seven dollars again? What am I going to do with that?
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Say no, you can't just not pay the tax. Why
don't you get like fine or something. If you don't
pay the tax on a prize or.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Some taxes are they should be illegal. I don't. I don't.
Let's pay it.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
I don't care the it's three format center shifts, it's fine.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
I'm sorry what I said.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
It's three format center shifts, it's fine.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I don't even know what that is.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
That's the other stations that I oh Jesus Christ, oh
dear God.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
But all you talk about is, oh, I need those,
I need those, I need those.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
I don't say I need those shifts, Yeah I don't.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
I guess I like doing them.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
But going back to what happened in the email yesterday,
it is not normal.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
That's why I thought you were going to have never
heard of that well when I want to.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I don't know if you know I want a TV
at the holiday party in twenty nineteen. Okay, but it's
different now I'm going to tell you why.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
But i'll tell you why.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
It isn't because I go ahead. I was tax but
the company paid it. But he paid your taxes on
that TV. Now my tax is the tax on that
TV that I want. It was a fifty five in TV, right,
they paid the tax on it, So.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Why don't they pay the tax on your metallic attack?
I don't know. Do you think they should? I don't.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
I don't think there's a shoul or shouldn't. It's if
that's what it is and I have to pay it,
then I'll pay it. If if they say, hey, we'll
pay it, then cool.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Pay.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Oh they're not going to pay it. They're not gonna.
I wouldn't pay it for you.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
I didn't know there would be a tax. I'm not
angry that there's a tax.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
I'd be furious. I'm not furious. I'd be furious. I'll
tell you. Let me explain.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Because Josh keeps cutting me off. Yes, one of the
no no, no, no, Well listen, one of the benefits.
One of the benefits of this job is like every
job has their perks. Right, If you work at a restaurant,
you get family meal, so you get a meal for free. Right,
But I mean we get that too in a restaurant.
Neither here nor there. But one of the perks is
(02:51):
I can't tell you. I'll speak for myself. I can't
tell you the last time I paid for concert tickets.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
And I know that sounds bad, and that.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Sounds braggy or whatever, but it's one of the perks
that comes with the job. It's like, if I'm a
police officer, I expect I'm not going to get a
speeding ticket. So one of the perks that comes with
being a disc jockey is maybe not for everything, but
you get concert tickets for a lot of for a
lot of shows. Right, I've never once had to pay taxes.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
I'm getting that. This is the first time I've ever
seen this, right, So if.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
That so, so, I guess Josh and Crash I'm not done.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
When they got their tickets? Was it just then? By
the way, he only listed three of them.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Now I heard there were thirty peoplesh and Curtis for
the other ones, right, because we sat together.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
That's the only reason. I right, I heard there were
thirty people.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I thought when I saw when I when I saw
that this had taken place, I was like, this is
a bit yeah the uh no, I really thought it was.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I thought it was like one prank. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
And so anyway, so so Josh gets an email that
says that he owes what is it, one hundred dollars
or something?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Ninety seven? What are you doing? I'm gonna pull up
email if you wanted me to read it. Yeah, well,
I'll read it.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Okay, you don't read well the no, but it says
that you owe like ninety seven dollars taxes on the ticket.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Was it treated like Josh and Crash and Curtis would
have already known about this?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I don't well.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
The reason I was going to read the emails because
it was explained that they were trade tickets, not comp
tickets from the label or something like that, which is
what we normally get.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
These are trade tickets.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
And because they're trade and they're used for our personal use,
that's why we got tax versus I guess versus a
client or something.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Okay, well, then don't give me trade tickets. Give me
give me regular.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Why I do you know they were trade tickets until yesterday?
Would you have gone if you knew you had to
pay ninety seven dollars? No, it's to see Metallica for free. No,
I don't mind.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
It's ninety seven dollars plus the sixty dollars I paid
in parting to again exactly.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
So you're free metallic I cost you one hundred and fifty.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
This is still less, which is still less than the
pair of tickets would have cost in the lower level. Right,
but you could buy a pair of tickets. No, but
I paid tax and I paid for parking.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Where's the email?
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Oh here, Sorry, that's why I don't read, will it?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Says hi?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Y'all?
Speaker 4 (05:12):
I hope you enjoyed the Metallica concert recently. I hope
that you were informed at the time you received the
tickets that any trade use for personal use is taxable.
But you weren't informed in it was not. The tickets
were one hundred and ninety four dollars. The tickets were
one hundred and ninety four dollars each, for a total
of three hundred and sixty eight dollars. There'll be a
percentage of that which is approximately ninety seven dollars. I'll
(05:34):
be recording the tax entry on an upcoming June paid check. Thanks,
and let me know if you have any questions.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Alice, So you're being taxed for two tickets.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Well that's weird, given whether they were used or not.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Wait, but I thought you only got one ticket.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
I got a pair of tickets in my hand, so
it didn't matter.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
So you're paying taxes on a ticket that nobody even used.
It's a total of ninety seven dollars.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Like, it's why you, of all people, is treating nine Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
No, you're treating ninety seven dollars like it's nothing. It's
not that, it's nothing, it's it's text. Okay, cool, I'm
not what am I gonna do. I'm not gonna fight it.
I'm not gonna write him back and go. Colin didn't
inform me, I did, I told her, Alice.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
I said Colin didn't informed.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
She said, and she said, and she said, she said,
I said I was not. So you wrote back and
said I was not informed.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Did not informed this. I didn't know it was on trade.
She said, I'm sorry about that. When the trade portals
use tickets are and they are requested, it's evident as
the request has made, the item will be taxable. Unfortunately,
oftentimes tickets are distributed outside of the trade portal, so
it's not made clear to the employee.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Right, Okay, so she's she's got Collins back? Did you
say that? Did you write Colin back and go? You
were supposed to tell me?
Speaker 3 (06:43):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Why don't you write what? So you're mad at Curtis?
What's that? Did he tell Crasher Curtis? Did they know about?
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I have no idea.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
I think Crash that he didn't I didn't talk to Curtis.
I don't know, but I think Crash that he didn't know.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
He didn't know, so he got screwed.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Also text yes, Right, So when the emails, because occasionally
go around, and this one was a market wide email.
When the emails are sent and they are offering up
tickets to a show, now, who are you emailing nothing?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I was just looking to have it open moving forward?
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Are they going to have to distinguish between what is
trade and what is not? Or were some of those
other tickets.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
You asked for? Any more tickets moving forward? That's a
pregnant pause.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
No, I mean I'm always I mean, I'm always asking
just for a lot of tickets.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Well, it's a perk of working here, like you just mentioned,
So you asked for tickets for everything. You don't I
don't know. I'm sorry, I can't.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
It was it was you asked for more tickets than
anybody in this building.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
But the last you asked Aaron for super Bowl tickets.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
First of all, that was a bit absolutely.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Well, you don't know. If you don't know, you don't,
But I also know I'm not getting them. You asked
for more tickets than anybody in the building, Okay, true
or false? Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
I haven't surveyed everyone, but this look I'm gon shows
I'm gonna ask. I asked us about Wu tang to
help me out, I said, okay, I'll buy a ticket right.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
No, but I am glad you stopped with that portal
thing though I told you to stop.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
No, I have to go through uh now, you have
to go through proper channels for it.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Who do you have to go through? Dustin and Bianca? Oh? Okay?
Do they always say yes?
Speaker 5 (08:29):
No?
Speaker 4 (08:29):
And I'm fully aware of that. I've made notes many times.
Oh note, I know I will not get approof for
somewhere all.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
It's like the most recent one that went out was
for the Halsey show.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Right, did you ask for tickets for that?
Speaker 4 (08:39):
It was the same night as Dave Matthews.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Which you also asked for tickets for.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Yes, a friend of mine works for the label, so
she always gives me a ticket.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Thank you bitch.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
But for those that took it was a nice offer
from Casey, Right, were those taxed?
Speaker 4 (08:58):
I think when they're sent that way, they're not like
when Bianca or Casey or someone from promotion sends an email.
I think they were left over from Winters, not gem
or something, or we just have extra in general rights.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Colin does it well? I think the salespeople have to
use the trade portal. Well, why do they have to?
Why wouldn't they be made available to the same tickets
you get for I was offered tickets for the what
is it, the Let's Go festival? You are offered?
Speaker 4 (09:21):
You asked, No, I was offered because I'm not the
only one that got the email from uh Jamie and
Baltimore And he said, if you want them, here's the link.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Blah blah blah blah. I told you not to use
that portal, trade.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Portal, not the other portal. I'm not the only one
that got the email. I don't know who else got it,
but I know I'm not the only I didn't get it.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Okay, I don't think I've ever been told about the
iHeart trade portal.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I didn't know that the goddamn No, I didn't know
there was a trade portal. No, whatever that portal was,
were you were, it's a different one. You were like,
I'm u, I manage a lot of bands. I need
to be here or whatever that portal was.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
I like to take pictures of bands, and I bought
a camera and invested.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
If you want to call it that, sure, sure, So
I'm going back here in time. And Colin has over
the last years sent a lot of ticket emails. What
was the last one it was? It was the wolf
Trap off the phone? It was a wolf Trap show?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Right?
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Have you ever taken advantage of the wolf Trap tickets?
I didn't know Colin does, but then not an email.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
But he did right before the holidays, he did Iron Maiden.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Did you go to that? Really shocking? But what we're
all of these all I'm asking is.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I don't know, the only person I know that's been
taxed is Josh and Curtis. Okay, well, I only know
that you got it. I heard there were thirty people and.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
You were one of them. Interesting.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Oh and then here is Caruso replying all to a
ticket offer and Colin denying it because Caruso replied all,
even though Colin did not send to the inosial offer.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
All right, very good, but you should keep up with
that moving forward.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Well, I'll ask where they're from. I mean, if dust
I guess your tickets they're usually I would ask.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I would ask. I've never been taxed for any ticket other.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Than exactly That's what I'm saying. You got to ask now,
though you have to ask as many as many shows
as you asked for tickets for. Even if you have
to pay tax, that's going to be a lot of money.
That's going to be a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
All right, Okay, And I'll tell Colin you're mad at him.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
I'm not mad at Colin's on the record because.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
No, because he didn't tell you any time when you
told Alice, he never told me.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
That doesn't mean a'm man. I just said, Collins when
I got me the tickets spre that's.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Kind of throwing him under the bus. I kind of
dicked you over.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
I'm not mad at him. I would I mean, I'll
have the conversation. Hey man, do you wish?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
How do you think?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Do you think Colin should give you the ninety seven
dollars since he didn't tell you no?
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Do you think the company should pay it? I mean sure,
but only because they paid the tax on my TV
that time. The only read because if they never did,
I wouldn't know that they did it, you know what
I mean? How I don't know that they paid the tax.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Did they pay the tax on the TV because you
asked them to or not? Everyone?
Speaker 4 (12:09):
There was an item one in my past and I
didn't know what it was. And I asked Alice and
she said, oh, the company paid the tax on that
prize from the holiday that's very nice. Yeah, I had
no idea. I didn't think I would get taxed at
a holiday party prize. Of course, you get taxed on
all that created at tax on the money this year
that we that I want and other people won. I
didn't win any money. You were, well, you weren't there.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
You can't win, it's nothing. How much did you win
this thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Jesus Christ quit belly a can it paid the stupid
Metallica thing or it.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Was or by a goddamn I just said I was
gonna pay. You've gotten TVs.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
You want a thousand dollars and you get And you
asked for tickets for every show that three.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Things you named in ten years. That's an average of
once everything.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Don't act like you only got tickets one time and
take tickets every.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
Show that conservatively, how many free shows do you go
to a year?
Speaker 2 (13:00):
That's a good question. Less probably less than ten. Oh josh,
you are less than once a month.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Yeah, I haven't gone to a show literally, I think
since free Right that was a week ago, right Roy
Metallica was last week as well.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
And those are the only two shows this year so far.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
I don't think I've gone to any other show that
I haven't, like, bought.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
A ticket for. Have you asked for any other shows?
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Just wu Tang for tonight, But I'm not going, I
mean I probably buy it. I'm I'm not going on
a free ticket. Oh okay, I'll just buy a ticket.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
You go, So you you you would go to less
than ten shows a year, for free.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
Probably average, all right, average, just something. Obviously, sometimes I'll
go more, sometimes it less, but like.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Sometimes one hundred and sometimes ninety nine.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
There's only ninety days in the summer and then ninety
days of all the other ones.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Now I don't go that much. I used to go
a lot. Yeah, no, no, not as much as I
used to. All right, very good, because apparently I asked
for tickets, which I'm not supposed to do, even though
it's a perk of working.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Here, I know, but which you're just have to be careful.
You have to be careful.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
I told you about that portal though I didn't want
you doing. I'm not using it right and I but
I explained to you want I got it all.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
We're good. That's why you're a great producer. Thanks, very good,
very good. Down the hall up next, bring in Bianca. Oh,
that's a good idea. That's a good idea. Is she here?
(14:29):
I can't call her though I don't know her number.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Would Bianca confirm that Josh hasn't gone to more than
ten shows a year?
Speaker 2 (14:39):
It hasn't said.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Yes, no, no, no, you want you wanted to answer
the other way.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
No, that it's more than don't get no, Diane.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
He started it. He started off totally kidding. Yeah, no,
don't do that. I'm sorry, I understood, don't do that.
Don't do that. That's rude.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
Well, now she's going to get her then I was
just trying to help up r also never helps Kristin.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
All right, let me do that, give me a she.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
So, so we are moving past us. We are taking
Josh at his word for what for ten shows or
less a year?
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Yeah? But would Bianca even know that? It was just
because he used her name? Is Dustin sitting right out there?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Dustin's a public persona okay, that's why he's on Riyah.
So you can talk about Dustin Dustin, you can talk
about Casey.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
He looks tired. Oh, Bianka is here.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Hi Bianca, I have a question for both of you,
so kind of share that mind.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
These are on, by the way, so don't cuss. Okay,
you can pull that one. Yeah, well go ahead, Dustin
this one? Yeah? Or what did you do last night?
Are we buzzing the No? No, we're fine. I went
to the baseball game. God, you look horrible. What the
looks like? He got sun? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I did
sit uh.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
In the sunshine and listen very I have I have
a yes or no question.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
On average, on average, you've been here forever, right, on average, Dustin,
you'll answer this. Also, on average, does Josh ask for
tickets to more than ten.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Shows a year?
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Okay, he said, on average it's ten plus ten, So
it's a lot. It's a lot.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
And he also asks from different people.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
I don't know what that means, not just you. So
he'll ask you and Dustin.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Thirty tickets, maybe forty more than anybody else.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Easily, Yes, he is. And listen.
Speaker 7 (16:50):
By the way, let me say this, I will try
to accommodate anybody that ask for tickets.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
It doesn't matter what department. I will try.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Coming up, I'll be giving Dustin's cell phone.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
I try to accommodate everything. He by far asks.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
By far, oh, five fold, four fold, fivefold. Also he
feels like, and I may be I may be speaking
for him a little bit because the company did pay
for the taxes on his TV that the company should
pay the taxes on the Metallica.
Speaker 7 (17:21):
Tickets, not my department, ask Alice.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
I'll talk to all about it.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Right, I'm sorry to bother everybody's day I'm sorry to
hold on joy Josh.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Joshute there answers, he wrote, asking us a different than going.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Oh, has he gotten that? Great question?
Speaker 1 (17:40):
No, great clarification, Josh, has he received more than?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
I'm gonna ask Bianca and then I'm gonna ask Dustin?
Have you given?
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Has Josh received more, on average more than tickets to
more than ten shows a year?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Yes? From you? Now? How many from you?
Speaker 6 (18:00):
From me? I don't know, a lot of my stuff
comes with Sydney too, so maybe I would say from
Sydney and.
Speaker 7 (18:09):
I ten, that's ten, okay, and from you in multiple markets,
so he'll he'll go to things in Philly too, right, Yeah, which,
by the way, I have no issue with the but
his conservative approach, though, he was a little misleading.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
