Speaker 2 (01:08):
A birthday, Gina, thank you? How old are you today?
Speaker 5 (01:13):
You know it's funny every year, No, no, no, every year.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I have to like calculate.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
But I think I am forty seven. You think, yeah,
I was one of seventy eight.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Okay, so you check out that is correct.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I think I thought we're gonna get I thought we're
gonna get some like kind of like tap dance.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
No, no, she wasn't really going to say how she want.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
I don't care forty seven anything.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I don't know if i'd be able to that'd be
too that'd be too tight of a wager. What if
somebody said, all right, do you think that Gina Grad
cares about her age.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
She shares a lot of stuff she is.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
I would have bet that you don't reveal it because
I thought that originally said that, or she come up with.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Like how Greg says, well, I'm twenty nine.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
Yeah, I do think I know for a fact that
I don't know about dudes.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
But as a woman, you I know I have been
up for jobs they didn't get because of my age.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
Yes, I've been told what kind of job? Radio jobs,
radio jobs. I've been told my face three times TV
you're trying to work at the Tate McCrae station. One
TV job to radio jobs. But you know what, I'm
happy to be here. I can say who I am, TV.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
Say my age?
Speaker 7 (02:19):
TV?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I understand, and I had.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
To go older. I'm like, damn, you look good for.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Fo what kind of TV?
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Because they have because TV is more of like a
like a visual casting thing.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
But that's the thing.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
It doesn't They like me, They like all this stuff,
but they didn't like my age. They like my look,
they like my personality. So I'm like, well, what do
you care?
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Then?
Speaker 8 (02:39):
Why mentioned the age exactly?
Speaker 6 (02:43):
But again, like being here, I think that like I
just feel more free to business.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
It is, well, yeah, you can do whatever you want
here and then look at us, right, you're probably I
could definitely get this job, no problem. Yeah, because you
know TV, mean, I guess even radio to a certain extent,
because every station has like their target demographic and the
people that is. So if you have a bunch of
people who are thirty years outside of the target demo
(03:08):
or and that's that's that's more an extreme thing, but
that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
They liked me until they found out my age.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
But I mean, here we are to throw back Thursday
and back in the day like nine o two one
oh all those people were playing teenagers and they were
like although people back then looked way older, there was
that that Instagram thing that keeps going around, like here's
what high school seniors looked like in you know, nineteen
eighty five and then nineteen ninety five. Look at the
(03:36):
sixties they look like correct, And now I think the
style and the facial hair like that seventies mustache kind
of thing.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
And then every woman in a photo from like the
forties fifties they all look like movie stars.
Speaker 4 (03:50):

Speaker 3 (04:13):
As we've had, as we've always as we've been saying,
why wait until they're dead? Why you get somebody who
dies and all of a sudden, that's when everybody has
nice things to say about the person.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
How you compliment me in every household?

Some of the news headlines, we'll have the birthdays, the
porn of birthday, all that caught up here this morning
on The Woody Show.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
For a Throwback Thursday.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
How about this thing where people are asked what outdated
slang words or terms do you still use on a
regular basis, And looking at the list, these are the
ones that made the list that people in this room,
including myself, are very guilty of. We say word a lot,
like oh word, like you're so oh that's hey. Uh
you know what time is? What three thirty word? Yeah,
(05:07):
sick dude, that's sick.
Speaker 2 (05:08):

Speaker 1 (05:13):
I'm not sorry about it.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
You know.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
You still hear it a lot. And I don't even
think like even my my kids will use it.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
They will or will not.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
They will. No, I'm not a big hella personally. Yeah, yeah,
I don't mind it. I don't have tight made it
by someone to say because toat's Greg another Greg Louise
the bomb or saying it's bomb dot com.
Speaker 7 (05:39):
But I'll use that in terms of like.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Food and then and then noise no which again I
think between noise and tight noise I think and Gez Louise,
those are very over the top, sarcastic, tongue in cheek.
Others that made the list gnarly don't really hear that
much anymore. Oh snap stoked once in a while the
time like peace instead of goodbye, calling people cats. I
(06:03):
hate this. Kevin Smith does it. Yeah, I was talking
to those cats the other day that well, it's Rockabillity,
Home Slice, Smellulator, fetch.
Speaker 2 (06:17):

picked it up. I heard it, and then I'm I
don't I don't know. I just do you ever have
that though? Like you don't know where you pick something
up from?
Speaker 6 (06:36):
It must have been I say it all the time,
you do, Yeah, but I think I got it from
an episode of Kids in the Hall.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Oh yeah, it seems old time.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Oh that was a show on Canada and the nineties people.
Oh yeah, yeah. As we mentioned, people don't say fleek anymore.
We go busting. Is that still a thing?
Speaker 7 (06:58):
I'd never heard anybody talk about it.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Yeah, like, oh, that's really because my kids were using
that for a while.
Speaker 9 (07:03):
I thought the weirdest one for a second was wet. Dude,
that's so wet. You say fire, what are you talking about?
Speaker 7 (07:09):
No, but I thought it was weird that was being used.
Speaker 2 (07:12):

At least those. Yeah, I don't. I don't use I
don't use lit.
Speaker 3 (07:21):

wet and litten fire.

Speaker 5 (07:44):
So he doesn't have to start picking it up, but.
Speaker 10 (07:47):
P it up.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
It's like I think, if you, even if you don't
have the accent you moved to the South or you
moved like you will start picking up things. You'll start realizing,
not even really subconsciously picking up like a dialect or an.
Speaker 6 (07:58):

Speaker 2 (13:51):
House to the face, second day in.

I'm sure.

Speaker 7 (14:03):
But he'll have ten bites of it.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Yeah, eight seven seven forty four warning sent us a
text over to two two nine eighty seven.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
We got some of the trending news headlines.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
Well, remember that little prank on Shudor Sanders we had update.
The NFL fined the Falcons two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars and their defensive coordinator, Jeff Ulbrick one hundred thousand
dollars for that prank phone call on him during the draft.
So it's unclear if Jeff will be passing any of
this responsibility on.
Speaker 7 (14:31):
To his son.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
I would, Yeah, you just cost me one hundred grand.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
One hundred grand twenty one year old Jacks who made
the call, But I would it was premeditated.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
I think it's hilarious. Yeah, I mean I love the call.
I thought it was really funny.
Speaker 7 (14:44):
Yeah, absolute to pay it.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
If I'm getting fined one hundred thousand dollars for it,
you bet your ass. Yeah, that's on.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
You keep it.
Speaker 6 (14:50):
All that birth cars a you're gonna have to wash
and well, Jack saw the number on his dad's phone
on the iPad while visiting his parents house. He wrote
it down to do the p later on, so it's
definitely premeditated. The Falcons, Obrik, and his son have all apologized,
and the NFL says they're aware of other prank calls
by the way. For example, Abdul Carter, who went third overall,
(15:11):
he said he received one too, hashtag just pranking wow.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Yep.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
The thirty four year old Palestinian student at Columbia University
was just released from ice custody. That's Mossan Madawi after
a judge stepped in and said there was no reason
to keep him locked up. Madawi is a legal US resident.
He'd been detained since mid April after what he thought
was a normal citizenship interview, but it turned into an arrest.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Oh is this the guy from Columbia student? Indeed, I
don't recognize the names.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
The government claimed he was a threat because of his
role in pro Palestinian campus protests, but the judge disagrees.
As soon as he got out, he called out the
Trump administration. He led chance supporting Palestinian rights and free speech,
and he's now free to return to.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
Columbia continue doing what he's doing.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
Scary See last night during the Pittsburgh Pirates game against
the Chicago Cubs. This guy fell twenty one feet from
the right field bleachers at PNC Park. It happened just
after Andrew mclutchen hit an RBI double. Medical teams cops
rushed over to help the guy's The fans face was
all bloody. Oh that's audio from He was put on
(16:26):
a stretcher taken in the hospital. There was even a
fan who jumped onto the field to help him, but
we don't know if he knew the guy or how
the guy fell. The game was delayed about ten minutes
while the player took The players all took a moment
to kneel and pray, But this dude dropped like a
rag doll or videos crazy that either yeah, some medical
something or way too many beers. The US and Ukraine
(16:47):
just signed a huge deal giving the US access to
Ukraine's valuable resources, you know, like rare earth, minerals.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
Oil gas.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
It's part of a bigger plan to boost Ukraine's economy
and attract big global investors as the country trying to
rebuild during this war with Russia. Officials have also made
it clear that companies that support Russia won't profit from Ukraine.
It still needs approval from Ukraine's parliament before it's official,
but it's definitely headed in that direction.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Doesn't it also give them some level of protection because
the US has a financial interest, Yes, oh for sure,
so they'll they'll work to protect their interest. Yeah, and
so it's not ANATO, it's a it's a way for
them to get some type of security.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
Yeah, and like you said before, also kind of recouping
expenses since there's been a lot sent Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
That much like the Falcons coach and the Sun exactly,
we can make a mineral deal.
Speaker 6 (17:41):
Eleven students who are mostly varsity lacrosse players at Syracuse
High School turned themselves in after a hazing incident that
went way too far. Apparently, they tricked the younger teammates
into a fake outing and then stage a kidnapping with
masks and fake weapons, even locked one student in the trunk.
The whole thing was caught on video too, because you know,
you gotta did it even happen?
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Exactly right?
Speaker 6 (18:05):
The local DA called it hazing on steroids and gave
them forty eight hours to surrender or face felony charges.
School has since shut down the rest of the lacrosse
season to deal with what it calls this toxic team culture.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Here's the thing. Stop being pussies. Maybe like, uh, maybe
the big maybe the big team is not for you. You
should play some inner murals, you know what I mean. Yeah,
otherwise it's like otherwise, Craig, it's like sack up.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
You know.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Yeah, yeah, that's called sarcasm, fellas.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
In case anybody's wondering and started drafting your Crossroads email, right,
what actually happened?
Speaker 8 (18:37):
They kidnapped them, I mean, and then it went like, oh,
but just kidding, but no, they actually did kidnap.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
I'm sure there was a lot of cant real kidnapping. Yeah,
well it was because they did take them.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Yeah, yeah, but you're not really being kidnapped.
Speaker 6 (18:50):
But even but if you hold up like a convenience
store with a fake weapon, you're still getting charged.
Speaker 8 (18:54):
But this is because they weren't giving the kids back
like the I thought. The authorities ended up having to
be like you have to like basically bring them back
within twenty four hours or you will get charged with kidnapped.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Like there's a video I saw recently over the last
six months or so where this guy pulled up behind
this truck and then these guys with masks and crowbars
all jumped out, surrounded the car, pulled the husband or
boyfriend or whatever out of the car, and had him
on the ground. Look, they were beating the cras the
woman's freaking out, scream and scream and screaming. And then
(19:27):
all of a sudden, the guy gets up from the
pile and he has an engagement ring.
Speaker 10 (19:32):
Oh no, terror, literally freaking I would say, no, absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
I know how creative happened. I said, the worst.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
Way you could ever be proposed to as a jumbo tron.
We have a new winner.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
That is disgusting. Yeah that it wasn't a real crime, so.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
Romantic.
Speaker 7 (19:55):
It sounds like nobody wants to have fun around here.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
That's true.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Here's here's a question. Okay, so they you know, they
picked them up or what now when you go to
join fraternity or in this case the lacrosse team. Just
throwing this out there, Yeah, I could be aren't you
somewhat like ause? You know, based on other things that
you've heard about, like there's gonna be some type of
(20:18):
this initiation or some type like you're you don't know
what to expect, but you're expecting something. So I would
think that if I was all of a sudden picked
up kidnapped in this particular case, I would be like,
is this part of the I'd be sitting there like
to the kidnapping. This part of the lass's fun, be
so excited to play with you guys.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
This is gonna be amazing.
Speaker 9 (20:38):
This is the mildest thing I've ever heard when it
comes to this stuff, but also blown up as such
a big deal.
Speaker 6 (20:43):
But this was high school, so like they're like, not
just no, maybe they're miners.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
They are minor. That's true too.
Speaker 9 (20:50):
I also had this happened to me in high school
with like a group of friends, but I got kidnapped,
and but I got taken to a pizza place.
Speaker 8 (20:58):
Well yeah, yeah, we would all get quote kidnapped, and
then they would, you know, make you dressing something crazy
and do your hair all wild and your makeup gross
and make you go to school like that. And your
friends would do that your birthday, yeah, because it wasn't
you know, to make you look bad and.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
The birthday, Oh my god, girl, that wing is f up.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
But you were out in public.
Speaker 8 (21:21):
I mean, it wasn't like they were actually hiding.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
You public with gross makeup.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
No, it was like it was like a toddler.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
Did you make up?
Speaker 9 (21:31):
It sounds like you went through more traumatic experience than
they did.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Don't me wrong, dude, I'm telling you those cheer girls
they're crazy.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
I mean, can you imagine if your makeup looked cross.
Speaker 5 (21:44):
Bank it wasn't a sheer thing.
Speaker 6 (21:49):
Well, this is a big deal, you guys. This is
economic big news. The penny might be finally going away.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Good.
Speaker 6 (21:57):
Yeah. A bipartisan group of lawmakers just in the Common
Sense Act, which would end penny production and round all
cash transactions to the nearest five cents. No change for
digital stuff like debit and Venmo and all that. The
pitch is that pennies are expensive. Af here's the deal.
(22:17):
It costs four cents to make a single penny, So
we're losing money leftards right. Us Mint lost eighty five
million dollars just cranking out pennies last year. These are
the coins most people leave in their cup holders.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Or of course, if your sea basket.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Just throw around, what a waste of time exactly, he agrees. Okay,
So okay, people, I get it. Let's get rid of
the penny.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
It makes sense.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Okay, sense it is getting But okay, so that makes
it bipartisan, right, Yeah, so everyone's on board. Why can't
we do the same thing with daylight saving time? Like
we keep talking about it. Everybody seems to be on board.
The majority of people in the country seem to be
on board with it. I mean, how long could that
(22:59):
take if it got brought up for debate? Yeah, like
talking about it for what? Yeah, let's let's spend one
single day on that. We spend all this time on
all these other things. And the uh, you know, pomp
and circumstance of people getting up there and speaking for
twenty four hours at a time just to make a point,
which okay, fine, I guess that's part of the process.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Cut, But like this is such a spot, like, look,
let's just knock this out.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (23:23):
And shouldn't we be highlighting bipartisan stuff right now where
everybody agrees.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Yeah, let's find some of these things that we can
all agree on, yes, knock those out.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Right.
Speaker 9 (23:32):
If it's something that somebody disagrees with, make a list
and then don't vote them back into office.
Speaker 6 (23:37):
There you go, And that's what's going on with all right.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Thank you. Birthday girl.

The nominees have been announced this morning for the Radio
Hall of Fame Class of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 7 (24:50):
How many categories did we get in?
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Well?
Speaker 3 (24:54):
I have something on that here in a second. So
the nominees again, listed alphabetically. Alice Cooper, who I know
has a radio show, but like I don't Radio Hall
of Fame.
Speaker 7 (25:03):
Yeah, want to show up.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Bert Weise who does a Top forty like pop show
out of Dallas.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
He's a nice guy. I like him.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Big D and Bubba, I've heard the name. I think
their country sounds country. Bob and Sherry. Uh, you got
the Colin Coward Okay, Yeah, I know him all right,
d L.
Speaker 9 (25:23):
Hughley Yeah, yeah, a while, Oh, I forgot it.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Find a while. I would say at least five years,
five years thirty.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Like, how long have you been in the industry anyway?
Dedey Maguire who's out of Dallas. Enrique Santos who works
for our company. He's out of Miami, Funk Master Flex
from Hot ninety seven in New York. He's been around
for a long time. Does guy John Garretbedian who Uh,
he's been in radio forever. That'd be a good one.
I'd vote for him.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
He ran the show called Open House Party back in
the nineties, was on stations across the country. In fact,
one of my first jobs when I got to run
the board, like all the controls in the studio. They
would have you know, part time guys like me, interns
or whatever run the board for these shows.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
That was like a.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Syndicated Saturday night show open house party. It was a
lot of fun. I like him, Oh, John and Kenet,
your your buddies. Yeah, okay, Let's see who else do
we know on here? Martha Quinn Oh wow, okay, but
she's more MTV and that kind of stuff. She's she
hasn't been doing radio all that long.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
I've always loved her though.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Our friend Mojo in the Morning out of Detroit, he
was nominated last year and then didn't get in. So
they were like, there's like eight people who were If
you were on the list last year and didn't make
it in, you automatically get on the list again this year.
And then there's someone Shelley the Playboy Stewart and a
couple and a couple other people.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
So here's here. Here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
I have to admit, I'm a little disappointed, and I
was feeling kind of sorry for myself today because I
was led down the path of believing because I got
calls from a number of people saying, Woodie, you're being
nominated this year now now, and I should have known
this is this is a shame on me moment because
(27:13):
as we all know, right, I mean, the guy who
runs our cluster radio stations here doesn't even know that
Gina works on the show. And we always talk about
you want to see what not a big deal looks
like like hanging around. So over the years I have
learned and I am okay with a lot of this
stuff because we don't play suck up. This has never
been a show to play suck up in the hallways alone,
(27:34):
to to our corporate overlords, to the industry in general.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
We don't do that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
And so that's we And so because of that, there's
a lot of other shows that will do stuff like that.
They're more concerned with the show and how they're perceived
in the hallways or industry than they are about their
own audience, right, And so I've come over the years
to accept all that because that's what I feel is
the right thing to do.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Works.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
So shame on me because it wasn't just one person.
Three different people told me, oh, dude, your names come up,
and I think this is the year you're going to
get nominated.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
This is my thirtieth year in the industry.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
I mean, I know, Dale Hugy has been doing for
five years. So on the surface, it made sense. I
host a nationally syndicated show. We've been crushing for eleven
years this current uh you know, whatever you iteration of
the show. I've gotten big ratings everywhere that I've worked.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
To this point, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
So I get it that that kind of thing made
sense to me. And then I'm like, huh, okay, well
maybe the tides turning and maybe maybe we are getting
some kind of industry acknowledgment. Yeah, I got Shador Shander Sander,
thank you.
Speaker 7 (28:47):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Someone for so shame on me, I believe anyway.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Anyway, So what so when when it came out, and
so like a couple of the two of the people
already hit me up this morning, going dude, I don't
know what happened, been dude, and so I'm like my
initial and my initial reaction seriously was like I was like, ah,
whatever I mean, because again right back to I don't
expect it. There's there are other hosts in this building.
(29:15):
If it's their birthday, like it's genus birthday. There, I'm
not we make it like it sound like a joke.
There would be a balloon arch down the hall, streamers
hanging from the ceiling.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Oh.
Speaker 9 (29:26):
Yeah, they would be catering after the.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Yes, sometimes for super random crap your anniversary of the
time you pooped.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Yeah, it's insane.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
It's insane.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
There's even a couple of people in this building that
have stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And when
you see like other celebrities that don't have those things,
You're like, Okay, I get it, but I mean you've
been around for me really, Okay, So anyway, point being,
my initial reaction was okay, whatever that tracks basically, but
then I felt a little bad for myself for like
(30:04):
the next hour or whatever.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
I was kind of bombed out.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
I was like, you know, we do work hard on
the show, and we I see some of the other
people who are in the D. L.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Hugley or the Alice.
Speaker 9 (30:12):
Cooper's, but they just want them to show up to
the ceremony because yeah, again it makes so much sense
that makes only had a radio show for two minutes,
and yeah, that makes them out the event.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
So again, shame on me.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
And then and this is why I'd be like, oh,
you're so cynical, You're so whatever. Yeah, I mean, because
this is egg on my face.
Speaker 9 (30:32):
Another theory, have another theory, because there is also another
Woody within the company, and just to just to throw like,
you know, behind the scenes. Like a month ago, I
got an email about like revenue when it comes to
our show, and I'm and they sent it to me,
and I was like, these numbers look way off And
I go.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Are you sure we're talking about the story? Are we
talking about the same Woody?
Speaker 7 (30:55):
And they're like yeah, yeah.
Speaker 9 (30:56):
I'm like, weight, go, there's no way this makes this
makes no sense.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
It was way lower than what we know it.
Speaker 9 (31:03):
Is because I know, like you know, the commercials that
I do and things like that. I like, this makes
that just menace alone. Yeah, and it brings in more
than what this other show does.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
And I was and by the way, it's not it's
not fair to compare apples up. He's in a much
smaller market. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (31:18):
And I was like, are you sure it's not blah
blah blah, And they oh, okay, yeah, I'm telling you Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
And I go and they're they're going around telling everybody
this is what we do.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
I'm like your number number.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
The other reason I'm bringing this up is because, uh,
and I truly do feel this way. I think about
this stuff on my own a couple of things. Number one, Greg,
I think you'll be happy to know I pulled myself
out of that in record time. Good, you know, because
I felt myself going down like a little bitch and
you for a while, and then I was like, wait,
(31:53):
you've been doing this for thirty years. We all have
great lives, we have a great job. And here's the
thing that I'm always very very humbled by. And I
know I say it a lot, and I think it's
empty lip service from a lot of people, but I
really want people who listen to the show to understand
after that, like the Disney takeover, the thing we do
with meeting all the you know, every time we're out
there and we meet listeners or whatever, and it's been
(32:14):
happening more and more, but just people in general, like
in the public, just coming up and go, oh, hey, man,
I listen to the show, Like that means way more
to me personally than any of this other stuff. And
it's why I've never really cared because I'm like, hey, man,
as long as the listeners are having a good time,
you have to worry.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
We're good. You know.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
The people who like the show, the people there is
always hated, like the Crossroads kind of stuff, whatever, who cares?
But the people who are just listeners to the show
and into it means so much to me because I
don't sometimes you know, you know how I feel like nobody,
nobody hates me more than me.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
That's that's, you know.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
And so I'm really hard on myself, and I'm hard
on you know, you know the show first of all,
hard on, hard on, uh, you know. But when you
get a chance to hear from people where people text in,
they say these nice things, or they have some personal
story about how much you know the show, you know,
mention them in this particular time, or help them in
this particular day, or just they enjoy listening like that
(33:16):
means a ton. And so I just want to thank
you guys. I don't as long as the paycheck clears,
I don't give a f what, you know, the mucky
muck kind of people think.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
And I got to remind myself of that because not
what you're doing.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
They'll still pay me, and they'll still pay us and
keep us employed. As long as these other people that
I'm talking about, the listeners are happy.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
So as long as John and can get in, what's that,
As long as can get in, we're all happy.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Yeah. And Mojo, Mojo is a really good guy. He deserves.
Who cares about Alice Cooper?
Speaker 1 (33:44):
But this whole deal thing, if he's been doing it
for five years, doesn't Isn't that counterintuitive to the term
hall of fame?
Speaker 9 (33:50):
It's radio, So I mean contract, I could be off
on that number on how long he's been doing it,
but I know it's not just like this is a
week or two.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
This is same industry.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
We'll call an all all hands on deck conference call
and spend three hours talking about how we're going to
give away a frozen turkey before Thanksgiving. That's true. What
name are we going to give this content? It's so dumb.
It's a dumb industry. It's a really stupid industry. But uh,
it's the only thing I've ever wanted to do. And
I'm very thankful to, you know, be able to do
it and make a living at it, and thankful for
(34:22):
you guys, so thank you. Yeah, just one of the
just one of the ship.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
We're lucky, all right. We're gonna take a quick break
more of what he shows next. Hang on, we'll be
back The Woody Show.
Dune to the graphic nature of this program.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Listener discretion?
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Is it lie?
Speaker 3 (00:17):
The Woody Show?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
This is the Woody Show.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Insensitivity Training.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Class is now in session.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
A good morning everybody today.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
It's Thursday. It's pre Friday.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
It's the first day of May, May the first, twenty
twenty five.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
My name is Woody. That is Greg Gorey.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
What menace is here?
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Hi is our social media or you can find this
You can follow us at the Woody Show. Gina Grad,
it's her birthday today.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
A birthday, Gina, thank you? How old are you today?
Speaker 5 (01:13):
You know it's funny every year, No, no, no, every year.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I have to like calculate.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
But I think I am forty seven. You think, yeah,
I was one of seventy eight.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Okay, so you check out that is correct.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I think I thought we're gonna get I thought we're
gonna get some like kind of like tap dance.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
No, no, she wasn't really going to say how she want.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
I don't care forty seven anything.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I don't know if i'd be able to that'd be
too that'd be too tight of a wager. What if
somebody said, all right, do you think that Gina Grad
cares about her age.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
She shares a lot of stuff she is.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
I would have bet that you don't reveal it because
I thought that originally said that, or she come up with.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Like how Greg says, well, I'm twenty nine.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
Yeah, I do think I know for a fact that
I don't know about dudes.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
But as a woman, you I know I have been
up for jobs they didn't get because of my age.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
Yes, I've been told what kind of job? Radio jobs,
radio jobs. I've been told my face three times TV
you're trying to work at the Tate McCrae station. One
TV job to radio jobs. But you know what, I'm
happy to be here. I can say who I am, TV.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
Say my age?
Speaker 7 (02:19):
TV?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I understand, and I had.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
To go older. I'm like, damn, you look good for.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Fo what kind of TV?
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Because they have because TV is more of like a
like a visual casting thing.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
But that's the thing.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
It doesn't They like me, They like all this stuff,
but they didn't like my age. They like my look,
they like my personality. So I'm like, well, what do
you care?
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Then?
Speaker 8 (02:39):
Why mentioned the age exactly?
Speaker 6 (02:43):
But again, like being here, I think that like I
just feel more free to business.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
It is, well, yeah, you can do whatever you want
here and then look at us, right, you're probably I
could definitely get this job, no problem. Yeah, because you
know TV, mean, I guess even radio to a certain extent,
because every station has like their target demographic and the
people that is. So if you have a bunch of
people who are thirty years outside of the target demo
(03:08):
or and that's that's that's more an extreme thing, but
that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
They liked me until they found out my age.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
But I mean, here we are to throw back Thursday
and back in the day like nine o two one
oh all those people were playing teenagers and they were
like although people back then looked way older, there was
that that Instagram thing that keeps going around, like here's
what high school seniors looked like in you know, nineteen
eighty five and then nineteen ninety five. Look at the
(03:36):
sixties they look like correct, And now I think the
style and the facial hair like that seventies mustache kind
of thing.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
And then every woman in a photo from like the
forties fifties they all look like movie stars.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yeah, anyway, Happy birthday, Jenigrad. There is sea bat We've
got Sammy, Bort and Menji are here in the Woode
Show production department. We got to our associate producer. Name's Morgan.
She's here today, von our video producer. Phones are open

us a text over to two to nine eight seven
today because it's her birthday.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Her birthday eulogies.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
As we've had, as we've always as we've been saying,
why wait until they're dead? Why you get somebody who
dies and all of a sudden, that's when everybody has
nice things to say about the person.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
How you compliment me in every household?
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Yeah, because people are here to hear it. You know,
why wait until they're dead. They can't Well, if you
believe certain things, I'm sure you. Oh no, they can
hear it.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Okay them, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Some of the news headlines, we'll have the birthdays, the
porn of birthday, all that caught up here this morning
on The Woody Show.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
For a Throwback Thursday.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
How about this thing where people are asked what outdated
slang words or terms do you still use on a
regular basis, And looking at the list, these are the
ones that made the list that people in this room,
including myself, are very guilty of. We say word a lot,
like oh word, like you're so oh that's hey. Uh
you know what time is? What three thirty word? Yeah,
(05:07):
sick dude, that's sick.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Dude's so sick Hella.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I'm not sorry about it.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
You know.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
You still hear it a lot. And I don't even
think like even my my kids will use it.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
They will or will not.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
They will. No, I'm not a big hella personally. Yeah, yeah,
I don't mind it. I don't have tight made it
by someone to say because toat's Greg another Greg Louise
the bomb or saying it's bomb dot com.
Speaker 7 (05:39):
But I'll use that in terms of like.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Food and then and then noise no which again I
think between noise and tight noise I think and Gez Louise,
those are very over the top, sarcastic, tongue in cheek.
Others that made the list gnarly don't really hear that
much anymore. Oh snap stoked once in a while the
time like peace instead of goodbye, calling people cats. I

picked it up. I heard it, and then I'm I
don't I don't know. I just do you ever have
that though? Like you don't know where you pick something
up from?
Speaker 6 (06:36):
It must have been I say it all the time,
you do, Yeah, but I think I got it from
an episode of Kids in the Hall.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Oh yeah, it seems old time.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Oh that was a show on Canada and the nineties people.
Oh yeah, yeah. As we mentioned, people don't say fleek anymore.
We go busting. Is that still a thing?
Speaker 7 (06:58):
I'd never heard anybody talk about it.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Yeah, like, oh, that's really because my kids were using
that for a while.
Speaker 9 (07:03):
I thought the weirdest one for a second was wet. Dude,
that's so wet. You say fire, what are you talking about?
Speaker 7 (07:09):
No, but I thought it was weird that was being used.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Oh fire, I don't mind fire.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Fire makes sense, he's so fire, Yeah, dude, lit.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
At least those. Yeah, I don't. I don't use I
don't use lit.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
But I'm like, dude, if it's something really good, like

wet and litten fire.

Speaker 5 (07:44):
So he doesn't have to start picking it up, but.
Speaker 10 (07:47):
P it up.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
It's like I think, if you, even if you don't
have the accent you moved to the South or you
moved like you will start picking up things. You'll start realizing,
not even really subconsciously picking up like a dialect or an.
Speaker 6 (07:58):

Speaker 2 (13:51):
House to the face, second day in.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
A row, in this moment, not in the studio to
defend yourself once the once the cakes have been in,
I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Oh he'll be in any moment, he'll complain.
Speaker 7 (14:03):
But he'll have ten bites of it.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Yeah, eight seven seven forty four warning sent us a
text over to two two nine eighty seven.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
We got some of the trending news headlines.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
Well, remember that little prank on Shudor Sanders we had update.
The NFL fined the Falcons two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars and their defensive coordinator, Jeff Ulbrick one hundred thousand
dollars for that prank phone call on him during the draft.
So it's unclear if Jeff will be passing any of
this responsibility on.
Speaker 7 (14:31):
To his son.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
I would, Yeah, you just cost me one hundred grand.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
One hundred grand twenty one year old Jacks who made
the call, But I would it was premeditated.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
I think it's hilarious. Yeah, I mean I love the call.
I thought it was really funny.
Speaker 7 (14:44):
Yeah, absolute to pay it.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
If I'm getting fined one hundred thousand dollars for it,
you bet your ass. Yeah, that's on.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
You keep it.
Speaker 6 (14:50):
All that birth cars a you're gonna have to wash
and well, Jack saw the number on his dad's phone
on the iPad while visiting his parents house. He wrote
it down to do the p later on, so it's
definitely premeditated. The Falcons, Obrik, and his son have all apologized,
and the NFL says they're aware of other prank calls
by the way. For example, Abdul Carter, who went third overall,
(15:11):
he said he received one too, hashtag just pranking wow.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Yep.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
The thirty four year old Palestinian student at Columbia University
was just released from ice custody. That's Mossan Madawi after
a judge stepped in and said there was no reason
to keep him locked up. Madawi is a legal US resident.
He'd been detained since mid April after what he thought
was a normal citizenship interview, but it turned into an arrest.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Oh is this the guy from Columbia student? Indeed, I
don't recognize the names.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
The government claimed he was a threat because of his
role in pro Palestinian campus protests, but the judge disagrees.
As soon as he got out, he called out the
Trump administration. He led chance supporting Palestinian rights and free speech,
and he's now free to return to.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
Columbia continue doing what he's doing.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
Scary See last night during the Pittsburgh Pirates game against
the Chicago Cubs. This guy fell twenty one feet from
the right field bleachers at PNC Park. It happened just
after Andrew mclutchen hit an RBI double. Medical teams cops
rushed over to help the guy's The fans face was
all bloody. Oh that's audio from He was put on
(16:26):
a stretcher taken in the hospital. There was even a
fan who jumped onto the field to help him, but
we don't know if he knew the guy or how
the guy fell. The game was delayed about ten minutes
while the player took The players all took a moment
to kneel and pray, But this dude dropped like a
rag doll or videos crazy that either yeah, some medical
something or way too many beers. The US and Ukraine
(16:47):
just signed a huge deal giving the US access to
Ukraine's valuable resources, you know, like rare earth, minerals.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
Oil gas.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
It's part of a bigger plan to boost Ukraine's economy
and attract big global investors as the country trying to
rebuild during this war with Russia. Officials have also made
it clear that companies that support Russia won't profit from Ukraine.
It still needs approval from Ukraine's parliament before it's official,
but it's definitely headed in that direction.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Doesn't it also give them some level of protection because
the US has a financial interest, Yes, oh for sure,
so they'll they'll work to protect their interest. Yeah, and
so it's not ANATO, it's a it's a way for
them to get some type of security.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
Yeah, and like you said before, also kind of recouping
expenses since there's been a lot sent Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
That much like the Falcons coach and the Sun exactly,
we can make a mineral deal.
Speaker 6 (17:41):
Eleven students who are mostly varsity lacrosse players at Syracuse
High School turned themselves in after a hazing incident that
went way too far. Apparently, they tricked the younger teammates
into a fake outing and then stage a kidnapping with
masks and fake weapons, even locked one student in the trunk.
The whole thing was caught on video too, because you know,
you gotta did it even happen?
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Exactly right?
Speaker 6 (18:05):
The local DA called it hazing on steroids and gave
them forty eight hours to surrender or face felony charges.
School has since shut down the rest of the lacrosse
season to deal with what it calls this toxic team culture.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Here's the thing. Stop being pussies. Maybe like, uh, maybe
the big maybe the big team is not for you. You
should play some inner murals, you know what I mean. Yeah,
otherwise it's like otherwise, Craig, it's like sack up.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
You know.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Yeah, yeah, that's called sarcasm, fellas.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
In case anybody's wondering and started drafting your Crossroads email, right,
what actually happened?
Speaker 8 (18:37):
They kidnapped them, I mean, and then it went like, oh,
but just kidding, but no, they actually did kidnap.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
I'm sure there was a lot of cant real kidnapping. Yeah,
well it was because they did take them.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Yeah, yeah, but you're not really being kidnapped.
Speaker 6 (18:50):
But even but if you hold up like a convenience
store with a fake weapon, you're still getting charged.
Speaker 8 (18:54):
But this is because they weren't giving the kids back
like the I thought. The authorities ended up having to
be like you have to like basically bring them back
within twenty four hours or you will get charged with kidnapped.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Like there's a video I saw recently over the last
six months or so where this guy pulled up behind
this truck and then these guys with masks and crowbars
all jumped out, surrounded the car, pulled the husband or
boyfriend or whatever out of the car, and had him
on the ground. Look, they were beating the cras the
woman's freaking out, scream and scream and screaming. And then
(19:27):
all of a sudden, the guy gets up from the
pile and he has an engagement ring.
Speaker 10 (19:32):
Oh no, terror, literally freaking I would say, no, absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
I know how creative happened. I said, the worst.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
Way you could ever be proposed to as a jumbo tron.
We have a new winner.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
That is disgusting. Yeah that it wasn't a real crime, so.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
Romantic.
Speaker 7 (19:55):
It sounds like nobody wants to have fun around here.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
That's true.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Here's here's a question. Okay, so they you know, they
picked them up or what now when you go to
join fraternity or in this case the lacrosse team. Just
throwing this out there, Yeah, I could be aren't you
somewhat like ause? You know, based on other things that
you've heard about, like there's gonna be some type of
(20:18):
this initiation or some type like you're you don't know
what to expect, but you're expecting something. So I would
think that if I was all of a sudden picked
up kidnapped in this particular case, I would be like,
is this part of the I'd be sitting there like
to the kidnapping. This part of the lass's fun, be
so excited to play with you guys.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
This is gonna be amazing.
Speaker 9 (20:38):
This is the mildest thing I've ever heard when it
comes to this stuff, but also blown up as such
a big deal.
Speaker 6 (20:43):
But this was high school, so like they're like, not
just no, maybe they're miners.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
They are minor. That's true too.
Speaker 9 (20:50):
I also had this happened to me in high school
with like a group of friends, but I got kidnapped,
and but I got taken to a pizza place.
Speaker 8 (20:58):
Well yeah, yeah, we would all get quote kidnapped, and
then they would, you know, make you dressing something crazy
and do your hair all wild and your makeup gross
and make you go to school like that. And your
friends would do that your birthday, yeah, because it wasn't
you know, to make you look bad and.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
The birthday, Oh my god, girl, that wing is f up.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
But you were out in public.
Speaker 8 (21:21):
I mean, it wasn't like they were actually hiding.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
You public with gross makeup.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
No, it was like it was like a toddler.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
Did you make up?
Speaker 9 (21:31):
It sounds like you went through more traumatic experience than
they did.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Don't me wrong, dude, I'm telling you those cheer girls
they're crazy.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
I mean, can you imagine if your makeup looked cross.
Speaker 5 (21:44):
Bank it wasn't a sheer thing.
Speaker 6 (21:49):
Well, this is a big deal, you guys. This is
economic big news. The penny might be finally going away.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Good.
Speaker 6 (21:57):
Yeah. A bipartisan group of lawmakers just in the Common
Sense Act, which would end penny production and round all
cash transactions to the nearest five cents. No change for
digital stuff like debit and Venmo and all that. The
pitch is that pennies are expensive. Af here's the deal.
(22:17):
It costs four cents to make a single penny, So
we're losing money leftards right. Us Mint lost eighty five
million dollars just cranking out pennies last year. These are
the coins most people leave in their cup holders.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Or of course, if your sea basket.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Just throw around, what a waste of time exactly, he agrees. Okay,
So okay, people, I get it. Let's get rid of
the penny.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
It makes sense.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Okay, sense it is getting But okay, so that makes
it bipartisan, right, Yeah, so everyone's on board. Why can't
we do the same thing with daylight saving time? Like
we keep talking about it. Everybody seems to be on board.
The majority of people in the country seem to be
on board with it. I mean, how long could that
(22:59):
take if it got brought up for debate? Yeah, like
talking about it for what? Yeah, let's let's spend one
single day on that. We spend all this time on
all these other things. And the uh, you know, pomp
and circumstance of people getting up there and speaking for
twenty four hours at a time just to make a point,
which okay, fine, I guess that's part of the process.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Cut, But like this is such a spot, like, look,
let's just knock this out.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (23:23):
And shouldn't we be highlighting bipartisan stuff right now where
everybody agrees.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Yeah, let's find some of these things that we can
all agree on, yes, knock those out.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Right.
Speaker 9 (23:32):
If it's something that somebody disagrees with, make a list
and then don't vote them back into office.
Speaker 6 (23:37):
There you go, And that's what's going on with all right.
Speaker 2 (23:40):

Speaker 2 (26:09):
That was like a.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Syndicated Saturday night show open house party. It was a
lot of fun. I like him, Oh, John and Kenet,
your your buddies. Yeah, okay, Let's see who else do
we know on here? Martha Quinn Oh wow, okay, but
she's more MTV and that kind of stuff. She's she
hasn't been doing radio all that long.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
I've always loved her though.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Our friend Mojo in the Morning out of Detroit, he
was nominated last year and then didn't get in. So
they were like, there's like eight people who were If
you were on the list last year and didn't make
it in, you automatically get on the list again this year.
And then there's someone Shelley the Playboy Stewart and a
couple and a couple other people.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
So here's here. Here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
I have to admit, I'm a little disappointed, and I
was feeling kind of sorry for myself today because I
was led down the path of believing because I got
calls from a number of people saying, Woodie, you're being
nominated this year now now, and I should have known
this is this is a shame on me moment because
(27:13):
as we all know, right, I mean, the guy who
runs our cluster radio stations here doesn't even know that
Gina works on the show. And we always talk about
you want to see what not a big deal looks
like like hanging around. So over the years I have
learned and I am okay with a lot of this
stuff because we don't play suck up. This has never
been a show to play suck up in the hallways alone,
(27:34):
to to our corporate overlords, to the industry in general.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
We don't do that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
And so that's we And so because of that, there's
a lot of other shows that will do stuff like that.
They're more concerned with the show and how they're perceived
in the hallways or industry than they are about their
own audience, right, And so I've come over the years
to accept all that because that's what I feel is
the right thing to do.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Works.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
So shame on me because it wasn't just one person.
Three different people told me, oh, dude, your names come up,
and I think this is the year you're going to
get nominated.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
This is my thirtieth year in the industry.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
I mean, I know, Dale Hugy has been doing for
five years. So on the surface, it made sense. I
host a nationally syndicated show. We've been crushing for eleven
years this current uh you know, whatever you iteration of
the show. I've gotten big ratings everywhere that I've worked.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
To this point, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
So I get it that that kind of thing made
sense to me. And then I'm like, huh, okay, well
maybe the tides turning and maybe maybe we are getting
some kind of industry acknowledgment. Yeah, I got Shador Shander Sander,
thank you.
Speaker 7 (28:47):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Someone for so shame on me, I believe anyway.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Anyway, So what so when when it came out, and
so like a couple of the two of the people
already hit me up this morning, going dude, I don't
know what happened, been dude, and so I'm like my
initial and my initial reaction seriously was like I was like, ah,
whatever I mean, because again right back to I don't
expect it. There's there are other hosts in this building.
(29:15):
If it's their birthday, like it's genus birthday. There, I'm
not we make it like it sound like a joke.
There would be a balloon arch down the hall, streamers
hanging from the ceiling.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Oh.
Speaker 9 (29:26):
Yeah, they would be catering after the.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Yes, sometimes for super random crap your anniversary of the
time you pooped.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Yeah, it's insane.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
It's insane.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
There's even a couple of people in this building that
have stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And when
you see like other celebrities that don't have those things,
You're like, Okay, I get it, but I mean you've
been around for me really, Okay, So anyway, point being,
my initial reaction was okay, whatever that tracks basically, but
then I felt a little bad for myself for like
(30:04):
the next hour or whatever.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
I was kind of bombed out.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
I was like, you know, we do work hard on
the show, and we I see some of the other
people who are in the D. L.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Hugley or the Alice.
Speaker 9 (30:12):
Cooper's, but they just want them to show up to
the ceremony because yeah, again it makes so much sense
that makes only had a radio show for two minutes,
and yeah, that makes them out the event.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
So again, shame on me.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
And then and this is why I'd be like, oh,
you're so cynical, You're so whatever. Yeah, I mean, because
this is egg on my face.
Speaker 9 (30:32):
Another theory, have another theory, because there is also another
Woody within the company, and just to just to throw like,
you know, behind the scenes. Like a month ago, I
got an email about like revenue when it comes to
our show, and I'm and they sent it to me,
and I was like, these numbers look way off And
I go.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Are you sure we're talking about the story? Are we
talking about the same Woody?
Speaker 7 (30:55):
And they're like yeah, yeah.
Speaker 9 (30:56):
I'm like, weight, go, there's no way this makes this
makes no sense.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
It was way lower than what we know it.
Speaker 9 (31:03):
Is because I know, like you know, the commercials that
I do and things like that. I like, this makes
that just menace alone. Yeah, and it brings in more
than what this other show does.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
And I was and by the way, it's not it's
not fair to compare apples up. He's in a much
smaller market. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (31:18):
And I was like, are you sure it's not blah
blah blah, And they oh, okay, yeah, I'm telling you Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
And I go and they're they're going around telling everybody
this is what we do.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
I'm like your number number.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
The other reason I'm bringing this up is because, uh,
and I truly do feel this way. I think about
this stuff on my own a couple of things. Number one, Greg,
I think you'll be happy to know I pulled myself
out of that in record time. Good, you know, because
I felt myself going down like a little bitch and
you for a while, and then I was like, wait,
(31:53):
you've been doing this for thirty years. We all have
great lives, we have a great job. And here's the
thing that I'm always very very humbled by. And I
know I say it a lot, and I think it's
empty lip service from a lot of people, but I
really want people who listen to the show to understand
after that, like the Disney takeover, the thing we do
with meeting all the you know, every time we're out
there and we meet listeners or whatever, and it's been
(32:14):
happening more and more, but just people in general, like
in the public, just coming up and go, oh, hey, man,
I listen to the show, Like that means way more
to me personally than any of this other stuff. And
it's why I've never really cared because I'm like, hey, man,
as long as the listeners are having a good time,
you have to worry.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
We're good. You know.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
The people who like the show, the people there is
always hated, like the Crossroads kind of stuff, whatever, who cares?
But the people who are just listeners to the show
and into it means so much to me because I
don't sometimes you know, you know how I feel like nobody,
nobody hates me more than me.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
That's that's, you know.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
And so I'm really hard on myself, and I'm hard
on you know, you know the show first of all,
hard on, hard on, uh, you know. But when you
get a chance to hear from people where people text in,
they say these nice things, or they have some personal
story about how much you know the show, you know,
mention them in this particular time, or help them in
this particular day, or just they enjoy listening like that
(33:16):
means a ton. And so I just want to thank
you guys. I don't as long as the paycheck clears,
I don't give a f what, you know, the mucky
muck kind of people think.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
And I got to remind myself of that because not
what you're doing.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
They'll still pay me, and they'll still pay us and
keep us employed. As long as these other people that
I'm talking about, the listeners are happy.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
So as long as John and can get in, what's that,
As long as can get in, we're all happy.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Yeah. And Mojo, Mojo is a really good guy. He deserves.
Who cares about Alice Cooper?
Speaker 1 (33:44):
But this whole deal thing, if he's been doing it
for five years, doesn't Isn't that counterintuitive to the term
hall of fame?
Speaker 9 (33:50):
It's radio, So I mean contract, I could be off
on that number on how long he's been doing it,
but I know it's not just like this is a
week or two.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
This is same industry.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
We'll call an all all hands on deck conference call
and spend three hours talking about how we're going to
give away a frozen turkey before Thanksgiving. That's true. What
name are we going to give this content? It's so dumb.
It's a dumb industry. It's a really stupid industry. But uh,
it's the only thing I've ever wanted to do. And
I'm very thankful to, you know, be able to do
it and make a living at it, and thankful for
(34:22):
you guys, so thank you. Yeah, just one of the
just one of the ship.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
We're lucky, all right. We're gonna take a quick break
more of what he shows next. Hang on, we'll be
back The Woody Show.
