00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 2: red carpet.

Speaker 1: that's why today we're gonna focus on her storied pass

18
00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: to find out what she's learned in this crazy, ever growing,

19
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: never slowing industry that we call radio. So Brook, let's

20
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: get to your list. What is the first thing that

21
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: you've learned.

22
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: Okay, one of the things I learned is that when

23
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 2: you do a stunt for the show, when you think

24
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: it's done, people can still be watching. Yeah. For example,

25
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 2: he decided when I bought my very first house, I

26
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 2: was twenty six years old, paid zero down for a house.

27
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: We're like, yes, we're gonna set up a big brother

28
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 2: and we're gonna put webcams all over it, and the

29
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 2: whole morning show is going to live with me. Oh yeah,

30
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 2: problem was is I was also secretly hooking up with

31
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 2: my producer at the time.

32
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: Oh and I got cut camera.

33
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, but just making out I have a clothes on,

34
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:58,559
Speaker 2: and now you don't even invite us over. Yeah, that's why.

35
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: You did learn something from that. That's cool. I also

36
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: be learned about working in radio.

37
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 2: I learned that I never want to be in the military. Military.

38
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, what makes you say that, Well.

39
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 3: It's not because of like anything, but the food really truly.

40
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 2: I mean, yes, my dad was a marine. Thank you

42
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 3: I get it.

43
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: But also the food is terrible. And the very very

44

Speaker 2: A cat kind of, I mean, the beef stew is

50
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 2: not far from fancy Cat. And the thing is, thinking

Speaker 2: Brooks that sometimes what you see in the news about

00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,119
Speaker 2: celebrities kind of tracks with who they are. Oh it's

63
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 2: not a rumor, Yeah that it's accurate. Right, Like years

64
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 2: before the scandal and before the lawsuits and the craziness,

65
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: we got to interview Diddy at one of the station.

66
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: It's just another hidden camera inside your house revealed.

67
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 2: No, no, no, he comes in with this huge entourage, right,

68
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: and he is not nice. He's gonna say that only

69
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 2: is he a really bad interview or maybe I'm just

70
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 2: a bad interviewer. He kicks us all out of the

71
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: studio and then proceed because the microphones are still on.

72
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 3: My man proceeds to scream at his stylists at the

73
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 3: top of his lungs for fifteen minutes about paying his

74
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 3: stylist seventy grand a year to only pick out T shirts.

75
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: Oh, I mean more rage than I've ever heard any

76
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 2: one expelled.

77
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: But now you can relate because your stylist you pay

78
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:28,799
Speaker 1: seventy day. Okay, that's actually why. And it was wild.

79
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 2: We had the audio of it. We recorded it, and

80
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 2: our boss was like, you can't hear that.

81
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, we would know because it's so nice on

82
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: the making the band show totally. Really, how are the parties.

83
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 2: Signed?

84
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: She signed the NDIA? What would else have you learned?

85
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: You know what?

86
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: The funny that you say that, because I've also learned

87
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 2: that I am not cool enough to be invited to

88
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 2: any drug parties.

89
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: I am.

90
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 2: When I first started in the industry, I had a

91
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 2: boss who would have these big dinners with record reps,

92
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 2: and I would get to go to the dinner, but

93
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 2: it was always in a hotel where the reps were saying,

94
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 2: and they'd all go up to the hotel room and

95
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 2: then they come back down and then they go up

96
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: to the hotel room and then they come back down

97
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 2: and I would just sit by myself at the table

98
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 2: waiting for everyone to come back.

99
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. Guys also go to the bathroom together and.

100
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 3: There they would come back and my boss would go

101
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 3: everything on the menu literally literally and then passed out

102
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 3: in his dinner plate.

103
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: It's those early mornings in radio, get so tired.

104
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 2: Do you help yes to always be grateful for every listener.

105
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 2: My very first fan I met in a little tiny

106
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 2: town in Cheney, Washington, and she used to win prizes

107
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 2: for us all the time. And she showed up at

108
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 2: an event and her name, her real name was Candy Poenix,

109
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 2: and she showed up with a shirt that had my

110
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 2: head pictured all over it, my face the strangest and

111
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 2: also nice thing anyone's ever done for me. I remember

00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: Is she still around?

114
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 3: I don't know.

115
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 2: I tried to look her up on Facebook, but I

116
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 2: couldn't find anything because she would definitely wait a minute,

117
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 2: you've got to clear your I appreciate every single person.

118
