00:00Let's play Plead the Fifth with Orlando and the Freak Show on Wild 94.1.
00:14Hooked up by 1-800-ASK-GARY. Now, who's taking the stand?
00:19Well, it's not my fault, Your Honor.
00:21Because Meredith is supposed to be taking the stand, but she is out sick today.
00:26Nah, so it's all like you said.
00:27So now I got to get up in the stand, swearing, tell the truth, hold the truth, nothing but the truth, except where I pass.
00:34I got three questions that come from the room, so y'all got to collab up for three.
00:39And then the audience gives us three.
00:40It's Plead the Fifth, and I get one time to not answer.
00:44So, Davi, you are first.
00:46Okay, O.
00:48I am noticing it looks like a new stage in your life.
00:53Single O, living by yourself O, but now with two young ladies that you guys go on bike rides and do all kinds of things.
01:02You're a super involved dad.
01:03But I can't help but think, if there is anything in your mind that you feel like you're missing out on by not having that boy.
01:13Football games, maybe he wanted to be a rapper.
01:18Oh, yeah.
01:20I'm missing out on that.
01:21But no, in all reality, do you ever feel like you're missing something by not having a little man?
01:27My daughters have asked me that twice, and I've quickly, like, just bust back with, like, no, you crazy.
01:37Because I never want them to feel like I feel like I got shorted.
01:41You know what I'm saying?
01:43But, I mean, I'd be crazy if I didn't think that, you know, me being able to kind of, like, be a man figure kind of role model,
01:52which I am for them, but just in a different space, like, I see you with your son, and you taking him to games and stuff,
01:58and you teaching him that, and, you know, teaching him the stuff that you were proficient in, or you tried, or you're, like, that hero.
02:05I want to be that for them, but it just, there's a little bit difference because a mom can be like, this is what we do.
02:12And this is, and I'm more, like, on the outside, this is what y'all do.
02:16Like, so it's always from that perspective and not from the, let me walk you through this because this is how it goes.
02:23I can't, I can never do that.
02:24And I have to do, all the time, deflect to their mom on stuff because I'm like, you know, well, your mom can explain it to you.
02:30Or, you know, oh, just ask your mama, blah, blah, blah, because that's some stuff that they kind of can glom on to.
02:36But I've had my moments where I could do that, so I'm not, I don't think I'm missing anything,
02:40but I do know that there is a difference there.
02:44I think six and a half a dozen, they're equal, but they're just different experience.
02:50So, yeah.
02:51I feel you on that, man.
02:53My son, a lot of times he has to go play basketball.
02:56He wants to have, like, a three-point contest.
02:58And I'm like, whew, it's a good thing I got a boy.
03:02Yeah, you messing around, you got a girl.
03:03You be in there making tea parties and stuff.
03:05Playing Barbie.
03:06I did that.
03:07All right, so last night was the Grammys.
03:09And as I'm sitting down watching the Grammys, I'm thinking to myself about Wild 94 won the radio station.
03:16And I want to ask you, how much weight do you put on the Grammys?
03:19Like, how much credit do you give?
03:21Because I see a lot of people win, and it seems like a popularity contest.
03:26I don't see a lot of our artists.
03:28What are your thoughts?
03:28I mean, it is a popularity contest, because you're trying to win the votes of the Academy.
03:35So, you know, it is a vote deal.
03:37So, popularity counts, plus the Academy tries to factor in on being, like, you know, very fashion forward.
03:44You know, there are artists that you might not know that would beat an artist that you think is a popular artist.
03:49Now, back in the day, hip-hop wasn't represented well, so hip-hop doesn't show well at the Grammys.
03:55That's why they felt that younger people needed to be involved with it.
03:59But I will also say that the current artists that are out there now aren't looking to really be validated by the Grammys.
04:07They're like, yo, they don't really, if they don't want the Jay-Zs and the people of that nature when they were young, why are they going to want us?
04:13And you've seen it in the nomination process.
04:15You have a couple of people get nominated and kind of be, you know, let in by the gatekeepers, but the masses out there, they're not looking for that.
04:22You could see in the comparison of how hip-hop the Grammys were last night or how lack of it there was.
04:30And then you had Dreamville with the Dream Fest going on with North Carolina and Fayetteville with, I mean, in Charlotte with J. Cole.
04:38Right.
04:38So, all of hip-hop was looking at that.
04:40Over there.
04:41And the Grammys had the record industry stage.
04:44So, it's very different.
04:46It's still a badge of honor and it means something if you got a label and stuff because it gives them a marketable kind of position for you.
04:52But hip-hop and most of our artists aren't looking for the Grammys for validation.
04:57That's what I'll say.
04:58True.
04:58All right.
04:58What else?
04:59I have one more for you.
05:00Okay.
05:00So, Orlando, Wild Splash is 40 days away.
05:0440 days away.
05:0540 days away.
05:06This is the first year since COVID that we've done it.
05:09This is the first year in a new venue.
05:12What have been some unique challenges for this year's specific Wild Splash?
05:18This year, moving the venue has been different, you know, obviously because we've been dealing with Clearwater forever.
05:26And so, to move it over to the Berg is a good look for us.
05:29It's a different look because it's a whole different setup.
05:33But we're looking forward to that.
05:35But it is different.
05:37Also, moving the date because we had a date that was set for this past weekend.
05:43And then the Grammys hit on that one.
05:45So, we had to find another date.
05:47And that was May 14th.
05:48So, that pushed it out of the spectrum of spring break.
05:51Pushed it more into, like, you know, almost summer.
05:54And so, we had some time to do that.
05:56And then the Lovers and Friends tour that kicks off in Vegas was, it says it's a Vegas show.
06:03But it's on that same weekend.
06:05So, that ate up a lot of opportunity because that's a show where you got, like, artists that have maybe two records.
06:12Like, one hit wonders, two records, all the way up to, like, an usher in TLC.
06:16So, they got, like, 100 acts on this thing.
06:20And everybody is, it's an old school show, though.
06:22Okay.
06:23So, that limited a lot of the people that we were looking at to try and include in the show.
06:28So, it was a lot of hopscotch to get the show done.
06:30But we wanted to make sure we got it back on the books because a lot of people were asking, like, when is the show going to get popping?
06:35So, we, and we have an artist that we are actually adding this week as well who came to the party and was like, yo, all the shows are locked down.
06:45I'm like, yeah, because Lovers and Friends is going on.
06:47So, now we got it locked in.
06:49So, it's just been hurdles like that.
06:52But, you know, it ain't hard work.
06:54It's just busy work.
06:56You know, we got a good team back there.
06:57So, yeah.
06:58We got a text out to 727.
06:59It says, Orlando, in your high school or college days, did you ever have that one girl that you still think about today?
07:06You could say the one that got away.
07:08Ooh.
07:12In high school or college?
07:13Big smile on his face right now, by the way.
07:16Blushing.
07:18Man, yeah, that got away.
07:23Let's talk about it.
07:24Like, yeah, there was, there were a few of them.
07:32There was one in high school that I dated and that it was just, that we were supposed to, like, you know, we thought that was going to happen.
07:40That was going to be the one.
07:40That was going to be the one.
07:41And then we ended up not going.
07:44We were both supposed to go to Tallahassee.
07:45We were going to go to the fam.
07:47And then she didn't get in.
07:50Oh.
07:50And then I was like, I'm going.
07:53Yeah.
07:53So I left.
07:54I left.
07:55And we stayed together.
07:56But then it just, it didn't.
07:58That was your senior year?
07:59That was my senior year.
08:01Yeah.
08:01But she graduated.
08:02She graduated, she graduated a year before I did and then went, like, to a junior college to stay there and then wanted to come with me.
08:10Oh, you had the upper class.
08:11Yeah.
08:12Yeah.
08:12That's poppin'.
08:13Yeah.
08:14That was Stronda Willis.
08:15She was fine.
08:16Yeah.
08:17And that's who I put up on that prom picture whenever she was in the prom picture with me.
08:21Like, yeah, she was poppin'.
08:23And in college, yeah, that was, that was, that was, that was, that was, that was one girl who I thought would, like, have taken me, like, where I needed to go.
08:33Yeah.
08:33She was Colombian.
08:35She was, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
08:37Fire.
08:39Yeah, that didn't.
08:39So you had two that almost got away.
08:41Yeah, yeah, yeah.
08:42Yeah, it almost happened.
08:43All right, what else?
08:44All right, I got a text here that says, Orlando, you've got one female on this show.
08:49Meredith, of course.
08:50But have you ever, what is this, have you ever thought about having an all-female cast if the opportunity came up?
08:58I mean, I would, I mean, I would be getting rid of Davi, but.
09:02Oh, yeah.
09:03Oh.
09:04Like, Davi, you gotta go.
09:05You ain't got the right chromosomes.
09:08I mean, I have always thought that, like, well, I spoke at a convention where it was, like, a women's broadcasting convention.
09:15And I, you know, they, and one of the rules, it was funny because there was, like, five program directors in there who were men.
09:22And they were, like, applauding the fact that men were actually coming to this because you usually have only women in there and they would be, like, an old procession.
09:29You're like, this is what's wrong with people.
09:31And I told them, I was like, the rule of having, like, one girl or, like, having, like, a guy and a girl sidekick instead of an equal, like, partner or whatever was kind of antiquated.
09:42And so we, the station that we were at at the time, we had flipped it and had two women on the show.
09:47And that's why they invited us to speak on it.
09:50And I was just, like, I don't think those traditional rules have to happen.
09:53I think you could have a dope show with ladies, you know, around the whole thing because conversation is so crazy now.
10:00People are a little bit more open about stuff.
10:02So I think the conversation would be the same.
10:03It would just be from different sources.
10:06I think that would definitely happen.
10:07It looks like most, like, radio morning shows have, like, one female.
10:11Well, I mean, yeah, and if you're lucky, if you're lucky to be able to have a bunch of folks that you could pay, you know, then you can have two or three.
10:18They've had ensembles like that.
10:20But then you start factoring in producers and board ops and stuff.
10:23You have real, like, a good, you know, chunk of women.
10:27But I think a ladies' conversation, because I've seen some shows with just chicks that slap, you know, because they know what they're talking about.
10:35And they open to, like, you know, sharing themselves.
10:37That's what really the shows are about.
10:38Our show does well because we share the levels of ourselves, and I think they could do that, too.
10:43So, yeah, I could have a whole brew of broads.
10:47A whole gang of them.
10:48A whole gang of ladies.
10:51One last Wild Splash question.
10:53It says, over the years of Wild Splash, was there an artist that was so difficult or bougie that you never want to work with them again?
11:00If so, who?
11:03I mean, yes.
11:06Okay.
11:07But I don't know if I want to say, because we just never know.
11:11We might have to bring them people back.
11:13That's true.
11:13They're not going to listen.
11:15They don't hear.
11:16I mean, no.
11:16It's like, but I just, you know, that's because this goes out on the net.
11:20It lives forever.
11:21Yeah, you know, it lives forever.
11:23I don't want to do that.
11:24You tapping out?
11:24I plead the fifth.
11:26I plead the fifth.
11:28Five.
11:29One, two, three, four, fifth.
11:31What we've learned this week is that, or this session is that people who we said we wasn't going to rock with, when times get hard, you mess around and go back.
11:39That's true.
11:40So I don't want to do that.
11:42I don't want to mention any artists that were hard to deal with.
11:46Let's see.
11:47I don't really have a boomerang.
11:48No boomerangs?
11:49I don't really have a boomerang.
11:50I'm cool with that.
11:51Yeah, y'all get to absolve yourselves on that one.
11:54All right.
11:54That's the plead the fifth, and it is a wrap right now.
