Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the I'm Still Fun Podcast. Just
Speaker 1: a reminder, this is kind of a little bit shorter
Speaker 1: of an episode, and then next week we will be
Speaker 1: off because I really wanted to do an episode, but
Speaker 1: Jenny refused and she said, I'm taking a vacation and
Speaker 1: I said that's you said no, we are eighteen seconds
Speaker 1: and Jenny and you already said you uh no. But
Speaker 1: we will be off next week and then the following
Speaker 1: week normal thirty ish minute episodes. So we're doing a
Speaker 1: little reset today. A reset does that work? I think
Speaker 1: reset introduction, reintroduction, reinternaby. Let me reintroduce myself. My name
Speaker 1: is Oh. I probably don't know that right, and I
Speaker 1: don't know if I was singing the right song I
Speaker 1: was trying to. I was trying to be your hype man,
Speaker 1: and I don't know what I was doing. Is jay Z?
Speaker 1: I don't know, Oh, if it is, it is Izzo?
Speaker 1: Is jay Z? Have you seen that like the theories
Speaker 1: that he should like an evil empire ruler? No, because
Speaker 1: of all the Diddy stuff. He's so tied in and
Speaker 1: like I'm like in a dark, dark rabbit hole now
Speaker 1: of like who's connected to this? Yeah? And it's gone
Speaker 1: down rabbit hole. Don't do it. I want to Well,
Speaker 1: the stuff I've looked at, don't get me wrong, it's
Speaker 1: not going into what was done, of course, it's going
Speaker 1: it's like just connecting them and more so. Actually, the
Speaker 1: things I've seen are connecting other celebrities to the web,
Speaker 1: so it's not breaking down things that were done. Although
Speaker 1: I did see one female singer talk about her experience
Speaker 1: with Kanye and Ditty and it was awful. But other
Speaker 1: than that, I haven't gone down that rabbit hole. But
Speaker 1: it would be honestly, at this point, I wouldn't be
Speaker 1: surprised if there is more, even more darkness in Hollywood
Speaker 1: from just other things we've seen. It's just yeah, I
Speaker 1: just wouldn't even be that surprising to me, which is
Speaker 1: really messed up and sad. So we won't go down
Speaker 1: that today. That is not our topic. I was just curious,
Speaker 1: since you'll be saying jay Z, I was like, I
Speaker 1: just like saw a video on TikTok like two days
Speaker 1: ago about that darkness. But you were saying that you
Speaker 1: listen to podcasts sometimes and it's like I don't know
Speaker 1: who they are.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like someone will recommend a podcast to me, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, but who are these people? Like? I feel
Speaker 2: like I can't trust you. I can't well listen to
Speaker 2: who you are and what you're saying until I know
Speaker 2: a little bit about you.
Speaker 1: I also don't like to start a podcast from the
Speaker 1: beginning maybe either episodes, yes, because number one, I assume
Speaker 1: they've probably gotten better. So I don't want to listen
Speaker 1: to the beginning, Like this sucks. I just start where
Speaker 1: I'm at, Like every podcast I've listened to I had
Speaker 1: did not go back to the beginning.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I guess the number one thing just to
Speaker 2: kick off, who fella and I are? Is? I mean, basically,
Speaker 2: we're co workers turned into best friends that it.
Speaker 1: Don't tell cult. I tell cult he's my best friends.
Speaker 1: I don't tell him we have a best friend handshake.
Speaker 1: Oh god, we do. That's okay. We do every day
Speaker 1: to hang out with you sometimes. Dammit, Jenny, you never
Speaker 1: sharing that with everyone? No, whatever, It's never happened. Actually,
Speaker 1: people might actually believe we've made out, So let's start
Speaker 1: off with some truths. We haven't made out before. I
Speaker 1: have seen your boobs, though, have you seen him?
Speaker 2: Fully? We've seen my knit I think so. I think
Speaker 2: one time you did show me full boob through the mirror,
Speaker 2: through the window.
Speaker 1: I used to always during the morning show when Jenny
Speaker 1: was in a different studio, flash her my bra and
Speaker 1: press them against the glass.
Speaker 2: And she always had like a sports bray. It wasn't
Speaker 2: some like you know, lazy red sea through thing.
Speaker 1: Hey, thanks for putting out that. I'm the least You're
Speaker 1: not wrong. I'm actually this might be one of my
Speaker 1: more sex Nope, I'm weren't a sports bro.
Speaker 2: No, okay, yeah, I know, yeah, yeah, I and you
Speaker 2: have seen a lot of my boob before, if not
Speaker 2: my nipples because they're high so they stick out a lot.
Speaker 2: But because I showed you my shingles once, yeah, I
Speaker 2: shingles a huge portion of my boom and found like,
Speaker 2: just show me and I was like, okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I haven't seen the straight nep yet. No yet.
Speaker 1: I'm on the edge of my seat one day, fingers crossed.
Speaker 1: Maybe for episode two hundred, I'll see Jenny's nips. I
Speaker 1: don't know it would be my honor or episode just
Speaker 1: one hundred because we only hit fifty recently. But we do.
Speaker 1: We work together. We worked together for a very very
Speaker 1: long time. At this point nearly a decade and we
Speaker 1: work obviously this part you probably know radio. So we
Speaker 1: met doing the morning show. Jenny was an intern. I
Speaker 1: was a fresh young baby co host, and then I
Speaker 1: technically started before you did. You did? Yeah, not much before.
Speaker 2: Me though, right, No, it wasn't very long. No, I
Speaker 2: had barely been an intern, and like Lena was leaving
Speaker 2: within like a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: It was because of me. I know, yeah, she didn't
Speaker 1: want another big ass around here. I know she wasn't
Speaker 1: a big ass bitch. She don't want a single big
Speaker 1: ass bitch or yeah, and then I yeah, no, I
Speaker 1: remember when I came in. Were you here on my
Speaker 1: audition days?
Speaker 2: No, I wasn't, but I remember listening a little bit
Speaker 2: because I wasn't here and I wanted to hear obviously
Speaker 2: all the people that were auditioning.
Speaker 1: I remember intern Brittany and maybe another intern being here,
Speaker 1: because I remember taking the time to go to where
Speaker 1: they were and say hi. I introduce myself to even
Speaker 1: the interns because I was like, I don't know who
Speaker 1: all's going to be here. If I'm going to be here,
Speaker 1: what's going to happen? But I was like, you know
Speaker 1: was excited to be here, so I wanted to say
Speaker 1: hi to everyone. But then yeah, and then we worked Jenny.
Speaker 1: Then obviously her internship ended, she left radio. Then she
Speaker 1: came back to radio, but she was over at City,
Speaker 1: so I still wasn't really working with her. And then
Speaker 1: she came over on to the morning show, so we
Speaker 1: were together for quite some time. But when I left
Speaker 1: the morning show, which has been a year ago, which
Speaker 1: is actually crazy to me that it's been over a
Speaker 1: year at this point, we started podcast so that we
Speaker 1: would remain friends because you know, your office, you don't
Speaker 1: have the built in conversations anymore. I'm like, I don't
Speaker 1: want to like not be friends anymore. I wasn't scared
Speaker 1: of that not happening. And even if we didn't do
Speaker 1: a podcast, because I really feel like, yeah, like to
Speaker 1: be fair, we have like our half hour war catch
Speaker 1: up sessions before we record the podcast every day. But
Speaker 1: I feel like you and I text about random things
Speaker 1: throughout the week and I'm still friends with like well
Speaker 1: and you are too with Tina, so her leaving didn't
Speaker 1: affect that. Yeah, But like there are some old coworkers
Speaker 1: I don't talk to that offen although I guess most.
Speaker 1: I'm still I still talk to e White, our old
Speaker 1: night guy all the time. I talked to Raven Way
Speaker 1: more frequently than even him. But there are other people
Speaker 1: that have been here that well. Obviously, I just talked
Speaker 1: to Steve last week. Yeah, we're supposed to get lunch soon.
Speaker 1: He has gossip for me, he said, oh yeah, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I know he always does. I know he's the gossip queen.
Speaker 2: Well, so going back real quick to my evolution of
Speaker 2: becoming part of the morning show, I have to give
Speaker 2: Fallen a shout out because I feel like you are
Speaker 2: the reason I got back into radio. I wanted to
Speaker 2: be in radio, but Fallan's what helped me get in
Speaker 2: because we had gotten coffee, and literally, I think later
Speaker 2: that day or maybe the next day, you texted me
Speaker 2: and you're like, City sninety seven is hiring a producer,
Speaker 2: And had you not texted me, I don't know that
Speaker 2: I would have seen that job opening. And yeah, I
Speaker 2: then got hired to do that and then whatever it
Speaker 2: evolved from there.
Speaker 1: But Fallan's been like my mentor to an extent throughout
Speaker 1: my career. I feel like interesting and I'm honored to
Speaker 1: be part of it. Yeah, and now like really really
Speaker 1: good friends agreed, Like I am very thankful for the
Speaker 1: friendship that we've created. I think, like you know, when
Speaker 1: you work with someone really closely, there are so few people,
Speaker 1: even your partner, who truly understands your work and like
Speaker 1: what you experience. And our industry is very different from
Speaker 1: other people's, but we have like there are the things
Speaker 1: that like you experience and like it's good to have
Speaker 1: someone to celebrate things with, like and like Jake can understand,
Speaker 1: I can explain, like what a Marconi award is, but
Speaker 1: he doesn't realize how big of a deal it is.
Speaker 1: Jenny understands that. Or if something happens that hurts us,
Speaker 1: Jake may not completely get it, but you know he'll
Speaker 1: be supportive, but Jenny would completely get it because she's
Speaker 1: experienced it. So it's just, you know, it's like one
Speaker 1: of those things where it's really important to have. It's
Speaker 1: been has been for me to have you in my life,
Speaker 1: to be there. You've always been a great cheerleader for
Speaker 1: me and a great support system. So it's just been
Speaker 1: it's been a great friendship inside and outside of work
Speaker 1: for me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say that, like I never imagined that
Speaker 2: I would be in radio to this day, like, that
Speaker 2: wasn't what I was going to school for. It wasn't
Speaker 2: on my agenda. I thought I was going to be
Speaker 2: Samantha from Sex and the City being a publicist for
Speaker 2: I wanted to be a publicist for like bands and
Speaker 2: stuff like that, and it's.
Speaker 1: Like traveling and helping them. I have no idea what
Speaker 1: social media was going to be back then. No, yeah,
Speaker 1: but that was what I thought I would be.
Speaker 2: And then randomly got an internship in radio, and that's
Speaker 2: how I came to be in radio. And you kind
Speaker 2: of got your job in radio because of a relative, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got my When I went to college, I
Speaker 1: needed a job and my cousin, Jimmy, he had worked
Speaker 1: in radio for years. He left because he's like, there's
Speaker 1: no money in it, and which is true and isn't true.
Speaker 1: It is true at the level we were at and
Speaker 1: in the market of Indiana, and I think some people
Speaker 1: there now you know, higher level people there make decent money.
Speaker 1: But you know, it's just different every market that you're in.
Speaker 1: But he got me a part time job, and I knew.
Speaker 1: I always say this, I knew in the first week
Speaker 1: this is what I want to do, because when I
Speaker 1: was in school, I always wanted to be like an actress,
Speaker 1: like I just like I liked the entertainment, which is
Speaker 1: funny because didn't even have a theater program at my school,
Speaker 1: so I don't know how that was going to happen.
Speaker 1: So it was almost like a form of that for me,
Speaker 1: like entertainment. And I was like, this is it. I
Speaker 1: made within one year or within one week, this is it.
Speaker 1: I went and changed all my classes at college. I
Speaker 1: just I hunkered down. I was like, this is what
Speaker 1: I'm doing. So I've been doing it for a very
Speaker 1: very very long time now, which is pretty crazy. And
Speaker 1: people ask me a lot, like the differences between radio
Speaker 1: and television.
Speaker 2: We'll find out those differences right after this. So I
Speaker 2: do a lot of baking. As you know, I actually
Speaker 2: have a tree for you right now I have to
Speaker 2: give you.
Speaker 1: Don't let me forget, okay, trust me, I won't.
Speaker 2: Okay, But I recently made these brownie batter bites and
Speaker 2: they're super simple because they basically just take like four
Speaker 2: or five ingredients I think. But I used the kakaw
Speaker 2: bliss that we've been talking about now in it, and
Speaker 2: it was so good. It's just that and like almond butter,
Speaker 2: vanilla syrup, and almond flower so you mix it together,
Speaker 2: you top it off with some walnuts and maybe a
Speaker 2: little sea salt if your fancy line. Fancy yeah, And
Speaker 2: it tastes exactly like you're pretty much eating brownie batter.
Speaker 1: But it's healthy. Oh god, I want it so bad.
Speaker 2: I know. And I feel like the cocow bliss is
Speaker 2: what makes it the best part of it, because it's
Speaker 2: like a healthy chocolate and it really like crushes those
Speaker 2: cravings of needing something sweet, but in a good way
Speaker 2: because it's healthy.
Speaker 1: Well, it has ten powerful superfoods I always see like
Speaker 1: tu marks, like a huge one, but it has rock
Speaker 1: a cow and so many other things that just give
Speaker 1: you all of the great health benefits. But the chocolate taste,
Speaker 1: which is what I'm always craving, which by the way,
Speaker 1: it's got my husband Jake, a creamy I feel like
Speaker 1: I can throw that in, oh yeah, for like some
Speaker 1: chocolate ice cream. It'd be so good. If you are
Speaker 1: worried about if it is vegan friendly, it is. It's
Speaker 1: also keto friendly, and it says by the way that
Speaker 1: it supports a positive mood and I need any of
Speaker 1: that in my life. A positivity would be great. But
Speaker 1: we do have a discount code for you, don't worry.
Speaker 1: You can use fun to get fifteen percent off so
Speaker 1: you can try it for yourself in whatever way you want.
Speaker 1: You can go to shop dot earthechofoods dot com. And
Speaker 1: then again, the keyword, like the discount code is fun.
Speaker 1: But we'll also include that in our show notes. Yes
Speaker 1: we will.
Speaker 2: And if you want the recipe for the brownie batterbyites,
Speaker 2: just dm me because I literally have it saved so
Speaker 2: I can send it to you to use it.
Speaker 1: And now back to the podcast. And I don't know
Speaker 1: that I have all the answers cause I don't. I'm
Speaker 1: so new to TV. I don't know all the differences.
Speaker 1: But radio is like my first love, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Like I prefer radio. But it's TV's nice
Speaker 1: because they have a bunch of producers and a bunch
Speaker 1: of people to do a lot of the stuff for you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: which is nice because of radio it's not like that. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: if you're in a huge show, it's like out of
Speaker 1: like New York, it's like that. But yeah, right, and
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 2: Obviously the show is very different every day for you guys,
Speaker 2: and I don't really get to see it ever. Besides
Speaker 2: like clips that you share. Yeah, but would you say
Speaker 2: your favorite segments. I like the one where you guys
Speaker 2: get to like eat food or something, because I feel
Speaker 2: like I really know, yes.
Speaker 1: To know, because I don't want to eat food every day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I'm.
Speaker 2: Like, that's true, Like, if you have an appetite, it's
Speaker 2: one thing. Yeah, if you're like kind of forced just
Speaker 2: to eat for a segment, then it's like.
Speaker 1: Eh, the good news is I'm not always on those,
Speaker 1: so I don't have to. But I'm like, I don't
Speaker 1: want to like drink and eat early necessarily, which sounds
Speaker 1: so stupid. But no, my favorite are the ones that
Speaker 1: we leave the studio for and they're almost produced segments. Okay,
Speaker 1: so like they'll do we do fast food filled trips
Speaker 1: and we just recorded one last week with Pilates. I
Speaker 1: took Jason to Pilates, so that will air, like well,
Speaker 1: by the time this comes out, it probably will have
Speaker 1: already aired. And it's just that the way Eric the
Speaker 1: photographer edits stuff down, it's like making a radio bit
Speaker 1: edited down, like produced sounds so much better and more fun.
Speaker 1: That's how that is. It's like you're highlighting just the
Speaker 1: funniest moments. So I that's probably my favorite. But also
Speaker 1: I enjoyed banter with Jason in general, So right, yeah, funny,
Speaker 1: I hear.
Speaker 2: I think this will actually fit in because like a
Speaker 2: month or two ago, I had found something in like
Speaker 2: an old folder of mine on like our work computer. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and so I opened it and I was like, what
Speaker 2: is this because it said intro ideas Oh God, and
Speaker 2: so it was I'm going to read to you what
Speaker 2: I wrote about myself that I was going to like
Speaker 2: intro myself with on the Morning Show? Can I switch
Speaker 2: from cities to Dave's Oh God? Okay, Okay, it says
Speaker 2: about me. Here's the most important part about my life
Speaker 2: right now. I'm twenty six and so single but dating often.
Speaker 2: There's a couple of guys I'm seeing, but they aren't
Speaker 2: in the same place in life or aren't ready for
Speaker 2: a relationship. So I have been going out with new
Speaker 2: people if the opportunity arises. I did have a nightmare
Speaker 2: situation from a dating app happened to me recently, which
Speaker 2: maybe I've told the story on the podcast before, but
Speaker 2: I didn't remember it as well as I wrote it out.
Speaker 2: But basically I had to a schedule date from like
Speaker 2: Bumble or something. Went to reschedule it a few hours
Speaker 2: before because it was a Monday, and I just like,
Speaker 2: wasn't really.
Speaker 1: Feeling like day.
Speaker 2: I remember, yes, actually yeah, so uh. The response I
Speaker 2: got was I'm busy the rest of the week, and
Speaker 2: I hadn't responded because I think I was taking an app.
Speaker 1: And then they go, what do you do for work?
Speaker 2: And then they said, actually, you know what, go fuck yourself,
Speaker 2: you hip having kunt And then I forgot this last
Speaker 2: part they said I was supposed to fuck another girl tonight,
Speaker 2: Thanks for making up a bullshit excuse, because I think
Speaker 2: I said I was busy, I had a long day
Speaker 2: at work or something, and like let's.
Speaker 1: See, oh oh my god.
Speaker 2: And I remembered like the hip having sword comment, but
Speaker 2: I did not remember the part where he said I
Speaker 2: was supposed to fuck another girl tonight, thanks for making up.
Speaker 1: You delete the app. After that for a while, blocked, well,
Speaker 1: he blocked me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I couldn't respond to him, but I don't
Speaker 2: think I went. I think I went on like one
Speaker 2: or two day dating app dates in the duration of
Speaker 2: my like four or five years of.
Speaker 1: Being Yeah, you said you didn't do it because people
Speaker 1: did things like that. It was wild, So anyways, that
Speaker 1: will happen. That was that, and then.
Speaker 2: I don't know, there's like other random things. Let's see,
Speaker 2: let's see what my ideas were for show ideas. Okay,
Speaker 2: prison inmate versus dating profile. Bad people guess it's a profile.
Speaker 2: Is a prison inmate or someone's dating profile.
Speaker 1: That's actually funny.
Speaker 2: You should pull that back, Okay, to be fair, this
Speaker 2: was like, I don't know where I got this from
Speaker 2: because I don't think I like stole it from you guys,
Speaker 2: but I must have stole it from another radio show.
Speaker 1: But what are you doing at the courthouse? That was
Speaker 1: actually my friends. That was my friend. I was gonna say,
Speaker 1: I don't know where I got that from. My friend
Speaker 1: Sarah Pepper did it in Indiana, and then she did
Speaker 1: it in Texas and she got it like syndicated on
Speaker 1: other radio stations and she was the queen. It's simple.
Speaker 1: You go to a courthouse, you hold a microphone in
Speaker 1: front of someone's face, say what you do at the courthouse,
Speaker 1: and people will share the I witnessed it, like it's
Speaker 1: one of those things that's so crazy and like this
Speaker 1: has to be fake, it has to be a fake bit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I witnessed it. I witnessed at the courthouse in Indiana,
Speaker 1: people like, hold on a second and they go throw
Speaker 1: their knife in the bushes that they forgot they had
Speaker 1: on them before they went in through the metal. I mean,
Speaker 1: people would just share the craziest stuff. You're like okay,
Speaker 1: and it was amazing. Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 2: Another one which we would have never ever ever done
Speaker 2: once I like learned how the show works in our
Speaker 2: personalities was I wrote, I love to dance, So I've
Speaker 2: been trying to think of some sort of idea where
Speaker 2: we could do a dance off at the State Fair
Speaker 2: one of the day. It's like, maybe it's me and
Speaker 2: Dave versus Stephen balen.
Speaker 1: Nod, like we were going to choreograph kind of dance
Speaker 1: off like Steve would have day would have been like
Speaker 1: absolutely not, no chance. These were very like immature beginner
Speaker 1: radio ideas that I had. But it's beautiful. You learn
Speaker 1: a lot. If I looked at my I had a
Speaker 1: sheet that I brought from my interview. If I looked
Speaker 1: at that I think. Actually, to be honest, I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure Steve stole one of my personal stories and shared
Speaker 1: it as his own personal story before I came OK,
Speaker 1: and I remembered that. I was like, well, damn it,
Speaker 1: that's one of my good stories. I was going to share,
Speaker 1: but Steve used it for his and it was funny.
Speaker 1: But I'm sorry this episode is so short this week,
Speaker 1: but we just wanted to make sure we like we're here,
Speaker 1: so we didn't skip two weeks in a row. So
Speaker 1: we're off next week and then we'll be back the
Speaker 1: following week. But thank you for hanging out with us.
Speaker 1: As always, if you have emails, you can still send
Speaker 1: those and we'll get to those next week. Thanks for listening.
