I loved about Thomas Rhet's show is he was very
engaged with his fans. He walked down the aisle and
we were able to get very very close. We even
gave him high fives. Candice, high five, Thomas Rhett, Did
(09:34):
you give him a high five? No, we gave him
an orange crush.

That's what we gave to Thomas Read and I think
that that was the best way to welcome into Maryland.
Speaker 1 (09:45):

crushes that we gave him. I think we need to
give him a little bit more diversity. Okay, I'm thinking.

point one WPOC wrapping up Hall of Fame week. It
(14:26):
was a complete Let me just say this one more time.
I can't think of anything that's been more humbling in
my entire career than what has happened in the last
couple of weeks, being recognized by people that I've worked
with for I've been in country radio since nineteen ninety four,
so we're going on thirty years, and I did pop
(14:47):
and rock before that for another ten years, so I mean,
it's been a long time, and so for this to happen,
I've met a lot of folks and they were all
together and it was you know, it was very heartwarming,
you know it was. It was overwhelming really, So, so
here we are today. Y'all have done an amazing job
(15:08):
getting all of these artists to check in. I know
that took a lot of coordination, a lot of work,
a lot of back and forth and emails and video files,
and I appreciate that more than you know, well good.

has a bigger head after becoming the off, it's Michael.
Speaker 1 (15:34):

you also have a big uh hat?
Speaker 2 (15:39):

Speaker 3 (15:41):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Can we play to say one please?
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Big feet?
Speaker 1 (15:44):
All right? So number four, this is the fourth and
final star to check in for Hall of Fame week.
I have no idea what we're about to hear, so
let's listen together. Hey, Michael J it's Brad Paisley. Congratulations.
Nobody deserves this more. I'm telling you you have had
such an amazing career. More than that, you are so
fun to talk to, You fun to be interviewed by,
(16:04):
fun to listen to, and you have built an incredible
legacy and it's.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
So exciting that you're going in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
I'm honored to be your friend and have a blast
and enjoy this moment.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
You deserve it. Wow, I don't even know what to say.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
First off, you know, Brad has been like he's been
with us for so long, and he's been he's so cool.
He called me up and he said there's no one
else in the country that he would want to introduce
him in LA for a iHeart Theater show that we did,
and then I flashed back. So I get to LA
(16:40):
to introduce Brad Paisley. I'm thrilled to be there because
Brad is an awesome guy. And I walk in this building,
I'm like, I been here before. So when I was
a little kid, like maybe nine ten years old, we
had a family trip that we went to California, and
we used to sit around our kitchen table and go,
where can we go on vacation? And we would save
(17:00):
for My family would save for a couple of years
and we'd go away and we went. We're like, Dad, Mom,
wouldn't it be cool if you could go to Hollywood?
And we went and I remember trying to call Casey Kase.
I wanted to see the studio. And while we were there,
we went to Johnny Carson and the Tonight Show and
we sit in this this studio and we watched.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
It to Night Show.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
I can still remember Manhattan Transfer was the musical artist
on Anyway. So fast forward, you know, I don't know
how many years Brad Paisley's a get out of here.
I want you to introduce me. I walk and I'm like,
this is the building where Johnny Carson.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Used to do this to Night Show full circle moment, and.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
I stood right where the star was where Johnny Carson
came out every night to introduce. Brad pays, I'm just
and then and to hear him, I'm just wow.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
That's what comes back to me right away. Wow.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
You guys have done a lot of good work throughout
the years as well.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Brad does a lot of good work.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
He has the store in Nashville, and Brad and Kimberley,
his wife, I think what they do is unbelievable. They
give away free groceries to families in need, and they
pay absolutely nothing for the food that's delivered and and donated,
and then the families get it, and then it's just
a way of giving back. And then at Christmas time
(18:18):
they do the same thing with Christmas presents for kids.
So Brad is a hell of a nice guy. I'm like, wow,
what a week.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
See I told you, all right, one last surprise.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
All right, there's something that I put right behind you
there over that chair.
Speaker 4 (18:31):

his shoulders. What am I going to sue?

(09:34):

that that was the best way to welcome into Maryland.

crushes that we gave him. I think we need to
give him a little bit more diversity. Okay, I'm thinking.

point one WPOC wrapping up Hall of Fame week. It
(14:26):
was a complete Let me just say this one more time.
I can't think of anything that's been more humbling in
my entire career than what has happened in the last
couple of weeks, being recognized by people that I've worked
with for I've been in country radio since nineteen ninety four,
so we're going on thirty years, and I did pop
(14:47):
and rock before that for another ten years, so I mean,
it's been a long time, and so for this to happen,
I've met a lot of folks and they were all
together and it was you know, it was very heartwarming,
you know it was. It was overwhelming really, So, so
here we are today. Y'all have done an amazing job
(15:08):
getting all of these artists to check in. I know
that took a lot of coordination, a lot of work,
a lot of back and forth and emails and video files,
and I appreciate that more than you know, well good.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
There were a lot of meetings that were like, hey,
get Michael over there so that we can talk over here.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
The last night, a big head you had my head,

has a bigger head after becoming the off, it's Michael.
Speaker 1 (15:34):

you also have a big uh hat?
Speaker 2 (15:39):

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Big feet?
Speaker 1 (15:44):
All right? So number four, this is the fourth and
final star to check in for Hall of Fame week.
I have no idea what we're about to hear, so
let's listen together. Hey, Michael J it's Brad Paisley. Congratulations.
Nobody deserves this more. I'm telling you you have had
such an amazing career. More than that, you are so
fun to talk to, You fun to be interviewed by,
(16:04):
fun to listen to, and you have built an incredible
legacy and it's.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
So exciting that you're going in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
I'm honored to be your friend and have a blast
and enjoy this moment.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
You deserve it. Wow, I don't even know what to say.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
First off, you know, Brad has been like he's been
with us for so long, and he's been he's so cool.
He called me up and he said there's no one
else in the country that he would want to introduce
him in LA for a iHeart Theater show that we did,
and then I flashed back. So I get to LA
(16:40):
to introduce Brad Paisley. I'm thrilled to be there because
Brad is an awesome guy. And I walk in this building,
I'm like, I been here before. So when I was
a little kid, like maybe nine ten years old, we
had a family trip that we went to California, and
we used to sit around our kitchen table and go,
where can we go on vacation? And we would save
(17:00):
for My family would save for a couple of years
and we'd go away and we went. We're like, Dad, Mom,
wouldn't it be cool if you could go to Hollywood?
And we went and I remember trying to call Casey Kase.
I wanted to see the studio. And while we were there,
we went to Johnny Carson and the Tonight Show and
we sit in this this studio and we watched.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
It to Night Show.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
I can still remember Manhattan Transfer was the musical artist
on Anyway. So fast forward, you know, I don't know
how many years Brad Paisley's a get out of here.
I want you to introduce me. I walk and I'm like,
this is the building where Johnny Carson.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Used to do this to Night Show full circle moment, and.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
I stood right where the star was where Johnny Carson
came out every night to introduce. Brad pays, I'm just
and then and to hear him, I'm just wow.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
That's what comes back to me right away. Wow.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
You guys have done a lot of good work throughout
the years as well.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Brad does a lot of good work.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
He has the store in Nashville, and Brad and Kimberley,
his wife, I think what they do is unbelievable. They
give away free groceries to families in need, and they
pay absolutely nothing for the food that's delivered and and donated,
and then the families get it, and then it's just
a way of giving back. And then at Christmas time
(18:18):
they do the same thing with Christmas presents for kids.
So Brad is a hell of a nice guy. I'm like, wow,
what a week.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
See I told you, all right, one last surprise.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
All right, there's something that I put right behind you
there over that chair.
