Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: All right, Unfiltered, let's go.
- 0:02Speaker 2: Let's take this.
- 0:05Speaker 3: Either you do what Tampa Bay's best music is nine.
- 0:10Speaker 2: There is so much to catch up on this past weekend.
- 0:13Speaker 2: I feel like you were an entirely different part of
- 0:16Speaker 2: the state.
- 0:17Speaker 1: I went on a date.
- 0:18Speaker 2: There was a lot to do, and so I want
- 0:20Speaker 2: to catch up right now with Unfiltered. So first off,
- 0:22Speaker 2: if you're first joining us, it's Scotty and Abbey.
- 0:25Speaker 1: This is the Unfiltered podcast.
- 0:26Speaker 2: So if you've only listened to the show, or you've
- 0:29Speaker 2: only listened to me, or we've already begun, I knew
- 0:33Speaker 2: this is gonna happen.
- 0:33Speaker 3: I was waiting and then you wouldn't give me a pause.
- 0:36Speaker 2: So Abby's been eating in the studio for probably thirty minutes,
- 0:41Speaker 2: different things to crunch.
- 0:44Speaker 3: He's like, oh, she's eating, So she went to the
- 0:46Speaker 3: break room. She got her popcorners.
- 0:49Speaker 2: First off, I literally have already eaten like a pound
- 0:51Speaker 2: of brown beef. And so first off, I want to
- 0:56Speaker 2: make a note of the last time we hopped on.
- 0:58Speaker 2: It was right before a radio thought and then it
- 1:02Speaker 2: was straight forty eight hours of all radio, all fundraising,
- 1:06Speaker 2: all efforts in as we're at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital.
- 1:10Speaker 2: I want to share my thoughts on it because I
- 1:12Speaker 2: feel like this.
- 1:12Speaker 1: Is a cool space to do it.
- 1:13Speaker 2: And we're actually live on Abby's Instagram and my Instagram,
- 1:17Speaker 2: so you've never followed us there before.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Check it out.
- 1:20Speaker 2: But Abby, what were your thoughts about the radiothon Because
- 1:23Speaker 2: I've never done anything like this and I know you have,
- 1:26Speaker 2: So what were the things that you liked?
- 1:27Speaker 1: Would you want to do it again?
- 1:28Speaker 2: What were the things that came out that you're like,
- 1:30Speaker 2: wait a second, I did or I didn't enjoy.
- 1:33Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a big charity week for me because
- 1:35Speaker 3: Thursday was Radiothon, So we were going commercial free on
- 1:38Speaker 3: our station for twenty four hours and basically just like
- 1:42Speaker 3: begging people to donate to Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital.
- 1:45Speaker 3: And we did that for a long time. We were
- 1:48Speaker 3: there at the station. We were there at the hospital
- 1:50Speaker 3: for like what sixteen hours, and then we went to
- 1:52Speaker 3: the hotel and then we broadcasted more, and.
- 1:54Speaker 1: Then we came back and then we did some more radio.
- 1:56Speaker 3: And then I immediately went home and then the next
- 1:58Speaker 3: day drove to Bert's big venture in Orlando, where I
- 2:02Speaker 3: was helping them out for a day and then hung
- 2:04Speaker 3: out with them all on Sunday. So, I mean, I'm
- 2:07Speaker 3: used to having a little bit of stamino when it
- 2:09Speaker 3: comes to charity, but I always forget, like it never
- 2:11Speaker 3: gets easier, Like it's always it's always tough. You're given
- 2:14Speaker 3: as much of yourself as you can, and it's always
- 2:16Speaker 3: worth it, but it's pretty exhausting, I will.
- 2:19Speaker 1: Say, yeah.
- 2:19Speaker 2: I mean for me, I've never done anything like this
- 2:21Speaker 2: where it's all day we're trying to raise money.
- 2:25Speaker 1: But honestly I loved it.
- 2:26Speaker 3: You, I know, cause you you love to be out
- 2:29Speaker 3: in the world. Scotty.
- 2:30Speaker 2: I do well.
- 2:31Speaker 1: I love one. I love a cause I do love
- 2:33Speaker 1: like that cause I do.
- 2:34Speaker 2: I love being able to use this platform for something good.
- 2:37Speaker 2: And I think that sounds very cliche. It's like, oh
- 2:39Speaker 2: big woo. No, I really do, though, And I thought
- 2:41Speaker 2: it was really fun because Abby and I just started
- 2:43Speaker 2: really working together and so we're getting to like see
- 2:47Speaker 2: new chapters of each other the more things that pop up.
- 2:50Speaker 2: And there's a couple things that I noted. One, our
- 2:53Speaker 2: energy levels are very different.
- 2:55Speaker 3: It took Radiothon for you to realize how different are
- 2:58Speaker 3: energy levels.
- 2:58Speaker 2: In a arre a thing about bonding and when there's
- 3:01Speaker 2: a certain thing of like being tired together, you see
- 3:04Speaker 2: different sides of somebody. We got real.
- 3:06Speaker 3: Loopy at one point, like I started making jokes about
- 3:09Speaker 3: screwing your dad, and that's when I knew I had
- 3:12Speaker 3: You might listen to the Hey Steve, Steve knows like
- 3:17Speaker 3: Steve and I were together last week. Oh my god,
- 3:20Speaker 3: Steve and I were texting right before we got on
- 3:22Speaker 3: the call.
- 3:23Speaker 1: I'm literally sweating.
- 3:24Speaker 2: He might be watching this live as we talk.
- 3:27Speaker 3: I know Steve and I are really close. My name.
- 3:31Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, we're in the middle of the radio thon
- 3:33Speaker 2: and it's like literally like let's raise money, let's help
- 3:35Speaker 2: these kids get like new chemo infusion chairs. And then
- 3:39Speaker 2: as soon as we go off the air, like Abby's
- 3:41Speaker 2: just super loopy, she's super tired, and she starts saying
- 3:44Speaker 2: things like that like, oh, that's what your dad said
- 3:46Speaker 2: last week.
- 3:48Speaker 1: I'm like, where did this come from?
- 3:50Speaker 2: And it just became so funny to see, like where
- 3:53Speaker 2: your mind goes when you get delusionally tired.
- 3:56Speaker 3: Yeah, that's definitely my sense of humor. But I think
- 3:59Speaker 3: it's also something it's a coping mechanism. I think I
- 4:01Speaker 3: picked up from Bird's Big Adventure, because we're all kind
- 4:05Speaker 3: of like that. Because Bird's Big Adventure, for those who
- 4:08Speaker 3: don't know what Birt's Big Adventure is, it's like a
- 4:10Speaker 3: five day trip where we take kids with chronic and
- 4:12Speaker 3: terminal illnesses to Disney and it's such a special trip.
- 4:15Speaker 3: And every year it becomes more special to me because
- 4:18Speaker 3: I love the people that I get to do it with.
- 4:20Speaker 3: But you start to really fully understand the impact it
- 4:24Speaker 3: has on these kids and these families, and so it
- 4:25Speaker 3: becomes more meaningful, which is why I was so hell
- 4:27Speaker 3: bent on going this year. But it is really physically
- 4:32Speaker 3: and emotionally taxing as well, and I kind of think
- 4:34Speaker 3: the only way to get through that is to have
- 4:37Speaker 3: like a dry, dark sense of humor, just to get
- 4:40Speaker 3: through how sad some of the moments can be. And
- 4:43Speaker 3: I was really comforted by the fact that we were
- 4:46Speaker 3: talking doctor beach Gim, who is that surgeon influencer who
- 4:49Speaker 3: works at Johns Hopkins also in this hospital, and I
- 4:52Speaker 3: was cracking some jokes with her on Thursday night after radiothon,
- 4:56Speaker 3: where again we're peak loopy. We've been up since four am,
- 5:00Speaker 3: and I made a joke and I was like, oh god,
- 5:01Speaker 3: I don't know if I should have made that joke
- 5:03Speaker 3: in front of a surgeon, and she goes, I'm really
- 5:05Speaker 3: glad the dark humor translates out of the surgery room
- 5:08Speaker 3: because I guess like, when you go through all this
- 5:10Speaker 3: kind of stuff constantly, you need to have some kind
- 5:12Speaker 3: of way to get through it in a way that
- 5:16Speaker 3: makes you laugh.
- 5:17Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we.
- 5:18Speaker 2: All have it. But also I think you said a
- 5:20Speaker 2: good thing during radiothon. You're like, we need to lighten
- 5:22Speaker 2: it up a little bit, Like you even had moments
- 5:24Speaker 2: where you're like, not so serious, And I need that
- 5:26Speaker 2: reminder too, because there is a balance. It should be serious,
- 5:30Speaker 2: it should be something that's driven for a cause, but
- 5:32Speaker 2: also if it's just so sad all the time, it
- 5:35Speaker 2: actually loses the effect. Because what I had to realize
- 5:39Speaker 2: as we're doing again it was my first time doing radiothon,
- 5:42Speaker 2: it's also a celebration. You're celebrating every time someone donates
- 5:46Speaker 2: because that's a difference in somebody else's life.
- 5:48Speaker 1: That's a difference for one of these kids.
- 5:50Speaker 2: So it's like, yes, the stories are very serious, but
- 5:53Speaker 2: the reason you're there is the celebration that's having an impact,
- 5:56Speaker 2: and so I honestly was super appreciative because you know,
- 5:58Speaker 2: you're lighthearted, dark humored jokes that are so like just
- 6:02Speaker 2: I never say those things out loud, you know.
- 6:04Speaker 3: I know, and I think I don't know. Radio. I
- 6:07Speaker 3: got into this industry because I liked that it was
- 6:10Speaker 3: accepting of maybe saying the thing that you're not supposed
- 6:14Speaker 3: to say, or to make a joke that might be
- 6:16Speaker 3: a little bit over the edge, but knowing that it's
- 6:18Speaker 3: all in good fun, if that makes sense. And I
- 6:21Speaker 3: was telling the folks at Burt's Big Adventure this weekend
- 6:23Speaker 3: because I was like, I missed you guys so much,
- 6:24Speaker 3: like our sense of humor and how we kind of
- 6:26Speaker 3: get through the week. I missed that so much because
- 6:28Speaker 3: I made a joke in front of Scotty and I
- 6:29Speaker 3: don't think you took it well. So we're on the
- 6:31Speaker 3: broadcast and radio thon again. It's raising money for Johns
- 6:35Speaker 3: Hopkins All Children's Hospital. I remember at some point on
- 6:37Speaker 3: here I go, yeah, we're raising money for Johns Hopkins
- 6:40Speaker 3: Old Children's Hospital. But like Scotty, I'm just here for
- 6:42Speaker 3: some of the kids, and Scott's like, I don't know
- 6:45Speaker 3: how to respond to this?
- 6:48Speaker 2: I like, you know what I mean.
- 6:48Speaker 3: I'm like, we're just oh, you know what I mean.
- 6:50Speaker 3: Like I'm here for some of them, you're here for
- 6:51Speaker 3: some of them, but together, it's all together.
- 6:54Speaker 2: I don't mean that literally, No, I don't think there
- 6:56Speaker 2: will be anything that you say that would truly like
- 6:58Speaker 2: upset me or like catch me so far off guard
- 7:02Speaker 2: that I don't know how to bounce back.
- 7:03Speaker 3: Do you want me to recap weekend with your dad?
- 7:04Speaker 3: Then no, that's how far we can go.
- 7:07Speaker 1: Tell me where did he take you? In beautiful verro Beach?
- 7:09Speaker 3: Oh? Where didn't he take me?
- 7:13Speaker 2: I love it because it's an element that I have
- 7:15Speaker 2: missed for so long, because like everybody in my life
- 7:18Speaker 2: has that sense of humor. So it's almost like because
- 7:20Speaker 2: I've done a show for a loon so long, but
- 7:22Speaker 2: I forget those elements of it that are so needed
- 7:25Speaker 2: because they bring you back to life, they kind of
- 7:26Speaker 2: juice you back up, and I think everyone has it,
- 7:28Speaker 2: Like my brother has a very dark sense of humor,
- 7:31Speaker 2: my dad has a very dark sense of humor on occasion.
- 7:33Speaker 2: And then the old show that was on like again,
- 7:35Speaker 2: it was the same thing. It was as soon as
- 7:37Speaker 2: the mics are off, I think a lot of I
- 7:39Speaker 2: was talking to him, who is it somebody in does
- 7:43Speaker 2: film for one of the big news stations here, and
- 7:45Speaker 2: he was saying the same thing. He's like, the biggest
- 7:48Speaker 2: news personalities as soon as they get off of a
- 7:51Speaker 2: very like serious newscast, like the jokes and the things
- 7:54Speaker 2: that they say are so dark.
- 7:56Speaker 1: If you're not used to it, you're a first.
- 7:57Speaker 2: Like, oh my god, like that is that's but I
- 8:01Speaker 2: think it's our way of balancing.
- 8:03Speaker 3: That's exactly what it is. It's like having a chaser
- 8:05Speaker 3: where god, I don't mean to compare charity to vodka,
- 8:11Speaker 3: but if you're constantly taking shots of vodka, it's just
- 8:14Speaker 3: it's it's hard. It's a hard pill to swallow, literally,
- 8:18Speaker 3: And so I think when you have those dry, dark
- 8:20Speaker 3: sense of humor moments, it's sort of like taking a
- 8:22Speaker 3: sip of water to kind of balance you out from
- 8:25Speaker 3: this serious news headlining person.
- 8:28Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say also like and transparency on the
- 8:30Speaker 2: emotions with it, Like, I feel like there's a lot
- 8:33Speaker 2: of pressure.
- 8:33Speaker 1: I felt that going into it.
- 8:35Speaker 2: You know, as we're setting it up and we're about
- 8:37Speaker 2: to go live and we've been talking about it for
- 8:38Speaker 2: a month.
- 8:39Speaker 1: You want to do the best that you possibly can.
- 8:42Speaker 2: And I felt that pressure internally, and I didn't want
- 8:45Speaker 2: to show it because I'm like, well, obviously we don't
- 8:48Speaker 2: know the outcome. We don't know what's gonna happen, we
- 8:49Speaker 2: don't know if anybody cares, and we don't know if
- 8:51Speaker 2: the things that we're saying are actually cutting through for
- 8:53Speaker 2: people to want to jump up and help. And so
- 8:55Speaker 2: anything that happens you take. I try not to, but
- 8:58Speaker 2: you take it personally. So like you know, in this case,
- 9:01Speaker 2: they brought you on to raise money for kids, and
- 9:04Speaker 2: if you're not hitting certain numbers, all of a sudden, internally,
- 9:07Speaker 2: it's I think the analogy of like taking a shot
- 9:09Speaker 2: of vodka. It's kind of like the amount of pressure
- 9:13Speaker 2: that you feel inside. You're like, it's on me. If
- 9:16Speaker 2: it hits the number, awesome, we did our job. If
- 9:19Speaker 2: it doesn't hit the number, ow is it me? Did
- 9:22Speaker 2: I not do a good job of making sure that
- 9:23Speaker 2: people understore the mission that we had at hand. I
- 9:27Speaker 2: don't know if everybody else in the room felt that,
- 9:30Speaker 2: but I knew going into that. I was like, I
- 9:32Speaker 2: was just taking it very personally. I'm glad it was
- 9:34Speaker 2: a success. I'm glad it was an amazing success. I
- 9:37Speaker 2: think we did an amazing job. We raised over two
- 9:39Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars, which every single dollar literally sounds like
- 9:43Speaker 2: we're doing it again.
- 9:44Speaker 1: But it all makes a difference. But you do have.
- 9:46Speaker 2: Goals, you do have a vision of what it wants
- 9:49Speaker 2: to look like, and so as the days going on,
- 9:52Speaker 2: some moments are good and some moments are like, dang it,
- 9:55Speaker 2: we're not hitting the number that we thought we would.
- 9:57Speaker 1: Is it me?
- 9:58Speaker 2: Am I the problem? That's the hard way to make.
- 10:01Speaker 3: This entire charity event about kids who are battling diseases
- 10:05Speaker 3: about you, scotty way to make it about you. I
- 10:08Speaker 3: was kidding, Well, if you did feel a lot of
- 10:10Speaker 3: pressure it it didn't show. I mean, there was even
- 10:12Speaker 3: a moment when we first started the broadcast I knew
- 10:15Speaker 3: to expect some kind of shit storm at some point.
- 10:17Speaker 3: Like I knew at some point something was gonna go wrong.
- 10:20Speaker 3: So when we cracked the mics and literally we're talking
- 10:24Speaker 3: over songs, not to any It wasn't our fault, it
- 10:27Speaker 3: was a production issue. I literally sat there and I
- 10:29Speaker 3: was like, I knew this was gonna happen. I was like,
- 10:31Speaker 3: I knew this was gonna happen. I expected this to happen.
- 10:33Speaker 3: They're gonna work through it at some point. And there
- 10:36Speaker 3: was a moment where I saw Scotty get a little
- 10:37Speaker 3: angry and I was like, I know he had that
- 10:39Speaker 3: gear because you're always You're always running on such a
- 10:42Speaker 3: high that I feel like sometimes I kind of have
- 10:45Speaker 3: to like drag you to like come, come.
- 10:47Speaker 1: Be the dark side.
- 10:51Speaker 3: Not the dark side, but you're you're so giddy and
- 10:53Speaker 3: happy that when I saw you get mad, I was like,
- 10:55Speaker 3: oh my god, he's human. He's human. Yeah, well, I know.
- 10:57Speaker 2: Our boss said the same thing. I am very human.
- 10:59Speaker 2: I have very angry moments. I also have very happy moments.
- 11:02Speaker 2: I also have very chill moments. But when you catch
- 11:05Speaker 2: me especially, I always try to say this, and I
- 11:07Speaker 2: don't know if it ever cuts through people, but when
- 11:09Speaker 2: I'm in a good environment, you're gonna see me at
- 11:10Speaker 2: my peak because I feel my peak. So if we're
- 11:13Speaker 2: doing something like interviewing people and we're talking and it's
- 11:15Speaker 2: like I'm going to field all the euphoria. But in
- 11:19Speaker 2: that moment and now we could pull the curtain back,
- 11:21Speaker 2: like as we kicked off the radiothon and we had
- 11:23Speaker 2: a bunch of issues behind the scenes that weren't letting
- 11:26Speaker 2: us get on the air. It's kind of like I
- 11:29Speaker 2: would compare it to an athlete. You're getting ready to play,
- 11:31Speaker 2: like the super Bowl, and you're so excited, you're so amped.
- 11:35Speaker 1: All I've been doing is thinking.
- 11:36Speaker 2: About what am I gonna say? Are the stories that
- 11:37Speaker 2: we're gonna bring that make sure it's and then it's
- 11:39Speaker 2: like a rain delay, and You're like all that.
- 11:42Speaker 1: Pent up emotion.
- 11:43Speaker 2: It's like it had nowhere to go, and so I'm
- 11:45Speaker 2: like trying to keep it cool because even at this
- 11:47Speaker 2: person here's the podcast, Like I knew it wasn't them.
- 11:49Speaker 2: I knew it was not the person on the other end.
- 11:51Speaker 2: I think it was a bigger issue of like not
- 11:54Speaker 2: being prepared, and then I just felt controllless. I was like,
- 11:57Speaker 2: there's nothing I could do. I can't go there and
- 12:00Speaker 2: show you how to do it. I can't make sure
- 12:01Speaker 2: we're connected. I just have to sit here and pray
- 12:04Speaker 2: and hope that whatever happens happens very quick. Because now
- 12:07Speaker 2: I have all this built up emotion and I have
- 12:11Speaker 2: nowhere to put it. So I felt like a bottle
- 12:13Speaker 2: that just got shook and I couldn't pop.
- 12:16Speaker 3: You did handle it very well. Thank you. I try
- 12:18Speaker 3: because I knew to expect something going wrong. I just
- 12:20Speaker 3: kind of had no emotions about it. I was like, well,
- 12:22Speaker 3: the food here is really good. I'm gonna get another cookie.
- 12:25Speaker 3: I'm like another cup of coffee. Here we go and
- 12:27Speaker 3: Scotty's trying to hold it together. But I thought you,
- 12:30Speaker 3: I mean, you could have been so much more mad
- 12:31Speaker 3: than you weren't.
- 12:32Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think it's because I've been in that
- 12:34Speaker 2: position too. Like as much as we're on this side
- 12:37Speaker 2: and talking on the mics, like, I've also been on
- 12:39Speaker 2: the other side where it's I'm the one making sure
- 12:41Speaker 2: people are connected and actually being on the air, And
- 12:43Speaker 2: I've been there where things are going wrong and you
- 12:45Speaker 2: have no idea and you're not really caught up and
- 12:47Speaker 2: learned how to do everything. And it is the worst
- 12:50Speaker 2: feeling to be the person that's like, I'm sorry, but
- 12:53Speaker 2: I don't know what's happening and I don't know how
- 12:55Speaker 2: to fix it, and you're talking to a radio personality
- 12:58Speaker 2: that's you know, a lot of people and radio are
- 13:00Speaker 2: very ego driven. I'm not ego driven. I'm just like
- 13:03Speaker 2: driven to be as good as I can in this industry.
- 13:07Speaker 1: So when I'm not able to do that, I'm like,
- 13:09Speaker 1: so I do.
- 13:10Speaker 2: My heart goes out to the person that was here
- 13:11Speaker 2: behind the scenes trying to fix it, because you could
- 13:14Speaker 2: hear like they were stressed, they were trying to put
- 13:16Speaker 2: it together, and I didn't want to show them that.
- 13:17Speaker 2: Like again, I wasn't them, I wasn't mad at them,
- 13:20Speaker 2: Like they're gonna learn that's a moment that they'll never
- 13:22Speaker 2: forget because I have moments just like that that I've
- 13:25Speaker 2: never forgotten.
- 13:26Speaker 1: How I've messed up. I've screwed up.
- 13:28Speaker 2: The entire radio station. Now everything is shut down before
- 13:30Speaker 2: and it's on me to turn it back on.
- 13:32Speaker 1: Those moments suck.
- 13:33Speaker 3: Yeah, And to give some credit to the guy who
- 13:35Speaker 3: was working the board, I felt like he stayed pretty calm,
- 13:38Speaker 3: cool and collected too, because we don't even know whose fault,
- 13:41Speaker 3: Like did somebody was somebody supposed to train him? Was
- 13:43Speaker 3: the board not set up? And I know how it
- 13:45Speaker 3: feels when you get blamed for something that's not your fault,
- 13:48Speaker 3: especially when you're in a position. We're on the tone pole,
- 13:50Speaker 3: you're at the bottom or whatever, try to learn. I
- 13:53Speaker 3: will never forget a diva moment I had with somebody
- 13:57Speaker 3: I was working with. And this is not at the
- 13:58Speaker 3: Bird Show. So if anyone's like, this was at the bart, No,
- 14:00Speaker 3: this is somewhere else. And it was my job to
- 14:03Speaker 3: get coffee, which I was like, this wasn't really my job,
- 14:06Speaker 3: but whatever. So I had to go to Starbucks and
- 14:09Speaker 3: I had to get coffee, and Starbucks screwed up this
- 14:12Speaker 3: personalities order and they thought they blamed it on me,
- 14:16Speaker 3: and they were so upset by it that they decided
- 14:18Speaker 3: to leave the coffee cup out as if it was
- 14:22Speaker 3: supposed to be mine, like waiting for me to come
- 14:25Speaker 3: get it. And they're like, oh, let your coffee. I said,
- 14:26Speaker 3: oh no, it's not mine. They must have just like
- 14:27Speaker 3: screwed it up, but like, I'm sorry, this is the
- 14:29Speaker 3: coffee they gave me. So literally, that coffee cup sat
- 14:32Speaker 3: on the production studio desk for months and they didn't
- 14:36Speaker 3: get rid of it, and this is this is really
- 14:38Speaker 3: great karma. That person then got fired. Oh and so
- 14:42Speaker 3: finally when we went to go throw it out, there
- 14:45Speaker 3: was all this mold and bacteria. It was disgusting. I
- 14:49Speaker 3: cannot believe it was sitting there for months, but I
- 14:51Speaker 3: thought I was like, I'm not, I'm not. It's not
- 14:53Speaker 3: my coffee, like you're the one that ordered it. I
- 14:55Speaker 3: did my job, job que, it's a cup of coffee.
- 14:57Speaker 3: It's a cup a cup of hop like you'll be fine.
- 14:59Speaker 3: Like there's literally a break room down the hall, like
- 15:01Speaker 3: go get your coffee.
- 15:02Speaker 2: Literally, Like that's why I think when you have those experiences,
- 15:05Speaker 2: you never want to treat someone like that. It's those
- 15:08Speaker 2: people like there's two lanes. I feel like people go down.
- 15:11Speaker 2: Either you got treated like crap and you're like, well,
- 15:13Speaker 2: then I get to treat someone like crap because you
- 15:15Speaker 2: got to go through what I went through. And then
- 15:17Speaker 2: there's people like this is how I look at it.
- 15:18Speaker 2: It's like when I have been in trouble or I
- 15:20Speaker 2: have done something dumb and I felt belittle the ooh
- 15:23Speaker 2: you want to make me mad, try to belittle me,
- 15:26Speaker 2: make me feel smaller than I am, Like it's happened
- 15:29Speaker 2: before in this building where someone tries to say something
- 15:31Speaker 2: to me and like I'll just cut your ass off.
- 15:34Speaker 2: Like I literally will be like all right, well that's
- 15:35Speaker 2: the last.
- 15:35Speaker 1: Time we talked. Because I'm not gonna be talked to
- 15:37Speaker 1: you like that.
- 15:37Speaker 3: I don't believe that for a second.
- 15:39Speaker 2: I'm telling you right now, I don't.
- 15:40Speaker 3: Know a single person in this building you have a
- 15:42Speaker 3: beef with that you refuse to talk to them or
- 15:44Speaker 3: are you not there yet? Because I felt like we
- 15:47Speaker 3: were mingling with everybody this weekend.
- 15:48Speaker 2: I could mingle with everybody, but there's also it takes.
- 15:52Speaker 2: Let's say there's there's somebody that I've worked with and
- 15:56Speaker 2: there's been conversations where they've tried to cut me down,
- 15:58Speaker 2: make me feel do and it's just the communication style.
- 16:00Speaker 3: How do they cut you down? Like, give me an example.
- 16:03Speaker 3: Let's see, and that's what's the person that I'm thinking about. Probably, mmm,
- 16:08Speaker 3: I'm giving you like telepathy?
- 16:10Speaker 2: Yes, I would say so, no, no, no, yeah, no
- 16:16Speaker 2: no not not not them, not them.
- 16:20Speaker 1: Let's see, let's see Disney Channel.
- 16:24Speaker 3: Okay, now I can't. You need to do this, I'll
- 16:26Speaker 3: tell you.
- 16:27Speaker 2: Because what really mattered was how they would like try
- 16:29Speaker 2: to explain if I mess something up, they'd be like,
- 16:31Speaker 2: how do you not know? Oh?
- 16:33Speaker 1: Do this?
- 16:34Speaker 3: I know exactly what you're talking about now.
- 16:36Speaker 2: And I'm like, I get it. But I'm also an adult.
- 16:39Speaker 2: Just talk to me as in how you would want
- 16:42Speaker 2: to be talked to. And so luckily, I've done a
- 16:44Speaker 2: lot of work on trying to like it's so crazy
- 16:47Speaker 2: to say, but I can be a hothead.
- 16:49Speaker 1: I used to be a hot head.
- 16:50Speaker 2: I've never seen be That's because I've done a lot
- 16:52Speaker 2: of work on making sure that side of me doesn't
- 16:54Speaker 2: come out. Because now I could process things quicker, I
- 16:57Speaker 2: can allow them to go through the whole process, and
- 17:00Speaker 2: then I could come out better.
- 17:01Speaker 1: So I don't hold grudges anymore.
- 17:03Speaker 2: But I clearly, well.
- 17:05Speaker 3: You don't seem the least bit mad about whoever was.
- 17:08Speaker 2: I let that moment sit, I let myself process, and
- 17:12Speaker 2: then I allowed myself to grow, and I can now
- 17:14Speaker 2: approach that person again. But there was a time period
- 17:16Speaker 2: I was like, I'll go to anybody else beside you.
- 17:18Speaker 2: I'm not gonna be treated like that. Don't talk to me.
- 17:20Speaker 2: I'm a grown man. If I was thirteen, that's different.
- 17:23Speaker 2: But even though I'd be even angry at thirteen, but
- 17:26Speaker 2: that's the quickest way, like, don't make me feel dumb.
- 17:28Speaker 2: And because of that experience, that's why anybody that goes
- 17:32Speaker 2: and tries to do something I mess up. I always
- 17:33Speaker 2: try to give them the most grace because I'm like,
- 17:35Speaker 2: I get it. You're taking it out on yourself more
- 17:39Speaker 2: than I could ever take it out on you.
- 17:42Speaker 1: So I'm gonna let.
- 17:43Speaker 2: You just have that moment and I know you'll never
- 17:44Speaker 2: forget it. And whoever it was that was here, I
- 17:47Speaker 2: love you, and I know that you're gonna learn, and
- 17:49Speaker 2: I know that you're okay. And I also want to
- 17:51Speaker 2: remind everybody in radio that we weren't doing brain surgery.
- 17:53Speaker 2: That was for the doctors there. We were just trying
- 17:55Speaker 2: to make sure there was awareness for it.
- 17:57Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's why I didn't feel too much
- 17:59Speaker 3: pressure because I'm sitting here. I'm like, our job is
- 18:01Speaker 3: just a chit chat and ask for money. That's our job.
- 18:03Speaker 3: And if there's some kind of production issue that's not
- 18:05Speaker 3: our job, they'll figure it out and then we can
- 18:07Speaker 3: do our job. But we were interviewing what a cardiothoracic
- 18:11Speaker 3: surgeon somebody who literally operates on hearts with catheters. I
- 18:15Speaker 3: don't even know how that sorcery works. But I'm sitting
- 18:18Speaker 3: there and I'm thinking, Yeah, your job's a big deal.
- 18:21Speaker 3: If something goes wrong, with your job. Yeah, that's a
- 18:24Speaker 3: big deal. If we don't yip yap to our yappiest capacity,
- 18:28Speaker 3: someone might just be a little sad and annoyed that day.
- 18:30Speaker 3: I think our job matters. That's why I do it.
- 18:33Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, you can only
- 18:35Speaker 3: control so much.
- 18:35Speaker 2: I wonder if it's just because I have this voice
- 18:37Speaker 2: in my head that's constantly telling me I'm not enough.
- 18:39Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not Scotty and it's me. I'm the voice,
- 18:43Speaker 3: And you're like, why is that voice constantly? It's because
- 18:45Speaker 3: I'm here. Do you follow me? Everybody?
- 18:47Speaker 1: You're not enough today?
- 18:49Speaker 3: It's just me.
- 18:50Speaker 2: It's like me trying to justify I guess I've done
- 18:53Speaker 2: work on that voice. But like, even in that room,
- 18:55Speaker 2: I'm like, we're around radio legends, and I'm like, I
- 18:57Speaker 2: want to make sure that I'm doing justice by the
- 18:58Speaker 2: people that have put belief in us. And so that's
- 19:01Speaker 2: the thought that I'm going into. I'm like, all right,
- 19:02Speaker 2: I hope. I don't know, like I want to be
- 19:04Speaker 2: the best, Like I want to be the best in
- 19:06Speaker 2: that room, even though there's people that have done it
- 19:07Speaker 2: longer than I've been. I live, So it's actually kind
- 19:10Speaker 2: of unfair to put that voice on me. That's a
- 19:11Speaker 2: therapy moment.
- 19:12Speaker 3: You know, I'll stop, I'll stop tearing you down. No,
- 19:15Speaker 3: I love it.
- 19:15Speaker 2: You could tear me down. I need to be torn down.
- 19:17Speaker 3: You're telling you you're not enough constantly. Well, you're terrible, Scotty.
- 19:21Speaker 2: The voice in my head is a lot meaner than
- 19:23Speaker 2: anything that anybody else could say.
- 19:24Speaker 3: So I like, you don't eat enough ground beef, Scotty.
- 19:26Speaker 2: I'll go eat another pound. I'll go put it in.
- 19:29Speaker 2: But there's also a difference between how you and I
- 19:31Speaker 2: handle criticism because you say online that's the thing that
- 19:35Speaker 2: you hate the most where it's like for me, I'm like,
- 19:37Speaker 2: you all can put the comments in the dms all
- 19:39Speaker 2: day because the voice in my head is way meaner.
- 19:41Speaker 1: So you can try.
- 19:43Speaker 3: Well, you like the engagement I do.
- 19:46Speaker 1: You're don't hate on my comments, go ahead because it
- 19:47Speaker 1: don't boost the post.
- 19:48Speaker 3: Well for me, I think I don't get a lot
- 19:53Speaker 3: of hate or criticism. But I did tell you, and
- 19:56Speaker 3: I knew this was going to happen. I said, I
- 19:57Speaker 3: knew the when the Burt Show ended, I knew I
- 20:00Speaker 3: was going to see an uptick in cattiness or meanness
- 20:04Speaker 3: or pettiness just because comments, you lose that relationship with people.
- 20:09Speaker 3: And I think when you lose a relationship with somebody,
- 20:13Speaker 3: they stop giving you the benefit of the doubt or
- 20:15Speaker 3: they start picking you apart more. And I think that's
- 20:19Speaker 3: been one of the tougher parts of the transition, is like,
- 20:21Speaker 3: not only did you lose a job, but you're also
- 20:22Speaker 3: sort of losing the relationships that you've built and you're
- 20:26Speaker 3: gonna get like a different side of me on different
- 20:28Speaker 3: podcasts and stuff, and like maybe I don't know, maybe
- 20:30Speaker 3: the magic side of me isn't as likable as I
- 20:32Speaker 3: was on the Bird Show, And so I think there's
- 20:34Speaker 3: a toughness there where when I get a DM where
- 20:37Speaker 3: it's like, uh, I can't believe you said that. Unfollow.
- 20:40Speaker 3: It's not that it bothers me, but it is kind
- 20:43Speaker 3: of a reminder that my life has changed a lot
- 20:46Speaker 3: in the last six months. And that's what I don't necessarily.
- 20:48Speaker 1: Like, yeah, no, I've seen that.
- 20:49Speaker 2: I mean because I was on another big show too,
- 20:51Speaker 2: and when that show left, it was very interesting to see,
- 20:54Speaker 2: like there's a moment where I saw people like pick
- 20:57Speaker 2: a side. I was like, y'all, don't have to pick
- 20:58Speaker 2: a side side to take. There was no side to take.
- 21:01Speaker 2: You could literally like everybody here. But it felt like
- 21:04Speaker 2: because people are upset, they have to lash out in
- 21:08Speaker 2: order to justify their feelings.
- 21:09Speaker 1: It's kind of like a this is you know, I
- 21:11Speaker 1: don't want to.
- 21:13Speaker 2: When a kid gets upset and they don't know how
- 21:16Speaker 2: to process their feelings, so they're just gonna say something
- 21:18Speaker 2: or do something out of just pure emotion, even though
- 21:22Speaker 2: it might hurt somebody else. And I've seen that, like
- 21:24Speaker 2: when I first took over at the time it was
- 21:25Speaker 2: hot one one five, and I was like looking at
- 21:27Speaker 2: the comments and I'm like trying to do my own show.
- 21:29Speaker 2: Like what people didn't realize is I was like, for
- 21:31Speaker 2: the first time ever, trying to do a show on
- 21:33Speaker 2: the biggest time ever in Tampa Bay, the biggest market,
- 21:36Speaker 2: like and then there's comments that are like, oh, you're
- 21:38Speaker 2: just not as good as the others.
- 21:40Speaker 1: You just never be as good as them. M M.
- 21:42Speaker 2: Can't listen to this. It is not what it used
- 21:43Speaker 2: to be. And I'm like, damn, y'all are ruthless. You
- 21:48Speaker 2: supported me for years and now like I finally get
- 21:50Speaker 2: my shot, and it's almost like people took it out
- 21:53Speaker 2: on me because I was the reason like the show split,
- 21:56Speaker 2: which was like, I don't even know how that makes
- 21:58Speaker 2: sense in general, but you weren't the reason in the show, correct,
- 22:01Speaker 2: But I was the only one left in this area.
- 22:04Speaker 2: And so there was a lot of that where it's
- 22:05Speaker 2: like people were upset and they didn't know how to
- 22:07Speaker 2: process it. So instead they're like, well, I'll just make
- 22:10Speaker 2: a comment that I don't know how to process my
- 22:12Speaker 2: feelings and I'm just going to put it here because
- 22:14Speaker 2: I'm mad, And I'm like, wow, that hurts. I'm already
- 22:17Speaker 2: doubting myself and now you're making me doubt myself even more.
- 22:21Speaker 3: It's the biggest it's the biggest like or the biggest
- 22:23Speaker 3: lesson you have to learn in this kind of industry,
- 22:26Speaker 3: or I think just as a person in general, is
- 22:28Speaker 3: a lot of times you're just the lightning rod for that. Like, yeah,
- 22:30Speaker 3: whatever emotion someone's feeling or it really has nothing to
- 22:33Speaker 3: do with you. You just kind of represent whatever emotion they're feeling.
- 22:37Speaker 2: Correct. Well, that's what we see a lot with, you know.
- 22:39Speaker 2: And I don't compare myself to like big celebrities, but
- 22:41Speaker 2: like when you see like somebody justin Bieber online. And
- 22:45Speaker 2: so if you go through their comments, oh my god,
- 22:48Speaker 2: it's a bloodbath because people are just upset about anything
- 22:51Speaker 2: and they're like, well, this is a good person to
- 22:52Speaker 2: take it out because I don't see them as human.
- 22:55Speaker 2: But it's not fair to still the person, and especially
- 22:57Speaker 2: not like somebody like you or I that's like, y'all,
- 22:59Speaker 2: we literally looked all or comments. We can see what
- 23:02Speaker 2: you're trying to say, and sometimes those cutting words are
- 23:05Speaker 2: pretty cutting and they hurt. But we are that lightning
- 23:08Speaker 2: rod for someone else to just get it off their chest.
- 23:11Speaker 2: So I know that kind of sucks because I feel like,
- 23:13Speaker 2: right now, that is that transition that you're going to
- 23:15Speaker 2: see more and more of. And I don't know if
- 23:16Speaker 2: that's something that like if you have to put a
- 23:18Speaker 2: boundary up of looking at your comments or looking at
- 23:20Speaker 2: your DMS or having somebody else do it.
- 23:22Speaker 3: Yeah, well, it's not frequent enough for me to be
- 23:24Speaker 3: upset by it, but it will catch me off guard
- 23:26Speaker 3: because it's not something I'm particularly used to. We had
- 23:29Speaker 3: a Facebook page where people would kind of that's where
- 23:32Speaker 3: the vitriol would go, and I just had a boundary
- 23:34Speaker 3: with myself to never go to the Facebook page, which
- 23:37Speaker 3: I'm actually really impressed with myself. I'm like, in two
- 23:38Speaker 3: and a half years, I really never went to that
- 23:40Speaker 3: Facebook page. But I think the other thing I had
- 23:44Speaker 3: a hard time with in terms of just getting more
- 23:47Speaker 3: of a following as well, is the dehumanization that people
- 23:51Speaker 3: think they can project onto you when you reach a
- 23:54Speaker 3: certain level. And I'm always wondering what that threshold is
- 23:57Speaker 3: where I feel like, in the beginning, I expect it
- 24:00Speaker 3: when I joined the show that I was on to
- 24:02Speaker 3: receive a lot of hate or a lot of criticism,
- 24:04Speaker 3: like she's not the right person, blah blah blah, and
- 24:06Speaker 3: I feel like that wasn't really the case. But the
- 24:09Speaker 3: more people see you as a quote unquote public figure,
- 24:12Speaker 3: a public facing figure or whatever, they're more comfortable removing
- 24:18Speaker 3: your humanness to where they'll just start talking with about
- 24:21Speaker 3: you in your comment section with other people. I'm like,
- 24:25Speaker 3: this is my Instagram, I see it. I'm watching you
- 24:28Speaker 3: guys talk about I'm like, you would never comment on
- 24:31Speaker 3: a friend's post being like, oh that outfit that she's wearing,
- 24:34Speaker 3: and then all these other people having this discussion. I'm like,
- 24:36Speaker 3: so at what point It's fascinating to me, I'm like,
- 24:39Speaker 3: when do you reach that level of where you get
- 24:42Speaker 3: to be dehumanized by people? Like when does that flip
- 24:46Speaker 3: switch for people?
- 24:47Speaker 2: I feel like when it's you're now somebody that people
- 24:49Speaker 2: follow just because people follow you.
- 24:51Speaker 3: Maybe yeah, But I just don't know when that happens,
- 24:54Speaker 3: because I think I was pretty safe from it for
- 24:56Speaker 3: a while because they follow you because they like the show.
- 24:59Speaker 3: Otherwise they're not following you. Yeah, but then maybe it's
- 25:02Speaker 3: like a snowball effect to where then people just see
- 25:04Speaker 3: you on the internet after you go viral a couple
- 25:06Speaker 3: of times, and they're like, oh, well, she has thirty
- 25:07Speaker 3: thousand followers.
- 25:08Speaker 2: That's why I like to reply back to comments because
- 25:10Speaker 2: I'm like, hey, by the way, just so you know, one,
- 25:13Speaker 2: I want to comment back because I want to acknowledge you.
- 25:14Speaker 2: But two, just in case you ever thought that I
- 25:16Speaker 2: don't actually see it, this is me.
- 25:18Speaker 1: It's me and my dms, it's me and my comments.
- 25:20Speaker 1: It is all me.
- 25:21Speaker 3: But then people get mad at you for acknowledging it.
- 25:23Speaker 3: They're like, well, this is just a part of the job.
- 25:24Speaker 3: If you can't handle it stuff doing the job, yeah,
- 25:26Speaker 3: And I'm like, well, there's boundaries in every career, and
- 25:29Speaker 3: for me, this is a boundary. If you're going to
- 25:31Speaker 3: say mean things, you don't have to be here, like
- 25:34Speaker 3: my my personal instagram is not a billboard for your
- 25:38Speaker 3: hatred for me. If you I think I didn't care
- 25:41Speaker 3: so much about the Facebook page that we had when
- 25:43Speaker 3: people would talk about us on the Facebook page, because
- 25:45Speaker 3: I'm like, that is an area for you to have
- 25:48Speaker 3: discussion or opinions about us, and that's not a place
- 25:50Speaker 3: for me to then police how you feel about my opinion. Yeah, yeah,
- 25:53Speaker 3: that's because that's not my place. But on my Instagram,
- 25:57Speaker 3: you're not going to come into my house literally and
- 26:00Speaker 3: be like you look ugly here or whatever, like you're
- 26:02Speaker 3: in my house, you get to get then you I
- 26:05Speaker 3: don't need you here. There's twenty six point nine thousand
- 26:08Speaker 3: other people here. You're welcome to leave.
- 26:11Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think that's where I look at it.
- 26:12Speaker 2: I'm like, Okay, it's very far and few between. It's like, man,
- 26:15Speaker 2: you gotta be It's like you're going through potatoes. There's
- 26:17Speaker 2: always gonna be a rotten potato. I've never been a farmer,
- 26:20Speaker 2: but I'm sure that's what it's like picking up all
- 26:22Speaker 2: these spuds out the ground. You're like, dang it, this
- 26:24Speaker 2: one's rotten and you're not gonna keep it. And that's
- 26:27Speaker 2: why people get unfollowed or blocked because it's like, well,
- 26:29Speaker 2: you're a rotten potato. You're gonna mess up this whole
- 26:32Speaker 2: batch toss.
- 26:34Speaker 3: That's kind of how of all the produce you wanted
- 26:36Speaker 3: to compare us to white potatoes, gotti.
- 26:38Speaker 2: Because potatoes are really healthy and I feel like we're healthy.
- 26:41Speaker 2: We're a healthy dose for people big.
- 26:42Speaker 3: Blood sugar spikes.
- 26:43Speaker 2: Except well, now, like a sweet potato, vitamins, a nutrient
- 26:46Speaker 2: rich and something that's a good carb to keep it
- 26:47Speaker 2: going all day.
- 26:48Speaker 3: If you were a prepared potato, fried, baked, or whatever,
- 26:52Speaker 3: what kind of potato would you be?
- 26:54Speaker 2: Oh that's a good one. I'm gonna say if I was,
- 26:56Speaker 2: I would be a m My mind's going to a
- 27:00Speaker 2: hash brown No no, no, Like you go to let's say,
- 27:05Speaker 2: Cracker Barrel and they give you a whole plate of
- 27:07Speaker 2: hash browns and so I'll cut up and all because
- 27:09Speaker 2: I wanted to feel like you just can't get enough.
- 27:12Speaker 2: As soon as you take a bite, you're like, I
- 27:13Speaker 2: can't wait for another, And you know it's not really
- 27:16Speaker 2: the best for you all the time, but when you
- 27:18Speaker 2: get that dose, it just hits. Like as much as
- 27:20Speaker 2: I want to compare myself to the way I cooked potatoes,
- 27:22Speaker 2: which is a boring sweet potato and an oven, that's it,
- 27:25Speaker 2: I just eat it like an apple. I'd rather be
- 27:28Speaker 2: the hash brown, the one that literally everyone likes, the
- 27:30Speaker 2: one that you put a little dose of ketchup or
- 27:32Speaker 2: mustard on, and oh, it takes you to times that
- 27:36Speaker 2: you never want to escape.
- 27:37Speaker 3: I know how that feels. It's me and your dad
- 27:39Speaker 3: every week. All right.
- 27:41Speaker 2: Let me talk about Disney though, because you went to
- 27:42Speaker 2: Disney this past weekend.
- 27:44Speaker 1: How was it?
- 27:45Speaker 2: Oh? So, what parks did you hit?
- 27:46Speaker 1: What rides did you hit? Well?
- 27:48Speaker 3: For me, going was less about enjoyment and more about
- 27:51Speaker 3: being a part of Birt's big adventure again. So I
- 27:54Speaker 3: was gonna try and go for the whole trip, but
- 27:56Speaker 3: I work here now, so I can't.
- 27:58Speaker 1: Thanks for being my coworker, I know.
- 28:00Speaker 3: I'm about saying like people keep dming me. They're like,
- 28:02Speaker 3: why aren't you at BBA. I'm like you, guys, I'm
- 28:04Speaker 3: at Radiothon for the job that pays me.
- 28:07Speaker 1: He's got a job, y'all.
- 28:08Speaker 3: I'm raising money for the children's hospital here in Saint
- 28:12Speaker 3: Petersburg for the job that I have now. Anyway, God Love,
- 28:16Speaker 3: I'm very sweet. Thank you for carrying it that I'm
- 28:18Speaker 3: at BBA. Yes, but I literally bought two park tickets
- 28:22Speaker 3: so that I could just be at BBA because I'm like,
- 28:25Speaker 3: I know, I'm not really doing anything for them anymore,
- 28:27Speaker 3: so I'm like, I'll buy the ticket, you know, I'll
- 28:30Speaker 3: go down and I'll see them. So I went down
- 28:32Speaker 3: to Hollywood Studios on Saturday around noon. Oh my god,
- 28:35Speaker 3: it was the hottest I've ever been at Disney, by
- 28:37Speaker 3: the way, which was a shock. I was like, why
- 28:39Speaker 3: is it ninety eight degrees?
- 28:40Speaker 1: And welcome back to it?
- 28:41Speaker 3: And I just followed around some of the photographers, met
- 28:43Speaker 3: some of the families, got to hear about some of
- 28:46Speaker 3: the adventures I missed out on, and you know, just
- 28:49Speaker 3: some of the kids' stories and stuff, and I just
- 28:51Speaker 3: I really love that crew, Like they're just really good,
- 28:53Speaker 3: kind hearted people.
- 28:54Speaker 2: That was all there. I don't know all the show casts,
- 28:57Speaker 2: but I know Bert.
- 28:58Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean Bert's Big Adventure. The staff and
- 29:00Speaker 3: the volunteers is huge, really, and I didn't it's funny
- 29:03Speaker 3: because it is a little culty like. I didn't get
- 29:05Speaker 3: it because I remember when I first joined the show,
- 29:08Speaker 3: I would go to these reunions and I always felt
- 29:11Speaker 3: so out of place, and I was just like, I
- 29:15Speaker 3: don't know anybody here other than the staff or the
- 29:18Speaker 3: people that are on air with me. I don't know
- 29:20Speaker 3: any of these kids, And just kind of slowly you
- 29:22Speaker 3: start to get to know the families and the kids,
- 29:24Speaker 3: and then you go on the trip and it's I
- 29:28Speaker 3: hate to compare it to summer camp, but it's a
- 29:29Speaker 3: very summer camp bonding experience.
- 29:31Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 29:32Speaker 3: I think it's that way for the kids, and I
- 29:34Speaker 3: think it's that way for the staff as well. And
- 29:37Speaker 3: I think a lot of people can hear what we
- 29:40Speaker 3: did for Radiothon, which is raising money directly for a hospital,
- 29:43Speaker 3: and then see something like Birt's Big Adventure and be like, oh,
- 29:45Speaker 3: why don't we just give money straight to the hospital
- 29:47Speaker 3: like with Radiothon, Like what's the whole deal with taking
- 29:49Speaker 3: these kids to Disney like that? It seems like such
- 29:52Speaker 3: a waste of money, like just to take them to.
- 29:53Speaker 2: Disney for a week.
- 29:54Speaker 3: But I think, ultimately, and I feel very strongly about
- 29:58Speaker 3: this now that I've been three years is it's not
- 30:02Speaker 3: really about the trip, like taking them to Disney, It's
- 30:06Speaker 3: about the relationships that get formed while you're on the trip,
- 30:09Speaker 3: and that was a really big thing for this year
- 30:13Speaker 3: in particular. There were a lot of boys, and a
- 30:15Speaker 3: lot of very emotionally intelligent boys, like they were asking
- 30:18Speaker 3: each other about their disabilities and bonding over going through
- 30:22Speaker 3: similar things. And ultimately, what you're gifting these people is community.
- 30:29Speaker 3: And sometimes it takes a summer camp seemingly frivolous experience
- 30:33Speaker 3: to be able to take those relationships outside of it.
- 30:36Speaker 3: And obviously what we did with Radiothon is so so
- 30:39Speaker 3: important and razing actually things that will actually help them
- 30:42Speaker 3: get treated and stuff. But the community is important as well,
- 30:46Speaker 3: and I think anybody can relate to feeling isolated or
- 30:48Speaker 3: feeling like nobody gets what you're going through and how
- 30:51Speaker 3: detrimental that can be for your health, your mental health.
- 30:54Speaker 3: And really Bird's big adventure is the gift of community
- 30:57Speaker 3: and helping them bond with their family in a way
- 31:00Speaker 3: that they wouldn't normally get to because when you have
- 31:04Speaker 3: a disability or you're battling something, life is never normal.
- 31:08Speaker 3: And we try to make it as normal as possible.
- 31:09Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think it's the sense, like you said, communities, everything,
- 31:12Speaker 2: and sometimes it's nice just to be taken out of
- 31:14Speaker 2: that environment that you're used to. And especially like we
- 31:16Speaker 2: could compare the two. It's we were at the hospital
- 31:19Speaker 2: bringing funds directly into the hospital, but there's also a
- 31:22Speaker 2: bond that happens when we actually get to talk to
- 31:24Speaker 2: the patients. It's not just raising money, but even you know,
- 31:28Speaker 2: we would talk to Marina who's like, all of a sudden,
- 31:31Speaker 2: like a friend, like she's posting about us on the show.
- 31:33Speaker 2: Like those things, those connections have a bigger impact than
- 31:37Speaker 2: just saying, hey, we're raising money. That's why, like whenever
- 31:39Speaker 2: I do a fundraiser, I love to just be able
- 31:41Speaker 2: to actually interact with the people that i'm fundraising four
- 31:44Speaker 2: Because it's not just hey give me money. It's no, hey,
- 31:47Speaker 2: here's a personal relationship and that we actually get to
- 31:50Speaker 2: help and get to cultivate. And I think those impact,
- 31:54Speaker 2: you know, if not fifty to fifty even more than
- 31:56Speaker 2: just monetary because money goes a long way. It's awesome,
- 31:58Speaker 2: it's what we gets to the treatment, gets the things done.
- 32:01Speaker 2: But a connection, a bond is something that somebody holds
- 32:04Speaker 2: in their heart forever, and those are the things that
- 32:07Speaker 2: you can't let go of. Those are things that we
- 32:09Speaker 2: had a family day here where a lot of the families,
- 32:11Speaker 2: a lot of the patients that we were going to
- 32:13Speaker 2: go fundraise for for the radiothon here at the radio station.
- 32:16Speaker 2: We were meeting the families, we were talking to the kids,
- 32:18Speaker 2: we were bringing them into the show to actually put
- 32:20Speaker 2: them on the air those bonds, to see them light up.
- 32:25Speaker 2: You know, that's a lifetime experience that will just never forget.
- 32:27Speaker 2: Those go even further than if I was just to
- 32:31Speaker 2: tell them, yeah, we rais two hundred thousand dollars for
- 32:33Speaker 2: the hospital. They're like, yeah, that's incredible, thank you for helping.
- 32:36Speaker 2: But the difference is then we bring them into the
- 32:38Speaker 2: radio station. They're on the air, talking on the radio,
- 32:40Speaker 2: and they're like, that's something I'll never forget. That's a
- 32:43Speaker 2: cool experience. And I like the fact that you said
- 32:45Speaker 2: talking to other people that have been in their shoes
- 32:48Speaker 2: that know what it's like that they could bond over,
- 32:51Speaker 2: because don't we all do that when there's something happening
- 32:53Speaker 2: in our lives. It gives us a sense of one community,
- 32:56Speaker 2: but also understanding when someone else says, you know, yeah,
- 32:59Speaker 2: I've been there too, or I know what it's like.
- 33:02Speaker 2: Do you ever go through this, and they're like, oh
- 33:04Speaker 2: my gosh, Finally someone gets the feeling, you know, because
- 33:08Speaker 2: sometimes I bet it's you know, and everyone has this
- 33:10Speaker 2: in different elements of their life where they're going through
- 33:13Speaker 2: something and it just feels like they're just on this
- 33:15Speaker 2: isolated island that even when they bring it up, people
- 33:18Speaker 2: say they understand, but they don't understand. I'm sure it
- 33:21Speaker 2: has to be so great for these kids and these
- 33:22Speaker 2: families to say no, no, no, no.
- 33:24Speaker 3: We understand.
- 33:25Speaker 2: You know. It's like there's the heartfelt moments, but there's
- 33:27Speaker 2: also probably a moment where they all could laugh together
- 33:29Speaker 2: and they're like, gosh, it is so nice to see
- 33:32Speaker 2: we are just not alone, because that part sucks.
- 33:34Speaker 3: Yeah, I sense it belongings really important, and you know,
- 33:36Speaker 3: all roads lead back to Punch the Monkey. But I
- 33:39Speaker 3: was crying this morning because you were showing me that
- 33:42Speaker 3: video Punch the Monkey who got rescued by that zoo?
- 33:45Speaker 3: In what country is it?
- 33:46Speaker 2: It's somewhere in Asia. I don't know exactly where it's at.
- 33:50Speaker 3: Yeah, so anyway, there's this video going around, well there's
- 33:52Speaker 3: multiple videos going around, but it's this monkey that was
- 33:54Speaker 3: abandoned by its mom. It's been rejected by the rest
- 33:57Speaker 3: of the monkey pack. And there's even this video this
- 34:03Speaker 3: of Punch getting thrown down by the other monkeys because
- 34:06Speaker 3: for whatever reason, they don't like this one monkey. They
- 34:08Speaker 3: don't like Punch, and he's there's another video where he's
- 34:13Speaker 3: clinging on to this little orange stuffed animal. And I
- 34:16Speaker 3: think it's resonating with people so much because we all
- 34:19Speaker 3: know what it feels like at some point or another
- 34:22Speaker 3: to feel rejected or isolated or that we don't belong.
- 34:26Speaker 3: My god, I'm like tearing up thinking about it. And
- 34:29Speaker 3: it's I think that's why people are like, we need
- 34:31Speaker 3: to find Punch some little monkey friends, some real, real
- 34:36Speaker 3: life animals that will be friends with him. And yeah,
- 34:39Speaker 3: I don't really know why I was going with this,
- 34:40Speaker 3: but he's reminded me of Punch the monkey.
- 34:42Speaker 2: No, it is true though, because it's you know, I
- 34:44Speaker 2: think we could all we all have that fear of
- 34:46Speaker 2: being rejected and then to see it play out, we
- 34:49Speaker 2: all go back to a memory of what it's like.
- 34:51Speaker 2: I think it's very human of us to have that
- 34:53Speaker 2: moment of I mean I remember literally being in fourth
- 34:56Speaker 2: grade where it's like a group of friends are like
- 34:58Speaker 2: and Scott doesn't exist, and I'm like, ah, that's funny,
- 35:02Speaker 2: and they would go days or I'm like, guys, the
- 35:06Speaker 2: joke's fucking over, like ha ha, you know, it would
- 35:10Speaker 2: be nice to be seen again, and then it would
- 35:12Speaker 2: just carry on and it was all like this one
- 35:14Speaker 2: dude who was like my quote unquote best friend at
- 35:16Speaker 2: the time, who would just lead the pack into don't
- 35:19Speaker 2: talk to him, don't even interact with him, make him
- 35:22Speaker 2: feel invisible. And then you see this monkey and you're like, man,
- 35:26Speaker 2: why do we all connect with that? Because we all
- 35:28Speaker 2: know what it's like to either have a friendship end
- 35:31Speaker 2: or a relationship end, or a moment where you feel
- 35:33Speaker 2: like you're not enough, where you're kicked out of your group,
- 35:35Speaker 2: where you're changing parts of your life or different chapters.
- 35:39Speaker 2: And it feels very similar where it's like I'm just
- 35:42Speaker 2: not enough. I'm getting thrown out by the people that
- 35:46Speaker 2: could actually be there for me. There's either the ones
- 35:49Speaker 2: that accept me or the ones that reject me. And
- 35:50Speaker 2: you're seeing literally in real time what it played out
- 35:54Speaker 2: for that little monkey name Punch that it's way more
- 35:57Speaker 2: than just that monkey. I think it's all of us
- 36:00Speaker 2: have had that moment.
- 36:01Speaker 3: Well, you're all punched the monkey.
- 36:03Speaker 1: We have all been punched the monkey.
- 36:05Speaker 3: We've all been punched the monkey. So I don't know
- 36:06Speaker 3: how we can find some little monkey friends for Punch.
- 36:09Speaker 1: But well, I saw an updates.
- 36:10Speaker 3: I'm starting to go fund me. I'm I know we're
- 36:13Speaker 3: all raising money for James Vanderbeek and Eric Dane's families
- 36:15Speaker 3: right now, but you know what.
- 36:17Speaker 2: Punch the monkeys. He deserves the dollar.
- 36:20Speaker 3: We need to raise money for Punch.
- 36:21Speaker 2: Well, we know those stuffed animals like sold out immediately,
- 36:23Speaker 2: people were selling them. I think they're out a Kia
- 36:25Speaker 2: and because everyone I should have invested in freaking Ikea.
- 36:28Speaker 2: But people saw this monkey with the stuffed animal, and
- 36:30Speaker 2: so they literally sold out like that. I wish those
- 36:33Speaker 2: proceeds went to Punch the monkey I went to. I
- 36:36Speaker 2: wish they went to his gofund me. I wish they
- 36:37Speaker 2: had a different effect. But I did see something that
- 36:40Speaker 2: apparently he's got like more connections happening now, like he's
- 36:43Speaker 2: making new friends.
- 36:44Speaker 3: Good, He's like the new I almost compared him to Harambe.
- 36:47Speaker 3: But no, that's not right, that's not right. Oh, Moodang
- 36:51Speaker 3: Fu Dang the pig, the pigmy hippo, except Moodang became
- 36:55Speaker 3: like Beyonce and I feel like Punch is like, oh
- 36:57Speaker 3: we go back room.
- 36:58Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 36:58Speaker 1: No, Moodang was just a cute little hip.
- 37:00Speaker 3: And then the penguin, what do you think they're up to?
- 37:03Speaker 3: Where are they now? Where are moo Dang? And Pesta
- 37:07Speaker 3: the penguin? Who the heck is Pesto? You didn't know?
- 37:09Speaker 3: My god, let me tell you about the lore.
- 37:11Speaker 1: Is that the one that went to the mountains.
- 37:12Speaker 3: It was like this big ass penguin, this big penguin.
- 37:17Speaker 3: It was so big and so furry that they're like,
- 37:19Speaker 3: oh my god, Pesto is gargantuan. We love Pesto. It's like,
- 37:23Speaker 3: Moodang is this typical? Such such misogyny, Moodang the cute
- 37:27Speaker 3: little pygmy hippo, the girl. They're like, oh, let's praise
- 37:30Speaker 3: or being so small and baby like, and the pest
- 37:32Speaker 3: show so bid, Let's praise for reds o. Big big
- 37:36Speaker 3: gender roles playing out in the wild.
- 37:37Speaker 2: We really bought into a lot of animals like we
- 37:40Speaker 2: really associate with them, because I associated with the penguin
- 37:43Speaker 2: that wanted to go to the mountains.
- 37:43Speaker 1: Did you see that one?
- 37:44Speaker 3: Oh, we're all animals. We can all relate to being
- 37:48Speaker 3: out in the wild objected by our mothers.
- 37:51Speaker 2: Not talking rejection anymore. Going back to when you went
- 37:54Speaker 2: around Epcot the first case, So Sunday was more of
- 37:57Speaker 2: like a fun day at Disney, correct.
- 37:58Speaker 3: Yeah, Sunday is the day that we can specifically for families.
- 38:01Speaker 3: Because I will say that was one of the harder
- 38:03Speaker 3: parts I had with Birt's Big Adventure is I think
- 38:06Speaker 3: it is maybe possible to have a little bit too
- 38:08Speaker 3: much self defference where a lot of being a part
- 38:11Speaker 3: of Bird's Big Adventure as an on air staff members,
- 38:14Speaker 3: they really want to get like content with you and
- 38:16Speaker 3: the kids and stuff. And I always felt very I
- 38:18Speaker 3: always felt like I was crashing a family's vacation. Oh yeah,
- 38:22Speaker 3: I specifically felt that more in the second year. And
- 38:24Speaker 3: I think it does change year to year based off
- 38:26Speaker 3: like the families and just like the personalities and the dynamics.
- 38:30Speaker 3: And I always had a little bit of a hard
- 38:32Speaker 3: time inserting myself because I never wanted it to be
- 38:34Speaker 3: like me, me, me, me, get a picture with me.
- 38:36Speaker 3: And I know you need that to an extent for
- 38:39Speaker 3: photos and stuff, and there's there's definitely a role that
- 38:41Speaker 3: you have to play. But I always felt very weird
- 38:43Speaker 3: doing that, or I wasn't. I felt uncomfortable in the
- 38:46Speaker 3: sense that I should have just been like, oh no,
- 38:48Speaker 3: like I'm on this adventure too, like you know, self
- 38:51Speaker 3: insert yourself a little bit more. But the second day
- 38:55Speaker 3: is where we really give families the time to just
- 38:57Speaker 3: be without the volunteers enjoy it. Like you don't have
- 39:00Speaker 3: to worry about, you know, making small talk with a
- 39:03Speaker 3: stranger or volunteer, Like you guys can just kind of
- 39:05Speaker 3: do whatever, and we're gonna go to Epcot.
- 39:07Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna go drink around the world.
- 39:09Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's what I mean. You know, we all
- 39:11Speaker 3: just kind of bop around and get brunch and and
- 39:13Speaker 3: tell stories about the week with with staff and stuff.
- 39:16Speaker 3: So it's fun.
- 39:17Speaker 1: How many drinks did you have at Epcot?
- 39:20Speaker 3: Not that many, because I I didn't want to go
- 39:22Speaker 3: crazy because I was like, I know, I need to
- 39:23Speaker 3: be back into far.
- 39:24Speaker 2: On a Sunday Funday at Ecot, I know, But.
- 39:27Speaker 3: I told myself I was like you can enjoy yourself
- 39:29Speaker 3: and then at a certain time you have to stop
- 39:31Speaker 3: and you can only have so many because you know what.
- 39:33Speaker 1: Route did you start?
- 39:34Speaker 2: Did you start by going Canada or do you start
- 39:36Speaker 2: left by going Mexico.
- 39:37Speaker 3: Oh here, let me say, let you rack my brain
- 39:39Speaker 3: where we did start? Okay? So I had an aperol
- 39:40Speaker 3: sprits at brunch and then I had one of the
- 39:43Speaker 3: Disney sized glasses of wine at in England. I went
- 39:49Speaker 3: to England. We love starting in England because you can
- 39:52Speaker 3: just go to the past. Well, no, Canada is at
- 39:54Speaker 3: the front.
- 39:55Speaker 2: Yeah, you know you had to pass.
- 39:56Speaker 3: No, no, no. We started from the boardwalk entrance h
- 40:01Speaker 3: by France.
- 40:02Speaker 1: That's why I know Mecot.
- 40:03Speaker 3: That's where I love to start. I love to start
- 40:05Speaker 3: at France. So typically we go and celebrate with vouv
- 40:07Speaker 3: but whatever, we went straight, just like the Rose and
- 40:10Speaker 3: Crown pub. I had a glass of wine there and
- 40:12Speaker 3: then I think I had one more glass in Italy
- 40:14Speaker 3: and that was really it. That's it. But it's like
- 40:16Speaker 3: the Italian er. It's the Epcot glasses of wine. It's
- 40:19Speaker 3: like three ounces. So I really didn't go that crazy
- 40:22Speaker 3: for me. It's it reads about community, Scott Emes, I
- 40:24Speaker 3: mean love being around the people.
- 40:25Speaker 2: Yeah, but if you're gonna get there, I'm gonna at
- 40:27Speaker 2: least have indulge. Like I think the first time I went,
- 40:29Speaker 2: I made the mistake and nobody warned me. But you
- 40:31Speaker 2: don't have to drink it every single stop. No, And
- 40:34Speaker 2: so the first time I went, I was like my birthday.
- 40:36Speaker 2: I think I was twenty one, that would make sense.
- 40:40Speaker 2: And I started in Canada and I made it all
- 40:43Speaker 2: the way to Japan and I pretty much threw up
- 40:47Speaker 2: in the bushes there.
- 40:47Speaker 3: So that's like two countries and no, no.
- 40:50Speaker 2: It's that's halfway. I made it halfway. Yeah, yeah, I
- 40:52Speaker 2: remember like standing over the bushes, like Scott, you're literally
- 40:56Speaker 2: at a family park.
- 40:58Speaker 1: Do not hurl in the bush.
- 41:00Speaker 2: And I learned from that moment the best way to
- 41:03Speaker 2: do it is to get a drink, and then the
- 41:04Speaker 2: next stop get food, and then the next stop get
- 41:06Speaker 2: a drink, and then the next stop get food, and
- 41:07Speaker 2: you go every other and you save money and you
- 41:10Speaker 2: get a nice tasty treat because they got a lot
- 41:11Speaker 2: of good. The food is just as good as the drinks.
- 41:14Speaker 3: Yeah, the food is great and the drinks are so
- 41:16Speaker 3: freaking expensive. See. I was like, yeah, sure, I could
- 41:19Speaker 3: drink as much as I wanted to. But a glass
- 41:20Speaker 3: of wine is eighteen dollars for four ounces. But if
- 41:24Speaker 3: it's a good wine, but it's notice it's good, but
- 41:26Speaker 3: it's not that good. It's like Kim Crawford.
- 41:28Speaker 2: Well, I mean you pick and choose, Like now I
- 41:30Speaker 2: have it mapped out, like I always start and I
- 41:32Speaker 2: go Mexico.
- 41:33Speaker 1: You gotta get a nice margarita from Mexico.
- 41:35Speaker 3: Love the margarita is there?
- 41:36Speaker 1: I love that.
- 41:36Speaker 2: Then I usually always make my way to.
- 41:40Speaker 1: At least we do the saki when we get.
- 41:44Speaker 3: To Japan, the piolet saki.
- 41:46Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we'll do absolutely wine when we go to Italy,
- 41:50Speaker 2: like I always want to make sure France will absolutely
- 41:52Speaker 2: get like a bubbles. I don't usually get anything in America,
- 41:56Speaker 2: if anything, a turkey.
- 41:57Speaker 3: Like America has the best cocktails, though what do they have?
- 42:00Speaker 3: The blueberry moonshine was the one that the people rave about,
- 42:03Speaker 3: the blueberry mule.
- 42:04Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know if I could. I don't remember
- 42:05Speaker 2: the moonshine.
- 42:06Speaker 3: It's something with blueberry.
- 42:07Speaker 1: I'm a lightweight because I don't do that. I can't
- 42:09Speaker 1: do it. That mny.
- 42:10Speaker 3: I know you threw up in Japan.
- 42:11Speaker 2: Oh okay, I also did. No, I just drank too.
- 42:14Speaker 3: Much, hence lightweight and don't.
- 42:20Speaker 1: Say I stopped.
- 42:22Speaker 2: Well, I made it to France and then that's what
- 42:24Speaker 2: I cut it off because everything else, I'm like, Okay,
- 42:27Speaker 2: I tried to do this nasty drink over in England.
- 42:30Speaker 1: I think it was a It's a.
- 42:31Speaker 3: Pims cup, that's it. No, Pims cup is so good.
- 42:35Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know. Maybe it's just because I was,
- 42:37Speaker 2: you know, too lit up the last time. But I
- 42:39Speaker 2: sat there and I thought this is disgusting.
- 42:41Speaker 3: I know. I So I did get a Pims cup,
- 42:43Speaker 3: but I didn't finish it because we had to make
- 42:44Speaker 3: our brunch reservation. Well, but it was good. I remember
- 42:47Speaker 3: thinking I was delicious and they had that good pebble ice.
- 42:49Speaker 2: That's because you've gone and you've actually have you ever
- 42:51Speaker 2: had one actual London?
- 42:53Speaker 3: No, that was my first Pims cup.
- 42:55Speaker 2: Maybe it's only an American thing to actually make one
- 42:56Speaker 2: in London.
- 42:57Speaker 3: Yeah, that's like the whole thing. Pim's cup is a
- 42:59Speaker 3: British thing.
- 43:00Speaker 2: Okay, well, then maybe it would be better. I actually
- 43:02Speaker 2: drink different things when I go to other countries, I'll
- 43:04Speaker 2: drink what they actually have.
- 43:05Speaker 3: Well, I'll drink a guinness in London. That's the only
- 43:08Speaker 3: place I like to drink a guinness is over in
- 43:10Speaker 3: the UK.
- 43:10Speaker 1: It makes more sense, it.
- 43:11Speaker 3: Makes more sense vibe because I'm a mood drinker. You
- 43:14Speaker 3: know this about me. I'm a mood drinker when it's
- 43:16Speaker 3: like sad and bloomy and cold out whiskey or red
- 43:19Speaker 3: wine if it's nice and summary out, any variety of
- 43:23Speaker 3: white wine. When I'm in like a chaotic mood.
- 43:26Speaker 2: Tequila, okay, vodka. That's like when I go on a cruise,
- 43:31Speaker 2: it's usually tequila.
- 43:32Speaker 3: Yeah, Tequila's is just easy to drink.
- 43:33Speaker 2: Yeah, well, not a lot of people say that, And
- 43:35Speaker 2: a lot of people say they have horrible tequila stories.
- 43:36Speaker 3: I don't understand that because I have horrible vodka stories.
- 43:40Speaker 3: Vodka turns me into a different human. I become Medusa,
- 43:44Speaker 3: Queen of chaos.
- 43:46Speaker 2: How so it was the last chaotic thing you did
- 43:48Speaker 2: on vodka college?
- 43:49Speaker 1: Oh boy, it's been.
- 43:50Speaker 3: That's how long I don't drink. I mean, I'm sure
- 43:52Speaker 3: I've had like a vodka here and there, but the
- 43:55Speaker 3: last time I had like copious amounts of vodka was
- 43:58Speaker 3: sophomore year of college. And I've told the story many times,
- 44:01Speaker 3: so if you've heard this, I'm sorry for retelling it.
- 44:03Speaker 3: But I had so much vodkill one night in college
- 44:07Speaker 3: that I confessed my love for one of my brother's friends.
- 44:11Speaker 3: And I was so embarrassed by it when I woke
- 44:13Speaker 3: up that I lied and told him. I went to
- 44:15Speaker 3: the hospital.
- 44:16Speaker 1: Oh my god.
- 44:18Speaker 3: Yeah, because I don't know. I was so humiliated and
- 44:21Speaker 3: I was like, oh, this will, this will make it better?
- 44:23Speaker 3: Did it? No?
- 44:25Speaker 1: Is he still a friend of your brothers?
- 44:27Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 44:27Speaker 1: You still see him?
- 44:28Speaker 3: Yeah? So my brother's engagement party. That was fun.
- 44:31Speaker 1: Is is he?
- 44:33Speaker 2: Are you married with kids?
- 44:34Speaker 3: Yes?
- 44:34Speaker 1: Oh good?
- 44:35Speaker 3: Okay, No one prepares you for that. When you see
- 44:38Speaker 3: somebody used to have like a crush on or used
- 44:39Speaker 3: to date, like married with kids. That's a weird experience.
- 44:42Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I've had now relationships people I was in
- 44:45Speaker 2: love with, like getting married.
- 44:47Speaker 1: It's a punch in the gut.
- 44:49Speaker 3: I know, well, wasn't. I wasn't like, oh no, what
- 44:51Speaker 3: could have been? But it was just weird. I was like,
- 44:53Speaker 3: that's your kid.
- 44:54Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think it's a me saying, man, I
- 44:57Speaker 2: wish that was me, but it's for me right now.
- 45:00Speaker 3: Now.
- 45:01Speaker 2: It's kind of like a bam to the gut of Wow,
- 45:04Speaker 2: they found somebody and you haven't.
- 45:06Speaker 3: Or that should have been me, or I'm sure at
- 45:09Speaker 3: some point you pictured your life with them and you're like, oh,
- 45:11Speaker 3: this isn't that is never gonna happen you because this
- 45:14Speaker 3: is your life now.
- 45:15Speaker 2: Yeah, Well I never say never, just like Justin Bieber said,
- 45:18Speaker 2: anything could happen. But I hope they have a happy
- 45:20Speaker 2: life and I hope they, you know, enjoy it together.
- 45:22Speaker 1: And I will find my person.
- 45:24Speaker 3: You want follow you around from six to ten? Not
- 45:27Speaker 3: enough and you're never gonna find your person, Scotty.
- 45:29Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and wrap it here, because there are
- 45:31Speaker 2: some things I want to just one I do want
- 45:33Speaker 2: to dive into.
- 45:34Speaker 1: We might need to bring on a psychic for this.
- 45:38Speaker 2: The chip I have a thing with chewing, and Abby
- 45:42Speaker 2: likes to chew right on the microphone, which is awesome.
- 45:45Speaker 2: But I had a dream last night that has me
- 45:47Speaker 2: extremely nervous about one who I'm living with mm hmm,
- 45:51Speaker 2: and two the danger that might be lurking outside of
- 45:54Speaker 2: my doors. So I want to bring on a psychic
- 45:56Speaker 2: because I know dream talk isn't the best, but I
- 45:59Speaker 2: think it is when there's a psychic involved.
- 46:01Speaker 3: We got to talk about this tomorrow. Recurring dreams because
- 46:03Speaker 3: I have three reoccurring dreams.
- 46:05Speaker 2: Well, okay, I'm gonna reach out. Soul Worker Stacey is

- 46:09Speaker 2: talked too many of times, and I would like to
- 46:11Speaker 2: hear her perspective because in the past when I've talked
- 46:14Speaker 2: to her, she has been spot on, like I've given
- 46:17Speaker 2: dreams and she's like, oh yeah, that means this show
- 46:19Speaker 2: is about the end. And I'm like, oh my god,
- 46:21Speaker 2: and we're like the only ones that knew. And then
- 46:24Speaker 2: the show ended and then we moved on to another transition.
- 46:27Speaker 3: Stacey to come re muscle.

- 46:29Speaker 2: around tomorrow. I'm sure she would love it. And I
- 46:31Speaker 2: also need answers because I have Do you have a
- 46:33Speaker 2: note of all your dreams? No, okay, you should. You
- 46:35Speaker 2: should keep a note and you can see the reoccurrence
