WEBVTT - Introducing: The Karol Markowicz Show

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Hello, and welcome to the Carol Marcowitz Show. I'm a

0:00:03.200 --> 0:00:06.240
<v Speaker 1>columnist at The New York Post and Fox News, co

0:00:06.360 --> 0:00:09.239
<v Speaker 1>author of the best selling book Stolen Youth, and I'm

0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:12.680
<v Speaker 1>so excited to join the Clay and Buck podcast network

0:00:12.760 --> 0:00:16.520
<v Speaker 1>on iHeartRadio. For years, people asked me why I didn't

0:00:16.520 --> 0:00:19.280
<v Speaker 1>have a podcast, and you know, I'd be on radio

0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:21.560
<v Speaker 1>and TV a lot, but I didn't want to add

0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:25.079
<v Speaker 1>another podcast to the pile. I didn't want to do

0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:27.960
<v Speaker 1>news of the day or have interviews or people where

0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:30.639
<v Speaker 1>they discussed the news of the day. I felt like

0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:33.120
<v Speaker 1>there were a lot of people doing that, some like

0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Clay and Buck doing it exceptionally well, and I didn't

0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:39.040
<v Speaker 1>have anything to add. So what I realized was that

0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:43.240
<v Speaker 1>people want to hear about other things. And my most

0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:47.760
<v Speaker 1>popular columns and conversations were when I'd get into cultural

0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 1>and social issues. What's marriage really like? Why are we

0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:53.599
<v Speaker 1>lied to about what it's like to have children? What

0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:56.200
<v Speaker 1>does it mean to succeed in your career? I call

0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:59.680
<v Speaker 1>these the kinds of conversations that make people really lean

0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:04.200
<v Speaker 1>in and listen. It's not background conversation, it's the stuff

0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:07.440
<v Speaker 1>that really matters that I haven't seen other people cover

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:10.240
<v Speaker 1>in their podcasts, So that's what we're going to do here.

0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:14.319
<v Speaker 1>My format is going to be a short monologue or

0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:18.360
<v Speaker 1>two followed by a conversation. You might know the people

0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm interviewing, you might not, but you're going to hear

0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:24.520
<v Speaker 1>them get asked questions they've never been asked before. You'll

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:27.920
<v Speaker 1>hear me ask successful people whether they feel like they've

0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:30.720
<v Speaker 1>made it. We'll talk about advice that they have, whether

0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:33.920
<v Speaker 1>about career or life in general. We're going to talk

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:37.360
<v Speaker 1>about relationships, how to make them work, how to find

0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:40.840
<v Speaker 1>the right person, how to keep the spark alive, what

0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>matters in marriage, Why sex is the most important part

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:46.960
<v Speaker 1>of a relationship. And I feel like a lot of

0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:48.880
<v Speaker 1>people are going to challenge me on that one. But

0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:52.120
<v Speaker 1>I have some thoughts why the joy of children is

0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:54.880
<v Speaker 1>so impossible to convey. I'll tell you a little bit

0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:57.920
<v Speaker 1>about myself. I was born in the Soviet Union and

0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:00.360
<v Speaker 1>grew up in Brooklyn, New York. I'm married to an

0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:02.680
<v Speaker 1>immigrant from Israel who grew up in Queens. You know,

0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:05.320
<v Speaker 1>two immigrant kids from the boroughs of New York. We

0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:09.160
<v Speaker 1>finished building our dream house in Brooklyn and fully moved

0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:13.000
<v Speaker 1>in March of twenty twenty. We were New York supremacists.

0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:17.120
<v Speaker 1>We were never leaving until COVID exposed some things about

0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:20.520
<v Speaker 1>our beloved city that we just could not unsea. So

0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:23.760
<v Speaker 1>my husband and I, along with our three children, picked

0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:27.639
<v Speaker 1>up and moved to South Florida. In January, it will

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:30.720
<v Speaker 1>be two years that we are Floridians. We're part of

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:34.440
<v Speaker 1>a larger migration around this country from places like New

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:38.600
<v Speaker 1>York and California, two places like Texas and Florida and

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee and other states. We've loved Florida so much. We're

0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:47.160
<v Speaker 1>really so happy here. But on this pod, we'll discuss

0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:49.680
<v Speaker 1>what a move like that really means. You know, a

0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:53.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of people make moves after high school, after college,

0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:55.800
<v Speaker 1>but what's it like to have to restart your life

0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:58.360
<v Speaker 1>in a new place as an adult? How do you

0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:00.680
<v Speaker 1>do that? How do you make friends? How do you

0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:05.679
<v Speaker 1>find your people? Things that I love include poker, whiskey, travel,

0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:09.960
<v Speaker 1>talking to people. That's probably my favorite. I love meeting

0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:13.200
<v Speaker 1>new people, and I'm married to curmudgeon who is not

0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:15.960
<v Speaker 1>super into that. So you guys will be my outlet

0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.560
<v Speaker 1>as I talk to everybody as much as I want.

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.000
<v Speaker 1>I imagine I'll be talking about all of these things

0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:23.560
<v Speaker 1>from time to time, and I'll also be taking your

0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:26.560
<v Speaker 1>questions and offering my advice if you want it. The
