Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, Hello there, Welcome to another episode of Lynch

(00:02):
and Taco's Off the Air podcast on Pat Lynch, Taco,
Bob across from me, and special guests in the studio
who we like to touch base with at least a
couple times a year. Our old buddies, Tom and Dan.
What's up, fellas, Hey, thank.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
You for having us.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
Always good to come back in the hallowed halls of clear.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
What I heeart? It's iHeart Media? You know I never
worked for iHeart.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
It's been that long. Yeah, before the name changed.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
I was twenty twelve. Really yeah, I was twenty twelve, so.

Speaker 4 (00:31):
Media, I think it was iHeart then.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
I don't think it wasn't Yeah, that was a last year.

Speaker 5 (00:36):
I think it's a fun fact if you want to
win like trivia, they'll never be triving about me.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
But I'm just saying, like, yeah, I never worked for iHeart.
It was weird because I do like the name iHeart better.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
If there was a better, if there was a trivia
question about you, what would you want a little fun
fact to be.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
I would like it to be. Oh man, that's wow.
That's a really great question.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Pat.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
You've had a lot of weird things happen in your life.
I mean, there'd be.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Okay, I would like for it to be about Uh,
you know, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
I have to come back to that.

Speaker 4 (01:05):
Well you think about that. I want to point something out. Technically,
you do work for iHeart.

Speaker 6 (01:12):
Under iHeart Under distributor of your content. They don't pay us,
they don't sell the commercial.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
There we lose. That's a Tom stupid deal.

Speaker 7 (01:27):
You too cute.

Speaker 5 (01:30):
Actually, the it's easier because when they pay you, they
hassle you a lot, yea. When they don't pay you,
leave you alone and leave you up with your own device.

Speaker 4 (01:40):
And they can sell the pat They sell their own spotsts.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Until somehow Tom started selling them.

Speaker 7 (01:48):
How that works.

Speaker 5 (01:49):
It's weird.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
It is weird.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
And the in case you don't know about their show,
obviously it's Tom and Dan. They do nights on one
of four point one.

Speaker 8 (01:58):
Man.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
It's because I always catch it when I'm going down
to my car to pull it out, turn it around
and back it in and uh and I'll sit there
in my car and put all the pollutants of my
exhausted in the garage. I get because I get stuck
listening to a good segment and I'm like, oh ude,
I'm gonna kill the family.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
It would happened very often because we don't have that
many good segments.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
But when we do, I appreciate you listening, man, Thank you. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
I tell Pat the next day, I'm like, yeah, Tom, Dan,
we're talking about this and whatever.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
It's been like ten years now, right, yeah. Yeah, it's
unbelievable to.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
Think that we have been doing that show for ten
years back on on real radio.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
But yeah, we enjoy it.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
That's just part of your data. I mean, you guys
are podcast pioneers. You guys, you guys were in doing
this before podcasting was something everybody and their brother was doing.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Oh, it's everybody's thing now.

Speaker 5 (02:51):
And nine is when we started a mediocre time with
Tom and Dan. We started in Daniel's studio he had
in his house, and it was when like Adam Carolla
and uh Mark and then it was only there were
only a few podcast podcast and when we started it,

(03:11):
no one really knew what it was. I remember, like,
people are like, what's a pod nest? You know, and
and then so.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
It seems sort of punk rock, you know, it seemed
like very much like you were dropping off your homemade tape. Yeah,
you know, because people would listen and yeah we were,
we were running that one uncensored and you know, we
still do on Friday. It's not so much anything else though. Yeah,
it was totally different. Now podcasting is I almost feel
like it is coming gone. I almost feel like now

(03:41):
we're at a point where do.

Speaker 7 (03:43):
You think it's been too watered down?

Speaker 5 (03:45):
Because absolutely, yeah, but you know what ended up happening
is it It is water down, but it now everybody
just has their own micro audience of super engaged people.
So it's like there's a podcast for everybody. So literally,
whatever religious affiliation, you are, a political like what, you

(04:08):
could listen to anybody who thinks like you. It's kind
of dangerous because it's it is creating like a uh
you know, you're only listening to like you, like you,
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah Yeahsycho.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
It's just psycho is in a room yelling at each other.

Speaker 5 (04:26):
You're not exposed to any difference of opinion or anything
because everybody just like falls into all right, I'm listening
to this now because they think like me, they are
are like me, and that's or what I'm into sports
or I'm into this, I'm into gardening. So I'm listening
to gardening podcasts that's a little.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
Bit right wing.

Speaker 7 (04:50):
Whatever you are, but.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
On a more simplistic turn, though, you like what you like.
If you eat chocolate ice cream, you're gonna buy and
eat awklet ice.

Speaker 7 (05:00):
Sure it's you. Usually you don't.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Venture a lot of times into spearmitt mango.

Speaker 7 (05:07):
Yeah, right, you know.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
I also think there's a level of exhaustion that we
all get because we all know what. We all know
what it's like on a human aspect to look at
Netflix and get that weird Netflix menu fatigue where you
go through and there's so much stuff that you're like, well,
I can't even hone it in, you know, like I
don't even know what to do.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Or you go to the.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
Cheesecake factory and there's like twenty seven pages and each
page has like forty items on it, and you're like, ah,
this is too much. And I think a lot of
us are kind of going through that now. Like I
find myself even in like TV podcasts, anything, there's so
much of everything that I find myself sitting in silence
a lot just because I have like the decision fatigue.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
I'm out of gas. I can't choose anymore.

Speaker 4 (05:49):
I don't say it to me. He'll go, Bob, I
have a really good show for you to watch on
insert name hbm axident And I say, I can't because,
as you said, Daniel, there's there's too much to choose from.
It is it is, And what a great analogy that
cheesecake menu, because that, yeah, it's anxiety.

Speaker 7 (06:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
I go there with Andrew and my wife were sitting there.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
She's like going through. She's like, what do you want.
I'm like, I'll probably just have bread and beers because
there's so much here that it's just it's I don't
like it.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
Just tell me what is good? Where are my gatekeepers at?

Speaker 1 (06:22):
On that note, we were off last week. We did
vacation last week, not together, because that's always asked. He
ended up in the keys. I went the exact opposite
and ended up in the mountains. And I got to
tell you, guys, man, with what you were just talking about,
the constant bombardment of this that, you know, just content, content, content,

(06:44):
and back and forth. It was so nice to sit
next to a fire pity up on top of a
mountain where my cell phone did not even connect, and
it was nice and cool out. Yeah, I was sitting
there with my dog by my side. My wife's you
know there as well. She's having a drink. I'm having
a cold beer.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
I'm with you a dog first, wife second, and I'm
just the dog.

Speaker 7 (07:10):
I would have.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
Listed in first, just like you did, though, you know
you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
No, I love the mountains. I love going to l J,
Georgia as my jam. There's a cabin on the river
there that I'm obsessed with. Yeah, I love it. I
love being able to disconnect. It's something that I just
now found, and I feel like it's because I am
of the generation born in seventy six that like I
can't handle the constant content as much as like I

(07:34):
think Tom's kids, my kid, yea, even y'all's kids will
handle it better than I will.

Speaker 7 (07:39):
Let's only know.

Speaker 4 (07:40):
Yeah, they're kind of in it, you know there, they've had.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
They manage it better. I think naturally.

Speaker 5 (07:45):
I have a theory that there there'll be vacation destinations
that promote we have Wi Fi and five G blockers
in this area where your cell phone won't work, and
then people will look for those places where they will
be forced to disconnect. Because I feel like disconnecting from

(08:08):
your cell phone is like a healthy thing to do
for your brain that we probably as a society haven't
realized one hundred percent, like we're starting to. I mean
even with my kids, Like we give them an hour
of screen time and that's it a day because they're
addicted to it, like they'll be on it. The video
games nowadays are not like what we used to their

(08:28):
their casinos. You know, they're endless casinos. There's no ending
to them. There's no levels. It's just you're in a
free world. And you're like, they're designed like casinos, so
they're constantly you know, looking at They're being designed to
be addictive. So it's like, you know when I see
them on screens and they love it so much and
their brains like go ahead, and I'm.

Speaker 7 (08:48):
Like, man, they're not good.

Speaker 5 (08:52):
It's good babysitter. I can put them on a screen
and they won't even eat for hours.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Hey, take this iPad into the other room.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
This is a Lynchin Taco Podcast. Our guests this week,
Tom and Tan All that said, I, for the sake
of transparency, we did manage to go in the cabin
over the course of the week in bingeview eight of
the ten episodes of the latest Lincoln Lawyer.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
Lincoln Lawyer.

Speaker 4 (09:20):
I thought you had no access to anything.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
My phone did not connect. I couldn't put inside the
cabin we had streaming service.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yeah, yeah, you have like hardwired, but outside it was hardwired.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
We were able to You said, are you going to
say that you went into the cabin had sex.

Speaker 7 (09:38):
With your dog?

Speaker 5 (09:41):
Shows seem fine to me, like because there's a beginning
and ending, there's writing and stuff. It's the mini reels
and the TikTok videos and then just like looking at
your fantasy football or your you know, it's like the
the the constant dopamine.

Speaker 7 (09:57):
Next thing, you know, you've lost three hours.

Speaker 5 (09:58):
Yeah yeah, and then you're like, what have I accomplished?
It's just scrolling And then you're like, oh, let me
look at this. Let me check my email, let me
check my social media, let me check my fantasy football,
Let me scroll a little bit on these reels that
call everyone is ten seconds longer. Just scroll, scroll, scroll,
and it's all like, oh, hours went by.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
And I don't know how censored or uncensored this show is,
but it is destroyed my backside because I will sit
for a bowel movement for we're fine. Yeah, hours, I
will sit and take a number two, I mean the
longest number twos.

Speaker 4 (10:32):
You can talk anyway you want, you know what.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
I mean, Like, I'll sit there and I'll just I mean,
I'm watching entire YouTube mini episodes.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
You're gonna get a pink sock though, Oh, I got them.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
I've got all the socks back there. It looks like
Susan g Coman back there.

Speaker 7 (10:46):
It's bad.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
It's real bad, dude. It's it's the ribbons, all the
ribbon ribbon bagels, pen Eera.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
I swear to God when I heard that term pink
sock for the first time and had it explain to me,
and I still remember to this day where it happened.
Taco you were there.

Speaker 4 (11:00):
It was somewhere.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
It was at a beer fest, a universal. Yes, the
listener explained it to us, a listener who, by the way,
was wearing a shirt that said I Love Bukacky.

Speaker 7 (11:11):
He knew all the terms.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yeah. When when he threw that one at us, I
was like, oh my god.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
That guy probably has a mohawk on his motorcycle helmet.

Speaker 5 (11:19):
When you put that T shirt on in the morning,
what's going through your mind?

Speaker 2 (11:27):
I want to become that guy.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
Like sometimes I see those things and I'm like, do
I like it?

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Do you want?

Speaker 3 (11:32):
I like the shirts, Like when I see a seven
hundred pound man with a shirt that says show me
your buttle, I like that guy.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
Those are the people who actually take the next step
from the impulse by the T shirt shopping to us
and actually follow off it and wear it when they
get back.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
See you can wear that shirt, that kind of shirt
to like you you guys beer fest because it's like
minded people. But I don't see how people walk around
in just regular town with one that says show me
your pussy.

Speaker 5 (12:07):
Yeah you're in lows.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
My god, what the hell is going on?

Speaker 5 (12:12):
Also, I feel like the shirts should say I like
watching Bukacki videos because it's very rare that you're ever
in a situation that actual book Bukacki is going.

Speaker 9 (12:24):
On across the globe, right, that is even a thousand
problems alive that doesn't even happen as swingers resorts or whatever,
like you can.

Speaker 6 (12:36):
Get you that's actress that.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
Yeah, you're not gonna be able to do.

Speaker 5 (12:41):
It, and then also participating in it is awkward as hell.
You're standing there, You're like, oh my turn, Oh god,
I can't know.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
I wouldn't be able to stand there with the other
dudes and not wear shoes on a raincoat.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
I'm not putting my feet, my bare feet on your
dirty floor.

Speaker 4 (12:57):
He said, you said, how many people have done that
where you're going to see at p Eddy party.

Speaker 5 (13:06):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
I don't know what he was doing some of the
things that he likes.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
Like when I read the things that he's doing and
I think of Bukkaki, I'm like, Bucky is fine, dude.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
That those folks who supposedly were at some of these events,
whose names at some point you know you've had you've
heard him bantered about, and you know they've got to
be freaking out.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
I mean, I've been to Orlando versions of that.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
What I'm I'm talking about. If you know you were
present when something that was not above born, something terrible
was going and knowing that a in your head, you've
had to live with this and you've probably suppressed it
to this point. And now that he's you know, got
the spotlight on him, he's do you think he wants

(13:54):
to go down by himself. No, no, hell no.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
Well it is more fun to go down with other people.

Speaker 5 (14:00):
I have thought of me and Daniel talked about this
and not to uh.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
Not to be uh you know, just might sound insane.

Speaker 5 (14:10):
I have thought if me and Daniel happened to get
famous in the late nineties when p Diddy was famous
during these parties or whatever, early two thousands, and then
we got somehow invited to post baddies crazy parties because
I remember hearing him in the nineties he have penguins
and crazy stuff.

Speaker 3 (14:29):
I would go and just bring some loop and I
probably would participate, but I'd stand there and watch somebody
get railed.

Speaker 5 (14:36):
But if we were there and then this was happening
around us, I think we would be like, I guess
this is what happens.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
I wouldn't be like, how dare this happened? I would
be like, I guess this is I'd be like, I'm
gonna go get a meatball something.

Speaker 5 (14:50):
This is what crazy rich hip hop celebrities do, right,
And I'm like I and this I assumed they did.

Speaker 3 (14:57):
I mean, I remember when Snoop Dogg put out a
series branded pornos with real porn stars in them and
it was his like line of pornos and you can
buy them, and I was like, oh.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
Of course this all makes sense.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
That's what they do when you become a rich rap star,
having an army of like sex slaves.

Speaker 4 (15:14):
But there's this thing you do when it comes to that.
You have to be careful because you look at it
and you say two different things. One he did he
went to that point because he it's almost like and Pat,
I think you and I talked about this. He had
so much money that you get to a point where
you're just bored with everything else. So now you're gonna
go ten steps further. But then the second thing is

(15:37):
when you say, if we were all famous back in
the nineties, would we go, Yeah, we would, but and
would we do whatever? Yeah we would, but we wouldn't
be nailing the chick that he drugged.

Speaker 10 (15:48):
And she's no, honestly, can't answer.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
I wanted to put on that much beer pressure that time.

Speaker 4 (16:03):
I wanted to put that on the records. So nobody
misheard this and said, oh, a horrible thing.

Speaker 7 (16:10):
Here's the thing.

Speaker 5 (16:11):
We're not employed by anybody that we don't care. We
can I get fired and we cannot get canceled. There
are sponsors. They told us they don't care.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
Whatever they want.

Speaker 5 (16:22):
It's all oh jokes.

Speaker 11 (16:24):
As long as you mentioned it is super sad because
like the whole thing, what what sucks about it is
it culturally and for a moment of time of like music,
because I do, I do feel bad about this part
of it.

Speaker 3 (16:35):
I hate it when I see celebrities that a lot
of us, uh, no matter what your you know, a socioeconomically, race, whatever,
We love these people and we put them on a
pedestal and then they tarnish their entire image and then
it's hard to enjoy their art afterwards, especially when they're
crazy monsters, you know.

Speaker 7 (16:51):
And I hate that.

Speaker 5 (16:52):
Also that's selfish for me to say, but I hate that, uh,
Pat and Taco Bob. I believe that everybody listening to
this podcast today will not get offended by anything we say.
I think that's an impossibility if they know you guys,
they know Taco dude.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
This is where I jump in and I use this
as an example every single time. We like to think that,
but all it takes is one person who happens upon it,
and I always use the example. Let me make this
sound effects.

Speaker 7 (17:25):
Dear program director.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
I don't usually listen to your radio station, but this
morning I heard and then, you know, your question about
something that you normally would do, you know, five days
of the week without even hesitating, And now you're going,
oh my god, is this not okay now because one
person's pissed off?

Speaker 5 (17:46):
You know, it's funny because that happened to us. Is
kind of why we left radio that again with but
because of the you know, we did a podcast and
the cursing, the business didn't like it or whatever. But
I don't know if that so much exists in this
uh current you know climate now where someone just happens
upon some content and they're like, oh, because there's just

(18:08):
so much that. I don't think you would just randomly
find a podcast and listen to it didn't get offended
by it, because I just because I just.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
Don't fall into a glory hole.

Speaker 5 (18:22):
I think you could search you know that you know
what you could see on the internet. It's real bad there.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
I mean, if you type that end, you could see everything.

Speaker 5 (18:32):
I mean, that's what I scares the hell of about
my sons. I'm like, you know, right connected to our
house is a portal to the worst everything, horrible images,
and you know, the things that you could possibly imagine.
And I think everybody's cognizant of that now and then
therefore I don't think get as offended or as like
appolled by content on regular shows that it's not, especially

(18:56):
with jokes and stuff I was.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
I was really referring to the on air side of things,
the podcast air. That's why the podcast exists. Among the reasons,
you just so you can do more.

Speaker 7 (19:09):
Of We're on a music station.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
We're not a talk show, but we would love to
be able to talk more and we do, you know,
take this off, but that's not what the company wants.
They want us to play X number of songs an
hour and do your little whatever it is you do.

Speaker 4 (19:26):
And you know, and then when that one lady that
right he's talking about here's a pearl, jam Sung goes, oh.

Speaker 7 (19:32):
I love Jeremy, and then here we come.

Speaker 4 (19:33):
And then here comes the bowling ball letter and I
was so offensive. Not on our podcast. Like you said,
people that are listening to this are like minded.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
Part have you guys?

Speaker 3 (19:46):
Are they using AI in any way with you guys
for like, uh to figure out the algorithm for new
songs that are breaking in rock radio or anything.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
I don't know what the mindset is, what they figure
for music, which is what whatever you guys want.

Speaker 7 (20:02):
Us to do, what will we take it?

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Do they still pick it by hand? As music still selected?

Speaker 3 (20:07):
That's a great question because I've always thought that that
was always my dream job.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
And I've always wanted to tell you that like picking
the music, you know that like that, I wasn't. I
didn't want to be a talk guy. I wanted to
be what you were doing. I wanted to pick songs
for rock and rolls.

Speaker 7 (20:22):
Well.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
I always thought that would be the coolest thing ever
because it was still human, you know, like there used.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
To be a thing called a music director, which I've
held that title man many many years, and I enjoyed
and there was a time when the music director actually
had some input, some input.

Speaker 3 (20:38):
It was yeah, it's always been some right. They couldn't
just go ham right. The whole thing music director isn't
really a word, not a thing anymore. No, No, that's
what I was worrying. I was I was afraid you
were going to say that.

Speaker 7 (20:49):
I just said, we're honest. I mean, I'm because it is.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
Something that I do, but I don't know, man, maybe
I kind of feel like sometimes that stuff will come back.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
I will tell you this, and this gives me hope.
I do some work for some of our other stations
with the company around around the country, and there are
a couple of stations and one in particular that I'm
on that they're They're group of songs that they play
are unlike any other station I've ever been stick out

(21:17):
a little bit. It's not that they stick out, you
know every single song, but you're not You're not used
to hearing them on a radio station. You've heard them
in certain settings, but assembled into a cohesive you know,
flow somebody it is and it's it's been done very well,
and I just have to want I'm like, why why

(21:39):
aren't we doing more of that?

Speaker 2 (21:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (21:40):
I know the algorithm's not there yet for music, even
on all that I subscribe to every service, whether it
be Title, Apple Music, Spotify, I listen to the radio,
I listen.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
To I love music.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
But the algorithm for like like what a DJ does
in like still on like I believe.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
We believe Taco and I believe it's owned by the
Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Speaker 7 (22:00):
And Park has a good and green day as well.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
Yeah, but seriously, it's like, I like, I can't. I
don't think you can duplicate it. Not to geek out
on radio for a second, but like a station like
on Sirius, a station like Willie's Roadhouse still has all
these old DJs that are like in the sixties, and
when they pick music, when they do a show, the
show is blanking amazing because everything has its place, everything

(22:26):
is like it tells a story.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
It's all hand selected.

Speaker 3 (22:29):
It's I mean, it just gives me hope too, because
I'm like, well, that'll come back, because what that is
is that's human Like, that's an.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
Art form, you know, being able to select those songs
or tell the story with a series of songs.

Speaker 4 (22:41):
What we need to have come back is where you is,
where the record label comes in and takes you out
to dinner down, get to do that path and you
do cocaine in.

Speaker 12 (22:52):
The dude, I tell you, there's some truth to what
he just went tons.

Speaker 7 (23:03):
But our bass.

Speaker 3 (23:05):
I had a light bulb go off one time when
I was going through my mom's record collection. I think
of like the story, I'm going through her record collection
and I find this one record that has all of
these like top forty hits, like the Peppermint Twist and
you know, obviously like old old oldies type stuff, but
they're all like number one singles. And then I flip
over the record and the record was put out by

(23:27):
a radio station and on the back of the record
there were like ten different DJs, and the DJs were
all like looking cool and everything.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
And you could just tell.

Speaker 3 (23:36):
You could just tell that it was like, these DJs
are on the back of this record selling the record
to propa.

Speaker 7 (23:43):
It was it looks so, yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
It looks so it's like holding Paola in your hand. Yeah.
So I kept the record. I'll bring it in one
day and show it you. It's crazy because you could
see how.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
The record company and the radio station how it was
like almost made to intermingle.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
It was like, you know, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
I've witnessed I've been doing this long enough to witness.

Speaker 7 (24:06):
Some really really shady ship.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
I mean, uh.

Speaker 4 (24:13):
I remember some shady Yeah, I mean I've done it
a long time too. But remember when we do that
whatever that night was, and we just eat subs and
drink beer, and oh god, somebody would play music, not us.
That the record label is just sending in and paying for.

Speaker 7 (24:34):
That's awesome.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
I think it was technically legal what was going on,
because it was disclosed that each of these songs you
were hearing was sponsored by whatever label, and it was.

Speaker 7 (24:48):
Just because long did it.

Speaker 4 (24:50):
Yeah, felt wrong, But damn those subs from Santa Subs.
Remember that place they'd bring in They were just like
the spatas and they bring in subs that were.

Speaker 7 (24:58):
Just like eight pounds.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
Oh yeah, glory spinning rock and we're all gorging ourselves
greasy steaks.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
Yeah, yeah, I do miss it.

Speaker 5 (25:09):
I remember straight up doing pale uh, joking around about
it on the air with a Coast Coast of sunglasses,
like we're Coast and Sunglass. All of a sudden, the
sunglass send us a two hundred dollars pair of sunglasses.
I was like, oh my and then poor as hell,
I'm like, oh my god, a two hundred dollars pair
of sunglasses. And then I would joke around on the
show and be like, Coast, send us more sunglasses. We'll

(25:31):
continue these are awesome, and then will send us more,
and then we're just talking about us.

Speaker 7 (25:35):
I think in.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
All about twenty five pairs of and then nothing up of.
Nobody told us to knock it off. Nobody said that's paid.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
I know what you guys are talking about here right,
this is now, there's terms for this now, and I
l uh. It translates into sports where oh yeah, you're
getting paid to you know, promote this that or whatever
that's going on.

Speaker 7 (26:01):
And then it's just.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
Influencers period. That's all that is. They are being paid
to sell you shit. They're being paid to sell you ship.
That's straight up.

Speaker 4 (26:16):
But a lot of the influencers it's only product right
that we know of.

Speaker 7 (26:21):
You know, It's I.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
Get that that's important now, it's it's very important. We
are you know, get on and talk about companies that
we personally utilize and vo and advertise. But it's gone
to the point now where I'm like, how do people
even buy into this that you know, this person who's
slept in sixty different things is you know.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
I don't know if they do. I just know that
the corporation likes the number.

Speaker 3 (26:48):
So sometimes I think it's a cohesive, gross relationship where
you have a company that understands that that influencer doesn't.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
It's it's yeah, the whole thing is shameless.

Speaker 3 (26:59):
But it I think there's like, let's say you have
one billion people following you, right, all right, so let's
say let's say let's do better number. Let's say you
have forty million people on TikTok forty million followers. Well,
if you got like one million people to really do something,
then it doesn't matter if.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
They still are in that. So I think they almost
over buy it.

Speaker 3 (27:21):
It's overvalued because it's a it's a disgusting transaction.

Speaker 5 (27:24):
Also it's interesting too, and we've uh like done business
with the different influencers and stuff and like, uh we've
analyzed what that market is and how valuable it is.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
We lost some microphones from but it's all over.

Speaker 5 (27:40):
The place, and every influencer usually I mean some have
are like involved into like a marketing agencies and stuff
like that, but for the most part, they're all representing
themselves or maybe have a guy or a person, but
it's all different. They all charge different. There's no standardization,

(28:00):
you know what I'm saying. Like with the radio station,
you go to the sales you know, there's a couple
of radio stations in town, they all have a sales force.
You go there, there's a you know, there's a standard
pricing set, you know, for how much a thirty second
spot cost. When the influencer world, it is insane all
over it. In fact, some influencers will do free stuff
just for product, like back in the day. You know,

(28:21):
they they'll just send them and they'll talk about it.
And some influencers charge, you know, they have a rates
and stuff. Some have nothing contract, just doing whatever they want.
And so it is, it is bizarre how all over
the place it is. And they're all different, and they
all have a you know, and and some make and
if they turn a business into it, I mean they
are banking insane off of it.

Speaker 7 (28:44):
We know.

Speaker 5 (28:45):
Uh, this guy locally named Matt Mormon, and it's one
of the.

Speaker 3 (28:49):
More normal you yeah YouTuber. He's in the high end
garage and car space. So think like your high end
Porsche is your high end like the garage is. It
costs you know, fifty sixty thousand dollars with the amazing
cabinetree and the amazing sound systems and all of that.

Speaker 5 (29:06):
And his channel is just is called Obsessed Garage and
basically just has he just details his cars and then
talks about all the products that he uses. To detail
his car, right, and then he sells those products personalized,
like he presses all.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
The sub but he's category specific. That's what he does.

Speaker 5 (29:24):
Yeah, and that little and he's a maazing.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
He two folded too.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
He took his car obsession, his garage obsession, and he
sprinkled his He's obsessive. He's a compulsive disorder and so
he just said, hey, let's lean into it. And he
kind of walks through through the fact that he has
anxiety and he's like OCD and something like that.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
He walks you through that. With his company, it's it's like,
it's really cool.

Speaker 5 (29:46):
It's very specific. Niche market that like something that I'd
never watched because I'm not in on my trucks. I
have a bunch of garbage in the back of my trug, right,
they have to.

Speaker 7 (29:55):
Take that, damn.

Speaker 8 (29:56):
Anyway he does that, he is killing He is pulling
seven figures a year, insanely successful, opening up a factory
in Australia and Europe.

Speaker 3 (30:08):
And then it's just all he has destinations you can
go to as a listener. You can go to like
his houses and rent them and drive his cars.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
It's crazy.

Speaker 5 (30:15):
Now on the opposite side, of that. We know TikTok
influencers stuff that have the hundreds of thousands of followers
are making nothing half a million, literally nothing. They're not
able to make a living off of it. And it's
crazy do they not know how to monetize it? Because
their audience is like it depends on your content does

(30:35):
so with Obsessed Garage, you have a very like minded,
specific demographic that listens to you. So you're able to
market your products to that demographic, which is valuable if
you just do a comedy channel or whatever, and then
you have a million followers and you're just doing like
a little bit skip bits and stuff and like.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
You're dressing up like your grandma with a wig on
and stuff like that. I mean, you get five hundred
thousand people following.

Speaker 7 (30:57):
You are not going to make any money off maybe.

Speaker 5 (31:00):
Because the outfits you cannot Your demographics not very specific
enough target so you could target specific products to them,
so you'll do a little bit advertising. It doesn't work
that well. Plus your audience isn't engaged. They're just scrolling
past you. So you have the views, but they don't
care about you. All they care about is like a
little fifteen second bit and they move on. It's like,

(31:22):
it's kind of like why you guys are so valuable
in this market because you've been doing.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
Thirty years in Orlando, so people know who you are.

Speaker 5 (31:30):
People have listened to your talk for thirty years. So
like you have developed long term, super valuable relationships with
the audience here in Central Florida, and and so you
can talk directly to them.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
They've known you for thirty years. That's valuable.

Speaker 4 (31:45):
I think the exact same with you guys. When we
were talking about clients that we endorse and clients that
you endorse, you guys don't endorse shit that you don't
believe in.

Speaker 3 (31:54):
Yeahah, just all we use said.

Speaker 5 (32:02):
Anything.

Speaker 3 (32:02):
I want that blue Choo Manoo, and I've been trying
to get the blue choo. So I've been using the
news junkies code. It's news junky code, it's t and
J check. I'll get you a little money off.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Taco's personal crusade.

Speaker 3 (32:18):
And you just bit the corner of it, and it's
like I got gow.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
He he has used dude wipes since before anybody knew
what dude wipes were, and he talks about it all
the time.

Speaker 3 (32:29):
I talked about it yeah, well, I use preparation age
medicated a little more going.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
That's what he had originally, and then East I had.

Speaker 4 (32:37):
The prep wipes, just the wipes. He's talking about the fluid.

Speaker 3 (32:41):
We're like, no, no, I have the it's in a
yellow container. It's preparation age medicated with a witch hazel.

Speaker 7 (32:48):
Right. But but apparently some of them.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
Carry changed that, so that that's his, that's his personal crusade.
I have one too. That's now going on how many
years that I've I've openly professed my love for Arby's.
Oh did Arby's is the best.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
As far as fast food goes. It's it's choice.

Speaker 7 (33:10):
I've always said that, and I will. I will debate.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
I will debate anybody to the to the Mac you
can Doby's, No one needs one, have you ever?

Speaker 7 (33:19):
Right there? Phenomenal?

Speaker 2 (33:20):
You know what else? They used to rock? I don't
know if they still have it, but me and my
wife loved it.

Speaker 3 (33:24):
They The best French fry, in my humble opinion, is
a crinkle fry.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
I love their curlyies, but I'm a crinkle fry.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
Guy, which they have introduced crinkled fries, and I've.

Speaker 4 (33:36):
Uh crank McDonald's fries in that style.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
Okay, all right, our guest this morning, you've been Tom
and Dan. Before we wrap this up, you guys promote
yourselves here for anybody who might just be hearing you
for the first time, because I can guarantee you there's
more than a few people who are gonna stumble upon this, and.

Speaker 3 (33:53):
Well, we'd appreciate it if they check out our show.
I mean where yeah, you're healthy dirty sometimes if you
just search.

Speaker 5 (33:58):
Tom and Dan. We've got a free app you can
get and has all our content on demand, also tomma
dan dot com. We also have two big events coming up.
Free Beer Fest completely free is like every other beer
f the last year we do it too, because it is.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
It's a tremendous business model on that there.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
Well that's why it might be the last year.

Speaker 5 (34:18):
It's I mean, we don't make any money off the obviously,
but our sponsors help pay for We do it for promotion.
But it's uh, to our knowledge, only free beer Fest
going on because.

Speaker 7 (34:30):
Yeah, yes, brilliant.

Speaker 5 (34:31):
Well, I mean it's only brilliant until this is the
last year, but that's November twenty third, and then we
got the Sanford Sofa races the very next day. That's
downtown Sanford.

Speaker 4 (34:38):
So that's where the genius part comes in. You don't
do the beer festival where everybody's walking around getting buzzed
out and then go all right, come back tomorrow for
the sofa fest.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
But it works.

Speaker 4 (34:51):
It works.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
I mean it's hard for us. I'll be honest with you, guys.
It's hard. That's a hard day or two days.

Speaker 5 (34:58):
Well, yeah, you're organizing it. But is like most beer
fest costs seventy bucks to get in and then some
thirty bucks for a designated drivers. Like you're paying one
hundred bucks for you and your sober wife to walk
around until we do for.

Speaker 3 (35:10):
All the same stuff that you would have at an
overpriced beeer fest. Like we have the great bands, we have,
the great breweries, we have I would argue we have
the best venue because there in Sanford, it's phenomenal.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
Yeah, the food trucks are all there. Yeah, it's it's
a it's a really good time.

Speaker 3 (35:24):
Man.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
All you need is a photo ID to get in,
and you got to be twenty one and up.

Speaker 4 (35:27):
Last time, there were thousands of people. Again, what's the
data on that?

Speaker 5 (35:31):
November November twenty third and twenty fourth is the weekend
before Thanksgiving we've been doing. I think this is the
ten tenth year we've been doing the free show.

Speaker 7 (35:39):
Thanksgiving is really late this year, huh yeah, yeah, yeah, dude.

Speaker 5 (35:42):
The Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend is December first, which threw
me off because I like, what the hell, you know,
why is it so late? But I guess you know,
it's just the last Thursday of the month that happened
to be uh, really late this year.

Speaker 4 (35:55):
That's just pissed because he has to wait for this stuff.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Yah, yeah, thanks too late.

Speaker 4 (36:00):
I love stuffing.

Speaker 1 (36:01):
I've I've now made it habit of having a box
at the very least of stovetop on hand.

Speaker 7 (36:08):
At all times.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
I mean, not necessarily for turkeys and whatever.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
The whole thing of it. Just make it.

Speaker 7 (36:18):
Nothing wrong with that.

Speaker 2 (36:20):
It's the best car. Thanks for having a Sean.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
Yeah, so yeah, check out their show if you haven't,
And we appreciate you guys swinging by. I guess we're
gonna do a little something with you guys afterwards.

Speaker 6 (36:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (36:36):
I am for our show, and uh it's I like
doing it in a traditional radio studio professional.

Speaker 3 (36:44):
Normally we do this in the back of my car.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
All right, everybody, Thank you for checking out The Lynching
