Happy Round. Happy Rant.

Hey, welcome to the Happy Rant Podcast.

I am Ted Cluck joined as always in studio.

But my good friends, my partner in radio, Ronald J Martin.

Ron, we are without our boy today.

We're without Barnabas Piper.

He's out traveling, saving the world, doing Piper things. The world needs to be saved be saved doggone I hope he's successful in that and I really hope he like you know what you know what would be a good business trip for Piper if he goes out and in the span of a couple days like restores baseball

I don't know it makes it so that we can go back to movies and restaurants and you know gets football back on track just yeah if you could if you could go ahead and do that

pied boy or out though just take care of that in your spare just take care of all that whatever it is you're doing whatever

reason you couldn't be with us yeah that's right man but here we are again baby having to like carry this thing on our own as we've done so many times in the past dude

And that doesn't bother me. I mean it's I'm not intimidated by it in fact baby we got I like it I embrace the challenge you know

You and I were radio pros will do whatever's asked for us whatever we need to do for the sponsors

We always step we do we always step up to the plate and baby today. I thought we could talk a little bit

just about the creative process

People get mad when we get too sportsy people get mad when we get too sporty.

People get mad when we get too

Downton Abbey-ish.

People are fickle, maybe.

People are just...

They're tough to please.

But I feel like we do have some like creative types that listen to the program. We've got some musicians, some writers, some film type people and I just kind of want to talk about it because you and I have a lot of like personality overlap and I think we approach the creative process in a pretty similar way but I wanted to kind of talk about how for you making records, maybe has differed from, like,

making a movie for me and how the whole book thing works.
