Speaker 1: business cards anymore? But I don't digress.

15
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,360

00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: our contact information.

17
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,560

23
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 2: or perplexity or chad GBT. I just know that's the

24
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: data that we're seeing. Everyone wants to text. No one

25
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 2: wants to talk.

26
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 3: On the phone.

Speaker 1: do you got?

33
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 3: This is a great week in my opinion. The Stones.

34
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: Released nineteenth Nervous Breakdown, which was just such a weird,

35
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 2: odd sounding song that was on the album.

36
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 3: When it came out.

37
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 2: I forget the name of it, but you remember it's

38
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 2: like an octagon shape or like the pentagon, right, remember.

39
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: That, I do, I'm seeing it. I'm just trying to

40
00:01:58,280 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: name it.

41
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 2: It was my thought record, and I remember having it

42
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: in that shape, and you know, when I was nine

43
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: or ten years old, you know, I would go down

44
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 2: and I would stee you know, liberate records from his

45
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: collection and and I reberate. I remember grabbing that one

46
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 2: and hearing that song, going, man, this is crazy. Yeah,

47
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 2: they're crazy.

48
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, they're the Stones, and back then

49
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: they were they were living crazy, and you got to

50
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: love them. There's there, They're tuned up and a little

51
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: bit more sanitized, but there's still the Rolling Stones.

52
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 2: Songs about mental health breakdowns. And then you got Mother's

53
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 2: Little Helper, you know about probably you know valume or

54
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 2: you know, other drugs or whatever. So yeah, they were

55
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 2: they were on it right. Oh yeah. On March fourth,

56
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty six, John Lennon made his infamous comment we're

57
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: more famous than Jesus.

58
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,279
Speaker 3: Now and that that sparked some controversy.

59
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: I think it would be much different these days, but

60
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 2: that sparked some controversy back in nineteen sixty six.

61
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, you had the dopey DJs who decided they were

62
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: going to go, you know, burn Beetle records or whatever.

63
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: As results of it. You know, there were those things.

64
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,679
Speaker 1: I think that came out. There's always dopey DJs. Let's

65
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: be honest. When there's no dopey DJs, then we've lost

66
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: our soul. But that was a big moment. My father

67
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: was very upset at that moment.

68
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 2: I believe that you and I were both dopey DJs

69
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: at one point. We resemble that remark exactly.

70
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 3: Thank you. Probably here's a good one.

71
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 2: Here's one I want to spend some time in nineteen

72
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 2: sixty seven, the Beatles began recording Sergeant Pepper's and we

73
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: have had multiple conversations on this segment about that album

74
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 2: and how it's just it's.

75
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 3: The perfect album, perfect. You know, from the beginning.

76
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 2: I was looking at this before we started in my

77
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 2: iTunes because, you know, after we talked about it the

78
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 2: first time, I thought, you know, is this on my platelet?

79
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 2: Do I have an actual Sergeant Pepper's playlist? And I

80
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 2: went looking through it before we did this today, like,

81
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 2: there's not a bad song.

82
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 3: It's Sergeant Pepper's.

83
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 2: It's with a little help from my friends, Lucy getting better,

84
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 2: fixing a hole, she's leaving home, being for the benefit

85
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 2: of mister Kite or within You without You. When I'm

86
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: sixty four, Lovely Rita, the meter Maid, good Morning, Good Morning,

87
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 2: the Reprise, and a.

88
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 3: Day in the Life. I mean, there is not a

89
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 3: track that would come on the radio or on my

90
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 3: phone where I go. I'm going to the next one.

91
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 3: I know what that every one of them.

92
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: It's utter perfection. And I think when I first heard

93
00:04:54,240 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: it and listened to it, I was like, WHOA, I

94
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: haven't heard anything like this. This You you'd certainly had

95
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: heard the Beatles, but the way it all flowed, the

96
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: uniqueness of every track, the brilliance of just the you know,

97
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: the intensity, the artfulness. To me, it stands as new Marolunu.

98
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: I think I've said that this this album pissed off

99
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 2: Phil Spector and it pissed off Brian Wilson, because these

100
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 2: were guys that were also experimenting in different ways, Phil

101
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 2: with the wall of sound and Brian you know, bringing livestock,

102
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 2: you know, into the studio to create his sound. So

103
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 2: what they did was was masterful, without question. And then

104
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 2: that little competition that existed between you know, the Beatles

105
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 2: and the Beach Boys and Phil Spector that that most

106
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 2: people probably didn't realize it was happening. We all got

107
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 2: a glimpse of it with these documentaries that have come up.

108
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: That's right, And we can't leave out the great George

109
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: Martin and what he meant to certainly that creation among others.

110
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, pretty pretty amazing what you know I

111
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 2: saw it must be must have been twenty ten. Cheap

112
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 2: trick did Sergeant Peppers here in Vegas where they.

113
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 3: Went through that album.

114
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 2: I don't know if you ever heard any of that,

115
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 2: but you know, there's a there's a connection between Bunny

116
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 2: Carlos and George Martin as I understand it, and you

117
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 2: know who's not a Beatles fan.

118
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 3: And it was great to see Cheap Trick.

119
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 2: If you've never heard that, I think you could probably

120
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 2: still find the Cheap Trick Sergeant Pepper's album on iTunes.

121
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 3: And it's fun. And the concert was fun.

122
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: I'll check it out. I mean, I know they were

123
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: you know Beatles are Beatles fans for sure, but didn't

124
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: know that they did that and perform that. I will

125
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: check it out.

126
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 2: They went through all thirteen songs and then they went

127
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: ripping into dream Police and I Want You To Want

128
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 2: Me and it was raucous and it was fun and

129
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 2: it was just I'm a monster Chief.

130
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: Trick fan, so I am too. My only problem is

131
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: hired them for a gig back in the Ohio days

132
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: and they were excellent. They were tremendous. It was a

133
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: Halloween party that our station QFM ninety six through and

134
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: the nagging issue that I have with the event was

135
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: we couldn't get them to at least mention the freaking

136
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: station call letters on stage, despite the fact that we

137
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: paid them some good Buckeroos. Yeah, bothered me.

138
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 3: That's too bad.

139
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 2: I had an experience with them in Rochester at WCMF,

140
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 2: the legendary CMF, where they came into town and they

141
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 2: actually played unplugged. You and I were talking at this point.

142
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 2: I don't know if you remember the story, but we

143
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 2: convinced them to play a couple of songs. And this

144
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 2: was really before they were doing that. And I remember

145
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 2: that Bunny Carlos took out an empty water bottle, you know,

146
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 2: one of those big water jugs and played the top

147
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 2: of the water jug like.

148
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 3: He was playing a bongo.

149
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 2: Oh wow, And it was an incredible It will it

150
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 2: will stick with me forever. And the other thing that

151
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 2: that will stick with me is that afterwards, and I

152
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 2: think we did this in Boston too, But if an

153
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 2: artist came in, you know, we'd always get CDs or

154
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 2: records or whatever. I remember giving you know, Rick Nielsen

155
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 2: and Robin Xander, you know, a handful of CDs from

156
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 2: music that was out, you know at the time, Tonic

157
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 2: and Train and you know whatever, like here's some stuff

158
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 2: to listen to while you're on the road. And I

159
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 2: remember getting you know, I got guitar picks, I got

160
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 2: a cheap trick watch like you know, we had this

00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 3: I'm just kidding.

166
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 2: In March eighth, nineteen seventy one, Led Zeppelin released their

167
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 2: fourth album, and this was a monster.

168
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,520

00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 2: Please do milk Dud's and popcorn. You're gonna see it

191
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 2: in the theater, I'm guessing. March ninth, nineteen ninety one,

192
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 2: the Monkeys received their their star in the Hollywood Walk

193
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 2: of Fame. It basically was there to honor their contribution

194
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 2: to music in the sixties a lot.

195
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: I'm surprised it took so long.

196
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, A lot of people thought of them as a

197
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 2: joke musically, right.

198
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 3: Oh yeah.

199
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 2: You know, you do a little bit of research on

200
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 2: the Monkeys and the band, the actual musicians that played,

201
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 2: and you look at some of the stuff like go

202
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 2: to you if you're if you're a guitar player, a musician,

203
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 2: go to YouTube.

204
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 3: Look up Louis Shelton, Look up last Train to Clarksville.

205
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 2: Look look how complex those songs are these guys, by

206
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:28,239
Speaker 2: the way, the Wrecking Crew that are responsible for the Monkeys'

207
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 2: music are are guys that played on the Jackson five

208
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 2: records and the Monkeys records and all kinds of records.

209
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 3: Their their musical contribution.

210
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,599
Speaker 2: In my opinion, as what was my title wanting to

211
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 2: be the hack rhythm guitar player. As a hack rhythm

212
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 2: guitar player, I look at guys like Louis Shelton and uh,

213
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 2: you know any of Glenn Campbell, any of those guys

214
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 2: that played as just unbelievable.

215
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 3: And I love the Monkeys music.

216
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put high on the pedestal of underappreciated artists.

217
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: Michael Nessmuth from the Monkeys, you know that's listen to

218
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: his solo work outside of the Monkeys. That guy absolutely

219
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: uh kind of a wizard that didn't get his due.

220
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 3: Interesting, I will.

221
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 2: I'm not aware of his musical prowess, but I absolutely will.

222
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: And Trivia question, so his wealth from his family wealth

223
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: prior to his Monkey's wealth, do you know where that

224
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: came from?

225
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 3: I had no idea.

226
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: It's a it was a particular invention that if his

227
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: mother was not responsible for it, she was integral to

228
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 1: that invention.

229
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 3: Oh what will you give me a hint?

230
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: It's so it's such a it's such a benign office

231
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: supply that probably doesn't exist anymore.

232
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 3: Or but whnt you good? Way? I go? Then go

233
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 3: ah wight out? Okay, yep, no, well, no one need well,

234
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 3: we don't need it. We don't have typewriters. That's right. Yeah,

235
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 3: there you go. That was the giveaway bus.

236
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 1: That's it all right.

237
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 2: Listen to two things in closing pop culture related nineteen

238
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 2: thirty three, March fourth, the original adaptation of King Kong

239
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 2: premiered in New York City and at the time it

240
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 2: set standards for special effects and it was a classic

241
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 2: monster movie. I used to watch those, you know, monster

242
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 2: movies when I was a kid.

243
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: Were you frightened of them? Or did you think they're funny?

244
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 2: I don't know, you know, I remember watching like you know,

245
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 2: I grew up in Worcester and I remember watching like

246
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 2: Creature Double Feature. And by the way, Dale Dorman, the

247
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 2: Great and Late Dale Dorman was the voice for the

248
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 2: Creature Double Feature on Saturday afternoons on on.

249
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 3: Channel fifty six. I didn't know that, Oh yeah.

250
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think it scared me a little bit,

251
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 2: you know when I was a kid, And as time

252
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 2: went on, I really I grew to appreciate it. And

253
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 2: then you look at King Kong now, like those movies

254
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 2: that have come out the last couple of years, and

255
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 2: it's unbelievable, the facial expressions and what they've done.

256
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 3: It's just it's masterful. What's happened.

257
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: So it was like the campiness of it, you know.

258
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely.

259
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 2: And the last it of March eight, nineteen seventy one,

260
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 2: the Fight of the Century, Ali and Fraser Madison Square Garden.

261
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 2: It grew, you know, it drew national attention and honestly

262
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 2: worldwide attention as well. And Joe Fraser hits like an

263
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 2: F and truck, that guy. So and it was a

264
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 2: record for pay per view at that time as well.

265
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: So could that have been the first pay per view?

266
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 3: Possibly? I think so.

267
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 2: When I saw the notes on this, I thought this

268
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 2: must be you know where that was. But I was

269
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 2: never aware of pay per view until the mid ninety

270
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 2: mid eighties. Rather, when you know we were watching the

271
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 2: Tyson fights, I don't and I know they were out there,

272
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 2: I just I wasn't aware of it. That's certainly not

273
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 2: in nineteen seventy one. I mean we you know, I

274
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 2: don't know that we had, you know, cable. You know,

275
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 2: it seems weird when I saw that statistic. I don't

276
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 2: know if that's correct or not, but certainly from a

277
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 2: viewership perspective, it's set records.

278
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 3: There's no question about that.

279
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 2: That was in my opinion because I remember watching those

280
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 2: Ali fights in the seventies. That was ABC Worldwide, ABC's

281
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 2: wide world of sports territory. That wasn't There was no HBO.

282
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 2: There was no HBO boxing back then. That was nineteen

283
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 2: early nineteen eighties. If I'm not mistaken. We don't accept

284
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 2: viewer complaints.

285
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 3: Do we.

286
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, we do. So I was going to say, if

287
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: we get a viewer complaint, we could LEAs go back

288
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: and resource it and everything. We won't re edit it,

289
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: but we'll still stand by at least well, we did

290
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: the research and this is what we found. So don't

291
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: back down.

292
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 2: Harry, all right, I won't, And that's it. That's my
