  Speaker 2: Hi, kidlets.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: It's me, James LaGinia, here at JLJ Media, and this
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: is a Daytime Emmy Special. And I always tell you,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: I keep you abreast of what's going on every step
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: of the way on our journey to the Daytime Emmys.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: As you know, last year, we were invited back after
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: several years not being there, and then I couldn't go
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: because I got sick. But anyway, so we applied again
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: this year, a while back, and people have been asking
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: us and asking us, have we heard anything? Well, up
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: until yesterday, no, we hadn't heard anything yet. The Emmys
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: have been really tight-lipped so far in terms of we
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: don't know if there's a host happening this year, what
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the lineup is going to be.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: We know nothing. We just know about the dates.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: We know where it's going to be at the Palladium
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: here in Hollywood. They just announced the gold and silver
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: circle award winners, including Pachika Darbo.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: I love Pachika. That's my girl. Well-deserved. But we got
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: an email.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you. It's from the PR agency
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: that's handling this. Good afternoon. It's a BCC, so blind cast.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Everybody got one. I don't tell you more.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: I got one.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Everybody who applied got one. Good afternoon. Thank you for
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: applying for a credential for the 53rd Annual Daytime Emmy
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Awards coming up on October 30th. You have folks who'd
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: like to give a couple weeks. We wanted to inform
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: that we've received your applications. We're finalizing the logistics for
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: the red carpet and reviewing all applications now. So we'll
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: be in touch with final updates and confirmation soon. Please
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: let us know if you have any questions or anything
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: else for the moment. Thank you so much. The person
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: who sent it, I know personally, so I just kind
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: of sent back a, like, hi, how are you? I
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: hope everything's fine. I hope to see you there. So
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: we got the thing. We got an email about the
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: confirmation that they got our application. Now, we applied, I
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: think it was months ago. So as soon as I
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: got that thing, from Tony Moore. He passed it on
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: to me. So again, we have no idea. I have
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: a suit. I'm not going to show it to you
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: I'm going to wait.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I got to try it on first, see if it
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: still fits. And then I'm going to get dry clean.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: It's 15 days from now. It is coming up as
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I record this. So folks, yes, it's coming soon. We
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: got a little inkling. At first I was like, oh
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: my God, I saw the email. I just, I heart
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: dropped for a second, like, oh my God. But here's,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say this. I'm in a different space
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: than I was last year, the past couple of years
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: when it comes to the Emmys. And I know a
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: lot of behind the scenes, which we share out here
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: with you guys sometimes. And as you can see, it's
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the daytime Emmys are treated so like, Again, we don't
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: even know a host. The Pride celebrities we knew was
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Mariska Hargitay. We knew, what, months ago?
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Like, all this stuff. The dates of the Emmys have
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: been reduced.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I heard somewhere they were going to be on, I guess,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the Emmys.tv, streaming there.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: It might stream also on YouTube. But again, we don't
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: know hosts or host.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: It's just like, usually when you produce the award shows,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: as you guys know, a lot of information is out there.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: You know stuff. And in this case, we don't know anything.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: But that is kind of par for the course. Every year,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: we usually file for the last minute. I'm very fortunate.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: I live in LA.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: So they can tell me the day before, and I
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: can show up. I feel bad for the folks who
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: don't live in Los Angeles and that are planning tickets,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: planning plane tickets, train tickets, driving, hotel rooms.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Do that last minute. A lot of times it's, well,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: sometimes you get good deals last minute. Sometimes.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: But sometimes you don't. So I feel bad for them.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: But for me, I get to, I'm here.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: I live here. I just get dressed. They can tell
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: me the day of.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, okay, I'll make sure I get the
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: day clear and just go. So I feel bad for
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the others who don't have that same option. But, again,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: we're going to keep you posted. I told you, we'll
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: keep you posted on what's going on and if we
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: get in or not. And, again, like I said, my
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: professional life is going very well right now. JLG Media
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: is doing very well right now. We're having some really
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: great growth spurts. And I'm learning that at this point now,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: it's not personal on some level if we don't get in.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: That it's, I don't think it's, I don't think the
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: behind the scenes is as organized.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: As it used to be. And I think the care
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: is different also.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I'd like to think after all these years being in business,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: we'll be considered one of the premier ones along with
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: some of the others out there. In terms of soaps,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about in terms of daytime and soap opera,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: we cover so much here. But I think in some eyes,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: we're just not viewed that way. And whatever, I don't, I...
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: We can't do any more than that. I get good audiences.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I get good responses. But don't worry. If we don't
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: get in, I have some secondary, I have some backup plans.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: We're going to give you some Daytime Emmy 2026 material.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Don't worry.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: We're going to work something out. So either way, we're
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: going to work something out for you. And of course,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: we're going to do our show.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Hello.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I believe it's going to be that Sunday, November 1st.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I got to double check with my people. Jerry Waggett,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Walker Ragsdale, Candice Mack, and myself. What's funny is Jerry,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the only one who doesn't live here, won't be here
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: for the Emmys, but Walker and Candice will be in town.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: So I was like, I wish we're all fours for here.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: We can get together and do something in person. But
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: we'll get a show out to you, whether it's that
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Sunday or that Monday. We'll get a show for you.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I know you can't wait. I'm still going to watch
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: them no matter what. But I'm just letting you guys
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: know I have some contingency plans just in case in
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the background. But I want to thank you guys because
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: recently you have been listening and watching these episodes. I
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: guess we've been close to the Emmys. The numbers have
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: been amazing. I look at the numbers every day and
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I just want to thank you personally. Especially the audio listeners.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: We are on audio so you can listen to us
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: on audio. But thank you so much for listening and
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: And I have some episodes planned throughout the year that
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: are Emmy-related. I'm trying to continue doing that also. So
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: we're going to continue doing this. Yes, there are a
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: couple episodes promised to you. One, there was a time
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: change thing at the last minute, so a couple interviews
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: didn't happen. But we're going to work it out. As
