For a young Eastern Allen, I 22 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: feel like a young Eastern Allen was very similar to 23 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 1: our current Eastern Allen, like very excitable, really loved a 24 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: lot of different stuff, cereal and restaurants and superheroes and Disneyland. 25 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 2: Right, yeah, I liked Christmas as a young as a 26 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 2: young boy had we had a fireplace, but it was 27 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,040 Speaker 2: one of those like stoves. It wasn't like a traditional 28 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 2: like wood burning in a fireplace. So I remember being 29 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 2: very concerned that Santa wouldn't be able to get through. 30 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 2: And then thank God that I believe it was the 31 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 2: Santa Claus tim Allen came out and they showed how 32 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 2: he can manipulate his body to get through very small openings. 33 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 2: I was like, wow, yeah, pressure's off. 34 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: Now that's nice. 35 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 2: But yeah, something I really liked. As I'd wake up 36 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 2: on Christmas morning in my well spoiler alert if you 37 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 2: have kids listening, but my dad, Kim Allen Senior, would 38 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 2: throw ash on the ground and make like footprints that's 39 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 2: good and stuff like that, and he would go outside 40 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 2: my window and like ring the sleigh bells and I 41 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 2: was like, oh, my god. 42 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: Santy, laying there in bed, you'd hear Santa come. 43 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 2: I would Wow. It was great. And the only thing 44 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 2: that I was suspicious of was I was like, because 45 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 2: I heard Santa made these toys in his workshop as 46 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 2: Alas made it, and I was like, is Mattel okay 47 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 2: with them making Gi Joe? Like the package is the same, 48 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 2: There's got to be a legal problem here. 49 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, that is interesting. That works because back in the 50 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: day when the first Santa Claus, you know, story was 51 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: going around and that's what people got. They got train 52 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 1: sets and stuff you could have made. Yeah. Now it's 53 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: now it's an Xbox. Yeah, Santa made in his workshop 54 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: Fortnite Bucks. Yeah. I actually, since we've already blown it 55 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: with the kids out there, I believed longer than almost 56 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 1: any of my friends. And the reason was one Christmas Eve, 57 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: I don't know, I was seven or eight. Uh, some 58 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: friends of my parents came by the house who had 59 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: just been at a Christmas party and they stopped by 60 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: our house and they were fully dressed as Santa and 61 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: Missus Claus, and my parents took a picture with a 62 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: polaroid of the four of them together, and to me, 63 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: that was ironclad proof. It was like getting a shot 64 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: of big Foot of the lock dest Monsole. This is it. 65 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 1: You guys, go ahead, don't believe, but I know it's 66 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: real because I have a photo. Wow, sad little Barkie. 67 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 2: So your calls to the National enquirerof when I answered, yeah, 68 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 2: you're not gonna believe the scoop I got for you. Guys. 69 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,799 Speaker 1: Now, both my kids found out the hard way by 70 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 1: friends at school blowing them. It's too bad. Yeah, they 71 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: were sad. 72 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,679 Speaker 2: How about you, did you were you really into Christmas? 73 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, Well some people seems might be surprised by 74 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: because I'm not religious and we were not a religious family, 75 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: but we were way into Christmas. It's fine because that 76 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: that can happen. Yeah, there is a secular way of 77 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: doing Christmas, and we did the heck out of it. 78 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: We really did, with the songs and the and the 79 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: tree and the stocking and the shows, and we really 80 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: got into it. 81 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 2: Do you have Christmas movies you would watch every year? 82 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: Yeah? I watched It's Wonderful Life every year. Wow, for 83 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: a long long time. I showed her to my eldest 84 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: daughter last year for the first time. Yeah, we'd watch those, 85 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: and our tradition was we'd go see a movie on 86 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: Christmas Eve, like in theaters, fun, and then we'd come 87 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: home and have ribs. Mom would make ribs. She made 88 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: steak when we were younger. But I never I've never 89 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: been that into steak, so she made it ribs, and 90 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: then we'd go drive around look at Christmas tree lights 91 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: or house you know, houses, neighborhoods. And then Christmas morning 92 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: we'd get up early and I'd have an apple pop 93 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: tart and then we'd always start at the exact same time. 94 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: I think it was like eight forty two or something. 95 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: We'd always start opening friends at the exact same time 96 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,799 Speaker 1: every year. I was a very big stickler for tradition. 97 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: But I do not recommend that because I have no 98 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 1: memories of Christmas now, because every year was exactly the same. 99 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: I couldn't tell you the difference between when I was 100 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: six or when I was twelve. They're all exactly the same. 101 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: So if you have kids of your own, change it 102 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: up a little bit every year so they have something 103 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: to remember. 104 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's good advice. Yeah, yeah, we did the same. 105 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 2: It was such tradition until Yeah. 106 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: I mean some traditions are great, they're good. Yeah, traditions, yeah, yeah. 107 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 2: But yeah, it's it's good to switch such things up. 108 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: So right now, if people are listening to this in 109 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: real time, it's Christmas morning. 110 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 2: Wow, that's right. 111 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: What what what is happening at the Easton household. 112 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,119 Speaker 2: Well, I just finished posting scrubbing in that I probably 113 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 2: should have scheduled in advance, but I didn't.

And also I think you need to 172 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: have a certain level of fame to have a podcast, 173 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: and if you don't, you're just one of the millions 174 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: of podcasts out there. 175 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know, maybe happened at some point, but 176 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 2: I just don't. 177 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know what I could contribute. I don't 178 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: see I Hurt Radio getting behind to such a thing. Yeah. 179 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: That's a hard pitch, So sorry, Dan, I probably not 180 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: any time soon, but you're very sweet to ask. 181 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 2: Man. 182 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: Yes, Jennifer Fisk, what are both of your roles at 183 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: iHeart Radio more than just your titles? Is it research, 184 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: pre show editing, facilitating, helping, the host if they get stuck. 185 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: What's a day in the life look like for each 186 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: of you. I'll go first. I get up early in 187 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: the dark, drive in. Sometimes a year I get a 188 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: little bit of sunrise, but usually that's also in the dark. 189 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: I'm the executive producer of On Air with Ryan Secrets. 190 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: That's the title, and the job entails getting everything ready 191 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: that he could possibly need for the course of a show. 192 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: I schedule out a show. This break, we're gonna talk 193 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: about this, this break, We're gon't talk about this now. 194 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: Sometimes he sees that and he goes, I don't want 195 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: to talk about that stuff. I say great. He said, 196 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: I want to talk about this. I say great, and 197 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: he does what he wants. Some days he sticks to it. 198 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: It's kind of a lot of it has to do 199 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: with what it's got he's got going on. Sometimes he's 200 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,319 Speaker 1: very busy and he just kind of does what I 201 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: what I put in front of him. And sometimes he 202 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: comes in with a million ideas and does that and 203 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 1: they're both great. Honestly, it's probably better when he comes 204 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: in with his own ideas because then he's really fired 205 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: up to talk about them. But then the other part 206 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 1: of the job is to make sure he has everything 207 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 1: he needs for these bricks. Does he need pictures, does 208 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: he need callers? Does he need the questions for the 209 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: game we're going to play? Does he need a background, 210 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: does he need the pronunciation of a name like stuff 211 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,079 Speaker 1: like that. Just make sure he has everything possible that 212 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: he could need for that break. And so that's the 213 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: main job, is doing that with him. And I've been 214 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: doing that for almost fourteen years. Wow. 215 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, Easton, Well, I mean the email the business card, 216 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 2: says executive producer of American Top forties Rand Secret, which 217 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 2: is the show that airs on the weekends that Ryan does. 218 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 2: It airs across the country and across the world. And 219 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 2: my typical day is I wake up and we record 220 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 2: that show a couple times throughout the week. There's several 221 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 2: different versions of the countdown. So depending on when Ryan 222 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,839 Speaker 2: has time for it, I will I will hop on 223 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 2: zoom usually and record with him. 224 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: That's not live every Saturday and Sunday morning. 225 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 2: You know, I hate to break it to you. This 226 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 2: is something that I really it breaks my heart to do. 227 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 2: I spoiled Santa earlier in the show, and I'm gonna 228 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 2: spoil this. A lot of people think that Ryan comes 229 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 2: to their town on Sunday morning and broadcast the countdown 230 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 2: from there, and I'm sorry to say that it's not accurate. 231 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 2: He pre records it a little bit in advance, just 232 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 2: a bit, uh, But I record that with him, and 233 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 2: you know, similar to to what Marcus to do. I 234 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 2: have a script for him that has all this information 235 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 2: about all the artists on the chart, interesting stuff to 236 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 2: talk about, and the guests we're gonna have on the show, 237 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,559 Speaker 2: and anything else he could possibly need, and we record 238 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,319 Speaker 2: that together. It's just him and I were having a 239 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 2: lot of fun. We're best friends, Ryan Seacrest and I 240 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 2: and you know, it's just like two friends hanging out. 241 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: Ryan really likes you. 242 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 2: Oh you're sweet. I believes he's cool. I have a 243 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 2: funko pop of him on my show. 244 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: But yeah, he gets a big kick out of you. Easton. 245 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: What was the number one saw of twenty twenty three 246 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: on the American Top forty? 247 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 2: The number well, I mean, do you want to know 248 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 2: the pop chart or the hot pop chart? That's all 249 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 2: that matters. Come on, my goodness, the Contemporary Hit radio 250 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 2: chart that is CHR. The number one song was the 251 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 2: weekend Die for You. 252 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was this is your number one song of 253 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. 254 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 2: And if you listened this past week, if you listened yesterday, 255 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 2: you'd know. 256 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: That, Well, there you go. It's out there. We're not 257 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 1: you know, no spoilers, soil, no, just what I thought 258 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: you might be curious. I like that. Jennifer also asks 259 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: if we weren't doing our current job, what would you 260 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 1: want to be doing with your life? I always say 261 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: baseball I want to be, and I've always wanted to be, 262 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: and I still want to be a played by I 263 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: play baseball announcer, not the guy at the stadium that 264 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: goes now about it ring center fielder. Not that guy 265 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 1: I want to be when you turn on the radio. 266 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: Here we go, ball one strike too. Here's the pitch 267 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: to Yellich. It's a swing on a ground ball to short. 268 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: That that guy. I want to be that guy, and 269 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: I've always wanted to be that guy. And maybe somebody 270 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: I'll get it to that chance. But that would be 271 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: the alternate route. And I did pursue that route at 272 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 1: one point when I was about twenty two, and that 273 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: didn't work out, and I got a morning radio job instead, 274 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: and that's been the path I've been on ever since, 275 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: but that was a fork in the road. So and someday, 276 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:10,439 Speaker 1: hopefully I'll go back to that. 277 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 2: I would love to see that. 278 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: How many love to hear that? Yeah? 279 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know, because I always wanted to 280 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 2: do radio and I'm doing it, and I guess I'd 281 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 2: like to be on the air somewhere, but I don't 282 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 2: really even I don't know if I want that. I 283 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 2: really love what I'm doing now. 284 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: I have found that as I get older, my desire 285 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: to be on the air is less and less. Of course, 286 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: here we are doing a. 287 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 2: Podcast, listen to us. I don't if I want to 288 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,559 Speaker 2: do it every day. But you know something, I am 289 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 2: so fascinated by advertising and logos and jingles and slogans. 290 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 2: That is something that, like sincerely, brings me a lot 291 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 2: of non ironic, like real pleasure. So I've always I 292 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 2: have always fantasized about another life where I like went 293 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 2: into advertising or something. Yeah, you'd be good at that, 294 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 2: thank you. 295 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we're both radio nerds. 296 00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 2: What can we say?

I thought it would go 502 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 2: on for a while, but I'm like, I can't believe 503 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 2: that moment would happen. 504 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was incredible. 505 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 2: That was so special. 506 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,719 Speaker 1: Madison Young, what would be your perfect day? What are 507 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: you doing? What are you eating? Who are you with? 508 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 2: East You know, I had imagined my perfect day and 509 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 2: I got to do it for my birthday in twenty 510 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 2: twenty two. 511 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: Wow. 512 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 2: I think about it all the time. It was my 513 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 2: perfect day. I woke up. I had a Lucky Boy 514 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 2: breakfast burrito from Pasadena. If you're in the Pasaden area, 515 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 2: you got to go luck You wouldn't get this breakast 516 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,919 Speaker 2: brit It's so good. I had that. And then my 517 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,199 Speaker 2: sister and her husband came met up with Alison and 518 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,719 Speaker 2: I and we drove out to Malibu. We had oysters, 519 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,439 Speaker 2: and then we went to Paradise Cove, which is the 520 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 2: beach where they shot the album cover for Surf and 521 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 2: Safari by the Beach Boys. And I stared at the water, 522 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 2: and I felt the air, and I looked at the cliffs, 523 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 2: and I just hung out with people closest to me. 524 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:52,880 Speaker 2: It was the perfect day. 525 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: That's very sweet. It's hard for me because it would 526 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 1: involve my wife and daughters. But I'd also want to 527 00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: be watching a Brewers game, and they don't like to 528 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 1: watch Brewers games, and so I would feel bad about 529 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 1: making them do that. So I wouldn't do that. But 530 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,719 Speaker 1: I'll tell you my happy place. My happy place is 531 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 1: at my mother in law's house. A huge backyard like 532 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 1: that don't exist in southern California. It's like a good, 533 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: big Wisconsin backyard, and we get out the tea ball equipment. 534 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: We'll not te ball, whiffleball. We all play whiffleball in 535 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: the backyard. So it's me and it's the kids, and 536 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 1: it's all of either the kids friends or usually their cousins, 537 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: and usually my brother in law's out there, and maybe 538 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 1: some other people that we know are there. And that's 539 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: just I could do that all, even if it's just 540 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: me and my daughters. That is my happy place, whiffleball 541 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 1: in that backyard on a lovely summer night. The sun's 542 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 1: going down. They usually we can still smell what was 543 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: on the grill a few minutes ago, usually the ball 544 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: games on the speakers on the radio. That's it. Man. 545 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,159 Speaker 1: That doesn't get any better than that. 546 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:47,919 Speaker 2: Man, I love it. 547 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 1: A number of people ask me about my daughter's anxiety. 548 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: Heather Durant here, can you talk about your daughter's anxiety? 549 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:56,439 Speaker 1: What you've done that's helped. My four year old has 550 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 1: anxiety at bedtime, and I find myself getting impatient with her. Okay, 551 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,679 Speaker 1: so I have the solution. I'd like to say I 552 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 1: have the solution, but obviously every child is different. But 553 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 1: my daughter could never express to us what the problem was. 554 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 1: And then she got to an age where she could 555 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 1: express to us what the problem was and had been, 556 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 1: and what she needed from us in those times, and 557 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 1: that we weren't necessarily giving to her. Here's what she needs, 558 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: So Heather, this is I think this would help. She 559 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 1: needs you to be there, she needs you to love her, 560 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 1: and she needs you to empathize with what she's going through. 561 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,679 Speaker 1: And we were good at that to a point. And 562 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 1: I think that is the key. Because when your kid 563 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: comes in in your room at bedtime once twice three 564 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: times you can handle that, it's going to be fine. 565 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: I'm not going to get upset. By the eighth, ninth, 566 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: tenth time, it's very difficult to not even if you're 567 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,880 Speaker 1: saying the right things. They can tell if you're annoyed 568 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 1: with them. And so if your kid knows that there 569 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 1: is a breaking point for mom and dad, it almost 570 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: becomes inevitable that they're going to get to that breaking 571 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: point because their anxiety is going to force them to 572 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: do that, because they're going to go back to bed 573 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,399 Speaker 1: and they're going to feel like, is this the moment 574 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 1: that they're mad at me? And then their anxiety is 575 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: gonna get worse and worse until they come in and 576 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 1: maybe you are, maybe you aren't. Even if you aren't, 577 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,880 Speaker 1: they go back to bed and they still know it's coming. 578 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: I have found that when I said to her later on, 579 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: after I had the revelations of all the stupid mistakes 580 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,360 Speaker 1: I made as a dad in handling this situation, that 581 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: if she knows that you're never going to get upset, 582 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,919 Speaker 1: that is enough. I remember one night my wife and 583 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 1: other daughter were at some dance convention, so it was 584 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 1: just me and my oldest and I knew that her 585 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: anxiety level was high when I was saying good night 586 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,679 Speaker 1: to her, and so I said, I'm right down the 587 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 1: hall and you can come all night long. I don't care. 588 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 1: I'm there and it's going to be fine. And she 589 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: never even came once because I think just knowing that 590 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: it's going to be fine, the anxiety go away. So 591 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: if they know that you are a safe space that 592 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: they can go to, if they know that you're a 593 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: safe space indefinitely, then they're not gonna push the limits 594 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:18,679 Speaker 1: of that. So, Heather, my advice to you is to try. 595 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: And I know that's hard, man. I know when it's 596 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 1: three in the morning and she's still coming in, it's 597 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,159 Speaker 1: so hard. But if you can just figure out a 598 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 1: way to always be okay with it, it's gonna get better. 599 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: And it's gonna get better fast, I think. And every 600 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: kid's different, so who knows, but and Daniel Hammond, that's 601 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: the best parenting advice I wish I had known back then. 602 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 1: And it's easier said than done, because you're gonna get annoyed. 603 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: It's just natural, especially when you don't understand it. And 604 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:48,120 Speaker 1: I never understood it. Why are you so anxious? Nothing 605 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 1: bad's ever happened to you in your whole life. What's 606 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:54,479 Speaker 1: the problem. But when you go to that place, then 607 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: it just gets worse. You just got to find it 608 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 1: in yourself to be okay with it forever and then 609 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:00,400 Speaker 1: it's gonna it's gonna get better. 610 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,239 Speaker 2: So anyway, that's such good advice for not even if 611 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 2: your child doesn't struggle things, or even your your partner. 612 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 2: I think if you you need to be that place, 613 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 2: they need to feel like you are a safe place. 614 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 2: I think, yeah, and that is so important and always yes, 615 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:34,640 Speaker 2: always there. 616 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: We go, moving on to other topics. Lindsay spark when 617 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 1: how many podcasts do you guys work on? I think 618 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: I saw you on Paris and Love. That's that's right. 619 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,360 Speaker 2: I made it. I am. 620 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 1: You know. 621 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 2: I'm not going to sugarcoat I'm the star of Paris 622 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 2: and Love season two, episode five. Specifically, I do have 623 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 2: a line I say, I could fix that to Paris 624 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 2: that's great. 625 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, one of those tea shirts available at your Instagram. 626 00:27:58,800 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: You can fix that. 627 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 2: People. I've asked for them, They've asked for them. How 628 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 2: many podcasts do we do? 629 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: Mark? 630 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 2: I don't like to know. 631 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 1: Actually, I think I have a way of knowing this. 632 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,920 Speaker 1: Let me just bring this up right here one, two, four, seven, 633 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 1: eight nine. I'm up to thirteen. Easty. 634 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 2: Well let's see. Let me let me look here, and 635 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 2: what does that entail? 636 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 1: She says, Well, it entails. I guess somebody else said that. 637 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 1: But it's basically for most of that. It's different for 638 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 1: each of them. For most of them, they just do it. 639 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,639 Speaker 1: They send me the audio. I edit it together and 640 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: make it sound like a show. I put on the 641 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 1: production at the beginning, and I put in the commercial breaks, 642 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: and I do all that stuff, and maybe I shorten it. 643 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: I bleep the s words. If you can't say that 644 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 1: on that show, Sam, you can, some you can't. So 645 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: it's different for each one. But it's it's mostly behind 646 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: the scenes post production on these podcasts. 647 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I do again. I do not want to count. 648 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 2: I think it's probably abound the same though, But thirteen 649 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 2: or something like that, and I sit on usually zoom. 650 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 2: Except for the case of Paris Silton, I do go 651 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 2: to her home, which is called Slivington manor thank you. 652 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 2: And you know, you know it's funny about that is 653 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 2: when I was sixteen or seventeen, my friends and I 654 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 2: came to La for the first time, like without our parents, 655 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 2: and it was a big deal. And we bought the 656 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 2: map of the Stars homes and we went to Paris 657 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 2: Sultan's house. That's incredible and it's different than where she 658 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 2: lives now. But like we went to the house that 659 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 2: like they broke into in the billing ring. Yeah, and 660 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 2: obviously didn't go up to the door. We drove by. 661 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my god, it's Perry Siltan's house, and 662 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 2: like it's just funny that now I'm I am there. 663 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 1: You can practically come and go as you please.

I love drama Queens, but 689 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: that one's a lot of work for me, so I 690 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 1: love it less. Uh So, I don't know.

Pod Meets World's show I 697 00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 2: would listen to if I was not being paid to. 698 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 2: It is so funny and so interesting, and you know, 699 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 2: even if you're not a boy meets World fan. I 700 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 2: think it's a really great show. 701 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: Margaret Watford McClintock. 702 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 2: That's a cool name, great name. 703 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: How is a failure or a parent failure set up 704 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 1: for later? Set you up for later success? Do you 705 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 1: have a favorite failure? That's a very high end question 706 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 1: right there. I just have a funny story. That's why 707 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 1: I picked this one. I was at a station called 708 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 1: WMMM Triple M. We called the one oh five to 709 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 1: five Triple M Madison's something and I got fired a 710 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 1: lot back in the day, but this is like the 711 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: only one that was my doing. Like I got fired 712 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,479 Speaker 1: from WMAD because they went bankrupt. I got fired from 713 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 1: w jj L because they fired everybody, and I got 714 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 1: fired from other places for similar radio just kind of 715 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 1: normal radio related reasons. But this one was my fault. 716 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: I was the overnight guide at two to six AM, 717 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 1: and the other overnight guy, his name was Gabe. We 718 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: would sometimes go exploring at night in the middle of 719 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 1: the night, as you do, yeah, as you do, although 720 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: back then I'm not sure how we did much because 721 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 1: you can automate now. Back then you actually had to 722 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 1: literally hit play on every song. Sure how we did that, 723 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 1: but we would and. 724 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 2: Put on American Pie and then huh yeah, explor. 725 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: One of the things we did was we would back 726 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: then this is I don't know if it was predirect 727 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: deposit or it didn't or they just didn't use direct deposit, 728 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: but everyone's paychecks were slid into their mail slots, and 729 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: so Gabe and I would hold those pace slots up 730 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: to the paychecks up to the light to see what 731 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 1: kind of coin people would bring it in, because we 732 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: knew we were getting hosed. We were the overnight guys. 733 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 1: And so anyway, somebody overheard us exchanging notes like, oh, 734 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 1: this person makes Oh did you see this person? Oh 735 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 1: they make this much. No, it's I was an idiot, 736 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 1: Like I'll tell you that right now. I was an 737 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,800 Speaker 1: idiot for many reasons back then, and that's one of them. 738 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 1: And so anyway, so that person told the bosses, who 739 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 1: told the bosses, and I got fired for that. Gabe 740 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 1: didn't because he'd already found another gig, so he'd already 741 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: put in his two weeks notice. But I got I 742 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 1: got fired for that. So I would say that's a 743 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 1: failure and a learning experience and a growth moment. Not 744 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,239 Speaker 1: something I'm proud of, but you know, it happened, then 745 00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: it is what it is. Do you have a failure reason? 746 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know I do. I was I didn't 747 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,960 Speaker 2: really know what I wanted to do after like high school, 748 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 2: so I started taking criminal justice classes. I thought I'd 749 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 2: be a cop like my dad. And then I was like, 750 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 2: oh my god, I gotta. 751 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 1: Like fight, not see you as a cop. 752 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know that's what he said to my dad, 753 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 2: but you know, I just kind of did it. And 754 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 2: then I got an internship at the radio station in 755 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 2: my town and I started doing that and I loved it, 756 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,680 Speaker 2: and I was such a bad student. My plan was 757 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 2: to transfer to San Jose Stage or something like that 758 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 2: and do film television radio. That was a major there. 759 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 2: And I could not, for the life of me, pass 760 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 2: intermediate algebra at my community college. I flunked it so 761 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 2: many times. I flunked it the most amount. I could 762 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 2: not retake it there. So if and that was a credit, 763 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 2: you needed to transfer. So if I was going to transfer, 764 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 2: I was gonna have to go to another community college. 765 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 2: And that filled me with so much shame and I 766 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 2: was like, Okay, I either have to do that or 767 00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 2: I have to move to Los Angeles and try to 768 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 2: just do radio down there because that's what I wanted 769 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 2: to do ultimately, and that was my and I'm like, 770 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 2: you know, I'm gonna try and here you are. Here 771 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 2: I am you know. That was those thirteen years ago. 772 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 1: On the fifth floor of the iHeart Radio building overlooking Burbank, California. 773 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 2: Beautiful downtown Burbank. I'm here and it worked out for me. 774 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 1: But yeah, of the four people on this podcast, Tanya 775 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 1: and Becka included, only Tanya rad has a college degree. 776 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 1: The rest of us dropped out.

I live walking distance 782 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 1: from hiking trails and a mountain and I can do 783 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 1: it twelve months out of the year and that's beautiful. 784 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,759 Speaker 1: I love that.

I love that. I love them. My kids 788 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,280 Speaker 1: are being raised that it's perfectly normal to be whatever 789 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,360 Speaker 1: you want, whoever you want to be.

What's your least favorite part of your job? 810 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 1: You know, people would think it would be the hours, 811 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 1: but I've really gotten used to that. I don't It 812 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,560 Speaker 1: doesn't really bother me getting up early, because I don't 813 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 1: know any other life anymore. I've been in morning radio jeez, 814 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 1: almost twenty years now, so I don't have any other 815 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 1: frame of reference. Really, I don't mind that at all. 816 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:26,800 Speaker 1: I guess it's meetings. And then I don't mean the 817 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,279 Speaker 1: meetings with the staff because I love those. We do 818 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 1: this every day for the next day show. I love that. 819 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 1: I love doing the show. I love working with Ryan, 820 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:38,960 Speaker 1: I love I love the show itself. It's meetings with 821 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 1: like people who wear ties for a living, those kind 822 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,400 Speaker 1: of meetings, like the planning meetings. Those all drive me crazy. 823 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,640 Speaker 1: That's my least favorite part. Yeah, because look, Seacrest is 824 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 1: a big deal in this company, and our show is 825 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 1: a big deal in this company, so a lot of 826 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,359 Speaker 1: people have a very vested interest in our show. So 827 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 1: we have to do a lot of those meetings and 828 00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:57,440 Speaker 1: they drive me nuts. 829 00:36:58,920 --> 00:36:59,879 Speaker 2: God, what's my least for your. 830 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:03,399 Speaker 1: Love. 831 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 2: I really do love almost every aspect of this job. 832 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,800 Speaker 2: I guess. There are some times I have to record 833 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:15,319 Speaker 2: a podcast with someone whose opinions I don't like. Ah, yeah, 834 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,880 Speaker 2: that's good. I have to sit there and listen to 835 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 2: them and take notes on it. And then the worst part. 836 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,400 Speaker 2: A lot of the podcasts you listen to, I also 837 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,880 Speaker 2: write the little description things. Just trying to make someone 838 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:30,480 Speaker 2: that I absolutely despise sound exciting and interesting is a challenge, 839 00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,319 Speaker 2: and I don't like that. That's the part, But I 840 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 2: do it because I'm good at my job. But that's 841 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:35,840 Speaker 2: the part I don't like. 842 00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:38,480 Speaker 1: Let's burn through a couple of ys quickly. How'd you 843 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,120 Speaker 1: know your wives were? The one that was? Megan and 844 00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,080 Speaker 1: Shala both asked that that's an easy one. I remember. 845 00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,719 Speaker 1: I remember the thought when the thought of living a 846 00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,960 Speaker 1: life without her became laughable to me. The idea that 847 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,000 Speaker 1: five years from now we wouldn't even know each other, 848 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:54,760 Speaker 1: that was just ludicrous, and I thought that was funny, 849 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:56,200 Speaker 1: And that's when I knew it was time to propose. 850 00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:56,840 Speaker 1: Because she's it. 851 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,280 Speaker 2: I had a similar thing. Yeah, I could not imagine 852 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,319 Speaker 2: life without her, And even the even the worst parts 853 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:04,879 Speaker 2: of life are so much better with. 854 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,560 Speaker 1: Her Elsie Limb. First impressions of Becca and Tanya and 855 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:13,759 Speaker 1: each other, uh, east and Easton's incredibly likable, as you 856 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,960 Speaker 1: all know. And I see he seemed like a fun 857 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 1: likable guy the first time I met him, and then 858 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 1: I saw him at Disneyland. Then I thought it was 859 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,680 Speaker 1: somebody didn't say anything, But knowing him now, I should 860 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,120 Speaker 1: was obvious it was him. He's there all the time. 861 00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 1: But I still seemed like a fun likable guy. 862 00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,879 Speaker 2: Yeah.

And I remember when I first 888 00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:45,360 Speaker 2: got the job. She we were using a well and 889 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,360 Speaker 2: semissenger back then, and she hit me up on aim 890 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,359 Speaker 2: and she was like a big part of the job 891 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:51,719 Speaker 2: I'm gonna need you to do is tell me what 892 00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:55,359 Speaker 2: song is playing next.

She couldn't tell. She didn't have access 901 00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,280 Speaker 2: to that.

Whatever happened to Croctober, 965 00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:09,520 Speaker 1: I can't look at Crocs about thinking of you. 966 00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:14,080 Speaker 2: I'm I'm happy you brought that up. I love Crocs. 967 00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:18,680 Speaker 2: I still buy them frequently. I set a high standard 968 00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:20,480 Speaker 2: for myself with Croctober. The first time I did it, 969 00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:25,360 Speaker 2: I did like thirty days of croc related videos and 970 00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:29,080 Speaker 2: it was a lot of work. And so the following 971 00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,720 Speaker 2: year I think I did something similar but less frequent. 972 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:33,640 Speaker 2: This year, I don't think I did anything for Croctober 973 00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,239 Speaker 2: at all this year, other than like wishing everyone a 974 00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,239 Speaker 2: happy October when I would see them in public. But 975 00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:42,640 Speaker 2: it's just a lot of work, you know, and Crocs 976 00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:46,719 Speaker 2: knows that I love them. But until I have a 977 00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:49,800 Speaker 2: really unique and astonishing idea, I think Croctober might have 978 00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:51,879 Speaker 2: to take a back seat to other things, you know. 979 00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:54,719 Speaker 1: Fair enough, all right, I have a game for Easton. Wow, 980 00:43:54,800 --> 00:44:11,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna play it when we come back, all right. 981 00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,920 Speaker 1: I was trying to think what which of Easton's passions 982 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,120 Speaker 1: should I quiz him on Should I givehim a Disney quiz? 983 00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:19,239 Speaker 1: Should I give him a Crocs quiz? Should I give 984 00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:22,320 Speaker 1: him a Marvel quiz? I didn't think people would be 985 00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,720 Speaker 1: very interested in those, but I thought a cheesecake factory 986 00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:27,399 Speaker 1: quiz would be kind of fun. So here we go 987 00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:32,040 Speaker 1: three rounds. First round is trivia. OK, I'll take the 988 00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:34,520 Speaker 1: rounds as they come. All right, Here we go Round one, 989 00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:39,279 Speaker 1: general trivia. Here we go easton Ready Ready?
