Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Especially in the Jam and morning showwith DJ Foreign and Saunty When you need
to know, No, we gotyou three things you need to know on
Buston's number one for hip hop andthe best brobags. You haven't any more
Vive all right, Babes Tuesday,June fourth, and let's start with method
Man, Poor Guy. So methodMan. It was set to perform at

(00:24):
Hot ninety seven Summer Jam in NewYork City, very famous show. You
know, the concert shows for theradio have always been big. They're starting
to die down just because if I'mbeing honest with you guys, because we
get it. We do get SummerJam questions as well. Artists can go
to clubs now and perform one songand make Bougo bucks like crazy amounts of

(00:49):
money. So for them to wantto come to a Summer Jam concert and
perform for an hour, they wantthe amount of money they would get as
if they're headlining a tour. Sothen what happens is we get this one
big artist, but then we havezero dollars left in our budget, so
we can't get anybody else, andit turns it doesn't turn into a concert
like a Summer Jam. We haveall these people together anymore, it's just

(01:11):
one person. So we've kind oftaken a step back on that because we
know what you guys expect from asummer jam show and it just doesn't make
sense anymore. And it's also abusiness, but to put on a concert
like that, the station should beable to make money, and it's they
they stopped like a good example thisis I'm not kidding for the Kiss concert
down the hall for their summer concertthis past weekend, they had Shaboozie.

(01:36):
They could afford for him to doone song. He did one song and
left and probably made more money thanyou can imagine, and then went to
the Grand and probably made more.Absolutely, it's just a different day and
age. And I remember back inthe day, like the headliners would get
like two hundred thousand dollars to dothirty minutes. It's crazy. Yeah,

(01:57):
now times have changti. These vestvalswill give you a bag like this,
what you want, how much come? And for important it is in the
clubs like sometimes these artists go toclubs, don't even have to perform.
They just got to get on themike and say what it's hosting, and
they provided with everything. You walkin you got a table, you get
everything, and you and you wanttwenty forty sixty seventy eighty one hundred and

(02:19):
that time you only got one hitsingle your new artist. Yeah, everybody's
chasing that bad They're getting it.They're getting it. That's wild. They're
getting it. It's also just atthese shows a different group of people that
are going age wise, like thingsare changing. It's a lot younger now.
So methad Man, who you know, was our time, okay,
he goes to this concert and he'slike, the gap is just too wide

(02:44):
for me. He said, quotenot our crowd at all. Thanks again,
New York and the whole try estate. I got love for you guys,
but never again at this point.The generation gap is just too wide
for me. Hashtag never coming back. So in comparison, it was Method
red Man, but the headliners wereDoja Cat, Sexy Red and Offset,

(03:06):
which is gonna give you a differentlike a younger generation. Yeah, the
babies, like the younger kids aregoing to be at this show. They
don't they don't know any of thesesongs. They don't know. I think
this one came out in ninety five, ninety You play this to the right
crowd. Yeah, people are goingnuts, But I don't know a sixteen

(03:30):
year old that asked me twenty yearyeah, hey, can I go see
Doja Cat or Sexy Red? Theydon't. They don't know, And I
don't think he's wrong for saying this, right, he recognized what was going
on. Yeah, and they hadgreat performance, him and Red Man,
great perform lot. Those stage presenceis amazing. So for them to put

(03:50):
in that kind of work on stageand see no reaction, it was probably
like No, I felt bad too, because they were putting in work out
there too. By the way,I didn't see it coming, but I
was chatting with a j about thisthis morning and she was like, method
Man is aging. Well he looksgood. Yeah, those arms look great.

(04:14):
I have to check them out,all right. Meg the Stallion giving
us a date on her third studioalbum, it's going to be entitled Megan.
Remember when she started with this newalbum coming out, and it was
like the snakes and the shedding ofthe skin. She she she changed because
the new artwork shows like a transparentm emerging like a cocoon coming out of

(04:39):
a butterfly of the M. Well, it's kind of like the snake has
a negative connotation, right, It'slike, you know, if you saw
a snake versus butterfly. We're thinkingdifferent things. One is giving. One
is giving like revenge and I'm goingto attack you, and the other one's
like I'm gonna float and fly off, she said. We they started with

(05:00):
the snake because I feel like snakesare so misunderstood, especially in Western culture.
They represent rebirth and spirituality. Ilike darker things that are a little
scary. I picked the snake becauseit was kind of like an anti hero.
There you go, I guess Taylorswill I was. I thought that
too. But anyways, Megan,which will be her? Like I said,
third studio album will be released onJune twenty eight. Uh oh,

(05:26):
Jesus's birthday. That's birthday? Soundthe book It's not Jesus' birthday. And
if anybody was actually like wait,what, slap yourself because June twenty eighth
is Sondy's birthday. And then nowyou'll have an album for it. Hock
Girl, Summer Ny stopping it.Yeah, it always gets worse somehow,
all right, And lastly, ourguy and Nick Roco joined us right now,

(05:51):
Karen Reid back in court yesterday aftera weird week last week where court
was only in session one day.Jurors saw John O'Keefe's outfit that he was
found in, T shirt, hoodie, jeans, single black Nike sneaker.
We had forensics, a day ofphysical evidence. We saw the tail light,

(06:12):
we saw hair, and we finallyNick got eyes on the famous piece
of glass. Yeah. So theglass on the bumper is going to be
very interesting considering the fact that itwasn't embedded into the bumper like they originally
had been telling people. It wasjust sitting on the back of the bumper

(06:33):
as if, you know, basicallyas if somebody placed it there, because
if when that vehicle was moving,there's no way there is no way that
that glass would have stayed on thatbumper after seventy miles of travel. I
don't know if you two or evenyou Nick remember, but when we were
younger, we would take like awhite piece of paper folded in half and

(06:55):
you would kind of cut it weirdand you would make snowflakes. Ye.
Yeah, John O'Keefe's shirt looked likeI'm not kidding, someone took it and
folded it, folded it in halfand cut like was trying to cut a
snowflake. He did not the way. Yeah, it was like ripped,
but in it just precision. Yeah, it did not give I was hit
by a car and drug like likedragged. It did not look like that,

(07:18):
at least to me. But Iknow a lot of people have kind
of really honed in on the Tshirt and did he have a belt on?
Did he not? I love thatwe had actual physical evidence in court
yesterday. So Nick's gonna break allof that down for us. Next,
