- 0:00Speaker 1: I finally found a use for AI. By the way,
- 0:01Speaker 1: that I'm going to talk about before I get out
- 0:03Speaker 1: of here. That's actually making me happy. I know most
- 0:06Speaker 1: of it scares the bejeebers out of me, but this,
- 0:08Speaker 1: this actually makes me happy right now talking about the yup.
- 0:11Speaker 1: Just the over the weekend, angst if you will, that
- 0:16Speaker 1: I ended up feeling because of what a couple of
- 0:18Speaker 1: people started posting on on Facebook. They were unhappy with
- 0:22Speaker 1: the way Zach was doing Saturday morning open Phones, and
- 0:24Speaker 1: I just I don't dislike these people. I'm not even
- 0:27Speaker 1: mad at them, I'm disappointed. Uh. Open phones is about
- 0:32Speaker 1: varying opinions. Anybody left right, doesn't matter, Libertarians, Democrats, Republicans,
- 0:37Speaker 1: doesn't matter. If you're a communist you can call up,
- 0:39Speaker 1: doesn't matter, doesn't matter. It's open phones.
- 0:43Speaker 2: Just fyi, if you're a communist, you're first on.
- 0:46Speaker 1: You'll put them on first. Yeah, why just so you
- 0:49Speaker 1: don't have to talk the rest of the show, we.
- 0:50Speaker 2: Just have we just share theories.
- 0:52Speaker 1: Oh don't say that. Yeah, don't say that. That's the
- 0:55Speaker 1: last thing you need, oh said Zach bores a come
- 0:58Speaker 1: isy pink oh pink o coming.
- 1:01Speaker 2: So you're saying don't open this.
- 1:04Speaker 1: Yeah, he's just kidding.
- 1:05Speaker 2: Saturday's open manifest.
- 1:07Speaker 1: Yeah, let's not do that. A two one A two
- 1:11Speaker 1: w TV and rak here on sixth n w TV
- 1:13Speaker 1: and high.
- 1:14Speaker 3: Hey, you're you're you're spending all your time on Zach
- 1:19Speaker 3: today with that's a good thing.
- 1:20Speaker 1: He's worth it.
- 1:21Speaker 3: But uh yeah, but I heard that, and you know,
- 1:24Speaker 3: when I heard that Saturday, I'm thinking I didn't really
- 1:27Speaker 3: see much of the stuff that was posted, but I know,
- 1:31Speaker 3: I think it had to do with feeding the kids
- 1:33Speaker 3: and snap benefits and so forth. But it was almost
- 1:37Speaker 3: when I heard that him that day was almost like
- 1:39Speaker 3: he was framing it. And you know, you as if
- 1:45Speaker 3: we're spending all this money on the war, but when
- 1:47Speaker 3: we could be spending it on this. And maybe that
- 1:50Speaker 3: was the way somebody took it, you know, like didn't
- 1:53Speaker 3: like his I may be misremembering, but you might be
- 1:58Speaker 3: completely right.
- 1:59Speaker 1: And and if that is the way somebody took it,
- 2:01Speaker 1: and it's not what you expected to hear eight to
- 2:04Speaker 1: one nine, eight eighty six, you call, you say, zachly,
- 2:06Speaker 1: is this what you mean?
- 2:07Speaker 4: You know?
- 2:07Speaker 3: Also, two hours isn't enough and there's there's I know,
- 2:11Speaker 3: he's got a lot of lineup of people and take
- 2:13Speaker 3: them first come, first serve. So whereas it possibility? Yeah,
- 2:17Speaker 3: I don't know, I'm just spit ball on.
- 2:18Speaker 1: Yeah, and there there are people. There are people who
- 2:20Speaker 1: get up at five thirty and go to their phones
- 2:22Speaker 1: and hit the button and want to sit on hold.
- 2:25Speaker 1: They actually will just block what are you blocked to
- 2:27Speaker 1: like five till six, because people will call and they
- 2:29Speaker 1: would sit on hold for half an hour just waiting
- 2:31Speaker 1: for the show to start.
- 2:32Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, for sure.
- 2:34Speaker 1: It's a little hard to be fair with new callers,
- 2:37Speaker 1: especially when you have people that are you know, hitting
- 2:40Speaker 1: the redial button while they're making their coffee at five
- 2:42Speaker 1: thirty am.
- 2:44Speaker 5: Yep.
- 2:44Speaker 3: Yeah, I actually had something, something sarcastic. I was going
- 2:49Speaker 3: to think and I'd contribute, but I heard the lineup
- 2:51Speaker 3: on saying of that, there's no way.
- 2:53Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. I appreciate you, Rick, thanks very much
- 2:56Speaker 1: for the call. Take care and enjoy the sunshine. Eight
- 2:58Speaker 1: two one, nine, eight eighty six is the number, and
- 3:01Speaker 1: John you are on sixth DOABTVN.
- 3:03Speaker 6: Hey, Chuck, how you doing today?
- 3:05Speaker 1: Fine? As far as I know, Well good.
- 3:08Speaker 6: Hey, I want to just I listened to you every
- 3:12Speaker 6: single time I get a chance. I listened to Zach
- 3:15Speaker 6: every Saturday since he's taken over, and I really appreciate
- 3:19Speaker 6: you standing up because Zach did absolutely nothing wrong. I
- 3:25Speaker 6: listened on Saturday. I listened every Saturday. He had an opinion,
- 3:30Speaker 6: he spoke it. Nobody decided to call in and say anything.
- 3:36Speaker 6: They want to be keyboard warriors.
- 3:39Speaker 1: You know, that's how that's how way too many people
- 3:42Speaker 1: respond to things these days. Get on your Facebook, your Twitter,
- 3:45Speaker 1: your Instagram, whatever, nobody. Nobody wants to do. Just a
- 3:48Speaker 1: face to face dialogue. And if we did more that,
- 3:51Speaker 1: maybe we'd solve more problems.
- 3:53Speaker 6: Absolutely, and I want to say thank you and let
- 3:56Speaker 6: Zach know he's doing one heck of a job and
- 4:00Speaker 6: keep it up and don't let the people get you down.
- 4:03Speaker 1: Did you hear that, Zachary?
- 4:04Speaker 2: I did. Thank you very much.
- 4:05Speaker 1: Thank you John for the support and the call. Budy
- 4:07Speaker 1: we appreciated. Eight two one nine, eight eighty six is
- 4:09Speaker 1: the number. It's a you know, he's uh, he is
- 4:13Speaker 1: a friend, he's a coworker, he's he's part of this
- 4:15Speaker 1: radio station. And this is something that I bring to
- 4:17Speaker 1: the table being someone that you know, I I've been
- 4:20Speaker 1: here for so long. I've been here on and off
- 4:22Speaker 1: for jeez, Louise twenty two years something like that, twenty
- 4:26Speaker 1: three and they'll bring me in and then, you know,
- 4:30Speaker 1: the corporate will do budget cuts or layoffs or whatever,
- 4:33Speaker 1: and I'll go by the wayside, and then when they
- 4:36Speaker 1: find some money, sell a couple of extra commercials. Hey, Chuck,
- 4:38Speaker 1: you want to come back. Yeah, I'll come back because
- 4:41Speaker 1: I love it. I mean, I love it, and it's
- 4:43Speaker 1: it's not the primary income. I wish it was. I
- 4:46Speaker 1: wish this is all I did for a living each
- 4:48Speaker 1: and every day, honestly, because this is I'm very good
- 4:51Speaker 1: at it, I think, and I love it. I was
- 4:54Speaker 1: meant to do this, and I'm not joking. I talked
- 4:57Speaker 1: about Boston. I was twelve years old, and I knew
- 5:01Speaker 1: this is what I wanted to do. Twelve. I knew
- 5:06Speaker 1: this is where I belonged. So the fact that I
- 5:09Speaker 1: continue to do it when so few people around this
- 5:11Speaker 1: country still are doing it, makes me very happy. I
- 5:16Speaker 1: address that on Facebook over the weekend as well, because
- 5:18Speaker 1: people were going after why aren't they rerunning at that
- 5:22Speaker 1: McDonald's burgery? Oh my gosh. Really Well, because A it
- 5:27Speaker 1: was popular b most people believe it or not. Don't
- 5:32Speaker 1: spend three continuous hours listening to talk radio. They've got
- 5:36Speaker 1: us on in the car, They've got why do you
- 5:38Speaker 1: think we do trafficking weather together so much? Because you
- 5:40Speaker 1: got we're in the car for fifteen minutes going from
- 5:42Speaker 1: home to work, or from work to home, or the
- 5:45Speaker 1: daycare to the house, or to the from the house
- 5:48Speaker 1: to the grocery store. They don't listen for three continuous hours.
- 5:51Speaker 1: Very few people do. And so when you do something
- 5:54Speaker 1: at ten after three and you do it again at
- 5:56Speaker 1: five point forty five, not a big deal. It's a
- 5:59Speaker 1: little seven an eight minute segment on a burger. But
- 6:02Speaker 1: somebody wanted to get upset over that. I don't know why, well,
- 6:07Speaker 1: because first of all, secondly, it's seven or eight minutes
- 6:13Speaker 1: that maybe you can do something else, play with your kids.
- 6:18Speaker 1: But they want to second guest stuff like that, which
- 6:22Speaker 1: in tandem with what was going on with Zach. Yeah,
- 6:24Speaker 1: I just spent the whole weekend being kind of annoyed,
- 6:28Speaker 1: and I don't think that. Basically. My advice to both
- 6:35Speaker 1: the people that came at me on that stuff was a, look,
- 6:39Speaker 1: the reason you listen is because we do what we
- 6:41Speaker 1: do and you listen every day and we appreciate it.
- 6:44Speaker 1: We truly do. We need you out there. We want
- 6:48Speaker 1: you out there. It's not like we're taking you for
- 6:51Speaker 1: granted at all. But you have to trust us to
- 6:54Speaker 1: do what we do as we do it, because there's
- 6:57Speaker 1: nobody in this building that's not pretty damn good at
- 7:00Speaker 1: this well except Zach, but he's learning, learning, he's learning.
- 7:05Speaker 2: Another seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven years, I'll be okay.
- 7:10Speaker 1: You will actually probably be competent in another ten years. Yeah,
- 7:14Speaker 1: So I mean, we'll wait, And that's what I told him.
- 7:17Speaker 1: We'll wait. We'll be here. Get a group of investors
- 7:22Speaker 1: together and start a radio station or start a podcast network.
- 7:25Speaker 1: Come get us. We'll be here because ultimately, you know what,
- 7:28Speaker 1: and I take great pride. It sounds arrogant is all
- 7:31Speaker 1: get out. It sounds cocky. We are six to ten
- 7:33Speaker 1: WTV and period. And I'm very proud to be able
- 7:38Speaker 1: to say that every day. I grew up with this station.
- 7:44Speaker 1: I mean I grew up with this station. Early seventies.
- 7:48Speaker 1: I was listening to Jack and Dick in the morning.
- 7:50Speaker 1: They were at another station, and when they left, I
- 7:55Speaker 1: flipped over and I found Bob Conners even as a child.
- 8:00Speaker 1: So I'm listening to counter Sergeant Bob Douglas had Traffic
- 8:02Speaker 1: in the Morning, the whole cast of characters over the years.
- 8:09Speaker 1: And I'm sitting in the same studio on the same
- 8:14Speaker 1: airwaves as these people that I was listening to and
- 8:17Speaker 1: looking up to growing. Oh my gosh, you can't tell
- 8:20Speaker 1: me I shouldn't be thrilled, because I am. I know,
- 8:26Speaker 1: I know, Jackson, you only have an hour eight two
- 8:28Speaker 1: one nine at eighty six eight two WTV, and Dana,
- 8:30Speaker 1: I'm even letting you talk today. You're on six NATV
- 8:32Speaker 1: in Oh, that's.
- 8:34Speaker 5: A nicely here. You know, my mother taught us when
- 8:40Speaker 5: we were younger. If you can't take care of them,
- 8:43Speaker 5: you don't make them. I had a friend, Chuck, who
- 8:47Speaker 5: had six kids, I six different men. When she was
- 8:52Speaker 5: about to lose or whip on her present young child,
- 8:56Speaker 5: she go out and get pregnant again. I think these
- 8:59Speaker 5: type but people need to be sterilized, completely sterilized. These
- 9:04Speaker 5: women around having kids by this guy and that guy
- 9:08Speaker 5: and expect someone of them to keep them. They need
- 9:10Speaker 5: to be sterilized.
- 9:10Speaker 1: Now, Data, you know, I'm not gonna fight with you,
- 9:12Speaker 1: but do you understand how how Adolf Hitler is that
- 9:15Speaker 1: sounds You don't fit into society. You don't you don't
- 9:17Speaker 1: conform to our rules. We we think you should be sterilized. Man,
- 9:20Speaker 1: that's that is a scary station.
- 9:22Speaker 5: That's right. I say that that's pair of a heck
- 9:25Speaker 5: of a lot of money. Or make them take uh,
- 9:28Speaker 5: have no plans put in so they can't get pregnant again,
- 9:32Speaker 5: so we don't have to pay for another illegitimate child.
- 9:35Speaker 5: When are we going to stop this craft?
- 9:37Speaker 1: So you think a country that can't agree on when
- 9:40Speaker 1: conception becomes or when sex becomes some conception and a
- 9:44Speaker 1: human leers as God say about data, you're you're applying,
- 9:48Speaker 1: you're applying standards. Your God's standards are God's standards. What
- 9:52Speaker 1: we are dealing with here is very rarely godly.
- 9:55Speaker 5: So, oh, I know you're right. Yeah, that's that's the problem.
- 9:59Speaker 1: They are not You got to work within the system
- 10:01Speaker 1: as it exists, or find a way to change the system.
- 10:04Speaker 1: And so far we have not found a way to
- 10:06Speaker 1: change the system.
- 10:07Speaker 5: You're right, I wish our legislators, but I think just
- 10:10Speaker 5: scared to to have the people as lolls. Yeah, you're
- 10:14Speaker 5: going to if you are unmarried, you want to have children,
- 10:19Speaker 5: You're going to have to take the norm planned.
- 10:21Speaker 1: Yeah, I will. I'll be honest with you. I would
- 10:24Speaker 1: be happy with people having to take some sort of
- 10:26Speaker 1: cognitive test before voting, but I know that's out of
- 10:28Speaker 1: the question. So I think you're you're probably in line
- 10:31Speaker 1: behind me on that. I got a run date. I
- 10:33Speaker 1: appreciate the call. Yeah, I've said that before, and it's
- 10:37Speaker 1: not meant to be an insult. It is not meant
- 10:40Speaker 1: to be an insult. However, when we're voting. I was
- 10:43Speaker 1: presidential election many years ago, and it was Barack Obama's
- 10:48Speaker 1: first election, and there was a young man in line
- 10:53Speaker 1: who was just thrilled as punch to be there voting.
- 10:56Speaker 1: He had turned eighteen and he was going.
- 10:58Speaker 7: To be voting, our vote, our vote for bolocko By
- 11:03Speaker 7: he's a good look at Batman, And that's a reasonable
- 11:08Speaker 7: impersonation of what he had to say.
- 11:11Speaker 1: And it occurred to me at that moment his vote
- 11:14Speaker 1: carries the same weight as his mine, and I don't
- 11:18Speaker 1: know that that's appropriate. Quite frankly, now, if he would
- 11:22Speaker 1: have said I'm voting for Barack Obama because he's a
- 11:25Speaker 1: good looking bluck Man. That's a different matter. You know,
- 11:28Speaker 1: I disagree completely with his logic, but I would understand
- 11:32Speaker 1: that at least he was mentally prepared to make a
- 11:34Speaker 1: decision based on completely erroneous reasons. But he was okay
- 11:39Speaker 1: the other guy, No, he wasn't eighteen or not. He
- 11:43Speaker 1: was not functioning on the level of a developed eighteen
- 11:47Speaker 1: year old person. But he had the same vote I had.
- 11:52Speaker 1: And there's nothing we can do about that. A two
- 11:54Speaker 1: one WTV and Jacob, you are on the Legacy Retirement
- 11:57Speaker 1: Group dot com phone line tip.
- 12:00Speaker 6: O. Good evening, now, you know, be seen.
- 12:11Speaker 4: You know he would be appalled and about Yeah, he was.
- 12:19Speaker 6: He was a very fair minded individual and I am
- 12:27Speaker 6: I am very certain.
- 12:29Speaker 4: That he would be rolling in his grave, God blessen.
- 12:32Speaker 6: So about how that was treat.
- 12:36Speaker 1: It, Yeah, I don't. I don't think that he would
- 12:41Speaker 1: be very good with it either. I mean, there were
- 12:42Speaker 1: times there were times when Bob would say, hang on that,
- 12:45Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you right here, right now, right
- 12:47Speaker 1: straight to your face. When when somebody somebody would raise
- 12:51Speaker 1: raise his ire, he would stop down occasionally and express
- 12:54Speaker 1: an opinion. Sometimes those opinions weren't popular, but he also
- 12:57Speaker 1: allowed you to express yours And that's all I'm asking
- 12:59Speaker 1: of anybody. Call up, have whatever opinions you want, but
- 13:03Speaker 1: allow Zach to have an opinion that may differ from
- 13:05Speaker 1: yours without going on the attack exactly.
- 13:10Speaker 4: And you know that that's something that you know, good lord.
- 13:19Speaker 4: He was very respectful about that. You never call anyone out.
- 13:25Speaker 4: And even if he got any male off and that's.
- 13:34Speaker 1: Uh, you got letters, Jacob. You are You're digitizing on me, buddy,
- 13:43Speaker 1: to the point where I really can't hear you. It's
- 13:45Speaker 1: the music is gonna start playing here in a second anyway,
- 13:47Speaker 1: so I'm gonna have to run the AI stuff that
- 13:50Speaker 1: I like this where they say the past you and
- 13:54Speaker 1: the modern you, or they'll show you like Sylvester Stallone
- 13:57Speaker 1: is Rocky in the first movie and then in Tulsa
- 14:00Speaker 1: and they showed them agent. That is one of the
- 14:03Speaker 1: coolest things in the world. I've been seeing more and
- 14:04Speaker 1: more of those videos. I don't know if you can
- 14:06Speaker 1: buy software that allows you to do those yourself, but
- 14:10Speaker 1: we need to check into that. Zach. Maybe you and
- 14:11Speaker 1: I can start a business.
- 14:13Speaker 2: I'm just sard.
- 14:15Speaker 1: Yeah, as long as you say the right things and
- 14:16Speaker 1: believe the right way, I'll take you on as a partner.
- 14:20Speaker 1: Time for me to pack up a wrap up and
- 14:22Speaker 1: get out of here.
