106.7 Detroit's Wheels, Josh, in his show, last day at the dock.

So you were, what was your actual title in the Stern universe?

You were the PD at the station in Cleveland, but what was your role in the Stern world?

I was the operations manager of WNCX, and I was just an affiliate at that point.

You know, that was all.

And, you know, there were no other affiliates.

We were the third.

So there was no syndication, you know, company at that point.

It would have been New York.

Philadelphia was the second, L.A., Washington.

And then you guys are, no?

Washington came after. So you were third. It was Philly, L.A. Washington and then you guys are no no Washington came after so you were

we were third got it was Philly L.A. Us really yeah how about oh so you're not counting New York okay

so I'm not counting New York okay my bad so that makes sense okay so I'm not trying to argue

semantics with you I guess I'm like wait a second Doug I know you lived it, but I read private parts. Wait a second. I got the Wikipedia up right here. So, anyway, you're in Cleveland. The Duke of Rock. Yes. How did you feel about that portrayal of the... It's an amalgamation is what it is. It's like four people mashed into one from W-4. Yeah. So, you know, but I did use to call him Big Bird. So, but, you know, and apparently he didn't like it. And the station was legitimately in a horrible part of town and you guys thought you were going to die every day you walked into work. Well, we were on Jefferson Avenue, not too far from the rents end, so it wasn't too bad, but it was an old house. When you pulled into the parking lot, the rats would scatter, you know. So you had to watch out for that because they'd eat any food that was left over on the ground. We got a similar vibe outside this studio now. Yeah, but now we have a Robocop statue.

Yes, that's true.

You're keeping everybody protected.

The portrayal of the general manager of W4 in the movie. How accurate was that? None of that was really accurate. That was just a character created for the movie. Yes. Well. That was, that was a, you know, I mean, I remember Howard saying saying um you know you're going to be in the movie

but it's not going to be you you know so that was they have to get your permission to include

that character no that's why they didn't gotcha yeah if they would have called them the doc of rock

then it would have been a totally different thing and i would have got got paid. Correct. They changed a lot, at least some names.

So I understood.
