1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation had a lot of.

2
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:10,319
Speaker 2: People contacted me yesterday about what Tim Ross said on

3
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 2: our radio show yesterday about our future next year, and

4
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 2: a lot of people are going to you, all right,

5
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 2: and this is what Tim He came on our show

6
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 2: to talk about his new book, and he just out

7
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 2: of the blue said this.

8
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 3: In terms of the history of FM and breakfast shows,

9
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 3: I think you know you'll be the most loved and

10
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:32,599
Speaker 3: that's the most important metric. Oh yeah, And I think

11
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 3: it's really I think it's really important to say that

12
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 3: because I think you guys are fantastic and if there's

13
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 3: a if there's one thing that sort of sums up

14
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 3: your relationship, and I think it's it speaks a lot.

15
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 3: And I don't think everyone will listen to your show

16
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 3: in the same way, but it's it's the softness when

17
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 3: you in the way that you say each other's names.

18
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 4: And that was a very nice thing.

19
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: I was a little bit moogie of eye when he

20
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: said that. It's very nice of him.

21
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 4: And we've got a lot of response online.

22
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 2: People said, I can't believe you guys are going what

23
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 2: you've You're leaving. We're not leaving. This is beyond our control.

24
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 2: So this is what happened, just so everyone knows. We

25
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 2: came to the end of our contract this year.

26
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 1: Actually at the end of this year.

27
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 4: At the end of last year, we came to the

28
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 4: end of our contract.

29
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 2: So I was studying it a bit worried, and our agents,

30
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: we have an agent, they shopped us around a little bit.

31
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 4: Other stations were interested.

32
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: I didn't want to go anywhere.

33
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 2: Well, we didn't want to go anywhere, and also it

34
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: wasn't appealing to us. So when I look at this

35
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: radio show and I came here in two thousand and three,

36
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 2: my big goal was to have.

37
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 4: A successful breakfast radio show, and I thought, if I

38
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 4: get you over here, we'll do well.

39
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 2: And I said to you, give me two years, and

40
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 2: you went, yeah, I'm doing two years.

41
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: And that's it, my little kids, I don't know what

42
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: I wanted.

43
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 2: We got to five years and I said, you know,

44
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 2: five years, you could easily get to ten.

45
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 4: And then when we got to ten, you said, no way,

46
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 4: I'm doing twenty. But here we are. Here, we are

47
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 4: we've done twenty and.

48
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 5: We love this job. We love these hours, we love

49
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 5: you guys. So we loved being here for twenty years.

50
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: I've been in radio now for thirty five years, and

51
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 2: in my time, I've seen many challenges.

52
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 4: I saw records give way to CDs. I was told

53
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 4: that the CD stacker would replace us. People can put

54
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 4: CDs in their cast. They're not going to need radio.

55
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 4: The iPod, yeah, that's going to key you.

56
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: Spotify, free players.

57
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 2: Spotify is going to key your podcast is going to

58
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 2: key you. All these things. But you know, radio has

59
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 2: always been a constant in my life and it's a

60
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 2: medium that I love so much.

61
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 4: It's a one on one contact with one listener. That's

62
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 4: what I look at.

63
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 2: I always I've got more than that. I'm talking to

64
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 2: one person. I don't think I'm talking to a group

65
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 2: of people. It's just one person, and which I enjoy

66
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 2: very much. But I'll say this, the competition, the pie

67
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 2: is getting smaller and smaller. When I say pie, the

68
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 2: revenue pie is getting smaller.

69
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 4: So content now is getting provided by everyone. Everyone is famous.

70
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 2: Now have you noticed that everyone tell their stories on

71
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 2: Instagram or any of those.

72
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: Platforms, and the advertising dollar is spread pretty fi. We

73
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: know that. So that's what we're doing. And I would

74
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: rather do drive.

75
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 4: I would rather lose the time slot than the show.

76
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 4: So the show exists, and the show always.

77
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 5: Is just moving a few hours later, and we hope

78
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 5: you come with us. We assume it'll be like three

79
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 5: to six in the afternoon, and we really want you

80
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 5: to be with us.

81
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: So that's where we're going, and.

82
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 4: That's that's the greatest thing in the world. So we

83
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 4: you know, we're competitive.

84
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 2: We want to be number one, and we bought a

85
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 2: show that is the best show in the country.

86
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,679
Speaker 4: How many radio wards we won, how many.

87
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: Two years in a row we have won best Radio Show.

88
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: We had our best ratings ever last year.

89
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 5: So we're a show that is by all metrics successful.

90
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,119
Speaker 1: We're just moving to later in the day.

91
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 2: But to be a corporate guy, I want to be

92
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 2: a part of one of the most successful radio networks

93
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 2: in the country.

94
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 4: This is what I wanted to be a part of.

95
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 4: So this is what we're doing. So and what Tim

96
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 4: said really gave me pause for thought.

97
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: They were lovely, lovely words.

98
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 5: And so we're just going to take our love for

99
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 5: each other Brendan until later in.

100
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 4: The day and love for each other.

101
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 5: And when we say each other's names so lovingly, it's

102
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 5: so easy.

103
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 4: You get that frigging dad and you.

104
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 3: I hate you, I hate you.

105
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 1: All of that will now just be later in the

106
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: day when Brendan's less hormonal hormonal one you are. Let's

107
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: not fight
