  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay's best music is Jadge ninety four nine.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: These conversations need to keep happening here, and so, first off,
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: I want to say thank you. If you've been listening
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: to all the other previous podcasts, we're going to catch
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: you up. If this is your first one, well there's
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: a lot to talk about.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Scott wants to say thank you. I want to apologize
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: for what I having to listen to us.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Wait a second, Okay, so it's Scotty and Abbey.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Why do you want to apologize being satirical? Scott?
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: But they get to see a different side of maybe
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: myself if they don't know me. But also maybe they're
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: learning new things about you and your new adventure over
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: here to Tampa, if they followed you since you've been
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: in Atlanta. And maybe Jack's maybe it's family stuff. Maybe
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: it's people that have been in your life that you
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: don't even know have been in your life. Yeah, Like,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: weren't you just saying that there's been people since you've
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: moved here that have hit you up that you haven't
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: seen in over a decade.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I haven't seen some of these people in twenty years.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: And they're like, we should catch up I'm like on
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: middle school question mark.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Well, do you think that they're listening to something like this?
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Do you think when they you post it up on
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: your Instagram that they're like, oh ooh, let me take
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: a look and see what Abby's been up to.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Maybe, And that's really sweet. I don't mean to make
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: a snarky comment about that, but it is just random
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: because I moved to Tampa thinking, Okay, nobody's really got
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: to care that a movie to Tampa, and then I
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: have all these people being like, hey, hey, I'm in Tampa.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Hey I'm in Tampa, and all of a sudden, I'm like,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: whoa people.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: I think it's because as adults we realize how lonely
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: it really could be.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and also I think we're more comfortable putting ourselves
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: out there. So but it is just funny. It's like
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: people you went to high school with or whatever that
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: you never spoke to in high school are all of
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: a sudden like hey.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's you know what's so fascinating is it's
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: not talked about when you're growing up, but like the
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: chapters of Friends, where you have to really be like, look,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: we were close at one point and I love that chapter,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: but it does not mean we need to continue being
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: friends just because we've known each other. Yeah, and closing
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: those pages is very hard and it's very awkward, especially
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: like if you want it but they don't want it,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: because I have a lot of people I went to
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: high school with now that live in the area. But
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: again it's the same thing. We haven't seeing each other
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: in over a decade. God dang, that makes me feel old.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: But I'm like, there's no need. You have your own
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: life going. If I ever see you out and about,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I will give you the most warm embrace. I'll do
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: that little catch up thing. And I don't really like
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: to do. I don't like to try to compress ten
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: years into like one minute conversation. Yea, So it's kind
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: of annoying with someone's like, how have you been.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: When over ten years since graduation?
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like what have you been up to a lot?
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm an adult now, I pay taxes.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I'm noticing actually now, and I
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: don't know whatever. It's fine now when I get together
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: with somebody like it'll be exciting. I'll be like, let's
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: catch up, and there feels I'm curious if you've been
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: in this where there's like a catch. There's always a
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: catch right now. Like I've gone and hung out with
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: people and I'm like, oh, this is so great, and
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: then they're like, oh, and by the way, since we're here,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: I work for this financial company and I can help
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: get your finances in order. Or I work for this
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: marketing company and I would love if you know, we
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: couldner together. And I'm like, you, mother, you just used me.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: You used our connection from the past as a let's
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: catch up to turn into a business opportunity. Yeah, do
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: you get that? Do you have friends that have done
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: that to you? No?
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I think it looks different for women, and I think
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: it looks different for women in the influencing space. I
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: don't particularly call myself an influencer. I think I work
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: in media.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Or you got twenty six point six thousand followers on
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Instagram alone.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: That's because of the radio.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Wait a second, wait, wait, wait, and then we go
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: to TikTok. You got over a hundred thousand on TikTok.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: I'm not an influencer. I just got a lot of
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: damn followers.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: When influencing starts paying my bills, I will consider myself
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: an influencer.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Which technically it could, right, I mean, you have you
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: gotten partnerships on the ground this is what you know what.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna let it infuriate me. I'm gonna let
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: it make me curious. How do people that have far
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: less followers make a balling living on Instagram whereas like
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: you are not profiting from your Instagram.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but I don't think I'm the outlier.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think social media is as
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: profitable as people think it is unless you're one of
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the big ones, do you know what I mean? So,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I've definitely gotten a handful of profitable partnerships, but it's
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: a once a year type deal, and it'll be profitable
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: in the sense that it's like, oh, Rent was covered.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: That's nice, and that's it.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Are you hoping that somebody will pick us up here
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: for like our sweet Treat Friday of like, oh, we'll
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: pay you to come on out here and do a feature.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I don't even need them to pay us, just give
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: us free dessert.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Gosh. I mean that would be nice too.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, like mistakes and my standards are low.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Well, dang, I mean we should actually charge's getting a
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: lot of eyeballs on it, but I understand. I don't
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: think we need to charge immediately, but I do like
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: the idea of eventually pitching that and saying hey, because
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: that's what influence are doing. Like right, Yeah, we got
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: to talk to Alexia because I want to see how
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: she has set it up, because she is somebody that
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: makes a living on social media, has done it for years.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Is it just the ask? Is it just we're not
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: asking enough?
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: No? Because I've done asks before to brands where I'm like, hey,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: would you like to work together?
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: And as I know, yeah, or I.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Mean it's not it's not as if our sales team
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: here or at any other radio station doesn't know we
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: have a big following. Just no one's selling it. And
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I've pitched myselves to agents or to managers and have
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: really gotten nothing back.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Honestly, that's wild. I know because that's what I look
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: at and I see otherre's other tons obviously in any
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: big city, but like in the Tampa Bay area, I mean,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: it's like there's people that just absolutely crush. All they
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: do is just go out to different restaurants, they eat
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: all the good food, and they're making bank and I'm like,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: I could eat and I could.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Post I've seen you eat, you can do that, I
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: could put it down. That's why I think what Aluxi
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: does is so impressive, because she I told her when
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I lived in Atlanta and I was on the biggest
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: show in Atlanta, I really didn't get a lot of
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: stuff for free, and if I did, it was because
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: somebody else had an endorsement with the radio station. Like
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I think one of the things I've gotten for free
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: is laser hair, but it was because somebody had an
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: endorsement and they were just treating the rest of the cast.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Whereas everybody gets a laser No, you get a zabs app.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: I get a zaps app.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: That sounds nice, these zipediz app me. So Alexi is like, yeah,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I got this for free and this for free and
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: all I have to do is post. I'm like, wow,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: the fuck is no one new to see my platform?
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Like horror out my Instagram. I will gladly post on
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: your behalf, even if it's just an exchange of free
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: stuff like I've emailed hotels. I mean I've done I've
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: really done it all, and no one seems to be
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: really interested.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: You need a PR team.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: No, I think it's a sales team. You have to
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: find people who know how to sell your Instagram Mmmm.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Do they have that for Instagram? Probably take the big
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: ones are Yeah, And.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I've pitched myself. I said, hey, I have twenty six
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: thousand followers, why don't you sell me? And I never
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: hear back.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Because I think the difference too now and luckily this
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: has looked at it like it's not so much about
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: the followers, but how engaging are your followers? And honestly,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: the people you have on Instagram are awesome.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: So they're so ready to lock in on anything you do.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: No, it's it's insane, And honestly, it's the power of
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: who I used to work for. I mean, that show
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: had such a cult following that I truly am just
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: riding the wave of what's left of that. So I'm
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: really grateful for them and the community that we had
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: up in Atlanta.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And if you're somebody that's on that Instagram, like,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: I see you, I see you up in the comments,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: I see how you post on all the different reels
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: and things that we're doing now, and again, that's a
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: thank you moment because that is what you then take
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: eventually to the bosses here and you're like, y'all, this
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: is ebundence that we're doing something good. That obviously something matters,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: So fill and bank for what you want.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Let me let me do the job I was hired
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: to do. Well.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's gonna be the bigger conversation as it
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: continues to unfold. And I think that's what it's going
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: to slowly turn into, because this station was never like that.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: The most actually it's crazy is the more that you're
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: seeing of just like the smaller benchmarks, these tiny bits
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: of talk time like that has grown tremendously from when
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: I first was like I was an abby chair just
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: a couple of years ago, where it's like they brought
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: me in, They're like, all right, we'll let you talk eventually,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: and I was like, okay, I guess I was like,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: I'll hang out for a while, and then things just
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: happened to work in my favor, so I actually got
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: to just do the whole thing. But from where it
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: was to what it's now is crazy. But I also
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: understand from you coming from a massive show that was
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: just yip and yappitty the whole time, and then this,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: you're like, holy bleep, this is not exactly what I
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: was expecting. So the shock is actually understandable, and it's
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: also understandable from all the comments that I see, all
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: the messages that I see. I understand you. I give
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: you grace. No, I know, I want you know, the
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: higher powers to see it too, which is again another
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: reason why, you know, when we put up those videos,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: thank you for the comments, when we put up the podcast,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: thank you for the listens, because that's like, okay, hey,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: by the way, here's all the numbers, and uh, you
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: won't do what you want with that, but we have
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: a good idea, so I think it's better to listen.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Seriously, if you press play on this podcast, you're helping. Absolutely,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: you are helping. I mean, have have your neighbors, have
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: your coworkers repost it on your story, post play. Genuinely,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: the numbers on these on these podcasts are really really encouraging,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: So I really appreciate you being here.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And also it's there so you could see even
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: more because even when we start talking more on the air,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: there's gonna be things that we're not allowed to talk
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: about that we talk about here, which I like so
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: so far. I do want to say it because I
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: saw your post recently about the things that you really
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: like in Tampa so far the.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Things I like about Tampa. And then my first impressions
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: is someone who just moved here, even though I visit
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: here a lot.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Okay, so let's what are the first impressions so far,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: because it's been three weeks. Yes, so far, what do
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: you have?
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: My first impressions is that Tampa is very fitness forward,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: very health conscious. Everything. Nobody's wearing clothes here. Nobody is
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: wearing clothes in Tampa.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: That's the man. That's the beautiful thing about living in Florida.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: It's sunny, you could get tan. It's already warm, and
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: we're in the middle of February. Like love that, And
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: that's why I don't ever. I maybe we'll live somewhere
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: else in like maybe a part of the year. I
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: could see myself being a snowbird. I can't wait too
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: but like a house always in Florida for this reason.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Right now, this weather, Oh my god, I'm glad you
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: appreciate that it's air conditioned weather.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm from Florida, so I didn't think much
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: of moving to Tampa because Florida is not exactly something
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: new for me. But walking around and seeing Bayshore and
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: going down to the Edge district in Saint Pete, that.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Has to be different because you were in Jacksonville.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Hey, yeah, and Jackson's really more. Jackson is sort of
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: this weird no man's land where it's South Georgia ish,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: but it's still very Florida. You mean, like, I don't
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: talk like somebody like they're from South Georgia. Have you
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: hear anybody in VII, Dahlia or Valdosta? They all sound real.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: So there's North Florida. I got a lot of family from.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Up there, but I'm from I grew up in North Florida,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: and I feel like I have a very non regional addiction.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Where do yeah, Like, does anybody in your family have
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: a Southern accident?
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: No, nobody. Everybody in Florida talks about exactly like I do.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: I'm almost offended.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: No, I know we're not very Southern. We're just kind
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: of suburban Americans.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Even I have like you haven't seen it yet because
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: I haven't gotten turned up with you. Actually, I don't
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: even even if I've ever had a drink. Next to you.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: You're not about to tell me that you have an
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: accent I do?
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: If I get yes, I do, I have, like a
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: southern accent comes out when, especially if I have a
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: couple of drinks, because all of a sudden, I'm just
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: loose and my mouth just gets a little slow, and
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden things will come out. I know,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: it's all right, alright, alright, but I have family. All
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: my family roots to southern So it's like I have
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: family that's up in Alabama and up in the Panhandle,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: and then my other family's out in like the rural
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: part of North Carolina. So if I hang out with
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: them too long, all of a sudden I come back
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, especially, give me two glasses of wine.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: All of a sudden, I'm just I'm chilling.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: I know, I can't wait to see you a little
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: espresso martini drunk at boulan Ah.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: That will be something.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: If you guys have been keeping up. Scotty is going
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: to take me to run Club, and I'm gonna take
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: him to Bulan.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: We're gonna do the idea. And this is what I
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: was telling on a date. Last name, and this is Ilse.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: You know, I want to branch out from my norm
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: and so typically my week would be the show working
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: out the grocery store and that's pretty much it. But
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: this time I'm like, no, we're saying yes to life.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: We're gonna go to check out new bars. We're gonna
• 12:18

• 12:19
  Speaker 2: and check out the Drum Circle on Treasure Island. We're
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: gonna go to the Cold Tub DJ set on a
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Sunday morning at one of these coffee shops. Just all
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: these weird things that you see on Instagram that you're like,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: you know what, I'm gonna give it a shot. I
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: just want to see because I find that life gets
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: so interesting when you're just like, let me just see
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: what happens. And I think that's what's gonna happen at Boulon,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: and I think that's what's gonna happen at run Club.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: I think you're gonna thrive at Bulon bool On if
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: you again are your tunning and you're like, I don't
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: even know what is this Bulon that keep talking about.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Bulan is a very facy French restaurant in downtown Tampa.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: It's known as Influencer Central. If you say you like
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Bulan's kind of like, oh, you're not real, Tampa, You're
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: just a transplant.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: H Yeah, that's one of those places.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: But you love to gab, and I feel like Bulon
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: is the place where you gab.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: I like gabbing, but I also sometimes have a problem
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: with like two surface level of gabbing and I could
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: do it really well where it's like, oh my gosh,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: let's talk about what you do for work and where
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: you grew up and what. But I love an opportunity
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: to sit down and go deep, like literally, even yesterday,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: the person I was having a drink with I was
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: talking and I was like, you know what, I can
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: we just have a real conversation, like let's just let's
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: talk deep for a second, Like let me just take
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: it to the next level.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Say.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: She's like, whoa, that was a deep question. But then
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: she said I like deep questions and so she kept
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: it at that. It was a good night. But that's
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: the only fear of what it would be like to
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: go to one of these bars, like is it loud?
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Is their music it's.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Loud and it's very boisterous. I mean, you're gonna make
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: a lot of small talk. But I think conversation is
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: good to be as deep as you want them to be.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Because I've gone a lot of great networking events, but
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: like usually they don't turn into anything. They're kind of
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: just there, a nice conversation, maybe an Instagram follow, but
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: I've gotten a lot better of that. Like I like,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: when I go out, at least, I'm gonna make sure
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: that we connect somewhere online where we could benefit each other,
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: where I could comment on your stuff, you could comment
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: on mine, we can feed each other's businesses together. Hopefully
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: they're like that at Bulan. I don't know.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: We're gonna find out together.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Scotty, Okay, I'm in. What are the other impressions though?
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Of Tampa? So you love that? It's obviously beautiful.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Let me pull up my list. So yeah, it's really beautiful.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I have been taking my nightly walks on Bay Shore.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: People know I love a nightly walk. I used to
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: do it at Chastein Park in Atlanta all the time.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Chastein Park is maybe not the equivalent to Bay Shor,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: but it's very Bay Shore adjacent. It's a little bit
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: more suburban, a little bit more of a mom and
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: girly pop vibe, whereas maybe the Beltline is more of
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: the Bay Shore equivalent for Tampa and Atlanta. But yeah,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I love I love a promenade.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Oh and there's so much one if you love to
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: people watch. There's a ton of people out on this
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: beautiful walkway. And I don't know how far you walk,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: but that goes a long way.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: I've been walking a long time. Oh good, you get
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: no steps in I'm on Davis Island, so I have
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: to leave Davis Islands, go over the bridge and then
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: walk on Bay Shore.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: How far do you walk? How what are your steps?
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Do you have an average step count to day?
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Well, let's see what I did. So I did maybe
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: an hour and a half yesterday.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: That's pretty damn good.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: And let's see how many steps I took. So I
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: took yesterday fourteen thousand steps. That's not even that much.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: That's pretty dang good though.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I took fourteen thousand steps. And it was really
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: beautiful out and then it got kind of stormy looking,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: so I ran back home. Okay, So my other first
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: impressions based off the TikTok that I posted, So men
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: own shirts here. It's a lot of naked people watch.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: But do you like that? Duh? Okay, Well, I'm just
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: checking because sometimes it could be too much. But if
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: you're like, you know, especially when I go out with
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: my friends that they love themselves, the men's my gay friends.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: When I go out running with them and they're like,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: they call it a treat. It's their treat for doing
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: like exercise.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: It is a treat. I will say. It does. It
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: does make go don't walk a little bit more bearable.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: As the great philosopher Mary Poppins One said, a spoonful
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: of sugar helps the medicine go down.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, So these men are doing the lord's
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: work out here for your walks.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: I think you for my medicine.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: There it is.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: It's telling me forget that I'm in Tampa. Well, I'm
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: telling you there's.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: A lot of good looking dudes over here.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: But I will say a lot of them wear My
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: second thing was that they wear flat bill hats.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: You know, like that that's like a running hat.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: It's a very specific South Florida esque style. I think
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: that's what it reminds me of. When I see a
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: guy wearing a flat bill hat, it feels very New York,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: very oh.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Because there's two different styles.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: It feels douchey to me.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Is it like the flat bill like a runner's cap,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: or is it like like a New York Yankees flat bill.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: I'm out at shortstop flat.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Bill, so not not a traditional baseball cap.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: That's it's such a Tampa.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: It just feels very douchey to me. I'm not saying
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: all guys who wear flatbell hats are douchey.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying I feel, Okay, it gives douche No,
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: it does, because I literally feel like that if I
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: wear a hat, I have this thing where I feel
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: like I have an alter ego that could become.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Like a douche You become Tampa Terrence.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Oh what a sentence.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: But if like I have Scotti literally Scott, but I
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: could look.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm curious of your first impression of
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: me looking at me. Now you've kind of started to
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: get an idea of me.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: You're more Saint Pete than you are Tampa.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Very much so. But if I put a hat on backwards,
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: I become If you didn't hear me talk or you
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: didn't see my personality, I look like the DOUCHEI ist dude.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: And that's why I don't do it, because I'm like, Okay,
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: that gives off the wrong impression.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: It gives douche, and I think that's my overall.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: It's giving douche's.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Shiving douche and not in a fun way. And I
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: think that's why when I see them, I see a
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: lot of Tampa guys that I've had really bad experiences
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: with that they're all the flat bill hat, plane T shirt,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: gold chain vibes that I'm.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Literally wearing that exactly right.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Now doesn't And you live in Saint Pete, so it
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: doesn't add up.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I don't wear the flat bill, but I
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: do understand there's a lot of guys that do it.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: And I go to do it, and I'm like, I
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: don't like the way I look right now. I look
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: very douchey.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Let me change back into my Saint Pete uniform. Yeah, Like,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: let me put it on the Saint Pete uniform.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: It would be more of a like a flowy shirt,
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: probably like I don't usually do a size extra, like
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: bigger than I am, but probably a little bigger. And
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: then you know, some relaxing pants. It's very chill. It's
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: kind of like hippie beach.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Hippy beach.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I mean, but you could still have your
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: nice night out, Like if you go out on Central
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: on a Friday night, like there's a blend of like
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: people that are just casually that's me T shirt and pants,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: or they'll be you know, women dress it up and
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: you're like, okay, y'all came out dressed too impressed. Yeah,
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: you're ready to hit the club. And we only got
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: a couple in Saint Pete, so we know when you're
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: going to.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Okay, So my next thing, big fitness culture. I already
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: kind of went over that. Easier to navigate Tampa. I
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: never have to use my GPS. I know exactly where
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: I'm going all the time.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: That's pretty impressive, even with all the new spots that
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: you've already had it like routed out, Like even well,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Tampa's different. Have you figured out Saint Pete yet?
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: I I feel like it's even easier because it's just
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Fourth Street, Central Street, Gandy Selman and then the other
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: one that's exactly right, Okay, big gas bridge. I saw
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: a big bridge Franklin. Yeah, yeah, Howard Franklin, Yeah yeah,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: those ones. What about so Tampa. You could drive around
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: anyway too. You haven't gone into like deep Tampa though,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: You've just you've done downtown Tampa. But have you done like, well, yeah,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about Tampa proper. Whereas when I think of
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: anything outside of Tampa proper, I would call that Wesley Chapel,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Plant City, Lithia, Brandon, Bradington, all of those, Like That's
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: how I would identify them to me. That's not Tampa.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: Have you been to like the USF campus.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I have not been to the USF campus.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: You got to check out the USF campus. Have you
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: walked through the UT campus.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: I have walked. That's where my brother proposed to his girlfriend.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Oh well then that makes a lot of sense. But
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: the USF campus is something to see, especially because now
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: you're here, you might as well take a look. But
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: then you're like, oh, this is not you li, I
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: know how you all Gators are where it's like everything's
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: just not as good as you. I get it. You
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: know what some of us think get in?
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Okay, a lot of people didn't get in. What do
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: you think?
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, this is a tangent, but what do you think
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: was how? I don't know how you were in high school.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: But what do you think got you in the UF,
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: because that was very hard to get in.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: It was, but it got even harder, and I think
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: FSU got harder to get in because when I when
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: we were applying for school, it was everybody who was
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: academically inclined wanted to go to Florida.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I was really good academically, I.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Know, but you had to do a lot of random shit,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: and I did a lot of random shit. I was
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: the midst of my high school. So I won that
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: whole pageant I told you about. I started a club.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: I was the co captain of my cheerleading team. For club?
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Did you start?
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: I started some I was gonna be like a missions club.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: It was not, well you go do missions.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: It was gonna be go make a difference, and we
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: were gonna like do shit, and then we never did anything.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: So wait a second. So you got accepted in the
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: UF for a club that you founded that you didn't
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: do anything with that club?
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Well, no, I like held meetings and stuff, but I
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: wasn't very good at it.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Now it actually is. I mean that's what they're looking
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: for though, that you took the initiative to at least try. Yeah,
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: and no matter what happens, it's like, oh, that person
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: is a go getter, Yes, we want them at our campus.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: I was editor of my yearbook, like I did everything. Okay,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: I was an anchor for TV production. I did. I
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: did everything.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: What was your GPA?
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Four point three?
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Geez Louise? Okay, all right, it makes sense.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: But I also had no life, Like I was also
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: a miserable person in high school.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: But then that's what made you thrive in college.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: To be fair, I knew that I needed to sacrifice
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: high school in order to enjoy college more.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Was it always UF? Was that always the vision?
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: No? So my freshman year I didn't even want to
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: go to UF. Freshman year of high school, I was like,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: I do I don't want to go to UF. And
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: I think it was a little bit because that's where
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: my whole family went and my family and when I
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: say my family, I mean my own. It was sort
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: of like you go to UF, or that's it, Like
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: that's what I was raised, Like that's why I was raised,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Like that's where you're going to school. Yeah, And I
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: think that really bothered me to the sense where I'm
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: like it feels like I've lost my sense of autonomy,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: my sense of choice to where if I want to
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: be a C student and go to Auburn, I think
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: I should be able to make that choice. Like that's
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: what really bothered me. I'm like, I don't want to
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: just go to the school because that's where I was
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: told to go or the family went. And then my
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: sophomore year summer, I don't know what happened, and weirdly
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: I attribute it to this life changing week and it
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: sounds so dumb. So she's like, what did you do?
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: So there were two weeks my my sophomore year of
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: high school. It was freshman year going into sophomore year,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: and it was one of those summers where your brain
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: just developed sort overnight. You ever have those moments where
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: you wake up and you're like, I see the world a.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Little yeahs are a little clear. Okay.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: So I went on this missions trip with my church
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: and I remember thinking this is going to be the
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: trip that changes my life, and I'm going to make
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: a difference and it's going to really just totally send
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: me on a different path. Long story short, didn't just
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: too just took a lot of photos with starving kids,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: just you know, just the the white Savior missionary complex.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: That's what it was. Some good stuff. I'm not saying
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: we didn't do good work. Course, So anyway, I did that.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: And then the next week my family went on this
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: week long cruise. And it was on this week long
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: cruise that I made all these incredible friends. I had
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: a little cruise romance. I had a cruise boyfriend, a
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: cruise cruise boyfriend. What was their name, Liam. I was
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: from Atlanta. He was a rich, private school kid, perfect,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: and it just it. I just feel like it gave
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: me self confidence because I had such low self esteem.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: I wasn't a good student, I didn't feel like I
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: was well liked all the things. And then I went
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: on this cruise and I was the popular girl, and
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: for some reason, it just made me. It gave me
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: enough self confidence to think, oh, I could go back
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: to my high school with this same energy, and maybe
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be mispopular or whatever, but like, clearly
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: I have something that people think is worth worth getting
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: to know. And it just gave me enough chutzpah to
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: kind of get to kind of get my shit together.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: And then it was that, and then I think my
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: first week of sophomore year, I got like one hundred
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: on a math test. I was always bad at math,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: and because I got that one hundred, I thought maybe
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: I can be good at math. And then I went
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: from a C student to an A plus student.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, all because of that one trip.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I just decided I'm gonna go. It's just
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: something switched to my brain. I was like, I'm gonna
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: go to Florida.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: That's a really I think what's cool is like, I
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: feel like you just started giving yourself credit where credit
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: was due.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Well, I just I just had very low self esteem,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: which is a you know, that's a whole story for
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: a therapist or something. But I think it goes to
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: show that positive reinforcement is so much more productive than
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: telling yourself what's wrong with you or you know, pointing
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: out your flaws or being critical of yourself, which I
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: think can sometimes be like the go to way to
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: try and get somebody on the right path. But really
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: it was just showing myself that I could be something
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: other than what I was.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Dang. So there's no regrets for going to that campus,
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: to taking your college career to UF.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: No, I mean, I don't know where I would have gone.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: I think my only regret was I think no, because
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: I would have gone to Florida. No matter what, if
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: I had gotten into Florida, I was going into Florida.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Where else did you apply?
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: My backup was South Carolina, which would have been fine.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: I probably would have really liked South Carolina. And I
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: don't know why I didn't apply to UGA. We were
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: such big Florida fans that I was just like, I'm
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: not applying to you.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, isn't that crazy? You grow up with this
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: rivalry in your mind that you're like I could never
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: Like I was applying for f SU, and I was like, no, no,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: I'm not even gonna finish it. I didn't even do
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: the Like it was halfway through. I think I'm so
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: paid for it, but I only completed half of it.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I didnt apply to FSU.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: So yeah, because it's the rivalry that we're born thinking
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: and then we're like, wait a second, that could be
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: my own experience. I could have my own path that's
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: actually carved in now at UF, Like what was like
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: for me? Was there a what was the most beneficial
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: thing that you did in college that you think either
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: launched you, protected you served you. Because when I think
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: of my collegiate experience, I did a bunch of things.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: I mean I was in Greek and then I was
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: an orientation and I worked for the office and I
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: went for student Body. But my time as an orientation
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: leader that's why I'm here. Like that one moment ended
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: up turning into a couple of years. But me taking
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: that chance that was was like, wait a second, I
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: think I know what I'm gonna do with my life. Yeah,
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: it launched me. What was the thing for you?
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Well, I think that's why going to Florida was so
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: important and why I didn't apply to FSU because FSU
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: didn't have a broadcast journalism program.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: So gone done?
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: What you know what I mean, don't they have a circus?
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: I think, yeah, joined the circus.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Give bride an elephant juggle, I don't know. That's the
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: only thing I remember about that campus. I was like, yes,
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: I have a circus on campus. Okay, that's okay.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: So it was so important to go to a school
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: that had a big journalism program, and uf did, which
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: is why I was like, well, I have to go
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: to Florida. Otherwise I'm going to spend three hundred thousand
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: dollars to go to South Carolina for a broadcast journalism program.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Oh so for.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Me, really, I guess it was just joining the radio
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: station because that's what kept me in the broadcast journalism
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: school and then the Innovation News Center, which was all
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: like the journalism stuff at Florida.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: You were doing that right away, Like did you walk
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: in on campus and you go like right to the
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: radio station. No.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: I was also kind of a school loser my first
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: year because I'd worked, because I'd worked so hard for
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: three years, so I was like, I'm so sick of this.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: Yoh yeah.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: I was like I want to have a social life.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: All.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: All I wanted to do my freshman year was be
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: a sorority girl. And that's pretty much what I did
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: was just pretend to go to class and then go to.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: The house and then just go party on the weekends. Yeah.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it wasn't a fun year. Like that sounds like
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: a great time, twas not fun?
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: I was like it does. I mean I had some
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: great freshman year, especially like going out to parties, passing
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: on the lawns.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: But I didn't even party. That's the funny thing. Like
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to be a sorority girl.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Oh you just wanted the letters.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to be in a club.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well it makes sense though if you're talking about
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: like I want to feel like that's why it's there. Yeah,
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: you want to have a group of friends. You want
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: to have a group, you want to be able to
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: feel like you fit in. Great place to do it
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: is go to Greek exactly. It's literally what you're paying
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: to do, be a part of a group. I did
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: it too, because I was like, oh, these guys are cool.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: I like friends. It is nice to feel appreciated, and
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: so that's what we did. And then immediately after I
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: was like, well I should probably expand my horizons because
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: this is we're doing the same things every weekend guys. Yeah.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: Well yeah, it's a couple of years of fun. And
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: then it's like, wait, you should probably get my shit together.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: I should probably do something with my life. I should
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: probably start looking for a career because it took like
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: three years to even like I didn't know I wanted
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: to do radio until like three years, and I was like, oh,
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: that makes more sense.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: I don't think anybody knows at our age that.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: They want to do radio, well, definitely nobody supported it.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: No, I didn't support it either, Like I don't know,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: like what made you think that radio would be viable?
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: I just wanted to go. This is literally I do
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: this whole summitar called Dare to Dream, and it's because
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: of this moment. It's because it's the thing that lit
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: me up the most. So I didn't know what it
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: was going to turn into. But I do have this
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: belief that if you're as passionate for something as I
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: felt for that moment, that nothing could stop you, that
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: the sky is truly the limit, like you could go
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: as far as possible. So when I was going for radio,
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: it's like, literally, nothing feels as good as doing the show.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: I was doing a show on campus with my best friend,
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: and I'd put more time into just editing audio and
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: bringing in interviews, talking to maybe one hundred people. Maybe
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: it was the biggest show on campus, so it's pretty good.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: But I was like, nothing felt that good. So it
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: has to pay off someway. I don't know how, I
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: don't know where, I don't know when, But you can't
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: be this passionate and this driven to do something and
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: it not work in your favor, you will find a
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: route and maybe it doesn't look exactly like I thought.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: But I think what I have had to come to
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: realize is it didn't need to be radio. It just
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: needed to be my voice. It needed to be a microphone,
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: it needed to be a stage, because that is what
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: I continued to chase. I got into radio, and as
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: I was doing it, everyone's like, Bro, you're gonna make
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: You're gonna make money on radio. I was like, yo,
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: just could you give me a second and let me
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: show you what's possible.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Let me cook.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like give me his little site. And then it
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: started to happen, and then I was like, oh, he's
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: got a contract. I was like, I told you, Oh
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: he's now hosting, and I told you, And then it's
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: just so far that has only gotten me farther that
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: same passion. So nobody thought I was a good idea,
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: but I always knew that it would pay off.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: I didn't think it was a good idea.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: So why'd you stay with it?
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Well? I think I got a job offer to go
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: work for Cox and Jacks, and I was decided between
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: whether I was going to do that or go be
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: an anchor and Shreveport. And I was like, ugh, Louisiana,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: but all.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: The anchor jobs are tough. Too many friends that are
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: in the news. I'm like all the because like side
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: note when you're doing the news, this is what I
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: didn't want to do. From what I've seen, you bounce everywhere.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: You do one year in Louisiana and then you got
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: to do another year in South Carolina, then maybe you
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: go over to Illinois, then maybe you finally end up
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: in Orlando, then maybe you go to Tampa. Like you
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: got to do so much. And I was so grateful
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: with that. Right here across the bridge, I was like, oh,
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: that's a big ass radio station. I'll go throw my application. Yeah,
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: oh here we are. So I haven't had to do that,
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: and I don't plan on doing that. I don't want
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: to do that.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: May you skip the line.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: That's exactly right.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: That's kind kind of how I felt. Whereas Jacksonville's down
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: a big market, but a lot of my friends were
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: going to market one twenty one, yeah, which is you know, Paducah,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Kentucky or something, And I thought, well, if I'm jumping
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: all the way to market, forty and I can just
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: stay here for a couple of years and then figure
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: it out. I'll figure it out. But I also I
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: did the news program at Florida, and I would write
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: my scripts for whatever newscast I was doing, and I
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: found myself writing it like the weekend updates, oh yea yeah,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: where I would add a punchline at the end, and
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: I thought, you can't you literally can't do that. This
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: is the news. And so I thought, well, radio will
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: let me talk about anything m And that's how I
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: ended up here.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: And then it just from that job, it just continued
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: to grow because that's when there's Jackson Atlanta, then here excellent.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I was like, I want to make sex jokes
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: on them.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: On the air, where yeah, it wouldn't make sense for
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: to be in the news. And I say that as
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: somebody that's also said it to myself, because when I
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: wanted to do radio, literally my grandma would question me
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: why I didn't want to be a reporter. My dad
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: would ask me constantly why I didn't want to do
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: the news. I was like, guys, I can't sit there
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: and read a tell a prompter about the most depressing
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: shit that ever happens that is not who I am.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: I will find a way in radio, just give me
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: a second, and if it's not radio, it would radio
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: will help it get to something else. But I don't
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: think I could do that on the news unless it's
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: like right now, like I do, like a streaming news
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: show where it's like, oh, we talk about funny viral videos.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Way more me.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: I could be the personality and still be entertaining, but
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: not somebody that's like, well there's a house fire and
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: these people were seriously hurt, seriously injured health. No, it
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: seems so depressing. And the hours, I mean, that's like,
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: these hours are ridiculous. But I have a good friend
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: that's a works for a news station here and he
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: wakes up at one.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: Am because you have to do the full beat, hair, makeup, out,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: then you have to prepare your script, whereas here you
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: just kind of come in. You don't wing it. No,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: but your job is personality, and you don't need to
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: wake up three hours before the show to get a personality, which.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: Some people do. I mean, there are some shows, but
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: I always thought, you know, if I can't be my
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: healthiest self, then I can't be my best self. To
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: actually bring the best forward the actual rand.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: I totally agree.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: M M. So I'd rather be a little bit more
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: flexible with Okay, maybe I'm not the most prepped, but
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: I'm the healthiest. I will last the longest in all context.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: And as other people are running themselves literally into the ground,
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: well then we have energy to go do things and
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: create more, to live a life, to live a life,
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: which is literally your job is to live a life.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't have gone on Sunday if I was exhausted
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: from the week. See, I'd be like, I can't go
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: meet you get.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Paid to party. And that all comes back to what
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: it's like to be an influencer. So technically you are
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: an infl.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: So how do we even get down this route? So anyway,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: I don't really consider myself an influencer. What was I
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Where were we going with.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: That tangent about the college?
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: No, not about college, as I said, something about influencing.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: Oh the difference between going out to lunch with people
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: who slide into your DMS as a woman versus a man.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: Oh like, if we're talking about, like, yes, meeting people
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: at Bulan.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Especially in the influencer space, this is influencing can be
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: very social climby. So I'm very sometimes wary of other
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: people who want to be influencers when they want to
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: be friendly. Not in the sense that I like immediately
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: clock them, it's there's some kind of social climber, but
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: it's something I take note of for sure.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, which I feel like somebody who's like wanting to
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: just use you, yeah, for like what you have. I'm like, okay,
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: I'd rather have a connection with you, and it's genuine
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: versus like what you're just gonna use what I've built
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: to help launch you?
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, which under I mean, do I totally get it,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: Like I literally understand why someone would do that, But
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: I think I am naturally very cynical, and so I
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: think I do get a little bit cynical in those
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: moments where it does feel a little social climby. Sometimes
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: not saying I'm some big wig influence sir, but I
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: definitely see it from time to time, And sometimes I
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: notice that it's not even the people that are already influencing,
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: but it's the people who maybe even subconsciously don't know
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: it themselves. Oh yeah, I want to be friends with
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: you because they want.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: To be you, yeah, And I think it's if it's
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: gonna be that relationship, it has to be a two
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: way street. It can't just be like I guess you're
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: just gonna that's the term parasitic of like social Well
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: I was just thinking, like a parasite, Oh yeah, parasitic
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: is the right one. Yeah, where someone is just like
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: I just don't want to get as much as I
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: can from you, And I'm like I get that, Like
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: if we're two collaborators and we want to come and
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: build something together, well you need to be able to
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: provide me something that's gonna give me and I could
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: provide you something versus like if you just want to
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: get together, which I'm curious if you had anybody reach
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: out since you've been here yet, whether it's in the
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: influencing world or the media world, because what I've noticed
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: is a lot of people want to sit down and
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: have a conversation. But I always like to look at
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: those moments of like, well, what are you bringing to
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: the table. I love being able to be a mentor,
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Like if you're trying to get into the space, I
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: would love to be able to help you. But if
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: you're just somebody else in the industry. I'm like, well,
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: what do you You can't just take from what I
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: have built. You have to be able to bring something
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: to also help me. That's symbiotic. That's what I'm going for.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I haven't gotten any of those messages in Tampa.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: If anything, it's more genuine because it's like people from
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: your past.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're actually just like, oh my god, I could
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: use friends.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: And I know, if anything, I should be less bothered
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: by this. I was like, Oh, I'm like, ah, this
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: person haven't seen since middle school wants to hang out.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: That's so sweet. Instead, I'm like, what do you want?
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: I mean. It's so tough though, because then you do
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: it and you actually get together and you're like, sometimes,
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: oh this is hmmm. I feel like a lot of
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: people could relate to this, though. It's like it's almost
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: better to just live in that fantasy of like what was,
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: because when you get together with them again, you realize
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: it's like, oh my god, we have nothing here, we're
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: not connected, We're totally different people, completely different. And then
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: it's like that the last memory we want, like or
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: do we just live in that fantasy and we'll just
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: always say when we're out we need to catch up,
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: and we never do, but we still have the good
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: memories of when we're in high school together. Like I'd
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: almost rather live there because then you sit down with somebody.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: I remember I did this a friend once and like
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: finally made time and we got a drink together, and
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: I remember sitting there, I was like, I think he
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: hates me, and I don't think he does now because
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: it's been some months time, because it's just the conversation sucked.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: It like didn't go anywhere. I felt like I was
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: throwing any question out there. Obviously I could yap and nothing.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Maybe that was the problem. You were yapping too much,
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: But then I would let it sit and how long
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: could we sit in the silence? I'm like, all right,
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know if we're we are casual friends, but
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: I don't think we're go out friends. I don't think
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: we'll go have a drink and have dinner alone. Friends.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: Maybe in a group setting friends, but not solo friends.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: Friends.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: That's right, you have to have a group setting friends.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: I like a group setting friend people that you could
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: see in the group. You'll get together and it's a
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: great time, but you necessarily you wouldn't go to brunch
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: with them, or at least I won. And I'm not
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: good at that. I'm not not everybody gets my brunch time.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: They really don't because not everyone has that same like.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Eight eighties, get your brunch time.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: I haven't gotten on any brunch dates yet. That that's
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: a big commitment. I like a good like drink right now,
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: and first.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: Comes love, then comes marriage, then comes brunch, and.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: Then comes brunch. Then we'll go and get some hash
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: Browns and maybe a bagel on some blocks. Not a
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: waffle house, So you don't like I do not like
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: waffle house. Waffle House is actually and we'll finish on this.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: I think it's an overrated restaurant that people talk about
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: a lot when they're here, especially if like it's a
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: Sunday morning they went on all Saturday.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Like gotta get a waffle Just imagine how it isn't
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: Atlanta huge. Okay, let me finish up this list and
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: then we can close out the pod because we have
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: our meeting. Oh my god, yes, okay, big fitness culture
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: easier to navigate. Love that next one? Next one like
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: is that it traffic. I've almost run out of gas
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: so many times on the Harrison Franklin.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: Bridge with Harrison Franklin. Howard Franklin.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Hella Bridges, Hella Bridge is here.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: Well, you drive that bridge every day and it's unexpectedly big.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: I told somebody. Yes, I was like, that's not in
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: a good one, that's pleasant surprise.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: These are two things I did want to talk about.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: So I've had two very uncomfortable experiences, which you were
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: privy to. One of them. Remember when we went when
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: we went to go get the flowers at Public's, oh
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Man hit on me. Yeah, while I was wearing that sweatshirt,
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: and I was like, Oh, that's like so weird and random.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: Why would he say that? But whatever, I guess we're
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: just in a weird part of Tampa. I went to
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: the Bay Shore Publics wearing a pair of alo shorts
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: at a tank top and I was getting my question chips,
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: and this old man sneaks up behind me. Oh no,
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: and he goes something along the lines of you make
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: me feel like I'm overdressed here, and I go okay.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: I just didn't know how to respond. I was like,
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: what do I say.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: Back, sir? Why because I'm underdressed? Are you saying that?
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: I look good or are you trying to hit on me?
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: It was just a weird because it was kind of
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: the same thing with the first old man who just
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: made a comment about my sweatshirt and said this cowboy
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: don't lax at a sweatshirt, that cowboys lie on it.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: And it was just kind of a weird moment, like.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: Sir, you were literally twice my age, Like, let's let's
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: go down.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: So now I'm scared to go back to publics because
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: it's not that it two times is a lot, but
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: two times in.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: A week is like, actually, I've kind of capped out
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: on how many times I could get hit on by
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: an old man.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm actually horrified.
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: I think that's why you gotta go to Trader Joe's
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: much more.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: I feel like, no, no, And ever time I go
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: to Trader Joe's, I feel like I need to go
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: to publics after.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: What, No, you get every okay, what are you getting
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: the public so they can't get a Trader Joe's jo Banni.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: They don't have Chobanni there. You can't just switch your
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: yoga brand.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: No, there's a reason I have the same I had
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: the same breakfast every single day for the last two years.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: It's the Chobani twenty grams of protein, zero added sugar mango.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: I know that's a free ad.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: Everyone, go ahead and click that and put in promo
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: code Abby's promo code.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: Abby's got a good Gut, Healthy gut biome healthy microbios
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: at abby dot com. And then the last one on
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: my unexpected Tampa list is the Saint Pete versus Tampa rivalry.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: But you're only going to hear people in Saint Pete
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: talk about it.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: Dang, are you saying that we're more obsessed with it
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: than they are?
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: No, but I think you have a right to be
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: like you'll never hear people in Tampa compare Tampa to
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: Saint Pete, but you will always hear people in Saint
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: Pete compare to Saint Pete to Tampa because there's more
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: to do in Saint Pete.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: That's exactly right. I think most people moved from Tampa
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: here where you're not moving the other way. Yes, uh huh,
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: you don't go back over the bridge. I'm sorry to.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: Tampa, but it's funny. A lot of people move to
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: Tampa thinking they thinking that Saint Pete is Tampa, but
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: they look at Tampa and they're like, oh, the beach
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: is actually an hour away.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, You're like, actually, not in the part of town
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: that you're really excited to be a part of. Because
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: usually when you visit, and this is how it goes down,
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: you'll meet a lot of people that move here. You
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: visit a friend that lives in Saint Pete and you're like,
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: oh my god, I love Tampa. Yeah, and then you
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: go to Tampa like this is not what I was promised.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: Tampa is not Saint Pete.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: And that's why everybody from Tampa ends up going over
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: that bridge, and that's why it's literally like a portal
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: on the bridge. As soon as you cross it, you're like, oh,
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: this is nice.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: It is totally different.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: Very different vibe. I like Tampa. If it's a random
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: one night out and I'm like, let's go see a
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: different scene, catch a lightning game, go get a drink
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: at a random bar by the water. Awesome. Love walking
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: Bay short, love it. But you catch me out. Most
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: of the time, it's gonna be downtown Saint Pete. I
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: like a good chill, loving hippie vibe.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: Hipp vibe it's giving hippie.
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't like douchey. I like hippie.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: Tampa's douche sat Pete's hippie.
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: And that's exactly why. Eventually they're gonna move across that bridge.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna jump in the bay.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: Just swim across. All right, Well that's all we got
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: for today. We'll continue putting these things up as things
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: happen in life, and I believe we have something big happening.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: Oh tonight, okay, so tonight you're gonna go see weather
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: in highschoo h.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: I'm seeing Weathering Heights tonight with my future sister in
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: law at Senate B Street.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: Oh so that's a new spot. You haven't been there yet.
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: They got good food, I know. So I want to
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: hear that update tomorrow because I want to go see
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: that movie. But I also don't know if it's appropriate.
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: It's just like a single man to go see that movie.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: It's like you going to see inside Out or something
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: in the back and Yeah, I'm like, like, why is
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: this man here?
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: Why is random? He's not even with somebody?
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: Do you want to just come with me and my
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: sister in law?
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: I think I'm going to Andre.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: Oh I forgot you. Yes, just like two pm when
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: no one's there.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: But that's gonna be like literally probably where I'm sitting
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: next to, like I don't know, a bunch of different couples,
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: a girl group, wait, our kids allowed in that movie.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: I was like, gosh, I don't know if that's from
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: what I've heard, it's not a proverse.
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: Do you feel that as a man you can't go
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: to certain places because you think it's gonna come off
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: as creepy? Absolutely, because I would feel creepy. Yeah, but
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: it's not.
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: It doesn't help because that's literally I want to go
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: see this movie, but I'm like, what, I guess I
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: will go alone. I want to see to like be
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: able to talk about it.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: Go with your roommate.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: I said that to him, But then that also feels
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: weird because it's like, what are we both watching a
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: sex movie together? Like this is awkward.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: It's not a sex movie.
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: See, that's everyone saying. I saw a video of a
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: girl that you know her man put his hand over
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: her eyes and she couldn't get enough, and so she
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: lifted his hand to keep watching because it's that dirty.
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: That's what i've That's what the TikTok says.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: You and your roommate should just turn on a different
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: website together.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: Well, if I see weather in Heights, then we could
• 44:07
