35
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 2: two crazy legends in this businessship with him, and this

36
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 2: is really the first time they've ever ever had a

37
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: conversation like this.

38
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: So if I ever feel the need to like hang

39
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: out in a house, I can hop on Jeff Blue

40
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: to Phoenix and walk around for a few days.

41
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,559
Speaker 3: Jim, do you ever feel have you ever figured out

42
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 3: what the hell was going on with your father that

43
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 3: he couldn't love you?

44
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: No?

45
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 3: No, didn't want you? No, you never figured it out?

46
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 3: Was he an alcoholic? He was he? No?

47
00:01:59,800 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: No?

48
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 3: Do you think he just looked at you and just

49
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 3: just was like angry? Maybe he was jealous of you?

50
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: That's what's going on. We're gonna leave them now. But

51
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 2: I tell you, Howard Stern, without doubt, is the best

52
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 2: interviewer in the business. Without doubt. Do you can get

53
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,399
Speaker 2: things out of you that you never thought you would

54
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: tell anybody? Well, he's not afraid to. No, here's the thing.

55
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 2: Another thing, There's so many things. But anyway, we were

56
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 2: so proud of Jim. And this is quite a moment

57
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 2: to be in New York City doing radio, but to

58
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 2: be on for fifty years in one city. And if

59
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 2: you're not from here, maybe you're not familiar with Jim Kurk,

60
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 2: but you are familiar with Howard Stern. Howard Stern was

61
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 2: simply supposed to come on today and say congratulations. He's

62
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 2: turned this into like one of his Blue Ribbon interviews

63
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 2: with our friend Jim. I could not be more excited.

64
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 2: We were all just sitting here like, what, Oh, they're

65
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 2: talking about his dad kicking him out of the house

66
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 2: on a snowy night. And I had no idea.

67
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: None of us knew this.

68
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 2: No.

69
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: I don't think the people that worked with him might

70
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: have known this.

71
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: Found out that Jim lives in a tiny apartment that

72
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 2: just has a mattress. Ye, no stove, no stove. I've

73
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 2: got a microwave. Yes, some day being.

74
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: As good as some of the people that I listened

75
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: to on the radio as a kid. I realized that

76
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: that goal is an impossibility, but the goal continues to

77
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: allow me to be to strive to be the best

78
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: that I can be. And I had the opportunity in

79
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: life to meet some of those heroes of mine, and

80
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: the encouragement that they gave me was of incalculable importance.

81
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 3: When I look back on radio, I think about some

82
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 3: of the characters I met, like in the you know,

83
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 3: the seventies, the eighties, and especially the nineties, and it

84
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 3: was amazing how many disc jockeys I know who were

85
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 3: really good couldn't hold on to a job. They go

86
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 3: from radio market to radio market looking for a job,

87
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 3: and they were high as a kite. I mean, I

88
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 3: knew guys drinking cough medicine while they were on the air.

89
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 3: I knew guys who were completely high and messed up.

90
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 3: It was so many. Did you see a lot of

91
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 3: drug use as a guy on the radio.

92
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: No, And I think part of the reason for that

93
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: is because I always worked early in the morning. He

94
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: wasn't out at night late at night very often, unless

95
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: it was a personal appearance or something, so I wasn't

96
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: part of that world, you know. So here are these

97
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: two dancing like this. It's just incredible.

98
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: Again. Happy fiftieth New York City Anniversary to Jim Kerr

99
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 2: on with Howard Steering right now. He is pretty amazing,

100
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: pretty amazing. He's the best. He really is. You know,

101
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,560

102
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 2: worked with someone like this in your office building, but

103
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 2: Jim Kurr is our cheerleader. He will walk up and

104
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 2: down every single hallway. He knows almost every single name

105
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: of every single employee at iHeart and he always says,

106

109
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: like so complimentary.

110
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,200
