You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Let's talk tech with Marshall Carlier, who joins me in the studio. Marshall
Caller, is great to see you. Happy summer. The weather is beautiful.
I hope your drive was a little bit easier. Wait, we've got
to turn on our microphone. Hey, the weather's beautiful for what two hours
ago. I'll take it. I'll take it. It's better than that June
gloom that we've been seeing. That may gray. Look at that. Look
at that out the window. It's sad. It's eight o'clock and you're still
light out. I know I love that, I really do. I do.
Because you could see the plants, the trees, the flowers in that
Wonky building, the Warner Brothers building. Well, it's a beautiful looking building.
It's just nobody in it. I just wonder what was the inspo for
the design. It's it's interesting. You know some architect was paid very well
for the design. I wasn't that person. So I don't know if I
can pass judgment. If you have a chance to look it up, I
mean, it's it's kind of you. I'll post a picture of yes,
please, I'll do please. Do You had the opportunity to watch the Tesla
annual meeting. Now I did that for us. Believe me, it wasn't
an opportunity, but it is. When we talk about Tesla, they are
leading the way when it comes to EV's and I would say, as Tesla
goes, so goes the industry in many respects. Did we learn anything about
where Tesla was headed and where other EV companies may go? Well, you
know, it was a little less just about Tesla the car. It was
about what Tesla's got in mind for the future. And I liked that because
I mean, it's got the car. Fine. Here was one of the
things Elon Well, first of all, you know, Elon did get his
gigantic salary. He did get it. He did get it, but that's
based on perform mormanths. So I don't know that it's that horrible that he's
making a quack a billion dollars. Well, they had from a stock valuation
standpoint, they had a really rough year. Yeah, but it was originally
given to him in twenty eighteen. So there's all kinds of legal complications that
I don't understand. I just say good for him because I don't know anybody
else who would care to run a company with so much stuff going on.
So he came up with one idea which I thought was crazy, So not
really crazy crazy smart. Each Tesla as a computer. It right, Each
computer are not it's not being used, it's parked in a garage. When
the Tesla is, you know, around, the amount of computing power available
for it to do other things is huge. Think about that. So what
if he built a network that people would agree to that when you're not using
your car, Tesla could use your computer for whatever. Think about Amazon web
Services. Amazon web Services generated twenty five billion dollars. Okay, I understand
the practical application of Amazon Web Services. What I don't see as of yet
would be the reason to allow Tesla the company to use that computer in the
car in some capacity beyond the car. He didn't talk exactly, but what
if they paid you? What if they gave you a deal on a new
battery? What if? I mean, there is any number of compensations.
Also, he talked about a Tesla fleet. Now let's say you're not using
your Tesla. Okay, uh, you wanted to make money for you once
self driving cars. Get there, push a button on your app, and
your car becomes part of the fleet and become like an uber driver without a
person in it, and you make some money that scarce the hell out of
me. Scares more than that. That's right, we're both thinking the same
thing, but creative thinking. Well, he's already said that he wanted all
of his platforms, even including X, to be kind of one stop shops,
where it is a commercial marketplace, an exchange of money banking and can
do more than what it's initially set out to do exactly well, and that's
the thing. The cyber truck, for example, right now, it's only
sold in the US. I saw a cyber truck. This has nothing to
do with this, but somebody had polished it up. You ever drive behind
an oil tanker with the polished back and you could see a mirror finishes.
The whole car looked like that. I don't like the look of the cyber
trucks, but I like the ones that are they've either had it wrapped in
a certain er right, or like a Matte black something like that. I
like, we said, Matt black one just right. I don't like the
stainless steel aluminum, half dish, half done. Yeah, you know,
have you finished that car? Can you put put a little polish on it?
Something? Just like the Deloreans. If you're old enough to remember the
Deloreans, they looked fine when they first came off the lot, but they
did not age or get or they did not age well as far as the
look of that stainless steel. And for those of you who don't remember the
Deloreans, if you watched Back to the Future Michael J. Fox and Back
to the Future, that was Doc's car and it was a beautiful car.
Yes, and you know, I definitely go out with any guy who had
one at the time. Yeah, you know your husband sitting right there.
That was so long afo, but I'm still here. You know, I
don't want to hear about them. Well, you know, it was a
long time ago. But they are going to expand, expand the cyber truck
past the US, but they'd have to do it totally redesign for Europe and
Chinese markets and there will not be an international one before the year. Did
I read this right? That they're starting to market the cyber trucks to law
enforcement, that they would be used in a law enforcement capacity. He did
not talk about that, but I think what a brilliant idea get those little
protesters. That's Marcia Colliers, she said that. Marcia said that could get
me in trouble. No, I just in whatever. If policemen need something
that looks like an armored truck, well, I always talk about always think
about the practicality and utility of it. Does it provide a purpose? Does
it serve a purpose? Yeah? Yeah, it would help. You know.
I wasn't about any protesters in particular. I'm talking about helping the police
get done what they have to get done. And police, you know,
have never really had anything since the Crown vic that they used the Ford interceptors.
I think for the most part, those are ubiquitous, they're just about
everywhere. But something like a cyber truck, I would love to hear someone
from law enforcement say yeay or nay on that as far as whether it could
be used or how it would be used. Real quick, before we go
break, he did talk about the Optimists his robot humanoid helper robots, and
I'm sitting there listening to it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you'll be
all able to customize the personality, customize the voice, and we'll get to
know you as well. No, and that's the story they gave me.
Sony gave me on My Robot Dog. That really it's But anyway, when
he finally said wouldn't it be great to have your own C three po,
he totally sold me right there. Well, there's C three po and there's
I Robot and that could go either way, right, But that's the thing.
It probably starts out a C three po, then all of a sudden,
it's I Robot and is trying to kill you. Yeah, there's that,
But maybe if you're just really nice to it, I don't know,
I don't know. See, that's the thing we'll find out or can turn
into the determinator. It's Later with mo Kelly can if I Am six forty
one live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. We're going to talk about WWDC twenty
four, the Apple Developer Convention. In just a moment. You're listening to
Later with Mo Kelly on demand from KFI AM six forty Now. Marsha Collier,
I am not one of these Apple fanboys like maybe Mark Ronner. Okay,
I'm I don't have anything Apple in my life, but I understand the
importance of Apple to some people. I make it very clear. I'm a
Google guy, I'm an Android guy. But the WWDC twenty four Developers Conference
is still very consequential, and that's why I try to watch it, and
I, you know, I want to see what they're doing. Maybe they're
doing something fabulous that I'll be jealous of and will make me go to the
other side because I too, am an Android. I write books about Android.
I love Android, so you know, and especially having a pixel phone,
Google drops all their tests and secret stuff on us. It's immersing,
yes, yes, we get it first. If it doesn't work out,
then it disappears. Is the Apple experience improving? When I say improving,
there's certain things that the Google experience can do or does differently than Apple,
and if you like those things, you tend to be an Android supporter.
Obviously Apple has a very loyal fan base, but in terms of software innovation,
I would say for the most part, they tend to trail Google.
They do lead the way in hardware innovation. Okay, okay, well let's
talk a little turkey here. Let's talk about this. First of all,
everything was the big deal was all about AI AI AI AI. How there's
going to be AI And this all reminds me of how do you remember when
everything was going to be five G five G everything? Oh? Yeah,
that does Did you know that if we continue on the track we're going by
twenty twenty seven, the calculated energy usage will be the same annual energy as
the Netherlands just by AI, A whole country's worth of electricity being used just
to push AI. If they go through with all of these things. Now
we don't have a grid that's holding barely everything together that we need. But
hey, you know you can't have a gas pool heater anymore because electric electricity.
Right, So there's that, and that's a subject for another time.
But yes, everything was on AI. It can help write emails, reports,
personal text messages, but I don't need help with that. I don't
want help with that. So where does that This was just a hypothetical general
questions. Where does that? What does that mean for me? It means
they get to read your stuff, point because they have to read it to
then offer an alternative. Yes, someone from the station was coming down in
the elevator and they got to pop up from Google. And I'm sure you're
seeing them too. And it's about Google AI. Want Google AI to help
you. What do I do with this? I said, push it down,
don't agree to it. Just don't don't let it infest your phone because
once, once it's out of the bag, it's kind of like herpes.
It sticks around. That is an interesting analogy. I wasn't quite ready for
that. I thought you were going to make some sort of grandiose technological paris.
It is like this era of the industrial resolution. No, it's more
like Herpe's. Yeah right, it just doesn't go away, keeps coming back.
But anyway, so the AI is going to be everywhere. It can
fake voices, it can do all the things that I really have no interest.
It'll draw pictures for you, which is great. I guess that's coming
right now with Google Gemini under Google Phones, which I keep saying no to.
You may not be a Marvel fan like we are, but I know
Mark and Toula would get this. There's this line line see, oh,
that's right, that's right. There's a line in Age of Ultron where Ultron,
this super AI robot, basically is saying that humans have this this substance
called vibranium, and the only thing that they can think of is to turn
it into a Frisbee, which was Captain in America's shield. Yeah. Yeah.
The comparison I'm making here is like, Okay, we have this AI
technology in capability, but we're just making pictures with it. We're not really
seemingly trying to do anything. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't kid yourself.
Don't you think the government's been I'm just talking about us, you know.
I was like, oh, let's make a I take pictures of Donald
Trump or whatever. We're not. Oh yeah, and it'll cook your meals
for you and everything. My goodness. Yeah, we're just scratching the surface.
It would seem. It would seem. But like we said, remember
the story of five G. So there's a new Seri which is also driven
by AI, and it can set an alarm late at night without waking the
person sleeping next to you. Wait wait wait wait doesn't Google do that already?
Yeah? Okay, go ahead, continue, It'll clean up your photos
the AI wait wait wait wait wait doesn't Google photos back up? Doesn't I
do that already? Well? These abilities are on Pixel and Samsung phones,
but it will remove unwanted people. Wait, wait, my Google that's called
magic eraser. Yeah, okay, all right, okay, but with Apple
Intelligence, you can also search for photos with more natural search terms, like
pics of Gina riding a skateboard. I'm pretty sure I can do that on
my phone right now. Yeah, and kind of Google Photos. Yeah.
We've been able to do that for years. Okay, okay. Now they're
having something brand new called gen Moji. You might think of something we might
know as emoji Kitchen when it takes to emojis and mashes. Yeah, yeah,
that's what it is. It's pretty exciting. When one an eggplant writing
a cheeseburger, you can probably put that together. Okay, but an egg
plant is not an egg plant in the world of emojis. Egg plant,
right, never mind? Never mind? Okay, you know anyway, you
can also customize your home screen. Wait wait, you couldn't custom is your
home screen on an iPhone? Mark Ronner? Can you customize your home screen
on an iPhone? It does not interest me the least bit, but I'm
excited for people I've never tried. It's never occurred to me. Okay,
Robin, you say you can customize your iPhone home screen? Is that correct?
Yes? Okay, what what does that allow you to do? What
is the extent of the customization. It's not very extent. Okay, all
right, I have a wallpaper and I get to move apps around. Oh
well, I got twelve o clocks, which is so cool. We have
all sorts of widgets we could put there. We could actually put a different
launcher on top of it if we want to all together, different home screen.
Yeah, we could move but multiple we're talking here about Apple, and
Apple has a new os Sequoia or Max, and they're improving the watch and
oh it has a new passwords app. I thought we like Google has a
passwords maniture. We have Google passwords. Yeah, but this is going to
allow them to generate strong passwords for all their logins. Okay, welcome to
twenty and fourteen. But okay, okay, tapp to cash, Smarter air
pods, and Primetime TV plus. It's the same thing as Amazon Prime Video
but feature. Yeah, all right, and so for all on the Apple
stock. Oh and the Vision Pro, there's a new edition, even bigger
and better. We we covered the Vision Pro and wasn't ready for prime time,
so maybe it's ready for afternoon. So there you go. And Honestly,
I am not laughing at Apple. I think Apple did great work in
the days of Steve Jobs, and I think he would be spinning in his
grave. And here's the thing. Steve Jobs had an understanding of ingenuity and
innovation. I don't know, and I'm not an Apple fan, so I'm
speaking as an outsider. I don't know if they have the same type of
innovation material innovation that I just get. I just get really happy every time
my phone comes up with a new thing and I'm going to try it.
I try I answer a phone call and before I get to it, it
answers for me, Hello, this is Marcia. I love this. I
love this, and it asks who it is if there's no phone number.
And now, just so you know, the next thing they're adding in is
they will run the phone number to see who that is that's calling you,
because you know, sometimes you don't answer a call and you always wonder who
is that person? You go and look it up on Google. Yeah,
yeah, no, it'll do it right in your phone now. But you
know that's not to say that Apple won't come up with it soon. Look,
I'm thinking maybe twenty thirty two. They're in there Marshall Collier. I
have to go, but I appreciate you coming in and letting us know that
we're not missing anything on the other side of the of the technological world.
But I still want to hear from all of you and listen to my podcast
on the iHeartRadio app. Just search Marsha Collier and you'll find me in between
the mo Kellys. That was pretty smooth. Gotta do this all the time.
It's Later with mo Kelly, caf I AM six forty. We're live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand
from KFI AM six forty and SpaceX, another company under the direction of Elon
Musk, is in the news. SpaceX has been sued by engineers who were
fired after accusing Elon Musk of sexism a case of wrongful termination. The engineers,
four women and four men, claim Musk ordered their firing back in twenty
twenty two after they circulated a letter calling Elon Musk a distraction and embarrassment and
I quote also urged executives to disavow sexually charged comments he had made on social
media. The lawsuit was filed in state court here in Los Angeles. Let
me just stop there. Those are the general specifics. And we live in
a world now and also an employment environment post me too. And also we
had this social media aspect where it's not just what happens in the office,
but also what happens outside of the office on social media. The world,
the work world is very different now than when I started back in the early
nineteen nineties. It's just different. I'm not saying that it's worse. I'm
just saying it's different how And I have some general rules, like I do
not comment or compliment women on how they look. I don't want anything to
be misconstrued. That's just me and for other people. In fact, I
was talking about this. I was kidding around with Bill Handle when I was
speaking to him earlier this morning, when I was doing a hit with him.
But it's a conversation topic that does come up often in the office where
those lines are, where those boundaries are. And some people are of the
opinion, hey, if you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to
worry about. But it's not just what you say, it's how it may
land, how it may be received, just because you, in your mind
may think Hey, that's a nice looking dress you have on. It accentuates
your curves out of the guy's mouth. He may think that's a compliment.
I it's a woman. She may think it's he's being a pig and it's
offensive and it's worthy of going to HR. I'm at a different point in
my career than I was in my twenties, and I'm quite sure I said
some things working in the music industry that I can't say today. I'm pretty
sure I can't remember off the top of my head, but I'm pretty sure.
Let's just say I did. And Keana, you are at a different
point in your career and you're working, i would say, relatively near the
beginning of your professional career, and you are doing it in a post me
too world? Is there a line for you? And I know you're not
speaking for all women, I'm not saying that, but are there things that
you notice or that you find offensive or is there like a general rule book
that you follow when dealing with other coworkers? Usually there is a line for
me, like I can joke around, I can mess around. I feel
like I have that like sarcastic radar on myself where I'm like, I know
when somebody is doing it as doing something as a joke or not, and
when that joke pushes the line a little bit. And so in instances where
some might be complimenting me, but complimenting me in a way that makes it
like something that my fiance would tell me, that's a little too far.
Okay, let me go back to the story. The lawsuit says that Elon
Musk's conduct fostered a pervasive sexist culture at SpaceX, where female engineers were routinely
subjected to harassment and sexist comments, and the concerns about workplace culture were ignored.
Senior engineers, for example, used euphemisms for sexual acts and male genitals
to describe rocket components. According to the lawsuit, I know when you work
in entertainment, it's a much more loose environment. Perfect example, I was
kidding with Marshall Collier in the last segment on air about eggplant emojis, and
if you don't know what that means, well you need to go Google and
catch up. But I'm saying you still have to be mindful in the these
work environments. That's different now, and I wouldn't say that there is a
pervasive sexist culture across all workplaces. But I have worked for some places where
it definitely existed, and that was even before me too, And I wonder,
you know, like, for example, I don't do hugs. I
don't do hugs in the office. Some places they do, some people they
feel comfortable with it. I don't because I'm always concerned about something being misconstrued.
So I always defer, and I err on the side of caution.
I don't know, Mark, what about you, in your many years and
working in various newsrooms and environments. Well, Bethany hugged me earlier, and
I'm wondering if if I should sue her. Well, as funny as that
is, there's a lot of truth to that, I will defend Bethany,
She asked. She asked, she did get consent. My general rule is
I try never to motor boat women in the office. How's that is that?
Okay? What is motor boating? Nothing? That's what I thought.
No times has changed. I remember my first newspaper, people would routinely walk
around and give shoulder rubs, and that's not a thing anymore. Look,
when I worked in the music business, the stuff that they talk about now,
what is going on at SpaceX. To take it back to the story
is nothing in comparison what we were dealing with in the music industry. I
won't tell you the person's name, but there's a guest who I work with
in the music industry, and she was telling us the story off air of
how she was working for a music executive. Remember when we talked about Puff
Daddy Diddy and all the stuff that you know was going on years ago.
It's I don't be surprised now. Well, she was telling us a story
about a music executive and I think it was her boss who asked her to
come into the office and he laid his Johnson on the table to proposition her
subtle that's called Tuesday or it was back then. You know, the world
has changed so much you think that's unthinkable. Now of course that says,
of course that's harassment. Of course they should sue. But it was so
pervasive and permissive back then. Just right on the table, Yes, literally
slap a dictionary down on top of it or something. You the first part
of that word is correct. Yes, Well, I'm looking at the photos
of your rocket now and I'm not saying Elon Musk isn't a creep, but
you know that these rockets, they do look an awful lot like uh well,
if you look at Blue Origin most definitely Oh whoa, yeah, please,
I'm being serious Now. That doesn't mean that it's then okay to have
fallus jokes in the office all day long to either intentionally or unintentionally make people
uncomfortable. I'm not saying that. I am saying that it's probably more widespread
than people are willing to admit, you know, and I and I appreciate.
I just had a conversation with the cod work or today asking about some
other things where the line began and ended with certain things about race. And
I appreciate that, if only because the more you talk about these things,
you bet have a better understanding for one another. I don't know what this
workplace environment was at SpaceX. I do know that there seems to be a
pattern and a consistent complaint about places like SpaceX and Tesla regarding real permissive work
environments. That's all I'm gonna say. Because this is not the first type
of lawsuit that we've seen come out of SpaceX or Tesla being directly attributable to
Elon Musk and then how it works out in the court is how they work
it out in the court. But Wednesday's lawsuit accuses SpaceX and Musk of retaliation
as I was saying, and wrongful termination in violation of California law, and
further accuses the company of sexual harassment and sex discrimination. We'll see what happens
later on. But I I think this is an ongoing conversation as far as
the obvious stuff we probably all know. You know, just remember Elon Musk
is a visionary genius. He is. He is. Keep that in mind.
He is, or at least so I'm told, he is infallible.
He is perfect, absolutely godlike. Yeah, yes, and kind of a
creed. Maybe the next president of the United States, I think not.
Well, it doesn't matter if he's a naturalized citizen. You know, the
Constitution doesn't matter anymore. Oh yeah, did you know? Oh yes,
that's true. I guess I looked away for a moment. Sorry, it's
later with Mo Kelli Cafi AM six forty. We are live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. And before we go to break, I got to tell you
about this. Don your favorite sun hat, dapper bow tie and floaty floral

six forty dot com, forward slash Polo to enter with Kelly six. We're
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and we have heard you loud and clear.
You want more stup mo tricks. So I guess going forward, there's going
to be more stupid Mo tricks on social media. And if you're tuning in
just now or you're coming late to the show. Earlier in the show,
I was just reading that it was completely spontaneous, it was completely organic.
I said in the third hour that we would talk about how the twenty twenty
four Olympics is going to debut high level breakdancing. And it got me thinking,
well, I should have tried to compete. I should have gone to
the Olympic trials. Maybe i'd be in Paris right now. And so I
said, you know what, I want to see what I still have left
in the tank with little breakdancing. So I went into the kitchen a hard
linoleum floor, pushed back the tables, and I said, let me just
let me just see if there's a little something there. So we put up
a video on Instagram at later with mo Kelly at mister mo Kelly, you'll
find it in both places. And then it got me really thinking, it's
like, wait a minute, breaking was not even my real thing. It
was pop locking. And so we waited at the next commercial break, we
waited for Mark Runner to finish his news and then we walked into the news
booth to bother him to show him what pop locking was, show him how
it was done. So there are two videos up right now, stupid mo
tricks at later with mo Kelly at mister mo Kelly on Instagram and you can
see the videos there and you can go ahead and mock me. No mockery
happening. I could have done much better with the break dancing, you know,
and I might have to do another round of that in a day or
so. Always sprung this on you. Well think of it this way.
People were saying, like, Oh, you're gonna have to get a back
surgery, You're gonna get hurt, You're gonna break your hip, I said,
But people don't know. And this is not a boast, This is
just a fact. One. I stretch every single day, and I asked
more of my body when it comes to hop, keto and martial arts.
So breakdancing is nothing. I'm doing mattwork more times than not. So getting
on the floors is not a big deal or anything. I'd be more concerned
if I hadn't tried to stay in shape for the past twenty thirty years.
But I've you know, I've always been mobile in that regard. Well,
I got it. I gotta wait, Mark, I have the next thing.
I got the next thing you just brought to my mind. Let's get
some boards and me. You would Mark do a board breaking combination? Do
you leave me the hell out of that, dude? No, Mark,
we can. We can do some serious board breaking competition. That would be
awesome. Wait, board breaking, yes, not breakdancing. No, break
boards no, yes, line up boards three four? See it was.
Let's let's go through them. Yeah. I don't mind breaking stuff, but
let me tell you my main issue. When you came into the news booth
and started moving around like that, I thought I was getting a lap dance.
No, because if you're going to get a lap dance, you'd have
to pay it up front. Okay, well, now I know you gotta
put the money in my cheese string. I had nothing to talk. I
don't carry cash. I gotta start bringing cash to work, don't Marky.
Mark can be as fun as he wants to be. But he uh Moe
put the moves like you would not believe. And that is not an exaggeration.
So make sure to check out later with mo Kelly on Instagram because he
threw down. Hey, I got a lot of mo. I got a
lot of mo. There's more where that came from. So we have to
think of more stupid mo tricks to do. I don't know, the breaking
boards is cool thing. Maybe I'll come in and do some spin kicks or
something or really now that I might hurt myself doing trying to do too much.
Yeah, yeah, you can definitely put yourself out with that strikes first.
No, look, let's kicks, some sidekicks. Do you know some
pound strikes? Yeah, we should do We got mark, got any suggestions,
none that I can say on the air. And no, we're not
going to do spicy foods and milk. No, I've already been through that.
Not a taste test, that's a dip test. I really. I
mean, if you remember that story about me burning myself on the hot food
and having to soak and a carton of milk. I didn't talk about the
size of the carton or anything juvenile like that. I wanted but stop myself
from putting the milk on the desk where the coffee machine in the newsroom was,
because that is how mature I was back even way back then. So
you were did you not just hear the nail on bus store? Well,
this is that was you in the news. Now, this is way back
when people were still walking around giving each other's shoulder massages in the place.
So a little bit of a little bit of used milk, you know,
back then, and I'm always it like the late nineties, I guess nobody
would have beat a E. Look, I was trying to explain to folks
you were weren't in the studio. I don't know if you heard Twalla,
but we were in the business in the heyday of the time of the business.
The stuff that's happening now pales in comparison. It's not even I'm not
dismissing it. I'm just saying the stuff that we saw, and I saw
female colleagues endore. Oh. I mean, look back in the day at
the Beat, it was the wild wild West. The things that were happening
didn't matter. The gender didn't matter matter. There were things that some of
the young ladies on the street team that they would do and you're like,
oh, Keith Doki. They would literally be out. I remember being out
on the street team hit and one of the ladies that were on the street
team said, Okay, all you women out here, you're not doing enough
to win these tickets. Let me let's go Martin Grass style. Let's see
let's see who's got the best flat and they were just having women flash and
getting you know, applause from the audience to give away tickets seeing that happen.
So it happened live. Yeah, so that's how we used to do.
Yeah, I would tell my Emine story. I just can't tell it
anymore because they probably wouldn't be received in the same way. Oh, shooting
him out, Yeah, it was almost well, okay, try real quickly,
real quickly. I was working for Interscope Records and this was I want
to say, maybe two thousand and one issue. Whenever Eminem had come out
with this first album. We went to this Impact convention which was in Miami,
and I was working for a guy by the name of Kevin Black.
He was one of the original promoters of Death Row Records. He was very
different. He sounded like wolf Man Jack if you ever listened to him,
but he had a very very raw personality. There was nothing that he wouldn't
do to help promote a record. And we were promoting Eminem's first album.
So we went to Impact and we had all these DJs from all around the
country and my job was to go get the talent. Well, if you
don't know what that means. That means get the higher the entertainment for the
evening performers, the dancers, however you want to characterize it. On this
occasion, I also had to come up with an idea for promotion. I'm
not proud of this, it's just the truth. There was a contest where
we had all the DJs, I want to say, maybe twenty to thirty
of them lined up in a room in the room the lights are on,
okay, and the contest was you had the talent the dancers that I procured
locally, because it would have been a federal offensive. I got them from
out of state. They were local. The contest was any one of the
dancers who could bring the DJs to happiness full joy first. Each person would
get a thousand dollars. Yes, full completion. If I am six forty,
we live everybody. I heart radio. At we tried less stimulating talk.
