1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: With Stu Gotts and Hawkman. Punish, Punish, Punish.

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 2: That's how I think we should start every that's an earworm. Punish, Punish, punish, Yes,

3
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 2: punish the listener. Stu Gotts has been punishing the listeners

4
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 2: with his new radio show Fox Sports Radio. So we

5
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 2: took a week off from doing with Stu Gotts and

6
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 2: Hawkman because I wanted to give Stu Gotts time to

7
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 2: get the uh the Daily Radio Chops back. As silly

8
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 2: as that might sound, He's doing the Daily radio show

9
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio two hundred and whatever affiliates I mean,

10
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 2: he's he's back in the Daily Radio grind, which I

11
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 2: never left. I've been doing daily radio, and you've been

12
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 2: in the podcast arena and the the DLS arena, which

13
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 2: wasn't Daily radio per se.

14
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: So what's it like? How's it been? How was the

15
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: first week?

16
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 3: The first week it did not come without some you know,

17
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 3: technical difficulties which were to be expected. Taylor one time.

18
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 3: At one point, I'm introducing the Taylor to radio. Like

19
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 3: he doesn't Hawk, he doesn't understand the importance to me

20
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 3: and to someone like you. Okay, to be in on

21
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 3: Paul Castronova's birthday and he's in studio that day, or

22
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 3: to walk down the hallway and see Doc Reno he

23
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 3: just seen it. Yes, here's another couple of things that happened.

24
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 3: Taylor was using talkback one time. He's communicating with me.

25
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 3: I'm only supposed to be hearing Taylor, as you know, Hawk,

26
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 3: Taylor was using the talkback and somehow it was going out.

27
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: All over the airwaves. And that's how long?

28
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: How long did it take you to find out that

29
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: that was actually being broadcast over the air The next day?

30
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, the next day because the producers were like radio

31
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 4: The producers were like, why are you saying that stuff

32
00:01:59,000 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 4: on air?

33
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 5: And I go, wait, what stuff?

34
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 3: So we have a setup in Pemberrock Pines, and we

35
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 3: have a great crew out in Sherman Oaks, California, And

36
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 3: so that part has been tricky in terms of just

37
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 3: getting all the communication data my cadences. But I'll tell

38
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 3: you another radio story, Houk. Because where we're doing the

39
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 3: show from it is station after station after station, studio

40
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 3: after studio after studio, and I knew it was gonna happen,

41
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 3: But yesterday, for the first time, I walked in right

42
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 3: in the middle of a y one hundred set.

43
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean the time of your life. I

44
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: loved it. The DJ was in there looking at me.

45
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: I was looking at him.

46
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 3: I'm like, hey, am I in the wrong studio and

47
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 3: he goes, hey, my mic is live.

48
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 6: Uck.

49
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 4: We also had another situation where we had the bear

50
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 4: on great guest after the Miami game. About ten minutes in,

51
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 4: his Wi Fi starts going in and out, so his

52
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 4: audio it's choppy.

53
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 5: I got I used the talk back.

54
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 4: I'm like, Stu, let's dump this and let's pick back

55
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 4: up somewhere else.

56
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 2: You know, Okay, tell you let me just interrupt. That

57
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 2: is great producing because a lot of times a host

58
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 2: will just barrel through what's an awful connection and it's

59
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 2: a tune out and you're in your first week of radio.

60
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: So this is live. This isn't being taped. You know,

61
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 2: you're saying, hey, we got a bail on this.

62
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is live. I can hear what Taylor is hearing.

63
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 3: I could hear it in my headset, but for some reason,

64
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 3: Hawk I thought, now, listen, okay, it's not like riding

65
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 3: a bike. I took four years off of doing this.

66
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 3: I just imagined that I was hearing something different.

67
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: Than the audience was hearing.

68
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,119
Speaker 5: So Stu goest.

69
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 4: Goos, We're having some problems with Bear's connection.

70
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 5: But Bear, what do you think about ruben Bain's performance?

71
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 3: Again, thinking that I'm hearing something totally different than the

72
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 3: audience is hearing, and so I asked two follow up

73
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 3: questions after that, but his connection got better. Taylor also

74
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 3: said had a slip of the tongue and said black up,

75
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 3: quarterback up, Martin Luther King day.

76
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: Happens happens to the best of us.

77
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 2: So as I know, Stu Gotts and Taylor and everyone

78
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 2: involved is in this new endeavor, which is back to

79
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: terrestrial radio for a couple hours every day. I started

80
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 2: going over the old tapes of the beginning of seven

81
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 2: ninety The Ticket, which everyone knows I think who's paid

82
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 2: attention to the show that Stu Gotts was instrumental, really

83
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 2: the driver in putting together seven ninety The Ticket. It

84
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 2: doesn't happen without Stutt, literally doesn't happen without Stu Gotts.

85
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 2: I know there are people who are listening to this

86
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 2: podcast who are new to me or the history of

87
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: the show. I'm going to read you a couple I

88
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 2: always tell you can DM me Radio Mark Hawkman on Instagram.

89
00:04:58,240 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: Here are some of.

90
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 2: The da that I've marked over the last week or

91
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 2: SOY DM me, I haven't laughed that hard. This was

92
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 2: the Punish, Punish, Punish, and then your show on Vicodin,

93
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 2: which was our last episode. I haven't laughed that hard

94
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: in such a long time. I thought I was going

95
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 2: to throw up in the pantry while doing housework. Also

96
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 2: while listening to the episode with the cowboy hat made

97
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 2: of bacon and alligator wrestling for the children. Then to

98
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 2: follow up with the Vicodin intro, my core hurts from laughing.

99
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: Great pod.

100
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 2: I know the Dan Levatard Show from when it joined ESPN.

101
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 2: I hadn't heard you, meaning me, until you joined Stugatts

102
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 2: and him joining DLS, But listening to both of you

103
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 2: lately has been very enjoyable.

104
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: Now.

105
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 2: If this person only started listening though during the ESPN era,

106
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 2: he may not know that you really changed local sports

107
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 2: radio in South Florida because you invented this competitor to WQAM,

108
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 2: this seven ninety the ticket.

109
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know, we.

110
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 3: Talked about it some on ESPN, not nearly as much

111
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 3: as we did obviously when we started doing the show.

112
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 3: Locally in its first five or six years, right when

113
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 3: you were when you were the EP of the show Hawk.

114
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 3: But I started the station it was at a time

115
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 3: where sports radio was really booming. And what happened in

116
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 3: a lot of major markets was there was not one,

117
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 3: but two and in some cases three sports radio stations

118
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 3: because the format was that hot and that interesting to

119
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 3: a lot of program directors and a lot of radio

120
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 3: groups because they saw not only were people listening to it,

121
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 3: but you can monetize it fairly easy, right, And so

122
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 3: I decided, you know, I did some research. My friends

123
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 3: in Atlanta had done the same thing with seven ninety

124
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 3: the Zone, Andrew Saltzman and Stake Shapiro, and I started

125
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 3: talking to them and seeing what went into you know,

126
00:06:55,760 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 3: doing something like we ended up doing with WAXI and

127
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 3: and once I kind of had the business model down,

128
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 3: and I met with another instrumental guy who helped me

129
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,679
Speaker 3: put the radio station together and made introductions to guys

130
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 3: like Joel Feinberg who would eventually be the owner of

131
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 3: that station.

132
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: I was Alan Brown.

133
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 3: He was a big help getting me securing the finances

134
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 3: that we needed in order to operate that radio station

135
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 3: for as long as we did. So it's something I

136
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 3: wanted to do. I was working at QIM. I said,

137
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 3: there has to be a younger, hipper, better alternative to

138
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 3: sports radio than when WQAM was given out. And so

139
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 3: we got a group together, me and Allan and we

140
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 3: started seven ninety the ticket. I'm glad we did, man,

141
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 3: those those were Those were fun times and it turned

142
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 3: out to.

143
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: Be a legendary station. It really those were fun times.

144
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: It turned out to be a legendary station. It really did.

145
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: Doesn't exist anymore.

146
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 2: The company I work for, Odyssey, owns seven ninety but

147
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 2: right now it's Roddio Libre. WQAM still existing as by

148
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 2: the way, just but the WQAM signal is now on

149
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 2: FM and AM. There's been obviously a lot of changes

150
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 2: since two thousand and four when this took place. But

151
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: what was your first meeting with Dan? Like, you've got

152
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 2: a pitch to him. You know, this is the money guy.

153
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 2: If you can bring Dan Labatard onto this startup station,

154
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 2: you have instant credibility because he's never done local radio.

155
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 2: He's done a show, you know, like a weekly show

156
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 2: I think with Ricky Williams on QAM.

157
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: It was once a week for like an hour. Yeah,

158
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: he did Sunday Morning Es.

159
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, yeah, the magazine show on Sunday mornings. You

160
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 2: want him to do a daily radio show in afternoon drive.

161
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 2: And he is the most well known writer and writers

162
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 2: back then, journalists, print journalists back then in two thousand

163
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 2: and four had a lot of cachet. Yeah, and that

164
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 2: was like, if you could get that guy. So you

165
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 2: don't know Dan, So now where is the first meeting

166
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 2: and how do you pitch it to him?

167
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 3: So I knew before even before we got the deal

168
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 3: done with Waxy at seven ninety, that I wanted Dan

169
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 3: to do afternoons. Like I had a plan, a programming

170
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 3: programming plan that included Joe Rose in the morning, moneymaker,

171
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 3: known commodity people liked him. So I wanted Joe in

172
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 3: the morning, and I had to have LeBatard in the afternoon.

173
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 3: Despite Dan being a really great columnist and journalist. I

174
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 3: spent my final you know, a couple of years at

175
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 3: QAM producing Hank Goldberg Show.

176
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: And you know this, Hak.

177
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 3: Hank was doing almost his entire show the last couple

178
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 3: of years on whatever it is that Dan wrote in

179
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 3: the Herald. He was just pick it apart and he

180
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 3: would rip Lebazard and I'm like, anyone who has.

181
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 2: I'm Dan for three hours a day, Hank Goldberg would

182
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 2: just shit on him.

183
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: Yes, And so I didn't know who Dan was.

184
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 3: I just knew Hank was shitting on him and so

185
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 3: literally every show. And I'm like, man, this guy must

186
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 3: be so good if he's getting Hank this angry on

187
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 3: a daily basis just writing whatever it is that he's writing.

188
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 3: And so I talked to Boog a little bit, because

189
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 3: Boog was very good friends with him. I didn't know

190
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 3: you at the time. Hawk and Book said, not only

191
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 3: is he a great writer, not only is he very thoughtful,

192
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 3: there was a great sense of humor once you get

193
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 3: to know him, right, And so I I and Boog

194
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 3: connected us. Boo gave me his number. I reached out

195
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 3: to Dan. Our first meeting. God, I hope I'm remembering

196
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 3: this correctly. It was at a Starbucks in Pembroke Pines,

197
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 3: and I believe Pebrick Pines that's I think he grew up, right, That's.

198
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: Where he lived. Yeah, Pembroke Pines where he lived at

199
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: that time.

200
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 3: So I met him at this Starbucks. I'm a little

201
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 3: nervous because I haven't met Dan before.

202
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: He's a big star. I'm in there. I am just

203
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: rip it. I'm telling you.

204
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 3: I must have had three double espressos in about fifteen minutes,

205
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 3: two splendors in each.

206
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: And so I'm a bit nancy and like hockey, you

207
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 1: know me, I'm I don't.

208
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 3: Want to say, you know, I'm just at that time,

209
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 3: I was very energetic.

210
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: I was very like, come on, I gotta get this guy.

211
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 1: I wanted to Murray.

212
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 3: I was salesy, Yes, Murray, Marray, and.

213
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: You'm murried Dan. You murried Dan on the first meeting.

214
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 3: So no, Well, Dan had a lot of questions, as

215
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 3: Dan often does. So we met at this Starbucks Pembroke Pines.

216
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 3: I forget what Dan was drinking. I don't care.

217
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: I was wired.

218
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 3: I was on espresso, okay, And so I really tapped

219
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 3: in to some of the things that Boog told me

220
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 3: to tap into, which Dan loves to be the underdog.

221
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 3: Dan would actually like to go up against Tank Goldberg.

222
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 3: Dan would like to be a big part of the

223
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 3: reason as to why five sixty WQAM has some sort

224
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 3: of demise or collapse. Tap into those things and you

225
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 3: should be fine, I think this is something that he

226
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 3: wants to do. So I knew that going in, But

227
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,719
Speaker 3: I also knew who Dan worked for and who his

228
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 3: boss was going to be was something that was very

229
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 3: important to Dan because of my conversation with Book. So

230
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 3: I got in there. I was intimidated. People don't know

231
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 3: this about Dan. Dan is a very big person. Yeah

232
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 3: I'm not talking he's physically big. Yeah, yeah, he's physically big.

233
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 3: He's physically thick. I'm like, this guy could kick my

234
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 3: ass inside of five seconds if he wanted to.

235
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: But we had a nice conversation. It was really, really nice.

236
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: Dan did say to me.

237
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,599
Speaker 3: He did say, I liked the idea of being, you know,

238
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 3: part of an underdog that is trying to take down

239
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 3: five sixty w q AM because Dan.

240
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: And that wasn't bullshit. By the way, five to sixty

241
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: was the king.

242
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 2: No, and there had been some challengers, but no one

243
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 2: had been able not even to dethrone them, No one

244
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 2: had been able to even create a formidable challenge.

245
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 3: Yes, and so you know, I tapped into some of

246
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 3: the things that I thought Dan would want to hear,

247
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 3: partnerships with the Heralds ESPN, We're going to stay out

248
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 3: of your way. You don't have to do endorsements, all

249
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff.

250
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: And so I didn't close the deal on that first meeting.

251
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 3: Dan needed some time to think about it, and I

252
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 3: totally understood that. I also told them, Hey, it's a

253
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 3: startup radio station like WQIM. If you work there, they'd

254
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 3: pay you a million plus, I said, working for me,

255
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 3: I you're paying you two hundred grant.

256
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: I said, it's a startup radio station.

257
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 3: Dan, to his credit, did not care about the money,

258
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 3: the salary, just the opportunity to build to grow. Eventually

259
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 3: the money would come, but he was really taken by

260
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 3: the idea of Hey, let's end WQIM and let's end

261
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 3: Hank Olberg and we did.

262
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: Here is a clip.

263
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 2: I want to talk more about it because I find

264
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 2: it interesting and I love you know, I love radio.

265
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 2: I've loved radio forever, even since I was a kid,

266
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 2: and I would I was one of the few kids,

267
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 2: you know. I grew up in Chicago, and when a

268
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 2: top forty station would change their jingle package, I noticed it.

269
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 2: I wasn't even in the radio business, but like I

270
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 2: always just had ar Yeah, I just had this thing

271
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 2: for radio, and I love the fact that you did this,

272
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 2: You created this in two thousand and four, and now

273
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 2: it's you know, twenty what two years later, twenty twenty six.

274
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: Is that the morning.

275
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 2: University of Miami students, University of Miami grad.

276
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: Taylor Diino math I.

277
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 3: But it's it's fourth century and you're now working as

278
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 3: an afternoon drive host.

279
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 2: On your own show for a major network. Like I

280
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 2: just I love the story.

281
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: It's all in that.

282
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's it's an amazing story. None of it happened.

283
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 3: I don't think we have the success that we had.

284
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: Hawk.

285
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 3: This is funny because I'm sitting there and I'm meeting

286
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 3: with Dan, and I'm like, this is a guy I

287
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 3: would never co host a show with. And I was

288
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 3: that wasn't the plan at the time. Well, the plan

289
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 3: was for me to do my own midday show and

290
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 3: for Dan to do afternoons. And I remember walking out

291
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 3: calling my wife. She asked me how it went, and

292
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 3: I said, I think it went well. But Dan's a

293
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 3: very hard guy to read, as you know Hawk, And

294
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 3: I did say to her, that is a guy.

295
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: I go, he's strange, he's weird.

296
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 3: I go, that's a guy I would never co host

297
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 3: a show with right twenty years later, here we are.

298
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 2: I've got some clips of like this first show that

299
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 2: you guys ever did together, and there's two shows going on.

300
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 2: There's Dan's show and then there's your show. Yeah, and

301
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 2: you get a taste of both during the first show

302
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 2: that ever aired. I believe it was September one, two

303
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 2: thousand and four. I believe it was, Yes, so the

304
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 2: station launches. This is I know a lot of people

305
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 2: have heard this. If you're new to rpod though, and

306
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 2: didn't start listening to d and show, you know later

307
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 2: till the ESPN years, maybe you haven't.

308
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: This is the actual I know it's been a trivia question.

309
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 2: Do you recall now because Mike Ryan talked about this

310
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 2: in the oral history, do you remember what the first

311
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 2: words ever spoken were on the Dan Levatard Show with

312
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 2: Stu Gott's.

330
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:19,560

00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:41,920

Speaker 7: Sobbing does. You don't like what I write this morning,

342
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 7: I'm a few digits away tell me one eight eight seven.

343
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 8: Ninety ESPN is number.

344
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: Love him giving out the phone number.

345
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 2: I love how he's talking. He was nervous, like I

346
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 2: remember listening, you know. So my story of how I

347
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 2: became the executive producer. I was a radio guy, but

348
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 2: I was a music radio guy, and I graduated m

349
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 2: Dan graduated in ninety I graduated in ninety one. But

350
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 2: we were friends for our entire school tenure, and we

351
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 2: had a lot of the same professors, same interests because

352
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 2: we were both in the in the communications school, and

353
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 2: so he knew I was a radio guy. He would

354
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 2: listen to me, you know, but I was a music guy.

355
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 2: But he said, listen, I'm doing the show. And it's

356
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 2: seven ninety I was living up in West Palm Beach,

357
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 2: so it's hard for me to even hear the signal.

358
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 2: But he said, we start three. I think it was

359
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 2: four pm. Then maybe I think it was four to seven.

360
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: I think we started four to seven. Yeah.

361
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, So he's like, you got to listen, take notes,

362
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 2: and then you know, tell me what you think. And

363
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 2: his whole idea was to do the show of the

364
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 2: conversations that he and I and other friends had on

365
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 2: the phone. You know, every night, every other night, just

366
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 2: talking about sports and entertainment and silliness. And I remember

367
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 2: listening to that first show and he was nervous. He

368
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 2: was talking fast, right, and he wanted to lay the groundwork,

369
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 2: and I guess, you know, you feel like, oh, I've

370
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,239
Speaker 2: got to get it all out there now, you know

371
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 2: as to what I'm going to do that The first

372
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 2: couple shows were herky jerky at best, understandable by the

373
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 2: way everything.

374
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I listened to.

375
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 2: My first solo show when I left the Dan Levittard

376
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 2: Show with Stu Gott's and I started doing mornings. It

377
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 2: was before I was paired with Zaslow, So I think

378
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 2: my first few morning shows after we had done too

379
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,360
Speaker 2: a days. So now, because you kind of hosted two

380
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 2: days when we were together and I was the co

381
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 2: host and I went into the host chair, and it

382
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 2: may have been Brandon Guzioh who was my first co host,

383
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 2: but I mean I would if I went back and

384
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 2: listened to those, I would probably break down in tears.

385
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,959
Speaker 2: And that's how bad it was, right yeah, I mean,

386
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 2: because we tried to play this back on our show,

387
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 2: if you recall, and Dan couldn't get through one minute.

388
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 2: We planned a day on the anniversary of the station,

389
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 2: maybe the fifth anniversary of the station. We said, on

390
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 2: this day, we're just going to play the first show

391
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 2: and we'll all react to it as it happens, kind

392
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 2: of like a rewatchables, but we're going to.

393
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: Play the first show. So we get on the air.

394
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: It's four o'clock.

395
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 2: I think it's three o'clock at that time, and I

396
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 2: play that the first segment and Dan about three minutes in,

397
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 2: takes his headphones off.

398
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: Puts him down.

399
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,479
Speaker 2: He's up, He's like, this is at his table, and

400
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 2: he says to me during the commercial break, I can't

401
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:42,959
Speaker 2: listen to this.

402
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,360
Speaker 1: I can't do this right.

403
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 2: And I said, but we've talked about this for a week,

404
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 2: like we had I think we had sold a sponsor

405
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 2: for it. We're just going to listen to the entire

406
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 2: first show together. And we did it for one segment

407
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,239
Speaker 2: and he couldn't do it. And by the way, I

408
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 2: totally under staying though.

409
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 1: Same. Yes.

410
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 3: One of Dan's tells though, when he's uncomfortable behind a

411
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 3: microphone is when he leans back in that chair, he.

412
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: Puts his head up. Let's add a deep breath. I'm

413
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: doing it right now.

414
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 3: I think I think listeners would be interested to know

415
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 3: two things. Two things and perhaps this. Dan kicked me

416
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 3: out of the studio for that first segment. I was

417
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 3: not there with him. He told me to go wait

418
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 3: in the control room and I'm like, okay, but I

419
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 3: didn't want outside.

420
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 2: Man flex man flex on the first of the first segment.

421
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: That's a man flex to your party.

422
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 3: Oh I got this with Chiheiti Hanau, whatever the fucking name.

423
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: Is driving me crazy.

424
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 3: The other thing that people don't know is Joel Feinberg,

425
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 3: the owner of our radio station, was sitting two.

426
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,360
Speaker 1: Feet in front of Dan with a camera in his.

427
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 3: Face as Dan is doing the opening monologue and trying

428
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 3: to get our show off the ground like one of

429
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 3: those giants hand quarters by the way, like one of

430
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 3: those eighties cam quarterers. And knowing Dan, So why did

431
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 3: no Dan that well personally at the time, and I

432
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 3: didn't know how uncomfortable that would make Dan. But now

433
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 3: fast forward, I've known him now for twenty years. Oh

434
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 3: my god, that was a bad idea.

435
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was an inauspicious start, to say the least.

436
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 2: Here's another clip. So this is from the first show ever.

437
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 2: This is towards the end of the show. He's just

438
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 2: had Kornheiser and Willbon on together. This is a big

439
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 2: deal for local radio, right, PTI at that point two

440
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 2: thousand and four is the king of ESPN, and to

441
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 2: have Wilbon and Kornheiser on together on a local radio show,

442
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 2: it's Dan swinging his thing saying, look, I'm bigger and

443
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 2: better than anything you've been listening to. With Hank Goldberg,

444
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 2: who's gonna bring Beano cook on? I'm gonna bring you

445
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 2: will Bon and Kornheiser together. This is a segment towards

446
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 2: the end of the show.

447
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 8: Part of the show.

448
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 7: Right, Two things, two requests first day, two memorable things

449
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 7: and I don't want to throw a diva rant here.

450
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 8: Just two things. What y'all are Let's.

451
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 7: Get the smell out of the room first. Let's just

452
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 7: disinfect the Joe Rose scenter of the room and give

453
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 7: me the kind of music that I like.

454
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 8: Please, that's it, That's all I want.

455
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 7: I don't even care if you get me to guess,

456
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 7: if you give any callers, just give me the Nothing

457
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 7: else matters. As long as the smell is gone from

458
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 7: this room. And once you tell them the music that

459
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 7: you like d just a little incense, And I said,

460
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 7: already I want the VMA's. Well, you're not trying to

461
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,239
Speaker 7: do a diva rant yet you're diva ranting right now.

462
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 2: I know.

463
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 7: I'm sorry, Okay, no, I'm I'm very fragile right now.

464
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 8: Last segment was brilliant. By the way, Oh, they're the brilliant.

465
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 8: Those guys are the greatest.

466
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 2: So you could tell he's all over the place in

467
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 2: the first show. And by the way, again totally understandable

468
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 2: what I will tell you, like you should communicate with

469
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 2: your executive producer.

470
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: It was Andy King at the time.

471
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 2: Yes, what you want to be the music and the

472
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 2: vibe of the show. If you remember the first clip

473
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 2: that we played, it was Ron's Saint John. Like, that's

474
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,360
Speaker 2: why I brought in the big voice, and that's why

475
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 2: I did the music that I know would make stand.

476
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the same music that I liked as well.

477
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 2: But like he didn't feel like the packaging of his

478
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 2: show matched what he had envisioned in his head.

479
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 1: But he feel like it represented him or Miami.

480
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 2: I'm imagining there weren't a ton of pre production meetings,

481
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 2: though I can't imagine that you sat down in a

482
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 2: room you him, Andy King, the production director, and had

483
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 2: meetings upon meetings leading up to the launch date, you

484
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 2: know where you said, here's how I want the show

485
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 2: to sound.

486
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 7: No.

487
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 3: I also didn't realize that Dan was going to be

488
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 3: that meticulous in particular about those certain things. Hop because

489
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 3: most hosts they don't give a shit. Like, we have

490
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 3: an open running on our radio show right now. I'm

491
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 3: not certain that I like it. In fact, I know

492
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,360
Speaker 3: that I don't. I would like it to be different,

493
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 3: and yet I keep running it and like, big deal,

494
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 3: get through the open and just do the show and

495
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 3: give out the phone number. Joe Rose, he doesn't give

496
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 3: a shit. Hey, Goldberg never cared. Dan cared about these things,

497
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 3: and in part that's what made Dan great at his job,

498
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 3: and it's what made us great as a radio show.

499
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: Serious. Yeah, no, it's it's exactly that.

500
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 2: Because he didn't want the show to sound like Joe

501
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 2: Rose's show did, or like Hank Goldberg's show did, and

502
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 2: so when the music seemed to match that and the

503
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 2: open seemed to match that, he's like, well, wait a second,

504
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 2: am I just getting lumped in with all these local

505
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 2: radio guys who are doing radio shows, and then I'm

506
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 2: gonna bring on will Bon and Kornheiser, and then I'm

507
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 2: gonna have Chris Mortenson take callers questions about the end

508
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 2: like He's like, yeah, it's got to all sound bigger

509
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 2: than it does.

510
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 1: Yeah. He was looking for a certain sound.

511
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 3: He wanted that sound to represent him, he wanted that

512
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 3: sound to represent Miami. And he would say in that

513
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 3: first show, I don't have all the answers, but what

514
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do is bring you people that do Chris Mortensen, Kornheiser, Wilbond.

515
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: You'll have access to those people because me and Steve

516
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,479
Speaker 1: Gotts don't know what the hell we're talking about. And

517
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: he's right.

518
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 3: And he provided our audience with that access to the

519
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 3: those people.

520
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: People liked more.

521
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 3: People liked Tim Kirch and Peter Gamans early on, if

522
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 3: you remember, but would come on once a week and

523
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 3: he would say phone calls and so to dance gredit.

524
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: He did deliver on on all that, and it really hot.

525
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 1: You know. This made the show stand out and out,

526
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah.

527
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,360
Speaker 2: And then all I did was make the imaging match

528
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 2: the content right, so the big voice stood out. You

529
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 2: didn't hear any kind of imaging voice like that, the

530
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 2: music that we played, the production elements that we'd had

531
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 2: going into segments and out of segments, it stood out.

532
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: And so then the show felt special.

533
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 2: Those three hours on the air felt more special than

534
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 2: anything else local radio was doing. Here's how it gets

535
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 2: funny to me, though, when I go back and listen

536
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 2: to this first show again. It's September one, two thousand

537
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 2: and four, so there's two shows going on.

538
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: I think you.

539
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 2: Guys were probably like at some point, I'm guessing in

540
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 2: you know, meeting beforehand. Hey, you'll bring on some big guests,

541
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 2: we'll take some calls, like you had an idea of

542
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 2: what you wanted to do as well. So here's Stu Gotts.

543
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 2: This is another clip. This is the first show they've

544
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 2: had Chris Mortenson on. I remember Melvin Bratton called in.

545
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 2: Former UM running back called in unannounced, Yes, Cornheiser and

546
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 2: Will Bonner on. And then there's Stu Gotts doing what

547
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 2: he knows of sports radio, which is going to calls in.

548
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 7: Eight seven nine zero ESPN D we haven't taken a

549
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 7: call in about two and a half hours, and DC

550
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 7: guys have been paying on for about two and a

551
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 7: half hours.

552
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 8: We wanted to start doing some call taking. I'm sorry

553
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 8: about that, by the way, genuinely sorry.

554
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 7: Go ahead, let's go out to Ken, who is on

555

597
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 2: Wait a second, I'm leaning on Wilbun and Cornheiser.

598
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: Some fucking guy is calling you and.

00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,200

Speaker 2: You know, you saw at that moment there's going to

Speaker 2: It didn't jump out at you right that, Hey, Like

607
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 2: that's how caller callers back in the day. You know

608
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 2: Chronics people who would call all the time and you

609
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 2: would just kind of gibbets with them like they were

610
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 2: your friends.

611
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:55,080

Speaker 1: and dance.

615
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 2: That's why they got rid of pleasantries. And it was

616
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 2: when you call. It was the Jim Rome idea, when

617
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 2: you call, have a tape, don't suck. And but Stu

618
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 2: Gotts had not been doing that kind of radio.

619
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 7: No.

620
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 3: Dan and I eventually, along with you, train the callers

621
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 3: to be better than the call that you just heard

622
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 3: us play back there. But you and I see we

623
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 3: didn't mind that. You and I still do this day.

624
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: You don't get if a guy wants to call in,

625
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: say hi.

626
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 3: The last time we spoke, the Mets wurg game up

627
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 3: and now they're fifteen backs too. I love you, I'll

628
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 3: talk to you, lare you. And I are good with that.

629
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 3: It's radio. It's talk radio. I realized very quickly. Dan

630
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 3: not good with that, especially when a guy was calling

631
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 3: into the Dan Lebatar shoe and only talking to me.

632
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: Well, and that's what most of the callers were.

633
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 2: They were callers who had listened to you on other

634
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 2: stations and they were excited you were on the air.

635
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 3: Yes, but you could hear the framewar or cock It's interesting,

636
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 3: right because when you listen back to that, you could.

637
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: Hear the framework of what our show would ultimately be.

638
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, just in that little segment right just in that

639
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 3: little snippet right there, because there is real tension there.

640
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I am doing something that Dan does not want

641
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: to do.

642
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 2: He's telling you, even as he's trying to joke through it,

643
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 2: he's telling you, this isn't what I'm doing every day.

644
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 2: I am not blazing through caller after caller who are

645
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 2: going to say, hey, what's going on and did you

646
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 2: catch the Marlins game? Listen to this call, this call,

647
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 2: this another regular Stugotts caller. Callers are lining up to talk,

648
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 2: but now they just want to talk to Stu Gotts

649
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 2: because Stu Goott's had been.

650
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: Off the air for a while.

651
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 2: This guy, I wrote it down, says during the call

652
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 2: that Paul Laduka, who's a Marlins catcher at that point, yes,

653
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 2: has the heart of a Maddingly.

654
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: I have to tell you what a great call.

655
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 2: We could not script a more hackneyed radio caller line.

656
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: Than that. But that was genuine and Dan's reaction to

657
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: some because remember this is the stuff that.

658
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 2: We ship on when Mark Hackman would do the calls

659
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 2: and I would talk about Juwan Howard having the fire

660
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 2: in his eyes, right, yeah, you know, like Paul l

661
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 2: Eduka has the heart of a maddenly.

662
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: He did. Here's the here's the call going.

663
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 8: Out to Mike t on the mobile phone. What's going on?

00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 6: Quite get to the missions yet? I want to talk

665
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 6: to the guy who's waiting for Bob Ryan's seat over there?

666
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 8: Uh? Could?

667
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 6: He wrote the other day on cool let's talk about

668
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 6: the moments to It was about the youngest thing you

669
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 6: were talking about, the young gn you today, you.

670
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 8: Were talking a little bit about that.

671
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 6: These young gm I'm looking about book Kenny about they

672
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 6: know nothing about baseball.

673
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 8: I mean at the.

674
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 6: Bottom money, you want to pick a little dupa. He's

675
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 6: got a heart of a matting league and out there

676
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 6: and plays hard, mapping me out there because he's single

677
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 6: than bubbles.

678
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 8: I mean, you need to.

679
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 6: Reach back on that, baby.

680
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 8: We're gonna hold on, hold on, hold on.

681
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 7: Let me ask you real quick, how do you measure hard?

682
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 7: Go ahead and measure that one for me empirically, Like,

683
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 7: all I know is the Dodgers with the math Wizer

684
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 7: in first place.

685
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 8: The other Nippet is a big heart. That's big heart.

686
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 7: That's but I don't I want the measurement on heart,

687
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 7: Like the Marlins didn't win the World Series because of

688
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 7: heart last year. They won because John don't know. But

689
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 7: can we know, like in the same class as Done Mattingly, please.

690
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 8: I don't care if we're talking about horn.

691
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 7: I don't care if we're talking I don't care what

692
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 7: part of the body it.

693
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 8: Is, what organ it is. He is not done Mattingly,

694
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:46,959
Speaker 8: He's not done that way.

695
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 6: But if he's a similar, similar cat that mold I mean,

696
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 6: come on, guys had a double hitter, single hitter.

697
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 8: He's a crush hitter.

698
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 6: I mean, what else you're walking the guy doesn't.

699
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 8: I think it was a good trade, but you're talking

700
00:33:58,040 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 8: about Donnie Baseball.

701
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 2: I just I cannot imagine what is going on in

702
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 2: Dan's head when this guy he says, can you, Dan

703
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 2: says to him, will empirically measure for me the heart

704
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 2: of a maddeningly And the guy's like a guy. He's

705
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 2: got some characteristics and dances, but the the Marlins didn't

706
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 2: win the World Series because of the heart of a.

707
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:25,959
Speaker 1: Maddingly why did they win?

708
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 2: And Dan's trying to lead him down to you know,

709
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,919
Speaker 2: saber metrics and you know Billy bean stuff, like why

710
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 2: did they win? And the guy says, lightning in a

711
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 2: bottle perfect? I mean, what a great call. Seriously, and

712
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:38,839
Speaker 2: he said nipple to nipple.

713
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 5: That sports radio.

714
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,280
Speaker 1: That sports radio, that's my friend.

715
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 3: That was mikey t That's the guy who's been kicked

716
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 3: out of my house because he was talking shit to

717
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 3: all the Dolphin fans in my neighborhood when we were

718
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 3: tail gatting him my driveway.

719
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:56,439
Speaker 1: What a great call.

720
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 5: Now that's starting to look out.

721
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 1: You're starting to say.

722
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 3: Abby kicked him out of the house and Dan kicked

723
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 3: him off the radio show. I mean, this bike guy's

724
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,760
Speaker 3: causing a wake of damage wherever he goes.

725
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: It was a good takedown, that's what you want to call.

726
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, at least he asked Dan a question.

727
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,720
Speaker 1: He didn't ask me a question. It's truly.

728
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 2: I just love the dynamic of that first show because

729
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 2: you know, Dan, I mean, you had been telling me

730
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 2: leading up to it, Yeah, we're gonna do something unlike

731
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 2: has ever been done on sports.

732
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 3: Radio, right, And you have one half of the show

733
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 3: trying to do that, in the other half trying to.

734
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: Do every other showing.

735
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 2: And I think probably what happened was you would listen

736
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 2: to him when he said, Hey, we're gonna do something

737
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 2: different or whatever, and it kind of went in one

738
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 2: ear and out the other because you knew ultimately you

739
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 2: were just gonna take calls and talk sports. Why would

740
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 2: you make it any more difficult than that, Like you

741
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 2: watched Hank do it.

742
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: Make a lot of money?

743
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 2: Like, why would we Why would we gum up the

744
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 2: works with anything more difficult than Mikey.

745
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 1: T on a mobile.

746
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,800
Speaker 3: I figured we had already done the different and the difficult.

747
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 3: We had Wilbond and Gorneiser together, we had Melvin Bratton calling.

748
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: It right now, let's do radio.

749
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 2: Now, let's do La Duca has the heart of a

750
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 2: Manningly he hated it.

751
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,720
Speaker 1: Oh my god, do I love that? But anyway, that's uh.

752
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 2: The first show is an incredible list lastic but man,

753
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 2: you can just see what is going on in Dan's head.

754
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 2: And again, rightfully so a couple other dms that I've

755
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 2: gotten since the last podcast, Hey, Hawk, always love hearing

756
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 2: you and Stu Gott's during any respective show that you

757
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 2: both are part of. I'm a relatively newer listener of

758
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 2: The Levotard Realm, so I don't have any classic show

759
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 2: moments from long ago, but I just wanted to say

760
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 2: the audio played during the Stugotts Vicotin show recently made

761
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 2: me laugh harder than I had in a long time.

762
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 1: Keep it up. You and stew are legendary.

763
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 2: The Viking in segment, which by the way, was suggested

764
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 2: by a DM because neither of us had remembered that segment.

765
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 2: That Viking In segment may have been the best segment

766
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,879
Speaker 2: that we've played on this podcast. So yeah, I think

767
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 2: up until Luduka has the heart of amatically, which is

768
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 2: what I now want to rename this.

769
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,760
Speaker 1: Podcast Nipple to Nipple.

770
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 3: Oh my god, that was I've gotten so many people

771
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 3: reaching out to me over that segment. I told you, listen,

772
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 3: let's discuss this real quick on the show. I want

773
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 3: to play the Punished Punished Punish segment on the new show. Now,

774
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 3: Hawk would be a fan of doing that. Taylor feels

775
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 3: like we're mailing it in.

776
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: You know, you want to play the segment.

777
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 2: Just I mean that clip or you want to do

778
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 2: punish the listeners?

779
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 3: No, I want to play the clip from that segment.

780
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 3: I can never reach like ten or twelve seconds. I

781
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 3: think you should play it every hour to start the

782
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:06,760
Speaker 3: hour I tell it today. Please, thank you, Punish, Punish, Punish, Punish, poonish, punish.

783
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:08,800
Speaker 1: Wait. But I'm so this is interesting.

784
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 3: Hak you would play back the entirety of the segment,

785
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 3: would you not.

786
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if I.

787
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 2: Have the entire segment of punish the listeners. I think

788
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 2: that's the only thing I had was that. But you

789
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 2: could certainly do punish the listeners.

790
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 1: I don't know we're punishing them. Just fine, don't worry

791
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: about it. Somebody DMS.

792
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 2: Goddamn man, I didn't realize that you were so involved

793
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 2: with the show. I'm listening to all these old clips

794
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 2: and I didn't know you were the EP at the time.

795
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 2: Truly incredible stuff. I don't even want anything, just wanted

796
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 2: to let you know. You're apparently one of the reasons

797
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 2: I fuck with the Lebotard Show in the first place.

798
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 2: I think I started listening around twenty thirteen or so.

799
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:47,240
Speaker 1: I was gone by that time.

800
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 2: Definitely during the later slot loving the pod with you

801
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 2: and Stu stay.

802
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,280
Speaker 1: Good and we appreciate that. Again.

803
00:38:55,760 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 2: You can DM the podcast by dming me on in Instagram.

804
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 2: It's Radio Mark Hawkman on Instagram. Also want to shout

805
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 2: out and thank Buddha of course, who has been listening to.

806
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 1: Your radio show.

807
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 2: I've lost a listener on terrestrial radio because he's been

808
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 2: listening to you lately and he says the show sounds great.

809
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 2: But I had breakfast with Buddha on Sunday. But he

810
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 2: runs Burton Max's in Delray Beach which is a fantastic

811
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 2: restaurant and the weather little Chili this week. Yeah, go

812
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 2: to Burton Max's or the Rapaport group who owns the restaurant.

813
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 2: Burton Max's also has Deck eighty four which is on

814
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 2: Atlantic in Delray Beach, and it is right on the water.

815
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:43,839
Speaker 2: And I'm telling you, as cold as it is around

816
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 2: the country, it's chilly here, but it's not too chilly

817
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 2: to sit outside at Deck eighty four enjoy yourself a

818
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 2: libation and some delicious food. So I appreciate Dec eighty

819
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 2: four on Atlantic in Delray Beach for being a sponsor

820
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 2: of this podcast, and Burton max is in Delray Beach,

821
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:04,760
Speaker 2: which is out west.

822
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: That's at like Lions are four forty.

823
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:11,399
Speaker 3: One Atlanta or something like, yeah, yeah, And Buddha's a pro,

824
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 3: so just so you know they are. Yes, it's a

825
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 3: little bit chilly. We should not be complaining. The rest

826
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 3: of the country is freezing. It's like sixty four degrees

827
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 3: and not a cloud in this guy down here.

828
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 1: I played golf both days over the weekend.

829
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 3: But Buddha is a pro, and he like they have

830
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 3: the hockey, been to both places. So we have those

831
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 3: heaters outside if you want to enjoy this weather outside

832
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 3: and it'll keep you warm as well.

833
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:32,959
Speaker 1: Because he knows what he's doing.

834
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 3: This man ran the most ridiculously busy corner of restaurant

835
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 3: real estate in the country when he was in charge

836
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 3: of Prime one, twelve and Privatite, So he knows.

837
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 2: One of the reasons that Buddha got turned onto us,

838
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 2: you know, at the first place, because he lives in

839
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 2: Boca and he would drive down to Miami Beach every day, yep,

840
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 2: to get.

841
00:40:55,239 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 1: To Prime Italion and he wouldst to the show, yes.

842
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 2: Because you know, he'd have to be there for dinner service, right,

843
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 2: and so he'd be getting getting in his car, probably

844
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:10,240
Speaker 2: around three o'clock, and he was a like an og

845
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 2: LeBatard show listener. But I'm telling you we appreciate the sponsorship.

846
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 2: Deck eighty four is on Atlantic Avenue, right by the

847
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 2: bridge that goes over the Intra Coastal, and Burton Max's

848
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 2: is in West Delray Beach. They are both fantastic restaurants,

849
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:33,320
Speaker 2: and you will often see my wife and I at.

850
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,399
Speaker 1: Deck eighty four. We love that place. Yep.

851
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 3: I'll often see me at Burton Max's with my dad

852
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 3: getting that meat loaf wrapped in bacon.

853
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: Oh oh, that's so good. I love though.

854
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 2: They've got the French onion soup dumplings and I love that.

855
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 2: That's my favorite menu item at Burton Max's. And now

856
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 2: that Taylor's in town, we got to take it to both.

857
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 3: I also get this smokeouse burger because the cheese, the burger,

858
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 3: the bacon, the mayo, the lettuce, tomatoes not enough. You

859
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 3: have to throw a fried egg on top of it.

860
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 2: So are you enjoying going to a radio station and

861
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 2: doing a show five days a week, because that's what

862
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 2: you're doing now.

863
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm enjoying it.

864
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 3: We're trying to find the right balance between doing this

865
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 3: because I really love doing this with you, between doing

866
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 3: Stu Gottson Company, God Blessed football and the live radio show.

867
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 3: So we'll figure out the right schedule. That's been the

868
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 3: most i think, difficult part so far. But yeah, I

869
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 3: love it, man. I missed radio. I wanted to do

870
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:32,720
Speaker 3: radio again, and we're doing radio, and so Taylor's been great.

871
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: And teaching Taylor how to do live.

872
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 3: Radio because it's totally different than podcasting, has been thoroughly enjoyable,

873
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 3: and I know he loves it.

874
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: He does. He loves it.

875
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, Hawk.

876
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 4: The only thing I'm worried about is burnout because today

877
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,280
Speaker 4: I've got Stu gotts On about a ten hour schedule.

878
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 1: It's unreal.

879
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just unbelievable. I'm like Taylor, we need

880
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 3: to limit the stuff we do before the show. I

881
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 3: told him this yesterday last night. He's like, listen, we

882
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 3: got Hocke at ten, we got Chris Long and eleven,

883
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 3: and we got Goalick at twelve.

884
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:04,320
Speaker 1: The radio show. Fuck yourself, dude, a second.

885
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 2: I got to churn out four hours of radio today myself.

886
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 1: I know, but you're done until your radio show. I

887
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 1: have two more things to do after this.

888
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, but my radio show is double the time of

889
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:15,280
Speaker 2: your radio show.

890
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: That's a good point. I have a two hour shift.

891
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: It's great.

892
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,800
Speaker 3: We realized that only Katie Nolan, who was a guest

893
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 3: on yesterday's show, has a better shift than we do.

894
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 1: We have two hours. She has the rare one hour

895
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: radio show. God bless her.

896
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 2: I mean I literally would pay the radio station to

897
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 2: let me just do one hour instead of four.

898
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 1: You'd lose money in the transaction.

899
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 2: So you see all the radio people walking around the

900
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 2: building there, huh like oceans.

901
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,439
Speaker 3: I mean I saw a prize wheel the other day.

902
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,399
Speaker 3: I saw a truck a fan T shirts in it,

903
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 3: the stuffing.

904
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 2: It's so funny because listen, Like I said, the show

905
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:57,399
Speaker 2: started in September of two thousand and four, and I

906
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 2: loved radio when it started, loved radio when it started.

907
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 2: Dan came in hating radio, never loved radio, still hates radio,

908
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 2: and Steve Gotts and I still fucking love it.

909
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 1: I love radio. I love a prize wheel.

910
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:16,800
Speaker 2: I love taking a T shirt that was out of

911
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:21,879
Speaker 2: date six years ago that's covered in dust. I love

912
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 2: just picking through the promotion's cabinet and finding something to

913
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:30,320
Speaker 2: put in the closet. I'm just everything about radio strikes

914
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 2: me as fun.

915
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:32,439
Speaker 1: Yeah. Hawk.

916
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 4: Somebody came up to me and said, do you mind

917
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 4: if we sell a show where you guys go.

918
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 5: To spring training for the Marlins.

919
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 4: I said, yeah, sure, and Steve Gott's turned the corner

920
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 4: and goes, what did you just agree to?

921
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:47,760
Speaker 1: I'm not joking. He's telling sales.

922
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 3: I go, you gotta be careful what you say around

923
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 3: these people, man, because the next thing you know, we'll

924
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 3: be live and a fucking ed MOR's fucking rolet. But

925
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 3: Taylor goes, hey, I would like the show. I would

926
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 3: like for us to do live s all over town.

927
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: And I'm like, Taylor, not anymore, not me? You go

928
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: do that? Well, no, I was thinking you'd come with us. Huh.

929
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 1: And in some cases it's just you a tailor. He's

930
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 1: got hockey. Know what's gonna happen?

931
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,959
Speaker 3: I told him, I said, I said, Taylor, you say

932
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 3: that to a sales manager and that's sales manager. Or

933
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:28,360
Speaker 3: if you say to a salesperson and he gets to

934
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:30,800
Speaker 3: the sales manager, he will have us at a quarter

935
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 3: deck on Flamingo Road.

936
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, what's gonna happen? Is you said, well, do
