00:00.091 --> 00:02.432
[SPEAKER_03]: Michael Mera, Radio Entertainment.
00:04.772 --> 00:07.293
[SPEAKER_01]: I would like to go with the two freckles.
00:07.433 --> 00:15.095
[SPEAKER_03]: I have questions because your son is almost of an age where he's going to start losing teeth.
00:29.879 --> 00:31.421
[SPEAKER_07]: That was my favorite day to cut.
00:31.561 --> 00:32.542
[SPEAKER_07]: Why in my day?
00:32.562 --> 00:33.523
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, thank you very much.
00:33.683 --> 00:34.964
[SPEAKER_07]: Anyway, yeah, feel better.
00:35.004 --> 00:35.525
[SPEAKER_07]: My day.
00:35.585 --> 00:39.468
[SPEAKER_07]: We walked, we walked to school 43 miles with spikes in our shoes.
00:40.129 --> 00:42.211
[SPEAKER_05]: Anyway, we were happy.
00:42.551 --> 00:44.113
[SPEAKER_07]: And we were happy about it.
00:44.653 --> 00:51.780
[SPEAKER_07]: What do you have for us with the economic trends as far as getting a payout or teeth under the pillow?
00:51.840 --> 00:56.061
[SPEAKER_08]: Now, I'm curious because we have an international representation in studio today.
00:56.121 --> 01:01.423
[SPEAKER_08]: We have Italy represented, we have Bolivia represented, see, we have the United States represented.
01:01.443 --> 01:06.465
[SPEAKER_07]: You don't even know if in Italy or Bolivia, if that is a tradition, that's what I was going to ask.
01:06.485 --> 01:08.586
[SPEAKER_07]: That's what the two falls out that you put it under the pillow.
01:08.606 --> 01:08.966
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
01:09.166 --> 01:09.846
[SPEAKER_08]: I would like to know.
01:09.866 --> 01:14.548
[SPEAKER_08]: For example, Mr. Andrea, did was there a tooth fairy tradition in Italy?
01:15.617 --> 01:16.018
[SPEAKER_08]: Not for me.
01:16.058 --> 01:17.301
[SPEAKER_08]: No, not for him.
01:17.361 --> 01:17.742
[SPEAKER_08]: No, okay.
01:17.762 --> 01:18.122
[SPEAKER_07]: Not for him.
01:18.303 --> 01:25.278
[SPEAKER_07]: Is there anything is there anything close to anything at all when you're a kid and you start losing your teeth?
01:26.618 --> 01:28.359
[SPEAKER_00]: as far as, like, the two-thirds concern.
01:28.539 --> 01:32.460
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, like, we get money in it all, like, right of passage or anything.
01:32.540 --> 01:37.002
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, when I lost my teeth, I was happy that I lost my teeth and that my life, that way.
01:37.282 --> 01:44.705
[SPEAKER_07]: You know what, you know what feels great about that answer is, doesn't it make all of us feel like we have to have amusement and diversion?
01:44.745 --> 01:45.585
[SPEAKER_05]: Sure, I don't know.
01:45.625 --> 01:49.627
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, it's like, we lost the teeth, so we're going to put it on the pillow and get a corded duck.
01:50.757 --> 01:52.639
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, no wonder we're the way we are, right?
01:52.719 --> 01:53.599
[SPEAKER_07]: All right, anyway, go ahead.
01:53.639 --> 02:02.046
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, it's they've done a study and the amount of money left by the tooth fairy is actually sort of in tandem with the way the economy is.
02:02.467 --> 02:05.549
[SPEAKER_07]: And by the way, we didn't ask an Oscar, but we'll be able to do the answer to that.
02:05.569 --> 02:07.771
[SPEAKER_07]: They just string them all together and they make jewelry out.
02:07.991 --> 02:10.934
[SPEAKER_07]: And then the sell them on the opposite city streets with a pan flip.
02:13.731 --> 02:15.953
[SPEAKER_04]: Wow, I can't beat that.
02:17.515 --> 02:20.678
[SPEAKER_04]: It's absolutely right, but why don't one's cost more?
02:20.718 --> 02:21.459
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
02:21.479 --> 02:24.722
[SPEAKER_07]: You can have the puncho or the necklace out of my son's teeth.
02:24.762 --> 02:25.763
[SPEAKER_05]: My son's teeth.
02:25.843 --> 02:26.424
[SPEAKER_05]: My face.
02:26.544 --> 02:27.445
[SPEAKER_05]: My face.
02:27.866 --> 02:28.346
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
02:28.446 --> 02:29.347
[SPEAKER_05]: And don't be scared away.
02:29.387 --> 02:30.909
[SPEAKER_05]: The evil spirit.
02:31.189 --> 02:31.709
[SPEAKER_05]: La Bruha.
02:32.330 --> 02:34.853
[SPEAKER_07]: I've actually painted them in different colors there for you.
02:35.473 --> 02:36.554
[SPEAKER_07]: You will enjoy these.
02:36.594 --> 02:39.577
[SPEAKER_07]: So last season with lead paint Mike was cheaper.
02:39.837 --> 02:40.518
[SPEAKER_07]: The paint is lead.
02:40.698 --> 02:41.419
[SPEAKER_07]: It will last forever.
02:41.519 --> 02:42.660
[SPEAKER_08]: That is why the teeth fell out.
02:43.201 --> 02:45.343
[SPEAKER_08]: The men paint.
02:45.583 --> 02:46.143
[SPEAKER_05]: The chips.
02:46.524 --> 02:47.325
[SPEAKER_05]: The 2000s.
02:47.445 --> 02:48.566
[SPEAKER_05]: It's great.
02:49.186 --> 02:53.691
[SPEAKER_07]: Even if you're a teeth necklace, they ask her baby teeth necklace.
02:54.150 --> 02:55.351
[SPEAKER_05]: Go pick the wall, son.
02:55.731 --> 02:56.531
[SPEAKER_07]: Thank you very much.
02:56.931 --> 02:58.552
[SPEAKER_05]: Look at that blue, it's perfect.
02:59.113 --> 03:05.256
[SPEAKER_07]: Take your fingernail, scrape that wall, and then put it into the cup and we will take it home, put water and it will make new paint.
03:06.262 --> 03:08.845
[SPEAKER_07]: And then we will paint your teeth with it as South America.
03:08.865 --> 03:09.847
[SPEAKER_07]: That's it.
03:09.887 --> 03:10.167
[SPEAKER_07]: It's so sad.
03:10.207 --> 03:10.588
[SPEAKER_04]: It's so sad.
03:10.608 --> 03:10.868
[SPEAKER_07]: It's so sad.
03:10.888 --> 03:11.148
[SPEAKER_07]: It's so sad.
03:11.168 --> 03:11.389
[SPEAKER_07]: It's so sad.
03:11.409 --> 03:11.829
[SPEAKER_07]: It's so sad.
03:11.849 --> 03:12.190
[SPEAKER_08]: It's so sad.
03:12.210 --> 03:12.550
[SPEAKER_08]: It's so sad.
03:12.570 --> 03:13.151
[SPEAKER_04]: It's so sad.
03:13.171 --> 03:13.692
[SPEAKER_08]: It's so sad.
03:13.732 --> 03:13.952
[SPEAKER_04]: It's so sad.
03:13.972 --> 03:14.453
[SPEAKER_08]: It's so sad.
03:14.473 --> 03:14.813
[SPEAKER_08]: It's so sad.
03:14.853 --> 03:15.274
[SPEAKER_08]: It's so sad.
03:15.294 --> 03:15.614
[SPEAKER_08]: It's so sad.
03:15.634 --> 03:16.095
[SPEAKER_08]: It's so sad.
03:16.115 --> 03:16.535
[SPEAKER_08]: It's so sad.
03:16.575 --> 03:17.176
[SPEAKER_08]: It's so sad.
03:17.196 --> 03:17.597
[SPEAKER_08]: It's so sad.
03:17.617 --> 03:17.897
[SPEAKER_08]: It's so sad.
03:17.917 --> 03:18.237
[SPEAKER_08]: It's so sad.
03:18.257 --> 03:18.858
[SPEAKER_08]: It's so sad.
03:18.878 --> 03:19.419
[SPEAKER_08]: It's so sad.
03:19.439 --> 03:19.819
[SPEAKER_08]: It's so sad.
03:24.665 --> 03:26.828
[SPEAKER_07]: I think this is a conjuring thing.
03:26.928 --> 03:29.790
[SPEAKER_07]: I think it's been a quarter forever or a dollar.
03:30.091 --> 03:30.411
[SPEAKER_07]: That's it.
03:30.651 --> 03:34.695
[SPEAKER_07]: It's a quarter if if it's shifted with Robert me It shifted with Robert.
03:34.715 --> 03:35.436
[SPEAKER_08]: What did you bid?
03:35.476 --> 03:41.462
[SPEAKER_08]: Did you give your kids money for for tea five bucks for Robert by the time He was five bucks.
03:41.662 --> 03:42.343
[SPEAKER_08]: That's where we were
03:43.924 --> 03:44.904
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, it's true though.
03:45.044 --> 03:56.088
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, so I mean, I think that is probably I think that is probably where people are at but also I've heard parents do like the tooth very left you a toothbrush or a small toy or something like that.
03:56.148 --> 04:02.550
[SPEAKER_08]: And then there was also carry was big on writing letters or notes like he brushing your teeth now.
04:02.611 --> 04:05.632
[SPEAKER_07]: Let me ask you this as parents of the year.
04:05.752 --> 04:06.872
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, both of you are.
04:06.952 --> 04:21.913
[SPEAKER_07]: yeah i mean nobody loves their kids more it's fan and then by the way with my older children i was perhaps the absentee dad right not even the perhaps part i was but you cut a snuck in at night like the tooth fairy i just
04:22.614 --> 04:25.837
[SPEAKER_08]: That's why I'm trying to be a problem.
04:25.877 --> 04:27.559
[SPEAKER_08]: No, it's five dollars.
04:27.679 --> 04:29.280
[SPEAKER_08]: Mike, I'm quote this study right now.
04:29.360 --> 04:34.765
[SPEAKER_08]: According to the tooth fairy poll tooth fairy index, which has been in place since I believe, 1998.
04:36.327 --> 04:38.208
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, good for that.
04:38.789 --> 04:42.793
[SPEAKER_08]: According to the index, roughly 450 per tooth was paid out in 2016.
04:43.053 --> 04:44.394
[SPEAKER_08]: That is the national average.
04:44.414 --> 04:44.654
[SPEAKER_08]: 450 a tooth.
04:45.990 --> 04:50.213
[SPEAKER_05]: A fin, I got to put a, I got to put a Lincoln under the pillow in 2017.
04:51.013 --> 04:52.935
[SPEAKER_05]: A spit blower.
04:52.955 --> 04:54.135
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, come on.
04:54.376 --> 04:55.096
[SPEAKER_05]: I remember.
04:55.356 --> 04:57.358
[SPEAKER_04]: Because I grew up in the States, right?
04:57.418 --> 04:58.158
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
04:58.398 --> 04:58.679
[SPEAKER_04]: The first.
04:58.759 --> 05:03.162
[SPEAKER_04]: And it shows the first time that I asked for money for my tooth.
05:03.342 --> 05:03.562
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
05:04.042 --> 05:16.015
[SPEAKER_04]: My dad looked at me like I was crazy and I said all the kids at school get money when the tooth fairy comes and he was and I remember him being disgusted by that fact that you get paid to actually just evolve and grow up.
05:19.719 --> 05:26.002
[SPEAKER_04]: And he just said, uh, no fairy here and whatever Spanish, you know, like, like, screw that.
05:26.022 --> 05:29.924
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, it's just what normal people think it's like what Andreas said.
05:29.944 --> 05:31.765
[SPEAKER_07]: He felt it was happy.
05:31.805 --> 05:34.486
[SPEAKER_07]: They fell out and I moved on to my message.
05:34.587 --> 05:37.308
[SPEAKER_04]: Otherwise, would be Rosen Roosevelt teeth, like a great white shark.
05:37.428 --> 05:40.449
[SPEAKER_04]: I think my dad was, he was probably more worried about the braces.
05:40.469 --> 05:42.210
[SPEAKER_04]: He's like, well, we're going to have to go to those braces soon.
05:42.250 --> 05:43.031
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's what happened.
05:43.071 --> 05:44.492
[SPEAKER_07]: It's trying to $5 bill.
05:44.532 --> 05:45.212
[SPEAKER_07]: I didn't know that.
05:45.352 --> 05:47.293
[SPEAKER_07]: I, uh, I'm not sure whether I would pony that.
05:47.553 --> 06:08.528
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't I like the idea of like a quarter what about a letter a letter seems like so much work Who has the time letters carry us lots of time what would you let her say what would let her say Fairly well, too She said it would be like dear Robert you know your father does much less than your mother in this household She'd really write them a letter.
06:08.548 --> 06:10.169
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, she would be like it would always be like
06:11.760 --> 06:13.101
[SPEAKER_08]: glad that you're doing well.
06:13.282 --> 06:14.242
[SPEAKER_08]: Thank you so much.
06:14.343 --> 06:16.364
[SPEAKER_08]: We love you the tooth very something simple like that.
06:16.805 --> 06:23.091
[SPEAKER_08]: And there was a panic to your one year where Julia lost a tooth and then literally lost it couldn't find it in the house.
06:23.491 --> 06:23.651
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
06:23.732 --> 06:26.194
[SPEAKER_08]: And so Julia is like three or three and a half.
06:26.434 --> 06:26.855
[SPEAKER_08]: And she's like,
06:27.588 --> 06:33.552
[SPEAKER_08]: She lost her teeth at three and a half or she was young as she'll I think like four maybe I don't know I don't need this four and a half.
06:33.592 --> 06:46.481
[SPEAKER_08]: He's got a one loose one right now And as she was so panicked, she says and she looked me she says dad Too very won't come if I can't present the tooth You don't really need evidence the tooth fairy knows what's going on.
06:46.761 --> 06:54.326
[SPEAKER_07]: I said let's leave the tooth fairy a note and see what happens You know down here in Cape Coral Florida where the adults lose their teeth.
06:54.627 --> 06:56.248
[SPEAKER_07]: They all get gifts to different gifts from that
06:59.025 --> 07:06.828
[SPEAKER_07]: They're falling out a whole lot of times full size mullers with the roots still I don't make a root with a bloody root.
07:07.428 --> 07:26.935
[SPEAKER_07]: You know you get an extra extra gifts to deliver you for the meth with that What I I just think this is this is past me But I remember Elizabeth yeah, she was freaked out about of the tooth and I I extracted the tooth for her Because it was literally hanging there and I remember you ever do the door out on the string thing I didn't do the door knob, but I distracted her and I said
07:27.335 --> 07:29.958
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, I think if, and I pulled it right there.
07:30.018 --> 07:30.618
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, no.
07:30.699 --> 07:31.259
[SPEAKER_07]: And now hold on.
07:31.660 --> 07:35.604
[SPEAKER_07]: She didn't even feel it and he was so thrilled because I got it.
07:36.084 --> 07:39.447
[SPEAKER_07]: And Elizabeth was freaked out about rocking it back and forth.
07:39.467 --> 07:43.271
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, it's like, do you know who Daddy and I said, let me just, I'm not going to touch it.
07:43.331 --> 07:46.675
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm not going to, I just want to end then I grabbed it like that and knocked it out.
07:47.235 --> 07:53.302
[SPEAKER_07]: And I don't know what my son will be like, but I think that $5 seems, I guess, it's the national average.
07:53.322 --> 08:00.911
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, it's, if you go for the, actually, 413 was the index in 2017, it went down because of the economy.
08:01.191 --> 08:03.213
[SPEAKER_08]: And they break it down by regions of the country.
08:03.273 --> 08:04.475
[SPEAKER_07]: Now, let me just give you this.
08:04.635 --> 08:06.056
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay, with that survey.
08:06.197 --> 08:06.357
[SPEAKER_07]: Great.
08:07.497 --> 08:33.724
[SPEAKER_08]: 413 is this a statistical thing because is a parent really going to say what's the national average on a and count change I don't know because there's an error based on the people that might be giving a dollar exactly it's based that way and it breaks down by region two uh the west western states average 485 per tooth a 435 in the northeast uh 412 New Englanders through Google doing wonders there and in the Midwestern states Mike only
08:35.044 --> 08:36.365
[SPEAKER_07]: That's all just three of them.
08:36.665 --> 08:37.885
[SPEAKER_07]: I live with them down here.
08:37.925 --> 08:38.966
[SPEAKER_07]: Tight is a drop, right?
08:39.306 --> 08:41.027
[SPEAKER_07]: I, a tighter than tight can be.
08:41.427 --> 08:42.267
[SPEAKER_07]: All from Scotland.
08:42.648 --> 08:46.069
[SPEAKER_07]: They are all, I was gonna be on a, you're crap.
08:46.329 --> 08:48.030
[SPEAKER_07]: I live in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
08:48.070 --> 08:50.271
[SPEAKER_07]: You're not gonna get more than $2 for a two.
08:54.297 --> 08:57.158
[SPEAKER_07]: That's the way that's going to roll down here.
08:57.998 --> 09:01.239
[SPEAKER_07]: I think the letter is sweet, but do you know what Carla does for my son?
09:01.299 --> 09:08.222
[SPEAKER_07]: What's she puts a little note in his lunch every day that mommy and daddy love you or a little have a nice day with a little hard.
09:08.242 --> 09:08.782
[SPEAKER_07]: That's cool.
09:09.102 --> 09:10.583
[SPEAKER_07]: She does that every single day.
09:10.643 --> 09:11.643
[SPEAKER_07]: I think that's very, very sweet.
09:11.743 --> 09:13.864
[SPEAKER_08]: I remember the one tooth that I remember I'm using.
09:14.084 --> 09:16.765
[SPEAKER_08]: Daddy's at the same note that the tooth very left for you.
09:16.805 --> 09:18.265
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, I remember that you got with the tooth very.
09:18.386 --> 09:22.087
[SPEAKER_08]: I remember losing one tooth in school and I lost it in a rice crispy treat.
09:22.747 --> 09:25.308
[SPEAKER_08]: I took the rice crispy treat out of my mouth and the tooth was jammed in it.
09:25.688 --> 09:26.228
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh wow.
09:26.328 --> 09:27.708
[SPEAKER_08]: So it was a little best way to go.
09:27.748 --> 09:28.348
[SPEAKER_04]: It was a pretty flavor.
09:28.368 --> 09:29.428
[SPEAKER_04]: It was a fly by other.
09:29.608 --> 09:35.250
[SPEAKER_04]: My brother pulled out one of my baby teeth with a piece of string, like he would have seen any movie or cartoon.
09:35.270 --> 09:36.670
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, like a three-stooge is a good action.
09:36.710 --> 09:37.210
[SPEAKER_04]: Sure that.
09:37.230 --> 09:40.971
[SPEAKER_07]: Did he do it with the door or did he just yank it with the... Oh no, he just yanked it.
09:40.991 --> 09:45.512
[SPEAKER_04]: He said one and then he did it on two and it was my older brother, who what is four years old in the me.
09:46.192 --> 09:50.333
[SPEAKER_04]: And he said, and I just start crying, bleeding everywhere and he said, he's a doctor.
09:53.002 --> 09:55.683
[SPEAKER_04]: I've ever seen, they were like, whoa, you do that to me.
09:55.883 --> 09:57.064
[SPEAKER_04]: And I have, I was all gums.
09:57.384 --> 10:01.026
[SPEAKER_08]: You know, that's how my doctor might remove my toenails.
10:01.246 --> 10:02.386
[SPEAKER_08]: What, they turned it blue.
10:02.586 --> 10:07.869
[SPEAKER_07]: Chad Ram, in my neighborhood, Chad Ram actually told me he was going to help me with my tooth because it was loose.
10:08.249 --> 10:13.811
[SPEAKER_07]: But he took nylon rope and tied it around my neck and then tied the back of the, the back of his father's sports group.
10:14.051 --> 10:15.272
[SPEAKER_08]: Woo, woo, woo, woo.
10:15.372 --> 10:16.052
[SPEAKER_03]: Chad Ram.
10:16.072 --> 10:17.853
[SPEAKER_08]: You're able to keep up for a little bit, were you?
10:22.694 --> 10:24.435
[SPEAKER_08]: No comment on Rusty Ford's theme song?
10:25.535 --> 10:26.316
[SPEAKER_08]: Just got paid.
10:27.496 --> 10:30.518
[SPEAKER_06]: Rusty Ford, Friday night.
10:30.538 --> 10:37.801
[SPEAKER_06]: They turned off the electricity at my apartment, but I spent my money, bad at night.
10:37.841 --> 10:41.383
[SPEAKER_06]: I forgot about me doing it the bar, doing it standing up the bar.
10:42.576 --> 10:44.037
[SPEAKER_07]: God, the go-go-80s, Jesus.
10:44.097 --> 10:48.001
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, I don't play this song a lot, but I just want to make sure you knew I played it.
10:48.061 --> 10:48.461
[SPEAKER_08]: That's all.
10:48.761 --> 10:53.826
[SPEAKER_07]: Man, I don't even remember the stories from him, but I mean, there were stories like, I think it was New Year's Eve.
10:54.306 --> 11:03.514
[SPEAKER_07]: I began the evening with him, had a cocktail, and then we went out to some party, and then he ended up like naked at somebody's door at seven o'clock in the morning.
11:03.554 --> 11:08.358
[SPEAKER_07]: Didn't he date his jaw was sore, because he got smacked by some, I don't weird stuff when I happened.
11:08.398 --> 11:10.640
[SPEAKER_07]: It was just a lot of stuff going on with that guy.
11:11.121 --> 11:19.716
[SPEAKER_08]: There's one story that we've told on the bonus show that I won't trouble you with here, but I do recall one story didn't he date someone who was ostensibly a news person on ABC radio
11:20.635 --> 11:21.816
[SPEAKER_07]: I have no idea.
11:21.936 --> 11:22.617
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't remember.
11:22.717 --> 11:25.279
[SPEAKER_07]: I hate it and scream about stories.
11:25.319 --> 11:25.799
[SPEAKER_07]: What do I have?
11:25.959 --> 11:30.563
[SPEAKER_08]: The story that I remember and I think you told it to me is they had a fight in a living Yeah, oh, okay.
11:30.683 --> 11:30.923
[SPEAKER_07]: All right.
11:30.943 --> 11:33.205
[SPEAKER_07]: Now see you you said it in the you it was a local.
11:33.585 --> 11:35.087
[SPEAKER_07]: It was a national.
11:35.207 --> 11:42.913
[SPEAKER_07]: No, no, not at all But I mean she's the person it was working at a competing radio state right and a and you've got in a fight with her
11:43.753 --> 12:08.179
[SPEAKER_07]: And because they were on such horrible terms, he was in the back of a limo and began a shouting at the top of his lungs, a description of her, Nether regions, and the, how do I put this, all right, he yelled out the window or on the street to her that, and this is prior, boy, this is hard.
12:08.619 --> 12:11.140
[SPEAKER_07]: Julie Broadcaster is the only reason I'm struggling with it.
12:11.800 --> 12:17.782
[SPEAKER_07]: The reason I'm struggling with this is because it just takes a while to formulate this.
12:18.102 --> 12:26.144
[SPEAKER_07]: What he was yelling at the young lady in the heat of battle and and Lord knows no one wants to be around a domestic officer.
12:26.184 --> 12:28.305
[SPEAKER_08]: And he wanted to win this argument badly.
12:28.585 --> 12:32.147
[SPEAKER_07]: And he was going, he was going low in more ways than one.
12:32.227 --> 12:39.872
[SPEAKER_07]: And let me just say when he, when he shouted this on the street, after the initial shock war off, oh my, did it stick.
12:40.612 --> 12:43.194
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh my, did we think about it forever after that?
12:43.334 --> 12:53.440
[SPEAKER_07]: And on the street corner, he was yelling at her as they were in the middle of this fight, a term that is used for grooming down there.
12:55.185 --> 12:58.229
[SPEAKER_07]: And it was, but it was not a, it was not a delicate turn.
12:58.289 --> 13:01.933
[SPEAKER_07]: No, it was, it was, well, the first part of it was shaved.
13:02.734 --> 13:04.476
[SPEAKER_08]: And you know what, it was the second time.
13:04.496 --> 13:09.382
[SPEAKER_08]: It was yelled at at a time that that was not time that was not a common place.
13:09.422 --> 13:10.583
[SPEAKER_07]: Now it's a celebrated.
13:10.683 --> 13:10.944
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
13:10.984 --> 13:13.266
[SPEAKER_07]: And now it was like someone, and Brazil.
13:13.887 --> 13:19.812
[SPEAKER_07]: It would have been celebrated in today's vernacular, but hardwood fires.
13:20.292 --> 13:25.417
[SPEAKER_07]: It was, uh, it was perhaps a badge of dishonor, a zero-scaped lawn.
13:25.777 --> 13:29.000
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, he felt he felt screaming it at the top.
13:29.620 --> 13:34.504
[SPEAKER_08]: He was indicating that she was a woman with a sleuth state of morality.
13:34.825 --> 13:37.387
[SPEAKER_07]: That's kind of where he was going.
13:37.807 --> 13:39.609
[SPEAKER_07]: And there are many, many stories.
13:39.629 --> 13:41.230
[SPEAKER_07]: And she was ahead of her time, really.
13:41.590 --> 13:43.812
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, quite a character back in the day.
13:43.832 --> 13:44.633
[SPEAKER_07]: That was good fun.
13:44.673 --> 13:45.473
[SPEAKER_07]: Wasn't it good fun?
13:45.814 --> 13:48.056
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I remember the DJ that was proud.
13:48.236 --> 13:50.678
[SPEAKER_07]: And this is a dumb DJ, they really are dumb.
13:51.078 --> 14:07.345
[SPEAKER_07]: Let me just say DJ 101 most people that get into the business of DJ them do so and you could make a case that a lot of professional athletes are the same way you're your men in their early 20s and you're getting into this business because you think
14:07.945 --> 14:23.969
[SPEAKER_07]: that if you are successful in this business, you will have a good time with the ladies that you will get lots of dates and that is your motivating factor and that makes for some very strange and just horrendous human beings.
14:24.909 --> 14:31.291
[SPEAKER_07]: The one that came running in who was somehow very excited that he had contracted gonorrhea.
14:31.891 --> 14:49.436
[SPEAKER_07]: And I just don't, I don't understand why he was saying it, but he looked around because well, maybe because he looked like he was from middle earth to start, and the fact that he contracted this indicated that he actually had a woman choose to be with him carnally.
14:49.476 --> 14:55.418
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, but that's the same thing as if someone came in screaming, they were in a car accident, as opposed to telling you, I'd say the fact is again.
14:55.678 --> 14:55.978
[SPEAKER_08]: Yes.
14:56.118 --> 14:57.259
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, we have the alarm.
15:00.885 --> 15:01.546
[SPEAKER_07]: Sorry about that.
15:01.606 --> 15:03.548
[SPEAKER_04]: You turn on the bird's just a little bit.
15:03.568 --> 15:04.630
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah, it's so.
15:04.890 --> 15:07.713
[SPEAKER_04]: So it was really something special.
15:08.334 --> 15:11.938
[SPEAKER_07]: Other DJs just did crazy thing.
15:11.978 --> 15:13.200
[SPEAKER_08]: You've worked with some of the best.
15:13.480 --> 15:17.886
[SPEAKER_08]: Who was the guy that would cover the air studio glass with newspaper because he could be a Tom Kent.
15:17.986 --> 15:18.566
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, that was TK.
15:19.187 --> 15:19.527
[SPEAKER_07]: T.K.
15:19.567 --> 15:23.789
[SPEAKER_07]: Tom Kent like to be think about this abnormal personality and T.K.
15:23.849 --> 15:25.029
[SPEAKER_07]: I believe is syndicated now.
15:25.049 --> 15:28.290
[SPEAKER_07]: He does a music show and T.K.
15:29.451 --> 15:34.693
[SPEAKER_07]: You're on the radio because you want your voice to be heard by thousands of people.
15:35.333 --> 15:41.477
[SPEAKER_07]: But yet, you don't want to be seen while your voice is heard by the thousands of people.
15:41.537 --> 15:59.529
[SPEAKER_07]: So what you do when you have a remote broadcast, the one that comes to mind was WAVA was broadcasting live down at the National Christmas Tree, and we had a mobile studio in a little trailer down there, and the ritual for TK when he would arrive to do his shift.
15:59.929 --> 16:06.572
[SPEAKER_07]: would be to put masking tape and album covers over the windows, so no one could see him.
16:06.712 --> 16:10.393
[SPEAKER_08]: Was it like an inflatable music machine that looked like a boom box?
16:10.473 --> 16:13.134
[SPEAKER_08]: But it was sort of like a mobile home that you could broadcast.
16:13.214 --> 16:14.415
[SPEAKER_07]: It was kind of a mobile home.
16:14.495 --> 16:15.655
[SPEAKER_08]: I have an air check of TK.
16:15.695 --> 16:16.696
[SPEAKER_08]: Do you want to hear what he sounded like?
16:16.716 --> 16:17.476
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, it was on the air.
16:17.496 --> 16:18.076
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, it was on the air.
16:18.096 --> 16:18.656
[SPEAKER_08]: All right, here we go.
16:18.676 --> 16:19.817
[SPEAKER_08]: TK, Tom Ken.
16:20.202 --> 16:21.303
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll hit 155, W-A-V-A, presenting Bell Wave Busters.
16:21.343 --> 16:23.585
[SPEAKER_02]: It's disgusting ridiculous things to do while driving home on the Bell Wave right now.
16:23.625 --> 16:25.967
[SPEAKER_02]: I want you to pound your fist on the dashboard and beat your music.
16:25.987 --> 16:46.445
[SPEAKER_02]: Go ahead, don't be shy, go ahead, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder,
16:47.851 --> 16:50.473
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, don't you have the A. Hi, C.K.
16:50.493 --> 16:52.794
[SPEAKER_01]: I was wondering if he could play some party music, some points.
16:52.835 --> 16:54.376
[SPEAKER_01]: We're having a big party in Georgetown.
16:54.856 --> 16:55.676
[SPEAKER_02]: We're just a party yet.
16:56.217 --> 16:57.798
[SPEAKER_01]: I think you're a sound.
16:57.858 --> 16:58.558
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on, tell me.
16:58.598 --> 17:00.440
[SPEAKER_02]: We want to get everybody over this.
17:00.880 --> 17:02.341
[SPEAKER_01]: We want to get a lot of people here.
17:02.661 --> 17:03.342
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, let me hear.
17:03.362 --> 17:04.182
[SPEAKER_01]: We want to hear.
17:04.202 --> 17:05.023
[SPEAKER_01]: I would die for you.
17:05.163 --> 17:06.324
[SPEAKER_01]: And who would you die for?
17:06.604 --> 17:07.284
[SPEAKER_01]: We can't!
17:07.424 --> 17:08.665
[SPEAKER_01]: We can't!
17:09.206 --> 17:10.006
[SPEAKER_07]: Ben, you know what?
17:10.086 --> 17:10.627
[SPEAKER_07]: You know what?
17:10.667 --> 17:12.048
[SPEAKER_05]: This is such a great station.
17:12.088 --> 17:12.388
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm here, man.
17:12.408 --> 17:13.208
[SPEAKER_07]: This guy's balls.
17:13.228 --> 17:14.309
[SPEAKER_07]: This guy's a top chill.
17:14.329 --> 17:15.450
[SPEAKER_05]: He's the main guy.
17:15.830 --> 17:17.211
[SPEAKER_05]: That was a night time DJ.
17:17.231 --> 17:18.331
[SPEAKER_04]: He was great.
17:18.371 --> 17:20.732
[SPEAKER_04]: You can put that guy up against Tommy McFlyney
17:46.310 --> 17:52.176
[SPEAKER_08]: the era of the top 40 jock sort of predates you a little bit where where that could sound hackish against you.
17:52.597 --> 17:58.723
[SPEAKER_08]: But W A V A had that energy 24 hours a day and that's why it was on the stage that you never turned off.
17:59.024 --> 18:07.593
[SPEAKER_07]: That was a that was a you know they used the term flamethrower that was a fun radio station to be a part of and here I am but but these guys had quirks.
18:07.853 --> 18:20.300
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I remember Shadowsmith, Shadowsmith, we walk into Shadowsmith, and I think Don told the story about seeing Shadows who is a very moody guy, super moody and super dark, and he walked in.
18:20.340 --> 18:27.645
[SPEAKER_07]: And Shadows, how you doing today in Shadows, takes his fingers like this, with his thumb and his forfing on goes, I'm sure they're proud.
18:31.324 --> 18:46.891
[SPEAKER_07]: The only other thing about TK, the slide light on TK is that we used to have station conclates where we have dinner meeting, and when we'd have a party, if it was a party where food was served, the bit was we'd all kind of go off to the side and watch T.K.
18:46.911 --> 18:51.353
[SPEAKER_07]: Because he ate like a hyena that was a real, that's another darkest one.
18:51.373 --> 18:53.034
[SPEAKER_08]: That's another DJ trade I think.
18:53.174 --> 18:54.395
[SPEAKER_07]: A lot of DJs are like that.
18:54.895 --> 18:56.436
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, and free food with DJs.
18:56.556 --> 18:58.918
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, yeah, free anything with you.
18:59.238 --> 19:02.160
[SPEAKER_07]: You got that disease early on when you got into the radio.
19:02.200 --> 19:02.620
[SPEAKER_04]: Were you?
19:02.660 --> 19:06.483
[SPEAKER_04]: Were you a man of larger courage before you got into radio?
19:06.563 --> 19:08.004
[SPEAKER_07]: Rob was not a messy eater.
19:08.044 --> 19:16.209
[SPEAKER_07]: What Rob got into immediately and to this day, thrives on it is freebies, station, freebie.
19:16.589 --> 19:21.252
[SPEAKER_07]: Nobody got more free stuff or hoarded more free stuff than Rob's B-Wack at the radio.
19:21.372 --> 19:25.595
[SPEAKER_08]: But in my defense, when you talk about eating, and I think this is because I always have been fat.
19:26.095 --> 19:28.796
[SPEAKER_08]: I've not been an eater because I didn't want people to see God.
19:28.817 --> 19:29.097
[SPEAKER_08]: I got it.
19:29.197 --> 19:29.917
[SPEAKER_08]: And we've discussed that.
19:29.957 --> 19:30.678
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
19:30.858 --> 19:32.479
[SPEAKER_08]: I eat secretly in the darkness.
19:32.499 --> 19:36.361
[SPEAKER_07]: See, Rob, like at the end of one of the Christmas parties, and he became like pretty stuff in a satchel.
19:36.741 --> 19:38.102
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, just so he could eat it in the car.
19:38.182 --> 19:39.803
[SPEAKER_07]: That was a emergency.
19:40.063 --> 19:41.104
[SPEAKER_08]: Never drove, never drove.
19:41.164 --> 19:43.325
[SPEAKER_08]: I did wake up after one Christmas party.
19:43.365 --> 19:47.428
[SPEAKER_08]: I think I had like three fire extinguishers and two plants in my, my hotel room.
19:47.908 --> 19:50.710
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't know how they could, oh, and big jars of decorative fruit.
19:52.651 --> 19:55.893
[SPEAKER_08]: I said, Bikari, how did you get the, I said, how did we get these up here?
19:55.973 --> 20:01.117
[SPEAKER_07]: She says, in your pants, okay, I have a question for you.
20:01.257 --> 20:04.139
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, in the history of you rating prize clauses.
20:04.199 --> 20:11.624
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, in the, or any prize of any kind that was not going to find its way into the hands of a listener.
20:11.744 --> 20:13.765
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, what is the greatest freebie?
20:14.025 --> 20:15.926
[SPEAKER_07]: I know it without history of freebie.
20:15.966 --> 20:18.088
[SPEAKER_08]: Without even thinking, I know it was and I got it.
20:18.428 --> 20:20.110
[SPEAKER_08]: the week before Julia was born.
20:20.651 --> 20:27.618
[SPEAKER_08]: So it's December of 2000 Tammy was Tammy Sax was running promotions then like the greatest promotions girl.
20:27.778 --> 20:28.659
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, she wasn't.
20:28.819 --> 20:29.560
[SPEAKER_07]: She was the greatest.
20:29.600 --> 20:30.441
[SPEAKER_08]: She was the greatest.
20:30.902 --> 20:33.825
[SPEAKER_08]: And there was something I've been watching in the prize closet and she said I could have it.
20:33.845 --> 20:35.226
[SPEAKER_08]: It was a $2,000 Duquesne gas grill.
20:39.462 --> 20:41.003
[SPEAKER_04]: I think I got an Xbox one.
20:41.043 --> 20:41.883
[SPEAKER_04]: That's pretty good.
20:42.003 --> 20:42.724
[SPEAKER_05]: That's pretty good.
20:42.784 --> 20:43.404
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
20:43.524 --> 20:46.886
[SPEAKER_05]: Thousand dollar gas grow beats an Xbox.
20:46.966 --> 20:49.428
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, it was like stainless steel and all.
20:49.468 --> 20:54.691
[SPEAKER_08]: It was the it was red and ammo, but yeah, but it was the top of the line do can and I used it for a got 10 years.
20:54.871 --> 20:57.912
[SPEAKER_04]: And I think I got that Xbox because they missed the paycheck.
20:58.293 --> 21:00.214
[SPEAKER_04]: They're like, oh, instead of a paycheck.
21:00.254 --> 21:00.454
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
21:01.114 --> 21:03.275
[SPEAKER_07]: Now, listen, these are exceptions to the rule.
21:03.295 --> 21:13.440
[SPEAKER_07]: You have to know your way around a price-lotset because by and large you would have something along the lines of, you know, Debbie Gibson's greatest hits that would sit there gathering dust for 400 years.
21:13.460 --> 21:13.840
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
21:13.880 --> 21:19.683
[SPEAKER_07]: With a whole crunch in the middle corner, yeah, to make sure that it wasn't re-sold or something like that.
21:20.503 --> 21:25.346
[SPEAKER_04]: Also a rumor, and if you have any hubi stand, which you probably don't, but you might have some.
21:25.386 --> 21:25.946
[SPEAKER_04]: I might have some.
21:25.966 --> 21:45.996
[SPEAKER_04]: If you can find some, if you don't mind, there's a rumor that Schminkmo and Schmooks would go, and we don't talk about them much, they would get, they would get artists to come to their show, because it was night, no artist that's in town, everyone's going to a night show, and even he shows a throwaway show, right, right?
21:46.376 --> 21:47.777
[SPEAKER_04]: But we would get them there by,
21:49.598 --> 22:10.323
[SPEAKER_04]: uh... it's essentially telling the record duck as you would say mike that you give them free stuff so since i worked in the promotions department and was on air extended and jobs for the same price free freebie so remember the time when it was take came in before their nine thirty show and they each walked away with an xbox
22:10.803 --> 22:12.684
[SPEAKER_04]: And I was like, here you go, guys.
22:12.744 --> 22:13.025
[SPEAKER_04]: Wow.
22:13.045 --> 22:14.566
[SPEAKER_04]: Thanks for coming by.
22:14.646 --> 22:15.106
[SPEAKER_04]: Pretty good.
22:15.166 --> 22:16.347
[SPEAKER_04]: I think it was worth it.
22:16.427 --> 22:17.388
[SPEAKER_04]: Was it really worth it?
22:17.408 --> 22:20.730
[SPEAKER_04]: It was really worth it because they were the biggest band in the world at the time.
22:20.750 --> 22:20.990
[SPEAKER_04]: OK.
22:21.511 --> 22:23.112
[SPEAKER_04]: And everybody was playing the reason.
22:23.272 --> 22:23.612
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
22:23.972 --> 22:27.375
[SPEAKER_04]: And they were going to the morning show and they were going to the afternoon show.
22:27.415 --> 22:34.140
[SPEAKER_04]: So I called the record doc and I said, hey, there may be two Xboxes that might be ready to go if you guys came on a show.
22:34.610 --> 22:36.150
[SPEAKER_07]: By the way, did you see what he did there?
22:36.250 --> 22:37.631
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, he doesn't even know it.
22:37.791 --> 22:38.211
[SPEAKER_07]: What size?
22:38.251 --> 22:39.411
[SPEAKER_07]: That good abroad caster.
22:39.691 --> 22:42.632
[SPEAKER_07]: He's that decent abroad caster to his listening audience.
22:42.972 --> 22:43.792
[SPEAKER_07]: What he did.
22:43.932 --> 22:46.273
[SPEAKER_07]: And this is where he differs from you or I. Yeah.
22:46.333 --> 22:50.914
[SPEAKER_07]: He actually did this for the good of his listeners, for the good of his right.
22:51.194 --> 22:54.555
[SPEAKER_07]: He wasn't taking a $2,000 gas grill like you did.
22:54.715 --> 22:54.855
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
22:54.875 --> 22:57.156
[SPEAKER_07]: He was doing this for the listeners.
22:57.256 --> 22:58.336
[SPEAKER_07]: That's what for the show.
22:58.456 --> 22:58.956
[SPEAKER_07]: Thank you, Mike.
22:59.016 --> 23:01.817
[SPEAKER_07]: However, the show, my God, unbelievable.
23:01.937 --> 23:05.599
[SPEAKER_08]: I would grill a burger for a listener on that $2,000 guest grill.
23:05.659 --> 23:06.539
[SPEAKER_07]: Bring it in the morning.
23:06.939 --> 23:07.520
[SPEAKER_07]: There you are.
23:08.060 --> 23:09.761
[SPEAKER_07]: Who'd have stank you to do like a hot dog?
23:09.781 --> 23:10.041
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
23:10.221 --> 23:11.041
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't know.
23:11.422 --> 23:13.803
[SPEAKER_07]: Might want to reheat this one in the microwave.
23:13.843 --> 23:14.763
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, that would do.
23:14.823 --> 23:15.544
[SPEAKER_07]: It's tasty.
23:15.964 --> 23:24.648
[SPEAKER_07]: And by the way, I realize that radio stations don't have the corner on the market of nasty refrigerators, but I have to say that at a radio station.
23:25.628 --> 23:30.871
[SPEAKER_07]: There were science projects that were in our refrigerator that I couldn't believe it.
23:31.691 --> 23:36.614
[SPEAKER_07]: I dreaded ever having to put anything or go anywhere near that refrigerator.
23:36.814 --> 23:37.634
[SPEAKER_07]: I have an example.
23:37.694 --> 23:39.715
[SPEAKER_08]: We had a client come on once that was hot for a while.
23:39.735 --> 23:42.396
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't even think they're around anymore called Milwaukee Frozen Custard.
23:42.737 --> 23:49.660
[SPEAKER_08]: And when they did the roll out for the buy, they brought gallons and gallons of ice cream for the staff to enjoy of Milwaukee's best.
23:50.040 --> 23:50.581
[SPEAKER_08]: Maybe you're right.
23:50.621 --> 23:51.501
[SPEAKER_08]: I believe you may be right.
23:51.521 --> 23:58.767
[SPEAKER_08]: I think it was Milwaukee's best custer and so it did with a brought too much So what everyone did is when it was had a location in Manassus robbs.
23:59.047 --> 24:09.555
[SPEAKER_08]: They shoveled all of these courts They have gone there on a regular basis into the WJFK freezer Which was probably by my estimate set at between 32 and 33 degrees so over the next weeks
24:12.907 --> 24:19.332
[SPEAKER_08]: The ice cream would melt and re-freeze and melt and re-freeze and melt and re-freeze and ooze out of the cartons.
24:20.073 --> 24:23.416
[SPEAKER_08]: There was a time when you couldn't open the freezer.
24:23.596 --> 24:29.081
[SPEAKER_08]: It was a top freezer deal and it was stuck because it had been frozen.
24:29.101 --> 24:30.502
[SPEAKER_05]: No, but it didn't go with it.
24:30.722 --> 24:37.328
[SPEAKER_08]: And you had to like almost put a knee and pull to open the freezer, but God forbid anyone would clean it.
24:38.769 --> 24:40.311
[SPEAKER_08]: Just gallons of melted ice cream.
24:40.351 --> 24:42.433
[SPEAKER_07]: Not gonna beat the WAVA refrigerator though.
24:42.833 --> 24:44.715
[SPEAKER_07]: It was a... Oh, I can imagine.
24:44.995 --> 24:48.459
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, well, we actually for many, many months, we had Smokey Rivers head in there.
24:48.599 --> 24:49.600
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, okay, so... Ah!
24:53.704 --> 24:54.185
