- 0:15Speaker 1: I'm sure you are too. That's just life, right, But
- 0:17Speaker 1: it's better to be busy than not busy. That's what
- 0:20Speaker 1: I always say. Yeah, I got people at my house
- 0:22Speaker 1: working on that ice dam. And when you sheet rock
- 0:25Speaker 1: and all that, they have to come, they have to
- 0:28Speaker 1: put a coat on, has to drive that to come

- 0:32Speaker 1: So yeah, they're gonna be working at my house today,
- 0:35Speaker 1: so I have to make sure I'm there for any
- 0:37Speaker 1: help that I can offer. So just wanted to come
- 0:39Speaker 1: and check in. Say hello, if you missed the show today.
- 0:42Speaker 1: I thought it was really good. You know, our boss
- 0:45Speaker 1: has been listening to our show a lot lately. I
- 0:48Speaker 1: don't know why. I don't mind it, but he's been
- 0:51Speaker 1: listening and giving feedback and he's been very happy with it,
- 0:55Speaker 1: which is great. So you want good feedback from the boss,
- 0:58Speaker 1: not bad, because if it's bad, then they call meetings.
- 1:01Speaker 1: They bring people in you know, from national to kind
- 1:04Speaker 1: of meet with us and go over things we're doing
- 1:06Speaker 1: right and things we're doing wrong. But he's been very,
- 1:08Speaker 1: very complimentary of our show. You know, he texted today
- 1:13Speaker 1: and said, another very funny show. You guys are really
- 1:15Speaker 1: on a roll. So you know, doing a morning show
- 1:18Speaker 1: is not easy, per se. And one thing I have
- 1:23Speaker 1: learned is that someone like a Maddie Matt Siegel, who
- 1:27Speaker 1: was an absolute legend, made it look so easy. He
- 1:31Speaker 1: was so good at it, and you know, he had
- 1:34Speaker 1: the natural comedic ability where he didn't need to do
- 1:38Speaker 1: any show prep. He didn't even need to talk about
- 1:40Speaker 1: what he was going to say on the air before
- 1:41Speaker 1: the segment aired. He didn't do anything. We used to
- 1:44Speaker 1: write up a trending sheets for him and he would
- 1:46Speaker 1: not read them. Sometimes he would skim through them, but
- 1:49Speaker 1: he most of the time would not read them and
- 1:51Speaker 1: he would just turn on the mic and he would
- 1:53Speaker 1: be able to carry a four hour show. And I
- 1:57Speaker 1: gotta be honest, man, Like I would see him do
- 1:59Speaker 1: it at first, and they'd be like, many could I
- 2:02Speaker 1: do that? You know, not that I wanted to, but
- 2:04Speaker 1: you start to think like, this dude does no prep.
- 2:07Speaker 1: This dude does no planning for anything and does a
- 2:09Speaker 1: hilarious show. And then when he retired and we got
- 2:13Speaker 1: the show, you learn this shit is not easy to entertain,
- 2:17Speaker 1: to engage, to be funny, to be serious when you
- 2:22Speaker 1: need to. There's a lot of things that go into
- 2:24Speaker 1: doing a live morning show. And you know, I think
- 2:27Speaker 1: we've found our way. You know, We've had some bumps,
- 2:29Speaker 1: we have up and downs, we had you know, some changes,
- 2:32Speaker 1: but I think we've we've found our way and found
- 2:34Speaker 1: our groove. You know. You know, it really just is
- 2:38Speaker 1: about planning right, gelling together, delivering the content, and just
- 2:46Speaker 1: being ourselves and being authentic, but also including the audience.
- 2:50Speaker 1: You know, I think that's one thing that kind of
- 2:53Speaker 1: because you'll never be able to match a show like
- 2:55Speaker 1: Maddie in the Morning. I mean just iconic. Like I
- 2:59Speaker 1: think back to my days on that show with Matt,
- 3:01Speaker 1: and he had a big part in who I am,
- 3:03Speaker 1: you know, and what I do. You know, this this
- 3:06Speaker 1: ability to include sound and to pull sound, which I'm
- 3:10Speaker 1: so proud of. We talked about that in the show today.
- 3:13Speaker 1: You know that was because I'm Matt. That was from
- 3:16Speaker 1: him wanting sound and having to be quick and him
- 3:19Speaker 1: not really understanding that things take time to get and
- 3:24Speaker 1: to put into the system, so you were forced. I
- 3:26Speaker 1: was forced to be fast, to learn to be fast,
- 3:29Speaker 1: to be able to pull stuff for him. So I
- 3:31Speaker 1: credit him a lot in that. But one thing that
- 3:35Speaker 1: he did not really do was include listeners only on
- 3:39Speaker 1: Right Now, which was fun. It worked. He didn't need
- 3:42Speaker 1: to you know what I mean, because he was a comedian.
- 3:44Speaker 1: So essentially he would do his show and tell jokes
- 3:47Speaker 1: and be funny and cover topical stories right and then
- 3:50Speaker 1: he had a call in segment every day called right
- 3:52Speaker 1: Now at seven forty or seven thirty five. That was
- 3:56Speaker 1: the listener's time to join in on the show. He
- 3:58Speaker 1: did not typically take call outside of that. He didn't
- 4:01Speaker 1: like the talkbacks. They were not for him. I think
- 4:04Speaker 1: towards the very end before he retired is when they
- 4:06Speaker 1: rolled them out and they came to me because they
- 4:09Speaker 1: kind of knew based on what I did, that I
- 4:12Speaker 1: would like them and that I could use them, and
- 4:14Speaker 1: so I pitched it to Matt and you should have
- 4:16Speaker 1: saw a look on his face. He was like, I
- 4:18Speaker 1: am not using those. But once you retired, we kind
- 4:21Speaker 1: of had the ability to do that, and I think
- 4:23Speaker 1: that's one important thing that we do is we include
- 4:26Speaker 1: our listeners. So this special with Bruno Mars is really
- 4:28Speaker 1: is a big deal because Bruno chose iHeart to partner with,
- 4:33Speaker 1: and he's not just going to go on at nine
- 4:34Speaker 1: o'clock on Kiss Went Away and play new songs. He's
- 4:37Speaker 1: also going to take talkback submissions and respond to some
- 4:42Speaker 1: of them. I mean, I'm sure there's gonna be a
- 4:43Speaker 1: ton of chances of him to choosing your talkback, probably slim,
- 4:47Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's an hour special and
- 4:50Speaker 1: he's got to play the new songs as well, so
- 4:53Speaker 1: doesn't hurt to send it in. So, you know, we
- 4:55Speaker 1: talked about on the show today that our boss had
- 4:58Speaker 1: told us that they they took what I do what
- 5:01Speaker 1: we do on the show with the talkbacks, and they
- 5:03Speaker 1: kind of presented that to Bruno Mars as an idea
- 5:08Speaker 1: of an part of the album rollout, which is really
- 5:11Speaker 1: really a cool thing. So I'm proud of that. I'm
- 5:14Speaker 1: proud of the way that I can use the talkbacks
- 5:17Speaker 1: and put them into the show, and I think that's
- 5:18Speaker 1: a big part of it. You know, that's essentially what
- 5:21Speaker 1: separates live radio, terrestrial radio from things like podcasts. You know,
- 5:27Speaker 1: podcasts are pre taped. They're fantastic. I listen to podcasts
- 5:30Speaker 1: a lot of them. I have my regulars that I
- 5:32Speaker 1: listen to every single week. A lot of them are
- 5:33Speaker 1: fitness related. But live radio is something you can turn on.
- 5:37Speaker 1: It's in the moment, right It's things like traffic and
- 5:40Speaker 1: weather and breaking stories, trending stories, and you're getting in,
- 5:44Speaker 1: you know, in real time reaction to things that's a
- 5:47Speaker 1: podcast don't have. So both serve their purpose. But it's
- 5:51Speaker 1: really cool to be in radio, you know, something that
- 5:55Speaker 1: still does it, a medium that still does that. If
- 5:58Speaker 1: we're live on the air and a story breaks, we
- 6:00Speaker 1: can talk about it. You know, happens all the time.
- 6:02Speaker 1: You know, Bill does a news report that he can
- 6:04Speaker 1: he can jump in there and report on the breaking story.
- 6:07Speaker 1: So I don't know, just some thoughts on this Thursday.
- 6:10Speaker 1: Don't forget the Bruno Mars. Tonight at nine o'clock tomorrow,
- 6:14Speaker 1: we will premiere a bunch of songs from the album,
- 6:17Speaker 1: and uh yeah, it's gonna be so crazy. Weeks started
- 6:20Speaker 1: with the blizzard and you know, Lisa's in Florida, so
- 6:23Speaker 1: there's a lot going on. But you know, what. We're
- 6:25Speaker 1: guaranteed to be here Monday through Friday. Step more on
- 6:28Speaker 1: vacation which is coming up in a couple weeks six am.
- 6:32Speaker 1: If you don't catch us live, you can catch us
- 6:33Speaker 1: on the podcast as well. So that's it for the
- 6:35Speaker 1: after show. Today, happen to get a great day. Peace,
