Yes, yes, welcome in to another edition of the Tim McKernan show here on the

Inside STL Podcast Network. I am your host to McKernan alongside executive producer John Seymour also known as the

C-Master. So today's guest from the Home Loan Expert.com studios is Larry Connors. Now I recognize that for the

Ryan Kelly morning after listeners it's kind of interesting just before I

did the interview with Larry I was talking to T.J. is 26 if I'm not mistaken. And so we were talking

about I said yeah Larry Connors I mean if you were to do the hashtag Mount Rushmore of St. Louis news

anchors it's like I mean Larry Connors is is on there inst to call and we

actually and you'll in this interview you'll hear Larry and I discuss this

but for our audience who is younger and i recognize there's a good number of people in their

twenties who who listen to the Ryan Kelly morning after into the podcast certainly and even thirties who just doesn't watch it

who just didn't watch local news or just doesn't watch it anymore, never did,

whatever the case might be, these names for someone who in my case was in the business but then also grew up in the

1980s and 1990s in St. Louis these guys and also I think you would probably put Karen Foss for example in the Mount Rushmore category

Were superstars kind of the basis I think really for the Ron Burgundy anchor man

Character because these guys truly did run markets in each one of their markets and Larry Connors certainly was one of those people as a matter

of fact he and I didn't realize this until we did the interview started in St. Louis in 1975 and went from

KMO V to KTVI, Fox 2 now and then back to KMO V and was at KMOV and was at KMOV all the way until 2013.

I mean, that's just absolutely unheard of.

And I also think, which is kind of weird because it was a big part of my life but I also recognize the audience

and plus they see me and I look like a hoodlum.

But my career started in television and I recognize there's probably a lot of people who have no idea or didn't remember or whatever the case might be,

but I worked with Larry Connors and Julius Hunter, Mount Rushmore, Mount Rushmore,
