  Speaker 3: the second biological lab that they found right out of

  Speaker 3: Las Vegas, Nevada. And then another Chinese national that was
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: driving a Femi he was too impatient to wait on

  Speaker 3: I totally agree with you. I am going to so
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: miss Cardinal Dolan. God bless that man.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we love Cardinal Dolan today's final day, but again

• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Cardinal Dolan, Cardinal Egan, It wasn't crazy about him either,

  Speaker 1: and then before that Cardinal O'Connor, who was another incredible cardinal, beloved, great,

• 1:41
  Speaker 3: John, how you doing, Hey, Mark, good morning, great big fan.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Thanks.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: I just want to ask you a question you were
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: talking about recently, how things can change the format and
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: the customers aren't happy.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: I always wanted to ask you.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: Why did CBSF FM in two thousand and five go
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: to that Jack FM? It was to me it was
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: the biggest fail. They lost all their iconic DJs. Do
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: you know the backstory on that?
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you get these sometimes these programming guys who they
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: looking like Atlanta and Jack FM is doing great in Atlanta,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: and they think it'll work here, and it happens all
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the time with Cracker Barrel or wherever. It's just wrong.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: And if you'll recall, everybody stopped listening to CBSFM, they
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: stopped playing oldies and then I started the Saturday night
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: oldies show, remember on the other station, for a few years. Now.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: The problem is CBSFM a few years later caved in.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: They went back to playing oldies, only it wasn't oldies.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: It was like eighties and nineties. But if you think
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: about it, when you were first listening to these oldies,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: it was from twenty years ago, twenty five years ago,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: and if you went back twenty five years now, that's
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: two thousand and one. Eighties and nineties or oldies, but
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: it was something about the sixties, fifties, sixties seventies. It
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: was a different kind of music. It was more melodic.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Once the eighties came along, it was a whole different
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: type of music. It doesn't it's not the same as oldiest.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Mike and Florida. Mike, how you doing,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Good morning Mark.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: Yes, Mike, Let's ask you a very similar question.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: So you were mentioning that you had booked at p
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: I HFM back in the day and now.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: It's w U s AN.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: So when these stations change format, is there a protocol
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: for you guys?
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: You know, would you like to stay and do sports
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: or you're out on your rear end? And how does it?
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: How do you adjust and how do you you know.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Well, you're usually out on your rear end. Depends how
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: good you are behind the scenes politically maneuvering business. It's
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: like that in any company. You know, you go in
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: and talk to them. If you convince them that you
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: can do sports. And I got a big background sports.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I'm a huge sports they'll they'll, they'll stick with you.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: It can happen, and uh, some sometimes people go and
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: sometimes people stay that. You know, there's stations have you
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, how many what?
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: And how many stations have you worked at over the
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: these years that have changed formats like that? It seems
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: like a fairly popular business decisions.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Actually w p I X FM, that was a pot
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: FM station we wanted, but we changed. We went through
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: several formats. I used to be there, Jim Kurr used
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: to be there.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: Uh.

• 5:38
  Speaker 1: how you doing, Hey.
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: Mark, good morning. I just wanted to make a comment.
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: Last year yesterday I was speaking or listening to you
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: about the economy, and I think one of the biggest
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: things that's still hurting America is the interest rates are
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: being so high. I'm a small business owner and I
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: work in the agro cultural industry, talk with farmers all
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: the time, and they're hurting. And everybody, I think right
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: now is still being crippled by the interest rates. And
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: so even though Trump has put in all kinds of
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: tax and semas and so forth that are going to
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: kick in this year, it still hasn't trickles.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: That's a good point. But the interest rates are coming down.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: They'll come down when you get your new FED chairman
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: should be in about three months, or get lower interest rates.
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: And well, we're hoping we can hang on that long.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: You can hang on, You can do it. Thanks for calling. Hey.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: You know, we have listeners all over the country who
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: get calls from all over the country. But even if
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I don't say where they're from, you can always tell.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: You can always tell when they're not from New York
• 6:40
