  Speaker 2: me thinking about those two great old shows. You know,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: they were on the air between the two of them
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: like forty five years and I went to IMDb and
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: was looking up there guest list. It's unbelievable. I mean,

  Speaker 2: from Jackie Mason, that Jane Fond, Charles Nelson, Wiley, I mean,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Mike Douglass had John Lennon co host with him for
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: a week, which is you know, in today's day and age,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: you couldn't have a more diametrically opposed at least looking

  Speaker 2: you know, characters, Mike Douglas and John Lennon and also
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: people forget that Dinah had a show back then.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Day was on. Yeah, you know, I was talking about
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Di Cavot once about this because he was famous for
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: having the biggest names in the world, names nobody else
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: could get, like Katherine Hepburn and Marlon Brando and orson,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: all these unbelievable and he said, this is a couple
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: of years ago. He said, he can't do it today
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: because who would those names be today. There's nobody today
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: that's a big star to everybody.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: It's true.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, like Bad Bunny, he's a big, big star.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: He's the hottest selling recording yardist, but half the population
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: never heard him. And right, so the star that everybody
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: would know or want to hear right now, there isn't
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: There isn't.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: As much social media. They don't really have to do
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: those things.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: That's the other thing, you know. You know, back in
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: the day, even Jane Fine had to go on the
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Mert Griffin Show to get you know, you know, a
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: movie talked about or whatever.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: She was like, yeah, that's the other thing. You used
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: to go on those shows. You had to plug something.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: But right, yeah, all right, Mike, thanks for calling. It's
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: a big problem today because they take right here at iHeart.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: We have the five, six seven biggest radio stations in
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the world right here on this floor now. Right over
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: there's Power one oh five Breakfast Club, and down there
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: is Light FM, and over there is the Z one hundred,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: and they each have the biggest names for their audience
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: coming up here every morning to do these shows. But
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: for these three stations don't know who the hell those
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: guests are down there because it's not their format. They
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: don't know those artists, and down there they don't know
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: who's on this station because it's all splintered. There's nobody again.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Bad Bunny is this big because you can get he's
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the biggest music star in the world. But when he
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: suddenly shows up at the Super Bowl, you know, sixty
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: percent of America don't know who the guy is. It's
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the same thing with well and everything. Even television. Nobody
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: watches the same show. Every time you talk to oh,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: have you been watching Royal Palm? And I don't know
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: what it is. You're not watching it. Every time they
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: tell you about a TV show, you never heard of it.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: You know, if this free years ago, everybody watched Seinfeld
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: talked about it. The next day, everybody watched Cheers. But
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: if you took the ten top biggest streaming shows today,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: eighty percent of America's never seen them and they don't
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: even know what they are. It's and you can't just

• 6:03
  Speaker 1: you to keep watching, like they just waste all your time,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: keep watching and it's ruining kids. And he testified. He said,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: it's the same as Netflix or any streaming service. It's
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: just binge watching. It's not our algorithm. People are in
