Speaker 1 (03:04):
Little bit more expense, deliver it and shit.

Speaker 5 (03:05):
But the ones I went to, you just dropped it
off there. It was like the other laundromats and then
they had like some people will do it for you.
There it was like, you know, a bucker buck and
a half of it's worth it.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
I don't want to be every day washing fold. Oh
if I had a washing machine.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
This is actually my first place since probably my first
full time job, that I haven't had a washing machine
in my home, and I miss it so much.

Speaker 5 (03:28):
Well, you were living in the outskirts of the city
and you had to get back in and.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
That was yeah Melrose, no offense. I'm from Malden. Oh,
same thing. Yeah, yeah, I was in Melrose.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
It was just like, yeah, the place was nice, but
it was so dystopian like it was like.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Just an apartment.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
But did you pay there? Though twenty it was not.
It was not far off from what I pay now.
It's like twenty seven hundred or twenty six.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
But you like being in the middle of the city.
Can you share McKay with the the people? How many
shows you went to last year out of three hundred
and sixty five.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
I think it was like one fifty. That's crazy fair.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
He did do a few nights sometimes.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
Yeah, I did do a couple just because, like, look
at working in this industry, you get access to it,
you get way more.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Actually that reminds me, can you hear me get Kids
Bop tickets?

Speaker 1 (04:20):
I think you should ask you, you should ask our.

Speaker 5 (04:23):
Our My brother asked, my nieces are going to be
the leader pavilion.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
She's hiding this, She's just a kids pop have a
kid freak? How are they doing the fat, juicy and
wet cover on Kids Bop? Large, juicy and damp? So, actually,
can you speak on this?

Speaker 3 (04:41):
I was talking to our boss, the Big Boss, about
that song, and he was like, they tried to submit
this is the Bruno Mars Sex Regretta. They tried to
submit the radio version and it was still too dirty.

Speaker 4 (04:52):
Is that I'm not exaggerating. I think they did four
revisions to the radio edit before is playing it.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
I'm assuming are they? I don't know. I don't think
it's worth playing.

Speaker 4 (05:01):
There's a lot of these songs where like bad language
or like explicit content is like really core to the song.
So if you take it out it's like not, it
doesn't make any right, like like that's a great example
of it, because the entire song is disgusting.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
They talk about a and excuse my language, if there
are children listening, I'm sure there's not a cum mustache.
That's one of the lyrics in the song.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
What does that mean? Yeah, I'm not going to go
into that, but you know you're.

Speaker 5 (05:27):
Gonna give it to Bruno though. That man can make
anything a masterpiece.

Speaker 4 (05:30):
Oh, that song is so good, Like, don't get anyone wrong,
it's amazing. If it wasn't literal like worse than porn.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
No, but that's that's the beauty of him.

Speaker 5 (05:40):
He went from die with a smile to apt to
that juicy and went in four or five months versatile.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
That's true.

Speaker 5 (05:47):
Yeah, he's such a genius and he rocks it either way.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
You think he's hot in a weird way, in a
weird way, and.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
He's a tiny little guy.

Speaker 5 (05:56):
And if you're an old school bru Monistan like me.
He has a song called Gorilla from like fifteen year
years ago, which is super sexual.

Speaker 4 (06:03):

did like, yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
That's a sexual song. I didn't even know that. Oh yeah,

With her.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
It wasn't Lou. It might have been Lou.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
Actually, it might have been him, but they said that
a lot of the reasons he doesn't do a lot
of interviews it is because he's so small.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Oh yeah, you don't want to people. He's just a
little bit.

Speaker 5 (06:49):
No, he just but when you see him on stage,
all his guys behind her were much taller than him.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
They opened MGM Music Hall. You went to that, didn't you?

Speaker 4 (06:57):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (06:57):
And I guess some people.

Speaker 4 (06:58):
Were backstage with him, but nobody had their phone?

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Right? Is that why I got the show? Didn't they?
Take phones away at the show.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
I've went to four or five shows of him where
they take well, that's because.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
That's the music. No, it's because of the music. He
wants you to enjoy the music.

guy who was there, who watched him lose all that money.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
Song, Signora. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
But before you go, a couple of things. Well, one
important thing so mccave is, we don't know what he is.
He's the assistant program director of kids. He's yeah, he
oversees kiss. Went to wait all the everything, the music, everything, Yeah,
everything you need a kiss, He's the guy to go to.
But he's worked in the radio industry a long time.
He was a program director on different parts of the
country the radio.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Yeah that on.

Speaker 4 (10:19):
Linked interrupts me. See this is what it's like. Okay,
I'm building a really important note actually under thirty, Thank
you thirty. It was the thirty Superstars. Yeah, thirty. When
he also calls you the doogie howser of radio, calls
me a lot of other things.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
I stand by all.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
Yes, but you shared with me the other day a
story about Chapel Roane and about how you interviewed her
when she was very young, not Boston calling before that, right, No.

Speaker 4 (10:46):
It was no, it wasn't It wasn't even an interview.
We talked at her House of Blues show.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
Right. This was before she three blew. It was right
before the Olivia tour.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
Okay, it was when she was touring for the Midwest
Princess like when it like that was the tour for
the album, just as like a regular artist.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
But yeah, you know she was great then. It was. Yeah,
I think that was her last radio interview.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
Actually, oh she stopped after that.

Speaker 5 (11:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
I think she was just tired of it.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Did you do something to her? How was the interview bad?

Speaker 3 (11:18):
It was bad really, but the one at the House
of Blues you said that you talked to her about
you told her she was going to blow up, but
she didn't believe it.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
Basically, Yeah, I mean, yeah, if you want to somebody that,
it was.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Like the radio guy that you're gonna blow up.

Speaker 5 (11:30):
No.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
I loved her. She's she's awesome.

Speaker 4 (11:32):
I actually when I went to see her, I didn't
know who she was, like all that, well, gay people
love her, so I knew her name.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
But uh, the show was so fucking good.

Speaker 4 (11:44):
I was like, holy shit, Like when you like, when
you get in front of these people on this next tour,
it's over, like you're going to explode. And her and
the management were like, no, no, I don't, we don't
want that, and the label wants you to and they're like, ah,
the label.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
So it was funny.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
It was really fun and she did all the songs
that that we know, right was good Luck Baby, which.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
Is the heck can I can I can I say something?

Speaker 1 (12:10):
Maybe she seems and stuff. I don't know. I think
it depends on well you are.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
We're talking about the music, though, I just think like
she's a great hang.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
I just think she's a.

Speaker 5 (12:22):
Little too like, well is me for someone that's like
blowing up, like just enjoy it?

Speaker 1 (12:27):
Maybe I don't know, it's it.

Speaker 4 (12:29):
I can't fault someone for doing what they love and
then coming across a part of that you didn't. You
weren't really prepared for. Yeah, you know, and it just
so happens. She's so good at her art form that
it gets her in front of all these people. And
that's really I think the only way to make she does.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
She's navigating fame, and I mean, think look at history, right, Bieber,
he did a bunch of dumb stuff.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
Ariana licked the doughnut? Is that what it was? Don't
Ariana Grande? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Wow, I don't know the video about that because okay,
she was because.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
She was anti American, she was ahead. Yeah she did
something with licking the doughnut.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
I remember that a big deal. But like again, I
don't know exactly why it was so offensive.

Speaker 3 (13:09):
Yeah, these young young artists, you know, they the fame
comes and then they fucking do.

Speaker 4 (13:13):
Stupid ship, you know, or say stupid so but the
thing is, like, I love I love what she does.
I think she's been saying a lot of ship that
no one else wants to.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
But that the thing with the healthcare thing was really good.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
I love that.

Speaker 4 (13:25):
And the funny thing is that everyone in in my
world was like, oh, she's such a brat. It's like,
you know, like God forbid that these very rich people
provide for people who might make them even richer.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
Right, Yeah, I agree with her on the healthcare thing.
I definitely think that was fine.

Speaker 5 (13:41):
I just think a little bit about more towards the fans,
and she could be a little bit more gracious with
her fans.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
Sure you know, before you go, I'm gonna wrap this up.
Thank you for joining.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
Why did you come in here? I can't remember now. Yeah,
you just came in and sat down. I know you guys.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
I thought you guys were like done. Oh no, he
wanted to be in the audience for the after Ship,
but I wanted to ask you you.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
Saw my presets Now I finally out of it. That's right, baby.

Speaker 3 (14:04):
So you recently created a new team's kiss one Await
teams thing we forgot about that.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
So basically it's it's a place where if we have
any questions the staff about anything going on in Kiss, programming, marketing, whatever.
Instead of sending emails, we can just go on teams.
It's like a group chat. Are you in it for Kiss?

Speaker 4 (14:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (14:18):
You added us.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
But I have a very important question that I meant
to ask. Is that when I go on that on
my phone? Right, so tech support on the podcast. This
is a very important question I need to know. So
when I have like, I go on teams and I
go to the group thing, is that where I go
to complain about Winnie. That's what I need to know,
is that where I go to like my air my grievances.

I think you should do that.

Speaker 4 (14:41):
Okay, good, See what happens next time a group with
literally anyone associated with Kiss one owight.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
Yes, so it's a perfect place to call people out.

Speaker 3 (14:48):

How's that, Winny? No, but yes, many times I'm the
only one who responds in this group. I don't get.

Speaker 5 (15:00):
Notifications and I only won that was in it, and
I didn't get that there was more.
