Speaker 1: I Kiss FM. It's LAS number one at music station.

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: Good morning, Ryan Seacrest with you, thanks for having us on.

Speaker 1: Got a lot going on after seven o'clock. We have

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: trending report. Also, we got more tickets to go see

5
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: Angel City FC and we played with Chat GPT GDP, GPT, GPT,

6
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: GPT and we have a reading of us through the

00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 1: eyes of chat Jeep.

8
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 2: I was just highlighting my lines script. It's a long script,

9
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 2: by the way, I like it all right.

10
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: Do you read everyone else's lines too, because when I

11
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: get a script like that, I just read mine.

12
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 2: I just read mind too.

13
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 3: Then how do you know what the story is?

14
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 2: Wing it?

15
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this whole job is about winging it,

16
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: isn't it? Like one of you, Although you do have

17

Speaker 1: a script. Interestingly, Sisney, she has those trending report scripts,

18
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: so she's familiar.

19
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: She's good working with the script. You know. Yeah, I'm

20
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: basically like an actor, not a script.

00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,440

00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:13,919

Speaker 2: See, he creates moments.

52
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, but Ryan, Ryan, really you could tell that the

53
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 3: pro that Ryan is because he turns me he said,

54
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 3: is he really watching because I'm going to say I'm

55
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 3: going to stay on television that he's wants to go. No,

56
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 3: he's watching it. I just talked to me. Was watching it.

57
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 3: He's good. I got it and he took it from there.

58
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 3: It was unbelievable. And when Ryan said that, the girl

59
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 3: started crying and the father put his face in his

60
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,839
Speaker 3: hands like that. But that's what Ryan was so quick

61
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 3: on his feed to do that, and that's why you're

62
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 3: the guy man. And he did it, and it was

63
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 3: he saw that he saw. But I didn't mean to.

64
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 3: I just thought, look, i'll hang out with Ryan. He

65
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 3: won't mind. And meanwhile he's like going, hey, you're kind

66
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 3: of in my space.

67
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 2: I'm working, all right, let's get to this important space now.

68
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 2: He is.

69
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: This is a really big deal to be the check

70
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: over the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And you

71
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: know each year they have inductees. Lionel Ritchie from Idle

72
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: just got into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

73
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 2: It's a.

74
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: I mean when you look at the accomplishments, John, just

75
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: to frame this up for a second, the accomplishments of

76
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: artists Grammys are big. I mean, everything's big. Where does

77
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: this rank for them?

78
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 3: This is for artists music's highest honor. They've worked their

79
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 3: whole career to get in the Hall of Fame. There

80
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 3: are many awards that have been given out over the years.

81
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 3: They're only three hundred and seventy five people in the

82
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 3: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame over the past thirty

83
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 3: eight years. It's very hard to get into. Only seven

84
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 3: performers get in the year Ryan, and then of course

85
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,839
Speaker 3: we have some special categories that go along. But it's

86
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 3: the top of them of the mountains for them to

87
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 3: be inducted. And believe me, when they get nominated, you

88
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 3: feel how excited they are. And then they have to

89
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 3: wait and go through the pain of the voting. It's

90
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 3: kind of like the Baseball Hall of Fame. They kind

91
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 3: of wait and wait the whole career to get in.

92
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 3: But for us, it really is we honor the sound

93
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 3: of young America. These artists all sound they don't look alike.

94
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 3: This is not some elite category rock and rolls an Amalcolm.

95
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 3: Sometimes you think rock and roll is rock, that'sinitely one

96
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 3: part of it. It's an amalgam of rhythm, blues, country, gospel.

97
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 3: So when you see the lineup of this year of inductees,

98
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 3: Willie Nelson, Kate Bush, Missy Elliott, George Michael, Rage, Against

99
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 3: the Machine, Sheryl Crow, the Spinners, those are probably five

100
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 3: different musical genres, but they have one thing in common.

101
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 3: All these artists created the sound of Young America. They

102
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 3: have an attitude in the spirit that really stands above all.

103
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: So I'm just looking at I mean, Kate Bush, we

104
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: played that, and I look at these artists that we've

105
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: met over the years, Missy Elliott, right, But I'm also

106
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: looking at our playlist, So I'm looking at Taylor and

107
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: Bruno in the Weekend in one Direction, Ed Sheer and

108
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: Harry Styles, Post Malone, just to name a few.

109
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 2: Billie Eilish. I mean, these are artists that when would

110
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 2: they be eligible? Right?

111
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: Let's take Taylor for example. There's no way she doesn't

112
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: make it in, right, So when is she eligible?

113
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 3: The only rule we have in the Hall of Fame

114
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 3: is that your first record has had to come out

115
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 3: twenty five years ago.

116
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 2: God, and that one.

117
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 3: She'll be you and I will be working in a

118
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 3: nursing home. She will get it.

119
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 2: Well, thanks for the bright outlook.

120
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 3: No, I take that back, Ryan, I'll be in a

121
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 3: nursing home. But you know what's interesting about the induction

122
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 3: ceremonies that we have every year. These are the knights

123
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 3: where the collaborations happened that you hear about forever when

124
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 3: Prince got up and played while my guitar gently reached

125
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 3: with Tom Petty or Mick Jagger and Bruce Springsteen saying

126
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 3: I saw her standing there when the Rolling Stones were inducted.

127
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 3: So it's not only the artists have worked for at

128
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 3: least twenty five years to get inducted, but we bring

129
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 3: in younger artists to pay tribute to them. For example,

130
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 3: last year, Olivia Arrigo saying you're saving by Carly Simon

131
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 3: ed Shearon got up with Eminem and did a song,

132
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 3: and you had Cheryl Crow get up and play with

133
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 3: Pat Benattar. So even though it's a celebration of artists

134
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 3: who've been around for at least twenty five years or more,

135
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 3: the younger artists love to be there because they were

136
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:00,040
Speaker 3: influenced by.

137
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. I mean you you hear that

138
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: in the music that we play here. All right, so

139
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: you can visit rock is it rockhall dot com?

140
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:08,520

Speaker 3: That's the site, but it is the Rock and Roll

142
