(00:32):
ready or not, unpack your imaginations and get ready to
rumble through the universe that we are so so lucky
to live in. We are the stars. Okay, yeah, I'd

please come see my play The Oh My God Particle
Show running from August seconds to twenty seven, except August fifteenth.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
At Gilded Balloons at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival twenty twenty three.
I'm going to be posting all the information on my
Instagram at Dalli wild Official. Stay tuned for more details
about more OMGPS live theater shows in London, Geneva, New
York City, La outer Space, Who Knows.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Thank you for all your support. Hi, I'm Dahlia Wild.
Welcome to the Oh My God Particle Show. Thank you
so much for being here. It means so much to
me that you're tuning in so right now, I'm preparing
to take my live theater version of the OMGPS show
on the road to the Edinburgh Festival in Scotland. My
(01:45):
show is going to run August second to twenty seventh,
twenty twenty three. I'm going to do twenty five live
performances with the amazing support of mcparrin Worldwide and Gilded Balloon.
There are so many helping hands that have come together
to make this live show happen. There are a lot
of moving parts when you perform a live theatrical show overseas,
(02:10):
just like launching a podcast season for the first time.
So I decided to reach out to my incredible iHeart mentor,
Samantha Wilson at the Black Effect podcast Network for a
little sister to Sister talk. She's been such a great
mentor ever since I first arrived at iHeart. She's the
(02:30):
producer of the incredibly successful Charlemagne the God daily breakfast
radio show, which is also a podcast and now a
daily television show on BET. I really recommend you check
it out. Samantha's gonna blow your mind because she gets
up every day at two thirty in the morning to
(02:52):
arrive at the Charlemagne the God radio show studios in
New York City by four fifteen AM. And she shows
up with a smile. She's gonna tell you some of
the amazing things that she's conquered that would make any
of us. Get right back under the covers and stay
in bed permanently. Okay, let's talk to my favorite, Samantha Wilson.
(03:14):
Get ready to be inspired. You're the best mentor ever
and you're the awesome producer at iHeart right at Charlemagne
the God at You do the podcast, the radio show,
and now the TV show.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Yes, it's very exciting.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Tell me how so you do the Breakfast Show podcast
which is also simultaneously broadcast as a radio show and
then turned into a TV show. How does it work?
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Well, The Breakfast Club is originally a terrestrial radio show,
unlike FM radio, so it started as a radio show
and then as podcasting got popular, it just made sense
to make it available on podcasts as well. So once
the show was done, they feed the whole show onto
a podcast, and then we just signed a deal with
(04:05):
b ET, So now we are also a TV show.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
And how did they make the TV show. It goes
out at nine o'clock am every day like across the
whole country.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Yes, so our show is live of live radio and
it's from six to ten and then be et and
they're amazing, very fast editors take the best of our
four hour show and they turn it into a one
hour TV show.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
For that day or the next same day. My god,
that's huge. And so and then what do you do?
So you get up at two thirty. We won't tell
people where you commute from, but you tell me that
you're taking ubers at like four in the morning.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Yeah, so I wake up.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
I wake up at two thirty in the morning so
I can catch my train then from the train station
because everyone has begged me to stop taking the subway
because it's not safe at that hour, or there's a
subway safe.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
At any hour these days anymore.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
But family and friends have begged me to stop taking
the subway at four o'clock in the morning, three thirty
in the morning.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
So now I uber from the major train station.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
To my job, and I get to work at like
four or fifteen in the morning, and I start doing
my prep to make sure things for the radio side
are good.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Things for the TV side are.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Good, and then once everyone starts showing up and the
MIC's go up, it's pure chaos.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
You're amazing. You're like having your own like Good Morning America.
You're running the whole operation over there, and you always
with a smile, or at four fifteen in the morning,
you need a couple more cups of coffee? Are you
as nice to them as you.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Are to me?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
All?
Speaker 4 (05:51):
I do my absolute best because even I believe in
not having bad days. You might have a bad moment,
but that doesn't define the whole day. And I'm also
a firm believer in not being mean or nasty to
people who didn't put me in a bad mood or
who didn't harm me. So even if one thing has
upset me, it's not the fault of everyone around me.
(06:13):
So if I woke up and I feel groggy or
tired that day when I get to work, it's not
my coworker's fault I'm sleepy. So I try to still
agree everybody with the smile and do my best.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
You're amazing. How and how long have you been at iHeart.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
I've been at iHeart technically starting from my internship since
twenty eighteen, I started with Elvis Duran in the morning
show on the one hundred and then in twenty nineteen
I transferred to the Breakfast Club, which is on Power
one of five point one.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Were you even a legal working age when you were intern?
Speaker 3 (06:49):
You're so young, I was. I was actually a super
old intern.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
All the other interns were like nineteen and I was
like twenty five.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
He was so young, and you have such a young
positive attitude. So how do you stay motivated? Because you
have a great personality, You're very talented. You just floated
in there and they knew they had to have you.
But did you did you have a run up against
any challenges? Because that part of the message of the
Oh My God Particle Show podcast is to really well
(07:20):
help everyone just keep creating, keep moving forward, staying focused,
you know, not to get discouraged by people who say
you can't do it, so that the extraordinary of like
being a genius podcast, radio, TV person like you is
it becomes normal. Right, But how how did you keep going?
You just delusional?
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Are you?
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Well? You have a really good family, don't you.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Yes, it might be a little bit of delusion maybe,
but I think I don't want to sound cliche, but
I really deeply, genuinely love what I do, love my job,
so it doesn't really seem hard like of course, there
are some days where you don't want to be there,
(08:08):
or it's just like every other thing in life.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Not every day is going to.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Be amazing, But just the fact that I'm really passionate
about what I do makes it a lot easier for
me to do the hard parts. And then, as you know,
because I know you asked if I had, you know,
any obstacles, I've told you before that I am a
cancer survivor and that was very hard to do, to
(08:34):
be in the media industry while battling cancer.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
You're just phenomenal, and I wanted I didn't want anyone
to know that you're, especially your doctors, that you're getting
up at two thirty in the morning. So that's on you.
You mentioned it.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
I'm sure my doctors will not be happy to know
that I'm waking up to thirty in the morning.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
We need to send you a limo or something. When
did you get sick? And when I met you you
were at home?
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Right?
Speaker 1 (09:00):
When was this last year when I won the Next
Great Female Podcaster? Thanks to you, I've become one. That
was April twenty two, and you were so sly. I
didn't even know you were. You were just like in
your bedroom, like going through so much. She was so
and now you're gonna make me cry. You're just it's
such an inspiration. And you were so quiet, you never
(09:22):
made one peep like felt sorry for yourself or you know,
so thank you for being just phenomenal. And I do
shout out. Is that what we do when you do
that on the Breakfast show? Shout out to all her,
all the people in the hospitals, right, all the great
caretakers who oh, and they can't send you a limo
(09:42):
every day to get you to work, but.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I would love that. How wouldn't you deserve that?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I think you could have your own show. You have
such a super nice nature, so you had no obstacles
because you're an angel. You just floated and they said,
here's a job. Okay, don't go to sleep ever, but
you're great.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I mean, I think everybody has obstacles, and even if
we can't relate to each other's obstacles, everyone experienced obstacles
on their own scale of what they can and cannot handle.
And I just think I'm really big on what I
said before is just kind of staying positive. And I
know there's this new term called toxic positivity. I don't
(10:24):
advocate for that. I do want people to feel their
feelings and be in tune with how they feel, but
also know that, like I said, you don't have bad days.
You have bad moments, and sometimes the bad moments might
happen very often back to back, like getting a cancer
diagnosis and having to do all those things in the
(10:47):
middle of what seemed to be the peak of my career,
and you.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Kind of just have to I'm jumping all over the place,
but what I say is that you're perfect.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Sad or sulking or being angry never changes the situation
that you're in.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
You're just so good. I'm an you know Will Pearson,
president of your Boss, right, is that president of iHeart
podcast Network is on episode one, so awesome. We might
have him come back in and then, but I think
I need to tell him since I have so much
influence now no that you would be so you're I
think we really need to hear more from you because
(11:27):
you're just so inspiring, and that's who I want to hear,
you know, people who've gone through things and they keep going.
And because yeah, we can get frazzled about delivering a
podcast episode, but truthfully, does anyone care if we just
play the same one as last week?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Probably? I assure you someone will.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Here, But you know what I mean, it's a brain surgery.
But I try to remind myself because I was getting
a little stressed out because my the play, Oh my God,
Particle show Play is going to England for a full run.
I you know Eddie Hazard, one of my favorite I
think he well, he's now Susie. Eddie Izard is the
(12:08):
best one person show performer. And this producer also discovered
Trevor Noah in South Africa, so he took on my
show and they're gonna do a full run at the
Edinburgh Festival. We're gonna try. That's why I sent you
the poster.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
With which was beautiful by the way.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Isn't it. Lewis at McLeod at a open agency in
London did the most beautiful job in twenty four hours.
And then all the people at Mick Perrin worldwide. Those
are my producers of the live theater show, which I
still absolutely love live theater. And then so Mick and
Rubin and Harry. There's all these great guys. And but
(12:48):
I was gonna ask you because we that was really
cool when you said we should put in every podcast
episode to shout out for that show. But you have
twenty million downloads a week or something. I mean, here
a a monster show. But how so how do you
translate the podcast to the live show? Because I know
Will Pearson, he said to me sometimes when the podcast
(13:10):
hosts go to the live shows that all the listeners
they feel like they know them, or is there something
that you do different when I know yours isn't like
theater like mine. But hopefully it will gain some traction
and some synchronicity between the podcast is launching on a
May thirty first and everyone, and then it's gonna go
(13:32):
all the way. And thanks to Paul Mercier is so
talented and fun to work with. We love like shaping
the sound and making quirky things. And we have a
lady scientists, right the lady scientists breaking through the space
time continuum, trying to make it fun. But I was wondering,
what if you had any since you are so brilliant
(13:52):
and you know everything, what could you do for the
live events, what should I do? And also because you
did your Black Effect Cass Festival, what went on there? Like, yeah, people,
Well Charlemagne's just massive, right, But what is the other
shows you have?
Speaker 4 (14:07):
They we had the eighty five South Show, we had
Horrible Decisions, We had Checking In with Michelle Williams and
she collaborated with reasonably Shady Ladies. We had a few
different shows. I'm drawing a blank as well, but we
had so many and we had so much going on.
(14:30):
It was such a great time. But to answer your question,
I think the main thing is just creating an experience
because the listeners of podcasts and radio when all these
personality driven things, they really do feel like they know you,
and they start to build almost a relationship with the
person that they're listening to consistently. And I always knew well,
(14:54):
I always heard when I was going to school and
learning about radio. At the best hosts made the listen
or feel like they were friends. It was very personal,
and I think live shows give you the opportunity to
take that to the next level because now you're actually
in person. So I think interactive stuff is always great,
especially with you and the podcast and most of your
(15:17):
stuff surrounding science. There's so many ways that.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
You can take it.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Like there's this place that where I'm from, and it's
kind of like a date night place that people go.
So I'm stepping outside of podcasting, but it is probably
something that you can pull and turn into.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Your own thing.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
But they do science experiments and it's just like a
room full of strangers and they come in and they
do science experiments together and they have drinks and it's
really really fun and it's really popular here because it's
such a wild concept, but it's really enjoyable because even
(15:57):
your average person who is not a super genius mad scientists,
science is interesting. So when you start letting people come
from a long day of work and mixed chemicals and
together and mix things, that glowe.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Yeah. So I think that a great idea.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Yeah, if you introduced something like that in your live podcast,
where people in the audience have the opportunity to do
very simple science experiments together. When I went to that place,
we did simple stuff like you know when you were
in third grade and you did the volcano and you
did the taking.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
And vinegar and then erupted.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
But it's just that that kiddish kind of spirit that
you add just makes it really fun. And now you're
allowing people to interact with not just you, but the
other people in the room and.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Just opening your mind. Yeah, thats because that's really important
to me to make science fun and show that it's art,
and that's why we have. We did a great interview
the Queen guitarist Brian May, physicist. He wrote a book
with Chris Linn Tadt and kind of Wake for their astrophysicists.
And Chris runs a show on the BBC called This
(17:07):
Guy at Night. But they especially when you hear this
Hannah wake for like just blowing your mind but so simple.
A lot of them say they're no dumb questions. So
we liked just that anybody could think, just so you
could explore and imagine and create. Going forward, And where
did you so? What kind of school did you go
to to do what you do? You went to a
(17:28):
radio school.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Well, I think you would love to know that.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
When I first started college, I was a science major.
I don't remember if I told you that, and then
I ended up dropping out because I only did it because,
like I said before, science is really cool. And then
I realized I couldn't do it for a living because
I'm not actually going to be a good scientist.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
I was just interested in it.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
So I dropped out and then I just went to
school for mass communications with a specialist in the media.
And when I started school, I thought that I wanted
to be the person in the forefront.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
I wanted to be the star.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
And the longer I was in school and the more
I saw what was required of the people who are
in the forefront, I wanted to run and screen. But
then when I saw all the amazing jobs in the
background that we can do, and we can still be
a part of the conversation that people have on a
broad scale, and you can still contribute to the narrative
(18:31):
and the things that people are saying on a large scale,
except you get to go to the supermarket and nobody
recognizes you. That's when I realized I found a home
behind the scene.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
You have this great way of evaluating Oh, Situ, thank you.
I'm really smart, because first of all, I think you'd
be a great scientist. Just the way you figured out
how things work. I mean, that's brilliant. That's if we
can inspire people to do that. But I absolutely agree
with you, because when you were talking, I felt like
you were a NASA control system, like you could put
(19:04):
a rocket in space because you and we people forget,
don't they, with this whole obsession about the front person
y is uh, they forget all the work of that
goes into and that it is kind of scientific, right
and detailed what you have to do and all the
things you all the balls you have to keep in
(19:24):
the air and keep everything going, and all the personalities.
But I am just like, I really appreciate that I
met you and how supportive you were, because remember last April,
I was just had been in my closet like two years, right,
recording voiceovers. And I think you'll also see that. Will
(19:46):
talked about that too, how people when baby podcasters, they
get the first episode out and then the difference that
they see like by the tenth or the one hundredth episode.
So and just yeah, Paul has been awesome.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Yes, if Paul Paul was responsible for the production on
the first two episodes that she sent me, he is incredible.
And that is what allows me to come in here
and not be nervous to talk on because I know
he'll make us sound really nice, and he's done.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
So our eight episodes, and we're gonna rope him into
doing the sound design for the theater. We're gonna I'm
saying this, so now you're gonna have to do it
and all the other seasons that we're doing, all the
other shows. And why I point you out, Paul, is
that because this is these people like Will and this
other guy Chris on the podcast, and Mark, my mentor
(20:36):
from CERN and John, and like, I know, we started
out this woman's initiative, but I think it's now exciting
that we can all work side by side and create
great things together. And we definitely need people like Paul
who support us and encourage us. And I never heard
him say, you knucklehead podcast host? What are you doing? No,
(20:57):
So I really have learned so much on this whole procedure.
So what do you have a vacation? That's what I
would like to know. And do you sleep on the weekend?
Speaker 3 (21:07):
I do sleep on the weekends. I sleep a lot.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
And my guilty pleasure on the weekends is fine dining,
and my excuse is always I work hard, so I
never feel bad about the bill that comes when I'm
done eating on the weekend, and what kind.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Of food do you like? In case we send you
a takeout order, what kind of food do you like best?
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Well, I love really anything. I'm like.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Very greedy, and I appreciate most cuisines because another fun fact,
when I was in high school, when I was preparing
to go to college, I wanted to be a chef.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
So I used to watch.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
Cooking shows all day every day, and I would go
in the kitchen and try to recreate all the recipes
I saw that week and so I just loved everything.
But on the weekend, I was doing steakhouses. But now
I'm trying to cut back on eating so much red
meat and being healthier.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
So I'm exploring new things.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
I'm doing Italian this weekend, and I mean, I can't
say I'm exploring Italian for the first time, but I'm
going to a new Italian restaurant, so I'm excited because
it's one I've never been to before.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
And do you go out where you live or do
you go in the city like Manhattan?
Speaker 4 (22:25):
I go out in the city more. And now that
the weather in New York is getting better, and.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Are people starting to go out to dinner in New
York it's everything as expensive as it is here in LA.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
It's definitely expensive, especially the area that I work in
because I work not too far from Times Square, So
everywhere in that vicinity is super expensive because they know
that it's going to be full of tourists who don't
know better, or they're just so excited that they're going
to pay it anyway. And then for us regular folks
who go there every single day, we just have to
(22:58):
cry and pay ten thousand dollars for our lunch. But yeah,
it's the surprising thing is New York people are going
out and being around each other, but we still didn't
fully recover from the pandemic, so we're not the city
that never sleeps anymore. It's almost kind of disheartening when
(23:20):
you drive, especially like I said, I get to work
at about four or fifteen in the morning, and once
upon a time, if you drove through New York City
at that time, especially the Times Square area, there were
people everywhere and all everything was still open and you
had options to go anywhere. And now it's so desolate
and it's quiet, and really there's not many things that
(23:41):
are open late anymore. It's still getting used to because
now that we're.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
A restaurant, the Semantha a long term Okay, I'm gonna
have everything that you cook because.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Yeah, I know, I will definitely host you as my
opening night.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
See that. Why don't you go come to England to
Edinburgh Festival and to see my play and then you
can go on the Master Chef or something. The Great
British Bakeoff, my producer actually produced. She's eighty three years old.
Pro Leath one of the most of the Great British Bakeoff.
She did a one woman show and a tour all
(24:21):
over the United Kingdom. So I guess we can't go
retire yet. But I have no doubt You're good everything
you put your mind to you. Oh, when you're talking,
I'm telling you the absolute truth. You have this beautiful
like it is almost like a angel like this quality
(24:41):
your openness, and you're so highly intelligent, but it's connected
to your heart so it doesn't come out like brainiac
stuff that we can't understand. But you I just see
like when you were young and just your curiosity, so
that that's good. We can encourage a curiosity and imagination, creativity,
right because look, you had got your dream job. Yes
(25:04):
you are making a huge difference. So super congratulations, Thank you,
and I hope you get to sleep tonight.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
I absolutely will. I don't know if you noticed, but
I'm not in the office. Oh I'm home early today,
so I do plan.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Yay, and tell your mother I'm gonna yeah, your mom,
I'm would you say when you creep out of the
house in the morning. They're fine with that.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
You know, it took them a lot of getting used to.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
And when I first started going to work that early,
my dad used to wake up and drive me to
the train station and make sure I got on the train,
and it was like, you don't have anywhere to be,
and he would be awake before I am, Like at
three point thirty in the morning, he's sitting in the
living room with his shoes on, waiting for me to
take me to the train.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
And I think that they have finally kind of gotten
used to it.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
I can't say they'll probably have loved the idea of
me being out there going to work and traveling by
myself at that time, because you know, parents are always
going to have that hold on their kids and want
to protect them forever.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
But they've definitely gotten used to it.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
They must be so proud of you. They whatever they did.
I know you were born your own person, but they
definitely You're just a product of all sorts of awesome things.
It's so obvious when you talk and I thank you
so much for everything you've done for me. And as
I promised, I'll make you proud, so we're going to
come around proud.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
I'm so happy to see the evolution of this podcast
because I know when we first started, you were so nervous,
and I have to say, like you said earlier, when
we met, you were like not you hadn't left your
house in so long, and you were so nervous. And
I'm so happy that you made the decision to break
out of your shell and go to Europe. And because
(26:56):
you're such an incredible human being, and I love that
you're going to share yourself with the world.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
You're the best we should. I definitely would love to
go to your restaurant and also listen to your show
and your TV show because you have so much to say.
So we'll just keep on this road of trying to,
you know, pep up the generations after us, right because
we were lucky we did have iHeart programs internships, the
(27:22):
support Seneca Women, the Great Will Pearson's and Paul Mercier.
We have. You know, there's a lot of wonderful people
that it's a small club, but we canna keep pushing forward, right, yes, okay,
Well I will be knocking you up for oh I
mean hitting you up. I'll be knocking on your door
(27:43):
so you can help blast out the trailer that Paul
and I put together and we will thank you for
your support. Well, we're gonna keep you posted so you
can't get rid of us that fast.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
So I don't you go.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Have a giant bowl apasta and get yourself into bed
by seven pm.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
I'm watching my figure Dahlia. So my dinner is a
protein shake. The pasta is for Saturday.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Oh. I met this awesome trainer who is Kobe Bryant's trainer, Marco.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
You know, the wildest people and.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
He but he he's in two weeks, taught me so
much like a functional fitness you know, how to. I
actually think we'll have him on the podcast because also
the kind of cosmetic fitness that people promote is just
so distant from what you really need to do to
walk down the street to do a live show. When
(28:34):
I do the theater show, thirty shows in thirty days,
so wish me lave.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Are you so excited about that?
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Though I'm working on it, so okay, Yes, we're gonna
knock it out of the park. You're having a protein
shake for dinner. Yes, I guess I better not have
that pizza I was planning on.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Oh, enjoy your pizza. I don't want this to make
you feel guilty. I have to.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
I have to exercise balance because sometimes at work, because
we're morning shows, a lot of places like to bring
us food, but they are not acknowledging the fact that
it's morning, so they're not bringing us breakfast.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
The other day we had like macaroni and.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Cheese and ribs, and like they send like legitimate food
and it's seven o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
And do you think any of us have the well
power to say no?
Speaker 1 (29:25):
And there's something about when you're tired, I notice that
I will really just eat with abandon. And also like
craft service tables are not like some fruit a vegetable salad. Right,
there's so many.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Right.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
The week of Sinko de Mayo, we had tacos from
different restaurants every morning. Then like three out of the
five day week. Three days out of the five day
week we had like Margarita's and Tequilas Dahlia.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
It's seven o'clock in the morning, no wonder.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
You love your job? Now we need some of that.
You're awesome, okay, but I give you full permission to
have a four course Italian meal and tiramissu and some
Chianti favorite whatever you want. You deserve all the success
and fun times and a month holiday in Italy. Are
you going to come to Europe? Didn't you say?
Speaker 5 (30:21):
Ye?
Speaker 4 (30:21):
I have been twice, but it was when I was younger,
and I want to come back as an adult. I
had plans to come to Paris in June, but I
had to change that. But I really am hoping to
be in Europe soon. I have family there. I haven't
seen them in years.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
So you're amazing. Well you have a good smoothie and
get into bed soon and get to work safely every day.
And thank you for everything you've done for me and
everyone else. I know your work spreads wide and people
just love hearing what you've created, So thank you for
being a super angel.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
You too, Bye.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
I have a good evening.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Thank you bye.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Thank you so much Samantha for always being there for
me and for being such a shining light. It's totally
full speed ahead for me. I have absolutely no excuses,
and I think there is something really important that Samantha
reminded me of. When I first met Samantha, I didn't
know that she was going through cancer treatment. Truthfully, we
(31:21):
never really know what someone else is going through unless
they tell us or we ask. She is so strong
and so gracious that really inspires me. But I also
want to give an extra shout out again to her
family and to all the medical personnel who helped heal
this beautiful woman. I wish only wonderful things for Samantha.
I'm so happy that she was cured by brilliant scientists
(31:43):
and by the love of her family, and that she
is using her thoughtful and brilliant mind to bring us
the artistry and creativity of the Charlemagne the God radio show,
podcast and television show. Don't forget to check it out.
See it's all connected. Did you know that at Cerne
using antimatter to come up with new medical innovations? Remember
(32:04):
keep looking up, stay positively charged. We are the stars. Goodbye,
for now. Adios a Rivederci, Abfaedersen, aabiento. Join us next
week for more mind blowing guests and a special surprise,
a balance seeing me and the OMGPS Show live and
in person at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Thank you for
(32:26):
being part of the OMGPS Club. It's such a pleasure
to have you here. Until next time.
Speaker 5 (32:33):

Speaker 1 (32:48):
The Oh My God Particle Show is part of Seneca
Women Podcast Network and is produced by Dahlia Wilde and iHeartRadio,
with sound designed by Paul Mercy. A
Welcome vin komen yin venido yin venu benvenutiaduti. Welcome one
and all. Thank you for joining me. I'm Gallia Wild
and this is the Oh My God Particle Show where
we talk about science and art and music and good
good good vibrations and all matters near and far. So
(00:32):
ready or not, unpack your imaginations and get ready to
rumble through the universe that we are so so lucky
to live in. We are the stars. Okay, yeah, I'd
fight try oops retch oh to live A good particle show?
What is this? Thanks for listening to my podcast and
(00:54):
please come see my play The Oh My God Particle
Show running from August seconds to twenty seven, except August fifteenth.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
At Gilded Balloons at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival twenty twenty three.
I'm going to be posting all the information on my
Instagram at Dalli wild Official. Stay tuned for more details
about more OMGPS live theater shows in London, Geneva, New
York City, La outer Space, Who Knows.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Thank you for all your support. Hi, I'm Dahlia Wild.
Welcome to the Oh My God Particle Show. Thank you
so much for being here. It means so much to
me that you're tuning in so right now, I'm preparing
to take my live theater version of the OMGPS show
on the road to the Edinburgh Festival in Scotland. My
(01:45):
show is going to run August second to twenty seventh,
twenty twenty three. I'm going to do twenty five live
performances with the amazing support of mcparrin Worldwide and Gilded Balloon.
There are so many helping hands that have come together
to make this live show happen. There are a lot
of moving parts when you perform a live theatrical show overseas,
(02:10):
just like launching a podcast season for the first time.
So I decided to reach out to my incredible iHeart mentor,
Samantha Wilson at the Black Effect podcast Network for a
little sister to Sister talk. She's been such a great
mentor ever since I first arrived at iHeart. She's the
(02:30):
producer of the incredibly successful Charlemagne the God daily breakfast
radio show, which is also a podcast and now a
daily television show on BET. I really recommend you check
it out. Samantha's gonna blow your mind because she gets
up every day at two thirty in the morning to
(02:52):
arrive at the Charlemagne the God radio show studios in
New York City by four fifteen AM. And she shows
up with a smile. She's gonna tell you some of
the amazing things that she's conquered that would make any
of us. Get right back under the covers and stay
in bed permanently. Okay, let's talk to my favorite, Samantha Wilson.
(03:14):
Get ready to be inspired. You're the best mentor ever
and you're the awesome producer at iHeart right at Charlemagne
the God at You do the podcast, the radio show,
and now the TV show.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Yes, it's very exciting.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Tell me how so you do the Breakfast Show podcast
which is also simultaneously broadcast as a radio show and
then turned into a TV show. How does it work?
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Well, The Breakfast Club is originally a terrestrial radio show,
unlike FM radio, so it started as a radio show
and then as podcasting got popular, it just made sense
to make it available on podcasts as well. So once
the show was done, they feed the whole show onto
a podcast, and then we just signed a deal with
(04:05):
b ET, So now we are also a TV show.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
And how did they make the TV show. It goes
out at nine o'clock am every day like across the
whole country.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Yes, so our show is live of live radio and
it's from six to ten and then be et and
they're amazing, very fast editors take the best of our
four hour show and they turn it into a one
hour TV show.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
For that day or the next same day. My god,
that's huge. And so and then what do you do?
So you get up at two thirty. We won't tell
people where you commute from, but you tell me that
you're taking ubers at like four in the morning.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Yeah, so I wake up.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
I wake up at two thirty in the morning so
I can catch my train then from the train station
because everyone has begged me to stop taking the subway
because it's not safe at that hour, or there's a
subway safe.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
At any hour these days anymore.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
But family and friends have begged me to stop taking
the subway at four o'clock in the morning, three thirty
in the morning.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
So now I uber from the major train station.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
To my job, and I get to work at like
four or fifteen in the morning, and I start doing
my prep to make sure things for the radio side
are good.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Things for the TV side are.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Good, and then once everyone starts showing up and the
MIC's go up, it's pure chaos.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
You're amazing. You're like having your own like Good Morning America.
You're running the whole operation over there, and you always
with a smile, or at four fifteen in the morning,
you need a couple more cups of coffee? Are you
as nice to them as you.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Are to me?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
All?
Speaker 4 (05:51):
I do my absolute best because even I believe in
not having bad days. You might have a bad moment,
but that doesn't define the whole day. And I'm also
a firm believer in not being mean or nasty to
people who didn't put me in a bad mood or
who didn't harm me. So even if one thing has
upset me, it's not the fault of everyone around me.
(06:13):
So if I woke up and I feel groggy or
tired that day when I get to work, it's not
my coworker's fault I'm sleepy. So I try to still
agree everybody with the smile and do my best.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
You're amazing. How and how long have you been at iHeart.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
I've been at iHeart technically starting from my internship since
twenty eighteen, I started with Elvis Duran in the morning
show on the one hundred and then in twenty nineteen
I transferred to the Breakfast Club, which is on Power
one of five point one.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Were you even a legal working age when you were intern?
Speaker 3 (06:49):
You're so young, I was. I was actually a super
old intern.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
All the other interns were like nineteen and I was
like twenty five.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
He was so young, and you have such a young
positive attitude. So how do you stay motivated? Because you
have a great personality, You're very talented. You just floated
in there and they knew they had to have you.
But did you did you have a run up against
any challenges? Because that part of the message of the
Oh My God Particle Show podcast is to really well
(07:20):
help everyone just keep creating, keep moving forward, staying focused,
you know, not to get discouraged by people who say
you can't do it, so that the extraordinary of like
being a genius podcast, radio, TV person like you is
it becomes normal. Right, But how how did you keep going?
You just delusional?
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Are you?
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Well? You have a really good family, don't you.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Yes, it might be a little bit of delusion maybe,
but I think I don't want to sound cliche, but
I really deeply, genuinely love what I do, love my job,
so it doesn't really seem hard like of course, there
are some days where you don't want to be there,
(08:08):
or it's just like every other thing in life.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Not every day is going to.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Be amazing, But just the fact that I'm really passionate
about what I do makes it a lot easier for
me to do the hard parts. And then, as you know,
because I know you asked if I had, you know,
any obstacles, I've told you before that I am a
cancer survivor and that was very hard to do, to
(08:34):
be in the media industry while battling cancer.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
You're just phenomenal, and I wanted I didn't want anyone
to know that you're, especially your doctors, that you're getting
up at two thirty in the morning. So that's on you.
You mentioned it.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
I'm sure my doctors will not be happy to know
that I'm waking up to thirty in the morning.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
We need to send you a limo or something. When
did you get sick? And when I met you you
were at home?
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Right?
Speaker 1 (09:00):
When was this last year when I won the Next
Great Female Podcaster? Thanks to you, I've become one. That
was April twenty two, and you were so sly. I
didn't even know you were. You were just like in
your bedroom, like going through so much. She was so
and now you're gonna make me cry. You're just it's
such an inspiration. And you were so quiet, you never
(09:22):
made one peep like felt sorry for yourself or you know,
so thank you for being just phenomenal. And I do
shout out. Is that what we do when you do
that on the Breakfast show? Shout out to all her,
all the people in the hospitals, right, all the great
caretakers who oh, and they can't send you a limo
(09:42):
every day to get you to work, but.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I would love that. How wouldn't you deserve that?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I think you could have your own show. You have
such a super nice nature, so you had no obstacles
because you're an angel. You just floated and they said,
here's a job. Okay, don't go to sleep ever, but
you're great.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I mean, I think everybody has obstacles, and even if
we can't relate to each other's obstacles, everyone experienced obstacles
on their own scale of what they can and cannot handle.
And I just think I'm really big on what I
said before is just kind of staying positive. And I
know there's this new term called toxic positivity. I don't
(10:24):
advocate for that. I do want people to feel their
feelings and be in tune with how they feel, but
also know that, like I said, you don't have bad days.
You have bad moments, and sometimes the bad moments might
happen very often back to back, like getting a cancer
diagnosis and having to do all those things in the
(10:47):
middle of what seemed to be the peak of my career,
and you.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Kind of just have to I'm jumping all over the place,
but what I say is that you're perfect.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Sad or sulking or being angry never changes the situation
that you're in.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
You're just so good. I'm an you know Will Pearson,
president of your Boss, right, is that president of iHeart
podcast Network is on episode one, so awesome. We might
have him come back in and then, but I think
I need to tell him since I have so much
influence now no that you would be so you're I
think we really need to hear more from you because
(11:27):
you're just so inspiring, and that's who I want to hear,
you know, people who've gone through things and they keep going.
And because yeah, we can get frazzled about delivering a
podcast episode, but truthfully, does anyone care if we just
play the same one as last week?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Probably? I assure you someone will.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Here, But you know what I mean, it's a brain surgery.
But I try to remind myself because I was getting
a little stressed out because my the play, Oh my God,
Particle show Play is going to England for a full run.
I you know Eddie Hazard, one of my favorite I
think he well, he's now Susie. Eddie Izard is the
(12:08):
best one person show performer. And this producer also discovered
Trevor Noah in South Africa, so he took on my
show and they're gonna do a full run at the
Edinburgh Festival. We're gonna try. That's why I sent you
the poster.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
With which was beautiful by the way.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Isn't it. Lewis at McLeod at a open agency in
London did the most beautiful job in twenty four hours.
And then all the people at Mick Perrin worldwide. Those
are my producers of the live theater show, which I
still absolutely love live theater. And then so Mick and
Rubin and Harry. There's all these great guys. And but
(12:48):
I was gonna ask you because we that was really
cool when you said we should put in every podcast
episode to shout out for that show. But you have
twenty million downloads a week or something. I mean, here
a a monster show. But how so how do you
translate the podcast to the live show? Because I know
Will Pearson, he said to me sometimes when the podcast
(13:10):
hosts go to the live shows that all the listeners
they feel like they know them, or is there something
that you do different when I know yours isn't like
theater like mine. But hopefully it will gain some traction
and some synchronicity between the podcast is launching on a
May thirty first and everyone, and then it's gonna go
(13:32):
all the way. And thanks to Paul Mercier is so
talented and fun to work with. We love like shaping
the sound and making quirky things. And we have a
lady scientists, right the lady scientists breaking through the space
time continuum, trying to make it fun. But I was wondering,
what if you had any since you are so brilliant
(13:52):
and you know everything, what could you do for the
live events, what should I do? And also because you
did your Black Effect Cass Festival, what went on there? Like, yeah, people,
Well Charlemagne's just massive, right, But what is the other
shows you have?
Speaker 4 (14:07):
They we had the eighty five South Show, we had
Horrible Decisions, We had Checking In with Michelle Williams and
she collaborated with reasonably Shady Ladies. We had a few
different shows. I'm drawing a blank as well, but we
had so many and we had so much going on.
(14:30):
It was such a great time. But to answer your question,
I think the main thing is just creating an experience
because the listeners of podcasts and radio when all these
personality driven things, they really do feel like they know you,
and they start to build almost a relationship with the
person that they're listening to consistently. And I always knew well,
(14:54):
I always heard when I was going to school and
learning about radio. At the best hosts made the listen
or feel like they were friends. It was very personal,
and I think live shows give you the opportunity to
take that to the next level because now you're actually
in person. So I think interactive stuff is always great,
especially with you and the podcast and most of your
(15:17):
stuff surrounding science. There's so many ways that.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
You can take it.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Like there's this place that where I'm from, and it's
kind of like a date night place that people go.
So I'm stepping outside of podcasting, but it is probably
something that you can pull and turn into.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Your own thing.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
But they do science experiments and it's just like a
room full of strangers and they come in and they
do science experiments together and they have drinks and it's
really really fun and it's really popular here because it's
such a wild concept, but it's really enjoyable because even
(15:57):
your average person who is not a super genius mad scientists,
science is interesting. So when you start letting people come
from a long day of work and mixed chemicals and
together and mix things, that glowe.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Yeah. So I think that a great idea.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Yeah, if you introduced something like that in your live podcast,
where people in the audience have the opportunity to do
very simple science experiments together. When I went to that place,
we did simple stuff like you know when you were
in third grade and you did the volcano and you
did the taking.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
And vinegar and then erupted.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
But it's just that that kiddish kind of spirit that
you add just makes it really fun. And now you're
allowing people to interact with not just you, but the
other people in the room and.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Just opening your mind. Yeah, thats because that's really important
to me to make science fun and show that it's art,
and that's why we have. We did a great interview
the Queen guitarist Brian May, physicist. He wrote a book
with Chris Linn Tadt and kind of Wake for their astrophysicists.
And Chris runs a show on the BBC called This
(17:07):
Guy at Night. But they especially when you hear this
Hannah wake for like just blowing your mind but so simple.
A lot of them say they're no dumb questions. So
we liked just that anybody could think, just so you
could explore and imagine and create. Going forward, And where
did you so? What kind of school did you go
to to do what you do? You went to a
(17:28):
radio school.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Well, I think you would love to know that.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
When I first started college, I was a science major.
I don't remember if I told you that, and then
I ended up dropping out because I only did it because,
like I said before, science is really cool. And then
I realized I couldn't do it for a living because
I'm not actually going to be a good scientist.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
I was just interested in it.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
So I dropped out and then I just went to
school for mass communications with a specialist in the media.
And when I started school, I thought that I wanted
to be the person in the forefront.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
I wanted to be the star.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
And the longer I was in school and the more
I saw what was required of the people who are
in the forefront, I wanted to run and screen. But
then when I saw all the amazing jobs in the
background that we can do, and we can still be
a part of the conversation that people have on a
broad scale, and you can still contribute to the narrative
(18:31):
and the things that people are saying on a large scale,
except you get to go to the supermarket and nobody
recognizes you. That's when I realized I found a home
behind the scene.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
You have this great way of evaluating Oh, Situ, thank you.
I'm really smart, because first of all, I think you'd
be a great scientist. Just the way you figured out
how things work. I mean, that's brilliant. That's if we
can inspire people to do that. But I absolutely agree
with you, because when you were talking, I felt like
you were a NASA control system, like you could put
(19:04):
a rocket in space because you and we people forget,
don't they, with this whole obsession about the front person
y is uh, they forget all the work of that
goes into and that it is kind of scientific, right
and detailed what you have to do and all the
things you all the balls you have to keep in
(19:24):
the air and keep everything going, and all the personalities.
But I am just like, I really appreciate that I
met you and how supportive you were, because remember last April,
I was just had been in my closet like two years, right,
recording voiceovers. And I think you'll also see that. Will
(19:46):
talked about that too, how people when baby podcasters, they
get the first episode out and then the difference that
they see like by the tenth or the one hundredth episode.
So and just yeah, Paul has been awesome.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Yes, if Paul Paul was responsible for the production on
the first two episodes that she sent me, he is incredible.
And that is what allows me to come in here
and not be nervous to talk on because I know
he'll make us sound really nice, and he's done.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
So our eight episodes, and we're gonna rope him into
doing the sound design for the theater. We're gonna I'm
saying this, so now you're gonna have to do it
and all the other seasons that we're doing, all the
other shows. And why I point you out, Paul, is
that because this is these people like Will and this
other guy Chris on the podcast, and Mark, my mentor
(20:36):
from CERN and John, and like, I know, we started
out this woman's initiative, but I think it's now exciting
that we can all work side by side and create
great things together. And we definitely need people like Paul
who support us and encourage us. And I never heard
him say, you knucklehead podcast host? What are you doing? No,
(20:57):
So I really have learned so much on this whole procedure.
So what do you have a vacation? That's what I
would like to know. And do you sleep on the weekend?
Speaker 3 (21:07):
I do sleep on the weekends. I sleep a lot.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
And my guilty pleasure on the weekends is fine dining,
and my excuse is always I work hard, so I
never feel bad about the bill that comes when I'm
done eating on the weekend, and what kind.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Of food do you like? In case we send you
a takeout order, what kind of food do you like best?
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Well, I love really anything. I'm like.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Very greedy, and I appreciate most cuisines because another fun fact,
when I was in high school, when I was preparing
to go to college, I wanted to be a chef.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
So I used to watch.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
Cooking shows all day every day, and I would go
in the kitchen and try to recreate all the recipes
I saw that week and so I just loved everything.
But on the weekend, I was doing steakhouses. But now
I'm trying to cut back on eating so much red
meat and being healthier.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
So I'm exploring new things.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
I'm doing Italian this weekend, and I mean, I can't
say I'm exploring Italian for the first time, but I'm
going to a new Italian restaurant, so I'm excited because
it's one I've never been to before.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
And do you go out where you live or do
you go in the city like Manhattan?
Speaker 4 (22:25):
I go out in the city more. And now that
the weather in New York is getting better, and.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Are people starting to go out to dinner in New
York it's everything as expensive as it is here in LA.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
It's definitely expensive, especially the area that I work in
because I work not too far from Times Square, So
everywhere in that vicinity is super expensive because they know
that it's going to be full of tourists who don't
know better, or they're just so excited that they're going
to pay it anyway. And then for us regular folks
who go there every single day, we just have to
(22:58):
cry and pay ten thousand dollars for our lunch. But yeah,
it's the surprising thing is New York people are going
out and being around each other, but we still didn't
fully recover from the pandemic, so we're not the city
that never sleeps anymore. It's almost kind of disheartening when
(23:20):
you drive, especially like I said, I get to work
at about four or fifteen in the morning, and once
upon a time, if you drove through New York City
at that time, especially the Times Square area, there were
people everywhere and all everything was still open and you
had options to go anywhere. And now it's so desolate
and it's quiet, and really there's not many things that
(23:41):
are open late anymore. It's still getting used to because
now that we're.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
A restaurant, the Semantha a long term Okay, I'm gonna
have everything that you cook because.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Yeah, I know, I will definitely host you as my
opening night.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
See that. Why don't you go come to England to
Edinburgh Festival and to see my play and then you
can go on the Master Chef or something. The Great
British Bakeoff, my producer actually produced. She's eighty three years old.
Pro Leath one of the most of the Great British Bakeoff.
She did a one woman show and a tour all
(24:21):
over the United Kingdom. So I guess we can't go
retire yet. But I have no doubt You're good everything
you put your mind to you. Oh, when you're talking,
I'm telling you the absolute truth. You have this beautiful
like it is almost like a angel like this quality
(24:41):
your openness, and you're so highly intelligent, but it's connected
to your heart so it doesn't come out like brainiac
stuff that we can't understand. But you I just see
like when you were young and just your curiosity, so
that that's good. We can encourage a curiosity and imagination, creativity,
right because look, you had got your dream job. Yes
(25:04):
you are making a huge difference. So super congratulations, Thank you,
and I hope you get to sleep tonight.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
I absolutely will. I don't know if you noticed, but
I'm not in the office. Oh I'm home early today,
so I do plan.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Yay, and tell your mother I'm gonna yeah, your mom,
I'm would you say when you creep out of the
house in the morning. They're fine with that.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
You know, it took them a lot of getting used to.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
And when I first started going to work that early,
my dad used to wake up and drive me to
the train station and make sure I got on the train,
and it was like, you don't have anywhere to be,
and he would be awake before I am, Like at
three point thirty in the morning, he's sitting in the
living room with his shoes on, waiting for me to
take me to the train.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
And I think that they have finally kind of gotten
used to it.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
I can't say they'll probably have loved the idea of
me being out there going to work and traveling by
myself at that time, because you know, parents are always
going to have that hold on their kids and want
to protect them forever.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
But they've definitely gotten used to it.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
They must be so proud of you. They whatever they did.
I know you were born your own person, but they
definitely You're just a product of all sorts of awesome things.
It's so obvious when you talk and I thank you
so much for everything you've done for me. And as
I promised, I'll make you proud, so we're going to
come around proud.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
I'm so happy to see the evolution of this podcast
because I know when we first started, you were so nervous,
and I have to say, like you said earlier, when
we met, you were like not you hadn't left your
house in so long, and you were so nervous. And
I'm so happy that you made the decision to break
out of your shell and go to Europe. And because
(26:56):
you're such an incredible human being, and I love that
you're going to share yourself with the world.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
You're the best we should. I definitely would love to
go to your restaurant and also listen to your show
and your TV show because you have so much to say.
So we'll just keep on this road of trying to,
you know, pep up the generations after us, right because
we were lucky we did have iHeart programs internships, the
(27:22):
support Seneca Women, the Great Will Pearson's and Paul Mercier.
We have. You know, there's a lot of wonderful people
that it's a small club, but we canna keep pushing forward, right, yes, okay,
Well I will be knocking you up for oh I
mean hitting you up. I'll be knocking on your door
(27:43):
so you can help blast out the trailer that Paul
and I put together and we will thank you for
your support. Well, we're gonna keep you posted so you
can't get rid of us that fast.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
So I don't you go.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Have a giant bowl apasta and get yourself into bed
by seven pm.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
I'm watching my figure Dahlia. So my dinner is a
protein shake. The pasta is for Saturday.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Oh. I met this awesome trainer who is Kobe Bryant's trainer, Marco.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
You know, the wildest people and.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
He but he he's in two weeks, taught me so
much like a functional fitness you know, how to. I
actually think we'll have him on the podcast because also
the kind of cosmetic fitness that people promote is just
so distant from what you really need to do to
walk down the street to do a live show. When
(28:34):
I do the theater show, thirty shows in thirty days,
so wish me lave.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Are you so excited about that?
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Though I'm working on it, so okay, Yes, we're gonna
knock it out of the park. You're having a protein
shake for dinner. Yes, I guess I better not have
that pizza I was planning on.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Oh, enjoy your pizza. I don't want this to make
you feel guilty. I have to.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
I have to exercise balance because sometimes at work, because
we're morning shows, a lot of places like to bring
us food, but they are not acknowledging the fact that
it's morning, so they're not bringing us breakfast.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
The other day we had like macaroni and.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Cheese and ribs, and like they send like legitimate food
and it's seven o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
And do you think any of us have the well
power to say no?
Speaker 1 (29:25):
And there's something about when you're tired, I notice that
I will really just eat with abandon. And also like
craft service tables are not like some fruit a vegetable salad. Right,
there's so many.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Right.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
The week of Sinko de Mayo, we had tacos from
different restaurants every morning. Then like three out of the
five day week. Three days out of the five day
week we had like Margarita's and Tequilas Dahlia.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
It's seven o'clock in the morning, no wonder.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
You love your job? Now we need some of that.
You're awesome, okay, but I give you full permission to
have a four course Italian meal and tiramissu and some
Chianti favorite whatever you want. You deserve all the success
and fun times and a month holiday in Italy. Are
you going to come to Europe? Didn't you say?
Speaker 5 (30:21):
Ye?
Speaker 4 (30:21):
I have been twice, but it was when I was younger,
and I want to come back as an adult. I
had plans to come to Paris in June, but I
had to change that. But I really am hoping to
be in Europe soon. I have family there. I haven't
seen them in years.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
So you're amazing. Well you have a good smoothie and
get into bed soon and get to work safely every day.
And thank you for everything you've done for me and
everyone else. I know your work spreads wide and people
just love hearing what you've created, So thank you for
being a super angel.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
You too, Bye.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
I have a good evening.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Thank you bye.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Thank you so much Samantha for always being there for
me and for being such a shining light. It's totally
full speed ahead for me. I have absolutely no excuses,
and I think there is something really important that Samantha
reminded me of. When I first met Samantha, I didn't
know that she was going through cancer treatment. Truthfully, we
(31:21):
never really know what someone else is going through unless
they tell us or we ask. She is so strong
and so gracious that really inspires me. But I also
want to give an extra shout out again to her
family and to all the medical personnel who helped heal
this beautiful woman. I wish only wonderful things for Samantha.
I'm so happy that she was cured by brilliant scientists
(31:43):
and by the love of her family, and that she
is using her thoughtful and brilliant mind to bring us
the artistry and creativity of the Charlemagne the God radio show,
podcast and television show. Don't forget to check it out.
See it's all connected. Did you know that at Cerne
using antimatter to come up with new medical innovations? Remember
(32:04):
keep looking up, stay positively charged. We are the stars. Goodbye,
for now. Adios a Rivederci, Abfaedersen, aabiento. Join us next
week for more mind blowing guests and a special surprise,
a balance seeing me and the OMGPS Show live and
in person at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Thank you for
(32:26):
being part of the OMGPS Club. It's such a pleasure
to have you here. Until next time.
