Joined by his brother, who was giving him a tour of the area, Sutton offered a candid look at the world behind his long-running podcast career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The conversation

Cuban.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sutton recalled being particularly impressed by how Cuban arrived for the appearance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s funny, I always bring this one up because it\u2019s not a real rock and roll thing or anything, but when Mark Cuban came, he just showed up by himself with no entourage,\u201d Sutton said. \u201cHe\u2019s like, \u2018Hey, okay, I\u2019m ready to go and let\u2019s do this.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Sutton, the moment stood out because of Cuban\u2019s status and the fact that he arrived without a large entourage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHere\u2019s a guy that\u2019s worth billions of dollars and just right goes up by himself, right?\u201d Sutton said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also recalled the excitement of waking up to an unexpected message from the businessman. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd then also to wake up in the morning and have an email from Mark Cuban, I was like, \u2018Well, this is pretty f\u2014\u2014-g great,\u2019\u201d Sutton said.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-ralph-sutton-names-his-dream-guests\"

interviewed countless entertainers throughout his radio and podcast career, Sutton still has a few major names on his wish list.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of them is Guns N\u2019 Roses frontman Axl Rose. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI would say that anyone\u2014Guns N\u2019 Roses would be one that I\u2014because even in my heyday of doing the radio show before this, never got Axl,\u201d Sutton said. \u201cHad Slash on a few times but never got Axl.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also named Charlie Sheen as another guest he\u2019d like to have on the show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think Charlie Sheen would be a good one,\u201d Sutton said. \u201cBecause he so epitomizes the\u2014at least the D of SDR, you know.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately, though, Sutton said the biggest factor isn\u2019t necessarily fame.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTo me it\u2019s anyone that\u2019s got a good story to tell,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s what makes me happy.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-ralph-sutton-weighs-in-on-howard-stern\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ralph Sutton Weighs In On

then turned to Howard Stern and the recent discussion surrounding the legendary radio host and his future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sutton didn\u2019t hesitate to acknowledge Stern\u2019s enormous influence. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFirst of all, the dude\u2019s 72 years old,\u201d Sutton said. \u201cHe\u2019s held on way longer than most of us would.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sutton argued that Stern\u2019s impact on radio is difficult to replicate, comparing his influence with that of other major figures in entertainment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere\u2019s nobody like him,\u201d he said. \u201cNothing like that will ever exist again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, Sutton believes Stern could have spent more time preparing for the future of his channel by developing new talent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think the negative is that he should have spent the last decade cultivating getting someone to replace him on his channel,\u201d Sutton said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Sutton, the issue isn\u2019t necessarily Stern\u2019s longevity but what happens to a platform once its defining personality is no longer there.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-ralph-sutton-says-he-is-a-little-podcast-out\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ralph Sutton Says He Is \u2018A

an average listener might.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGaS Digital, that I\u2019m co-owner of,\u201d Sutton explained. \u201cThere\u2019s like 30 podcasts on the network.

The algorithm is the gatekeeper.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While creators now have more control over their own careers, Sutton believes the system remains difficult to understand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNow no one understands the algorithm, so it\u2019s just as bad as ever, I think,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, he sees an important advantage in the modern system.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd now at least it\u2019s in your own hands to make your own future, right?\u201d Sutton added.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-ralph-sutton-addresses-gas-digital-s-youtube-problems\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ralph Sutton Addresses GaS Digital\u2019s YouTube Problems<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DaLdj-QpUbF\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:540px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\"\/>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Toward the end of the interview, Sutton opened up about another challenge facing his network: losing its YouTube channel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou know what I\u2019d say is we just lost our YouTube channel, which is so annoying because that\u2019s the world we live in,\u201d Sutton said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The setback, he explained, is part of the reason GaS Digital maintains its own infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s why we own our own servers, because we keep getting shut down,\u201d Sutton said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He encouraged fans who want to support his content to seek it out on platforms where it remains available, including GaS Digital\u2019s own website.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m all for free speech, I\u2019m all for open-mindedness,\u201d Sutton said, adding that people should be able to find content even when they disagree with it.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-ralph-sutton-shares-his-other-podcast-and-a-major-personal-milestone\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ralph Sutton Shares His Other Podcast And A Major Personal Milestone<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DVgjbgAANE6\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:540px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\"\/>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before wrapping up the conversation, Sutton revealed that\u00a0The SDR Show\u00a0isn\u2019t his only podcast.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI also do a health podcast called I Love Good Sugar, which is all about eating right,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also shared a major personal achievement, saying, \u201cI lost 150 pounds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After years in radio and podcasting, Sutton clearly isn\u2019t slowing down.
