1
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna start with some YouTube comments from the last episode.

2
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: The first one says, how do you decide what topics

3
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: to talk about on which shows? This is from Nora

4
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: Dune seventy twelve. The first thing is, I keep tabs

5
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: in my phone. I have seven different tabs from Bobbycast

6
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: BBS twenty five, whistles lots to say, like, I keep

7
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: all the notes app right here and then I just

8
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: lay them in as it goes, And how do I

9
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: decide what to actually talk about? I think I mentioned

10
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,599
Speaker 1: this before. It's just basically what interests me, because if

11
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: I'm not interested, it definitely ain't gonna be funny or

12
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: entertaining or compelling if I'm not interested. So that's it.

13
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: By the way, thanks for watching In the Weeds. This

14
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: is the show we talk about really inside things. We

15
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: cannot believe the success of the show, so thank you

16
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: guys for watching it, because nobody should care about the

17
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: stuff we're talking about here. This is just super inside stuff.

18
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: So another one was from b Ball Jones b Ball

19
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: Jones twenty one. What does it mean to be a producer?

20
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: You said, kickoff, Kevin is a producer, Scuba is a producer?

21
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: What is a producer. I'm very curious. So if you're

22
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: a segment producer, you're actually making sure that I have

23
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: all the resources to do the segment. So if kickoff

24
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: Kevin is producing a podcast because he's an entire podcast

25
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,839
Speaker 1: producer of our show called Lots to Say, my NFL

26
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: show with Matt Castle, he will make sure that the

27
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: guest has been talked to before we go on to

28
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: know where to be. He'll make sure we have the link.

29
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: Anything that we send him he prints off. He'll also go, hey,

30
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: these things just happen in the news, Like he literally

31
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: is making sure that everything that we need to move

32
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: forward happens. Basically, a producer make sure the talent can

33
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: do the things that the talent can do. Now that's overall. Now,

34
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: there's also segment producers. For example, like Abby produces a

35
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,839
Speaker 1: lot of the tell me something good means. She goes

36
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: and she finds the story, she gets them do, she

37
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: maages them with whomever would be good at it. So

38
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: a producer, for the most part, is the person to

39
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: make sure that the talent has the resources to pull

40
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: it off. Information guests, et cetera. Scuba Steve's executive producer,

41
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: so he's running the show. I'm running the show. It's

42
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 1: my show. But like right below me and the guy

43
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: that's managing all the stuff with sales, even with the show,

44
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: even vacation like scuba, Steve's doing all that. So it's

45
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: all the outside work to make all the inside work

46
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: that's on matter. So there are segment producers, the show producers,

47
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: and then there's like an executive producer that is managing

48
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: all the people as well. I know I was starting

49
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: to feel guilty because that was way too in the weeds.

50
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: But that's exactly why we're here. Okay, let's roll through

51
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: some other stuff here. Yeah, I ever say something you regret, Yes,

52
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: many many times I would say the thing that I've

53
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: said last was And it's not that the words I

54
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: said were wrong. I think the tone I said it

55
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: in came off wrong. Where we were doing it, maybe

56
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: the podcast after the show, and we were playing a

57
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: voice muff from a listener and she said, hey, I

58
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: like it when the show talks about birds. I don't

59
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: like when we talk about aliens. And I said, hey,

60
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: I see that name behind me right there. That's all

61
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: we talk about aliens because it was my name on

62
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: the show. I was totally kidding. I mean, I guess

63
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: I wasn't kidding, but I would never have said it

64
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: like that in real life. Obviously, everybody knows it is

65
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: my show, so I'm picking what we're talking about. But

66
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: I was very much using that tone being sarcastic, and

67
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: a lot of people got mad at me for that one.

68
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, I also say a lot of stuff that's wrong.

69
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I think if you're talking for multiple hours

70
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: a day and you're talking about things, just a law

71
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: of averages on how many things going to get wrong

72
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: or say wrong. You didn't even mean to say wrong,

73
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: it happens. So I say a lot of stuff wrong,

74
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: and if I'm really wrong, I come back and go, hey,

75
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: I'm wrong about that. For example, we were talking about

76
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: the Carolina Hurricanes who won the Stanley Cup, and I

77
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: don't know why I said South Carolina because I know

78
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: it's not South Carolina. I for sure know it's North Carolina.

79
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: But I had to come back and be like, hey, yep,

80
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: that was on me. I don't know why I said that,

81
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: but yeah, I'll admit it for the most part. Here's

82
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: another one. What's an annoying thing that someone does during

83
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: an interview if you have them in. Is there anything

84
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: that an artist does that if you see it, you'll

85
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: stop the interview. So that won't stop the interview. But

86
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: something that tends to annoy me if I'm interviewing someone

87
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: is when they always want to take every answer or

88
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: every other answer back to their project. There is kind

89
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: of an understanding when you come in on the show.

90
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: You're coming in obviously you have something to promote, but

91
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: I'm letting you come in because I think you're going

92
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: to give me some compelling content. So we have to

93
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: do that dance. You have to come in and give

94
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: me some fun stories, some fun things to talk about,

95
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: and in trade off at the beginning and at the end,

96
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: or maybe a little bit in the middle, we'll talk

97
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: about your project. But it's definitely a dance. There are

98
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: certain artists that come in and every answer is like yeah,

99
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: and it's speaking to that our project is out. If

100
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: that happens. There are times where I don't want to

101
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: have them back in at all because I don't see

102
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: an artist coming in as a gift to me. Maybe

103
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: three artists ever, and one of them's Garth do I go.

104
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: I'm just glad they're here. They're coming in for a reason.

105
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: It ain't to see me, they need to hang out.

106
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: It's because right now we have a pretty large platform,

107
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: and that platform is able to promote their project. Now

108
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: they have to give something for that, and we don't

109
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: take a whole lot of guests. You know, there's kind

110
00:05:54,360 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: of this weird thing in Nashville with radio shows. It

111
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: could be other kind of shows too, where they just

112
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: expect if a record label has an artist, that you

113
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: have to say yes. And we were one of the

114
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: first shows. But we ain't playing that game at all.

115
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: And not only that, we took out all couches from

116
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: our studios that let anybody in the studio that's not

117
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 1: the artist. That was met with a bit of controversy

118
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: at the time too, because record labels will want to

119
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: come sit in the studio or PR teams in the

120
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: studio when we had the artist. So one of the

121
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: first things that I did, because I got tired of

122
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: artists looking at their label and PR person during an interview,

123
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 1: was pull the ability for anybody to be in the

124
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: room except the artist. That a little awkward at first. Secondly,

125
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: we don't take many guests, and if I'm not super

126
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: interested in what they're doing with our project, can be music,

127
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: could be a TV show, I don't know, or if

128
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: they're not a massive name, like my audience isn't gonna care.

129
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: So we don't take many guests at all. And again

130
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: that has been met at times with well, you're not

131
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: a team player. I'm not on a team. I'm not

132
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: on a Nashville team. I'm on it. I gotta get

133
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: people to stream my podcast or listen to my show

134
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: or watch YouTube so I can keep my job. There's

135
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: no team. You don't give a crap. You're not on

136
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: the team either. You're just looking out for you. So

137
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: at times we're looked at in a way that's not

138
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: super positive because we don't take a lot of guests.

139
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: I have to be really interested in what they're doing

140
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: or they got to be a big enough name to

141
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: keep our listeners listening. But what do they do that

142
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: is annoying and it doesn't happen a lot now. It's

143
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: when they always want to talk about the project because

144
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: it's straight off. You have to come and give me

145
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: something good and in exchange, I will promote your project.

146
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: So that will be that answer. Do you look at

147
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: your audience this those that listen on the radio, those

148
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: that listen on the podcast, and those that watch on YouTube.

149
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: They're very different. Now you may watch or listen on

150
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: all three, but they are very different. On the radio,

151
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: the live radio show, it's so hard to get people

152
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: to stay because while people are listening live, life is happening.

153
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: Kids in the car there were like, whatever it is,

154
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: it's life. So I got a hit and go fast,

155
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: get to the point, hook, grab get in, do my business,

156
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: get out. It's very much like that. It is a

157
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: fire drill live on podcasts, you very much chose to

158
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: be there. With radio, there's a bit of passive listening

159
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 1: as well, where people will just have it on and

160
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: they won't be listening fully or they're flipping through at times,

161
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: and you're trying to get understand. But it's very passive

162
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: and I know that, and so I got to hook

163
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: you hard. If you're passive listening, if you're listening on podcasts,

164
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: I can actually be at times a little bit boring

165
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: because you came there for a reason and I don't

166
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: have to worry about grabbing you, hooking you and just

167
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: entertaining you so hard your eyeballs explode. You can just

168
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 1: kind of let stuff unfold. You can naturally organically talk

169
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: about stuff. So you'll notice if you listen to the

170
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: part two podcasts of our show, it is very much

171
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: just hanging out with friends. Part one is the radio show.

172
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: You gotta go as soon as that thing hits all right,

173
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: here's what we're doing. Let's go four four and a

174
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: half minutes, get out, go to the next thing. Da

175
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: Da Da Da da podcast. You can chill a little

176
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: bit because people chose you. But yes, the audiences are

177
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: are different. It's why we do, you know, two and

178
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: a half hours of content every single day digitally, because

179
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: we know the audience is so different. Do you like

180
00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: guesting on other shows? Not really, mostly because if I

181
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: have something that I want to talk about, I have

182
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: a lot of avenues to talk about it. And sometimes

183
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm just regurgitating stories when I go

184
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: on and guests on other peoples shows, other people's podcasts,

185
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: and if I'm not promoting anything specifically, I don't really

186
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: have a reason to be on anybody's show, so I'll

187
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: go in. I like to go and be a part

188
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: of somebody's show, like to sit in on a show

189
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: if they're doing it, and I could just be a

190
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: part of that vibe, that element. Yes, to actually be

191
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: the person being interviewed not really not my thing. I'll

192
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: do it, especially if it's a cool show that I

193
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: listen to, or sometimes the company will hit me up

194
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: and go, hey, we'd like you to do this podcast

195
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: so you can promote your podcast. But for the most part,

196
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: I don't do a lot of guest hits unless I

197
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: know the person or I'm really interested in the show.

198
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: If someone says, hey, we're doing a show, do you

199
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: want to sit in, I'll do that nine out of

200
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 1: ten times. Is because I can just say stuff. I

201
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: can just comment on stuff. That's really what I do anyway,

202
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 1: just comment on stuff, talk about stuff. So if I

203
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 1: can do that, that's fun for me. But for the

204
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: most part, no, And also I do so many shows,

205
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: like I don't have a lot of time to do

206
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: other people's shows. How do you feel when people say

207
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: you have changed? We get this a lot, and I'll

208
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: love it because I have. Some people will say you're

209
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: just not the same as you were back when you

210
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: were in Austin in two thousand and three. You're right,

211
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 1: you know who's also not the same from two thousand

212
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: and three you and if you are the same in

213
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: two thousand and three, oh my god, you need help.

214
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: It's time to go a little bit. So I've changed

215
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 1: dramatically in many ways as a person, I have changed significantly.

216
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: So obviously this show is going to change, But also

217
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: how I do this show has changed, because how the

218
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: show is done has needed to be changed. I was

219
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: freaking crazy the first ten years of my career. We

220
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: were eat Sundays out of each other's butts as a

221
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 1: losing a prank battle. We don't do that stuff anymore.

222
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: I just don't find that stuff is funny anymore either.

223
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 1: But when people say, hey, you've changed, yeah, I have

224
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: changed a lot, and I think I mentioned this on

225
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: another show. I also have a full staff of people

226
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: that if I screw up, there's a decent chance that

227
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: my screw up affects their lives too. So I'm gonna

228
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 1: mess up, But if I mess up dramatically, there is

229
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: a really good chance that it messes up the lives

230
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: of everyone that works on my staff as well, because

231
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: there's a chance they just go done. You're done, and

232
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: if you're done, everybody's done. Now would there be a

233
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: couple people that survived, probably and possibly, but I have

234
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: to think about that I'm messing with other people as well.

235
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: I didn't always have to think about that, especially when

236
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: I started out because it was just me and I

237
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: was running. I was trying to survive, and now I'm

238
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: trying to allow it to survive. So yeah, I've changed

239
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: a lot, no doubt. Let's see. Here's one. I don't

240
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: love it when you do remote interviews, and by remote,

241
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: I think they mean if someone's on zoom. I agree.

242
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 1: Zoom interviews are not my favorite thing either, mostly because

243
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: the timing isn't always right because there's a little latency

244
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: in the Internet, and so I don't do a lot

245
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: of them. Some of them I don't want to say

246
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: no to because I'd rather have it on zoom than

247
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: not have it at all. An example of that is,

248
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: and I don't when I'm recording this, it's not out yet.

249
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: You may be seeing this and it maybe it may

250
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 1: already be out. I don't like doing zoom interviews. But

251
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: John Stamos was, hey, I want to be on the podcast.

252
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say no to John Stamos, So he

253
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: zoomed it up and he had headphones. No headphones help

254
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: a lot too, because if someone's listening through their computer,

255
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: the sound has to come out. They have to let

256
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: it finish, then they talk, and it just kills the

257
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 1: vibe in the back and forth. He had headphones on,

258
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: so there was no that split second matters a ton

259
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: in conversation. That was a really good one. It's rare

260
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: that Zoom interviews end up being really good because specifically

261
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: of that, you gotta wait for them to finish talking.

262
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: If you talk over each other, then you both stop,

263
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: and then it's this awkward pause of when does the

264
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: next person talk? That sucks. What I love is when

265
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: if I'm doing a Zoom interview they have headphones or

266
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: ears and a microphone, then it's as close to reel

267
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: as it can possibly be. But you're right, it's not

268
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: the same. If we do ten interviews on the Bobbycast,

269
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: I need eight of them, eight and a half of

270
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: them to be in person because I don't feel like

271
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: I'm a great Zoom interviewer. I get a bit impatient too.

272
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: On Zoom we talk over each other a couple times

273
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: and out, let's just wrap this thing up, so I

274
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: like you agree, Zoom interviews aren't as good as in person,

275
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: but I have to weigh what I rather interview them

276
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: on Zoom than not at all. And there have been

277
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: a couple after I finished, I think it was not

278
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: at all, But a lot of them end up being

279
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: better than I even thought they were when it was over,

280
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: because I go into it with such a negative attitude, going, oh,

281
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: we got to an interview on Zoom. When I'm interviewed

282
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: on Zoom or zuff, I got a freaking microphone, and

283
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: I got years in because I know from the other

284
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: side of it how important that is. But I agree

285
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: with you completely. And we ask people to hey, on

286
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: this Zoom interview, will you make sure you have a microphone? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,

287
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: And then they show up and there's no microphone. It

288
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: drives me crazy. It drives me up the wall. Thank

289
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: you much. Something else I wanted to address. We were

290
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: playing a game on the Bobby Bone Show, not a

291
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: game that I put together or Mike, but Lunchbox said,

292
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: I want to play a game where I give you

293
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: two artists and you have to pick one of them

294
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: that gets to stay in your life forever and one

295
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: that has to go away forever. You never get to

296
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: hear them again, and he said, we're gonna do George

297
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: Straight versus Taylor Swift. And I've gotten some pushback on

298
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: this one, and I said, I'll take Taylor Swift and

299
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: Amy said, I'll take George Strait. I just don't want

300
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: to deal with Swifties, guys, that's the answer. I just

301
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: don't want to deal to Swifties that day. And sometimes

302
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: you make a business decision and in that day, in

303
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: that time, because I didn't know what he was going

304
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: to ask. When we play games, nobody knows what any

305
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: of the questions are if they're playing the game. Like

306
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: nothing on our show is scripted out. Nothing on our

307
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: show is known ahead of time. Heck, I would say

308
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: ninety five percent of the times that anything is even

309
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: talked about my show, the rest of the show does

310
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 1: not know what's coming. Occasionally I will say to the show, remember, hey,

311
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about this, and I know that

312
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 1: happened like eleven days ago, but I've had a note here,

313
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 1: so when I go to it, just know that that's

314
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about, and that'll be thirty seconds before

315
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: we go on the air. But I never want anybody

316
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: to be so prepared that they've got something thought out

317
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 1: that they want to say. Same with Games. And when

318
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: he said keep forever and one goes away George Straight

319
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: and Taylor Swift, my life flashed before my eyes and

320
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: I said, I don't want to deal to Swifties. I'm

321
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: keeping Taylor Swift now. I don't know if it'd be

322
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 1: different if you ask me that right now, Like whose

323
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: music have I listened to more over my lifetime? Probably

324
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: George Straight because he's been around longer from when I

325
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: was a kid. Who's had the bigger bangers in the

326
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: past fifteen twenty years. Obviously it's Taylor Swift. But a

327
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 1: lot of people say, man, that was quick to the

328
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 1: Taylor answer. I said, yeah, because I don't want to

329
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: deal the Swifties on this beautiful day. But that's why

330
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: here's one. If you're gone, how does the show get done?

331
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: I think what they're referring to because I looked at

332
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: the date was Eddie and I had to go down

333
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: to Florida to meet with some clients and we played

334
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 1: golf and I had to speak at a big client event.

335
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: We went to Palm Beach. I don't think I've ever

336
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: been to Palm Beach, before. I especially haven't been to

337
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: this part of Palm Beach before because it was really rich.

338
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: You just drove around and everything looked gold and there

339
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: were yachts, and so we go. We go to this

340
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: crazy club that I'd never been to. I'm not sure

341
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 1: the name of the club, but I did basically do

342
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: the zillo. You know, you drive by someone's house, you

343
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: won't know how much it's worth, so you just zillow it.

344
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 1: I just googled how much it would cost to be

345
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: a member of the club, and it was four hundred

346
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,199
Speaker 1: thousand dollars entry fee. Was that kind of club. It

347
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: was wild. So we go play golf there. Two clients

348
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: are with us. Have God very lucky because sometimes those

349
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: type of events can be very stiff, and if you're

350
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: playing golf with somebody, it may not feel intimate, but

351
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 1: you're with them for four hours and you get somebody

352
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: that's stiff, it ruins around and it feels like it's

353
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 1: ten hours long. Got very fortunate that the two clients

354
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: we were with were really nice guys. We didn't even

355
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: talk business, and honestly, most business on a golf course

356
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: isn't talked about until halfway through the last hole unless

357
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 1: you've already been working on it, a little bit like

358
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: you're spending that first seventeen and a half holes just

359
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: getting to know each other, hanging out, becoming boys. And

360
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: so I googled the entry fee to that club. I

361
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: guess they close to half a million dollars. We played

362
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 1: golf all day. Got to go back to the room,

363
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: got to I gotta get dressed and put on some

364
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: nice clothes because I'm going to go up and talk

365
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: to all of these advertisers, including the ones that I

366
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 1: was with, but some that I hadn't even met. I'm

367
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: doing some jokes and talking about you know, why it's

368
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: great to advertise, and I mean everything I'm saying, but

369
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: mostly I'm talking about the relationship that the listening and

370
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: the viewing audience has with specific talent. And there was

371
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: a lot of talent out there. Eddie and I were

372
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: out there, Clay Travis, Clay and Buck from that show

373
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: was out there. Brady Quinn who's on Fox Sports play

374
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 1: Quarterback at Notre Dame was out there. Men from Steve

375
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: Harvey Show. It was that kind of thing, right, So

376
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: they have me up. I was the only talent that

377
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: was talking, and I spent a little time, tell a

378
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 1: couple jokes. It ends, but all of that was from

379
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 1: early that morning until that night on a Friday, and

380
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: so we were open about it. So in that type

381
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 1: of situation, we have recorded that show. We recorded that

382
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: one Thursday afternoon. But the reason that Fridays are so

383
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 1: easy is because if we have a guest, we never

384
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: do them live anyway. Ever, I stopped doing live interviews

385
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: with artists forever ago because I knew they didn't want

386
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: to be there that early because they don't naturally wake

387
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,239
Speaker 1: up that early. So there's not an interview that we

388
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 1: do pre nine thirty, usually ten, sometimes ten thirty. So

389
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: we had had an interview already recorded. We did the

390
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: rest of the show Thursday afternoon, and the show that

391
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: the executive are like, hey, we could prerecord your show

392
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: and head out now. The other part of the question

393
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: was what do the other show members do while you're gone? Nothing?

394
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: They sleep in. Scuba Steep has to go in for

395
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: a little bit because's running the show. Ray goes in

396
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 1: to run the audio. But the people in the room, Amy, Lunchbox, Morgan,

397
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: nothing they sleep in. They don't have to go in

398
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: at all. So if for some reason we have to

399
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,479
Speaker 1: pre record, like that Friday, they ain't going in. They

400
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: basically got a day off. That's pretty sweet. That's a

401
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 1: good question, though. Do you have any new hobbies or

402
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: anything you're obsessed with. I love sports cards, and I

403
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 1: really have to keep it at arms lengked because I

404
00:21:55,520 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: tend to like go really hard. I've also incorporated something

405
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: new into my life that's very much a one in,

406
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: one out policy, Like go back to the days when

407
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: you go to the club or the bar and it's packed.

408
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: Somebody had to come out before somebody went in, right.

409
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: And So I was going through a lot of my cards,

410
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: and I've got one of my tabs in my phone

411
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: is sports cards, and I have a bunch here that

412
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: I went through because having CHATGBT and having claude. And

413
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: what I'll do is I'll take a picture of them

414
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: and say, hey, what's the conservative value, and then I'll

415
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: compare them against each other and take the average of

416
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: the conservative value. And so I have like my top

417
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: fifteen cards that I have in my house. Somebody having

418
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: is safe as well. I got really really really really

419
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 1: into it, like unhealthily into it, which I've done with

420
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: a lot of things in my life, luckily never drugs.

421
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: That's why I'd be terrible at drinking or drugs, because

422
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: I would want to win it. I'd want to win

423
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 1: in drugs, win the drinking contests, so have it. But

424
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 1: I'm one in one out. Anytime I buy anything stupid,

425
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: like an expensive card, I make sure to take that

426
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 1: exact amount of money and make sure to do something

427
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:17,959
Speaker 1: good with it. And sometimes let's say there's an expensive

428
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: card and I go, okay, that's just gonna use a

429
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: number that's five million dollars. I can do that, but

430
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: that means I gotta do five million dollars for good.

431
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 1: I'll crab ten million dollars. Ain't then, so because that

432
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: that has allowed me to not do as stupid as stuff.

433
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: But if I buy something stupid, I match it and

434
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 1: do something good because I have extreme guilt about buying

435
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: stupid stuff. But mostly it's with cards, with a bit

436
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: of memorabilia. I still dabble in the memorabilia world. I

437
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 1: got crazy and to pick a ball to the point

438
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: where I was always buying new rackets or paddles. But

439
00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: wife calls them rackets. But I tore my ankle. I

440
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: went cold Turkey I'm not playing pickaball for the first

441
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,719
Speaker 1: time until actually tomorrow will be the first time I'm

442
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 1: back on the court after my horrendous injury. People are

443
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: still talking about it. Oh not really, but the baby

444
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 1: has taken over our life right now, so there's really

445
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: no time for any crazy hobbies. But I have reorganized

446
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 1: all my cards. Cards are better than memorabilia because they

447
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: don't take up as much space like I got like

448
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: fourteen or fifteen really cool signed helmets takes up a

449
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: whole freakin' room. I got fourteen or fifteen cards. It's

450
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: like this right here. Now. There's a crazy bubble on

451
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: the cards, though, and you just kind of wait for

452
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: this thing to bust. But no, I have no crazy hobbies,

453
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: but I do have new ways to handle keeping me

454
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: from having new crazy hobbies, because if I spend money

455
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: on anything stupid, I got to match it and do

456
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: something good with it. And I like doing good with it,

457
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: but sometimes I don't want to spend all that money.

458
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 1: So there you go. Okay, what we're gonna do now

459
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 1: is we're gonna go over. I was talking to a

460
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: big bob from Pittsburgh, knowing from back in the day

461
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 1: he was on the Freak Show in Detroit and they

462
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: went to Philadelphia. We'll talk about all this, but this

463
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: is so in the weeds that I thought, let's just

464
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: talk to another guy who's got a massive show and

465
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 1: just see how he does this show. Again, this is

466
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: extremely in the weeds. You may not find this interesting

467
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 1: or you may be completely enthralled by hearing somebody that's

468
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: got a really a successful morning show talking about his journey.

469
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: So this is Big Bob from Kiss FM in Pittsburgh,

470
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: and I getting even deeper in the weeds. Here you go.

471
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: All right, that's gonna be it for this episode of

472
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: In the Weeds. Thank you everybody for watching. If you

473
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,160

474
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: through and I'm the one doing it. We're so in

475
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: the weeds. Thank you for the continued support. I cannot

476
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 1: believe that you guys watched the show. I can't believe

477
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: the numbers it does on YouTube. We will see you

478
00:25:55,680 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: guys again soon. Until next time, stay in the weeds

479
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: and stay weedy. I don't think that's going to last

480
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: till the next episode. The Bobby Cast will be right back. Wow,

481
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,560

482
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 2: Now?

00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 1: Where are you?

484
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 2: My friend owns a pavement company and also a media company,

485
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 2: so it's close to my house, like five minutes away,

486
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,480

Speaker 2: His studio is actually nice toer than ours.

492
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: I knew guys like that, though, but when they had

493
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 1: their hand in a lot of businesses, it usually was criminal.

494
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 2: No, he's pretty good, dude. Okay. One of the best

Speaker 1: the name Bobby is not. I thought, like, adult is Bob,

505
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 1: and then Bobby was young and then I realized. My

Speaker 1: wife laughed at me and she said the name was

507
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,639

508
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 1: really a young name at.

509
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 2: All or one of the few were one of the

00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 1: why Anyway, we haven't officially met ever, except just on

518
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: Instagram or whatever. But I you know, I was doing

519
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: this podcast and wanted to talk to other like hosts

520
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: that I thought were really good. And I've kind of

521
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: been following you guys' career for a while. So you

522
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 1: and Mikey and everybody that's listening, you can go listen

523
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 1: to the podcast Mike and Bob. It's called Mikey and

524
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 1: Bob right, yeah yeah, so, but it's the you guys

525
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 1: are the Freak Show Live, but the podcast is Mikey

526
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: and Bob, right, or it's not the Freak Show anymore.

527
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 2: We are the Freak Show in very much the same

528
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 2: way that you are Bobby Bones like it was the

529
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 2: name handed over to us that we are to take,

530
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 2: and as the years went on, we're just like, why

531
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,959
Speaker 2: aren't we just Mike and Bob? That's our real names?

532
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,439
Speaker 2: Just like there's there's nothing fake or phony. It's very

533
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 2: early two thousands radio, you know. So one of those situations.

534
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: Are you guys still titled the Freak Show.

535
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 2: In some things? But we go with Mike and Bob

536
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 2: usually with all our like inside imaging and whatever whatever else.

537
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 1: What about you? But your Instagram is isn't it still

538
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: like FS Big Bob?

539
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 2: Yeah? I can't. I can't get the Big Bob from anybody.

540
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 2: I contacted the guy years ago to try to weasel

541
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 2: it away from him, and he was just a total jerk.

542
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,239
Speaker 1: So I tried to buy Bobby Balones on a guy

543
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: once and he one didn't use the account, and still

544
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: two wouldn't sell it to me. And if I don't

545
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: have it across all platforms, there's no need for me

546
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: to have it on one because it's so confusing to

547
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: have it one and not the other. So I didn't

548
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: know you have a weird relationship with Freak Show like

549
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: I do. Bobby balonce because I hate my name. It's

550
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: just who I am now.

551
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 2: It was it was handed down to us. I mean,

552
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 2: we were on a show to start out with. We

553
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 2: started as interns and kind of worked our way onto

554
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 2: a night show with another guy named Tiktak, and he

555
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 2: was always Tik taking the Freak Show like a cast

556
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 2: of characters, and we were the cast of characters basically,

557
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 2: So we went and did nights with him, and as

558
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 2: we moved to mornings, it just made more sense to

559
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 2: carry it on. I guess is what we are known.

560
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 2: And then once we were in the market for a

561
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 2: year or two, maybe a little longer than that, we

562
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 2: just switched slowly to Mike and Bob. I mean, people

563
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 2: still calls the Freak Show, and like, I'm sure there's

564
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 2: still a piece or two imaging on someplace on a

565
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 2: radio station that says the Freak Show. But when we're

566
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 2: talking on the air, it's just Mike and Bob.

567
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: I remember when you guys were doing nights with TikTok

568
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: way back in the day in Detroit, Right, all you got,

569
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: how did you guys get to be a part of

570
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: that show? You were in terns? Is the radio station?

571
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, we didn't. I went to one semester

572
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 2: of college, a community college, and didn't really know what

573
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:29,959
Speaker 2: the hell was gonna do with my life. And there

574
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 2: was a broadcasting school locally, and me and Mike grew

575
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 2: up together, like to go back all the way. We

576
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 2: grew up together, played littleague baseball together, went to school together.

577
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 2: We've been friends since we were probably eight years old.

578
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 2: So it's a unique situation. On top of everything else,

579
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 2: did you guys go intern together? I interned first, and

580
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 2: then Mike took my spot in the promotions internship, and

581
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 2: then I moved on to a paid promotion spot.

582
00:30:58,640 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: And so how did you guys end up getting on

583
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: that show?

584
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 2: We were wandering around TikTok saw us. He was very

585
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 2: much a person that will walk around and pull people in,

586
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 2: like interesting people that he saw in the hallways, and

587
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 2: we just kind of stuck. It was very much of

588
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 2: the time too, where if you were a big guy,

589
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 2: you were the stunt guy, you know, like it was

590
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 2: that kind of radio. So I was sent out on

591
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 2: the streets to do wacky things, try to get myself

592
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 2: arrested basically every night. And it kind of transitioned from there. Yeah,

593
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 2: and then we went to we went from Detroit and

594
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 2: we got fired from Detroit. Oh interesting, Yeah, yeah.

595
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: Was there anything that led to that? Specifically?

596
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 2: It was an ABC station and we were pushing every

597
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 2: limit that we could, basically at night to just be

598
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 2: the Aedgy Night Show and owned by Mickey Mouse. You know,

599
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 2: at that time, we were probably pushing a little too far.

600
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 2: I think there were There's one point where we took

601
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 2: movie passes. I mean it was all the listeners benefit,

602
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 2: but one of the Lord of the Rings movies was

603
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 2: coming out and we took a bunch of movie passes

604
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 2: from the promotions department without telling anybody, and that was

605
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 2: not a good morning. After we took everybody out to

606
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 2: a movie premiere or a night at the movies with us.

607
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 2: That kind of started it. And then there were I mean,

608
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 2: there were other things because the guy that we were

609
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 2: on the show with was really the lead, and he

610
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 2: was the one who was paid the most out of

611
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 2: all of us, so he had the most responsibility and

612
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 2: things kind of went sideways.

613
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: How did that go when they told you you were fired?

614
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 2: It's really an interesting story. They let me and Mike

615
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 2: work on our aircheck because we were just the kids, right,

616
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 2: So we were going up there at night mill the

617
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 2: night working on our aircheck, not during the daytime. And

618
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 2: we go to go in the station and we were

619
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 2: in a big, old historic building in Detroit. We scanned

620
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 2: our card and it dings red and it's just like,

621
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 2: there's no way, just like our all of our air

622
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 2: check stuff in there, and we're making fake air checks,

623
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 2: you know, like it's nothing even that we're on the

624
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 2: air really for. Or we're cutting up stuff that we

625
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 2: did on the night show, just cutting tik tak out

626
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 2: of it, making me and Mike. So it dings again,

627
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 2: dings again. We email our promotions director at the time.

628
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 2: He's just like, sorry, guys, you've been let go. That's

629
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 2: how we found out.

630
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: Wow, so you threw an email you cann't get back

631
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: up to your office. No, no, they didn't tell you

632
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: before you even got back to work.

633
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 2: No, no, it was it was all shut off, man.

634
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 2: And then we uh, we played madd and on Mike's

635
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 2: back porch for like three months and sent out air checks.

636
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 2: At that time, you had to send out CDs. We

637
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 2: sent them out to every station in the country of

638
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 2: just me and Mike. Like the little bits that we

639
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 2: did have saved and nobody. Nobody responded like we reached

640
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 2: out one guy Kalamazoo, Michigan. There was a program director,

641
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 2: but he's just like, I can't take both of you guys.

642
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 2: I only got like fourteen grand for the job. And

643
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 2: our response was just we'll come, like, we'll work at

644
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,839
Speaker 2: the grocery store during the day and do your night show.

645
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:10,919
Speaker 2: And I think we've scared the hell out of women.

646
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:12,839
Speaker 2: Never heard from him again, or he was just trying

647
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 2: to be nice.

648
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: He didn't say yes to that.

649
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,839
Speaker 2: No you after that? Yeah, I mean when I say

650
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 2: literally everywhere, like we were Anchorage, Alaska, like we were

651
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 2: willing to get up and go and everything and just

652
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 2: nothing worked out. And I mean at the same time,

653
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 2: we were still friendly with the night guy that we

654
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 2: did the show with, Tic Tack, so we were hanging

655
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 2: out with him. It's really weird. There's this invisible string,

656
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:39,399
Speaker 2: you know what I'm talking about, Like when people say

657
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 2: there's an invisible string between between you and us that

658
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 2: you probably have never heard before me.

659
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, I thought you find Taylor Swift. I thought

660
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 1: you're going into the whole invisible string.

661
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 2: You like, an invisible string like that connects us like

662
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 2: in a weird way that no one will ever know.

663
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: I'm anxious to hear this.

664
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 2: When you uh, before he got the job in Austin,

665
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 2: that was gonna be our job. Like we were talking

666
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 2: to people. Can you did you lose me? Yeah? We

667
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 2: were talking to people, and like that was the do

668
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 2: you know Dom Theodore? I do? Yeah, Like Dom was

669
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 2: helping us out talking to people throughout the company and

670
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:22,320
Speaker 2: trying to get us cause we were coming from ABC

671
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 2: and he's trying to get us over to the other company.

672
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 2: And that was the job that came up, and we

673
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,800
Speaker 2: were we were sitting on it for like two days

674
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 2: and we're just like, well, it doesn't sound bad. Just

675
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 2: like we can go do nights in Austin, Like sounds great.

676
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 2: Like we don't know anything about Austin, Texas. But the

677
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 2: guy who were on the show with Tiktak, he was

678
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 2: from Dallas, so I guess that was okay. And then

679
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 2: Philly came calling like the next day, like the next morning,

680
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 2: something happened in Philly where the night show got fired

681
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 2: and Philly was offered and we were off and running.

682
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: What happened in Philly to that show? Who was the show?

683
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 2: Somebody was an executive someplace. Now, I believe you don't

684
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 2: want to say I can tell it. I can tell

685
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 2: I can send you a message and tell you what happened.

686
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 2: I think they I think they have a pretty prominent

687
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,959
Speaker 2: role in a company that's a big company, not ours.

688
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 1: The Austin thing was interesting because I got in a

689
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: lot of trouble in Little Rock because I was doing

690
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: nights in Little Rock. I was finishing college and we

691
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 1: had broken into a radio station and Little Rock and

692
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: taken over another station's airwaves, and I got a ton

693
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 1: of trouble. I'm talking bad stuff, and I thought I

694
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 1: was going to be fired. I wasn't. But it was

695
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: right after that stunt had made like the trades, that

696
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: I got a call from Jay Shannon and he said, hey, uh,

697
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 1: you should take this Austin job. I'm here. I'd never

698
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: been to Austin either. And the next day I was like,

699
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gone. I moved down. Never been moved down

700
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 1: in a snowstorm. My favorite city I've ever lived in,

701
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 1: Nashville is great. I was talking to my wife about

702
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: this last night, said, do you think it's just because

703
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: it was that time of your life life that you

704
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,439
Speaker 1: love Austin, you know, more than even Nashville. I said,

705
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: possibly that has a lot to do with it, because

706
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 1: it was just I was broke then, but right, you

707
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: just kind of care free when I was twenty two

708
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 1: years old, I mean, and I got to end up

709
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,879
Speaker 1: getting the morning show when I was twenty three there

710
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 1: because the station was doing so poorly. That was a

711
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: great city to go from Little Rock to Austin. Had

712
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 1: to go from Detroit to Philly. Did that feel like

713
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: a massive upgrade to you guys?

714
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 2: Upgrade?

715
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: Now?

716
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 2: I mean they were still they were both too. It's

717
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 2: so weird because they were both still top ten markets.

718
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 2: But upgrade, I wouldn't say. But there was definitely a

719
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 2: lot more opportunity in Philly, Like it was definitely the

720
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 2: time in radio where artists at least in the top

721
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 2: forty still came through radio and like you know, did

722
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 2: our concerts, and it was everything happening all at once,

723
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 2: and we were right in the middle of it basically,

724
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 2: and I was I was still doing the streets stuff

725
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 2: at that time. So who A lot of.

726
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: Times you and Mike here to Tiktac goes as well.

727
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 2: Tiktak came with us to Philadelphia too.

728
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 1: Were you guys all a little more equal now since

729
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 1: you all went together.

730
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 2: Uh, somewhat. But I wasn't still in the studio. I

731
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 2: was still serving out on the street basically, fully, so

732
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 2: we were all getting paid pretty decent at that point,

733
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 2: like not a lot. I think we moved for Uh.

734
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 2: I think it was thirty six thousand dollars. But that's

735
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 2: a three person night show.

736
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: Wait, they paid thirty six thousand for all three of

737
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: you or thirty.

738
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 2: Six I think me and Mike were thirty six thousand.

739
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 2: I'm not sure what TikTok was making, but like that

740
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 2: was a lot of money to invest in a night show,

741
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 2: even you know, even now. But how long? But I

742
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 2: was still I was still out on the street. I

743
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 2: was still out on the streets every night trying to

744
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 2: get arrested basically, like it was the very much the

745
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 2: Jackass years.

746
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, And.

747
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 2: I was just doing dumb things every night. There are

748
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,320
Speaker 2: plenty of times where I ended up in handcuffs or

749
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 2: I don't actually have a police record, I don't believe.

750
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 2: So that's that's positive.

751
00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 1: How many times did you get put into a car

752
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 1: a cop car? Uh?

753
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 2: Twice for what? Once? We did a We had a

754
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 2: thing we did called hump Day Wednesday where I would

755
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:11,720
Speaker 2: just go out to random businesses and drop my pants

756
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 2: and yell, it's hump Day Wednesday. And I was wearing

757
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 2: boxer shorts obviously, but I would just hump things. So

758
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 2: there was a time at a mattress store where I

759
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 2: started humping a mattress and the police showed up and

760
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 2: got me, uh, and the and pounded the station vehicle.

761
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 2: That was That was a rough morning. I had to

762
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 2: go to court the next morning. Then I had to

763
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 2: go get the station vehicle out. It wasn't great. Been

764
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 2: through some radio times. Bones.

765
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: Do you look back at those because I do the

766
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 1: stuff that I did like that and go, what the

767
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: heck was I thinking?

768
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 2: Uh? Yeah, some of some of it I in.

769
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: A ridiculous way where I go, Man, I'm so fortunate

770
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 1: I did not get into more trouble than I did.

771
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 1: I looked back with real, uh real appreciation for the

772
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: people who did not arrest us.

773
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 2: There are plenty of times where we could have fumbled

774
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 2: this whole thing, and it just could all have been

775
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 2: over and I would have been back in my small town.

776
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 2: We grew up in Michigan, working at the City Works

777
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 2: building cutting lawns, you know, like it really could have

778
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 2: went sideways so many times looking back, because at that time,

779
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 2: I don't know how much. I'm sure we brought worth

780
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 2: to the station, but it they could have disposed of

781
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 2: us and just moved on to the next one, you know.

782
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially a night show, right, they were always first

783
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: of middays and then nights were always first to go

784
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 1: because it wasn't like advertising costs a whole lot to

785
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: be on at night, right, right, exactly, So how long

786
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 1: were you guys in Philly?

787
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 2: Almost two years?

788
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 1: How did that end?

789
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 2: We got the offer to come do mornings here in Pittsburgh,

790
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 2: and we all three came. I was twenty two at

791
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,839
Speaker 2: the time. Right now, I was twenty. I just turned

792
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 2: twenty three. Mike was twenty two, and Tiktak came with

793
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 2: us and decided within like the first month and a

794
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 2: half maybe that he just didn't want to wake up

795
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,439
Speaker 2: and do mornings, and he was like, peace out, I'm done.

796
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 2: Like we came on. We came on to our station

797
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 2: had no morning show at that time. It was a

798
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 2: syndicated morning show out of the middle of nowhere. I

799
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 2: don't even I could. I think it was Seattle, a

800
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 2: syndicated morning show out of there that was runoff CD,

801
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 2: probably a day or two tape delayed, and it was

802
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 2: just awful, Like it was horrible, and the ratings were

803
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 2: less than one share in the morning show. And within

804
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 2: that first month and a half, we came on and

805
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 2: shocked the system and just built from there.

806
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 1: Is that the same station you're on now?

807
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 2: Yeah?

808
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and that's on Is that an iheartstation?

809
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:54,439
Speaker 2: Yeah?

810
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a kiss I mean most Kisses are, I assumed.

811
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: But and you guys have been on for how long

812
00:41:59,640 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 1: there now?

813
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 2: Twenty three, since two, since twenty two now two thousand

814
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 2: and four.

815
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,479
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you've been on there that long?

816
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 2: Bro?

817
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, dude, my mind is blown. That is crazy.

818
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 2: We've survived, We've survived every cut, We've survived every syndication

819
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 2: wave that's come across their company.

820
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: You've been on for over twenty years at Kiss Pittsburgh.

821
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. That Hey. We've also had We've also had the

822
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 2: chance to move to different markets along the you know, years,

823
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 2: and it's just like we found our home, we found

824
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 2: our people. We make pretty good money here for Pittsburgh,

825
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 2: and we make you know, make the company enough money

826
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 2: to make it worth to keep us around.

827
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 1: Oh man, my mind is blown. Did you guys keep

828
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: in touch with Tiktak?

829
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 2: I haven't talked to him in probably fifteen years.

830
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,360
Speaker 1: Does he do video at all now or any media?

831
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 2: Do you know? I'm still friends with I'm on Facebook,

832
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 2: so when I hop on there, like I'll see that

833
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:08,840
Speaker 2: he's doing stuff. I think he's down in Mississippi or

834
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 2: in Missouri, somewhere down down that way.

835
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: I've only been to Pittsburgh a couple of times. I've

836
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 1: toured through there and played a couple of theaters there,

837
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 1: so but it's always night one and so I never

838
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 1: get to spend any time there. And I did come

839
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,320
Speaker 1: in the winter once and it's really cold, obviously.

840
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 2: Yea.

841
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 1: What is really cool about the city?

842
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:31,840
Speaker 2: What is really cool about the city? I mean, I

843
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:37,319
Speaker 2: could give you, as I think a lot of people

844
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 2: discovered during the draft, the beauty of our city and

845
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 2: just people are really nice and welcoming to people that

846
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 2: are from out of town. We have this Mount Washington,

847
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:51,840
Speaker 2: It banks up the one side of the city, and

848
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 2: you have a complete overlook that overlooks the city. But

849
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 2: I mean, if I had to say one thing, it's

850
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:01,280
Speaker 2: the welcoming people that are in the city. There's nobody

851
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 2: that I don't think there's anybody that visits here that's

852
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 2: just like, man, Pittsburgh is full of a bunch of jerks,

853
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 2: you know.

854
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 1: Like I think my association with the city is probably

855
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 1: what a lot of people feel that haven't spent a

856
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:17,720
Speaker 1: lot of time there. Like it's a very blue collar,

857
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 1: hard working city. So that's like the town I grew

858
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 1: up in and like the state I grew up in.

859
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: So everybody kind of looks out for each other. I

860
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: mean generally, that's what Pittsburgh feels like to me as

861
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: an outsider. Is that what it feels like there?

862
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 2: No, not at all. I mean it's very much blue

863
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:36,919
Speaker 2: collar still like it's still you know, very blue collar,

864
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 2: but like the steel mills are gone. Those spaces have

865
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:43,439
Speaker 2: been developed for the most part into green spaces. There's

866
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 2: a lot of attach here. Everybody has a hub here

867
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 2: now because Carnegie Mellon Universities here and Pitts here and

868
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:54,879
Speaker 2: they all have you know, big tech headquarters and robotics

869
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 2: and self driving cars have been developed here. There's plenty

870
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 2: of other things going on than what you would picture

871
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh to be if you're just seeing it as the

872
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 2: you know, everybody sees Pittsburgh as the steel town, as

873
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 2: the Steelers. Now it's it's way more beautiful than that.

874
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 2: And there's I mean, there's plenty of neighborhoods to explore

875
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 2: in parks and everything.

876
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 3: Let's take a quick pause for a message from our sponsor.

877
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 3: This is the Bobby cast.

878
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 1: I saw Instagram story of Paul Skeens that you had

879
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 1: posted at just out throwing the ball with kids. He's

880
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 1: for those of you who know he's a Pirates player,

881
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: but he's was an LSU guy, but is one of

882
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 1: the best pictures top three now in the majors. So

883
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: is that pretty normal for the athletes in Pittsburgh to

884
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 1: just be cool?

885
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,320
Speaker 2: I mean the athletes are really down to earth for

886
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 2: the most part, just because they're living in our community.

887
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 2: You know, like it's it's not like there's a I

888
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:54,359
Speaker 2: mean there's there's nicer parts of town, but there it's

889
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:58,320
Speaker 2: just laid back. Like when people come here to shoot movies,

890
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 2: I think they're blown away by how they can just

891
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:04,840
Speaker 2: wander around town freely. Like I remember Tom Hanks was

892
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:08,400
Speaker 2: here shooting the Mister Rodgers movie. Mister Rogers is Pittsburgh.

893
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 2: He's from Pittsburgh, but he was here shooting the Mister

894
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 2: Rogers movie. And I think he was blown away by

895
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 2: just being able to go out to a restaurant and

896
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:19,760
Speaker 2: enjoy himself and you know, not have paparazzi or anybody

897
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 2: just in his face or bothering him. And I think

898
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 2: that's how a lot of the players can move throughout

899
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 2: the city and just enjoy themselves. That Paul Skeens thing

900
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 2: was pretty cool because that's the little league that my

901
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 2: kids played in growing up. So it was literally right

902
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 2: at the end of my block where he pulled up

903
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 2: and saw the lights in the parking lot and got out,

904
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:41,439
Speaker 2: and he just started watching practice first, like it wasn't

905
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 2: anything that was sanctioned through the pirates or anything. He

906
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 2: was literally driving by and saw the lights up and

907
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:51,240
Speaker 2: saw a bunch of kids, litle kids playing pulls over walks.

908
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 2: Out of course, they noticed it's Paul Skeins and start

909
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 2: going crazy. And then he just joins practice and he's

910
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:58,320
Speaker 2: watching the kids play and playing touch with him and stuff.

911
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:01,880
Speaker 2: He seems like a pretty down to earth dude, like

912
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 2: he's quiet, but he's very down to earth.

913
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:10,240
Speaker 1: How many kids do you have two do you? How

914
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 1: public are you with them?

915
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:16,280
Speaker 2: Pretty public? I mean I would say when I was younger,

916
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,280
Speaker 2: I was way more public with them, and I didn't

917
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:23,800
Speaker 2: really worry about it. My daughter's a going into a

918
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,400
Speaker 2: sophomore year at West Virginia University, and my son's going

919
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:30,400
Speaker 2: to be a senior in high school and probably around

920
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 2: maybe twelve, Dad talking about you on the radio all

921
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:38,880
Speaker 2: the time wasn't the coolest thing, so you know, you

922
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 2: just you just kind of transition away from it. Yeah,

923
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 2: but it's still you know, you can still talk about it.

924
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 2: Like it wasn't like anything that I came up. And

925
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 2: it's just like I wouldn't want to embarrass her anyways,

926
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 2: you know, like she's some people I know in the

927
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:57,879
Speaker 2: past I've heard other hosts talk about just like they've

928
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 2: talked about their kids all the way through, and it's

929
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 2: just like that was not going to be my choice.

930
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 2: You know, Like people still know who they are. They

931
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 2: still show up on my Instagram and everything else, and

932
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 2: they have their own pages now, but talking about like

933
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:17,360
Speaker 2: personal things that are happening in their lives hands.

934
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 1: Off for me, at least, what about Mikey. Does he

935
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:19,879
Speaker 1: have kids.

936
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's one daughter. She's going to their sophomore year

937
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:25,760
Speaker 2: at pitt University of Pittsburgh.

938
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:28,880
Speaker 1: I'm always curious about people and their kids now because

939
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:32,439
Speaker 1: we just had our first baby, and so our daughter

940
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 1: is now three and a half months old. And my

941
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 1: wife is a very private person like she if it

942
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 1: were up to her, she wouldn't exist to the public

943
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:45,360
Speaker 1: at all. She doesn't much on social media. So, you know,

944
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 1: I've had to find a happy medium because for me,

945
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:50,400
Speaker 1: I was by myself forever, and so it was all

946
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:52,320
Speaker 1: out there because what did I care If it's just

947
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 1: about me. You weren't going to hurt me by knowing

948
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 1: everything about me. But when I met my wife and

949
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 1: she was very private, that was a bit of like

950
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 1: a foundation shock for me, and it was worth it.

951
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 1: But now, you know, she's you know, kind of decided,

952
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 1: and I'm with her, but she's like, I think we'll

953
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:15,359
Speaker 1: just kind of chill on, you know, exposing her now,

954
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:18,440
Speaker 1: and so that's kind of kind of what we've decided

955
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 1: to do. Listen, it could change at any point, and

956
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 1: you know, obviously we reserve the right to do that.

957
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:24,800
Speaker 1: But people are so weird We had posted a picture

958
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 1: a few days ago and it was the back My

959
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 1: daughter has this big pink chair that she sits in

960
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 1: and she's looking out the window. And if I don't

961
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 1: show anything for my personal life, people beat me up

962
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 1: and going, why aren't you showing your personal life? I

963
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 1: talk about it a lot my own and then if

964
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 1: I do and we didn't, we don't show our baby's face,

965
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:44,320
Speaker 1: they're like, why do you just show the back of

966
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 1: her head? You just tease it. So there's really no

967
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 1: way to satisfy everybody ever, And it's just weird that

968
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 1: people feel so territorial about seeing a baby's face. But

969
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:57,879
Speaker 1: if I just had a baby out of my butt

970
00:49:57,920 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 1: and it was just my baby, I think I probably

971
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 1: would have been like, here's the babe, here's everything about it.

972
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 1: And I think that would have been probably not the

973
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:04,720
Speaker 1: best decision.

974
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 2: I feel like when our kids were young, like young, young,

975
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:11,919
Speaker 2: like baby age, we talked about all the dumb things

976
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,400
Speaker 2: of being a dad that we just didn't understand and

977
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 2: didn't know what to do. And you know, we just

978
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:19,799
Speaker 2: I don't know if we played it up. We're really

979
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 2: that dumb, Like it wasn't like us playing it up.

980
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 2: So I think we did talk about them a lot.

981
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 2: One of the weirdest things I've ever done in my

982
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 2: life is I think it was like two thousand and eight,

983
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 2: so my daughter was maybe going on to two thousand

984
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 2: and seven, going into two thousand and eight. I live

985
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 2: streamed my life for an entire year. And back then

986
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 2: that wasn't like a normal thing. Like I walked around

987
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:42,840
Speaker 2: with a backpack with a laptop in it and a

988
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 2: wireless card, and I had a pirate's hat and an

989
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,759
Speaker 2: old school like giant webcam mounted on top of the

990
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:52,440
Speaker 2: pirate's hat, and I would show I would show our

991
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 2: life twenty four hours a day unless it was something

992
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:58,359
Speaker 2: really personal, and then I would just pop the sound

993
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:01,279
Speaker 2: out and turn the camera away, you know. Like so

994
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 2: those younger years, there's there's. My daughter was on camera

995
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:09,839
Speaker 2: a lot. But I think it's all your choice too.

996
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:12,400
Speaker 2: The internet is such a weirder place now than it

997
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:12,919
Speaker 2: was then.

998
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:19,320
Speaker 1: I agree, especially with AI and anything they can do

999
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 1: with any But you were the original. I show speed.

1000
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:24,320
Speaker 2: Without the speed.

1001
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 1: Yes, how did that work out? You're streaming? What did

1002
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 1: you like? What happened positively? From all of that.

1003
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 2: Positive I'm not sure anything like looking back on it,

1004
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 2: I'm not sure there's no big takeaway from it, Like

1005
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:45,160
Speaker 2: it was a great ordeal. I had some I mean

1006
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:46,800
Speaker 2: I made some good friends out of it, people that

1007
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 2: would jump in the chat and we were still we're

1008
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 2: in your five or six here. Then, No, it was

1009
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:58,399
Speaker 2: probably less than that year four. So like I think

1010
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 2: it helped helped bond us to listeners a little more,

1011
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 2: But like, I don't there's no like, oh, I learned

1012
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 2: this perspective of life through live streaming for a year,

1013
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 2: and I wasn't like now where you can make a

1014
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 2: ton of money off it or anything. I was just

1015
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 2: doing it for fun. Basically. We got a friend who

1016
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:22,400
Speaker 2: have you ever heard of? I Justine No, she's like

1017
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 2: a tech reviewer YouTube. She's been on YouTube forever for

1018
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:28,719
Speaker 2: a million years. But she started doing it kind of

1019
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 2: and then I'm just like, that looks fun. Maybe I

1020
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 2: actould try to do that. So I went for it

1021
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 2: and went for it for a year, and then I'm

1022
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 2: just like, all right, this is the last day. See

1023
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:39,879
Speaker 2: everybody later, see you on the radio. You know, there's

1024
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:43,840
Speaker 2: no perspective. A couple of creepy people came along throughout

1025
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 2: throughout that year, but for the most part, it was

1026
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 2: just kind of a fun thing and there was a

1027
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 2: chat room that people could talk in, and I think

1028
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:53,680
Speaker 2: a lot of people made lifetime lifetime friends. But it

1029
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 2: wasn't like the Internet is now. So it's it's a

1030
00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:59,160
Speaker 2: very different, you know world.

1031
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:00,959
Speaker 1: You know my friend I Carly?

1032
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:03,640
Speaker 2: Do I know I Carly? Yeah?

1033
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:04,399
Speaker 1: My friend I Carly?

1034
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:08,479
Speaker 2: I know I Carly. I do not know I Carly though, Oh.

1035
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, she does a show shows her life pretty cool.

1036
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 1: You got who is that Miranda Costco?

1037
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:19,239
Speaker 2: Is that who that was?

1038
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:19,879
Speaker 1: I Carly?

1039
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:23,960
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I think I think Nickelodeon Jack Justine's name

1040
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:26,439
Speaker 2: and like this and all that stuff for that show,

1041
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 2: believe it or not.

1042
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 1: Let's do I got a few like specific questions. I

1043
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 1: don't know if you if they hit you up and

1044
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 1: said if you have any questions, we'll go back and forth.

1045
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:37,840
Speaker 1: But so this is just like super inside stuff. So

1046
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:40,839
Speaker 1: my first question is going to be what I get

1047
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:42,480
Speaker 1: asked a lot. What time do you wake up? And

1048
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 1: also how much of the show is live? What are

1049
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 1: your hours?

1050
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:45,719
Speaker 3: Uh?

1051
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:50,400
Speaker 2: Four am right around there? I get up. I'm a

1052
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:51,719
Speaker 2: morning shower guy.

1053
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, I'm a mourning Oh my god. I

1054
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 1: gotta do as much as I possibly can the minute

1055
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 1: my eyes wake up. Uh no, no, I don't know.

1056
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:02,120
Speaker 1: I'm anxious. Guy.

1057
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:06,520
Speaker 2: I got a shower. Her life doesn't move right, and

1058
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:08,480
Speaker 2: then I got to get a coffee before I hit

1059
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 2: the station or things are really sidetracked. But yeah, we

1060
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:15,759
Speaker 2: then we go in and you know, it's only me

1061
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 2: and Mike. We don't have any producers, any staff, no way,

1062
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:22,359
Speaker 2: it's been like that for the twenty something odd years

1063
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 2: we've been on here.

1064
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, what about phone calls? Then who's doing that?

1065
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:32,319
Speaker 2: If we're talking, they're ringing and then hopefully they ring through,

1066
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:35,280
Speaker 2: so nobody.

1067
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:37,359
Speaker 1: You don't have anybody to make sure that weirdos aren't

1068
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 1: getting on to screaming the F word.

1069
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 2: We're not taking the live phones.

1070
00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:43,799
Speaker 1: Never got it, that's me. Listen. That makes a ton

1071
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:45,880
Speaker 1: of sense if you don't have a two like the

1072
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:48,600
Speaker 1: only time we do. But we have two delays because

1073
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:50,279
Speaker 1: we just get people to call and want to just

1074
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:53,879
Speaker 1: yell the F word. Oh we never Yeah, no, yeah,

1075
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:56,080
Speaker 1: that makes sense. Okay, So do you guys go live

1076
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 1: right at five or.

1077
00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 2: Six or we go six about five point fifty and.

1078
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:04,000
Speaker 1: You don't record any of your first part of your show.

1079
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:07,440
Speaker 2: We'll kick off. There's some of it that's recorded, like

1080
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:10,359
Speaker 2: we'll record, but it's you know, it's live. It's live

1081
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:12,359
Speaker 2: in the moment, so it's not like we just try

1082
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:15,279
Speaker 2: to get ahead in case there's anything that we need

1083
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 2: to get done for the day, So if there's commercials

1084
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 2: or stuff we have to record for promos or whatever

1085
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 2: else comes along. Or we also added all of our

1086
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 2: best of bits, so any production that goes into the show,

1087
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:32,879
Speaker 2: and the imaging that goes into the show, anything that's

1088
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:36,719
Speaker 2: on our social medias. We do have a kid now

1089
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 2: that is the producer for the Rock Show in our

1090
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:45,160
Speaker 2: building that helps edit some of our video clips because

1091
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:48,880
Speaker 2: it's a whole thing. But like, we had a producer

1092
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:52,560
Speaker 2: spot open for a media producer and it got pulled

1093
00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 2: in the last round of Yanks here, so.

1094
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:58,399
Speaker 1: It never got filled. It existed for a second open,

1095
00:55:58,440 --> 00:55:59,560
Speaker 1: but the job never got filled.

1096
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:02,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's happened twice to us now in the past

1097
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:07,160
Speaker 2: four years where we've opened a job taken resumes Like

1098
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:08,799
Speaker 2: this past time, I think we had over two hundred

1099
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 2: resumes of people that wanted in, and up until that

1100
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 2: point it's just been me and Mike and a guy,

1101
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:17,479
Speaker 2: a guy who's a listener of the show who works

1102
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 2: for one of the local TV stations here. He would

1103
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:24,279
Speaker 2: help us edit videos, is named Steve. Awesome dude. We

1104
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 2: were hoping that he would be lined up for that

1105
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 2: job like that we could move him over and work

1106
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 2: with us, and it just it got yanked with the.

1107
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,720
Speaker 1: With the budget cuts, with the last round of cuts,

1108
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:44,840
Speaker 1: Hang tight, the Bobby Cast will be right back. Welcome

1109
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:46,560
Speaker 1: back to the Bobby Cast.

1110
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:47,400
Speaker 2: Dang well.

1111
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 1: Shout out to you guys for doing all that with

1112
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:50,680
Speaker 1: just you two.

1113
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:54,239
Speaker 2: That is why it's our own stupidity though, because I

1114
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:58,080
Speaker 2: mean we started you know this twenty some years ago,

1115
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:00,360
Speaker 2: and we showed everybody that we can and do it

1116
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:05,439
Speaker 2: all ourselves. And we used to I mean back when

1117
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 2: like the blog era of radio was a huge thing

1118
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:11,759
Speaker 2: and everybody was tracking how many blog hits you got

1119
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:13,960
Speaker 2: and you were compared to everybody across the country. We

1120
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 2: tried to just run it down people's throats and try

1121
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 2: to be number one every month. So we proved that

1122
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:24,480
Speaker 2: that that we could do that, and then like we

1123
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:27,520
Speaker 2: transitioned to podcasts and we could do that on our own,

1124
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 2: and then social media came along real heavy and we

1125
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 2: could we prove we can do that on our own.

1126
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 2: So it's it's more of us just kind of digging

1127
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 2: in and working twenty four hours a day as opposed

1128
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:40,760
Speaker 2: to working smarter and asking for help. And even when

1129
00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:42,760
Speaker 2: we asked for help, it wasn't there because we already

1130
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:45,880
Speaker 2: proved that we could dig in and do it.

1131
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 1: I mean that's why we never got promotional money, because

1132
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:50,240
Speaker 1: I was able to prove we didn't need it. So

1133
00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 1: when I would ask for it, they would go, well,

1134
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:53,200
Speaker 1: why do we want to give any promotional money? You

1135
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:55,360
Speaker 1: don't need it. You've shown you don't need it. It's

1136
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 1: a double edged sword because you want to be able

1137
00:57:57,040 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 1: to do it yourself and prove that you have tremendous value.

1138
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:05,360
Speaker 1: But at the same time, if you ever ask for anything,

1139
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:08,920
Speaker 1: it gets met with no, you've done it yourself the

1140
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:11,320
Speaker 1: whole time. Why should we put this money here or whenever?

1141
00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 1: You've shown us that you can do it, So if

1142
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 1: you need it, then go harder. Yeah, that's a weird

1143
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 1: place to put yourself, But yeah, you guys doing it

1144
00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:21,040
Speaker 1: two man, I mean that is significant at such a

1145
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:21,600
Speaker 1: high level.

1146
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, I got a question for you if that's

1147
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:24,440
Speaker 2: all right?

1148
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I ask away.

1149
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:30,040
Speaker 2: I guess you know every show has to come to

1150
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 2: an end sometime. But you're such your name. Would your

1151
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 2: name continue on the show? Do you think like if

1152
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:39,400
Speaker 2: you were to step if you were to step away,

1153
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 2: does your name come with you or does the company

1154
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:43,920
Speaker 2: own that name? And then because there's been other situations

1155
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:46,680
Speaker 2: obviously where shows have continued under a certain name with

1156
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:50,000
Speaker 2: different characters, and have you ever read have you ever

1157
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:50,760
Speaker 2: thought of that before?

1158
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 1: This show would not have my if I'm not on it. One,

1159
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:55,360
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want it to have to keep my name

1160
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:58,160
Speaker 1: if it's a selfish thing, unless I'm getting residuals. I mean,

1161
00:58:58,240 --> 00:58:59,480
Speaker 1: they want to run the show and keep my name

1162
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:02,200
Speaker 1: and pay me while I'm not there. Sure, but no,

1163
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 1: in no way would the show have my name if

1164
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 1: I'm not on it because I plan to be doing

1165
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 1: other things and I own my name.

1166
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 2: So that's the same thing.

1167
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:13,200
Speaker 1: And if not, you can do what Ultimate Warrior did

1168
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:16,080
Speaker 1: in wrestling because he didn't own the Ultimate Warrior and

1169
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:18,480
Speaker 1: what he wanted to do was be able to be

1170
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:21,680
Speaker 1: the Ultimate Warrior in WCW, and so he changed his

1171
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 1: legal name to Ultimate Warrior because they can't keep you

1172
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:26,960
Speaker 1: from being ultimate warrior if that's your real name.

1173
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 2: So that's true. It's true.

1174
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 1: I've often thought about if I do end up like

1175
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:34,480
Speaker 1: running for uh, you know, for election or in politics

1176
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:37,880
Speaker 1: at all, changing my middle name to Bones legitimately, so

1177
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:41,080
Speaker 1: on the ballot we'll say Bobby bones Estol, which is

1178
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:43,840
Speaker 1: my real last name, because then people there won't have

1179
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 1: to be that association of Wait, I got to remind

1180
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:47,960
Speaker 1: them my new name. If I put in my real

1181
00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 1: middle name, it's Bones, people will know who that is.

1182
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, no, if I'm out, the name's out. You know,

1183
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:56,880
Speaker 1: I'm done. We're done with this.

1184
00:59:57,040 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 2: I didn't know if another person from your cast would

1185
00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 2: just step into the your desk position, and if they did.

1186
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:07,920
Speaker 1: It definitely wouldn't be with my name, you know, if

1187
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 1: you know. I think if anybody was to do it

1188
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:13,880
Speaker 1: on my show. But again I don't even know. I

1189
01:00:14,120 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 1: don't know what the company would do. But I did

1190
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:21,520
Speaker 1: get told by our CEO probably five or six years

1191
01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 1: or so ago, because we were talking about and at

1192
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 1: the time I think it was hyper focused on getting markets.

1193
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 1: Now I'm just hyper focused on growing digitally like hot

1194
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:32,480
Speaker 1: like that. That's the thing. Let me grow the podcast

1195
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:34,880
Speaker 1: as big as I freaking can you put us in places?

1196
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:38,440
Speaker 1: That's great, but I want to grow everything digitally. And

1197
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 1: so he said, you know, we can't put you in

1198
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 1: every city because if you die, that'd be too hard

1199
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:45,640
Speaker 1: to bounce back from. And I was like, yeah, it's

1200
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 1: pretty smart.

1201
01:00:47,080 --> 01:00:50,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, like that kind of makes sense. Yeah, do you

1202
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:52,400
Speaker 2: want to run for political office? Is that a thing?

1203
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:56,640
Speaker 1: I want to less and less as it happens. I

1204
01:00:56,840 --> 01:00:59,920
Speaker 1: just know where I come from. There's not a lot

1205
01:00:59,960 --> 01:01:03,439
Speaker 1: of people that represent those people that come from where

1206
01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:06,080
Speaker 1: I came from and grew up how I grew up

1207
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 1: without a lot of resources. You know, most people that

1208
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 1: get into politics get into it because they're famili's in politics,

1209
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 1: or they have some money already, they're able to run.

1210
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:15,400
Speaker 1: They're able to run for office because they can afford to.

1211
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:17,720
Speaker 1: So then you get a bunch of rich people or

1212
01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:21,120
Speaker 1: a bunch of nepotism or but not people who actually

1213
01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:23,720
Speaker 1: come from it, and like I come from it, and

1214
01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 1: so but I've been able to come from it and

1215
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:28,360
Speaker 1: do really well and understand both sides. I understand how

1216
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:31,840
Speaker 1: rich people are able to like loophole like crazy. So

1217
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:34,440
Speaker 1: it's all this weird stuff that I feel like I've

1218
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:37,640
Speaker 1: been able to learn. And you know, I've studied a

1219
01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:41,880
Speaker 1: lot as far as just the basic fundamental like how

1220
01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 1: to make a law. I feel like I'm on you know,

1221
01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:46,240
Speaker 1: blues clues. I've been. I had to do all that,

1222
01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 1: and I've spent a lot of years doing it. I

1223
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:49,919
Speaker 1: almost ran for governor a few years ago. We bought

1224
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:52,320
Speaker 1: a house in Arkansas at the time, in Central Arkansas,

1225
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:55,640
Speaker 1: and I lived there plenty, because you have to be

1226
01:01:55,720 --> 01:01:58,240
Speaker 1: there seven years in a row to run for office

1227
01:01:58,240 --> 01:01:59,520
Speaker 1: at any point in your life. And I lived there

1228
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:02,320
Speaker 1: the first twenty two years of my life. And I

1229
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:05,640
Speaker 1: am hardcore from Arkansas in every way. But so I

1230
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:07,560
Speaker 1: thought about running for governor because one of these big

1231
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:10,000
Speaker 1: headhunting firms had come to me and said, we want

1232
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:13,880
Speaker 1: you to run, and so I said, okay. And it

1233
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:16,000
Speaker 1: was basically just being on the phone asking for money

1234
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:19,760
Speaker 1: all the time more than actually having big ideas to

1235
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:22,840
Speaker 1: fix things right. So it turned me off a bit,

1236
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:24,880
Speaker 1: but I still think maybe one day. But we still

1237
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:26,640
Speaker 1: have a house in Arkansas. We live in Fattville now

1238
01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 1: as well. But yeah, I love my state. I'd love

1239
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:31,920
Speaker 1: to help, like I understand what it's like to have

1240
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 1: food insecurity and not good education, and so those are

1241
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 1: the things I want to help, but those aren't the

1242
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:41,360
Speaker 1: things to get the clicks. So that's it. That's that's

1243
01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:43,760
Speaker 1: the elevator speech on do you.

1244
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:45,560
Speaker 2: Do your show multiple plays? Like do you have a

1245
01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:49,560
Speaker 2: studio in Arkansas? As well? Like do you travel in between?

1246
01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:53,560
Speaker 2: So now, no, but I can go.

1247
01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:57,000
Speaker 1: I can go into any studio. But also it's the

1248
01:02:57,160 --> 01:02:59,160
Speaker 1: technology is so good now I can flip open a

1249
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:03,200
Speaker 1: laptop right and put a mic and and zoom it

1250
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:06,080
Speaker 1: and it's really close if we have to do it

1251
01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 1: that way. But we'll travel with a kit sometimes and

1252
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:12,160
Speaker 1: sometimes we'll just travel with you know a few of

1253
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 1: us with the podcast rig Or, Like I'm going to

1254
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:16,560
Speaker 1: la to fill in for Rich Eisen for a few

1255
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:18,560
Speaker 1: days for his sports show, and I'll just work from

1256
01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:23,720
Speaker 1: his studio because anywhere where the connection works, right, So yeah, yeah, yeah,

1257
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:28,880
Speaker 1: uh okay, here's my second question for you. You had

1258
01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:31,360
Speaker 1: other cities come and say, hey, do you guys want

1259
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:33,600
Speaker 1: to move shows and move cities, and you guys chose

1260
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:36,800
Speaker 1: not to. Is that something that you both did, One

1261
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:38,720
Speaker 1: of you want to do it and one didn't like.

1262
01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:40,200
Speaker 1: How was how did that conversation go?

1263
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:46,280
Speaker 2: Uh No, we are pretty We're pretty in sync with everything, man, Like,

1264
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:48,400
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest with you if we're being completely

1265
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 2: honest with me and Mike, Like, closest thing I have

1266
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 2: to a brother. He has a brother, but he's the

1267
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 2: closest thing. I'm an only child. He's the closest thing

1268
01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:58,920
Speaker 2: I have new brother, Like I if he really wanted

1269
01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:01,240
Speaker 2: to make that move, I would jump in with them

1270
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:03,800
Speaker 2: and we would just go balls out in that direction.

1271
01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:07,480
Speaker 2: Like so, I mean, we talked it over. It was

1272
01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:10,760
Speaker 2: never the right situation or the right time or we

1273
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:15,560
Speaker 2: felt like we had the right backing. And then Pittsburgh's

1274
01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:19,200
Speaker 2: just been so good to us too, which is just

1275
01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 2: makes the decision so much easier.

1276
01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:23,280
Speaker 1: Did you have a show growing up you listen to

1277
01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:25,560
Speaker 1: that you look back and like that was your show

1278
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:26,840
Speaker 1: when you were a kid and young adult?

1279
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:32,040
Speaker 2: No, really, I'm not like a radio nerd dude, like

1280
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:35,560
Speaker 2: I went to Like I said, I went to a

1281
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:40,080
Speaker 2: broadcasting school, but like the broadcasting school taught radio and TV,

1282
01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:42,920
Speaker 2: and in my head, I'm just like, man, it'd be

1283
01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:45,840
Speaker 2: cool to be like a camera man at like ESPN,

1284
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:48,600
Speaker 2: or something, you know, like it was something along those lines.

1285
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:51,360
Speaker 2: Like it wasn't like, oh, I've been chasing this radio

1286
01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:53,520
Speaker 2: dream my whole life, like when I I did like

1287
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:56,600
Speaker 2: I said, I did one semester community college on undecided.

1288
01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:01,680
Speaker 2: We came from a very middle class us, Like my

1289
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:04,920
Speaker 2: dad worked doubles to keep us in that middle class,

1290
01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:08,960
Speaker 2: you know, Like it was Detroit right outside in the suburb.

1291
01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:11,080
Speaker 2: It wasn't like run down or anything, but we would

1292
01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:16,320
Speaker 2: definitely weren't wealthy by any means. So I don't think

1293
01:05:16,360 --> 01:05:18,840
Speaker 2: I could see past the fence to see that there

1294
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:21,880
Speaker 2: was this whole career or it was even possible for

1295
01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:24,600
Speaker 2: me to ever do this. I think that's why when

1296
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:29,200
Speaker 2: I finally got into a radio station in Detroit, we

1297
01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:32,960
Speaker 2: didn't leave. Like we were there from eight am with

1298
01:05:33,120 --> 01:05:37,840
Speaker 2: promotions to through the night show to helping him record production,

1299
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:40,960
Speaker 2: to three in the morning to back there at eight

1300
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:44,960
Speaker 2: am to do promotions and work in concerts in between

1301
01:05:45,080 --> 01:05:49,200
Speaker 2: and helping out, talking to everybody and seeing what everybody does.

1302
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:53,480
Speaker 2: Like I think we both got the opportunity to do this,

1303
01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:58,400
Speaker 2: and we're just like this, holy holy bleep, this is

1304
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:00,520
Speaker 2: going to be something we can do and they'll pay

1305
01:06:00,600 --> 01:06:03,520
Speaker 2: us eventually, like let's dive in and run with it.

1306
01:06:05,040 --> 01:06:08,200
Speaker 2: But now, I mean, none of the markets that have

1307
01:06:08,320 --> 01:06:11,200
Speaker 2: approached just over the years, and there have, like I said,

1308
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:14,000
Speaker 2: there have been something just nothing felt like the right

1309
01:06:14,080 --> 01:06:17,920
Speaker 2: situation or enough to pull us away from Pittsburgh just

1310
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:19,360
Speaker 2: because it's been so good to us.

1311
01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:23,240
Speaker 1: We're gonna wrap this up pretty soon. Do you have

1312
01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:26,000
Speaker 1: any other questions for me? I don't really know, you know,

1313
01:06:26,080 --> 01:06:27,520
Speaker 1: I just wanted to talk with you because I like

1314
01:06:27,560 --> 01:06:30,160
Speaker 1: to talk with folks that like I admire their work.

1315
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:32,960
Speaker 1: And I remember you guys doing the night show and

1316
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:34,680
Speaker 1: I followed. I act like I didn't know and I

1317
01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:36,040
Speaker 1: was asking questions, but I knew a lot of the

1318
01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:37,439
Speaker 1: stuff that you were talking about as far as where

1319
01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:39,720
Speaker 1: you'd been. And you know, I remember you guys with

1320
01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 1: tik Tak back in the day because me being in

1321
01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 1: Arkansas at the time being a little rock and you

1322
01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 1: guys were on over there around the same time, and

1323
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:49,440
Speaker 1: I thought you guys were really freaking crazy like you

1324
01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:54,160
Speaker 1: guys were. I was never crazy. I was always at times,

1325
01:06:55,760 --> 01:07:00,640
Speaker 1: I was not risk averse, but I was never insane,

1326
01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:03,000
Speaker 1: and I thought you guys were insane in a beautiful way.

1327
01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:05,840
Speaker 1: So I've always kept up with you guys, and I

1328
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:07,600
Speaker 1: just can't believe I'm that old, because when you say

1329
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:08,960
Speaker 1: you've been there twenty years, a little bit of that

1330
01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:10,960
Speaker 1: was going, Oh my god, that means I'm a hundred

1331
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:11,280
Speaker 1: as well.

1332
01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:14,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were. I mean we went to Philly. When

1333
01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:16,560
Speaker 2: we were it was like Q one o two. When

1334
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:18,720
Speaker 2: we were there, it was like TRL was at its

1335
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:21,880
Speaker 2: peak and like Carson Daly would come hang out and

1336
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:24,200
Speaker 2: stuff like that, like those were still in those years.

1337
01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:26,360
Speaker 2: So we only stayed there there a year and a half,

1338
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:27,960
Speaker 2: and like I said, two thousand and four, we've been

1339
01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:28,800
Speaker 2: here ever since.

1340
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:30,280
Speaker 1: Who did the morning show then?

1341
01:07:30,400 --> 01:07:35,280
Speaker 2: Was it Cheo Chio? Yeah, there's a funny story about Cheo.

1342
01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:36,080
Speaker 1: I'm ready.

1343
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:40,360
Speaker 2: The Philadelphia Quoyer came in to do a twenty four

1344
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:43,320
Speaker 2: hours at the radio station, and like this is before

1345
01:07:43,600 --> 01:07:45,320
Speaker 2: web was really a thing. I mean it was, but

1346
01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:48,480
Speaker 2: it wasn't like it is now. So you're making the

1347
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:53,600
Speaker 2: Philadelphia Daily or whatever. It was Philadelphia Choyer, Philadelphia Weekly,

1348
01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:55,720
Speaker 2: one of those. But you're making that and they're doing

1349
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:57,240
Speaker 2: a Day in the Life at Q one o two

1350
01:07:57,280 --> 01:08:00,600
Speaker 2: and it was supposed to be like really heavy highlighting

1351
01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:03,920
Speaker 2: the morning show, and the guy stayed around all day

1352
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:06,120
Speaker 2: writing his little notes of everything, and then he got

1353
01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:09,200
Speaker 2: to us, and I forget what we did that day,

1354
01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:14,200
Speaker 2: but we completely like blew the guy away, like we

1355
01:08:14,320 --> 01:08:16,240
Speaker 2: were doing dumb stuff. We had people running in there

1356
01:08:16,320 --> 01:08:19,400
Speaker 2: underwear doing like an under five hundred I think it was,

1357
01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:23,519
Speaker 2: if I remember right. And they go to shoot the

1358
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:27,000
Speaker 2: cover of the Philadelphia Weekly magazine and it was supposed

1359
01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:30,200
Speaker 2: to be Cheo in the Morning Show and his characters

1360
01:08:30,960 --> 01:08:33,080
Speaker 2: on the cover in the main page, and they wanted

1361
01:08:33,160 --> 01:08:36,559
Speaker 2: the three of us front and center like and then

1362
01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:39,080
Speaker 2: there were three little boxes on the top that was

1363
01:08:39,160 --> 01:08:43,280
Speaker 2: Cheo and his crew. So that went over pretty bad.

1364
01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:47,680
Speaker 1: I remember right how dramatic that was in the building, But.

1365
01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:52,400
Speaker 2: We we were just flying. It was hectic, like there

1366
01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:55,800
Speaker 2: was no there was no worry about anything in the world.

1367
01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:58,120
Speaker 2: And I think at that point, like me and Mike,

1368
01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:00,639
Speaker 2: a lot of the times were too young and dumb

1369
01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:04,680
Speaker 2: to know how reckless it really was and like how

1370
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:07,760
Speaker 2: close we were to the aedge of just it being

1371
01:09:07,840 --> 01:09:11,880
Speaker 2: all gone. But at the same time, I feel like

1372
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:14,160
Speaker 2: we thought we could just bounce to a different market,

1373
01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:17,320
Speaker 2: and you know, it was it was a completely different

1374
01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:19,320
Speaker 2: way wait radio operated back then.

1375
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:23,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think me being naive helped a ton because

1376
01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:26,600
Speaker 1: had I known, and like you said, how close I

1377
01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:29,679
Speaker 1: actually was to the sun at times, I probably wouldn't

1378
01:09:29,680 --> 01:09:31,840
Speaker 1: have flown so close to the sun. But me doing

1379
01:09:31,960 --> 01:09:35,400
Speaker 1: that actually created a lot of the success and a

1380
01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:36,200
Speaker 1: lot of the foundation.

1381
01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:38,439
Speaker 2: Even we came here, do you got to hop off?

1382
01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:42,280
Speaker 2: I don't keep you for Even we came here, like,

1383
01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:44,960
Speaker 2: we were still trying to push the limit, right, So

1384
01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:47,120
Speaker 2: we were doing the hump day Wednesday bit, and I

1385
01:09:47,200 --> 01:09:51,200
Speaker 2: dropped my pants inside of a major retail box store,

1386
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:55,679
Speaker 2: and like, by three o'clock, that major retail box store

1387
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:59,040
Speaker 2: had our whole company on the line willing to pull

1388
01:09:59,160 --> 01:10:02,600
Speaker 2: like all their nation advertising because of something stupid that

1389
01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:07,080
Speaker 2: I did in a little, you know store in the

1390
01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:10,879
Speaker 2: middle of Pennsylvania. So I think that was a reality

1391
01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:12,280
Speaker 2: check for us. That was one of them. That was

1392
01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:14,519
Speaker 2: one of them where they set us down. Geane Romano,

1393
01:10:14,640 --> 01:10:18,280
Speaker 2: God bless him. He was very He gives a long,

1394
01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:21,040
Speaker 2: long runway to take off like we were off and flying,

1395
01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:25,280
Speaker 2: but he let us. He gives a long leash. And

1396
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:27,120
Speaker 2: then there was another time where I had a live

1397
01:10:27,240 --> 01:10:30,559
Speaker 2: chainsaw our and our offices, trying to chainsaws through our

1398
01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:33,960
Speaker 2: desk and I've never operated a chainsaw before, and it

1399
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:36,920
Speaker 2: was a big, full on, like lumberjack chainsaw that a

1400
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:41,200
Speaker 2: listener dropped off for us to use. And I'm hammering

1401
01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:44,200
Speaker 2: at this desk and Gene comes running in from behind

1402
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:46,400
Speaker 2: and we're live on air and he's just screaming, shut

1403
01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:48,479
Speaker 2: it off, shut it off. That was another bad day.

1404
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:51,240
Speaker 2: So those first couple of months of us trying to

1405
01:10:51,280 --> 01:10:53,360
Speaker 2: figure out what the hell we're going to do in mornings,

1406
01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:57,040
Speaker 2: and I don't think all that stuff converted our morning

1407
01:10:57,160 --> 01:11:00,880
Speaker 2: radio show like I don't think it did. It wasn't.

1408
01:11:01,160 --> 01:11:02,840
Speaker 2: We took our night show and tried to jam it

1409
01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:05,560
Speaker 2: in the morning show, and some of it work, some

1410
01:11:05,680 --> 01:11:07,720
Speaker 2: of it didn't. We definitely shocked the system, but then

1411
01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:09,840
Speaker 2: you had to build the community around it where people

1412
01:11:09,880 --> 01:11:12,519
Speaker 2: actually cared about you and cared about things that you're doing.

1413
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:15,240
Speaker 2: And I think that took years. You know, it wasn't

1414
01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:17,519
Speaker 2: there was an instant overnight success here, But at the

1415
01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:20,120
Speaker 2: same time, we were coming from nothing that zero less

1416
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:22,760
Speaker 2: than one share, so we looked like heroes to start

1417
01:11:22,840 --> 01:11:25,439
Speaker 2: out with. But for us to build the community that

1418
01:11:25,520 --> 01:11:30,040
Speaker 2: we have now, or just the people that you know

1419
01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:33,320
Speaker 2: that are in our building that really back our show.

1420
01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:36,000
Speaker 2: And we got some pretty good people that still work

1421
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:39,320
Speaker 2: with us that are still around through all this, that

1422
01:11:39,400 --> 01:11:43,080
Speaker 2: have been around for years that we worked with. So

1423
01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:44,880
Speaker 2: to go back to your point of leaving, I don't

1424
01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:47,880
Speaker 2: you know, it would take a lot. It would take

1425
01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:51,400
Speaker 2: a lot. There was a point now, God, no.

1426
01:11:51,800 --> 01:11:52,880
Speaker 1: I'm ready. I went to the point.

1427
01:11:54,439 --> 01:11:56,400
Speaker 2: I don't even remember what I was gonna say.

1428
01:11:56,760 --> 01:11:58,479
Speaker 1: Or did you second guess saying it? Because I do

1429
01:11:58,560 --> 01:11:58,920
Speaker 1: that a lot.

1430
01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:04,280
Speaker 2: I did second guess. Yeah, it was something about our

1431
01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:05,680
Speaker 2: last contract negotiation.

1432
01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:07,840
Speaker 1: Expect it, you know what. I'll respect that for what

1433
01:12:07,960 --> 01:12:11,120
Speaker 1: it is. Hey, I really appreciate the time. And you

1434
01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:15,840
Speaker 1: guys continue to kill it up there, and man, I

1435
01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:19,080
Speaker 1: can't believe that you got a two man operation of

1436
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:21,840
Speaker 1: your own doing like you trapped yourself into this by

1437
01:12:21,880 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 1: showing just how capable you are. So yeah, continued success,

1438
