1
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: What's up? It's us on the side. Oh oh, I

2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: think this might be episode thirty.

3
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 2: Wow at us.

4
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: Actually, I'm not one hundred percent sure on that. I

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: should probably check that information before I just say it.

6
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: It feels right to me, Like I feel like I

7
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: remember logging episode twenty nine and writing twenty nine, but

8
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 1: it could have been for this night.

9
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 2: I actually like the fact that can you keep this

10
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 2: in just in case?

11
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: Like you if I'm gonna go check right now, but

12
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave it in anyway. Tell me something that's

13
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: on your mind, Diamond, Well, I go.

14
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: Look, well, I'm doing an overnight shift tonight, and I

15
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 2: value my sleep way too much to stay up all night,

16
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 2: even though I have to like do the overnight right,

17
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 2: so I usually go to bed around four pm. I

18
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 2: don't play that's file a Roson, Do not disturb okay,

19
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,319
Speaker 2: boom okay by five at least I'm knocked out.

20
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: How many people hit the notify anyway?

21
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 2: No one, Because i'mlike you, you everybody else in my

22
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 2: life is normal. I don't do that to you, right,

23
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 2: but you would. I would.

24
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: I do it to other people. I should do it

25
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: to you more often so that you are included in

26
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: the circle. Oh fun fact, this is not episode thirty.

27
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 2: Please tell me it's twenty eight, twenty nine.

28
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,279
Speaker 1: I'm not that stupid.

29
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 2: Oh it's it's my birthday episode? Then why this will

30
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 2: probably be No, won't be the last one before.

31
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: Dropping on Wednesday, August twenty first.

32
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so hard. No, I'm all the way off,

33
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: but yolo, so real quick.

34
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: A couple of things. I always say this, and I'll

35
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: say it again, and this is proof you are, I think,

36
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: the hardest working person.

37
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 3: Thank you.

38
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 2: So you are always.

39
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: Putting in time here. I don't know why, No, I

40
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: do know why. You're doing the right thing. It's a

41
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: good thing. But two, when you celebrate your birthday for

42
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: a month because you have a birthday month right all

43
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: of September or is it August twelfth to September twelfth.

44
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: And then October twelfth, I don't play. It's literally probably

45
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 2: all a fall because I don't stop. Follow is my favorite.

46
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 1: You know I'm not gonna celebrate that, right you can there, No,

47
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: absolutely not.

48
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 2: You're gonna be forced. Okay, So while we're on our trip,

49
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 2: I'm probably gonna tell people it's my birthday.

50
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: Okay, Oh that's right, because this is a big birthday

51
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: for you.

52
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,399
Speaker 2: We celebrate all year long. I don't think you understand

53
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,399
Speaker 2: the trips I listen. I don't know. Chase is probably

54
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 2: very upset with me because I've just been putting everything

55
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: on the card. Well, oh yeah, I hated myself. You

56
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: know whatever. You're borrowing the money from them, whatever, I

57
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,119
Speaker 2: live in life. Whatever, Man, where's the trip? So I'm

58
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: going to Arizona for my actual birthday. I'm doing a

59
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 2: wellness retreat.

60
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 4: So much fun.

61
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 2: I'm so excited.

62
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna have so much fun.

63
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, are you coming?

64
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: If I'm invited?

65
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 2: I think you want to be most definitely invited. And

66
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 2: I need to get a head count because I'm making souvenirs.

67
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you I'm so excited. Okay, uh yeah.

68
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 2: So I'm going there and then or we're going there

69
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 2: and then. Uh. For the next few months, I'm just

70
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 2: gonna be doing little things, like I'm thinking about planning

71
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 2: a trip to Chicago. I've been saying that I wanted

72
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 2: to go for a really long time. And then I'm

73
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 2: going to like Rowan Oak, Virginia, which wouldn't necessarily be

74
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 2: on my list, but we're going to celebrate my cousin's

75
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 2: husband's birthday. He doesn't know, but it's my birthday too.

76
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: So say you're gonna let someone else to celebrate.

77
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 2: No, but we're going to a Virginia Tech game, huge tailgate,

78
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. So you know you have a lot

79
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 2: of celebrations. Yeah, I'm excited.

80
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 5: It's great.

81
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: Okay.

82
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: Also, I'm thinking and I would like to know your

83
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: thoughts on this, and probably get Andrew and Josh too.

84
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: I feel like the next episode, episode thirty, actually is

85
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: episode thirty. I feel like we should do a little

86
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: quick like, hey, we're heading out on the road recap,

87
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: or do we just ignore while we're on vacation and

88
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: not do a podcast at all?

89
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: If we did an Instagram live instead that Wednesday.

90
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: Let me tell you what your little friend Andrew is

91
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: trying to do. Oh, this man wants to bring the

92
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: roadcaster and record an episode on the road. Okay, hold on,

93
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: hold on, I'm gonna get him, Andrew.

94
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 2: It's like what, Okay, he's coming, he's coming. Hi, he's

95
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,679
Speaker 2: actually running. Oh, you guys are matching today.

96
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: We've been matching a lot lately.

97
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 2: Loser burd Ernie over here with the strike.

98
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Andrew, Andrew came in sausages, sassy, I love it.

99
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 2: Okay.

100
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: So I just told Diamond that for the road trip,

101
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: you were thinking about maybe bringing the roadcaster and doing

102
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: a podcast on the road.

103
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 2: Yes, okay.

104
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: She immediately shut it down.

105
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 6: Okay, Well, then guess what it saw us on the

106
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 6: side with Gandhi and special guest Andrew.

107
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: And Josh and Josh unless Josh doesn't want to do it.

108
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 4: This is an ab situation and you can see yourself.

109
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 3: Out of it.

110
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 2: Against me.

111
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 4: Haha.

112
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: Wait, that's not your stuff. That was from like nineteen

113
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: seventy two.

114
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I use it on him.

115
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 4: Sorry.

116
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: Wait, okay, So Diamond, why do you not want to

117
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: do it?

118
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 2: First of all, you almost hit me with the microphone. Anyway,

119
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,679
Speaker 2: I just think that it's going to be a mess,

120
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 2: and it'll be fun because everything we do is a mess.

121
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 2: But I could just see tempers flaring, you know.

122
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 6: I think it'll be fun to do one or two,

123
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 6: maybe three little podcasts on the road, keeping listeners updated

124
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,679
Speaker 6: about our trip in a way that not only helps

125
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 6: Gandhi's podcast, but it helps our listeners get content while

126
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 6: we're on vacation. Sorry, I'm looking up for the show

127
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 6: and also for the better interest of Gandhi's podcast.

128
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 2: Okay, well, here's as producer.

129
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,559
Speaker 4: You might want to start doing the way.

130
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 2: Here's my question, who is editing it? You're putting all

131
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 2: that on Gandhi.

132
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 6: There's no editing. It's literally just guess what. This is

133
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 6: a sauce on the side on the road edition. We're

134
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 6: not editing it, and guess what. Whatever we say flies,

135
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 6: So good luck.

136
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 2: Okay, I like that.

137
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: Actually a lot of Russian Roulette we're playing over here.

138
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 4: It's going to be that crazy.

139
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 6: I think it would be fun.

140
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 4: I've done a lot.

141
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 6: I've done this before with podcasts on the road. It's

142
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 6: very simple. We don't Gandhi doesn't require much, so it'll

143
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:17,679
Speaker 6: be great.

144
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,239
Speaker 1: Sure, I don't know if I appreciate that Gandhi doesn't

145
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: require much thing. I'm gonna have to think about how

146
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 1: you meant that.

147
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 6: It means that you are easy to work with and

148
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 6: you would understand the on the fly method that we

149
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 6: would be using because it's for the best interest of

150
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 6: your show that it just needs to go up in

151
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 6: a timely manner, not that oh oh my god, should

152
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 6: be worried about taking this part out or editing this. No,

153
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 6: it's going to be twenty quick minutes of the four

154
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 6: of us talking, Oh my god, what do we do today?

155
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 6: Here's what we did? Upload boom done?

156
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 2: Who's bringing the mics? Me?

157
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 4: I have everything?

158
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: So that was the only thing that I said. I

159
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: was like, I just feel badly that you are going

160
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 1: to have to bring all this stuff with you, because

161
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure Andrew's like a carry on type too,

162
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: Like he just brings one bag and flies with it.

163
00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: But then if you have to bring that stuff.

164
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 4: Too, what you do, I'll be fine. I could bring

165
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 4: two you're allowed to.

166
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 6: I have my roller backpack which i'll put my roller

167
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 6: luggage that I could just throw the road caster in. Two.

168
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 4: I have the mics, and then we'll be good to go.

169
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: All right. I'm not appollosed to it, but I just

170
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: said I don't want to make everybody else have to

171
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: do this if that's not something that they want to do.

172
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 6: I think we just need to get the details hammered

173
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 6: out one, two, maybe three.

174
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 4: If we're feeling sassy, go for it.

175
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 6: And I think that would be really fun to give

176
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 6: people like an inside look to our trip while we're

177
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 6: on the road.

178
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 4: What do you think, producer Diamond?

179
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, amazing, great cheers.

180
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: No one can hear your eye roll on the microphone.

181
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just think that Andrew is such a loser.

182
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 2: But it's okay.

183
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 4: Sorry, I care about my job.

184
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Sorry, here we go, and so sorry. I

185
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 2: can't wait to never mind, I almost incriminated myself. Never mind,

186
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 2: we're gonna back up. What Yeah, I just can't wait

187
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 2: to put a pillow over his face while he's sleeping. Yeah,

188
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 2: scare them a little bit. I wouldn't kill you.

189
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 6: Well, guess what, you might not find the details out

190
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 6: about it because Diamond doesn't want to record while we're

191
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 6: on the trip. So sorry, guys, you'll just have to

192
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 6: hear about it after not in the moment.

193
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: If she tries to sulifocate you, I will go Instagram live.

194
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: That is my promise to everybody.

195
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 4: Okay, Oh, no, do we have the equipment, Diamond, do

196
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 4: we have the equipment to do that? Oh, she probably

197
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 4: doesn't want.

198
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 2: To Instagram live. Oh come on, babe, let's get it together.

199
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: I'm super excited to be on the road with this.

200
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: This is exciting. And Josh doesn't even hear yet. And

201
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: we know Josh is the most trouble of everybody.

202
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 2: I think it.

203
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: Josh.

204
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 2: Oh God, noise canceling headphones. So happy to have them,

205
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 2: so happy.

206
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: You don't want noise canceling headphones on a trail. You

207
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: want to hear the crackling of the branches when the

208
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: bear's coming.

209
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 2: Oh god, terrified, I'm terrified.

210
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 1: Thank you, Andrew, I appreciate it.

211
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 2: Get out, get out as you were.

212
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: What were you doing out there? I don't know what

213
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: were you doing out there? Son of the co party?

214
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 2: Oh?

215
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 3: I was just working.

216
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 4: Oh sorry, everywhere I go is the party.

217
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 2: Get out?

218
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: Bye bye, see you later.

219
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 5: Do you know it?

220
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 3: Okay?

221
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 2: Shall we talk about that? You want to talk about that? Sure?

222
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: Okay?

223
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 2: Pause.

224
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: First, let's bring in Jim Carr, who we all love,

225
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: because at the end of this episode there's something that

226
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: you have got to hear that Diamond believes.

227
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 2: Okay to Jim Kerr.

228
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: Okay, So I'm sitting with one of my favorite people

229
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: in this building. I don't know if you know that.

230
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: Did you know that, Jim?

231
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 3: No, I didn't know that.

232
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 5: You are.

233
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: I've said that to multiple people.

234
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 7: Thank you. I haven't heard that actually in a while.

235
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: Really yes, I don't believe that. We just celebrated. Everybody

236
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: celebrated you being on the air for fifty years in

237
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: New York City in March.

238
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 7: Right in the mornings, in New York mornings.

239
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 1: That's insane. Do you stop and pinch yourself, like, wow,

240
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 1: I've been I.

241
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 7: Went on the radio the first time when I was fourteen.

242
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 7: When I was nineteen, I was working in Chicago when

243
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 7: I was nineteen twenty, and then they transferred me to

244
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 7: New York to do the morning show on their radio

245
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 7: station that ABC owned at the time, WPLJ, which was,

246
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 7: you know, a rock station, current rock station. Classic rock

247
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 7: hadn't been invented yet because not enough time had gone by.

248
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 5: It was rock.

249
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 7: And my goal was to last a year and then

250
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 7: I could hold my head up high, go back to Michigan,

251
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 7: where I'm from, and spend the rest of my life

252
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,439
Speaker 7: bragging to my friends that I worked in New York once.

253
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 7: So that was the goal. It didn't work out the

254
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 7: way I planned.

255
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 1: No, you failed, Yeah, you failed it.

256
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 7: Failing fifty years later and still on the radio in

257
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 7: the morning in New York.

258
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: Did you have that voice when you were fourteen?

259
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 3: No?

260
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 7: Okay, no, Well I loved the radio. Okay, when I

261
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 7: was in the second grade, my teacher, Missus Douglas, took

262
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 7: our class in a field trip and we went to

263
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 7: WWJ AMFM and TV in downtown Detroit and it was

264
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 7: just really exciting, and I thought, Wow, grown ups can

265
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 7: have a job like this. This is where I want

266
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 7: to be. I mean, I didn't know what I wanted

267
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 7: to be. I just knew that that was what I loved.

268
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 7: I couldn't wait until adulthood. I just couldn't wait. And

269
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 7: when I was fourteen, I went around to several radio

270
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 7: stations in Detroit, you know, talk to people who worked there.

271
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 7: Some of the people there were very nice, let me,

272
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 7: you know, watch them work on the air, and talk

273
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 7: to some management people who gave me advice on what

274
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 7: courses to take and what I should learn. But that

275
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 7: was a long way off. I couldn't wait that long. Yeah,

276
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 7: So finally I picked up on my little transistor radio

277
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 7: a station in a town called Ipsilanti, Michigan, and it was,

278
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 7: you know, way at the end of the dial at

279
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 7: fifteen twenty. It was only on during the day, and

280
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 7: I thought to myself, maybe those little, tiny radio stations

281
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 7: can use someone like me. So I took the Greyhound

282
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 7: bus to Ipsilanti, and I met with their general manager,

283
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 7: and I guess he wanted to let the young kid

284
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 7: down gently, because he said, Oh, you can be on

285
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 7: the radio. We could probably find a place for you,

286
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 7: but we'll let you be on the radio for one

287
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,479
Speaker 7: hour if you can sell sixty.

288
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 3: Dollars worth of commercials.

289
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 7: Okay, if you sell one hundred and twenty dollars worth

290
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 7: of commercials, we'll let you be on for two hours,

291
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 7: and so on and so forth, and then I would

292
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 7: get a fifteen percent commission. Yeah, okay, I would get

293
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 7: a fifteen percent commission. And I expect that he thought

294
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 7: that would be the last that he would see me.

295
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 7: But every day after school I would either take the

296
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 7: bus or hitchhike to Ipsilanti, and I went to every

297
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 7: drug store and dry cleaner and real estate office and

298
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 7: diner and carpet store to try to sell these radio commercials.

299
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 7: And the commercials weren't very expensive, and I was going

300
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 7: to write them all so they didn't have to do anything.

301
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 7: So a couple of weeks went by, Oh, and a

302
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 7: lot of people did purchase the advertising for me. I

303
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 7: guess they wanted to help the little fourteen year old

304
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 7: kid walking around with a briefcase wearing a suit, not

305
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 7: a briefcase. So I went back to see mister Hadley

306
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 7: at the station and I said, okay, I've sold eight

307
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 7: hundred dollars worth of commercials.

308
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,479
Speaker 1: Eight hundred yes, okay.

309
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 3: So can I be on now?

310
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 7: And he said yes, and so on February eleventh, nineteen

311
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 7: sixty seven, I went on the air, and I've been

312
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 7: on the air ever since.

313
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: So two questions about what you just said. One, did

314
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: you ever go back and tell missus Douglas? Is that

315
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: what her name was?

316
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 7: I don't think I did.

317
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: No, you never told her no, okay? And do you

318
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: remember the first spots that you sold? What they were for?

319
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 7: The first spot I sold was four or the Gift Gallery,

320
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 7: which was in the basement concourse of the Westland shopping Center.

321
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 7: You know, they had different different gifts like frames for

322
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 7: your photographs, you.

323
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: Know, just yeah sort of stuff like tochkey type of stuff.

324
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, stuff like that.

325
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 7: And eventually they took over my advertising accounts, took them

326
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 7: away from me, and they started paying me. So I

327
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 7: was getting fifty bucks a week nineteen sixty seven, dollars.

328
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 7: I was in the eighth grade and junior high was.

329
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 4: Pretty good ball.

330
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: Were you really popular at school because of this?

331
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 3: No?

332
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: Did people know?

333
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 3: Yes?

334
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 7: Wow, But it wasn't It wasn't a radio station that

335
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 7: my schoolmates would be interested in listening to.

336
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 2: What kind of music was it?

337
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 7: My show when I first started was on Saturdays, and

338
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 7: I played you know, top forty, pop, rock, R and B.

339
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 7: But you know, it was kind of a mix and match.

340
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 7: It was a small town radio station. It wasn't a

341
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 7: Detroit market station. And then I'd come back into my

342
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 7: go to school world live in the suburbs of Detroit,

343
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 7: and it was like two different existences.

344
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: What did your parents think of all of this?

345
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 7: I can't say that they were real encouraging because I

346
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 7: just don't think they understood it.

347
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: Were the Indian that sounds familiar?

348
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 7: Why did you have a problem?

349
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: Of course?

350
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 7: Were they upset when you decided you were going.

351
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: To Absolutely they weren't. So they weren't outwardly upset because

352
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: they wanted to be supportive. But my dad, I was

353
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: so excited when I got the job, and my dad said, oh,

354
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: this is amazing. I hope it doesn't detract you from

355
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: pursuing your real aspirations and finding a real career.

356
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 7: And I was like, and what did your dad what

357
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 7: did what did he think your career should be?

358
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: Well, of course they would have loved me to be

359
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: a doctor of some sort a position or a surgeon.

360
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: But everybody else in the family did that.

361
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 7: Okay, so you should talk to Carol Miller sometimes. Yeah,

362
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 7: and her younger sister became a physician.

363
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: My older sister became her practitioner, so you know what

364
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: that was like, Yes, thank god for the other sibling.

365
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: But your parents were not super excited about it.

366
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 7: No, because it seemed like just you know, a kid,

367
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 7: you know, doing something weird, and how long will it last?

368
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: Was there ever a point that they said, Okay, we

369
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: see what you're doing.

370
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 7: Well, not really, because well my mom died when I

371
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 7: was still a teenager, and then my dad we were estranged,

372
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 7: and you know.

373
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: So so there's never been a circle back with any

374
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: of this. Let me tell you something, Jim, I tried

375
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: to research you online. You are elusive, like Bigfoot, even

376
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: our own companies. I went to your radio station's website.

377
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 2: There's no bio.

378
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: There's a picture of you and your co host there's

379
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: no bio. The only place I found even a little

380
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: blurb was from the Broadcasters Hall of Fame announcement. I

381
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,360
Speaker 1: believe the Radio Hall of Fame, Radio Hall of Fame,

382
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: Radio Hall of Fame. Yes, I saw that there, and

383
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: it was two sentences that I already knew. I'm like

384
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: this guy, Jim, he must have a book. You don't

385
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: have a book. Are you going to write a book?

386
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 7: No, I'm not going to write.

387
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: Why you have so many stories? I promise people would

388
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: want to hear. Why no book?

389
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 7: Well, if people want to hear stories that I tell,

390
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 7: they can turn on the radio.

391
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: Where would they find you?

392
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 7: Jim at one oh four point three on the FM

393
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 7: Island New York or on the free iHeartRadio app. iHeartRadio

394
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 7: even provides me with my wardrobe. I see that I'm

395
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 7: wearing company issued clothing today.

396
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 1: Fun fact, Jim is on at the same time we're on,

397
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 1: so at the moment, I'm promoting competition, you know.

398
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 7: But the great thing, one of the great things about

399
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 7: working here is that you know we're all together, We're

400
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 7: all playing in the same band. We had a little

401
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 7: problem with my show this morning because of a technical

402
00:17:55,200 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 7: difficulty that caused Shelley Sunstein to be unable to be

403
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 7: on our show after the first hour. There was a

404
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 7: technical failure. She was working from home. I had on

405
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 7: my show this morning, DJ ANDV from Power and one

406
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 7: oh five point one. Okay, we ran down the hall

407
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 7: to the twenty four to seven newsroom and grabbed Jacqueline

408
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 7: Carl to come in and do the news. But the

409
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:26,360
Speaker 7: fact is, you know, we're often participating in one another's shows.

410
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 3: Here.

411
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 7: It's cool and it's fun, and it's a nice group

412
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 7: of people.

413
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: One of the things that I was very surprised by

414
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 1: when I came here and you are part of this,

415
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: was how welcoming and kind everybody was, because places that

416
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: I had been previous to this that was not the same.

417
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: So I thought, when I get to New York City, Oh,

418
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 1: it's going to be the worst. They're going to be

419
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: so full of themselves because it's the top of the mountain.

420
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 1: And this was the smoothest transition. And you were one

421
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: of the people who was nice to me first and

422
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: made me feel very comfortable. I think I've told you

423
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: this before. You remind me of somebody who I used

424
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: to work with, who I love very much. He was

425
00:18:58,200 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: the host of the first show that I was part

426
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 1: of in Columbus, Ohio. I still talk to him all

427
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: the time, but every time I see you, I just

428
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: want to squeeze you because you remind me of Dave

429
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 1: and you are kind to me like Dave.

430
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 7: What did you like Columbus, Ohio?

431
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 2: I did?

432
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 3: Okay?

433
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 7: I just want you to know and this, you know,

434
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 7: this hopefully will not shatter our relationship. But I worked

435
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 7: in ann Arbor.

436
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: Yeah I knew it. Yeah, that's fine, that's fine. It

437
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: will not shatter our relationship because you can't change the best.

438
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 7: Well, you must have been so excited when when you

439
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 7: came to New York and joined Elvis Duran and the

440
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 7: Morning Show. Most of your predecessors in the role that

441
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 7: you assumed moved on to shows of their own. Is

442
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 7: that a goal for you someday if I have to,

443
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 7: I'm talking about a goal for the future. Or do

444
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 7: you like being part of the ensemble? Well, of course

445
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 7: you love being part of the ensemble because you know

446
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 7: you're an important part of it and it's lots of fun.

447
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 7: But you know, in your own aspirational mode, would you

448
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 7: like the Gandhi show?

449
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 1: Ah? I see what you're doing here, by the way,

450
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 1: flipping the interview on me, You're good at that gym.

451
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 1: But I really enjoy being part of a group with

452
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 1: other people. I like playing off of other people. Some

453
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: of my favorite podcast episodes that I do because this

454
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: is technically me branching out and doing my own thing.

455
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: I love when I can include Diamond and Andrew and

456
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 1: we can have conversations together. Of course, I love interviewing

457
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: guests and talking to them, but the dynamic of being

458
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: with other people, I really enjoy that. So what I

459
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,959
Speaker 1: like the money that comes from it. Just being myself, sure,

460
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 1: but no, I really like this. I enjoy it.

461
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 7: But you know, you know Diamond, speaking of Diamond, Yes,

462
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:39,719
Speaker 7: Diamond is a gem here on this floor because all

463
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 7: of us get up really early. I probably get up

464
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 7: a little earlier than you because my show starts at five,

465
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 7: So I get up at three and I come in

466
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 7: here to work. And every morning, no matter what, Diamond

467
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 7: has the biggest, warmest smile. You know, it just makes

468
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 7: you feel good when she says good morning to you all.

469
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 3: You know.

470
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: For the record, Diamond is sitting here being very quiet.

471
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: Would you like to say anything about that?

472
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 5: Ms?

473
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:08,959
Speaker 1: Cooper, there she is.

474
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 7: Thanks Jim, But you know what I'm talking about. You know,

475
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 7: you could end up. I've worked at places where you

476
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 7: walk in and people are grumpy. Oh yeah, you know.

477
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 7: I come in here and she's one of the first

478
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 7: people I see, because she arrives here, you know, before

479
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 7: the show goes on the air.

480
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: Oftentimes she does overnights.

481
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 7: Yes, yeah, yes, But I love the radio, and I've

482
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 7: been so fortunate and so lucky to be able to,

483
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 7: you know, actually make a living doing what I love

484
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 7: so much. Because I now this may sound a little strange,

485
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 7: you know, maybe I should be talking to a therapist

486
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,719
Speaker 7: about this instead of talking to you about it.

487
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 3: Gandhi, I mean it.

488
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 7: But I really honestly believe that I have about a

489
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 7: million friends. I really do. I love the people who listen,

490
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 7: and I care about them. I want to be a

491
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 7: good companion. I want to help wake them up in

492
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 7: a good mood. I am so appreciative if they're listening

493
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,360
Speaker 7: in the morning, while they're getting dressed, or while they're

494
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 7: driving to the train station, overnight, workers coming home, whatever

495
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 7: it is, the fact that they've allowed me to be

496
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 7: a part of their life just makes me feel fantastic.

497
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 7: Every once in a while, you know, because there's a

498
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 7: certain anonymity to.

499
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: Radio until you open your mouth and people are like,

500
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: I know that.

501
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 7: Every once in a while, something weird happens that makes

502
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 7: you feel really good inside. And I was on an

503
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 7: elevator earlier this week. I was wearing a T shirt

504
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 7: that I bought that says raised on radio. Okay, So

505
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 7: that was what the T shirt said, It said raised

506
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 7: on radio, And there was like a little drawing of

507
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 7: a radio okay. And there were two women and two

508
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 7: men and a little boy and a stroller. So I

509
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 7: got on the elevator and the little boy looked at

510
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 7: me and went and I said, why, thank you so much,

511
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 7: and how are you doing today?

512
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 3: And he said wow.

513
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 7: And then I said that's about the most enthusiastic greeting

514
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 7: that I've received in a long long time. And then

515
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 7: one of the women said, looking at my shirt, you

516
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 7: sound like a radio.

517
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: Did you tell it?

518
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 7: And I said I do, and she said yes, and

519
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 7: I said, well, I work on the radio. And then

520
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 7: one of the men said what's your name? And I

521
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 7: told them my name, and then the other woman said,

522
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,959
Speaker 7: I'm sixty five years old. I've been listening to you

523
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 7: every day since I was fifteen years old. She said,

524
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 7: you have been a part of my life that long,

525
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 7: and well, I'm getting teary eyed.

526
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: It's so true. You think you have a million friends.

527
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 1: All those million people probably think you're their friend too.

528
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,479
Speaker 1: Imagine fifty years of somebody's life, what that woman has

529
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: been through. You've been the constant through that.

530
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 7: That's a great thing and it just makes me feel

531
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 7: really good. And you know, it's one of the motivating factors,

532
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 7: you know, to live a life where you get up

533
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 7: at three o'clock in the morning.

534
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: So let's talk about that. You get it at three

535
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning. You're here, your show ends at nine, which,

536
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: by the way, I appreciate you staying so much later

537
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: to do the show with me today. Thank you for that.

538
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 7: Well, Gandhi, I would be here if it was five

539
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 7: in the afternoon.

540
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: As you say, then I'll take you up on the

541
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: offer one day. And by the way, I'm going to

542
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: start greeting you with a whack every time I see you.

543
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 1: Since you liked it, but well I liked.

544
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 7: It from the little kid in the stroller. It would

545
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 7: be weird for me if it was if it was

546
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 7: if it was an adult woman looking at me and

547
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 7: doing that, that would be maybe a little a little crazy.

548
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: We'll find out, Jim, We'll find out. But you get

549
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 1: it at three. You're done here at nine. What is

550
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 1: the rest of your day like, because again you are elusive.

551
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 7: Well, I do a lot of other things.

552
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 3: I do volunteer. I do some volunteer work.

553
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:51,719
Speaker 2: Do it.

554
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 7: What do you do well? I've been on the board

555
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 7: of directors of Heartshire Human Services of New York for

556
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 7: I don't know, almost forty years. It's one of New

557
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 7: York's largest social service agencies, and it has a subsidiary agency,

558
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 7: HeartShare Wellness, which it provides medical services to people with

559
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 7: developmental disabilities who find it difficult to be served properly

560
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 7: in a normal physician's office. And some patients are nonverbal,

561
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 7: for instance, so they need specialized medical care. I'm chairman

562
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:34,719
Speaker 7: of the board of that organization. I'm also active in

563
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 7: our union. I'm vice president of the New York local

564
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 7: of Sagafterra. I'm on the national board of Sagafterra. I'm

565
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 7: actually overextended to tell you the truth.

566
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 2: But I believe it.

567
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: I just want to know what it is because but.

568
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 7: I try to do things. Oh and I'm on the

569
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 7: board of directors of the Sagafter Foundation, which is separate

570
00:25:54,000 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 7: from the union, and we provide catastrophic medical care for

571
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 7: our stag after members. I could think of some more stuff.

572
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: I bet you could. I want to hear all of it, though,

573
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 1: because when I think about what is cool, things have

574
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: changed so much, and I think so many people try

575
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: all day to prove to you that I'm real cool.

576
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 1: Especially with social media, people post all day what they're doing,

577
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: what they're eating, where they're going.

578
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 7: Well, I've never been cool, not from you.

579
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: To me, you're the definition of cool.

580
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 7: No, not from one single day of my life.

581
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: If I was going to think of somebody who is cool,

582
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: I'd be like Jim Carl, He's a cool guy.

583
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 2: Absolutely, you've been Well, there's a difference.

584
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 7: You can say, oh, somebody's a cool guy. No, I

585
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 7: mean that doesn't mean someone's cool.

586
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 1: I mean like the emoji with the sunglasses.

587
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 7: No no, no, no no no no no.

588
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: It can't make me change my mind. That is what

589
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:44,959
Speaker 1: I think. Back to this book that you're never going

590
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: to write. I'm not going to try and force it

591
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 1: on you. However, now I'm going to harass you a

592
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:49,919
Speaker 1: lot more because I know that you are just a

593
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: vault of cool stories. The guests that you have to

594
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 1: have interviewed over fifty years in New York City radio,

595
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: the things you have to have done and been part

596
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: of the parties. I want to know all of that.

597
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 7: Well, there used to be a lot more parties.

598
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: I heard. I heard the cocaine used to arrive in envelopes.

599
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 7: I know nothing about that. And I you know, that's

600
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 7: another thing. I you know, when the cool kids were

601
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 7: getting into the whole that whole thing, I never did.

602
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm really rather conservative kind of guy. Yeah,

603
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 7: not even one time ever put in a legal drug

604
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 7: into my system.

605
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 1: Now once you've never even smoked weed, Well now it's legal.

606
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 7: No, now it's legal enough.

607
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 3: It's legal.

608
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 7: And I hate the smell. I smoke cigarettes. I drink

609
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 7: way too much coffee. Cabinet is delicious. I don't need

610
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 7: to put anything else into my body that I might

611
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 7: potentially enjoy too much. So it's best just to all

612
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 7: not try it. Right, I have fun all the time.

613
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 7: I mean there are things I don't.

614
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 1: Understand, though, What don't you understand?

615
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 7: Okay, the radio station I work at Q one oh

616
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:01,040

Speaker 7: the New York market. Congratulations, well, thank you, But we're

624
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 7: the station begins in nineteen sixty four, and the popularity

625
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 7: of that music among people who are so young fascinates

626
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 7: me because in nineteen sixty four, when I was eleven

627
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 7: and saw the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show on

628
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 7: a Sunday night and went to school the next day,

629
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 7: and the whole world had changed. We weren't listening to

630
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 7: songs that were hits in nineteen o four.

631
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: Were there recordings of those songs that were being played

632
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: on the radio. No, okay, so we'll start there. It

633
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: was different. Things are different now. I think everything old

634
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,479
Speaker 1: is new again. But anymore, I don't want to say

635
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: we've reached the end of creativity because that obviously is

636
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: never going to happen, but it does seem like so

637
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: many people are going back to the well and sampling things.

638
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: People like some of the stuff their parents listen to,

639
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: and their parents might be listening to what their parents

640
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: listen to. So you hear these things and it feels

641
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: nice and nostalgic, and it's cool to have that stuff

642
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: that was the.

643
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 7: Original, right, except that we don't say we're in nostalgic

644
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 7: radio station. No, of course we don't say, because we

645
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 7: don't say nineteen sixty seven Solid Gold, here's Van Morris.

646
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 7: They No, we don't do that. We just play the

647
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 7: music because it's good. And you know, when I play

648
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 7: House of the Rising Sun by the Animals, that's sixty

649
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 7: years ago.

650
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: When you're naming these songs, I'm immediately thinking of movies.

651
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: Where have I have heard those songs? And I wonder

652
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: if that's a part of it too.

653
00:29:55,160 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 3: It could be.

654
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 7: About as many people listen to the radio now as

655
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 7: listen decades ago. It's just that, because there are so

656
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 7: many other things going on, they listen for shorter periods

657
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 7: of time. Okay, but they're still there and they're still

658
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 7: with us, and we do have something very very special. Gandhi,

659
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 7: you and me, we have something very special that competitors

660
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 7: for people's time don't necessarily have. You know, Spotify has

661
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 7: its place in the world, and Pandora has its place

662
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 7: in the world. But Pandora can't be your friend. No,

663
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 7: I can be your friend.

664
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: I think that as a part the personalities. You don't

665
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: get those when.

666
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 7: You stream, and that's a fundamental difference. If you're just

667
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 7: streaming something that's coming just to you, it's you're alone

668
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 7: with the radio on. Not only do you have the

669
00:30:55,240 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 7: human that's on the radio who's a companion, but there

670
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 7: are thousands of other people who you don't even know,

671
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 7: who are experiencing the same thing at the same time.

672
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 7: So it's not a solitary experience. It's kind of a

673
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 7: group experience in an unusual kind of way. It gives

674
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 7: you kind of a psychic connection to a whole community

675
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 7: of people who like the same things that you do.

676
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 7: And I think that's part of the beautiful magic of radio.

677
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 7: If it were invented today, people would be freaking out

678
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 7: over it, going this is amazing. I think your rus

679
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 7: is fantastic. It's free, it's portable, it's really cool. Who

680
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 7: came up with this great idea and it's consistent.

681
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: You sell radio short when you don't realize that every

682
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: day you're getting new content, original content from people who

683
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: are there every day and show up consistently. You also

684
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: don't get that in a lot of other places. Even

685
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: TV shows, there's a season and then they take a

686
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: really long time off and a ton of people put

687
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: a lot of effort into that to curate something very pacific,

688
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: and you kind of know what you're going to get.

689
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: With radio. You don't know what you're going to get.

690
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: You didn't know that Shelley Sunstein wasn't going to be

691
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: able to show up today.

692
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 7: No, I had no idea.

693
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: But on the fly you made it work.

694
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 7: But we're here in real time. That's another thing. I

695
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 7: look out, you know, I may I may have a

696
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 7: piece of paper in front of me. I know, maybe

697
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 7: you use a computer screen, but I like paper. I

698
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 7: may have a piece of paper in front of me

699
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 7: that says sunshine today, high eighty two. And I may

700
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 7: look out the window and see that it's raining, so yes,

701
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 7: so I can fix it right then and there. You know,

702
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 7: the immediacy of the immediacy of it is. I think

703
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 7: one of its great advantages, and if something really important

704
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 7: happens that will impact people in a significant way, we

705
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 7: can inform them of that immediately.

706
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: So to that point, moments for you that stand out

707
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: in your mind as far as I was on the

708
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: radio when this happened, tell me.

709
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 7: About John Lennon's assassination. That was December eighth, nineteen eighty

710
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 7: the Monday night football was on with Howard Cosell. I

711
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 7: had the radio on to my station, WPLJ. I was

712
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 7: just getting ready to go to bed and ABC News

713
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 7: but Looking came on saying that he had been shot

714
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 7: taken to Roosevelt Hospital, and the newscaster used this term

715
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 7: where he expired. So I put my clothes back on

716
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 7: and I went back to the radio station and we

717
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 7: spent all night calling people up and calling people who

718
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 7: knew John Lennon, and putting together a special show for

719
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 7: the next morning, which was my birthday.

720
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 3: So that was the year I had no birthday.

721
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 7: And we were able to mourn together as a community

722
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 7: that day.

723
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: That's a very big deal, and I'm sure that that

724
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: brings comfort to not only you, all the other people

725
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:48,959
Speaker 1: that get to do it with you. Because to your point,

726
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: you're all doing this one thing at the same time,

727
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: and now we talk about this on the Big Show

728
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: all the time. Loneliness is an epidemic. People are so lonely.

729
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: The more access you have to so much wh content,

730
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,959
Speaker 1: so many different people, the more isolating somehow things have become.

731
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: And it's great to be able to share that with people.

732
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 1: So pieces of advice to the young baby DJs who

733
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:15,919
Speaker 1: want to follow in your footsteps and do things like you, Well,

734
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 1: what do you tell them? We have interns here right now.

735
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: I know what do you tell them?

736
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,240
Speaker 7: I tell them not to be discouraged. Believing in yourself

737
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 7: is probably the most important thing of all, because if

738
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 7: you believe in yourself, that will give you the confidence

739
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 7: to go forward and to try to experience the realization

740
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 7: of your dreams. And if you fail on that journey,

741
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 7: you learn some things along the way, and you had

742
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:42,760
Speaker 7: some fun along the way.

743
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: So for you, do you feel like you've lived your dream?

744
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 7: I'm living it every day. I lived it this morning,

745
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:48,479
Speaker 7: I lived at a couple of hours ago.

746
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:49,280
Speaker 1: It's amazing.

747
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 3: I live it.

748
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 7: When I walk by your window of your studio here

749
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 7: and wave at you in the morning.

750
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: Don't hype us up man, You're the cool one in

751
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: the building, I'm telling you. So, as far as guests go,

752
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: do you have a favorite or favorites? Do you have

753
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:03,720
Speaker 1: people that came in and blew your mind?

754
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 7: Well? Yes, and I've had all different types of guests,

755
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 7: rock stars, and I've had country stars, and I've had

Speaker 7: and movies, TV stars and movie stars.

Speaker 1: I need names, any names that have blown your mind

759
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 1: in good ways, and maybe somebody who came in that

760
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:25,720
Speaker 1: you were like, please leave the studio.

761
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 7: I've met John Paul and George.

762
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 2: Wow.

763
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 7: Okay, okay, but I've actually met four Beatles because I

764
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 7: met John, Paul, George, and Pete.

765
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: He was the original that got kicked out and replaced

766
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: with Ringo.

767
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 2: Right, okay, right.

768
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 3: I never met Ringo.

769
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 7: I was in a room with Ringo once, but I

770
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,839
Speaker 7: on purpose didn't meet him because I wanted to still

771
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:51,320
Speaker 7: have one that I hadn't met. Okay, if you understand,

772
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 7: if you understand what I mean, Smokey Robinson was over

773
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 7: at our sister station, Power one of five point one

774
00:35:58,200 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 7: one day.

775
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 3: I heard that he was on the floor.

776
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 7: I went running down there like a maniac. I didn't

777
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,320
Speaker 7: have him on my show, but I just wanted to

778
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 7: meet him. You know, one of the greatest I mean,

779
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 7: besides a great performer, one of the greatest songwriters of

780
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 7: all time. I'm still trying to figure out how a

781
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 7: guy like Smokey Robinson can write a song like My

782
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 7: Girl and give it away to somebody else. He wrote

783
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 7: My Girl and gave it to the Temptations. I mean,

784
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 7: whoa talk about selfless? Yeah, I mean that is really

785
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 7: really amazing. I've met for presidents of the United States.

786
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 2: Wow.

787
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 7: I mean, this job allows you access to people.

788
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 4: From all different walks of life, really does.

789
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,439
Speaker 7: I can't say to you that I have a ton

790
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 7: of celebrity friends. I do have some celebrity friendly acquaintances.

791
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 7: You know, it's fun to see somebody on TV that

792
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 7: you know, or you know, go to a movie and see.

793
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 3: Somebody you know.

794
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 1: Speaking of that, I've said this to you before. The

795
00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,919
Speaker 1: Sopranos is one of my favorite shows of all time.

796
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,479
Speaker 1: It might be my favorite show of all time.

797
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 7: It certainly it certainly was during it. Well, actually it

798
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 7: kind of ignited a certain golden age of television.

799
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 1: Well I watched it after it had been out.

800
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 2: That's because you're so young, or I was just really.

801
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: Out of it with TV and paying attention to other things.

802
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: But I loved it, and I rewatch it all the time.

803
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: It is like the background noise in my apartment when

804
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 1: I'm there. Diamond recently just watched it, and I think,

805
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: did you like it?

806
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 2: Just it?

807
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 1: She loved it, But in the last episode. I didn't

808
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: realize it until I was rewatching it. Here you opened

809
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:38,479
Speaker 1: the last episode of that show.

810
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 7: Yes, I'm a trivia question. Who spoke the first words

811
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 7: on the very last episode of The Sopranos.

812
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 3: That would be me?

813
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: I know that guy.

814
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 7: That would be me.

815
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: Oh my god. When I heard Jim Kerr the voice

816
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,720
Speaker 1: of New York, Oh my gosh, it was so cool.

817
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 1: I just thought, how how did that even happen?

818
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 7: I didn't what was I didn't know that it was

819
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 7: going to be used that way. I recorded that for them.

820
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 7: They didn't record that off the air. Oh wow, you

821
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 7: know they had me record that for them. My assumption was, well,

822
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 7: first of all, anything can end up not being in

823
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 7: an episode, and I didn't know that it would be

824
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:19,399
Speaker 7: in the finale, And I assumed that maybe people would

825
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,760
Speaker 7: be driving somewhere, and maybe two people would be talking

826
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 7: to one another in the car and in the background

827
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 7: you might hear that coming through the radio. I mean

828
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 7: that's what I thought. So I watched it alone. Had

829
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 7: I known, you know, I would.

830
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 3: Have had a party.

831
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 1: I think we should have the party.

832
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 7: I've watched it alone. I was sitting on the couch

833
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 7: in my apartment turning on the last episode of The Sopranos,

834
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:49,800
Speaker 7: and I see the opening scene of Tony and his

835
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 7: hat on the pillow. It's shot from above as he's

836
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 7: in bed, and the alarm clock radio clicks on, and

837
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 7: there's my poet, just so cool.

838
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 1: I freaked out, did you what does a Jim car

839
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 1: freak out?

840
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 7: Well, there was nobody there to witness me freaking. I'm

841
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:12,280
Speaker 7: just it's like, what, you know, not saying it out loud,

842
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,800
Speaker 7: but saying it internally. It was just why didn't anybody

843
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,240
Speaker 7: tell me it was going to be so prominently featured,

844
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 7: because literally I would have had some people over to

845
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 7: watch TV with me.

846
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: Because what a moment. I mean, I did the same

847
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: thing when I realized it was you. I was like, what,

848
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I see him every day. This is

849
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: so cool. And then I said something to you the

850
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: next day.

851
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 7: And you know, during the run of the and during

852
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 7: the run of The Sopranos, a lot of the cast

853
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 7: members were very regular guests on my show, and I

854
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 7: knew a whole bunch of them through the charity work

855
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 7: that I do. Because for an ensemble group of actors,

856
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 7: so many of them were involved in so many charitable events.

857
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 7: I mean, it was pretty incredible. I would see them

858
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 7: all over the place. I mean, the show, what they're talking,

859
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 7: I mean, it's just you know, they were the hottest

860
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:03,800
Speaker 7: show on TV.

861
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 1: Some people say they are still one of the hottest

862
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: shows ever to have existed. I'm one of those people.

863
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 1: It's still very significant. I think it is one of

864
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 1: the shows that has actually aged well. And what a

865
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: great episode to be part of. Debatively one of the

866
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: craziest season finales series finales of all time. Were you

867
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: surprised by the ending?

868
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 3: Yes?

869
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, and so was Steve Perry.

870
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 1: Oh well yeah, because that song then had a resurgence right.

871
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 7: Well, well, once again, he knew that they were going

872
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 7: to use the song on the show, but he didn't

873
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 7: know how it was going to be used. And the

874
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 7: fact that it like.

875
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 1: Abrupt please it's been twenty five years.

876
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 7: No, just the the abrupt, and he didn't know it

877
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 7: was going to be the ending. He didn't know it

878
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,359
Speaker 7: was going to be abrupt like that, just cut off

879
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:52,240
Speaker 7: and the screen goes dark and leaves the whole world

880
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 7: hanging wondering what happened. And it was fun. It was

881
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,399
Speaker 7: fun when I when I last time I had him

882
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 7: on the show, we were talking about how I was

883
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 7: the first voice on the last episode and he was

884
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 7: the last voice on the last episode.

885
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: So Diamond, when she rewatched it, will you come over

886
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 1: here to microphone for a second. Thank you? She watched it,

887
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 1: and I was telling her, this is my favorite show.

888
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: You have to watch it. And then I had her

889
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:22,800
Speaker 1: face time me as it was ending, because I wanted

890
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: to watch her reaction to how it ended, and I

891
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: recorded it. What are your thoughts, No, all these months,

892
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,439
Speaker 1: actually years at this point later, how do you feel

893
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 1: about the end?

894
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:36,240
Speaker 2: I'm still heartbroken because it lets my like they left

895
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 2: way too much room from my mind to wander as

896
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,280
Speaker 2: to what happened, like why couldn't I see the gory stuff?

897
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: Well? At this point, again spoiler alert on the way.

898
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:48,439
Speaker 1: At this point, David Chase has said how it ended.

899
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 2: Well, he's implied, but I want to see him like

900
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 2: slumped over in the you know, I want to see it.

901
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 2: I want to see Willow's face. Is her name Willow Meadow, Meadow.

902
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 2: I want to see Meto's face when she like runs

903
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:02,839
Speaker 2: over there, like I want to see that.

904
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: They did a really good job of building that anticipation.

905
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 1: But Diamond's face at the end of it, she said,

906
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:08,240
Speaker 1: wait it cut off.

907
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 2: Wait it just no.

908
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, have you been part of other TV shows, movies?

909
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:17,760
Speaker 1: I would imagine what that voice. You've been in some stuff.

910
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 7: Well, I've been on you know, television, You've been on television. Really,

911
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 7: I was on As the World Turns, I was on

912
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 7: The Guiding Lights Go On.

913
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,320
Speaker 2: And what was your character? What were your characters?

914
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 7: Well, in As the World Turns, I was a flower

915
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 7: vendor selling flowers to somebody just before they got.

916
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: Killed, like the Merchant of Death.

917
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 7: Well, somebody asked me just to do that as a favor, Okay,

918
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 7: so I did that. But then the Guiding Light thing

919
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 7: was a tie in with my radio station that I

920
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 7: worked at at the time, and they created a character

921
00:42:59,560 --> 00:42:59,840
Speaker 7: for me.

922
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 3: It was very easy.

923
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 7: You know, actors are extraordinarily talented people. How they do

924
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:09,839
Speaker 7: what they do is kind of beyond my comprehension. How

925
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 7: they really embody a character that's different from their own

926
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 7: and do it so convincingly. It takes a great deal

927
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 7: of talent to do that that I don't have. The

928
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 7: writer was for writers were kind enough to me to

929
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 7: create a character named Jim who was going into the

930
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 7: bar to talk to some of his friends, sit down

931
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,839
Speaker 7: to have a drink, chat up a very beautiful young

932
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 7: woman and get the brush off. So I didn't have

933
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,240
Speaker 7: to do any acting. It was just like the most

934
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,359
Speaker 7: normal thing in the world. And everybody thought that it

935
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 7: was so convincing, but it was just you know, life, just.

936
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,320
Speaker 1: You and you pull it off me. So we should

937
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:56,399
Speaker 1: add soap opera star to your resume. No, yes, I'm

938
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 1: going to it's happening. You know what I'm going to

939
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 1: do because there's another Jim Kerr. I'm sure you know this,

940
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,839
Speaker 1: a singer. Oh yeah, yeah, And I'm steal in all

941
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: of the bios everywhere.

942
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 7: We ruined each other. We ruin each other's Google searches.

943
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 7: He ruined it for me, and we've joked about that together.

944
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 7: The two of us he's a really nice guy. He's

945
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 7: the guy who sang don't you forget about me? Simple minds? Oh,

946
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 7: and that was in the Breakfast Club. It was the

947
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 7: theme actually, the big song from that movie. And Trevor,

948
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 7: producer of my show, gave chat Gpt the instructions to

949
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 7: generate a bio for me, and it had my birthday right,

950
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 7: and it had that I was born in Detroit, Michigan.

951
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:44,800
Speaker 7: And the bio mentioned that I hosted a morning radio

952
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 7: show in New York City. And then the bio went

953
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 7: on to say a Scottish rock and roll band that

954
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 7: tours the world.

955
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 1: I believe, honestly, if I saw that about you, I'd

956
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:55,359
Speaker 1: be like, I think you probably did that.

957
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 7: But that's what I mean, that's what AI created from

958
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 7: my biograph.

959
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:02,399
Speaker 1: I'm going to create one for you because now I've

960
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 1: gotten a little bit of information. He's never going to

961
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 1: write a book. He's a soap opera star. You're going

962
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 1: to put all of these things together. Do you have

963
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 1: a I'm sure you have many, But before I let

964
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 1: you go, because I know that you need to go,

965
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 1: do you have a highlight one thing when you think

966
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 1: about your radio career or your life, something that has

967
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:21,439
Speaker 1: been able to put a smile on your face every

968
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 1: time you think about it.

969
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 7: You know, so many things go through my head. I

970
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 7: would I would say being at my son's wedding, that

971
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 7: was good. You know, raised him and there he was

972
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 7: getting married, and that that.

973
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 3: Was a good That was a real good feeling.

974
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 7: And you can't conjure those kind of feelings up. They

975
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 7: just happen, and this is then they become great memories.

976
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 1: Whenever people describe you, because I've asked people about you,

977
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 1: it is always using the most glowing terms. The one

978
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 1: I hear the most is he is a gentleman, he

979
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 1: is a gem, he is a national treasure. He has

980
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 1: all of these things. And when you say you've had

981
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 1: a fifty year career in radio with all these amazing highlights,

982
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,399
Speaker 1: Howard Stern interviewed you. We listened to it and here

983
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 1: while that was happening, it was amazing, by the way,

984
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 1: and the highlight of your life is watching your son

985
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 1: get married. That says everything you need to know about

986
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 1: Jim Carr the coolest. Well, thank you, thank you, thanks

987
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: for sitting with me. Jim. I appreciate it. And guess

988
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 1: what now I'm gonna come down there and Bucky way.

989
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 7: More anytime you want.

990
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:33,720
Speaker 5: Why, Okay, don't we love him?

991
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 2: Oh he's the best person ever. I just I could

992
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 2: hug him. But I've never hugged him.

993
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 1: You've never hugged him. No, you know I did hug him.

994
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 1: I hugged him at the end of the podcast. I

995
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 1: made him hugg me. Yeah, I made him.

996
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:44,840
Speaker 2: Love him.

997
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 1: I already excited. But I feel like he's just cool and.

998
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 2: He doesn't brag at all. He's very humble. You would

999
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 2: never know all of the things that he does outside

1000
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:53,319
Speaker 2: of here. I love that.

1001
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 1: Oh I forgot. I want to have Scotty inim because

1002
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:58,720
Speaker 1: when we were doing this, Scotty's little lass was standing

1003
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:01,839
Speaker 1: outside like waving at us, which he knows you don't

1004
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 1: wave at people when they're recording. And I didn't really

1005
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:05,319
Speaker 1: know what he was talking. I didn't know what he

1006
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,800
Speaker 1: was doing, what he was talking about. He texted Diamond

1007
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: that he wanted to come into the interview because Jim

1008
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 1: Carr is the only reason that he's in radio, and

1009
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: I feel really bad that I miss out on that.

1010
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 1: And I told him he could jump in at the

1011
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 1: beginning or the end of this. But I really don't

1012
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:19,319
Speaker 1: know where he is right now.

1013
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, well so that's Scottie not to come in.

1014
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 1: You did I know? You were like I told him

1015
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 1: not to come in so I can come in.

1016
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 2: Don't come in.

1017
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 1: And then also Jim is super encouraging and like very supportive.

1018
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: He is the person who makes it the top and

1019
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 1: sticks out his hand and tries to pull other people

1020
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,879
Speaker 1: up with him. And I say that because I mean,

1021
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: we have a million examples. But when I won my

1022
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 1: first Grazie, I want to I did that in the

1023
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:50,840
Speaker 1: vein of Andrew, the one I won the first one.

1024
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:52,359
Speaker 1: I was just kind of like, oh, cool, like this

1025
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 1: is awesome whatever, I love it. I wanted grazy. I

1026
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: didn't realize what a big deal it was. And Jim

1027
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 1: was the person who pulled me aside and he said congratulations.

1028
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 1: I really appreciated it. But then he was like, no, no, no,

1029
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:04,800
Speaker 1: you're really blowing this off. You need to take a minute,

1030
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:08,399
Speaker 1: stop and breathe in that. People have said you are

1031
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 1: doing the best at what you do. You're doing the

1032
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 1: best at it. Do you understand that? And I was

1033
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 1: like no, And from there I became a monster.

1034
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 2: Well, okay, see how you take it too? Far.

1035
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. I loved him curse so much. Anyway,

1036
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: to the conversation that Diamond really wanted to have. What

1037
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 1: were you asking people the other day?

1038
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm very nervous about having this conversation or being

1039
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:34,720
Speaker 2: record or it being recorded.

1040
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 1: But you don't have to name any names. Okay, you

1041
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 1: can just say your own what you think and then

1042
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:41,240
Speaker 1: will identify anonymous people.

1043
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I think that all white people I have

1044
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,920
Speaker 2: said the in word before. I don't think that it

1045
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:55,839
Speaker 2: is with malicious intent. Some of them will, let's be clear, but.

1046
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:57,360
Speaker 1: You're not getting everyone with that brush.

1047
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 2: No, I think that, Like, I know what it was

1048
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 2: like for me as a kid when I found out

1049
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 2: that I couldn't curse. I used to look in the

1050
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 2: mirror a fucktck bit shit, like like you literally whisper

1051
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 2: it in the mirror, just to see, like you know,

1052
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 2: my dad will let me curse, but like to everyone else,

1053
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 2: I couldn't curse, so I'd like I wanted to test

1054
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:20,439
Speaker 2: the boundaries a little bit, right, Yeah, I think that

1055
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 2: that is the same thing as like a little white

1056
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 2: kid somewhere looking in the mirror knowing that they can't

1057
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 2: say it. They're not letting their parents know that they

1058
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 2: say it. They're probably not letting anybody else know that

1059
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 2: they're saying it. They say it in the mirror once,

1060
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 2: just to see what it feels like. What are you

1061
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:36,240
Speaker 2: gonna do? Hate a little kid for testing the boundaries

1062
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 2: the same way that I did for saying like these

1063
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 2: other curse words or whatever. So I went around asking people,

1064
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 2: you don't have to say that you've said it recently.

1065
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:47,879
Speaker 2: I hope that you haven't, or that you I hope

1066
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 2: that you wouldn't admit that to me. Let's just put

1067
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 2: it like that. But like as a kid, yeah, you

1068
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:54,719
Speaker 2: said it before you knew what it meant, or like

1069
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:57,280
Speaker 2: you knew the gravity of the words to certain people

1070
00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:59,799
Speaker 2: and why you shouldn't say it. There are some people

1071
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 2: who still say that they didn't they've never said it

1072
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 2: in their life, and I.

1073
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 3: Don't really believe.

1074
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,120
Speaker 1: Oh really, we're talking about with the er or the

1075
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 1: see And that's another thing people wanted to get too deep.

1076
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:12,640
Speaker 2: I don't. Well, the er is a no go, all.

1077
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:14,839
Speaker 1: Right, But when you're saying like little kids, you think

1078
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 1: everybody has said it? Do you think everybody has said it?

1079
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 1: With a hard er?

1080
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:21,360
Speaker 2: I don't think that they know any better, Like I

1081
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 2: don't think they would know the difference at that point.

1082
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 2: Like I'm thinking of a little kid, okay for Max,

1083
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 2: Like these kids learn words and hey, listen, I don't

1084
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:33,279
Speaker 2: know where they're hearing it.

1085
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 1: Of course you know, but you're not gonna read it anymore.

1086
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 1: So actually you probably still are allowed to read that. That

1087
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:42,840
Speaker 1: probably didn't get any books banned.

1088
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,359
Speaker 2: Well, there are some really good books with that word.

1089
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:47,359
Speaker 2: It is what it is. We're gonna do block it out?

1090
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 2: You remember, never mind? God, remember like when you were

1091
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:53,520
Speaker 2: reading things in class and they had like words blocked out.

1092
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, if you're trying to figure out what the

1093
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 2: word was, hello, what are you gonna do? Block it out?

1094
00:50:59,480 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 3: Ever?

1095
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 1: What I have for sure South Florida where I came

1096
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:07,839
Speaker 1: into to being a human basically, and that was you know,

1097
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:09,800
Speaker 1: high school college.

1098
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:11,280
Speaker 2: We used to rap.

1099
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 1: Along all the time, say it all the time in

1100
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:17,959
Speaker 1: rap songs. And when I tell you, down there, everybody

1101
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 1: uses that word toward a man, toward a woman. What

1102
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:23,919
Speaker 1: are your white, black, Hispanic, Chinese? It doesn't matter. That's

1103
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 1: just how everybody down there addresses each other in that context. Like, yes,

1104
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 1: absolutely I did and I didn't realize, to be completely honest,

1105
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 1: which is wild, how wild it was that everybody was

1106
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: doing that Until you leave that area and you say

1107
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 1: something and people are like, what.

1108
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:40,439
Speaker 2: Did you just say?

1109
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like, oh okay, but if you go down there,

1110
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 1: nobody would think twice about it.

1111
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 2: I'd be lying if I said that I didn't say

1112
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 2: words that I shouldn't have been saying. Didler a community

1113
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 2: of people which second lot of Okay, Okay, I don't

1114
00:51:56,440 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 2: this something of the past. Okay, we're talking in past. Yeah,

1115
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:06,359
Speaker 2: a few different communities were. Yeah, but I've grown and

1116
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 2: that's the thing I mean. Okay, I think that we

1117
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 2: need to give people grace, right, which is why I'm like,

1118
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:15,399
Speaker 2: you don't have to lie about the fact that you've

1119
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 2: said it before. You know better now, you know what

1120
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:20,719
Speaker 2: I mean. So I was a kid, Hell yeah, Like,

1121
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 2: what are you gonna do?

1122
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you this, and I will say this

1123
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:27,759
Speaker 1: is a fact, I promise you. I have never in

1124
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:32,240
Speaker 1: my life heard my mom, my dad, or my sister

1125
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 1: say either version of really, not one of them. Never.

1126
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 2: Humhmm.

1127
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 1: I can't even like I'm trying to picture it right now.

1128
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 1: I can't even picture what it would be like coming

1129
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 1: out of any of their mouths. WHOA, Yeah, my sister

1130
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:49,800
Speaker 1: is married to a black man, so not that that matters.

1131
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:51,440
Speaker 1: I was just that person that's like, I have a

1132
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:53,319
Speaker 1: black friend. I would never please.

1133
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:57,879
Speaker 2: Please don't get me started on those. Okay, you don't

1134
00:52:57,880 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 2: get me started.

1135
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:01,919
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think I should also say quickly, yeah,

1136
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:04,280
Speaker 1: he's mixed, so he has black and whites.

1137
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:07,439
Speaker 2: Oh, and that's another thing we were talking about that

1138
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 2: like who gets a pass? Okay. I don't really think

1139
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 2: that anyone should be saying the word just because it's like,

1140
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 2: what's the point, Just leave it alone. But it doesn't

1141
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 2: mean I don't slip up when I'm around certain people.

1142
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 1: It is what it is, And I told you opposite.

1143
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:23,239
Speaker 1: I think everybody should say the word all the time

1144
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:27,000
Speaker 1: because I know you're never gonna agree. I think the

1145
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 1: more you say something, the more anything is in popular culture.

1146
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:32,840
Speaker 1: Whatever that thing is, whether it's a word, it's a

1147
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:37,360
Speaker 1: piece of clothing, it's a song, it gets devalued. I

1148
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 1: hate that there's a word out there that triggers people

1149
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:42,800
Speaker 1: so badly that they will fight, Like people will absolutely

1150
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 1: throw down. They don't care if they go to jail.

1151
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:47,680
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. There's a word out there that people

1152
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:50,719
Speaker 1: let push them to that brink. I just wish it

1153
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 1: didn't have that value, and I feel like the only

1154
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 1: way to devalue it is just put it out there everywhere.

1155
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:57,040
Speaker 2: I don't think that's ever going to happen, though, move

1156
00:53:57,120 --> 00:53:59,320
Speaker 2: to South Florida. I think at one point I probably

1157
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:02,719
Speaker 2: would have agree read with you, but I just feel like, yeah, no,

1158
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:07,160
Speaker 2: I think now it. People do it and say these

1159
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:10,319
Speaker 2: like this word just to irritate other people, and I

1160
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:13,319
Speaker 2: get exactly what you're saying, but it's just like, well,

1161
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 2: why can't you, the person who uses it with malicious intent,

1162
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 2: just be a better person. Well, for sure, I don't

1163
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 2: like like like, I don't understand.

1164
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:24,640
Speaker 1: That absolutely and unreasonable expectations. There are just ship heads

1165
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:26,680
Speaker 1: in the world who are going to be shitheads forever

1166
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:29,400
Speaker 1: because they were born a shithead, they were raised by

1167
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:31,560
Speaker 1: ship heads to be a shithead, and they're gonna die

1168
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 1: a shithead. I don't know. I say this all the time.

1169
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 1: The things that really bother me, you will see no

1170
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 1: reaction from me if it happens, because I don't ever

1171
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:40,399
Speaker 1: want people to know that that thing bothers me enough

1172
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 1: that you can keep saying it.

1173
00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:43,319
Speaker 2: Strength. I'm not there yet.

1174
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 1: Maybe weakness. I don't know. To not let people know

1175
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,319
Speaker 1: something that bothered me, I don't know.

1176
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:50,879
Speaker 2: I used to think that. No, I don't know how

1177
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:53,919
Speaker 2: I feel about that. Actually, you know, people.

1178
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 1: Call us the sand End mom all the time. Yeah.

1179
00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you wouldn't let anybody know that that bothered you.

1180
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:01,400
Speaker 1: It doesn't bother me. I'm not gonna please. First of all,

1181
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 1: if you're saying that, what kind of person are you?

1182
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let a person like that bother me?

1183
00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:09,439
Speaker 2: Please? I mean, I get it, but yeah, no, we're

1184
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 2: throwing down, we're doing it.

Speaker 1: You want Diamond to fight drop the ward?

1186
00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sorry, but she.

1187
00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 1: Asked everybody around here. I think most people were pretty

1188
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:22,440
Speaker 1: honest about it. I really want to hear off the

1189
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:24,520

1190
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:25,920
Speaker 1: want to hear if I believe it or not.

1191
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 2: You won't believe it, trust me? Oh don't believe it?

1192
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:36,480
Speaker 1: Girl or guy guy notorious liar? Yes, I have guesses

1193
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:39,960
