Speaker 1: When your old career gives you lemons throwing some ice,
mix in some vodka. Color a podcast from the Mac
of All Trade Studio in Fairport and driven by Victor
Chrysler Dots Gee Brahm. It's Billified, the Bill Moran Podcast.
Speaker 2: Well, hello and welcome.
Speaker 1: Thanks for getting your pot on. Thank you for telling
a friend, Tell your friends. This is where we're talking
about stuff. Stuff. That's right. There was a big change
in Rochester radio. I have gotten numerous calls and numerous questions,
and people want me to talk about behind the scenes,
what really happened, And I'll tell you. I'll give it
to you as straight as I can from my opinion,
of course, and remember that's going to be my opinion.
But one of the big changes is that Brother Wes
announced that he was retiring. Now, when a guy like
Weez retires, it's normally they have a parade or a year. Yeah,
I'm retiring any year, you got it. You got it.
The soldiers here. But I thought it would be fun
to kind of just talk about and talk to people
who had spent significant time with Brother Weez, and one
of those people is rich the Bolgenzler, who was a
part of Weis's show in the early nineties, right bowl,
and then you went to Afternoons in like ninety four.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that I'm too old to remember my
chronology in my timeline, and my resume is not updated,
so it should be. But yeah, no, I started in
like eighty nine and worked with we'z probably for three
or four years through Winton Road. So I was Wee'z's
producer for a while before I started doing Afternoons with
BJ And Yeah, I mean, Weez was. It's odd because
I wanted to be more of an air quote DJ,
and I kind of became that, and then it became
more of a personality as my career evolved, right, So
like Heino was like my guy, Like Caina was like
my DJ mentor right right, And then I got in
with Weez, who was you know, even that early in
his career, he was.
Speaker 1: Already pretty legendary.
Speaker 3: I mean he was setting the mark, you know, five
six years into the business and only maybe you know
that amount of time into doing mornings. He was set
in the tone everybody was following. No one could compete
with him. I mean it was pretty ridiculous. So why
not you know, attached my horse to that, or my Yeah,
I attached my horse to that and then or my cart
to that. And then you know, I was that guy
and you were probably that too when you were interning
that you did whatever was asked, like you were there
all day, every day. It didn't matter how many credits
you were getting or how many hours you were supposed
to put in. You were there a this is what
you wanted to do and be because you wanted to
learn and see.
Speaker 1: It was really freaking fun. It was. It was fun.
And I yeah, I mean I I got in doing weekend.
It's my senior year at Fisher, so that's how I
got in there. And I was I had I had
been on the radio in my hometown and stuff, but
I had heard of weez because the morning guy there
just worshiped him, thought he was the greatest thing. And
I just to interject for a second, Dave Kine posted
a thing on Facebook yesterday that I thought really summed
up Weeze, maybe better than anybody has. It says you
were the unlikeliest and most uncommon and unconventional radio personality
in Western New York and elsewhere. You've enjoyed unprecedented and
unparalleled success. Your legacy includes unmatched and unbelievable run of
consistent rating success that continued for years. Whether it was
The Brother Weeze Morning Circus, Radio Free Wiez, or The
Wei Show, your broadcasts were uncompromising, unbridled, unpredictable, and uncensored.
Your charitable efforts and your unwaving support and promotion of
Rochester will never go unrecognized. And now it's time to unplug.
I thought, but I mean I thought that unconventional. I
mean he was uncommon and unconventional. You did not hear
guys like Weez on the radio.
Speaker 3: No, you didn't hear guys like him with his voice.
I mean, he was just not Yeah, he was just
not a radio guy at all. He just talked. He
was the epitome of talk radio. He was what talk
radio sort of became, right, I mean absolutely, talk radio
was primarily news talk until you know, you started event
well obviously Stern was in the mix, right, but you know,
there were only a handful of people doing that kind
of radio, and he really kind of sort of set
the tone for what was sort of, in my opinion,
the heyday of radio for about I don't know twenty
years ish until corporate America got involved and ruined it.
But yeah, I mean he he did it out of
his own He did it his own way, He did
his own things, He did his own way.
Speaker 1: To unbridled is a great term for him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because as his produce, like, it was great being
a air quote personality, sports guy or whatever you wanted
to be to me, to be the kid that you
beat up, it didn't matter whatever.
Speaker 1: That was great, But producing him was tough.
Speaker 3: Producing him was really tough because you know, you thought
along the way, having spent some time with him, that
you kind of knew his flow and what he liked
and didn't and what might fit in not And in
doing that, you know you and having that knowledge, you
would be like, well, I think this would be great here,
this would be a great interview here, this would.
Speaker 1: Be a great bit.
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah blah blah. And numerous times he's like, raw.
Speaker 1: What are we doing here? What? What? Why? Why do
we said that? Who is this? But good? Good, good good?
Speaker 3: You know, like all that and the other thing too
with we'ves, which was pretty famous for him and for
a lot of the best people media. They literally just
literally I'll call it this set but the studio walk
in and go right. I mean he was, he was,
and somebody else posted this recently. He was a storyteller,
end of story.
Speaker 1: Yes, he was a storyteller.
Speaker 3: Yes, And the stories that he had to tell were
absolutely remarkable.
Speaker 1: And the times that he lived in were so.
Speaker 3: Applicable to the times he broadcasting, if that makes sense.
So yes, he shared similar memories to so many of
his listeners. And then I think he also, you know,
day to day, every day was every day was different,
going back to you know, you're taught in radio, especially
nowadays when you have that kind of a show. Dad
would called benchmark bits right where you're doing something every
single day at the same time, right because your listeners
are expecting it. But if I took one thing away
from Wee's, it was no do that, like do something
different every day, so people are they don't know what
to expect. And for that reason, I always thought that
was a better approach.

right and he's just like and it made me. Realize
AND i said this the other day to somebody in
terms of like trauma for, ME i was molested as a.
KID i, go one of the worst things is everybody
else's reaction to. It like as a, kid, right you
see your like you if your mother ever found out
you were molested by a, babysitter she's probably. Crying the
babysitter's never come. Back you hear your parents angry you
your brain isn't big enough and you're not experienced enough
to process that other Than i'm in trouble OR i
caused my mom to, cry AND i don't want to

Com trust me your future, self, well thank. You SO
i think they knew that this was coming to an
End december thirty first of this. YEAR i. BELIEVE i
Think i'm not part of these. Things so, again SO
i think the rest of the, station the ratings were
not good. Anymore For, talk it just wasn't doing. Well
someone told me it was the thirteenth station in the.
MARKET i don't know what demo they were looking, at
but that's WHAT i.
Speaker 2: Was and there's a bunch of different demos in the only.
Speaker 1: Right BUT i, mean if you're thirteenth in the they
do have a demo that's twelve. Plus that isn't. Good
you want to at, least you know What i'm, Saying
you want to be. Somewhere but, anyway so the ratings
weren't good and so therefore the revenue isn't. Good so
now the company has to say what do we? Do
and it's not locally. Owned it is an iHeartRadio. Station
it is an enormous company with, many, many many. Layers
any kind of change that they're gonna do is signed
off on by many different guys at many different. Levels
it's an enormous. Company so what they do, is, hey
we want to make a. Change, okay what are we gonna.
Do we're going to go to music BECAUSE a it's,
cheaper Right AND i understand when people, GO i, Mean
stan mainsat. Here he programmed radio. Stations he's, like, man
YouTube music does an unbelievable. Job he, GOES i get
the oh wow, FACTOR i get all of. It it's
programmed so, well he. GOES i don't know why anybody
would listen to radio, now but there are people who.
Do they're just there are there are people out there to.
Speaker 2: Do but not many. Anymore when you can go to
a podcast and you can listen to a podcast is
a stand seeing it's, like you, know.
Speaker 1: Well he was saying music, wise he's saying like music.
Right so now they decide that they're going to do.
This now when did they decide they were going to do.
This they decided they were going to do this probably
four to six months, ago because there's so many layers of, this,
right and THEN i guarantee YOU i will, ABSOLUTELY i
will put money on the fact that they did what's
called a music test to find out where can we fit.
Rock don't forget you've got a somewhat of an alternative
rock station and you've got a classic rock station already.
Here you're looking for a lane that it's going to
be somewhat. Unique so they do what's called a music.
Test maybe somebody listening to the podcast was part of.
IT i don't know how they do it. Anymore it
used to be that they would call out and, say,
hey can you take be part of a music survey
for a radio, station and then they would say if
this song were, played and they would just play the,
hook would you listen or would you push the? Button
and then that's how they decided what they were. Playing
this is going back a, Ways but that'll explain to
you kind of what a music test. Is so in
order for that to be, done it takes. Time so
these guys knew they were making this move a long time,
Ago i'll say Spring. May they knew they were doing.
This they also knew who they were, keeping and they
were not keeping because some people have remained and some
people have remained because one of the big things in
radio today as a personality is. Endorsements what money is
tied to you as a, personality, right makes? Sense makes?
Speaker 2: Sense so far keep gone the goal.
Speaker 1: The goal for this if your a. Personality AND i
don't think they've ever talked about it like. EVER i.
DON'T i think if you ask any personality who was
in the building With Brother weis they never talk about.
This but the guys in WHEN i went in to
interview IN la and and WHEN i was doing some
national stuff on those, meetings they would, go if you're
at the local level doing, stuff you want to make
sure you're bringing in three times your salary to remain.
Relevant it's basically kind of keep yourself right in. There
so obviously people weren't just bringing in the. Money AND
i said this the other. Day business is a cold.
Thing business has no. Emotion we. Do we have an
attachment to these. People we liked, them we like their,
stories were like listening to, them but not as much.
Anymore the ratings weren't as. Good they just weren't. There
and the big guy in town who ushered in this,
format AND i used to, say you, know you wouldn't
have an all talk station if it wasn't for Brother
weez who made the morning show. Work, yes you. Know
and then they put In kimberly And beck in the
afternoon and they ended up blowing themselves. Up but and
then they were playing music in, between and they came
To john AND i and, go how about you guys
going there and do a talk? Show and we did
and we got it to number, one, right that was
the number one Talk that was the number one show
in the middle of the day with adults twenty five
to fifty. Four and, so you, know it was working
then it. Wasn't and that's why this change has. Happened
we said a lot, here we. DID i hope it makes,
sense it does make.
Speaker 2: SENSE i think it makes. SENSE i think it makes.
Speaker 1: Sense And i'm very nervous as to what we well
on the full Next but, well there's nothing.
Speaker 2: THAT i, mean if you're, nervous you, can you know you.
Can you don't have to play the whole. Thing so oh,
NO i would play the whole. Thing, okay, yeah don't
you THINK i think. SO i don't think you say anything,
wrong NOW i.
Speaker 1: Don't i'm not saying anything. Wrong i'm just saying what
happened led to? It and and, uh AND i think
now when you look at, it IF i IF i
saw the lineup for the, station they're trying to protect
people do who did have big endorsement, money? Right? Right
so So john has big endorsement, money, yes behind.
Speaker 2: Him.
Speaker 1: Uh and so they gave him a talk show on
the sports station and he'll do afternoons and they can
keep that revenue, there, Right and and.
Speaker 2: They put him back where he. Started, yeah you, KNOW i,
mean he's it just it's just what he.
Speaker 1: Gets he gets do what he loves and what he's great.
At and then other people who just they didn't have

a lot of those people. THERE i like all of.
THEM i, do AND i don't. Care, uh it's not my,
world you. Know it doesn't affect, me doesn't affect, me
AND i JUST i feel bad for them because those
kind of changes are difficult to, navigate especially when you
have no. Control and the only ADVICE i can give
you when you have no control is focus on what
you can. Control you can control how you act in the.
Hallways you can control who you're bitching to and who
you're not bitching, to because there will be a lot of.
Bitching be careful who you're doing that TO. Uh and
you can CONTROL uh finding another job if you want,
to or you, know making decisions that are going to
be right for. You you have control of all. That
what you don't have control of right now is what
they did with the radio. Station there are no feelings in.
Business you can't control, that so it don't focus on.
It this change has been, made is there? Positive try
to find the good aspects of where you. Are focus on,
those and if you want to, exit find your. Exit
you know What i'm, Saying AND i don't mean that
in a negative. WAY i Just i'm saying that that's
the only way you can do, it because otherwise you
will be in a bitter spiral and you'll take that
ship home to your family or to the people you care,
about and you're going to be a piece of shit
to them because why because why when you die when
it's all. Over, Yeah but you understand What i'm. Saying
AND i only know that Because i've lived. IT i lived.
It what AM i gonna? Do AM i going to
go be a fucking? Dickhead fuck? YOU i live that.
WAY i was miserable during that time WHEN i did.
That it doesn't, work and it doesn't help you when
it doesn't make paths. Forward find your path. Forward you,
can you, can it'll just be a harder mess to
go that. Way stay your. Course and if you and
if you're a guy Like dino and you're a talented
sales guy and a talented on, air there's probably something
somewhere if you don't like where you. Are that's All i'm.
Saying i'm. NOT i hope Everything i'm saying is as
neutral as it can be BECAUSE i don'tk.
