Five things you accomplished last week shouldn't be that big of a deal... I took a day that started out off the tracks just a little, and turned it into a pretty awesome day. I'm not sure Brian 10 years ago would have been able to do that.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
As I record this, it's two forty eight in the morning.
I've been up since twelve twenty seven. I just couldn't
go back to sleep, staring at the ceiling for like
an hour. I said, you know what, I'm gonna get
up and go to work. And then yesterday it was
such a good day, I figured I record a podcast
I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Here's the podcast, just a bit up. The contrasts from
what I'm used to. I usually have to talk fast
because there's far people sharing the mic. But this is
just me, so I might say whatever i'd like.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
It might be serious, sometimes it might be funny.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Sometimes to scratch your head and said, Ryan is such
a dummy, Bud.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
It just me.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I ain't got no help. This is Brian Grimes and
I'm talking to myself.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
What up?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
It is? Brian Grime? Sit is my podcast? Sam, I'm
talking to my self. Fuss. I just couldn't sleep last night.
I don't know why. I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Look, I'm great at being tired. I'm even better at
laying there tired thinking about a gazillion different things. Like
my mind is a giant choose your own way book
from back in the day, like I just can't sleep sometimes,
and I just think about this and then this, and
then what if this? What if I do this and
then this, and then I go this direction, then I
go this direction.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Sometimes it's exhausting.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Sometimes it's like sometimes it's like a panic attack, like
it's it's anxiety driven and like it's all super negative.
Sometimes it's not really negative or positive. It's just random
either way.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I I can't sleep.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
So I instead of laying in bed, you know, especially
when I have work that I could be doing, I
decide to get up and I just go to work.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
So that's what I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
But then I had a great day yesterday, so I figured,
you know what, let me let me hit record and
talk about my day yesterday.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Now before we do that. This stuff in the news
that's cracking me up, the dough stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Look, I'm fiercely independent. I've said that a gazillion times.
I think the news itself is you're gonna find what
you want to find, and there's a slant to both
sides of it.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
So it's tough to.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Kind of find that middle ground part and breakthrough as
to what is legit and what isn't legit.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
But I think if you can remove the party part for.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Just a second, and you can remove that I don't
like this person or I don't like that person for
a second, I think we can all agree that the
government's been running pretty heavy for quite some time, I
mean seriously, and then now we're just kind of seeing
where all the money's going, all the waste is going.
And when you look at some of the people I'll
leave names out of it, that you know, have a
(02:34):
two hundred thousand dollars a year salary, which by the way,
is pretty generous, pretty generous when the average person's pulling
them around sixty six thousand dollars a year. You have
a government officials that are making you know, two hundred
thousand dollars a year and their career politicians, so that's
technically all they've been making for all these years. Now.
I'm not saying they can't make some side hustle money,
(02:54):
but you don't make two hundred and twenty thousand dollars
a year and build a two hundred and eighty million
dollar net worth because everything on the up and up.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
That's all I'm saying. And it's not just one person
doing it.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
It's a bunch of people doing it, So I'm just saying,
of course, they're probably freaking out a little when people
start cracking the books and saying, okay, let's get to
the bottom of where some of this money's going and
who's getting what.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
I'm not thinking they're stealing money.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
I'm thinking they're probably patting their pockets by directing money
to people that are then directing money back to them.
But that's a whole other conversation for a whole other
day and probably a whole other platform, because you know,
I tell yuck yuck jokes, so I don't really get
into that. But this email that went out from Elon
Musk telling everybody they needed to reply back with five
(03:42):
things they accomplished this week, it cracks me up that
it's got people freaking out, Like either you're super duper sensitive,
you're super party loyal, you hate Elon Musk, or you've
never worked at an actual private sector job.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
We've been dealing with that our entire lives, right, Like,
what did you do? It's just like office space, the
two bobs?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
What would you say you do around here? Run us
through your average day? Like I don't get the uproar.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I would have literally no problem telling you five things
that I accomplished last week.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I did six radio shows by Tuesday. I do seventeen
radio shows a week, I mean, and that's a minimum.
Sometimes I have more than that, and that's just the
radio on airport.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Like I have other obligations that.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I have to do, you know, production type stuff, meeting
type stuff, hanging out with clients, doing videos for clients,
creating content for clients, conference calls with clients.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Like it's NonStop, So I'd have no problem if.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
And by the way, we do answer to consultants outside,
people that aren't technically our bosses that do come in
and they explain, you know, the thought.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Process behind doing this, So we've dealt with that, so
it's not the well figure, not my boss thing.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I have no problem listing off, Like, like I said,
way more than five things I accomplished last week.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I'm a merit.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Based dude, like I like to me, it's always been
about merit. Like I've always said, rip the name off
the top of the resume, slide it across the table,
no identity, none of that.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Stuff, Just what do you do? What can you do?
And that's all that matters.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
And that's what you should be rewarded on. That's what
you should be retained on. That's what you should be
let go on. Like, I got no problem with that.
I've said that literally since I stepped foot in this building,
because I got no problem working circles around people.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
If you're upset about the concept of having.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
To tell people what it is you accomplished, maybe you're
not accomplishing what you should accomplish. That's all I'm saying.
And again, you cannot like the messenger. You can not
like Nobody likes change. Well, I mean some people like change,
but like, you know, a shake up to the status quo.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
And then I saw people talking about, well, now this
is messed up. You know.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
I got to go to work every day with this
idea of job security hanging over my head.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Yes, welcome to reality.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Twenty five years in radio, not a day did I
walk into this building where I thought for sure that
I'd have a job tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
It's just not how it works.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Job security doesn't exist anymore, not just in radio.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I always thought it was just in radio. It's not.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
It's everywhere, especially as you find ways to become more efficient.
I'll say probably the first year that I worked here
maybe year and a half, and that's because I was
working for almost free, and sometimes for free that I
have like that, Well, they're not going to tell me
to stop coming back. But every year since then, every
(07:00):
day since then, I've I've had the job security thing
hanging over my head, and I've gone through rounds, multiple
rounds of layoffs. In fact, I don't know if everyone
knows this, I actually got cut by one of them
and then saved in the same day by.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Another department in the building.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
So like, I literally have been on the and it
wasn't necessarily a I wasn't working hard enough thing. It's
just kind of the way the world works, you know.
You get people kind of in positions of power that
have their people and have people that aren't there people,
and when the decisions are put in their hands, sometimes
people that.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Don't deserve to go go.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
And I was on that list for about twenty minutes
and then somebody else said, wait a second, hold up,
this is clearly personal. Yeah, he's not going anywhere. Slide
over here. So I've been through that part. Their job
security just isn't a thing, so to think, oh my god, no,
you have to go to work, and I don't know
if I'm gonna have John tomorrow. Yeah, welcome to the
(08:03):
real world. And some of the layoffs, as much as
I hated it around here, necessary because we were running heavy,
Like somebody else came in bought the company and said, hey,
this isn't the best way to do things, and we're
wasting money.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Doing it this way. And while we know it's been
real nice.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
If you've got ten people doing a job that six
people can do for, you gotta go.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
And as much as that sucks, that's kind of.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
The way the world works, especially as we move into
AI and automation and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
That's Look, I'm not saying anyone should lose their job.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
I hate the idea of anyone losing their job, but
there are times when you got to look at things
and go, all right, this isn't the most efficient way
to do things, so we got to do them differently.
Doing them differently means this person doesn't have a position
anymore now. If that person is a hard worker, if
that person is industrious, if that person is mark, that
person has already kind of built themselves the resume.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
The merit to either find another.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Spot here or to take what they've learned and move
on somewhere else, uh, and take advantage of their opportunities there.
So like, it's just the way the world works. So
what always people are freaking out?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Oh my on it just makes me laugh. Look, I'm merit,
base man.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
You should, like I say, rip the identity out of it,
rip the name off of it, Slide it across the table,
either you justified it or or not justified.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
And I think.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Ninety nine point nine nine nine percent of the time
I'm will be justified.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
So that's that's why I'm good with it. Anyway. Now
onto yesterday and why it was a good day. Well, first,
let's let's.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Back up a little bit and why it really started
as a bad day. My vibe was terrible because Okay,
my wife and I were going to go on a Margarita.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Villa at sea Crews.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I do the commercials for Margarita Villa see on Magic
one O seven seven. Which is funny because as even
before I started doing the commercials, we went on one
two years ago with some friends of ours and it
was one of the best times we had. We did
the short like two day in and out cruise and
we had such a good time.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
It was such a blast.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
So, you know, a year and a half later, when
they started talking to us about me doing commercials for them.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
I was like, absolutely, I loved it. It was so
much fun, and my wife loved.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
My wife and I we love the Margaritaville brand, Like
we go to the Margaritaville campground over in Auburndale and
rent cabins and hang out.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
We love going to Margaritaville over at CityWalk.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Passion Fruit Margaritaville tequila is the main ingredient and a
drink my wife created called the Fat Bottom Girl. So
we love Margaritaville, and so we were supposed to go
on to Margaritaville at Sea Cruise, and we were really
excited because I don't really get to take a whole
lot of time off. Even during the holidays when my
main shows were off, I still had to do my
other out of market stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
So while we were.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Gone for a big stretch, every three days, I would
come back in and do a couple of days worth
the work, so it wasn't like I was really off.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
So I was like, this is going to be fun.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I'm actually going to take off everything, and we're going
to go on this cruise is going to be a blast.
So we had a planned We were supposed to set
sail yesterday actually, so right now as I record this,
we should be waking up at the port in Key
West in a few hours, which was going to be
exciting because we haven't been to.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Key West in a while, so we were really excited
about that.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
And then we're going to go to a port called Progresso,
which we've never been to before, and so we were.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Really really excited about it.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
And my wife on Sunday, so we were supposed to
leave for our cruise on Tuesday afternoon. My wife on
Sunday just started feeling really terrible. And I don't want
to put all of her business out there, but she
had to go to the er and you know, she
had some internal issues and they had to do a
cat scan and everything, put her on some medication and
it appears that that's working. If that wasn't going to
(11:51):
solve the problem, then they're gonna have to do a procedure.
But it appears that the medication part's working.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Which is good.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
So I don't know that the procedure part's going to
have to happen, which is nice, but we thought bad
idea to jump on a boat and leave the country
or to even leave the you know, the shore for
five days with my wife just coming out of the
r and still dealing with the.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Issue while the medication starts to work. So we caught up.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
You know, my contact through iHeart to contact MARGARITEA villed See, coolest.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
People in the world, you know. They were like, dude,
first and foremost is your wife? Okay, like they wanted
to make sure she was good.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
And I'm not talking about like, you know, just the
regular like my level employee type people at Margarita villet see,
I'm talking about the super important people hit me up
and asked me, hey, is she good?
Speaker 2 (12:41):
And make first first things first, make sure she's good.
I even offered to leave her.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Home and go on the cruise by myself because I
didn't want to cause any inconvenience to them. They said,
absolutely not, you stay home with your wife. We'll reschedule everything.
Let's just make sure she's good.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
So we did that and now we're setting sail in
a few weeks, which is nice.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
So we haven't rebooked and everything's cool. But my mind
was already getting on a cruise and we were super excited.
It was gonna be fun. We had already planned out, Okay,
we'll go here, we'll go here, we'll go do this,
we'll go do that, and we were ready to go
on Sunday morning. That's how as late as Sunday.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
When we were ready to go, and then it just
kind of hit.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
So then I was in a funk because I was like, okay,
my mind was in vacation mode. I was ready to roll,
and then it kind of just got slapped back into
reality and I'm not going and now I got to
get back.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Into the grind part of everything. So that was weird. Yesterday.
It was a hard day yesterday.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I was like ugh, and I was trying not to
project that on everybody else because it's not everybody else's fault,
you know what I mean, It's just the way that
the world works sometimes. So I didn't want anyone else
to have to deal with, you know, me being in
a funk because of something that has nothing.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
To do with them.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
So it was a tough day yesterday. So anyway, it
flipped though. Right I was feeling better, which is good.
We got our cruise rebooked, which is good. And then
I had a RUM meeting that I had to push
off a week ago, and then I was gonna go
this week, but then I had to reschedule it because
(14:16):
of the cruise we were going to go on.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
But when the cruise got canceled, I.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Hit up my guy, my distributor for my Yoho rum, Kevin,
and I said, hey, I'm back in town. I'm not
going so if you know, if we could set this up,
we can set this up.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
And so we set it up for yesterday.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
So I had the RUM meeting yesterday when I would
have been getting on a cruise. So I was kind
of trying to fight that vibe. But then about two
minutes into my rum meeting, it was like the best
meeting that I've had, like as far as the rum
stuff goes.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Probably ever, it was really cool.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
When I had my meeting with Cabana Bay over at
Universal Orlando, that was cool. That was fun, and I
love anytime I talk with John from Teak, but this
was really cool. So I met with a family that
is gonna start making our Yoha rum for us. I
think all fingers crossed. I think yesterday we kind of
(15:08):
locked it all in and tied it all down, all
though the details that weren't locked in, the hey, this
is a cool vibe was locked in. They're out of Lakeland,
and I'll give you all the details when when it's official.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
It's official, because they have a really.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Cool spot and I want everyone to go check it
out and when they start making their own I definitely
want to do some stuff with them. But had a good,
like hour long meeting, tasted some rum that they make,
and just kind of talked about not necessarily even the
business part of it, just like you know what I
like about it.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Talked about radio a little bit, talked about social media
a little bit, talked.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
About like our family lives a little bit, and it
was just a really good vibe with these people.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
So that was awesome.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
I was like, finally, because truth be told, we were
getting to the point where like inventory was getting kind.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Of low, and I was like, you, Lily, got.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
To get this in gear, like with who's gonna make
it next?
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Because we just hit a.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Bunch of roadblocks and everything and it looks like everything's
going to be super smooth, everything's going to be super cool.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
It was a great meeting.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
At a great spot, and man, it's where I wish
I would have been originally with the whole thing. But
I did learn a lot by the land minds that
I stepped on originally when creating this, and I wish
I could tell you all about that, and someday I will.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I actually posted about it once.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
And I got a ccented assist letter from an attorney,
but well, I just didn't feel like arguing that day.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
But nothing I said was incorrect. It was a cluster.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
But anyway, this is not this is a totally different vibe.
I text my wife right after I said, this meeting
was so awesome. You don't even understand, Like she was
ready to strangle people with the original setup we had.
She said at the time, look, you handle it all,
because if I handled it all, someone's gonna catch a
knife to the thoat. So I've been dealing with all
the business side of the rum since then, and I said,
(16:54):
this is night and day like, you're gonna love this.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
I want you to come to the next meeting. I
want you to meet these people. They're amazing people, so
really cool stuff for the Yoho Rum coming soon, and
I can't wait to tell everybody about it and share it.
So that was great.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
So then I get back into the car and I'm
a passenger now so I can do this. I'm riding
with my distributor, so I pop up.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
With my phone, I check my email.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
And ratings come out in radio every week now, so
every week we kind of know where we are from
a few weeks before, so it takes a few weeks
to process without getting too deep into the weeds. Every
week we find out where we are, but it's about
two weeks behind now. For a long time, we were
(17:42):
not just number one, and we don't like to talk
about that stuff or brag about that stuff. It's kind
of like fight club, but we were so far ahead
of everybody that, like, it was almost an embarrassment of
riches when it came to ratings for us for a
long time, for a very long time.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
And then they thought COVID would knock that out, and
it didn't.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
We got even better ratings during and coming out of COVID,
which was crazy. And then something happened and and we
didn't go like to where. First of all, to me,
i'm very ricky, Bobby. If you ain't first, your last right,
So don't talk to me about you know, oh but
look over here, Oh but look at how great this is.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Don't talk to me about that. If you ain't first,
your last. That's the way I look at it.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
I'm Ricky Bobby all day when it comes to that.
So we had a stretch where we weren't first, so
we were last, at least in my eyes, and now
sometimes we were second.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
We had dropped all the way down.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
I'm not gonna lie to he into like sixth seventh,
and not for stretches of time, but like a week
here and a week there, And.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
To me, that's unacceptable.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
I just told you I'm merit based, right, So like
I'm like, huh huh, don't mean rolling over here with
no participation, trophy. Man, we are getting our teeth kicked in.
Let's do something about it. Let's change some things, you know.
And I felt like going nowhere, like we're just running
in place, And it was so frustrating because I know
what we do, and I know what kind of like
(19:13):
entertainment we can create when we're when we're vibing, and
you know, for whatever reason, you know, the yin and
the yang wasn't going together for a while.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
So I was like I was getting.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Super frustrated and and you know, truth be told, there's
the potential for job loss and money loss when your
ratings isn't where they supposed to be. I mean, I
don't think that's a secret to anybody. And like I said,
I don't think they were ever at the door, you know,
ready to to access or anything. But there ain't that
(19:44):
ain't a secret. Like you know, success equals job security
and in this industry, you know, the ability to continue
to make money. So that's a gut punch and I
hated it. I hated walking down the hall sometimes because
I'm like, there's people, these people rated above me or
not better than me.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
They're just not. But anyway, after a.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Long stretch of like roller coaster wobbling like oh we're
almost there, back down, Oh we're there for a few weeks,
Oh we're back down, the last couple weeks have been
pretty good, and then yesterday we finally, for the first
time in almost three years, actually hit a level that
(20:31):
to me, I feel like, is the is the floor
That's where we should be, right, I mean, the ceiling
is much higher.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
I feel like we should be higher because we have.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Been, but we finally hit the floor yesterday and I
opened that email after having my great rum meeting, and
I say.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
You know what, the day is a good day.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
I even text you guys heard me talk about him,
JJ Rice the Rice man.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
I said, hey, man, I just came out of a
really good rum meeting. That's why I couldn't see my
email for about an hour.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
But I just saw the email with the numbers in it,
and damn fine, today is a good day.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
I said, you know what, I don't think it could
get any better.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
The only way today gets any better is if I
was actually getting on that cruise over in Tampa to
roll out on the Margaritaville see islander.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
And of course JJ wrights hit me back.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
It would be better if you were hanging out with me,
and I hit him back, bitch, don't kill my vibe
because we have a a.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Love hate relationship. Now it's not even really hate, it's
just love. And then I love to bust on people.
So it was a good day yesterday.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
And it started out as as a bad day, like
the universe ain't right, it's a wobble, like it don't
feel good, ugh, And then everything just kind of kept
going into positive direction, positive direction, positive directions. I got
home to my wife, I said, you know what, we
should be on a boat right now. But you're feeling better.
(21:52):
You're gonna get to the point over the next couple
of days where you're back to normal. We're gonna get
on the boat next week. We just had an amazing
rum meeting. Sky's the limit when it comes to that.
I think that's really cool.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
And for the first time in a long time, I
ain't mad about where we are.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
In the hierarchy of Central Florida Radio, which might not
mean anything to a lot of people, but to me,
like I said, ain't first your last merit based type shit, yesterday.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Was a damn good day. Now I'm gonna need 'all
to go ahead and write an email and tell me

because we haven't talked about it in a while at
yoh Rum Notes, at Yoho Spice Drum on social media
Yoho rum dot com. I gotta revamp the website, but
on social media at yo Ho Spice Drum, I would
get on there
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Because we're gonna have some pretty cool stuff coming up
pretty soon
As I record this, it's two forty eight in the morning.
I've been up since twelve twenty seven. I just couldn't
go back to sleep, staring at the ceiling for like
an hour. I said, you know what, I'm gonna get
up and go to work. And then yesterday it was
such a good day, I figured I record a podcast
I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Here's the podcast, just a bit up. The contrasts from
what I'm used to. I usually have to talk fast
because there's far people sharing the mic. But this is
just me, so I might say whatever i'd like.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
It might be serious, sometimes it might be funny.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Sometimes to scratch your head and said, Ryan is such
a dummy, Bud.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
It just me.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I ain't got no help. This is Brian Grimes and
I'm talking to myself.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
What up?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
It is? Brian Grime? Sit is my podcast? Sam, I'm
talking to my self. Fuss. I just couldn't sleep last night.
I don't know why. I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Look, I'm great at being tired. I'm even better at
laying there tired thinking about a gazillion different things. Like
my mind is a giant choose your own way book
from back in the day, like I just can't sleep sometimes,
and I just think about this and then this, and
then what if this? What if I do this and
then this, and then I go this direction, then I
go this direction.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Sometimes it's exhausting.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Sometimes it's like sometimes it's like a panic attack, like
it's it's anxiety driven and like it's all super negative.
Sometimes it's not really negative or positive. It's just random
either way.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I I can't sleep.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
So I instead of laying in bed, you know, especially
when I have work that I could be doing, I
decide to get up and I just go to work.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
So that's what I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
But then I had a great day yesterday, so I figured,
you know what, let me let me hit record and
talk about my day yesterday.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Now before we do that. This stuff in the news
that's cracking me up, the dough stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Look, I'm fiercely independent. I've said that a gazillion times.
I think the news itself is you're gonna find what
you want to find, and there's a slant to both
sides of it.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
So it's tough to.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Kind of find that middle ground part and breakthrough as
to what is legit and what isn't legit.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
But I think if you can remove the party part for.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Just a second, and you can remove that I don't
like this person or I don't like that person for
a second, I think we can all agree that the
government's been running pretty heavy for quite some time, I
mean seriously, and then now we're just kind of seeing
where all the money's going, all the waste is going.
And when you look at some of the people I'll
leave names out of it, that you know, have a
(02:34):
two hundred thousand dollars a year salary, which by the way,
is pretty generous, pretty generous when the average person's pulling
them around sixty six thousand dollars a year. You have
a government officials that are making you know, two hundred
thousand dollars a year and their career politicians, so that's
technically all they've been making for all these years. Now.
I'm not saying they can't make some side hustle money,
(02:54):
but you don't make two hundred and twenty thousand dollars
a year and build a two hundred and eighty million
dollar net worth because everything on the up and up.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
That's all I'm saying. And it's not just one person
doing it.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
It's a bunch of people doing it, So I'm just saying,
of course, they're probably freaking out a little when people
start cracking the books and saying, okay, let's get to
the bottom of where some of this money's going and
who's getting what.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
I'm not thinking they're stealing money.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
I'm thinking they're probably patting their pockets by directing money
to people that are then directing money back to them.
But that's a whole other conversation for a whole other
day and probably a whole other platform, because you know,
I tell yuck yuck jokes, so I don't really get
into that. But this email that went out from Elon
Musk telling everybody they needed to reply back with five
(03:42):
things they accomplished this week, it cracks me up that
it's got people freaking out, Like either you're super duper sensitive,
you're super party loyal, you hate Elon Musk, or you've
never worked at an actual private sector job.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
We've been dealing with that our entire lives, right, Like,
what did you do? It's just like office space, the
two bobs?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
What would you say you do around here? Run us
through your average day? Like I don't get the uproar.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I would have literally no problem telling you five things
that I accomplished last week.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I did six radio shows by Tuesday. I do seventeen
radio shows a week, I mean, and that's a minimum.
Sometimes I have more than that, and that's just the
radio on airport.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Like I have other obligations that.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I have to do, you know, production type stuff, meeting
type stuff, hanging out with clients, doing videos for clients,
creating content for clients, conference calls with clients.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Like it's NonStop, So I'd have no problem if.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
And by the way, we do answer to consultants outside,
people that aren't technically our bosses that do come in
and they explain, you know, the thought.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Process behind doing this, So we've dealt with that, so
it's not the well figure, not my boss thing.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I have no problem listing off, Like, like I said,
way more than five things I accomplished last week.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I'm a merit.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Based dude, like I like to me, it's always been
about merit. Like I've always said, rip the name off
the top of the resume, slide it across the table,
no identity, none of that.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Stuff, Just what do you do? What can you do?
And that's all that matters.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
And that's what you should be rewarded on. That's what
you should be retained on. That's what you should be
let go on. Like, I got no problem with that.
I've said that literally since I stepped foot in this building,
because I got no problem working circles around people.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
If you're upset about the concept of having.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
To tell people what it is you accomplished, maybe you're
not accomplishing what you should accomplish. That's all I'm saying.
And again, you cannot like the messenger. You can not
like Nobody likes change. Well, I mean some people like change,
but like, you know, a shake up to the status quo.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
And then I saw people talking about, well, now this
is messed up. You know.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
I got to go to work every day with this
idea of job security hanging over my head.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Yes, welcome to reality.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Twenty five years in radio, not a day did I
walk into this building where I thought for sure that
I'd have a job tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
It's just not how it works.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Job security doesn't exist anymore, not just in radio.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I always thought it was just in radio. It's not.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
It's everywhere, especially as you find ways to become more efficient.
I'll say probably the first year that I worked here
maybe year and a half, and that's because I was
working for almost free, and sometimes for free that I
have like that, Well, they're not going to tell me
to stop coming back. But every year since then, every
(07:00):
day since then, I've I've had the job security thing
hanging over my head, and I've gone through rounds, multiple
rounds of layoffs. In fact, I don't know if everyone
knows this, I actually got cut by one of them
and then saved in the same day by.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Another department in the building.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
So like, I literally have been on the and it
wasn't necessarily a I wasn't working hard enough thing. It's
just kind of the way the world works, you know.
You get people kind of in positions of power that
have their people and have people that aren't there people,
and when the decisions are put in their hands, sometimes
people that.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Don't deserve to go go.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
And I was on that list for about twenty minutes
and then somebody else said, wait a second, hold up,
this is clearly personal. Yeah, he's not going anywhere. Slide
over here. So I've been through that part. Their job
security just isn't a thing, so to think, oh my god, no,
you have to go to work, and I don't know
if I'm gonna have John tomorrow. Yeah, welcome to the
(08:03):
real world. And some of the layoffs, as much as
I hated it around here, necessary because we were running heavy,
Like somebody else came in bought the company and said, hey,
this isn't the best way to do things, and we're
wasting money.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Doing it this way. And while we know it's been
real nice.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
If you've got ten people doing a job that six
people can do for, you gotta go.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
And as much as that sucks, that's kind of.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
The way the world works, especially as we move into
AI and automation and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
That's Look, I'm not saying anyone should lose their job.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
I hate the idea of anyone losing their job, but
there are times when you got to look at things
and go, all right, this isn't the most efficient way
to do things, so we got to do them differently.
Doing them differently means this person doesn't have a position
anymore now. If that person is a hard worker, if
that person is industrious, if that person is mark, that
person has already kind of built themselves the resume.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
The merit to either find another.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Spot here or to take what they've learned and move
on somewhere else, uh, and take advantage of their opportunities there.
So like, it's just the way the world works. So
what always people are freaking out?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Oh my on it just makes me laugh. Look, I'm merit,
base man.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
You should, like I say, rip the identity out of it,
rip the name off of it, Slide it across the table,
either you justified it or or not justified.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
And I think.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Ninety nine point nine nine nine percent of the time
I'm will be justified.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
So that's that's why I'm good with it. Anyway. Now
onto yesterday and why it was a good day. Well, first,
let's let's.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Back up a little bit and why it really started
as a bad day. My vibe was terrible because Okay,
my wife and I were going to go on a Margarita.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Villa at sea Crews.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I do the commercials for Margarita Villa see on Magic
one O seven seven. Which is funny because as even
before I started doing the commercials, we went on one
two years ago with some friends of ours and it
was one of the best times we had. We did
the short like two day in and out cruise and
we had such a good time.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
It was such a blast.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
So, you know, a year and a half later, when
they started talking to us about me doing commercials for them.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
I was like, absolutely, I loved it. It was so
much fun, and my wife loved.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
My wife and I we love the Margaritaville brand, Like
we go to the Margaritaville campground over in Auburndale and
rent cabins and hang out.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
We love going to Margaritaville over at CityWalk.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Passion Fruit Margaritaville tequila is the main ingredient and a
drink my wife created called the Fat Bottom Girl. So
we love Margaritaville, and so we were supposed to go
on to Margaritaville at Sea Cruise, and we were really
excited because I don't really get to take a whole
lot of time off. Even during the holidays when my
main shows were off, I still had to do my
other out of market stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
So while we were.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Gone for a big stretch, every three days, I would
come back in and do a couple of days worth
the work, so it wasn't like I was really off.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
So I was like, this is going to be fun.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I'm actually going to take off everything, and we're going
to go on this cruise is going to be a blast.
So we had a planned We were supposed to set
sail yesterday actually, so right now as I record this,
we should be waking up at the port in Key
West in a few hours, which was going to be
exciting because we haven't been to.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Key West in a while, so we were really excited
about that.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
And then we're going to go to a port called Progresso,
which we've never been to before, and so we were.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Really really excited about it.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
And my wife on Sunday, so we were supposed to
leave for our cruise on Tuesday afternoon. My wife on
Sunday just started feeling really terrible. And I don't want
to put all of her business out there, but she
had to go to the er and you know, she
had some internal issues and they had to do a
cat scan and everything, put her on some medication and
it appears that that's working. If that wasn't going to
(11:51):
solve the problem, then they're gonna have to do a procedure.
But it appears that the medication part's working.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Which is good.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
So I don't know that the procedure part's going to
have to happen, which is nice, but we thought bad
idea to jump on a boat and leave the country
or to even leave the you know, the shore for
five days with my wife just coming out of the
r and still dealing with the.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Issue while the medication starts to work. So we caught up.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
You know, my contact through iHeart to contact MARGARITEA villed See, coolest.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
People in the world, you know. They were like, dude,
first and foremost is your wife? Okay, like they wanted
to make sure she was good.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
And I'm not talking about like, you know, just the
regular like my level employee type people at Margarita villet see,
I'm talking about the super important people hit me up
and asked me, hey, is she good?
Speaker 2 (12:41):
And make first first things first, make sure she's good.
I even offered to leave her.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Home and go on the cruise by myself because I
didn't want to cause any inconvenience to them. They said,
absolutely not, you stay home with your wife. We'll reschedule everything.
Let's just make sure she's good.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
So we did that and now we're setting sail in
a few weeks, which is nice.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
So we haven't rebooked and everything's cool. But my mind
was already getting on a cruise and we were super excited.
It was gonna be fun. We had already planned out, Okay,
we'll go here, we'll go here, we'll go do this,
we'll go do that, and we were ready to go
on Sunday morning. That's how as late as Sunday.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
When we were ready to go, and then it just
kind of hit.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
So then I was in a funk because I was like, okay,
my mind was in vacation mode. I was ready to roll,
and then it kind of just got slapped back into
reality and I'm not going and now I got to
get back.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Into the grind part of everything. So that was weird. Yesterday.
It was a hard day yesterday.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I was like ugh, and I was trying not to
project that on everybody else because it's not everybody else's fault,
you know what I mean, It's just the way that
the world works sometimes. So I didn't want anyone else
to have to deal with, you know, me being in
a funk because of something that has nothing.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
To do with them.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
So it was a tough day yesterday. So anyway, it
flipped though. Right I was feeling better, which is good.
We got our cruise rebooked, which is good. And then
I had a RUM meeting that I had to push
off a week ago, and then I was gonna go
this week, but then I had to reschedule it because
(14:16):
of the cruise we were going to go on.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
But when the cruise got canceled, I.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Hit up my guy, my distributor for my Yoho rum, Kevin,
and I said, hey, I'm back in town. I'm not
going so if you know, if we could set this up,
we can set this up.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
And so we set it up for yesterday.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
So I had the RUM meeting yesterday when I would
have been getting on a cruise. So I was kind
of trying to fight that vibe. But then about two
minutes into my rum meeting, it was like the best
meeting that I've had, like as far as the rum
stuff goes.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Probably ever, it was really cool.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
When I had my meeting with Cabana Bay over at
Universal Orlando, that was cool. That was fun, and I
love anytime I talk with John from Teak, but this
was really cool. So I met with a family that
is gonna start making our Yoha rum for us. I
think all fingers crossed. I think yesterday we kind of
(15:08):
locked it all in and tied it all down, all
though the details that weren't locked in, the hey, this
is a cool vibe was locked in. They're out of Lakeland,
and I'll give you all the details when when it's official.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
It's official, because they have a really.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Cool spot and I want everyone to go check it
out and when they start making their own I definitely
want to do some stuff with them. But had a good,
like hour long meeting, tasted some rum that they make,
and just kind of talked about not necessarily even the
business part of it, just like you know what I
like about it.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Talked about radio a little bit, talked about social media
a little bit, talked.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
About like our family lives a little bit, and it
was just a really good vibe with these people.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
So that was awesome.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
I was like, finally, because truth be told, we were
getting to the point where like inventory was getting kind.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Of low, and I was like, you, Lily, got.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
To get this in gear, like with who's gonna make
it next?
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Because we just hit a.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Bunch of roadblocks and everything and it looks like everything's
going to be super smooth, everything's going to be super cool.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
It was a great meeting.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
At a great spot, and man, it's where I wish
I would have been originally with the whole thing. But
I did learn a lot by the land minds that
I stepped on originally when creating this, and I wish
I could tell you all about that, and someday I will.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I actually posted about it once.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
And I got a ccented assist letter from an attorney,
but well, I just didn't feel like arguing that day.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
But nothing I said was incorrect. It was a cluster.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
But anyway, this is not this is a totally different vibe.
I text my wife right after I said, this meeting
was so awesome. You don't even understand, Like she was
ready to strangle people with the original setup we had.
She said at the time, look, you handle it all,
because if I handled it all, someone's gonna catch a
knife to the thoat. So I've been dealing with all
the business side of the rum since then, and I said,
(16:54):
this is night and day like, you're gonna love this.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
I want you to come to the next meeting. I
want you to meet these people. They're amazing people, so
really cool stuff for the Yoho Rum coming soon, and
I can't wait to tell everybody about it and share it.
So that was great.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
So then I get back into the car and I'm
a passenger now so I can do this. I'm riding
with my distributor, so I pop up.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
With my phone, I check my email.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
And ratings come out in radio every week now, so
every week we kind of know where we are from
a few weeks before, so it takes a few weeks
to process without getting too deep into the weeds. Every
week we find out where we are, but it's about
two weeks behind now. For a long time, we were
(17:42):
not just number one, and we don't like to talk
about that stuff or brag about that stuff. It's kind
of like fight club, but we were so far ahead
of everybody that, like, it was almost an embarrassment of
riches when it came to ratings for us for a
long time, for a very long time.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
And then they thought COVID would knock that out, and
it didn't.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
We got even better ratings during and coming out of COVID,
which was crazy. And then something happened and and we
didn't go like to where. First of all, to me,
i'm very ricky, Bobby. If you ain't first, your last right,
So don't talk to me about you know, oh but
look over here, Oh but look at how great this is.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Don't talk to me about that. If you ain't first,
your last. That's the way I look at it.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
I'm Ricky Bobby all day when it comes to that.
So we had a stretch where we weren't first, so
we were last, at least in my eyes, and now
sometimes we were second.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
We had dropped all the way down.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
I'm not gonna lie to he into like sixth seventh,
and not for stretches of time, but like a week
here and a week there, And.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
To me, that's unacceptable.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
I just told you I'm merit based, right, So like
I'm like, huh huh, don't mean rolling over here with
no participation, trophy. Man, we are getting our teeth kicked in.
Let's do something about it. Let's change some things, you know.
And I felt like going nowhere, like we're just running
in place, And it was so frustrating because I know
what we do, and I know what kind of like
(19:13):
entertainment we can create when we're when we're vibing, and
you know, for whatever reason, you know, the yin and
the yang wasn't going together for a while.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
So I was like I was getting.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Super frustrated and and you know, truth be told, there's
the potential for job loss and money loss when your
ratings isn't where they supposed to be. I mean, I
don't think that's a secret to anybody. And like I said,
I don't think they were ever at the door, you know,
ready to to access or anything. But there ain't that
(19:44):
ain't a secret. Like you know, success equals job security
and in this industry, you know, the ability to continue
to make money. So that's a gut punch and I
hated it. I hated walking down the hall sometimes because
I'm like, there's people, these people rated above me or
not better than me.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
They're just not. But anyway, after a.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Long stretch of like roller coaster wobbling like oh we're
almost there, back down, Oh we're there for a few weeks,
Oh we're back down, the last couple weeks have been
pretty good, and then yesterday we finally, for the first
time in almost three years, actually hit a level that
(20:31):
to me, I feel like, is the is the floor
That's where we should be, right, I mean, the ceiling
is much higher.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
I feel like we should be higher because we have.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Been, but we finally hit the floor yesterday and I
opened that email after having my great rum meeting, and
I say.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
You know what, the day is a good day.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
I even text you guys heard me talk about him,
JJ Rice the Rice man.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
I said, hey, man, I just came out of a
really good rum meeting. That's why I couldn't see my
email for about an hour.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
But I just saw the email with the numbers in it,
and damn fine, today is a good day.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
I said, you know what, I don't think it could
get any better.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
The only way today gets any better is if I
was actually getting on that cruise over in Tampa to
roll out on the Margaritaville see islander.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
And of course JJ wrights hit me back.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
It would be better if you were hanging out with me,
and I hit him back, bitch, don't kill my vibe
because we have a a.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Love hate relationship. Now it's not even really hate, it's
just love. And then I love to bust on people.
So it was a good day yesterday.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
And it started out as as a bad day, like
the universe ain't right, it's a wobble, like it don't
feel good, ugh, And then everything just kind of kept
going into positive direction, positive direction, positive directions. I got
home to my wife, I said, you know what, we
should be on a boat right now. But you're feeling better.
(21:52):
You're gonna get to the point over the next couple
of days where you're back to normal. We're gonna get
on the boat next week. We just had an amazing
rum meeting. Sky's the limit when it comes to that.
I think that's really cool.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
And for the first time in a long time, I
ain't mad about where we are.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
In the hierarchy of Central Florida Radio, which might not
mean anything to a lot of people, but to me,
like I said, ain't first your last merit based type shit, yesterday.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Was a damn good day. Now I'm gonna need 'all
to go ahead and write an email and tell me
five things you accomplished last week, and go ahead and
hit me up on Instagram, Facebook, X at D Brian Grimes.
