• 1:15
  Speaker 3: her songs, but I don't know a lot about her. Oh, see,
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: I don't know much about her. I think I've heard
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: some of that song, and I've definitely heard her name
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: a lot. I think I saw that she was topping
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: the charts, and I was like, I don't really know
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: what that is.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: She's been doing good, yeah. Yeah, I listen to her
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: a lot.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, all of her music is a story.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: I know one of her songs.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Which one? I forgot. It's the, she's from Texas, I
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: can tell.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I know that song.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I love it so much.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: I'm old school. I like R & B old school.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Does she spell her name E-L-L-E? E-L-L-A.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Langley. So, no. No, I'll have to look her up too.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're going to have to do a quick Google search.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: So a mix there. A lot of people saying they
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: stream music. So if they're not listening to the radio,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: they might not necessarily be open or hearing the new songs.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Ella Langley really rose. But data shows the numbers are
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: pretty even. Just as many people streaming music as they
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: are listening to music on their radios. Yet how we've
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: listened to music, this whole discussion has brought up how
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: we've listened to music has changed over the years.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: When I was growing up, I think we had a
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: tape deck in our car, and I had a CD
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: player that I used to listen to on the bus
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: to school, and I would skip with the bumps on
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: the bus and stuff. CD changer in my car. That
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: was my cool phase.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Don't say an A-track.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Yes, I did.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: I had an A-track.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: What, the fat one?
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I sure did.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: That was my first CD was Off the Wall, Michael Jackson.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Yes. Yeah. Okay, just interrupt one second. Every respondent is
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: a woman.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Yes. A lot of guys didn't like to want to
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: play along. One guy was, you want to get into this?
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: One guy was like asking him if he still listens
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: to the radio and he just.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Backed up from me every second. So Larry, this is
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: like a poll that's not fair. It's all females. Whatever.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, I can't control what I get sometimes. And look,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: and you're also talking to somebody who had a Barbie
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: boom box on the floor of her parents house. And
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: it's still there till this day. My parents are like,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: get it out. You're getting married. But it's still there, guys.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: So long gone are those days with people saying social
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: media plays a huge role in introducing them to new
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: music and things.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: One of the biggest things is TikTok right now really
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: helps and pushes out new artists or artists I've never
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: heard of. So I think that's one of the big
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: things that we have right now. Social media is everything.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: And then you never know the difference between I.A., And
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: what's real and what's fake. Because they have so much stuff.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: You know, exactly.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: When she said I was like, IA, AI, it's all
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: the same. Look, when I asked people who they would
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: love to see in concert, dead or alive, Ella Langley
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: was not on any of their lists. You'll hear the
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: range in ages, but there may be some singing and
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: it's certainly not AI.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: My favorite band is Fall Out Boy.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Gerald LaVert.

  Speaker 2: Michael Jackson.

• 4:33
  Speaker 3: my favorite. He's my absolute favorite artist.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: What song?
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: It's always so hard because everyone that I hear, I
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: always like.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Come on, there used to be a ballpark right here.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, Fly Me to the Moon's very basic. We've
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: got Pocket Full of Miracles.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: When I was 17, so that's what I was thinking about.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: When I was 17, it was.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: A very good year. It was a very good year
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: for small town girls. Do you remember.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: When you were 17? We did.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: And I would have, if she was alive, if he
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: was alive, if she was alive, we'd be going together.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: What a bias survey. Now you're doing sing-along student influence
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: to vote. You sent me out.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: No, she didn't even know who Ella Langley was. No,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: we got into it after.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Come on, take them on. Go ahead. You can argue
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: with program director Tom Cuddy. He rated Blinding Lights by
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: the weekend number one all time based on stats. And
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: that's the favorite of my wife. And you're not going
• 5:42
