00:00Hey, it's Joe from Big KMTV Studios, and it's not just live action where you run into the
00:05radio disc jockey. On today's episode of Radio DJ Reacts, JR is going to watch some classic
00:11cartoons. So let's start it off with Rabid Ron on the most 90s of 90s shows, Beavis and Butthead.
00:20Though, it's come back like twice, so I don't even know if it's the 90s of 90s shows.
00:30Now, dudes, a lot of guys go on the air, but let me give you a tip. Pretend you're talking
00:39to one person. Yep, it's true. Can you be like a chick? Sure. Hey, baby. Want to like, get me on?
00:48What? Me too. Hey, Headbangers, this is Rabid Ron bringing you the Tri-County... He just broke his own
00:56rule. He called the audience Headbangers. Today are our guest DJ winners, Beavis and Butthead.
01:00Guest DJs. How you doing, dudes? Love doing this. Uh, no. What? How about you, Beavis?
01:07Sometimes it's like pulling teeth with certain guests. Check out my butt. Yeah. What? Okay.
01:11So I know that you invite people to come on the air with you. What's the most nervous you've ever
01:17seen somebody who's like your guest DJ or that you've put in front of a mic? I would often have
01:23in high school cheer squads, right? And for being some of the most peppy, you know, girls,
01:28a lot of them could get super nervous and anxious about public speaking, right? Even if it's amongst,
01:34you know, all of their teammates and their peers. Let's give Beavis and Butthead time to calm down
01:39a little. Yeah. And play something. Hit him with a track and then come back to it.
01:42Biking funeral. What do you say, Butthead? Uh, they suck. No, no. Hey, guys, I used to do subversive
01:52radio myself in the seventies. Okay. But for this gig, we need a little more positivity.
01:56Yep. Hey, Butthead, what's he saying? When you're on the air and that mic's cracked in
02:00your life, you are in the best mood of all time. Yeah, we can. Stuff sucks. It sucks. It
02:06sucks. It sucks. And pro tip, none of the music you play sucks. It's all the best song ever.
02:10There's a $5 gift certificate in it for you from the sound silo. So have you ever had to
02:14coach someone who came on the airwaves not to speak negative about an artist you're currently
02:19playing? You know, I never have. Um, I've definitely have my certain opinions about,
02:28you know, music that I would play whatever station I've been on over, over the last 10
02:32years, but you kind of keep those to yourself. Like this is your job, uh, to, to present these
02:38songs to your audience because your audience wants to hear them. So you get to really take
02:43any of your personal bias out of it. Um, and every song that the station plays that
02:48you're on is the best song. Hey, that was the latest from Viking funeral. Uh, they don't
02:55suck rabbit Ron. They don't look at their demographic. This is great. No, you said we
03:01can't say that anymore. So how's it feel to be on the radio boys? Pretty cool. Huh? Uh, it
03:08doesn't suck. Ricky mistake. This guy should have never brought these two guys on the radio
03:12live with him. He should have taped all of this or something. Yeah. You look like an old
03:18fart. Oh man. Come on boys. I got some last night. How about you? Huh? I didn't think
03:25you get more than one microphone in there. Man, this poor guy. Hey, if you guys keep screwing
03:33around, I'm going to be one pissed off radio personnel. Yeah. So try to take this a little
03:37more seriously. Okay. Hey, we're back with our guest DJs Beavis and Butt-Ed. So dudes, how
03:44about some music that kicks ass? Yeah. Cool. You said ass. Kick ass. You wouldn't expect
03:55anything less from the Tri-County region's ass-kickingest radio station. Oh yeah. Ass.
04:03But before we get to the ass-kicking, Butt-Ed, why don't you tell the folks about our next head-banging
04:08contest? The PD is probably peeking through the window. Hey, easy on the ass, guys. Uh, the
04:16teeth. Oh gosh. Cooler. Tenth caller. Uh. He tried to do him a solid and slide him a piece
04:24of paper and he just can't even read it. Yeah. Yeah. Great joke, Butt-Ed. I wish Rabid
04:31Ron would have. So in the studio, we have a device called the Vox Pro, right? This is
04:36where you capture all of your calls and your audio on. And what he, what he should have
04:41done for Beavis and Butt-Ted, as he calls him, like I did for the cheer squad, was you
04:46basically give it to him, uh, line for line, right? And you say, repeat after me. Hey, this
04:52is Ashley from XYZ School. And she'll say, Hey, this is Ashley from XYZ School. And tonight's
04:57number five song and tonight and back and forth and back and forth. And you're able to then
05:01chop that up and make it one coherent kind of thought and sentence and then present her
05:07on the air that way. Um, if you don't, you better be ready to scramble and be on your toes
05:12to try to cover up for their mistakes because you know, it's, it's on you, whatever, whatever
05:17happens in there. But yeah, there's definitely been some nervous people. Of course, he means
05:22tickets to tonight's Bon Jovi concert. Oh yeah. I'm afraid that's all the time we have for Beavis
05:27and Butt-Ted, but keep listening. I like how he says Butt-Ted. You guys get the hell out of here.
05:32Get out of my studio, bro. You're old. Oh, come on. I know I am, but leave me alone.
05:39Oh gosh. This rabid Ron's quite a character. What do you think? You know, there's this like
05:51stereotypical thing where people that get into radio, much like myself, uh, it's because maybe
06:00you were never cool in high school. I certainly wasn't. Maybe you never got women. Uh, you know,
06:06so this job makes you feel like you have some kind of sense of power and, you know, personality
06:13and popularity. And that just oozes off rabid Ron for sure. Um, he's definitely not too old to be in
06:30that format. They were definitely in a rock format. Um, he broke his own rule right at the very beginning.
06:36He gives you the cardinal rule, right? Which is when you're on the air and you're jockeying,
06:41you're talking to one person, right? And you can speak as if you're speaking to your best friend.
06:45I even learned in the beginning, going as far as putting a picture of your best friend on the
06:49mic flag. So it's like, you're actually speaking to them, but yeah, rabid Ron, not very good,
06:55but he shouldn't have to deal with Beavis and Butthead. I think he did the best he could given the
07:01circumstances. No one could. No, I'm sorry, sir. We're not offering the butt tattoo promotion.
07:06No, I'm sorry, sir. We're not offering the butt tattoo promotion.
07:11They're getting so many phone calls. He just said for a guy who's supposed to like have rabies.
07:17Rabid Ron's a wuss, man. I'm glad you enjoyed them, sir. But no, I'm afraid they are not real
07:23radio personalities. You know, what really stands out to me from this is when I first started in
07:30radio, I thought it would be silly. I thought it would be funny to pretend that I was giving away
07:37my co-host's new Jeep on the air. And because obviously I didn't understand FCC rules and like
07:44regulations and all that stuff. As soon as we got off the air, I got a big talking to by my mentor,
07:51Rob. And he's like, look, bro, I understand you're trying to be funny. You're probably a little bit
07:55nervous. You can't joke like that because all it takes is for one person to complain about
08:03something like that, where, hey, you told me that I could win a car and now you're telling me that I
08:07can't. So early on, I really learned that you got to be careful with what you say on the air,
08:14because at the end of the day, people hear what they want to hear.
08:16So this is a pretty common thing. The ticket giveaway. Do you feel like Santa Claus when it
08:22comes to giving out tickets to people? The new hits 95.7. Hey, I'm J.R. Jessica in Commerce City.
08:28Check it out. You're going to Post Malone, October 30th at Ball Arena. This is signed by Colorado's
08:34own One Republic and check it out. I want this to be yours. Okay. So many of you entered to win,
08:41not Cheetos. Enter to win Ed Sheeran tickets. Hello. Is this Amanda? This is Amanda. Amanda,
08:48this is J.R. with Hits 95.7. What up? Hi. Did I win tickets? You're damn right. You're going to
08:54Olivia Rodrigo. Oh, my gosh. My daughter is going to be so happy. She was like, I'm the worst mom in
09:00the world. And then I got tickets. Oh, my freaking gosh. Jennifer in Denver, you just picked up two
09:04tickets for Billie Eilish this November at Ball Arena. Oh, my God. That is amazing. Thank you.
09:10You're going to Ed Sheeran this weekend at Empower Field. Crystal, you just picked up two tickets
09:16for Ed Sheeran at Empower Field next summer. Oh, my God. Yes. Who's your concert buddy? Who's
09:22rolling with you? Maybe my boyfriend. Maybe. I hope he's not listening right now. Do you feel
09:26like Santa Claus? It can be a double-edged sword. And let me tell you from experience at my most recent
09:33job in Denver, Taylor Swift came to town, right? Biggest star in the country. Huge pop star.
09:40I would still give anything. And Kylie, I mean anything at all to be Taylor Swift's next ex-boyfriend.
09:46I mean that. I'm serious. She did two nights at Empower Field in Denver, sold out both nights,
09:52right? And when I tell you this was, I obviously wasn't around for Beatlemania, but I imagine it
09:59was probably in the same lane as this. This was unlike anything that I ever experienced in my
10:05broadcasting career. And I've been around some pretty major acts and done giveaways for some
10:10huge artists, but none bigger than Taylor Swift, especially at this particular time. I definitely
10:16felt like Santa Claus. I felt like I had the hottest ticket in town. Obviously, listening skyrocketed.
10:22Everybody wants to win because tickets for this show were just astronomical, just way too expensive.
10:28Riley in Denver, don't freak out, girl. But you're going to Taylor Swift.
10:31No way. No way. Are you serious? Absolutely. This Saturday night,
10:35you win a friend on us. Oh my gosh. Thank you so much.
10:39It goes from excitement and just like, you know, joy to then listeners trying to straight up guilt you
10:46and make you feel bad because they didn't win at a random, you know, caller nine wins. Or we even did
10:55this contest where you had to send in an audio message. We call them talkbacks. And I would scour
11:00through and pick whichever one I thought sounded best. And people legitimately tried to guilt me
11:06because I didn't pick them to win a contest that was completely random. Even as far as a girl to call
11:14me and say, JR, you gave tickets to my sister. You chose my sister, just like my family has always
11:23chosen my sister our entire lives. And now you're going to do the same thing. And I'm just like,
11:28whoa, like relax, you know, and they, you know, they really try to pull on your heartstrings to try
11:34to win their way in to Taylor Swift. But, you know, for all the good, there's, you know, there's,
11:39there's a few bad apples here and there. Maybe if her sister liked her, she could have got invited.
11:44That's what I'm saying. You know, what was even cooler about that scenario is on the,
11:49on the other side of that, I had a girl that flew her sister in from Utah because Taylor Swift was in
11:56town and they, they, they were just going to be at home, but they wanted to be together because
12:02Taylor Swift was in Colorado. And then lo and behold, one of them win and they, they brought
12:08each other and it was just, they were like crying on the phone and they were so excited and they were
12:12so thankful. And it's things like that, that make what I do such a joy.
12:16Our next show is from the MTV cartoon, Dari.
12:22Mental Z 93 in the morning.
12:27I knew they were going to sound like this.
12:32Yeah.
12:34Mental in the morning, you know, or it like radio loves their alliteration, right? So anytime you can
12:41put, you know, like the hits to get you home mental in the morning, it's a big deal. When
12:47your local station shows up at your school, I've done this so often here who I bet know
12:53how to partay really should start driving between classes. Girls. We've got a treasure chest full
13:00of Z 93 and all you have to do for the key is tell us on the air where you love to get
13:07mental in the morning. On Z 95.
13:12I think they have stage right, Bachelor Man. Come on, girls. Nothing to fear but winning.
13:16Just tell us which station plays the hits high schoolers love to hear. Note to self. Stop
13:23by courthouse on way home and pick up a restraining order.
13:26Well, no problemo. We'll just find some other mental morning party people.
13:31Yep.
13:31Hey, Spatula Man. Let's remind our audience what we're doing here this morning. It's
13:36simple, Bing. We're going to make a love match for this young man live on the air.
13:41Okay.
13:42Charles is my name. Exploring the dark underbelly of passion is my game.
13:47Oh, gosh.
13:48Okay, Charles. The first girl out here in our audience to agree to a date with you is going
13:53to get a free mental in the morning bumper sticker. Yay.
13:58What do you say, ladies?
14:00Yeah.
14:02A date for a bumper sticker?
14:05Even Upchuck doesn't deserve this much humiliation.
14:08Think how the bumper sticker must feel.
14:11First, I have to address the station swag, right? The bumper stickers, the t-shirts. I'm
14:16sure they probably had koozies in the back of the van. All that stuff is very stereotypical.
14:22The Spatula Man ain't too proud to go to them.
14:27Oh, my goodness. What?
14:30Those are teenage girls. What is he doing?
14:33Which one of you lovelies wants to go out for a night out of town with my man Charles
14:37and win a free bumper sticker on Z93?
14:41Z93.
14:42Tiffany, dear, would you please explain to the Spatula Man why the bumper sticker cannot...
14:47W and B.C.
14:49Possibly compensate for the shame and permanent reputation damage involved in a single date
14:55with Charles Rutheimer?
14:56Oh, gosh.
14:57I'll talk.
14:59Ew.
15:00Well done.
15:01Those girls should be on the air.
15:02Hey, how about you?
15:03Up for a date with our Don Juan de Londale?
15:07Um, no thanks.
15:08Don't you want to hear your voice on the radio?
15:11Come on, you look like you can use a date.
15:13Ouch.
15:15Let me be your...
15:16Why does it look like Shermanator?
15:18From American Pie.
15:20A sophisticated sex robot sent back through time to change the future for one lucky lady.
15:26Okay, you talked me into it.
15:28You hear that, everybody?
15:30I'll just run home first and take a 10-year shower.
15:33Oh.
15:35Ooh.
15:36Kind of a rough response.
15:38What's the roughest response you've ever gotten when you've done a gig or hosted a contest?
15:43Any experience that I've had like this in public or even more specifically at a school
15:47like this scene is.
15:48I remember working in Nashville.
15:50This was a few years back now.
15:53And I linked up with this boy band at the time.
15:55Their band name was Why Don't We.
15:57Super talented, super cool guys, right?
16:00Homies, what up?
16:01JR here.
16:01And I'm with my buddies.
16:03Why don't we?
16:03Say what's up.
16:04What's up?
16:05We're here at John Overton High School.
16:06We're about to walk into this auditorium and surprise Sarah Osborne, who was the winner
16:11of JR's High School Takeover with Why Don't We.
16:14You guys ready?
16:14I'm so ready.
16:15Is she ready, Joe?
16:16Yes, she is.
16:17Let's do it.
16:18And a listener that attended a local high school in the area won this big contest where
16:25that band would come to their school and crash their lunchtime.
16:29So I got to join the band and film this entire thing where this popular boy band came into
16:36the school and people were just losing it.
16:39Like it was a super cool, super fun experience.
16:42None of that was broadcasted live, but it was captured and repurposed later, you know, on
16:48air and online.
16:49The 93 makes me metal in the morning!
16:55Oh my.
16:56Somebody check on this poor kid.
16:59I've seen more people collapse this week.
17:01That was pretty good, but good enough to win a t-shirt?
17:04I don't think so.
17:06The station swag, dude.
17:07It's just, come on.
17:09You're killing me with this.
17:10Why, Z!
17:12Z!
17:1293 makes them metal in the morning!
17:14So it appears that this radio station slogan is that they play the hits that kids want
17:21to hear.
17:22Do you think an actual radio station would use that slogan?
17:25That's basically a top 40 station, which I assume this one was.
17:31Just trying to be hip, just trying entirely too hard.
17:35That definitely was, I'm going to use a word that I absolutely hate.
17:40It's the word that I hate second most in this world, and that's cringe.
17:44I know what I know what I know what I know what I know what I know what I know what
17:47I know what I know what I know what I know what I know what I know what I know what I know.
17:47In the green!
17:48Yeah!
17:48You!
17:49Once again, I'm being personally addressed by a morning DJ.
17:53That's it.
17:53I want your autograph.
17:54You've been avoiding us all week long!
17:56Why not come up here and tell us why Z!
17:58So wait, they've been here all week?
17:59Why Z!
18:0093 makes you mental in the morning!
18:04Free t-shirt!
18:06It's two sizes too large and tissue thin.
18:08It always is.
18:09How can you resist?
18:10I'd finally have a decent outfit for the auto show.
18:13People love free stuff, man.
18:14Are you mental in the morning?
18:16You know, I think I am.
18:18Daria is really playing up that stereotype like Beavis and Butthead did, where it's just
18:24lame adult men who are way too old to be doing this type of shtick annoying everybody.
18:30Is this like super common, or do you think it's kind of a stereotype?
18:34The over-the-top personalities, not even personality, these guys really didn't have any.
18:40They were just, their voices were over-the-top, right?
18:44It was just your very stereotypical, get mental in the morning on Z!
18:49It was just, it's called puking is what we call it in the industry.
18:53I was guilty of that early on.
18:54Cue 97.9, Portland's number one hit music station.
18:58I'm your favorite homie, JR, live in studio.
19:01I have been too, I've been reminiscing lately about Old Port Fest 2014.
19:05Oh, Megan and Liz, right?
19:07You got it!
19:08Oh, what's on the Cue music scene?
19:09Taylor Swift.
19:10I don't want to cut you off, Kylie, but Taylor is the only artist in 2014 to sell over a million
19:15albums.
19:15Just trying to be what I thought I was supposed to be.
19:18And the writers of this show perfectly nailed that with these two buffoons.
19:22A few days ago, my father had a heart attack, forcing me to admit his mortality to myself
19:27for the first time.
19:29Accepting this grim new knowledge has been especially difficult, as I've been under constant
19:33yammering assault by two utterly brainless and talentless so-called radio personalities.
19:37Oh, gosh.
19:38And so for these reasons, I, Daria Morgendorfer, am mental in the morning.
19:46Yikes.
19:48Those guys are gonna quit their jobs.
19:50So Daria just killed the party mood pretty fast.
19:54What is the craziest thing you've ever seen at one of these live events?
19:58Well, I joke you not.
20:00We had a girl that got a tattoo on her foot of our station name to win tickets to a concert.
20:09What was it for?
20:10It was for Five Seconds of Summer.
20:12Hey, are you guys excited to meet Five Seconds of Summer?
20:15So we were doing this contest and you had to, you had to use a certain hashtag, right?
20:22And I guess you just had to do something, something wild.
20:24I don't really remember the theme of it.
20:26But people were, you know, painting their cars and making signs and bringing them out in public.
20:32And this one girl's like, screw it.
20:33I'm gonna get this hashtag tattooed on my foot.
20:36So our radio station, which is defunct now, it's not a station anymore.
20:42It's gone through like two or three different name changes since then.
20:45She has that tattooed permanently on her foot.
20:49But hopefully, you know, it'll make for a good story for her for years to come.
20:53We're talking about it now.
20:54Our next clip comes from the cartoon Garfield and Friends, where John Arbuckle has now become a disc jockey.
21:02Every year, dozens of otherwise worthwhile human beings take that horrifying step and become disc jockeys.
21:09Oh no, disc jockeys.
21:11Here's a normal person playing a record.
21:13Let me play a record for you.
21:15This is just gonna just rash on me, isn't it?
21:19Now here's that same normal person after he became a disc jockey.
21:23Oh yeah.
21:23Hey guys and gals and gals and guys, I got stacks and stacks of red hot wax coming down the tracks with the boss.
21:30Sound for the boss.
21:31Please, don't let this happen to you.
21:33This has been a public service message from the National Institute for Disc Jockey Prevention.
21:38That's the stereotype, right?
21:41That's the, whoa, just look out.
21:44This is the rhyming and, you know, part of me, part of me loves it.
21:50And that's a guilty pleasure of mine.
21:52I just think it's so fun.
21:54It's certainly over the top and it's not what program directors are looking for now, if ever.
22:02But I don't know.
22:04There's, there's some kind of charm about it.
22:06I know it's, it's, comes across super annoying, but I think that's what I like about it.
22:12Oh man.
22:13That was Vinny and the Landlords with their new hit, Don't Evict Me From Your Heart.
22:17That's John.
22:18Back selling the new song.
22:20Good work.
22:20He's no longer a person.
22:21He's now a disc jockey.
22:22This is Johnny the A coming at you with more of some of the gold hits here on K-Dum Radio.
22:27It's K-Dum Radio, John Arbogal.
22:33Nice jingle.
22:34And now a word about Frump's fine clothing stores.
22:37Don't worry, he'll be home soon.
22:39He was about to do a live endorsement on the air.
22:41I respect that.
22:42I want to hold your pancreas.
22:44Coming at you at 314 here on K-Dum Radio.
22:47It's K-Dum Radio, John Arbogal.
22:53Hey John, you're beautiful.
22:55No, you're beautiful.
22:56No, you're beautiful.
22:57No, you're beautiful.
22:58Hey John, I'd like you to-
23:00Hey John.
23:01Fine clothing.
23:02Mr. Frump, I've been reading your commercials.
23:04Well, do a good job, Arbogal.
23:06I don't want any kidding around in my commercials.
23:08Stick around, I got one coming up right after news on the hour.
23:11They're a little harsh.
23:12Another one that kind of plays up all the stereotypes.
23:15What do you think of Garfield taking some pot shots at your career of choice?
23:20Rightfully so.
23:21You know, it's, uh, I mean, John Arbogal had it coming.
23:26And especially every time, Sweeper with his name in it.
23:31And he just thinks he's the cock of the walk.
23:33He's too cool for school.
23:34Even his program manager loved him.
23:36Oh, they loved him.
23:37Yeah, his brand manager.
23:38He's, you're beautiful.
23:39You're great.
23:40Our next clip comes from the classic 80s cartoon, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
23:48And as you can see, Michelangelo is a really big fan of this radio station.
23:54Michelangelo is out of here.
24:05Oh, gosh.
24:09Shout out to Mikey for listening to the radio.
24:12I love it.
24:13Michelangelo, no more rock and roll.
24:15When you're playing stuff on the radio, like a really good song, do you picture your audience at home being just like this?
24:21The way Mikey's listening is how I hope everybody that's hearing me is listening, especially when I was doing my night show.
24:29It's always so cool when you hear stories from listeners about how they would have you on in their room while they're cranking out homework or while they're working out or whatever they're doing.
24:40Like, you know, it's such a good feeling knowing that you're a regular part of somebody's day.
24:46Like, that's the biggest compliment somebody can give me.
24:49Okay, kiddo cuties, shout out to us three-wolf-doodle pirate radio.
24:54W-O-O-F.
24:56Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof.
24:58But dudes, I'm listening to my main man, Dickie Bark, the woof man.
25:03And it's tune time.
25:04Woof, woof, woof.
25:06Wrong, wrong, wrong.
25:07It's snooze time.
25:09That bark guy's woofing is driving me out of my shell.
25:12But dudes, it's the numero uno station in the whole city.
25:15Just give it a listen.
25:16It'll grow on you.
25:18Yeah, like a fungus.
25:19I knew he was going to say like a fungus.
25:24Oh, come on.
25:26He just wants to support his local radio jock.
25:32Oh, sure.
25:33Make me sleep in the cold, wet sewer.
25:36Well, at least I've got Dickie Bark to keep me company.
25:39Not anymore.
25:41Oh.
25:41Fleabags are scratching their way up the charts.
25:44Fleabags are scratching their way up the charts.
25:47Woof, woof, woof.
25:48We've got enough to run.
25:50I've got enough to run.
25:51I've got enough to run because I've got enough to run to the beach.
25:53I've got enough to run to the beach.
25:53Oh, it's tremendous.
26:00The cotton in the ears.
26:02This is so good.
26:03This is Pirate Radio, W-O-O-F.
26:06Woof.
26:07Party time.
26:08All the time.
26:09Woof, woof, woof.
26:10You've heard him.
26:11So what's your thoughts on Dickie Bartz, the Wolfman?
26:16The Wolfman?
26:18Dickie Barf?
26:19Did you say his name was?
26:19Dickie Bartz.
26:20Oh, Bartz.
26:21He was tremendous.
26:23He was everything that I aspire to be.
26:26The other turtles do not seem to be a fan of this guy.
26:29I think he just did his job.
26:30I think he found his audience.
26:32He found his listeners, his P1s as we call them in the industry, and that's Mikey.
26:37Mikey is super into it.
26:40And if that's the person he's connecting with, then Dickie Bartz, he wins the game.
26:47He would look like this.
26:48And only Wolfman, Dickie Bartz.
26:52Woo!
26:53I loved his outfit.
26:54That was very, like, he was rocking, like, a zoot suit.
26:58He had this, like, streak down his hair.
27:01Like, he was, that guy was rock and roll, man.
27:04He knew what was up.
27:05I'm a fan.
27:07Here's the radical beat of a platter that's melting the old turntable.
27:10It's Dickie Bartz.
27:12People love this guy.
27:14He is rock and roll.
27:16Are you a big fan of all that woofing he's doing?
27:19Who does he think he is?
27:20Arsenio Hall?
27:21I did, yeah.
27:22I thought it was super fun shtick.
27:24I thought his delivery was great.
27:26He was really smooth.
27:26Look at him, you idiot!
27:29Turn that plastic thing off!
27:31We're trying, Craig.
27:33We're trying.
27:36Where's that rocket come from?
27:38The number one radio station in the city.
27:41Yeah, Craig.
27:42Everybody listen to W-O-O-F.
27:46Woof, woof, woof, woof.
27:47Everybody?
27:49How fortuitous.
27:51Hmm.
27:52I believe we're about to go into the radio biz.
27:56Now I'm really curious to hear Shredder take over the airwaves
28:00because I've always been a fan of his voice
28:02and what kind of maniacal things that he would say.
28:06I could picture Shredder trying to talk up like a Taylor Swift track or something.
28:11Don't give up your day jobs, you boobs.
28:14Boobs?
28:15And W-O-F is about to get a new DJ, The Slicer.
28:19Oh, no.
28:22Shredder as a DJ.
28:24First off, it's so funny to me, the W-O-O-F.
28:28I learned at one point, I think like halfway into my career,
28:32I'm like, why are some stations' call letters begin with a K
28:35and why do others begin with a W?
28:38And I learned that it's just like a coast thing.
28:41And to differentiate them, basically think of the Mississippi.
28:46Everything West starts with a K and everything East starts with a W.
28:51It's so funny how in the shows, it's always like W-O-O-F or W-something or rather, you know?
28:58Oh, yeah.
28:59This would be happening in New York, wouldn't it?
29:01I mean, it's accurate.
29:02Your thoughts on Shredder's DJ name, The Slicer.
29:06The Slicer.
29:08Yeah, not a good name.
29:09Shredder, much cooler name.
29:11Especially for like a rock station, right?
29:13The Shredder.
29:13Truth be told, even though he's evil, would you let Krang join the radio business?
29:20Krang should not get into the radio business.
29:22He has probably the worst voice that you could like listen to on your drive home from work.
29:29And he'd be like burping in your ear and stuff.
29:31It'd be nasty.
29:32J.R., you are way too judgmental.
29:36Our next clip comes from the TV show that you might have heard of.
29:41It's called The Simpsons.
29:43And it's when they meet Radio DJ 3000.
29:46This is the DJ 3000.
29:48It plays CDs automatically.
29:50And it has three distinct varieties of inane chatter.
29:54Hey, hey, how about that weather out there?
29:57Whoa, that was the caller from hell.
29:59Well, hot dog, we have a wiener.
30:03Man, that thing's great.
30:04That thing's great.
30:05A K-B-B-L.
30:06A machine.
30:07If you don't get that kid and elephant by tomorrow, the DJ 3000 gets your job.
30:12Wow.
30:13Looks like those clowns in Congress did it again.
30:16What a bunch of clowns.
30:19How's he keep up with the news like that?
30:20Realistically, even though they made it a joke here, how many DJs have you run into where
30:27they could definitely be replaced by the machine?
30:29And this was like in the late 90s.
30:32This is before AI actually could get scary good.
30:35You know what's spooky about that is AI is becoming a real thing, not only in the broadcasting
30:41industry, but everywhere.
30:43And if I recall correctly, there's a company in Canada.
30:47I won't say what company it is.
30:49They have their first ever AI only station.
30:52And essentially, it's just this girl's voice that they type up and it delivers all the
31:00breaks for them.
31:01And it's kind of eerie to think about, you know, it's that that, you know, age old thing.
31:05Oh, we're all going to be replaced by machines at some point.
31:08And it's like they kind of already are starting to do that.
31:13So so they're right.
31:14You shouldn't praise the machine, should you?
31:17The Simpsons are right again.
31:19Obviously, the only downfall is there's no emotion in the voice.
31:25There's no human connection, but it can it can basically do nearly everything.
31:29Make sure to like, follow and subscribe all three if you're feeling up to it.
31:34Again, my name is J.R.
31:35Thank you so much for watching.
31:36And remember, it's cool to be you.
31:39Peace.
