Welcome to the Tom Bernard podcast with the family and Andy Bram Bernard.

And Kristen Burt.

Your mom's out wandering around somewhere.

Doing something.

She's doing something.

She has a golf lesson.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, that's what she said yesterday. It is what she said. That's right. She has golf. I'm just Catherine's schedule something. She has a golf lesson, I believe, that she said yesterday. It is what she said.

That's right. She has golf. I'm just Catherine's schedule keeper. Yeah, you do know what she's doing all the time. That is true. There's no question. She's the only one that pays attention. You know, I got to tell you guys something because somebody asked me to look for something, they saw it on on television on like

YouTube TV or whatever it was an interview with me back when I was leaving KQRS and

all that stuff so I went and looked back at it I now weigh 240, what is it, 246 right now.

When I was at KQ just at the very end there, because I was a little, you know, a little

distracted by this person buying this and then they were going to buy that and then we're

going to go here and then we're going to go out to LA and then we're going to go to New and then we're going to go here, and then we're going to go out to L.A., and then we're going to go to New York, and we're doing all these different things.

But I back then, so I weighed 246, 245, 240, right around there now.

And so I want to lose about another 32 pounds.

But I looked at those interviews when I weighed 3.15. I look quite a those interviews when I weighed 315. I look quite a bit different

when I weighed 315. Yeah, I would say so. I looked a lot different back then. But you know,

it was a very stressful period because you had all these people who knew nothing about radio

that were getting into. One of the things that is destroying radio, and most of the companies that own radio stations don't know what the hell they're doing. I don't know why they did that, but, you know, you would think you'd get somebody who knew what they were doing in radio if you're going to buy a bunch of radio stations, don't you think? Well, if it's private equity coming in, it's going to be a bunch of people that are going to just cut the staff and don't care about creative or anything else like that. And I mean, it's been tant was oldest time, too, with studio executives, you know, versus creative. And a lot of times, one just has the business side in mind, the other side only has a creative in mind. Right.

Every once in a while, there'll be that one executive that has the creative mind and the business mind,

and they do something incredible, but those stories are few and far between, unfortunately.
