You know, there's there's 26 00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:04.360 nobody that's more perfect and this send off than you are. Excuse me, 27 00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:09.840 So I just you know, and I'm kind of sort of turning the show 28 00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:13.840 over to you too. I mean, well, first of all, I 29 00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:19.400 want to check in before you start like kind of interviewing me as kind of 30 00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:23.520 like what's going on and what's happening, because I'm sure I've got some listeners 31 00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:30.439 out there going what But before that, you know, you've been you you 32 00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:36.599 had some personal stuff going on, you needed to back away. That was 33 00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:40.000 several months ago, though, you and I stay in touch as we will 34 00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:44.960 always stay in touch. Hell, you can't even die and get rid of 35 00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:47.479 me because I'll just you know, do mediumship and vice versa. So like 36 00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:53.680 we're stuck with each other. Yeah, you know, you know. I 37 00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:57.280 mean, I figure when we're both dead and gone, then we'll move on 38 00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:00.560 into new soul lives and then we'll figure out, you know, we'll find 39 00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:04.719 each other in that next lifetime right the way down. That's say, can't 40 00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:12.120 get rid of me? Well, right back at you, you can't get 41 00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:18.519 rid of me either, so you know, so we're even. But anyways, 42 00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:21.240 do you want to share a little bit about like what's going on with 43 00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:26.160 you and where are you these days? Is there I mean, like exciting 44 00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:31.959 news or anything, because I know my listeners would want to know. Yeah, 45 00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:40.519 I'm well with everything going on. I've gotten my health back, so 46 00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:45.759 that's a big thing. But Billy exciting thing I really have is I will 47 00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:55.279 be releasing my third book on February eighteenth, and it is called God Is 48 00:04:55.319 --> 00:05:09.560 not what you think, nye? What the hell we will definitely be doing 49 00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:17.480 in some future incarnation of me on the radio? How you on talking all 50 00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:24.040 about that? I'm looking forward for it coming out. Remind the listeners of 51 00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:31.199 your first two books. One is We Can Save Her Mother Earth's Climate Change 52 00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:36.120 in US, which isn't just about climate change, it is about our relationship 53 00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:45.639 with ourselves, each other and the planet. And my second book, and 54 00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:49.680 it always amazes me that people think they're so very different that they aren't. 55 00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:56.360 And it's called It's the Little Things two hundred plus Ways to Save Money, 56 00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:00.319 and it is actually two hundred and twenty seven easy, easy, easy ways 57 00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:06.519 that everybody can save money. And if people just implement just a handful of 58 00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:12.120 them, they will be astounded at how much money they can save. And 59 00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:18.199 I cover everything from groceries to travel, to pets, the kids, the 60 00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:24.800 cars, I mean, the whole gamut. So those are my books, 61 00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:31.279 and of course they're on Amazon, because everything's on Amazon. But this show 62 00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:41.480 is this show is about you, and I want to talk about you. 63 00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:50.040 Okay, Well, you know I would say that I was born and ready, 64 00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:58.519 but who knows. It wasn't like I was there. Well, I 65 00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:01.879 mean, I get some part of me was there, but you know exactly 66 00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:06.240 only a little of me slipped through at the beginning, you know, because 67 00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:10.199 you know that's the boring part. I mean, like, how exciting is 68 00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:14.160 it there? For all out of the cave and go shit, I'm back 69 00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:18.360 here again. No, for some of those that was exactly the response. 70 00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:25.759 No, like you said earlier, you've been on Home Times, you think 71 00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:30.199 seven years ish, right, but you've been doing radio and podcasting for a 72 00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:36.720 very long time, haven't you. Yeah. So you know, it's funny 73 00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:42.480 because I've been saying for the last few years, you know, I've been 74 00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:46.519 on air for fifteen years and then it was sixteen years. But you know, 75 00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:55.519 the funny thing is when it came time for me to do kind of 76 00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:05.920 fold in and re emerge, which is what's happening that I went back to 77 00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:13.480 actually look back to my oldest archives to see exactly when did I start, 78 00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:24.959 And what I discovered was I actually started in two thousand and four. Wow, 79 00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:31.679 So I've actually been on some form of being on air for twenty years. 80 00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:35.639 And I had said once a few years back, I'm like, you 81 00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:43.799 know, I loved my radio show, but I also you know, I've 82 00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:50.120 had a lot of different different kinds of shows and that, you know, 83 00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:52.600 but it would be great to you know, make sure I get it to 84 00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:58.120 twenty years. You know, like somehow that was some magic number, and 85 00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:05.600 I just realized it's been twenty years. Well your goals that you got back 86 00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:09.320 on, right, Yeah, though, you know, I do want to 87 00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:15.120 make it, you know known to my my listeners. You know, I 88 00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:20.159 am going to be taking a hiatus and I'm going to do something that I've 89 00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:26.039 done off and on through the whole twenty years, which is I change format, 90 00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:30.600 I change the way things. I changed the title of the show. 91 00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:37.840 The show's had several different titles through the years, and I've had several different 92 00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:43.399 co hosts through the years, and you know, several different So there's always 93 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:52.000 a time where you have to withdraw, re you know, recreate, re 94 00:09:54.120 --> 00:10:03.200 imagine and come back out and and and and hopefully what will be a new 95 00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:09.440 and improved version of yourself. But yeah, it's it's I looked back and 96 00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:18.840 found it was twenty years ago and my first thing was through a company called 97 00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:26.080 Activate, which I don't even think exists anymore. But yeah, so there's 98 00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:31.399 there's there. There is that I actually finally did the research instead of pulling 99 00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:41.720 numbers out of my head on some other part, there's somewhere. But what 100 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:46.519 I love about this is you had a dream, you followed it, but 101 00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:50.799 you weren't afraid to shake it up. Because we both know people who are 102 00:10:50.840 --> 00:11:00.360 stuck in ruts doing what they love but now hate because they're afraid to take 103 00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:05.080 that step back or to reform it, or to you know, improve it 104 00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:11.759 in some way. But I'm really curious to know what got you started on 105 00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:15.120 this path. I mean, what made you say this is where I want 106 00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:24.159 to go. So blame it on Dolly. Blame it on Dolly Parton. 107 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:28.840 Okay, I mean, you know, if you've got to have to blame 108 00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:33.639 it on somebody, I mean, Dolly's as good as anyone. I mean, 109 00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:41.919 who doesn't love Dolly? Right? I So literally what made me fall 110 00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:48.279 in love with the idea to have a radio show before I ever had a 111 00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:56.440 radio show, was watching a movie called Straight Talk. Do you, by 112 00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:01.080 any chance did you ever see Do you remember that movie? Sounds offully familiar. 113 00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:05.720 I must have seen it, because I'm I'm pretty sure I have, 114 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:11.879 but I can't. I'm not placing it right now. So straight Talk, 115 00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:15.440 which I love, I still watch it every now and then. You know, 116 00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:18.279 every few years, I'll haul it out and watch it. It's with 117 00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:24.679 Dolly Parton and James Wood. And it's a very simple premise, this down 118 00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:35.320 on her luck southern dance instructor who's in a just a kind of an unhealthy 119 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:43.480 not not like big time abusive, but just not a good, healthy relationship. 120 00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:48.320 And she finally is tired of this guy that she is living with using 121 00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:54.720 her and she decides to move in, to move out, to pack her 122 00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:58.159 stuff. And she's a dance instructor in a small southern town and she goes 123 00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:05.679 to la and she goes to apply to see if she can get a job 124 00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:13.320 as a receptionist at a radio station, and they mistake her for a radio 125 00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:20.759 psychologist who is coming in to do a new show. And the radio psychologists 126 00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:24.120 are supposed to come in change her mind and just blew them off and never 127 00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:28.720 told them, and she walks in and they stick her in front of a 128 00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:39.639 radio mic, thinking that she's the person I love it. And so, 129 00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:46.120 you know, the whole thing is is you know, part of the promise 130 00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:50.320 is is one of the things that she keeps on getting in trouble as a 131 00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:54.759 as a dance teacher, is she is giving advice to all these guys she's 132 00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:56.519 teaching how to dance. She's you know, you see her at the beginning, 133 00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:58.799 she's like, oh, don't feel that way about yourself, and you 134 00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:05.159 a lot to offer, and if she can't see it, well it's her 135 00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:09.000 loss. And you know, and she like lifted all the spirits. But 136 00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:13.039 her boss was like less talk and more you know, like stuff like this. 137 00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:18.399 But her her dance clients loved her. So when she goes on here 138 00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:28.159 and it's a live call in show, she starts giving good old fashioned common 139 00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:33.639 sense answers. I love it, and you know, and then eventually it 140 00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:39.360 comes out and you know that she's not really a radio psychologist, but everybody 141 00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:45.159 loves her and you know, and so it's this great movie. It's a 142 00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:50.559 feel good movie. But out of that movie came the first time I ever 143 00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:54.399 heard it, this woman calls in and goes, it's just going on and 144 00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:58.320 on and she's going, you know, my husband is mean to me, 145 00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:03.080 and my TI mean to me, and nobody listens to me. And she's 146 00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:07.360 like, and it's allays like, honey, get off the cross. We 147 00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:22.080 need the wood, I guess, and you know, you know, so 148 00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:28.759 she's she's doing this good old like earthy kind of common sense and I was 149 00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:33.679 like, you know, and she takes on this radio psychologist on a panel 150 00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:39.200 who uses all these high fluten words and all of this stuff, and she 151 00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:45.279 basically tells him way to stick it, because you know, she's never been 152 00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:50.679 trained. And so that's what made me want to have a radio show. 153 00:15:50.639 --> 00:16:00.759 I wanted to have a radio show to just friggin give people good advice and 154 00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:11.480 common sense, Like there's so many people out there that are not really calling 155 00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:15.759 it as they see it. The funny thing is, in twenty years, 156 00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:22.320 I've never had that format for the radio show, but that was my first 157 00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:25.799 That was the first thought of what I wanted my radio show to be. 158 00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:30.559 Well, what types of shows did you have? I mean, we all 159 00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:38.159 know this one, but what else did you have? So the first one 160 00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:45.679 my first round of shows, and it stayed outside the box. It was 161 00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:52.639 actually outside the box with doctor Kevin and dar Jane, and dar Jane was, 162 00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:56.360 uh, you've heard me talk about her through the years. She I 163 00:16:56.399 --> 00:17:03.200 called her my spiritual wife. She was my first spiritual business partner. We 164 00:17:03.359 --> 00:17:10.799 used to tease that she was sister Mary Jane because she was raised Catholic and 165 00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:17.240 we would just talk about you know, we did the show together because I 166 00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:23.039 didn't have the ability. I could have people email me questions, but the 167 00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:27.880 first place I started didn't have the ability to have collins. And so we 168 00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:33.200 would talk about things going on in the world and try to take people outside 169 00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:38.440 the box and give them a different perspective. And that first show, which 170 00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:48.440 lasted for a couple of years, you know, I would be the outrageous 171 00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:55.480 one and dar Jane would be the voice of reason, and I would get 172 00:17:55.559 --> 00:18:07.200 all upset by some Shenanigan that some church polls, you know, doing really 173 00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:11.279 un Christian like things, and I'd go at Christians and she's like, now, 174 00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:15.279 stop, you can't say that you're making all the Christians on the same 175 00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:18.279 you know better that, and she'd get right back in my face on me. 176 00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:25.960 We'd go back and forth, but it was always in a semi funny 177 00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:30.799 but loving but really powerful way. And that was the kickoff, and I 178 00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:34.160 fell in love with having a radio show. And that was, like I 179 00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:41.000 said, it started in twenty to two thousand and four. Nice. Nice 180 00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:44.920 And obviously you have done TV, because I know because I coasted with you 181 00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:51.599 for a year and a half. But yeah, you've done multiple TV shows. 182 00:18:52.279 --> 00:19:00.279 Yeah, so you know, I started with the activate, and I 183 00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:06.160 was on Voice America for a while, and I was on another station and 184 00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:11.160 I don't remember. I don't remember what that station was. And then I 185 00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:22.519 was on CBS Radio and I was on CBS Radio for a while. But 186 00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:29.400 by that point, dar Jane had kind of she kind of gone in and 187 00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:36.440 out, and so the format changed a little bit. And then she would 188 00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:41.559 show up sometime, but she didn't quite I mean, she always loved having 189 00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:49.839 us like she always loved it when we did a show together, but she 190 00:19:49.880 --> 00:20:03.279 didn't want to commit to doing a weekly show. Thanks, yep. And 191 00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:12.960 just before CBS Radio, and I'm trying to remember who I was on with 192 00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:22.279 at that point that I was on with another group that brought me in because 193 00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:27.279 I didn't want to renew my contract. I was unhappy with my producers and 194 00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:32.160 I didn't want to renew a contract. But it was before CBS Radio. 195 00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:40.400 But there was a period where I did five shows a week. Ah, 196 00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:44.000 did I a lot? Had Had I ever shared that with you? No? 197 00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:49.440 I didn't know that. Yep, I did about a year of five 198 00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:56.839 shows a week, And I don't know if I can remember, because every 199 00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:06.839 show had a different title. So I'm trying to remember, because this has 200 00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:18.599 to be fifteen years ago at least. And I know that my Monday was 201 00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:27.599 like outside the box. My Tuesday, I think was my planetary influences, 202 00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:37.000 and I and you know, and I know that Friday, and then through 203 00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:42.720 the spiritual lens was Wednesday, and I can't remember what Thursday was. And 204 00:21:42.759 --> 00:22:00.200 then Friday was when I first created the whole concept of you know how in 205 00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:03.920 the Doctor Kevin Show, we had the three segments and the first segment was 206 00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:10.839 outside of the Box, and then behind the curtain was Thursday. And then 207 00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:15.519 my Friday show was what a load of Crap? So I had a weekly 208 00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:18.960 show that was what a load of crap? A weekly show that was behind 209 00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:22.799 you know. So they were all under the Doctor Kevin Austice, but they 210 00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:30.200 had their unique themes for each of the shows, right right. Oh that's 211 00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:34.839 a lot. I don't think people understand how much work it is to do 212 00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:40.000 a radio show, but to do it five days a week, that is 213 00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:47.559 an insane amount of work. Yeah, and at that point I only was 214 00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:51.440 doing I did. I cut it back so it's so it's a half an 215 00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:57.319 hour show, But that's still a lot. I definitely burned out on that, 216 00:22:57.440 --> 00:23:02.599 but it was doing the five days week that somehow crossed me up to 217 00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:11.680 get on to CBS Radio. Why they and they did not and I so 218 00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:15.880 I was doing CBS but if I was going to go on CBS Radio, 219 00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:25.880 they I needed to not be doing the other four days a week somewhere else. 220 00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:30.039 That was part of their contract with me. So that's why it ended. 221 00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:37.279 But CBS Radio was too good because it gave me a coast to coast 222 00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:45.079 audience right right right, Well, now, how did you get from CBS 223 00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:59.000 Radio to own times? So I had a contractual dispute with CBS Radio. 224 00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:10.839 They offered me a renewal, but they wanted to change my time slot and 225 00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:26.200 they also wanted to put some limitations on my content. Yeah, And I 226 00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:32.720 mean like they were all set. I mean like when I went in and 227 00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:37.480 said I'm not signing this contract. I went on and technically because we went 228 00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:45.480 back and forth and back and forth and back and forth, and I and 229 00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:49.839 I think that they thought I was going to give in, and they made 230 00:24:49.839 --> 00:25:00.000 a couple of adjustments, but their content issue, there was a content issue 231 00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:08.079 you and they and I just went in and I just live on air, 232 00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:14.240 said okay, you know my contract is up with CBS Radio. I'm done. 233 00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:21.079 Follow me here. I moved it into a podcast for a while and 234 00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:26.079 I said, and I'm done, and thank you CBS Radio, but I'm 235 00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:30.839 done. And that's how cee guess Radio found out because they literally had had 236 00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:33.759 a contract. But I told him I wouldn't find it if they changed it, 237 00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:41.680 and they played they kind of played chicken with me on it, and 238 00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:48.960 I said, I'm done. And the real thing was this was back I 239 00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:52.359 don't know if you remember it, and part of it was about about I 240 00:25:52.400 --> 00:26:00.960 would be too controversial, and they weren't promoting controversial radio shows at that point. 241 00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:03.440 I mean, you always had your shock jobs, and you always had 242 00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:07.960 some people, but some stations rolled that way and some didn't. And I 243 00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:15.720 was never a shock jock, but I was very controversial, right and just 244 00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:23.240 I mean that still is a sad fond radio or TV or and TV when 245 00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:30.240 they're afraid of the controversial, when they you know, count out to the 246 00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:34.759 you know it has to be this way and you can't say or do this 247 00:26:34.920 --> 00:26:40.799 or that. It makes me crazy. It's been good for you. Well, 248 00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:47.000 they had the reason that they were willing to keep me, but move 249 00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:52.960 my spot was I was in a more prime time spot and a couple of 250 00:26:53.000 --> 00:27:03.799 the sponsors, but the radio show complained about me, and one of the 251 00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:11.720 big complaints was I was going at, going at, going at the State 252 00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:22.359 of Texas because they had This is when that controversy first broke. And I 253 00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:30.680 don't know why, what, how the state of Texas or what in Texas 254 00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:34.680 or what their actual Texas connection was, because it was never explained to me, 255 00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:42.680 but that somehow there was complaints because I was telling the kids who were 256 00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:55.519 getting the new Houghton Mifflin created by Texas books that basically was historically incorrect for 257 00:27:55.720 --> 00:28:02.000 history books. Oh no worries how Texas was wanted to tell the history and 258 00:28:02.160 --> 00:28:07.720 this was like the first state that did that and they were getting away with 259 00:28:07.799 --> 00:28:11.440 it. Still then I called them out. Yep, they still do. 260 00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:18.160 I still think that it should be illegal. But I was every show I 261 00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:22.759 would do a little piece of how the kids that graduate should go back and 262 00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:30.759 sue Texas and that they should be a class action suit. And I said 263 00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:33.000 that they should, you know, and I was like, you should bankrupt 264 00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:37.680 Texas for this. They have messed with your education. They're not giving you 265 00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:41.720 correct information. You could do a class action suit. I even had talked 266 00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:45.039 to a lawyer who said, well, yeah, technically they could do a 267 00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:48.839 class action suit if there was you know, like blah blah blah. And 268 00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:53.359 I was on a soapbox. In fact, the radio station had the sound 269 00:28:53.400 --> 00:28:57.880 of a soapbox of this like creaking sound, which was me. They were 270 00:28:57.920 --> 00:29:07.079 like, there goes doctor Kevin. He's back on his soapbox. I know 271 00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:12.880 it's hard to believe, Laurie. I'm sure I can't imagine, but I 272 00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:19.559 mean, yeah, yeah, they said, we can move you to a 273 00:29:19.640 --> 00:29:25.440 later slot. But the sponsors that we have for that slot, that that 274 00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:30.000 like, were the regular advertiser sponsors for the slot or whatever, said I 275 00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:34.680 had to stop going after Texas. Well. I was like, that's not 276 00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:41.720 going to happen. Well, that's not censorship. Well you moved on, 277 00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:48.880 thank you. I moved on, and you're still here. I'm still here. 278 00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:56.119 And I did a brief for a year or so where I got together 279 00:29:56.200 --> 00:30:10.720 with this guy who had all of this new technology and he met me because 280 00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:15.759 I was teaching at an MBA level boot camp for entrepreneurs and he was one 281 00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:22.039 of my entrepreneurs. And he offered to set me up with my own radio 282 00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:33.480 station on an internet platform, and I tried doing a station for a year 283 00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:41.200 that had like seven or eight shows of different people shows, and I was 284 00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:44.519 always trying to bring in new hosts. I was trying to do kind of 285 00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:49.039 what Home Times did, but I was also trying to run my practice. 286 00:30:49.119 --> 00:30:52.519 I was trying to do it all by myself. I was also teaching, 287 00:30:53.559 --> 00:31:03.279 and I mean I had some really great shows. I had some great people 288 00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:11.359 that were there and doing shows on the station. It was DKRN Doctor Kevin 289 00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:18.519 Radio Network. I love it, and that yep, and that was the 290 00:31:18.599 --> 00:31:22.759 platform. And I can't remember. I think I had seven or eight other 291 00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:32.680 co hosts and I was trying to expand it, but I couldn't do it 292 00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:38.079 all. I just literally reached a boundary where I couldn't do it all. 293 00:31:38.880 --> 00:31:48.240 And the guy with the technology connected with Chris here at all times, and 294 00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:52.920 I let DKRN go and I came on to Own Times, and you know, 295 00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:59.079 like I said at the beginning of the show, I you know, 296 00:31:59.319 --> 00:32:04.920 I look, I thank them for like all of the support, and you 297 00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:10.359 know, I have missed my share of shows in the last especially twelve or 298 00:32:10.359 --> 00:32:15.799 eighteen months, as I was also dealing with some health issues and just had 299 00:32:15.880 --> 00:32:22.519 times where it's just like I just I wasn't able to keep everything. I 300 00:32:22.559 --> 00:32:25.519 couldn't keep all the balls in the air. And they were always very understanding 301 00:32:25.559 --> 00:32:32.599 and very kind about it. Nice nice, So yeah, so that's how 302 00:32:32.640 --> 00:32:38.119 it started. But it started a little company called the Activate offering me my 303 00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:47.640 own show. Nice and Me and Miss darr Jane duke in it out over 304 00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:52.400 everything and anything in the sun. I mean we agreed it.

And 320 00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:44.239 then I also had the TV show Dragon, j Unicorns and other Creative Creatures, 321 00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:58.559 right right, yeah, yeah, for buy and about artists, creatives 322 00:34:58.599 --> 00:35:05.039 actually creatives of any kind.

We'll know, we'll let them know. 336 00:36:43.480 --> 00:36:46.039 What is it that you offer, what is it that you teach? And 337 00:36:46.079 --> 00:36:52.000 so when I think of some of the stories, I think of the people 338 00:36:52.119 --> 00:37:00.559 who maybe weren't famous, you know, you know, they weren't they didn't 339 00:37:00.599 --> 00:37:05.519 have best sellers, they weren't celebrities. I had a few celebrities along the 340 00:37:05.519 --> 00:37:13.000 way at different times, Sean, I don't know. I mean, there 341 00:37:13.440 --> 00:37:16.960 were some celebrity people here and there, But my big thing was ever celebrities. 342 00:37:17.960 --> 00:37:22.760 It was always about people who I felt like had a story that could 343 00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:34.000 inspire or motivate people, right right, yeah, give hop Yeah, that's 344 00:37:34.440 --> 00:37:43.400 people who make other people realize that it's okay to have their hopes and their 345 00:37:43.480 --> 00:37:51.559 dreams too. You're really good at that, you know, thank you. 346 00:37:51.559 --> 00:37:59.760 You know, I had some very seasoned gas through the years, and you 347 00:37:59.800 --> 00:38:05.440 know, and I had ebb and flows in all the places I went. 348 00:38:06.000 --> 00:38:10.679 Times when my show was hot and on a street and booking the guest and 349 00:38:10.719 --> 00:38:16.199 doing the stuff and everything was easy and stuff like that, and then I 350 00:38:16.320 --> 00:38:22.960 had periods where I might get, for whatever reason, lost in the weeds. 351 00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:27.360 It's hard to say I was perfectly consistent for twenty years. That would 352 00:38:27.400 --> 00:38:37.000 be a lie for everybody you know. No, perfectly consistent for twenty years, 353 00:38:37.320 --> 00:38:46.039 It just doesn't happen. But I always the people that stay with me 354 00:38:47.199 --> 00:38:58.760 are the people that there was the woman who survived going from being raised in 355 00:38:58.800 --> 00:39:06.199 an abusive household to going to an abusive marriage, to escaping both of them, 356 00:39:06.840 --> 00:39:10.639 to writing a book, to starting a nonprofit to help. In fact, 357 00:39:10.679 --> 00:39:15.760 I think you were on that show, hosted that show with me. 358 00:39:15.519 --> 00:39:28.159 Yeah, I mean yeah, she stands out to me. Some of the 359 00:39:28.199 --> 00:39:37.000 other people you know, uh, who were I always remember Nicole Brandon, 360 00:39:37.719 --> 00:39:42.840 and Nicole did a few shows with me, and Nicole actually had her own 361 00:39:43.599 --> 00:39:47.039 TV show, and she had her own radio show, and I guested on 362 00:39:47.159 --> 00:39:51.800 her TV show, and I guessed it on her radio show, and she 363 00:39:52.039 --> 00:40:04.599 guested on my radio show, and that she was. She was somebody who 364 00:40:04.800 --> 00:40:09.599 had had a lot of early successes as a child and a young adult in 365 00:40:12.079 --> 00:40:17.920 theater and in movies and in winning pageants, and then had a crash and 366 00:40:19.039 --> 00:40:23.840 had to come back and had to move forward and reput her life together and 367 00:40:23.960 --> 00:40:32.079 reset her priorities and got into following a much more spiritual path. And you 368 00:40:32.119 --> 00:40:37.760 know what she could share from that. I loved this guy that I had 369 00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:40.800 on and I had him on for series. And I used to do series 370 00:40:40.840 --> 00:40:44.880 sometimes where I would have somebody that I felt like had a lot to offer 371 00:40:45.599 --> 00:40:51.559 and would do a little series. I think I did a series on own 372 00:40:51.679 --> 00:40:54.480 Times that you were involved with, which was like with the maturo path. 373 00:40:57.360 --> 00:41:02.519 Is that ringing any bells? We could be wrong? M M. I 374 00:41:02.599 --> 00:41:06.840 know we did a show with a naturopath. I don't know if we did 375 00:41:06.840 --> 00:41:14.920 a couple. Yeah, there was a naturopath Mary and killing back doctor Mary 376 00:41:14.920 --> 00:41:21.239 and killing Beck and she did now I'm trying to cross over. Did she 377 00:41:21.320 --> 00:41:25.000 do radio shows with me and TV shows? Or radio and or TV shows? 378 00:41:25.280 --> 00:41:32.079 But she really brought a lot of different perspectives from an alternative somebody you 379 00:41:32.119 --> 00:41:39.480 know as the naturopathic doctor explained a lot of stuff, gave people simple things 380 00:41:39.519 --> 00:41:46.840 they could do and different ways to see and do things that always stood out 381 00:41:46.880 --> 00:41:59.159 to me. And I'm gonna say right up front that go ahead, I'm 382 00:41:59.159 --> 00:42:06.000 looking and had a break. I'm surprised usually we would have have had a 383 00:42:06.000 --> 00:42:15.079 break by now. So yeah. So, And I have to say some 384 00:42:15.119 --> 00:42:19.760 of my favorite shows had to do with my co hosts, You and I. 385 00:42:20.119 --> 00:42:24.519 We had some incredible shows where it was just you and I, yeah, 386 00:42:24.760 --> 00:42:37.159 talking about stuff. I had some incredible shows with Matt Matt Connerton, 387 00:42:37.280 --> 00:42:45.239 who who has been involved with a lot of my different radio and TV shows, 388 00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:52.199 And from the perspective of I really believed, and I still really do 389 00:42:52.360 --> 00:43:05.840 believe that when Matt tried to give a here is a view of politics, 390 00:43:07.280 --> 00:43:19.599 that here's a view of politics which didn't which wasn't either left or right. 391 00:43:20.199 --> 00:43:28.039 And it got harder obviously once we got into magaland right. But I always 392 00:43:28.079 --> 00:43:42.880 appreciated that he could he he could bring out and make people try to have 393 00:43:43.119 --> 00:43:52.960 better critical thinking skills around this as the less you know, just engaged into 394 00:43:52.039 --> 00:44:02.960 repeating things right. That's definitely one of Matt's strong suits. He had an 395 00:44:02.960 --> 00:44:08.960 old school reporters way where he puts the facts out there and doesn't try to 396 00:44:09.119 --> 00:44:16.239 tell you how to think about it, you know what I mean? Yeah, 397 00:44:16.360 --> 00:44:25.239 yeah, and I think that that that was it. Some of my 398 00:44:25.360 --> 00:44:35.440 favorite shows were also when I was doing the regular poetry shows M and I 399 00:44:35.519 --> 00:44:45.519 think we only did I mean, we did some of them. But I 400 00:44:45.599 --> 00:44:52.280 had a period where I had somebody that came on once a month regularly and 401 00:44:52.480 --> 00:44:57.960 she was a poet, and we got other poets to call in. And 402 00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:05.280 it was back when I was living in Arizona, and I'm trying to I 403 00:45:05.280 --> 00:45:07.320 think I was on Home times at that point, but it might have been 404 00:45:07.360 --> 00:45:21.920 the place I was before initially, and that it was that I got to 405 00:45:22.480 --> 00:45:30.719 listen to. I got to, oh, I'm having some kind of feedback 406 00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:40.280 here. I got as you listen to, I got to listen to other 407 00:45:40.320 --> 00:45:45.559 people's poetry. I got to share my poetry. We got to talk to 408 00:45:45.719 --> 00:45:49.480 meaning and the story behind it. And of course, as you know, 409 00:45:49.960 --> 00:45:54.760 my poetry is always a big deal for me. Yeah, as something that 410 00:45:54.800 --> 00:46:00.480 I want to share and I want people to share their poetry. And being 411 00:46:00.519 --> 00:46:06.119 able to give artists of any kind, whether it was on the TV show 412 00:46:06.320 --> 00:46:15.280 or the radio show, giving artists a chance to expose, to share their 413 00:46:15.440 --> 00:46:21.039 art, to share their creativity. We're always some of my favorite shows. 414 00:46:21.840 --> 00:46:30.119 Nice. So what's the plan going forward? Right? What are we think 415 00:46:30.159 --> 00:46:37.760 it? Well, well, you know I'm going to be working on I'm 416 00:46:37.800 --> 00:46:40.840 going to take some time off. And I do this every now and then. 417 00:46:42.440 --> 00:46:45.000 I think two years ago, I think I took the summer off and 418 00:46:46.880 --> 00:46:52.280 Home Times was very gracious about just letting me do replays for the summer because 419 00:46:52.320 --> 00:47:00.320 every now and then again I got to freshen up, yes, and I've 420 00:47:00.320 --> 00:47:07.760 got to kind of redo things. And so I am in the process of 421 00:47:08.920 --> 00:47:14.760 taking a break, like I said, you know, last year, as 422 00:47:14.800 --> 00:47:17.840 you know, and I've made a few references occasionally on the radio show, 423 00:47:19.639 --> 00:47:22.679 but I had a lot of health issues last year, and I'm you know, 424 00:47:22.880 --> 00:47:30.599 back in the saddle, but still kind of catching up and moving forward 425 00:47:32.280 --> 00:47:39.440 in that saddle. And as you know, because you also had some struggles, 426 00:47:39.800 --> 00:47:45.480 there's a lot of things that kind of get pushed to the wayside. 427 00:47:45.639 --> 00:47:51.000 And so I'm in the middle of a huge number of life changes right now. 428 00:47:51.840 --> 00:47:57.559 And what I want to say to people is go to the Doctor Kevin's 429 00:47:57.559 --> 00:48:04.199 Show Facebook page. As I look to reinvent myself and I've been making a 430 00:48:04.280 --> 00:48:07.880 com I've been making, you know, I've had several shows with Ashley Oldstein 431 00:48:07.960 --> 00:48:14.719 on who is going to come in and co host with me when it's time 432 00:48:14.760 --> 00:48:20.719 to launch the show again, and we're kind of looking at some different formats 433 00:48:20.760 --> 00:48:28.559 and setting up things differently, maybe resurrecting some stuff I haven't done for a 434 00:48:28.599 --> 00:48:40.159 while. And I think the show is going to be a little less guest 435 00:48:40.239 --> 00:48:47.480 focused. There'll still be guests, but I'm kind of playing with the idea 436 00:48:49.360 --> 00:48:54.760 and again, go to Facebook, put in the Doctor Kevin Show if you 437 00:48:54.920 --> 00:49:00.440 have weigh ins, especially people that have been following me for a long time, 438 00:49:00.519 --> 00:49:04.679 maybe have jumped venues with me, so to speak. Venues not the 439 00:49:04.760 --> 00:49:13.039 right word, but it works. As I've kind of revamped and redone myself 440 00:49:13.719 --> 00:49:19.639 that I'm certainly open to. Hey, you know you used to do this, 441 00:49:19.920 --> 00:49:22.760 like I used to do a quote every show. Yeah, that was 442 00:49:22.800 --> 00:49:27.239 I think before you or were you on the when I did the quote thing, 443 00:49:27.239 --> 00:49:30.760 because I've gone off and on on it. You did it at the 444 00:49:30.800 --> 00:49:38.199 beginning that I've heard you do it, you know before. Yeah, when 445 00:49:38.239 --> 00:49:45.119 I was still back living in Phoenix, I spent time every week going through 446 00:49:45.159 --> 00:49:50.079 and coming up and I kept a whole file of quotes that I felt were 447 00:49:50.119 --> 00:49:58.760 inspiring or motivating or thought provoking. And I was really into trying to engage 448 00:50:00.800 --> 00:50:07.440 my listeners into always thinking outside the box or or having a different experience with 449 00:50:07.519 --> 00:50:16.400 things. And so I'm moving back, and what I want to say to 450 00:50:16.440 --> 00:50:22.360 people is again, go to the Facebook the Doctor Kevin Show, make sure 451 00:50:22.360 --> 00:50:27.159 you like it, make sure you follow it. That's where all the announcements 452 00:50:27.159 --> 00:50:34.079 will come out when all the dust is settled. I'm taking a little time 453 00:50:34.159 --> 00:50:36.559 off, but you know, it's not like I'm going to take the rest 454 00:50:36.599 --> 00:50:38.880 of the year off. Not my style. But I've got a lot of 455 00:50:38.920 --> 00:50:45.639 things that i want to like kind of set up. So I'm in some 456 00:50:45.679 --> 00:50:52.280 conversations with Ashley about you know, what she brings to the show. You 457 00:50:52.360 --> 00:51:00.400 know, Ashley. Yes, in fact, you were the one when you 458 00:51:00.440 --> 00:51:02.800 had to step away from co host. You were the one that said to 459 00:51:02.840 --> 00:51:07.559 me you could choose you consider Ashley. Do you remember that. I do 460 00:51:07.639 --> 00:51:15.440 remember that. I just think she's got great energy. Yeah, she's a 461 00:51:15.440 --> 00:51:22.880 good match for you. And so if you ever wondered if I listened to 462 00:51:22.960 --> 00:51:32.800 you, there there's your proof. Well, thank you. Is I don't 463 00:51:32.840 --> 00:51:37.280 know that we're going to resurrect the quote thing that we've talked about it. 464 00:51:37.480 --> 00:51:45.000 I think we're going to maybe do a little astrological reminder, so we'll still 465 00:51:45.039 --> 00:51:50.679 have the astrology show once a month, but maybe every week we'll remind people 466 00:51:50.679 --> 00:51:54.559 what's going on that week, because one month is an awful lot of astrology 467 00:51:54.599 --> 00:52:00.119 to try to absorb. But maybe do a little reminder after this week this 468 00:52:00.159 --> 00:52:04.519 is going into here, so you know, you can go back and listen 469 00:52:04.519 --> 00:52:09.840 to the show if you want, but just his' a little reminder. But 470 00:52:09.920 --> 00:52:15.480 I think I'm going to go back a little well, definitely a little closer 471 00:52:15.519 --> 00:52:24.760 to the early me and dar Jane days where Ashley and I will do maybe 472 00:52:24.800 --> 00:52:30.760 the first fifteen minutes of kind of chatting and talking about stuff, then have 473 00:52:30.840 --> 00:52:34.719 a guest for a half an hour, and then have fifteen minutes wrap up. 474 00:52:35.159 --> 00:52:37.320 I don't know, what do you think about that format. I think 475 00:52:37.320 --> 00:52:40.800 it's a great format that's worked really well when you and I have done it 476 00:52:40.840 --> 00:52:49.480 that way, so I you know, I think it works really well because 477 00:52:49.920 --> 00:52:55.400 then it's not too much pressure on anybody and you're still you know, you 478 00:52:55.400 --> 00:53:00.519 guys are still the star of the show, highlighting somebody up. Does that 479 00:53:00.599 --> 00:53:08.719 makes sense? Yeah? And I really want to be you know, I've 480 00:53:08.760 --> 00:53:17.599 been interviewed on more radio shows and more TV shows than I can count I've 481 00:53:17.639 --> 00:53:22.840 sat in the guest seat a thousand and one time. In fact, I 482 00:53:22.880 --> 00:53:29.039 met you because you were co hosting a TV show and I was a guest 483 00:53:29.079 --> 00:53:32.360 on it. Yeah, well, you just kind of crashed that TV show. 484 00:53:32.440 --> 00:53:39.559 But I think you were not our scheduled guest. You just showed up 485 00:53:39.599 --> 00:53:44.280 and we brought your right in and you and I hit it right on it. 486 00:53:47.760 --> 00:53:54.000 Yeah. Well, you know, I had an open invitation from your 487 00:53:54.039 --> 00:53:59.079 co host on that show. You just never met me to to gate crash 488 00:53:59.119 --> 00:54:00.800 whenever I was in town, because I didn't live here at the time, 489 00:54:01.639 --> 00:54:12.800 right right, Oh, I know I was in Yep. Norm Moody, 490 00:54:15.159 --> 00:54:23.800 I help drive m oh, I'm sure he is somewhere. So yeah, 491 00:54:23.840 --> 00:54:28.840 so I'm kind of again, you know, I'm kicking some stuff around. 492 00:54:29.480 --> 00:54:38.599 But I think that I originally wanted to do radio because I wanted to share 493 00:54:38.920 --> 00:54:46.599 my gifts and talent. And I think that at some point around along the 494 00:54:46.639 --> 00:54:52.800 way, I though I have had guests, and I started to say this 495 00:54:52.880 --> 00:54:59.880 before, I have had guests multiple times, Like I can't count how many 496 00:55:00.480 --> 00:55:07.320 that I've had people that were seasoned interviewees that came and said, you are 497 00:55:07.360 --> 00:55:14.320 one of the best interviewers I ever had, because I would not give them 498 00:55:14.320 --> 00:55:19.199 the canned questions. I would not ask them what they're publicists sent. I 499 00:55:19.239 --> 00:55:25.440 would really try to engage them into meaningful conversations that could allow the audience to 500 00:55:25.480 --> 00:55:31.599 fall in love with them.
