I am assuming that the audio isn't uploaded yet or archived yet. I'll do the best I can, so here it goes.

Introduction: Stan or Haney used words like Rock Legend, performer, actor and icon to introduce Meat Loaf then announced that they are going to just start this by playing Meat Loaf's new single Living On The Outside off of his new album Cool Hang Teddy Bear (me: rolls eyes and grabs the top of my hair). They said that this song absolutely rocks so have a listen: they play the beginning of LOTO until the ...C'mon Baby Just Ride With Me part.

They were super stoked to have Meat Loaf on the line. They started out with Meat Loaf how are ya? Meat: Fantastic (with a laugh). They immediately extend birthday wishes along with questioning if he would have a big party. Again Meat laughs and says (paraphrasing) no, when you get over the....16, 21, 30, 40 you pay no attention to the rest of em' and say OMG. They ask what they could anticipate over 40. Meat says, you can expect pains after that. You start asking, why does this or that hurt?

HCTB: Stan and Haney are totally into HCTB (they got the name right). They speak of the industry and how they are into their show and the "other departments" are into the playlists. They talked about the shame that it is that songs off HCTB aren't on their own playlist rotation. I think Haney is all about Like A Rose at this point. Stan talks about how it seemed that the promotion team aboard HCTB seemed to drop the ball (my words not theirs...my notes were more like shorthand so I forgot what words were exactly used, but it had to do with missing the mark). Meat laughs at this point and tells them to keep talking. (as if they weren't wrong).

Meat: States that there is a lot to this record. He went into explaining the title, the screenplay, Killian Kerwin, Rob Cavallo, and yes, our beloved PATRICK. Meat used an analogy that made me giggle...he said HCTB was like a twisted/derranged Rock and Roll Christmas Carol.

Music Business: (this was interesting) Meat used the analogy of being in the music business right now is like going 20 rounds with Muhammad Ali. The album was skewed to a younger audience so Classic Rock won't play it because they are scared of things like LIKE A ROSE. And New Rock won't play it because they hear Meat Loaf and automatically put him in Classic Rock. Going on Meat says LOTO can fit the Classic Rock demographic. Meat elaborates on how Los Angeloser did well in the UK but that music still effects (or is it affects) the daily life over in the UK still and he isn't sure for how much longer that will be the case. Whereas in the US, music is not that impactful anymore (sadly).

Live performances: Meat is happy playing POE off the back of Bat and it has it's own weight for a new song. He is pleased with the way the audience has responded where it lies in the set. Meat says POE, LOTO and SOM are songs just like Bat where he is transported when he does them live. He goes to "another" place and time.

Back to HCTB: They talk about the "star" lineup on the CD. Meat talks about his friends and where their paths crossed prior to HCTB. Including, Jack Black and Hugh Laurie, as well as, the familiar Brian May and Steve Vai friendships Meat was happy to talk about.

They touched on a rumor or fact question before they had to let Meat go: they asked Meat if he were going to appear on Glee. Meat said oh yeah, we just finished Glee it's going to air on Oct. 26th. Meat said he had a small part but they had asked him and Bostwick to come back as a reoccurring role. So, Meat seemed happy about that.

Finally, one of they guys had to tell Meat that he's seen him live several times and that Meat was the Best Live Performer out there. He said that Meat is absolutely awesome and Hang Cool Teddy Bear is awesome. His favorite song is Like A Rose and it is a station favorite but that they are not allowed to play it.

Closings: The duo thanked Meat Loaf very very much for taking the time to come on today. And Meat Loaf graciously thanked them very very much for having him :)

With that the other guy (not sure who was who at this point) said, alright we'll play only 20 seconds of Like A Rose for you (the audience). But they started the song from the beginning and ended up closing out the segment with it up until the "F*ck you when she's done" with the "F*ck" edited out.

I had to run out the door to get to the soccer fields before my roster showed up for practice. It's a two hour ordeal when I'm at the fields. I just had a moment to gather my notes and get this out to you guys. Most of this is paraphrased but it is in order of the interview. It was about 18 minutes long. I hope the audio becomes available, I'm sorry, I'm an idiot when it comes to recording on a computer.
