00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 4: I do not have because I can't. I have on

00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: automatically call for help.

38
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 4: It knows you for Okay, all right, that's better than

39
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 4: what I have. I could wear it in the shower.

40
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 4: You know what my son said to me when I

41
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 4: told Michael wearing in a shower. He said, he feels

42
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 4: so sorry for any fireman got to see me naked

43
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 4: in the shower.

44
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 1: I bet you a million firemen have seeing you naked

45
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: through the coming.

46
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 4: Who you're kidding now, you know, Mark, I'm in the shower.

47
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 4: I know I have to worry about falling. I have

48
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 4: to worry about being naked in the shower.

49
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 1: All right, you're making everybody sick. You got to stop.

50
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 1: Id kidding.

51
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 2: No.

52
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: You know the good thing about that Apple Watch if

53
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: you fall, take a real fall, it will automatically call

54
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: for help.

55
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 4: I know it's better than what I have because I

56
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 4: can knock myself unconscious and then I can't pressure.

57
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, well the Apple Watch would call. In fact, if

58
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: you take a big fall, it says it's going to call,

59
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: and unless you stop it, it makes the call. All right, Mara,

60
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 1: thanks for calling. Well, let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike,

61
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: how you doing.

62
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark, that's Mike. I forget the context. On

63
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 2: Monday you mentioned mrv Griffin and Mike Douglas and got

64
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: me thinking about those two great old shows. You know,

65
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: they were on the air between the two of them

66
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: like forty five years and I went to IMDb and

67
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 2: was looking up there guest list. It's unbelievable. I mean,

68
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 2: from Jackie Mason, that Jane Fond, Charles Nelson, Wiley, I mean,

69
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 2: Mike Douglass had John Lennon co host with him for

70
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 2: a week, which is you know, in today's day and age,

71
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 2: you couldn't have a more diametrically opposed at least looking

72
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 2: you know, characters, Mike Douglas and John Lennon and also

73
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 2: people forget that Dinah had a show back then.

74
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: Day was on. Yeah, you know, I was talking about

75
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 1: Di Cavot once about this because he was famous for

76
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: having the biggest names in the world, names nobody else

77
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: could get, like Katherine Hepburn and Marlon Brando and orson,

78
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: all these unbelievable and he said, this is a couple

79
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: of years ago. He said, he can't do it today

80
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: because who would those names be today. There's nobody today

81
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: that's a big star to everybody.

82
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: It's true.

83
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, like Bad Bunny, he's a big, big star.

84
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: He's the hottest selling recording yardist, but half the population

85
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: never heard him. And right, so the star that everybody

86
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: would know or want to hear right now, there isn't

87
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: There isn't.

88
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 2: As much social media. They don't really have to do

89
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 2: those things.

90
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: You know.

91
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 2: That's the other thing, you know. You know, back in

92
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: the day, even Jane Fine had to go on the

93
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 2: Mert Griffin Show to get you know, you know, a

94
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: movie talked about or whatever.

95
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: She was like, yeah, that's the other thing. You used

96
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: to go on those shows. You had to plug something.

97
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: But right, yeah, all right, Mike, thanks for calling. It's

98
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: a big problem today because they take right here at iHeart.

99
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: We have the five, six seven biggest radio stations in

100
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: the world right here on this floor now. Right over

101
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: there's Power one oh five Breakfast Club, and down there

102
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,679
Speaker 1: is Light FM, and over there is the Z one hundred,

103
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: and they each have the biggest names for their audience

104
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: coming up here every morning to do these shows. But

105
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: for these three stations don't know who the hell those

106
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: guests are down there because it's not their format. They

107
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: don't know those artists, and down there they don't know

108
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 1: who's on this station because it's all splintered. There's nobody again.

109
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: Bad Bunny is this big because you can get he's

110
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 1: the biggest music star in the world. But when he

111
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: suddenly shows up at the Super Bowl, you know, sixty

112
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: percent of America don't know who the guy is. It's

113
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: the same thing with well and everything. Even television. Nobody

114
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: watches the same show. Every time you talk to oh,

115
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: have you been watching Royal Palm? And I don't know

116
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: what it is. You're not watching it. Every time they

117
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: tell you about a TV show, you never heard of it.

118
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: You know, if this free years ago, everybody watched Seinfeld

119
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: talked about it. The next day, everybody watched Cheers. But

120
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: if you took the ten top biggest streaming shows today,

121
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: eighty percent of America's never seen them and they don't

122
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: even know what they are. It's and you can't just

123
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: watch them. You know, when they tell you got to

124
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: watch this series, I do. You've got to watch it. Okay,

125
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: how many it's twelve seasons, but you got to start

126
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: from the beginning. You must watch from the beginning. Who

127
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: has time to watch all this stuff? Hey, the president

128
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 1: of Netflix was under fire. Oh no, it's the president

129
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: of Instagram. Because they have this algorithm where they train

130
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: you to keep watching, like they just waste all your time,

131
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: keep watching and it's ruining kids. And he testified. He said,

132
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: it's the same as Netflix or any streaming service. It's

133
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: just binge watching. It's not our algorithm. People are in

134
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: the habit of just binge watching. They just can't stop anymore.

135
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: They're not disciplined, like the said, Well, it could be,

136
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: but hey, you know who will ask. We'll ask Ronda Sheer.

137
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: She'll be with us next, the great TV star, fashion star.

138
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: Nobody better on social media will get to Ronda Sheer

139
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 1: next on seven to ten wor
