That I can. 15 00:00:55,580 --> 00:00:59,100 Oh, I can hear you, too. I didn't know you were moving to the stage. 16 00:00:59,900 --> 00:01:03,650 I made a switch. I didn't tell anybody. I went from behind the 17 00:01:03,650 --> 00:01:07,330 scenes to the main stage. We'll switch it up so you can see 18 00:01:07,330 --> 00:01:10,010 both Maria and I. Oh, maybe.

Well, maybe not this show, but you've been on 21 00:01:18,170 --> 00:01:21,690 every show I think I've ever produced. There's been a Maria Daniels 22 00:01:21,690 --> 00:01:25,450 element to that show. I'm excited that this one's in the 23 00:01:25,450 --> 00:01:28,890 morning, though. I would like to go ahead and submit my approval for this because 24 00:01:29,450 --> 00:01:32,890 usually you want to do like 8pm I'm like 8, and the PM is not 25 00:01:32,890 --> 00:01:36,550 for Maria, but this is. Is great. I love morning shows. That's 26 00:01:36,550 --> 00:01:40,310 true. All my shows are like 7pm And Maria's like, I'm done for the day. 27 00:01:40,310 --> 00:01:44,030 I've been up since 4. Yeah, yeah. Usually you can tell because I'm like, 28 00:01:44,030 --> 00:01:47,430 like, half melting in my chair and drooling. And yeah, 29 00:01:47,670 --> 00:01:51,110 morning. Morning. Maria is a whole different person. So we're still. We're still awake at 30 00:01:51,110 --> 00:01:54,150 this time, so it's good. Well, this is a new format we're trying out for 31 00:01:54,150 --> 00:01:57,430 Poduty and the News. It's called Poduty and the Crew. We got a 32 00:01:57,670 --> 00:02:01,350 little morning crew joining me. We'll have some rotating panelists. 33 00:02:01,350 --> 00:02:04,990 Instead of me just reading you the stories, I'd like to get some 34 00:02:04,990 --> 00:02:08,430 feedback on these stories because this podcast was started to 35 00:02:08,430 --> 00:02:12,070 showcase all the things that are happening in live news 36 00:02:12,150 --> 00:02:15,990 or live podcasting. There's so many stories every week that 37 00:02:16,070 --> 00:02:19,829 I've been finding and scratching. I go through about a thousand different articles a 38 00:02:19,829 --> 00:02:23,470 week to find six to ten pretty good stories about live 39 00:02:23,470 --> 00:02:27,310 podcasting, and they're happening week after week after week in 40 00:02:27,310 --> 00:02:31,040 America, in the UK and Australia, and they 41 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,960 just keep coming. And we want to share that because we built what you're seeing 42 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,440 me sit on here as a podcast stage for producing 43 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,560 live podcasts. It's the first. The world's first, I believe nobody's challenged me 44 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,360 on a year. The world's first podcast theater. 45 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,880 So it's Poduty. It's outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in a town called 46 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,680 Tarentum, Pennsylvania. And we celebrated our 47 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,480 first year in business. I've been saying, the world's first podcast theater. 48 00:02:57,300 --> 00:02:59,860 And I'm gonna stick to it. 49 00:03:00,900 --> 00:03:04,340 If somebody challenges me, I can always add a qualifier. It's the world's first podcast 50 00:03:04,340 --> 00:03:07,980 theater on Corbett street in Tarentum, Pennsylvania. I think 51 00:03:07,980 --> 00:03:10,340 it's perfect. I mean, that flies. 52 00:03:12,020 --> 00:03:15,700 That works. We also are calling us morning coffee with 53 00:03:15,700 --> 00:03:19,500 Poduty and the Crew. And here in Tarentum, we have a nice little 54 00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:23,300 coffee shop called Harvest Moon. I'm having some Harvest 55 00:03:23,300 --> 00:03:26,910 Moon dark roast this morning. I went down right before 56 00:03:26,910 --> 00:03:30,190 showtime, got a fresh cup, and they. They recognized me. I was pretty excited. Like, 57 00:03:30,190 --> 00:03:33,350 how's it going down at the theater? You gotta bring them on. 58 00:03:35,030 --> 00:03:37,790 I'm thinking about doing that. Maria had a great idea. I think it was two 59 00:03:37,790 --> 00:03:41,270 years ago. We did a, like a Christmas market. We had like 60 00:03:41,430 --> 00:03:45,150 10 vendors come on and showcase, you know, 61 00:03:45,150 --> 00:03:48,750 their businesses, showcase what they sell. I think about taking 62 00:03:48,750 --> 00:03:52,460 Maria's idea, doing it locally this year. You should. Yeah, 63 00:03:52,460 --> 00:03:55,100 do like a whole. Like a local. I think that would be awesome. 64 00:03:56,300 --> 00:04:00,140 Awesome. Are you ready to get into our first story? I am. I'm excited. I 65 00:04:00,140 --> 00:04:03,420 love Titanic. So let's. Let's go with it. Spoiler alert. 66 00:04:03,740 --> 00:04:07,100 Yeah, let's go to that first story. All aboard the 67 00:04:07,100 --> 00:04:10,820 Titanic tour. This comes to us from Hot Press, the 68 00:04:10,820 --> 00:04:14,460 award winning podcast. The Rest is History is setting 69 00:04:14,460 --> 00:04:18,060 sail for the stage with a live tour dedicated to one of the most 70 00:04:18,060 --> 00:04:21,830 famous ships in history, the Titanic. Hosts 71 00:04:21,830 --> 00:04:25,630 Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook will bring their sharp wit 72 00:04:25,630 --> 00:04:29,430 and storytelling to Belfast, Dublin and Cork. Or 73 00:04:29,430 --> 00:04:32,910 to Belfast comma, Dublin and Cork this April. 74 00:04:33,310 --> 00:04:36,990 Tackling the myths, mysteries, and monumental legacy of the 75 00:04:36,990 --> 00:04:40,550 doomed liner. With more than 700 episodes under their 76 00:04:40,550 --> 00:04:44,110 belt and recognition from the British Academy itself, 77 00:04:44,510 --> 00:04:48,260 this UK podcasting powerhouse is proving that history, it doesn't 78 00:04:48,260 --> 00:04:52,060 just belong in the books, it belongs in front of live audiences 79 00:04:52,060 --> 00:04:55,860 too. And you know, I would open with this thing about podcasting 80 00:04:55,860 --> 00:04:59,220 and live theaters. And here's a show 81 00:04:59,700 --> 00:05:03,420 recognized by the British Academy. They've produced 700 episodes. 82 00:05:03,420 --> 00:05:07,100 And what are they doing now in 2025? They're 83 00:05:07,100 --> 00:05:10,420 taking it on tour. They're hitting three cities, 84 00:05:10,660 --> 00:05:14,210 which is just incredible. Belfast, Dublin, And Cork and 85 00:05:14,210 --> 00:05:17,970 Marie, you mentioned you love Titanic. Would this be a show you'd seek 86 00:05:17,970 --> 00:05:21,170 out if it was here in the States? Absolutely. Well, and I think it's really 87 00:05:21,170 --> 00:05:23,530 cool, like, even though it's not in the States, and I would love to be 88 00:05:23,530 --> 00:05:26,250 able to see it here in the States, I think it's awesome that 89 00:05:27,210 --> 00:05:30,250 they're going to be doing that in the area where the ship was built. You 90 00:05:30,250 --> 00:05:34,010 know, it's almost like visiting like a ghost hometown or something. I 91 00:05:34,010 --> 00:05:36,890 think that's, that's a really cool concept, in my opinion. 92 00:05:37,690 --> 00:05:40,490 Yeah, I love it. I love taking it on the road, going to where the 93 00:05:40,490 --> 00:05:43,810 history happened and, and, and re. You know, reminiscing. What's that? 94 00:05:43,810 --> 00:05:47,410 112 years later they'd be doing a tour. 95 00:05:48,050 --> 00:05:51,690 Imagine trying to explain to people on the Titanic that in 112 96 00:05:51,690 --> 00:05:55,410 years there'll be a podcast where two people come on and talk 97 00:05:55,410 --> 00:05:59,250 about the Titanic. Yeah, absolutely. Well, and I think that, 98 00:05:59,250 --> 00:06:02,210 like, I think this shows just how 99 00:06:02,770 --> 00:06:06,450 podcasting isn't just that typical podcast thing that we thought it 100 00:06:06,450 --> 00:06:10,290 was, because, and even, you know, lots of people are starting to figure 101 00:06:10,290 --> 00:06:14,120 out that, you know, like, even, like kids and, you know, 102 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,680 teenagers and, you know, elderly, like, everybody is getting 103 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,360 news and music and everything from creators that are creating these 104 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,960 podcasts. And so I think this is a really cool concept because 105 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,680 podcasting is kind of like today's radio, which I know I have friends who work 106 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,920 for radio. They're probably argue with me about that, but I'm, I'm still saying it 107 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,840 because it's on demand, it's niche, it's creator led, and it's kind of 108 00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:39,600 giving these different angles and again, taking something that's become 109 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,960 like a cultural obsession for us. Titanic, you know, we keep 110 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,600 coming back to the story because I think even if we're not history 111 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,400 bus, which I am a history buff, I love history. It's that unknown, 112 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,240 that mystery, right. That keeps us kind of pulled in. And, you know, 113 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,920 when the Titanic movie came out, and I want to say it was like, what, 114 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,520 96, 97 or something? It was late 90s, you know, obviously that 115 00:07:02,840 --> 00:07:06,600 was a huge hit. Even though I, I 116 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,110 want to bring this up real quick, if they're going to be doing this, 117 00:07:10,430 --> 00:07:13,950 you know, this Titanic thing, are they going to like, 118 00:07:13,950 --> 00:07:17,790 finally settle that door debate? Like, I don't know where you stand on that, 119 00:07:17,790 --> 00:07:21,350 because I am here to say that there was plenty of 120 00:07:21,350 --> 00:07:25,030 room on that door. Physics agrees, science agrees, 121 00:07:25,030 --> 00:07:28,870 my inner child agrees that there was plenty of room on that 122 00:07:28,870 --> 00:07:32,150 door. Just saying. Yeah, it wasn't a good look for her, 123 00:07:32,150 --> 00:07:35,860 honestly. You know, if you really like somebody, you know, you might want 124 00:07:35,860 --> 00:07:39,620 to try to, you know, help them survive. I, I would agree with that. 125 00:07:39,620 --> 00:07:43,220 She didn't even try. She's, like, laying across the, the whole door instead of, like, 126 00:07:43,220 --> 00:07:46,980 balancing out. Like, come on, we could, like, the Dora would have been buoyant enough 127 00:07:46,980 --> 00:07:49,980 if they would have balanced the weight. So I'm just saying that I feel like 128 00:07:49,980 --> 00:07:53,740 they need to kind of tackle that debate. That's a big one. And imagine if, 129 00:07:53,740 --> 00:07:57,340 if he did survive, like, how awkward the holidays would be. Like, 130 00:07:58,140 --> 00:08:01,910 like, absolutely. All you got me was a bowie 131 00:08:01,910 --> 00:08:05,270 knife. You almost let me die in the Atlantic Ocean. Yeah. 132 00:08:05,910 --> 00:08:09,630 So that, that, that same bugs me. You had a great 133 00:08:09,630 --> 00:08:13,030 segue already. To our second story. We're talking about radio. 134 00:08:13,350 --> 00:08:17,070 We're going from TikTok to talk radio. This comes to us from Radio 135 00:08:17,070 --> 00:08:20,910 Info. This isn't quite a podcast. This was a, a conference. But 136 00:08:20,910 --> 00:08:24,630 look at what they're talking about. At Radio Days Asia, Daniel, 137 00:08:24,630 --> 00:08:27,910 Ahem. Of ABC Australia delivered a reality check. 138 00:08:28,510 --> 00:08:32,270 Young audiences aren't waiting around to grow into traditional 139 00:08:32,270 --> 00:08:35,470 media. They're already tuned into creators. 140 00:08:36,190 --> 00:08:39,990 Ahem. Explained TikTok is 141 00:08:39,990 --> 00:08:43,710 their discovery feed, YouTube is their TV feed, and 142 00:08:43,950 --> 00:08:47,550 podcasts are the radio. By training creators like 143 00:08:47,550 --> 00:08:51,270 historian Aslan Pahari and art expert Mary 144 00:08:51,270 --> 00:08:54,830 McGillivray, the ABC has racked up 145 00:08:54,830 --> 00:08:58,430 over 120 million views, mostly from under 146 00:08:58,430 --> 00:09:01,230 34s. Add Jakarta's Mustang 147 00:09:01,310 --> 00:09:04,830 88.0. Giving teens the mic Deutsch. 148 00:09:04,910 --> 00:09:08,670 Well, training youth podcasters worldwide. And 149 00:09:08,670 --> 00:09:11,950 the message is clear. The future of radio and podcasting 150 00:09:12,190 --> 00:09:15,910 belongs to creators who meet young audiences where 151 00:09:15,910 --> 00:09:19,590 they already are. And this might not be something we, we think 152 00:09:19,590 --> 00:09:23,100 about too often, Maria, but if, if we know that these 153 00:09:23,100 --> 00:09:26,620 kids are going to TikTok, they're going to YouTube, they're 154 00:09:26,620 --> 00:09:30,420 streaming podcasts now on YouTube more than maybe downloading in an app 155 00:09:30,420 --> 00:09:34,260 or subscribing in an app. That's a big bubble 156 00:09:34,980 --> 00:09:38,820 that is probably going to have some effect on traditional media if 157 00:09:38,820 --> 00:09:42,620 they don't pivot in 20 years. Absolutely. Well, 158 00:09:42,620 --> 00:09:46,340 and like I said earlier, I don't think that 159 00:09:47,710 --> 00:09:51,430 radio, you know, has to be dead. I think it just needs to 160 00:09:51,430 --> 00:09:55,070 transition the way that podcasting is kind of working again with that, that 161 00:09:55,070 --> 00:09:58,670 Live on Demand creator fed. And we're discovering, 162 00:09:58,910 --> 00:10:02,430 you know, a lot of our favorite podcasts on, 163 00:10:02,670 --> 00:10:06,470 you know, tick tock or YouTube shorts. And, you know, it's, you know, 164 00:10:06,470 --> 00:10:10,230 we're surfing and seeing these little clips and then going and really, you 165 00:10:10,230 --> 00:10:13,870 know, finding some of our favorite shows. There's ones that I've found that I didn't 166 00:10:13,870 --> 00:10:17,710 even know existed, and I found them from shorts. Yeah. 167 00:10:17,710 --> 00:10:21,350 The amount of creators, I mean, I guess the access to 168 00:10:21,350 --> 00:10:24,950 being a creator this time, the barrier is so low 169 00:10:25,510 --> 00:10:29,190 that so many people can jump in and get started. It's not like 170 00:10:29,750 --> 00:10:33,510 20 years ago when we had to go to a television station 171 00:10:33,510 --> 00:10:37,270 or you had to go to the radio station to broadcast your media. 172 00:10:37,910 --> 00:10:41,510 You can do this from your basement now. Yep. You can do it 173 00:10:41,510 --> 00:10:44,960 on a phone from your basement. And I think that's. That's the thing to kind 174 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,680 of think about that, you know, podcasting is actually radio now, but 175 00:10:48,680 --> 00:10:52,440 better because, again, it's niche, it's on demand, it's way 176 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,560 more personalized. You don't have to have a big fancy 177 00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,120 like radio, you know, broadcasting studio. You can, you know, 178 00:11:00,199 --> 00:11:03,960 put together your own things or you can go use your podcasting studio that you've 179 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,760 got there, you know, pti, of course. But, you know, I, I 180 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,400 think it's. I think it's. It's so much more open 181 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,160 to just creators who are wanting to create, even if they don't know 182 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,960 every single aspect of, you know, that broadcasting world, 183 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,760 which I, I think is huge. Yeah. 184 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,680 I'm, I'm just amazed that how much this caught me off guard when I 185 00:11:26,680 --> 00:11:29,960 read it, that they're having conferences already preparing 186 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,120 for. What are we going to do when these kids reach maturity, 187 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,920 age the. The 30s and the 40s if they're not supporting 188 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,680 us now? What. What happens 20 years from now 189 00:11:41,680 --> 00:11:45,400 where we. We have a problem? Well, it does make me wonder, 190 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,200 though. I wonder if, like, the, the next, like, Walter Cronkite will be 191 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,160 somebody with like a ring light and like a cat in the background or something, 192 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,720 you know? Yeah, just a live feed of a 193 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,200 cat on green screen. 194 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,240 Well, we talked radio. We're going to Rebel Force. 195 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,680 Rebel Force Radio podcast brings us a live performance. 196 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,640 The Force was strong in California as Rebel Force 197 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,280 Radio broadcast live from Rancho Obi Wan, 198 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,440 home of the world's largest Star wars memorabilia collection. 199 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,280 Fans gathered under the stars with Steve 200 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,640 Sansweet and Newman and surprise guest puppet 201 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,320 Lando for a night of laughs, nostalgia and galactic fun 202 00:12:31,860 --> 00:12:35,700 with Billy Mack Baby Belushi and a room full of die hard 203 00:12:35,700 --> 00:12:39,500 fans. The event wasn't just about Star Wars. It was a fundraiser 204 00:12:39,500 --> 00:12:43,260 to support Rancho Obi Wan and the Saga Museum, a 205 00:12:43,260 --> 00:12:47,100 perfect reminder that fandom, when brought together live, can 206 00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:50,580 keep the galaxy far, far away thriving 207 00:12:50,740 --> 00:12:54,540 right here on Earth. Sometimes AI likes to sneak in 208 00:12:54,540 --> 00:12:58,380 a pun or two. This one 209 00:12:58,380 --> 00:13:01,620 right here, I was like, oh, no, we're going to be talking because this always 210 00:13:01,620 --> 00:13:05,440 gets a lot of booze from people. I've fully watched even one Star 211 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:09,200 wars movie. I can't make it through it, which I know, boo 212 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,800 Maria. But I do, I will say about this, 213 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,320 obviously, I'm the minority on that. Most people love it. And 214 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,320 so, you know, the fact that people, you know, geek out 215 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,640 on this and it's, you know, it's a probably a billion dollar 216 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,200 franchise. I like that they're doing the. 217 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,680 The soul of that, of that fandom and turning it into like a 218 00:13:30,680 --> 00:13:34,240 fundraiser. I think that's pretty cool. Yeah, a big podcast. 219 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,360 I don't have the total kind of episodes that they've done, but I believe they've 220 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,880 been doing it for a while. And this is an example, I think, of. 221 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,360 You've created a community. You've connected with people who like 222 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,040 what you're doing. They like the same things. And like, hey, why don't we meet 223 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,760 up in a live environment and have a special celebration? Let's embrace 224 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,600 our fans. And we got a little puppet guy, a little Lando puppet 225 00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,280 guy, and let's have some fun. Let's. Let's celebrate each 226 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,960 other while we like this thing. And I think that's exactly what 227 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,400 these types of events are for. They're to bring your community together. 228 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,560 I do have questions, though. I mean, it doesn't mention. I mean, do they have 229 00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:14,360 like a puppet Leia, do they have a, like a puppet Han Solo? Do 230 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:18,120 they have a. Maybe a puppet Vader that's like wheezing dramatically into a mic 231 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,800 somewhere? Like, I have some questions. 232 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,600 Yeah, I feel like they should. 233 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,520 So we will send our crack part. Part crack pot of 234 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,280 reporters and investigate, and we'll be back next week with 235 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,040 the answers. Maria needs to know. I would love 236 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,680 that. Like, they. Somebody needs to get back with me on that. At least. They 237 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:42,480 at least need to have Vader because, like, that's. They feel like he's very important 238 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,320 part. Of that crackpot Vader. Love it. 239 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,880 All right. One of my favorite things I've watched in the last week 240 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,550 or so. Billy Corgan has his 241 00:14:54,550 --> 00:14:58,390 own podcast called the Magnificent Others. And Devo sat down. 242 00:14:58,390 --> 00:15:01,790 And Devo also now has a documentary on Netflix that's 243 00:15:01,790 --> 00:15:05,510 phenomenal. If you get a chance, check out what they did. This 244 00:15:05,510 --> 00:15:08,990 was recorded live in front of a live audience, and it's from Chicago's 245 00:15:08,990 --> 00:15:12,750 Madame Zuzu's Tea Shop. Billy Corrigan sat Down with the 246 00:15:12,750 --> 00:15:16,350 legendary band Devo for a live taping of the magnificent Others. 247 00:15:16,750 --> 00:15:20,510 The night mixed humor and history, covering everything from their infamous 248 00:15:20,590 --> 00:15:24,300 78 SNL debut to Neil Young collaborations, 249 00:15:24,780 --> 00:15:27,980 MTV Mayhem, and even the role of AI in music. 250 00:15:28,540 --> 00:15:31,580 Between General Boy Tales and whippet nostalgia, 251 00:15:31,740 --> 00:15:35,500 Devo reminded the crowd why their playful subversion still 252 00:15:35,500 --> 00:15:39,260 resonates across generations. It was part rock 253 00:15:39,260 --> 00:15:42,220 history, part comedy, and all 254 00:15:42,460 --> 00:15:45,980 Devo, I. I can't decide. 255 00:15:46,620 --> 00:15:49,580 How I feel about this. Like, I don't know what's weird or Billy Corgan talking 256 00:15:49,580 --> 00:15:53,020 about AI or Devo talking about Neil Young. Like, I don't know. 257 00:15:53,260 --> 00:15:56,720 I don't know how feel about that. I mean, I do think, I do think 258 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,440 it's cool that Billy Corgan is kind of like leaning into this role of, 259 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,240 I guess, like a rock historian now. And. But it's still, 260 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,960 that's, that's so interesting to me. It's like. And I think again, that's 261 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,960 why this world is so interesting is because nobody could have like, 262 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,840 guessed that, that nobody could have scripted that that was going to be a thing 263 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,520 like. Nope. Like, you would have written that down 10 years ago. People would be 264 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:21,200 like, what? No. Yeah, on my 1990 bingo 265 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,840 card, wasn't Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins would interview Devo? 266 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,260 No, it, like, wait, I don't. It's just strange. But, you 267 00:16:29,260 --> 00:16:33,060 know, I, I do think that, you know, that idea of stories 268 00:16:33,060 --> 00:16:36,580 being told live, especially general boy stories being told live, kind of feels, 269 00:16:36,820 --> 00:16:40,380 you know, very Devo. But I don't know, it's very 270 00:16:40,380 --> 00:16:43,540 interesting. I don't know. I do feel like this is such an interesting, 271 00:16:43,940 --> 00:16:47,700 like, world we're living in now. Just as all of 272 00:16:47,700 --> 00:16:51,060 these creators from the past that didn't have these platforms, 273 00:16:51,540 --> 00:16:55,020 you know, are now kind of coming together to be able to talk about some 274 00:16:55,020 --> 00:16:58,580 of these, like, things in a live taping. You know what I mean? It makes 275 00:16:58,580 --> 00:17:02,180 me wonder, like, what other bands, like, what other bands should do that. Like, 276 00:17:02,180 --> 00:17:05,420 like, like imagine, like maybe like the Beastie Boys and 277 00:17:05,500 --> 00:17:06,620 Dolly Parton. 278 00:17:09,180 --> 00:17:12,780 It would be funny. I think you're exactly on point. And one of the things 279 00:17:13,100 --> 00:17:16,540 about a style like this, a podcast that's, you know, these two 280 00:17:16,700 --> 00:17:19,980 musicians. I think what we would have done 20 years ago 281 00:17:20,300 --> 00:17:23,580 is maybe read this in Rolling Stone or Spin 282 00:17:23,580 --> 00:17:27,100 magazine. This would have been an in depth interview with 283 00:17:27,100 --> 00:17:30,860 photos and maybe backstories, and this would have been an article 284 00:17:31,020 --> 00:17:34,740 that we read. But now, you know, through what Billy Corgan's 285 00:17:34,740 --> 00:17:38,500 doing with these artists, they're bringing almost like 286 00:17:38,500 --> 00:17:42,340 a magazine article to life. They're documenting this 287 00:17:42,340 --> 00:17:45,900 history in real time. They're telling their stories. And you're not just reading the words 288 00:17:45,900 --> 00:17:49,740 on a page anymore. You're hearing from Devo, hey, 289 00:17:49,740 --> 00:17:52,180 this is what we did. This is what we were trying to do. This is 290 00:17:52,180 --> 00:17:55,740 what I think we accomplished and this is what we wanted to accomplish, but nobody 291 00:17:55,740 --> 00:17:59,540 ever got it. And you're getting this perspective that you wouldn't have got 292 00:17:59,860 --> 00:18:03,180 just reading an article. And I really think that this is kind of that 293 00:18:03,180 --> 00:18:06,660 replacement to those great magazine articles we used to read. 294 00:18:07,300 --> 00:18:10,780 Yeah. And I think it's so much better because again, you're hearing it 295 00:18:10,780 --> 00:18:13,980 literally from their mouth, in their tone, their 296 00:18:13,980 --> 00:18:17,380 emotion. I think it's a pretty cool concept. Really 297 00:18:18,660 --> 00:18:22,360 awesome. And speaking of, I don't have a transition for this one, but 298 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,240 we have an accountant going on a 299 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,000 tour with his podcast the Advisory Amplified 300 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,400 Accounting Hits the Road. The source here is Blake Oliver. Blog 301 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,120 and Advisory Amplified. Forget week long 302 00:18:37,120 --> 00:18:40,480 conferences and sky high travel costs, the Advisory 303 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,040 Amplified tour is bringing practical learning to your backyard. 304 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,200 This fall, six cities will host one day events focused on 305 00:18:48,610 --> 00:18:52,410 streamlining client work, raising margins and rethinking 306 00:18:52,410 --> 00:18:56,050 the future of accounting. Each stop is capped at 100 307 00:18:56,050 --> 00:18:59,770 people with a cost of just $99. And raps with 308 00:18:59,770 --> 00:19:02,210 a live taping of the accounting podcast. 309 00:19:03,490 --> 00:19:07,290 With hands on sessions, curated tech partners and fresh voices 310 00:19:07,290 --> 00:19:10,570 from across the profession, it's making education more 311 00:19:10,570 --> 00:19:13,570 accessible, impactful and dare we say, 312 00:19:14,220 --> 00:19:18,060 actually fun. I like how that's like a question because that was my thing. When 313 00:19:18,060 --> 00:19:21,820 I first seen that I was like, wait, what? I mean, because let's 314 00:19:21,820 --> 00:19:25,180 all at least agree on this. Even if you're accountant, we can at least agree 315 00:19:25,180 --> 00:19:28,700 that accounting is not a sexy, you know, thing. Right? 316 00:19:28,860 --> 00:19:32,700 It's. And even as an accountant, typically when you're talking about like education, you're talking 317 00:19:32,700 --> 00:19:36,220 about like week long hotel conferences with like badge 318 00:19:36,220 --> 00:19:39,660 scanners and sad chicken salad lunches or something. You know, it's not like 319 00:19:40,370 --> 00:19:44,130 typically like something we think of as super fun. But 320 00:19:44,210 --> 00:19:47,890 that being said, I do think that, you know, 321 00:19:48,450 --> 00:19:51,450 this is kind of again, kind of that wave of the future, especially in the 322 00:19:51,450 --> 00:19:55,090 professional world, because you know, it's practical, it's like a one 323 00:19:55,090 --> 00:19:58,810 day event, not like some massive terrible week 324 00:19:58,810 --> 00:20:02,290 long thing. It's affordable. There's not like massive 325 00:20:02,290 --> 00:20:06,090 travel costs, you know, and they're bringing like all the stuff you need to 326 00:20:06,090 --> 00:20:09,200 know to you. I think, I mean, I think it's practical and I think it's, 327 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,920 it's a good idea. Right? Yeah, I love the idea of almost 328 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,720 doing like a training session during the day. And what are 329 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,440 they capping it off with? They're going to record their podcast live from 330 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,680 that city. So this is almost like a twofer. They're going on tour, 331 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,680 maybe they'll bring on additional clients. It's a great business 332 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,240 strategy to host a podcast or an event to bring on clients. I know 333 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:35,040 Maria can definitely speak to that. But you're also now 334 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,680 you're in a position for six cities to have different guests 335 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,400 to get different perspectives for your podcast. So they're 336 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,120 capping off this tour at each stop with a recording 337 00:20:46,120 --> 00:20:49,400 podcast, but you're going back to that business strategy. 338 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,520 Have you ever seen businesses Maria, use podcasts to 339 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:57,320 generate new clients? Yeah, a couple of times. Yeah. I mean, 340 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,890 as you know, I mean that's kind of one of the things that I've, I've 341 00:21:00,890 --> 00:21:04,410 done like not, not directly like this as much, 342 00:21:04,410 --> 00:21:08,050 but like, definitely that is kind of one of our focuses. But 343 00:21:08,530 --> 00:21:12,370 you know, it also I really like that they're pulling everything 344 00:21:12,530 --> 00:21:16,130 into kind of, I hate to say like a happy Meal because I'm like 345 00:21:16,450 --> 00:21:20,290 very health food, but kind of that idea, right. That, you know, people 346 00:21:20,370 --> 00:21:23,850 want to be able to kind of get more out of their time. Right. If 347 00:21:23,850 --> 00:21:27,490 I'm going to go spend three hours somewhere, let's make that 348 00:21:27,490 --> 00:21:30,090 three hours count. I don't, I didn't look see how long it was. We're just 349 00:21:30,090 --> 00:21:33,630 going to pretend that it's three. But, you know, I think let's make it count. 350 00:21:33,630 --> 00:21:37,270 Right. And I like the idea that, you know, that 351 00:21:37,270 --> 00:21:40,990 they're kind of packing a lot of stuff into one time. And I'm wondering 352 00:21:41,070 --> 00:21:44,070 if we're going to start seeing more industries doing this. And honestly, I think we 353 00:21:44,070 --> 00:21:47,550 should. Right the, the bite size accessible events instead of these big 354 00:21:47,550 --> 00:21:51,310 ticket conferences. Because if you've been in the business world, like I know 355 00:21:51,310 --> 00:21:54,830 we have those conferences, I feel like I can recite 356 00:21:55,070 --> 00:21:57,950 what's going to be said. I already, I already know what's going to be said. 357 00:21:57,950 --> 00:22:01,790 I already know. Even the, you know, the, the VIP after hours that you pay 358 00:22:01,790 --> 00:22:05,410 extra for already know that as you're rubbing like basically all the 359 00:22:05,410 --> 00:22:09,210 conversations. I could probably write a script for all of that. 360 00:22:09,690 --> 00:22:12,250 And all of us know it, but we go because it's kind of like this 361 00:22:12,250 --> 00:22:16,010 expected thing or whatnot. You know, continue our education, continue our networking. So it's not 362 00:22:16,010 --> 00:22:19,130 that it's all bad. It's just become so 363 00:22:19,130 --> 00:22:22,930 monotonous that I think this would, you know, flip 364 00:22:22,930 --> 00:22:26,610 it a Little bit. Right. And again, making that a little more bite size. And 365 00:22:26,610 --> 00:22:30,370 I mean, 99 is a steal, right? Like live learning, a 366 00:22:30,370 --> 00:22:33,690 taping of it. Like, I mean, like 99 bucks is like a no brainer. 367 00:22:34,490 --> 00:22:38,130 Yeah, it's a great thing. And you mentioned conferences and 368 00:22:38,130 --> 00:22:41,570 you've seen things like this at conferences. And one of the things I've been 369 00:22:41,570 --> 00:22:44,969 noticing in the past six months since doing this podcast is 370 00:22:45,530 --> 00:22:49,090 conferences as part of their entertainment aren't just 371 00:22:49,090 --> 00:22:52,570 booking bands, aren't just bringing in like magicians and public 372 00:22:52,570 --> 00:22:55,370 speakers, some of their main stage events. 373 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,840 Our podcast from within their industry. So, you know, this is a 374 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,400 miniature version of that kind of model where your business has already 375 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,600 found its people. It's connecting through, you know, a 376 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,240 bunch of accountants in different towns. But there's probably accounting conferences, 377 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,440 and because they now have this experience, they could 378 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:19,200 start doing their shows at accounting conferences and those people 379 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,600 will pay to have you there. It's a, I think, a great strategy for a 380 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,060 podcast. No, I agree with that. You know, and I think that 381 00:23:26,540 --> 00:23:29,860 again, if you're going to be doing this work and saying all these amazing things, 382 00:23:29,860 --> 00:23:32,460 I mean, how many times? Because, I mean, I know I've done this and I'd 383 00:23:32,460 --> 00:23:35,660 say you have to. Have you been somewhere and had this, like, amazing conversation, you 384 00:23:35,660 --> 00:23:39,340 think back like, man, I wish this was recorded. That was gold. And 385 00:23:39,340 --> 00:23:43,100 so, you know, they're, they are kind of like thinking ahead on these things. Right. 386 00:23:43,100 --> 00:23:46,580 That, you know, they're wanting to kind of capture some of that 387 00:23:46,580 --> 00:23:50,140 excitement of, you know, what's going on live and being able to kind of 388 00:23:50,220 --> 00:23:53,980 share that, you know, on. On a different platform, a different 389 00:23:53,980 --> 00:23:57,650 medium. Yeah. I've also done some stories where people have just 390 00:23:57,650 --> 00:24:01,090 snuck in their podcasting equipment to their booth 391 00:24:01,250 --> 00:24:05,090 and they do a live podcast at their booth of conferences. So something 392 00:24:05,090 --> 00:24:08,770 to keep in mind, especially for businesses, there's a lot of opportunity 393 00:24:08,770 --> 00:24:12,370 out there to connect with an audience that needs what 394 00:24:12,370 --> 00:24:16,170 you're servicing and selling. Absolutely. Yeah. And I mean, 395 00:24:16,170 --> 00:24:19,890 I think the sky's the limit, you know, once, you know, we start realizing 396 00:24:20,450 --> 00:24:24,250 that, you know, a lot of this media connection is 397 00:24:24,250 --> 00:24:28,010 actually in our hands, like anybody can be a pod podcaster. They really 398 00:24:28,010 --> 00:24:31,650 can. Now, we could talk about how not necessarily everybody should be a podcaster. 399 00:24:31,650 --> 00:24:34,290 That's another story for another day. But anybody could be right. 400 00:24:35,650 --> 00:24:39,330 Absolutely. Going from the smartest people in the room to 401 00:24:39,330 --> 00:24:43,050 the smart less people in the room comes to us. This was an 402 00:24:43,050 --> 00:24:46,530 exclusive on Variety magazine and the comedy 403 00:24:46,530 --> 00:24:49,890 trio Will Arnett, Jason Bateman and Sean Hayes 404 00:24:50,410 --> 00:24:53,770 are taking Smart List to the Hollywood bowl this November, 405 00:24:54,010 --> 00:24:57,690 marking the iconic venue's first ever live podcast 406 00:24:57,690 --> 00:25:01,490 taping. With 17,500 seats, it 407 00:25:01,490 --> 00:25:04,970 could become one of the largest US audiences for a 408 00:25:04,970 --> 00:25:08,490 podcast recording. True to form, the guest lineup 409 00:25:08,490 --> 00:25:12,130 remains a surprise even to some of the hosts. But 410 00:25:12,130 --> 00:25:15,930 with past visits ranging from John Mayer to Bill Gates, 411 00:25:16,420 --> 00:25:20,140 fans can expect big names and bigger laughs. As the 412 00:25:20,140 --> 00:25:23,540 host put it, the Beatles played here, and now 413 00:25:23,620 --> 00:25:26,740 somehow, so are we. Sorry, history. 414 00:25:29,060 --> 00:25:32,339 Well, you can't go wrong with this lineup. I love all of them, and 415 00:25:32,660 --> 00:25:36,260 I can imagine how funny, you know, this show will just be. 416 00:25:37,220 --> 00:25:41,020 It's. It's interesting. Just again, we 417 00:25:41,020 --> 00:25:44,540 were talking about earlier about how, you know, one of the perks of 418 00:25:44,540 --> 00:25:47,700 podcasting is that it is. It is niche, you know, 419 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:52,040 but I think this kind of flips that to say, you know, 420 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,840 it really actually starts to show how big podcasting really has become, 421 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,200 because it's not only just niche anymore, it's not only 422 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,560 just the small creators anymore that people are literally buying 423 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:07,000 concert tickets to watch people talk on stage. You know, 424 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,480 it's. I mean, and. And banter back and forth with each other that it's not 425 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,040 like, you know, just this, like, scripted, curated stuff 426 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,830 anymore. I. I don't know. I find that interesting and intriguing. Yeah, 427 00:26:17,830 --> 00:26:21,430 it's incredible how especially post Covid comedians and 428 00:26:21,430 --> 00:26:25,070 actors, people already have a base. They're now filling 429 00:26:25,070 --> 00:26:28,790 up theaters and arenas and in these large places, 430 00:26:28,790 --> 00:26:32,350 which tells us that this is something that the public is 431 00:26:32,350 --> 00:26:36,110 doing. The public is going to see these live events, but 432 00:26:36,830 --> 00:26:40,670 99% of podcasters aren't filling arenas. They 433 00:26:40,670 --> 00:26:44,280 don't have that type of audience. What is the middle ground between 434 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,240 recording in your home studio and recording at Madison Square 435 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:52,080 Garden? And I think places like, you see that I'm sitting in now, and places 436 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,080 around Maria, they're doing live podcasts for 437 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:59,160 smaller, independent audiences, and it's happening. So 438 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,800 that's what the purpose of this podcast is, to show you this is a 439 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,640 viable way to podcast for most people. 440 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,920 Absolutely. Well, and I love that the guest is a surprise. I think that 441 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,360 adds kind of a cool element. Like, you know, you could get like, John Mayer, 442 00:27:13,360 --> 00:27:16,580 or you could get like, Bill Gates, or you get, like, someone's weird neighbor. 443 00:27:16,820 --> 00:27:20,660 It's. It's kind of chaotic, and I kind of like it there. 444 00:27:20,660 --> 00:27:24,340 There was a documentary they did. They've. They've done tours before. They did 445 00:27:24,340 --> 00:27:27,540 one two or three years ago, might be on Hulu, and 446 00:27:27,940 --> 00:27:31,620 they had like. Like two great shows. And then like, the 447 00:27:31,620 --> 00:27:35,460 third guest was Like a scientist that the audience didn't know. 448 00:27:36,020 --> 00:27:39,620 And in that moment, you can see the audience just turn 449 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:44,320 on them. They were walking out. They were disappointed. They wanted their 450 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:48,120 money back, so they did. I mean, they are three A 451 00:27:48,120 --> 00:27:51,920 level celebrities. These three. Yeah. And people who go to see 452 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,760 them expect A level celebrities. Not that a scientist isn't. But 453 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:59,480 in America, you know, we want to see the Arnold Schwarzeneggers, and I. 454 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,840 Don'T know, I would want to see the scientists, but Maria's a closet nerd. I 455 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,320 really am. So you would have stayed? I would be there with my. With my 456 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:10,100 secret microscope. I'd be like, yes, I really have a microscope and goggles, 457 00:28:10,260 --> 00:28:13,900 so I would be there for it. But no, I. I also, 458 00:28:13,900 --> 00:28:16,380 like, I don't remember what you said. I don't have it in front of me, 459 00:28:16,380 --> 00:28:19,460 but what was the line like? Sorry, history or something like that. 460 00:28:21,300 --> 00:28:24,420 The Beatles played here, and now somehow, so are we. 461 00:28:25,220 --> 00:28:28,740 Sorry. That sounds like a Will Arnett quote. I know. 462 00:28:28,740 --> 00:28:32,460 It's so funny. Like, I mean, that line's perfect. Like the Beatles walk. So Bateman 463 00:28:32,460 --> 00:28:36,220 could ramble. You know, I just find that. I 464 00:28:36,220 --> 00:28:38,540 find that perfect. Like, that should be like a shirt. I would. I would buy 465 00:28:38,540 --> 00:28:42,390 that shirt. From smartless to shameless, 466 00:28:42,870 --> 00:28:46,430 Shameless plugs.

This one's 475 00:29:14,690 --> 00:29:18,530 a plug for me, obviously, And I've done seven of these now. We 476 00:29:18,530 --> 00:29:22,330 get about 20, 25 people per event. We have a good time. We spend 477 00:29:22,330 --> 00:29:25,890 an hour networking, eating pizza, drinks, and then 478 00:29:25,890 --> 00:29:29,690 an hour to two hours of answering questions. You can submit questions. 479 00:29:29,690 --> 00:29:33,380 You'll be able to do that live on Saturday, October 4th. 480 00:29:33,700 --> 00:29:37,380 Maria's been here for a different type of event, Poduty Fest, 481 00:29:38,020 --> 00:29:41,780 which you. You got to at least experience the stage 482 00:29:41,780 --> 00:29:45,500 and the environment in here. It's amazing. Yeah, it really is amazing. Like, and 483 00:29:45,500 --> 00:29:48,980 I. And I love that. The. The whole meetup concept, because, 484 00:29:49,460 --> 00:29:53,180 I mean, it's. Well, number one, I'm sure you get a lot of people just 485 00:29:53,180 --> 00:29:56,420 because, like, I mean, who doesn't love pizza? But, 486 00:29:56,820 --> 00:30:00,600 you know, other than that, like, they're able to kind of get that, 487 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,600 that you know, face to face networking. Because you're not going to get that kind 488 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,400 of support just in like a Facebook group. It's hard to, you know, do that. 489 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:10,080 I mean, I'm not downing. Facebook groups are great, but that face to 490 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,400 face is, you know, huge. I wonder if anybody's gonna be brave enough to ask 491 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:17,200 like some spicy questions, though. Like, like, like, I'm only getting like 492 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,480 two downloads. How do I make it better? You know, something like that. Oh, yeah, 493 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,720 we get some good ones. I like to, like, 494 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:28,200 I would prefer to start with like the basics, but I. Almost every 495 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,680 single time the first question is, how do I make money? Like, how do I 496 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:35,200 get sponsors? How do I get some money? How do I do a solid. Yeah, 497 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:39,000 no, I mean, and I think that's an important thing. Like, there's nothing wrong with 498 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,800 that. Like, I always tell people there's more than one way of obviously monetizing a 499 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:46,400 podcast there. And, you know, I think that's a, 500 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:50,000 that's a big part because at very bare minimum, I really think that every 501 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,810 podcast should at least like, like, recoup what they're 502 00:30:53,810 --> 00:30:57,490 spending on the podcast. Right. Even if it's not like a direct money making strategy 503 00:30:57,490 --> 00:31:00,930 that you have. But no, I mean, I think those are realistic questions. And I 504 00:31:00,930 --> 00:31:04,650 love that it's small, it's accessible, you know, there's in person, 505 00:31:05,050 --> 00:31:08,729 you know, and again, kind of going off of what we were saying, even with 506 00:31:08,729 --> 00:31:12,170 the accounting thing, like, it's not this big, 507 00:31:12,170 --> 00:31:15,970 huge, you know, conference. It's, you know, 508 00:31:15,970 --> 00:31:19,680 personalized. It's small, it's bite sized. Yeah, it's 509 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:23,320 about podcasting. It's about helping podcasters get 510 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,840 started. And I would say 65, 70% of the attendees 511 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:31,120 are just dipping their toes in the water. They're just trying to 512 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,640 figure out what a podcast is. Things have changed so much the 513 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,360 definition of a podcast in the last five years that I think people are confused 514 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:42,200 between video and audio. And is YouTube a podcast? And yeah, 515 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,980 there's a lot of people who are curious. They just don't know where to 516 00:31:45,980 --> 00:31:49,660 go or where to start or how to get started. So events like this, they 517 00:31:49,660 --> 00:31:53,140 happen all over the country. I'm not the only one doing podcast meetups. 518 00:31:53,460 --> 00:31:57,300 PodFest does them all over the country. Take a 519 00:31:57,300 --> 00:32:01,140 look. There's probably something happening in your local neighborhood. Go to a 520 00:32:01,140 --> 00:32:04,700 meetup. Meet 10 to 20 podcasters. You'll be so 521 00:32:04,700 --> 00:32:08,100 excited that you made these connections because you'll realize, oh, my 522 00:32:08,100 --> 00:32:11,860 goodness, they all have the same questions. I Have they 523 00:32:11,860 --> 00:32:15,620 all have the same hang ups I have. And you can start to bring 524 00:32:15,620 --> 00:32:19,220 these brains together and solve these problems and build off it? 525 00:32:19,700 --> 00:32:23,340 Absolutely. Well, I mean, and there's literally no 526 00:32:23,340 --> 00:32:27,100 excuse. It's free. Free tickets. Free tickets, free carbs. I mean, 527 00:32:27,100 --> 00:32:29,380 where did you, where are you going to go wrong? That's right. 528 00:32:30,660 --> 00:32:34,340 Surprisingly, Little Caesars is the most popular pizza that I ordered. 529 00:32:34,660 --> 00:32:37,860 I've done foxes and J and S. I've done local places. 530 00:32:38,260 --> 00:32:42,020 But for some reason, people go crazy over Little Caesar. So if you're listening, Little 531 00:32:42,020 --> 00:32:45,560 Caesars, don't be afraid to send some pies our way 532 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:49,000 October 4th. And you can. I'll throw in for Little 533 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,800 Caesars only. This is the Little Caesars ten dollar a shirt 534 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,280 special. We just got new Poduty shirts in four colors, 535 00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:00,280 five sizes, small through double X. I'm doing them 536 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,920 for 10 bucks through the end of the month. Let's try it out. Let's see 537 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,160 if we can get some patootie on the street. Oh, wait, I got one more 538 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,920 story and then we're gonna go. Let's go to Maria first. Maria, 539 00:33:11,450 --> 00:33:14,970 obviously I'm always so grateful that you're able to join me. 540 00:33:15,130 --> 00:33:18,170 I'm glad that I moved at the 10am that's more your time slot. So I 541 00:33:18,170 --> 00:33:21,370 might, we might get to have you grace our presence more often. 542 00:33:21,770 --> 00:33:25,610 But Maria, tell us about your podcast, your local business and 543 00:33:25,770 --> 00:33:29,610 some of the things that you're doing around the area, not just in podcasting, but, 544 00:33:29,690 --> 00:33:33,290 you know, what's new with Maria? Well, my main 545 00:33:33,290 --> 00:33:36,990 podcast is successfully chaotic and, and honestly, like we, 546 00:33:36,990 --> 00:33:40,790 I was even talking to you this before we went live. Like, I'm in the 547 00:33:40,790 --> 00:33:44,550 process of kind of like changing some of the format that I'm doing just because, 548 00:33:45,510 --> 00:33:48,510 well, number one, I'm wanting to kind of touch things from a different level. But 549 00:33:48,510 --> 00:33:52,030 number two, I've got a couple of people that are wanting to come on board 550 00:33:52,030 --> 00:33:54,470 and kind of do the podcast with me. I got really huge and I got 551 00:33:54,470 --> 00:33:57,950 really weird because I can see myself, but that's fine. So anyway, yeah, 552 00:33:57,950 --> 00:34:01,630 successfully Chaotic is my primary show. We talk. It's kind of that behind the 553 00:34:01,630 --> 00:34:05,350 scenes. I, I do own several small businesses. I'm a mom, 554 00:34:05,350 --> 00:34:08,970 I'm a wife. You know, I got toes dipped in a couple of different areas. 555 00:34:09,130 --> 00:34:12,970 And one of the reasons for doing that show is just kind of 556 00:34:12,970 --> 00:34:16,770 to talk about that, that balance between, you know, 557 00:34:16,770 --> 00:34:20,410 business ownership and real life. It's that peek behind the curtain. It's that real, 558 00:34:20,890 --> 00:34:24,610 you know, connection because, you know, I At the time before 559 00:34:24,610 --> 00:34:28,010 I started my show, I was getting a whole lot of, you know, 560 00:34:28,410 --> 00:34:31,810 shows that I was listening to or, you know, people that I were following that. 561 00:34:31,810 --> 00:34:34,650 It just. I felt like they were just, like, walking on clouds of awesomeness all 562 00:34:34,650 --> 00:34:37,090 the time. Like, they never had any problems. And I'm like, oh, my God. Because 563 00:34:37,090 --> 00:34:40,469 I felt like my whole life was a giant, giant dumpster fire all the time. 564 00:34:40,469 --> 00:34:44,029 And so when I decided to start the show, it wasn't to say that business 565 00:34:44,029 --> 00:34:47,709 can't be great, life can't be wonderful, because it definitely can be. But 566 00:34:47,709 --> 00:34:51,549 it's to say that it's not perfect and, you know, and that's okay. Perfection's 567 00:34:51,549 --> 00:34:55,309 not the goal. That real raw, messy, that's. That's real 568 00:34:55,309 --> 00:34:59,149 life. And so my. My thing was to try to showcase all sides of that 569 00:34:59,149 --> 00:35:02,629 and be able to kind of give people tips. Not that I'm perfect or, 570 00:35:02,789 --> 00:35:06,509 you know, an expert in everything, but the tips on things that I've learned 571 00:35:06,509 --> 00:35:10,309 that's helped me along the way and that real world, look into it. To say, 572 00:35:10,309 --> 00:35:12,850 like, yeah, you' going to fall in your face, like, probably a lot. And if 573 00:35:12,850 --> 00:35:15,730 you're like me, you're going to fake quit like once or twice a week, but 574 00:35:15,730 --> 00:35:18,410 you're going to kind of stand up and go, okay, well, this worked really well. 575 00:35:18,410 --> 00:35:21,050 Let me do some more of that. And so that's kind of. Kind of the 576 00:35:21,050 --> 00:35:24,570 idea behind the show I mentioned. I do have several small businesses. 577 00:35:24,570 --> 00:35:28,250 I have a marketing consulting company. I own a 578 00:35:28,250 --> 00:35:30,850 coffee shop and a few other things too. So, 579 00:35:31,650 --> 00:35:35,490 yeah, I'm happy to be here. And I always love doing anything with 580 00:35:35,570 --> 00:35:38,890 old Jeffers. And I do want a patootie shirt, so I'll buy one of those 581 00:35:38,890 --> 00:35:42,710 from you. Coupon code. I have a stack of 582 00:35:42,710 --> 00:35:46,350 them ready to hand to you.

We should make Phil get one too, since he didn't show up today. 587 00:36:02,230 --> 00:36:05,310 So everybody tag Phil and time to get up a duty shirt. 588 00:36:06,340 --> 00:36:09,060 He's got to cover international shipping.
