1
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: Our agent just said, just go in, do the weather,

2
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: the calls, and play solitaire all morning and cash those checks.

3
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 2: So in the meantime all worked to get you out of this,

4
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 2: and he eventually did and they had to pass eighteen

5
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 2: months to do nothing, which was great.

6
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 3: So I saw these guys on social media and a

7
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 3: message to them, going, hey, why don't you come over

8
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 3: to the house and let's just talk about music.

9
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 1: Man.

10
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,319
Speaker 3: They had some great stories about Garth Brooks. You're going

11
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 3: to hear all of that. But as a radio show,

12
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 3: they were really successful and they still do a lot

13
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 3: of really cool content now. But Tony and Chris, Tony

14
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 3: and Chris began, they did thirty three years together. They

15
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 3: started back in Alabama in ninety one. They were in

16
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 3: San Diego for nearly sixteen years. They moved to Nashville

17
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 3: to syndicate. They went to Knoxville. It's just the fact

18
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 3: that they had been together so long and they had

19
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 3: so many good stories, and I really respect their story

20
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 3: at being in this weird industry.

21
00:00:58,440 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: You know.

22
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 3: I thought it was a really fun interview, and if

23
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 3: I'm being extremely honest, I think we were flying out

24
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 3: right after this. I was going or I was going

25
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 3: somewhere right after this, and I was pretty exhausted, and

26
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 3: I was very happy that it was Tony and Chris

27
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 3: because as tired as I was, I have to focus

28
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 3: even harder. But they were so great I didn't have

29
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 3: to worry about that. I had so many stories, this

30
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 3: story after story. They banned sugar Land from coming on

31
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 3: their show once, which I saw on their TikTok. I

32
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 3: did see that one, and they're sharing music and pop

33
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 3: culture facts on their TikTok. So check it out at

34
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 3: Tony and Chris Show. I think you'll like this because

35
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 3: there's a lot of country music. There's a lot of

36
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 3: like inside Radio and their career, my career, Tony and

37
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 3: Chris here, episode four sixty four on the Bobby Cast.

38
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 3: So I was on TikTok and I came across you

39
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 3: guys page, and so then I just sent Mike a

40
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 3: message and said, Hey, let's get Tony and Chris on

41
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 3: because it'd be fun to come and talk to them

42
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 3: about the similar things that we do. This is Eddie,

43
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 3: by the way, Eddie's Hey, ed, He's my best friend.

44
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 3: Eddie's on the morning show. And so I was just

45
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 3: watching a lot of the stories that you guys were

46
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 3: telling and I was super entertained by it. But I

47
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 3: was like, man, I would like to ask them questions

48
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 3: about their experiences with some of the same people, because

49
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 3: you know, everybody's got a story. And I could tell

50
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 3: you there have been people, an artists that really didn't

51
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 3: like and then I spent more time with them or

52
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 3: they matured and then I liked And they probably can

53
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 3: said the same about me.

54
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: So we had experiences where we would meet an artist

55
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: and we were like, that was a total jackass, and

56
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 2: then people wou tell us there's that's impossible, there's no

57
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 2: way he was that way it was, and then after

58
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: some time you're like, oh, just he gets had a

59
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 2: bad day.

60
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:29,679
Speaker 4: He's human being.

61
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: That's the thing I don't think most people understand is

62
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: everybody has bad days.

63
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 3: And I didn't either, if I'm being honest, like I

64
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 3: would just think, well, what a douche. But I also

65
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 3: was very immature. But then I would have somebody like

66
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 3: see me at a restaurant and not say hi, and

67
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 3: then post something like, man, he was a real real dick.

68
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 3: I was like, nobody said hi to me, and I'm

69
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 3: very quiet when I and that's not fair, and I

70
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 3: think having that done to me and that's how I

71
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 3: had to learn, was me going, I mean, I shouldn't

72
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 3: do that to folks. I should really at least give

73
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 3: him a pass or two because I get sick sometimes

74
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 3: I'm no, you know, ball and glory. When I'm sick,

75
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 3: I'm tired sometimes so and I think one of them

76
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 3: for me was was Carrie and that she's so shy

77
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 3: Carrie Underwood when she's not on meaning not talking to

78
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 3: a microphone. I thought she hated me the first two

79
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 3: or three. Yes, it's good, thank you.

80
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 5: Work.

81
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 3: I thought Carrie hated my guts because she was just

82
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 3: quiet and I was like, man, she But then fourth

83
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 3: or fifth time, sixth when we lived pretty close to

84
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 3: each other two at the time. I love Carrie now,

85
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 3: but it took me a few times to go, oh,

86
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 3: some people are just really great on camera and on

87
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 3: microphone and in person. But unfairly I'm the sameish way.

88
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: Well, you got to remember two things too, And this

89
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: is a knock on our industry. There's a lot of

90
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: radio douchebags out there, and a lot of times when

91
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: an artist knows they're going to be around radio, are

92
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna have to deal with that used car

93
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: salesman like, hey, yeah, very so once they learned, hey,

94
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: you're normal, you're cool, then they can kind of lose.

95
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 2: There's a surprising number, and I've become one of these.

96
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: I didn't used to be this way, but there's a

97
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 2: surprising number of introverted people who have a very social job,

98
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 2: artists included.

99
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 4: I mean, when they're not on you know, they love it.

100
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 4: It's there. You're one of those.

101
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying that I'm the same way. If

102
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 2: I'm not on camera, I'm not doing what we're doing.

103
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 4: I'm quiet.

104
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 2: I don't necessarily love to be in a group of people.

105
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 2: Now that didn't used to be the case.

106
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 4: I don't know. That's something I've developed as I got older,

107
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 4: but I.

108
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 2: Get it, and so I definitely give these guys an

109
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 2: opportunity to not prove themselves. But so well, I'm gonna

110
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 2: wait a couple more times before I decide, Okay, he's

111
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 2: definitely a dick.

112
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 3: I think Caine Brown and I'm now I would say

113
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 3: I'm friend friends with Kane, like not just buddies, but friends.

114
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 3: Caine was very quiet, very guarded. Caine kind of came

115
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 3: out of obscurity and then it was like boom, social

116
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 3: media boom. And Caine wasn't. He wasn't demonstrative in his movements.

117
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 3: He didn't have a lot to say. But that same

118
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 3: exact Cane Brown is exactly the same way now. But

119
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 3: he now that I know him, he might be one

120
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 3: of the top three kindest guys as far as if

121
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 3: you hear somebody has something going on, like Kine jumps

122
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 3: to help people misjudge Kane like crazy. And I can

123
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 3: say that now because I've spent enough time with him

124
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 3: and I've been able to kind of develop that relationship.

125
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 3: Eddie Kane was tough.

126
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 6: Right, Oh he was because he's short. All his answers

127
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 6: are sho no, no, no, his answers are short. You

128
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 6: know the appearance too. You see a guy with a

129
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 6: bunch of tattoo is the kind of good looking guy

130
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 6: you automatically think like, Okay, he thinks he's just too cool.

131
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 6: But no, We've spent a lot of time with Kane

132
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 6: and he's awesome.

133
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Kan would like show like Amy my co

134
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 3: host has a black son, and Caine would like hear

135
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 3: his stories and know he didn't have a lot of

136
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 3: black friends Amy's son, but camould like show up in

137
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 3: like his birthday, give him a PlayStation like out of

138
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 3: nowhere like And that was just like the beginning of

139
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 3: what I learned about Cane. But then as I became

140
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 3: friends with him, like I can push back on him, right,

141
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 3: I can like bust his balls, which I would never

142
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 3: have done early.

143
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: But you feel like you just have to be very

144
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: careful with which artist you do that with, because I've

145
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: got some artists I consider friends, not friendly with, but friends.

146
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 4: But I still am like it depends on his mood today.

147
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 3: That's a great point too, I would say, Jake. Oh,

148
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 3: and who again, My wife and I are super close

149
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 3: to Jake and his fiance, and you know, Jake's one

150
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 3: of our best guests pound for pound, I would say

151
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 3: best guests because if he's in a good mood, I

152
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 3: can let him have it. But you're right, if he's

153
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 3: in if he's not in a good space, can we

154
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 3: got to kinda be careful to go.

155
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 4: To that older Jake thing.

156
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, we gotta kind of be careful.

157
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 6: You two butt heads though a lot, because can you

158
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 6: guys are so real with each other that they just

159
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 6: butt heads so.

160
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 2: That's what you want. I think ultimately everybody wants that.

161
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 2: The listener wants to hear some real You want some

162
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 2: real he wants he just wants an interaction that's not

163
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 2: telling me about the new album. So that all works,

164
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 2: and I think it's all a win when you have

165
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 2: just like that who are willing to play. We certainly

166
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 2: have found it over the years. I mean the people

167
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 2: we've talked to, the ones who will let you play,

168
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 2: were at the end of the thing, you're going, oh,

169
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 2: god man, we forgot to talk about the album, and

170
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 2: they're like, I don't even care.

171
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 4: That's what I wanted. I just wanted somebody to be real.

172
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 3: Who would you say pound for Pound is? Because again

173
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 3: I'm gonna put Jake as number one in ours, Like,

174
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 3: look what I say, Garth's awesome, but we only talked

175
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 3: to Garth every four or five or six months or whatever.

176
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 3: Who's pound for pound? You guys think your most consistent

177
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 3: interview that you know it's gonna be awesome.

178
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 2: Well, I mean in the day it was Kenny Roger

179
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 2: Kenny Rodgers, but really only ever had him once and

180
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 2: he was older, so I didn't get to experience that.

181
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 4: What was he like, oh my.

182
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: God, he's I still today. It's almost like he was

183
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:41,119
Speaker 1: a father.

184
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 4: He was a father for sure.

185
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: Ad buy some stuff and we'd be like, I'm managing

186
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: an artist now, and all I do is give him

187
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: like this.

188
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 4: Is what Kenny Rodgers did.

189
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: He was incredible and his stories would always be like,

190
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: we had jingles made for him at our stay. I

191
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: told this story a little while ago, but we had

192
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: jingles made for him that it was It's the Kenny

193
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: Rodgers show. And whenever he would show up in San Diego,

194
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: we had just turned the show over to him and

195
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: start telling stories. And he'd be like, well, I was

196
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: at Quincy Jones' house and Prince shows up, you know

197
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff.

198
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 4: I mean, he was in the early two thousands.

199
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 2: He was already telling us some of those behind the

200
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 2: scenes of the Weird of the World, you know the.

201
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 4: Nets in the documentary, and told those stories.

202
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 2: He told us the story about you know, Don Henley

203
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 2: and Shiloh giving them their start and helping the Eagles

204
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 2: get their publishing and all this crazy story.

205
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 4: And he was just always on.

206
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: But his kindness where he would go out of his

207
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: way to tell stuff like I remember one time I

208
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: said something, and he just goes, Chris, remember everybody's three people,

209
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: who you think you are, who they think you are,

210
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: and who you really are. And the closer you make

211
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,239
Speaker 1: all three of those, the better your career.

212
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 4: In life's going to go.

213
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: And he goes, I used to wear leather pants and

214
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: have my shirt un button down to my belly button.

215
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: And he goes, that wasn't me, and he goes, I

216
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: finally one day said I'm a suit guy. I put

217
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: on a suit, started being myself, and my career exploded.

218
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 4: And I just thought that was great.

219
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, Kenny was good for us, but he was older.

220
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 4: Our last interview with him, it was tough and we

221
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 4: almost killed him.

222
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 2: I mean we we almost pulled the old pulled the

223
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 2: chair out and under That's all we needed endo our career.

224
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 2: I was like, Ken, you don't wait, we might move

225
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 2: that chair hang on because he was about to sit

226
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 2: back down, So no.

227
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 4: No chair, It slid out of his way.

228
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, what about because Dolly's always awesome? And I guess

229
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 3: I think a dolliecause a Kenny, but also Dolly. I've

230
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 3: had a great relationship with Dolly. You guys have experience

231
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 3: of Dolly.

232
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 4: Yes, have.

233
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 3: They always been wonderful because she's so professional. And I

234
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 3: mean that in the most in the best way.

235
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: And let me tell you how stupid we are before

236
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: we can get to that. We've never take a while. Okay,

237
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 1: we'll just do the top one here. We've never been

238
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: the guys like we need to get an autograph, we

239
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: need to get the picture. But we have all the

240
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: pictures and stuff. The only people we do not have

241
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: pictures with that we've interviewed are Willie Dolly. And there

242
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: was one other one that we were like, ah, we

243
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: don't want to bug him with.

244
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 4: Him the really thing.

245
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 2: He was making us a sandwich on his bus and

246
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 2: I was like, this would be in the days of

247
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 2: if those were cell phone days, and like no, just

248
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 2: picture that's just cool didn't exist. So that's just a

249
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 2: mo with that lives in our heart.

250
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 4: You know. It's a great memory that we'll have when

251
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 4: he's got on.

252
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: But Dolly, just I mean, and this is going back

253
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: to Kenny Rogers. Kenny said, Dolly can tell the most

254
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: off color jokes and embarrass you. He goes, I only

255
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: tell off color jokes. If I'm I know everybody in

256
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: the room. She will blow in and just unload and

257
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: I and she's never done that around us, but she's

258
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: always what you see on TV is what you get.

259
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: Kind of like how we describe Blake Shelton. You know,

260
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: when everybody says, oh, I love him on the voice,

261
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: and that's Blake. Yeah, he's not being anybody else, and

262
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: that's accurate. That's that's very much Blake. What's your guys

263
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: the story? Howd you meet Tender?

264
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 7: No?

265
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 4: I'm just just you know, sheer luck.

266
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 2: We were in a very small town in Alabama and

267
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 2: I in college. My first paying radio job was in country,

268
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 2: although at the time that was not music that I enjoyed,

269
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 2: but I was like, hey, I need beer money, so

270
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 2: this is good.

271
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 4: This is good. Worked there for a few years.

272
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 3: What town was that?

273
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 4: That was? I lived in Gadston, Alabama.

274
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 2: This station was Anniston, Alabama at that time, WHMA one

275
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 2: hundred thousand, wats in big station?

276
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 3: Who had the Bama played on the truck out? There

277
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 3: is that here right here?

278
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 4: He's born and raised?

279
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 2: Okay, go ahead, yeah, And so anyway, worked there for

280
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 2: a while and then when I had my first kid,

281
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 2: really young, unexpectedly, I say, closer to home. It seems

282
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 2: like Gadsden. Anderston seems so far apart back then because

283
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 2: it was such a small town, like, oh, it's forty

284
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 2: minutes now, Like we lived in San Diego. I drove

285
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 2: to work an hour every day one way, but got

286
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 2: a job at a rock station. He was like, Hey,

287
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 2: it's closer to your house. And he just said that baby,

288
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 2: it's a little more money, and I said, man, that'd

289
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 2: be great. And then they hired Chris and he and

290
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 2: I met became friends first, which I think is super

291
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 2: important to our story and why we have been able

292
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 2: to keep it going for so long without any blow ups.

293
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 4: Without any problems.

294
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 2: We were just we knew we liked each other going in,

295
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 2: and then we got lucky and that we also happened

296
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 2: to have great chemistry, you know, on the air. We

297
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 2: both had a similar mindset of what we wanted to accomplish,

298
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 2: how we wanted to do it, who we wanted to be,

299
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,719
Speaker 2: you know, and you know.

300
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 4: We went from there. We worked together for a very

301
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 4: short time before we really got our big brain.

302
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: And what you just said, Tony, I wanted to ask

303
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 1: you about because I do think had we not our

304
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: story of how we got to San Diego's crazy but

305
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: how you surround yourself with good people, make sure everybody's

306
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: got the same goal, because you know as well as

307
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: us how hard it is. There's always somebody trying to

308
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: do their own thing or not following the path. And

309
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: I think if we had not had John Demmick, Mike Shephard,

310
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: Steve Renols, we're Steve Reynold's guys. He's a great consultant

311
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: in our life, we'd probably be selling cars and I wouldn't.

312
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 4: Be selling anything. I'm a terrible salesperson.

313
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 2: I can't even sell myself. I'm not the worst, So

314
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 2: I don't know what i'd be doing, but it would be.

315
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 3: That very similarly. Again, mylepath has been odd, as in

316
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 3: nowhere I went, did they ever say we trust and

317
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 3: believe in you, And here's a bunch of money or

318
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 3: any money to hire anybody, So such as hire all

319
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 3: my friends because they would work for free or cheap.

320
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 3: And what was a curse actually turned out to be

321
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 3: the best thing for me. Is sure, we all made

322
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 3: no money for a long time, but I was able

323
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 3: to hire my friends and I trusted them, not only

324
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 3: trusted them to be with me, but they made me

325
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 3: feel better. So I was better right, like they would

326
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 3: put me in a place where I thought comfortable. And

327
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 3: you know, if you're comfortable, you perform so much better.

328
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter what you're doing, if I'm doing stand up,

329
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 3: or if I'm doing or Eddie and or do music

330
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 3: or we're doing the radio show. If you just feel

331
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 3: better and loose and free, you perform better. So much

332
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 3: like what you guys found. But what were you Tony?

333
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 3: What what shift were you doing at the rock station

334
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 3: mid days? And what Chris, what were you doing when

335
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 3: you came in?

336
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: I was doing swing shift weekends. I started in radio

337
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: when I was fourteen and was at a competitive, competing

338
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: station across town.

339
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 3: So you guys were in the same town, but you

340
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 3: came to the same station that he was for like weekends.

341
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 3: And is there like a potluck or something? Because I

342
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 3: worked at a very small station and we almost never

343
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 3: saw each other unless you were there at the shift

344
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 3: when the switch off happened.

345
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 4: I was one of those guys.

346
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: When I was fourteen, I decided I was going to

347
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: get into radio because I listened to Mark and Bryan

348
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 1: and wanted to.

349
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 3: Be them in La.

350
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, they were in Birmingham, and I wanted to be.

351
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 4: They were in birminghaming in Alabama. That's where we worshiped them.

352
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 4: We were like, and we want to be those guys.

353
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 3: Wow.

354
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: And I was at the station and I would win

355
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: everything they gave away and given that guy, they finally

356
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: just said, will you quit win and everything? I said,

357
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: give me a tour of the state and I'll stop.

358
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 1: And they gave me a tour and I said, I'm

359
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 1: going to work here, and they said, well, go to college.

360
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: I said, I'm not going to college. I hate school.

361
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 4: And a year later.

362
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: I was just there all the time. If DJ needed

363
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: his car washed, I washed his car, if I did whatever.

364
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: And someone didn't show up for a shift one night

365
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 1: and I was like, I can do it, and they

366
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: were like really. And that's how I got started. So

367
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: then when we met, we did much the same thing.

368
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: We were like, let's just get some chemistry. Whenever one

369
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: of us have a remote, the other one will come

370
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: for free, and we'll just do the breaks together to

371
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: start talking together.

372
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 3: We did remote breaks together.

373
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 2: And just to get a feel for me together. Ye yes,

374
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 2: it's not as easy as people. If you're good at

375
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 2: it, it sounds super easy, but you know it isn't.

376
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: And then the crazy thing is when we got our

377
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: first morning gig, which Tony tells that story better than me,

378
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: but talking about kindness, we didn't have an aircheck and

379
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: June Jam was going on in Fort Payne, Alabama, and

380
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: my old PD called and said, Hey, I've got a

381
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: friend we just hired from our pop station to be

382
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: on the country station, and he's the PD. He needs

383
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: to stay somewhere in Fort Payne for this June Jam

384
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: a concert.

385
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it was like a festal back to do

386
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 4: that in Fort Payne.

387
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a good name. I didn't know if

388
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 3: it was like a woman that made suit like June Jam.

389
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 3: You know where she lived down on Third Street.

390
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: I apologize, got it? No, no, no, Alabama did that

391
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: for years. I think they brought it back just a

392
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: couple of years ago and been doing it. But it

393
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: was the thing. And we were like, dude, there's not

394
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: a hotel room within one hundred three hotels in pain

395
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: and we were like, but we're renting a place if

396
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: he wants to sleep on the couch. And so he

397
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: came and he hung out for two or three days

398
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: with us and walked around and at the end of

399
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: the ice. It had to be divine intervention or something,

400
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: because he goes, do you all have a tape of

401
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: your show?

402
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 4: And we said no.

403
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 3: Did you have a show though? Yes at that time?

404
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 3: So you started doing a show together?

405
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 4: But how did that have?

406
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 3: I know you're doing breaks, but who believed in you?

407
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 3: And did you do like weekend stuff first? Or what

408
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 3: happened to you even get on the air together as

409
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 3: a formal show.

410
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 4: Well we his hormones really are to think he was.

411
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 2: It was Saturday and my old country station was across

412
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 2: the street at a pool store doing a remote and

413
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 2: they had a girl out there at the at the

414
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 2: hot tub in a bikini or whatever I do.

415
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 4: I was getting off. He was getting on. You go

416
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 4: over there and finding who that is? Get her number?

417
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: Man?

418
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 4: I said, first of all, Nut your pimp, and I'm

419
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 4: not going.

420
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 3: To do this.

421
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 2: I'm not going out to get you. I'm scooring chicks

422
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 2: for you, so please men, just okay. So I go

423
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 2: over and in the process of this.

424
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 4: Which there was no social media, it was battle conditions

425
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 4: and let me let me and let me skip to

426
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 4: the end.

427
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 2: I never got her number because I got sidetracked. My

428
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 2: old boss was there and I said, hey, how you doing,

429
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 2: you know, catching up, and he's like, oh, you know,

430
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 2: we're looking for a morning show. I said, what a coincidence,

431
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 2: we're trying to be a morning show. Could we don't

432
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 2: He said, you have a table, said, we don't have anything.

433
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 2: We're brand new. And the tape we made was this

434
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 2: fake tape thinking we were going to be rot Guy.

435
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 2: So it was a much different kind of tape that

436
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 2: we sent out, you know, to everybody, thinking well, those

437
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 2: offers are going to come rolling in now, which it

438
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 2: was terrible. So he said, hey, yeah, man, that'd be great.

439
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 2: He says, you could come over to the station. You

440
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 2: could just make one right in our studio.

441
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 4: Great.

442
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 2: So it's the day we're supposed to do this and

443
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 2: the weather went crazy. Tornadoes are coming through like nobody's business.

444
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 2: But we're not going to miss this up opportunity. So

445
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 2: we jumped in my little colt and off we went,

446
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 2: drove through a tornado, literally drove through a tornado to

447
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 2: get to the radio station to make this audition tape.

448
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 4: For whatever reason, he liked it and he gave us

449
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 4: the job, and it was I think we agreed to

450
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 4: twelve thousand a year each. Well, we made no money.

451
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 4: I don't think it was the tape. We made no money.

452
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was cheap, but it was crazy because they

453
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 2: you know, he puts us in the room and he says,

454
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 2: all right, you'll be on Monday morning.

455
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 4: We have no clock.

456
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 2: He gave us no notes, he gave us no information.

457
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 2: We had never done a morning show together.

458
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 4: We didn't, so all we knew was, Okay, we think

459
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 4: we're pretty funny. Is it something Mark and Brian would

460
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 4: have done?

461
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 2: This is a bit Mark and Brian would do, So

462
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 2: let's just steal it and we'll just do that. And

463
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 2: we made a name and we showed up in Birmingham's

464
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 2: ratings and it was crazy and.

465
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 5: Like a little bit.

466
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 3: Wasn't that a blessing that you didn't know what to

467
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 3: do so you didn't do it like anything? Because I

468
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 3: felt like that way about me because I just kind

469
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 3: of raw dogged about ten years in my career. I

470
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,360
Speaker 3: knew nothing, didn't know anybody had nobody. I even knew

471
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 3: that it was in radio. But again, it was the

472
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 3: best thing that ever happened to me because I made

473
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 3: my own style of you know what, was like, wow,

474
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 3: look at this new No. I just didn't know what

475
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 3: I was doing, but that allowed me to figure out

476
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 3: what I was best at. Like do you look back

477
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 3: at that and go, man, that was really beneficial to.

478
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 2: And and it's crazy too because you know, you first

479
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 2: start out, we'd never done an interview, so the first

480
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 2: few interviews are terrible, but that ended up being the

481
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 2: best thing we do over time. You know, when people

482
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 2: talked about training artists, there is that he can we

483
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 2: bring him in and let you guys do an interview

484
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 2: because we think that would be.

485
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 4: Great for them. Yeah, one hundred percent.

486
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 2: But the gig was you know, it was it was

487
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 2: crazy and it was and then you know, you fast

488
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 2: forward a little bit. I think we got that job

489
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 2: in maybe October of ninety one, and then June and

490
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 2: this guy is staying with.

491
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 4: Us, and then the tape thing. Oh yeah, that June

Speaker 4: Jam and she was awesome.

493
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 3: By the way, June Jam really I loved her.

494
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: I loved her as our friend that we were introduced

495
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 1: to had stayed with us all weekend.

496
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 4: He just goes, do you have a tape of your show?

497
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: We were like, Noah, And right then, I mean, as

498
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: he's the words are coming out of his mouth. RPD

499
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: walks up and goes, guys, I made a CMA entry,

500
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 1: it's all you guys, and hands us the tape and.

501
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 3: He basically an audition tape that he had.

502
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: I was Dave Kelly, who ended up working for Big

503
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: Loud all those years and everything, and it was just like, wow,

504
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: if we had been mean to him or snotty and

505
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: just said don't know what to tell you, there's no

506
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: rooms left, and what's great is who knows where we'd be.

507
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 4: This was happening unbeknownst to us.

508
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 2: We gave him that tape to thinking, Okay, great, he'll

509
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 2: listen to the tape and that it'll be that. Behind

510
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 2: the scenes, we were hoping our big five year plan

511
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 2: was to get a job in Birmingham. We can get

512
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 2: to Birmingham.

513
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 4: That'd be great.

514
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 3: That was literroc to me. But yeah, you're Birmingham was

515
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 3: my literarrock. Yeah, so that was our thing.

516
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 2: And then we find out that Dave has given that

517
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 2: tape to a consultant, Phil Hunt, who was Rusty Walker's partner,

518
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 2: legendary consultant back in the day, and he was going

519
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 2: to get us a job in Charlotte. And we found

520
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 2: they told us say, hey, I think they're going to

521
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 2: offer you this job in Charlotte, and.

522
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 4: We were pissing our pants. We're like, they've got a

523
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,239
Speaker 4: they've got a basketball team. There's that's like a real city, man.

524
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 4: I mean it was. It was too It was just crazy.

525
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 2: And then Rusty Walker said, no, I got to I

526
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 2: think I got a better place for these boys.

527
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 4: And we didn't know this was happening.

528
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 2: He sent the tape to Mike Shepard in San Diego

529
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 2: and said, I want you to listen to this. He said, well,

530
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 2: they're super green, but he said, there's something there. Then,

531
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 2: there's a chemistry there. There's a I don't want to

532
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 2: say magic, it feels weird to say about yourself, but

533
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 2: there was something there, he thought. So you moved from

534
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 2: where to Wear from Aniston, Alabama to San Diego, California.

535
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 5: That's quite the jump.

536
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 4: The leave of the century radio.

537
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, the media culture shock there.

538
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 1: That had to have happened the first remote, the last

539
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: remote we did in Aniston, I had taken a shoelace

540
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: out of my shoe and tied around the PVC pipe

541
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: we were using on the mic stand to hold the

542
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: marty and we're tying it up and.

543
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 4: Like, okay, we're serving the pizza.

544
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 1: First remote in San Diego, Tony and I start helping

545
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: break everything down at the end and everybody's like wha, wha,

546
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: what are you doing? And we're like, well, we're just

547
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 1: helping pack stuff up and they're like, no, you go

548
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: go away, don't do that.

549
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 4: Oh oh this is pretty cool. Yeah, it was definitely big.

550
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 3: Did you and I'm assuming the answers yes, But even

551
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 3: like the guests that would give you the time of day.

552
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: Oh oh yeah, people would.

553
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 2: The only thing we had going for us in Alabama

554
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 2: is that we became friends with Randy Owen, there's a

555
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 2: lead singer aout Labama, and went to his house a

556
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 2: lot and to his family.

557
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 4: I mean, we were friends, and Randy gave us a

558
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 4: little you know, a little whatever you want to call it.

559
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 2: Talk well, not not even, but he gave us I

560
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 2: can't think of the word of credibility, thank you. He

561
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 2: gave us credibility to say, okay, well, he likes these

562
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 2: guys for some reason.

563
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 1: He sent a letter without us knowing it to San Diego.

564
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 1: We told him, hey, we might end up in San Diego,

565
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: and he sent a letter to them, said, these are

566
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: great guys.

567
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 4: You need to sign them.

568
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 3: The opposite, they're terrible, just so that you'd stay with him.

569
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 2: I love not hire.

570
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 4: These guys as far away as possible for my family.

571
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:35,360
Speaker 4: Please hire them.

572
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 2: It was it was pretty wild, and so we would

573
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 2: get the NASCAR guys, we would get you know, Randy

574
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 2: or any friends of Randy. We have to go to

575
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 2: the June jam golf tournament, which is where we first met.

576
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 2: That's probably our first time meeting several country stars at once,

577
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 2: and it was all pretty wild.

578
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 8: Let's take a quick pause for a message from our sponsor, Wow,

579
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 8: and we're back on the Bobby Cast.

580
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 3: Speaking of Randy, obviously he spent a bunch of his

581
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,719
Speaker 3: career working close with Saint Jude, which we I think

582
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 3: we all do in this room. But I was listening

583
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 3: to you guys tell the story about Chris Cagel. So

584
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 3: it's the Saint Jude thing. Did I never knew Chris Cagle.

585
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 3: I missed Chris Kagel, but I heard he was kind

586
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 3: of a wild guy. Yeah, I'm trying to think.

587
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 4: Of Chris Gaggle. Couldn't get out of his own way, So.

588
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 3: And that was kind of the story and I'd let

589
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 3: you guys tell it, but he just would stop talking

590
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 3: on stage.

591
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: Oh that was a great story. Yeah, that was fantastic.

592
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: We were doing a radio thign Trace Atkins. You may

593
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 1: not know, we'll speak his mind.

594
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 3: I do know ya.

595
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: And it was just one of those days that you

596
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: want to tell this one. Do you remember the story

597
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: too about Kegel where he's doing that?

598
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 4: You know who I am?

599
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: The lady had the season. You tell this one, then

600
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: I'll tell the seizure.

601
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 2: Okay, So this, I mean, it's very simple. It's a

602
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 2: guitar poll. But Chris really wanted to be Garth. And

603
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 2: you know, Garth was a great storyteller, and Garth would

604
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 2: talk a lot and he would hold the room.

605
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 4: Chris didn't. I mean, he was good, he had chrisma,

606
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 4: but he wasn't Garth.

607
00:22:58,240 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 2: And he's up there and he's trying just leading into

608
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,959
Speaker 2: this song and it goes on and finally Trace just

609
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 2: leans over and goes, hey, man, just shut up and

610
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:09,199
Speaker 2: play the damn song and he immediately does. And then

611
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 2: the best part of that story though, is that later

612
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 2: in la it was overheard he's on the phone, so

613
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 2: I guess.

614
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 4: Was at the hotel. They were all checking.

615
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: They all rode one bus down from LA and did

616
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: our show in San Diego.

617
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 4: Wee time that the golf.

618
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 2: Tournament near the ACMs when it was in Los Angeles

619
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 2: and somebody wanted and they only heard Chris kgel side

620
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 2: of the conversations.

621
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 4: Well, then he yelled at me. He told me to

622
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,360
Speaker 4: play the damn song. It's quiet because he's seven feet tall.

623
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 4: That's why, you know.

624
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 2: It was just he was wlinding to somebody. But it

625
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 2: was just such a great story. I felt kind of

626
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 2: bad for him it. At the same time, Trace was right,

627
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 2: shut up and play the damn song.

628
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 3: At the same time was talking about it.

629
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 4: No out of the way we were.

630
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 1: He stayed at our hotel one time we were here

631
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: when we'd come out and he parked his vet or

632
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: whatever his car was right in front of the front

633
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: door and took the keys with him and the valet

634
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: and everybody's my ad. They're all like, we can't get

635
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: in here. So those are the kind of things he

636
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: did to get not get out of his own way. Yeah,

637
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 1: but uh, theory and I it's been so long and

638
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: I may it's at the Bridge bar during CRS. So

639
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: my memory may be foggy, but a lady had had

640
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: a seizure and everybody was jumped down trying to help her,

641
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: and Cagel jumps in and is like out of the way,

642
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 1: out of the way, pulls everybody back, and we're thinking

643
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: he must know exactly great, and he grabs her and

644
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:22,959
Speaker 1: looks at her as she's kind of coming to and says,

645
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: do you know who I am? I'm Chris Cagle. I

646
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: sing a song called Beautiful Day and we're all like,

647
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 1: this is this the time to promo?

648
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 2: Nobody knew what to do. We're all like, okay, that's

649
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 2: just one way to go. What's your favorite Garth story?

650
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 4: Oh? God, man, that guy.

651
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: When we were going to be jerks to him, that

652
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 1: was my favorite. Like we were like, we're not going

653
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: to fall for this. It was the Fresh Horses tour,

654
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 1: you know, he was for his first interview.

655
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 4: By the way, Arthur was my first interview. I was

00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 4: still working in Aniston.

00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: It was He sold out like three or four nights

660
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 1: at the Sports Arena and it was before country was

661
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,520

00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: we're not going to be We're not going to buy

665
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 1: into him working us. And we go to that backstage

666
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: and we've got like eight winners with us and we're

667
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 1: not in the usual place where you do the meet

668
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: and greets, and we realize we're in his dressing room

669
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,360
Speaker 1: and we walk in and I'm like, where's his no guy,

670
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: because you know, everybody's got the no guide to lot

671
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: of us move things along, and it's just Garth. And

672
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: he looks at me and goes, hey, you bought a

673
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: hat and I'm like, yeah, you know you got to

674
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: do it. And I got a book from my neighbor

675
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: here and he's oh okay, and he leads out the door,

676
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: comes back, hands me my money and says, oh, dude,

677
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: you play my records. I don't need your merch money.

678
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: And I'm like, look at him trying to work us.

679
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: And then and then it just kept. We decide to

680
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: take over things because it's been twenty minutes. He's calling

681
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 1: people on cell phones. He's talking to these you know,

682
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: listeners and hanging out with and just being over the

683
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 1: top getting them drinks, and I'm like, okay, we got

684
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:07,360
Speaker 1: to end this.

685
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 4: This has been too long.

686
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: Even we were feeling uncomfortable, like this is too nice,

687
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: and we're like Garth, we're sorry, We're gonna move on

688
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: out now everybody, and Garth slats sit down on the show.

689
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna start without me, don't worry, and we're

690
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: like okay, and then he does, I'll let Tony tell

691
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: the part that we're twenty something years later, we're still going.

692
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 4: Well, that's it.

693
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 2: I mean, that's the genius I think of him and

694
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 2: an artist like him, they do something that impacts your

695
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 2: life in a way that you tell the story every

696
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 2: chance you get. So, yeah, my wife at the time

697
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 2: had just had our third child, and so she wanted

698
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 2: to come to the show.

699
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 4: Couldn't come to the show.

00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 2: I mean, she was baby was brand new, she had

Speaker 2: just come home. And he's like, oh, man, so he said,

702
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 2: can I call her? Of course, So he calls my wife.

703
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 2: Sorry and he's on the phone. I have no idea

704
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 2: what's going to be said, and he's like, well, hey,

705
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 2: I'm sorry you couldn't make it tonight.

706
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 4: Man.

707
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 2: It says, could you if we set something up for

708
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 2: you backstage, if you could maybe get a I'm trying

709
00:26:58,119 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 2: to remem if if she had just had the baby,

710
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 2: or she hadn't had the baby, had the baby, Okay,

711
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 2: she had me. This is terrible memory of my own children.

712
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 2: The same way at the concept s Yes, I'm pretty sure. Yeah,

713
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 2: so she said, we'll send it a nextage. You can

714
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 2: come back and do whatever you need to do if

715
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 2: you want to get out of the crowd. She said, yes,

716
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 2: of course, he's great. So he told me, he said, hey,

717
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 2: you guys are going to come to the show tomorrow night.

718
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 2: We at that moment, his guy said, hey, we.

719
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 5: Got to go.

720
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 4: It's time to go. He start putting his headset on,

721
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 4: putting his head set on, and he does not speak

722
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 4: really to anyone else. We walk with him to he said,

723
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:30,959
Speaker 4: walk with me to the stage. We walk into the stage.

724
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 2: He walks up on the stage and starts the show,

725
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 2: and I'm like, that's the last all over here about that.

726
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 4: I mean, it was a nice gesture. But next day

727
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 4: we do the show.

728
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 2: At ten oh one, my phone rings and it's the

729
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 2: guy and he said, hey, I'm calling on behf of Garth,

730
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 2: and he said, we were supposed to set this up.

731
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 2: Yeahda YadA YadA, And I said okay. And we go

732
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 2: to the show that night and somewhere there's a picture

733
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 2: of my ex wife standing. He's holding the towel. He's

734
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 2: about to jump in the shower, but he gets a

735
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 2: picture with her, and he sends a guy basically into

736
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 2: the audience with us. We have really great seats and

737
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 2: he stands back about three rows and if she fidgeted

738
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 2: or he popped down, okay, did everything all right?

739
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,439
Speaker 4: You want to go backstage? You want? I mean he

740
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 4: was just there as her you know, her Man Friday

741
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:12,120
Speaker 4: or whatever.

742
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 2: It was crazy, and you know, it's just one of

743
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 2: those above and beyond moments. Again, what artist says, hey,

744
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 2: we'll set something up. You can go backstage and hang

745
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 2: out if it gets too much to be in the crowd.

746
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 2: It was a great moment, and our plan to not

747
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 2: fall get them to his charms stories did not work.

748
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 3: He's the most consistent, extremely gracious and kind major artists

749
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 3: that I've ever met. When I keep waiting for him

750
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 3: not to be exactly because it doesn't seem you can't

751
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 3: believe it. You can't and at this point, I've given

752
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,719
Speaker 3: up on doubting him, probably the same way you have,

753
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 3: because it's been so consistent. And some people will say

754
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 3: to me, and it can be Guarth or it could

755
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 3: be Taylor or whomever. When they have really great people

756
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 3: that work around them too, they're like, well, but they

757
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 3: hire good people. And my response is, but they have

758
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 3: to hire good people to do and like represent their sensibilities, right,

759
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 3: You shouldn't punish people because they're also hiring great people

760
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 3: to make sure that things are followed. And so Garth

761
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 3: was so cool. It was the same way. I just

762
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 3: kept waiting for him to crack, and now he's just

763
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 3: not gonna crack.

764
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 4: I think what blew me away.

765
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 2: Going back to him being my first interview, it was

766
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 2: my first day I just got and moved to afternoons

767
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 2: in this country station. It was a pretty big deal

768
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 2: for me because I was a still kid and he

769
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 2: comes in, Hey, there's new guys coming in.

770
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 4: He's got a song out. You gonna interview?

771
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 2: And I was like, I'm just my first shift on afternoons.

772
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 2: I'm already nervous. Now I gotta interview somebody I've never

773
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 2: even done an interview. Okay, and he.

774
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 4: Gives me the press pack and Garth Brooks and I

775
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 4: read through it. I'm like, Okay.

776
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 2: He comes in, he's you wouldn't know the difference, same guy,

777
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 2: same way. He sang the John Deere jingle that he

778
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 2: that he's saying back in the day when he was

779
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 2: still singing jingles and doing that kind of stuff.

780
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 4: He was kind.

781
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 2: And then he had that show that there's a place

782
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 2: called the Alabama Show Palace and it was a pretty

783
00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 2: big place for that small town. It held like a

784
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 2: thousand pe people and that night, you know, they thought

785
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 2: it was gonna be big.

786
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 4: And he's told this story on the Tonight Show. Another place.

787
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 4: He goes, man, we were so rocking.

788
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 2: We were this is gonna be huge, guys, and said

789
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 2: we ran out on the stage and we opened it

790
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 2: up and there were seven people in the end, nobody

791
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 2: came because nobody knew who he was.

792
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 4: And I was there.

793
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 2: I was one of them, and I was always proud to

794
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 2: be one of the Anniston seven, which is what he

795
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 2: calls us. But then, you know, we interviewed him in

796
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 2: San Diego years later after he blew up and I

797
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 2: told him, I said, man, said, you were my first interview,

798
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 2: and I have to get pay you with the compliment

799
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 2: that you are as kind and generous with your time

800
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 2: now when you are a superstar as you were when

801
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 2: you were really.

802
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 4: Nobody, you were just starting. I said, it's pretty amazing.

803
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 3: Chris, who was your first interview?

804
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 4: First interview? Wow, I couldn't tell you.

805
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of It's probably with us, probably

806
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: Randy o One.

807
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 4: Maybe we hung up on him the first time he called.

808
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like you don't know who you lost your

809
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 3: virginity to right now. You understand that right like you

810
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 3: should know that's.

811
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 4: That's dicey with me too. Just to be completely frank,

812
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 4: he was an elementary school. You can't expect him to

813
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 4: remember that bar exackly.

814
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 3: Darius was mine. I was working in the pop station

815
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 3: and I interviewed him with a little handheld. I was

816
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 3: nervous as crap. I was seventeen, eighteen years old at

817
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 3: Magic Springs. And it's pretty cool because our careers have

818
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 3: kind of paralleled each other, and Darius and I are

819
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 3: still super cool, and but I just remember being so

820
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 3: nervous and him being like, hey, I got you good,

821
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 3: and whod He was huge at the time. Whod he

822
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 3: was massive.

823
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 4: At least another one. He's always just excellent.

824
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's great.

825
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 4: I always said I wanted to be. He's always happy.

826
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: Like I went through a phase in my life where

827
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: I just was angry at everybody, and then I decided,

828
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: you know, like I'm just going to change that I

829
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: want to be. And I would say, I want to

830
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: be more like Darius because I never see him not

831
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 1: smiling except for his mug SHOT's right, that's the one.

832
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 4: Other than that. And I always smiled, always happy. I

833
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 4: can't blame him for that.

834
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 3: My new favorite Darius story that is between us, Like

835
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 3: it's between like Darius and I in the same place.

836
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 3: I was doing stand up and Darius had come to

837
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 3: my show in Florida, and I saw him for like

838
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 3: five seconds before the show, because he got there during

839
00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 3: the opening act and I was about to go out

840
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 3: into the and he's like, I'm here. And I wasn't

841
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 3: surprised he showed up, but I was surprisedly showed up,

842
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 3: you know, yeah, because.

843
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 4: That's cool, it's a big deal.

844
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 3: Yes, So Darius comes up and I don't know where

845
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 3: he is, and about five minutes in, I'm into my

846
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 3: pretty good material that I know is going to work,

847
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 3: and I can hear it, like in the crowd laughing,

848
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 3: so where I can identify. And every time I told

849
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 3: a joke, I would hear Darius laugh. And there was

850
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 3: one point I told a joke and I didn't hear it,

851
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 3: and I was like, everybody stop, Darius, and I think

852
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 3: that joke is funny. Laughs so loud and cut through

853
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 3: that I knew exactly where he was, and also all

854
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 3: night knew what he did not think was funny because

855
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 3: he did not laugh at those jokes.

856
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: On our show one time and we spliced sixty seconds

857
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,959
Speaker 1: of him laughing that's all, and we would have an

858
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,479
Speaker 1: intro on it like take time now to lighten up

859
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: and just play it because you can't not laugh along

860
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: with his laugh is infectious.

861
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 3: Hey, who was the first interview you did?

Speaker 6: comes up says William can't do it, but we have

878
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 6: the local DJ guy, Bobby Bones if you want him,

879
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 6: Like sure, whatever, I mean, I'm not going to go

880
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 6: back to the station without an interview.

881
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 5: So I interviewed Bobby. That was how we first met

882
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 5: fell in love.

883
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 4: I was going to.

884
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: Say, what a great story. Yeah, I'll be able to say, like,

885
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: y'all William Hung. William Hung had shown up exactly your career.

886
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 5: William Hung.

887
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 3: He was actually kind of tough. Yeah, like he didn't

888
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 3: want to talk to anybody, is you know.

889
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 5: Because he was an embarrassed or something. I don't know.

890
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 4: I don't know.

891
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 3: I think he was having his moment.

892
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 5: Where he was playing the carpet clean.

893
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 4: Moment.

894
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 3: I logically can see why that should he shouldn't have

895
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 3: thought that way, but I think he was like at

896
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 3: the peak of his fame, and so I think he

897
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,239
Speaker 3: was like too cool. For a minute, I think he

898
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 3: was too cool. You guys go to San Diego. How

899
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 3: long were you on together in San Diego?

900
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 4: Ninety three to two and fifteen years? Fifteen years? I think, well,

901
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 4: that last year was just paid out.

902
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 3: You got paid for a whole year.

903
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 4: Oh more than that. It was the craziest thing.

904
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,959
Speaker 1: We won't go into the radio company that did it,

905
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: but before it was we were making really good money.

906
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: That they had built a station across the street for us,

907
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 1: and we went across the street and then halfway through it,

908
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: we were number one, beating our old station that had

909
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:40,919
Speaker 1: never been beaten before.

910
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 3: Okay, let me let me for those who don't know,

911
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 3: so across the street means a rival. So you were

912
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 3: working at a different station and Clair Channel built a

913
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 3: station and then they said, hey, come, so they hired

914
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:49,959
Speaker 3: you away from your old station.

915
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 1: Yes, got it, And we were crushing like they put

916
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: a ridiculous bonus in if you could beat your old

917
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 1: station because it was always number one, and we it

918
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: in the first book and everybody was losing their mind.

919
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,439
Speaker 4: And then a new Jane to clarified one quick thing.

920
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 2: They didn't hire us away like we just went for

921
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 2: more money. There's a story behind it. We wanted to

922
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 2: stay at casom oh if we were there for ten years.

923
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 3: We'ning aig contract negotiation and you picked them.

924
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 2: It was a big contract negotiation. The contract had been

925
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 2: negotiated in principle, we just hadn't signed the contract yet.

926
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 4: Everything was done. They flowers for our wives. It was great.

927
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 2: And then the VP at the at that time, it

928
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 2: was an insurance company that owned Caso, Lincoln Financial, she

929
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 2: saw it the deal and she said, what what are

930
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 2: we doing. We're not paying these guys this money. And

931
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:33,359
Speaker 2: they're like, yes, we are. This is what the market

932
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 2: will bear, this is what the top shows are making.

933
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 2: She says, well, we've never paid a show this much

934
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 2: and we're not doing that. So she renegged on the deal.

935
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: Wow, she next the deal and then she sent word

936
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 1: down when they'll either take it what they're doing for

937
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: another year, one year contract so we can find someone cheaper,

938
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: or they can go to another market and we'll tell

939
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 1: everybody they ditched for more money.

940
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 2: And that was the Kaso and way. Because there were

941
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 2: some big names that came out of there. Jack Diamond

942
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 2: back in the day, Lisa Dent who went to Chicago

943
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 2: had great success. It was a station where if you left,

944
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:00,720
Speaker 2: if you were successful on the left, you left the city.

945
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,479
Speaker 2: Nobody had ever stayed because there was no country station

946
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 2: who would take him on ever. So this was right

947
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 2: before the holidays. It was weird because we always took

948
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 2: two weeks off at the end of the year and

949
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 2: we're packing up our stuff. But then we basically called

950
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 2: the buddy of ours and said, hey, can you come

951
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 2: help us get this out.

952
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 4: We're going to.

953
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 2: Empty out the office because we knew when we left

954
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 2: we were leaving for good. And our agent called the

955
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 2: guy's a clear channel and said, hey, would you be

956
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 2: interested in Tony and Chris And they were like, absolutely,

957
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 2: but they'll never leave k soom I mean, they're killing

958
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:27,879
Speaker 2: it over there, and he was a funny.

959
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 4: Story and he told them what happened. They said.

960
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 2: The guy was like, give me a couple of days

961
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:32,800
Speaker 2: because now we're in the holidays.

962
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 4: Books were closed. Obviously, long story.

963
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:39,399
Speaker 2: Short, it got done and when we left KSN before

964
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 2: Christmas two weeks before, came back in January to a

965
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 2: brand new radio station that had been built for us.

966
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 3: Was that a super stressful, intense time for you?

967
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:46,359
Speaker 1: Guys.

968
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 3: Yes, that you talk about it now, it's like how

969
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 3: hum But really at the time, it was like, oh

970
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 3: my god, horrible. Yeah, I'm like, what am I going

971
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 3: to do?

972
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 4: I've got I got kids, we've got a house.

973
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:55,839
Speaker 1: Like even though the other station you loved everybody at

974
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: the other station, and then you're coming on and it

975
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 1: was just weird and like jealous, there's people in our

976
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: seats and across the street.

977
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 3: How quickly did they hire someone new?

978
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 4: Pretty quick? They had to. Actually, I take that back,

979
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 4: like a year.

980
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 2: They put in like a mid the midday guy and somebody,

981
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 2: and they were on there for that, only it was a.

982
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 3: Year and they're dead man walking. It almost doesn't matter

983
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 3: who it is.

984
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, they knew well they and the nice thing about

985
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 2: to their credit, they weren't hiring them to do the

986
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 2: morning show and then get rid of them when they

987
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 2: were done. The guy stayed on with the company for

988
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 2: a while doing midday the things. But you know, they

989
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:25,879
Speaker 2: did what they had to do, and then they hired

990
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 2: a show that was, in my opinion, not awesome. But

991
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 2: it's tough because they're putting people together who weren't already

992
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 2: a show, and that's that's risky.

993
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:33,760
Speaker 3: What was it like at the new place?

994
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,320
Speaker 1: Initially it was great and initially well with the GM

995
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 1: when he hired us, he goes, look, our afternoon guy

996
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: is a good kid. He's the PD. Will you guys

997
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 1: kind of train him how to be a PD?

998
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 3: And did you know how to be a PD? Huh?

999
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 3: Did you guys know how to be a PD? Well?

1000
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 4: I think we knew. We knew how to be ks

1001
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 4: the best. Yeah, we knew how to be ks.

1002
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: And so there we would say, like, the first thing

1003
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:56,919
Speaker 1: they're going to do is say call all the record

1004
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: labels and say if you do anything with them, we're

1005
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 1: not going to play the records. So we said, let's

1006
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 1: get the PD or the music director at k and

1007
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 1: i X to be our music director also, so that

1008
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: takes away that leverage.

1009
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 4: And you know, so we were little things like that.

1010
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 4: It was a brand new station.

1011
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 2: We weren't reporting, but Anix was and so it was

1012
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 2: Gwynn Foster so and so that that held that they

1013
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 2: couldn't say, well, we won't play it anymore.

1014
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 4: So well neither were Knix.

1015
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: So we we crushed them and we're I mean, it

1016
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: was just rocking and it was great. And then the

1017
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 1: new GM come in, and the new GM the the

1018
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 1: Afternoon Jock was not the PD was not smart.

1019
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:36,879
Speaker 3: How long was your turn? Your new contract for five years? Year?

1020
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 1: And when the new GM come in, the GM basically

1021
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: said I don't need a morning show's input.

1022
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 4: I've got a PD right here. I didn't believe in

1023
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 4: country either, So it was we were out of the.

1024
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 3: Gate fundamentally, just a bad fit.

1025
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then as soon as that happened, we we

1026
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: got cut out of the loop on everything, and the

1027
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,919
Speaker 1: decision started being weird. Like I remember one day being

1028
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: at CMA the roundtable thing, and lady walked up and goes, boy,

1029
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 1: it's a tough day for you guys, and we're like what,

1030
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 1: And she goes the PD's calling all the regionals or

1031
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: the record reps and telling them that we don't need

1032
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: you anymore because they decided they're going to start leaning

1033
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: more old Country.

1034
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 4: We're like what.

1035
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 1: So we had to call and get that stopped, and

1036
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: then like six weeks later, without telling anybody, they flipped

1037
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 1: it to New Country.

1038
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 4: It was just weird.

1039
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: But anyhow, when we were saying the last year we

1040
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: just got paid out, we were calling our agent, and

1041
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 1: our agent finally just said. One day he goes, guys, Paul,

1042
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: you know Paul I do, and he goes, guys, you're

1043
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: trying to win and you will not win. They want

1044
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 1: you gone, and we're like, well, what.

1045
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 4: Do we do?

1046
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 1: And so we went and said, if you don't want

1047
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: us here, let us out, and they were like, oh, no,

1048
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,399
Speaker 1: we want you here, but we need you to sign this.

1049
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: And it was a list of you will not crazy

1050
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 1: ask stuff. You will not talk more than twenty seconds

1051
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: of break. You will never say your name, you will

1052
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: run no imaging with your name.

1053
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 2: If traffic's more than sixty seconds out of this window.

1054
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:55,800
Speaker 2: I mean, all these crazy reasons.

1055
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 3: They can find out where was this coming from? Like

1056
00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 3: what you actually have some clarity from it now because

1057
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 3: you're far removed. But really, what was happening? What was

1058
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 3: the goal in.

1059
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: Well, we found out because of an email. Basically they

1060
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 1: wanted to save the money.

1061
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 2: Did they were paying you guys the GM They were

1062
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 2: trying to get us for cause because it was an

1063
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 2: ironclad contract, and.

1064
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 3: That's why they were giving you all these stipulations. They

1065
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 3: were ready for you to break one because they were

1066
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 3: so hard to maintain.

1067
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 4: Just take the checks in our building to chat.

1068
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 1: Remember when the craze happened where everybody was buying everybody. Yes,

1069
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: we had Jeff and jer Dave Shelley, and Chainsaw us AJ.

1070
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: The four biggest morning shows in San Diego were all

1071
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 1: in one hallway and that was a lot of money,

1072
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: a lot of money back then. And they just the

1073
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 1: new GM come in and goes, I don't want that,

1074
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 1: Like they replaced our show when we left with two

1075
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: part timers who at one of which had never been

1076
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 1: in a radio station six weeks before.

1077
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 2: It's kind of like when George gets fired from the

1078
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 2: Yankees and they're like, who's doing your job now?

1079
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 4: An intern? He comes in on Mondays, you know, it's

1080
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 4: like out hurt.

1081
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 3: So that GM came in with a completely different agenda

1082
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 3: and he was trying to put the pieces together to

1083
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 3: eliminate a lot of cash being paid out to talent.

1084
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 3: Didn't believe in talent basically.

1085
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it was it was probably the beginning

1086
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 2: of the end for talent in San Diego anyway at

1087
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 2: that time.

1088
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 1: So for a year we just our agent just said

1089
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: just go in, get do the weather, the calls, and

1090
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,320
Speaker 1: play solitaire all morning and cash those checks.

1091
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 2: So in the meantime, all work to get you out

1092
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 2: of this, and he eventually did. And they had to

1093
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 2: pass eighteen months to do nothing, which was great.

1094
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 7: The Bobby Cast will be right back. This is the

1095
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:35,760
Speaker 7: Bobby Cast.

1096
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 3: So wait, was the do nothing the solitaire? And I

1097
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 3: consider waking up in the morning something at the hours

1098
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 3: we have to wake up.

1099
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 4: Well, we left the building like they take us out

1100
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 4: for eighteen months, and we.

1101
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 3: Just slept in for eighteen months to got paid.

1102
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1103
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 2: And then that time that was when we first started,

1104
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,839
Speaker 2: you know, our little syndication idea. We're like, oh, because

1105
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 2: we would have to do it for country, because country hadn't

1106
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 2: been done at that time. Sure you didn't exist at

1107
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 2: that point.

1108
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 4: As far as we were, you cracked the code. We

1109
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 4: were never able to do that. Yeah, yeah, but anyway,

1110
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 4: so it was it was an interesting time, stressful.

1111
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 3: But the eighteen months even for like that, as amazing

1112
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 3: as it sounds, to get paid and not work, I

1113
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 3: would not like that.

1114
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 1: Well, that's why it took us that long to get

1115
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 1: the syndication set up. We were traveling the country because

1116
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 1: everybody we talked to at that time said syndication won't

1117
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 1: work in country. And I kept saying, I feel like

1118
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: that's a cop out from pds that are scared for

1119
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 1: their job, because it's like, oh, it won't work in country.

1120
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: It's like, I don't know people that wake up and

1121
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 1: go I'll listen to Howard Stern because it's rock, but

1122
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 1: I will not listen to a country DJ that's syndicated.

1123
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 4: I just don't. It's funny.

1124
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 2: Mike mcvay's most recent an article about how to win

1125
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 2: with syndication, and I just was reading the comment I

1126
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 2: didn't read the article because I don't care.

1127
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 5: I love it.

1128
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 2: I was reading the comments because I always I'm speaking honest, man.

1129
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 2: But I'm reading the comments because I'm always curious to

1130
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 2: see how people and I'm watching people quote things that

1131
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,919
Speaker 2: we said about syndication ten years ago. I'm like, where

1132
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 2: were you guys when we needed we have We had

1133
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 2: this idea, man, But it was funny, Oh, if you

1134
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:58,399
Speaker 2: do this and you do this, And I was like, yeah,

1135
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 2: that's true, that's accurate. They knew a lot about it

1136
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 2: because they all had lived it on one side or

1137
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:03,720
Speaker 2: the other of that world.

1138
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 3: Did you when you guys were getting paid, because again,

1139
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 3: I would be so stressed out and again I think

1140
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,839
Speaker 3: on the surface, like, well, eighteen months, you get paid,

1141
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 3: but you guys are working building something else while you're

1142
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 3: getting paid. But I would just feel like I'm looking

1143
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 3: at a clock ticking. It was.

1144
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 2: It was very much like that, And when you got

1145
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 2: down to the end of the eighteen months, it still

1146
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 2: took longer.

1147
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 4: After that.

1148
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 2: It wasn't like we timed it out perfectly. Hey, all right,

1149
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 2: this is great.

1150
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:26,479
Speaker 4: You know it was. I had a wife and three kids.

1151
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 2: Our marriage was already on the rock, so I was

1152
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 2: so stressed out by my personal life being such a mess,

1153
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 2: and then we're trying to figure out now we got

1154
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 2: to move to Nashville. Just going to Nashville for a

1155
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 2: week to find a place to live was the greatest

1156
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 2: time in my life.

1157
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 4: I get out of that for a second.

1158
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 2: And I, you know, not to get all into this,

1159
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 2: but I should have told her then, I said we

1160
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 2: shouldn't do this.

1161
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 4: I should have ended it before we moved to Nashville,

1162
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 4: because then it just got worse.

1163
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 3: Did you guys ever think about splitting up you two us. No,

1164
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 3: it was never a conversation, never really had an argument.

1165
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 1: It's what I think it's because I know this sounds crazy,

1166
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,839
Speaker 1: but I swear when we decided to put the tape together,

1167
00:43:57,880 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 1: we said we're going to be fifty to fifty partners

1168
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: because we knew other morning shows and it was always like, well,

1169
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: he makes three thousand dollars more year because he runs

1170
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: the board and you know, or he does production or whatever.

1171
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 1: And we were like, we're gonna be if they want

1172
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 1: just you because I have more of an accent, because

1173
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 1: back then they were like Tony sounds so he you know,

1174
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: he doesn't have the accent like the Hicco.

1175
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 4: Which is that just didn't sound like I was born

1176
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:18,400
Speaker 4: and raised in Alabama.

1177
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 1: But we were like, it doesn't matter. You pay one

1178
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,800
Speaker 1: of us, you pay both of us. And we fought

1179
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: for that.

1180
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 4: We had DJ.

1181
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 1: I mean, one of our pds told us he just goes.

1182
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 1: I'm told to drive a wedge between you two so

1183
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 1: I can get you for separate remotes, and we were like,

1184
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:32,760
Speaker 1: that's not fine, as long as.

1185
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:33,360
Speaker 4: We both get paid.

1186
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:35,319
Speaker 3: It's had the cast of friends, man, I like that,

1187
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 3: just not a million bucks in episodes.

1188
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:39,880
Speaker 2: It was funny because we had he had started as

1189
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:41,359
Speaker 2: an intern for us, and then he was a promo

1190
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 2: sist and he's very successful now in Pensacola.

1191
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 4: I don't even know what name he goes. He's got

1192
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 4: so many different names.

1193
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 2: Brent Lane, Brent Lane, I thinks is on your name

1194
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 2: and super nice guy and he worked really hard and

1195
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 2: he has He has developed a very successful show. He

1196
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 2: married Pensacola and made it and he's killing it. But

1197
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 2: he called us when we were still in San Diego.

1198
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 2: I said, gonna ask you guys some advice. Is what

1199
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:04,399
Speaker 2: do you do when you're having when you fight about something?

1200
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 2: My new partner were not getting along, and I was like, honestly, man,

1201
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:09,840
Speaker 2: I would love to give you some great nugget that

1202
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 2: you could Ah, he fixed everything. I don't know, because

1203
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 2: we've never had a fight. We just it's never gotten

1204
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 2: to that point. That's not to say we've never disagreed.

1205
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:18,800
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, we've.

1206
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,280
Speaker 1: Disagreed, and ultimately we both know that we're so evil

1207
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 1: that study and it would.

1208
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 4: End horribly if we ever got in a fight.

1209
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:27,839
Speaker 2: So it's just it's always been one of those things

1210
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,400
Speaker 2: where if he's passionate about something that I wasn't, I

1211
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 2: was like, I don't think this is great, but he's

1212
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,760
Speaker 2: clearly passionate. When we did it said if it works, great,

1213
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 2: Hey I was wrong. If it doesn't work, I get

1214
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,840
Speaker 2: to go ha exactly, and vice versa. And then and

1215
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 2: when things got you know, when things got hard in

1216
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 2: San Diego, we knew we weren't done yet. We still

1217
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:46,879
Speaker 2: had things we wanted to do. We felt we still

1218
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 2: had something to give. So it was never even a

1219
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:51,399
Speaker 2: question of ending it at that point. And even when

1220
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 2: we i mean we retired for seventeen days, you know,

1221
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 2: six years ago after we hit twenty five years. We've

1222
00:45:57,520 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 2: been doing syndication for seven or eight years, and we're.

1223
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 4: Like, it wasn't fun for us.

1224
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 1: We just weren't having fills, you know, the you know,

1225
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 1: the pds that set it and forget it.

1226
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:06,879
Speaker 4: That's all we had.

1227
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 1: All of our stations were you haven't asked for liners in.

1228
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:11,399
Speaker 4: Over a year.

1229
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 2: We still deal with that familiar Yes, so they would

1230
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:16,360
Speaker 2: complain about the numbers, but you're not doing anything.

1231
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:18,359
Speaker 4: This is a partnership. You're supposed to be working too.

1232
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:20,839
Speaker 2: So anyway, we just said, this seems like a good

1233
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 2: time maybe to stop this and we'll see what happens next.

1234
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 2: We both had some things we wanted to do and

1235
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:26,720
Speaker 2: we did. And then we got that call from Noxville,

1236
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 2: which I wish we had never taken it.

1237
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 3: I wish we had never taken That was not a

1238
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 3: good situation.

1239
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 2: It was horrible. I don't want to sound negative. I

1240
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:34,360
Speaker 2: don't sound like everything we had. Let me tell you

1241
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 2: another thing that sucks about radio. It's not like that

1242
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,319
Speaker 2: at all. We have an incredible to the negative our yeah, no,

1243
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 2: incredible career, and we have ninety percent awesome, fun stories

1244
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 2: that we could tell over and over again, and then

1245
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:45,879
Speaker 2: there's that ten percent. But it was such that ten

1246
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 2: percent is so horribly bad it doesn't leave a little mark.

1247
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:49,399
Speaker 4: On your soul.

1248
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 3: What happened in Oxville. I remember you guys going to

1249
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 3: Knoxville and and you know, basing from we were number

1250
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 3: one every book.

1251
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we came in and they thought it

1252
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 1: was going to drop because we thought it would have

1253
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 1: dropped because the morning show before us had in there

1254
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 1: for twenty years, legendary station.

1255
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 2: It was funny because it was the second time we

1256
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 2: took over for a show that had been there a

1257
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 2: long time.

1258
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:10,760
Speaker 1: We did going Frankly, the market manager there is insane,

1259
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 1: and I mean allegedly, yeah, allegedly allegedly told us racist statements.

1260
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 1: I mean, just not a good person.

1261
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:21,840
Speaker 2: The building is full of bad people. There's a few gems,

1262
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 2: but it's mostly we.

1263
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 4: Got called into his office one day.

1264
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:26,439
Speaker 1: Also, they were delusional a little bit over there because

1265
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:31,240
Speaker 1: they still believe it's nineteen eighty five, and they I swear.

1266
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 1: One day I got called into a meeting, a creative

1267
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 1: meeting for the bar. There. There's twenty people in this meeting,

1268
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: and I'm going around the room going twenty bucks an hour,

1269
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 1: thirty bucks an hour, ten bucks an hour. You know,

1270
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 1: this is a three thousand dollars meeting, and they were

1271
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 1: trying to Basically, they settled on an American Idol version

1272
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 1: for this Cotton Eye Joe, which is a bar, and

1273
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 1: they want it to be like a ten week promotion.

1274
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, is there enough talent in Knoxville for a

1275
00:47:55,040 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 1: ten week talent search? And the market manager goes us,

1276
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 1: when Nashville hears the WIVK is doing this, the bands

1277
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 1: and artists and labels are going to be driving bands

1278
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: over here for this, And I said for three hundred

1279
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:11,720
Speaker 1: dollars in a YETI cooler.

1280
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 4: He was serious.

1281
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 1: I mean he meant that, but yeah, it was It

1282
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 1: was not good. We got called into the office the

1283
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 1: second week there and he played a sweeper and we

1284
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:25,920
Speaker 1: had taken one of the first callers that called in

1285
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 1: and said, you guys are really funny, and he goes,

1286
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 1: we didn't get that off the air.

1287
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:31,840
Speaker 4: We're like wine. He goes, that's disrespectful to the previous

1288
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:32,399
Speaker 4: morning show.

1289
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 3: Oh wow, it was crazy. Do you have a relationship

1290
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 3: with the previous morning show? Why was He said that

1291
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,239
Speaker 3: you just can't change anything. Everything has to be right.

1292
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:40,800
Speaker 2: I've never seen a building more afraid of change. And

1293
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 2: when we were even in San Diego years ago, we'd

1294
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 2: see them always showup number one of the ratings with

1295
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 2: these crazy numbers and we're like, man, that must be

1296
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:50,360
Speaker 2: a killer radio station. And we realized no. Once we

1297
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 2: got there, we heard the stories. The dude who owned

1298
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 2: it back then just bought everybody off. He just if

1299
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 2: you tried to go up against him, he just paid

1300
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 2: you money not to. So they were the only game

1301
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 2: in town. So that's how they built those numbers. And

1302
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:03,359
Speaker 2: then they wanted to live off those numbers and live

1303
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 2: off that legacy in current times and it just you

1304
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 2: can't do that. But they get away with it to

1305
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:12,240
Speaker 2: a point because it's not a super competitive market.

1306
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:13,359
Speaker 3: You know, how long were you there?

1307
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:14,840
Speaker 4: Five horrible years?

1308
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 5: Five years?

1309
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1310
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 3: Wow, I didn't realize it was that long.

1311
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, five years of my life. I'll never get back.

1312
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 3: Walk me through. What time do you wake up? Now?

1313
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 3: Walk me through a day for you guys. Now, I'm

1314
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 3: a night though. I mean, I am me too, man,

1315
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 3: I am completely me too, And I.

1316
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 4: Get to live that life now. It was fantastic. So

1317
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 4: I go to bed midnight or one during the weeks.

1318
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 3: That's awesome, it is.

1319
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:36,279
Speaker 4: It kicks ass. I'm like, I'm finally getting to be

1320
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:36,960
Speaker 4: my true self.

1321
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 1: It took me a while to get adjusted to not

1322
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:42,400
Speaker 1: going to bed at eight o'clock or whatever, get up

1323
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:43,760
Speaker 1: at two in the morning or three in the morning.

1324
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 1: But I go to bed about eleven eleven thirty now

1325
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 1: and get up at six in the morning to a workout,

00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:52,200
Speaker 1: get some stuff done. It's I gotta say, I look younger,

1327
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:55,399
Speaker 1: I feel younger. It's amazing what rest will do for you.

1328
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, sleep is nice. Yeah. My wife works.

1329
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 2: She's in a corporate world as a senior payroll manager

00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 2: for Phillips North America. Excuse me, So she has a

1331
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:07,680

1332
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 2: and Noman for many years before that, but she worked

1333
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 2: remotely for them because she came from San Francisco to

00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:15,840
Speaker 2: She's you know, she's kind of she's been spoiled by that.

1337
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 2: She used to go in the office a couple of

1338
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 2: days a week now and it's like, oh man, but

1339
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 2: I'm home. I get up, you know, I usually get

1340
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:22,239
Speaker 2: it when she gets up because we have three dogs

1341
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 2: and we have some backyard chickens, and everything's got to

1342
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 2: be taken care of, you know.

1343
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 4: So I'm the house husband right now.

1344
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 3: Just do you guys live close to here?

1345
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:30,120

1346
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:31,440
Speaker 4: in East Nashville right now, do but I used to

1347
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:32,919
Speaker 4: live right over the old side. Agree.

1348
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:34,920
Speaker 3: He looks like an East Nashville guy does.

1349
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 5: It's a little hipsterside there.

1350
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 3: Even when I watch him on TikTok this Billboard song

1351
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 3: number one, and his hair is like perfectly like it's.

1352
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 4: Like this crazy. My my haircut was scheduled for tomorrow

1353
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 4: and I was like, ah, but.

1354
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:52,440
Speaker 3: It's like the hipster blonde grayish cool color. It's awesome.

1355
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 1: Do you find that you get this too, because it

1356
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 1: annoys me because he puts all this work into it,

1357
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:58,880
Speaker 1: and I'll look at the comments in the first comment

1358
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 1: is just to dig a him, like who's the creep

1359
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 1: with the hair?

1360
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 2: The comments on kind of my favorite that these are

1361
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 2: funny though, because I'm like, this person is clearly just

1362
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 2: trying to be an asshole, and I'm down with that

1363
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 2: because I'm the same way.

1364
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 4: But I'm not a troll.

1365
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:15,400
Speaker 3: You know, you guys, when you are doing content, now,

1366
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 3: how often do you get together to do that?

1367
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:20,240
Speaker 1: It depends really, right, we wed the story the radio

1368
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 1: stories thing we're doing now, we get together about once

1369
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:24,840
Speaker 1: a month and knock out just a bunch of stories

1370
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:27,439
Speaker 1: and then he does his that music minute.

1371
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:29,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, that work is kind of like we scheduled our

1372
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 4: radio staff.

1373
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 2: We knew if we're going to be doing this, let's

1374
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 2: get as much of that part done early, and then

1375
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:36,399
Speaker 2: the contents just sitting there and we can go back

1376
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 2: and so we mean, I think we record thirty.

1377
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 4: Or forty of those radio stories at a time. Really,

1378
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:41,319
Speaker 4: I take them home and then I.

1379
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 2: Go I just and it's they're super easy to add it.

1380
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:44,279
Speaker 2: I put them together and stick them.

1381
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 1: Up and we set there and go, well, we don't

1382
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:47,319
Speaker 1: have any stories, and then we'll either look through some

1383
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 1: old archives of interviews and go, oh, remember what we

1384
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:52,399
Speaker 1: learned from that or what happened there. And then now

1385
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 1: we got people calling us going, hey, have you told

1386
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:56,839
Speaker 1: the Oh no, I forgot about that.

1387
00:51:56,960 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they're just it's you know, thirty years

1388
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:00,400
Speaker 2: is a long time, a lot of stories, and we

1389
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:02,400
Speaker 2: drank a lot heavier back than we do now. So

1390
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 2: some of the stories you have to have somebody remind

1391
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 2: you that you did something and go, oh, that was

1392
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 2: pretty funny. I wish I remembered it.

1393
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 3: Do you think that you have you thought about doing

1394
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 3: like a long form podcast?

1395
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 2: When we started doing the digital stuff, we we began

1396
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:18,400
Speaker 2: that way, and we did it exclusively on videos. We

1397
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:20,239
Speaker 2: went we wanted to make YouTube kind of our thing,

Speaker 1: you need any help, you just call. And I was like, okay.

1553
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:52,880
Speaker 1: So I went back and said I'm gonna.

1554
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:54,919
Speaker 3: Try it, and so spell his name.

1555
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 1: Styles, I'm from Alabama. You're asking me to spell yes,

1556
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 1: that's why did the paper writing that come through.

1557
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 4: You're not supposed to ask him to spell anything anything. Education.

1558
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:07,920
Speaker 4: That's part of the deal. S T. Y l e Yes.

1559
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:10,360
Speaker 5: The last name is weird though it's h a u

1560
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:11,640
Speaker 5: r y.

1561
00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:15,400
Speaker 3: So it's just styles And how long have you been doing that?

1562
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:16,920
Speaker 4: About two years?

1563
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 3: And he's a songwriter as an artist too.

1564
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:23,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, he wrote country on Luke Bryant. But he's got

1565
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 1: two Tim grawl holds right now. A Blake Shelton hold,

1566
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:27,720
Speaker 1: a John Party hold. We feel he's about to pop

1567
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:28,720
Speaker 1: and we haven't.

1568
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 3: That's all the writing, the published, yeah, but what about

1569
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:31,440
Speaker 3: the singing.

1570
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:33,960
Speaker 1: Well, he's got a new album dropping real soon and

1571
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,600
Speaker 1: we're doing a co venture with someone that we haven't

1572
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:38,960
Speaker 1: announced it yet, but you're very good friends with the

1573
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:39,960
Speaker 1: person's company.

1574
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:44,120
Speaker 3: I'll say that styles p. He's a rapper s t

1575
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:45,760
Speaker 3: y l e Yes.

1576
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 5: So he did lose the last name.

1577
00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:52,080
Speaker 1: We're working on that right now. That's and it's completely

1578
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 1: screwed up the distro. So that's the media been in

1579
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:55,280
Speaker 1: the past two days.

1580
00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 3: And what's it? Styles? What again?

1581
00:58:57,440 --> 00:58:59,440
Speaker 4: S h a u r y h.

1582
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 5: Hey, he's a big hunter.

1583
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:01,760
Speaker 4: Oh my god.

1584
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:03,280
Speaker 3: That's Oh that is not what I thought he would

1585
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:05,880
Speaker 3: look like tough. I just had like British.

1586
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:11,440
Speaker 1: We have visions of him, you know, be it selling

00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 1: out like Morgan walling in two years from now. I

1589
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 1: going this is he's about to pop. And I told

1590

Speaker 1: my wife, I said, we will live within two miles

1591
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 1: of his house because when armageddon comes, he'll feed us.

1592
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:28,000
Speaker 4: He is a real hunter. I mean he does it all.

1593
00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:30,200
Speaker 1: He just got the state record for killing the largest

1594
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 1: moose in Maine with a bow and arrow or a

1595
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:33,520
Speaker 1: crossbow or something.

1596
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:34,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's a man's man.

1597
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:37,280
Speaker 3: He sounds like a whim to me. I don't hey,

1598
00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:41,560
Speaker 3: I'd hire someone to do that. He was in the background,

01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:03,840
Speaker 1: stupid stories.

1610
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 5: Well, I was gonna say.

1611
01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:07,200
Speaker 3: We should in three months or so come do this again,

1612
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:10,840
Speaker 3: and let's just then.

1613
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 4: I also can tell you a menu here's here are

1614
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:15,200
Speaker 4: twenty stories I have. I think the ones you like

1615
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:16,040
Speaker 4: that most of them will.

1616
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:18,200
Speaker 3: Do we should do something like that. And also, you know,

1617
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:19,440
Speaker 3: I also see it. I don't have to lead the

1618
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:21,919
Speaker 3: whole time, which I'm used to doing, which also feels good.

1619
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:24,720
Speaker 4: You want us to come interview you, No, no, Barbara Walter,

1620
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:26,680
Speaker 4: Now we will crush you.

1621
01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:30,160
Speaker 3: But I think let's let's do it again like three

1622
01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:31,800
Speaker 3: months or so, if you guys are cool. Because I

1623
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:33,880
Speaker 3: really enjoyed this. It's also fun to just kind of

1624
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:35,760
Speaker 3: sit back and feel like you're not having.

1625
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:36,800
Speaker 4: To there's no pressure here.

1626
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 3: Wait. And because it's as you know, if I ever

1627
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:42,480
Speaker 3: do one, and I do this every week, one I

1628
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 3: want with somebody. It's just us two. It's exhausting and

1629
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 3: the best way. I have to listen so intently because

1630
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 3: I'm usually asking a question based on what they just said.

1631
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:53,680
Speaker 3: I don't really have a list of questions. I do

1632
01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:56,000
Speaker 3: have the knowledge, hopefully, like I've read enough and understand enough.

1633
01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 3: But it gets to be pretty exhausting, like focusing so hard.

1634
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:01,080
Speaker 3: It's like going on a road trip where you think,

1635
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:02,880
Speaker 3: you know, I'm not that I shouldn't be that tired.

1636
01:01:02,880 --> 01:01:06,800
Speaker 3: All I did was dry for seven hours. But you're subconscious,

1637
01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:12,400
Speaker 3: and even your conscious times has to constantly be scanning, looking, watching.

1638
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 4: And that's one of the things.

1639
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 2: Another thing I loved about our career together is we

1640
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:16,880
Speaker 2: knew in those moments and those.

1641
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:17,320
Speaker 4: Kind of interviews.

1642
01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 2: I usually, I mean, I'm the straight guy, so I

1643
01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:20,880
Speaker 2: would ask the questions that need to be asked, but

1644
01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 2: he's always.

1645
01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:23,880
Speaker 4: There to take that levity, and you know, and then

1646
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:24,320
Speaker 4: we'd go off.

1647
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:26,720
Speaker 2: But you knew you had somebody else paying attention, and

1648
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:28,800
Speaker 2: I knew I was paying attention because he often would

1649
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:29,240
Speaker 2: be doing this.

1650
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 1: To your point though, about having to scan and constantly,

1651
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:35,880
Speaker 1: you also in a split second have to go that

1652
01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:39,440
Speaker 1: joke's too obvious, that questions too stupid. That's you have

1653
01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:43,160
Speaker 1: to filter everything and know to make yourself elevate above

1654
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 1: everyone else that does interviews.

1655
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:47,120
Speaker 5: You do that bon No, I don't know. I usually

1656
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:47,880
Speaker 5: let's to go under it.

1657
01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:50,160
Speaker 3: You know, I want to get to the other side,

1658
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:51,560
Speaker 3: and I'm happy to go under the bar.

1659
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:53,920
Speaker 1: That same market manager were talking about used to give

1660
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 1: us notes like you know you you missed an obvious joke,

1661
01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:56,920
Speaker 1: and it would.

1662
01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:58,640
Speaker 4: Be no, no, we didn't miss it.

1663
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:01,440
Speaker 1: No. The first thing we thought of, and we were like,

1664
01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:04,480
Speaker 1: if he can think of it, anybody think of anybody?

1665
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:11,720
Speaker 3: Wow, your TikTok is uh at Tony and Tony christ Show. Okay, yeah,

Speaker 5: They're getting read?

1672
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:26,160
Speaker 3: Hold on, I hear you. But this is why I

1673
