Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to another episode of I Tell You what you know.
The only way to find out if something works in
radios when you just go live and just try to
figure it out. Are you there, I'm here. Can you
hear me? Oh? Nothing works when we practice it, but
when you go on the arecas. That's why a little
prayer to God works every time, no matter what you're doing.
You guys can both attest to this. There was stuff
(00:23):
going on in this room. Nothing was really working a
moment ago, but now it is working gloriously. So Hi, dubs,
Oh Hi, how you doing.

through the roof over here. Oh, talk one' s dubs,
Talk one's dubs. There you go. So it's Chris Carr
and Company, Chris, Sam and Dubbs. Dubbs has joined the
team now in a producer capacity, and that's going to
be a growing capacity. He's also doing a bunch of
stuff all around the radio station, which is nothing shy
of awesome and always has been for that matter. But
(00:54):
we could use all the help we can get. So
you're going to be out tomorrow morning and we are
going to listen, the price of eggs are through the
roof right now. I mean, it's extraordinary. These prices are
not most excellent, but you know it is most excellent.

of eggs that are even more valuable than the eggs
that we get in the store. Oh yeah, wait more,

what time? And how do people win? Tomorrow morning?

valuable because they got some Dairy Queen treats in there

Speaker 3 (03:17):
They're trusted me with it, so that is so cool.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
I haven't even seen the I guess it's a truck,
like a new Kono fruck.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
That is so cool. I haven't even seen it yet.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
It's badass, dude, that's awesome. This is like right up
there with the hummer that we had years ago. We
had a we had like a couple of hommers. Oh
that's back when radio budgets were obnoxious. It was awesome. Yeah,
we had a couple of hoummers. So well, first timer
didn't really work all that well, and hummers don't go
that fast. I remember I had to drive it once
and they don't steer that good either. And I think
(03:45):
I had a couple and I was driving the hummer.
This is back in the day, Okay, this was a
long time ago, and it was late at night and
all that kind of stuff. And I wasn't not drunk,
I want to reiterate that. But I had to go
through a tiny little tunnel bridge what we call a
chicken bridge back in the all was that of her
fun with a hummer. I mean, I came right down
to about a dead stop. I'm like, I didn't think
(04:06):
there's room for one car let alone too, but I'd
tried to get the uh, the hummer through it, and
I did and everything was great. But he used to
have to floor it just to do fifty geez. Yeah,
and it broke down. All that hummer broke down all
the time. But then we got like a new Hummer,
like a badass hummer, was black, and put some some
one of the lights KP lights on top of it. Yeah,
(04:26):
those like the cool lights. Yeah, we had those things
on top. That was pretty awesome. They didn't let me
drive the new one. I wonder why. Well, promotions were allowed.
They were allowed to drive the trucks and stuff, not
not the jockeys especially. Yeah, because we could go to
events and have a cocktail or two promotions. It was
never allowed, right, you know, we had one promotions guy
take out. We had a capble to led Van Frank.
(04:50):
Frank was a sales manager and he drove that thing
to one of the casinos and he hit a bridge,
took out the whole led right off the top. Oh,
it was awesome. It's just like became a convertible, unless
it's a split second.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
The radio industry and the people in.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
It are we're characters.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
They're yeah, we are a little weird.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
You aren't. You're a little offt the beaten path, but
you're not. You're not quite as nefarious as some of
the characters.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Oh heck no, Well that's what I was gonna say.
I feel like these days everything is very very mild.
But I don't know if you look like twenty years ago,
thirty years ago. Some of the stories that I hear
from people that were in radio at that time, you
guys are wild.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yes, I had a station. Man, We were in not
a very nice neighborhood and they tried to burn my
station down and I was in it. That's the truth.
They burned it down. They poured gasoline all over it,
kind of burned out. They didn't think anybody was in
the building. In my defense, they didn't even know it
was a radio station. That's we're a popular station too.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
But they didn't know what Chris has some of the
crazy stories like this man has been shot at multiple times.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Multiple time while on the radio. Yeah, no, one time.
It wasn't live on the radio. I was doing production, okay.
I was doing production in another room in a stove. Yes. Yeah.
The disc jockey was right like from me to you
right now. Doves is in another room. There's a glass separation. Somebody,
a wife, a very scorn wife, was coming in and
(06:14):
shooting at her two timing husband who was right across
the board from me, and missed him. She was shaking
so bad, she was so nervous, but she shot at him.
The bullet. One of the bullets went right next to
him through the rate the board that I was working on,
and somehow it ricocheted between my legs and hit the
wall behind me, went like right between my legs. I
(06:35):
smelled smoke and the board crapped out. I know, I
know what phones on and I saw those two over
there like arguing and fighting. I didn't see a gun
or anything. And then also in the board went out.
And when the board went out, like everybody ran out,
and I'm like, what's going on? Is there a fire
in here? Because my board went so I was just like,
I'm like pounding on the board like a piece of
you know what. But I just went home. I just
got up and went home. I don't even know anything
(06:56):
was going on. I'm like, where did Bill go? Bills
the guy across the across the way, his name on
the ear was Sydney, but his real name was Bill,
and I remember that. And then I went home and
the cops called me and they said do you work
for the radio station? I said, yeah, said, uh, we
have somebody up here in a dumpster with a gun
and her husband is outside and called us, called the police,
(07:18):
and there's dead air on your station. I go, well,
is there anybody dead in the station, you know, because
there's somebody with the gun. No, just the dead air, Like,
oh my gosh, that's terrible. Who cares about the person? Yeah,
I gotta run up and face the dead air. So
I did, Oh, I've got it. There's a ton and there.
That's legit, absolutely one. God is my witness legit story.
(07:41):
Never forget that phone. I'm just hanging out. I was
all pissed that the production board blew up again. I
called Lacy, our engineer. His name was John Lacy. I'm like,
can you fix the board again? The production board? He
just was always bitchy about everything. He's like, what the
he goes doing to that board? Blah blah blah blah.
I'm like, when the board just like been around since
like the nineteen twenties. John, the crapt out again and
then we find out if somebody shot it and I
(08:03):
was on it.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
What about the time when you were driving and somebody
was shooting at.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Your vehicle That was in Washington, d C.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
This man is full of stories.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Yeah. I was driving with my girlfriend and there was
a drive by and they shot up a bus stop,
just blew up a bus stop, and it was the
car behind us that sprayed the bus stop. And my
feet popped off the floorboard. So my little Toyota Celica.
I mean, we were rattling. I thought it was an
earthquake or something. All these flashes. Then I'm like, okay,
(08:32):
is the power lines going down? What's going on? And
then this car went went around us. My girlfriend was sleeping.
My girlfriend at the time, she peed in the front
passenger seat.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I could leave that part out kind of sad, said detail.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Why No, she was very scary. Why didn't tell you
what I did to make it even? But I no,
I didn't. Nothing happened there, but I knew. I'm like
and I'd be lined it out of there right down
the BW park where I got. I was on whatever
I think New York Avenue and DC and then I
went got over to b W Parkway or maybe it
turned into b W Parkway. I went through every red
(09:07):
light on the way back to Baltimore.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Did it wreck your car?
Speaker 1 (09:10):
No, there's nothing in my car. They didn't shoot my car. No.
Wasn't there shooting the people over at the Yeah, you
were just call the P the P But no, she's
not a cat.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
No, I'm not worried about that. Wasn't there? And then
was there a story that involved a river and a
dead body.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Yes, that's a whole nother story that was back in Massachusetts.
That's one that I can't say that one. There's a
lot to that story that can't be sat out here.
But it's that one's absolutely and I could probably get
the sales guy David Langloy and Keith Stevens, a couple
of guys that I worked with out there. They could
tell the story to the stuff that I can't say.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
It's just crazy. You have the craziest stories about anyone
have ever hed. But I'm still here and you're still here.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
It's like somehow you were truly meant to be here
because you have somehow dip dodge, ducked whatever.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
All these random things.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
These are mild. I mean, I've got there's others. I mean,
I'm serious. I know people think radio were exaggerationists and
all that stuff are actually legit teamed down well corroborated stories,
and there's more to them. There's stuff I can't even.
There's just some stuff that you just you know, I
go there. But anyway, I'm here street cred than a rapper.
