- 3:59Speaker 2: a happening.
- 4:00Speaker 4: And well, I.
- 4:01Speaker 3: Remember in the studio there was like some red police
- 4:03Speaker 3: siren that started going off, like it was like the hotline.
- 4:06Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it was a wild time. It was incredible
- 4:11Speaker 3: to me.
- 4:11Speaker 2: So, what if anything from your experience here on this
- 4:16Speaker 2: show led you to be able to do something that
- 4:19Speaker 2: gets two hundred and fifty million views.
- 4:21Speaker 4: Well that's an old number. We're over four hundred million
- 4:24Speaker 4: down with me.
- 4:24Speaker 3: No, No, that's not you, that's I. Look if that's
- 4:26Speaker 3: our team, that's our team. Who sent that to you?
- 4:28Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 4:28Speaker 3: I I was like, I was thinking about this last night.
- 4:32Speaker 4: I actually got emotional in my hotel room.
- 4:34Speaker 3: I was like, it was a working for you all
- 4:35Speaker 3: was like a life changer because I was just this
- 4:38Speaker 3: like poor kid from Cape cod who got a scholarship
- 4:40Speaker 3: to go to Emerson and and I wanted to be
- 4:43Speaker 3: an actor, and I quickly learned I was no good
- 4:45Speaker 3: at that. I was just a little gay boy with
- 4:47Speaker 3: this like high pitched voice and didn't know what I
- 4:50Speaker 3: was going to do.
- 4:50Speaker 4: In the world.
- 4:50Speaker 3: And I came and worked for you guys, and I
- 4:53Speaker 3: my eyes were open to like fabulousness. And famous people
- 4:57Speaker 3: and like and and working among that was like possible
- 5:01Speaker 3: for me.
- 5:01Speaker 2: Well, it's funny because off the air you mentioned that
- 5:05Speaker 2: you were from Yarmouth, Yes, down in the Cape, and
- 5:07Speaker 2: I said, oh, a couple of weeks ago I shot
- 5:09Speaker 2: the TV show in South Yarmouth, Red Jacket, and.
- 5:12Speaker 4: You worked there. I worked at the Red Jacket for
- 5:13Speaker 4: like six years.
- 5:14Speaker 3: That was another the two most the most formidable things
- 5:19Speaker 3: in my work life were the Red Jacket and working
- 5:21Speaker 3: for you guys.
- 5:22Speaker 4: At West Say. We were at least ahead of the
- 5:23Speaker 4: REGI of the Red Jacket for sure, for sure.
- 5:26Speaker 3: But you know you all took me seriously and you
- 5:28Speaker 3: gave me an opportunity. I'm a very hard worker, and
- 5:30Speaker 3: you gave me the opportunity to do that. And so
- 5:33Speaker 3: you know, I when I moved to New York and
- 5:35Speaker 3: I found my way to podcasting, I was saying to
- 5:38Speaker 3: you like, this was my only experience working in audio
- 5:40Speaker 3: was working with you guys. And I remember when I
- 5:42Speaker 3: was working in bookings for you guys, we used to
- 5:44Speaker 3: send at Christmas, we would send.
- 5:46Speaker 4: Like little gifts to like the big agencies.
- 5:49Speaker 3: I remember we would send them to Avenue of the
- 5:51Speaker 3: America and that sounded so fabulous to me. And now
- 5:54Speaker 3: I live in New York, I'm like, oh, it's just
- 5:55Speaker 3: sixth Avenue, like you know, and I see it.
- 5:57Speaker 4: All the time and I'm like, oh my god, I
- 5:59Speaker 4: did it.
- 5:59Speaker 3: But you know, working for you guys is in my
- 6:03Speaker 3: book that I that I wrote, and it's.
- 6:04Speaker 4: In my dimension.
- 6:05Speaker 2: I'm in your.
- 6:06Speaker 4: Book you are.
- 6:07Speaker 3: So My book is called a failure is not not
- 6:10Speaker 3: an option. It's the twelve silly stories of like my biggest,
- 6:14Speaker 3: most embarrassing failures in my life. And one of them
- 6:18Speaker 3: is about a weekend or really just a night that
- 6:20Speaker 3: I spent with the actress.
- 6:21Speaker 4: B Arthur from The Golden Girls. Of course you did, yes,
- 6:24Speaker 4: and I was. I was asked to be her host.
- 6:26Speaker 4: In a minute, you slept with Beyond, I.
- 6:28Speaker 3: Had sex with b Arthur, the only woman I've ever
- 6:30Speaker 3: been with and weirdly the most masculine sexual experience of
- 6:34Speaker 3: my life.
- 6:36Speaker 4: But it was amazing for both of us.
- 6:38Speaker 2: I'm sure it was.
- 6:39Speaker 4: It was to remember that. And by the way, you
- 6:44Speaker 4: are a best seller. Yes, yes, the book was a
- 6:46Speaker 4: best seller.
- 6:47Speaker 3: And but I got that gig being her host and
- 6:50Speaker 3: guide for the weekend because I had lied to my
- 6:53Speaker 3: friends at school who had invited her to come receive
- 6:56Speaker 3: an award talking about all of the celebrities that I.
- 6:59Speaker 4: Worked with the Mattie in.
- 7:00Speaker 3: The Morning Show, which you all probably smartly kept me
- 7:03Speaker 3: away from all the celebrities.
- 7:04Speaker 4: I never worked at any of the celebrities, but I
- 7:05Speaker 4: would you have a very high pitch for I know,
- 7:08Speaker 4: I'm very loud. I'm very loud, but I I uh so. Anyway,
- 7:13Speaker 4: there's a whole chapter.
- 7:14Speaker 3: In my book about like when I when I gave
- 7:15Speaker 3: up the idea of being an actor, I got an
- 7:17Speaker 3: internship working for you guys, and what it was like
- 7:19Speaker 3: to like work on the Mattie of the Morning Show.
- 7:21Speaker 4: It was just like wild and wonderful and so great.
- 7:23Speaker 2: So what makes your podcast so damn popular? Well?
- 7:28Speaker 3: So, true True Crime Obsessed is my original podcast. We've
- 7:31Speaker 3: been at it for nine years, and I think that
- 7:33Speaker 3: the fact that it's a true crime podcast by itself
- 7:35Speaker 3: automatically puts it in a in a in a in
- 7:37Speaker 3: a genre that people just really love and respond to.
- 7:41Speaker 4: Ours is really different from others.
- 7:42Speaker 3: We recap true crime documentaries and we started doing that
- 7:45Speaker 3: before the documentary craze. You know, it's me and my
- 7:49Speaker 3: my co host Julian Pennsylvali. So it's like a loud
- 7:51Speaker 3: kay guy and this like super opinionated, sassy girl, and
- 7:55Speaker 3: we sort of just like no holds barred. We say
- 7:57Speaker 3: everything we think. We sort of just like leave it
- 8:00Speaker 3: all on the floor. It's very high energy, it's very
- 8:02Speaker 3: fast paced, and it's and it's funny, you know, and
- 8:04Speaker 3: it's it's it's fun and endearing.
