• 5:28
  Speaker 1: That's the second time you've almost hit me.
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: Throw.

• 5:35
  Speaker 2: if Penny wants to do the whole throwing the script
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: in the air thing, I try to make. Any biggest
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: mistake is like when I did it, I make sure
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: it's not stapled so that when you throw it that
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: would go this is a whole different conversation. But she's
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: the type whould get like a stack in a strip
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: club and throw the whole stack instead of throwing the singles.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Again, we are an education podcast.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: All right, don't let's talk.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: I want part out, thank you.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: And he throws a books.
• 6:03
  Speaker 8: He doesn't throw the paper, paper, the whole mint.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Listen. It was meant to be theatrical.
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: Wow, because we did it in your episode and I
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: had no notes.
• 6:13
  Speaker 8: Well you don't want any notes, I'll break it.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: I'll break it now, you said, don't look it up,
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: no script, no notes. This is authentic, just like you.
• 6:20
  Speaker 8: And let me see.
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: I think the first place that we should start was
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: for a while, I don't know if y'all remember, we
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: had a Nickelodeon radio station with iHeart Nick Radio.
• 6:30
  Speaker 8: It was kind of like a Top forty junior. It
• 6:33
  Speaker 8: was you know what I'm saying.
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: It was everything that we played on our top forty
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: radio stations. Matter of fact, the Moniker was all the hits,
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: all the slime, oh wow, Nickelodeon. So it was like
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: we were playing all everything from at the time, the
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: Fifth Harmonies that were popping off. We had a launch
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: party where it actually was who performed at the launch party,
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: Cody Simpson. Remember when Cody Simpson was doing music, it
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: was him and and yeah, I think it was Fifth Harmony.
• 6:59
  Speaker 8: We got Slime do the whole thing. That was our launch.
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: But my role on our Nick Radio station was just
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: to be another DJ on the station. But going back
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: to what we were saying last time, like I think
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: all three of us can relate, we don't want to
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: just be just a part of a radio station. We
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: want to try to find a way to elevate, to
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: challenge ourselves to do more, just to yeah, what is
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: what is going to be my true role.
• 7:22
  Speaker 8: And purpose for being here?
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: And I kind of realized shortly after the launch of
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: Nick Radio that we didn't really have like a face
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: for the brand. It was just meant to kind of
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: be background noise, something that the parents could turn on
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: and just let the kids vibe out.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: And it was just but I thought I was like.
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: Something, And I was like, something is how could I
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: step into this role and be like a traditional radio
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: station like the morning show person I was doing.
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: I was doing the evening show, But I was like,
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: how can I be the face for this brand? And
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: that I think took a lot of people, not only
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: that were programming the radio station, but some of the
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: Nickelodeon executives surprised because I don't think that they were
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: prepared to have somebody who wanted to do more. It
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: was just kind of meant to be a collaboration between
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: iHeartRadio Nickelodeon that was just going to kind of be like,
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: all right, it's.
• 8:10
  Speaker 8: Gonna be our way into the kid radio.
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: Space, almost like check let's check that box, check that Yeah.
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: So when I realized about like six months into it,
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: I was like, man, how can I shake it up
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: a little bit?
• 8:23
  Speaker 8: How can I make some noise?
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: And I went to one of the Nick executives at
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: the time that was with the Nickelodeon Music team. His
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: name is Doug Cohen, and I told Doug. I was like, hey, man,
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: we need a face for this radio station. Let me
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: brand a show, let me create benchmarks. All the things
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: that we do on our radio shows regularly. I thought,
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: why can't I do this for NICK Radio? And you know,
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: some of it was next time you guys are doing
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: these TV shows, why do you have like a random
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: DJ that you hire that's an actor when it could
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: be DJ Maxwell branded Nick Radio. Here I am in
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: the background of I Carley, you know what I mean,
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: Like that could be our way to keep it all
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: under the same umbrella when it's you know, when it's
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: Good Burger, when it's these movies, Like, why does it
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: have to be just some random other actor that's back
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: there playing.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: A part emigrational.
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: Way to tie exactly to integrate Nick Radio into the shows,
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: I was trying animation.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: It told me was like wow.
• 9:20
  Speaker 8: For them, I think they were like, yo, that's wild.
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: So that led to that led to me first being
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: able to host all the like the the Green Carpet
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: and the Orange Carpet Award shows that we were doing
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: at like Kids Choice Awards, Kids' Choice Sports Awards. So
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: here I am out there representing Nick Radio as a
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: true face and talent for the brand at these other
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: Nickelodeon events, and I think that that really was kind
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: of like, Okay, we got something going here.
• 9:48
  Speaker 8: And it continued, it just continued.
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: There were opportunities after opportunities that I was just blessed
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: and fortunate enough to be the one to step into
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: those roles and yeah, and then I was seeing the
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: other that was really dope was I was seeing a
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: lot of the people that we would see in radio
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: at these other events, so it would put them at
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: ease when they would be at a Nickelodeon event and
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: it was like.
• 10:10
  Speaker 8: Oh, Maxwell, what are you doing here?
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: Because they would see me when I was working at
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: Z one hundred and they would like, you know, two
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: weeks prior, they would come in and they would do
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: like a jingle ball and then like next thing, you know,
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: I'm at the Kid's Choice Awards and here comes Zendeya.
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: You know, she's like, where'd you just a nigga? Like,
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: what's up, Dug?
• 10:24
  Speaker 8: Like all that. I think the Nickelodeon execs they were
• 10:27
  Speaker 8: starting to see.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: That all that synergy, all that ser They're like, dude.
• 10:30
  Speaker 8: Let's Leu's roll with it. And yeah.
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: So that was kind of how my my role within
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: NICK Radio truly blew up. It was it was just
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: being trying to be that person that could make it
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: make sense.
• 10:42
  Speaker 8: I just did.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 10:43
  Speaker 8: I always had the mentality like, yo, like why can't
• 10:46
  Speaker 8: it be me? Like why if.
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: That d like I said that DJ is some factor
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: on I carle like, why can't that be me? If
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: I can make it make sense and make it easier
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: for the Nickelodeon people. I was like, I'm sag aftra,
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: like you know what I'm saying.
• 10:58
  Speaker 8: Like, cove me that check, you know, And then they're
• 10:59
  Speaker 8: is going on right a little bit.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: I do a little bit more live events when Nickelodeon
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: are they still doing the radio thing?
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: No longer? So we ended that after about I think
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: eight years. Was Nick, you should be.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Like the PD for that.
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: I try, and I tried, Yeah, I try with thanks dude.
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: I tried, but it got to the point where the
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: contract was ending. CBS and Viacom they shifted how they're
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: doing everything in that world. It's a whole nother it's
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: a whole other thing. I still do a few live
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: events for Nickelodeon, hosting like.
• 11:30
  Speaker 8: Slime Fest was one of the concerts that we hosted.
• 11:32
  Speaker 8: That was is that me going on?
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Cut out?
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: You want to take the fuzz off your.
• 11:41
  Speaker 8: Oh no, I got on. I'm first off?
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Is true that you're focused on the fuzz on this sweater.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: I have like a hyper focused thing that when like she.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Does, I should be saying, she like picks, she picks.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, listen, that's what a sister does got.
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: You you know, yeah, but it led to a lot
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: of live events. I built relationships with the actors, you
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: know what I'm saying. Keenan Kell became friends of mine.
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: So when it came time for like Good Burger, the
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: reboot for the movie that they were doing, they were
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: like yo, I hit him with the text do you
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: need me to do anything? But he was like, bro,
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: you want to be in so of course I want
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: to be in a Good Burger too, Like this is crazy,
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: all right, let me put you in touch with the
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: casting director. They did a solid and like kind of
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: said like this is a dude, We're going to get
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: you in like a prominent extra role. I got to
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: sit on the set. I was hanging out with Gronk
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: and Keenan and killed whole day.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: So I mean you can catch me for half a
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: second in the movie. But a lot of it, yeah,
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: a lot of it just kind of stemmed from wanting
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: to do wanted to do.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Like there's a lot of time for that one half
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: a second. R takes a lot of that was how
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: many hours?
• 12:48
  Speaker 8: Low key?
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: I almost got in trouble for that too. Really, I'll
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: take you behind the velvet rope on that I was.
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: At Z exclusive guy, Yeah, we need an exclusive jingle.
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: And I I took a half day, like you know,
• 13:02

• 13:04
  Speaker 6: was like, oh dude, my call time was like six

• 13:21
  Speaker 6: O'clock, but I didn't realize fully how long it was
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: gonna take. Like you said, yeah, it takes forever for
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: like a ten second shot. They confiscate our phones, they
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: take everything because at that time the movie was like
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: fully under embargo.
• 13:33
  Speaker 8: And I'm sitting up there, I'm watching a clock tick
• 13:35
  Speaker 8: and I'm like, wait a.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Second, all right, i gotta be back at.

  Speaker 8: Here we are at eleven, it's eleven forty. They haven't
• 13:44
  Speaker 8: called me yet.
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: It's eleven and my phone was gone, so I couldn't

  Speaker 6: let my PD know. And he's like, bro, like he
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: like it sent a hole cause he was like where
• 13:52

• 13:53
  Speaker 6: person that just kind of disappears, you know what I mean.
• 13:55
  Speaker 8: So it's like I couldn't. I didn't hear from you.
• 13:57
  Speaker 8: We didn't know what was going on. Blah blah blah
• 13:59
  Speaker 8: bla blah blah blah.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Did you make your show or no? No?
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: No, man, we didn't finish rapping until nighttime. Yeah, bro,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: it was crazy. It was holding your show just nobody.
• 14:07
  Speaker 8: I think we ended up having to find like a
• 14:09
  Speaker 8: random like feeling or something. Yeah, it was a whole thing.
• 14:11
  Speaker 8: It was a whole thing. Wow. Yeah, it was a
• 14:14
  Speaker 8: whole thing.
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: And then when like and finally and it's like when
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: I finally got my phone, it was like a full
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: ass like lockdown. We couldn't talk about I just signed
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: NDA to even say that I was going to be
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: in the movie like all that stuff.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: So it's crazy.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Have you ever have you ever been to like a
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: filming of any sort of like movie or anything like that.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: It was nuts. I didn't I did that. I was
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: an extra. I wish I remember I was so young
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: when I did it.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: To find this video. This was in Florida. This is
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: when I was in Orlando very young. I still was
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: maybe not even in high school, maybe being in a
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: high school. But anyway, my sister was modeling for like
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Reebok and doing something with Disney out there, and they
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: were filming one of those shows. But I knew nothing
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: of it, like I didn't watch any of this stuff.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: So but she was like, Hey, this guy's doing casting
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: for your age group.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: You should do it. So of course my mom forces
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: me to go. So I go.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: I have like no interest, to be honest, you to do.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: So anyway, I ended up getting like part cast it
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: to like sit there like they're gonna pay me.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Cool.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Cool, but I got to actually see how it works,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: and it's crazy. So, like I sat at the table
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: with like three other people acting like we were talking,
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: like you're not you're not actually talking, Nobody.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: One sitting in there just like yeah, bana yeah, and
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: just listening.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: And then they're to tell you like you can't look over,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: you can't look at the cameras, you can focus on
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: your table, blah blah blah.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: It's crazy. So I did it once and I was like.
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: And it lasted forever though, like you said that, I
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: had no idea it was that one scene they shot
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: like three or four times, and it was like, wow,
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: it took like two hours for like like you're saying,
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: like a one.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: Thirty minute episode, you're there.
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: Because what I didn't really need to be rail the
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: convo was like you know what I mean, So save
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: there needs to be a camera that's catching the dialogue
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: going this blocking and then it's like, all right, we
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: got to flip the whole thing around and do it
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: again to catch it going this way. Another part that
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: was really funny was I was with Gronk, who was amazing.
• 15:56
  Speaker 8: Dude.
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: You know, anybody that knows uh Rob Gronkowski, dude, this hilarious.
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: He was the one that was speaking. But I'm with
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: him the whole time. We're eating cold fake hamburgers, pretending
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: like we're chilling on French fries. He's you know, he's
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: over here. We'd just bsing like, man, this is delicious,
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: even though they made it at ten am yesterday morning,
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: like we're just joking and stuff, and they would be like,
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: all right, cut Gronk, you can't make jokes because we
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: can still pull it up.
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: So we were joking. We were kind of like the
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: problem child on the.
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: Set a little bit, you know what I mean, Were
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: you were like really eating or did you have a
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: spit pucket?
• 16:24
  Speaker 8: No, we were really eating.
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: They were grilling like real burgers, that's what they were
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: really grilling burgers on good Burger too, which was fire.
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: But then Keenan because he knew me I was in
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: the scene with Gronk and he would come over and
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: it's a part where he's like pretending like he's cleaning
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: but eaves dropping on something that's happening. So he kept
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: on like spraying me with water, like you know what
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: I mean, just because it wasn't nothing I was in
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: the script. It's just his genius of being an ad
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: liber and being what he does on SNL and has
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: done a Nickelodeon for his entire year or his entire
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: years that he's been doing it.
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: So it was like a whole thing.
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: But just it was like all right, now we gotta
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: wipe down Maxwell's face because.
• 16:57
  Speaker 8: It was like all kind of stuff.
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: But so it took a lot longer, and I, yeah,
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: I really got in trouble. I really got in trouble.
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: Like yeah, I was like, dang, dude, I was like,
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: but I couldn't tell y'all that I was here, What
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: were you doing all day?
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: Well, I hate burgers, yeah, and uh it's a great day.
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: It was a great day.
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: So that's that's how I got to That's how I
• 17:14
  Speaker 6: got to do a good burger. But it was to
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: go back to it and to kind of wrap up
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: this part of it for y'all is it was just
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: the wanting to be able to represent for where I
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: was kind of like we were saying on part one, it's
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: like I just wanted to be that person that was
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: able to elevate what I was doing. Also just to
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: make the team a little bit bigger or more established.
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: And that's how I felt with Nick Radio, I was like,
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: there's got to be somebody. We can't just be a
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: random radio station.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Ye, like I love passionate about what you're doing kids
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: on that No.
• 17:44
  Speaker 8: It was myself.
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: It was Wendy Wild when he was one of our
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: jocks out and it was mostly like a pre recorded
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: we was going and just I kind of do it.
• 17:52
  Speaker 8: But I just I just knew that it had to
• 17:53
  Speaker 8: be more.
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: It just felt like it was just this uncharted territory
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: because I would see it. I was just like, why now,
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: it's like kid pop, right yeah, yeah, yep, So that
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: was that was It was fun, but that was just
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: my That was my step into more of the hosting
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: in the in the kids entertainment. I got to I
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: got cast as as DJ Maxwell on the show that
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: they had that ran for two seasons.
• 18:15
  Speaker 8: It was kind of like a little sitcom.
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: That they called Make It Pop and it was all
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: about a group of kids who went to a private
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: boarding school and they formed their own K pop group.
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: And then the episodes that I got to do for that,
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: they I was the DJ in the in the fictional world,
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: you know, which, which is all the stuff that I
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: was seeing. I was like, why shouldn't it be a
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: random actor if it could be DJ Maxwell from Nick Radio.
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: So they built this into the script for Make It
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: Pop and it was crazy and you know what I mean. Yeah,
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: so it was dope, but they played the episodes.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: I did episodes, Yo, they're out there.
• 18:43
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I got I should have I should have brought
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: you out with the clips.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: But it's fun.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: I love that.
• 18:48
  Speaker 8: I mean, you know, it was bigger advocating.
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: For yourself, having a vision, fighting for that vision, and
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: becoming a brandom Bastrood, not just for you, but where
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: the brand could go exactly. And it's using your network,
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: which is your net worth. And we spoke about it
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: in season two, Episode two is your episode, and it's
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: that seems to be the theme throughout this whole season.
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: It's networking and relationship building and it comes up in
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: every episode and it's something that we continue to drill in.
• 19:18
  Speaker 8: It's the most important, Yeah, the most important.
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: I mean, obviously it's what you what you do when
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: that opportunity presents itself, what you do to prepare for
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: when that opportunity to present itself, how you're able to deliver,
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: you know what I mean. It's obviously other things that
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: we work for, but it's like, you know what I mean,
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: it's fighting for yourself to say, like, hey, take a
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: chance on me, and I promise you it's going to
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: deliver for a reason that you maybe didn't think of,
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: or if you did think of it, and I'm not
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: the right fit.
• 19:43
  Speaker 8: Cool, at least I didn't go to sleep thinking.
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: To myself, damn, I should have said something, and then
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: it bypasses you and then it's somebody else doing it,
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: and I'm sitting at the house watching Make It Pop
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: and it's some random ass actor like doing what I
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: could have been doing if I would have just spoke up.
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: So and through that I met some really cool, some
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: really amazing talented actors and kids, and I kind of,
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: you know, stoke the fire for me to want to
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: do a little bit of, you know, more learning how
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: to act and be in front of a camera.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Is that is that your next step, man, bro?
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: Getting out of your comfort zone?
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: And I think I think so, dude, I think so.
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: I mean, I would I would love to. I mean,
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: I love I love being able to. I think, not
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: necessarily because I want to be me, but just I
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: just love the challenge and I love thinking, like, yo,
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: if I can take this on and I can accomplish it,
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: it's just going to.
• 20:28
  Speaker 8: Be another tool in my toolbox that I could do.
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: That's that forward pushes whatever team it is and I'm
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: on in a different revenue earning avenue, and it's like,
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: if I could be that dude, like the creative why not?
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Why not? Why not me?
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: If he can do it on radio? That was that
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: was your your mantra in college.
• 20:49
  Speaker 8: So exactly, yeah, actly.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: It definitely goes back to what I always say, which
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: is dancers, no if you don't ask exactly straight upon else.
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: If you don't, and they're gonna get that yes, and
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: you're just gonna be sitting at the.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: House like I literally got to where I'm on today
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: just asking the questions that nobody else.
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: And but also you deliver when you're when you're asking
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: for that opportunity.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: You don't ask for something you're not ready or you
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: don't have, so let's not go out there and just
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: start asking questions.
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: But it's also you know, walking the walk right, like
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: I've proven that I can do this.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's building that trust.
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: Building that trust, it's it's building it's building that trust
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: with whoever it is that you're working with the artists
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: that and that was another thing that really helped within
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: that world, was especially with the artists and stuff I
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: was doing nick Radio was I was now in a
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: different world with the same artists that I was in
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: over here. So they the artists already had that trust.
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: So when they came to the Nickelodeon side of things
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: and they saw a familiar face, they saw somebody. I mean,
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: we were doing events with with flow Rider, we were
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: doing events with z with de Pain with you know
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: big I mean bb Rexa, you know what I'm saying,
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: Louis Tomlinson, I mean one direction, guys. I mean, but
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: it was all people who I had relationships with in
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: this world. So it made them that much more comfortable
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: when they were over here, when they saw a familiar face.
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: And I think that for the executives that weren't used
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: to that trust, that trust. So it was like, oh,
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: so if we can get Maxwell to come and do
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: these things, you know all the time, you know, I
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: was like, this is all I'm asking is I just
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: want to be that person there so I can make
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: sure that you get delivered the best product ever. All
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: the stuff we did with team Nick top Ten, I
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: don't even talk about that. When I was with with
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: Nick Cannon, you know.
• 22:34
  Speaker 8: What I mean. It was like we were working with
• 22:35
  Speaker 8: Nick and Nig was like, I know you dude.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Like that is what that's called his passion, right, So
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: what Maxwell has is a passion to over deliver and
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: for sure, and he takes you know, his responsibilities seriously
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: and he gives his best at all times.
• 22:48
  Speaker 8: You know, he wants I appreciate that.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: You can see I hear all the time.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, I've told you this before and he knows
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: back in the backgrounds or in conversations I have. I
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: always talk about Maxwell of how like how good he
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: does his show, and you know he does stuff on
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: the radio.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: I want to, you know, vice versa.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, everyone brings their own element, right, but like
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Maxwell's very hands on, very love. He's always on the
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: phone talking to the people. You know, It's something that
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: you would definitely want, you know, as actually I'll say
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: if I was a programmer, but.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: As a programs something.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: But it's something that you actually look for, right where
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: you don't want a lazy talent, right, He's a total opposite.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: He's an over deliverer.
• 23:30
  Speaker 8: Yeah, listen if I was lazy.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: In my head though as a programmer, I have so
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: much going on because I'm hearing him talk, right, and
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: I'm like, you have a lot of these I'm like,
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: whose phone numbers.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Do you have? Like that's the conversation.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: Looks like open your phone, all open mind.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: You're working on all these shows and and like listen
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: on this side.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: You know what, what's interesting. The wheels are turning.
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: But while we record our episodes, I just want to
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: say pro's phone does not stop and then he'll be
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: like sorry French Montana was type was like, let.
• 24:01
  Speaker 8: Me turn my because I know.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: You know, I gotta take the vibration, the vibrating sound off.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: But whatever.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: But no, it's you know you spoke.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: In the music industries, there is no hours, right as
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: you know there are no hours.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're as.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: I can show you my text messages like they were
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: flowing right through midnight right into like two, three, four
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: in the morning. People are hitting it because everyone's doing something
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: at that time. Even though I'm sleeping. I wake up
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: and I was away.
• 24:25
  Speaker 8: They come to you.
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: They comes to you because you're that dude, and that's
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: that's right. So I try to do like I just
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: want to. And what I love about.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: Being there are popa pro everywhere goes to pro.
• 24:33

• 24:34
  Speaker 6: is that is that I have so many amazing peers
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: that you know what I mean that I just I
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: just love the work ethic. I love what y'all have
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: done for yourselves and how hard you've worked. And it's
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: like we're not around no rookies around here, and it's
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: like it's so so dope to yeah, just to see
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: how everybody moves and that that keeps me driven to
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: want to do bigger and more. And that's all I mean,
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: I kind of adapt to the vine and that's all
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: I'm that's all I'm trying to do now.
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: But it's also you know you you spoke about brand strategy,
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: you spoke about elevation, you spoke about amplification, you spoke
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: about self advocacy, and all of those are great attributions.
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: And that's why your partnerships continue to excel because you
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: bring value to the table and you put yourself behind
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: everything you do.
• 25:20
  Speaker 8: That's all you can do.
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, especially in our world where there are
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: a lot of people who want the opportunities that we're
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: you know, blessed to get that we are handed at
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: some point in time, but also opportunities that we work
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: towards receiving. And the last thing I want to do
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: is fumble a bag and how's gonna happen.
• 25:39
  Speaker 8: I'm not perfect, nobody's perfect. It's whatever.
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: But as long as I know that I'm doing my
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: best to be that person that the you know that
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: that whoever it is that's putting together whatever project it
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: is calls on, then then I know I'm going to
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: step up to the play. We had a big thing
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: not too long ago where we did our very first
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: ever live broadcast with Madison here. We broadcasted on all
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: the iHeart radio top forty stations on.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: Our That was insane. It was social coverage for that.
• 26:06
  Speaker 8: It was crazy.
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: Tell us the scoop behind the scenes because you were
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: giving some teasers.
• 26:11
  Speaker 8: Man, it was I was nervous.
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: I'm not gonna lie because I knew what the magnitude
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: of what it was. It's our first time ever with
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: iHeart partnering with TikTok. I mean we went live on
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: TikTok at the same time that we were live on
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: all these radio stations, and I mean the TikTok platform.
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: As you know, there's there's almost there's billions of people
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: that part Heart.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: I just want to say that shout out for Heart.
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: That was extremely innovative and strategic.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: We're gonna get Bob up there for really, We're gonna
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: get You'll tell you you're gonna get I gotta get
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Bob on the podcast.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: That's the one. I'm gonna become like fully prepared.
• 26:42
  Speaker 8: Over the shop.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: I have exactly you talk about, you know, and not
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: you know, not not to take anything from any other
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: company there with just iHeart continues just to set level up,
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: bro set the level and the expectations, and another one.
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: I mean it was insane, the rooms set up like glass,
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: having her in the middle, everything you were.
• 27:02
  Speaker 8: It was there's so much.
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: Go to the iHeart Instagram, go to in Maxwell's house
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: Instagram and you'll see all all of the reels.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: It was really cool.
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: Everything just to know that it was a part of
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: our first ever collaboration.
• 27:16
  Speaker 8: Really in that magnitude with TikTok. There was a lot
• 27:20
  Speaker 8: that there was.
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: I mean, I had some conversations where people were like, look,
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: this is our first time doing this, not trying to
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: you know, say don't screw it up, but don't screw
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: it up, you know what I mean, because like if
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: it goes wrong this they might not ever come back
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: to it.
• 27:32
  Speaker 8: Yeah you know, but if it goes right, it could
• 27:34
  Speaker 8: be something. And all the all the while, people were.
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: And I was having these you know conversations, watching the
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: emails flow, oh like like trust me, like you know
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: what I mean. But I felt that confidence in myself
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: because I knew I was telling, you know, myself and
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: and not so many words to everyone I was communicating
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: with up the food chain. Was like, like, you guys,
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: put me in this position because you know, I can
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: hit this home run for y'all, and I promise you
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna do I'm gonna do that for you because
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: with Madison, she and I have a relationship and a
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: friendship that was extremely comfortable. That was going to set
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: her at ease, you know, with the magnitude of what
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: was going on. I mean, it's literally all of TikTok
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: was going to be watching this, you know what I mean.
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: And we knew that, but I also knew that I
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: could deliver and to have it be something after the
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: fact that it actually did and we we nailed it.
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: When I tell you it was I think that the wow,
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: I honest say, I think that the numbers were almost
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: like a quarter of a million people were watching it
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: was like ninety two something.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: So for anybody watching this right now or listening to it,
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: can they go back right now? And yeah, because it
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: lives now.
• 28:32
  Speaker 8: It lives now.
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: It's like yeah, if you if you google, you go
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: hop on TikTok and type in iHeart and Madison Beer
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: like you're going to see, you know, social media clips
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: that we pulled from it. We ran, Yeah, we played
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: some of our brand new music, but it just was really.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: Stream lives somewhere the full half.
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: An hour stream. I'm not one hundred percent sure. I
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: don't want to say that, but I mean, they we
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: have so.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: Many well Madison's people, let us know.
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: Madison's people get at me. I mean, we got clips
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: that are out there for the world to have.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: And so because if listeners ask, they're demanding it.
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: They're demanding, they want it, we can say that, Yeah,
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: it was so dope to have been the person that
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: helped deliver that. Again, it's not because it was me.
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: It was because I knew that I would be the
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: best person inside.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: You know what.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: So so let's let's let's ask this question so for people,
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: because because I I've been on that side of the
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: chair right where you have all this pressure on you, yeah, right,
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: and you're about to I used to deal with it
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: every week when I was doing one on six in
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: part YEP, just as the DJ. Because then they started
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: having me almost like a co host with them, where
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: I got lines and I you know, reading the prompter
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: and then just knowing like and at this point there's
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: a million viewers every single time on the show, Like,
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: so you know, like a million people are about to
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: see you don't.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: And they'll tell you. They'll tell you got the script?
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Are you good?
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: Sure?
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Don't mess it up? The words are moving, what goals
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: are the people listening?
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: What goes through your head right before you go live,
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: Like in these moments, how do you relax yourself?
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Like where do you start thinking?
• 29:50
  Speaker 8: You know, I do think don't screw it up. I
• 29:53
  Speaker 8: really do.
• 29:53
  Speaker 6: I'm not even go to front like I'm like, man,
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: all right, I do think don't screw it up. But
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: also at the time I think in it and it
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: went through my mind this most recent time, it is
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: like I'm in this position for a reason, like I'll
• 30:06
  Speaker 6: be I'll be good, like trusting yourself, trusting your ability
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: that you're gonna it's gonna be all right, you know
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: what I mean?
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: Just like and then once it gets going, Yeah, the
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: jitters are always right in the this is a good question.
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: After that, Like a public speaker, I always get the
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: jitters before I'm doing something live, But then once you're there,
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: that's it.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: So this is something that just we all you know,
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: it feel the same.
• 30:36
  Speaker 8: You both nailed it. That's exactly it.
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: Like I, you know, every time, it don't matter, it
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: could be everything else, to be a jingle ball, to
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: be k for you as soon as whatever it is
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: that you're doing. It's but once you get past that first,
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: like it was up guys, welcome to iHeart Radio, all
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: of a sudden you're.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Just like I did one of those I think it
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: was with Cal. I didn't want with t I and
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: I didn't want Cali where I had to host them
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: in the iHeart Theater and it was being broadcast that everywhere,
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: you know, on all the rail stations. It's nerve wracking
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: because you know, like you said, leaning into it, you're
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: going over the scripts and everybody there's a full team,
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: so that you know, once you realize everyone's focused on
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: you like this and there's like fifty.
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: Peop and you're like why.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: And you're going through the whole script and this is
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: what's gonna happen at this point and da da da,
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: and you know you have to say this and mention
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: this and turn this way and look at that camera
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: for and all that's a lot of pressure and then
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: you go live and then when you're out there, you're
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: just like trying to calm calm myself down. It was.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: It was a lot. It's when I.
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: Started to think about, you know, and I tried not to,
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: but it was impossible to not think about the fact
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: that all of TikTok, like they were like, Yo, this
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: is gonna go this, there's gonna pop up, that's gonna
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: pop up on the front page of TikTok. And then
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: what was wild was like after it was done. I
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: mean we all hugged out. It was I mean, the
• 31:45
  Speaker 6: numbers we crushed it. So proud of myself, proud of
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: the team that made it happen, everybody from top to bottom.
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: The thing that hit me the craziest when I realized,
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: I was like, damn, this is a big deal. Is
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: I got a text from my sister in our family
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: group chat and she was like, not. My nephew's name
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: is Strayvon, seventeen years old. Young dude, he's on watch
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: you on TikTok. My bro, when I tell you pro stole,
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: just watch you. He was like, he came running too
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: my sister's house. He's like, not Trayvon running and knocking
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: on my window in the bedroom saying like, why is
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: uncle on TikTok sitting next to Madison Beer with like
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: three hundred thousand people. And I just but he had
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: no idea because I mean I it was and you
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: were like minded.
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: Forget my entire career, this is my maide up moment.
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: I'm cool with my nephew, you know what I'm saying.
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: But it was like, it's wild, you know what I mean.
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: But if you allow yourself to think about that and
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: let that pressure build on you, then you're gonna crumble.
• 32:30
  Speaker 6: But I just you know, it's okay to be nervous
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: in that moment. But once we did it, it's just like, dude,
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: this is it. And we had a blast, and I'm
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: hoping and I'm thinking, and from what I understand, there's
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: gonna be more opportunities that we're going to be able
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: to level up with.
• 32:41
  Speaker 8: iHeart intertalk and building partnership.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: That's all that shot.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: I heart the partnerships that they're they've created in their
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: building and they continue to build their our next.
• 32:50
  Speaker 8: Level and I just love being a part of it.
• 32:52
  Speaker 8: So and that that's all it is.
• 32:53
  Speaker 6: Because again, It goes back to everything he said the
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: very first episode why not me?
• 32:56
  Speaker 8: Like, why should it be somebody else?
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: If you can do it, if you.
• 32:59
  Speaker 8: Could do it, I could.
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: I promise you, I can, I promise, I promise you.
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna put myself. I'm a practice. I will prepare
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: myself enough and if I'm not. If I don't, then
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: it's okay. It's not in the world. There's somebody that
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: was better for that position and it wasn't meant for.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Me and for anybody watching or listening right now, remember
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: these words. If you do not ask, the answer is
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: always going to be no. So if you're if you've
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: been sitting on uh, something you want to do. Maybe
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: you want to go to your boss ask for a raise,
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: Maybe you want to go to your head whoever the manager,
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: and say, hey, I want to upgrade to this position,
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: or can I do this or can I do that?
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: The answer is no. If you don't ask, always, always,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: in forever.
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: It's advocacy, but it's also preparation.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: You'd be surprised.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: Have a pitch prepared, Yeah, have your data inline?
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: What the down? Yeah? I definitely I learned that young too. Like,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: so when you ask for something. Be prepared, yet, be prepared.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: I would ask for things back in the days.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: I remember, like on radio, even when I came to
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: New York and I started doing afternoons on Power on
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: A five, and the p at that time was Cadillac. Right, yeah, Cadillac.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: I did my research. He's a numbers person, right. He
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: was a numbers person, strictly numbers right, great guy. So
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: I wanted to mix on my show for more time
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: than I was mixing. So I went and started. I
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: went into the ratings. I found out what the ratings were.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: I said, you know, what are the rains when I'm mixing?
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: What are the rains when I'm not mixing?
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: D da da da.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: I broke it down on paper, why we should mix longer,
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: why I should move this commercial break to this blah blah.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Blah, late it all. He looked at it. He said,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: sounds like great.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: I didn't mean you should do it start next when
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: you want to start immediately. This is what you're like,
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: this is what I want to call it. Blah blah blah,
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: and there you go. I left that room saying, got
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: it done. But if I never asked, it would have
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: never happened. Because they'll just allow you to do what
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: they tell If you do what they tell you to
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: do and that's it, then that's what it's going to be.
• 34:44
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's what it's going to be.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: If you ever want to excel and do more, you
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: have to ask. If the answers no is cool, maybe
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: you'll come later, whatever the case is, but you have
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: to sometimes be willing to carbadium.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah damn, seize the day.
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: But also it's about you know, doing your research and
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: having mentors and you know, pick a brain, ask questions.
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: That's something that I always say that I'm so grateful
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: not just to both y'all, but everyone here at iHeart
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: is everyone is so open and everyone's so open minded
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: and willing to learn and willing to explain and that
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: growth mindset. Like it's so cool to see the synergy
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: between Early and iHeart because that partnership, well, this partnership
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: has synergized on that. It's everyone's open to be creative
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: and how can we elevate, how can we build to
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: the next level, And me coming in the booth and
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: be like Maxwell, I loved what you did on social
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: and you're telling me, Hey, so this is how I
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: did it. This is what I was thinking, this is
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: what you got to do. And then sitting with pro
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: and what do you think about this? And these different
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: you know, revenue streams or business alignments.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: And things like that.
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: So it's so cool that we can have this dialogue
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: and have these you know, like next level so the business.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Relationships, and at the end of the day, hopefully you're
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: somebody listening watching that it motivates.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: Them to get to that next step.
• 36:04
