Welcome, Jeremy. 9 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: How are you doing today? I am fine. It's a 10 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: pleasure to be here. Okay, So let's jump right. And 11 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: you've written a book called f Off Chloe. I mean, 12 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 1: I love the title. Can you give us a brief 13 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,680 Speaker 1: overview of what the book is about. So, the book 14 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: is about modern media, and it's a humor book, and 15 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: it's about dealing with millennials as as it they've infiltrated 16 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: media and the Excel, Google, Dropbox, Share doc and stufface 17 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: of of the industry which I can't stand, and just 18 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: the absurdity of media and pr and what it's become. 19 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 1: So it's a humor book. Oh my goodness. But there 20 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: are pictures just in case we can't actually read words. 21 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: You've given us drawing so we can follow along. Absolutely. 22 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 1: I have the illustrator. His name is Darren Greenblatt, and 23 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: he is a fashion designer artist and I knew he 24 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: could capture that millennial perfectly. So he is drawn Chloe 25 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: and all the different incarnations of Chloe as we know 26 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: her to go along with the text, and it's perfect. 27 00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: I'm so happy with her. I have to say, I'm 28 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: a little jealous of summer her outfits. They look so cute. 29 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: Can I get the name of all the designers? Yeah? 30 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: I mean he You know, Darren's gift is he looks 31 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: at the runway and he draws what he sees. So 32 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: Chloe is wealthy because you know, she's a superstar and 33 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: her parents told her so. And she's very fashionable because 34 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: that's the only thing she cares about. And so Chloe 35 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: dresses better than any of us. She has a black card, 36 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: she never has to pay the bill, and you know, 37 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: she's fabulous and we're not. Yeah, so she thinks like 38 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 1: maybe an apple costs like maybe ten dollars. She has 39 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: no clue. She's never looked at her seat, so Okay, 40 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: I have to know why did you pick the name Chloe? 41 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 1: Does the letters stand for something? What exactly is it 42 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 1: about that name? The name is because every millennial seems 43 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 1: to be named Chloe, And if I looked at my mailbox, 44 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: that's all I saw. And one day I had done 45 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 1: a whole strategy for a client and I sent it 46 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: to them, and Chloe, who I think is all of 47 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: like ten years old or whatever, replied back t L 48 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 1: d R l O L. And I didn't know what 49 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: that meant. I had to go on Google. T L 50 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: d R means too long didn't read. And I was 51 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: like so offended because I put all this time to 52 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: the strategy and she's like, ha hau, too long didn't read. 53 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,519 Speaker 1: And then I thought, this is the funniest thing I've 54 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: ever seen. And her name was Chloe. Wait a second, 55 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 1: are you serious? Was this? This was where a client 56 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: and they actually wrote back, you did the work that 57 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: they asked you to do, that they were paying you for, 58 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: and then they said too long didn't read. Chloe did? 59 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: I'm sure you know she was one of many people 60 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: on the email. But Chloe did not think it was 61 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: it rose to her level to to to read Oh 62 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: my goodness, that always stuck with me, and her name 63 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: was Chloe. So I'm like, okay, I'm going to use this. 64 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: Well great, I wonder if it's one of the Chloe's 65 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: I now anyway, many of them. There's so many of them. 66 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: It's so interesting because in the book you do have 67 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: this entire section about using these acronyms that these Chloes use, 68 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: because I would have had to look it up to 69 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: and I'm a journalist. I write for a living. So 70 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: what are some of your favorite acronyms from the book 71 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 1: other than that one, which is pretty hilarious. Oh, there's 72 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: FML for f my life. There's SUS for suspect, Oh god, 73 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: there is. We all know what l O L is, 74 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,359 Speaker 1: you know, and it's funny. L O L. For a 75 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: while I thought was lots of love. And once I 76 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 1: had somebody who going who was going through a bad time. 77 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: I replied l O L, thinking it was lots of love. 78 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: I think you're l O L is better than the 79 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 1: one we use it for, So maybe we need to 80 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: make a switch of some sort. I'm thinking, yeah, but 81 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: I do have a whole list of what they mean 82 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: because I'm constantly oh, r O f L rolling on 83 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: floor laughing, I DK, I don't know. Yeah, I have 84 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,679 Speaker 1: no problem with these. What I'm having a hard time 85 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 1: grasping is that these are used when you're working professionally. Personally, 86 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: they're fabulous, there's so much fun. But you saw these 87 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 1: in professional work emails and emails. I'm seeing it in 88 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: client presentations now, and you know, people are actually talking. 89 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: They're like, hru. I'm like what you're you're saying it now? 90 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: Oh lord, these young people, it's so challenging with their phones. 91 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: They haven't quite figured out how to talk not through 92 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 1: the phone. It's kind of become their language. I love 93 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: that you've given us some of the ways to identify Chloe. 94 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: I've already told you I want her wardrobe. We know 95 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: she has a black card. Are there some other ways 96 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: that we can figure out exactly who she is in 97 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: the crowd? Oh? Yeah, you know. She she's put more 98 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 1: time on her tender profile than her success plan. She 99 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: does not answer her voicemail. She doesn't even have voice mail. 100 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: Well she does, she just doesn't know it. You know, 101 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: everything is very exaggerary. Everything's the best ever. She can't deal. 102 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: She can't deal many things have changed her life. She's 103 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 1: over everything. You know, everything is exaggerated by a thousand percent. Yeah, 104 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 1: and you know everybody knows a Chloe. Chloe isn't There's 105 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 1: a Chloe in every office.

And she was very 118 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: offended that she wasn't listed in this email. And I said, 119 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: but you weren't part of the project. She didn't have email, 120 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: she didn't have voicemail. She timed her crying to when 121 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: my boss passed by. Schedules were completely random. You know, 122 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: start time was negotiable.

Publicists will always 152 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: lie to you. No one in Los Angeles eats. Yes, 153 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: that is true. In l A. It takes four hours 154 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: to get anywhere that oh my goodness. L A is 155 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: the worst trying to get around the makeup and hair 156 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: people talk to each other so and a makeup artist 157 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: will ruin any shoot because they talk smack into the 158 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: talent's ear. So literally, when you're doing a photo shoot, 159 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: the most important casting is the makeup artist really, because 160 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 1: they're in the talent's here the whole day. They get 161 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: the most and you know who you're shooting is the 162 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,199 Speaker 1: most important person because you know you need them to deliver. Well, 163 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: they're in that chair for hours at a time, and 164 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: the makeup artist is always like I wouldn't wear that, 165 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: you know, or I don't like that hair, and they 166 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 1: can ruin a shoot. So that is the most important cast. 167 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: You have to have a good makeup artist. She has 168 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: to like, you know, Rob and I have heard stories 169 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: behind the scenes with certain celebrities and how much they 170 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 1: were detested by the makeup artists. And this is the 171 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 1: person in charge of how you're going to look on camera. 172 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: This is the person. I want to be the nicest too. 173 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: I always Yeah, when I was on a TV show, 174 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: I was basically always bringing gifts to the makeup artist 175 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: because I was like, please make me look pretty. I 176 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: don't want to get notes from my mama later. Well, 177 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: you know, I was once Um, when I was in 178 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: my PR career at CBS, I took to actresses from 179 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: a show to Milan for a photo shoot. And one 180 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: of the things that publicists managers do is they lie 181 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: to the celebrities or what they're what size they are, okay, 182 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: And so we got sizes that were much smaller than 183 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: a certain person and nothing fit because and I had 184 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: to take them shopping, Oh my goodness, because we had 185 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,439 Speaker 1: no clothes. Nothing fits. So celebrities, their their team will 186 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: always lie to them because you know, they don't buy 187 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: anything themselves. They'll always lie to them on on other size. Yeah, 188 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: but isn't it. Isn't it the case where so you 189 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: get the clothes and you cut out the size tag 190 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: so they don't know what size they really are. Oh yeah, 191 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: that that happens. And you know a lot of like 192 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: designer samples, they don't have the size. But you know, 193 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: if you're pulling from a showroom, you only have sample sizes, 194 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: which is like for a woman it's zero to like 195 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: a four, maybe a six, And these a lot of 196 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: celebrities think they're in that range, which they're not, and 197 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 1: the stylists has to tell them, well, baby, it's fun 198 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 1: to eat. It's fun to eat, So I I don't 199 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: fault my my my female celebrities who want to have 200 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: a sandwich now and then it's starts. It's hard to 201 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: say a size for I trust me, I try so. 202 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: I say, you know what, we need a revolution where 203 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: it is okay to be a size six in Hollywood. 204 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 1: This is what I want to start today. Well, it 205 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: sounds like you do a lot of other things than 206 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: just kind of publicizing your clients. If you have to 207 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: buy them clothes, What are some of the other jobs 208 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: you have to do when you're a PR person. It's 209 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: not just about signing those press releases. Oh no, I 210 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: mean a lot of it is, you know, protecting them, 211 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: damage control. If someone does something that maybe they shouldn't, 212 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 1: you have to clean that up, getting them affiliate with brands, sponsorships. 213 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: You know, I've had I've booked cars. In my previous life, 214 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 1: I actually traveled the world with celebrities and you know, 215 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: making sure their hotel room is nice. I had one 216 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: celebrity that I had arrived early in Paris and I 217 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: had to go to every room and I was literally 218 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: on video with him inspecting rooms until he would agree 219 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: to get on the plane. Oh my goodness. Yeah. So 220 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: you know, I don't really do celebrities now because that 221 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: kind of jaded me. But yeah, pre's everything. You know, 222 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: people think it's so glamorous, it's not. Run don't go 223 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: into this field. It sounds like there's a little bit 224 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: of baby sitting involved. But since you do know, since 225 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: you do know the PR world, what do you think 226 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: is the worst mistake a celebrity has made recently in 227 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 1: terms of their PR Who do you think has just 228 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: really mucked it up out there? I mean Matt Damon. 229 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: Did you know he did that interview where he made 230 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: a very insensitive joke and his publicist, I don't know 231 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: if his publicist was on the line or not. He 232 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: didn't mean it. It was very innocuous, but it kind 233 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: of took over the story. And he's one of the 234 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: good guys, and that was kind of sad. You know 235 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: what the thing is, Hollywood publicists get get a bad rap, 236 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: but you know, if the plane is going down, that's 237 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: who you want on the plane because they get stuff 238 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: done and the plane won't go down. Like, I have 239 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 1: a lot of admiration for them, even though they're horrible people. 240 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: They get stuff done, so you don't see as many 241 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: slip ups as you used to. Well that's good. Well 242 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: here here at Naughty but Nice, we love celebrities. So 243 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: what has been one of your favorite celebrities to work 244 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: with in the past. You know, I was so spoiled, 245 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 1: you know, Alison Janny as a Sweetheart and Farris was amazing. 246 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 1: Michael Weatherly from n c I s Cody to Pablo, 247 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: Oh good lord. The cast a Big Bang Theory just 248 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: fantast And what was funny is before that show was 249 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: a hit, I flew them from l A to New 250 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: York to do a big photo shoot and I forgot 251 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: the air and the spare rule. And someone raced to 252 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: my office and said, you put them all on the 253 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: same plane. I'm like, yeah, Like, what if that plane 254 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: goes down, you killed a billion dollar franchise. This is 255 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: something you have to think about and important for us 256 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: to point out. The reason why you were with the 257 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: Big Bang Theory cast is because you were the publicist 258 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: at CBS. Tell me everything. I was in corporate and entertainment, 259 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: and yeah, I was in corporate and then we published 260 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: a glossy magazine that I used to oversee. So we 261 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: would do photo shoots with all the actors, and I 262 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: traveled with them and I set it up and I 263 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: hired the photographer, so I really got to see them 264 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: up close, you know, in the morning before makeup and hair, 265 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: so I really got to see who they really are. 266 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: Most of them were pretty cool. I had a few nightmares, 267 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: but most of the people I saw. But you know, 268 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: the advantage was we got to choose who we wanted 269 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: to photograph and travel with, and so we knew not 270 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: to bring certain people. Charlie Sheen was never in a 271 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: photo shoot rightfully. So now now now I'm sure, I'm sure. 272 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 1: I'm sure Charlie is a lovely man when he's not 273 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: in front of the camera. So you have an interesting 274 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: You talk a little bit about working with journalists, which, 275 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: of course Rob and I both are working gossip journalists, 276 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: So just tell me what do we really like. Well, 277 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: journalists are are are a special breed. I started as 278 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: a journalist. My first job was in an as a 279 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: newspaper reporter, so I understand journalists more than most PR 280 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 1: people because I was one. You know, the thing that 281 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: journalists now is, especially like the mainstream newspapers, is they're 282 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: all being asked to do so much more for so 283 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: much less. So it's not just writing your story. Now 284 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: you have to be your own publicist. You have to 285 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: tweet it, you have to promote, you have to go 286 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: on radio, you have to go on TV. All the 287 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: while people are cutting costs and journals are losing their jobs. 288 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: And so it's a very challenging climate. You know, magazines 289 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: are closing and being sold. So I was told clients, 290 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: journalists are not your friends, but they're not the enemy. 291 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: They don't work for you, They work for their readers, 292 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 1: and they want a good story. They're not rewriting your 293 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: press release. So if you don't have a good story, 294 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: don't come to them. I like that. That makes so 295 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: much sense. I'm gonna when people send me a story 296 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: that's not a story, I'm gonna say, well, Jeremy says, 297 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: all right, So we all need to know this because 298 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: I'm certain it's going to happen to all our Natis 299 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: out there at least once in their life that they'll 300 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 1: be sitting in front of Anna Wintour. What's the utter 301 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 1: in chief of Vogue. What's one thing we should or 302 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 1: should not do if we meet her? Well, the thing 303 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 1: with Anna is is she is incredibly efficient. Her office 304 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: works like a Swiss watch. You show up early or 305 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: on time, you're not going to have more than fifteen 306 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: minutes with her. If that, she can read you like 307 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: a hawk. She is incredibly perceptive, and so you know 308 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: you go in there prepared to answer questions don't babble, 309 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: don't don't lie. You know, she asks you know, what 310 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: do you like to do, and you say tennis, Well 311 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 1: make sure you play tennis because she will read it. 312 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 1: So you know, there's this whole notion of her as 313 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: this Glamazon and and and Miranda Priestley. But you know 314 00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 1: she's a businesswoman and that magazine were works like a 315 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: Swiss watch, alright, And I think that's a lot of 316 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 1: people don't know that about her, but it really is 317 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: remarkably efficient. There's a lot going on behind those sunglasses. 318 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:16,679 Speaker 1: Oh yes, okay, Well, maybe the most important question that 319 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 1: I have today is when and where can we get 320 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: your book?
