Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to another episode of I Tell you what.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
You tell us a secret about your job that we
all kind of should know, and we'll tell you a
secret about our job that maybe you guys didn't know. Okay,
and then you guys just think think about some stuff
that we do here in radio land or Cablele two
in particular, and some stuff. I mean, everything's very transparent,
but there's some things that happen, probably behind the scenes,
(00:23):
that maybe people don't know. I mean, I'll start with
a real easy one. We pretty much dress like we're
at home on a Sunday morning. Yeah, you know, just
rolled out of bed.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Radio is very cash, very very cash.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
It wasn't that way at every station I worked at
the last one I was at, we had to wear
polo shirts or collar shirts and stuff. Oh yeah, and
khaki pants and yeah, it's kind of kind of stupid.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
I'm away.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
That's why I got into radio, so you don't have
to wear like a uniform.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Exactly, dude, we weren't dis joke. He's were bankers, and
it kind of felt like you're a banker. Yeah, not
khaki pants all the time, but you couldn't have a
rip in your pants. You couldn't have I mean, you
couldn't be your rock star. You know, I'm not ripping.
Its just I get why. It's just it was just
a little pent.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
I kind of don't just because I don't know. It's radio.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Who cares well if you understood the characters. Okay, you know,
but it is what it's those days, it's done. I
don't even know if it's still that way anymore. Imagine,
you know, I think there's been some structural changes there.
But you know, yeah, if you even had a rip
in your pants or holding bad which is deemed kind
of cool, you know, yeah, there's nothing wrong with having
a rip in your pants.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Kind of a fashion thing too. That does sound really outdated.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I feel like white and like this board gives me
a rip in my pants?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Does it tear your pants?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah? This thing down here, this keyboard thing.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
This radio station loves you so much, is trying to
undress you.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
It's trying to get into my pants and it succeeded.
So drop something on talkback. What is it something about
your job that we all should know that we don't know,
I mean anything behind the scenes. We learned the other
day that people predominantly more in mex Can restaurants. I
guess that they add a little water to those hot
(02:04):
sizzling plates, so the big so you get the steam.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Yeah, So it's not necessarily that it's coming right out
of the oven and steaming. I mean it's pretty close still,
but in coming right to your plate. But before they
do that, that hot steaming plate, they put some water
on it and it starts bubble and steaming.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
And then they bring it out to you right away.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
So that's there's a little trade secret.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
I learned a long time ago about like when you're
shopping for things that are like clean brands, I guess,
like I try to use really natural products when I can.
But the thing is things like phrases like clean, natural,
blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
These are all words that.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
They can just put on anything. It doesn't there's no
like real regulation on what they can put on something
as long as they're not saying that it's like organic,
certified or whatever. They can say whatever they want on
a product and it's fine. And so you have to
actually know what you're looking at. And that's across a
lot of different industries, whether it's makeup, clean products, whatever.
They can just say whatever they want. Then on the packaging,
(03:04):
you have to actually know what you're looking at.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Depend again, who's looking at it. That can be dangerous, right, Yes,
it's in the perception of the beholder, whoever's looking at it.
And if they're not really well briefed on stuff, they
see the word clean, they just figure organic and good
to go, and then they put it on and they
break out like a fiend.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
Well that's the thing, and so you have to actually
really look at it. Now, I will say, in this
age of social media, if you're too misleading with your packaging,
then you're gonna get ripped on social and it's going
to backfire on you. So generally I think that just
because of that fact, they're a little bit more careful.
But twenty years ago, fifteen whatever. Fifteen years ago, there
was just not that same kind of social reach, and
(03:43):
so they just get away with whatever they wanted.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I'd love to hear from Amazon drivers because I know
for an absolute fact, before you guys were caught on
all those ring cams, door cams and stuff. Yeah, you
guys were launching those packages frombout as far away as
you could.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
It was like a sporting event.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
The shot put.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Oh so it's like how close to the door I
get it? You can just see him got some of it.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
And then they have to come walk in that cup
and trench through the snow and then put it in
front of the door, you know, But I mean it
was it was almost like a frisbee.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Just like, Man, these guys are good.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
My one buddy is a manager at Amazon, like a
distribution center, and he had a fire guy because they
were loading the truck and he goes the one guy goes,
there's one package left, turns around and just shoots it
in the truck and goes Kobe and he goes fired.
Really yeah, because he's throwing a package and obviously fragile
on it. Did it probably, but they don't want anything
to happen while they're at the facility.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
So no kidding.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
I'm surprised they didn't just write them up or something.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
For one Kobe, Yeah, one three.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Pointer, your harsh goes they don't play any games.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I'd love to know what the people do at the
airports with my baggage with the UGAU When you check it,
what do you when you you know, check it and
you go through and you you know, leave it down
in the belly of the plane.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
What happens to that?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Sometimes I've got like shaving cream that's exploded all over.
I mean it's not just there's no way, it's just
the pressure of the plane. I mean it looks like
somebody sometimes ravaged through the thing. But they're supposed to
put a ticket in when they do that. But I
swear they must grab the luggage and just shake it up.
And I see the guys too, And they did this
more a while ago than they do now because more
(05:20):
people everybody videos everything. Yeah, but back in the day, man,
they're chucking your luggage around like that. Amazon drivers, yeah,
you know. And I'm not ripping all Amazon drivers, by
the way. I know you guys are good, responsible people.
But back in the day it was fun to watch
you guys on the ring camps. But they chuck your
baggage like down on the ground and then they put
it up the conveyor belt, and you know, it flips
over and falls off from about you know, fifteen feet
(05:42):
on the conveyor belt and they pick it back up
and chuck it back on there again, like that's my bag,
my guy. So some stuff that most people don't know
about your profession. I want to rip on talkback on
the iHeartRadio app right now as you are listening to
us on Chemical too, hit the red mic.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
Anyone that comes into someone's home to perform a service
like cleaning the house or if you're a nanny or
anything like that. I've always been curious if and how
much people snoop on other people's stuff, Like if.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
You're someone he used to work for comcasts and like
he would go into the house and he would like,
I mean, observe his surroundings. But he's like, people like
leave stuff around. He's seen like guns around, drug paraphernalia,
like money lying around. He's like, don't you like put
this stuff away? With someone's coming over.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Actively look for No, he didn't go into medicine cabinets.
I am in't somebody else's else.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
What do they take?
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Yeah, I'm just gonna how much how much they peek
into people's drawers and stuff.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
I just I don't And also I couldn't be one
of those DoorDash drivers. I'd be like I'm gonna sneak
a fry.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Oh No, you're the it's people like you that they
tape him shut. Now for the tamper proof tape little stickers.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Then you just buy your own stickers and then you
just rip that off.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Well, I hope you're never a DoorDash driver.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
I'm I will never be.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
We tell people here that if you're listening to you know,
regular over the air radio, like in your car radio,
no gadgets, no nothing, that our words right now, we're
thirty about thirty seconds ago.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
What we're saying right now happened thirty seconds ago is
you're listening. If you're listening on the iHeart app, it's
about a minute ago. Yeah, So there's a little bit
more to the app. So we take when we take winners,
we wait for the app to catch up, and then
we get to twenty two as quickly as we can.
Just so you guys know, and I will say, the
iHeart app is I I haven't really done a speed test,
but I believe I'm I could say with really all certainty,
(07:36):
it's the fastest app. It's our app, so it gets
you there faster. Some of the others streaming apps are
slower than that. And I'm not going to mention I
mean some of them. I don't want to ruin any
relationships but I mean one of them one time, I
mean was really slow. Yeah, remember that I was like
seven minutes late or something.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
And these are other apps that you can use technically,
maybe to listen to different radio stations. But yes, it
is far, far, far more delayed than listening to an
iHeart station on the iHeart app, which makes sense right
because it's our app, our station, our signal, and.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
It just pumps through faster. Yeah. Yeah, for lack of
a better terminology, I guess yes.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
So if you want to be listening and have it
be as close to real time, then it's got to
be ihired app.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Do you have any air airline pilots listening right now?
I know something.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
I know.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
You guys got secrets.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
You guys take naps. They got it. They can't they
sleep up there.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
They can set an autopilot.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Do you really land the planes or does the plane
land itself? I really want to know.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Do you really have your hands on the thing or
does it? Can it just glide in by itself? Because
they talked about planes landing themselves all the time. I
mean cars drive themselves. I think be easier to land
a plane than actually drive a car. And this big
mess out here.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
Well, especially just statistically, I mean, your odds of getting
in a car accident are far, far, far higher than
your odds of getting into any kind of airline accident.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Because you got all the dinglings on the road.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Well, we've got the talkbacks coming in. We want to
get your stuff on the air, and we're going to
do this a little bit later. Some of these are
pretty I have to go through an edit. Looks like
a couple of these as I'm reading as you guys
are talking a little bit, well, they just may need
a little bit of editing. There's also some, you know,
businesses that we don't want to call it. We want
to call it like industries in certain industries as opposed
(09:17):
to certain specific businesses.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Yeah, but it's interesting.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
We can maybe bleep out or cut out some certain Absolutely,
we don't want to put anybody in a bad spot.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
But we love hearing about secrets with jobs.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yeah, give us some of your job secrets. What's going on?
Where are you at?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
You know, anybody go to massage parlor and get the
Robert Craft.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
That was a thing in Maple Lake. I think I
heard that.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
In Maple Lake.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Yes, I heard that there was like a massage place
in Maple Lake.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Recently they got shut down for real, for doing like
these kind of massages.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Yes, Robert Crafts in Maple Lake, I think so.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
I mean, they got shut down, but they're open again.
But they are, but I don't think it's I mean
they are.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
I don't think they are.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
I don't think I don't think they're providing the same
services anymore.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
What's the name of that?
Speaker 3 (10:09):
I mean, don't quote me on that. That's just what
I've heard.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Do you work work in Maple Lake at a massage parlor?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Talk?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Or even better did you?
Speaker 5 (10:22):
And I drove by them the other day and they
had the little open thing in the window and I
was like, yeah, okay.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
There's the hot gossip.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I guess it's.
