  Speaker 1: talk to a woman in her thirties, maybe even early forties,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: they know who she is, and a lot of them
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: are big fans, especially if they went to see her
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: on that big tour. I know, people that had no
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: love whatsoever for Taylor Swift had to take their kids
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: or their grandkids to see one of those shows and
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: they came back a fan.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Now you've known them all, would you say she is
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: the smartest business wise, marketing wise of all of them.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I gotta tell there's nobody in her category right now.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, you see a lot of these stars that
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: these young girls, they get out there, they have a
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: couple of hits, and then they disappear. I mean they
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: battled to stay, you know, relevant, but it doesn't happen.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: She's bigger than ever. I mean, just when they thought
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: she'd run out of gas. She's bigger than ever. And
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: on Friday she sold two point seven million albums and
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: then for the whole weekend. I mean it's over the top.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: And on top of that, a lot of people didn't
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: even know about this. She had the number one movie
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: and the theaters about that.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: It's not just the album. She came out sweaters, shirts
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: and mittens. I mean, every kind of merchandising all in
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: one day. It's brilliant, isn't it.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: You know the rock thought he was going to make
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: it big with this new movie is the Smashing Machine.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: He got buried. I mean, this is a movie. It's
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: about eighty minutes long, and it's all about the new album.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: And they I mean it was huge. I mean not
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: just in America, all around the world. People went in
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: and see them see that thing.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Now, when did you first meet Taylor Swift?
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I met her when she was a country singer. Wo
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: and her dad brought her by PLJ when I was
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: working there, and they just the record promotion guy wanted
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: to impress the label and the people that they knew,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you know, stars and Scott and Todd on PLJ. And
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: she came by and she played this song called Teardrops
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: on my guitar. Her first hit the country, and she
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: brought a copyright. I never heard it at that point,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: and I asked her dad if we'd be all right
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: if we play it, and he I thought it was
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: going to jump up and kiss me, you know, because
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: no other top forty stations were playing the song at
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: the time, And so we put it on and later
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: even added it to the playlist. And that was and
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: she always stayed in touch since then. Anytime we needed
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: an interview, she was there. Even when I was working
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: at CBSFM, she came by. We didn't we don't play
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Taylor Swift on that station. She came by and just
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: wanted to say hi and thank me, and it was
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: It was great. She's a she's a very special person.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I mean she somehow manages I mean that tour that
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: she was on. You don't see regular singers and artists
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: go out there like she did and just nail it
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: every night. That was a very complicated, uh, behind the
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: scenes tour to do. I mean, if you have if
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: you've ever seen a video of it or anything else,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: it's highly choreographed and there's people everywhere. You got to
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: be on your spot. They're coming out of the floor
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: and it's just and then she did the whole show,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I mean every night, and not just in America, all
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: around the world. She had bigger She had bigger crowds
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: in Europe than she did here because they have those
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: they have the big football stadium that see a lot
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: more people than than you know, like where the Giants
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and the Jets play or try to play.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Well. Hey, Scott Schennon, you know all these football players,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: What the hell is the deal? What's the deal with
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: this Mark Sanchez? What is he? Nuts?
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's the craziest damn story of the week. I
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: mean this it's nuts and Indianapolis of all places. I mean,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: he's been pretty quiet, by the way. He's pretty good
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: at what he does. A lot of these jocks convert
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: to television and they don't make it, you know, they'll
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: do a year or two and then they suddenly disappear
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: from CBS or Fox Sports. But this guy's pretty good.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: And he was in Indianapolis to call a Raiders Colts game,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: and I don't I mean when they first put it
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: on the news that no, damn idea, what the hell
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: what happened? Because he was drinking in a bar. They're
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: a very popular place too. It's a it's a Lawmailler's pub,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: and for some reason, I guess it was that after
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: midnight he went wandering out of the pub and for
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: some reason he wanted to talk to this truck driver
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: sixty nine years old, who was there to pick up
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: the grease from the kitchen of the hotel which is
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: right next to, right near this pub. And then Mark
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: decides he's going to be a traffic director and get
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: out there and tell him he can't park or he's parking,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: which he parks there all the time. And the whole
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: thing evolved into a fight. The guy's sixty nine years old,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: which is not old, but it's you know, when you're
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: six foot two, two hundred and thirty pound X quarterback,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: you know that's a little dangerous. And the guy, to
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: make things worse, he didn't he needs a hearing a
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: but he didn't have it in because when he's working
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: it it doesn't work very well, or something like that
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: his family said. And then there's a picture. Have you
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: seen the picture in the post today of the guy,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Not of Mark, but of the guy he beat the
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: crap out of and he's got stitches in his lip,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: and it's all over both lips, and he's got a
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: stitch on the left side of his face. I don't
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: know how he got and I guess he hit him
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: in the mouth and it went through his cheeks. And
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: you know, you don't need to know all that. But
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: and then they say that he was so he stunk
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: of alcohol and he was slurring his words and uh.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: And the funny thing about it when you first heard it,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: when someone says Mark Mark Sanchez got stabbed by a guy.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: And then they said the police arrested him, You go, what,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: he's the victim, and and he's you know, he's he
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: was in that. They went to the hospital to arrest him.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: They got him on like four or five charges, but
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: they said he was drinking. He was he was walleyed.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember that or not, that
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: term walleye when you can't walk straight. And and the
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: police said when they interviewed him, he didn't remember what happened,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: who stabbed him, or even where it happened.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: I don't think we'll see him for a while on
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: any of you.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: No, I don't think he's going to be the Fox
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: hasn't announced it to my knowledge, but I don't know
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: if he's going to go back on TV. But remember
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: when he was a super stud, when he was here
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: in New York playing for the Jets. Hey, yeah, he
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: dated Kate Upton, that beautiful model, Jamie Lin Sigler. He
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: was hanging out with her, and he had a long
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: relationship with Ava Longoria. One of her one of her
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: boy toys.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Hey, we only have a minute a half left. I
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: want to ask you, I hate to ask you this,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: What's what's going to happen with the New York Yankees?
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: I got I got a question for you, A simple question.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Do you think anyone has ever been happier to get
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: the hell out of Canada than the New York Yankees
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: last night?
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: But what did his answer? Two games to play, they
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: were favored to win both of them by the you know,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: the baseball experts. And in the two games, the Blue
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Jays scored what twenty three runs and the Yankees scored eight.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: So what makes you think it'll be any better at
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Yankee Stadium?
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Well, it's their home turf, and they can't suck that
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: bad three games in a row. The game three tomorrow
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: night at Yankee Stadium. They got to win it. They
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: got a winner. They're done. Yeah, it doesn't look good, no,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: but they got a chance. It will probably bounce back.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: And I'm not saying they're done. I'm just saying, what
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: the hell of a way to start a series. But
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: if you think about it, New York City as a
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: sports capital of the world. We got two Major League
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Baseball teams, one of them didn't even make the postseason,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: the others on the brink are going home. We got
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: two NFL football teams and right now, one of them,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: the Jets, can't beat anybody they play. They're owing five.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: And the other team just lost to another team that
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: couldn't beat anybody. Danny couldn't beat anybody till they played
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: the Giants.
• 11:07
