  Speaker 2: Huh Yeah, I.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Think I've developed a whole new addiction. And I didn't
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: realize this is an addiction, but uh not for me.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: It's a battle porn.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You watching all the footage of the war, right.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Dude, and it's just mind blowing the precision that this
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: weaponry has on targets. I mean, did you you had
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: to at least see the submarine that sank the the
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Iranian battleship.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: No, literally not. I didn't see that. I've seen when
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: we're in here. It's the only coverage I've seen to
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: where they're showing them blowing up tanks everything. It's semis Yeah,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: it's just it's wild again.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: We're not I don't mean to get into the military
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: operation round table here.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: You've watching it because you had it on in here
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: the other day asking I'm just.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: You know what, I'm hopefully concerned. Does that make any sense?
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, you're you're whatever, optimistic?
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I hopelessly hopefully optimistic optimistic.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the hopefully assimistic is what you Yeah, anyway, way,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: you know what he's saying.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I know, I just I haven't being old enough to
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: remember when all of this Iranian nonsense started forty seven
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: years ago, you know, when they stormed the embassy and
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: took all those US hostages and that went on forever
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: and ever since, it's just been the you know, one
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: thing after another with terrorism, this terrorism that to see
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: that regime just essentially well for now wiped out, That's
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: that's the concerning part is I don't think there's been
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: a clear answer given as to what is next. Yeah,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: because I don't think anyone really knows.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: I don't whether they know or not. I don't think
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: they're gonna tell people what's next, because that's like saying, hey,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: here's my playbook, good luck in the game today, to
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: the to the other coach, and you were true.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: But I what I'm getting at Taco is what's being
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: said here is and I try to the way at
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: least my mind works is you know, it's being said, Hey,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Iranian people, you know this is not against you all.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: This is to move that oppressive, you know, killing machine
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: regime out of the way, which they've done.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Now it's on you.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, rise up and run your own country. The
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: only way I have to kind of think about that
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: is if in this country, somehow, all of a sudden,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: all of the leadership, you know, forty eight layers deep,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: was wiped out, and they're like, okay, go American people
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: and run things yourself.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: May anarchy and that's cure. Yeah. Yeah. I go over
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: there and I'm like, okay, why don't they just have
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: the person who works in the Iranian embassy. If they
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: have one, have that person run the country and then
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: reappoint somebody in that spot. They know what's going on,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: maybe they can take that's you have now, well you
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: should give a shit. I mean, I mean yeah, a
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: gas prices are up, which is dumb because the iranaz't
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: even supplier oil. We won't go into that forever. That
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: part does suck.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: That right when, right when we get to where gas
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: prices are coming down to a more reasonable level, boom,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: they go right back up again.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: You want a little fun fact about the war forty
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: seven years ago, you know how? And this is just
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: deep not not the war, but we with all the
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Iran stuff that happened that long ago. I started with
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: the hostage taking exactly. My dad would not let us
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: get HBL right, and my.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Older sibling when HBO when you were kids, Yeah, okay,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: and yeah.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Because you know he's a serviceman. He's like, you know,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: do as I say, not as I do, and rest
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: in peace. I don't mean that in a bad way,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: my way or the highway type. But you know when,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: uh but did fun ship with you and everything? But
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: you know when, uh when sometimes you'll get a free
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: subscription for the weekend.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Oh free, free free view they would call.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Free HBO or free cinemas. Usually not. But he happened
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: to walk in when we were watching a Cheech and
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Chong movie that said fuck Iran. On the chalk board
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: in the background, and he goes, that is why we
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: don't have HBO in this family. Yea, yeah, yeah, I
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: was a little kid.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Oh he didn't take exception to the f I Ran.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: I mean he was probably was a military now he
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: was probably like.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, we were young kids watching a pot smoking
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: movie and there's f ball right there with an Iran reference.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: I was like, okay, I got you. Yeah, no, nothing.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Of course he wanted our hostages back.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Oh and just one other thought here, and that is
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: that's why.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I didn't have HBO growing up. That's a little fun
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: fact for the day. Funny.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Any of you who have loved ones or family members
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: serving right now, God bless you, We're We're with you,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: We are with you, and may they all come back
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: safe and get the job done as ordered. And you know,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: we hope nothing but the best for each and every
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: one of our service personnel.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean we saw somebody local right here, was
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: that winter.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Haven, Richard Winter winter Haven? Yeah, yeah, you're right. Yeah,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: But anyway, so we got that. That's obviously a big
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: deal that's going on and changing literally by by the hour.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: So who knows where this is all going. We certainly don't.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: I have to point this out something that I said
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: to you the other day. I was driving home from work,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: going a back road to the gym. Well, I'm just
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: I'm painting the picture that I'm driving home down Lee
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Road and then through the winter park near the nine
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: hole golf course. Just give you a reference point of
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: where for the scenario that I'm gonna say, And it
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: hit me. I cannot imagine if they started bombing us
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: here in our town.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Again, we don't have a reference point for any of
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: this stuff, exactly what you're discribed.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying, if you're if you're driving home and
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: you see bombs come home God hitting your neighbor's house, like,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: holy shit, that was got up.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I'm agreeing with you. And you can't even get your
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: head around the idea when you see the footage of
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: places coming in with that happening, and yet life going
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: on as if nothing's going. Oh there goes another missile
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: overhead and that one's headed for wow.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, It's just we take a lot for granted here
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: in this country.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: It's just just no two ways about it, and all
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: of us are guilty of that. I just saw all
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: these people walking on the golf course and thought if
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: they just put the biggest sand sand bulger right there
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: with it, just it was a visual I got to
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: kind of freaked me out from it. I oh, this
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: would be not no blaino all right.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: So uh, anyway, there's that. We'll continue to mind. If
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: something happens here while we're you know, doing this, well,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: obviously share that info with you.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Hey, And what about Guthrie? They find her yet that's not.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: That kind of got pushed right out of the news
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: and it's Nancy Guthrie.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: You drop some bombs on Iran And.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: But that is the that's the media shiny object mentality
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: now man, It's like, yeah, they.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Not only the media, it's people in general.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Well, but it gets fueled by what the media drives
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: and then you know, then it proliferates with social media.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: You just we know how it goes now and that
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: that's the ever changing uh flavor of the moment news
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: story or rage out you know, outrage or whatever it
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: may be. And it's just it's it's always going to
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: be like that now. And it's technology, man. Technology, We
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: know everything about everything, or think we do.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Speaking of technology, that's segs as greatly. It's a great
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: sag to go into what we were talking about yesterday.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: We were we were talking about the building that we're
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: in and we've worked in this building together. In June,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: it'll be third years. Taco has been here even longer.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: But the inside the guts of this building used to
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: be significantly different, and we were trying to picture what
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: used to beware and you know how it's been reconfigured
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: as of late. But the one area that we just hated,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: In fact, most people who worked here in an on
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: air capacity really hated. The area was called the production office.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: And the reason why most people hated the production office
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: the people in there were cool. We had some really
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: hot ones and they remember the mother daughter team that
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: we were friends with, ye both hot. But it was
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: the fact that there were little baskets that had our
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: name on them. We each had what was called a
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: production basket, and it was prior to all this great technology,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: So it was paper orders that would say Taco Bob
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: produce this commercial, dub this put that way, and it
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: was just what it was.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Was part of the job that we do and still do,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: but it was a pain in the ass. And this
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: stuff would always get assigned. It seemed like right when
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: you were ready to walk out the door.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and usually on a Friday. I still have dreams
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: every now and then of the production bin and sebody gone, hey, Bud,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: I need you to dub this, dude. So it got
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: to the point where it dubbing. We would have to
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: dub like a tag on a spot that's lingo that
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: I can explain, here's your commercial, and then there has
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: to be a five second thing on the end, which
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: is the tag.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: To localize it. It'd be a national commercial and ender
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: be a space at the end of allows for a
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: local tag that you would have to jump in and
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: then marry the two together and then dub into the system.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so then create the entire commercial. I got so
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: sick of these things. And when Pat says, they'd always
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: be right, get assigned right when you're leaving, we would
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: walk with a start date of the next day. Okay,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: I want this camera to be the production office, right, Yeah,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: so that is the production office right there? Am I
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: in it inframe? Yeah?
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: As soon as I'm walking down the hall with Pat,
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: you be walking, I do look away from that office,
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: so that or sometimes one of you would take a
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: peek just to see if you had stuff in your box.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: You could tell, you could tell it was always it was.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: It was a production piece of paper rubber band around,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: usually a box that had.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Tape in it. Take the real tape, which meant work. Yes.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: And it would always come, not only at the end
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: of your day when you're lea it would come on
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: a Friday, and it would be several of them. These
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: have to be done by Monday. So I hated doing
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: these things so much that I was I started going.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: I started doing them as poorly as I could. So
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: let's just say it's you're craving the hut yo he's
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: talking about He's talking about the tag hut. Yeah, with
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: locations in Sanford and and uh Sanford, Nosting whatever, and
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: I go, okay, not a good example, but I so
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: I would get the tag and.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Go the slickly produced national spot would play, Okay, then
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: you would get to the ten five or ten seconds
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: silence at the end to insert the local information, which
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: is where DJ jumps in.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: With, this is the professional way I should do them.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: With locations in Sanford, Orlando and the mall at Millennia Instead,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: I figured out a system where I started going, yeah,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: they have locations in Sanford winter Springs, and yeah out
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: there in Mala Millennia in that voice, just which is
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: my normal voice.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: And it would have been fine if it only aired
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: on WJRR, because it's Taco Bob, known voice, expected presentation
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: by you.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Our listeners. But no, no, no.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: When you work in a cluster of radio station and
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: the spot national spot comes down, chances are it's running
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: on multiple stations, which which.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: I'm driving home one day and listening to Jim Phillips
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: legend in town for years and years on one O
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: four point one, and they come out of commercials and
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: it's a dub that I did that says something like, yeah,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: his place is really cool, locations in Castlebury and Sanford.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: He comes out and he goes, what, what in the
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: hell is that? Who are we hiring? Now? He goes,
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: that is the worst I've ever heard. So I was
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: doing them poorly, so they'd stop asking me to do them.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: And Pat, I think that you figured that out and
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: said you're crazy, but they stopped. Knock on wood, Oh
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: my god, the fact that I was listening to the
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Phillips file when he that commercial played and he lost
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: his shit. It was it was great and just.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: To just to kind of wrap it all around. Now,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: doing that type of work is still in our job description.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: We do it every day. We have to do additional
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: stuff for commercials and promos and all that, and it's fine.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: But the way it is done now, and the systems
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: that are in place and are our company that has
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: hubs now where people all day do nothing but commercial
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: dubs and commercials and whatever, it's the workload has been
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: lessened tremendously and you have to wear more hats and
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: do more things. And they understand that. So they've spread
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: it out and decentralized it and it just seems to
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: work a lot better.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: The production ben that thing. I'm telling you, it gave
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: me nightmares up to about a year ago. I remember
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: his side shirt and going, Tako, we have a bunch
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: of stuff loaded up in your production then, and I
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: looked at him and said, don't tell anybody who told
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: me that I'm leaving bye.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: He wanted to be able to have plausible deniability. It
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: must have gone in after I left. I wanted to
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: back up. Now that that's done, and you brought you
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: know Jim Phillips up.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Who was a legend in this rate in this town radio.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: What was it we did that that pissed him off?
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: And we had the beef with him for a while.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: You don't remember, No, it's been so long. What what
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: did we do? We said he was old? No, it
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: was because we.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Were this was early in our careers together doing our thing,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: and we we called him old.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was it was like, oh that all whatever
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: our ratings were, not saying that we beat Phillips in
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: the rating. He was a legend, but we were getting
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: first every now and then. And it went on like,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, that old dude down the hall things that,
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: you know, he's the king of everything. Thank you for
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: whatever we did. It was not cool. We called him old,
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: and we all of a sudden heard the voice, Hey guys,
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: we need to.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Talk former head of iHeart Programming in Orlando. Uh Chris Campmere, Hey.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Hey, Dip and ship come with me. No, you didn't
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: cost that, but he said, hey, guys, we gotta we
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: gotta iron some out here. We gotta talk. And he
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: walked us in and it was Auto, who what's up? Auto?
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: If you get into he's cool as hell to and
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Jim's we love him. It's Auto and Jim Phillips. And
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Jim's kind of leaning against the wall. Remember it was
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: in what is the now other pantry? Yeah, okay, And
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: and remember Jim's like this leaning lean up against the wall,
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: you know, business man. And then walk these two schlopes,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Pat and Taco in shorts and t shirts and and
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Chris goes Pat Taco, you know, Auto, Jim Phillips. Guys,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: you gotta talk. Is getting out of hand. There's stupid ship.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we had We had really never conversed with the
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: guy because he was like, as Taco said, he was,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: you know, hands off, and he keeps to himself and
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: he's very private, which was cool as hell, which was
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: the is the exact opposite of what he does on
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: the air. He would just you know, rip you a
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: new one on the air, if you, if you, if
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: you were on the wrong side of whatever he was thinking,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: watch out.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: And Jim, if you're hearing this, remember we love you.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: And he knows that because last time I saw him,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: he's like, TV, how are you? So we all became
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: great friends, but at the time it was heated, and
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: I remember Auto saying man, guys, come on, we gotta
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: we gotta kind of just chill out. I'll get it
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: so from then on.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, we're all cool.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: You know. It's funny though, I think it didn't upset
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Jim that bad, but I think it I don't know what.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Ironically, that may have been the catalyst for the way
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: we are now. We fully realized we've been here a
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: long time in our so we're older.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't have we don't try to hide that. No,
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: we are.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: You grow, you get older, it happens to everybody, and
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: here we are. But we still love what we do.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: We still love the music and what j are and
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: the lifestyle is all about and.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: All the people, all of you that listen and have
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: over the years.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Now it's generations, yes, and it's and and actually I'm
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: we're both quite proud that we have now been able
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: to broadcast to essentially three generations of j R. Our listeners.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: And we see it all the time when we go out.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: We'll really see it at Earthday Birthday.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: You're making my knuckles hurt with me knocking on wood
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: over here. I don't want the announcer's cursed the kiss
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: of death.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, look we ride the wave. While we ride the wave.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: That's That's what I'm trying to say. And uh, you know,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: I think that the day obviously comes for everyone with
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: whatever it is you do, wherever you do it, that
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: it's not gonna happen anymore. Yeah, And everybody comes to
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: grips with that at some point.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: But and we said it before, when it comes to
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: that point for us, we're just gonna start doing our podcast.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Is that that is our plan. If we ever were
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: to suddenly disappear from my hearts, that that is our
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: go to plan. And obviously we would. We now have
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: ways to alert each and every one if you where
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: you can find us. Yeah, it's something, but don't read
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: between the lines. There's nothing amiss. Everything is good in
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: hunky Dory as far as we know.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and if it's not, I don't think about it
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: because I always say, worrying about something is praying for
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: it to happen.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: But and we also have been doing this long enough
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: to realize that we have really not a lot of
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: control over a huge corporate entity that's going to do
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: what they feel is best for their company and their
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: game plan in any scenario.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: And it's just business, and it could be they might
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: put us on in multiple markets. You never know, and
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: you don't think about it. But back to the podcast
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: that we'll do, it is gonna be way ballsier than
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: this podcast that we do now because there's certain constraints
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: still even though there shouldn't be with a podcast, you know,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: does that make sense? And there's a lot of stories
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: that we can tell, and.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of stuff that one day. I always
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: joke that I want to write a book, and I'm
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: halfway serious when I say that.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: The problem is is you'd have to write the book
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: when we're on the air, and then they'd want to
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: they'd want to cut. Look, dude, Nunnery Nunner, he's on
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: the What's up?
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Nuns a former co worker of art. He knows about
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: the shenanigans that went on in here.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: He knows about I think he remembers a production production basket. Anyway,
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: see at Earthday Birthday, Sweet, we'll see out there, Nunners.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: So where was I?
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't spend a lot of time worrying about
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: such stuff. Whatever happens happens, and that's fine by us.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: It really is so. And onto Earthday Birthday, we're now
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: down to Jesus. It's March fifth already, and the show
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: has been moved to March this year. That is by design.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Even my wife said she was watching that commercial that
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: we shot at WESH and CW eighteen yesterday or two
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: days ago, and it's in March.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, March twenty first. Yeah, we kind of try to separate,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: give some space between that and Rockville. It made it
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: a little bit less challenging to book the show and
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: at the same time, give.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: You do both. We were both shows.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Gives you a break in between, not only from you know, shows,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: but financially. Yeah, concert tickets are expensive, and you know,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: we try to keep ours as reasonable as possible, and
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: it's ours is a one day event obviously, but we're
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: very excited that it's back after a one year hiatus,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: and I hope you all are excited and will join us,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: even though it's about a month earlier than when it
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: typically is.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: No ver A texted back, I guess, hell, yeah, I
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: got stories, hell yeah yeah. What else are they gonna say? Shit?
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: I got sidetracked, Sorry, man, were the podcast?
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: I forget? Oh? The book? Yeah, you got it right,
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: the book. Pat. When we're currently working here because then
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: it's more of an outlet. But then we can't kind
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: of cut. No, I can't cover everything, No, we can't.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right, That's why I'm saying at some point the
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: book will come when we are able to do that.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: And I think it could potentially be something that somebody
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: who's never even heard of us might.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Enjoy reading because there'll be.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Some crap in it. Do You're gonna go, are you
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: kidding me?
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: And there'll be a lot in it you're gonna say, Wow,
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: that's that's relatables, very relatable.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So we've seen a few things over the years, and.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Of course the first this is from Adam and of
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: course the first podcast that you would do, you would
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: have to do is why you got fired in the
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: first place? First time? With all that would be out
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: for sure? What did somebody else text to someone? Now?
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: It just it, you know, got storied down. Oh they
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: said something about the free ranging two cans in central Florida.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: I see.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: I've seen that story though too. Finally, I don't know.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: I saw it up on the news this morning. I
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: guess there's two cans flying around? Yeah, I ate fruit
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: loops this morning, ironically, and a little fun fact. Another
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: one for you. When you eat fruit loops, if y'all know,
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: your dump is usually green and dying. No, I went
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: and I thought I didn't digest that. I digest everything
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: super quick, and then it hit me, I've been eating
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: fruit loops. Fruit loops equal green poops?
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Has have fruit loops? Is that one of the cereals
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: that has switched from the artificial crap over to the
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: the I'm not saying I say it's much better for you,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: but I what that was. One of the big cereal
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: manufacturers were the first ones on board to say they
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: were gonna, you know, get rid of those artificial dies
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: and stuff.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know, there's still dye you can go check with. No,
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: but I just buy the big tip for any cereal leaders.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: They have the big boxes at like your Costco, your Sam's,
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: your BJ's, and there are big industrial boxes you can
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: get and they come with two full bags of cereal.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: They're only like seven bucks. A box of cereal is
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: now like eight or nine dollars.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Does cereal still have prices in the bottom?
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: No, No, none of them. I checked. I didn't want
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: to break a crown on an army man.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Dude, what a scam that was. When you're a kid,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: you'd get all jacked up, you know, you get checked
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: up from eating all the sugar that's in the sugar,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: you know, the sugar filled or cereal, and then you
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: bug the hell out of your parents because you heard
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: that there was a this and it was that or that,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: and then you would get down to the bottom of
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: that and get the thing out.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: It was just crap, a trinket, just crap. Yeah. The
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: deeper side of that is what a racket that was
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: putting that on the cereal boxes so that kids, my parents,
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: I figure this out now, Well, they used to let
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: us each each kid would be able to get one
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: box of cereal, and I'd make mine last all week.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: And my brother Sliz would sit down with a tupperware
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: bowl this big and eat the entire bowl of yeah,
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: and then me spasm. But mine, I just make it less.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: But I'm convinced that my parents, in the regular grocery
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: store that was at the commissary, we'd get that. I'm
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: convinced that they wouldn't go down the cereal aisle because
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: they knew they'd be broke. Although that's the racket I'm
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: talking about putting these prizes in boxes at kid's eye level.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: Of course, it's all.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Marketing, design by design exactly, and it's not just cereal
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: that that whole theory grocery store. The I learned all
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: this work in my days at Osowski Family Foods. All
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: that that shelf space is hollowed ground and the various companies.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: There's big bucks behind who gets what product placement, where
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: at what level and where it is. And you know,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: if you see resets and stuff being done when you're
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: in a store that's not being paid for by the store,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: this is some manufacturers said, you know, if you let
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: us bring this, this, and this in, will come in
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: and we'll be more than happy to reset your entire
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: whatever section, this, this, and this is going into. That's crazy, man,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: But you're absolutely right. You know, you put that kid
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: stuff at eye level where the kids are going to
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: get it, and it's the same for the grown up stuff.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Man, Just like the candy bars at check out.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Stack of beer that's on sale right when you walk
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: in the door.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Uh huh, strawberries right now, and then the beer is
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: on the backside, right, Jeff said, bringing my twelve years
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: old to our first concert Earthday Birthday. See you there,
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: I say, And we get this question every year. What's
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: a good age to bring your kid to Earthday Birthday?
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: How old should they be? I usually shooting at twelve range,
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: don't you think? Pat? I shoot?
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: And you're the parent and you know your kid. But
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: knowing what goes on at Earthday Birthday and that it's
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: a long day, the last thing we would hope for
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: any of you is to get there and then all
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: of a sudden your kid is out of gas and
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: that's going to drag you down and you're gonna.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Have to split.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: So I would take all of that into consideration. You
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: know your kid better than we ever will. And if
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: they're the type that is up for the party, not no,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: not to party, you know what I mean.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: If they can handle language and the duration, yeah, duration.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Pot smell not that's anyway. Those are all things that
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: are going to be there. We're not trying to hide
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: it or sugarcoat it. So it's your call.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: But yeah, real.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Young young kids, we've seen it. It's not like it's
• 28:58

• 29:31
  Speaker 1: That was those those are the ones that were like
