WEBVTT - The Story Continues 0:00:09.880 --> 0:00:13.200 All right, hey, then everybody, welcome to Amy and TJ. 0:00:14.000 --> 0:00:14.320 TJ. 0:00:14.360 --> 0:00:16.840 Hol Heer, Amy Rebrox sitting next to me as we 0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:19.119 give you episode two of our new podcast. Were very 0:00:19.160 --> 0:00:21.319 excited if you listen to episode one, and many of 0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:23.560 you did, and we thank you for that. But you'll 0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:26.279 notice at the top of that Robes started by saying 0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:31.360 she was nervous. So episode two, how you feeling still nervous? 0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:37.120 I think it's very much mixed with excitement and gratitude 0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:43.479 as well. But I still have those butterflies, and I 0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:45.319 think it's just one of those things when you put 0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:49.520 yourself out there. When we were broadcaster as journalists, you're 0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:52.879 reading whatepy, you are okay, right, But when we were 0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:55.880 on the air and we had a microphone on us, 0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:59.000 we were talking about other people and we want to 0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:02.600 get to that place. So when you're putting yourself out there, 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:06.760 your live's out there, your heart out there. Yes, there's 0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:09.440 more at stake, and I think you and I both 0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:15.720 realized just what was at stake for that episode, last 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:20.160 week's episode, but also this week's episode. Everything's at stake 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:21.000 and it's terrifying. 0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:23.200 You know, you kept using the word terrifying. We talk 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:25.120 about what's at stake, and what it's sake is a 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:29.399 I mean, these are twenty five generally twenty five year careers, 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:32.760 broadcasting careers, and it was it's terrifying to think like 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:34.560 everything is on the line. If we don't nail, they 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:36.759 don't get it right, we make a misstep. I think 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:40.800 finally we can exhale a little bit that we've got 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:45.000 that one under our belt. And we had expectations of it, right, 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:47.720 We had expectations of maybe how we were going to feel, 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:51.440 expectations of how the podcast would do. We'd had some 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:57.520 expectations in fear consternation about how people might respond, and 0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:00.640 on every single one of those notes at exceed are exs. 0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:04.480 So it's a huge thank you to a lot of 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:08.200 people who you use the phrase suspend it judgment. We 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:10.600 know we have fans, but there's been a lot out there, 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:13.440 but we were able to finally speak and the response 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:17.680 from you all exceeded all of our expectations, and we 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:19.240 are incredibly grateful. 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:23.720 We are so grateful. And we did not read the comments, 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:27.679 I think to preserve our own sanity, and we had 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:30.680 some of them given to us by our producers, and 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:34.079 we were told ninety five percent were good. You got 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:36.760 five percent that weren't. And that's, you know, I think 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:38.519 a pretty good ratio. I thought it might be a 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:39.000 little bit. 0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:42.919 Oh my god, gat rotten tomato score right. He will 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:43.440 kill for that. 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:51.120 Yes, So we were very much just my fears were calmed. 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:55.280 I felt better about being able to tell the story 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.480 the way it actually happened versus how it was written 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:00.200 for us, and so we were just really grateful. So 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.960 thank you every one of you all who left comments, 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:06.160 good and bad, because that's part of what this is 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:09.800 is hearing you and your thoughts and what you think 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:12.760 and what you'd like to hear more of or less of. 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:15.240 We're open to all of that. This is a relationship 0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:19.200 that we want to build with you as our listener. 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.680 We want to hopefully have some fun with you, but 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:24.800 also talk about things that need to be talked about. 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:28.200 So anyway, we appreciate any and all feedback. We are 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:28.680 getting it. 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:32.760 I don't mean that from appreciate all feedback. Okay, you 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:36.480 speak for yourself. I'm feedback. I don't want I don't 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:38.600 want to hear it. Now I get what you're saying. 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:41.120 You are right, and we do appreciate it. But there 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:44.160 is a respect you don't have to agree with or 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:45.520 you don't have to agree with what we say, but 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:50.040 you also don't have to believe it. Yep, you actually 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:53.080 don't have to believe us to still be able to 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:55.400 respectfully have a conversation with us. And that is where 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:57.880 we are so and going into it, we had no 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:00.360 freaking idea what a successful podcast looks like. And they 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:03.200 were telling us, well, look, if you get to this point, 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:05.040 it'll be great. If you get to this, it'll be great. 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:07.440 And we ended up we landed, and this is no 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:09.240 small thing, and we thank you, thank you, thank you 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:12.320 for because of your interest and your listening and your comments, 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:16.200 we launched a podcast that landed in the top five 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:19.120 of all podcasts on the charts and stayed there for 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:21.880 the majority of last week. And you should see robots 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:24.800 smile right now. It's that wide smile yours. 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:26.800 And I just got chills. Do you remember? Do you 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:28.640 know how many times I would get chills when we 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:30.280 were on this at together. I was like, I just 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:33.520 got chills. I genuinely just did, because after this year, 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:37.200 I am so grateful to be able to get chills 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:41.200 about something positive, and I think that's just where we are. 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:44.200 We are appreciative of positivity, and we hear those of 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:47.520 you all who weren't as positive. But you know, hopefully 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:50.279 we can keep this going and we can keep talking 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:54.479 about other things and move the needle on other subjects. 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:57.280 That is our goal ultimately. But still I think we 0:04:57.360 --> 0:04:59.560 just also want to say that we were overwhelmed by 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:03.400 just the personal emails and texts and dms that we 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:05.720 got from our friends, our family, a lot of our 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:08.120 former co workers, friends who I hadn't heard from, co 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:10.520 workers who I hadn't heard from in a while, and 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:12.960 they mostly consisted of that they were proud of us. 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:16.920 They all acknowledged it must have been hard to say 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:20.039 what we said and to put ourselves and our reputations 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:23.359 out there for everyone coming from us and our own words. 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:25.640 And we heard a lot of sorry, I didn't check 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:26.400 in on you more. 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:29.880 That was And I feel almost that I need to 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.359 apologize to people who are apologizing to me, because in 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:34.719 the previous episode we did talk about that and that 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:36.880 people don't know what to say to you when you're 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:39.840 going through that, and some I think we've probably been 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:42.120 the position with friends and people we know before where 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:43.400 you don't know what to say, so you don't want 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:45.280 to reach out because you feel like you're bothering or 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:47.479 they are there in the middle of some right now, 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:51.359 so I don't want to disturb. And those messages mean everything, 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:54.000 even though you might not get a response back. We 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:59.880 read the messages that friends and family send us and 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:04.120 just getting something that says I'm here for you, I 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:07.080 care about you, and there are some people who wouldn't 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:10.760 let up in that regard, and I got in particular. 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:13.920 Look my cousin Chardy and Nashville Love your Girl, and 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:17.280 my good friend JJ and Little Rock. These are folks 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:19.200 I haven't talked to a lot in the past couple 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:22.640 of years and got closer to I was so close 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:26.040 to for so long. Both of them sent messages Betsy 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:30.880 as well in Arkansas that were saying, I'm so sorry 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:34.080 after listening, I'm sorry I didn't reach out more. 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:36.680 I didn't know. I didn't really didn't know what you were. 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.280 Going through, and so we didn't want. We don't want 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:41.560 to make anybody feel bad. That wasn't the point, but 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:44.000 it's the truth of the matter. But don't feel bad 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:46.760 about doing that and if there's anything we want to 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:50.479 I absolutely say to folks and a ton of colleagues, 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:53.359 former colleagues who reached out and some of them for 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:57.279 the first time in all this. We want to say 0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:01.400 to those folks and everybody, not for a moment. And 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:03.080 if you're hearing my voice right now, as soon as 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:05.159 you get done listening to this podcast, you pick up 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:07.440 that damn phone and you reach out to the person 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:10.520 you've been putting off reaching out to, because it means everything. 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:14.600 And we've had situations where we have people in our 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.480 lives have passed away and we go back and go, Damn, 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:20.280 I meant to invite them to lunch. Damn I meant 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:23.080 to reach out to ask this. Damn please, folks, we 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:26.600 are begging you do not have I'm serious literally today, 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:30.320 when you in this episode pick up the phone. 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:33.080 And reach out, you're never bothering someone. I think someone 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:34.640 even said I didn't want to add to the noise. 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:36.440 Oh please, I'd like to drown out some of the 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:40.120 bad noise with some good noise. So just one line, 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:41.800 that's all it takes. And one of my favorite things 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.200 to do, having walked this a couple of times with 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:47.040 bad things happening and people not knowing what to say, 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:50.240 whether it's cancer or being let go from your job 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:53.000 in a very public way. It's just one line, and 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:55.000 I always like to preface it with this. You don't 0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:57.600 have to respond, you don't need to text me back. 0:07:57.840 --> 0:07:59.880 Just know I am thinking of you, I am praying 0:07:59.880 --> 0:08:03.520 for you, I am here for you. That's it, that's 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:04.200 all it takes. 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:07.520 And look, I didn't plan all. You and I talked 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:09.040 about where we're gonna do in this episode. But this 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:11.800 is something that there are some people in our lives 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:17.200 that in Isaiah Thomas Right is a guy I've known 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:19.800 for many, many years, and I always remember I was 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:23.840 coming from your place in West Village and he called 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:27.680 me and I didn't. I didn't answer the call, but 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:30.560 I messaged him a short time later, and he's he 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.680 hit me back on text and said that's not good enough. 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:34.680 I need to hear your voice. 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:38.520 He wouldn't let me avoid him and all seriously, And 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:40.320 there are some that are built like that and people 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:43.040 we are closer to who did that. But that's a 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:45.440 very good example, and he's one of the folks. He 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:47.800 does not We haven't been that closed. We don't stay 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:49.840 in touch every month, every couple of months, but. 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:51.200 Over the years of knowing it. 0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:54.199 But he is one who would not let it go. 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:57.840 He would not let me sit and not respond and 0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:01.440 that was that means ever to me, and I know 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:03.400 you had folks like that as well. 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:04.640 It just it means everything. 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:08.959 Well. Speaking of someone, we mentioned her in the last podcast, 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:12.520 Sarah Haynes, and we joked, we hope she doesn't get fired. 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:15.120 Yeah, they we just found out she's they're not renewing her. 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:18.400 I'm sorry, Okay, keep listening. 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:21.240 We just wanted to make it clear Sarah Hanes did 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:24.439 not get fired from the view and she actually we're 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:27.360 going to lunch on Wednesday, so it's it's all good. 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:29.640 And it is funny how people pick up those things 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:32.160 and make something out of it. But those are the 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:34.520 people who just wouldn't take no for an answer and 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:38.120 we appreciate it and we continue to appreciate any goodwill. 0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:42.400 And who's another one we mentioned it last and he's 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:43.640 absolutely great. 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:47.360 Byron Byron Allen out out in LA and a lot 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:48.280 of people know that name. 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:52.120 Look, he is an absolute medium ogul and he and 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:52.400 I have. 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:55.720 Known each other for years. 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:58.679 But just in passing, and he was one starting a 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:01.560 year ago in December. He might be the person I 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:05.400 talk to most. He wouldn't let up I certainly every week, 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:09.319 but every couple days we'd hear from Byron, how are 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:11.800 you doing, what's going on? What do you need? Getting 0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:15.640 on the phone with him, constant conversations, and so we 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:18.160 finally were able to as we now tell you all 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:21.240 about what we've been doing the past week, past week 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:23.280 and a half, really getting ready for the launch. But 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:27.240 it started Thursday, November thirtieth in. 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:30.640 La on that infamous day, November thirty at the day 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:34.240 where a certain paper put out a certain set of 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:36.280 pictures that set this whole thing into motion. So it 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.360 was pretty cool, exactly one year later to reclaim that day. 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:43.880 So really, yeah, we flew out to La proudly, didn't 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:47.280 have to duck paparazzi, walked right off that plane, holding hands. 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:50.400 It was amazing. It's funny how the smallest things suddenly 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:53.160 feel so great, and that was one of them. 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:56.600 Okay, well, here's the funny thing about that. We have 0:10:56.679 --> 0:11:00.079 been avoiding Lax for the past year. We have righty 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:02.440 because every time we fly in there, I can't remember 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:03.760 his name. I'd love to give him credit to my 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:05.920 man from TMZ. He's the nicest guy with long hair. 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:08.480 He's always right in our face. All right, we haven't 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:10.120 flown to Lax for a year. 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:11.439 This time we're. 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:14.360 Proud stepping off the plane, take our picture. Didn't see 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:17.560 his asst all. We were like, well that was elect 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:18.840 Like what are we going to say? What are we 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:22.440 going to Nope, not even an opportunity. They were not there. 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:27.160 But still we were ready and we were smiling, just 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:28.280 in case he wanted to know. 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:30.960 We were out there for the jingle Ball for the 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:33.280 Ihar Jingle Bawl in La, and we had an iHeart 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:34.920 party to go to the day after that. But the 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:37.040 first night we got to sit down, why do we 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:39.000 have a four or five hour dinner with wait Byron? 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:41.080 I think we thought we just might be able to 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:44.000 catch them for an hour Byron and his wife Jennifer, 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:45.400 and we thought this is going to be amazing. I 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:48.080 finally got to meet him and his incredible wife. We 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:51.040 walked away saying the nicest things about her. She was phenomenal. 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:54.120 But it did. It turned into a four hour dinner. 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:56.840 I think we were the last people at the restaurant. 0:11:57.000 --> 0:12:00.000 But Byron is one love you brother. But he's here, 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:02.440 he's hearing and to us talk about the story and 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:04.600 how we come out of it and where you need 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:06.880 to go now, and he's telling us, well, this is 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:08.880 what you should have done, this is what I would 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:11.520 have done. You shouldn't let anybody, and he's given us 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:14.320 this whole scenario. I'm like, bro, I'm I'm not a 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:17.160 billionaire mogul. I can't go in and talk like that. 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:20.760 So but he is one that we absolutely want to 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:24.559 give so much credit to and for how he supported us. 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:27.320 And now we were able to finally sit down. And 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:31.040 that was on Thursdaursday thirtieth, So Friday we go to 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:33.559 the Jingle Ball in La And this was no small 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:34.079 thing for us. 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:37.360 No, it was the first time we ever stepped out 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:40.800 officially as a couple in front of cameras that we 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:44.000 actually knew were going to be there. I did mine 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:46.480 and did mine and smiled and we had fun and 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:49.240 we were just being us. Apparently that's handsy and a 0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:52.600 lot of PDA. But you know what, we're in love. 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:54.880 We're happy. I don't know how else. 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:57.040 To act when you say handsy and a lot of PDA. 0:12:57.520 --> 0:12:59.840 Well that's what they wrote. I don't think it was 0:12:59.880 --> 0:13:04.400 that bad. We just held hands and laughed. Okay, maybe 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:05.760 I did give you a pack on the cheek. 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:08.240 Okay, that wasn't that. That's not that much PDA. 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:09.320 Apparently that's PDA. 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:11.920 Okay, this is my bad. This is I have a 0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:12.640 bad bad. 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:14.000 Now you're gonna go there. 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:19.280 Okay, if you like that, go ahead, but never mind. No, 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:20.840 you did not didn't like the way you looked at me. 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:23.400 You saw that, right, Andrew? Okay, yeah, she didn't. She 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:24.960 didn't look at me, right, Sidney, do. 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:28.000 You say that? Right? Would how would you vote?

Look, it's a bad habit. 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:49.840 I suppose it could be sweet, but it could be sexualized. 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:51.720 Or viewed as such. But I have a bad habit. 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:54.040 Of when I put my arm around you, my hand 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:55.040 ends up lower than the. 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:59.120 Waist, and it's crazy way to put it and it's not. 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:02.840 It's just that, it's just it's a bad habit and 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:04.240 I'm trying to break the habit. 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:07.120 You kept trying to break the habit while we were 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:09.120 on the carver. Oh I did it again. Oh I 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.319 did it again. You had to stop yourself five times. 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:14.040 But it was I think it's cute. It's I know, 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:16.520 it's sweet. It's not what they say. 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:19.400 It is okay, but I don't even know where it was. 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:21.240 It was a fun night. We had a FUSI. Yes, 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:24.200 we got to really actually step out officially as a 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:28.080 couple and actually smile at cameras and welcome the attention 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:32.720 and welcome the focus on the podcast. It just felt 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:36.520 good to be able to be free of hiding and 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:38.680 running and just avoiding. 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:41.640 And then the day after that, so we're building up 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:43.360 now to Saturday. We get to spend a lot of 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:45.320 time with a lot of the iHeart folks. Had a 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:48.840 nice party out there, and really be grateful everybody out 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:50.640 there and the folks we met and gave some encouraging worries, 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:53.800 folks who were clearly know the podcast world better than 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:56.000 we do, who were giving us tips on how to 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:57.560 handle it and what's going to be coming, and. 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:00.640 We were getting tips and this is great Tamra Judge housewives. 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:03.360 These are folks who spend their lives in front of 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:07.680 the camera actually and then also have had incredible successive podcasts. 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:10.720 So we were taking notes. You know, we were like, 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:14.920 what is this thing called unwanted publicity? And how do 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:18.480 we navigate this in a podcasting world where we are 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:21.120 actually putting our lives out there, our hearts out there 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:22.600 in a way we haven't before. 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:25.120 That is it's so funny to think we were talking, 0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:28.640 you know, a real housewife over there. We could use 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:31.200 some career advice, and that was. 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:36.280 A legitimate conversation that was happening. We were taking notes. 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:39.720 We leave La, we come back here on Sunday, and 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:43.800 then Monday is the day before the launch. Monday was 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:47.840 a crazy day. We got prepared and hunkered down like 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:50.080 there was a storm coming. We did, yeah, like that 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:51.480 was about to be the apocalypse. 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:53.560 You made some healthy salads, I mean healthy salads. 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:56.240 We got battles of waters, some sardines, We got a 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:57.239 bunch of prosecco. 0:15:57.600 --> 0:15:59.480 We hunkered down, we really did. 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:03.200 And then we don't usually stay up that late. I 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:07.080 mean by nine pm. Oftentimes we are asleep on a 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:08.920 lot of it is because we're early risers. You're a 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:10.680 little bit earlier than me. But when you get up 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:13.280 that early nine o'clock is your bedtime. So to stay 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:16.920 up until midnight, we needed a strategy, and we decided 0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:19.800 to land on watching episodes of Wipeout. 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:25.120 Yes, Okay, when you say it out loud, it sounds. 0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:27.960 Ridiculous, but it's I think it's become one of our 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:30.880 absolute favorite shows because you know what, you need. 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:31.640 An escape, right. 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:34.640 Some people have reality shows and escapism, but we had 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:37.000 something we just knew was going to make us laugh. 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:40.240 It's just people falling in the water and getting banged 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:41.720 by the big balls and whatever. 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:43.600 You see the show, right, because he knows it was 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:48.320 like it was so sure enough we have become now 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:50.840 and I'm worried about this. It was like watching election 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:54.400 returns and all we were doing was refreshing the apple. 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:57.280 Right, the jury, where are we yes? And you start 0:16:57.320 --> 0:16:58.680 to get obsessed with it. So if you can take 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:01.800 your mind off of it with people and then caris Hell, 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:07.360 et cetera, you know, it got us to midnight. I'll 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:08.080 put it like that. 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:10.920 So sure enough, twelve, twelve oh one, twelve oh two, 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:14.400 twelve o three. It wasn't up yet, right, so it 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:16.200 takes a minute. I don't know, it takes a minute 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:17.800 to get it loaded or whatever it is. But we 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:19.000 kept refreshing and refreshing. 0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:20.440 It wasn't there was a video of us. We would 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:24.480 have lookedlious, I don't have it yet. Do you have 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:26.359 it yet? It's not loading, it's not loading. 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:30.359 So finally it shows up. We go, Holy hell. And 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:32.800 even though we knew exactly what we said, and we 0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:35.600 had listened to it several times, we asked, we put 0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:40.359 the thing on the on our soundbar and blasted the 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:43.439 entire episode in the house that night and listened to 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:44.560 the forty five minutes of it. 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:48.600 Yes, we did, and we listened to it alongside Amy Sugarman, 0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:50.919 who was in La so it was a little bit 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:53.560 earlier for her. But we were getting, you know, texting 0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:55.960 back and forth throughout the entire episode. 0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:57.879 People know who Amy Sugarman is. We just said it, 0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:00.239 but people know who she is. I don't know they 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:02.159 should Sugar Sugar is. 0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:05.600 I think she can? We can we call her boss lady. 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:06.520 What do y'all call her? Boss? 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:09.720 Lady words. Okay, she's she is the head of all. 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:12.800 She is the creative mind and the person who's been 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:16.160 so great to us at iHeart and wanting to help 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:18.159 us get a podcast off the ground in large, so 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:20.480 she has been great and so she was up with 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:22.760 us until this thing. 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:25.119 With me until about two am. Yeah, that's when I 0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:27.800 finally could take no more and fell asleep. And it's 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:29.680 funny because we went back and looked at the text 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:33.160 and TJ and Sugar were going on until I don't 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:36.320 even know three something and I was out. You don't 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:38.320 see one more text for me until seven am the 0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:40.560 next day. But I looked at all the things I 0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:42.679 missed when I woke up. It was it was encourage. 0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:44.600 You missed a lot, You missed a phone call. I 0:18:44.640 --> 0:18:48.320 had a full conversation. My oldest daughter calls me in 0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:50.960 the middle at three fourteen. Is when it was because 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:54.639 she listened to it and deddeh, good job. And she 0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:56.879 was almost apologetic as well, like I'm sorry, didn't know 0:18:56.880 --> 0:18:59.520
