49:28 So that's how MTV needs to respond. A simple SMS, you know, I am on the phone is rough enough. Yeah. But why would you do it on a windy road in Malibu? You gotta have both hands on the wheel and be kind of freaked out. I've been on those roads. Yeah, but you sound kind of like the PSA now, John. I mean, it just blew me away that, you know, someone's dead and then MTV spins it into, don't text while you drive, kids. This is really bad. Yeah, well, MTV. All right, what else we got? I got tons of stuff. Maybe you want to thank some people? Yeah, let's thank them for contributing and also when I mentioned the people that should be involved with this show because it's listener supported. And we do have a clip actually, which I did. I upload this clip to you, which is the Dr. Laura clip.
50:20 It's funny you mentioned that because I was going to say that that is you may not have but we can talk about it anyway because She's yeah, you don't have the clip. Can you send it to me? Cuz it'll be well worth it if we play it But once you tell everyone what's going on what's on your mind cuz I kind of have it figured out Well, dr. Laura comes on the Larry King show and moans and groans about her being you know, essentially she says that commercial radio is no good and because you can't do anything off the you know you there's a very narrow path you have to walk and if you don't walk it there's these uh... pressure groups in the case of doctor laureates kind of interesting you may have a list of them here uh... it seems like you know pressure groups including media matters as a gay and lesbian alliance and all these people had because she uses the n word i don't know what the media matters are the gay and lesbian allies in a read this uh...
51:16 Dr. Schlesinger, this is in the New York Times, took a different tack, blah blah blah. She apologized on her blog in the air for the next day. Still a day after her apologies, the liberal watchdog group Media Matters for America posted audio of her original comments, you know, and called for advertisers to boycott the program. The movement gained traction as General Motors, OnStar, and Motel 6 both, you know... They pulled, right? They pulled. Yeah, they pulled, which they should be ashamed of themselves. uh... pulled their sponsorship because why is this she the ministry of truth that this is a day that you can see if you have a general motors that's for sure like a year cars are junk you know if we had general motors is a sponsor we could make a new life for you know i general motors car in the thing with the wheel fell off we couldn't talk about it you can talk about it
52:06 Anyway, Motel 6 and General Motors OnStar specifically withdrew according to Kareem Baldassano, Senior Vice President of Dr. Schlesinger's Production Company. Ari Rabin-Havitt, AVT, I don't know how you spell that, how do you pronounce that, Vice President at Media Matters, which by the way is kind of a Clinton liberal phony baloney media watchdog. said this incident quote should serve as a lesson to radio hosts. No you listen up you! That their words matter. Shut up Schlee! They can and should be held accountable for what they say on the airwaves. Thou shalt repent! Mr. Rabin have it said. He's the media matters VP so these guys are
52:52 These guys aren't watchdogs, they're gatekeepers, they're creepy gatekeepers. Oh, wait, is there a douchebag involved here? Oh boy, it's funny you mention that. Douchebag! Dr. Laura says, quote, my first amendment rights have been usurped by angry hateful groups who don't want to debate, they want to eliminate. Thou shalt not debate, thou shalt eliminate! I've decided it was time to move on to other venues where I could say my piece and not have to live in fear anymore. Well, I think that sounds a lot like noagendastream.com. Exactly. In fact, people have actually sent me email. People actually sent me email. Hey, is Dr. Laura coming to your stream? It's gonna be very interesting to see if she can do it and if she can pull it off and how she will do it. Well, she's worth so much money now that I don't think she
53:44 Needs to do that much work, but she's still doing books. She does have a podcast I mean she does stream her other previous show I think so probably back off a little bit and probably do less work But which will be said she was leaving at the end of this year. Yeah, well she could be hounded back You know, they could all apologize and beg her to come back for more money. Well of course she can't quit because she's under contract. That's why she's, well I'll do it at the end of the year. She can't because then she'll get sued for breach of contract. Right. But I bet you her program's gonna be pretty tame for the next couple months. Why? Because, you can't do that. You can't, if you are sponsored by corporate money and advertisers, you just, you can't go on and every word she says will be watched from now on. It's been watched for the last decade, ever since she came out against... Yeah, but when General Motors pulls out, that's when station managers start to take note.
54:40 Yeah, that's true. Yeah, and that's exactly why you lose some stations in the process. That's exactly why we decided not to take commercial money or run advertisements on this program. And I am delighted we made that decision. yeah well i mean it's because you don't have to you don't have to keep you know how to stop the show the other thing by the way is it gives the the listeners another twenty or thirty minutes uh... because most of the our our today's today's radio is uh... two minutes of program in one minute of commercials and that's just a bit the model in some cases is worse but the fact of the matter is you who needs to be will have their time wasted even though i would assume some people think that that us begging for money is time wasting too
