First of all, I was, you know, 41 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: reading some stuff about your podcast, Smalltown Dicks, and when 42 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: I clicked it, I wanted to see what you look 43 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: like because I watched The Simpsons forever and you don't 44 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: normally know the faces of the voices. People do that 45 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: with me too on the radio show. Sometimes they're like, 46 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: I had no idea what you look like. However, I 47 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: used to watch Herman's Head like great, that was one 48 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: of my favorite shows, and I was like, holy crap, 49 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: I know her from Herman's Head. Yes, wow, look at that. 50 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: So anyway, I'm I guess I'm a bigger fan than 51 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: I even thought. So it's really nice to talk to you. 52 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: Thank you. I want to start with your podcast because 53 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: I've just now got into listening to the true crime stuff, 54 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: mostly because of my girlfriend. She's a big true crime podcaster. 55 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 1: And I was like, man, I don't know about this stuff, 56 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: but I find myself a little bit caring too much. Now. 57 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: Is listen to the one called like bear Brook or something? 58 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: And it didn't have an end? The podcast didn't have 59 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: an end. So your podcast, small Town Dicks, these are 60 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: true stories, right, that's right now? Who are the people 61 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 1: investigating each each episode? Each story um Well. I co 62 00:02:55,200 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 1: host the podcast with identical twin detectives Dannon Gave, And 63 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: all of the cases that we cover on the podcast 64 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: are told by the detective who investigated that case. And 65 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,279 Speaker 1: it came about because, um actually, so, I'm actually engaged 66 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: to Dan, detective Dan um And when I started dating him, 67 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: I never dated anybody in law enforcement. And he would 68 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: come home, you know, and actually we were a long 69 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: distance for about two and a half years, and so 70 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: when I would go see him, his day to day 71 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 1: was so jaw dropping. It was so like, I'm sorry, 72 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: what I mean. The mere notion that the minute you 73 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: leave your house somebody, first of all, you're going towards 74 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: all of the things that the rest of us run from, 75 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: and second of all, somebody might really willfully want to 76 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: harm you is just a completely foreign idea to me. Like, 77 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: when I leave the house, I go to do a 78 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: pretty fantastic special job, but nobody's trying to kill me, 79 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: you know. So. Um So, when the podcast came about, 80 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: it just seemed like a natural fit that all of 81 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: the cases should be told by the detectives who actually 82 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: investigated them, because in the podcast space, not so much 83 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: in the TV space, but you didn't have a lot 84 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: of firsthand accounts like that, and you had a lot 85 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: of If you do listen to true crime, there's a 86 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: lot of rehashing of very famous crimes, and so we 87 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 1: really wanted to illustrate the fact that big time crime 88 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 1: is happening in small towns everywhere, just with less frequency, 89 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: but the same level of reckless disregard for humanity and depravity. 90 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: And it's kind of shocking. And because I remember when 91 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: I would say to people, oh, I'm dating a detective 92 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: from a small town, like, oh, as you do like 93 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: riscue cuts and trees and stuff, You're like, no, actually, 94 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 1: there's murderer and there's you know, burglary and robbery and 95 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: horrible things happened. Um. So it just was an interesting, 96 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: a really interesting perspective I think on law enforcement. And 97 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: also one of the artifacts of small town police departments 98 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: is that they are expected to deliver the same high 99 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: level of work product as a big city agency, but 100 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 1: with many fewer resources. So you know, if you're on 101 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: the swat team, you're a detective probably too. Um. And 102 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 1: so in the back of your car, if your patrol car, 103 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: you have your you know, flak vest and your long 104 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: rifle and your helmet, like, oh, now it's a swat call. 105 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 1: It's just a very, very different animal than the fifty 106 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: swat guys sitting in Los Angeles where I live, waiting 107 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 1: for something huge to happen, you know, so um I 108 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,559 Speaker 1: and I find it endlessly fascinating. And on my side 109 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: of the table, because I'm the civilian, I also want 110 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: to know, if you are the person who's going to 111 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: see the worst of humanity every day, where do you 112 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: where does that reside inside of you in order for 113 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: you to also be able to be a father, husband, 114 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: a partner in some way, just some you know, other 115 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 1: human being on the planet. Where do you put it? Okay, 116 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: that leads me to a lot of questions. I'm gonna 117 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: go with this one first, where they're twins and they're 118 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 1: both on law enforcement and they hit the same agency 119 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: and they worked Dan is now retired, but they worked 120 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: literally across the bullpen from each other. But Bobby, when 121 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: I tell you, there were only nine detectives in the 122 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: whole agency for this small town, and and two of 123 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: them where your your fiance and his twin, not even 124 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: just his brother who like passed him on down to him, 125 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: his twin brother who made the conscious decision at the 126 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: same time they wanted to be out. That's crazy to me. 127 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: I know they're identical twins are actually what they call 128 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: mirror twins. So Dan is right handed and Dave is 129 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: left handed. Um, they both played baseball. Dan played My 130 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 1: League baseball for the Cubs. Um. Dave was a pitcher 131 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: and then he blew out his arm before he got 132 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: to professional ball. But it's really, it is fascinating dating 133 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: a twin. I don't know if you've ever dated twin, 134 00:06:55,320 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 1: but they're do have this shorthand they couldn't kind of 135 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: read each other's minds. It's it's it's kind of great. 136 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: I kind of and I love Dave. I loved I 137 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: love me some some Detective Dave so much on this 138 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: podcast because you've now completed the sixth season and this 139 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: is a very successful podcast. And I'm only coming to 140 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: because I just now got into true crime like this. 141 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: This world has been open to me recently. So at 142 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: the end of each episode, are you is the crime 143 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: being solved? Some of them not all of them? How 144 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: does how did these things end? Or is that something 145 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: you talk about? Yes, we do. We actually only cover 146 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: adjudicated cases because a lot of our detectives who come 147 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: on the show are still working, and we never want 148 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: them to, for instance, be testifying in a trial and 149 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: have the defense attorney to say, oh, so you're part 150 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: of that podcast, so you're here to sensationalized crime. Um. 151 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: And nor do we want them to compromise the investigation 152 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: in any way. So all of the cases, I don't 153 00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: think we've we've never actually covered a case that was unsolved. UM. 154 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: I like that honestly, because again, I listen to one. 155 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: I tell you, I listen only five episodes this day thing, 156 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: and at the end of it, they were like, and 157 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: we still don't know, and why did that just been 158 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: five and a half hours. There's no conclusion. It's so frustrating. 159 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: You know. It's funny that you say that I started 160 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: to watch this show. Um, I think it's on a 161 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: travel channel. It's one of those It's like a true 162 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: crime show, but they have a medium and then they 163 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: have a detective, and the medium doesn't talk to the 164 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: detective until they've both done their investigations of usually some 165 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: haunted house, right the people who live there are so 166 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: freaked out and they don't know how to there's like 167 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: an evil spirit and so the so they usually like, yes, yes, 168 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: the medium who's quite good, it seems um and really 169 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: does nail a lot of stuff. And then they go 170 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: to the homeowners and they do their findings and they go, yeah, 171 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: so you probably should get somebody in here to exercise, 172 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: and then you know, exercise the dwelling or whatever. And 173 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: then you see a chiron that says they're still looking 174 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: for a priest to come and exercise. The dwelling activity 175 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: is still happy. I'm like, how could you do that? 176 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: How could you not help these people? It's like, get 177 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: rid of this massive thing that's terrifying them. I just 178 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: feel I really feel cheated. It's just so wrong. Do 179 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: you know what that show is called? To watch? Oh? 180 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: It is, I do, I'll I'll look it up. Take 181 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: a second. Yeah, yeah, it's quite good. You know what's 182 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: interesting that you say your girlfriend um and I was 183 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: what I was creeping on you on Instagram? I follow 184 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: you and if great pictures you guys are and you're 185 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: a gorgeous couple. It's mostly her. I'm just the funny guy. Yeah, 186 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: we all need funny Bobby um and and so most 187 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 1: of our or a large portion of our audience over 188 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: is women. And that's true for most of true crime. 189 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: Why is it that balanced? Pretty healthy? Um, she's emotionally stable, 190 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: except she wants to hear a podcast where people have 191 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 1: been cut up and stuffed into a barrel. And I'm like, what, 192 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: Like everything about you was like right on except two 193 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: kids we couldn't find their heads. Only three toes remained. 194 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: Who could it be? And then here I am two 195 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: days later, go all right, we're gonna find the end 196 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: of this episode. We still don't know. All right, goodbye everybody. 197 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: What I think part of it is that most of 198 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: the crimes happened to women, and that there's a kind 199 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: of um cautionary voyeuristic there. But for the grace of God, 200 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: go I And if what if I was in a situation? 201 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: What would I do? And can I learn from the 202 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: mistakes and the successes of the people to whom these 203 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: things have happened. Well, she's now starting to learn a 204 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: bit of self defense. I don't think she wants to 205 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: fight people, but I think if someone like she's learning 206 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 1: how if some one is coming in the house, what 207 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: to do with the door? Like it has also scared 208 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: her into learning how to protect herself. So I guess 209 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: in the end of full circle is a benefit that 210 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: she listens to these because she's so freaked out that 211 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: now she's learning. Were with your fiance fiance, right, that's 212 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: what you said earlier, with your fiance being a law 213 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: enforcement does he teach you some of these little things 214 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 1: to like, hey, if someone grabs you, or is he 215 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: just like I'm gonna be there, don't worry about it? 216 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 1: Both both. But for instance, he's off coaching first base 217 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: for an independent minor league baseball team this summer, which 218 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: he's done for a couple of summers now because he 219 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: still loves baseball and he's super good at it. So 220 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,559 Speaker 1: when he's not here, he's like, Okay, here's the here's 221 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: the drill, and so I have you know, I want 222 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: you to lock yourself in this room if something should happen, 223 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: of course, at the alarm at night. Um, if somebody 224 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: did attack you, go for the eyes, um kick them 225 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: to kick screen, fight, fight like your life depends on it, 226 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: because might uh he you know, scream he's uh. And 227 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,199 Speaker 1: and then all kinds of things like I learned never 228 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 1: to leave anything in my car and I kind of. 229 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: I kind of didn't really leave anything in my car ever, 230 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: he said, not even a charger. Or they don't let 231 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: them even see the wire of your phone charger because 232 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 1: they will break into your car on the possibility that 233 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: maybe there's a device somewhere, maybe in the center console, 234 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 1: maybe something. And so I never leave anything in my car. Um, 235 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: it's been quiet and and I think, having done this 236 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: true crime podcast, now I see things through a more 237 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: suspicious lens. I'm certainly a little more aware of my surroundings. 238 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: But Dan, when we go to a restaurant, if the 239 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: restaurants super busy, or we're out somewhere, his head is 240 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: on a swivel. And very early on I was like, 241 00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,040 Speaker 1: what is your deal, dude? What about like hello? I 242 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: like a little attention. He's like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, 243 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,839 Speaker 1: it's just now it's my default. He's got eyes everywhere, 244 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:11,559 Speaker 1: always looking for the potential threat. It's quite fascinating. Do 245 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: you have nightmares after this point? Because I, like I 246 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: tried to I get nightmares. I can't want scary movies. 247 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: I tried to read Twilight and at nightmares. So, but 248 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 1: if you're covering these crimes, are you ever asleep thinking 249 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: about this crap, and you're waking up with your hearts 250 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: beating like this. Um, I I was sort of. I'm 251 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: anxious anyway, So yes, I'm always afraid somebody. I My 252 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 1: fear is somebody's going to break into the house, and 253 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 1: I'll I'll realize it too late, you know, like they'll 254 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 1: be standing over my bed by the time I figure 255 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: out that somebody is in the house. Um. But it's 256 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 1: interesting when you because I also edit. We have two 257 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: actual editors. You put the podcast into pro tools, but 258 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: I edit on paper and give notes and um. You 259 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: then sort of switch it to literally the other side 260 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,680 Speaker 1: of your brain, the more analytical, less emotional side of 261 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 1: your brain, in order to make sure that everything is 262 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: lining up. Sometimes, because we're not dealing with professional storytellers, 263 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 1: sometimes they'll tell you the end in the first five 264 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: minutes and you're like, great, that's okay, We're just gonna 265 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: move that back alone like two minutes seventeen, create a 266 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: little suspense here, um, but never change the story. But again, 267 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: sometimes just rearranged the puzzle pieces. And so my job 268 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: as the editors to make sure because you have to 269 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: remember always that pretty much of your audience is doing 270 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: something else while they listen to your podcast. So they're 271 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: gardening there, walking the dog, they're going on their daily walk, 272 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: they're driving, they're cooking, and so my job is to 273 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: make sure that you can still follow the story even 274 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: if I don't have all of your attention, and if 275 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: you miss something, you're still interested enough to go back 276 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: fifteen seconds to go, oh, I want what I want? Oh, 277 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: hang on, and then you go back and pick up 278 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: where you left off. So it's really um. So that 279 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: helps kind of it's a terrible thing to say, but 280 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: dis associate from the horror of it, because it really 281 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: you just go People are horrible to each other, people 282 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 1: are I agree. I was watching I watched the first 283 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: episode of the Jeffrey Epstein thing last night on Netflix, 284 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: and I and I watched, and I was like, I 285 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: don't know if I can do anymore. I couldn't do it. 286 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: I couldn't do it, Bobby, I'm so with you. It 287 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: was just and I've watched, you know, some of that 288 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 1: Serial Killer stuff and I and I was intrigued enough 289 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: to finish the whole thing, but the Jeffrey Epstein stuff, 290 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: for some reason, I felt so like deeply sad in 291 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 1: my that I thought, why would I keep watching this 292 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 1: and continue to feel this way? And what I felt 293 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: there's nothing compared to what they felt. It was just 294 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: it was the only time I had listened to something 295 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: like that or watch something like that and felt that way. 296 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: Because when I watched the Ted bun the thing, I 297 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: was like, give me another episode, can't And I don't 298 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: know why I am so intrigued by that part of it, 299 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: Like that would be like a your podcast type thing, 300 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 1: but not like the Jeffrey Epstein thing. Yeah, I think 301 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: you know, I completely agree with you, and I feel 302 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: like the thing about people like Ted Bundy is he 303 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: seemed to work so hard to create a persona that 304 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: was the complete opposite of who he really was, and 305 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein did nothing to try to conceal that. Um, 306 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: did you finish it or did you watch? No? I didn't. Yeah. 307 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: My girlfriend too, was like, I can't do any more 308 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: of this, So anyway, I don't want to.

There was about the 321 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: Michael Jackson episode where he came in read his lines, 322 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 1: but then he brought in like an authorized impersonator to 323 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: do like the actual song in the in the episode. 324 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: Do you imagine being so he was this lovely young um, 325 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: little white guy, and Michael Jackson had hand picked him 326 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,440 Speaker 1: to seeing like Michael Jackson in front of Michael Jackson. 327 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: Can you imagine doing an impersonation of the artists themselves 328 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: right in front of you have somebody like that, like 329 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,199 Speaker 1: a designated impersonator if you ever get sick to do 330 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: Lisa Simpson, No, actually, but we do have a guy. 331 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 1: His name is Chris Edgerley, and he does all kinds 332 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: of voices for video games for the most part, but 333 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: he he'll fill in for whoever is sick that day, 334 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: mostly the guys because the guy's just you know, multiple voices, 335 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: but he'll also fill in for me. And how would 336 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: I love to be a fly on the wall pretend 337 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 1: like I'm not sick, just came to see Chris. What 338 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 1: I love about Lisa's like I kind of identified her, 339 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,479 Speaker 1: identified with her a lot of growing adress because she was, 340 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,400 Speaker 1: you know, smart, didn't have a whole lot of friends, 341 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: but she also had like these lines that almost didn't 342 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 1: fit her personality. Yeah, was there ever like a like 343 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 1: a fight you had of like, Okay, I don't think 344 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:30,120 Speaker 1: Lisa Simpson would actually say this, Yes, Um, There's only 345 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 1: there's one incident that I remember very early on where 346 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 1: they had I think it might have been there's an 347 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,120 Speaker 1: episode called Lisa's Pony, which was in the first ten years. 348 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: Is a wonderful episode where Homer ends up working three 349 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: jobs in order for Lisa to be able to have 350 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: a pony. And in the original draft she got she 351 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: kind of had a crush on the stable boy, and 352 00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: I just felt like it was much too mature, much 353 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: too sexual. This is kind of her in satuation with 354 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: this kid. And I'm like, this isn't right like this, 355 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 1: I don't, I don't, I'm not cool with this. I 356 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,880 Speaker 1: don't feel comfortable with this. And so they changed it 357 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: and it just became much more sort of goofy and 358 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: sweet and um, as I think it should be. For 359 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 1: God's sake, she's eight, right, um. But I will say 360 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: again rare occasions, because they really get it right at 361 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: a time. But two things I object to. One, people 362 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,199 Speaker 1: being really really mean to Lisa Simpson and her having 363 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 1: no recourse. There was a whole um. We had a 364 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 1: couple of showrunners who, when Homer got really really goofy 365 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 1: and really stupid for a few years, he would also 366 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: often be quite mean to Lisa, and I'm like, that's 367 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: not right. I don't. I'm not okay with that, Like 368 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 1: I need to stand up for my girl. And really, 369 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: the point was, even if I didn't win the battle, 370 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: it was important that I fight the fight, and and 371 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: they would usually for the most part, we would be 372 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: able to reach a compromise on things like that. But 373 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: my premises that mean humor is lazy humor. And it's 374 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 1: much harder to write something that's really witty and incisive 375 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:28,120 Speaker 1: and memorable um as opposed to just hurling insults at somebody. 376 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: I feel like we can do better than that. One 377 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: last question. I'm sure people ask you to, you know, 378 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 1: do the voice all the time. But Lisa Something never 379 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: had a catchphrase. If there was like one line that 380 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 1: you remember from the show to pick as a catchphrase, 381 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,640 Speaker 1: what would have been, Well, probably, I mean it's probably 382 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 1: I am the Lizard Queen. It is so sad that 383 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: Lisa Same Thing doesn't have a catchphrase. I mean it's 384 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: kind of heartbreaking. Bart has like fifteen of them. You 385 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: can't get one to my girl. The other one that 386 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 1: people cited, I'll be in my room okay um really 387 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,719 Speaker 1: was a very funny, dry delivery. When I think she 388 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: she just was like you, I am not I am 389 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,360 Speaker 1: not one of you family. Somehow I think landed here. 390 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 1: I think my favorite was always just that'll that'll learn 391 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: him to bust my tomato. That was always my favorite line. 392 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,160 Speaker 1: I don't know, I just always gravitated towards that line. 393 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 1: I would imagine yardly, it's Boby again. I would have 394 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,159 Speaker 1: because and I have a very because you know, I 395 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 1: do this radio show and I do things. But a 396 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,679 Speaker 1: couple of years ago, I did um Dancing with the Stars, 397 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: and I want but I would be in the airport 398 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: and you sure asked me. I would be in the 399 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: airport and people would come up to me and they 400 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: would go hey, and they would have known me from 401 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 1: the radio show or from the books or anything. They'd 402 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,439 Speaker 1: be like, hey, you're the guy that one dance with 403 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: the stars, right, And I'll be like, yeah, would you 404 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: do a dance for me? And they would they I 405 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 1: would be in the airport, or I would be at 406 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:53,439 Speaker 1: a Chick fil A and they would want me to 407 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 1: bust out a jive. Now I can imagine if you're 408 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 1: somewhere where there are folks, they're coming up to you 409 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: going hi, um, you are the voice of one of 410 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: those symptoms. Will you do the voice thing for me? 411 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,400 Speaker 1: Does that happen to you everywhere all the time, all 412 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: the time? And usually I I decline. You know, if 413 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,679 Speaker 1: they asked me for a picture, I'm I'm really at 414 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,239 Speaker 1: the time, say absolutely, let's have a picture. But I 415 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: feel like, you know, it's not a party trick, it 416 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,879 Speaker 1: sort of is. It's my job and it's hopefully you know, 417 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 1: something that I've honed as a skill that is has 418 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 1: some value to it. And it's also kind of weird 419 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: just to sort of being a supermarket and go, I 420 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: am Lisa Ming. I mean, nothing attracts more attention than 421 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 1: breaking into your cartoon character voice in public. Have you 422 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 1: had to learn say, oh, could you do my outgoing 423 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: voice mail? I'm like, no, yeah, I get yeah. And 424 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 1: sometimes people just randomly come up with their phone and 425 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: they're already talking to someone and they haven't said hello, 426 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 1: and they're like, hey, my cousin Jim's on the phone. 427 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 1: We talked to him for a minute. And I'm just like, man, 428 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 1: there's a whole process before the phone hand off, there's 429 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: a hello and ask yeah. So you also, I guess, 430 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 1: but people come up to you. Have you had to 431 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 1: learn how to draw Lisa a little bit? No, that's 432 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:21,120 Speaker 1: such a funny question. Um. So I do these videos 433 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: on my Instagram and Twitter called Simpson Sunday and they're 434 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: really short, like two minutes three minute videos, and a 435 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: couple of them I've said, okay, here's a picture of 436 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: Lisa Simpson. I'm going to try to draw Lisa Simpson 437 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:41,679 Speaker 1: freehand and it's horrible and it's hilarious and there's commentary 438 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: that goes along with it. And then the first time 439 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 1: I did it, the fans were like, oh my god, 440 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 1: it's so great, it's so bad. Can we have that? 441 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 1: So it's like, okay, so I forget. I held it 442 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: like a little contest and the winner got my really 443 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:02,640 Speaker 1: terrible picture of Lisa Simpson. Um, it's really it's it's 444 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: I know I'm terrible at it. They're The short answer 445 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,199 Speaker 1: is I can't do it. Well, I have just one 446 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: question about the Sibsons. The episode of twenty two minutes long, 447 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 1: and I guess when you hop into a to the 448 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 1: booth or I don't know if you're going into a 449 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 1: boot steal or technology allows you to do it from 450 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 1: home a bit like we can now too. How long 451 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: does that usually take to knockout an episode? Well, we 452 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:25,399 Speaker 1: used to before the pandemic. We would record altogether like 453 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: a radio play, which is actually really unusual for cartoons. 454 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 1: When we did several years ago, we did that crossover 455 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:36,880 Speaker 1: with Family Guy and I because it was on their 456 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: time slot, we recorded in their facility, their studio, and 457 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: excuse me, I went in and did it on my own, 458 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,120 Speaker 1: did my lines, you know, just wild one after the other. 459 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 1: I had. All my scenes were with Mila Kunis, but 460 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 1: I didn't even meet her because she wasn't there that day. 461 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:57,120 Speaker 1: But for us, our executive producer James L. Brooks, who 462 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 1: comes from sitcom and films, you know, Mary Tyler Moore 463 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,919 Speaker 1: and Taxi and all these incredible iconics, it comes was like, 464 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,400 Speaker 1: I don't know why you would treat this any differently. 465 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: It's still a conversation. And I'm a big fan because 466 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: even though at this point after thirty two seasons were 467 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 1: an incredibly well oiled machine. And when I go in 468 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,479 Speaker 1: to do a d R, which is for your listeners 469 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,199 Speaker 1: who don't know when you replace dialogue that they've rewritten 470 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,239 Speaker 1: after the original recording session, I go in and do 471 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: it myself. But in the original recording, which takes about 472 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: four hours, we go through the scene four times and 473 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,120 Speaker 1: then if they still don't have it they want, then 474 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 1: we'll just do individual lines as pickups. But the way, 475 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,159 Speaker 1: for instance, I stand between Dan who goes Homer and 476 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:49,199 Speaker 1: Nancy who does Bart. The way Dan or Nancy or 477 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 1: Hank or um you know Julie who does Marge says, 478 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: the line is going to inform the way I respond, 479 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:01,360 Speaker 1: and so that's my preference. But and the coronavirus hit, 480 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: we all started to record from home. So because I 481 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 1: do the podcast, already had really good equipment and that 482 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,439 Speaker 1: seemed like a pretty good setup. But I really hope 483 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: that at some point we get back into the studio altogether. 484 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: I just think it gives it a a texture that 485 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 1: you can't manufacture on your own, just because you know, 486 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: if I was next to you, Bobby, and I said, well, 487 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,640 Speaker 1: then you would have a reaction to that, versus if 488 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: I was next to you and I said, hey, how 489 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: are you right? Yeah, we we dealt the same in 490 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: our studio. We were all working from homes for a while, 491 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 1: and there's definitely a vibe difference in just the production 492 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 1: of what we were doing. Well, I didn't know what 493 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: a d R meant, so thank you. And I also, 494 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: if I'm admitting to myself, I had to google what 495 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,680 Speaker 1: adjudicated meant when you were talking about that earlier. I'm 496 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: being completely completely transparent here. Listen, Yarley, it's been so 497 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 1: nice talking with you.

Was 512 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,680 Speaker 1: it great? Was it fun? Was it everything? Well? Do 513 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: you have any dancing I had no dance experience at 514 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: all like you have a little. I took tango for 515 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,159 Speaker 1: several years. I think you'd like it because you're training. 516 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: If you're like me, I I valued the time to 517 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 1: be able to work with one of the best in 518 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 1: the world. I mean I never would have been able 519 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,120 Speaker 1: to do that in my lifetime, to go and train 520 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 1: with a dancer every day. Um, I was still doing 521 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,120 Speaker 1: my radio show and I was touring a little bit, 522 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,239 Speaker 1: but um, it was for me twelve hours a day 523 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 1: because I had no experience. I didn't know what the 524 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: what the words meant. It was like when you said 525 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: adjudicated when they were like okay, I had to google 526 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 1: all the words to know. Like a sage, I don't 527 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,679 Speaker 1: know what the stuff meant. So for me it was 528 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,120 Speaker 1: great and that it was a really positive experience where 529 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 1: I got to train with the best and learn. I 530 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 1: never got great, I got to be okay. I ended 531 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 1: up winning because I won because the people right. Because 532 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,919 Speaker 1: I also realized, just like in life, you can't just 533 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: be the best at something, You've also got to be 534 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 1: the person that people want to work with or want 535 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 1: to root for. So that was kind of my goal. 536 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 1: But I would if this weren't uber rating, I'd give 537 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,639 Speaker 1: it four and three quarter stars. Like I loved my 538 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 1: experience on that show. Yeah, I'd love hearing that. I 539 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 1: would say if I wasn't an actress, I would be 540 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: a professional ballroom dancer. And not because I'm so great 541 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: at it, but I would That just sounds like happened 542 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: to me. I had no idea that it was as 543 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: tough as it was until I watched it with my 544 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: own eyes, and it is extremely I would love for 545 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 1: you to do it, do you know. I mean, I 546 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 1: can put a text into a couple of producers, Arlie, 547 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: just say the word do it. Do it. And when 548 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 1: we're back from non Corona and listen.

I 550 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: think right now they're they're flirting with the bubble idea 551 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 1: where they're gonna put all the dancers in, which was 552 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 1: what we basically lived in any way. But that's what 553 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do. I'm going to text the producer today 554 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 1: and say, next season, don't sleep on Yardly. She's a 555 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: professional dancer. She just hasn't been exposed to enough professionals yet.

Well, thank you Bobby for saying. That's 606 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 1: one thing I'm proud of is in the almost ninety 607 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 1: five year history of WSM, there's never been a longer 608 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 1: tenured host in the evening shift, and in the history 609 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 1: of Nashville radio overall, there was only one other personality, 610 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 1: man named John rich Board, who played rhythmon blues music 611 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 1: on w l a C late at night in the evenings. 612 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: He was on, I believe for twenty seven years before 613 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: he retired back in nineteen seventy two. So I'll play 614 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: second fiddle to John Orenge. He was great what he 615 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 1: did for what I gathered. You know, back to first 616 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 1: radio job three, you made twenty bucks per show. Now, 617 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 1: when you first started, wasn't on karts or records. How 618 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 1: were you guys doing the music? Then we played music 619 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 1: exclusively from records. My first radio jobs a w Y 620 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 1: I I and william Sport in Maryland, fifty five miles 621 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 1: from where I lived, and it was near Tagersound, but 622 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 1: I lived in Gayporsburg, Maryland was my hometown. But we 623 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:48,240 Speaker 1: played on records and that was it. That was it. Yeah, 624 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,479 Speaker 1: Elbow one of those things and then you're like, oh 625 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:52,959 Speaker 1: my goodness, and you gotta run back to it. Did 626 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 1: that ever happened? Uh No, I never got called with 627 00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 1: my records down uh there, but did at other places. 628 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: That just that seems scary because you you nudge one 629 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 1: of those things, the whole radio station goes crumbling down. Yeah, 630 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: they're they're very delicate, that's for sure. You played fiddle 631 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 1: back in the day with the Johnson Mountain Boys. Now 632 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 1: did you ever step into the circling before at the opera? 633 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 1: You mean, oh, yeah, I was. We were blessed a 634 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 1: guest on the opery several times, and that was a 635 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 1: great thrill. That was a dream that we had that, 636 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 1: you know, the one that we might become members of 637 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 1: the opera. And I had a dream as a kid 638 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: the first time I came there on a summer vacation 639 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: after between eleven and twelfth grade, I said, one day 640 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 1: I'm going to be on that stage. And I was 641 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 1: years later in the eighties as as a fiddle player, 642 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 1: but I never dreamed that, you know, seventeen years later 643 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 1: almost I think it was seventeen years to the weekend, 644 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 1: I was becoming an opera announcer. So that was it 645 00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 1: was a dream come true to get to be able 646 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 1: to do all that. And he when did this voice happened? 647 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 1: Because I hear you talking, I thought, Man, if I 648 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 1: could have had this voice, I wouldn't have had to 649 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,960 Speaker 1: be as as dippy as I am. If I had 650 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,719 Speaker 1: just had the perfect voice, like Eddie here, where were you? 651 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 1: Eleven twelve? When did this thing finally set into where 652 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 1: you're like, I can do this now? Well? I always 653 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 1: had a deeper voice, And uh, it wasn't something that 654 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:24,920 Speaker 1: I nurtured or went to broadcasting school to to to 655 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 1: try to work on to make it better. If I had, 656 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: it probably would have been a lot better. But I 657 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: give all the credit to God. I mean, he gave 658 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 1: me the talents that I have, Bobby. And as to 659 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,719 Speaker 1: when it came in, you know, I don't know. I 660 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:43,239 Speaker 1: guess like most you know, adolescents, your voice changes when 661 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,800 Speaker 1: you're twelve years old, twelve, thirteen years old, fourteen, maybe. 662 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 1: But I always had a deep voice, BacT, you know, 663 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 1: as far as I could remember. I don't have anything 664 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:53,840 Speaker 1: with me as a kid, you know, talking on it. 665 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 1: But it's just it's just what God wanted me to have, Man, 666 00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:58,920 Speaker 1: I want you wanted me to have that kind of 667 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 1: voice and set us dound like this. This sound like 668 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 1: the Peter Brady episode when he goes to puberty on 669 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 1: the Brady Bunch. That's my whole life right there. I 670 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,000 Speaker 1: saw it. But you got you got the listeners, and 671 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 1: you got the fans, and you're you're the most powerful 672 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 1: broadcaster and country music. So it's a it's a thrilled 673 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 1: to be able to chat with you. There's room for 674 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 1: all of this, Bobby, and what we do? You know, Well, 675 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 1: I saw Dirk's write something really not. Dirk's a good 676 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 1: friend of mine and Dark's loves you. Did you get 677 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:25,800 Speaker 1: a chance to see what Dirk's had written about you 678 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,480 Speaker 1: on Instagram and and Twitter and all that? No forgetting 679 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm a seventy eight RPM kind of guy 680 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 1: in an iPod world, so I don't be all that fake. 681 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,560 Speaker 1: We're making those in fifty seven by the way, seventy gates. 682 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:44,439 Speaker 1: So but I I haven't seen it, but I would 683 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 1: like to. Dirks has been very kind to me. Yeah, 684 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: I mean he wrote a whole lot and he said, 685 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:51,879 Speaker 1: you know, I'll just read you a piece piece of it. Here. 686 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 1: He said, when I was hanging out at Station in 687 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:55,920 Speaker 1: and really starting to dig deeper into the music. Two 688 00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 1: of my biggest teachers were George Jones and Eddie Stubbs. 689 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 1: Who else goes back? I can replace just the steel 690 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,200 Speaker 1: guitar solo of the song that he spun on vinyl 691 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,360 Speaker 1: to explain to the listener the importance of that musician's 692 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,439 Speaker 1: contribution to the success and greatness of the song No One. 693 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:11,879 Speaker 1: So he wrote a lot more too. But I thought, 694 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,400 Speaker 1: you know, a guy like Derek's who was just an 695 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,800 Speaker 1: eight plus guy aside from being a great artist, his 696 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:17,759 Speaker 1: words we were pretty touching. And I know you and 697 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,319 Speaker 1: Dre Derek's have been pretty close over the years. Well 698 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,279 Speaker 1: that's really flattering, and we have. He started listening to 699 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,319 Speaker 1: me when he came to Snashville from Outain, Arizona. He 700 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 1: was a college student at Vanderbilt University, and you know, 701 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,640 Speaker 1: it was always neat to have him around. You know, 702 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 1: he was just one of these guys. It was just 703 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,880 Speaker 1: a sponge and just wanted to soak up everything he 704 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 1: possibly could. Who was it, Eddie that you would get 705 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:42,759 Speaker 1: nervous to talk to, because you know, here we are 706 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 1: two thousand twenty and we we hear about all the 707 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:47,560 Speaker 1: legends now, but who wasn't When they walked in the room, 708 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,640 Speaker 1: you'd be like, oh boy, here we go. This is 709 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,160 Speaker 1: about to be something. I got that way a little 710 00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,960 Speaker 1: bit with Earl Scrugs early on because he was such 711 00:36:55,280 --> 00:37:00,960 Speaker 1: a childhood hero of mine. And I wait, act, you know, 712 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:05,239 Speaker 1: I was nervous being around Rape Price. That was before 713 00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,200 Speaker 1: I ever came to Nashville. I was back in the 714 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 1: early nineties when I was working in radio in Washington 715 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:14,279 Speaker 1: A W A m U and getting to be in 716 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,720 Speaker 1: the presence of these people, you know, for the first 717 00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,759 Speaker 1: time and meet them. Uh, you know I would, I 718 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:23,680 Speaker 1: would definitely. I was definitely nervous. I guess anybody would be, 719 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:27,000 Speaker 1: you know, at that at that point in tom with 720 00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 1: you being able to bring on so many people on 721 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,400 Speaker 1: that opery stage, especially for like the first time they 722 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 1: get to play the opera stage. When you look back, 723 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 1: who was it that maybe you had seen or or 724 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,600 Speaker 1: part of their performance, but the crowd just absolutely went 725 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,920 Speaker 1: bonkers for way early in their career, and you were 726 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,840 Speaker 1: able to go, man, this is about to be something. 727 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,600 Speaker 1: Josh Turner stands out very strong in my mind. Um, 728 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:52,840 Speaker 1: I was there the night that he made his debut 729 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,400 Speaker 1: at the at the Rhyme and Auditorium. He was a 730 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 1: brand new artist, didn't have a record out or anything 731 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,600 Speaker 1: at that point, and pet Fisher of the manager of 732 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:02,560 Speaker 1: the operate at that time, put him on the show. 733 00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,360 Speaker 1: And he came out and sang long Black Train, and 734 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 1: that voice was so unique and so special, and you know, 735 00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:13,359 Speaker 1: he just had a very uh what's the word I'm 736 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,960 Speaker 1: looking for. He just had a presence about him that 737 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 1: with confidence he was who he was. And you could 738 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:22,840 Speaker 1: tell that this guy wasn't just a great singer with 739 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:26,239 Speaker 1: a deep boys and a great song, but you could 740 00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:30,440 Speaker 1: tell this guy was an artist. And there's a big 741 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:34,000 Speaker 1: difference between a singer and an artist. Not every performer 742 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:38,000 Speaker 1: as an artist, but I could sense that and he 743 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,799 Speaker 1: you know, he got a standing ovation that night. He 744 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,680 Speaker 1: was halfway up the stairs to his dressing room and 745 00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:45,759 Speaker 1: they had to go get him after after he'd done 746 00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,080 Speaker 1: his song. He didn't realize that he was being called back. 747 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,399 Speaker 1: That's awesome. I have two more questions for you, because 748 00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 1: I mean I could spent three hours here. I feel 749 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 1: like we should do a whole kinburn series on you, Eddie. 750 00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:57,719 Speaker 1: To be honest with you. But I got two more 751 00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:01,640 Speaker 1: questions for you. Number one is over the years, any 752 00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,760 Speaker 1: cool memorabilia from the opery that someone maybe had given 753 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:06,879 Speaker 1: you or an artist would leave behind, or you keeping 754 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,520 Speaker 1: anything as a memento from the opery. I'll tell you, Bobby, 755 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,840 Speaker 1: that's that would be a hard question to answer because 756 00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 1: I've always been a student of the music and a 757 00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,680 Speaker 1: collector and a fan, and I've got a lot of 758 00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,400 Speaker 1: memorability that I've bought, and I've gotten things that people 759 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:25,240 Speaker 1: have given me over the years, lots of special things 760 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:29,120 Speaker 1: that you know, pictures, song books, things like that. So 761 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,040 Speaker 1: it would be hard to at PenPoint to say what 762 00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:36,759 Speaker 1: is my most treasured artifactive opering memorabil you. I do 763 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,960 Speaker 1: have one item it's tied to the opery, so to seak, 764 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 1: and that's a seventy eight record on Columbia Bio Uncle 765 00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,399 Speaker 1: Jimmy Thompson, who was the man who was the first 766 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,879 Speaker 1: person to play on WSM the field an hour's worth 767 00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:53,440 Speaker 1: of air time playing old time titled music because somebody 768 00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,680 Speaker 1: didn't show up, and that's what led to the birth 769 00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,520 Speaker 1: of the Grand Old Oprey. So having one of Uncle 770 00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:02,520 Speaker 1: Jimmy Thompson's seventy eight. You know it wasn't his personal copy, 771 00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,160 Speaker 1: but those records are very scarce. I have one of those. 772 00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,719 Speaker 1: Is A is something that's very meaningful.
