Josh would have been in charge of this thing. Oh okay, wait,
why is Josh in charge of traffic? No? Making sure
it's clean? Oh, that is true. I've never seen him
get up during a commercial break.

Speaker 1 (02:11):

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Don't that we don't or maybe we do. Do we

a drone.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
Didn't Dan? We can't afford a drone. Does he have
drones that house?

Speaker 3 (02:53):
So does Elliot, but he's not surveying traffic neither.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
It is.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Dance may at least be out of the box. So
that's from But then what is the thing after the drone?
What's the funny bit? What about the chili something?

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Can I play it again? I didn't even catch that one. Yes,
live from the DC one on one drone. Okay, that
is enough hot. I thought we wanted to hear the
next part.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
I do, But now I'm now I'm so focused in
on the traffic drone.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
We don't have one? No, that sounds like a joke.

The okay, all right, I'll give him that I'll give
him that, all right, play again, Yes, live from the DC.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
One on one draf drone.

to ruin that. But okay, whatever.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Your popper road.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Now I'm being now, I'm being nitpicky.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
And sometimes people do say that you ride the beds
a little high, right, okay, but I can't hear anything.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Your bed. It's like Dennis Morden the no is it just?
Is it just me? Or is that stupid? I don't
get it.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
I don't understand it.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Is that what it is? I think it's hysterical? Is
this for jen Beta? Yes?

Speaker 3 (04:16):
The newborns understand the hero?

Speaker 4 (04:18):
I don't get it, Like what part of my missing
Is the joke unrelated to the drone? Are we trying
to connect the two?

Speaker 2 (04:26):
I don't know?

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Or is it is it a reference to the guy's voice.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Say again, guy, it's a girl doing the.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
No no, no, no, no no. The guy he talks
about the chili powder?

Speaker 2 (04:36):
What about him? Oh hi, Josh, what is that chill? You?
Good to see you you too? The what is what
is the traffic?

Speaker 6 (04:44):
So we got a bunch of bits Dustin wanted to
change up the traffic. It was Stax's voice before, and
it was just kind of boring.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
By the way, Stags hasn't worked here. That's fine, that's fine.

Speaker 6 (04:56):
Is in New York.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
It's good, like maybe it's time, so we're gonna freshen up. Okay,
so we got it. That's stupid.

Speaker 6 (05:06):
We got a bunch of those.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Do you like those? Be honest?

Speaker 6 (05:09):
No, can you explain the joke? I don't even know
what the jokes were, and what ended up happening was why.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
This is the guy? Wait, whose idea was this? Dustin right,
the director of brand strategy? What strategy was it? Crash
right into the ground.

Speaker 6 (05:24):
I don't know what the joke was either. I guess
it was supposed to be, you.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Know whatever, die in Wait. I'm sorry, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (05:30):
What the joke's rather than probably those one liners after
they say DC one on traffic.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Right.

Speaker 6 (05:34):
But the production that I got that I loaded in right,
So the beds were hot, it's hot.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Like oh this oh this audio is hot? To get
it on the ear as definitely wasn't that hot.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
Oh, Commander Chuck, Oh, we gotta get this on it's hot. Oh,
it's like the brand new Paul Abduel. Oh that's a
hot song reference. I'm going to the era, Diane.

Speaker 4 (05:59):
But can you are these airing this morning?

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (06:04):
We switched them out because they suck so bad, probably
that day or dust just like six years.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Well, now it's been a week, let's freshen again.

Speaker 6 (06:13):
He emailed me like that.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
Director of brand strategy.

Speaker 6 (06:17):
Emailed me that day. I think three rand that rotates
the same joke ran every time traffic ran.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
Here's that joke you don't get again?

Speaker 6 (06:27):
And someone's like why they keep playing the same like
I kept seeing like people commenting on So then he's like,
we're getting place take it off. And then we just
got generic beds and I just literally loaded in. It
doesn't even say DC want to traffic anymore. It's just
a bed and the traffic runs right, which is way less?
Is more?

Speaker 1 (06:49):
So? Wait, so we went from but what what's wrong
with it? Saying the DC one on one travels.

Speaker 6 (06:54):
There's nothing wrong with it. I just think the what happens.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
What the production sucks, what happens happens? Now?

Speaker 6 (07:00):
It just the bed just it.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
Just so it comes out of out of.

Speaker 6 (07:04):
Like she might do her her news and sports, and
then it goes in the thing and then I'll just
play the bed.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
Right, there's no intro to it, right, so it's just
the traffic starts and that's it.

Speaker 6 (07:13):
Bed bed goes pots down a little bit because I
fixed it this time, right, and.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
Then thank you you know you didn't director of brand strategy, idiots.

Speaker 6 (07:21):
And then the traffic runs you know obviously where the
tones are.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Right, okay, and then afterwards it just goes back into whatever.

Speaker 6 (07:28):
The music fades out, the traffic runs and goes in
the next spot.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Right, okay, But you agree? But what were there? And
you said there were there were multiple of the.

Speaker 6 (07:36):
Fun I think I had. I think there was like
six of each, six thirties and six fifteens.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
Right that that part doesn't matter to anybody.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
Do you understand any of the jokes?

Speaker 2 (07:44):
No?

Speaker 3 (07:45):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Now where what? Okay?

Speaker 1 (07:47):
But that's okay. Not everybody understands everybody's comedy? Were any
of them good? No?

Speaker 2 (07:52):
Right? And did who wrote them?

Speaker 1 (07:55):
That?

Speaker 6 (07:55):
I don't know? Possibly Dustin maybe Jones. I don't know.
I have no idea who wrote I don't that's not
a shade of Jones. I just don't know who wrote him.
So it is if he wrote they were great. I
don't know who wrote right, but.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
You you thought they were stoopid.

Speaker 6 (08:09):
I just didn't. I didn't get the one liners right.
It wasn't my comedy.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
But why are we I don't even know why are
we doing that?

Speaker 6 (08:14):
Because the drones were like the current event. You know,
right before the holiday there were drones everywhere in Jersey
right right right near here, Washington, d C. Right near it.
Oh so that was the ha ha, Yeah, just trying
to catch on cash in on it.

Speaker 4 (08:29):
Right, And so did the drone set up exist before
the one liners?

Speaker 6 (08:35):
The drones set up like the intro of the traffic
or literal drones.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
No, No, for like a few weeks were we doing
from the DC one on one.

Speaker 6 (08:42):
No, it's just SAX. It was just SAX doing the
DC one to one traffic or DMV traffic or whatever
you said.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
Right, So the drones thing was just for one day.

Speaker 6 (08:49):
No, it was supposed to be like for a couple
of weeks, but they were literally that first day. Literally
the email of Dustin said, we're getting complaints to get
rid of it.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
Oh my god. Wait, so if we complain about something,
you'll get rid.

Speaker 6 (09:02):
Of it that I don't take that up with the programmer.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
I'm gonna email stop playing outcast. It's enough already, hey man.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
To prinstance. I am happy to hear though in this
definitely Wait, they're not running anymore, not the drone ones. No,
we've been, But what about the stupid.

Speaker 6 (09:23):
No, the beds have been running since that day that
I took him out. It was running that whole time
during best of.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
No.

Speaker 6 (09:29):
No, no, it's been running, just the bed, not the drone.
But the drones were done immediately.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
What about the stupid joke before?

Speaker 6 (09:38):
It was so the joke and the intro and the
bed were literally one piece of production.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
So we spent all that time to get that done
and only played.

Speaker 6 (09:47):
All that time that I took to load into the system,
which was a pain in the ass, believe me.

Speaker 4 (09:53):
But what I was going to say is I am
happy to see it's very on brand that Josh thought
something was terrible for the air and did not raise
his hand. That's a hallmark of meetings here too much.
People think not enough opposing views, right.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
So did he?

Speaker 1 (10:10):
So so somebody sat around, like we need to freshen
up the traffic.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Let's go with the drone.

Speaker 6 (10:14):
Yeah, I guess that's I guess that's what happened in
the meeting. I oh, I know is we had our
meeting one Monday and we're like, hey, we're doing the
drones traffic stuff and it was like okay, nobody opposed
to it.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
Made that announcement in the meeting.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Dustin Matthews, the program director of d brand What is
the rock program?

Speaker 2 (10:32):
Director of brand strategy.

Speaker 6 (10:34):
Director of Rock Program.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
I don't even know what that is. I have no
idea what that is.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
Now of people are trying to figure out the joke.
But you keep talking over it every time we hear it.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Oh well he played again. Dustin will say thank you?
Was his live from the DC.

Speaker 5 (10:52):
One O one traffic drone. That is not enough hot
chili pepper. That's that's going to ruin that. But okay,
whatever is it?

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Because Dustin likes hot sauce.

Speaker 6 (11:02):
Yes, and I don't even know, but yes, it has
to be. I five more if you want those too,
I'll send them right over to you. I don't even
want to load them in. But I'm a good I'm
a good employee. Yeah, like what, oh, I don't remember them?
They were that bad like they're so No, I literally can't.
I cannot remember one. I'd have to I literally would
have to send it to you. They heard again, I

(11:24):
I I loaded it in. That was the last time
I heard it. But they were bad?

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Is Dustin is Dustin? Here is the director of brand strategy?
Here he's here today.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
I don't know if were these archived, what menu were
they under?

Speaker 6 (11:36):
They were under beds and it would just be DC
one on one.

Speaker 7 (11:40):
Is the director coming in, Kristen. Okay, here's the director trying.
I heard you were I heard you were making fun
of me.

Speaker 6 (11:52):
I do what you're talking about?

Speaker 1 (11:52):
You write the stupid traffic things, the traffic drones, the yeah, yeah,
there's more than one, Diane.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
I got more.

Speaker 6 (12:01):
I got more.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Uh yeah.

Speaker 7 (12:03):
We a bunch of us are Jones and me and
uh oh. And then Jamie the voiceover guy, had some
ideas of his own tunes.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
See they're wonderful. What is the it's fun? No, it wasn't. Well,
if they were so fun, why'd you pull them?

Speaker 1 (12:18):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Well, the beds were really loud. That's why you pulled it.
Because the beds were loud, not because they were all stupid. No,
I don't think they were stupid. What is the chili
pepper one? Uh? Because they're spying on you. That's the
whole bit.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
That doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
I know, Diane, you don't like that one.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
But I've heard it five times.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
That's here for a six times.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
You may change them out now you know the context
right live from the DC one on one drone that
is not not hot chili pepper.

Speaker 5 (12:50):
That's that's going to ruin that.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
But okay, whatever, No.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
Am I angry that it drones over my head, so
I'm throwing chili pepper out it. It doesn't make sense.

Speaker 7 (13:02):
Spying on you so it knows that you're not putting
enough chili pepper on your on your food.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
What can I ask you this?

Speaker 3 (13:07):
Wow? I love a joke that has to be explained
six times in that.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
Maybe maybe Josh said all of them sucked.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
We probably because we didn't use any of his ideas.

Speaker 6 (13:19):
Have any idea?

Speaker 1 (13:24):
I don't anything that is true. Yeah, I think you
thought they were all really good.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
She thought they were good. Are we putting them back in?

Speaker 5 (13:30):
No?

Speaker 2 (13:30):
Because the drone craze is over right now? Oh okay, See,
we were.

Speaker 7 (13:35):
Being we were being topical but the beds were wicked loud,
and then the bit.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
The bit's over, but.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
Just the okay, it's just a weird that's a weird
place to try to make the station shine.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
I thought it was great.

Speaker 7 (13:52):
It's just three times the beds were so insanely loud
you couldn't hear the repeat?

Speaker 6 (13:57):
Is that what the complaints were that you got?

Speaker 2 (13:59):
Can ask you?

Speaker 1 (13:59):
This is everything else so well fixed that the only
thing left to polish is the stupid traffic report. Yep,
everything's great, Diane. We fixed everything. Now we're just gonna
put yuck yucks in the traffic.

Speaker 4 (14:18):
Wait, hold on, yes, a note from one of the
writers of the imaging, Hey Jones, Well the beds are
still super loud.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
Wait did Jones think it was a good idea or
was he just was? He just told you got to help,
and you gotta do it.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
It's trying to get to Christmas, all right.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
So but everybody agrees other than Dustin, director of brand strategy,
who is fixed everything.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
So all that was left was the was the traffic,
some fun nuts and fun traffic bits the that Diane's
very disappointed.

Speaker 7 (14:58):
But I remember, Diane, your anti traffic bed in general,
like you do you just want the traffic dry?

Speaker 6 (15:04):
Right?

Speaker 3 (15:04):
No, I'm not opposed to a bed.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
Wait can I game show beds? Can I see?

Speaker 6 (15:09):
Can I ask?

Speaker 2 (15:10):
Can I ask you the question in the rest? And
now you're.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
Offending John Ballard right who the last week checked was
trying to jump off the building.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
What's the has not a call somebody? Thank you? And
he deuced Curt Angle as well.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
Can I ask you this sure honest question, why are
we still doing traffic?

Speaker 2 (15:31):
What do you mean? Like, why do we why do
we have traffic reports? Yes? I I don't know. That's Elliott.
You know that's a dumb question. No, it really is.
What really I mean? Like why you don't believe they're necessary?

Speaker 1 (15:43):
No, I don't believe anybody is going, oh my god,
turn on DC one oh one.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
I got to hear what the traffic is. Here's the
thing though, I don't know if you hear, but I
know they're sponsored, so they no, no, no, but I'm
being serious. It's it's all for money.

Speaker 7 (15:57):
And the timely traffic. It's not it's not the people.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
It's not yeah, switching, they've already decided they have ways.
TP is also stupid. There's no they are if you
really give a goddamn open ways. There's nobody who's like,
oh my god, turn.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
On stop what you're doing, turn on one oh one.
They're gonna do traffic.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
I don't know when because he talks for forty minutes
at a time, but they're gonna get to traffic.

Speaker 7 (16:26):
There is nobody turning on the show to hear traffic.
We agree with that. Do I think that uh less
than Google Maps?

Speaker 2 (16:35):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (16:36):
Yes, or ways or whatever it is. Yes, there's nobody.
There's nobody doing. There's nobody listening because they care about traffic.
Does it maybe help when we get to it?

Speaker 2 (16:47):
Sure?

Speaker 7 (16:47):
God knows how long ago it was recorded exactly. I
don't think it hurts then. I don't think it's a
bad thing.

Speaker 4 (16:56):
Okay, but there were complaints about it December night.

Speaker 6 (17:01):
It hurt then, Yeah, we didn't like it. Then I'm
getting complaints? Is what you sent me?

Speaker 2 (17:06):
The he did?

Speaker 6 (17:09):
They were complaint people didn't like it. I don't know
if it was the joke it was the best, Okay,
they were wicked.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
I wasn't a joke. Was like, well that's not is
that on Josh? Though?

Speaker 5 (17:20):
For not.

Speaker 6 (17:25):
Everyone knows.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
Director of Brand strategy.

Speaker 7 (17:27):
Everyone knows you got to bring the bed down because
it's gonna play.

Speaker 6 (17:31):
The whoever produced it should have done that.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
That is true.

Speaker 6 (17:35):
I wasn't the producer of.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
Jerry.

Speaker 6 (17:38):
No, it was Jerry. It wasn't me. The offense to
Jerry does great work, but not necessarily this time.

Speaker 1 (17:46):

dredge gun. Tom has a request because this did feel
very Indeca Central.
