

46
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: hilarious show. And then when he retired and we got

47
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: the show, you learn this shit is not easy to entertain,

48
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: to engage, to be funny, to be serious when you

49
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: need to. There's a lot of things that go into

50
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: doing a live morning show. And you know, I think

51
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: we've found our way. You know, We've had some bumps,

52
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: we have up and downs, we had you know, some changes,

53
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: but I think we've we've found our way and found

54
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: our groove. You know. You know, it really just is

55
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: about planning right, gelling together, delivering the content, and just

56
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: being ourselves and being authentic, but also including the audience.

57
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,839
Speaker 1: You know, I think that's one thing that kind of

58
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: because you'll never be able to match a show like

59
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: Maddie in the Morning. I mean just iconic. Like I

60
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: think back to my days on that show with Matt,

61
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: and he had a big part in who I am,

62
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: you know, and what I do. You know, this this

63
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 1: ability to include sound and to pull sound, which I'm

64
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: so proud of. We talked about that in the show today.

65
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: You know that was because I'm Matt. That was from

66
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: him wanting sound and having to be quick and him

67
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: not really understanding that things take time to get and

68
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: to put into the system, so you were forced. I

69
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: was forced to be fast, to learn to be fast,

70
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: to be able to pull stuff for him. So I

71
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: credit him a lot in that. But one thing that

72
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: he did not really do was include listeners only on

73
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: Right Now, which was fun. It worked. He didn't need

74
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: to you know what I mean, because he was a comedian.

75
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: So essentially he would do his show and tell jokes

76
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: and be funny and cover topical stories right and then

77
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: he had a call in segment every day called right

78
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: Now at seven forty or seven thirty five. That was

79
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: the listener's time to join in on the show. He

80
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: did not typically take call outside of that. He didn't

81
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: like the talkbacks. They were not for him. I think

82
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: towards the very end before he retired is when they

83
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: rolled them out and they came to me because they

84
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: kind of knew based on what I did, that I

85
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: would like them and that I could use them, and

86
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: so I pitched it to Matt and you should have

87
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: saw a look on his face. He was like, I

88
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: am not using those. But once you retired, we kind

89
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: of had the ability to do that, and I think

90
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: that's one important thing that we do is we include

91
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: our listeners. So this special with Bruno Mars is really

92
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: is a big deal because Bruno chose iHeart to partner with,

93
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: and he's not just going to go on at nine

94
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: o'clock on Kiss Went Away and play new songs. He's

95
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: also going to take talkback submissions and respond to some

96
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: of them. I mean, I'm sure there's gonna be a

97
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: ton of chances of him to choosing your talkback, probably slim,

98
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's an hour special and

99
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 1: he's got to play the new songs as well, so

100
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: doesn't hurt to send it in. So, you know, we

101
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: talked about on the show today that our boss had

102
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: told us that they they took what I do what

103
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: we do on the show with the talkbacks, and they

104
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: kind of presented that to Bruno Mars as an idea

105
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: of an part of the album rollout, which is really

106
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: really a cool thing. So I'm proud of that. I'm

107
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: proud of the way that I can use the talkbacks

108
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: and put them into the show, and I think that's

109
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: a big part of it. You know, that's essentially what

110
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: separates live radio, terrestrial radio from things like podcasts. You know,

111
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: podcasts are pre taped. They're fantastic. I listen to podcasts

112
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: a lot of them. I have my regulars that I

113
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 1: listen to every single week. A lot of them are

114
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: fitness related. But live radio is something you can turn on.

115
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: It's in the moment, right It's things like traffic and

116
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: weather and breaking stories, trending stories, and you're getting in,

117
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: you know, in real time reaction to things that's a

118
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 1: podcast don't have. So both serve their purpose. But it's

119
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: really cool to be in radio, you know, something that

120
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: still does it, a medium that still does that. If

121
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: we're live on the air and a story breaks, we

122
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: can talk about it. You know, happens all the time.

123
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: You know, Bill does a news report that he can

124
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: he can jump in there and report on the breaking story.

125
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 1: So I don't know, just some thoughts on this Thursday.

126
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: Don't forget the Bruno Mars. Tonight at nine o'clock tomorrow,

127
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: we will premiere a bunch of songs from the album,

128
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,799
Speaker 1: and uh yeah, it's gonna be so crazy. Weeks started

129
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: with the blizzard and you know, Lisa's in Florida, so

130
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: there's a lot going on. But you know, what. We're

131
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: guaranteed to be here Monday through Friday. Step more on

132
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: vacation which is coming up in a couple weeks six am.

133
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: If you don't catch us live, you can catch us

134
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: on the podcast as well. So that's it for the

135
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: after show. Today, happen to get a great day. Peace,
