Episode 30 - Guaranty Broadcasting Radio Personality Bri Lynn

This week on The Sadvocate Podcast with Dave & Drew, we welcome BriLynn from Tiger 100.7 and Guaranty Media for a fun conversation about life in radio, country music, live broadcasting, celebrity interviews, working events, and balancing all of it with being a mom.

Dave and Drew ask BriLynn about hot mic moments, on-air mistakes, overplayed country songs, the artists she would choose during a Baton Rouge traffic jam, and whether fixing I-10 could spell the end of radio as we know it.

In the news segment, the guys break down Louisiana’s new law increasing penalties for repeat DWI offenders, a Baton Rouge arrest involving drugs, guns, DWI, and 147 mph driving, the St. Tammany sheriff bar tab controversy, Louisiana’s road rage ranking, insurance rate decreases, and a courthouse escape in West Baton Rouge.

Plus, listener texts are back with reactions to last week’s Chase Tyler interview, requests for more Baton Rouge musicians, and a few very Sadvocate-style questions.

New episodes of The Sadvocate Podcast with Dave & Drew are released every week on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and TheSadvocate.com.

SPEAKER_01 0:06

Welcome back. It's the Savaging Podcast for Dave and Drew. Episode number 30. 3-0. 3-0. No longer in our youth. No longer finding our way in the world. I gotta look back.

SPEAKER_04 0:22

I think I had a few people told me you'll never make it past show 15. I believe that.

SPEAKER_01 0:26

I believe that.

SPEAKER_04 0:27

Yeah, jokes on them.

SPEAKER_01 0:28

Ha ha! 30. Or was it past 15 listeners? Well, okay, maybe that might be strange.

SPEAKER_04 0:34

We got a dozen, so we're getting there.

SPEAKER_01 0:35

All right, so that's Dave Rapolo. He's a writer at the Savagate. My name is Drew Merle, St. George, City Councilman, local attorney. Uh, today, very special guest. I've known her longer than you. I've known her like two weeks. Yep, so I've got her longer than you. Breelyn from Tiger 100.7 uh and guarantee media. Low-key celeb, low-key celeb. Yeah, radio.

SPEAKER_00 0:59

I gosh, how long have I known Drew? We are going on ten years, I think, total.

SPEAKER_01 1:03

Ten.

SPEAKER_00 1:04

Because I got heard on that wink in 2017. So it's it wasn't longer than that. Yeah, I feel like I've been going way longer than that.

SPEAKER_04 1:14

Have you ever represented any cases before that? That might have been what it was. You're big trouble with the wall.

SPEAKER_00 1:19

No, we met from radio. I actually I did not meet Drew first. I met Libby first. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:24

Yeah, in the radio world at that point, you would have met the wife first because she was still working there and I was not. Uh I would just hang out like a um, I don't know, like a fanboy.

SPEAKER_00 1:34

He would just show up, ever Blue Moon, and walk around like you knew everybody.

SPEAKER_01 1:38

I'm like, true story. They did not change the they did not change the door security code for like five or six years after I left, so I could just walk in the side door and and I still had a locker for some reason. Uh had stuff in it still. And I did. I knew most of me, it wasn't like more people were working at the radio station. Less people over time.

unknown 2:02

Right.

SPEAKER_00 2:02

And now you go there's yeah.

SPEAKER_01 2:04

Now now I don't now I don't go there at all.

SPEAKER_00 2:07

I don't know who's who's there now. But do you still have a code, Giro?

SPEAKER_01 2:10

No, the code does not work. Yeah, I did try it at some point. True story. You stop by and try the code. Not only did I have a code to the door, but the computer system, and you don't know this. That computer system back then had a backdoor code that the the company, the actual company's IT department set up to backdoor into the system that gave you access to everything. I had that for a long time. So I could dial in and do anything. I don't do that anymore. I don't do that.

SPEAKER_00 2:36

Gosh, Bob Murphy really trusted you.

SPEAKER_01 2:38

That is gone now as well. He took all my fun access away. Um now I'm just, you know, a regular citizen like the rest of the year.

SPEAKER_04 2:47

Just an attorney, just a lowly attorney. So Bree Lynn, Tiger 100.7, what else do you do for guarantee?

SPEAKER_00 2:53

I am the creative manager at Guarantee Media, and I am right under Michelle Southern, and I wear all sorts of hats.

SPEAKER_01 3:00

So as a creative manager, do you just often run into random rooms and go, I've got an idea? That sounds like that sounds like what the job should should be.

SPEAKER_00 3:08

I would say yes. And for the most part, because my brain goes, and you know this from radio, Drew, the brain goes an 80 million direction. So when I think I have a good idea, my brain just doesn't catch up with me. So for the most part, I'll be midsen it. And Michelle's like, you didn't think that out, did you? No. It's just I feel like I I wear all the hats, and to some degree I do. Um, I really don't help out with ESPN. Um, that one's kind of taken care of by Matt Muscona, Alondra, the AFR crew.

SPEAKER_01 3:36

I agree.

SPEAKER_00 3:37

Um, yeah, they do their own thing, but I help out Eagle 98.1, talk 1073, and 100.7.

SPEAKER_01 3:44

I think you should spend a week just randomly running in and just blurting out ideas and leaving because you didn't say create doing manager, it's just creative manager. So you just generate the idea and walk out.

SPEAKER_04 3:55

Yeah, just print it out and drop it on somebody's desk and go, look at this, and just walk right up.

SPEAKER_01 3:59

Scotty Mack, have you thought about this?

SPEAKER_00 4:01

It's just shut the door and just leave.

SPEAKER_04 4:03

So 107.3, you work with Hal Dane in the morning. Is that what you're doing?

SPEAKER_00 4:06

Yes, I do. It's a fun little role.

SPEAKER_04 4:08

You know, like babysitting, is he tough to work with?

SPEAKER_00 4:11

No, I wouldn't say he's tough to work with. I will say this he can be hard on me at times. But yes, seriously, believe it or not, because if I mess up, he kind of takes it hard.

SPEAKER_01 4:24

Well, it does make him look bad if you mess up.

SPEAKER_00 4:27

Right. I am his producer. I have to be on my P's and Q's.

SPEAKER_01 4:29

You ever been yelled at by Jimmy Ott?

SPEAKER_00 4:31

No, Jimmy Ott yells.

SPEAKER_01 4:33

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 4:33

Oh, I haven't seen Brian.

SPEAKER_01 4:34

When you're producing his show and you screw it up, he'll yell at you.

SPEAKER_00 4:36

Oh no. See, Brian doesn't yell at me. Brian will he'll just make faces.

SPEAKER_01 4:41

You know, Brian's kind of parent that I feel like wouldn't yell, but he'd look at you and go, I'm really disappointed right now. No, he doesn't even say that.

SPEAKER_00 4:48

He doesn't say, Can I curse? Is it okay to curse? Yeah, I mean, to some degree.

SPEAKER_01 4:52

Depends on what it is.

SPEAKER_00 4:52

He doesn't say shit. Like he he doesn't say anything. That's the worst. So when we're in the break, if we go to a commercial break, kind of see it because it's live stream on Facebook.

SPEAKER_04 5:03

You can watch it.

SPEAKER_00 5:05

He curses the lips and he's Yeah, and he kind of like he'll let a few things go, but if I keep messing up for the rest of the show, ooh.

SPEAKER_01 5:12

Uh sometimes with that, once you hit that first one, that first flub, it makes me nervous. It's all downhill from there. It's like, let's just get through this show.

SPEAKER_04 5:20

Has he ever said something like, Will you please stop? They're gonna think this is like this advocate podcast, some crazy, no production, whatever. This is a real show. Yeah, yeah. This is a real show.

SPEAKER_00 5:29

He hasn't used that yet.

SPEAKER_02 5:31

Got like six listeners, they got like four. It's just a real deal. We don't even have real sponsor signs up. Not yet. Not yet. Not yet. Not yet, although.

SPEAKER_00 5:39

But I've been on Brian's show since full time since December. So I've been doing this thing for a few months now. And Brian and I have learned each other a lot because you know you spend three hours in a room with somebody, live radio, which not a lot of radio stations are live anymore.

SPEAKER_01 5:55

Um so I can ask you what that actually means because I haven't heard that term in a while.

SPEAKER_00 6:00

Live radio. We I get there, Brian Halliday, gosh, he gets there 3:45. No, he's he gets up at 345. He will get to the radio station about five. He will start show prepping. I'll show up about 5.15, 5.30. I have been lately, um, later than I want to be. And then I'll start on his producing part, so his audio elements that he's gonna play during his show, and I'll start pulling all of the all of that in studio, and then we go live at six o'clock, meaning the board gets out of automation. And if you don't hit a button, you are dead air, which you don't get that anymore in radio world.

SPEAKER_01 6:34

You know, but you would think as a radio DJ, I'm taking this job because you know, maybe I like to talk or play music, but maybe I'm just a slacker who wanted an easy job. And then you get on the morning show and you're like, oh crap, I have to be here at four in the morning. I'm doing it all wrong. I thought I'd sleep in till noon, come do an afternoon show and call it at you know seven o'clock. I'm looking for a place to go have a drink. And now I'm here at four in the morning. It sucks. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 7:03

It's still taking me a while to get used to my schedule. It is. If I don't get in bed by 10, 11 o'clock, my whole day's shot the next day.

SPEAKER_04 7:09

Yeah, because you you've been like with when you were DJ, that's a night shift. You do Texas Club nighttime. You've never done early mornings.

SPEAKER_00 7:16

When I was at 94.5 KSMB and Lafayette, I started top 40 in Lafayette. I was afternoon drive. Yeah. I was middays at one point. I did mornings for a hot minute, but mainly as a fill-in. I've never been a permanent morning. So this is my first morning morning.

SPEAKER_01 7:30

It's an adjustment.

SPEAKER_00 7:31

It's an adjustment. I don't I don't know how you did it, Drew. What what time would you get there?

SPEAKER_01 7:36

No, to be fair, I I got there probably at 5 a.m., maybe at the earliest.

SPEAKER_00 7:40

Okay. It's starting to be.

SPEAKER_01 7:41

Our show was well laid out the day before, so we didn't have a lot of those uh issues that morning. We just go in when we get there. I worked with an award-winning morning show that's on God, maybe 80 stations now.

SPEAKER_00 7:54

Oh, I know.

SPEAKER_01 7:55

I know.

SPEAKER_00 7:56

I was about to say we we won awards too, but local awards.

SPEAKER_01 7:59

Big timers over there. Big timers. Last people in the building.

SPEAKER_00 8:02

Big timers. What we've seen in a broadcasting five years in a row, I believe. Best election coverage.

SPEAKER_01 8:07

Best election coverage at 1073.

SPEAKER_00 8:10

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 8:10

Which is awesome because I mean I don't know who else enters the category at this point.

SPEAKER_00 8:14

No, just Howie.

SPEAKER_04 8:16

Speaking of live on the air, tell us have you ever had a good hot mic moment on any of your shows? What'll be the best one without getting yourself in any legal trouble?

SPEAKER_01 8:25

Yeah, repeating it would be awesome.

SPEAKER_00 8:27

Hey, what that one time. I know, but then the FCC comes against me.

SPEAKER_04 8:30

The FCC doesn't care about us. I don't even think they exist anymore. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 8:35

I'm trying to think, y'all. Um recent with Brian.

SPEAKER_04 8:39

Period. Period. One you can think of that you're like, oh my God.

SPEAKER_00 8:43

I would say the worst is I let Brian grab him right down. The S-H-I-T word. Yeah. Yes.

SPEAKER_04 8:53

Never do that.

SPEAKER_00 8:54

Accidentally, and I didn't realize that the button was not pushed. Because when we go in the break, to keep us live on Facebook, because the show still runs on YouTube and Facebook, you have to make sure that button is taken out of program one. Because if it's not, it's going on the air. Well, guess who forgot to take the button out of program one?

SPEAKER_02 9:11

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 9:12

So when I've noticed that during the breaks on Facebook, the mic's still hot. I hear him and like Franz talking or whatever. Is that what you're talking about? Are you talking about the on air?

SPEAKER_00 9:21

Like Correct. So when we're just randomly yapping our jaws, or it'll be an awkward silence, or Brian will look a certain way, or he'll kind of look over at me. We're on Facebook.

SPEAKER_04 9:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 9:32

Most of the time. If it kind of looks awkward, it's because we're not on the air at the moment.

SPEAKER_04 9:36

Oh, I can tell.

SPEAKER_00 9:37

Brian has tried to include me more during interviews, but if it's too newsy, especially with, say, carbon capture things I don't know about, I will stay hands-off. But he's been trying to evolve me more in the air. And learning news talk is something that I'm still trying to learn. It's different. It's a different animal.

SPEAKER_01 9:56

So when you when he talks about carbon capture, do you think it's like the extra sheets of paper behind the paper and you're gonna rip off and give them the carbon copy?

SPEAKER_00 10:03

That that's what I'm I'm like, what's carbon capture? I'm like, I don't or uh secretion or whatever it is.

SPEAKER_01 10:10

Sequestration. Sequestration. Sequestration. So the good thing about that is though, I I would actually treat that as an advantage. Absolutely. You don't have any preconceived notion, you don't have any bias, and they should be able to sell it to you because you're learning it for the first time. And if they can sell it to you, they win. That's how they should learn to work with their listener, their audience. That's great.

SPEAKER_04 10:32

And to help you out, they are planning on capturing all the carbon emissions coming from chemical plants and everything else and injected it into the ground. I know that I would put it in balloons. So there you go, that's it.

SPEAKER_01 10:44

Why can't we put it in balloons and let them float off? Look, Brian balloons last week.

SPEAKER_00 10:48

People take that one topic and make the most bomb interview about that one topic. I don't know how he does it. It's the most boring topic to me, but he made it so interesting.

SPEAKER_04 10:57

He did a pretty good interview here.

SPEAKER_01 10:59

He did a great job here. He was a lot of fun here. I think he talked good about Brie here. No, no, he wouldn't do that.

SPEAKER_04 11:06

He wouldn't be able to do that. Oh, that was the other Britney he was talking good about. There's two of y'all, right? At one or two of us.

SPEAKER_00 11:11

There's a blonde Britney and there's Brie.

SPEAKER_04 11:15

Does she have more fun than you, or is it?

SPEAKER_00 11:17

Well, she's pregnant right now, so she can't be having that much fun. She had fun once. Right?

SPEAKER_04 11:21

At least once. And you have you have three boys. Three boys.

SPEAKER_00 11:25

We have the nine-year-old. No, and the twins are seven.

SPEAKER_01 11:30

Good lord.

SPEAKER_00 11:31

She's crazy. Drew knew me when I was pregnant with Colston. Sure. My oldest.

SPEAKER_01 11:34

Sure. For a while I just thought you were just pregnant all the time. Um. So with twin. I was though. Twin boys. Now she actually watches the Netflix movie. It's great. Uh with twin boys, what is that like on a regular basis? Just pure, I can just see chaos and like going to one of those smash rooms where people are just throwing things everywhere.

SPEAKER_00 11:56

Seriously, that that's kind of the phase we're we're in right now. I don't know what it is, but they are starting to get moody. Our twin.

SPEAKER_03 12:04

Really?

SPEAKER_00 12:05

Yes. We have uh identical twin boys, which I can definitely tell them apart. When they were little, their first year of life, I had to put little anklets on their feet to be able to tell them apart with their name. And they have been the most loving guys for the longest time. But what, whatever it is over the past year, they will love, but they will hate each other just as much. And so we're in summer break right now with nothing, nothing's going on. They will beat each other up, steal things from each other, smash each other in the walls. The other day I'm sitting there, one of the twins took his leg out like a cartoon, stuck it out, tripped his twin brother off the bed. The other twin goes rolling, and so I'm like, this is the age we're in.

SPEAKER_01 12:47

Do you become disappointed when that happens? Because shouldn't the other twin have felt that coming? That's true. Oh, the leg is gonna be out. I'm gonna step over it. I'll show you. You will know. I mean, where is that twin intuition? Twin tuition.

SPEAKER_00 13:02

That's what I'm saying. They do have the same language. Uh, when they were little, I love telling this story. No way one of my twins should have heard one of his brothers or his other twin crying from the other room. Doors were shut, we were trying to put the other one down for a nap. The babysitter got on video, the twin looking up, couldn't could barely speak at the time. They're just learning language. And he's looking around and he goes, Rero, where are you? He knew his brother was crying. There's no way he should have knew he was crying. But that's that twin tuition or intuition, I should say.

SPEAKER_02 13:34

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 13:35

It's crazy. But right now, for whatever reason, all bets are off. They are going at it. It's just, and I hope it's not like this.

SPEAKER_04 13:43

Is it hard? Is it harder to manage three kids or being a creative manager at guarantee? What's you know?

SPEAKER_00 13:51

Today was a very long day. I did not get to leave till two o'clock today. Um, got rushed home, ate lunch at like 2 30, tried to get here for the podcast.

SPEAKER_04 13:59

You still be Drew.

SPEAKER_00 14:00

I know, I still be Drew today. I would say, and Drew can probably attest to this too from being on radio as long as he has too. You get used to it, even though I'm still learning new things every day. Because when I mean I'm still learning a new system, it's just different. iHeart, when I was there in Cumulus, when I was there, they have their own programs. Guarantee we have our own programs, but for the most part, it's like riding a bike. I'm like, oh, this feels familiar. I know what this is. Like it's just I get in my routine. So, yes, every day may be a little difficult in some ways, but I would say being a mom's harder. For me, being a mom's harder.

SPEAKER_01 14:34

You can't just run into the room and throw out an idea to the kids and just leave.

SPEAKER_00 14:38

I have an idea in the mind.

SPEAKER_01 14:39

Hey, you know what? I think y'all should shut up and go to bed. I'm leaving.

SPEAKER_04 14:42

And on the same note, you can't walk into a company meeting and just knock the crap out of someone.

SPEAKER_00 14:46

No.

SPEAKER_04 14:47

If Michelle Sutherland's you know acting on you can't just kick her, right? You know, punish her.

SPEAKER_00 14:51

You are in trouble now.

SPEAKER_02 14:53

Give me your cell phone. Give me your phone right now.

unknown 14:56

Right?

SPEAKER_00 14:56

Right. No, being a mom is definitely harder because oh, also on the note with the attitude, Reeves, for whatever reason, he's one of my twins. I have Rowan, I have Reeves. Colston is the one, he's my nine years old. Um, my nine-year-old, he's the oldest. Reeves is the twin. He is the one with the attitude. I keep mentioning. I don't know what stage we're in.

SPEAKER_01 15:17

Where do you think he gets that from?

unknown 15:18

Mom.

SPEAKER_01 15:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 15:19

And and dad. I'm feisty. I'm I'm a Native American, so I'm feisty.

SPEAKER_01 15:23

Exactly right. Feisty.

SPEAKER_00 15:24

He has been doing this grunt.

SPEAKER_01 15:27

Are you half Cherokee and Choctaw?

SPEAKER_00 15:28

I'm one four of Cherokee and Choctaw.

SPEAKER_01 15:31

Sorry, I've been going through a song. Yes, uh, I can't help. Every time I think of that, that's all I think about.

SPEAKER_00 15:36

Right.

SPEAKER_01 15:37

That that and uh something else. Uh Indian Child Welfare.

SPEAKER_00 15:40

Indian outlaw by Tim McGraw. I had to think about it for a minute. But we were getting off subject. What I was thinking was Reeves, he would grunt now. So I fussed him and I said, Stop doing that. I'm like, stop.

SPEAKER_01 15:51

Well, you know, that's the true language of guys. Like, if y'all didn't, if women didn't exist, we would only speak through a series of grunting noises that communicate all the things that we're doing. It could probably be sports, clubbing each other, and and probably drinking. Um so yeah, so you're getting to experience what it's like at the beginning before we become refined like we are now.

SPEAKER_00 16:13

Refined gentlemen. See, and I have all guys at my house. I have the husband, I have the three boys, my dog is a German shepherd. The cats are males. I mean, the the dog is a boy, is what I'm saying. German shepherd, too, which doesn't help. But I have all guys in my house.

SPEAKER_01 16:30

It's weird.

SPEAKER_00 16:30

So how do you corral men? I'm learning.

SPEAKER_01 16:35

I mean, there's there's some there's some subtle ways to do it. But um usually food. Food helps, right? Sports, all ages, dog age. We're all really simple creatures. When you survey men, you find out that all of our interests are generally the exact same. No matter whether they fear food and put the game on. Yeah, I mean, women, food. Yeah, I mean, we're pretty singular focused. We're easy to figure out. I mean, we're not rocket science, we're pretty similar.

SPEAKER_04 16:59

Tell us who is the most famous person you ever interviewed. Because you you've interviewed some pretty pretty big stars, right? I mean, besides Drew.

SPEAKER_00 17:06

Actually, interviewed. Do you want to know who I met that's the most famous or who I interviewed? Who neither one who I met, Garth Brutz. Cool as can be. Just a cool cat. Um, we were backstage at a radio room, and uh, for people who don't know what a radio room is, it's like when you go to these concerts with these big artists, you got Luke Bryan, I mean Taylor Swift, if she still does them, and they'll have the um catacall, meet and greets, where they'll get back and say Dave or say Drew, and then you'll catacol, you'll meet for 30 seconds and go on your way. Radio room's different. They will put programmers, us radio people in a room, and they'll actually sit down the artists, maybe share food, a beverage with you, actually talk to you for a while. And so I was able to do that with Garth. And he handed me, I remember we were sitting backstage and he comes out with this party platter size of peanut MMs, and he's like, Eminem? He's like, How are you? He's like, What do you do? I was pregnant with Colson at the time, so that was cool. I went to Luke Bryan's Super Bowl party at his house, which is pretty cool. And he was drinking and playing games, and he came get a selfie with us. It's just you get to meet these people as people, not celebrities. Keith Urban's one of them, I meant.

SPEAKER_01 18:20

Mo uh most overrated celebrity. Oh god. I did a country one um near the end with Florida Georgia line.

SPEAKER_00 18:31

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01 18:32

Awful.

SPEAKER_00 18:33

See how lovely?

SPEAKER_01 18:34

They are awful.

SPEAKER_00 18:35

I loved meeting FGL.

SPEAKER_01 18:36

I'm telling you now, if if I had Libby on the phone right now, she'd tell you number one least favorite, Florida Georgia. Get her on the phone. Would not want to be around them, did not like them. We left early, did not enjoy living.

SPEAKER_00 18:49

Seriously.

SPEAKER_01 18:49

They talked about how expensive their shoes were the entire time. They were just, oh my God, they were terrible.

SPEAKER_00 18:57

So I really I got a chance to meet FGL. So did my dad. We loved them, they were wonderful. Now, I'll tell you the one I did not like, and I may get I hear she's better, but Miranda Lambert.

SPEAKER_01 19:09

Uh, I'm not gonna take anyone talking bad about my friend Miranda. Oh, this interview's over. That's it. Native Texan from my area of the world. You're lucky she probably didn't listen to the show, even though Drew was her friend with her.

SPEAKER_00 19:21

I hate it. Well, go ahead. I hate it because she was going through fresh off of the divorce with Blake.

SPEAKER_01 19:27

She got a lot going on.

SPEAKER_00 19:29

Yeah. It was by You Country Superfest, the year that it rained, it was storming outside. You have Blake, I believe that was the first night. Miranda was the second night. So, fresh out of this divorce, you throw them on Bayou Country Superfest, which didn't help. And I don't know, it was very awkward. I'll tell you what happened. So I was a huge Miranda fan. I was very polite. I was the program director of Wink at the time. And big and pregnant with Colston, I'm probably a month out. I'm ready to pop any moment now. And I kind of stretch out my hand. I said, It's so good to meet you. I'm a I'm a huge fan. I said, Not only do I program, but I'm a huge fan. She goes, Okay. My dad kind of looked at me. He's like, damn. I know. And it's it was awkward.

SPEAKER_01 20:10

Everything you said in the sentence was very impressive at that moment.

SPEAKER_00 20:12

No, and I think it kind of her response struck me as I'm burnt out. Not necessarily I'm being rude.

SPEAKER_01 20:19

Tired of being here tonight.

SPEAKER_00 20:20

Yeah, tired of being here tonight. And then we met Blake, I think the next night, and we did the radio room with him. Coolest guy. He's like, You need vodka? Because you know he has the vodka line. I forget what old Red was his vodka. And he's like, Oh, you need to be topped off. And he looked at my cup and he's like, So good to meet you. He's like, How are you? I'm like, hey, I like him. I was like, now I've taken his side now.

SPEAKER_01 20:40

Right. Never liked her anyway.

SPEAKER_00 20:43

But she looks happier now. Yeah. She it seems like now that she's remarried to the cop out of New York City. I believe she's been with him six or seven years now.

SPEAKER_01 20:53

He's going down that Winona Judd path of you keep marrying people until they get to like security level. Uh and you just keep marrying people and figure it out eventually. You know, if you don't first, you don't succeed the third, fifth time, you'll get there.

SPEAKER_00 21:04

Right. I think though, Dave, to answer your question, the most famous interview, Aaron Carter, before he passed away.

SPEAKER_01 21:11

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:13

I was I know. I know what's that song? The party with Aaron Carter.

SPEAKER_01 21:17

I got a lot going on. So Aaron Carter. I brought Aaron Carter out at Blue Bayou back in the day. The same day his dad apparently allegedly hits his mom.

unknown 21:28

What?

SPEAKER_01 21:29

Domestic violence, which led into like him getting away from them and kind of going off on his own, which got even worse. I see him again in Beaumont and he's got groupies, which I I'd never seen teenage. I mean, at the time, like I'd never seen, like, how are you allowing your teenage daughter to run free at this arena like a groupie? And clearly that was okay. Uh my god. A lot of going on with Aaron Carter. I spent a lot of time with Aaron.

SPEAKER_00 21:54

When when Aaron came in, y'all, he was on something. I was still in top forty at the time, laughing at. And he was like, Can I go to the bathroom? And then he was like, I think I need to sit down. And that was before we even did the interview. And I'm looking at Bobby Dobisad. He might laugh at this because I was feeling important show at the time. And it was just awkward. He was totally on something. And I felt bad. And then obviously years later he passed. But he was playing uh Cajun Hartley in State Fair in Lafayette. That was that was interesting.

SPEAKER_01 22:23

Aaron Carter.

SPEAKER_02 22:24

Yeah, I didn't see that coming, did you? Aaron Carter. Aaron Carter. No. Well, you talked about Garth Brooks. I figured that's a that's a huge, yeah, huge lot.

SPEAKER_01 22:33

Garth? Aaron Garth had some Pinot Demon S with Garth Brooks.

SPEAKER_00 22:39

There we go. Aaron Carter, Garth Brooks.

SPEAKER_01 22:41

Doesn't happen very and Brian Ald.

SPEAKER_00 22:42

Ryan DeLambert and Brian Aldane.

SPEAKER_01 22:46

Brian Aldane. And Brian Alday. Hey, Wade Evans. Oh Lord. Because he needs to be mentioned at least once every episode, or I feel like we've neglected him.

SPEAKER_04 22:56

If you had the authority to ban one of the most overplayed country songs, what would it be? What is the one that you would just absolutely put in jail? Just stop with this song.

SPEAKER_00 23:07

Oh God.

SPEAKER_04 23:09

You can lie, you can lie because I don't listen to country, so I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 23:12

Right now, Stella Lefty Boston. She's look, don't get me wrong. I see why she is what she is on country radio right now. And Jimmy Brooks, he may be like, What are you saying? But Stella Lefty, she got big on TikTok. I don't understand it, but I'm following her lead. And um I want to say that we might have her in power rotation right now. Which we don't know what power rotation is every three to four hours on country radio.

SPEAKER_04 23:40

Power rotation.

SPEAKER_00 23:41

If I had to dig into the toolbox of older country songs, God, I wouldn't even know. I I'm just gonna go with Stella Levitty and Boston.

SPEAKER_01 23:52

So the difference between different formats, and if you ever thought a top 40 station plays songs too often, the power rotation on a top 40 song could be 45 minutes. Yeah. You hear the same song every 45 minutes.

SPEAKER_04 24:05

That's insane.

SPEAKER_01 24:06

Because they know the audience turns over that fast.

SPEAKER_00 24:09

It does. So country is it depends on what market, but our medium-sized market, three to four hours, top 40, 45 minutes to an hour. It was hard over.

SPEAKER_01 24:20

But but to be fair, when you say that, you hear these songs like but I hear it every day.

SPEAKER_00 24:24

Oh, that's right. That's right. That's why I'm burnt out on it.

SPEAKER_01 24:27

You know, Christmas music I have a very hard time listening to. I spent about a decade hearing it from October through Christmas. There's not a Mariah Carey song I haven't heard. There is not a version of Silent Night I haven't heard. It, you know, you get burned out on it. Any anytime like if you ever worked at a restaurant, you always want to work at a restaurant you hate working at. Because the moment you work at one you like, you're never gonna eat there again. You're gonna see something you don't like, smell something you don't like, or get tired of seeing it all the time. True. And you'll never go back.

SPEAKER_00 25:02

That's very true.

SPEAKER_01 25:03

A lot of wisdom today on my show. My version.

SPEAKER_00 25:06

Oh, his show.

SPEAKER_01 25:08

It's Dave Ripolo's show. I just hang out and provide microphones.

SPEAKER_00 25:11

Wade Evans, too.

SPEAKER_01 25:12

And Wade Evans. Well, Wade's a part of everybody's show.

SPEAKER_04 25:15

Yeah, we we understand that uh Wade Evans might be um working with you in the near future. Is that something we can talk about? Or is that like a big surprise?

SPEAKER_00 25:23

Yeah, Brian is taking some much needed time off. So we're gonna have some temporary host in next week. Would have been Drew Mural.

SPEAKER_01 25:30

Will it be the whole week? Will it be the whole week next week?

SPEAKER_00 25:33

No, just Monday through Thursday.

SPEAKER_01 25:35

So who's coming up next week? Let's hear about who we got passed over for.

SPEAKER_00 25:38

Uh wait, Evan.

SPEAKER_01 25:39

Wait, hold up. We got passed over? Well, we only got offered one day. I could have done Monday. Monday wouldn't. Who got Monday? Franz?

SPEAKER_00 25:48

Uh no, Franz has Wednesday.

SPEAKER_01 25:49

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_00 25:50

Um Hackeye has Thursday. Hackeye Davis.

SPEAKER_04 25:54

Well, you gotta be an attorney to get on this, and they they passed over the best attorney in Baton Rouge right here.

SPEAKER_01 26:01

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_04 26:03

Dude, I think Haldaine did that on purpose.

SPEAKER_01 26:05

I think he did too.

SPEAKER_04 26:07

Just for when he returns, he's got like a day's worth of jokes there. You you know.

SPEAKER_00 26:11

Every time I turn around, I'm like, get true, get through. And he's like, I'm trying.

SPEAKER_04 26:14

Well, let's get the mayor who has let's get the mayor who has no radio experience over the attorney who doesn't. Yeah, Wade will just come in. Over the attorney who had me on his show and has radio experience. I mean, let's pick Wade Evans.

SPEAKER_01 26:25

If you're talking about giving a little because you got a little, yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Does Halday live in Central? Does he have a pothole he needs to put it in or something? Maybe he's afraid.

SPEAKER_00 26:32

Oh, he lives near me. He lives in Sherwood.

SPEAKER_04 26:34

If we fill in, oh, that's right. What happened? Sabicate fills in. What's happening? Was it Drew Merle or Drew and Dave?

SPEAKER_00 26:42

I was offering up us. I thought you were Dave and Drew. It's Dave and Drew.

SPEAKER_01 26:47

Well, it depends on who you're talking to first, because right, if you if I'm looking at him, it's Dave and Drew.

SPEAKER_04 26:51

Yeah. Yeah. So I mean he is a writer at the Saturday. 100%. Why would I not? 100% how they knew if if we hit the air one time. Michelle Southern would have called and said, Listen, Brian, we got a big problem here. It's over. The phone lines are lighting up.

SPEAKER_00 27:05

Right. He is very complimentary of um Drew because I asked him, I was like, gosh, I think y'all would be so good together. And he's like, no, we are. Because he was saying y'all being y'all chemistry.

SPEAKER_01 27:16

I actually so historical knowledge. I actually thought Brian and I would get that show together, and they said no. Because they just wanted Brian.

SPEAKER_00 27:27

I'm missing story time. You already talked about this.

SPEAKER_01 27:29

This is the second time you've been dissed from Talk 107.3. I mean, Guarantee hates. Gordy Rush hates me. I don't know what is. What? I think Gordy hates me. I think that's news. I don't actually, honestly, I don't think. In fact, I think he thinks so little of me. I don't even think he remembers me half the time. Every time I meet him, it's like the first time he's ever met me. Did you ever have to sue him for something? No. I've never sued Guarantee for anything.

SPEAKER_04 27:49

I'm talking about him personally. No. You ever have repo one of his cars or you know what?

SPEAKER_01 27:54

He looked just like a guy we used to work with, uh, Kevin. And so Kevin Gallagher? No. Kevin, Kevin uh Martucci.

unknown 28:03

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 28:03

Oh, Gartinez.

SPEAKER_01 28:05

So he used to look like Kevin, and it was like, that was always our run and joke. Y'all look kind of like, and I don't think I don't think you liked that.

SPEAKER_00 28:11

So that's why he hates you. Maybe.

SPEAKER_01 28:13

I could be a long list. It's weird. I mean, you you can hate me for lots of things these days. Reading, all kinds of good stuff. It's good. Man, I can't believe you got passed over for the show. Yeah, we got passed. We're a package deal on that. I wasn't gonna go if you weren't going.

SPEAKER_00 28:27

It was gonna be you two days.

SPEAKER_01 28:28

I don't think I was thinking maybe it's you.

SPEAKER_04 28:31

Could be. I have no radio.

SPEAKER_00 28:34

And it was just gonna be Drew and you were just gonna show up.

SPEAKER_04 28:36

I absolutely'm not showing up. I don't do radio.

SPEAKER_01 28:38

I mean, wake up early? You don't have to do that with your leisure.

SPEAKER_04 28:41

I'm up before her, four o'clock. Making things happen. I just can't believe that he selected Wade over. I'm telling you, that was absolute. He's been listening to our podcast. That was an absolute slap. The old Wade up? I'm telling you, he's like, if I can get Evans, man, that's great.

SPEAKER_01 28:56

You know who he can't get? Baker Mayer. Baker Mayer. Darnell Waits. Nobody can. We can't get him. Darnell wants to get him. We can't get him.

SPEAKER_00 29:04

You won't go on the show.

SPEAKER_01 29:04

Can you get Darnell on our show? You know him?

SPEAKER_00 29:07

I can try to get Darnell on the show.

SPEAKER_01 29:09

We just want to ask him about barbershops. I've emailed City Hall twice, they never replied. Why is he mad about barber shops? That's what I want to know. And and you're welcome for the state fair. Yeah, that's right. We kicked it to him. Look how much we do for the city of Baker. We love Baker on the podcast. Yeah. That's great. So what are you doing for the country station? So we talked about 107.3. We've alluded to 100.7.

SPEAKER_00 29:34

So I have the night show on 100.7. For the first time in my radio career, um, I'm able to be on nights, which is fun. It's super fun. So I'm on the air 6P to 10 P, and then I have a feature during my show, which is in the eight o'clock hour, which I talk everything from pop culture, what's trending on Netflix, etc. etc. It's called Real Talk. And so this week I covered the Michael Jackson um the verdict on Netflix. That was a hard watch. Holy crap, wasn't it?

SPEAKER_04 30:05

Michael Jackson.

SPEAKER_00 30:05

Yeah, no, because I'm a human.

SPEAKER_04 30:06

I thought it was current news.

SPEAKER_00 30:08

No, here's the deal with that. The show just came out. The show just came out.

SPEAKER_01 30:12

The Michael Jackson show? It's a it's a whole series. Yeah, he's not alive. Breaking.

SPEAKER_02 30:17

I don't know if you knew that either. This just in. That's my entire point. You're talking about the Michael Jackson depth.

SPEAKER_04 30:22

It was like 1985 or something.

SPEAKER_01 30:24

In the bid to find content for these services, they are literally releasing something every five minutes, and it's not necessarily good. It's just a bunch of crap to put out to fill time.

SPEAKER_04 30:35

Who picked the Michael Jackson topic for Tiger 100.7?

SPEAKER_01 30:41

Why could you not talk about that?

SPEAKER_00 30:43

And here's why, Dave.

SPEAKER_01 30:45

She's a creative manager, Dave. That's true. She walked in with Michael Jackson.

SPEAKER_00 30:48

They were like, I have an idea.

SPEAKER_02 30:50

What does that mean? I don't know. Let's see what happens.

SPEAKER_00 30:54

That is the point of real. Stop it. I can't even. So that's the point of real talk. What everyone's talking about. People are talking about this documentary right now.

SPEAKER_01 31:02

She ran in the stall and said, Jimmy Brooks, Michael Jackson. And ran out, and he just like, What? I feel like you should throw the- I have an idea.

SPEAKER_04 31:10

Can you do can you do five minutes on the Savicate on that real talk? Because I feel like we get more coverage of Michael Jackson and Baton Ray.

SPEAKER_01 31:16

Sure. Tell me more about Michael Jackson.

SPEAKER_04 31:19

Did he do it?

SPEAKER_02 31:20

Listen up, country fans.

SPEAKER_03 31:21

Did he not do it? Did he take it?

SPEAKER_02 31:22

Billy Jean is not my lover. So being a huge Billy Jean. And how old is Billy Jean? Billy Jean, he drives a truck, doesn't he? No, it's she. She didn't see that coming.

unknown 31:33

Oh god.

SPEAKER_00 31:34

Being a huge MJ fan, I am. It was the hardest thing to watch because there was the things about the verdict in the trial. I never heard these stories before. The bits, it's just it was a hard watch. It's a three-part mini-series on Netflix right now. And so everybody's talking about it. It's even trending on Twitter. I was like, I got an idea.

SPEAKER_01 31:59

That's right. She didn't even come up with a creative idea. She got it off, you know, whatever was trending. Use what you got. That's right.

SPEAKER_00 32:05

So it's fun. And so I kind of like deep dive into all sorts of topics. Uh pop culture, whatever you want. It's trending. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 32:11

You talk for the whole hour? Or what time? How long is that good?

SPEAKER_00 32:14

The way the music uh stations work.

SPEAKER_01 32:16

Are you about to ruin this for everybody? Yes.

SPEAKER_00 32:19

I'm gonna ruin it for everyone. Michael Jackson on a country station probably starts. Michael Jackson, I'll play Billy Jean on the country station.

SPEAKER_01 32:24

Hey, David Lee Roth had a country album.

SPEAKER_00 32:26

Yep. And so did Garth Brooks. He had a pop album, then went country.

SPEAKER_01 32:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 32:31

No rock. It was rock.

SPEAKER_01 32:32

Rock is right.

SPEAKER_00 32:33

Um so on the country stations, you will probably only get four to five minutes of talking to him. And that's being generous.

SPEAKER_01 32:40

Somebody's mad at you if you talk that long.

SPEAKER_00 32:41

Right, right. And that's for the whole hour. So typically what happens is within the first two to three minutes, you will have an intro to a song. So 10 seconds at maths over the intro of a song. Then you'll go into what they call a stop set, which is the commercials that we hear. Before you get into the commercials, you have about a minute to two-minute talk over. And that's where I talk about Michael Jatson.

SPEAKER_01 33:04

Whenever she wants.

SPEAKER_00 33:05

Right. You'll get through the commercials, play maybe two songs, have another intro into a song, ten seconds once again. Play two or three songs, get into another commercial break. And then before you get into that commercial break, you have that two-minute talk over again. So total eight minutes, five minutes, maybe that's being very generous for um amusement station compared two talk minutes.

SPEAKER_04 33:29

No, right. It's all talk.

SPEAKER_00 33:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 33:31

That's why you gotta choose wisely when you go into radio and go talk station so you can talk more. Yep. Way better.

SPEAKER_04 33:40

Well, Brittany, we are so glad you came out today. This has been really fun getting to know you.

SPEAKER_03 33:46

You had like a whole list of questions.

SPEAKER_04 33:48

Very creative. Well, a lot of these I don't even use. A lot of these, we um, since we um we have a couple of rules we can't break, so I'm not gonna ask half of these because you know, you see.

SPEAKER_00 34:01

I'm like looking down to what? Drew inappropriate.

SPEAKER_04 34:04

No, these were all radio related. Not me. But um not this show. No, but we wanna um we want to do some news. We want you to join us to have some fun with the news this week. She's creative and she does pop calls. And you might you might take some of these news topics around Baton Ridge that we have here and might use them on your show.

SPEAKER_01 34:19

Well, I mean, if you don't steal from the Savagate, then you're not like everyone else.

SPEAKER_00 34:22

I mean, we will never give shout-outs every week.

SPEAKER_04 34:25

We will never cover Michael Jackson. I didn't know that was I didn't know that was a topic. Do we need to do that? Is it a new documentary? We're not doing Michael Jackson at the Savagate podcast. This is fake.

SPEAKER_01 34:39

The last thing I want to last thing I want to do is get into the subject matter of a Michael Jackson documentary, which can't be good. Right. Uh we have Wade, we have Wayne Evans on sometime. That's way more interesting than Michael Jackson. You know what? David McDavid from Zachary's undercover career. That I want to know more about. Yeah, that's true, huh? Yeah, that little tidbit was juicy. Did not know he. He had a whole undercover, like a biker gang kind of look on, like bandanas and earrings and stuff. David McDavid was dangerous. Yeah. And he get and he hung out with John Daly, so they're crushing beer cans and hitting golf balls and invading.

SPEAKER_00 35:17

Or nail weights from Baker.

SPEAKER_01 35:18

I want to know more. I want to see the Netflix documentary on David freaking McDavid. That's what I want. In fact, I don't even want to call it. I'm no longer gonna call him Mayor McDavid. It's gonna be David Freaking McDavid.

SPEAKER_00 35:29

I thought it was Med David. No? Because when I've worked in news for a hot minute, that's what I'll call him. David Maddavid.

SPEAKER_01 35:35

I would check. He's probably still ticked at you for that. Probably the hell comes up.

SPEAKER_00 35:39

It's pretty crazy. Who is that at some point?

SPEAKER_01 35:42

He's probably bugging your house because he's still undercover secretly and no one knows. I'm serious. David freaking McDavid. He's got some connections. Badass. He seems so nice. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 35:55

He is.

SPEAKER_01 35:55

He is very nice. We just know if it's real or if it's just a stick. Underneath that, that nice, gentle exterior is a man capable of extreme violence. I feel I feel like. Undercover violence. He'll be back on the show.

SPEAKER_04 36:08

But Drew said he don't want to be here. Oh, yeah, he was great. Thanks for listening, Bree.

SPEAKER_00 36:14

Oh my bad. Yeah, thanks a lot. Well, I can tell y'all y'all haven't had Darnell wait.

SPEAKER_04 36:19

So we have definitely not had Dardan. That's our that you know what used to be a goal to get Jeff Landry on, but now we gotta get the Baker maybe.

SPEAKER_00 36:26

Oh, y'all have gotten Jeff on?

SPEAKER_04 36:27

No, we will though. We will though.

SPEAKER_01 36:29

We feel like that's low-hanging fruit.

SPEAKER_04 36:30

We're on the cusp of getting a date for the East Baton Rouge mayor, and we will have Jeff Landry on. Yep. We will tell it for y'all. Yes.

SPEAKER_01 36:41

I mean, I think we are too. These are your Lafayette people.

SPEAKER_00 36:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 36:44

Jeff Landry's people.

SPEAKER_04 36:46

Did you hear the Chase Tyler episode from last week?

SPEAKER_00 36:48

I did. I did listen to that.

SPEAKER_04 36:51

What did you think about him dropping that bomb by getting kicked out of uh high school?

SPEAKER_00 36:55

I didn't hear that.

SPEAKER_01 37:00

What do you think about him flying in that F-15? What did you think about that?

SPEAKER_00 37:03

Like, oh, that's great.

SPEAKER_01 37:04

Exactly.

SPEAKER_04 37:05

It was a good show. I suggest listening to the whole thing. You were probably listening while you were getting ready for work and lost track, but it's it's a good show. Chase was a great fan.

SPEAKER_00 37:12

I've interviewed him several times. Oh, yeah. He, gosh, the stories that he can tell.

SPEAKER_01 37:17

I think he's great. He will definitely be back. Chase Tyler, underrated. Yeah. 100%. No, 100%.

SPEAKER_00 37:25

Derek Shipley from Parrish County Line.

SPEAKER_01 37:27

Okay. All right.

SPEAKER_04 37:28

Well, Drew doesn't like Parrish County Line, so we're not going to.

SPEAKER_01 37:30

Well, I I thought I think you have to choose between Chase Tyler and Parrish County Line.

SPEAKER_00 37:33

Oh, they're friends.

SPEAKER_01 37:34

I think it's like a ride, you know, hey, who you booking for your festival, Chase Tyler? We just do a whole country music, like we just get a whole bunch of people in here.

SPEAKER_00 37:41

You'll have to get Lauren Lee, too.

SPEAKER_04 37:42

No, we will definitely get her. Yeah. She's on the potential list for the food truck festival.

SPEAKER_01 37:47

Dave is in charge of guests because he's in charge of cup distribution. So I get here on time. And he's awesome. Guaranteed.

SPEAKER_00 37:53

I have my pink Savagate cup. He is in my office.

SPEAKER_01 37:56

He is at my office before I'm at my office. That's how that's how we're doing this show.

SPEAKER_04 38:00

I feel like by the 50th episode, I'll have a keto disjoint. Get in here and send out some subpoenas.

SPEAKER_02 38:06

You leave your toothbrush here.

SPEAKER_00 38:08

Log on the court. Just walk in, Date's cooking.

SPEAKER_01 38:11

Give him a drawer and everything.

SPEAKER_00 38:13

Right.

SPEAKER_04 38:15

This is like really my condo we're doing the show with.

SPEAKER_01 38:17

Oh wow, breaking the news.

SPEAKER_00 39:15

Yes, 100.7. Sits, yes, sits P to 10 P and then Talk 1073, sits A to 9A.

SPEAKER_04 39:22

But do you ever actually spin around and get on there with Brian or you're just behind the well that's what we were talking about at the very beginning of the podcast.

SPEAKER_00 39:31

The more comfortable I'm getting, Brian tosses to me more. If he has a serious enough interview, I won't ever get on Brian because that's his show. Yeah, like he especially with the carbon capture or something real political, that's his interview. Um, there are regular interviews that we will have that I won't.

SPEAKER_01 39:49

You know what she just said? If it's not a serious interview, if it's not a good interview, she's coming. She's coming. She is so when you hear when you hear her get on the interview, that's when you're being interviewed. That means you suck.

SPEAKER_00 40:02

Oh, that's terrible.

SPEAKER_01 40:04

She's being brought in to fill time. Everybody who goes in now is gonna see her get up, walking out.

SPEAKER_02 40:09

Is it going that bad? He's calling the girl in. That's a self-fulfilling prophecy. We just ruined interviews. Hey, Darnell, you should have gone on the Savicate. That'll teach you.

SPEAKER_04 40:21

The Savvycate podcast will never call Britney in the wreck to uh rescue anybody.

SPEAKER_00 40:25

Darnell made it on Brian Joe and I'll speak up.

SPEAKER_01 40:28

That's right. Hold on, hold on, Mayor Waits. Uh Brittany's coming in. Hold on a second. I'm gonna go ahead and go get some coffee. I'll be back. Bring in the guests, bring in the guests.

SPEAKER_04 40:37

Oh god. Okay, so uh 6 p.m. on the tiger and 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. or 9 a.m. on on Talk 107. Talk 107. You are the producer and sometimes make a guest appearance if the show sucks.

SPEAKER_00 40:50

If I'm interviewing somebody, it's because they suck.

SPEAKER_04 40:53

Because they suck, okay. Well, I know if I'm ever on there, yeah, you know, the cover on.

SPEAKER_02 40:57

She stands up, I'm like, No, it's not that Brian's gonna walk off and go to the bathroom. I'll be right back. Don't worry. There it goes. It's great.

SPEAKER_00 41:05

I think it's because Brian's trying to involve me more, you know? And so I'm happy to He should be.

SPEAKER_04 41:10

You have a great personality, a great voice. She's bringing it back.

SPEAKER_00 41:13

Yeah, yeah. So he will, you know, Brian Howdain. He does hand, like he'll lift up his hand on the show or he'll the He's letting you know.

SPEAKER_04 41:22

Um, and how can people find you on Facebook if they want to follow along?

SPEAKER_00 41:25

Facebook Breeland B-R-I-L-Y-N-N or the St. George food truck page. Oh, there's a there's always Instagram is Breeland on Air.

SPEAKER_04 41:35

Breelin on Air. Love that. Very good. You want to do some news, Dave? Well, if Britney wants to do some news, throw it out, man.

SPEAKER_01 41:41

Creative manager. Let's go. If she didn't know about it, she's just not gonna talk.

SPEAKER_04 41:45

Yeah, so uh here at the Savicate Podcast, um, our main focus is news around Baton Roads that really deserves uh to be mentioned. Um, that uh sometimes doesn't make this the Savicate uh website. Perhaps we want to take a nail weight. Yeah, um, barbershops. I mean, no one's talking more about it. Do you know the whole barbershop thing we're joking about?

SPEAKER_00 42:06

No, I do not please.

SPEAKER_04 42:07

So they they they put a moratorium on new barbershops. Banning new barbershops. If you go to Baker right now and say, listen, I want to open up a barbershop, you're out. Yeah, but if you want to open up a weed shop, you're in.

SPEAKER_01 42:18

Yep, I need to do some low taper fades right here, and they will say no.

SPEAKER_00 42:22

Is that Jordan and Nell's doing it?

SPEAKER_01 42:25

Yeah, that's my understanding.

SPEAKER_00 42:27

Do we know why? Has he made a statement on it?

SPEAKER_04 42:29

I mean, obviously there's an abundance or it's gotta be racism. It could be kidding.

SPEAKER_00 42:35

Well, I got the drew always like it. Put it out there.

SPEAKER_04 42:39

Damn attorneys. Um, yeah, so you know what? Let's jump to a little news. Um, I don't think Baker made the news this week, but uh what did make the news is that um repeat uh Mr. Attorney Merle, repeat DWI offenders in Louisiana to face harsher penalties under new law. Is that like implying right up in our face that yeah, we really don't do anything to repeat DWI offenders?

SPEAKER_01 43:02

Uh I think there was some uh that there's too much discrepancy, and I think that's what you were seeing. Yeah. There was too much leeway on some of our repeat offenders, and this is kind of closing that that loop a little bit.

SPEAKER_04 43:13

I feel like the DWI topic is black and white, the people who talk about how bad of a crime it is and how much they should be punished talk about it like till they're blue in the face, and on the opposite side, the judicial system does literally nothing to these people. Right.

SPEAKER_01 43:30

Well, I think we keep getting too many examples in the news of guys on his fourth, fifth, thirty-fifth DWI. Yeah. And you're wondering, like, why does this guy get out here? How do you get there?

SPEAKER_00 43:40

I never understood that either.

SPEAKER_01 43:43

Maybe twenty years ago, because there was no other way to get places. Right. But we got Uber.

SPEAKER_00 43:48

No excuse to we have rod chairs.

SPEAKER_04 43:51

You got you got options. But it's you you know, you can rest easy knowing that now repeat offenders might face a penalty. Louisiana saying, Yeah, now we're serious. Before we were just playing with it. Of course, it just said repeat. It didn't say how many repetitions. So that could mean 11.

SPEAKER_01 44:07

Right. I I'm on my 25th DWI.

SPEAKER_04 44:10

Speaking of DWIs, uh, a Baton Ridge man was arrested on drug, gun, and DWI charges after allegedly driving 147 miles per hour.

SPEAKER_01 44:20

And Representative Selders was free on bond after that?

SPEAKER_00 44:23

What?

SPEAKER_04 44:24

Oh deep. I don't think he got that fast doing donuts in the parking lot at LSU. Without his driver's license? Yeah. Suspended driver's license. He had it, it was just a driver's line. Oh my God. My argument here is there's no place on the interstate in Baton Rouge you can get up to 147. Like, you can get up to like maybe 14.7.

SPEAKER_00 44:43

Bruges doesn't move. I mean, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 44:45

That's his defense right away. Do we want to go out and a limb and assume what kind of car you might want to guess the car? Absolutely a Dodge Charger. Dodge Charger. It's got to be a charger, a challenger, man. Absolutely a challenger. Ultimus can't get up to 147.

SPEAKER_01 44:56

If he's not driving one of those, I would be horribly at disappointment. And look, the reality is if you're at 147 and you're going to do one of these things, is it does it matter at that point?

SPEAKER_04 45:06

100%.

SPEAKER_01 45:07

At what point did you go, oh my God, that's terrible? Did you have to have drug gun DWI? Or any one of those by themselves.

SPEAKER_04 45:14

It's good and good. You could have avoided all the three first ones by not doing the fourth one. It's not, you know, you know. But I think his defense is going to be, Your Honor, 147 in Baton Rage. The next car is 15 feet from you.

SPEAKER_01 45:27

The law says repeated offenders harsher penalties. I only did it once. That's true. Under the new law, I should be set free.

SPEAKER_04 45:33

I'm good. I'm good. Let me go. What's next? St. Tammany Parish in the news this week. An arrest warrant shows 18 drinks on the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Bar Tab right before he got into a fight and beat the allegedly beat the absolute hell out of some guy.

SPEAKER_00 45:50

Now 18 drinks.

SPEAKER_01 45:53

There's a lot going on with this. And I will say, you know, St. Tammany, lovely area. Madisonville at that. Beautiful. Love Madisonville.

SPEAKER_00 46:03

Not much to do out there at all.

SPEAKER_01 46:04

Well, clearly you get drunk and you beat people up. But the St. Tammany Sheriff's role, I mean, that office has been a box of hammers for a little while. Wasn't the previous sheriff in some trouble with this guy? The previous sheriff was in trouble for some whole other stuff. Yes. Feels like a Michael Jackson documentary about the verdict coming out. There you go. There you go. There's your two minutes. Not good. Not good stuff.

SPEAKER_04 46:30

Um so look, getting right back into traffic. What if he was buying drinks for other people? I thought about that as well. 18 drinks, he's he I'll be if you're the sheriff, right? And everybody's like, hey, it's a sheriff. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 46:41

18 drinks for any person. Gotta be passed out. So I would I would think buying it.

SPEAKER_04 46:48

Maybe he's just trying to show how strong he was.

SPEAKER_01 46:51

Like, 18, I'm only at 24, but I'm not sure. What if he was trying to be cool and he's really like flicking them behind his shoulder? He's not really drinking the he was going to the bathroom and pouring them out like that. I'm not just hanging out. I'm having a good time. But yeah, um, Shank Tammy Sheriff in the news again. How about that? I mean, did he do one of those cool movie things? Like, I'm not the sheriff right now. I'm taking the badge off. I'm putting the just you and me, buddy.

SPEAKER_04 47:14

And like it's not really being he whooped that dude's butt. That dude was in the hospital.

SPEAKER_01 47:19

I mean, is that street cred if you're the sheriff?

SPEAKER_04 47:21

It is now.

SPEAKER_01 47:22

Like Wild West style.

SPEAKER_04 47:23

Unfortunately, you can't have the job of sheriff if you're going around drinking and beating the crap out of people.

SPEAKER_02 47:28

I mean, there's not a fight club in St. Tammany. There could be. This is a good argument for it. So good.

SPEAKER_04 47:34

Um, so sticking sticking with uh traffic, Louisiana ranks third for road rage, according to a new report. No surprise. I'm so shocked that we're only third.

SPEAKER_01 47:43

Tree story. I had an office in Morero for a few minutes, and they had a lot of road raid and road rage incidents in Morero. Like people got killed. It was bad. So I'm driving over the bridge on the Crescent City Connection, and I'm going to my office, and a guy like clearly cuts me off. I weigh, I give him the one-finger salute. He starts slowing down. I'm like, oh my God, this dude's gonna kill me. He rolls down the window. I'm like, oh my god, he's gonna kill me. And he threw a Coke can at me on the interstate. And I was so like Well, was it full? Yes, it had coke in it. And I'm like, and I was so horrified by the moment because like one, I really thought he was gonna shoot and kill me. Two, I'm really mad about it, but I'm just baffled by the oh, Coke can. Okay. All right then. Uh could transaction. What did you do about it? Did you just swerve at him or something? Well, at that point at that point, I just I'm like, I'm just gonna go to the office. I think it's time, you know. I'm not you're one of the few.

SPEAKER_00 48:39

Let's do you didn't give him another one-finger salute.

SPEAKER_01 48:41

No, I had, you know, you're in a bar, you have 70 more beers, and you fight him because you're the sheriff. You start looking through the car. What do I got? There's an umbrella. I'll throw that out.

SPEAKER_04 48:53

I'll teach you a lesson. Yeah, so uh road rage.

SPEAKER_01 48:56

Road rage.

SPEAKER_04 48:58

Bad, man. Man, I have there's been several times where I have stopped and just turned and removed myself from the from the equation because I was just so mad. Not many people can do that.

SPEAKER_00 49:09

I'll be honest. So that's why.

SPEAKER_01 49:12

Anytime you start a sentence with I'll be honest, you're about to do something. Bad to do in front of a lawyer.

SPEAKER_00 49:17

No, it's not bad. I was just gonna say that's one of the reasons.

SPEAKER_01 49:19

Now she's not tailoring the story.

SPEAKER_00 49:21

I got a dash cam, but front and back. I have the back too. So if anybody wants to give me the one bigger salute in the back.

SPEAKER_01 49:28

I wonder why your car would have that kind of devices. Did you see the front of it outside? Yeah, I just wonder why.

SPEAKER_04 49:34

I wonder why. She ran a guy in a kia into a ditch. That's how her car looks like.

SPEAKER_00 49:38

No, I hit a pole in my driveway, my own driveway.

SPEAKER_04 49:40

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 49:40

At five in the morning going to Brian Show.

SPEAKER_01 49:42

I knew a guy, his wife kept running. You wrecked in your driveway?

SPEAKER_00 49:45

Yeah, in my driveway, and that's why my bumpers fall out.

SPEAKER_01 49:48

Kind of going the same direction. A guy I knew his wife kept running into the garage with her car when she would park the car. So he ties the tennis ball up, and you're supposed to stop when the tennis ball hits the windshield, and the next day she hits the garage again and like destroys the garage.

SPEAKER_00 50:03

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_01 50:05

You could could be worse. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 50:06

It could be worse.

SPEAKER_01 50:08

Okay. So road rage. That makes sense.

SPEAKER_04 50:10

Man runs from West Baton Rouge Courthouse after learning about standing warrants. Yes, like he should be. That is like a movie scene. He he was in black and white stripes, cuffed.

SPEAKER_01 50:21

Ran out the front door.

SPEAKER_00 50:22

That's what I'm saying. They handcuffed him and he just hold ass.

SPEAKER_01 50:25

It is too late at that moment, and there's not a lot of good options. If you got the outfit on, that's pretty bad.

SPEAKER_04 50:30

The old black and white stripe, middle of Portland City of Portland, he's running cuffed. I think he made it like three or four hours.

SPEAKER_01 50:36

I mean, at that point, I'm telling you, if I'm a police officer, I just let him go and see how far he can go. I feel like he going about five miles an hour, coasting down LA1, going, yeah, you know, let's just see what happens. Let's see if he turns into the field, or is he just gonna keep running down the street? Is he going to Kuyons? Okay, I'm good with that.

SPEAKER_00 50:57

He can't go anywhere, though. Not wearing yellows. Not very fat.

SPEAKER_01 50:59

That's it. You're very so why why be in a hurry? Let's not get sweaty on this one, guys. Well, wait, he's gonna sit down in a minute.

SPEAKER_04 51:06

It's fine. He learned the hard way that that didn't clear his warrants up. They caught him and he still has the warranty. It does not solve any of those issues.

SPEAKER_01 51:14

What's funny is if they he's in for outstanding warrants, A, he either showed up voluntarily. I guess a poor choice if you didn't know. Uh or two, they'd already picked him up and brought him in once, so they know where you're. In fact, don't even follow him for a while. Yeah, just let him go and go to the house where you picked him up from. He'll be there eventually. Legit a movie scene. Right out the front door. Get a bath, something. Or he's or he maybe he's going to some lady who's got clothes on the clothesline, so movie style, he can change outfits. There's just nothing good happening.

SPEAKER_04 51:46

Yeah, so um, so that's it for news. Um, we do have a couple of texts um from uh this week.

SPEAKER_01 51:52

No, tell me. Well, if you want to text the show.

SPEAKER_04 51:55

Yeah, 225-255-2480. Hey, if you if you want to email the show, don't. You can email us at 225-255-2480.

SPEAKER_00 52:05

There you go. It's good for everything. Screw it and check his email. That's why I don't read the show.

SPEAKER_04 52:09

We used to uh we had an email address and and um it's just easier, we get more text, it's easier to do text.

SPEAKER_01 52:16

It's way more fun for me not to read the sheet and ask him random questions.

SPEAKER_04 52:19

I put I put on the sheet no more emails, text only, and as soon as I did it, Drew goes, How do you email us? I'm like, Well, you could if we had an email address.

SPEAKER_02 52:26

This show is a surprise to me, just like it is you. That's what I like about it.

SPEAKER_01 52:29

Makes it uh makes it good.

SPEAKER_04 52:31

Like it's almost improv.

SPEAKER_01 52:32

Give me some texts this week.

SPEAKER_04 52:34

Um look, great show last week. We love Chase Tyler.

SPEAKER_01 52:37

I I can't agree more. I I I you know, I'll tell you now, musician, pretty good looking guy. I can say that. I'm comfortable. Um, did not expect him to be as personable. Better than I could. He is great. He's down to earth. I think he is fun.

SPEAKER_04 52:52

We're definitely gonna have him back. Hopefully, before he ends up being too big to have his people tell us he can't come on the show.

SPEAKER_02 52:58

I've been on the Opry.

SPEAKER_04 52:59

Why would I do your show, loser? Uh Drew, who will be the next Broom people indicted? I'm gonna steer that in your direction, Mr.

SPEAKER_01 53:09

Attorney. Uh so if we're talking about uh Mayor Sharon Weston Broom.

SPEAKER_04 53:13

Uh weren't there some interviews this last week?

SPEAKER_01 53:14

Interview three uh three council members. Uh I don't believe they're suspects. I think they were to get more information. Uh I don't know. I don't know. You think they rolled over? I've just got you think they're rolling. The next broom people to be indicted might be named Broom. I've heard some rumors. Rumors rumble.

SPEAKER_00 53:31

Really?

SPEAKER_01 53:32

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. You steal money. Eventually, people find out. I'm just saying. Now, to be fair, I will tell you, I have defended Sharon Broom on this issue by declaring that she was entirely way too incompetent to actually steal the money. That more likely her incompetence led this is why Dave has to be on the show. It makes me nicer. That likely it led to her bringing in people who would steal money.

SPEAKER_04 53:54

And her more likely to roll over.

SPEAKER_01 53:56

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 53:57

Yes. And you know, her uh police chief Murphy Paul now works for the uh New Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office. I mean, what a great place. He's like one of the high ups, like big. And I saw um literally on the way over here, there was some breaking news that there was another escape. Uh oh. Actually, I'm sorry. Hey, they accidentally released a guy from the Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office. So sounds like Murphy Paul's got things in order. Paul, back at work.

SPEAKER_01 54:21

Put put put punching the clock to coming to work.

SPEAKER_02 54:23

What are you doing today? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 54:25

Ruining your police department. Let's do it. And we'll go back to Ascension afterwards so I don't have to live with any of the uh fallout.

SPEAKER_04 54:32

Interview more Baton Rouge musicians. This was good. Oh, God. We can definitely have another Baton Rouge musician. I think we're gonna have uh my good friend uh Chris LeBlanc. Oh coming in. Yeah, he's gonna be.

SPEAKER_00 54:43

Lauren's big time.

SPEAKER_04 54:44

Yeah, yeah. Definitely get the Lauren League.

SPEAKER_01 54:46

I think the bar is really high now, and I'd throw that out there. Two time Hall of Fame inductee. Two time. Not one time, two time.

SPEAKER_04 54:54

One time one way on the way in. One time expelled from Dental Springs High School.

SPEAKER_01 54:58

One time expellee.

SPEAKER_00 55:00

Uh oh yes, I did hear that story. Oh, sure.

SPEAKER_01 55:05

Yeah. And then also, we know he has higher education in his background. He's a mixologist. We got a bartending certificate. So, worst case scenario, you're gonna have good drinks while you're hanging out.

SPEAKER_04 55:16

Yeah, we can't have anyone on the show that doesn't have a degree because that's going backwards.

SPEAKER_01 55:20

I think every time you go to a Chase Tyler show, we should have the audience scream at him to make him kamikaze.

SPEAKER_02 55:25

Just see how that goes.

SPEAKER_04 55:28

Oh, here we go. Have y'all considered interviewing someone from Baker who got a haircut about the 150 options at one of the 150 options yet?

SPEAKER_01 55:36

Well, I mean Should we should we put out an ad for a we have we have asked or we have discussed moving the Savagate podcast for a one-time only show at a Baker shop so we could learn about the inner workings of the barbershop. There's a it's you know, for one, I mean, hair care altogether for you is gonna be a foreign concept, right? Except for just a straight razor, right? But yeah, but you know, I think we could learn a lot. It is the center of culture, I'm told, and and you can learn a lot.

SPEAKER_04 56:05

Um listen, every baker barbershop just doubled in value because if you want one, you gotta buy one over there, I feel like you know what it is, it's the new trailer park.

SPEAKER_01 56:14

Yeah, right. You know, trailer parks are not moratorium. Yeah, when they don't when you can't build more of them, they become really valuable. Yeah, barbershop, baker barbershop.

SPEAKER_00 56:22

It's a men's, what is it, where they talk about women, news, politics, sports. It is like the boys' club.

SPEAKER_01 56:31

It is the center of news. If you want breaking news, Black Man's barbershop is where you get it. Not kidding. Yeah, not our barbershops. Our barbershop boring. I mean, I don't, I mean, my stylist that you know, we have great conversations, but yeah, barbershop. Well, that's it for text, guys.

SPEAKER_04 56:49

So if you want to text us one more time, where do you get us? 225-255-2480, and we will read them on the air. That's awesome. Even if you beat up on Drew or me. No one ever beats up on you. I can't figure it out. We've never gotten to text anybody beating up on me, but they beat up on Drew like crazy. Everybody loves us. I like to point, I'd also like to point out no Wade Evans text this week. Or no Wade Evans themed text this week, which makes me believe he is busy prepping for his moment in spotlight next week.

SPEAKER_01 57:15

We should do is we should call into the show. Call into the show and just start asking him random questions that that he will not be prepared for whatsoever.

SPEAKER_04 57:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 57:26

Or why don't we just show up there with breakfast?

SPEAKER_00 57:28

Oh, please do.

SPEAKER_04 57:29

We gotta get past Bree Lynn.

SPEAKER_00 57:31

I get hungry at like eight in the morning.

SPEAKER_04 57:33

There you go. There's there's easy way. Text me and Drew the door code. We're coming. I should know I can tell you.

SPEAKER_00 57:37

I can hit it from the screen.

SPEAKER_04 57:38

We're not telling you when, though.

SPEAKER_01 57:40

The radio people love free food.

unknown 57:42

Yes, they do.

SPEAKER_04 57:43

I would venture to say that most people love free food.

SPEAKER_00 57:47

No, but radio people especially love free.

SPEAKER_01 57:49

Back in the day, I've had more flavors of Bluebell than most people should. Thanks to the Bluebell guys. Uh I can tell you one of your co-worker, I'll tell you a co-worker story before we leave. Uh your co-worker and your buddy, Scotty Mack.

SPEAKER_00 58:03

Oh boy.

SPEAKER_01 58:03

Scotty Mack.

SPEAKER_00 58:04

He's always first to the food line.

SPEAKER_01 58:06

Absolutely first and last to the food line. And he might double dip.

SPEAKER_00 58:12

No, that's gross.

SPEAKER_01 58:14

I used to swear at potluck events, everyone should label their food so you'd know exactly who made it. So I can go, oh, you cook really well. I'm gonna have your food. Oh my god, no. Um and then I had we had another coworker who used to bring go-boxes and go-box food.

SPEAKER_00 58:29

What?

SPEAKER_01 58:30

Yep. We did. So here you go. That's it. Thank you, Breland.

SPEAKER_00 58:34

Thank y'all. This has been great.

SPEAKER_04 58:36

Yeah, our first uh our first DJ, our first creative. Really?

SPEAKER_00 58:40
