Speaker 2 (00:49):
Hey, hey, start with Taylor Swift. How big was this debut,
this album?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Well, it was the biggest news, almost the biggest news
of the weekend. She unleashed her new album, The Life
of a Showgirl, and a lot of critics thought she
run out of gas. I'm not kidding you. I know
people who are students in that world, and they predicted
that she was on the downslope. But it turns out
(01:17):
she's bigger than ever.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Well, she is thirty five, and that like a turning
point for a pop star.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Well supposed to be, but she takes see what happens
in that world of teenagers and fans of some of
the girly kind of stars out there, they move on
to the next whoever is and with Taylor Swift, she
takes her fans with her. Now. I mean, if you
(01:46):
talk to a woman in her thirties, maybe even early forties,
they know who she is, and a lot of them
are big fans, especially if they went to see her
on that big tour. I know, people that had no
love whatsoever for Taylor Swift had to take their kids
or their grandkids to see one of those shows and
(02:06):
they came back a fan.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Now you've known them all, would you say she is
the smartest business wise, marketing wise of all of them.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I gotta tell there's nobody in her category right now.
I mean, you see a lot of these stars that
these young girls, they get out there, they have a
couple of hits, and then they disappear. I mean they
battled to stay, you know, relevant, but it doesn't happen.
She's bigger than ever. I mean, just when they thought
she'd run out of gas. She's bigger than ever. And
(02:39):
on Friday she sold two point seven million albums and
then for the whole weekend. I mean it's over the top.
And on top of that, a lot of people didn't
even know about this. She had the number one movie
and the theaters about that.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
It's not just the album. She came out sweaters, shirts
and mittens. I mean, every kind of merchandising all in
one day. It's brilliant, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
You know the rock thought he was going to make
it big with this new movie is the Smashing Machine.
He got buried. I mean, this is a movie. It's
about eighty minutes long, and it's all about the new album.
And they I mean it was huge. I mean not
just in America, all around the world. People went in
(03:29):
and see them see that thing.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Now, when did you first meet Taylor Swift?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I met her when she was a country singer. Wo
and her dad brought her by PLJ when I was
working there, and they just the record promotion guy wanted
to impress the label and the people that they knew,
you know, stars and Scott and Todd on PLJ. And
she came by and she played this song called Teardrops
(03:57):
on my guitar. Her first hit the country, and she
brought a copyright. I never heard it at that point,
and I asked her dad if we'd be all right
if we play it, and he I thought it was
going to jump up and kiss me, you know, because
no other top forty stations were playing the song at
(04:20):
the time, And so we put it on and later
even added it to the playlist. And that was and
she always stayed in touch since then. Anytime we needed
an interview, she was there. Even when I was working
at CBSFM, she came by. We didn't we don't play
Taylor Swift on that station. She came by and just
(04:44):
wanted to say hi and thank me, and it was
It was great. She's a she's a very special person.
I mean she somehow manages I mean that tour that
she was on. You don't see regular singers and artists
go out there like she did and just nail it
every night. That was a very complicated, uh, behind the
(05:08):
scenes tour to do. I mean, if you have if
you've ever seen a video of it or anything else,
it's highly choreographed and there's people everywhere. You got to
be on your spot. They're coming out of the floor
and it's just and then she did the whole show,
I mean every night, and not just in America, all
(05:28):
around the world. She had bigger She had bigger crowds
in Europe than she did here because they have those
they have the big football stadium that see a lot
more people than than you know, like where the Giants
and the Jets play or try to play.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Well. Hey, Scott Schennon, you know all these football players,
What the hell is the deal? What's the deal with
this Mark Sanchez? What is he? Nuts?
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Oh, that's the craziest damn story of the week. I
mean this it's nuts and Indianapolis of all places. I mean,
he's been pretty quiet, by the way. He's pretty good
at what he does. A lot of these jocks convert
to television and they don't make it, you know, they'll
(06:13):
do a year or two and then they suddenly disappear
from CBS or Fox Sports. But this guy's pretty good.
And he was in Indianapolis to call a Raiders Colts game,
and I don't I mean when they first put it
on the news that no, damn idea, what the hell
(06:33):
what happened? Because he was drinking in a bar. They're
a very popular place too. It's a it's a Lawmailler's pub,
and for some reason, I guess it was that after
midnight he went wandering out of the pub and for
some reason he wanted to talk to this truck driver
(06:54):
sixty nine years old, who was there to pick up
the grease from the kitchen of the hotel which is
right next to, right near this pub. And then Mark
decides he's going to be a traffic director and get
out there and tell him he can't park or he's parking,
which he parks there all the time. And the whole
(07:18):
thing evolved into a fight. The guy's sixty nine years old,
which is not old, but it's you know, when you're
six foot two, two hundred and thirty pound X quarterback,
you know that's a little dangerous. And the guy, to
make things worse, he didn't he needs a hearing a
but he didn't have it in because when he's working
(07:39):
it it doesn't work very well, or something like that
his family said. And then there's a picture. Have you
seen the picture in the post today of the guy,
Not of Mark, but of the guy he beat the
crap out of and he's got stitches in his lip,
and it's all over both lips, and he's got a
(08:00):
stitch on the left side of his face. I don't
know how he got and I guess he hit him
in the mouth and it went through his cheeks. And
you know, you don't need to know all that. But
and then they say that he was so he stunk
of alcohol and he was slurring his words and uh.
(08:21):
And the funny thing about it when you first heard it,
when someone says Mark Mark Sanchez got stabbed by a guy.
And then they said the police arrested him, You go, what,
he's the victim, and and he's you know, he's he
was in that. They went to the hospital to arrest him.
(08:43):
They got him on like four or five charges, but
they said he was drinking. He was he was walleyed.
I don't know if you remember that or not, that
term walleye when you can't walk straight. And and the
police said when they interviewed him, he didn't remember what happened,
who stabbed him, or even where it happened.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
I don't think we'll see him for a while on
any of you.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
No, I don't think he's going to be the Fox
hasn't announced it to my knowledge, but I don't know
if he's going to go back on TV. But remember
when he was a super stud, when he was here
in New York playing for the Jets. Hey, yeah, he
dated Kate Upton, that beautiful model, Jamie Lin Sigler. He
(09:31):
was hanging out with her, and he had a long
relationship with Ava Longoria. One of her one of her
boy toys.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Hey, we only have a minute a half left. I
want to ask you, I hate to ask you this,
What's what's going to happen with the New York Yankees?
Speaker 1 (09:43):
I got I got a question for you, A simple question.
Do you think anyone has ever been happier to get
the hell out of Canada than the New York Yankees
last night?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
But what did his answer? Two games to play, they
were favored to win both of them by the you know,
the baseball experts. And in the two games, the Blue
Jays scored what twenty three runs and the Yankees scored eight.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
So what makes you think it'll be any better at
Yankee Stadium?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Well, it's their home turf, and they can't suck that
bad three games in a row. The game three tomorrow
night at Yankee Stadium. They got to win it. They
got a winner. They're done. Yeah, it doesn't look good, no,
but they got a chance. It will probably bounce back.
And I'm not saying they're done. I'm just saying, what
(10:37):
the hell of a way to start a series. But
if you think about it, New York City as a
sports capital of the world. We got two Major League
Baseball teams, one of them didn't even make the postseason,
the others on the brink are going home. We got
two NFL football teams and right now, one of them,
the Jets, can't beat anybody they play. They're owing five.
(11:00):
And the other team just lost to another team that
couldn't beat anybody. Danny couldn't beat anybody till they played
the Giants.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Yeah it's pretty anyway. Well, Hey, tell peop where they
can hear the True Oldies Channel.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
