But it was really a 341 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 5: pretty electric market in terms of the competition. 342 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 2: So some markets are really fiercely. 343 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 5: Competitive and you know, kind of it gets unfriendly, and 344 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 5: other markets are fiercely competitive, but friendly competition. 345 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 2: How would you characterize Boston? Was it friendly competition? 346 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 4: It was friendly competition because I wouldn't stand for it 347 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 4: any other way. I mean, there was no I wanted 348 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 4: to be friends with everybody because I felt we were 349 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 4: all in the same business. So why did we have 350 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 4: to be enemies personally? You know, just come you know, 351 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 4: if we're going to be fighting against each other, you know, 352 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 4: Coke PEPSI, you know who's better, who's got the better campaign, 353 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 4: who's got the better music, who's got the better formats? 354 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 4: So whatever, that's fine, but that people as a whole, 355 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 4: I felt that it was extremely friendly. However, there was 356 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 4: always the problem that I had with other women because 357 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 4: I was so approachable and they wouldn't even give me 358 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 4: the chance. 359 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:46,400 Speaker 3: I didn't, you know. 360 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,199 Speaker 4: No, there was a couple of times where there was 361 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 4: some not so friendly women just because they felt threatened. 362 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 4: And I understand that. But when I was young, I didn't, 363 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,719 Speaker 4: you know, and I all I was trying to do 364 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 4: was achieve goals for myself and I wasn't trying to 365 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 4: hurt anybody. But overall, once you know, the career got 366 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 4: up and running, I didn't find that at all. Except 367 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:15,679 Speaker 4: when I left, every single woman and the building was 368 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 4: lined up. I said, what's going on? They're all lined 369 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 4: up to go see Lander in his office. Oh yeah, 370 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 4: they're all going to apply for your job. 371 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 2: That's it all. 372 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,880 Speaker 3: Thanks. I didn't know you guys all wanted the job. 373 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 2: That's funny. Yeah. Had you always set your sights on 374 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 2: New York City as a goal? 375 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 3: No, I was petrified of New York City? Are you 376 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 3: kidding me? I didn't want to go at all. 377 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,120 Speaker 4: The only reason why I went is because I convinced 378 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 4: the production director now my husband, to go with me. 379 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 4: I said, come on, you want to sit in this 380 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 4: production studio all day? 381 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 3: You want to go to New York. And of course 382 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 3: I was totally bullshitting. 383 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 4: I didn't think he would say yes, because you know, 384 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 4: who's going to just up and leave their job, both 385 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 4: of us and take off like that with six months 386 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 4: disposable income and if we didn't make it, we'd have 387 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 4: to hang our heads and come back. 388 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 2: So he did. 389 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 4: And the rest, Yeah, just sort of fell into place 390 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 4: from there. But that says a lot about you know, 391 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 4: I wrote down my goals. I lived my life as 392 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 4: if I had those goals already accomplished, even though I didn't. 393 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 3: It was just sort of in me. 394 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 2: What were the people that instilled that in you? 395 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 3: My parents? 396 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, especially my dad and well both my mom 397 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 4: and my dad. But my dad what he went through 398 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 4: and you know, in the military, and you know, he 399 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 4: was a green gray and Vietnam and he saw a 400 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:40,919 Speaker 4: lot and he put up with a lot with me 401 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 4: because I was a lot to handle. 402 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 3: I had a lot of energy. 403 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 4: They always used to say that I was going to 404 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:48,919 Speaker 4: grow up and they were not surprised. 405 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 3: I ended up in radio because I love to talk. 406 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 2: But they were supportive and oh yeah, they. 407 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,360 Speaker 3: Were just happy I picked something. 408 00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, but they were a little concerned how I was 409 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 4: going to make a living. 410 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 3: And I think that in and of itself was the reason. 411 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 4: Because they didn't think I was going to be able 412 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 4: to do it. It was like a fire lit under 413 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 4: my ass. I swear anyone who told me don't get 414 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 4: in it's that business is horrible.

Every time someone said that, 416 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,439 Speaker 4: it made me want to achieve it more. And it 417 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 4: started with my parents, so I had to prove to 418 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:28,400 Speaker 4: them that I could do it and make a living 419 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:28,719 Speaker 4: at it. 420 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 2: Did you always see TV in your sights? Yeah? 421 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 4: I always wanted to do TV, so I didn't want 422 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 4: to tell anyone because I was too shy because I 423 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,199 Speaker 4: didn't want people to think I was full of myself. 424 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 3: I didn't want to do TV alone, mind you. 425 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 4: I wanted to do it with a team. 426 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 3: But one day I think it was Joyce col Heywick 427 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 3: on BZ. 428 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 4: She I think she's still doing something.

And of course it worked out great because 452 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 4: I was the ambassador for the radio station on TV, 453 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,439 Speaker 4: so I could help them promote the show and the 454 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 4: station and vice versa. 455 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 2: Wasn't it the Birthday game?

Literally, it was 592 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 4: one of the most memorable, other than perhaps Ringo Star 593 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 4: and bon Jovi. When you're in a building that has 594 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 4: fourteen floors and you never see anyone, when everybody on 595 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,719 Speaker 4: every floor shows up on your floor, you know somebody 596 00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 4: significant is there and you know they want to see them. 597 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 2: So, I mean, the job was fun. 598 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 4: So it took a number of days to prep because 599 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 4: I had to basically know every single thing about these 600 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 4: people and their life and their career, and I wanted 601 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 4: to be educated before I talked to them. Remember Larry 602 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 4: King would say I wouldn't do any research. I just 603 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 4: wanted to learn like the audience. 604 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I did the exact opposite, So. 605 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 2: I Larry should have considered that a time, I think. 606 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 4: So I agree with you, because you would have had 607 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 4: a better time because you would know where they were 608 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 4: going and understood their story better. 609 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 2: I don't know even it worked for for quite a while. 610 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 2: He at a point should have probably thought that a 611 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,479 Speaker 2: little bit. I don't think anybody was going to tell 612 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:37,239 Speaker 2: Larry what to do. 613 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 3: No, I don't think you don't tell her. 614 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think many people did, obviously, because if 615 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 4: they did, you wouldn't have been wearying those ridiculous suspenders. 616 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 2: True. 617 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 5: True, But so you took the opposite approach and really 618 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 5: immersed yourself. 619 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 4: I took three days to prep and then shoot day 620 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 4: the day before. And this is why I connected with 621 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 4: Myna so much and even Queen Latifa, to be honest 622 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 4: with you, because after I read our book, I felt 623 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 4: like we were sisters that were separated at birth. We 624 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 4: went so many similar things in our lives. The reason 625 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 4: why I brought up why Nona was because one of 626 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 4: the things that she talked about was visualization. 627 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 3: And you'll hear that. 628 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 4: In the Music Save Me podcast. It's big and it works. 629 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 4: It's real, is no joke. 630 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 3: And I used to. 631 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 4: Do it every night before I would go to actually 632 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 4: sit and shoot with an artist and I Usually it 633 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 4: would be like a sixteen hour day because they performed 634 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 4: all the songs. Then we'd strike the set and then 635 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 4: go and do the interview after. And usually I would 636 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 4: be entertaining them while this was happening. In between stuff. 637 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 4: We would do crazy things, you know, all sorts of stuff. 638 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 4: But every night before I go in, I would visualize 639 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 4: me with the person I was interviewing, with the people 640 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 4: I worked with, laughing, smiling and having a ball.
