Speaker 1: guys all right in studio now with Carla, Marie and Anthony.

91
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: Who were you guys were on in Seattle and for

92
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: four and a half years and now you're not. Yeah,

93
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 1: that's the story which is interesting to me. And I

94
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: don't know how much you guys are willing to talk

95
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: about that situation. Are you openly? You don't care? Um

96
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: that you guys have been so open on social media

97
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: about it. Where you guys got the acts and radio

98
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: in a city that you're not really from and now

99
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: it's like do you keep my do you keep living

100
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: in Seattle? Yeah? I think a lot of people have

101
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: asked that, and I think one of the things that

102
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: we made a point to do when we moved to

103
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: Seattle because we're both originally from New Jersey. Um, we

104
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: made it a point to make Seattle our home when

105
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: we got there. So it's kind of weird now because

106
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: I do love the city, but I also know that

107
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: my options probably don't live in Seattle anymore. So it's

108
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: like this weird breakup thing going on, like who keep

109
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: the kind of thing? You know? Where, Even though I

110
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: love being there, I know that the future probably is

111
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: never We're going to kind of stay there until we

112
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: figure out what the future does hold, So that's gonna

113
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: be home until there's a different home. Yeah, I mean,

114
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: I own my house there. I haven't even lived there

115
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: a whole year, so it doesn't make sense for me

116
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: to move and then have to move again because I

117
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 1: don't wuldn't even know where I had moved out other

118
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: than in with my parents. And it also, as much

119
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: as I love Seattle and I love my life there,

120
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense for me to live there when

121
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: my entire family is on the opposite side of the country,

122
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: like the literal, very single one of them. And like

123
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: Anthony said, opportunity wise, I don't know what would be

124
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: in Seattle, so right now, yes, it's home. Maybe that changes,

125
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: but to jump ship right away, to have to jump

126
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: ship again doesn't make sense. I hate moving. So let's

127
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: go back and talk about you guys. Is kind of

128
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: origin because you both intern for Elvis or inn it

129
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: was part time kind of you never you never interned.

130
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: I never interned. I started as a promotions assistant um

131
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: for the Street Team for one or three point five KT,

132
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: which was like kind of a dance station at the

133
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: time when I worked there. So I was the person

134
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: putting up tense doing all that stuff, and then I

135
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: transitioned to become Elvis's personal assistant. You were Elvis's assistant.

136
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: He was the first and worst first assistant and it

137
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: wasn't even an iHeart job at the time. It wasn't

138
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: even a real radio job. He made me out of

139
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: his pocket. Basically. That's why Anthony's worst Anthony, because he

140
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: was considered his name on the air was worst assistant

141
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: in the world. That's why it's worst Anthony. I know.

142
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: I so there was a there was a reservation that

143
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: was messed up, and I don't know, there was a

144
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: couple that this happened when it was. But our production guy, Ronnie,

145
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: as he found out the story made like on the fly,

146
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: made this piece of audio that was like worst assistant

147
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: in the world before I came into the studio, and

148
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: it just stuck. So as I was making Instagram and

149
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: Twitter handles, I was like, let's go with it. Was

150
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: originally worst Assistant, and then as I started doing other

151
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: radio stuff with other radio shows in New York, I said,

152
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep the worst part my actual name, so

153
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: worst Anthony. You know, it's funny. The assistant thing too,

154
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: is I've used that position as just a holder for

155
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: some folks because I wanted them to have a job

156
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: until I could get them a real job. Mike, were

157
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: you ever my sisterant Okay, so, and I think I

158
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: told Mike, You're not gonna do this very long. But

159
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: and it wasn't really a radio assistant, but it was

160
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: like a life assistant. And so Mike Morgan number one

161
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: was also my assistant for a while. I have a

162
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: great assistant now who has no interest in being in radio.

163
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: So it's fantastic. But you so you started his how

164
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: much and then not much? Not much? But you know what,

165
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: I will say this so I remember interviewing for the job.

166
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: I originally interviewed with, um, what's his position now, Chief

167
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,599
Speaker 1: programming Officer Tom Pullman. He needed an assistant at the

168
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: time interviewed with him, he already had someone else in mind,

169
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: so he suggested me to Elvis, and I still remember

170
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: after doing the interview and going into Elvis's office, he

171
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: offered me a number, and right away, because that was

172
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: part time at the time, so that number that he

173
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: offered me was like the biggest number I'd ever seen

174
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: in my life. Uh, not that much, but keep in

175
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: mind I was making seven dollars an hour as a

176
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: part timer, so he offered me a full time job,

177
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 1: and there were some zeros that I had never seen before.

178
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: So right away I was and I remember, looking back now,

179
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 1: he was like, are you sure that's all you want?

180
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: Because I think what he did was he had a number,

181
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: He had a number that was probably higher than he

182
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: was willing to go to. But I was so excited

183
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: for the job, I just said, yeah, absolutely, How are

184
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: you supposed to know when you're exactly when I was

185
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: offered my first morning show job, I was, you know,

186
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: I was doing nights in Austin I'd been offered to

187
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: go to Seattle at the time and do a night

188
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: show there. I was twenty two maybe, and I was like,

189
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: I went and told my boss. I wasn't even a

190
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: contract in Austin, and I was like, hey, you know,

191
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is working out for me. Here.

192
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: The station wasn't the toilet. We had a syndicated morning

193
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 1: show that wasn't what didn't have any traction, and so

194
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: they were thinking about flipping the station. I was like,

195
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: it's not working. I think I'm gonna go do nights

196
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: in Seattle, bigger market than Austin, and just give me.

197
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: And I felt good about this day. It was like

198
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: I think it was Kiss FM and Seattle at the time,

199
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: which it would have been Pop would have been to

200
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: for I wasn't top for you yet, yeah yeah. And

201
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: so he was like, okay, well, what else would you want?

202
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 1: And I said, just throwing it out there, I said, well,

203
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: lesson one day, I'm gonna do mornings. I'm gonna be

204
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: a massive morning shows And he was like, Okay, you're

205
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: a little too young for that now, and I was like,

206
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: I get it, but but I'm gonna do it one day.

207
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: So I was like, don't be the guy that did

208
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: never give me the shot that I'm gonna look back

209
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 1: on and be like, you never gave me, so just left.

210
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: He didn't offer me anything. I came in and they

211
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: offered me fifty hours and if I was making that

212
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: basically doing nights like like eight, doing nighttime radio, and

213
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: your offer, yeah, I'll take it, you know what. I

214
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, you know the same thing.

215
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 1: But I didn't have anybody that I must work with.

216
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: I knew no better. I think they were, and I

217
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: said I'll take it. They were like, well, like, I'll

218
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: sign the contract right now. I don't even And that's

219
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,839
Speaker 1: what I did. I think I actually ran at some point.

220
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: I remember cutting off that meeting because I was like away,

221
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: Like that's how nervous I was. Again, I did it,

222
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: just walked away. And because when you're broke and someone

223
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: throws you alive line, you grabbed that freaking thing. That's

224
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: what I did and hold on tight. But I learned

225
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: a lot from that. I'm glad the whole experience has

226
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: absolutely I learned so much from Elvis, and then I

227
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: became his video guy and kind of became kind of

228
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 1: this Jack of all trades, producer thing. Hey, every yell

229
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: at you a couple of times. Not not that that though,

230
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: considering how much I messed up in the beginning, he did.

231
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: He did very right by me. So would you go

232
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: to his place? Like you go to his house? What's

233
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: the parent He well, he'll he'll talk about this. He

234
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: had a couple of places, um, one that he has

235
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: since sold. But that thing was crazy. Damn. But I

236
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 1: don't think you ever lived in that house, which is insane,

237
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: but not like not like, Oh, I have so many houses,

238
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: I can't live in one. I think his life changed

239
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: a little bit after he bought the house, so he

240
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: decided not to move in. Damn, that's the goal, Yeah,

241
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: to have houses. You know what even go to? Did

242
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: you sign an India to work as almost his assistant?

243
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 1: I don't know if I signed anything. I started working.

244
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 1: I think I just started working for which was the

245
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: best thing that ever happened to me. So, but he

246
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: has a place in New Mexico, to you go there?

247
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: I haven't, although he has offered it. He said, Hey,

248
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 1: if you ever end up in New Mexico, you can

249
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: stay there. So you're you're with Elvis and you you're

250
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: now as the video guy. Did you have video skills

251
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: before then or did you just kind of started, hey, listen,

252
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: raise your hand and go, I'll do it and then

253
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: figure it out. I agree completely, So you're you're a

254
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: video guy. When do you two meet? When I got hired,

255
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: I would say it was so I had interned prior

256
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: at the station doing different things in New York. Yeah,

257
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: and then in the digital department when we didn't have

258
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: a digital department, like I was the intern doing all

259
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 1: the photos, like I took pictures of the jay Z interviews.

260
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: Didn't he something as an intern because we didn't have

261
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 1: what we have now. We don't have a hub. We

262
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: didn't have a hub like we do, which is crazy.

263
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: So that got me in the door because I was

264
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: the only person in the building with an SLR camera,

265
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: so I was around all the time. And then I

266
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: got hired to answer the phones for Elvis, and that's

267
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 1: when Anthony and I actually met. But yeah, same thing,

268
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: ten dollars an hour. I made sixteen grand my first

269
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: year in radio, and I lived with my parents to

270
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: be able to do all of it. But commuting into

271
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: New York City, I was spending like five a month

272
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: to get to work. How were you getting to work?

273
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: I would drive, but parking was like three sixty. Then

274
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: the easy past was like a hundred and seventy a month.

275
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 1: I couldn't like by the way, parking was three hundred

276
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: and sixty dollars, which is cheap people. This is what

277
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: people don't understand. How people now six hundred dollars in

278
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: that same for a spot. That's like what ten ft long?

279
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: Six hundred dollars a month in downtown Manhattan to park

280
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: your car unbelievable and student loans. So what are your

281
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: parents And I'll start with you, calumny, what do your

282
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 1: parents think about you deciding to get into a field

283
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: with no real future, no stability, no money, Like, what

284
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: in the world are they telling you? My dad told

285
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: me not to take the job, and my mom was like,

286
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: that's so cool, Like you've always wanted to do this

287
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: since you were a kid. Do it. But he was

288
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: like ten dollars an hour and just went through college

289
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: to do that. You were making that waitressing. He was like,

290
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: don't do it. And that sucked, you know, hearing that

291
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: from your dad, like, don't take this job. Opportunity that

292
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: I saw is like oh, once in a lifetime opportunity.

293
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: And I obviously didn't listen Anthony you. So my parents

294
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: were supportive, but my dad always would throw these little, uh,

295
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: these little comments like, hey, I've got a friend who

296
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: works in pharmaceutical sales. You can make more money doing

297
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: this or um. And I definitely thought about it at

298
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: one point. So he would always because he knew how

299
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: little I made, because when I was taking the train

300
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: from my parents house to go to downtown Manhattan, I

301
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: mean there were times where I couldn't even pay for

302
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: the train, so my dad would buy like that train

303
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: ticket that day. Um. I actually got arrested once because

304
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: I couldn't pay the train ticket and I got a

305
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: whole long story to jump and get on the train basically,

306
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: And later on I found out six years later, there

307
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: was a warrant out for my arrest for a ticket

308
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: that I didn't pay when I was supposed to pay

309
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: for the ticket. But told me, I bility the kid

310
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: in here. I'm a train thief, train robber. So they

311
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: were supportive. They definitely didn't get it at first, especially

312
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: my parents are both immigrants. They both I don't think

313
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: understood these stability or lack thereof um, but they were supportive,

314
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: so I can't say they never told me not to

315
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: do it. They probably wished I did something else, but

316
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: they never told me not to. My mom had no

317
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: interest in me doing radio, not that she knew any better,

318
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: but we were broke our whole life, and then she

319
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: was like, you're just gonna go be broke again. And

320
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: luckily I was a smart kid. And she was like,

321
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: why would you Why would you waste this? Why don't

322
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: you go be a doctor? What did you do? Is?

323
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: I wish he wanted to do anything that I could

324
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: use my god given ability to read, comprehend, and um

325
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: communicate about because I was good at that. I could

326
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: study and know and I nailed a c T. I

327
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: mean gave it to me. I could spend time with

328
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: it and get it and then regurgitated in a way

329
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: that made me feel and sound smart. And she was like,

330
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: why don't you do something with that? It's true, though,

331
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: and I absolutely and I now I could see if

332
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: I had a kid that was doing that, I would

333
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: be like, never, don't get anything creative. But once that

334
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: creative thing is in you, you have to somehow fill

335
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: that cup, at least for a while or you're always

336
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: gonna be left just craving that that that feeling of

337
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: of of using your mind to make something. Well, let

338
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: me ask you this, Bobby, when, because we've talked about

339
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: this in the podcast at Time's Carlin Marie and I.

340
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: When did the radio bug bite for you? When did

341
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: you realize this is exactly what I want to do?

342
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: And I don't know if I could do anything else. Well,

343
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: two parts. When I was five years old and I

344
00:16:58,240 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: was in kindergarten, they asked me what I wanted to

345
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: be and said, I want to be on the radio,

346
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: and I want to be a stand up comedian. That

347
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: was it. And I was like and so but and

348
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: I don't ever remember not knowing exactly what I wanted

349
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: to do. And when I was a girl is fifth grade,

350
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: ninth grade, and I was like, how do you idiots?

351
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: I know what you want to be when you go up.

352
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: I want to be on the freaking radio. And whenever

353
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: I was eleven, twelve, thirteen years old, I would call

354
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: the radio station every night and get on the air.

355
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: They put me on the air. I was Bobby the Barbarian.

356
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 1: I would introduce songs during the high five at nine

357
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: every night, every week night I was on. Who was

358
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: the DJ that was on the air, well a couple

359
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 1: of flying Brian was wanted them, um, and he was

360
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: the one mostly that would let me on. But when

361
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 1: I was twelve, they had a contest you could write

362
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: like an essay, and I won and I got to

363
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: go up in Christmas Eve. I was twelve and I

364
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: got to host the show with and I already knew.

365
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: But it was then that I was like, Okay, even

366
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: if I'm broke forever, and I was twelve, what do

367
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: you know about being I already knew I was broken.

368
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: I knew if even if I'm staying the same forever,

369
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: if I'm doing what I love to do. I went,

370
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: if I can buy groceries and pay for a mortgage,

371
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: even if it's not a big fancy one, I win

372
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,360
Speaker 1: because I'm doing what makes me happy. And in the end,

373
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: we only pursue general happiness. And I knew I was

374
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: gonna get it just by doing that. Now, there was

375
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff I didn't know. Again, that's twelve, right, um.

376
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 1: But then like I knew and I finished, you know,

377
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: I beg for a job at seventeen and was playing

378
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 1: right d c ds and all that. But um, yeah,

379
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: that that was when the bug got me. But again

380
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 1: not about me YouTube. We have best ability to YouTube.

381
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 1: Are both. Now you're an intern and you are what

382
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: when you meet I was when I met her. I

383
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: was still loved, was his assistant. I hadn't done video

384
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: stuff yet. Yeah, and Anthony had really long hair. I did, yeah,

385
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: down to my shoulders. Was scared. So Carla Murray had

386
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: no friends at the radio studio zero and I, because

387
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: I had my time at promotions, I had this group

388
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: of this network of friends, so we would go out

389
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: to lunch all the time. And I started inviting carl

390
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: thea Mura out to lunch with us because she would

391
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: just sit at her little owne oup desk by herself

392
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: after everyone left, because we were probably the people that

393
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: stayed the latest because of our response, and we were

394
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 1: on the same age so and everyone for the most

395
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: part was older. So Anthony and invite me places. But

396
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 1: I also couldn't afford to go out to lunch in

397
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: New York City, even if it was just the deli,

398
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: So sometimes I'd have to be like no, or I'll

399
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: just come and get a soda. And I would start

400
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: hanging out with Anthony and all of his friends at

401
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: the station. But other than that, I would sit there

402
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: by myself. So how in the world did you guys

403
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: decided to do something together professionally? It was on. It

404
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: was four years in it. It was four years into

405
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: knowing each other. So you were an intern for four years. No, no, no,

406
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: I had been working there at that time. When Anthony

407
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: was invited me to lunch, he wouldn't invite an intern

408
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: too lunch. I think I did never because one of

409
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 1: my friends had a crush on Carla Marine Well, I

410
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 1: would start inviting Carla Mariott to launch also to see

411
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: if this is news to me. So in fourteen, um,

412
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: we there were a bunch of people on the show.

413
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: Everyone had their own thing except really the two of us,

414
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: whether it was getting to do different appearances for the

415
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 1: station or not necessarily podcast No one really had podcasts

416
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: at the point, but everyone had a different role in

417
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: the show. And the two of us were like, man, like,

418
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: it's so hard to get on the air here because

419
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: there's sixteen people on this show. We're never gonna grow

420
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 1: if we can't do this. So Anthony was like, why

421
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 1: don't we do a podcast. We were we were traveling

422
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: to an event that we both had to go film

423
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: att Um was it, Windermere was the mountain? Windom Windore

424
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: is the real the real state come Window Mountain. And

425
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: on the way back we were listening to other podcasts,

426
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 1: we said, why don't we do this? And we sat

427
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: down at a full meeting, like we had a meeting

428
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: essentially to each other, and said, all right, this is

429
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 1: what our kind of schedule is gonna look like. We'll

430
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: do it on Fridays. We'll call it my Day Friday.

431
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: We're not going to curse on the podcast because we

432
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 1: want to pretend this is real radio. And we'll have

433
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,199
Speaker 1: topics and we'll email each other. And we did this

434
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: whole thing and launched it on April eleven, and they're just,

435
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 1: I mean, our hobbies at the time. We're going out, partying,

436
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: drinking with our friends, like that was what we did.

437
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: And now it's so funny, like when we still do

438
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: our podcast, we're like we used to talk about going

439
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,439
Speaker 1: out and partying and being hungover, and now it's like

440
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: it's still bizarre. So you guys are doing the podcast,

441
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: when does that turn into someone or you guys knocking

442
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: on the door and going hey, knuck aheads, let us

443
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 1: do this on the radio somewhere. You know. It actually

444
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: sooner than we thought in terms of theations that people

445
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 1: had where they say, hey, there's this city. Um, they

446
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: don't know what they're doing next for their morning show,

447
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: they might have an interest in you. And that happened

448
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: a couple of times, no real conversations, and then one day,

449
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: it was right around Christmas, in a year and a

450
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: half into doing a podcast, we didn't know what we

451
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: were doing, and obviously everyone had Elvis's blessing before they

452
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: would ever come to us, like they had to go

453
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: to Elvis first to make sure I'm going to reach

454
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: out to Carlo Marie Anthony for this opportunity. Was that okay?

455
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: But the first real opportunity was Seattle, and we had

456
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: a bunch of conversations, but I couldn't talk about it

457
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: because no one knew what was going on in Seattle.

458
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: No one knew that these two strangers were going to

459
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 1: fly out here and take over the station that didn't exist.

460
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: When we were having these conversations, and for the two

461
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: of us, it was like, why not take this opportunity

462
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 1: to actually do something, so your first ever freaking show

463
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 1: was in Seattle and a big old market. You didn't

464
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: cut your teeth and Paduca or me hunt Springs, Arkansas.

465
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: You went from a podcast to hosting Mornings in Seattle,

466
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: podcast in New York, no less, you know, a podcast anywhere, okay,

467
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 1: but we were like that. It was kind of hard

468
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: for us. Though it will sound like spoiled rats, but

469
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 1: for me to be like, I'm in market number one?

470
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 1: Why am I going to go to a different market?

471
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: Like that was in the Granted I was like number

472
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: twelve on the show, but I was like, I'm in

473
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 1: market number one? Why would I leave here? And I

474
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: had to I had to finally tell myself, You're never

475
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: going to grow out of this role if you don't,

476
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: if you don't try, it's all so. I mean with

477
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: with Elvis, and I would probably I would put you

478
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 1: in the same conversation. You guys, you've done so well

479
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 1: for so long that there is I don't know if

480
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: I call it the bubble, but there are things that

481
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: really successful shows get to do that to get to

482
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: the local level, and newer shows like carlon Mee that

483
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: we don't get some of the same support. And I

484
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 1: think that was the scariest thing for us was knowing

485
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: how much support Elvis got from the company and knowing

486
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: that it was going to be different in Seattle. But

487
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 1: it wasn't a national morning, so we didn't deserve that yet,

488
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: So which was my point, and not that you didn't

489
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: deserve it, but Elvis and I don't know a lot

490
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: of his early hit because he was on a hundred

491
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 1: when I was maybe ten, I'm not sure, so I

492
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: don't remember. But for me, there was a lot of

493
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: the small local thing when I got no support. Actually,

494
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: I'm glad that happened, because when I finally got the

495
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: support one, I was grateful and too I knew how

496
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: to use it. So you're going in but again Seattle,

497
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a good amount of support. Yeah, it's

498
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,199
Speaker 1: that's that's just nuts. But you're right, you're leaving a

499
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 1: station in New York going to work. But that's such

500
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: a big gig to what station. It was originally Cube

501
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: ninety three. They had flipped it the day we got there.

502
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 1: They flipped it to power, so it was going to

503
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: be this new top forty pop station. They pivoted a

504
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: couple other stations in Seattle, to maneuver everything, and we

505
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: were the first voices ever on that brand new station,

506
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 1: which that was one of the coolest things for us,

507
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,360
Speaker 1: regardless of anything else going on, moving from our friends

508
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: and family. Being able to launch a brand new station,

509
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 1: not just a brand new show, was so cool. And

510
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: that's an experience that like, we'll never get again, probably well, no,

511
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: hopefully not. Looking back, I often have it's a mix

512
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 1: of imposter syndrome but also a dose a reality of

513
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: I don't think we deserve to be there. I don't,

514
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: especially now more than ever, after everything we've been through

515
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: in the four and a half years, we had no

516
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: business hosting. I had no business get in my morning,

517
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: I just said the same thing to you guys, right

518
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 1: we all that feeling happens with almost everybody. Because I

519
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 1: just said this out loud. I didn't deserve that job,

520
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: just like you felt like you didn't deserve that job.

521
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: But again you said, you raise your hands, say yep,

522
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 1: I love it. You go take it. You guys crap

523
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: in your pants. First day, Oh my god, Oh yeah,

524
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 1: I like I remember laying on the floor after the

525
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 1: first show was over, just being physically exhausted because I

526
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: was so nervous, like the whole time. I've listened back

527
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: to the audio before. I don't know where it is now,

528
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: but I can hear that my throat is like close

529
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 1: because I was so nervous. He's telling one of those

530
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 1: throat singers on. So why I'm gonna go to the

531
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: bones of it? Although why Carla Marie and Anthony in

532
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: that order, because there had to be a conversation. It was.

533
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: It was, and actually I hated that, not because I

534
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 1: wanted my name first, Altho it would have been nice,

535
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: And I hated that it was Carla Marie and Anthony

536
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: and the A N A N sounds back to back.

537
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 1: I didn't like that. Um, but the podcast was My

538
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 1: Day Friday with Anthony and Carla Murray, the logo and everything,

539
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: because Anthony's friend made our logo, so his name was first.

540
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: But when we were having the conversations about our show, um,

541
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,640
Speaker 1: they brought it up to us and they were like, well,

542
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 1: we would just call it like that. We think we

543
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 1: want to call it the Carla Marine and Anthony Show.

544
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 1: Is that okay? I was like, yes, did you raise

545
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: your hand it on and go, hey, what about it?

546
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 1: I did a little bit and here's where I do.

547
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: And we give each other a lot of crap all

548
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: the time. Um, but I will say this, no one

549
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: would have looked at me in the light they did

550
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: had it not been for Carla Marie letting me kind

551
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: of ride her coattails for a little bit. Now we're

552
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: a great team together. That were very short coat short

553
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: coat tails were still a coattails nonetheless, And yes, we

554
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: worked together really well. We have kind of this divide

555
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: and conquer mentality that we do. She's good at certain things,

556
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: I'm good at certain things. But Carla Maurie was kind

557
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: of the star, the rising star of Elvis the Show

558
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: for a while, and I was the assistant slash video producer,

559
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,199
Speaker 1: and I got the attention that I got because we

560
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: teamed up. So I I never really had an actual

561
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 1: problem with putting her name first because I knew that

562
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: I only had that opportunity and people, I mean, the

563
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: only reason someone looked at my real or my tape,

564
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: if you will, is because they were looking at Carly

565
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: Marie's first, and they happen to see some stuff that

566
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: I did and said, hey, why don't you send me

567
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 1: a video too? So, I mean, we could give each

568
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: other a crap a lot. But at the end of

569
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: the day, I know that I owed a lot of

570
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: my opportunity to Carla Maurie. So it wasn't really a

571
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: big deal for me to say, you know what, put

572
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: your name first, you're the star of the show. Well,

573
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,360
Speaker 1: now Anthony said, whatever we do next? Well it also failed. Yeah,

574
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 1: the car one to one. Now now you gotta flip

575
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 1: a go. Well, the Carlin Marine Anthony show failed. Whatever,

576
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: So the next one with Carla Marie and friends. So

577
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: and before you got this job in Seattle, go back

578
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 1: one step. Were there jobs that you were up for

579
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 1: but didn't get Um? I know there was one job

580
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: in Philly for me that there were pretty serious got

581
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: it over you. Um they ended up not just they

582
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: just didn't do it. It was gonna be this new

583
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: role that they were going to build. Um, it was

584
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 1: going to be. Actually it kind of exists now with Steven. Yeah,

585
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 1: at Q one or two in Philly, it would be

586
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 1: the board op for Elvis's show, but you would also

587
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: pop in on the air occasionally. It would have been

588
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: if you're familiar with Elvis show, kind of what Froggy

589
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: does for South Florida. I would have been doing that

590
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 1: kind of for Philadelphia and that didn't work out. They

591
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: just didn't do it, thankfully. And was there anything that

592
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 1: you two together were up for when you said these

593
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: conversations were happening, No, I mean there afterwards we kind

594
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 1: of found out that there were conversations about us happening

595
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: that we weren't a part of. Always the case. Yeah,

596
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: there was a conversation for me in DC. I don't

597
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: know anything about it, Like well before the idea of

598
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 1: us hosting a show together in Seattle. Um, and then

599
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: I think there was a conversation about the two of

600
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,959
Speaker 1: us for Atlanta that was that was a serious conversation

601
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: they're having. I also forgot I almost moved to Denver.

602
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: I don't know how that's was lately skipped over. That

603
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: was three months of just me being like mental, just

604
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: they offer you something there they did. Um, it was

605
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: gonna be an executive producer role on the air as well,

606
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: but they were It would have been for party. J J.

607
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: J J was a local host on He's now in Atlanta,

608
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: but he was in Denver for a little bit and

609
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: I was gonna move with him. J J K and

610
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: Um I would have gone out with him, it would

611
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: have been another top forty pop radio show, and they

612
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: just there was like no money in it. I basically

613
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: would have been making the same or less, and I

614
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: still wasn't making a lot on Elvis's show. And that's

615
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: when things started picking up. There were some clients and

616
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: things that worked with Carla Marie and I. We were

617
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: giving more, be given more opportunities. So I said, you

618
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: know what, that's a full time role, and it's a

619
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: step in the right direction. But I'm gonna ride it

620
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: out and see where this thing with Elvis and and

621
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: Carla Marie goes. You get to Seattle, you're on Cube

622
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: Kub and it's going fine, But do you guys get pop?

623
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: They're right, Seattle was crazy. Yeah. So about two years

624
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: into us being on Power top forty station, they decided

625
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: to make all their changes in Seattle. Take the Kiss

626
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: station that you probably would have gotten to work for

627
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: and bring that back to top forty. So change Power,

628
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: take Kiss, make a top forty again, make Power Cube again.

629
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: So at that point they're like, all right, you guys,

630
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: you're young, you're great. You can host this morning show

631
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: for a hip hop station. I don't listen to hip

632
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: hop and I was like no, no, no no, no, no,

633
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: I can't do this. But they're like no, but like

634
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: this is your job. Now you have to do it.

635
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: And I was like why they gave us I think

636
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: a day and a half basically of warning. So I

637
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: was like, all right, and I like made a playlist

638
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: on the I Heart Radio app of like every song

639
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: that we were going to play, and I started listening

640
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: to and I was like, man, I really loved Tylor

641
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,479
Speaker 1: Swift and Ariana Grande, like this is not my jam,

642
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: and but we did it. But we did it for

643
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: three days. That's it. Yeah, and then it took us off.

644
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: Why what did they tell you it just didn't sound right? Well,

645
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: no crap, you told him you felt that, yeah, And

646
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: now afterwards they were like, yeah, you were right. Well

647
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: we actually told them yeah, going into it, we said,

648
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: we don't know if this is the right we try,

649
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna if you give us any job, we are

650
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: going to work our butts off and put every ounce

651
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: of energy into it. Um and they kind of calmed

652
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: us down. They played some imaging tonight, said all right,

653
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: let's do this thing, and they have three Three business

654
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: days later, we got called into a offsite lunch. I

655
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:17,959
Speaker 1: was like, I said, hey, why don't you meet us

656
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: at this restaurant. We got there and we're like, this

657
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: is not good. They fired you at a restaurant. So yeah,

658
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: this is where they didn't actually fire us. They said,

659
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: we're taking you off the air. We are not firing you.

660
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: We're just going to figure something out eventually. So you

661
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: continue to get paid. Yeah, and then within a week

662
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: they knew that. They put us on as a night

663
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: show on the Kiss station. You're a most job. Yeah, yeah,

664
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: well years and years. So you go into night a

665
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: Kiss and who was doing mornings? Bender and Molly Benders

666
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: seems to have been on forever, there for seventeen years.

667
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, it seems like he may have been

668
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: the show on whenever I was. He probably he probably was. Yeah,

669
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: so okay they're on. And then were they married? No,

670
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: so his previous co host it was Bender and Jackie

671
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: originally they were married, Okay, that's why I think that. Yeah,

672
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: they got divorced um and then Molly who was on

673
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: the Bachelor, Molly and Jason Mesnick. That's like the infamous

674
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: season where he picked someone else and then picked Molly,

675
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: Like that was the first time. That happened like eleven

676
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: or fourteen years ago at this point. But Molly during

677
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: The Bachelor got to be on that radio station because

678
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: Jason was from Seattle, and then years later became co

679
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: host there. She's a sweetheart. Did her and Bender get

680
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: married to Okay, Oh, they're still together, like one of

681
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: the success story of success stories. I just automatically assumed

682
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: they've been the Bachelor. Didn't work out? So Wow. By

683
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: the way, being married to your co host, that would

684
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: be tough. I think getting divorced from your co host, well,

685
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: I mean just staying married. I guess that's what I mean. Wow.

686
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: And did they stay on there after they're divorced? Do

687
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: you know for a little bit from what I know,

688
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: I don't know the full story. I know that. Do

689
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: you imagine that happened basically on the radio and that's

690
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: not private, that's public information. And on the radio? Did

691
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: they go their divorce happen on the radio, not like

692
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: serving divorce paper. They went through the process, they decided

693
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: on the air from a big personal announcement radio. I

694
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: would not um No, I think a lot of the

695
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: drama played out in there. So they're done. Did they

696
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: fire them that show or did they what's what's that?

697
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. They let Bender go and they moved

698
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: Molly to a different for us. Yeah yeah, yeah, um,

699
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: they let Bender go. He's back with the company somewhere else,

700
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: but they let him go and kept Molly, kept the

701
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: producer on that show and brought us in to do

702
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: the morning show and have this audition process that was

703
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: going to take place to find more people to join

704
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: our show. Where's Molly now? She actually got lego of

705
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: the same day we did. She was she was hosting,

706
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: but that's what happened. She went, They did her own,

707
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: like midday show. Okay, so now you're on you're looking

708
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: for co hosts and I think this is where uh

709
00:33:55,880 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 1: British Willie comes on? Yeah, English Evan and then Alabama

710
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: ends up coming on too. So it's you four. How

711
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: long were you four together as a unit? Fourteen months? Yeah, yeah,

712
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: fourteen months, So that's about it's just about enough time

713
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 1: to start to feel like, okay, we're starting to get

714
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: a little traction, especially now. Well it was it was

715
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 1: also kind of crazy because our our ride was not

716
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: smoothed by any means, and it wasn't anyone's fault, like

717
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 1: Alabama had a stroke three months after starting with us,

718
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: four months after. It was just insane. It was six

719
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: in the morning and she had a stroke coming up.

720
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: But now I look, there's like so much where we

721
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 1: can easily say, oh, that sucks that this happened. It

722
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: stuck that that happened, But there's so many things like

723
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 1: if our show never went through all the things that

724
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: it went through, and to the point where okay, and

725
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 1: then Alabama and Evan joined, who knows where in the

726
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: world she would have been when she had that stroke,

727
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: But because she was around people, she's alive, and so

728
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: many different things happened, you know, the Seattle and all

729
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,919
Speaker 1: the changes our paths cross, and it's like there's little

730
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: things like that that I hold onto were like, Okay,

731
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: we were supposed to be in her life for that moment,

732
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: because she could have been alone in a radio studio

733
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: and that could have happened. And it's little things like

734
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: that where I'm like, yeah, as much as life sucks

735
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: at the moment or as we're going through this, it's

736
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: like little things happened for a reason. And then we

737
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: did start, you know, hitting our stride, and things were

738
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: going well and then uh, the plug was pulled a

739
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 1: little bit before we get to the plug, how are

740
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: your parents still alive? Everybody's okay, good um, because the

741
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: worst is when you're like, hey, what's your dad and

742
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 1: he's like, my dad died in a fire three years ago,

743
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 1: and thankfully they're they're alive and well. And that happened

744
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: with Weird al way back in the day, had Weird

745
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 1: al On and I love them, and so I felt like,

746
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: I don't need to look anything up. I love Weird Alt.

747
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: Why would I look anything up? I knew everything by heart.

748
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 1: I know all the songs about her. I was a

749
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 1: kid I used and I was like, what did your

750
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 1: parents think about you decided anythings? Yeah? I think his

751
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 1: mom died in the fire or something. Oh yeah, that's

752
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 1: what really want on line where I felt, how do

753
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 1: you recover from that? You? Um, you don't really, but

754
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: you just keep going. You just hop back in, never

755
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: address it. Because I've been with artists who and they're like, hey,

756
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: so I know they have kids and like your kids

757
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 1: are like, I don't talk about my kids, and you

758
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: can go or you can go so this other yeah. Yeah,

759
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: so we went through that. It's awkward. Your parents are alive, Um,

760
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: what are they? What at this point? You're in Seattle,

761
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: You're on now in the mornings and kids are they

762
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 1: now like you guys did the right thing. Oh yeah, yes,

763
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: super proud. My mom was telling all of her friends

764
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: that I had my own radio station in Seattle. She

765
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: didn't like, she's like radio station, sound like, Mom, I

766
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 1: don't own a radio station in Seattle. But it was

767
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: just like this, the most bragging moments ever. I would

768
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 1: hear from them. I'd come home to New Jersey and

769
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:51,919
Speaker 1: I'd bump into their friends, like, oh, your father told

770
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: me this, this, this, and it's like you hear from

771
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 1: their friends about your own life, and it's at that

772
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 1: point they were like, yeah, you know, it's kind of

773
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 1: cool that you did that, you think for me. I

774
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: remember I've posted about this before. When we used to

775
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 1: drive to church in the morning. UM, American Top forty

776
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,240
Speaker 1: was on the radio and I was hosted by Casey Cayson,

777
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: who's also Lebanese and my dad's from Lebanon, immigrated here

778
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: during the Civil War, and I remember their Civil War

779
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: not hours six. He's really all And I remember it

780
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: was like clockwork every Sunday Casey Cason would come on

781
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:25,839
Speaker 1: as we're on our way to church, and my dad

782
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: would always point out, you know, this guy's Lebanese. You

783
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: could do anything if he can do it, why and

784
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: uh And I remember getting my job and he never

785
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 1: like made that connection once I got my job. But

786
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:43,240
Speaker 1: it was cool being a minority and knowing that someone

787
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 1: else will look up to you and do that. And

788
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 1: I think we've gotten messages like that. My kids love

789
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 1: listening to you because they've never heard another Lebanese person

790
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: on the radio or on TV. And uh, I know

791
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 1: my parents were proud of that too. So everything's rocking.

792
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: Did you start to feel like did you feel the

793
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:06,799
Speaker 1: Jaws music coming on? And I thought it would have

794
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 1: been COVID related. I kept telling my mom, Mom, we're

795
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: getting fired. I know, why did you think that? I

796
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 1: don't know. I had this feeling because I was watching

797
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 1: everyone around me lose their jobs. And I also started

798
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 1: thinking I could see us getting furloughed until people start

799
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: driving to work again. You know, we're not We're on

800
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,399
Speaker 1: and we're not syndicated where you know, every city has

801
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: their different rules right now, Seattle was shut down. It

802
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: was a ghost town for three months. Still is like

803
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: it's shut down. So I was like, it's gonna happen.

804
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: My Mom's like, stop putting it out there. I'm like, no,

805
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 1: I feel it. I just feel it. And we knew

806
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: there were changes happening at other radio stations that were

807
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 1: not our company, so we knew that there were people

808
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 1: who were also available. So talking about Jubil across the

809
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 1: street and what station was he on? No, he had

810
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 1: been fired. He had been fired. Okay, everything is so

811
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,240
Speaker 1: confusing right now. Okay, but he's off air, not anyway,

812
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: he's he got cut. Okay. So in you guys, you

813
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 1: feel like coming because, like you said, everything around. Hung

814
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: up something on my wall in my house and it

815
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: was the last thing I had to hang up finally

816
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 1: after decorating, and I said to Anthony, I said, I

817
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: just hung up the last thing on my wall. We're

818
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,399
Speaker 1: going to get fired. And seven days later we got

819
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,280
Speaker 1: let go. And how does that call happen? Or meeting?

820
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 1: Meeting told us to come back to the studio, same

821
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: restaurant we once. They told us to come into the building.

822
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 1: Although we had been coming in, no one else was

823
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: in the building because of the pandemic. So we're like, uh, well,

824
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 1: we took a duffel bag and boxes to the studio.

825
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: We know it. So how do they tell you? And

826
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: are you both in there at the same time the

827
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: same time and they just said, hey, we're making a change.

828
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 1: Who's the who? Who has to tell you? Two of

829
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: our managers, like to executive level people are SPP and

830
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: I know them? Who are they? Probably not? I don't

831
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: think you would know them personally. You're not saying their name.

832
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 1: Who are they? Rich Moore and Robert Dove don't know

833
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 1: all right? Which sucks, I will say, because they were

834
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: like ads to us. Yeah, I better suck for them

835
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: to have to do it, dream more more than it

836
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 1: to suck for us to hear it. I want to

837
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: say more, but I would say go ahead. But yeah,

838
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: I mean like Robert, I used to live in the

839
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 1: same apartment building as Anthony, but Robert also lived in

840
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 1: that apartment building, so like they lived down the hall

841
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 1: for me for like three years. So and it's great

842
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: when you have these relationships with your management. When that

843
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 1: moment comes, it's like you're almost like, how are you

844
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: telling me this? Why couldn't you tell someone else to

845
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 1: tell me? So they tell you walk out of the room.

846
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: What's the conversation you guys have as you're walking down

847
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: the hall. Well, we got to clean out our own office,

848
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:39,879
Speaker 1: so there was no one else to clean it, so

849
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 1: we were I was crying cleaning out the office. Anthony,

850
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,359
Speaker 1: you hadn't cried yet. I don't think so. I don't

851
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 1: when I get upset. I also oftentimes don't talk at all.

852
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 1: I'll just sit there. Like the whole meeting that they

853
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: were when they were telling us what was going on,

854
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: Carling had questions. I think I may have said twelve words.

855
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,479
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't even know what they were. Um, but yeah,

856
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 1: we clear out the office, get all the stuff down

857
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 1: to the car, and as we were doing, like the

858
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: final walk out of the elevator, I looked at Anthony

859
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 1: and I said we needed this, and he's like, I

860
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: think you're right. And it just felt like looking back, yeah, you,

861
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 1: like you said Bobby had, things were finally picking up.

862
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 1: But were they really numbers wise? Probably not. And I

863
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:21,800
Speaker 1: think that we had just been through so much in Seattle,

864
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: and we we were trying to make something work that

865
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: I don't think was going to work, and that's why

866
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 1: this happened. It's not because we did anything wrong. We

867
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: were told we didn't do anything wrong. We tried the hardest,

868
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,319
Speaker 1: but it just didn't work a few times. What would

869
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 1: you do? Let's just say, hypothetically, Gotham City called not

870
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 1: New York. I'm trying to think of a fictional city

871
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: because I don't know anywhere anywhere but Gotham City. Call

872
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: us yeah, and they go, hey, when want you guys

873
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 1: come to a show? What kind of show do you

874
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: guys want to do? It's a it's a pop station. Um, like,

875
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: what would you do? That's a bit different on this

876
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 1: show than the last show, because I think that will

877
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 1: be a question that you will get out. I do

878
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: think that right away we would need to have a

879
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 1: team in place, like none of this come along as

880
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 1: we auditioned several people, and you don't get to hear

881
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:10,760
Speaker 1: the people that you did fall in love with along

882
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 1: the way, like we Yeah, granted we loved our team

883
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 1: in the end, but there were other people who auditioned

884
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: for that job that listeners fell in love with who

885
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: didn't get the role. And then you're a listener and

886
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: you're like, but I wanted that person, they didn't pick them.

887
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 1: I think being introduced to a new city as a

888
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 1: full show is huge. And yeah, the two of us

889
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: were great together, but we do even better when we're

890
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:34,879
Speaker 1: surrounded by more people. And I know, Bobby, you could

891
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 1: probably say the same thing, like, yeah, you're great on

892
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: your own, but when you've got Amy and everyone else

893
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:40,839
Speaker 1: in the room, it's way more fun. And we both

894
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: know that about ourselves, like we have more fun when

895
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:47,720
Speaker 1: other people are around. And I think having a full

896
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 1: team that we both truly believe in with our managers maybe,

897
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 1: but starting from that day one, all of us everything

898
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: in place, instead of hey, move out to Seattle. Oh,

899
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 1: then do this, Oh then do this, then pick your produce,

900
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 1: sort of like we were just picking up pieces and

901
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 1: trying to do the job without everything in place, I

902
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,359
Speaker 1: would say, And it's kind of piggybacking off of that.

903
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: And this might be like for people who don't know

904
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 1: radio in the way that the hierarchy works. We had

905
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: so many managers in that four and a half years

906
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:18,240
Speaker 1: that we were there. We had so many different plans.

907
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 1: We had so many different things, and a lot of

908
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 1: those plans were good. But when you have twelve good plans,

909
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:28,839
Speaker 1: it makes zero good plans quarterback, having offensive coordinators coming

910
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: in every year like exactly a quarterback, but you can't

911
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: actually learn the full system unless you have time to

912
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 1: spend knowing their vision and how it intersects with your vision. Yeah,

913
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: I think just consistency is zillaly thing I would have

914
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 1: asked for, and it's hard to ask especially in our world. Um,

915
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 1: but that would have been the only thing that I

916
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: would have changed, just a little bit more consistency. Right now,

917
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 1: is anyone going, hey, we may have something for you

918
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 1: guys soon. Um. We had some people reach out just

919
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: to have kind of conversations. It's also because there's no

920
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: money being spent right So now I'm not even saying

921
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 1: that as a as about you guys, but I'm saying

922
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,280
Speaker 1: that about just you guys. Plus the dynamic of nobody's

923
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 1: spending any money anything. And we're also having conversations with

924
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: between the two of us, with some friends and saying,

925
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: do we what do we want to do before someone

926
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 1: offers us something? What do we want to do? Do

927
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 1: we want to grow something on our own? And we

928
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 1: started this Twitch channel which isn't huge yet, but it's

929
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. It's kind of like what we

930
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:26,840
Speaker 1: wanted to do on morning radio with a live audience

931
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: that can interact through a chat room. Um, so what

932
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 1: do we want to do moving forward? Do we want

933
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 1: to go the traditional mainstream radio model? Do we want

934
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:40,359
Speaker 1: to try something different? Carlmur your side Hustlers podcast? Even

935
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 1: though I mean that was an iHeart radio? Are you

936
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: still doing it at the moment? I am not because

937
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 1: they don't want you to. I'm not really sure, but

938
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 1: you they're not letting you really interesting, but you can

939
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,320
Speaker 1: if you end up getting back with the company sitting

940
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 1: there to be I just can't see a world and

941
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 1: I'm just speaking candidly. That's someone eventually once in a

942
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 1: few months doesn't go, hey you too, let's go. And

943
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,399
Speaker 1: I don't say that as I wouldn't flup your butts

944
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,359
Speaker 1: if I didn't think, I just wouldn't say it at all.

945
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 1: I would just be like, look at you guys, all right,

946
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 1: twelve past the hour. Here's something divorce stroke on the way.

947
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: We'll talk about it soon and it it um, it's

948
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 1: tough to sit and just wait, and I'm sorry to

949
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 1: cut you off. It's also I think a welcomed relief.

950
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 1: And I know because you're someone who works a lot, right.

951
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 1: Imagine if someone and you'd probably hated it first first,

952
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 1: but if someone said you have to sit still, Well,

953
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:49,439
Speaker 1: that's what the pandemic did to me for a month.

954
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,280
Speaker 1: But again I got to keep freaking. But yeah, but yeah, yeah,

955
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:53,879
Speaker 1: it shut me down from the road, shut me down

956
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 1: from lots of things. And I think there are times

957
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 1: where you don't taking care of yourself or the people

958
00:45:57,800 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: around you, or the things that you care about. And

959
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 1: I think we've been able to kind of back up

960
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 1: and say, you know what, let me actually get some sleep,

961
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:08,840
Speaker 1: maybe more than four hours a night. So there are benefits.

962
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 1: It sucks at first when you're just sitting, especially when

963
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 1: you're used to going at a hundred miles an hour,

964
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:18,240
Speaker 1: but I think it's also a welcomed um both mentally

965
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: and physically and emotionally. That's great. That's great to hear.

966
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: I just know how neurotic I am, and I would

967
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 1: be like, Okay, at six pm, nobody's called me. They

968
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 1: must hate me. I may probably never work in radio again. Okay,

969
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 1: it's seven like, but I I'm just saying as as

970
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 1: truly as I possibly can, I just can't see a

971
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: world where somebody doesn't come at you guys and go, hey, look,

972
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 1: you guys are proven. You're both wonderful personalities, hard workers.

973
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 1: Let's go. And sometimes it's hard to see the forest

974
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 1: from the trees when you're in the middle of the trees.

975
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 1: And right now, you guys are in the middle of

976
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,760
Speaker 1: that tree thing when you're really like, man, what's happening.

977
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 1: But I'm glad to hear that's your perspective right now

978
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 1: and now, so you're doing side hustles right now. Okay,

979
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 1: are you guys doing any podcast at all? So you

980
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 1: can catch our Twitch stream that's where we're doing, you know,

981
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:07,439
Speaker 1: my day Friday either. Wow. For right now, we're still

982
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 1: figuring everything out. I'll be so pissed, not thrilled, not thrilled. No,

983
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 1: it's you know what it's. It's also us figuring out

984
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 1: exactly what path we're going to take. So there's a

985
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 1: lot of things in motion at the moment. Listen, and

986
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 1: I think you guys are great. Um you're driving all around.

987
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:25,759
Speaker 1: People can watch your twit channel to see if I

988
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: remember here, it's Twitch, dot tv slash Carla Marie and

989
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:33,720
Speaker 1: Anthony you go, and then on Instagram, Carla Marie Anthony.

990
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 1: We have we each have accounts to I have at

991
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:38,880
Speaker 1: worst Anthony. It's at worst Anthony on everything, Instagram, Twitter,

992
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 1: I'm Carla Marie on everything And what about you two?

993
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 1: Because you are you? Did you do every date? No? No?

994
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 1: We actually when we met, um I had did I

995
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 1: still have a girlfriend? I think I still had a

996
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 1: girlfriend when we met, Um. I was friends with Carlin's

997
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:55,879
Speaker 1: boyfriend for a long time. And it's funny, even as

998
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 1: Carlin Maurie had a boyfriend, people thought we were dating,

999
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 1: even though they she would be posting with him all

1000
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 1: the time. Well, Amy and I had that for tenures

1001
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 1: in career. I feel like you guys still got hand.

1002
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:10,839
Speaker 1: Sometimes I think it's a it's a little but um,

1003
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 1: we got that. But the difference is like YouTube, I

1004
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:18,359
Speaker 1: don't ever see a boyfriend or a girlfriend and haven't well,

1005
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:21,320
Speaker 1: I normally make it a point not to post about

1006
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 1: relationship stuff, and I haven't had a long term girlfriend

1007
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,360
Speaker 1: for the last four and a half. But one of

1008
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: the things, and I don't know if you've ever dealt

1009
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:31,760
Speaker 1: with this, Bobby, but as a guy in our world,

1010
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 1: it's very hard to be open about a relationship and

1011
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 1: not be made out to be the bad guy. Well,

1012
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 1: because we're the bad guy, won't That's what I also,

1013
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 1: I try to protect the people who I am, who

1014
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 1: I do care about, because there's you know, in this

1015
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:50,759
Speaker 1: world where everyone's a keyboard bully or a keyboard hero,

1016
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:52,839
Speaker 1: there's a lot of times where you post things and

1017
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 1: comments that come through aren't necessarily the kindest. So I

1018
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 1: try to protect you. That's why don't even really posted

1019
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 1: about my family that often. I mean, Caitlyn struggles with

1020
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:03,279
Speaker 1: that people are so mean to her. They're just like,

1021
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 1: why they are so mean to her? I don't, I

1022
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 1: don't get it. I love her. She's like, I don't

1023
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 1: want to be in the public life. I post like

1024
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 1: once every month on Instagram, but she is. They're just

1025
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 1: so much to the point where she has to she

1026
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 1: limits comments, she limits she doesn't limits herself to even

1027
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 1: looking at it. She's like, I hate that. I I do,

1028
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:26,839
Speaker 1: and then I feel bad because I'm like, she didn't

1029
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 1: sign up for that, and I feel the same way,

1030
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 1: and that she knew what she was a little bit

1031
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:34,919
Speaker 1: getting into. But it's so much more brutal than even

1032
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,239
Speaker 1: I thought. Here's the thing about girls, They're meaner than

1033
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 1: guys are Yeah, her comments from girls making terrible about her,

1034
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:48,920
Speaker 1: about her body, about why she's with me. It's everything

1035
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 1: and horrendous to the point where it's she has not

1036
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 1: good days because of it. And listen who and you

1037
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:57,279
Speaker 1: can say, we'll just good all social mediacause that's what

1038
00:49:57,280 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 1: I would say, just get off of it. But then

1039
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 1: who do I love it? Why should she have to suffer?

1040
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 1: And I say that word meaning it suffer from not

1041
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:08,280
Speaker 1: because she loves to be on TikTok and look at TikTok.

1042
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 1: She doesn't she doesn't do very much on there, but

1043
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 1: she looks at she loves Instagram. I do too, And

1044
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 1: now because there are a couple of dicks and she

1045
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 1: can't get online, And it's like, why should she have

1046
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:19,400
Speaker 1: to stop doing something that she enjoys because there are

1047
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:21,400
Speaker 1: people who don't know how to use that platform like

1048
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 1: a normal human. Because no one, I not no one,

1049
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:26,359
Speaker 1: but not many people would probably say the things they

1050
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 1: say on Instagram or TikTok or Twitter to her face

1051
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 1: right ever, ever, they could be sitting next to in

1052
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 1: the movie theater for two straight hours, they would never

1053
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,360
Speaker 1: turn to her and say YadA, YadA, YadA. But on.

1054
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 1: But because we're all living behind these keyboards, it becomes

1055
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:42,520
Speaker 1: so easy to don't realize there's an actual person attached

1056
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 1: to that picture. And she shouldn't have to change her

1057
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 1: normal behavior because there are people who can't respect boundaries.

1058
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 1: Here everything that she's gorgeous, obviously, she everything I've heard

1059
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 1: from you, everything I've seen, She's an amazing person. And

1060
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:58,799
Speaker 1: granted that's what I get from social media. How is

1061
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:02,839
Speaker 1: someone getting anything different than that. It's because they're assigning

1062
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 1: it with their own mind and their insecure and they're jealous. Well,

1063
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 1: all that being said, you guys have never dated, you know,

1064
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 1: why don't you just go ahead and do it? And

1065
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 1: they'd be Bender and Jamie. Well that that depends. So

1066
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:19,880
Speaker 1: although it had the same ending that our radio show did,

1067
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:21,799
Speaker 1: so I guess it could have happened. No, I don't know.

1068
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 1: But and do you think that you will not develop

1069
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 1: as adults and your roles change and you're not just

1070
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 1: two single adults as you get How old are you? Anthony?

1071
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:36,400
Speaker 1: It's time, bro, it's time. It's not it's it's not

1072
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:38,280
Speaker 1: time to get married. Listen, not forty, I'm not married,

1073
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:40,840
Speaker 1: and you know I've had this conversation away. We we

1074
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 1: kind of had this, but at some point you have

1075
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 1: to go, Man, I can't let my job completely affect

1076
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:51,320
Speaker 1: my life. No, we have had that conversation. I actually

1077
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 1: took We had that conversation almost a year ago. Um,

1078
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 1: and I did take that to heart, and I tried

1079
00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:00,319
Speaker 1: to make sure that I was giving myself time to

1080
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 1: be a real person rather than just a person who

1081
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:04,960
Speaker 1: works on the radio. And I think Carla can probably

1082
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 1: back me up here. I did it better job, not

1083
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:09,399
Speaker 1: a great job, but I did a better job of

1084
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:13,719
Speaker 1: trying to carve out some personal time. No, I thought,

1085
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:19,319
Speaker 1: maybe I for me personally. It was after we got

1086
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 1: let go. I had a moment of I just missed

1087
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:24,799
Speaker 1: out on so much of my life for what I

1088
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 1: put so much time and effort into this career. I

1089
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:30,440
Speaker 1: said no to family, things, things with my friends, things

1090
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:34,440
Speaker 1: with you know, my own loan, time for this career,

1091
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:37,400
Speaker 1: for what to lose it all. And I've since circled

1092
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:39,239
Speaker 1: back on that. And I know how many lives I've

1093
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 1: touched and how many people I've met because of this career.

1094
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 1: And I take that sentiment back a little bit. But

1095
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 1: I've made a vow to myself that this whatever this

1096
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:49,120
Speaker 1: next career part of my life is, isn't going to

1097
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:51,799
Speaker 1: get the same person that this last part got. I'll

1098
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:53,920
Speaker 1: still do my job and be great at it, but

1099
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:56,400
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go above and beyond a career

1100
00:52:56,840 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 1: that I tend to retire from one day and hopefully

1101
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 1: have a family to dress of my years with. And

1102
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 1: if I put it all into that career, I'm not

1103
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 1: going to have that family when I retire. Well, and

1104
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:10,319
Speaker 1: in the counterintuitive way of what you're gonna take away

1105
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 1: from your career to form a family, that family and

1106
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 1: those stories are actually gonna be better for your for

1107
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 1: your radio job and career. I have a question for you.

1108
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:20,800
Speaker 1: Go ahead, because we did have this conversation about a

1109
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 1: year ago about finding time for your personal life and

1110
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 1: things like that. And I'm pretty sure after that is

1111
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:29,239
Speaker 1: when you met you met Caitlin, right, except we we're

1112
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:32,360
Speaker 1: probably together, like September of last year I met Caitlin

1113
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 1: and November. So then do you think it was just

1114
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:37,920
Speaker 1: you were living your life normally and that happened, or

1115
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 1: did you make a change to open yourself up completely

1116
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:45,880
Speaker 1: made a change? What did you do? Didn't rush to

1117
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:52,279
Speaker 1: judge didn't sabotage immediately. I'm guilty of that as well.

1118
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 1: I didn't do a lot of things that I wouldn't

1119
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 1: didn't really do anything differently, like outwardly. But what I

1120
00:53:58,200 --> 00:53:59,799
Speaker 1: didn't do was a lot of the things that I

1121
00:53:59,880 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 1: was doing that made the relationship really bad. Um. I

1122
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:06,239
Speaker 1: also was like auditioned by subtraction almost absolutely first and

1123
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 1: foremost I met the right girl. But then I just

1124
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 1: didn't do all the dumb things that I had done before.

1125
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 1: And I had met I've met no one had been

1126
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 1: with anyone that's been anywhere close to to Caitlin. So

1127
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:19,240
Speaker 1: number one was meeting the right girl. But I definitely

1128
00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 1: see how I could have just sabotaged myself and kicked

1129
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 1: myself in the in the nuts and been like it's

1130
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:26,319
Speaker 1: not gonna work. She lived long distance, you know, so

1131
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:29,480
Speaker 1: but it was great, um, and we're great now. It

1132
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 1: looks like it's fantastic. Well, and you know, everything on

1133
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:33,920
Speaker 1: Instagram is real. So I know you said I love you.

1134
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:38,120
Speaker 1: I'm so excited I did. I was like, he didn't

1135
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 1: say it on Instagram, but if he answered it to

1136
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:42,960
Speaker 1: cal and I was like, yes, the first time ever

1137
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:46,919
Speaker 1: to anybody, to anybody. How do you feel great? Because

1138
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:48,879
Speaker 1: I do. Were you nervous before he said the words?

1139
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:55,400
Speaker 1: It wasn't nervous. It was like, did you practice in

1140
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 1: the mirror? No? No, I couldn't. I don't, couldn't. The

1141
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:00,359
Speaker 1: only thing I've ever said it to my dog, ever,

1142
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 1: my last dog, not even this dog. Oh now this dog.

1143
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:06,480
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, but moly, it's like I love you,

1144
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:10,880
Speaker 1: but you're an idiot. Yeah, okay. Look, I in conclusion,

1145
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:12,880
Speaker 1: I'd like to do a little exercise here, because you know,

1146
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 1: I thought we do twenty minutes. I would like for you, Anthony, first,

1147
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:18,400
Speaker 1: I need you to say three positive words about yourself

1148
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:20,480
Speaker 1: because I feel like we need this right now. Go ahead,

1149
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:21,959
Speaker 1: I have to go first. You have to go first.

1150
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 1: Three positive words about yourself. You couldn't have picked the

1151
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:26,960
Speaker 1: worst person for this. I just started with a negative.

1152
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:38,960
Speaker 1: Three positive words around three positive words, Um, faithful, dedicated, Faithful,

1153
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:43,480
Speaker 1: Dedicated is loyal, the same thing as you can say.

1154
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 1: Do you know what's crazy is if I were to say, Anthony,

1155
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:47,920
Speaker 1: say three nice words about columb Or, you don't have to.

1156
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 1: You'd be able to go batman bank. But when it

1157
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 1: comes to having to say things about ourselves in a

1158
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:56,440
Speaker 1: positive light. It hurts, and it shouldn't. It shouldn't. It

1159
00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:01,239
Speaker 1: should almost flow out of you, carlamery, three positive things

1160
00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 1: and three positive words about yourself, supportive, caring, And I

1161
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:07,440
Speaker 1: also have to throw loyal And there's the first one

1162
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:13,399
Speaker 1: I thought about myself. But yeah, alright, she was really better. Yeah, yeah,

1163
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:16,040
Speaker 1: you gotta just thrown on you. First of all, good luck.

1164
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:19,560
Speaker 1: Second of all, you don't really need it. Um. You know,

1165
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:21,919
Speaker 1: my football coach would always say, tough times don't last,

1166
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:25,240
Speaker 1: but tough people do, and tough talent people really do.

1167
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:28,479
Speaker 1: And in the end, I think you'll learn and grow

1168
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 1: more from this than you would have had it just

1169
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 1: continued as was. And I think now you see that

1170
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 1: so grateful for this. And it's such a crazy thing

1171
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 1: to say, but I am, I am so I love

1172
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:45,279
Speaker 1: love you guys. You know that. Um, Mike, anythink you'd

1173
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:47,240
Speaker 1: like to say to these two, I also love you guys.

1174
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:50,760
Speaker 1: That's one of my favorite people. No offense to you, Bobby,

1175
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:56,239
Speaker 1: you probably spent more time with Mike. I will say this.

1176
00:56:56,719 --> 00:57:00,279
Speaker 1: I still I have this rotation of show that I

1177
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:03,720
Speaker 1: listened to normally that I hurt radio shows and uh,

1178
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:06,680
Speaker 1: other than Elvis, who's like my actual family. Basically, I

1179
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:08,400
Speaker 1: listen to you guys all the time, and it's because

1180
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:11,279
Speaker 1: I love what you guys do. I love what you've

1181
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 1: been able to build. And one day and I can

1182
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:18,320
Speaker 1: build something that is even a quarter of the success

1183
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:20,880
Speaker 1: that you've done. And what you guys do is amazing

1184
00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:25,600
Speaker 1: and encouraging. I appreciate that. That's kind one of the

1185
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 1: nicest things. Because in Austin a few years ago for

1186
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 1: our country festival, and we got off stage, and I

1187
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 1: still remember this. I got off we played, we did

1188
00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 1: a set, we played, and we got off stage, and

1189
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:40,320
Speaker 1: I got and listen in my heart, I'm just a

1190
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 1: radio guy and I get a lot of craft from

1191
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 1: other radio people that don't know me. And he sucks.

1192
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:48,680
Speaker 1: He shouldn't be where he is today because he's not good.

1193
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:53,840
Speaker 1: How it's NonStop, right, NonStop jealousy, however, and I like,

1194
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:56,720
Speaker 1: outwardly you know that, but still when it's hitting you, like,

1195
00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 1: like what's happening here? Like all I am is a

1196
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:02,880
Speaker 1: kid who had no connections at all, worked at a

1197
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:06,360
Speaker 1: tiny station and has every step ladder step just over

1198
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:09,200
Speaker 1: and over and over again. And to have people being

1199
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:15,000
Speaker 1: hateful because of success. You like, it's so weird. However,

1200
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 1: on the flip side of that, I remember getting off

1201
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 1: stage and I'm not a musician. I'm an entertainer. I'm

1202
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:22,320
Speaker 1: not a musician, but we get up and we play.

1203
00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:25,160
Speaker 1: We have a pretty funny band whatever, and Carlo Maray

1204
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:26,520
Speaker 1: semi at text it was like, Hey, to see a

1205
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:28,720
Speaker 1: radio person get up and do that. That was freaking

1206
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 1: awesome and inspiring. And that meant a lot to me

1207
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:32,880
Speaker 1: that you would just send that text. Not because of

1208
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 1: what I did, who I do stupid stuff, but because

1209
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:37,520
Speaker 1: you sent that test that text and said it that way.

1210
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 1: That was awesome. It's true, and it may it makes

1211
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:42,439
Speaker 1: people like us in the role that we're in think

1212
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:44,960
Speaker 1: you can be more than this. You can be more

1213
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:47,600
Speaker 1: than what you're doing, and you can have other dreams.

1214
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 1: I mean, anyone, really, anyone not to send anyone at radio.

1215
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 1: You can have other dreams and what you're currently doing.

1216
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:55,080
Speaker 1: And to see you guys get off there, I mean

1217
00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:57,080
Speaker 1: I lose my mind every time I see you guys

1218
00:58:57,120 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 1: perform live, because it's just the coolest thing. I full

1219
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:04,960
Speaker 1: blown like fan girl and that doesn't happen. It's Harry

1220
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:08,800
Speaker 1: Styles and me. But it's like, I am nothing but

1221
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:12,320
Speaker 1: a radio guy who said, well, let me use my

1222
00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:15,000
Speaker 1: platform to do a little bit of local TV, a

1223
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 1: little bit of writing for a local newspaper. Okay, let

1224
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:21,880
Speaker 1: me go and fly to California and try for anything

1225
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:23,800
Speaker 1: on the Oh, it's spend all my own money back

1226
00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 1: and forth, back and forth just to meet people, just

1227
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 1: to beg and then it's but then when it all

1228
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:30,560
Speaker 1: happens and all of a sudden, you're an overnight success

1229
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 1: and you don't deserve that. You're just like, why why

1230
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 1: are people in our industry like that's my frustration because

1231
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:40,919
Speaker 1: I want to be someone that can look at and go, dang,

1232
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:42,760
Speaker 1: look at him, Look look at the work he's put

1233
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 1: it made to do that. Well, look at you like that,

1234
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:47,400
Speaker 1: I'll say that, And I think you need to be

1235
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 1: just like you were telling us, it's better to be

1236
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:52,520
Speaker 1: conto yourself. I think you, yes, you are a radio

1237
00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:54,360
Speaker 1: person at heart, but you're a radio person who has

1238
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:57,480
Speaker 1: not been afraid or at least you've taken the chance

1239
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:00,720
Speaker 1: to do different things. And every time it's not easy

1240
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:02,560
Speaker 1: to do different things. It's not easy to say I'm

1241
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:04,280
Speaker 1: gonna go do stand up comedy or I'm gonna go

1242
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:06,720
Speaker 1: see if American I Al wants to have me out whatever,

1243
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:08,800
Speaker 1: Like I'm not I'm gonna dancing with the stars. You've

1244
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:14,800

Speaker 1: of time on this podcast talking about radio, but hopefully

Speaker 1: you found this interesting. All right, thanks, Right on right

1255
01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:44,600
Speaker 1: now with Damon Whiteside, the president of the Academy of

1256
01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:49,400
Speaker 1: Country Music the a c MS. Damon, how are you hey?

1257
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:52,360
Speaker 1: Real good? Excited to talk to you because you know

1258
01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:55,600
Speaker 1: the awards are coming up. However, before I talk about

1259
01:00:55,920 --> 01:00:59,480
Speaker 1: what's happening in a week or so, right, it's a week, Yeah,

1260
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:02,560
Speaker 1: it's about a come. It's one week from today, but

1261
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 1: who's counting, right? Okay, So before then, this thing, this

1262
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 1: a c M Awards show was supposedly going off what

1263
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:13,680
Speaker 1: seven months ago? Eight months ago, and it because of

1264
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:17,640
Speaker 1: COVID never happened. Right, It was going to be April five,

1265
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:20,720
Speaker 1: and then it was canceled and we ended up moving

1266
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:23,040
Speaker 1: it here to Nashville. And there was a lot that

1267
01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:25,120
Speaker 1: happened between that, right, Like, I mean, you had to think,

1268
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 1: first of all, are we going to cancel it? Can't

1269
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:29,160
Speaker 1: have it in Nashville in Vegas? Do we have it

1270
01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:32,040
Speaker 1: in Nashville? You know late April? Was there a lot

1271
01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:34,360
Speaker 1: of that before it was finally shut down? Oh? Yeah.

1272
01:01:34,520 --> 01:01:39,560
Speaker 1: It was definitely months of researching and having conversation, and honestly,

1273
01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:41,840
Speaker 1: it was very difficult to find a venue to how

1274
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:45,440
Speaker 1: is it? Because so many tours had been and shows

1275
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:48,480
Speaker 1: have been canceled and moved to the sub time. We

1276
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:50,520
Speaker 1: all kind of thought this COVID thing was going to

1277
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:53,520
Speaker 1: be temporary and everything, we'll be back to normal in

1278
01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:55,760
Speaker 1: the summer. So it was really hard to find venues

1279
01:01:55,840 --> 01:01:59,400
Speaker 1: and we literally scoured the country. But we ultimately wanted

1280
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:01,000
Speaker 1: to be in nash Field just because we you know,

1281
01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:03,280
Speaker 1: it's the home and country music, but also we wanted

1282
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 1: to be make it safe for our artists, um, so

1283
01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:09,120
Speaker 1: that they can just be at home and drive down

1284
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:12,400
Speaker 1: and not have to travel. And um, you know, so

1285
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 1: many in our industry have been hit really hard by

1286
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:17,200
Speaker 1: this and out of work, and so we didn't want

1287
01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:20,000
Speaker 1: to require the industry to have to travel. So we

1288
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:23,680
Speaker 1: just basically decided to put it in their backyard. It's

1289
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:27,280
Speaker 1: happening Wednesday, September and it's hosted by Keith Urban. My

1290
01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:30,720
Speaker 1: question about Keith is, did you know Keith wouldn't be

1291
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:32,680
Speaker 1: nominated for Entertainer of the Year when he was picked

1292
01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:40,280
Speaker 1: to to host and be like that guy. Uh No,

1293
01:02:40,520 --> 01:02:43,400
Speaker 1: we did not know at that time when we discussed

1294
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:48,120
Speaker 1: with him about him hosting. But he's our ragining Entertainer

1295
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:50,240
Speaker 1: of the Year right now and he actually jokes that

1296
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:53,480
Speaker 1: he's the longest running raining entertainer since our ships back

1297
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:57,440
Speaker 1: to September. So it's it's great to have to have

1298
01:02:57,720 --> 01:03:00,840
Speaker 1: him in the show. You're doing it from a different spots.

1299
01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:04,320
Speaker 1: All are super important, not just to me personally because

1300
01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:06,840
Speaker 1: I've played all of them, but just to country music

1301
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:08,760
Speaker 1: in the history of country music. So talk about those

1302
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:10,960
Speaker 1: three spots where the show will be broadcast from Oh

1303
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:13,600
Speaker 1: my gosh, it's it's like a dream come true to

1304
01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:16,720
Speaker 1: have this show happening in the three most famous country

1305
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:20,000
Speaker 1: music venues in the world. Um. But yes, it'll be

1306
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:23,440
Speaker 1: UM live from the Grand Old Opry in the Bluebird

1307
01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:26,440
Speaker 1: Cafe UM, and we're gonna have moments also from the

1308
01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:30,200
Speaker 1: Ryman Auditorium. So it's really absolutely you know, it's just

1309
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:33,760
Speaker 1: gonna be magical and such a such a homage to

1310
01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 1: country music and just you know, all the legends that

1311
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:41,760
Speaker 1: have been before us. The Bluebirds interesting because you know,

1312
01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:44,840
Speaker 1: again having performed there myself, it's so small. People are

1313
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:46,680
Speaker 1: are right on top of you when you do play

1314
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:49,919
Speaker 1: because it's so small. But it's definitely a songwriter's room.

1315
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:53,240
Speaker 1: And what you guys have done is you've put people

1316
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:57,200
Speaker 1: in that situation to kind of play to that scenario. Right,

1317
01:03:57,280 --> 01:03:59,680
Speaker 1: isn't Miranda doing something something with the songwriters who wrote

1318
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:04,240
Speaker 1: bluebir She is. Yeah, Miranda's performing with Natalie Hemby and

1319
01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:07,080
Speaker 1: Luke Dick who wrote Bluebird with her. So that's going

1320
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:09,600
Speaker 1: to be a really cool um set up and I

1321
01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:12,920
Speaker 1: think something we haven't seen her perform that song yet

1322
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 1: with the songwriters, so that's going to be kind of

1323
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:17,920
Speaker 1: a neat way to present that. Do you know who's

1324
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:21,880
Speaker 1: won the awards already? I do not know who's won.

1325
01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:23,720
Speaker 1: A lot of people have asked me that. But now

1326
01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:27,720
Speaker 1: they are still under lock and key with Deloitte, who's

1327
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:30,680
Speaker 1: our accounting firm that holds all that securely, and they

1328
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:34,520
Speaker 1: will be on site the night, live on site at

1329
01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:38,440
Speaker 1: the Opry House and handing envelopes to the presenters that night,

1330
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:42,520
Speaker 1: um to see who's gonna win. So um So, yeah,

1331
01:04:42,560 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 1: it's still a big mystery. Explain to me how that works, damon,

1332
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 1: because you pay a firm to do what count votes

1333
01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:53,200
Speaker 1: from people and then keep a secret. Yes, it's it's

1334
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:56,120
Speaker 1: just to ensure the integrity the awards. So they manage

1335
01:04:56,120 --> 01:05:00,120
Speaker 1: our voting process and they they are the one is

1336
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:03,880
Speaker 1: that hold all of that information and they analyze it

1337
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:05,800
Speaker 1: to make sure that there's not been any kind of

1338
01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:08,440
Speaker 1: discrepancies in any of the voting or anything like that.

1339
01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:12,800
Speaker 1: They flag it immediately if anything looks off in any way.

1340
01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:16,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's just as ensures that everything is accurate

1341
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:19,640
Speaker 1: and that we really maintain the integrity of the awards,

1342
01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:22,520
Speaker 1: and they do not share it with us until they

1343
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:25,720
Speaker 1: literally on that stage that night. They've got the envelopes

1344
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:29,760
Speaker 1: and they hand them physically from from the Deloitte person

1345
01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:32,960
Speaker 1: to the presenter that walks out and reads it. You know,

1346
01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 1: it feels like, you know, the A C. M s

1347
01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:37,720
Speaker 1: are They're happening so quick, and it's the first big

1348
01:05:37,760 --> 01:05:40,320
Speaker 1: Awards show since Pandemic and I hear your email just

1349
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:43,880
Speaker 1: blowing up. Is your life now right now? Like, Hey,

1350
01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 1: let me get on that show, let me get a

1351
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:48,480
Speaker 1: music perform performance slot on that show. I mean, is

1352
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:51,000
Speaker 1: it just all the time right now for you? It is?

1353
01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:53,240
Speaker 1: Although you know, I'll say at this point we're done

1354
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:55,720
Speaker 1: with the booking at this point, but the last you know,

1355
01:05:55,840 --> 01:05:57,880
Speaker 1: two months has definitely been that way. We've had a

1356
01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:00,800
Speaker 1: ton of interest, which has been great and being involved

1357
01:06:00,880 --> 01:06:03,080
Speaker 1: with the show. But I have to say it's going

1358
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:06,200
Speaker 1: to be this year in you know, talking with our

1359
01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:11,040
Speaker 1: executive producer, Rack Clark, who works tirelessly on this show,

1360
01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:14,000
Speaker 1: we figured out that we've got like twenty five artists

1361
01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:15,840
Speaker 1: in the show performing and it's going to be like

1362
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:19,000
Speaker 1: forty hits in the show. It's probably going to be

1363
01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:21,600
Speaker 1: more songs than an artist than we've ever had in

1364
01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:24,320
Speaker 1: an A C. M show. So it's pretty incredible being that,

1365
01:06:24,960 --> 01:06:26,680
Speaker 1: you know, in the midst of COVID were able to

1366
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:29,280
Speaker 1: be in these three incredible venues and have more music

1367
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:32,280
Speaker 1: than we've ever had. But that's what we're really going for,

1368
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:35,000
Speaker 1: was just to have a night that truly is celebrating

1369
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:38,640
Speaker 1: music and bringing some comfort to the fans and just

1370
01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:41,959
Speaker 1: given everybody just a really good time and a great

1371
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:44,200
Speaker 1: way to reflect on all these great artists that are

1372
01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:46,720
Speaker 1: going to win these big awards. If I can to

1373
01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:49,240
Speaker 1: your horn for a second, you know, you guys have

1374
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:53,760
Speaker 1: suggestioned that these artists play hits. You mentioned that, you know,

1375
01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:56,720
Speaker 1: because sometimes on awards shows, an artist wants to play

1376
01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:59,200
Speaker 1: their thing that's about to come or has just started,

1377
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:03,160
Speaker 1: and the viewer watching go, I don't even know this song. However,

1378
01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:07,240
Speaker 1: as I look at the list here of of songs

1379
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:10,640
Speaker 1: that these artists are playing, Gabby Barrett's playing I hope, uh,

1380
01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:14,440
Speaker 1: Carrie Underwood's doing a classic country melody. You have Randall

1381
01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:18,160
Speaker 1: Lambertine Bluebird, Morgan Wallen's doing whiskey Glasses. You have so

1382
01:07:18,680 --> 01:07:21,560
Speaker 1: like as thank you from me to you and how

1383
01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:23,320
Speaker 1: you're putting on the show, because I feel like I

1384
01:07:23,360 --> 01:07:25,760
Speaker 1: speak for a lot of the viewers like, thank you

1385
01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:29,040
Speaker 1: for having these artists do songs that we know. M hm.

1386
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:31,640
Speaker 1: That was a big important part of it. Yeah, as

1387
01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:34,040
Speaker 1: we you know, we wanted to bring some familiarity and

1388
01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:36,400
Speaker 1: we really want to bring you know, some of that

1389
01:07:36,520 --> 01:07:39,280
Speaker 1: the fans really just they want to sing along, and

1390
01:07:39,480 --> 01:07:41,960
Speaker 1: so we we felt that that was really important, and

1391
01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:45,000
Speaker 1: so there are a lot of songs that, um, you know,

1392
01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:47,400
Speaker 1: the fans are certainly going to know every word by heart.

1393
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:49,880
Speaker 1: We even have a huge opening at the beginning of

1394
01:07:49,920 --> 01:07:52,800
Speaker 1: the show where all of our Entertainers of the Year,

1395
01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:55,640
Speaker 1: the nominees for Entertaining or of the Year, are all

1396
01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:58,560
Speaker 1: going to perform one of their first ever number one hits.

1397
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:01,720
Speaker 1: So you're gonna hear class sick hits from the entertainer

1398
01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:05,080
Speaker 1: nominees that they haven't performed on stage, you know, in

1399
01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:07,360
Speaker 1: years and years. So it's gonna be pretty neat to

1400
01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:09,280
Speaker 1: see all of that. But there's also going to be

1401
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:12,080
Speaker 1: you know, a few songs that you know, maybe people

1402
01:08:12,120 --> 01:08:14,480
Speaker 1: are a little less familiar with, but we're excited about

1403
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:17,120
Speaker 1: that because we really want to hit the right tone

1404
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:20,719
Speaker 1: and um, you know, there's just some really beautiful songs

1405
01:08:20,760 --> 01:08:23,240
Speaker 1: such as Tricia Yourwood is going to be doing and

1406
01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:26,479
Speaker 1: in Memoriam, which is unlike anything we've ever done before,

1407
01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:28,840
Speaker 1: and she's doing a beautiful song called I'll Carry You Home.

1408
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:31,680
Speaker 1: Mickey Guidan of course, is going to do what Are

1409
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:34,439
Speaker 1: You Going to Tell Her? Which is an incredibly powerful song.

1410
01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:37,200
Speaker 1: So I'm excited just you know, for people to hear

1411
01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:42,200
Speaker 1: some music that they also haven't memorized yet. A couple

1412
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:44,240
Speaker 1: of those other ones that are newer that I'm looking

1413
01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:47,400
Speaker 1: forward to. Our Luke Holmbs doing Better Together from Blue

1414
01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:49,719
Speaker 1: from the Bluebird, which I think is gonna be freaking great,

1415
01:08:50,080 --> 01:08:52,559
Speaker 1: and then Marion Morris doing to Hell and Back, which

1416
01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:54,200
Speaker 1: she's played on my show pretty recently, and it's just

1417
01:08:54,280 --> 01:08:56,920
Speaker 1: such a good song. So it's like there's a distinction

1418
01:08:56,960 --> 01:08:58,680
Speaker 1: you have to make between wanting to hear hit or

1419
01:08:58,840 --> 01:09:01,400
Speaker 1: if it's just so com pelling new and I think

1420
01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:04,160
Speaker 1: you guys have really nailed that. It's a good it's

1421
01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:06,639
Speaker 1: a good mix and you know, and essentially, like Thomas

1422
01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:10,000
Speaker 1: Read is performing at John Party, they're doing Beer Camp Fix,

1423
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:12,479
Speaker 1: which they were originally going to do that back in April,

1424
01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:14,320
Speaker 1: and we're really glad that they're still going to do that.

1425
01:09:14,360 --> 01:09:16,400
Speaker 1: Because it's a lot of you know, going to be

1426
01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:19,240
Speaker 1: a lot of fun and old dominion too. I think

1427
01:09:19,280 --> 01:09:21,760
Speaker 1: when when fun thing for this year is that they're

1428
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:23,719
Speaker 1: going to do a medley of their number one hits,

1429
01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:26,559
Speaker 1: and so that's that's great too, because I think fans

1430
01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:28,400
Speaker 1: are going to hear that and just go, you know, wow,

1431
01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:30,760
Speaker 1: I love all of these songs, and so it's just

1432
01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:33,680
Speaker 1: gonna be wall to wall music and just a lot

1433
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:36,920
Speaker 1: of great artists. All right, damon, Well, if I feel

1434
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:39,360
Speaker 1: like just in this call, you have seventy three emails

1435
01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:42,840
Speaker 1: to return just this that I heard, and uh, probably

1436
01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:45,320
Speaker 1: a hundred texts. So I'll let you go, but let

1437
01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:50,000
Speaker 1: me remind everybody Wednesday, September at seventh Central wherever you are,

1438
01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:51,960
Speaker 1: a seventh Central, Keith Urban's hosting. It's the A C

1439
01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:55,919
Speaker 1: M Awards. I personally cannot wait because I've been craving

1440
01:09:55,960 --> 01:09:58,280
Speaker 1: a good old live Country music Awards show, but one,

1441
01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:00,719
Speaker 1: this one since April, and I'm super up. It's in Nashville,

1442
01:10:00,760 --> 01:10:03,439
Speaker 1: damn it. So good luck and thank you, and we're gonna.

1443
01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:06,320
Speaker 1: I will be there. I'll be presenting. I would rather

1444
01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:09,160
Speaker 1: to your horn than mine during this segment, but I

1445
01:10:09,240 --> 01:10:12,479
Speaker 1: will be presenting, and it's uh, there's no right carpet.

1446
01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:14,200
Speaker 1: It's all COVID. So it's like you go in, you

1447
01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:16,400
Speaker 1: do your deal. You you don't touch anybody else, right,

1448
01:10:16,439 --> 01:10:19,840
Speaker 1: and then you you you're done. Absolutely, yeah, it is

1449
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:24,360
Speaker 1: all touchless. And artists just walk in and they walk in,

1450
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:27,080
Speaker 1: they do their thing, and they walk out and they

1451
01:10:27,200 --> 01:10:29,960
Speaker 1: never near anybody else except for you know, maybe their

1452
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:33,240
Speaker 1: own personal manager. That's it. I love a touch less ceremony.

1453
01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:35,479
Speaker 1: All right, Damon, good to talk to you, my friend.

1454
01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:41,479
Speaker 1: Good luck. All right, take care of that is Damon Whiteside,

1455
01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:43,439
Speaker 1: President at the a c m S. Here's the thing

1456
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:47,880
Speaker 1: for me, Well, I'm not taking a date. I would

1457
01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:51,160
Speaker 1: I would have taken Caitlin. I was taking her back

1458
01:10:51,280 --> 01:10:54,880
Speaker 1: when the original one was happening, so I would have

1459
01:10:54,920 --> 01:10:57,599
Speaker 1: taken Caitlin. But I still have to buy or find

1460
01:10:57,720 --> 01:11:02,160
Speaker 1: nice clothes. Mostly have to biome because nobody I'm not famous,

1461
01:11:02,200 --> 01:11:05,160
Speaker 1: so no one wants to give me clothes to wear

1462
01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:07,479
Speaker 1: because it makes the clothes the cool. Just have to

1463
01:11:07,520 --> 01:11:09,400
Speaker 1: buy it. I'm super pumped that I get to do this,

1464
01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:13,360
Speaker 1: but the one mini drawback is I have to go

1465
01:11:13,479 --> 01:11:16,160
Speaker 1: buy new clothes for the Award show. You even have

1466
01:11:16,200 --> 01:11:18,080
Speaker 1: to do that in a while, I haven't. That's a

1467
01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:20,960
Speaker 1: good thing though, all right, thanks to Damon Whiteside and

1468

Speaker 1: we're just they're just kind of hiding a plain sight.

1584
01:19:13,280 --> 01:19:16,400
