Jay and Gary Show

Another Pearce joins the party - Jay’s son Dale is our guest. We talk Eclipse and more.

We do actually get to the topic crypically suggested in the title, but it takes a while. It’s worth the wait.

Also, our video production software (Wirecast) just blipped away in what should have been ‘late in the show’ - well after the two hour mark, but once we fired it up again, we went on for another half hour. So for video, you see PART ONE and PART TWO on YouTube. Audio listeners get one file, spliced together. Yoiu’ll hear it

And here’s a link to Debra Cowan - thanks, Debra!

Gary has overcome the technical difficulties from last week’s show, and even managed to get this one to stream LIVE - to exactly one person (so far). Are you sure Edward R. Murrow started this way? Howdy Doody?

Gary hangs his audio-producer head in shame. He missed a critical setting (he just forgot) when setting up brother Jay in a shot in the video. Gary forgot to click a ‘switch’ that keeps Jay’s audio from going double into the feed. So for the whole damn show (except for a minute or two at the beginning - because of another Gary screw-up), Jay has a bit of an echo effect. Gary should be fired 😡

Meanwhile, the boys discuss the Fundie Baby Voice thing. And the other thing. And yes, after a while, Gary realizes that he didn't switch Jay's picture onto the screen.

Yes, there's a title. Pay no attention. This is a classic Jay ramble on a trip down memory lane. It may be therapy.

Gary took a 'senior' cognitive test (like Trump). Aced it. Had to remember the words Apple, House, Table. Changed it for promotional purposes. Otherwise, it's our typical Jay and Gary Show ramble.

Toward the end of the show, you may notice some odd silence as Gary tries to play a few seconds of Donald Fagan's "The Nightfly", which explains the why he always says "at the foot of Mt. Belzoni" (on every show he hosts, not just this one). Apparently, Donal Fagan's music company doesn't just monetize videos that play his music - they go for a full takedown (worldwide, not just Russia Russia Russia, although another clip we play does get us banned in Russia. So much for the Ruski audience). We're trying YouTube's beta feature that mutes just the music, and leaves our voice. We'll see if that worked.

Last week's show was banned in Russia. This week's will probably be banned everywhere because we play too much copyrighted material. Can we claim Fair Use?

Jay and Gary give up all pretense of professionalism as they (eventually) get to detailing how they got into the radio biz.

It includes some airchecks of Gary from WDOR in 1969 (where he apparently inhaled helium before opening the mic) and KFWJ in 1987, and some from Jay (played off of cassette on a boom box because he was laid up with a bad back and couldn't get them digitized). Jay is remarkably consistent (and professional) throughout his broadcasting career.

Then they attempt to record a bit for TikTok - a rap 'song' that Gary wrote in the middle of the night with the hope of going viral (for all the wrong reasons). That may or may not ever make it to TikTok.

Gary apologizes for a little audio quirk that makes Jay sound a bit hollow throughout the show. It will be fixed next time (if he remembers).

Jay and Gary - the Pearce Brothers (don’t say ‘bros’) - have both had long careers in media. Now retired, they are slumming in the world of podcasting, the haven of all former broadcasters. Here in Episode 1, they begin building this plane as they’re flying it. And this one is called Friends & Family Edition because that’s who’s going to see/hear it.
