Yes, I was about to point that out as awesome.
So you know I get these headlines. We both get.
He gets sports. I get like just in general, I
thought this headline was pretty awesome. Memphis anti violence meeting
ended with one dead and five injured, so turned into
(01:14):
a big shootout at the anti violence meeting in Memphis,
Memphis is lost. By the way, when my daughter went
to Old miss there was quite a few parents that
were from Memphis, and because it's only an hour away
to Oxford, Mississippi, where University Mississippi is, and these everyone's
(01:35):
parents said, there's two neighborhoods in Memphis you can still
go in the rest of them.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Do not drive in there. Do not go in there.
You will be somebody's dinner that night probably.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
So speaking of.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Dinner, I've got a buddy who told me the most
unfortunate thing about Memphis is all of the good food
is in bad parts of town.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah, it's just like Graceland.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
If you want to go see Graceland, you know, don't
leave anything in your car, you know, because when you
get back you probably won't have a car. But it's
really really sad that many of these cities have become
what they have. Then the other thing, Okay, so I'm
gonna I'm absolutely gonna just this bothers me and Big Cat.
(02:16):
I haven't even mentioned this to you, but I know
this bothers you too. So when I see these uh
companies a Zipic and we go V you know, or
we go V or how it pronounce it. They have
classic rock commercial songs betted under them now oh yes, yes, yeah,
I'm a classic rock DJ. That's where I started. And
when I hear you know, free with all right now
(02:39):
and there's some fact girls talking about how much weight
she lost, I'm going they did not plan on their
music ending up. But I don't know how they do that.
I don't know who they pay or who.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I guess you could. I don't know how you do it.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
But it's wrong, man, yeah, wrong, if they If they
there's very little chance that they still owned their catalogs.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
I'm sure, you know, buying it from Warner Brothers.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Or whoever the you know, whoever the overarching record company is.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
But every now and then.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
You'll see, you know, like when when an artist, when
they're private estate, still all music.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Usually the only time you get the you know, the
cease and desist or quit using you know, quit using
our music. But if it's one of the record companies
that owns it, they'll license it to anybody and everybody.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
And you know, we have several thousand listeners and I'm
sure a few of you are going, well you whrror.
I remember when you did a remote and a meat market,
So quit talking about somebody else cashing out. I've done
more live ads than anybody in the world, so I'm
not above it. I'm just saying there's some things that
should be sacred in classic rock, or at least the
guys is saying it all to get a little slices
(03:52):
what I'm saying there. Wait, Watchers went bankrupt. Do you
see that nineteen sixty three they started. I didn't know
they started that early.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
I can I can believe they went bankrupt. You mentioned ozimpic.
Everyone can just get a shot now and don't have
to do any of the work to lose.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
By those by those meals, I don't I can't remember
if I've ever eaten any of them, but I'm I'm
sure they're fine. But anyway, they rolled over and and
they're not in business. Maybe there'll be something else or
some other company will buy them, but they've been around. Said,
I just didn't know sixty three was there when they started.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
That shocked me.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Yeah, that feels that feels like way earlier than I
I that in my head, I was thinking that's an
eighties thing. Yeah, Yeah, superficial nature of the of the
decade of the eighties. Surely that's where weight watchers originated.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Who was the.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Who was the big celebrity spokesperson for them? Wasn't it?
Was it Kirsty Ally? Was she away?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I think she was one. Yeah, where she lost quite
a bit. Now she had bloomed up there pretty big,
you know, I.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Was her like I.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
You talk about being a whore for any company, there
are still a few like I don't think ever in
my career I'm gonna do like ed pills ever, And
I think.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Trying to think I might have. Yeah, I think I
did once.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
You know, Mondy's probably pretty good.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
And I know I did.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
I did because I remember now I would start to
commercial with I don't need this.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
But.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
In case any of you boys out there could use it,
I know a great company that will be.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
When I first came over to Cavet, they Sam and
Bob ron in the mornings, and then they wanted to
do a midday morning show, so I came in at
ten am and had a partner till three pm. So
I had I did that for three or four years,
and I had two female partners, Meg Evans and Kimberly Hurler,
(05:53):
both of them great, great girls, and I just I
love them both.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
But you Sam and Bob on the Morning Show and.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Cavet they had a rule where you they only could
do five ads and so they both did you know,
covert near different ones they had all those years.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
And of course Bob was uh was uh uh he was.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Mcmoor's Ford and then he went on to do uh
Maxwell for you know, he's still doing them actually uh uh.
And Sammy r I p brother brother Sam. But anyway,
uh However, if you couldn't get on Sam and Bob,
you could got you could be on Cavett from ten
to three. We had no limit, and for about a
(06:31):
year I had twenty three live ads in a five
hour show. I was basically a radio thrifty Nickel. I mean,
I'm just like printing money out there. I made more
money and live ad money than I made in salary.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
And that's no kidding. I'm not I'm not lying.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
That I had a five hour infomercial.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yeah, that's all. It was Puma.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
You're going to you're going to challenge this, but I
swear it's true. I had two competing fence companies. I
did one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
And they were both fencing companies.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Look, I've always I have always thought the you know,
there's a reason CBS builds next to Walgreens.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Every Yeah, everywhere.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Competition is good.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
It doesn't matter if you're a fencing company and you
hear someone else, you know, spending their money on radio,
that tells you it's probably a good investment.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Right in the middle of it, Well, that was you know,
the home depot Lows deal. The guy from Low's was
the partner with the home depot guy, and then the
home depot guy they split up, and so anywhere he
builds a home depot, he builds a Lows right next
to it. By the way, the home depot guy is
a guy that outed Bernie mattof He he was, you know,
he had all these clients and he went to the
guy that owned home depot right and that guy said,
(07:46):
I can't remember guy's name, but he said, he goes,
you know what this you don't this is the math
doesn't work here. This guy's super intelligent, of course, and
he said the math doesn't work here, and he said
you need to we need to look into this. And
they started looking into it, and then sure enough burn
him Mattoff didn't have the money. He was just kitting
the money from one to the next, back and forth.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
You know, Right, there's that delicate balance of you need
you need someone that thinks they're smart enough to invest
with you, but someone who's not too smart to realize
you're just robbing them.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Yeah, and I think I think I was a little
too smart to be conn.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
He just he continues, the home depot guy. And they
don't get me wrong, I'm no fan of his because
if there's a cheaper made product out there, he'll put
it on his shelf. I buy stuff from them, and
it's just some of it's just junk. And you know
it's just junk, and you go, man, come on, just
spend a little more money. But I think the tariffs
might take care of some of.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
That anyway, all right. I don't want to get off
on that.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
