I 00:01:19.340 --> 00:01:24.280 won't mention but How did it the first of all, 00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:27.299 how did the nickname bougie? Bougie come about 00:01:27.299 --> 00:01:29.719 for you. That's actually that was my last name. 00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:33.060 Oh Really? That's my last name. So I got married 00:01:33.060 --> 00:01:34.859 your maiden name. Yeah. Oh, I thought it was 00:01:34.859 --> 00:01:36.810 like a nickname No. Well, that's just a cool 00:01:36.810 --> 00:01:39.829 name. Like, my last name is Brindisi. And it's 00:01:39.829 --> 00:01:42.549 just, it's clunky. It's long. I have to spell 00:01:42.549 --> 00:01:45.849 it a million times on the phone. Bougie's like... 00:01:45.849 --> 00:01:48.129 Bougie. So growing up, I just was Bougie. Yeah. 00:01:48.129 --> 00:01:50.250 Why wouldn't you be? Yeah. I was never Jen. That's 00:01:50.250 --> 00:01:53.150 such a great name. Yeah. So you guys are unique 00:01:53.150 --> 00:01:56.549 in that you came to us as one of our first clients 00:01:56.549 --> 00:02:00.390 that didn't necessarily own a business. You came 00:02:00.390 --> 00:02:03.849 to us as two people looking to get a podcast. 00:02:04.189 --> 00:02:09.129 that just showcases who you are and talking about 00:02:09.129 --> 00:02:13.590 crazy and real things that other moms and women 00:02:13.590 --> 00:02:17.409 can relate to. And it's a super fun podcast. 00:02:18.090 --> 00:02:20.389 Tell us a little bit about your backgrounds first 00:02:20.389 --> 00:02:23.370 and then how did this idea for the podcast come 00:02:23.370 --> 00:02:27.969 along? Okay, so I grew up in Syracuse. I graduated, 00:02:27.969 --> 00:02:31.759 um, CNS in 98. I went to Oswego State, got my 00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:33.979 degree in broadcast journalism, wanted to be 00:02:33.979 --> 00:02:36.479 a news reporter. And then as I was interning 00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:38.639 my last year and I was just like, this is not 00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:41.479 my thing. I cannot do this. It was a sad story. 00:02:42.419 --> 00:02:45.219 And my uncle had his own real estate company 00:02:45.219 --> 00:02:46.659 said, just come work for me. So I've been with 00:02:46.659 --> 00:02:51.240 him for 23 years. And I just started walking 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:53.300 one day, like starting to walk and get healthy. 00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:56.939 And I started listening to Nicki Marie unplugged 00:02:56.939 --> 00:03:00.379 and two bears, one cave, total opposites. And 00:03:00.379 --> 00:03:03.020 I was like, you know what? Why? And being a mom 00:03:03.020 --> 00:03:05.259 at 45, I wanted something a little more. You 00:03:05.259 --> 00:03:07.039 know, you do the same thing every day for your 00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:09.759 kids, your husband, work. And I was like, so 00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:11.780 I came to Marissa, I was like, let's just start 00:03:11.780 --> 00:03:13.460 it and see where it goes from there. Because 00:03:13.460 --> 00:03:16.219 to me, it's kind of like not work. Like I just 00:03:16.219 --> 00:03:18.419 left work now. I'm on my lunch hour. Like, this 00:03:18.419 --> 00:03:20.199 is like relaxing. Like I'm having a good time. 00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:22.159 And then I got to go back to numbers when I go 00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:24.919 back, you know? So I just. So let's just. So 00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:30.680 it's almost as much your own. therapy and passion 00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:35.080 that it is just a podcast that you want to do 00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:37.620 because it's something you're good at. It's almost 00:03:37.620 --> 00:03:40.219 like a therapy for you in a way. Yeah, it's just 00:03:40.219 --> 00:03:45.400 fun and not really work. Marissa, tell us a little 00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:46.919 bit about your background and how this came along. 00:03:46.939 --> 00:03:48.939 It's a little bit different than hers. I'm from 00:03:48.939 --> 00:03:52.319 McGraw, New York. Grew up on a dairy farm. After 00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:55.539 graduating, I went to Simi Courtland. Elementary 00:03:55.539 --> 00:03:57.900 education, was a third, fourth grade teacher. 00:03:59.070 --> 00:04:02.710 Then got married and when I got pregnant, I decided 00:04:02.710 --> 00:04:06.169 to stay home So I've been home for stay at home 00:04:06.169 --> 00:04:10.650 mom for the last Let's say 11 years. Well, so 00:04:10.650 --> 00:04:14.669 was ready for a change. She came to me Maybe 00:04:14.669 --> 00:04:18.490 August and said I have an idea. Let's go to dinner. 00:04:18.490 --> 00:04:22.569 Oh, and I had no idea what Her idea was she's 00:04:22.569 --> 00:04:24.949 like, let's do a podcast and she had it all mapped 00:04:24.949 --> 00:04:29.180 out like episode, like what to talk about. And 00:04:29.180 --> 00:04:32.839 I said, okay, let's try it. And so when we first 00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:35.939 tried it, it was like... We tried to do it on 00:04:35.939 --> 00:04:37.899 our own. On our own, yeah. Like in a bedroom. 00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:40.600 Like in a bedroom, like we set up a thing. I 00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:43.000 mean, look, that's not really crazy. I mean, 00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:45.339 you can do a podcast anywhere these days, but 00:04:45.339 --> 00:04:46.779 I bet you found it's a little more challenging. 00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:49.519 Oh, it was awful. It was awful. It was terrible. 00:04:49.579 --> 00:04:51.199 We looked at each other and we're like, what 00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:54.550 the fuck are we doing? This is ridiculous. The 00:04:54.550 --> 00:04:56.689 lighting, the sound, and then we're looking up 00:04:56.689 --> 00:04:59.790 apps and we're like, we can't do this. Yeah, 00:04:59.790 --> 00:05:01.750 technically we can never do it. And then how 00:05:01.750 --> 00:05:03.970 did we get on your radar at Clickstream Studios? 00:05:04.110 --> 00:05:08.550 We googled it. Really? And Jenna Murphy. I realized 00:05:08.550 --> 00:05:10.589 that this was the place that Jenna Murphy was 00:05:10.589 --> 00:05:14.050 going. So that's how we ended up here. That's 00:05:14.050 --> 00:05:17.410 amazing. Yeah. You know, it's funny because I 00:05:17.410 --> 00:05:21.670 too went, I went back to school for TVR, television, 00:05:21.730 --> 00:05:24.079 radio. They call it television and digital media 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:27.300 now. And so there's a strong journalistic component 00:05:27.300 --> 00:05:31.579 to that field. And so I kind of understand what 00:05:31.579 --> 00:05:35.339 you mean, Jen, about, you know, once you kind 00:05:35.339 --> 00:05:37.759 of peel the curtain back on journalism, especially 00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:41.439 in today's world, it's not as fun and enjoyable 00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:44.300 as you thought. And you learn, like, unless you 00:05:44.300 --> 00:05:47.399 kind of work your way up to these bigger networks, 00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:49.019 there's not a lot of money in it and you got 00:05:49.019 --> 00:05:53.040 to love it. So I think it's... I commend you 00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:54.980 because a lot of people are too afraid to say, 00:05:55.220 --> 00:05:57.480 ooh, this is what I wanted to do. I guess I got 00:05:57.480 --> 00:05:59.899 to go do it now. You decided, you know, this 00:05:59.899 --> 00:06:02.920 isn't for me. And what's kind of cool is that 00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:05.819 this podcast is along those same lines. I mean, 00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:07.920 obviously you're not reporting anything, but 00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:10.240 you're in front of the camera. Do you feel that 00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:12.579 being on a podcast kind of scratches that same 00:06:12.579 --> 00:06:14.360 itch for you? Like, it kind of fulfills that? 00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:17.470 Kind of, but I... don't want to where I got to 00:06:17.470 --> 00:06:19.769 research and get my facts. And I just want it 00:06:19.769 --> 00:06:20.990 to be fun. You want to be you. I just want to 00:06:20.990 --> 00:06:22.689 be us. I talk about housewives, talk about kids, 00:06:22.829 --> 00:06:25.990 you know what I mean? So kind of, but not not 00:06:25.990 --> 00:06:28.910 really like working with a reporter and the hours 00:06:28.910 --> 00:06:31.490 and the money. Like, it's just not. Yeah. My 00:06:31.490 --> 00:06:33.949 thought on that was along your lines, too, is 00:06:33.949 --> 00:06:35.670 I was like, I could never do this because I just 00:06:35.670 --> 00:06:38.449 I. I just can't take myself serious being like, 00:06:38.709 --> 00:06:41.670 and now we're going to go into this story here 00:06:41.670 --> 00:06:44.509 about a dog. You know what I mean? The buffalo 00:06:44.509 --> 00:06:47.389 bells lose again. And I can't with the yuck yuck 00:06:47.389 --> 00:06:49.910 on the voice. I'm like, I can't. I respect those 00:06:49.910 --> 00:06:52.750 people, but it's just not me. It's not really 00:06:52.750 --> 00:06:55.230 me. Can they teach you to do that? No, no. Well, 00:06:55.230 --> 00:06:57.889 they do. Yeah, there's a whole class that you 00:06:57.889 --> 00:07:00.170 have to take. where you will learn how to do 00:07:00.170 --> 00:07:01.930 stand -ups and you will learn how to sit at a 00:07:01.930 --> 00:07:04.389 desk with an earpiece in and you have to do a 00:07:04.389 --> 00:07:06.829 mock news thing. And that's actually when I did 00:07:06.829 --> 00:07:09.110 learn that like, oh, this isn't for me because 00:07:09.110 --> 00:07:11.350 it was too rigid and stiff for me. And by the 00:07:11.350 --> 00:07:14.310 way, people don't understand how hard it is to 00:07:14.310 --> 00:07:17.069 be a journalist and to be a news anchor. It is 00:07:17.069 --> 00:07:20.089 a talent. I'm talking about just the cadence. 00:07:21.589 --> 00:07:23.870 We were the minutia of it. Our professor would 00:07:23.870 --> 00:07:25.769 be like, you're talking about something sad. 00:07:25.870 --> 00:07:29.459 You can't have an uptick in your voice. It is 00:07:29.459 --> 00:07:31.540 very impressive, but it just wasn't for me. Like 00:07:31.540 --> 00:07:34.199 you said, you know, it wasn't for you. And in 00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:37.180 fact, the professor would say, stop, that's a 00:07:37.180 --> 00:07:38.899 little too much yuck, yuck on the voice, which 00:07:38.899 --> 00:07:42.279 is this thing here, you know, like, I mean, it's 00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:45.240 not, yeah, it's a little too much. But anyway, 00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:48.240 with that being said, so you decide, I want to 00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:52.550 do a podcast, you tell Marissa, and... I assume 00:07:52.550 --> 00:07:54.389 you had to have this conversation with your husbands. 00:07:54.629 --> 00:07:56.490 What were their reactions? Were they... I mean, 00:07:56.529 --> 00:07:57.970 obviously they were supportive, but were they 00:07:57.970 --> 00:08:01.110 like, what? Or... Actually, mine was... I was 00:08:01.110 --> 00:08:02.910 shocked. He was like, no, I think it's great. 00:08:03.129 --> 00:08:05.389 Go for it. Do it. And he's been very supportive. 00:08:05.810 --> 00:08:08.930 And actually, funny, he works at the firehouse 00:08:08.930 --> 00:08:11.790 and all the guys... will like play it for him. 00:08:11.930 --> 00:08:13.970 And he's like, will you stop doing that? Like 00:08:13.970 --> 00:08:16.269 they're not really teasing him because the first 00:08:16.269 --> 00:08:18.209 episode we talked about him a lot. Yeah, of course. 00:08:18.209 --> 00:08:20.629 And his corks or whatever. But yeah, like he 00:08:20.629 --> 00:08:22.490 was driving the truck and he's like, they won't 00:08:22.490 --> 00:08:25.269 stop playing this goddamn podcast if you're talking 00:08:25.269 --> 00:08:28.449 about me. But he loves it. That's an element 00:08:28.449 --> 00:08:30.509 of this I never thought of. You know, you work 00:08:30.509 --> 00:08:32.070 in a firehouse. There's a lot of ball busting 00:08:32.070 --> 00:08:33.889 going on. They love it. The more you talk about 00:08:33.889 --> 00:08:35.970 your husbands, they're going to just crank it 00:08:35.970 --> 00:08:37.929 out. They're going to crank it out. I want to 00:08:37.929 --> 00:08:40.580 do an episode. I want to have two wives on. And 00:08:40.580 --> 00:08:42.240 we could talk about what it's like being married 00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:44.279 to a fireman. Like an honor this whole... See, 00:08:44.299 --> 00:08:45.940 here's the advantage of having a husband that's 00:08:45.940 --> 00:08:48.600 not really good with technology. He doesn't know 00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.320 that it's been released. So he's constantly like, 00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:56.139 when's it gonna be out again? And, oh, here's 00:08:56.139 --> 00:08:58.639 a good topic for the next podcast. And he'll 00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:01.139 just shoot some ideas out. Meanwhile, he has 00:09:01.139 --> 00:09:03.259 no idea what's really... He was supportive though, 00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:06.940 right? Oh, yeah. He's getting good. And the kids... 00:09:06.809 --> 00:09:08.830 And the kids, my son will come down with his 00:09:08.830 --> 00:09:10.289 iPad and all of a sudden he'll just have the 00:09:10.289 --> 00:09:13.269 intro playing on blast. And he's walking by dancing. 00:09:13.529 --> 00:09:17.830 I'm like, will you stop? So earlier you talked 00:09:17.830 --> 00:09:20.389 about kind of your origin story with your podcast, 00:09:20.509 --> 00:09:24.889 Crazy Real, with Buji and Zog, which airs. You 00:09:24.889 --> 00:09:26.570 know, we produce it here at Clickstream Studios. 00:09:26.710 --> 00:09:29.690 You can listen or watch anywhere. You consume 00:09:29.690 --> 00:09:33.360 podcasts. You were inspired by Two Bears, One 00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:35.559 Cave, right? Is that the right one? Yes. With 00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:39.299 Burt and Tom Segura. You said you were also really 00:09:39.299 --> 00:09:41.659 inspired by Nick, is it Nicky Marie Unplugged? 00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:44.659 Yes. And you followed her. Yes. Tell us a little 00:09:44.659 --> 00:09:49.539 bit about, what is it about her and that show 00:09:49.539 --> 00:09:51.940 that kind of inspired you to want to do this? 00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:57.100 So she is just a mom, like me. She's just in 00:09:57.100 --> 00:09:59.899 her own home, comfortable like me. I live in 00:09:59.899 --> 00:10:01.759 my sweatpants. I live in my yoga pants. You're 00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:04.019 never going to see me dressed up. She's the same 00:10:04.019 --> 00:10:06.860 way. She talks about exactly what I want to talk 00:10:06.860 --> 00:10:10.840 about. Kids, raising two kids and funny things. 00:10:11.019 --> 00:10:12.960 Disney, her and I, her obsession with Disney 00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:15.120 is like me and that kind of, and then Disney 00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:18.279 like picked her up and she now goes as an influencer. 00:10:18.340 --> 00:10:20.519 They send her and her kids and I was just, that's 00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:22.899 like... why I wanted to do this. I want to get 00:10:22.899 --> 00:10:24.940 big where I can go to Disney. That's really my 00:10:24.940 --> 00:10:26.539 goal. That's your goal. So my kids and I should 00:10:26.539 --> 00:10:29.139 go to Disney. Let's just be honest. This whole 00:10:29.139 --> 00:10:32.379 thing is so... Literally. ...Boojie can go to 00:10:32.379 --> 00:10:35.019 Disney. That's it. I'm not lying. It's stupid 00:10:35.019 --> 00:10:36.320 to some people. No, it's not stupid. But it's 00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:38.559 like... It's not stupid. I just... You know what 00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:41.320 it is? And correct me if I'm wrong. I feel like 00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:45.080 you listen to Two Bears One Cave and it's funny 00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:46.899 and you think, oh, man, that would be so fun 00:10:46.899 --> 00:10:49.740 to do a really professional podcast. And I bet 00:10:49.740 --> 00:10:51.649 you, correct me if I'm wrong, that the Nick and 00:10:51.649 --> 00:10:54.750 Marie unplugged kind of showed you like, oh, 00:10:54.830 --> 00:10:56.870 oh, wait a minute. It doesn't have to be like, 00:10:56.870 --> 00:10:59.809 like it can be professional, but like I can be 00:10:59.809 --> 00:11:02.110 in my sweatpants and I can talk about Disney. 00:11:02.210 --> 00:11:04.750 Did that kind of give you the idea of like, oh, 00:11:04.750 --> 00:11:08.370 wait, I can I can do this and still be me and 00:11:08.370 --> 00:11:10.669 laid back. Yeah. And she's more relatable, like 00:11:10.669 --> 00:11:12.590 on my level, like kind of like Two Bears One 00:11:12.590 --> 00:11:14.570 Cave. I just love because they do talk about 00:11:14.570 --> 00:11:16.169 the stupidest things and they're funny. But a 00:11:16.169 --> 00:11:18.509 lot of those guys like Theo Vonem, they're comedians. 00:11:18.610 --> 00:11:20.860 Yeah. I'm not funny. So it's like, I feel like 00:11:20.860 --> 00:11:23.399 a lot of those guys are funny and that's what 00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:25.220 they work off of, you know, their comedic thing. 00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:27.440 And then she's kind of more like just you and 00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:29.500 I. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like if she can 00:11:29.500 --> 00:11:31.679 do it, I mean, it takes a lot of work. The behind 00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:33.519 the scenes. I can't believe all the stuff behind 00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:36.139 the scenes. You can still be you can still be 00:11:36.139 --> 00:11:37.759 funny and not be a comedian. You know, there's 00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:39.779 a way. And yeah, you're right. You know, and 00:11:39.779 --> 00:11:42.120 you guys are funny because you're in your element. 00:11:42.179 --> 00:11:45.299 That's the key with podcasting is as long as 00:11:45.299 --> 00:11:47.059 you're doing something that's in your element 00:11:47.059 --> 00:11:49.039 where you can be you. And that's what you guys 00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:52.139 are doing. And so, before we talk about the podcast, 00:11:52.539 --> 00:11:54.059 I do want to mention, speaking of Nikki Marie 00:11:54.059 --> 00:11:56.019 on Plug, very exciting for us here at Clickstream 00:11:56.019 --> 00:11:57.860 Studios, but more exciting for you guys, and 00:11:57.860 --> 00:12:00.299 we're so happy for you. She ended up sharing 00:12:00.299 --> 00:12:03.720 one of your clips from an episode of Crazy Real? 00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:06.580 Yesterday. Talk about it. On the Disney episode, 00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:09.080 we talked about her, because Sarah, who we had 00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:11.840 on, went on an influencer cruise that Disney 00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:14.250 sent them on. Yes, I produced that episode. And 00:12:14.250 --> 00:12:16.090 Nikki was on it. She goes, Oh, yeah, Nikki was 00:12:16.090 --> 00:12:17.610 on it, too. So we just started talking about 00:12:17.610 --> 00:12:20.789 her and we just tagged her in it. And she reposted 00:12:20.789 --> 00:12:23.090 on Instagram. She reposted the video on Facebook. 00:12:23.309 --> 00:12:25.490 Her mom requested to follow us. I requested to 00:12:25.490 --> 00:12:27.490 follow her mom. Her mom was the first one to 00:12:27.490 --> 00:12:29.950 like our video today that went out. So it's like 00:12:29.950 --> 00:12:33.029 a lot of people might not. It's a big deal. It 00:12:33.029 --> 00:12:36.950 is a big deal. And it is a big deal. Because 00:12:36.950 --> 00:12:39.830 in your world, that's someone that's a main influence 00:12:39.830 --> 00:12:42.649 of yours. It's someone that you follow. And, 00:12:42.769 --> 00:12:45.049 you know, I tell clients all the time that, and 00:12:45.049 --> 00:12:46.889 I tell our social media team that edits these 00:12:46.889 --> 00:12:50.090 clips, like, make sure you tag some of the companies 00:12:50.090 --> 00:12:51.850 or people you're talking about because you never 00:12:51.850 --> 00:12:55.830 know when they're going to reshare it. And that's 00:12:55.830 --> 00:12:57.629 how collaborations start. More than any other 00:12:57.629 --> 00:13:00.269 industry, you know, podcasting specifically now 00:13:00.269 --> 00:13:02.649 is just a ton of cross -marketing and networking 00:13:02.649 --> 00:13:04.970 where everybody wins. You know, back... Back 00:13:04.970 --> 00:13:07.470 in the television days, it was very much more 00:13:07.470 --> 00:13:09.269 competitive because you're competing with networks 00:13:09.269 --> 00:13:11.750 and ratings. And now we're in a world where, 00:13:11.970 --> 00:13:14.509 yes, there is a ton of over -saturation, but 00:13:14.509 --> 00:13:16.529 it allows for cross -marketing and networking 00:13:16.529 --> 00:13:20.090 where everybody can have their own thing and 00:13:20.090 --> 00:13:24.830 their own pockets of fame. And I'm going to say 00:13:24.830 --> 00:13:28.009 one more thing. Nikki, we'll be on a girls' trip 00:13:28.009 --> 00:13:30.009 in Boston at the beginning of March, so if you're 00:13:30.009 --> 00:13:33.679 around. I'm just, I'm just kidding. The chances 00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:35.919 of that happening. Where does she live? Massachusetts. 00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:39.600 All right. Yeah. See? Anything's possible. Anything's 00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:41.960 possible. But let's talk about your podcast, 00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:46.100 Crazy Real, with Gujian Zag. I love it. I'm one 00:13:46.100 --> 00:13:49.240 of the producers, along with Danny Tripodi. We're 00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:51.399 so happy to have you as clients. What I love 00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:53.460 about your podcast is everything you've already 00:13:53.460 --> 00:13:56.440 explained, which is it's professional. It's interesting. 00:13:56.620 --> 00:13:57.860 You know, you had a psychic on. That's going 00:13:57.860 --> 00:14:00.289 to be on the next episode. I loved that. But 00:14:00.289 --> 00:14:02.009 it's also very relatable because, again, you 00:14:02.009 --> 00:14:05.909 guys are relating to other women your age and 00:14:05.909 --> 00:14:09.809 moms and wives. But tell us, at the meat of it, 00:14:10.009 --> 00:14:12.529 what is kind of your goal and what's the overall 00:14:12.529 --> 00:14:16.149 theme of Crazy Real? What do you think our goal 00:14:16.149 --> 00:14:18.889 is? Well, we know the goal is you need to get 00:14:18.889 --> 00:14:20.950 to Disney. That's number one. That's the ultimate 00:14:20.950 --> 00:14:23.409 goal. Let's get that out of the way. For free. 00:14:23.570 --> 00:14:27.809 That's number one. For free, yeah. Honestly, 00:14:27.929 --> 00:14:31.440 just to get big, you know, I hate to say this, 00:14:31.620 --> 00:14:34.200 but in reality, people, it's to make money, too. 00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:36.679 Sure. Like, and I just can't believe we're meeting 00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:39.399 with marketing people. There's just so much work. 00:14:39.539 --> 00:14:42.500 Yeah. I mean, it's like a full -time job. It 00:14:42.500 --> 00:14:43.039 is a full -time job. It's like a whole other 00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:45.919 job. So to make money. But I think that every, 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:50.299 the goal is to just have, like, every, like to 00:14:50.299 --> 00:14:53.320 have everyday conversations. Yes. And do people 00:14:53.320 --> 00:14:55.879 come up to us like, hey, you know, that episode 00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:58.759 really, you know, hit me in a certain way or? 00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:00.500 You know what I mean? Stuff like that. Just to 00:15:00.500 --> 00:15:03.320 reach out to people, too. What are some of the 00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:06.960 topics and or guests that that you're going to 00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:08.960 talk about and have on on the show that people 00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:10.940 can expect? What kind of things do you talk about? 00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:13.740 So actually, our next episode is Regan's acts 00:15:13.740 --> 00:15:16.159 of kindness. Everybody who lives in the area 00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:19.159 knows what happened in 2017. So like people will 00:15:19.159 --> 00:15:21.039 remember that story, you know, just to get it 00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:23.000 out, to have people, you know. It was a heavy 00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:27.240 episode. Yeah, to remember her. I kind of don't 00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:29.879 know. I just want to have a little bit of everything. 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:32.220 I don't know what's going to interest people. 00:15:32.379 --> 00:15:34.100 I don't know what people are going to hate. I 00:15:34.100 --> 00:15:37.600 don't know, you know. Yeah, no. And that's that's 00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:39.759 kind of the theme of all of this for everybody 00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:42.580 is, you know, I tell people all the time, get 00:15:42.580 --> 00:15:46.279 rid of preconceived notions, just find something 00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:49.700 that you love and that fulfills you in the in 00:15:49.700 --> 00:15:52.620 the podcast realm. Be yourself and the success 00:15:52.620 --> 00:15:54.860 will come because the people that are interested 00:15:54.860 --> 00:15:57.600 in you are going to are going to find you. And 00:15:57.600 --> 00:15:59.740 they're and they're going to latch on, you know, 00:15:59.799 --> 00:16:03.259 and that's the beauty of this, because. Before, 00:16:03.340 --> 00:16:05.759 when there were just relied on networks, right, 00:16:05.820 --> 00:16:08.000 I keep going back to this on television, you 00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:09.879 know, shows were forced on people and you're 00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:12.259 like, I don't like this. Now it's like you can 00:16:12.259 --> 00:16:15.059 find your own shows like, oh, crazy, real, bougie. 00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:18.360 That's totally something I'm into. And and you 00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:20.840 have your own little pocket of a fan base. And 00:16:20.840 --> 00:16:22.799 that's that's awesome. Like next week, we're 00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:24.539 going to come in. We're literally going to talk 00:16:24.539 --> 00:16:25.740 about the real house. I haven't thought like 00:16:25.740 --> 00:16:27.559 city just because. we're obsessed with the show 00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:29.240 and she's like, we gotta have your cousin Mark. 00:16:29.779 --> 00:16:31.100 So my cousin Mark's gonna come and listen to 00:16:31.100 --> 00:16:32.419 us and talk about it because he's so obsessed 00:16:32.419 --> 00:16:36.279 with it too. That's great. And he's funny. Yeah. 00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:39.559 So in a perfect world, if you could, you know, 00:16:39.700 --> 00:16:43.500 when you guys picture who your listeners, followers, 00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:46.759 fan base would be, who do you, I know you want 00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:48.899 to cater to everybody that'll listen, but like 00:16:48.899 --> 00:16:51.059 when you picture that, what's your target audience? 00:16:51.179 --> 00:16:55.340 What do you think? What do you think? It's probably 00:16:55.340 --> 00:17:00.049 more so Women, yeah. I would have to say. Oh, 00:17:00.149 --> 00:17:05.690 sure. Yeah. Probably moms. New and our age. And 00:17:05.690 --> 00:17:08.210 people that go to Disney. People that go to Disney. 00:17:09.670 --> 00:17:11.990 People that go to Disney. Yeah, there you go. 00:17:13.109 --> 00:17:15.269 Coming up, what can we look forward to? I know 00:17:15.269 --> 00:17:17.990 you did, I did kind of tease that there's going 00:17:17.990 --> 00:17:21.750 to be an episode, the heavy episode. Also, you 00:17:21.750 --> 00:17:24.609 have, I think, a psychic that came on. Give us 00:17:24.609 --> 00:17:28.170 a little tease of some guests or shows coming 00:17:28.170 --> 00:17:32.829 up. We're going to talk about the Salt Lake City. 00:17:32.829 --> 00:17:36.230 Also, I have reality TV. We also want to do an 00:17:36.230 --> 00:17:39.309 episode just her and I about kids. Between the 00:17:39.309 --> 00:17:41.710 first and the second, the difference. Running 00:17:41.710 --> 00:17:45.650 around with sports, that type of stuff. A psychic 00:17:45.650 --> 00:17:50.769 we just did. I have another. story that I'm not 00:17:50.769 --> 00:17:52.509 going to talk about right now yet, but it's a 00:17:52.509 --> 00:17:54.589 good feel story too of something in the area 00:17:54.589 --> 00:17:58.549 that happened. I have a couple other guests that 00:17:58.549 --> 00:18:01.369 I have inquiries in, but they're not definite 00:18:01.369 --> 00:18:03.410 yet, so I don't really want to say, but yeah. 00:18:03.589 --> 00:18:06.349 I mean, I like the guest thing. I really do. 00:18:07.109 --> 00:18:09.309 I love the guests. Yeah, we do love the guests, 00:18:09.309 --> 00:18:11.509 but we do have to do some with just us too. You 00:18:11.509 --> 00:18:15.450 know, it's just to see. Oh, absolutely. I recommend, 00:18:15.609 --> 00:18:17.980 you know, like with Good News York, we do. We 00:18:17.980 --> 00:18:20.859 have guests and there's times where it's just 00:18:20.859 --> 00:18:22.740 Matt and I and we're kind of riffing and there's 00:18:22.740 --> 00:18:26.099 a beauty in both of those. So we're still trying 00:18:26.099 --> 00:18:28.480 to figure it out. I really don't know. It's okay. 00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:31.700 And it's a continuous process of figuring things 00:18:31.700 --> 00:18:36.099 out and changing things up. Do you have a vision 00:18:36.099 --> 00:18:39.099 in the short or long term of where you would 00:18:39.099 --> 00:18:44.859 like this podcast to go? Any big goals or milestones 00:18:44.859 --> 00:18:47.299 you want to hit? Are you just kind of on the 00:18:47.299 --> 00:18:48.660 ride? Just kind of on the ride. On the ride, 00:18:48.779 --> 00:18:50.720 yeah. That's the right mentality. Yeah, I really 00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:53.180 don't have a main goal. Yeah. Just to get to 00:18:53.180 --> 00:18:56.660 Disney again. For free. For free. Yeah. For free. 00:18:57.759 --> 00:18:59.940 Is there anything else you guys want to chat 00:18:59.940 --> 00:19:04.839 about that I have not hit? Because I know you 00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:06.660 brought some notes with you, so I want to make 00:19:06.660 --> 00:19:10.720 sure we hit everything. Yeah. No, I think we 00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:17.410 really... What is one thing that each of you 00:19:17.410 --> 00:19:22.589 would like people to know about yourselves. What 00:19:22.589 --> 00:19:25.349 you see is what you get. Yeah. I can attest to 00:19:25.349 --> 00:19:30.289 that. I will tell you to your face. I will. I'm 00:19:30.289 --> 00:19:33.849 not gonna lie. I'm not gonna... I am so loyal. 00:19:33.910 --> 00:19:35.869 I will be so nice to you. But if you do something 00:19:35.869 --> 00:19:38.470 to me or my family, it's that Italian... Are 00:19:38.470 --> 00:19:40.769 you Italian? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Me too. And 00:19:40.769 --> 00:19:43.250 my husband calls me Italian Northside. From the 00:19:43.250 --> 00:19:45.480 Northsides, we don't... That's a joke. That's 00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:48.279 how I've always been. I've always been the, like, 00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:50.940 you know, if I love you, you'll never feel more 00:19:50.940 --> 00:19:54.099 love. And if I don't like you, I'm not going 00:19:54.099 --> 00:19:56.460 to like you. Watch out. Watch out. Oh, yeah. 00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:58.160 And it's weird, too, how, like, you know, in 00:19:58.160 --> 00:20:00.480 high school, you're like, you have your people 00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:02.539 you like, people you hate. Then as you become 00:20:02.539 --> 00:20:05.380 parents, it's the same thing. It's like fricking 00:20:05.380 --> 00:20:07.059 high school again at these kids' schools. You're 00:20:07.059 --> 00:20:09.440 just like, oh, my God. Oh, it's brutal. It's 00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:14.319 brutal. What about you? I just like social media. 00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:18.640 Isn't it funny how you can exist? No, listen. 00:20:18.819 --> 00:20:22.019 I do. This is my career and there are so many 00:20:22.019 --> 00:20:24.720 aspects of social media I absolutely hate. That's 00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:27.299 where I'm at. I feel like the older I get, the 00:20:27.299 --> 00:20:29.920 more difficult it becomes. I am now at the point 00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:34.220 where I'm asking my 11 -year -old for help. There's 00:20:34.220 --> 00:20:39.130 no shame in that. One of the things I've said 00:20:39.130 --> 00:20:41.569 to people over the years is that my dad actually 00:20:41.569 --> 00:20:43.589 told me this once. He said, there was this episode 00:20:43.589 --> 00:20:45.990 of The Twilight Zone where this guy wished he 00:20:45.990 --> 00:20:47.849 could hear everybody's thoughts and he was granted 00:20:47.849 --> 00:20:49.250 that wish. And by the end of the episode, he 00:20:49.250 --> 00:20:51.150 goes clinically insane. Yes, I know that. Right. 00:20:51.849 --> 00:20:53.990 And my father was like, that's what social media 00:20:53.990 --> 00:20:56.269 is. You're hearing everybody's thoughts. Yes. 00:20:56.769 --> 00:20:59.190 And there's a lot of people out there whose thoughts 00:20:59.190 --> 00:21:01.049 we probably don't want to hear. A lot of people. 00:21:01.109 --> 00:21:04.650 But there's so much beauty and awesomeness and 00:21:04.650 --> 00:21:07.500 so much money to be made in social media. You 00:21:07.500 --> 00:21:09.440 know, for me to say I hate social media wouldn't 00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:11.579 make sense. I work in that field. But there is 00:21:11.579 --> 00:21:13.799 no shame in saying, hey, even though I do this, 00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:16.000 there are aspects of social media I cannot stand. 00:21:16.160 --> 00:21:18.480 And I get it. And a big thing I hate, too, is 00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:20.559 people hide behind their little computer. Oh, 00:21:20.559 --> 00:21:22.099 of course. And they think they're so tough and... 00:21:22.099 --> 00:21:24.259 No profile pic. And they're just commenting. 00:21:24.920 --> 00:21:27.920 So that's going to be a... Once that starts going 00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:29.940 and you start getting the negatives, I'm like, 00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:31.460 could it be a good thing? Are we making it in 00:21:31.460 --> 00:21:34.059 the world? Yeah. Or, you know, just can't let 00:21:34.059 --> 00:21:38.279 it bother you? I took... that I'll give to you 00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:40.819 is because obviously once Good News York started, 00:21:40.980 --> 00:21:42.720 there's always trolls on there making fun of 00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:46.440 your appearance. And I would get that out of 00:21:46.440 --> 00:21:49.200 shape sometimes, you know, because like any human, 00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:51.480 I have insecurities. And then someone said to 00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:54.640 me, never take criticism from somebody you wouldn't 00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:58.400 go to for advice. And I loved that. And I lived 00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:00.380 by that. And that's something I love to share 00:22:00.380 --> 00:22:04.559 with our clients is, you know, we there's going 00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:07.059 to be negativity. But it's less about you and 00:22:07.059 --> 00:22:09.000 more about the people on the other side who are 00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:10.900 hiding behind their little thing and they probably 00:22:10.900 --> 00:22:12.859 As soon as you see they don't have a profile 00:22:12.859 --> 00:22:14.759 picture or their profile pictures their dog, 00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:18.559 you know, like They're either ugly on the outside 00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:22.700 or on the inside or both either way crazy real 00:22:22.700 --> 00:22:27.440 with bougie bougie and Zag Produced here at clickstream 00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:31.259 studios You can find it anywhere and everywhere 00:22:31.259 --> 00:22:35.569 podcasts are consumed downloaded watch Give us 00:22:35.569 --> 00:22:38.250 the plugs.
