Local media is failing, local radio is losing its grip, and nobody seems willing to call out the real issues hitting our streets. When the cameras stop rolling and the microphones go off, the real conversation starts. We dive headfirst into the decaying state of local broadcasting, why host accountability has vanished, and the hilarious reality of dealing with health chaos, off-air disasters, and absurd personal habits while trying to put on a show. ***RELIVE THE GREATNESS OF KORN WITH THIS INCREDIBLE BOX SET:*** *https://amzn.to/4rCZIk0* ***Watch commercial free and without delayed publishing by becoming a CMS VIP at*** *https://classicmetalshow.locals.com* ***WOAH!!

The Browns and Flashlight Guy36:15 – 43:09

C

36:15

Well, you guys are, I got to ask that question.

C

36:18

I want to circle to the Browns.

C

36:20

Is there something that comes out from the Browns to all of you guys at radio and at media that says this is the way we're going to push? Because I have found the last two weeks amazingly interesting how everybody went from run this guy out of town and light him on fire on his way out to this guy.

C

36:40

He could be the answer.

C

36:41

We're going to the playoffs.

C

36:42

He's better now.

C

36:43

He loves Cleveland.

C

36:45

What happened in two weeks? He played marginally okay in one game.

C

36:50

In one game.

C

36:51

And now we're talking about he's great.

Jake UnderwoodGuest

36:54

Well, I mean, I know we didn't get it here, but I don't doubt that other stations in town got the memo.

Jake UnderwoodGuest

37:01

Yeah.

Seth WilliamsHost

37:02

This is unbelievable here.

Seth WilliamsHost

37:03

This house is one like a barn.

Seth WilliamsHost

37:05

I have animals everywhere.

Seth WilliamsHost

37:07

Watching my stupid sister-in-law's dog for some reason until she gets back from Europe.

Seth WilliamsHost

37:11

And then I have an illegal riding a jet-powered lawnmower outside my yard right now.

Seth WilliamsHost

37:16

Might as well put the airport in the backyard.

Seth WilliamsHost

37:19

Might as well put a stupid AI data center in the backyard.

C

37:22

Might as well put the Brown Stadium next to the football or to the airport.

Seth WilliamsHost

37:26

I didn't mean illegal.

Seth WilliamsHost

37:27

I don't know whether he is or not.

Seth WilliamsHost

37:30

But I know that I can't communicate with him.

Seth WilliamsHost

37:35

I don't mean it in a bad way.

Seth WilliamsHost

37:38

Maybe it's the English.
