What's poppin' everybody? Hello and welcome to Popcorn Culture. My name is Ben Carlin and I am your host.

Here with me today is my brother Jay, who will be in every episode as a special guest.

Better known to the little carnels as Jazzy Jay.

As Jazzy Jay? That's right. The other host of the pop.

You got Jazzy Jay and Busy Bee. Jazzy Jay in the house. Ben, do we have a corny joke today?

We don't. Literally, I'm unprepared. This is not a good moment for me.

This is the kind of hosting. Hold on, I'm imraving. Wow.

I'm gonna be able to sort this out. Hey Jay, here's a real question for you though.

Yeah. What? What say you if someone called up and said, we want to give you to a morning show?

Yeah. Like a radio show in the morning. Yeah. Sometimes when I listen to radio shows in the morning, I'm like, these people are so remarkably talented in their ability to be entertaining.

Are you day after day after day? Are you imagining we're like some like Shock Jack duo who's like playing music as well or it's just like, we just want to give you guys like a block of time to talk.

Well, or play games or something. Tell me more about the term Shock Jack.

It's not like Shock would be like any like not not any, but often I would think like top 40 station where you just have two DJs and they're just like goofing off each other and ripping on each other and stuff.

That's sort of what I'm imagining. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because here's the thing I'm thinking about like radio DJs and like how we record, you know, roughly an hour, hour and a half worth of podcast content on the weekly.

Yeah. These folks that show up to be morning show DJs are talking for like five, six hours.

Well, not continuously not continuously is playing music. It is fair. They do. They do tremendous hosting jobs and much on the fly and must prepare more than we do.

I imagine. Yes. Yes. No, I personally, I just find it to be remarkable. I feel like there's there's always that that sentiment that comes back where I think it's Ryan

C. Chris who said it maybe, but like as soon as you think you could do a radio DJs job, it means they're doing it extremely well. Like because the effortless nature at which they're able to just carry

conversation about things that are completely relatable to large numbers of people is like a rather specific skill. It is. It is underappreciated. I imagine.

By I mean, because that that's the nature of it's like the more it sounds regular and just like, oh, I think I could do this. That's that's the better job they're doing.

That's what's supposed to sound nice and conversational. I know you're just using this as a stall tactic, but you look up the corny joke. Yeah, I'll answer your question. Yeah. Yeah.

If and when the BBC calls and it's like, Hey, popcorn culture, J.C. J and host guy. Would you like to host a radio show here here in in the UK? I'd be like, well, yeah.
