  Speaker 1: Let's go back to the beginning.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: We need to go to the beginning.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: We need to get into radio. How did this how
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: did this passion for radio and entertainment start?
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: Like question it actually started. I wanted to do television,
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: so when I was in college, I went to school
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: for television broadcasting. So my dream was always to be
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: a television reporter. So that's really what I had wanted
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: to do. And I actually worked at our local news station.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: I'm from Long Island, so I worked at New twelve,
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: Long Island. I was there. I wanted to get on
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: the air, and then I know.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Terrible research broway, you.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: Know, somebody's got to get fired. Now someone's getting fired.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: I have no podcast if I leave anyways.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: That's right, that's right, could do this, nohow, So you
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: know I was. I was actually while I was in college,
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: I was in so I interned at MTV. I interned
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: with the New twelve Long Island, and I also interned
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: with the radio station, so just to see what radio
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: was all about, because to me, I was like, I'd
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: rather always be seen and heard, not just heard. And
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: I don't know next thing, you know, I kind of
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: just got my break in radio. I worked at News
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: twelve for about two years and they weren't putting me
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: on the air, and I was just like, well, I
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: need to be somewhere where I'm going to be heard.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: So I went to the radio station and they were like,
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: we'll put you on, and within a month I was
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: on and I haven't looked back ever since. Although I
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: still have that passion for television.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: I love that you know, yes, and you've been on
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: all the apps before apps were apps. Right, yes, let's
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: say that, ye. Showing the behind the scenes, looking at
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: what you do in the studio and doing all of that,
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: so you know, the TikTok and twitch and all of
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: that is not new to you because you've always been
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: taking peop kind of scene. So your passion for a
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: TV shows through that.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: From back in camera was just webcams, remember webcams Like
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: that was what I used to do and people would
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: just log on yep. So that's where I had started
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: with all that stuff. And uh, I mean I got
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: my break on camera with Page six. So I did
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: that audition out of four hundred people landed that gig.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: So that was pretty awesome. In such a big part
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: of that, it felt like I won the lottery, Like
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: it felt like when Miss America wins, you know, it's
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: like you never know the winner. And I was like,
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: I actually won, Mick and I did the wave everybody world,
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: Queen is here.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: I love that working with so many different modalities and
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: stations across markets. How have you seen your journey in
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: terms of adapting to the evolution of where we were
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: and where we are today.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: Well, when I started, we used to have cart machines
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: back in the day, yep, carts CDs had to pull
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: the CD. So going from that to now everything on
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: computer incredible. Obviously, I've been able to see that. I
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: wasn't you know, I wasn't in a radio back when
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: people were doing I guess the cutting of the tape
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: and like that. So I hear those stories and I'm like,
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: how does that work? Like that would have cut tape
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: because I mean we had cassettes growing up, and.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I used to if God forbid, when it was cards,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I didn't know I heard about like the test, yes.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: And the only tape I know is a cassette tape.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: And I know there were times where it would get
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: like but like boggled into the machine. It gets eaten,
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: so you have to cut it and then fix it.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: And I'm like, is that what they mean by cutting tape?
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: Because you'd get a blank space. So that's why I'm
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: just like.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Being on radio incil and sometimes so you have no idea,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: like with the carts, like you ever have like a
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: cart skip.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: On airthing like that, like or that it just dies like.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: A song's playing and then it starts going this on
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: air and you have to like hit it or like
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: immediately go to not hoop it out.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah something. It's so crazy.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: It was way more hands on versus now. And then
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: it became this. Yeah, I never forget when it switched
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: and I was like, wait a second, so you're saying
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: it's already here, right, and I just got to hit
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: this butnon right and then go to this button.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: Because remember we would have to cue the song to
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: a certain time. You know, you had to do everything manually.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Commercials so commercial breaks you you had to get it ready,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: so you'd have to put each commercial in and depending
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: on how many slash Day had available, you'd have to
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: rotate them and keep it moving and as one after one,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: once to the next one. Remember they're like thirty seconds
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: or a second sixty seconds long. You'd have to go
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: to the next one and put them in. It was crazy.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: It was definitely more of a manual job. Now I
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: feel like it's like coasting literally just yeah.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: It's crazy. Literally you can automate your whole show, right.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: And knowing that once everything got onto computer, I was
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: just like, well, what if the computer dies? Like that's
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: always been my fear. I even even to this day,
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: I still sometimes think when they're just like, oh, you know,
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: you could reset the computer, I'm like, what do you
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: mean reset? If you reset, it turns.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: It off, doesn't the show?
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: Like, aren't you going to lose the song?
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: No?
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: No, it's playing in the backup server. I'm like, well,
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: where's the backup server? So I know it's actually on.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: So I still kind of freak out about it.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: It's weird radio drama. Yeah it is.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: It is because I because we've both been there where
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: there everything goes black. Oh yeah, so the song's playing,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: but when it when it ends, did the is the
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: next song? Or when the whole log just clears out,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: like everything you're looking on the screen just acts like
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: there's nothing there yep, oh my god. But they're like,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: don't worry, it's it's in the back, it's it's behind it.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: And the dead air is a nightmare for any radio jock.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: That is the one thing that you just don't want happening.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: And the one thing I always hear is even if
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: there's like a one or two second laps of dead air,
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: to me, that's like twenty seconds. It's wild.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Have you ever been in the car and listened yeah
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: to the radio.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: Yes, and I'm like, somebody's getting fired.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm calling the radio station like this dead air?
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Is there air? Yep? Yeah.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: But meanwhile, the average listener doesn't really pick up on it.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: It's us, we hear it.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, they pick up it's really.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: If it's too long, if it's like a good show, Oh.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I've been in the car, what I've been in the car? Wait,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: and then you have to wait for the backup servers
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: to kick in.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: That means it's been off the air for like a minute,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: which a minute off the air is it's like ten,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: it feels like twenty minutes. Yeah, listening to that, yep.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: There have been times people would put a station on
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: and there's just nothing happening. It's just like or the.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: You know, things happened. There's been times where like the
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: antennas or something goes completely out, so all the radio
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: stations will be out and it's nothing. So you're in
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: the studio, you're playing music, so for you, you think
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: you're on the air, right, no one could hear it.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: I remember though, back in the day, we used to
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: have in my other stations, we had a little alarm
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: that would like go off, so you'd see a light
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: start flashing, so you know you're off the air, even
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: if you're playing music.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: No, I didn't even realize it.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm actually worried sometimes.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I'm like, they always had a dead air alert that
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: went off in the studio.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: YEP, this is this is the transitions of radio, the
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: evolution of what's going on.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's a nightmare.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: And then if you're doing you live through that.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: It can still happen, you know, we don't want it
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: to happen.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Back radio days, it was so I had a Saturday
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: show and it was nine to twelve, and I did
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: this for four years, and one day the DJ didn't
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: show up. He's like, I had a family emergency. I
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: can't show up. And I'm like, I go live in
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: five minutes. What did you do? What am I going
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: to do? Like, I don't have a pre mix, I
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: didn't have anything. What did you do? I'm like I yes,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: I'm like this is a problem. No, I'm like this
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: is a problem. So no, and it was Yeah, it
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: was probab it was right. Yeah, it's like live right, webcam,
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: all the things right what we were talking about earlier.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: So I had to call like one of the other guys,
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: O Angel that was here on the pod. I was
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: called Angel did it and he was like, Okay, I'm
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: going to walk you through this. And then after that,
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm taking a DJ class and I'm learning
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: how to do this and that's what I forced myself
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: to learn.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: Good for you.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: I was like, that's I never want to go through
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: this again. So for the first ten minutes I had,
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: like the intern on the mic. It was really bad.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: We're like, well, we're right, this is what we're doing.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: Like we're just we're going through this so yeah, can't
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: even Yeah, you.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: Got improvise sometimes you got to make a way. H
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: you never know, crazy, I know I know that that's
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: like Honestly though, I do like the adrenaline rush of
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: being live with that sometimes sometimes when you're thrown into
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: the fire like that, that's what just gets you, just
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: gets you going, you know.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: I like it it's what are you gonna do? You
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: know you have to be liquid? Do you have a panic?
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: Kicks it?
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: We don't have a problem. I would have found a
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: way to get some backup music on or something that
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: you got to figure out something. You had to have
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: a CD to play something.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: We did. After that, there was backups. After that, there
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: were incentives, which brings us to you know, you need
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: energy in what you do and you need consistency. So
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: what fuels you to do what you do every day?
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: Actually, no, it gives you wings. But no, Actually what
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: fuels me is everybody else's drama aka the entertainment world.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: That is what fuels me because there's always something happening,
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: something going on, there's always something to talk about. So
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: that's what I love about this job is that every
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: day is always a new adventure. You never know what
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: you're getting into the next day. You can't always planet
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: because there's always some breaking news. There's always something that happens.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: There's always something to keep you on your toes. So
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: if you're like, oh my gosh, like you know you
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: work at nine to five, Oh my day's boring, or
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: do the same thing over and over, we don't We
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: might do the same thing over and over, but with
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: new and new information.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: So that's why I love it so much, because it's
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: not repetitive. I love that fuels me a lot.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: I love that. And what keeps you connected with your audience.

  Speaker 4: could talk to them in real time. So that's perfect
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: because sometimes, you know, the messages get buried in the
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: side dms and unless you're actually checking them, you don't
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: always see Sometimes I'm like, oh my god, I haven't

  Speaker 1: People.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: I love when we post something dms are open. I
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: love when we post something about the pod because like
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: pro and minds, our moms have like I don't know
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: if it's like an unwritten battle of like who's going
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: to comment first?
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: My mom always kind, well, my mom's always up, like
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: at three or four in the morning. You think that's
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: when she starts writing that. She said, my mom, I
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: think forgot that she could actually text my phone. She
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: sent me a.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: Beautiful Easter DM and I was like, oh, that's so nice,
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: and she's like, I thought it was a comment. I'm like, no, it's.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: The worst.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Also, like thinking she's texting me.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: My mom will comment on my things thinking it's a
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: private message.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: That's what I was going to say. That's the way
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: like parents nowadays, they don't understand, like you know, how
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: social media works, so they'll be trying to write you something.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: They'll write it on your wall and it's like that
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: was supposed to be private.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: My mom send me a message the other day and
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: I realized she she added like six other people, like
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: it was like a group message to myself, a group DM. Yeah.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: I was like, why is there other people? Test this?
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: And I raced it and I told her and she's like,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: what what are you talking about?
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Like, just stay off of off Instagram right at.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Three or four in the morning when you woke up
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: for some reason, because the in your mind you're like
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: all over the place.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: Parents, they just stand.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Exactly, They just which brings us to Malcolm in the middle. Oh,
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: life is so unfair.
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: Oh my goodness. Yeah, I just I was just at
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: the carpet for that. That was incredible. I got to
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: meet a couple of the cast members. That was awesome.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: I remember like growing up to that show.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So I didn't really remember the whole premise of
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: the show until they showed us the first two episodes
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: and I was like, I do kind of remember this now,
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: but now it's like the older version of them. So
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: now Malcolm is a parent. It's actually really cool. Like
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to give any spoilers or anything. You
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: have to watch it, but.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: So Astra influenced me and I watched the first couple
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: of episodes. It's hilarious. It is, it is, it really is.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: It's interesting. It's an interesting that character as an adult
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: is still the same character. And how many guest appearances.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: It's so funny.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: Yes, and now his child is like him.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: Yes, but it's a girl.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: Yes, So it's a girl version of him, and it's crazy.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: It's hysterically the parents. Oh, it's funny. How growing up
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: we were like, Wow, this show is so dysfunctional, and
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: now as adults, I'm like relatable.
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: It's so real, very relatable. Yes that I'm just watching Yes,
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: and I'm like wow. I was like, so, I'm not
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: the only one that has messed up family. Okay, everybody does.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: It's true.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: You see something in everybody there that like is so relatable.
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: It's a pretty cool show. I like covering carpets and
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: things like that. That's like my thing.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: What are you?
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: I was about to say, so, what do you like?
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Do you like the in person, live aspect of doing
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: entertainment versus behind the scenes on the radio or which
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: one do you like better?
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: A little like a little mix of boths because behind
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: the scenes on radio, I can actually prepare it so
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: that I can deliver it properly. But then in person,
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: I do like just being able to talk to somebody
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: and like improv you know, you're kind of just going off.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: It's almost like when you're doing an interview. You might
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: go in with your questions, but then based off what
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: they say, it kind of diverts into something different that
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: you weren't even maybe expecting to talk about that it's like,
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: oh my goodness, let's talk more about that, and you
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: kind of get into things that you never even thought
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: about maybe prepping for, you know. So I do kind
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: of like that too, because that's when you get the
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: dirt out of them. Sometimes they come in not wanting
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: to talk about something, and then they're spilling it all.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: You know how that goes. They're like, I'm not the
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: don't ask about this, we're not talking about this. They'll
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: be like did you hear yeah, tell us more please,
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: And that's the way it comes out.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: The first thing I guess could do is tell you
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: in advance what not to bring up, right, because.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: Then that's what you want to be.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: The thing is is a lot of these reps tell
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: you like they'll pull the interview if you bring it up,
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: so you have to let them bring it up. But
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: if you're really good at interviewing, you know how to
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: get it out of them without bringing it up. So
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: I love that.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: That's awesome. How about that? How about the morning show hours?
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: I mean you never get yeah, you never get used
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: to the hours, the hours, and people I know that
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: did mornings for like many many years, they're always like,
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: you never get used to it. Because I'm like I
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: would think that your body finally gets conditioned. It's true,
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: like you just never do because you're always tired. So
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: I find myself taking naps now during the day. I
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: love a good nap, but my naps are not like
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: my naps are not those like twenty minute thirty minute naps.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: Like I'm like a two to three hour napper.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: That's not even like I'm asleep. I'm a sleep napper.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: I can through like a power nap, sleep like a
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: fifteen minutes. If I put an alarm, I just forget it.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Then your whole sleep schedules off because I'll sleep like
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: three hours and you're like, oh, it's eleven pm. I'm
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: Wired's content.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: When you take a small nap like a power nap,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: they consider it really energizes it versus if you seek
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: too long, suppose that you stay tired.
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: See, and the opposite for me and power nap does
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: not exist. Like I've tried those twenty thirty minute naps,
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: I wake up more tired than I was, and I
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: was like, why did I do that to myself? I
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: would rather do like one to three hours, let's say,
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: of a nap and then continue along with my day.
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: And then I can go back to sleep later because
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: I just love sleeping. Like if somebody would be like,
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: do you want to go to go to sleep? I
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: want to go to sleep. I'd rather sleep than go.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: Out astroes that meme your friend cancels the plants and they're.
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: Like, okay, buy no problem, my shoes are already off,
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: and I'm happy that you know the meme.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: That's like, or what time we're we meeting up? They're
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: like nine pm, He's like at nine right at nine pes.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: That's where I'm at now. I'm just like dinners have
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: to be at like seven, seven thirty.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: Like, who am my events in one day? Yeah?
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: Who am? I? I'm just like I gotta be in
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: bed by a certain time, like and I know that
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: if I go to events earlier in the week, it
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: messes up my whole week. Like I tell people, I
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: cannot do anything till like Thursday, maybe Wednesday.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: I can push it.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: Every threadit Thursday's decisions.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's meal of clubs. Yeah. If I stop doing
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: clubs from I don't do I don't take bookings from
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Sunday all the way to Thursday. Because I realized that
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: either nine night ten times I'm going to cancel yep, myself,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: like I'm just not gonna be able to make it
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: because then I get so tired and I start thinking
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: of the next morning. Yeah, you know, because I help
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: with the kids and going to take them to school.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I can't get home at five seven, no,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: so and the nap stuff doesn't work for me either,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Like that's it's terrible because I don't leave my house
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: till like one in the morning to go to the club.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: So see.
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: But now the crazy thing is when I was working
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: page six, I was doing page six and doing mornings here.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: So I was working from six in the morning till
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: about seven thirty at night, in bed at eight thirty,
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: up again at five in the morning. I had forty
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: eight hours of freedom a week.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: That was it.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: So I was on like autopilot at that point. So
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: I feel like now I'm catching up on all the
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: sleep that I missed out on. Yeah, I'm always tired.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, beautiful, but the day's probably sleep. I just want
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: to relax.

• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Though? This big?

  Speaker 1: city to like dog parks and we had to stop
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: people be like, I try, your dog's gonna get killed.

  Speaker 1: rock whilers and pit bulls and stuff, and they're just
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: looking at like damn.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: So she thinks she's like a pit bull, Napoleon.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: I'm talking to the point where you're holding her back
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: on a leash and she's scraping her hands trying to
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: get to the animals to wear her her pores are bleeding.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: No way, yeah, something in her head.

  Speaker 4: sniff and be like, hey, what's up. But then like
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: keep going.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: On her waiting to like not waiting. But like I
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: always say, like she's gonna get killed outside because we
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: let her outside, and like she's ran up on like deers.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: And you have ever seen those deers where they like
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: she's going to catch a two pieces in a biscuit

  Speaker 1: from a deer and be it for her. She's like
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: fourteen years old already, oh wow, in our years, so wow.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: So she's like one elderly one away from elderly, one
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: deer attack from being over we lost her twice where
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: I thought it was over for her.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: But it was like he cannot be trust He cannot
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: be trusted because if he's not, only she will run
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: and leave a strangers. He has left with other.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: People, feeling you like that.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: No, he's just he loves people get from so he

• 23:11
  Speaker 4: off leash too at times like she'll be fine and
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: then I'll call her. She'll come right over. But she
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: wants to say hi and talk to everyone, and I'm like,
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: not everyone wants to be bothered. But the craziest part is,
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: you know how tiny our dogs are. What bothers me
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: is when somebody's like, oh my god, I'm like, what
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: are you scared of? You could kick it. It's like
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: a little rat.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so I avoid the more scared of.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: My dog is a little under three pounds.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: You have to find it.

  Speaker 1: Have a ring video of a girl. A girl was
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: dropping off a lady older lady actually not old, but
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: a woman was dropping off like a door dash liver
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: or something. And when we opened the door, our dog
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: ran out. This lady screamed so loud and backed up
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: and almost thank god she knew full because I thought
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: she literally she was wearing sandals and sometimes she jumped
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: out of her sandals and ran back to her car
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: and had to bring her her sandals. That's crazy. I
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: had apologize to her, and I was just like, but
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: that I don't get.
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, there's people that I really have a
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: we have a grammar school, you know, across the street,
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: so I have to avoid the times. So like, you
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: know when he's elderly, right, he's he just turned eleven,
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: and he has moments where he doesn't want to go
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: out at six am for the run, so he wants
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: to go out at like eight when I have to
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: run out the door. And I'm like okay, And then
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: half the kids and the other half are like like
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: they're like throwing the book bags in the air running
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: and I'm like, I'm like, guybody like an.
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: Adult that but that blows my mind. I'm like, what
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: are you scared of? I was like, her teeth are
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: not even the size of chick lits, Like she can't
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: even even if she tried to bite.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: Maybe they hadn't encounter with you know, terror Yorky in
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: their life and maybe not their'scard it happens, Yeah, you don't.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: I'm saying it startled like in the moment because you
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: weren't expecting something to jump out, but then you realize,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: what the hell, Well, you know.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: What people think? They think my dog is a New
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: York City rat because she's so tiny. They're like, oh
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: my god, I thought it was a.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: Round like in a dress and too.
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a rat and a dress. Okay, we're gonna run
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: from that.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: I'd run from a rat and address.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: Imagine that's funny.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: So we're leaning into the next question, which is who
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: has askedra off the airwaves. Well, she's a fierce mama.
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: I mean, not to any actual child, but to a
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: fur baby.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: It's a child. It is the amount of money that
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: they cost us.
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: I mean, I will say she's very low maintenance. My
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: dog doesn't need to get walked. She's inside on pad. Yeah,
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: she's an indoor dog, so she gets excited to go outside.
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: I don't have to walk her. So during the winter months,
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: I'm home, napping, sleeping, whatever.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: That's why I would never do a big dog. So
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: like when I'm leaving in the winter to take the
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: case to school whatever, and I'm seeing people walking their
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: dogs because you have to write. I'm just like, this
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: is why I would never get a great dogs. Well
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: that's too, you know.
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: But never underestimate the size of a I.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Would say, the biggest, big one. Sometimes that responsibility that
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: comes with it too. And this has become like a
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: whole dog.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: I know, but it is. It's a lot of response.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: The whole mom is not an easy it's.
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: Not I finally flew with her for the first time.
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: I was it was great her first flight. And I
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: hate to even say this because it sounds so like braggadocious,
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: but like her first flight was private.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Of course it was okay, astra, I mean.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: It wasn't.
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: My friend had the plane. I just you know, I
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: went along for the ride.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: But she was like, I don't do pedestrian flight.
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: We don't do domestic, you know, we don't do domestic here,
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: we do private. And that was her first flight ever.
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: And I said, only this dog would fly private for
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: her very first flight.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: That's so cool. But she did go. We flew back
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: commercial and she was like, this flew commercial.
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: I saw the attitude and I saw the adage first flight.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we went to go visit Grandma in Florida.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: Oh n, you don't like the fight, but he loved.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: That's fine. We all have. We've traveled a bunch of
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: times with our dog, and depending on where we were sitting,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: if there was another animal, we had to like enclose
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: the whole bag that she was in. Yeah, because then
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: once she realized it was an animal, Oh, hears the
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: whole flight in the bag and people, Oh, yeah, that's crazy.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: She has like something cycle in her head. I don't
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: know what it is.
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: The good thing about flying private is they could roam
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: around the plane so.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: As there's not another dog there.
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: Well, my friend had her two dogs on the plane,
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: so I.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Would have worked for my dog. It would have been
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: stuck in a private plane with a vicious dog in
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: the bag. Yeah. It's funny because we've let her run
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: up on dogs and she acts crazy and sometimes we
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: don't know. She just wants to play and that's her
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: way of like communicating.
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: Oh it just sounds aggressive.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but she comes across like if I had if
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: she ran up on our dog, I'd be like, keep
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: your dog, like this maniac dog away from us. That's
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: how she is.
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: I'm always afraid other dogs might do something to my dog.
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: So I'm like, is your dog nice, because like she'll
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: just run up.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: So I took him to this episode. Has really become
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: a petist.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: But I get back to his career and.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's a dog run and we're going
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: need a part too. There was a pip and he's
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: like so curious and inquisitive and he goes up to
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: the piple. The pile smells him and he's like, oh, mom,
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: my friend. He looks at me and I'm like whatever.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: The dog like lifted the leg and pete on him
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: and he started crying. So he started crying, looked at
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: me like and then he did not like every time
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: he would see the dog run, he would start like
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: pulling to go the opposite way of like I don't
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: want to go there.
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: Oh my god, that's the last day we went to
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: that dog. Oh no, yeah, I mean, well, I do
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: have other kids. They're not alive though they're eggs. I
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: have frozen eggs. We could talk about that. It's interesting. Yeah,
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: I mean a nice little segue. I know, you know
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: we're talking animal baby.
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: How was that process?
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: It was incredible.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: I thought about it.
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: You should do it. I highly recommend it. That's one
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: thing I was a.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: Girl art asked her an IDM about our our men's situation,
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: men's situations, our journeys looking for men some of those
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: right now, dating we are not going to.
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: It's just in general, like how dating is horrific in
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: this you know day and.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: Eight it is when we start with girl.
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, girl, yeah, you know something's about to come exactly.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Well we're need a part two.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we definitely are.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: We're wrapping up already.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, Liam's like, you guys are way over already?
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Are we way over on time already? See? Well it's finished.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: So how is that process?
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: So basically, obviously you have to do shots for a while,
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: you have to pretty much harvest your eggs, and then
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: what I like to call it is when they go
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: and they do an egg extraction, so they take out
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: the eggs that were harvested and they freeze them. So
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: I had, I had, I was begging for at least
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: ten eggs because you know, I did it when I
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: was a little bit older than like normal. But the
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: lady was like the doctor, she was like, if your
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: insides are as good as your outside, because she goes,
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: you look younger than you are. She goes, we'll be
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: in business. She told me at the insides of like
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: a twenty five year old. So I had a lot
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: of eggs. So they got out twenty one and they
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: saved nineteen of them. So they're all frozen. They told
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: me that by the time they defrost, they'll probably bring
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: them down to about fifteen because you know, you lose
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: some in the defrosting process. She goes, it'd probably be
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: a guaranteed three embryos. And I'm like, oh, that's good
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: to know. So how many years it's now been ten
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: years that they've been frozen. It's actually this year is
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: ten years. And I pay for them every year. You
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: literally have to pay like storage fees for them. So
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: I'm paying. But you know what it is there like
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: a shelf life. No, they can last forever. Really, yeah,
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: they last forever as well as you keep paying, right,
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: But what if that like let's say the facility you
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: went to, what if that facility closes, they'll transfer.
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: Them to another facility that has like cry, oh yeah, this.
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: Is so I feel like we could do a whole episode.
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: Just I would be so totally down to talk about
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: that because I'm so.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: Croz Like I've thought about it.
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think, I honestly think you should do it
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: no matter what, because to me, it's an insurance policy.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: Look at it as if you don't have a man
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: right now, which you know we've talked about this New
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: York City and if you and part of it is like,
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: do you do you want to be a single mom.
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: I have a friend that actually did do that. You know,
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: you get the sperm donor and you.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: Know you yeah, something to think about it, right, because
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: I really thought about it when I got diagnosed, you know,
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: with kinney failure and lupus and everything, and I said,
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: you know, let me. I thought about it because I said,
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: you know, if you decide to have a surrogate or
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: whatever the case later on in life. But then because
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: I was on treatment, I couldn't do it, you know,
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: Manama Gucci, Now.
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, look look into it. I honestly say, get it done,
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: because the older you get, the lower your egg count becomes,
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: and that's why you have to do more rounds, they say.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: So I have friends that have tried it. They'll get
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: out maybe three or five eggs in one round. So
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: for me to get out twenty one, that was like incredible.
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: I'm like really blessed about that. That's why I say, like,
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: definitely look into it. It's something worth doing, for sure. Interesting,
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: you never know. It gives you the option. So if
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: you get to a certain age and you're like, you
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: know what, I don't want to have kids, at least
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: you know you have that ability to use the young
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: because at this point that my age, now, if I
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: were to go have kids, I'd want to use my
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: younger egg right, just for safety's sake. You just never know.
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: Interesting. Yeah, I'm sure we're gonna get a lot of
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: comments about this, So if y'all have done the journey,
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: let ask her.
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: And I know, yeah, I'd love to hear about it.
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: I wonder how many eggs you got and if you
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: ever got them fertilized.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, put in the comments how many it just put
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: the egg emoji and just.
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: And how many babies out of those eggs?
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: Put the little.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: This is hilarious.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: No, this is it's some women don't have options. Worlds Like,
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: how did I end up in this conversation.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Into like a dog pets.
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: You know, but you as a man, you as a
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: man can have a kid up until the day you die.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: As women, as women, there's limitations unfortunately. Yeah, depending on
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: genetics that there's a way factors something.
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: I always say, definitely look into it and do it
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: if you can do it.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: Well, this episode took a lot of turn and so
• 32:48
