| 0:20.1 | Welcome to the naughty but nice show. |
| 0:22.0 | I'm your host, Rob Shooter. |
| 0:23.3 | And it is Wednesday morning. Hello, hello. Normally every Wednesday, our dear friend Donnie Meacham joins us. Donnie's not going to be able to join us today. But don't worry, because we've got a very, very special guest. a dear friend of mine. |
| 0:35.7 | In fact, if you've been following my career |
| 0:38.0 | since the Remain days, |
| 0:40.2 | the Derrick and Remain days, very special guest, a dear friend of mine. In fact, if you've been following my career since the |
| 0:38.7 | Remain days, the Derek and Remain Days, you will recognize this voice. It's a blast from the |
| 0:44.8 | radio past, but not from the past in my life. I see her every week. My dear friend, Valerie Greenberg, |
| 0:49.8 | Val, are you there? This is such a joy to join you right now because it's true. |
| 0:54.7 | We're friends. We're family. And the fact that we're back together right now on your show, it's just everything is full circle. We have a very special reason that Val is on the show today, which we will get to a little later in the show. It's going to be our nicest of the day. Let's jump in. What time is it, my friends, it is? Let me hear you singing along. It is tea time. |
| 1:12.8 | Okay, big story at the top of the day. Let's jump in. What time is it, my friends, it is. Let me hear you singing along. It is tea time. Okay, big story at the top of the show. Listen to this, |
| 1:15.4 | Fals. So Taylor Swift is being accused of cheating to break sale records. So Taylor Swift, she's got |
| 1:22.3 | a new CD out. It is selling really, really well. But do you know who sold the most albums in one week? |

| 1:41.4 | Adele sold over three million copies back in 2015. Now, Taylor looks like she's |
| 1:49.5 | going to sell about 2.7. So to push her to the head of the pack, to push her to number one, |
| 1:56.2 | what has she done? She's reduced the price. The life of a showgirl is now $4.99 on iTunes. So she's made a ton of money. It's already sold two, two and a half million copies. But to get that extra half a million copies to squeeze it out of us all, she's reduced the price. Now, some people are saying, that's not right. That is cheating. I think all fair, it's not breaking the rules. This is going to count. You can put your album or whatever price you want. It's not set in stone. Congress doesn't fix the price for albums, Val. And so what do you think about this? It's a little sneaky. I give her that, but I sort of admire her. What do you think? Sneaky, but I think it's quite clever. And listen, she is a business |
| 2:34.5 | woman at heart. Like, she likes to have fun with us and she knows exactly what she's doing. |
