Speaker 1: Welcome back to Access Podcast, the podcast about podcast. I'm
Speaker 1: Maddie Stout and producer Z. What's up, Mattie. This is
Speaker 1: our last episode for the second season. Wow, a little
Speaker 1: a little early on, but we've got a great episode
Speaker 1: lined up for you. There's a new podcast on iHeart
Speaker 1: Radio called The Daily Dive and the host is Oscar Ramirez.
Speaker 1: We're gonna hear from him in a second, but let's
Speaker 1: check out a little bit of The Daily Dive right now.
Speaker 1: When is the right time to move out of your
Speaker 1: parents house? The thirty ye old Michael Rotondo, The time
Speaker 1: had come and went, so much so that his parents
Speaker 1: took legal action to evict him from their house. His
Speaker 1: parents sent him a number of eviction notices and finally
Speaker 1: took him to court, but Michael was still fighting to stay.
Speaker 1: Oscar Amirez, friend, good to have you on the show.
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me, Maddie. I'm pretty excited about about
Speaker 1: the new podcast, The Daily Dive, And I'm really excited
Speaker 1: for you, Oscar, because you're somebody who has worked a
Speaker 1: lot as a producer and this is this is the
Speaker 1: first show where you're the star. How do you feel
Speaker 1: about that? I'm pretty excited you're right. I mean, I've
Speaker 1: been producing for such a long time, and I had, like,
Speaker 1: I had a podcast way back in the day, you
Speaker 1: know when we all start out and we have you know,
Speaker 1: our little pet projects. I had one with a buddy
Speaker 1: of mine, Mondo Hernandez, and you know, it was just
Speaker 1: about music. It was about a couple of other random stuff,
Speaker 1: news news items. But yeah, this is the first thing
Speaker 1: that I've kind of been able to call my own now,
Speaker 1: so I'm very excited. Well, I'm a I'm a fan
Speaker 1: of a good radio story because I never have met
Speaker 1: anybody who has like a boring radio story of how
Speaker 1: they got into radio. So don't don't don't be the first. Um,
Speaker 1: how did you end up in this wacky career. Well,
Speaker 1: like I said, I I had my friend Mondo, who
Speaker 1: I was working with at another station. We were doing
Speaker 1: live and local show. I was just, you know, kind
Speaker 1: of an intern. I would work on some web stuff,
Speaker 1: but we're doing a live in local show with the host.
Speaker 1: We were in l a. But we were doing our
Speaker 1: show for Denver, Colorado, and we did that for a
Speaker 1: few years. We doubled up. We had another show that
Speaker 1: was for El Paso, Texas, but it was the same thing.
Speaker 1: It was this live and local thing that we were
Speaker 1: trying to accomplish, and out of live in local in
Speaker 1: El Paso, based out of l A. That was the
Speaker 1: deal that our host had and and then two thou
Speaker 1: eight hit and everything crashed. So I got laid off
Speaker 1: for a little bit. And then I was I kept
Speaker 1: emailing people here at KFI, which where I where I
Speaker 1: started the rest of my radio career, and I said, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm available, let me help. I have some board up experience,
Speaker 1: and they brought me on board. I started as a
Speaker 1: board up UM. I moved into producing a food show
Speaker 1: called The Fork Report with Neil Savedro. We would do
Speaker 1: you know, have restaurants come in, bring us some food,
Speaker 1: We taste of food, We talked about food and news items.
Speaker 1: There was a lot of fun. I moved on into
Speaker 1: producing associate producing for the John and Ken Show on
Speaker 1: KFI UM. Then I got my own chance to host
Speaker 1: the Gary and Shannon Show. I was the main producer
Speaker 1: for that and I was just doing all that stuff
Speaker 1: for over the course of like seven years, I believe.
Speaker 1: And now I moved on into another role at the station,
Speaker 1: and then the Daily Dive podcast came along, so I
Speaker 1: was able to go through there. But it was just
Speaker 1: you know, constant different shows, learning a bunch of different stuff,
Speaker 1: you know, from board op to producing, hosting. It's I've
Speaker 1: just kind of run the whole gamut. I I'm a
Speaker 1: fan of the starting at board up and working your
Speaker 1: way up, but I think most of us started, uh
Speaker 1: in radio. I don't think a lot of people understand.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm a I'm a producer by by trade, um,
Speaker 1: but I don't think a lot of people understand, like
Speaker 1: what all a producer is responsive before. I know it's
Speaker 1: different from every show, but you know, what are some
Speaker 1: of the things both glamorous and unglamorous that you have
Speaker 1: found yourself doing as as the producer of a of
Speaker 1: a radio show. You don't have to be specific if
Speaker 1: it's something bad, no, I mean, well, you know, the
Speaker 1: most unglamorous parts I think are when you're hounding down guests.
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's tough to always, you know, be
Speaker 1: calling somebody over and over and hey, I need somebody,
Speaker 1: can you come on? And you know that can get
Speaker 1: a little tiresome sometimes. But on the other flip side,
Speaker 1: you know, when you really get a great segment together
Speaker 1: and the host knocks it out and everybody's really happy,
Speaker 1: and the listeners chime in on social media and they say,
Speaker 1: we really enjoyed that. I mean, that really makes it
Speaker 1: feel really good. You can't you can't really replace that
Speaker 1: feeling because you know, it's touching people and people are
Speaker 1: enjoying it and having fun. And that's really what makes
Speaker 1: me feel pretty proud about, you know, producing some good segments.
Speaker 1: I would say with radio that the highs are very
Speaker 1: high and the lows can be pretty low. It it
Speaker 1: can be emotionally straining, especially in this business where, um,
Speaker 1: you know, things get changed oftentimes when you have no
Speaker 1: say in it. You know, when it comes to hosts
Speaker 1: and shows and they're here and they're gone. Um. Have
Speaker 1: you found that to be true as well as far
Speaker 1: as the emotional taxings of this career, totally? Uh. You know,
Speaker 1: it's not terribly difficult what we do. It's not physically
Speaker 1: taxing a lot of times, but it's stressful. It's mentally taxing. Um.
Speaker 1: And you know, when you're on live radio, hitting that
Speaker 1: clock is really important. You have to make sure a
Speaker 1: segment times out. You gotta hit your breaks. So the
Speaker 1: commercials can play. You've got to conceptualize a segment in
Speaker 1: your head so that it all times out. And you know,
Speaker 1: depending on on the station, sometimes you have you know,
Speaker 1: seven eight minutes up to ten minutes for a segment.
Speaker 1: You gotta make sure it fits, and you gotta make
Speaker 1: sure it lasts the whole the whole segment to you
Speaker 1: don't want to run short. Um. So yeah, it's totally
Speaker 1: stressful a lot of times. And and like I said,
Speaker 1: you know when you're especially when you're trying to track
Speaker 1: down guests that are part of an emotional story, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe part of a tragedy, those are really tough to
Speaker 1: handle because you want to be sensitive to the guests.
Speaker 1: But the same time, you know it's very newsworthy and
Speaker 1: you you got to get it for your listeners. Did
Speaker 1: you find that you fall into the category of news
Speaker 1: junkie or is it something you do at work? Uh? No,
Speaker 1: I have become a news junkie when I first started.
Speaker 1: You know, obviously pay attention to the news what's going on,
Speaker 1: But once you get into producer mode, you're kind of
Speaker 1: always working. Even you know, you go I would go home,
Speaker 1: sit down in the couch, pull my phone out and
Speaker 1: look at my news apps, and I'd start saving stories
Speaker 1: for tomorrow for the next day. Uh, start making notes. Oh,
Speaker 1: this would be a great guest to get. So you
Speaker 1: kind of just become the news junkie just because it's
Speaker 1: part of your job. So no, I would do it
Speaker 1: all all the time, at work, at home, anytime. The
Speaker 1: good part about being a news junkie and being your
Speaker 1: job is that you can write anything off for taxes.
Speaker 1: According to my accountant in New York, he he thinks
Speaker 1: any meal, anytime I talk about anything, hey, that's a
Speaker 1: write off, Matt said, talk about this, that's a write off.
Speaker 1: That's a rite off. So hey, just keep that in mind.
Speaker 1: By wife works in media also, and it's the same
Speaker 1: thing like our Hulu and Netflix, and it's like it's
Speaker 1: show prep. You know, you're you're of a younger generation
Speaker 1: of of folks working in news. Do you feel that
Speaker 1: that there's a passion for paying attention to what's going
Speaker 1: on the world? Um, now, as much as it has
Speaker 1: been in the past. I'll just give you my two
Speaker 1: cents on I teach at a university, so um, I
Speaker 1: don't think that the students realize that their news junkies,
Speaker 1: but they spend so much time on social media that
Speaker 1: they actually do know a lot about what's going on
Speaker 1: in the world. Do you feel that, Um, you know
Speaker 1: your generation is as informed or or not. I I
Speaker 1: kind of tend to agree with with exactly what you
Speaker 1: said about the social media stuff. I mean, it's it's
Speaker 1: different now, I feel, Um, you know, we're looking at
Speaker 1: our snapchats and our Instagrams and you're getting news items
Speaker 1: through there. You know, Snapchat in particular has a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of different you know, their stories that they tell,
Speaker 1: but they're all kind of loosely related news items, and
Speaker 1: you can even subscribe to a bunch of news items. Um.
Speaker 1: So I think people are informed. There's just a different
Speaker 1: way they absorb the information. They'll get it through their Facebook.
Speaker 1: Um I don't think. Maybe a lot of people don't
Speaker 1: necessarily read as much like a classic newspaper, but they
Speaker 1: follow their blogs, they follow their social media. So yeah,
Speaker 1: they are informed. It's just a different way of taking
Speaker 1: in the information. Uh So, Yeah, I just feel but
Speaker 1: I think also, uh, you know, with this latest election,
Speaker 1: people went into overdrive. They wanted to know what happened,
Speaker 1: what's going on now? They're going into overdrive trying to
Speaker 1: find more stories, trying to find out what's going on,
Speaker 1: keeping in touch with what's happening every day. That's all.
Speaker 1: We have so many crazy political stories happening constantly because
Speaker 1: everybody just wants to know more and more about it. Well,
Speaker 1: I I tell people this all the time. Donald Trump
Speaker 1: is the best thing to have happened to an uneducated
Speaker 1: electorate where um, people who were before Trump, an uneducated
Speaker 1: electorate who didn't pay attention to what's going on in government,
Speaker 1: does not not paying attention to what bills are passed
Speaker 1: or who's secretary of whatever they do. Now this is
Speaker 1: he This, his little reality show has helped create a
Speaker 1: world where um, people are more interested in do you agree?
Speaker 1: I totally agree? Um, you know it, whether you agree
Speaker 1: with his politics or not. When the election happened, you know,
Speaker 1: we all remember those pictures that were widely circulated where
Speaker 1: people just look dumbfounded there like how could Hillary lose?
Speaker 1: And how could Donald Trump win? I think that really
Speaker 1: caused a stern a lot of people where they said, well,
Speaker 1: now I really need to look into what the process is,
Speaker 1: how does this all work? Because I didn't know what
Speaker 1: was going on before, and a lot of people I
Speaker 1: have friends that say, oh, I don't vote, I don't care.
Speaker 1: It doesn't make you know, it doesn't help, it doesn't
Speaker 1: impact anything. But people started realizing you have to pay attention,
Speaker 1: you have to be part of the process so that
Speaker 1: you know you can get what you want, so you
Speaker 1: can be represented the way you feel he should be represented.
Speaker 1: So I totally agree. I think it he has been
Speaker 1: great for business, um, and and for people just getting involved,
Speaker 1: learning more about the process, knowing what's going on with
Speaker 1: your country. Yeah, but the flip side, it has caused
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot more divisiveness as far as
Speaker 1: the news that we're we're where we get um where
Speaker 1: before UM, you might have felt that CNN was more
Speaker 1: uh you know, maybe maybe not so liberally slanted, and
Speaker 1: now they're totally cast as the anti Trump network. Uh.
Speaker 1: Fox has always been that way, so they're not surprising anybody.
Speaker 1: But we see so much more what what people were
Speaker 1: saying are partisan news, and I think that's where we
Speaker 1: can steer this into what you're trying to do with
Speaker 1: the Daily Dive, which is trying to take that out
Speaker 1: of there a little bit. Yeah, you know, in the
Speaker 1: time that I've been in radio, there was a time
Speaker 1: where it was very left right, national type news. You know,
Speaker 1: we had the big people like Rush Limbaugh and things
Speaker 1: like that, and then it kind of changed. In my opinion,
Speaker 1: I think it changed a little. It where it was
Speaker 1: trying to be a little more straight, a little more center.
Speaker 1: Let's just give you the facts. You can determine things
Speaker 1: on your own. But with this latest election, it kind
Speaker 1: of seemed to go back a little bit. Everybody's in
Speaker 1: their own corners again and fighting tooth and nail to
Speaker 1: you know, be proven right or to say, hey, my guys,
Speaker 1: is the right guy? Um so? I yeah, I think
Speaker 1: it's definitely been in that end. With the podcast, you know,
Speaker 1: I I try to evaluate issues on both sides all
Speaker 1: the time. You know, everybody has a valid opinion. Let's
Speaker 1: explore those things. Let's talk about this side, let's talk
Speaker 1: about that side, and the listener can make their own conclusions.
Speaker 1: I'm not here to tell you what to think, but
Speaker 1: I'm gonna here, gonna I'm gonna give you some I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give you some information and then, like I said,
Speaker 1: you make the determination. So do you find that that's
Speaker 1: hard to not have ah, somebody interpret something as a
Speaker 1: spin when you report a story. Oh totally. I mean
Speaker 1: we can even with other shows that I've done, Uh
Speaker 1: what I would talk to the host after and we'd say,
Speaker 1: you know, we'd a really good right there, we kind
Speaker 1: of right in the middle, and then we'll get social
Speaker 1: media feedback that says, hey, you'r way this way or
Speaker 1: your way on the right, and we look at each
Speaker 1: other and say, is that really what happened? You know,
Speaker 1: we don't really understand how some people hear different things,
Speaker 1: but a lot of times people hear what they want
Speaker 1: to hear. So yeah, it is kind of difficult to
Speaker 1: stay right in the middle. And but like I said,
Speaker 1: that's the effort. I'm gonna give you the information and
Speaker 1: let's have you determine what what should think after that.
Speaker 1: What have you learned? Um, the podcast has been out
Speaker 1: for a few weeks now, what what have you learned
Speaker 1: so far in your podcasting journey? Mm hmm. It's an
Speaker 1: interesting question. Uh, it's a lot tougher than I thought that.
Speaker 1: The daily thing, Uh really comes up on you fast.
Speaker 1: You know. When we had our let's say our regular
Speaker 1: shows that I would produce before, you know, we'd always
Speaker 1: have the our clock. We knew what time we were
Speaker 1: going on. With the podcast, it's a little more free
Speaker 1: wheelings of Sometimes we'll try to book guests, will be
Speaker 1: waiting on, you know, somebody to bite, and then we'll
Speaker 1: have to rush into the studio and and and do
Speaker 1: something really quick. So I think just kind of how
Speaker 1: quick time goes by really Uh, I'm kind of learning that,
Speaker 1: you know, it goes by in a flash. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: think that when you do a daily podcast, there's there's
Speaker 1: a lot of things that people don't realize they go
Speaker 1: into it when they listen to um, you know shows
Speaker 1: like The Daily from the New York Times. You know
Speaker 1: that they've got a whole host of people working on them.
Speaker 1: You've got a pretty soma staff. Um, you know what
Speaker 1: what is you know, what is one thing that that
Speaker 1: happens daily that that the listener would have no idea
Speaker 1: went into a segment? Well, like I said, you just
Speaker 1: alluded to. Uh, you know other podcasts that have this
Speaker 1: big infrastructure like The Daily, you know they have the
Speaker 1: the New York Times behind them. Uh, they're always you know,
Speaker 1: working on stories. So when a story is gonna break,
Speaker 1: they say, hey, I got this big scoop. Let's do
Speaker 1: this for the podcast, you know it have a super
Speaker 1: small staff on this side, so we're we have to
Speaker 1: wait for a story to develop. Then we'll chase down
Speaker 1: those leads, get the right the right person to talk
Speaker 1: to somebody who's been working that story, and then we'll
Speaker 1: go ahead and we'll do the the interview, will uh
Speaker 1: will dissect the case. We'll we'll dissect the the the issue.
Speaker 1: So I think that's kind of where where we're at.
Speaker 1: You know, we're a small staff. It's we're always waiting
Speaker 1: to see what's developing and then going that way. Do
Speaker 1: you have a favorite episode that you've done so far?
Speaker 1: We just did when that went up yesterday or today
Speaker 1: for the Lorely Anything. I just I thought it was hilarious.
Speaker 1: It was the version of the dress. And I just
Speaker 1: love those things that everybody can really relate to so easily.
Speaker 1: You know, you hear it and instantly you have an
Speaker 1: opinion about it. So I always love those, and we
Speaker 1: the angle that we took was let's find out who
Speaker 1: started who started the you know, who found the audio,
Speaker 1: who act who actually recorded the audio, and then uh,
Speaker 1: you know, what does it all mean? And just briefly.
Speaker 1: You know, it was a high school freshman who was
Speaker 1: studying for one of her exams, went onto vocabulary dot
Speaker 1: Com and click the link for Laurel to hear what
Speaker 1: it sounded like, just so she can study her note cards.
Speaker 1: And then we go back and find out that vocabulary
Speaker 1: dot Com ten years ago hired an opera singer to
Speaker 1: read like thirty thousand words for their website. So it's
Speaker 1: an opera singer who voiced it. And then beyond that,
Speaker 1: you know what it does, what your brain does to it,
Speaker 1: how you hear it, and and and then everybody else,
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, just has a quick opinion
Speaker 1: about it. You hear this or you hear that, and
Speaker 1: it's you're on both sides of it. So I just
Speaker 1: love those things. And and it was one of my
Speaker 1: favorite episodes that we just did recently. Oh, I'm so excited.
Speaker 1: I'm so glad you explained it too, because I didn't
Speaker 1: get to hear it yet. So are you are you
Speaker 1: a Yanni or Laurel guy? So here's what happened. I
Speaker 1: listened to it the first time and clearest can be,
Speaker 1: it was Yanni, And to play it from my wife
Speaker 1: and I'm it was completely Laurel, and it's been Laurel
Speaker 1: ever since. So um, it's really odd. I mean, it
Speaker 1: completely switched on me, and now I can't hear Yanny
Speaker 1: at all. So yeah, I was Yanni person from the beginning. Um.
Speaker 1: For the podcast, what we did was we changed the
Speaker 1: pitch higher and lower, and then you at one point
Speaker 1: you can hear the crossover, but even beyond that. Later,
Speaker 1: when we were editing the podcast, in my headphones, I
Speaker 1: heard Laurel and I said, what, I never heard Laurel before.
Speaker 1: I ripped my headphones off and turned the speakers on
Speaker 1: my computer up, and it went back to Yanny. So
Speaker 1: it's it's all over the place. It depends what speakers
Speaker 1: you're using, headphones, It's a lot of different factors. But
Speaker 1: the definitive answer is that it's Laurel because it's came
Speaker 1: from vocabulary dot com read by an opera singer ten
Speaker 1: years ago. I think that one thing I loved about
Speaker 1: the whole thing is that I love it when people
Speaker 1: get nerdy about audio because in our business, we do,
Speaker 1: you know, we know what to look. We look at
Speaker 1: wave forms. Were you know, I'm looking at one right now,
Speaker 1: was and recording this, uh, and it's fun to see
Speaker 1: other people get in and get into that, and I
Speaker 1: think it's it also speaks to the to the importance
Speaker 1: of of audio and humans lives, and it's one of
Speaker 1: the things that we get to do with podcasters is
Speaker 1: really touch that emotion that only audio can touch. I agree,
Speaker 1: and you know, just briefly touching still on this Yanni
Speaker 1: Laurel thing, I was trying to do some researchers what's
Speaker 1: going on, what's going on? Um, trying to find out
Speaker 1: some explainer videos and this one guy had totally had me.
Speaker 1: He says, you gotta divide the audio into stereo. And
Speaker 1: he's like, see you have the two channels here and
Speaker 1: you see the two different wave forms, and he's like,
Speaker 1: and then you press this button and then he played
Speaker 1: the rick Roll song and I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I can't believe I just felt for this whole thing.
Speaker 1: But but You's like, I'm trying to find out what
Speaker 1: the secret is, UM. But yeah, you know, and beyond
Speaker 1: that with this whole podcast a phenomenon that's going huge
Speaker 1: now everybody is trying to do podcast it is you know,
Speaker 1: you want to you want to take in information you
Speaker 1: want to take in stories on your own time. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of compelling storytelling with um, you know, classics
Speaker 1: like Sereal and I say classics even though it's only
Speaker 1: a few years old, right, um, but just really compelling
Speaker 1: storytelling that you can take in on your own time.
Speaker 1: And and you know, I tried to take into some
Speaker 1: good podcasts as as often as I can, just because
Speaker 1: I love long form storytelling. And uh. I obviously we
Speaker 1: do something daily here because it's we're more news focused,
Speaker 1: but I'll always take the time to go back and
Speaker 1: listen to somebody something that somebody put together over the
Speaker 1: course of weeks. Uh, you know, an episode of a
Speaker 1: week or something like that, just because you connect with
Speaker 1: the stories a lot more. Well, that's a great transition
Speaker 1: into our final segment. It's called three killer questions. Are
Speaker 1: you ready? I'm ready? All right, oscar. If there was
Speaker 1: a podcast featuring any person living or dead, who would
Speaker 1: you want to listen to? Oh? Wow, podcast with anybody
Speaker 1: living or dead, and they could be you can combine
Speaker 1: them too. Oh man, that is that is such a
Speaker 1: hard question. Um. I should probably send this out ahead
Speaker 1: of time, but I don't feel like you get a
Speaker 1: true A response. That's that's a that's a really tough one.
Speaker 1: Who up in your head? Yeah, let's see. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I automatically jump into music just because I'm a such
Speaker 1: a huge music fan and I I just think of
Speaker 1: some of the people that I've really been into lately.
Speaker 1: You know. I love John Legend, kind of that R
Speaker 1: and b uh and soulful sound. I love. He's a
Speaker 1: Canadian DJ k Tronada. I don't know Anderson Pack. I
Speaker 1: just feel like I would really like I'm really into
Speaker 1: their stuff. I just really feel like i'd want to
Speaker 1: have them explain their whole process. I don't know, I
Speaker 1: just I would go that music angle. I don't know why.
Speaker 1: All right, What was the first piece of technology that
Speaker 1: you used it changed your life that you said, hey,
Speaker 1: this is this is it, this is this is going
Speaker 1: to change things that I thought change stuff. I mean,
Speaker 1: going back to a childhood, my first Nintendo. There you go.
Speaker 1: I really I was such a video game nerd, video
Speaker 1: game kid growing up. I think I would cry and
Speaker 1: beg for my parents to buy me the latest consoles
Speaker 1: as they came out, and I still game occasionally to
Speaker 1: this date. But I that really got me into the
Speaker 1: technology front. I just you know, the seeing the little
Speaker 1: avatars move on the screen and me controlling them with
Speaker 1: a controller. That that I loved that stuff. What was
Speaker 1: the last podcast that you binged? Last possible podcast today
Speaker 1: binged m It was I was listening to with my wife.
Speaker 1: So is some my favorite murder stuff. And I love
Speaker 1: all the true crime stuff. A lot of the Golden
Speaker 1: State killer stuff just came out recently in the news. Uh,
Speaker 1: so I had to kind of see what their take was.
Speaker 1: It was a lot of that stuff. Uh. And this
Speaker 1: is a bonus question that I only asked special guests,
Speaker 1: But if you were sandwich personified, what kind of sandwich
Speaker 1: would you be? Not your favorite sandwich, but if you
Speaker 1: were a sandwich you know this goes back from my
Speaker 1: childhood too. It would be just the ham and cheese
Speaker 1: we do, you know, simple slice kind of Deli ham,
Speaker 1: some kessel fresco. Uh, maybe a little bit of sour
Speaker 1: cream and in one of those uh buns that you
Speaker 1: would find like in any Mexican supermarket, just like in
Speaker 1: a hot summer day, you know, some nice lemonade or
Speaker 1: some or chata or something like that, and hem and cheese.
Speaker 1: Thought that. That's that's me right there. I love that.
Speaker 1: So you're you're super Mexican, is what you're saying. Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm totally Mexican. You know, I'm first I'm first generation Mexican.
Speaker 1: My my both my parents were born in Mexico. Most
Speaker 1: of my family is Mexico. They're all naturalized citizens now. Um.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so a lot of the old, you know,
Speaker 1: things from our culture they brought along. But you know,
Speaker 1: we've been out they've been out here for any many
Speaker 1: years now, so we're fully Americanized. But yeah, it was
Speaker 1: still the food is something you just never let go of.

Speaker 1: guys had a good report. I like talking to people
Speaker 1: who have been producers. Yeah, you guys have a lot
Speaker 1: of comment that way. You guys know how your minds work.
Speaker 1: Producers are the unsung, not always unsung, but some I
Speaker 1: don't think a lot of Yeah, People don't realize how
Speaker 1: much of a show is the producer, and Oscar is
Speaker 1: a very good producer and he's turned into a very
Speaker 1: good host. I really like that podcast, listen to it
Speaker 1: every morning. So today I asked you to find us
Speaker 1: three podcasts that we can listen to daily. So if
Speaker 1: we're making our Alexa podcast playlist and we wanted to
Speaker 1: have three podcasts on it. Of course we'd started the
Speaker 1: day off with the Daily Die. Yes, what other podcast
Speaker 1: might we want to listen to every day? My first
Speaker 1: one is another one kind of in the newsy lane. Yes,
Speaker 1: so it's called up First. It's by NPR and they
Speaker 1: not only do politics, but they also do pop culture.
Speaker 1: So it's just ten minutes a day if you want
Speaker 1: a quick like bite of something first. All right, let's
Speaker 1: check it out. Well, as you heard him say, we
Speaker 1: now call it spygate. You're calling it spygate. What he
Speaker 1: really means is he's calling it spy gate. He's branded
Speaker 1: its spygate. He's created a new narrative. Alright. See. I
Speaker 1: then tasked you with finding two new podcasts on I
Speaker 1: Heart Radio that we can let our folks know about.
Speaker 1: And what did you find this week? So if you
Speaker 1: are a fan of Shark Tank, Shark Tank, I love
Speaker 1: I have an idea for Shark Tank, you better get
Speaker 1: on there. I actually, uh is it? I don't really,
Speaker 1: but I do love watching, um folks go on there.
Speaker 1: I had an idea when I was a kid for
Speaker 1: and listen. I thought this was a good idea that
Speaker 1: you put a radio transmitter in the house and then
Speaker 1: when people came by to look at the house that
Speaker 1: was for sale, they could turn the radio on and
Speaker 1: then here somebody telling them about the house. Actually, not
Speaker 1: a bad idea at all. I thought it was a
Speaker 1: great especially for being seventh grade. That was um. But
Speaker 1: I've already missed the boat on that alright, But a
Speaker 1: lot of people love Shark Tank, Yes, and a shark
Speaker 1: is that what they're called? Right? Sharks on Shark Tank
Speaker 1: is Barbara Corkgrin and she's one of the only females
Speaker 1: on the show, and she's a real heavy hitter, And
Speaker 1: she has a podcast on I Heart Radio called Business Unusual,
Speaker 1: So it's really talking about her long and very successful
Speaker 1: career and how to achieve your goals if you're young entrepreneur, entrepreneur,
Speaker 1: especially if you're in your twenties because that's when she started.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's really good if you're just starting out.
Speaker 1: Let's check about. One of the best businesses I have
Speaker 1: ever invested in is Grace and Lace, that makes high
Speaker 1: fashion women's clothing and sells it online. This is a
Speaker 1: business that's phenomenal but born out of a very sad backstory.
Speaker 1: She's one of the you know it' you're in New
Speaker 1: York or you're from New York, you know who she is.
Speaker 1: She's very very New York. She's great. I'm excited about
Speaker 1: that show and I liked it. It's for people in
Speaker 1: their twenties because that's when you should be getting into this,
Speaker 1: and I feel like a lot of people nowadays, I've
Speaker 1: seen a lot of people trying to get into entrepreneurship
Speaker 1: at my age twenty three, and it's nice to have
Speaker 1: resources like that. To go back to, what's your idea
Speaker 1: for Shark Tank if you have one? Honestly none none.
Speaker 1: I watched that show and I would be like, I
Speaker 1: feel like if I was a shark, I would just
Speaker 1: be like, here, just take my money. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: I don't want to be mean to you, because it
Speaker 1: doesn't really mean and I just feel so bad for
Speaker 1: the you and I are complete opposites because I would
Speaker 1: be I like it. I would be like, no, that's stupid.
Speaker 1: I would be like, no, it's not. In general people,
Speaker 1: more people need to hear you know, that's stupid in
Speaker 1: their life than they do. Absolutely, But I just don't
Speaker 1: want to hear people come to me with podcast ideas
Speaker 1: all the time. No, no, I do. I'm very honest
Speaker 1: with most people and say, you're in a way like
Speaker 1: sending them up for success, because if you just said
Speaker 1: yes to a bad idea, they would fail. And nine
Speaker 1: times out of ten, somebody's first idea for a podcast
Speaker 1: is way too general and it's and it's it's the
Speaker 1: same idea. Yeah, me and my friends are really funny
Speaker 1: when we talk and we're just gonna talk about everything, okay, good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they're not funny, yeah, exactly, and any to each other. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I know you and you're not funny. So don't
Speaker 1: you know he's not talking to me, you guys, he's
Speaker 1: talking to somebody else. Yeah, I'm talking to it. No,
Speaker 1: not you, you're you're you're hilarious. All right? What else
Speaker 1: we got? The last one is it's called Wine Down
Speaker 1: with Janna Kramer. People love her. This is my best
Speaker 1: friend and I's girl crushed for a really long time
Speaker 1: now for at least two three years. Tell people who
Speaker 1: she is if they don't know who she is. I
Speaker 1: first saw her in a like a commercial for car
Speaker 1: insurance or something. We were like, oh my gosh, she's
Speaker 1: so cute. But then we found out she's a country
Speaker 1: singer and she is amazing, and in we found this
Speaker 1: podcast and it's really it's like talking to a friend
Speaker 1: at the end of the day. So she talks about
Speaker 1: her career, about the divorce she went through, about being
Speaker 1: a mom, and just a lot of other stuff that
Speaker 1: if you like, have a glass of wine, get it
Speaker 1: wind down with your girlfriends. It's a nice one to
Speaker 1: listen to. Now, let me tell you something about that.
Speaker 1: The second episode, she had to address something because when
Speaker 1: the podcast came out, there was somebody else that had
Speaker 1: a name that was kind of similar to it but
Speaker 1: not really the same, and they went on this whole
Speaker 1: social media campaign against her and and poor She's like,
Speaker 1: I don't know who you are, I don't know why
Speaker 1: you hate me. I'm just doing a podcast, um, and
Speaker 1: I love the way she handled it in episode two,
Speaker 1: so if you get a chance to check out her show,
Speaker 1: I would Episode two is my favorite one so far.
Speaker 1: She's very well spoken. Yeah, for those of you that
Speaker 1: didn't go on my Instagram or catch any the drama,
Speaker 1: I was so excited obviously, I'm like, yeah, my podcast
Speaker 1: wine downs out like hoo, and all of a sudden
