Mitts.
What's up, girl?

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Hi Thaddeus, Thank you for having me again.
The first time was fun and weweren't really friends.
Then the second time we werelike friends and then this time
I would consider you a goodfriend.
So we're moving, we're movingour way up, you know, and I'm
I'm stoked to be here again.
I, of course, I will do thisfor you every time.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Right on, because every year that's the plan it's
going to be you and Aria prettymuch, and Hoppa at least once a
year.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
I love it.
I love it.
Yeah, no, I'm honored.
I'm honored per usual.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
Well, the honor is mine and I definitely wanted to
have you.
I felt pressed for time becauseyou're moving and I wanted to
have your last episode in, atleast for this time around in
Hawaii your last Hawaii episode,because you're moving to the
mainland, I'm around in Hawaii,your last.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
Hawaii episode because you're moving to the
mainland.
Yeah, everything is changingand it's changing really fast,
literally, I think.
How many days do I have?
Saturday, sunday, monday,tuesday went five days left in
Hawaii.
That's it, I mean, for the timebeing at least.
I'll be back, of course I'll beback, you know, back and forth,
but I mean living in this spacethat I'm in right now.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Yeah, only five days left.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
How bittersweet is it Like how long have you been
living in that space and that'syour own little apartment?
Yeah, I've been living heresince 2021.
So four years, yeah, I think weliterally moved in February of
2021.
I love my space Like it hasnothing to do with like needing
a different space, although theapartment that I will be moving
to in San Diego is bigger thanthis space.
That's not the point.
It was like the perfect amountof space for me and then

(04:35):
eventually you know cause mydogs came into the picture in
2023, I got Ramsey in umFebruary of 2023.
And then I got Solana inDecember of 2023.
So it was the perfect little.
They're both bothering me rightnow.
It was the perfect amount ofspace for they're just both at
my feet right now.
So how's that going to work?

Speaker 2 (04:56):
when you move up there with with the dogs.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
They're, so they're coming with me.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Yeah, they're like, oh, like, are you taking your?

Speaker 2 (05:09):
dogs and I'm like what kind of mom do you think I
am leaving like the humps here,like I was more asking how it
works, where I assumed that Iwould.
Yeah, I, I guaranteed knew thatthere you were gonna bring.
I was trying to figure out howdoes one bring dogs to the
mainland, because I know inhawaii you gotta kennel them for
a long time.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Yeah, Mainland to Hawaii is much harder than
Hawaii to the mainland.
Hawaii to the mainland, youreally don't need much.
But mainland to Hawaii is a lotmore of an extensive process.
They got to go throughquarantine.
You have to have certainpaperwork.
For mainland to Hawaii it's wayeasier.
You just for me, becausethey're both small.

(05:43):
They're going to come with me,so I'm flying with my parents.
My parents are coming with me.
They're going to help me moveup there.
Yeah, it's like just likecollege, even though I'm 30
years old or almost 30 years old, I'd be with Aria too.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
So that's how it works, that's how it should be.
Yeah, totally.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
Totally so.
Um, they're helping me move.
So my mom or my dad, I stillhaven't.
Whoever wants to take one ofthe dogs will take one and then
I'll take the other and they canjust go like in front of our
seat.
Cause they're so small,ramsey's kind of big.
I'm a little worried about her,so I'm a no problem, she's
small, she'll fit, you know, andshe'll be chill in that carrier

(06:21):
but Ramsey's like pushing it inthe carrier.
So we will see um, or no, can no, you're not supposed to, but
we're flying the red eye.
Um plus, I'm going to ramsey.
That's enough.
Um plus, I'm going to put themon some sort of medication to
mellow them out oh so hopefullythey'll just be, if you want for

(06:43):
them no I got some vet, youknow some vet medicated things
and we're gonna be cruising,hopefully ready to go, because
you know the last thing anybodywants on a red eye is dogs
crying.
So, oh yeah, I'm gonna makesure that they're like asleep,
asleep, like I don't want tothink about nothing.
So that's how we're going to doit, and listen if they cry.

(07:06):
Babies cry on flights all thetime.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
So don't even give me a break.
Plus, you're never going to seethose people again.
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
I mean, I hope not.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
All right.
Well, let's back it up a bit.
It's been a crazy year sincethe last time I had you on my
show for you and the reason whyyou're moving, because
everything got flipped upsidedown on you and we don't have to
get into that whole thing.
I did want to say I, whilegetting ready for this episode,

(07:37):
I kind of prepped a little bitand I stumbled on the video of
you saying I'm talking about howyou're leaving, I heart.
And yes, I watched this videoand I seen the tears in your
eyes and um which, by the way,there's a longer cut where I'm
crying much harder.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
I actually cut a lot of it out.
I cut so much of it out, but Ihad to leave a little bit.
I was like I have my.
My personality has always beenabout authenticity, like it's
always been about.
I'm going to be honest, I'mgoing to be transparent.
Now, I don't have to shareeverything, yeah, but I can be
honest about how I'm feeling,and that's kind of like what

(08:15):
that video was about.
So, yes, I was crying.
Anyway, go on.
I'm sorry I was watching ittoday.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
I was watching it today and then I realized, like
the sadness and hurt I waswatching you feel and I kept
thinking to myself, oh, if I, ifI could go back in time and
tell that girl a few months backwhat she's going to be doing
now, like she'll be so stoked.

(08:42):
And I was thinking, oh yeah, ifI could tell her, like
everything's going to be good,something good is going to
happen, something great likethis is, this was just a step
piece alone.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
and then I realized I did say all that shit when you
dropped that video so I'm likeokay, so very very few people,
not very few, but, but somepeople called me after the video
was posted, like some peopletexted me.
You were like one of the peoplethat called me after that video
and you were like, but you callme kind of after like, or you

(09:14):
call me.
You're like a person who callsme in general, which not a lot
of people do.
Um, yes, I remember you.
I think you were like one ofthe first ones to call me.
Yeah, I think you saw it likepretty fast, like, and were like
one of the first ones to callme.
Yeah, I think you saw it likepretty fast, like, and you were
one of the first ones to call meand you told me kind of the
same thing and I, after I madethe video, I had stopped crying.
After that.

(09:35):
I didn't actually cry aboutabout it after that.
It was kind of just like acathartic way of letting it out.
So I think because I cried,people were really worried way
of letting it out.
Um, so I think because I cried,people were really worried.
Um, but looking back on it, I'mkind of happy that I was honest
about how I was feeling.
Like I could have.
I feel like I could have been.
Are you?

(09:55):
Am I still connected?
sorry the audio yeah yeah, okay,um, and I like I could have
faked the funk, I feel like, butI but I didn't, and I wanted to
be authentic about the wholesituation and I was.
I'm looking at my call log nowand yeah, you like, you called
me several times.
In fact, you called me threetimes on the day and you're one

(10:20):
of the first ones to do so.
So, yeah, I mean it's isn isn'tit crazy that?
Well, I knew, okay, I criedabout it, but I knew that things
were going to work out the waythat they were supposed to.
I was always a believer thatthings were going to work out
the way that they were supposedto.
I wasn't super surprised aboutwhat happened, um, because Sam

(10:42):
and Ryan had gotten let go inMarch.
I knew it was only a matter oftime that they were going to.
You know, take like a morningshow solo is not something that
is common knowledge or somethingthat happens all the time.
So I knew it was a ticking timebomb.
I just didn't know.
I thought that they would likemove me to a different station I
thought that was going tohappen where they would be like,

(11:03):
ok, like, listen, we're goingto get rid of the beat, like I,
I fully saw that coming, thatwas not a surprise.
But I thought, okay, we'regetting rid of the beat, we're
going to put you on Island orfull-time on pop or KS is K,
like I thought I was going toget moved around, but to get cut
completely was like that was asurprise.
Uh, and it definitely was.
Yeah, it was sad, you know,because that was my gig, that

(11:25):
was like my livelihood and I,after it happened, I there was a
lot of conversation with myself, with my family, with my
friends of like is radio myidentity?
Like did I equate who I am as aperson to radio and that was
kind of like the crisis I washaving and it was a lot.
It was.
It was good that I had a tripplanned for right afterwards,

(11:46):
like it just so happened that Iwas going to go anyway, so it
was good.
That was a really good way tolike kind of take a load off for
sure.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
I definitely understand that whole identity
thing.
When I used to compete andteach, I thought that was my
identity and I was thinking likewhen I stopped then who am I?
but I realized eventually thatthat's not the case.
It's not your identity is whatyou do like you're becky, and

(12:16):
your personality and who you areis what transcends to your job.
It's not the other way around.
Your job doesn't create who youare.
You create how people perceiveyou at your job.
One thing shitty about youleaving the radio for me and my
daughter was like we lookedforward to your show every

(12:37):
morning and that was part ofsomething that both aria and I
bonded over like we would talkabout some of your segments, or
and and aria was super bummedwhen I told her like she's like
what, what are we gonna listento now?
and she was like, what is shegonna do?
And I was kind of explaining toher.
By the way, she is so stoked tobe going on sunday, yeah she's

(12:59):
going away party.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
Good, I'm glad, by the time this comes out, the
party will have already happened.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
So yes, I'm glad I'm so glad I'm excited for that.
Yeah, but I think that wheneverything happened, I just for
you, I felt like fuck, this kindof had to happen so you can
make that next move to whateverit's going to be.
And what I don't get is the theradio station now plays a

(13:26):
mainland show that, like blows,I don't get it.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
They're gonna be my co or my colleagues, because I'm
going back to iHeart so I'm notgonna say too much well, I can
that that show is not thebusiness.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
I know they did the same thing with star and they
brought the woody show on and itwas a mainland show that yeah,
because you like alternativemusic.
That's yeah, yeah and that showis is better it's.
It's not my cup of tea as much,but the show that they brought
to to replace your show what is?

(14:05):
Yeah, I don't even know howthat's good in the mainland, but
that's my opinion.
That's.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
That's just my opinion well, it's been
happening a lot all over thecountry.
A lot of rhythmic stationsdon't really I mean hip-hop, r&b
, pop that's always going to belike my favorite genre of music,
but it doesn't typically dovery well in radio because that
particular audience is streamingmusic and if they're streaming

(14:32):
music, they're not usuallylistening to the radio.
If they are listening andpeople talk, they're listening
to podcasts, which is fine.
Um, it's something that youknow.
Not only did I acknowledge, butSam Ryan and I all acknowledge
that that was happening.
And so, yeah, like you know,not only did I acknowledge, but
Sam Ryan and I all acknowledgedthat that was happening and so,
yeah it.
Like you know, we weren't like,oh my god, we're so shocked,
like we kind of it was like weknew this was happening.

(14:54):
And also they say in radio thatif you don't get cut at least
once, then you haven't been inradio like long enough.
Oh, I'm sorry, I tried to fixthis.
So they say that.
They say that everybody inradio gets cut at least once.
I'm sorry, this is gonna bother.
There we go if I don't move it.
They say everybody.
They say everybody in radiogets cut several times.

(15:17):
So it was not like I mean I wassurprised how quickly another
radio gig fell into my lap, butyeah, no it was.
It's been a crazy few months.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
That's all I can say about it well, there's a few
things I wanted to talk to youabout, I know, for one of the
things I wanted to talk aboutwas you kind of started
impressing me with you the wayyou've been hitting your fitness
goals and how serious youstarted taking your uh workouts

(15:50):
and stuff, and that kind ofhappened a little bit prior to
you get um, getting let go yes,well that, yes, I wasn't getting
laid, so I had to do something.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
I had to do something cardio is a must somehow no, I
just I was not.
I was just not comfortable withmy body and I felt like I wasn't
as attractive as I wanted to be.
And, um, if, yeah, from aboutJuly yeah, july of last year, so

(16:21):
July of 2024, was when Istarted to take it really
seriously.
Like, end of July, so more likeAugust, is when I started to
take it really really seriously,I lost 30 pounds pretty quick
and then it kind of got stagnant, but I'm still actually, within
the last few weeks, I'veprobably gained a little bit of
weight back because I've been sostressed.
I've just been eating like I'vebeen so hungry, like so hungry,

(16:45):
but I'm still keeping up theworkouts, I'm still trying to
work out.
But when I was unemployed forthat very short amount of time,
I was working out like twice aday because I didn't have
anything else to do.
So I was, I leaned out, um, buta lot of it had to do with that
.
I just felt like I just didn'tfeel confident.
I didn't feel like myself.

(17:09):
Um, I had a very like and this,this could be very helpful for
girls and boys out there, but mylibido was low and so I was
like you know it, like maybe,and I heard exercise does
something for that.
So I just mostly I wanted to bemore attractive, and that's
going to sound like really vain,but it no, it drastically

(17:33):
improved my mental health too.
It drastically improved mymental health, my physical
health and, yeah, like even likemy social life got better
because of all the exercise andwatching what I eat and drinking
protein shake coffees in themorning.
You know what you know Idropped the weight is I was

(17:55):
drinking protein shakes withcoffee for breakfast and then I
would eat yogurt and tunapackets for lunch and then for
dinner I would get a littlefucking disgusting.
And then at dinner I would go alittle bit harder but I would

(18:16):
do something like broccoli andchicken, but I would do like a
bigger portion of that.
And then I was working out likeevery day, every day I'm still
working out, you know, and I'm,I'm going to continue to work
out, even when I'm at.
I'll probably drop the weightwhen I'm in San Diego, hopefully
, hopefully.
The stress has just been likeno cause, I've been drinking a

(18:38):
lot and I've been eating a lot.
I just attributed to stress,but I know that I can.
I know that I can drop theweight.
So I was like, okay, I'm justgonna.
I was going to enjoy my timeleft that I have here and just
think about it too much as longas I continue to work out, which
I have been.
So, yeah, thank you fornoticing.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
Well, it makes sense because when you exercise,
you're releasing endorphins thatmake you feel good serotonin.
Also, once you start seeingresults, to me that's the
biggest motivator.
Once you're like oh shit it'sworking, like, oh, I'm getting
stronger, I'm losing a littlebit, and then it's like it's
working.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
Yeah, this is a medium.
I used to wear larges, so theresults speak for itself largest
.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
So the results speak for itself and I noted notice
how hard you're working, likeyou said, you do two days and
stuff like that and I think justyour work ethic behind
everything you do just neededthat as a target, like, okay,
I'm gonna take this fitness in alittle more serious and health
a little more serious, and thenyou're just the Becky mitts work
ethic was put behind that andthen the results come.

(19:51):
So it's kind of easier thing todo because you already have the
mindset and work ethic Once youhave a target to focus it on,
if that makes sense.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
You know, I always struggled with my weight too.
To be honest with you, I alwaysstruggled with with it.
I really don't know what made adifference now versus like all
these other times I've tried todrop weight, um, but it's, it's
always like it's always been astruggle of mine.
I was slim in high schoolbecause I was playing basketball
and I was slim in college, butthen when I turned 25, I just

(20:23):
well, the pandemic.
I turned 25 during the pandemicand I was just eating like all
the time, super depressedbecause it was a pandemic, I
mean, that was like it foreverybody.
And then I put on like a lot ofweight.
I was close, I was close todeuce.
I was close to 200 pounds.
I was like, I think, at myheaviest, I think my heaviest, I
was like 185.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
Wow, so I never even hit 185.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
I think the most I ever was was 160.
Oh my God, that was like mygoal weight for a long time.
But yeah, no, so I I just well.
I had a goal of 30 by 30.
So I wanted to lose 30 poundsby 30.
And then I did that prettyquickly.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
Nice.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
So now it's just kind of maintaining I, I still, I
still want to be slimmer andslimmer, and slimmer, but I'm
proud of the progress that I'vemade, Like I'm proud of it and
um well, I'm proud for youbecause, um, you look a lot

(21:27):
happier.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
I'm not saying you need to lose all this weight,
but you look a lot happier and Ithink if you're feeling good
about yourself, it's alwaysgonna show, and I think yeah,
well, it helps that I've got anew job and I'm moving to a new
city.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
Like I look happier.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
I mean I, yeah, I'm definitely, I'm definitely
happier, for sure, for sure,yeah, for sure prior to you
getting your job in san diego,you took this situational job
for the newspaper.
That was kind of cool and I,because of your job and what you

(22:02):
did, made me realize how manypeople still read the newspaper,
because anytime you put mypicture on there I got tons of
messages, dms, of people withscreenshots or pictures of the
newspaper and I'm thinking likeyou read the newspaper or like

(22:24):
how do you be happy?

Speaker 1 (22:25):
I mean, my job was worth it.
No, because you're my like,most supportive, one of my most
supportive reliable friends,like when I.
When you think support, whenyou think reliability, I think
you, because I mean, granted, Ihave a lot of it.
Comes with it.
Are y'all for real?
Sorry, they're beefing rightnow.
Can you hear them?

(22:45):
Sorry?
No like when I, when I thinkabout reliable and supportive
friends, it's like it's notnecessarily a long list, so when
it's like, okay, I needsomebody to do this for me and I
need them to do it fast and Ineed to be able to to know that
I can rely on them.
I think that is.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
Oh great, which everybody's always like why do
you call him Thaddeus?

Speaker 1 (23:07):
I'm like that's his name.
That's his name on social media.
It's literally Thaddeus.
The name of the podcast isAbove the Bridge with Thaddeus.
I was like what do?
You mean Tina, anyway, so Ithink Thaddeus, so I had you in
the crave.
I think you were in like thefirst crave poll.
I did.
No, I think Hoppa was the firstone, you were like the second.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
The second yo.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
Yeah, yeah, and it's because they needed a celebrity.
And I was like who do I knowthat's a celebrity?
that I could call right away todo this for me, and so that's
the only reason I chose Hoppa.
But no, I just know that I canrely on you and with the midweek
, so I'm under the midweekumbrella, but I don't I don't

(23:53):
really contribute to midweek atall, to be honest.
But one of my colleagues waslike oh, can you ask, like one
of your friends, to do themidweek poll?
And I was like I can, I knowsomeone who will do it.
Right, it was thaddeus.
I was like I know someone andit's thaddeus.
So like you're just so reliableand I'm so glad that people

(24:16):
still listen, or read thenewspaper, for that matter.
Between newspaper and radio itwas kind of like a patch 22,
like either or could have, couldgo away at any time.
So I'm glad people are stillare still reading it, for that
matter, and that's that'shilarious that they kept seeing
you in it yep, definitely.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
And how did you even get into that and did you have
fun doing it?

Speaker 1 (24:42):
loved it I want the record to reflect loved it.
In high school I wanted to be awriter.
I actually wanted to be awriter.
I was writing for our school'snewspaper.
I wrote for our literaryjournal.
I wrote fictional stuff.
I wrote non-fictional stuff.
I love to write, I actuallylove to write.
So the opportunity fell into mylap.
Kelly, who was the previouseditor, left for a different

(25:05):
position and she actuallyrecommended me for the job.
Um and it, just the timingended up working out where I was
going to be unemployed and yeahand it it.
Honestly, I have no regretstaking that job.
The San Diego thing was justsomething that also fell into my

(25:25):
lap.
A crave fell into my lap aswell.
I loved especially the columnthat I do Hot and New.
I can really be myself in thatcolumn and I can really have a
voice in it.
I'm super proud of all of thecolumns that I've done and I'm
so glad I was able to do it andI have something to show for it
and it's something that, likeI'm a published author, like,

(25:47):
yeah, when I was in, yeah, whenI was in high school.
Actually, a funny story is whenI was in high school I wanted to
be a writer and I wanted topursue writing for college and
my English teacher told me look,I believe in you, I believe in
your writing skills, but I thinkyou're going to be limited in
terms of your jobs if you pursuewriting, so I want you to
pursue communications instead.

(26:09):
And so I took his advice, lovedcommunications no regrets on
that either.
In fact, that's probably helpedme with my radio career and
then I ended up being a writeranyway.
And when it came out that I wasyeah, when it came out that I
was the editor for Crave, heactually messaged me and said
like I told you like everythingwas going to work out.
I told you I believed in yourwriting skills.

(26:31):
And he was like the onlyteacher that really believed in
me, because I was a really badstudent.
I was a terrible student, but Iwas like I was.
I love to write, I love to write.
I'll never like not love towrite.
I love to write.
I'll never not love to write.
I hope to continue writing,even in this new career.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
Well, you kind of are .
It's just kind of more madliving writing.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
Yeah, I still write, but it'll be a little bit
different in terms of what I'mwriting.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
Who knows?

Speaker 1 (26:58):
Maybe I'll be a freelance writer, maybe.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
Yeah, and honestly, it's good to have that on your
resume as well.
Mm-hmm, yeah, and honestly,it's good to have that on your
resume as well.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
It was, although I will say that is.
I feel bad that I was onlythere for such a short amount of
time.
I feel bad, I feel like Ishould have stuck there longer,
but I had to.
You know, like I mentioned inthe video, like I had to pursue
what I love, yeah, and it'sunderstandable.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
I think, like with everything, they'll find someone
else to to replace you.
But the main thing is you'redoing what you're passionate
about, and I remember youtelling me that you applied for
this a few months ago and Ithought you would get it.
I thought it would have taken alot faster.
Like they would have hired mebefore, right after the new year

(27:47):
or something like that and Iwas like, okay, well, she's good
with what she's doing now, butI knew that was not nowhere near
your end goal and I know, andit just like I loved it.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
Don't get me wrong, I loved it.
I loved it, but it just neverfelt like fully me.
I mean, granted, when I waswriting the Hot and New articles
, those definitely felt like me,but that was just one article
every other week.
Everything else I had to writeabout was it was writing about
food, and it was like foodprices.

(28:20):
I loved it, though, don't getme wrong, I mean I got to eat
for free all the time.
Prices I loved it, though,don't get me wrong, I mean I got
to eat for free all the time.
That's not a bad gig to have, soI didn't dislike it at all in
terms of that.
But when I was in radio andwhen I was doing the morning
show, it never, like I neverwoke up and felt like, oh, I
have to go into work, like Ijust love to do it, and I was so

(28:42):
happy to do it.
And I was happy to do it for therest of my life, which is how
you should feel at work.
My mom would always tell me.
She would always say you're solucky to have this job that you
love, that you're good at, and Iwas.
I am still very lucky that Iget to do this job, because not

(29:04):
a lot of people do you know yeah, and it's something that you're
good at, in my opinion.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
I I've loved your show and I love when both you
were.
I thought you were the strongerperson when it had Sam and Ryan
.
I thought when you had your ownshow it was.
It was perfect for your.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
I was struggling I was struggling with the solo
show.
So it didn't seem that way,though oh yeah, I was.
I was struggling in thebeginning.
It was really hard because itwas such like because what
happened?
It was like I didn't have anywarning.
It was sam and ryan cut nextday you're by yourself, which I
had never done before.

(29:44):
So it was like you're just, Iwas just thrown into it and then
, as time went on, I kind of gotused to doing that show by
myself and I, you know it becamefun after a while, but it's
still never really felt complete.
I knew it wasn't the best showthat I could I could do.
Uh, I'm better in a team and I'mexcited, I'm excited to be with

(30:07):
Jessie and Tati.
I, when I had made thatannouncement, everybody said oh
my god, you're gonna love Tati.
And I was like I already loveher she was the one who called
me.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
I love Tati she.
I knew her for a long time andshe's yeah, I think I love her,
that's gonna.
That's gonna be a good match.
So what is your whole new jobgonna entail and how did this
whole process happen?

Speaker 1 (30:31):
so now that now I got hired, I can I can say what
happened.
So yeah, I got let go.
I want to say on november 4thand I think november 6th, I went
on a trip.
It was like I got let go andthen, oh, I keep doing this.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
I'm so sorry no worries, I'm so sorry, let you
can cut this part out.
You can cut this out.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
Hold on, hold on, hold on oh my god, I'm sorry,
it's the white wine, there we gookay.
So I got let go.
Two days later I was scheduledfor a trip to go see Sabrina
Carpenter in Portland.
That trip was always going tohappen, like that was.
Before I got let go, I had noidea.
While I'm in Portland, I get acall from Tati, who I had never

(31:13):
talked to before in my life,never met her, and I,
unfortunately, I'd never heardof her either.
And I don't mean that in adisrespectful way, I just think
that she's been in the mainlandfor so long that I just never
heard of her either.
And I don't mean that in adisrespectful way, I just think
that she's been in the mainlandfor so long that I just never
heard of her.
So I get a call from her andshe says you know, we were
having this presentation aboutsocial media and they used you

(31:36):
as an example in thispresentation of how to do social
media well.
And she goes come to find out.
You got let go.
She's like why are they evenstill using your picture?
And you're you know you as anexample?
Anyway, with that being said,she says we're having this
executive producer position open, are you interested?

(31:56):
And I said you know, I don'tlike.
When I heard that, I was like Inever, like I was an on on-air
personality, like that's what Iwas doing and I know what an
executive producer is.
That's like jimmy the geek,who's very good at what he does,
and I just had him on a coupleweeks ago.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
Yeah, love him, right that's exactly what you know.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
So I was like, oh, I don't know, like I haven't
really like done that before.
And I was like I don't know, um, I'm on this trip right now in
Portland.
Like can I call you when I getback to Hawaii?
She's like, of course, right,I'm on vacation.
And I was in Seattle because Iwas going Portland to Seattle.
Back to Portland, I was inSeattle and she calls me again

(32:39):
and says, can you stop by SanDiego on your way back?
Like would you be down for that?
Well, you know what I mean.
And I was like, yeah, where amI going to go back to work?
So I was like, yeah, sure, andeven like, before I left on my
trip, my sister was like I thinkyou should extend your trip.
So I think I was like scheduledto leave on a Wednesday and she

(33:06):
was like you should just takeit all the way to Friday.
And she was like, just do it.
So I extended my trip.
I ended up in San Diego.
I met with the program director, I met with Jesse, I met with
Chati, I met with the seniorvice president and I've had a
little like interview processwhich I thought went.
Oh, I even met the executiveproducer, who I loved.
I love all of them, everybodylike gave me such a great
impression and I was skepticalof it before.

(33:29):
But when I met everyone and Isaw what the job entailed, I was
like I want this job.
Um yeah, and so all of thathappened.
Had a great weekend in SanDiego, which you know about.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:42):
And.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
God forgot about that .
How is that going to play?
Okay, we'll talk about thatafter.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
Well, let me just sidetrack.
It's not going to play out,cause I blocked him on social
media, so don't worry about thatsidetrack.
It's not gonna play out becauseI blocked him on social media,
so don't worry about that.
Um, but anyway.
So after that weekend, afterthat weekend no, and you know, I
do have a little bit ofgratitude for that gentleman
showing me around the city,because I ended up really loving

(34:10):
the city.
It really like solidified mydecision and wanting to move to
San Diego.
I was like what a beautifulcity.
Like he took me to all theright places.
So he like you can kind of givehim a little bit of credit from
this move to San Diego.
Uh, but after that week, afterthat weekend, I had a great time
.
I was like, yeah, man, like Ireally want this job.
But that was all the way backin November.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:34):
Anything.
So I was like shoot, shoot, Idon't think I got this job.
Like you know, I haven't reallyheard anything like I don't
think I got it.
And then a couple weeks ago, Ihave a meeting with them and
they're like we want to offeryou this position and I took it.
It it was crazy.

(34:55):
It's just crazy how fasteverything is moving.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
Well, I mean, I feel like you can handle the speed
and everything's moving.
I want to know what exactly isyour job going to entail for you
to do?
What is your job description?

Speaker 1 (35:16):
I will be back on the air in some capacity.
It's not going to be as strongas when I was on the Sam and
Ryan show, which I'm okay with.
Yeah, I will also be doing likelike midday afternoon shows on
I'm not sure which stations yetthat's something that's up to
them to decide, but you'll getthis little exclusive.

(35:37):
There is a very, very, very,very, very good chance I will be
back on stations here in Hawaii, since it's all under the IHON
umbrella Most likely, mostlikely, pop 101.9.
Ideally, I'd love to get backon the beat, but that station is
really like um, they call itformat center, so it's a lot of

(35:59):
like outside jocks that are onthat station.
Besides, I believe dj milk andsaffy are the only two like
local jocks on there.
Ideally, I'd like to go back tothat station.
I would be happy to.
That's like my first, obviouslymy first love, and so so I
would happily go there, but mostlikely it'll be Pop 101.9.

(36:20):
It might be other stations aswell, and, yeah, that's I mean
okay.
So the executive producerposition essentially what my
responsibilities are is creatingsocial media content for them,
for the show, turning thatstation into or that particular
show into a brand, putting itall on social media and creating

(36:41):
, like um, fascinating content,for lack of better words.
Uh, I also am responsible forcoming up with some of the
content that they do on the show, some of the segments that they
may have benchmarks, as we callit in the radio business.
That's going to be anotherresponsibility of mine.
Picking up the phone calls, allthings I did, by the way, on
the Sam and Ryan show.

(37:02):
I just was not labeled anexecutive producer.
It's all things that I'dalready done.
Picking up the phone callsinputting the prize winners, you
know, sending the emailsscheduling the commercials for
them, um recording commercials.
All stuff I already did.
It's all stuff I already did,but I just was not labeled as an
executive producer, I was anhonor personality.

Speaker 2 (37:23):
Oh, that's super cool .

Speaker 1 (37:24):
Yeah, no, it's.
My dad was like Becky, being anexecutive producer sounds so
cool and I was like, does it?

Speaker 2 (37:32):
Yeah, the title sounds like huge, like what this
sounds like.
That show can't happen ifyou're not there.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
I mean, ideally that's the goal, and Jesse and
Tati were, so I mean it was likeit's not just the job.
It was actually Jesse, tati,even Shelly, who was the
previous producer, that reallysolidified the decision, because
they really are super open tonew ideas.
They're also they alsocommunicate very well if they

(38:03):
don't like something, and Idon't mean that in a bad way at
all, I think that's a greatthing, um, and they were so
supportive of pushing my careerfurther.
they were it.
It was just lovely and Tati andI felt like old friends and it
was yeah that I wouldn't havewanted the job if it wasn't for

(38:24):
their personalities.

Speaker 2 (38:26):
I think you and Tati to get together working will be
something cool.
Like you, you guys kind of havea similar vibe.
Tati's a little more.
She was, when she was here, alittle more raw, like more moked
out kind.
But I think your guys'personalities would match and I

(38:46):
think- she still has a pigeonaccent.
Yeah, she is nuts, she stilldoes.

Speaker 1 (38:51):
And she's so good on the air.
I was only there for a day, butwatching their chemistry and
how they communicated with oneanother, did I lose you?

Speaker 2 (39:00):
No, you're here.

Speaker 1 (39:01):
Okay, yeah, I'm sorry these like earbuds don't really
fit in my ear, but yeah, shewas really.
She's so good they were.
Their chemistry was on point.
She's so funny.
Yeah, she's very relatable.
I mean, they were just on pointand she took me to tacos al
gordo, which was delicious andeverything was very good.

(39:24):
And I got there andeverything's in Spanish and I
was like Tati, I don't know whatany of this says, I'll just
order whatever you're ordering.
And she was, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, like I said itwas, I wouldn't have taken the
decision without getting to knowthem.

Speaker 2 (39:41):
You know, that's cool .
That's going to be that's goingto be cool.
Is there ways for people inHawaii to stream your guys show?

Speaker 1 (39:50):
Yes On the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (39:52):
OK, perfect.

Speaker 1 (39:54):
Oh, oh, my God, I'm so sorry I'm messing this
podcast up.
It's all good on the iheartradio app um, you can see I
already have it pulled up.
You can go to star 94.1 okayand you can.
You know you can listen to itlike like you were if you were
listening to the beat or Pop101.9, and you can listen from 6

(40:19):
to 10 am our time.
So, yeah, so it'll be a littleearly for you folks, but when
you're like you know, on yourway to school, or driving, you
know, driving Aria off ordropping Aria off at the school.
I was about to say at theairport, jesus At school, aria
off.
Or taking dropping aria off atthe school.
I was about to say at theairport, jesus at school.

(40:40):
Um, it'll be a good time tolisten, because it'll be about
eight to nine am our time, so,okay, um, yeah, you can listen
on the app perfect, which wouldbe great.

Speaker 2 (40:52):
I won't even tell aria, I'll just put it on one
time and just see how she reacts.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
I'm like yeah, well, in the beginning I'm not, I'm,
I'm gonna be.
I'm gonna tell you right now,in the beginning, I'm probably
not gonna talk that much yeah,yeah.
I might talk a bit because I'mnew.
So they might be like oh, thisis Becky Mintz, she's new,
here's where she's from, blah,blah, blah.
But I probably will be a littlebit more off the mic and I, I'm
okay with that, I'm honestlyokay with that, especially since

(41:17):
I'm going to be a little rustyfrom not being on the mic for
quite some time.
Yeah, that I'm going toappreciate, kind of slowly
getting back into it, but I missit.
Man, I'm excited, I'm stoked,I'm really excited.

Speaker 2 (41:30):
I'm stoked too.
I feel like it's going to be aslow build, and I it's going to
be a slow build, and I think theperson you are will add to that
chemistry.
And I know, tati, you guys aregoing to do some good stuff, are
your content?
Is it going to includepodcasting as well?

Speaker 1 (41:49):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
Oh perfect.

Speaker 1 (41:51):
Something else that I'm going to be doing is
producing podcasts.
I have a plan to do a podcastmyself.

Speaker 2 (41:57):
That's what I was my next question.

Speaker 1 (41:59):
Yeah, and something kind of like about transitioning
from Hawaii to San Diego andwhat that's kind of been all
about, what I've been up to I.
It makes me feel a little fullof myself, to be honest with you
, but there are definitelypeople who are like curious to
know what that transition hasbeen like, uh, and so that's

(42:22):
that's kind of the reason why Iwould produce it.
And I also have friends and, umpeople very close to me that
believe that I can I can uhspearhead a podcast on my own
and believe that I have theskill to do so.
So that's definitely somethingI'm going to do.
It's very easy for my end toproduce it.

(42:43):
I'm already a producer, as is,you know.
So, like, that's going to bevery easy for me to do.
I just need a microphone andcertain sound editing software,
and it's going to be like that,you know.
So it's going to be super easyfor me to do.
It's just a matter of what am Igoing to talk about and how
long am I going to talk about it.

Speaker 2 (42:59):
Do your shit that you're on the radio Do your.
Do your news, do your.

Speaker 1 (43:06):
Hollywood yes.

Speaker 2 (43:07):
Yeah, your Hollywood BS.
Do all those segments.
Don't.
Don't sell yourself short ofanything, because your
personality is what sells, sojust do your thing.
There's the doggy.

Speaker 1 (43:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (43:23):
I know.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
She's been on my lap this whole time.
This dog cost me so much money.
You have no idea.
I had to take her to the ER theother day because she had
bruising on her stomach.
It's gone now, but she hadbruising on her stomach.
I took her to the ER because Iwas like, oh my God, it could be
internal bleeding.
It wasn't.
I still don't know what it was,but it cost me $860.

Speaker 2 (43:43):
Oh shit.

Speaker 1 (43:46):
But I have pet insurance.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
So I got like a little.

Speaker 1 (43:49):
I mean more than half of it back.
Most of it went to mydeductible.
How can you sit there and fallasleep while I'm talking about
you being so damn?
She is so expensive.
I don't know if it's just likebecause she's like a full bread
dachshund.
She's like a true minidachshund and maybe it's like
the cream color, but she causesme so many trips to the vet.

(44:10):
You always call me trips to thevet, anyway.
So, um, I would love to producea podcast and ideally, that's
something that I want to do.
So I'm going to say it'sdefinitely going to happen.
I just don't know what it'sgoing to be called yet and I
don't know what I'm going toreally talk about yet, but
there's a lot of support in mycorner to do so?

Speaker 2 (44:30):
I'm definitely be down and supported.
Yeah, and if you have guests on, I'll definitely be a guest.

Speaker 1 (44:36):
That would be super cool, that would be lovely we
can talk about, you know, hawaii.
We can talk about ourfriendship and, yeah, all the
things that I share with you,that I shouldn't be sharing with
people.

Speaker 2 (44:47):
But we can talk about what is oof quest.

Speaker 1 (44:52):
Oof quest which was a success, by the way.

Speaker 2 (44:59):
Congrats.

Speaker 1 (45:00):
It was a success, thank you very much.
I finally finally baggedsomebody.
Thank God, god, I thought thatwas never going to happen for me
.

Speaker 2 (45:10):
You got to bring them around, so the boys can approve
or disapprove.

Speaker 1 (45:15):
Yeah, you know, I think you'll like him.
He's really really nice.
He's kind of on the dorky,quiet side.
Um, by the time somebody seesthis, I'll probably tell my
parents.
I haven't told my parents yetabout him, but oh, um, yeah, I
mean I'll tell them eventuallywhere does he live?

Speaker 2 (45:31):
vegas oh okay, that's kind of good.
Good, it's not close enough tointerfere with your transition,
but drivable and also, it's notsomething that I was like.

Speaker 1 (45:44):
I don't want to say that I wasn't like I hate when
people say it's going to happenwhen you least look for it,
cause it's not true.
I've always kind of beenlooking for a relationship
constantly, but I definitely didnot want one while I was going
through this transition.
It's definitely not somethingthat I was like oh, like yeah, I
would love to get in arelationship while I'm moving
across the ocean to a new like.

(46:06):
It's not something that I waslike top of mind of, so it kind
of happened in a way that wasn'tlike um, like I wasn't really
pursuing it, but it ended upworking out and I think you guys
will like him.

Speaker 2 (46:19):
Perfect, we'll be in.
Vegas in two weeks.

Speaker 1 (46:24):
Oh, are you really For real?

Speaker 2 (46:25):
Yeah me and Hoppa going snowboarding.

Speaker 1 (46:28):
Are you guys going to Vegas?
Vegas, though.
Can I meet up with you guys?

Speaker 2 (46:31):
We'll be there for one night on Thursday.

Speaker 1 (46:35):
One night, okay, no, maybe not.

Speaker 2 (46:37):
You guys might be doing other things.
Yeah, we're going to fly intoVegas and then we're going to
Brian Head and then we're goingto come back Thursday and then
spend one night in Vegas andthen back home, because we're
opening our new event.

Speaker 1 (46:55):
Ooh, can you talk about that yet?

Speaker 2 (46:57):
Yeah, yeah, I guess I can.
When this comes out, I'm gonnapour some wine.

Speaker 1 (47:01):
Okay, so can you talk about this new event situation?

Speaker 2 (47:04):
so our new event, we're gonna do what we are gonna
call aura and it will be at themost newest club in haw, which
is Eve.
We're going to take over Fridaynights at Eve, me Level H,
which is Hanson, and GoldenChild, which is Ryan.

(47:24):
I get to work with my littlebrother again, because he's not
86 from this club yet.
Hoppa will be our resident DJevery Friday.
We're going to start on the daywe get back from our
snowboarding trip on the 7thVery nice, very, very nice.

(47:45):
Have you been to Eve yet?

Speaker 1 (47:47):
I haven't been to Eve yet.
I'm surprised he wasn't 86 fromthis club yet.

Speaker 2 (47:52):
I'm just kidding, he almost did his first night there
club.
Yet I'm just kidding, he almostdid his first night there.
We I making our deal with theowners, I had to put in our deal
that hoppa was our dj becausehe got into it the owners on his
birthday when he uh dj'd therein october.

Speaker 1 (48:10):
Okay, so, like you know, I've heard all these
stories about Hoppe and abouthim getting 86 from certain
clubs, and I didn't see it inreal life until I saw it once,
and it was about the Eagles.
It was about the Eagles, whichI know he's just insufferable
now.

(48:30):
But I just know he'sinsufferable, but I saw that and
I was like this is about theEagles.
You're making this big dealabout the Eagles, Are you
serious?
But anyway, no, no, I'm, I'm.
I'm happy for you.
Congratulations on Eve and Ihope Friday nights are
successful.
I mean, I'll do what I can topromote it.

(48:50):
I'm not going to be in Hawaiianymore, but yeah.

Speaker 2 (48:53):
And when you visit then you can come check us out.
We were I, for me personally, Iwas kind of enjoying being done
with it, I'm, I was kind ofokay, I'm, my time is done.
Promoting and.
I'm cool with it and this, thisopportunity came up and the
ability to work with the peopleI want to work with one more
time um with Hanson and Taylorand Ryan, but especially to have

(49:18):
one more go at it with withthat group, I think for me is
what got me to want to do it onemore time, and we'll see how
this goes, and this willprobably be our last or my last
weekly event.
Hanson kind of said the samething too, but, um, I think for

(49:39):
me as a promoter, my, my time iskind of on the back end and and
I'm cool with it.

Speaker 1 (49:44):
I don't want to keep promoting until aria can
actually get into these clubs oh, that would suck for her.

Speaker 2 (49:53):
but she, she would want, she would not have fun,
she can drink water sit in thecorner and not talk to anybody.

Speaker 1 (50:03):
I know, I already know I already know, I already
know you would be so hovering,oh my God.
You're already hovering now Ialready know, so are you going
to make you know?
My question is are you going tomake Aria a part of your
wedding?

Speaker 2 (50:15):
she actually was uh asked by sasha to be her maid of
honor or matron of honor maidof honor, matron of honor, one
matron is when you're married.
Made okay, made of honor, yeahand she was to the moon like she
was picking out her dress andlike this yeah, it's, it was a

(50:38):
thing.
Yeah, sasha made like a littlebox for her and she opened it
yeah, so it was yeah she's,she's stoked, and my biggest
part was, uh, when I had to tellher that I was going to propose
and for me, I was super nervous, so I took her to Disneyland.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
That's where I did it , but um by the way, whenever
you come to Disneyland, pleaselet me know, cause like I can
drive there now.

Speaker 2 (51:08):
Oh, yeah, it might be in June.
Um, okay, yeah.
But so I I asked her andhonestly, she could have 86, the
whole fucking thing.
If she said no, I don't wantthat, then well, sasha's out of
luck, man, I'm not gettingmarried.
So she, it was all on her.

(51:29):
You know what I mean.
But the first thing she saidwhen I told her I said, oh,
daddy's going to propose AuntieSasha, and she said what, that
wedding is going to be the mostfunnest wedding ever.
And I was like, okay, we'regood, like, and I did it at the
hotel when we were at disneylandand then that, like that, that
was kind of my trip for multiplereasons.

(51:52):
One, she was, uh, turned, shewas a teenager and I had to let
go of her being a little kid.
It was just me and her, thattrip, and I had to tell her that
I was proposing.
So for me that trip was veryimportant and it was how she

(52:13):
found out and she's been supersupportive of it.
And when Sasha asked her andshe didn't really understand
what a bridesmaid was and shekind of did her little research
or whatever and like, she's likeso stoked.
It's kind of cool.

Speaker 1 (52:31):
I was my sister's maid of honor and it was so much
fun, it's such an honor.
I was my brother's best man, soI've been on both sides.
I I've been on both.
I've been a bridesmaid too aswell, and it's it's so much fun,
and dressing up and putting onmakeup and just doing that whole
process is so much fun.

Speaker 2 (52:46):
I didn't think she was gonna say anything
differently, because it seemslike her and sasha have a great
relationship yeah, yeah, it wasjust um, I the whole thing like
with when, like we're start,we're adding somebody else to
our family, and yeah it was.
It was just like I didn't.

(53:07):
I thought it would go okay, butI did feel like it could have
went like, oh, like she mighthave been a little standoffish
about it, or like feeling somekind of way, but yeah, it worked
out how long were you withsasha before you proposed and
were you getting pressure topropose?

(53:27):
oh yeah, I was getting pressure,and the more pressure I got,
the more I pushed it back,because fucking nobody's gonna
make me do something like I was.
I was down to do it earlier.
Then, oh, when are you gonna doit?
You should do it now.
I was, I was down to do itearlier than.
Oh, when are you gonna do it?
You should do it now.
I say, okay, now you're gonnafucking make her wait because I
think eight years, six years,six years, eight years, I don't

(53:49):
know a while yeah okay but, see,I was married before.
You know know what I mean.
So it's like yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (53:57):
Can I ask a personal question?

Speaker 2 (53:59):
Are you down to?
Have more kids with Sasha, it'sgoing to happen for sure, going
to start all over again.

Speaker 1 (54:08):
Damn, you said that so fast yeah.

Speaker 2 (54:11):
I'm not a guess.
Honestly, to my surprise, whenI thought about it and I, I, if
I could have a choice, I wouldwant another daughter, which I
didn't think when I first washaving a child, I wanted a son
and then I had Aria, but becauseof Aria I would want another

(54:32):
daughter, I think.
I would want another daughter.

Speaker 1 (54:36):
I think my dad has two girls.
Well, he has two girls and aboy, but Lord knows that Becky
Mitz is the light of dad's life.
So 100%.

Speaker 2 (54:46):
I would bank on that.
Yeah, your siblings don't havea chance.

Speaker 1 (54:53):
I have, like several friends who have had babies
right, and one of my friends,gender reveal, was disappointed
to have a girl and I told herboyfriend I think fiance now I
was like bro, I am the light ofmy dad's life like you I was
like having a daughter is thebest thing ever.

(55:13):
And then now you know thebaby's one years old and they
it's definitely like the lightof their life and I was like I
know this Having a girl is thebest, so.
I'm not surprised by that.

Speaker 2 (55:25):
Yeah, I was kind of surprised because I always
wanted a boy and now, if I were,I would, if I had a choice, I
would pick a girl.

Speaker 1 (55:35):
Yeah, heaven knows, the earth doesn't need another
boy, thaddeus, running around.
You're the most I told you.
You're one of my mostsupportive friends.
You know, you're always there,super reliable, you always
include me at the Superbowlparty.
You invited me to the Superbowlparty, which I didn't tell
anybody.
I was in Vegas, so I had todecline.

(55:59):
Yeah, by the time this comesout, it's fine, but at the time
I didn't tell anybody because Iwas like I didn't tell anybody
because I knew I was going tomove to San Diego and I didn't
want people to be like, oh myGod, you should be saving money
and not going to Vegas andboyfriend, but whatever, I did
it anyway.

Speaker 2 (56:18):
No, regrets, of course, yep, no regrets.
Quest successful.
Oh my God, I'm so sorry, I'm sosorry.

Speaker 1 (56:26):
It's the white wine or something.
But yeah, no, I didn't knowthat you were, like you know,
ready to have or not.
Not ready, but like, open tohaving more kids, and I love
that.
I'm super excited.
Well, first of all, let me justsay I'm excited to MC your

canceled all of my gigs exceptfor yours that's the only one I
did, oh yeah, one and like twogigs I didn't cancel and I I

I felt like I was an invite,like I I'm working, but I felt

(57:37):
like I was a guest, yeah, you'dbe here anyway regardless, yeah.

So, yeah, okay, let's do that.
I'm glad that like yeah, cause,like you know, leaving Hawaii is
tough but, having a man thatlives in Vegas and then living
in San Diego makes it a littlebit easier, because everybody
wants to visit either.

Vegas.

Yes, is he one of Aria'scoaches?

Speaker 2 (01:03:51):
Yeah, I know you guys are friends.

Speaker 1 (01:03:52):
The reason we became friends is because I spilt so
much at Friendsgiving that heended up being one of the people
that just heard all thisbullshit that I had to say.

Speaker 2 (01:04:04):
Oh, that Jordan Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:04:06):

Speaker 1 (01:04:10):
Yeah no, he came to Friendsgiving.

Speaker 2 (01:04:12):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (01:04:13):
And he kind of just like got like emotionally dumped
by me.

Speaker 2 (01:04:17):
Like I just dumped a bunch of like a bunch of shit
that was up well, mostly becauseat friendsgiving I was so drunk
which I was so embarrassed bybut I was I was so drunk, just
sharing way too much informationthat was a random night in so
many different ways, like I havea picture that I cannot explain
and I could not have predictedwould have happened.

(01:04:41):
And it was on the bed withthree people.

Speaker 1 (01:04:47):
That was was I there yes, you were part of the
picture I remember now what's abed with three girls.

Speaker 2 (01:04:57):
That's a lot of men's fantasy yeah, but who the girls
were on that bed?
It was just like, oh shit, thisis fucking different.
I didn't expect that to happenfor certain people to show up.

Speaker 1 (01:05:16):
I didn't expect certain people to show up.

Speaker 2 (01:05:17):
I didn't expect certain people to show up that
day is that person back inhawaii?
Um was and then moved back, orshe, she moved, she's moving.
Okay, she just had to come backfor uh to get her stuff.
I guess, I don't know yeah ohyeah, I frick, I know all about

(01:05:38):
that, I got so much shit, yeah,so get back to your story like,
since you figured out you'regonna move, what were the, what
was the process of, what wasgonna happen next?
What happened next?

Speaker 1 (01:05:51):
so, luckily, this condo is owned by my parents and
I, so we can rent this out.
Yeah, so it's not too bad.
It's not like I had to break alease or anything, so a lot of
this stuff is going to stay here.
It's up to my parents what theywant to do with it, if they
want to get rid of stuff, ifthey want to redo stuff in this
apartment, it's up to them.

Speaker 2 (01:06:10):
Oh, that's perfect, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:06:12):
So in terms of like, oh, you got to make sure it's
like clean, get your depositback, I don't have to worry
about any of that.
Nice, yeah, so that's beengreat.
I did find an apartment in SanDiego, which is awesome.
It has a basketball court,which, if you know anything
about me, I love basketball, soI'm definitely going to be
taking advantage of that.
It's pet friendly.

(01:06:33):
Yeah, it's pet friendly.
Um, yeah, so right now I'vejust been kind of like deciding
what I want to take with meimmediately, and then there's
some other stuff that I'm likemaybe I'll take it with me later
on, so here I can show you, butlike, okay, so I have like,
this box is going to go instorage for now, and then I have
all these boxes over here thatmaybe I'll take with me.

(01:06:57):
That's a donation box right here.
Uh, this suitcase I'm takingwith me, um, and yeah, just kind
of just figuring out what I'mgonna do and what I'm gonna take
and all that fun stuff.
And it's been stressful, thatis super stressful.
I have to deal with shipping mycar, so I have to you know I'm
shipping my car.

(01:07:18):
There's so much paperworkinvolved with shipping your car.
And then when I called toschedule my appointment, they
were like we can't do the daythat you have to do so.
My brother is going to drop offthe car.
And then I had to get a form tomake sure my brother could drop
off the car.
It's just been, it's been a lot.
It's been a lot, it's been alot.
How long does it take to getthere?

(01:07:38):
It's gonna take a while, atleast a couple of weeks.
So, okay, hopefully I figureout some sort of solution in
terms of getting to work andback.
So we get there on the 27th inthe morning, we move in on the
27th.
So, like the timing worked outperfectly, um, I move in on the
27th, so like the timing workedout perfectly, um and moving on
the 27th, so I'll probably just,you know, bring all the

(01:07:58):
suitcases over there, all myclothes, and then we'll probably
go furniture shopping is myguess yeah um, and then my
parents leave.
On the fourth okay, my firstday is on the third girls day
okay, nice yeah, how did you?

Speaker 2 (01:08:15):
find the apartment.
Have you like physically beenin it or you just I?

Speaker 1 (01:08:19):
haven't, which is a risk, bro, it's a fucking risk.
But I had to do what I had todo, like I knew I had to move
fast.
I consulted with quite a fewpeople I know who have lived in
san diego, are from san diego,currently living in San Diego.
I have several people I knowand they kind of told me the
areas to avoid.

(01:08:39):
I have a cousin that lives inSan Diego.
I have a couple of cousins, soI have a cousin that lives like
close to San Diego I think he'slike an hour away and then I
have another cousin that livesin San Diego and they kind of
like helped me with certainareas that I should avoid.
I did a lot of research onwhere to live and read a lot of
Yelp reviews, google reviews,apartmentcom reviews.

(01:09:01):
Yeah, I did a lot of research.
So I'm going to be livingdowntown, I'll leave it at that
so nobody stalks me.
But you know, it's so funny.
You say that is my dad textedme the other day.
He goes oh, oh, can you call so?
And so he knows law enforcementin san diego.
I was like dad, I'm 30, I'm 30,dad, I don't need that, I'm not

(01:09:22):
going back to college, I'm afull grown adult like I.
But he's like can you just callthem because they know law
enforcement in san diego?
And so I called this gentleman.
I don't even know what he doesfor a living.
I have no idea he could be.
He could be a goon for all Iknow.
I have no idea, but he could bethe one stalking you he was
like oh, I know several peoplein san diego.

(01:09:43):
Like we're gonna, you know,since your parents are gonna be
up there, we're gonna set up ameeting with them.
I'm like, oh, my god, like Idon't need any of this shit, but
I haven't told my dad that Ihave a boyfriend.
So, like I I think if Isomebody was telling me, you
should tell him, so he feelsmore like secure, like yeah,
you're, especially since he'slike yeah, especially since he's

(01:10:06):
like six, two muscular, halfblack, half white, like I like
it's.
He's gonna be a bit more of aprotector than some of these
other men I've dated in the past, lord some dj, dj never mind,
listen, listen, it's been, it'sbeen fine, it's been fine.
I don't regret any of my pastdecisions, but I think he'll

(01:10:30):
feel a little more secure.
Knowing that there's somebodywho's like a bit more of a
protector than anybody that I'vedated gonna make him feel a
little bit better, even thoughhe doesn't live in San Diego,
like still, I think it'll makehim feel, yeah, I think a lot of
like, a lot of.
The reason why my dad feels theway that, or treats me the way
that he does, is because hefeels like I'm all alone and I'm

(01:10:52):
not yeah and not just in arelationship aspect, but in a
friendship aspect, like I couldcall you, I could call Chris,
you know I.
There's so many people I couldcall at the drop of a dime.
Who, would, you know, supportme?

Speaker 2 (01:11:06):
so.

Speaker 1 (01:11:06):
I'm not.

Speaker 2 (01:11:07):
I'm not truly alone you know what I mean.
Yeah, and it's a five hourflight.
It's not like you're in NewYork and shit.

Speaker 1 (01:11:14):
Yeah yeah, and they do a lot of direct uh, direct
flights to san diego.
So yeah, it'll, it'll.
I hope you visit, oh for sureyeah okay, good yeah I mean, I
don't know anything about legoland, but yeah, but I mean, oh

(01:11:35):
my god niners will play Chargerseventually.

Speaker 2 (01:11:38):
Oh, that's in LA though, that's right.

Speaker 1 (01:11:40):
Yeah, well, I mean, I could still make the drive.

Speaker 2 (01:11:43):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:11:44):
I can still make the drive, let me see, I know Hanson
likes San Diego.

Speaker 2 (01:11:48):
He got some connections there too.

Speaker 1 (01:11:50):
Oh does he.
Yeah, I love Hanson.

Speaker 2 (01:11:53):
Yeah, and then.
So you're going to move yourcar, you got your apartment, you
got your job.

Speaker 1 (01:12:02):
Um, what I wanted to two hour drive to SoFi stadium.
I would do it for you.

Speaker 2 (01:12:08):
All right, it's not bad to wear red, though.

Speaker 1 (01:12:11):
I'll do it.

Speaker 2 (01:12:12):
I'll do it.
But if anything I'll fly Well,guarantee If you go to.

Speaker 1 (01:12:18):
San Francisco, I'll fly.

Speaker 2 (01:12:20):
Okay, well, I guarantee you're going to do
that, but I wanted to go to SoFiand Niners will play there
every single year because weplay the Rams twice because
they're in our division.
So one is in San Francisco, onewill be at SoFi every, every
single year.

Speaker 1 (01:12:37):
Yeah, yeah, so whichever one you do like I
would love to make that perfect.
Yeah, it's way cheaper, it'sway cheaper than it is to fly
like from hawaii.
So I would.
It would be you know easy, easyfor me anyway.
What were you saying?

Speaker 2 (01:12:49):
I'm sorry um other than like friends and family and
all that kind of stuff.
What will be the three thingsthat you're gonna miss from

zippies and that's not sponsored, I'll miss zippies
a lot, don't they have zippiesa lot oh, it was in vegas.

Speaker 2 (01:13:12):
Oh yeah, so when I visit my.
When I visit my boyfriend, Ican go to Vegas, but okay,
that's the first time I heardyou say that it's official.

Speaker 1 (01:13:21):
All right.
Somebody actually bagged me.
Um, no, yeah, so when I go toVegas I'll go, for sure.
I'm hoping they still keep meon as an ambassador.

Speaker 2 (01:13:32):
Cause maybe I can be.

Speaker 1 (01:13:33):
I can be a Vegas ambassador, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:13:36):

Speaker 1 (01:13:38):
You were there when they opened, right, I was, and
they're opening another location, so I would love to be a Vegas
ambassador.
If anybody's watching, allright.
That's a true, genuinestatement.
I'll miss Zippy's Friends andfamily is the toughest part.
I'll miss the culture as well.

(01:14:01):
You know I I don't sound like alocal girl, but I but I am one
yeah.
I am one at heart and in my soul, so I will miss that aspect of
kind of like.
You know, just like like Hawaii, people are so different from
any other culture, like I wentto college in Portland, it's so
different from anywhere else.

(01:14:22):
So I'm going to miss that kindof environment.
I'm going to miss knowing whereeverything is.
Diego, I'm going to have to mapeverything out.
So I think that's going to bethe three main things that I'll
miss the most.
But I mean, number one isfamily, and friends is number
one by far.

(01:14:42):
No-transcript.
I was like starting to crythinking about it, like and.
I'm going to be, you know Icause he right now he only lives
like five minutes down the roadfor me, and even my sister too,
only like seven minutes downthe road.

(01:15:04):
So, like, that's going to bereally hard.
Leaving my parents is going tobe really hard, like especially,
I mean my mom's going to missme, but leaving my dad is going
to be really hard.
That's going to be really hardfor me.
But they, when I did thatinterview in San Diego, I called

(01:15:24):
all of them, I called mybrother, I called my sister, I
called my dad, I called mymother, all separately and they
all said amongst the same thingof that we support you, we know
this is your passion, we knowthis is what's in your heart and
we support you.
We know this is your passion,we know this is what's in your
heart and we love you.
But my dad especially, likemostly because he financially

(01:15:45):
provides, but but I, you know,like I guess because I have so
much respect for him and so muchlove for him say like really
makes an effect on me and he waskind of like the determining
factor of him being like we loveyou, like we'll support you,
we're gonna take care of you nomatter what, and not really like

(01:16:05):
.
I would not and you'll hear thisat the goodbye party, you'll
hear this at the at the goingaway party but I would not be
able to do it without him.
Like I mean both my, both myparents, both of my parents, but
especially my dad.
I would not be able to do itwithout him.
Like I mean both my, both myparents, both of my parents, but
especially my dad.
I would not be able to do itwithout him.
I I would not if he did not sayI'm gonna support you.
I would not be able to do it.

(01:16:26):
There's no way.

Speaker 2 (01:16:28):
And so I have a lot of gratitude and you'll get this
, because I know you'll do thesame for aria oh, yeah, yeah,
like what you just said yeahwhen you just said, like your
parents, like your dad's goingup there because you're moving,
like you were being in college,I was like fuck, I'd be, just
I'd be doing the same thing.
If aria is moving to themainland, I'm definitely going

(01:16:50):
to help her.
Like yeah yeah, yeah, I'm gonnahave to prep for that.
I was just telling her today,today, because I make her
breakfast every morning andshe's like Dad, if you want to
sleep in a little bit more, Ican just get breakfast at school
and I'm like no way.
I have three more years to makeyou breakfast every morning and

(01:17:13):
after that three years you'regoing to go to college and I'm
going gonna want to makebreakfast for you every morning
and you won't be here.
So I don't give a shit if Igotta wake up two hours early
like I'm down to do it, likethose moments are priceless for
me and it's something that she'sgonna remember forever, like
every time she has breakfast,she's gonna remember I made it

(01:17:33):
for every, every morning, andyeah, oh yeah, but it was that
she was trying to get me moresleep, but yeah, I don't care
about that.

Speaker 1 (01:17:44):
Like I remember my grandpa making breakfast for me
when I was in elementary school.
Be at a sausage.
She's made me French toast,regular toast.
What else would he make?
Sometimes I would eat Cheerios.
I remember all of those momentswith my grandpa.
And then I remember thosemoments with my dad as well of
my dad.
My dad didn't necessarily havethe time to make breakfast, but

(01:18:05):
he would take me in the morning,so it would alternate between
mcdonald's breakfast or a coffeebean and tea leaf breakfast oh
yeah, he used to get me yeah, heused to get me a cinnamon
raisin bagel with doublestrawberry cream cheese.
See what I mean.
Like I'll never forget it yeah,but also like everyone who
knows me knows my dad spoils mea little more than everybody

(01:18:28):
else.
But to be fair, I'm his baby.
I'm his baby, like my brotherwas telling me.
He was like Beck dad is gonnamiss you me.
He was like Beck dad is goingto miss you a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:18:38):
He was like, like.
I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:18:40):
I mean, he has my sister, I think, because my
sister's here and she'sestablished a life here, he
doesn't really have to likethink about that.
But I've always expressed andyou know this too, you, you've
told me this that I'm meant forsomething bigger than Hawaii,
like a hundred percent yeah.
So they 100%.
Yeah, so they, you know, theyknown that too.
So he is known.

(01:19:03):
You're meant for bigger thanthis, like you've always meant
to be growing into a biggerspace.
And so he knew.
He knew that was inevitable.

Speaker 2 (01:19:11):
And so.

Speaker 1 (01:19:11):
I mean it's going to be hard, it's going to be hard,
it's going to be hard.
Well, I didn't cry at collegebecause I always knew I was
coming back yeah yeah is like amI ever coming back?
You know what my brother saidwhen I told my brother about my
boyfriend that lives in vegas?
My brother goes fuck, you'renever coming back yeah, vegas,

(01:19:32):
yeah, I was like look never, saynever.
But in the line of work, likeokay, and I, I'm going to say it
like this I don't get into arelationship unless I think
long-term.

Speaker 2 (01:19:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:19:47):
I just don't think you should Like, if you don't
think long-term with the personthat you're in a relationship
with, you shouldn't be in arelationship with them in
general.
So when I'm thinking long-term,like in the line of work that
he does, it would be very hardto do that in hawaii.
And then the same thing with me, for that matter, being on a
morning show in hawaii is kindof like the highest you can go

(01:20:08):
besides being a program director.
Maybe it'll happen, maybe itwon't.
Yeah, so like even for me thatI I kind of went the highest
that I could go.

Speaker 2 (01:20:19):
So yeah, but it's talking to jimmy the geek.
He left and he came back forradio and like he's running the
show that he used to listen toin the morning, going to school
with the same dude that I usedto listen to.

Speaker 1 (01:20:36):
Yeah jimmy is a champ I love jimmy the geek.

Speaker 2 (01:20:40):
Yeah, I loved everybody that I worked with.

Speaker 1 (01:20:42):
Yeah, yeah I loved everybody that I worked with.

Speaker 2 (01:20:45):
How was that um podcast, by the way it was fun I
I was a fan of him from when wewere, when I was young local
boys yeah, yeah race, race babyon here huh you should have ryan
on here I will.
Yeah, I want to.
I I don't know him personally,I don't think.

Speaker 1 (01:21:04):
Yeah, I met him a couple times, yeah I think he
would be so down to do it.

Speaker 2 (01:21:08):
He's so funny and ryan is another one that I mean,
they've both been supportive.

Speaker 1 (01:21:13):
they've both been supportive of me in my career,
but Ryan especially when itcomes to my creative endeavors,
he's always been supersupportive.

Speaker 2 (01:21:21):
What are they doing now?

Speaker 1 (01:21:23):
Ryan is doing stocks and he's still doing trading and
stuff like that.
Sam is doing some sort ofaudio-visual thing.
I'm not 100% sure, but they'reboth doing well.
They were both super supportiveof my decision and I told them
Before it was announced Toeverybody else.
Actually, I told quite a fewpeople Before it was announced.

Speaker 2 (01:21:49):
I know, when you came out with the video Announcing
like I'm moving to San Diego,I'm like, didn't you fucking
tell me that Like a month ago?
Oh, she didn't tell everybody,she didn't put it out there you
know why?

Speaker 1 (01:22:02):
because I, I like I don't want to sound like an
asshole, but there are a fewpeople that I might have like
forgotten to invite to the goingaway party or something you
know what I mean like, and Ijust wanted to make sure that
anybody who I wanted to saygoodbye to knew with enough time
so, yeah, no, it was.

(01:22:22):
I had to make that video and ittook me 45 minutes to make that
two minute video.

Speaker 2 (01:22:30):
By the way, got to do it right, though you have to do
it right.
It was perfect, though yeah,I'm glad.

Speaker 1 (01:22:37):
I'm glad my mom said she liked it.

Speaker 2 (01:22:38):
So and what you said, even when you made the sad
video.
It's you're getting Becky Mix,You're not getting the showman
or the representative.

Speaker 1 (01:22:53):
You're getting the real Becky Mix.
Somebody gave me really goodadvice, somebody who was in the
radio industry, and he said youdon't have to tell them
everything, but you can be.
You can still be honest aboutsome things and so, like, for
example, my relationship.
I'm going to keep that asprivate as I can, but I still

(01:23:14):
I'm comfortable enough sharingthat I'm in one, if that makes
sense yeah, yeah like it's notsomething I want to post about.
You know why?
Because I feel like sometimesrelationships on social media,
especially for someone who's acontent creator like me, can
kind of get lost in translationand it can kind of like it can
kind of turn into a like, ashowmanship, like, oh I'm I like

(01:23:35):
I can get kind of flat.
I just I really like care aboutthis, so I want to make sure
that I take care of it more thanI do want to post it on social
media.
I think in previousrelationships I've been like
okay, I want to show people thatI'm not single, I want to show
people that I have a boyfriend,I want to show people that I'm
wanted.
And now I'm like I'm secureenough where I'm like I know

(01:23:59):
that I'm wanted.
And now I'm like I'm secureenough where I'm like I know
that that's happening for me, soI don't feel the need to have
to prove it to anybody else.
Yeah, exactly, that's right,yeah, right.
But at the same time, I'vealways been about transparency.
I've always been about beingopen and when it came to I'm
going to tell you why I made thevideos that I did.

(01:24:20):
I cannot stand when people willpost super ambiguous
announcements and then everybodyis like asking oh, what
happened, I wonder.
I'm going to give you anexample.
I will call out Sam and Ryanfor this.
I'll tell them this to theirface.
I will call out Sam and Ryanfor this.
I'll tell them this to theirface.
Their post about them leavingthe radio station was so

(01:24:41):
ambiguous.
Everybody and their mom calledme.
What happened to Sam and Ryan?
I was getting calls on the air.
What happened to them, can youtell us?
And I was like that's none ofmy business.
What they decide to say, that'snone of my business.
It's their business.
And after that situation I waslike I'm just going to tell
people straight up what the fuckis happening.
Like here's what's happening.

(01:25:01):
I got my goal.

Speaker 2 (01:25:04):
That's what's happening.

Speaker 1 (01:25:05):
Then you didn't have to worry about answering all
that shit.

Speaker 2 (01:25:08):
Just watch the video again if you don't understand.

Speaker 1 (01:25:11):
Exactly, and it does feel a little bit like an
asshole of being like, oh, like,what makes you think that
people care about what you'redoing?

Speaker 2 (01:25:20):
But no, people don't care People wouldn't, follow you
.
People wouldn't follow you ifthey didn't, or they wouldn't be
fans of you if they didn't Likefans from your work that you
were doing.
You created fans.
People love to listen to you.
So people connected to youevery single morning and you

(01:25:43):
became part of their life, theirmorning ritual, their drive to
work, their start of the day.
So when something gets changed,they're like connected to,
they're gonna want to know.
Yeah, and you have fans.
That that's just the, that'sjust the bottom line.
You have fans, so because ofthat, they're gonna want to know
it.

(01:26:03):
So it's not like you'reconceited to think like, oh,
people want to know what I'mdoing.
Yes, they fucking do.
So you gotta tell them, becauseyou created a situation where
you have fans and fans are goingto want to know who's, what's
happening to the people thatthey're fans of.

Speaker 1 (01:26:24):
So, yeah, Fans feels like, oh man, it's always made
me.
The term fans has always mademe feel uncomfortable.
Well, friends, Friends, whichis why I always use the term
friends and I always use theterm your friend becky mitts,
because I never feel like I'mabove you.
I feel like I'm your, I'm yourcolleague, I'm your person.

Speaker 2 (01:26:44):
Okay that makes sense .
Yeah, there are people who I'mlike you're not my friend yeah,
you probably got a bunch of themnot a bunch, not a bunch.

Speaker 1 (01:26:54):
But there are people who I'm like we're not friends
but, um, for the most part, likea listener who listens to the
show.
I don't think of you as a fan.
I think of you as a friend,because you have to be a friend
to be supporting me in that way.
Yeah, so like that's how I'vealways felt.
I've always like I've neverfelt like you're a fan, like I

(01:27:17):
just I just never felt that way.
I'm I'm always like, genuinelyso grateful for people who do
listen and people who do watch,and the video that I posted.
It was like it was a great wayfor me to answer a ton of
questions at once yeah, becausethey were going to figure out
like why are you living in SanDiego?
like what are you doing, whatyou're doing?
So it was a great way for me tokind of answer all those

(01:27:40):
questions at once.
I'm going to tell you right nowI'm leaving crave, I'm telling
you when I'm leaving crave andI'm telling you why I'm leaving
crave and what's happening andwhere I'm going.
Like I'm not about to beambiguous, ambiguous about the
whole situation and plus now.

Speaker 2 (01:27:55):
Now, if people ask you, you can just send them the
link to that video I mean I'vedone that before.

Speaker 1 (01:28:03):
When people have asked me about sam and ryan,
they've been like, oh, whathappened with sam and ryan?
And I'm like I just sent himthe link.
I'm like listen, it's reallynone of my business to tell you,
like, what's happening withthem.
Or oh, I'm sorry god I'm sosorry, that's what happens when
I'm carrying a dog at the sametime.
Yeah, so like, even when itcame to sam and ryan, I was like
uh, you can ask them yourselfbecause, uh, it's none of my,

(01:28:26):
it's really not my business toshare it's yeah, for sure yeah,
it's not my business to sharelike it's their business about
what they want to say because,from what I understood, when
they got let go they didn't wantto tell people they got let go.
They kind of wanted to keep itlike ambiguous in terms of maybe
we left on our own terms maybewe got let go yeah, and so they

(01:28:48):
kind of wanted to keep thatambiguous and so I wanted to
make sure that they had the Ihope they cut that out, cause my
outfit from the bottom down isnot great the I respected, like
I respected their decision ofhow they wanted to tell people.

(01:29:08):
So when people would call me, Iwould just say, like, go to
their posts, ask them yourself,cause it's really none of my
business.
But when it came to me, you can.
You can ask me anything youwant.
Want.
Now, what I, what I answer withor don't answer with, is kind
of up to me.
yeah same thing with them youknow, yeah um, so that's why my
videos are so transparent andthey're so open is because I

(01:29:30):
just, I just rather not dealwith the questions.
But I also don't want you tothink that I think I'm so like,
oh like people want to know allthis about me.

Speaker 2 (01:29:39):
It's just like I'd just rather answer all the
questions right here, right now,and get it over with but you
know, like I said, people dowant to know and that's that
that shows, and I am excited tosee how your career takes off
and how you handle this new joband what heights you're gonna

(01:30:01):
reach.
And I think this is stillanother stepping stone.
It is saying your end goal yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:30:10):
We'll see.
You know how.
I'll do my best you know howI'll do my best.

Speaker 2 (01:30:16):
And I think you're to have a lot of fun.
You're going to experience awhole new lifestyle.
It takes a lot of guts to beton yourself and move your whole
life to chase after your dream,and a lot of people don't have
that strength.
So props to you, because itain't easy and, like you're,

(01:30:40):
you're moving, you're doing allthis for for your dream and fuck
, that's fucking cool, likethat's super cool, and a lot of
people can't and a lot of peoplewon't and a lot of people
aren't strong enough to andthat's never been your, your
flaw, you know, you know what Imean.

Speaker 1 (01:30:58):
My dad told me this I've been telling a lot of
people this, which is the truth,but my dad told me this, which
is number one I'm I mean I'msingle, like where I'm not
married, I don't have childrenand I don't really you know what
I mean Like I don't really havelike anybody that I have to
like move with me to San Diego.
Two my dad told me this Beck,if you never take a chance now,

(01:31:21):
you'll never take a chance everagain in your life.

Speaker 2 (01:31:23):
You're still young.

Speaker 1 (01:31:25):
Yeah, he's like you're still young.
You know you still got all thistime.
You don't want to not take thischance and then, 10 years from
now, be like I should have.
What would happen to my life ifI did take that chance?
He's like you don't want tothink that.
Yeah so it was just everythingworked out the way it did and I

(01:31:47):
I it was going to sound crazy,but I knew it was going to like.
I knew my life was going tochange.
I knew it was.
I just didn't know how it wasgoing to change.

Speaker 2 (01:31:53):
I knew it was, I just didn't know how it was going to
change, but I knew it was yeah,and I knew it too, and I knew,
like I knew that something goodwas gonna come from all this,
and but you always told me, likeyou know in, in conversations
over the phone and in person,you've always said like I think
you're meant for something morethan hawaii, bigger than hawaii.

Speaker 1 (01:32:14):
Like I believe, like you've all.

Speaker 2 (01:32:16):
You've always said that so I said that to Taylor
too, so he got to get the fuckout of here too he will.
He will with time, with timeyep, but yeah, I'm I'm
interested to see the the umlevels you reach and yeah, it'll
be cool.
Hawaii is always home and Alohayou can always bring, so it'll

(01:32:42):
be cool and we're all Cominghome.

Speaker 1 (01:32:45):
Obviously I'll keep coming home.
Whenever you're in Vegas or inAnaheim, I'll be there.

Speaker 2 (01:32:52):
For sure, and yeah, it'll be cool and I think, yeah,
you're gonna appreciate Hawaiimore, course, when you're not,
yeah, definitely.

Speaker 1 (01:33:04):
Every time I was in the mainland, like living there.
When I was in college, when Iwas doing the Disney college
program, I always like missed orI missed home.
To a certain extent, I missedhome.
To a certain extent, I alwaysrepresented home.

Speaker 2 (01:33:23):
Even the stuff that I packed.

Speaker 1 (01:33:25):
I was like okay, I want to pack things that remind
me of home.

Speaker 2 (01:33:27):
Speaking of packing, how are you bringing all those
boxes?
Are you going to put?

Speaker 1 (01:33:31):
it in a container.
For the most part, I'm going tobe taking suitcases.
In terms of these boxes, I'mprobably just going to ask my
parents to ship it.
Okay, to be honest, um, butit's not a rush.
All I, all these items I packedin boxes are not rush like, for
example, this box right here isnot a rush okay my backpack is

(01:33:52):
in there just because it was onmy chair originally, but this is
a rush.
So all the clothes that are inthere is not a rush, it's like I
want them, I want to take themwith me, but it's not a rush to
like have them with meimmediately.
So everything that I've beenpacking in my suitcases is like
things that I want immediately,that I want in my apartment
right away, and I already setaside like clothes and items to

(01:34:16):
put in my carry on because I'mgoing to have to take my dogs
with me.
So I have like a.
I'll show you, hang on, I havetwo dog carriers because I have
two dogs and I'm getting I'mgetting them used to this.
Oh my God, why is this?
on my ear, I have this purpleone here.

(01:34:36):
Ok, I have this purple one here, oh, okay, and I have this pink
one here Getting them ready,for that's going to be my
personal item or my mom'spersonal item, oh nice, and then
I'm going to take a carry-onwith me.
So the night that I get in orthe day that I get in, it's
going to be an Airbnb, and thenI move in that the day that I

(01:34:57):
get in it's going to be anairbnb and then I move in that
same day.
So, like, probably later on inthe day we'll grab the keys and
then we'll kind of go from there, but I'm not gonna have a bed
right away, so like, oh yeahjust stay in the airbnb for it,
like all I need is a bed.
To be honest, all I need is abed.
Everything else can come withtime.
The couch, every everythingelse can come with time.
I just need a bed to sleep atleast they have ikea in the

(01:35:19):
mainland.
They don't have that shit hereI know that's exactly where
we're going.
We're going to ikea yeah, getthe meatballs that's where we
went for college too.

Speaker 2 (01:35:27):
Yeah, yeah, totally just uh, my advice for you is
label all those boxes, what's init, because I've moved multiple
times and I realized that wasthe biggest help.
That's a big help, like writedown, like living room shit
kitchen shit.

Speaker 1 (01:35:44):
Shout out to Goodwill .
Goodwill is getting half of mystuff.
So shout out to Goodwill,you're getting half of my stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:35:54):
Well, I know you got to get back to your packing and
we've been going for an hour anda half and I probably could
talk to you for another two morehours and I know it's gonna be.
For me personally it's gonnasuck that you're not here, but
it'll be a phone call away.

(01:36:14):
I'll be in the mainlandmultiple times, you'll be back
here multiple times and yougotta.

Speaker 1 (01:36:19):
I'm back for your wedding.
I will see you in April, likeyou're going to be at my going
away party.
There's going to be a lot oftimes.

Speaker 2 (01:36:25):
You're going to see me and you got to come to our
new event once you come backhere, that's for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:36:29):
Yes, yes, definitely.

Speaker 2 (01:36:32):
But, yeah, you'll, you'll be missed by a lot of us
and, um, it's always good toknow, like prior, like maybe I
don't see you as much, but atleast I know I could.
Now it's going to be like, ohfuck, now I cannot, but, um, I
wish you the best.
