(00:00):
Hey, everybody. Welcome to Poduty in the News for Saturday, October
25th. I've got a great guest joining me, Kyle Asperger.
Anarchy for a Day. We're talking MRO
podcast, the Orange Zone, Women, crime, redemption,
and 2 Jagoffs. A toast
to the thinkers, the dreamers, the pros, the stories
(00:22):
we share, the world that grows from London
to New York. The voices collide, ideas
are the fuel and truth. The guy
Jeff drops questions. Kyle brings flare.
Two storytellers with no time to spare. The
laughter's real, the inside's deep. These
(00:44):
moments are ours to keep. What
time is it? What
time is it? What
time is it? It's
time for
(01:09):
the only live news podcast about
podcasting from the stage.
The only live news podcast about podcasting
from the stage. Oh, we lost Kyle for a second. Oh, there we go.
(01:31):
Here we go. And he's back. Kyle, welcome back. Pleasure to be
here yet again. I'm trying to do too many switches. Also, I forgot my
clicker for the slides over in the. In the control room. So during
that song, I had to run back to the control room to get the clicker.
You're getting your cardio in this morning, man. I am finally, you
know, 50 years. I finally got the heart rate above 130.
(01:53):
It's pretty good. Kyle, welcome to the show.
You're called. You're two hours behind us. Tell us a
little bit about yourself, your agency, and I know I want to get into some
of those gymnastics. Oh, gosh. Well, good
morning. Good morning, Jeff. Thank you for having me. Kyle Asperger coming
in from Denver, Colorado. So
(02:15):
entrepreneurial endeavors these days, I'm a marketing coach,
actor, and voice artist. So anarchy for a day. As
Jeff just mentioned, that is the marketing coaching practice anarchy. For me,
it isn't the destroy everything, complete and utter chaos anarchy. In
my vernacular, it is a tool, when
(02:35):
applied with a bit of tact, is meant to inspire innovation so that
we can differentiate ourselves from the rest.
Awesome. A lot of times I grew up 20 years in
skateboarding, and I had a skate shop, a skate park,
and this punk rock. And I know it's a little bit different than what you're
talking about, but the skateboarding mentality, if you ever talk to somebody who skateboarded as
(02:57):
a kid, the way that you perceive the world, the way
that you see things, is just slightly different than everybody else. And that's very
freeing. And some of the mentality things that you're talking about, the
way to kind of free yourself with, you know,
don't get Locked down in this rules and the structure. There's, there's ways
to improve yourself, thinking outside the box, seeing things differently.
(03:19):
And I really like that part of the message. Well, thank you.
I agree. The basis is, okay, let's understand
the rules initially and only then can we objectively
look at whatever the idea is and whether this is business or a life
philosophy. Only then when we
see this idea objectively, then we can bring a bit of anarchy and then kind
(03:42):
of figure out, okay, well, which of these rules can we maybe kind
of fudge or break a little bit? Like that's where the innovation can
happen. Because I can almost guarantee that no innovation has ever happened
by doing what everybody else has done historically.
Yeah, we were talking backstage before the show. I'm in my full
time job, a marketing director for 15 years, and it would be easy
(04:04):
to just do what everybody does. I could have just rode the
coattails of my predecessor. I could have just followed the status
quo. But by looking at the data, by pushing
boundaries, by seeing what's possible,
I was able to build something. I grew from myself to a team of 10.
And it's that mindset and that
(04:25):
mentality that can really propel you, especially I think, in this corporate
culture where people are quick to lay off. You can find your
superpower by not necessarily not following the rules, but
expanding them a little bit, stretching them a little bit.
Absolutely could not have said it better than myself. Well, would
you like to hear what I'm going to say next? Because we're going to go
(04:47):
into our stories. There's my segue. Let's do it. We're
talking women, crime and redemption. Live from FDU
at Farleigh Dickinson University. True crime took the
stage as criminologists and podcast hosts Megan
Sachs and Amy Schlossberg recorded a live episode
of Women in Crime titled Women in Prison
(05:09):
Voices from Edna Mahan. The event, free and
open to the public, featured women formerly incarcerated at
New Jersey's embattled Edna Mahan Correctional Facility,
offering firsthand stories of survival and reform.
Known for blending psychological law and empathy, the professors
regulars on 2020 and Good Morning America used
(05:33):
the live format to shine a spotlight on injustice while
humanizing those behind the headlines. It was an evening where data
met compassion and real voices
reclaimed their stories. And
we always talk about legacy media. This seems to pop up a lot. But here's
two people who have been part of legacy media. They saw
(05:54):
what they were building there and they started to build their own thing. They came
up with their own show around a topic that they both love.
They love crime and injustice and they
brought a community together just to have the
shared moment. Because I know I live in a house, I have three women in
my house, my wife and two daughters. And crime and
(06:16):
justice are like number two
topics that they love to talk and discuss about. So this event
would be a perfect event for them if we were in this area to go
connect with like minded people, learn about these stories, and
kind of share that common connection. And a podcast like this
is a great way to bring people together.
(06:41):
People love crime and injustice, whether committing, solving,
you know, I'm not here to remark on what, but
yeah, it's a big thing these days. Yeah. And
the ability to have like a free event to the public. I didn't see if
it was at a library because we've been having a lot of events at local
libraries and it's just a way to bring the public
(07:03):
into a place. Like, we talk
about the struggle of libraries in this day and age where people are addicted to
their cell phones and streaming media. Libraries would love to
have shows like this come into their location
and really just bring the community together, bring people
in through the door, use these public facilities. And this
(07:26):
was a great event at Farleigh Dickinson. And
congratulations, Megan and Amy, for putting on this great event.
Let's go to our second story. Two
Jagoffs. That's a Pittsburgh slang for you, Kyle. A lot of Pittsburghers are known
as jagoffs or yinzers. Oh, I grew up
with a neighbor who he just. Maybe he was
(07:49):
from that general part of town, but I actually ended up
working in his warehouse. And he's like, you know, how you doing? Okay.
You know, there's a lot of jag offs over there. You just got to watch
out for yourself. So I got you. That's why we don't need real ID from
Pennsylvania. Because if you hear us say jag off or yin, they automatically
verify us as US Citizens. Yep,
(08:11):
you probably live next to a Jag off or a Pittsburgh who was also a
jag Off. He probably would have said that,
but no, he is. He's one of. Easily one of the best guys I
know. Well, this one comes to us from my alma mater, Point
Park University. And this is during the day of Giving.
And it's not every day that a podcast helps raise hundreds of thousands of
(08:32):
dollars. But that's exactly what's happening in Pittsburgh this week. The
two Jagoffs podcast is going live at Point Park University
as part of their day of giving celebration. The event kicks
off with Happy hour at 4pm featuring drinks, appetizers
and giveaways. Because nothing fuels generosity like
a good charcuterie board. Then at 5pm host
(08:55):
Austin Carnes and crew will take over the mic for a two hour live
podcast, joined by Pittsburgh community leaders and
alumni. The goal? To raise
$350,000 for student programs and
scholarships, proving once again that when Pittsburghers get together,
even podcasts can make a powerful impact. Here's a way
(09:15):
for a podcaster to not only have an event, because a lot
of times what we talk about here in our theater spaces is bringing
people together. And this is bringing people together for a
common good. We're bringing them together so that
they can raise money. I believe this goes to the day of giving
supports student programs so you can help
(09:37):
scholarships, you can help activities, you can help things in and
around the on campus at the Pittsburgh
at Point park in Pittsburgh. Here it's where I went to school, got my
bachelor's, and I got a special treat for you guys.
Future Jeff is going to interview Austin and
(09:57):
get a firsthand account of what this event is about. Kyle,
let's flip over to that future interview from Austin.
Sure. All right, we are here in the future. From this morning's
episode, I have Austin Carnes joining me from the Two Jagoffs
podcast. There's going to be a special live presentation or
a live broadcast or a live recording at where I went to college
(10:19):
25 years ago, Point Park University. And they have a very
special day coming up and I thought, oh, wouldn't it be great? We're talking about
this segment about Point Park. Austin's going to be doing his show live.
Why don't we get Austin on to give us a little sound bite and tell
us about the event. So Austin, welcome to the show and tell us a little
bit about Two Jagoffs. Absolutely. Thank you so much for having me on. So Two
(10:40):
Jagoffs is a podcast that actually started a couple of years ago in the corner
of my bedroom. Just get some reps in and they get comfortable with my
broadcasting career, which is what I'm in the middle of going for right now. And
surprisingly, the podcast has grown a pretty decent following here in Pittsburgh.
I've had the opportunity to have sponsorships on some Pittsburgh legends like
Greg Brown and Bill Hillgrove on. And I was approached about six
(11:02):
months ago with the idea of hosting Day of Giving this year, which is essentially
Point Park's big day of raising a bunch of money for student funded trips,
scholarships, grants, and they wanted to put on some sort of Event to kind of
hype up day of giving. So I pitched the idea of doing my podcast
live in front of everybody. Kind of like Pat McAfee did with his big Night
out show earlier this year. I had the same idea there. So on Wednesday,
(11:24):
October 29, from 4 to 7 at Point park, we will be having a live
podcast with a panel. We'll have giveaways, we'll have appetizers, some
surprises. It's gonna be a really fun night. Yeah, it looks like a great time.
It's kind of a kickoff to the entire event because the. I believe the full
event is November 5th or 6th is. Yes, November
6th. November 6th is the full. So you're kind of getting this whole thing started
(11:45):
and you're setting up. And what we talk about at my theater is putting live
events on for people to bring communities together, to
fundraise, to just build a better environment and connect with people.
And you're doing that on a scale, you know, partnering with the
college, being able to perform live and put on your podcast
and. And see fans in real time and make those connections. Have.
(12:08):
Have you done live shows like this before? In a way. So
I'm actually on the side. I'm a professional wrestling commentator, so that's kind of like
my side gig that I do outside of college. So I've been a broadcaster and
announced dozens of events before. I've done football, done volleyball and professional
wrestling is actually pretty similar to the event I'm putting on. It's in front of
a live student studio audience. You're entertaining fans, you're
(12:28):
informing fans at the same time. So I've had a little experience with this, but
me actually kind of being the star of it in the face of it. It's
a whole new environment. I'm not going to lie. I'm a little nervous, but with
the way things are going leading up to it, it's actually looking really good. Yeah,
it's. It's a great way to connect and taking your podcast and doing something positive
for the community, it's just everything that we're about here at the theater. It's
(12:48):
so exciting to see you doing it. At my former school, Point Park University,
and tickets are available if people want to register. What's the best way to
register for the event? Absolutely. So tickets are actually free for both
students and outsiders that would like to come in. There's two different links. Students,
if they scan the QR code on some of my pages, you actually get in
for free. All you have to do is put your Student ID in. And if
(13:10):
you're an outsider or a faculty member, staff professor, there's another link
that you fill out and there's an optional donation bin if you would like to
donate the day of giving. But if not, tickets are still free to come to
this event. Awesome. Austin 2Jagoffs podcast,
everybody. Check it out. Especially if you're in the Pittsburgh area, if you can make
it to the event, check it out. It's on one. Tuesday,
(13:31):
Wednesday, October 29th. Yeah, October 29th. I knew it was close.
It's coming up. We'll have all the links in the show notes with the dates,
times, and the link to the 2 Jagoffs podcast. Make sure you're checking it
out. Support the people that are putting on public events,
connecting the community and just bring. Getting people out of their houses, having fun with
podcasting and. And in this case, doing something phenomenal for the community.
(13:53):
Absolutely, Absolutely. It's going to be a fun event. It's going to be a really
fun one. Awesome. I'm going to go back to the past. Let's go back to
the show. All right, Kyle, we're back from that interview with Austin.
Pretty amazing stuff. That's a big goal. I think they can get there.
I got to say, it sounds like he has a great,
great lineage. His grandfather, especially that story he told about his time in
(14:16):
in a King Supers. Boy, that was impressive. Yeah, I was
surprised we could edit that down to just a few minutes. And we're back already.
Yeah, very impactful.
Very impactful. Well, check it out. It's this week. It's free
for tickets, but you do have to register. Go over to the Point park website,
click on events. You'll be able to get your free tickets to go see
(14:39):
two Jag Offs.
Let's go to story number three. We're flying high now, Kyle. Not the mile
high or Denver. Denver's also a mile high and a.
Lot of us are very high. Me, not so much. The
MRO podcast takes off live from London. This comes to
us from the mro podcast on YouTube
(15:01):
and @mro Europe. In London, the skies weren't the only
thing buzzing. Aviation Week's team took the
MRO Podcast live on stage to tackle the biggest issues
shaping the future of flight. Before a crowd of
aviation pros, the hosts dove into topics like
European fleet expansion, supply chain bottlenecks and the
(15:23):
rise of AI, and even how Gen Z is reshaping the
hangar. With industry experts weighing in on everything from
contracts to global politics, this live recording proved that
the Maintenance, repair and overhaul. World is more
dynamic and more human than ever.
And we've seen a string of stories like this, Kyle, where these are
(15:45):
conferences, and these conferences always are focused around a single
topic. This one was aviation. And conferences where
historically they would look for things to entertain the guests while they were there, while
they were attending the conference, they would bring in bands and
comedians and music acts. But more and more what we're
seeing is these conferences are bringing podcasters to the
(16:07):
stage to record a live show. And then what
do you think they're doing with that? They're going to record it, talk about the
conference, and then release it to their audience. So the audience
who's in attendance is getting entertained by listening to a podcast
in their industry. Then that same podcast
is going to release the MP3 file to their download audience
(16:29):
and that conference is going to get more promotion. I think a strategy
like this is pretty win, win for everybody. It
is a spectacular approach. Plus, I mean, like, podcasting is just,
I would venture to say it's one of the ways of the world
these days because, you know, advertising,
like back in my dad's age, the stuff that initially got me into
(16:52):
it was the campaign. You know, it was just, all right,
this is what our team came up with. This is, you know, the billboard or
the, the quippy ad that you saw in the paper, whatever it may be,
that is gone through iteration
after iteration and approval processes. These
days, candor comes in the form of
(17:14):
conversation. And conversation is really like, that's
how people build trust in whatever their industry
is, you know, because I think people trust marketers less
and less. And I don't mean this as a,
you know, personal jab, understanding that both you and I,
Jeff, are in marketing. It's just how is it that we navigate
(17:36):
these waters? By being genuine, authentic, and factually
accurate. Yeah, that's the only thing
people trust. Like as soon as your cover is blown, as soon as
people figure out you were trying to deceive them, they don't want to be a
part of that anymore. They will. You get stiff armed into the corner
with Baby from Dirty Dancing.
(18:03):
Nobody puts Baby in the corner, but they do go in
Syracuse. They put game on the Orange Zone. Looks like they're in the
corner at Destiny usa. This one comes to us from
CNY Central. It was all orange energy at
the apex entertainment industry, Destiny usa, where
the Orange Zone podcast went live to break down Syracuse's
(18:26):
football's upcoming showdown with Pittsburgh
Broadcasting. In front of a lively crowd of fans and families, the crew
Tackled everything from offensive strategy to the pulse of the fan base,
mixing in analysis, banter, and hometown pride.
With the smell of popcorn in the air and the roar of Orange Nation in
the background, this live taping felt less like a podcast
(18:49):
and more like a pep rally, proving that Syracuse the
football talk is always better when it's live.
And I'll let you start with this one, Kyle. This is a. Here's a show
that went out to. Looks like. I think this might be a casino.
And sports betting is a kind of a big deal in sports right now. So
what do you think they're doing? What kind of strategy is this for a
(19:12):
podcast to go live? Well,
okay, so given that I'm a gymnast, I'm gonna have to really pull into
my acting ability here and say, Jeff, it
is a touchdown strategy. And
they are calling on the whole team to
(19:34):
put the ball in the. End zone
in the court. I thought you said ball in the court.
This. This. This football podcast was a real home run.
Yes, they sports well.
And so, you know, here. This is local to them. This is a local podcast.
(19:55):
These are Syracuse fans. They love this blue and orange color. And
this Apex entertainment, I believe, might be, like a casino or
a sports bet. Maybe it's their. Their, like, state indoor
stadium. I don't know. I don't know what this Apex is, but it seems like
orange and blue Syracuse fans tend to, you know,
conjugate around this area and they're inserting themselves right in the
(20:17):
middle. Like, here we are. We're where our fans are. We're going
to talk about the thing we love, which is beating Pittsburgh seems to be
everybody's favorite thing. And. And why don't we get together and
celebrate this love of the team? Did we not just establish the Pittsburgh
or Jagoffs? Yeah, some of our
Syracuseans. No comment, your
(20:39):
honor. So, yeah, a great way to put your podcasts in front of
people. Put your podcast where your fans are. When you make that
connection, you're building stronger communities. You're just
connecting with fans on a different level, and you get to meet them face to
face. When you do a live show, you get to see their faces, see if
they laugh. Like the jokes I made today. I would see if they were laughing
(21:00):
in real time, not just leaving likes and hearts online. But we
would know, hey, that was a good joke. Do more of those. Or Revilla, stop
doing those jokes. That's it. You get the. You know,
you get to quarterback that conversation, and then the linebackers do
the. They score it, and then the, the audience is there
to audience stuff. And then the Ronaldo goes goal.
(21:24):
And then Michael Jordan
is there as well. Yeah, that's a slam dunk
because they have to slam dunk the football over the upright, I think. Yes.
That's, that's the only way of doing it, as I understand. Hashtag, go sports.
Yep. Sammy Sosa, that's my man. Let's go from sports
(21:44):
to Michelle Obama bringing the look to
life live on stage just comes to us from Penguin Random House.
The former first lady is taking style, storytelling and self expression
center stage as Michelle Obama launches, IMO, the
Look, a six part podcast series from Higher Ground premiering
on November 5th. Companion to her new
(22:07):
book, the look. This series dives into how fashion became a
language of confidence and representation, from the White House
wardrobe to cultural influence worldwide. But the
spotlight doesn't stop at the Microsoft Ms. Obama will record
two live podcast tapings, one in Brooklyn with Tracy
Ellis Ross and another in Washington D.C. with
(22:28):
Wesley Morris. These conversations promise laughter,
honesty, and a powerful reminder that being seen and showing
up as yourself is a radical act.
And what we're seeing, we've seen this with a couple times with people who
are promoting books now through a series of
live podcast events. We saw it with Scott Galloway, we see it with
(22:51):
Michelle Obama this week. They're taking these tours on the
road to support what looks like a book launch
and they're bringing their fans together. They're probably getting pre orders
for the book, maybe selling the book, maybe autographing the book, maybe having
a VIP experience. And they're doing this more and more
instead of just going on a morning talk show or the local radio station.
(23:14):
People who are creating stuff are taking control of their environment
and putting these events together to really meet and connect with their fans.
Same exact message as I believe two stories ago. It's just, it is
one of the best ways to just simply chat about, you know, this is
the mission, the, you know what,
(23:36):
whatever I'm about to in a way that just about
anybody can relate to, it's just casual conversation. Yeah. And
to see somebody in person, too. If Michelle's coming to your hometown
and you get to go to a theater to see how she acts on stage,
thinks in the moment, reacts with the crowd, you don't get that from
a television interview with Katie Couric
(23:58):
that's so scripted and staged. But to see somebody you
admire in the moment is connection on a
whole different level. Yeah. We'll go to
story number six. Our last story today, Totally
Booked Live. The Holderness Family lights up New York City.
This one comes to us from Eventbrite. It was laughter, learning,
(24:21):
and literally love in New York City. As Pen and Kim
Holderness joined Zibby Owens for a totally booked live
podcast taping at Zibby's Bookshop Pop Up.
The viral video duo known for their hilarious sketches and Amazing
Race win sat down to celebrate their new children's book, all
youl Can Be with adhd, a joyful ode to
(24:43):
creativity and thinking differently. Surrounded by fans,
families, and fellow creators, the Holderness shared
stories, read excerpts, and reminded everyone that
neurodiversity isn't a flaw, it's a superpower.
This wasn't just a podcast. It was a pep rally for the proud,
curious, and endlessly creative minds. We talk
(25:05):
about, you know, how do we incorporate this into small business? Not just
giant theaters and giant stadiums, but here's Zippy's
Bookshop in New York City is having an event
to bring people in. They're bringing authors in, and they're recording
these sessions as their live podcast. So they're bringing book
lovers to the store, they're recording, and then
(25:28):
they're having this whole activity around the thing that people love. In
this case, it's a. I don't know if people love adhd, but they're. They're reading
books together on it. They have a passion for learning more about it and maybe
how to manage it, how to. To deal, maybe finding some strategies.
And in this case, it becomes a podcast for the bookstore and a
promotion, you know, another asset. Yeah,
(25:50):
well, that's. On the whole, I think I'm not a huge,
huge fan of social media, but because of the interconnectivity
of the world today, I think we've realized how many people have,
you know, these neurodivergent cases, you know, neurodivergence being a very
broad umbrella, but ADHD especially, too. It's like, all right,
well, now we're writing, you know, kids books about it because there's a lot of
(26:13):
kiddos that have this kind of thing and parents that need to figure out how
to navigate parenting with that. So social has
made possible for us to see. Like, all right, maybe we're not the only ones
in this situation. I think I would potentially put that as a very
positive component amidst many other
negatives. Yeah, I mean, a way for parents to connect with.
(26:34):
Sometimes a parent doesn't expect, you know, any. Not
that this is a problem, but there's a diagnosis that happened in their family, and
maybe they don't know who to talk to. Events like this can bring parents
together, some of them who are helpful, some of them might be struggling with a
diagnosis. Get you some resources, some knowledge, you know,
anything. Yeah, like Zibby's doing a community service with this event.
(26:57):
For sure. They have other, they've done other book meetups with other authors. But
I really like this one. Just the way to bring people together and
to, you know, find some common ground. Ask those questions that you
maybe your doctor doesn't know the answer to and you can
figure things out together as a community. And that's very powerful and a great
testament to the importance of small business in your community. Yep.
(27:19):
Bravo, Zibies. Y' all are on the cutting edge.
Two points sports, two point
conversion for Zibies. Yes. I wouldn't be remiss if I
didn't talk about Poduty shirts. I'm wearing one now. We got them in the theater
for just $10. Four colors, five sizes. Stop on
down anytime. I'm here if you can find me. We got
(27:42):
upcoming shows. We've got the Pittsburgh Podcast Meetup. We
live stream these now. It's from 6 to 9. If you're here in
Pittsburgh, come in at 6 o'. Clock. I feed you chips and
sandwiches and pizzas and drinks totally free. There's no charge for
this. At 7 o', clock, we live stream one hour of the
event where we're answering the most pressing podcast
(28:04):
questions out there. So whether you're in the theater or whether you're watching at home,
you can tune in and ask those questions directly to the stage. We
will get you an answer that night and then we'll cut the feed because you
don't get to see everything if you're watching. And then we'll hang out for another
hour and network and exchange information. And I've seen people get
booked on each other's shows. It's a lot of fun. We've
(28:25):
got Tamara. She's coming up next Saturday, November
8th, two Saturdays from now. November 8th. She set a goal for her
one season one ending. It's like a wrap up party. She set
a goal of 10 tickets. I think she's over 15 already. So
she is well exceeding her own expectations. It's going to be a fun
show. It's a season one wrap party kind of a season two kickoff
(28:49):
November 8th, 6pm that's the Nailed it Motherhood
podcast. We've got the Tarentum Holiday
Spectacular. The town that this theater is in is called Tarentum.
We have a two day livestream festival coming up December
3rd and December 4th, we're going to bring in 24
Tarentum businesses. Every 10 minutes, we're going to flip them out. We're going
(29:11):
to talk about who they are, what they do, how they serve the community and
how you can support them. It's completely free to the businesses.
This is just to showcase Torrentum for two nights during the holiday season so
that everybody in Tarentum finishes the year
very strong. Check it out all these @ poduty.com
P-O-D-U-T-Y.com and then in
(29:32):
2026, the Humorous Podcast. Check that out.
Tickets are available. It's so far away. I'm just putting it out there so that
you're ready to come see it. They're coming in from like Vermont or New Hampshire.
It's a, it's a traveling show. And of course,
my special guest today, Kyle Asperger. Kyle, thank you
so much for joining me one last time. Tell people how they can connect with
(29:55):
you and, you know, reach out to you, use your
services well. Jeff, thank you again for having me, man.
It was cool to, you know, see and experience some of these, you know, new
shows. The content that you were looking to, you know, highlight sounds like you have
such a wonderfully community and
touch ball centric
(30:17):
focus. Something about sports.
But coming in again from Denver, Colorado, where
I assume that we have a pretty good sports team or
three, two, maybe marketing,
coach, actor, voice artist and companies
called Anarchy for a Day. Just again, anarchy. And I think it was,
(30:40):
you know, in the comedy podcast meets chaos. Anarchy, I think by
dictionary definition, destroy everything. Complete and
utter chaos. In my world, anarchy is a
tool to inspire innovation, to push the makers into
their blue oceans. So use it, apply it with a bit of
tact and differentiate yourself so you stand
(31:02):
out in whatever marketplace you're in, whichever room you're in,
become the most interesting individual. Awesome. It's Anarchy for a Day.
Dot com, I believe, is the website. Is that correct? You got it. I'll
have all that in the show. Notes, connect with Kyle, reach out to him, check
his website. Let's go back to that theme song. A
toast to the thinkers, the dreamers, the pros the
(31:25):
stories we share the world that grows from
London to New York the voices collide
Ideas are the fuel and truth
Jeff drops questions God brings flair
Two storytellers with no time to spare the
laughter's real the inside's deep these
(31:48):
moments are ours to keep what
time is it? What
time is it? What
time is it? It's
time for
(32:12):
the only live news podcast about
podcasting from the st.
Oh, man, I'm backstage again. We had some comments coming in
wise. Good morning to you. Good morning, Sarah. Sarah's out in Utah.
(32:36):
She's in your time zone, I believe. And of course,
Brian Ortega is looking for guacamole and food. Guacamole.
I did have one last question for Kyle. Maybe you're not allowed to discuss this,
but I've heard that the Illuminati is deep in
with the Denver airport. Is that correct? I am not at
liberty to speak to that. Whoever
(32:59):
invented the blue horse, talk to them. The blue. I don't even know
what that. Now. Now this. It's called Lucifer. It is
positively like. It is a demonic introduction
to say, well, boy, are we excited for you and your travels.
Welcome to the Denver International Airport. Here's a terrifying blue horse
with, like, eyes that are on fire. Nice. That was. I.
(33:20):
I was reading something about the Denver airport where, like, this
could. The Internet. It can be a strange place. So many conspiracies,
dude. But it's wild. Instead of denying it, they, like,
really leaned into it that, like. Yeah,
I think they had a campaign, like, advertising. Like,
are we the airport or are we, you know, whatever.
(33:43):
We're lizard people. Yeah, exactly.
Hey, everybody. Welcome to Poduty in the News for Saturday, October
25th. I've got a great guest joining me, Kyle Asperger.
Anarchy for a Day. We're talking MRO
podcast, the Orange Zone, Women, crime, redemption,
and 2 Jagoffs. A toast
to the thinkers, the dreamers, the pros, the stories
(00:22):
we share, the world that grows from London
to New York. The voices collide, ideas
are the fuel and truth. The guy
Jeff drops questions. Kyle brings flare.
Two storytellers with no time to spare. The
laughter's real, the inside's deep. These
(00:44):
moments are ours to keep. What
time is it? What
time is it? What
time is it? It's
time for
(01:09):
the only live news podcast about
podcasting from the stage.
The only live news podcast about podcasting
from the stage. Oh, we lost Kyle for a second. Oh, there we go.
(01:31):
Here we go. And he's back. Kyle, welcome back. Pleasure to be
here yet again. I'm trying to do too many switches. Also, I forgot my
clicker for the slides over in the. In the control room. So during
that song, I had to run back to the control room to get the clicker.
You're getting your cardio in this morning, man. I am finally, you
know, 50 years. I finally got the heart rate above 130.
(01:53):
It's pretty good. Kyle, welcome to the show.
You're called. You're two hours behind us. Tell us a
little bit about yourself, your agency, and I know I want to get into some
of those gymnastics. Oh, gosh. Well, good
morning. Good morning, Jeff. Thank you for having me. Kyle Asperger coming
in from Denver, Colorado. So
(02:15):
entrepreneurial endeavors these days, I'm a marketing coach,
actor, and voice artist. So anarchy for a day. As
Jeff just mentioned, that is the marketing coaching practice anarchy. For me,
it isn't the destroy everything, complete and utter chaos anarchy. In
my vernacular, it is a tool, when
(02:35):
applied with a bit of tact, is meant to inspire innovation so that
we can differentiate ourselves from the rest.
Awesome. A lot of times I grew up 20 years in
skateboarding, and I had a skate shop, a skate park,
and this punk rock. And I know it's a little bit different than what you're
talking about, but the skateboarding mentality, if you ever talk to somebody who skateboarded as
(02:57):
a kid, the way that you perceive the world, the way
that you see things, is just slightly different than everybody else. And that's very
freeing. And some of the mentality things that you're talking about, the
way to kind of free yourself with, you know,
don't get Locked down in this rules and the structure. There's, there's ways
to improve yourself, thinking outside the box, seeing things differently.
(03:19):
And I really like that part of the message. Well, thank you.
I agree. The basis is, okay, let's understand
the rules initially and only then can we objectively
look at whatever the idea is and whether this is business or a life
philosophy. Only then when we
see this idea objectively, then we can bring a bit of anarchy and then kind
(03:42):
of figure out, okay, well, which of these rules can we maybe kind
of fudge or break a little bit? Like that's where the innovation can
happen. Because I can almost guarantee that no innovation has ever happened
by doing what everybody else has done historically.
Yeah, we were talking backstage before the show. I'm in my full
time job, a marketing director for 15 years, and it would be easy
(04:04):
to just do what everybody does. I could have just rode the
coattails of my predecessor. I could have just followed the status
quo. But by looking at the data, by pushing
boundaries, by seeing what's possible,
I was able to build something. I grew from myself to a team of 10.
And it's that mindset and that
(04:25):
mentality that can really propel you, especially I think, in this corporate
culture where people are quick to lay off. You can find your
superpower by not necessarily not following the rules, but
expanding them a little bit, stretching them a little bit.
Absolutely could not have said it better than myself. Well, would
you like to hear what I'm going to say next? Because we're going to go
(04:47):
into our stories. There's my segue. Let's do it. We're
talking women, crime and redemption. Live from FDU
at Farleigh Dickinson University. True crime took the
stage as criminologists and podcast hosts Megan
Sachs and Amy Schlossberg recorded a live episode
of Women in Crime titled Women in Prison
(05:09):
Voices from Edna Mahan. The event, free and
open to the public, featured women formerly incarcerated at
New Jersey's embattled Edna Mahan Correctional Facility,
offering firsthand stories of survival and reform.
Known for blending psychological law and empathy, the professors
regulars on 2020 and Good Morning America used
(05:33):
the live format to shine a spotlight on injustice while
humanizing those behind the headlines. It was an evening where data
met compassion and real voices
reclaimed their stories. And
we always talk about legacy media. This seems to pop up a lot. But here's
two people who have been part of legacy media. They saw
(05:54):
what they were building there and they started to build their own thing. They came
up with their own show around a topic that they both love.
They love crime and injustice and they
brought a community together just to have the
shared moment. Because I know I live in a house, I have three women in
my house, my wife and two daughters. And crime and
(06:16):
justice are like number two
topics that they love to talk and discuss about. So this event
would be a perfect event for them if we were in this area to go
connect with like minded people, learn about these stories, and
kind of share that common connection. And a podcast like this
is a great way to bring people together.
(06:41):
People love crime and injustice, whether committing, solving,
you know, I'm not here to remark on what, but
yeah, it's a big thing these days. Yeah. And
the ability to have like a free event to the public. I didn't see if
it was at a library because we've been having a lot of events at local
libraries and it's just a way to bring the public
(07:03):
into a place. Like, we talk
about the struggle of libraries in this day and age where people are addicted to
their cell phones and streaming media. Libraries would love to
have shows like this come into their location
and really just bring the community together, bring people
in through the door, use these public facilities. And this
(07:26):
was a great event at Farleigh Dickinson. And
congratulations, Megan and Amy, for putting on this great event.
Let's go to our second story. Two
Jagoffs. That's a Pittsburgh slang for you, Kyle. A lot of Pittsburghers are known
as jagoffs or yinzers. Oh, I grew up
with a neighbor who he just. Maybe he was
(07:49):
from that general part of town, but I actually ended up
working in his warehouse. And he's like, you know, how you doing? Okay.
You know, there's a lot of jag offs over there. You just got to watch
out for yourself. So I got you. That's why we don't need real ID from
Pennsylvania. Because if you hear us say jag off or yin, they automatically
verify us as US Citizens. Yep,
(08:11):
you probably live next to a Jag off or a Pittsburgh who was also a
jag Off. He probably would have said that,
but no, he is. He's one of. Easily one of the best guys I
know. Well, this one comes to us from my alma mater, Point
Park University. And this is during the day of Giving.
And it's not every day that a podcast helps raise hundreds of thousands of
(08:32):
dollars. But that's exactly what's happening in Pittsburgh this week. The
two Jagoffs podcast is going live at Point Park University
as part of their day of giving celebration. The event kicks
off with Happy hour at 4pm featuring drinks, appetizers
and giveaways. Because nothing fuels generosity like
a good charcuterie board. Then at 5pm host
(08:55):
Austin Carnes and crew will take over the mic for a two hour live
podcast, joined by Pittsburgh community leaders and
alumni. The goal? To raise
$350,000 for student programs and
scholarships, proving once again that when Pittsburghers get together,
even podcasts can make a powerful impact. Here's a way
(09:15):
for a podcaster to not only have an event, because a lot
of times what we talk about here in our theater spaces is bringing
people together. And this is bringing people together for a
common good. We're bringing them together so that
they can raise money. I believe this goes to the day of giving
supports student programs so you can help
(09:37):
scholarships, you can help activities, you can help things in and
around the on campus at the Pittsburgh
at Point park in Pittsburgh. Here it's where I went to school, got my
bachelor's, and I got a special treat for you guys.
Future Jeff is going to interview Austin and
(09:57):
get a firsthand account of what this event is about. Kyle,
let's flip over to that future interview from Austin.
Sure. All right, we are here in the future. From this morning's
episode, I have Austin Carnes joining me from the Two Jagoffs
podcast. There's going to be a special live presentation or
a live broadcast or a live recording at where I went to college
(10:19):
25 years ago, Point Park University. And they have a very
special day coming up and I thought, oh, wouldn't it be great? We're talking about
this segment about Point Park. Austin's going to be doing his show live.
Why don't we get Austin on to give us a little sound bite and tell
us about the event. So Austin, welcome to the show and tell us a little
bit about Two Jagoffs. Absolutely. Thank you so much for having me on. So Two
(10:40):
Jagoffs is a podcast that actually started a couple of years ago in the corner
of my bedroom. Just get some reps in and they get comfortable with my
broadcasting career, which is what I'm in the middle of going for right now. And
surprisingly, the podcast has grown a pretty decent following here in Pittsburgh.
I've had the opportunity to have sponsorships on some Pittsburgh legends like
Greg Brown and Bill Hillgrove on. And I was approached about six
(11:02):
months ago with the idea of hosting Day of Giving this year, which is essentially
Point Park's big day of raising a bunch of money for student funded trips,
scholarships, grants, and they wanted to put on some sort of Event to kind of
hype up day of giving. So I pitched the idea of doing my podcast
live in front of everybody. Kind of like Pat McAfee did with his big Night
out show earlier this year. I had the same idea there. So on Wednesday,
(11:24):
October 29, from 4 to 7 at Point park, we will be having a live
podcast with a panel. We'll have giveaways, we'll have appetizers, some
surprises. It's gonna be a really fun night. Yeah, it looks like a great time.
It's kind of a kickoff to the entire event because the. I believe the full
event is November 5th or 6th is. Yes, November
6th. November 6th is the full. So you're kind of getting this whole thing started
(11:45):
and you're setting up. And what we talk about at my theater is putting live
events on for people to bring communities together, to
fundraise, to just build a better environment and connect with people.
And you're doing that on a scale, you know, partnering with the
college, being able to perform live and put on your podcast
and. And see fans in real time and make those connections. Have.
(12:08):
Have you done live shows like this before? In a way. So
I'm actually on the side. I'm a professional wrestling commentator, so that's kind of like
my side gig that I do outside of college. So I've been a broadcaster and
announced dozens of events before. I've done football, done volleyball and professional
wrestling is actually pretty similar to the event I'm putting on. It's in front of
a live student studio audience. You're entertaining fans, you're
(12:28):
informing fans at the same time. So I've had a little experience with this, but
me actually kind of being the star of it in the face of it. It's
a whole new environment. I'm not going to lie. I'm a little nervous, but with
the way things are going leading up to it, it's actually looking really good. Yeah,
it's. It's a great way to connect and taking your podcast and doing something positive
for the community, it's just everything that we're about here at the theater. It's
(12:48):
so exciting to see you doing it. At my former school, Point Park University,
and tickets are available if people want to register. What's the best way to
register for the event? Absolutely. So tickets are actually free for both
students and outsiders that would like to come in. There's two different links. Students,
if they scan the QR code on some of my pages, you actually get in
for free. All you have to do is put your Student ID in. And if
(13:10):
you're an outsider or a faculty member, staff professor, there's another link
that you fill out and there's an optional donation bin if you would like to
donate the day of giving. But if not, tickets are still free to come to
this event. Awesome. Austin 2Jagoffs podcast,
everybody. Check it out. Especially if you're in the Pittsburgh area, if you can make
it to the event, check it out. It's on one. Tuesday,
(13:31):
Wednesday, October 29th. Yeah, October 29th. I knew it was close.
It's coming up. We'll have all the links in the show notes with the dates,
times, and the link to the 2 Jagoffs podcast. Make sure you're checking it
out. Support the people that are putting on public events,
connecting the community and just bring. Getting people out of their houses, having fun with
podcasting and. And in this case, doing something phenomenal for the community.
(13:53):
Absolutely, Absolutely. It's going to be a fun event. It's going to be a really
fun one. Awesome. I'm going to go back to the past. Let's go back to
the show. All right, Kyle, we're back from that interview with Austin.
Pretty amazing stuff. That's a big goal. I think they can get there.
I got to say, it sounds like he has a great,
great lineage. His grandfather, especially that story he told about his time in
(14:16):
in a King Supers. Boy, that was impressive. Yeah, I was
surprised we could edit that down to just a few minutes. And we're back already.
Yeah, very impactful.
Very impactful. Well, check it out. It's this week. It's free
for tickets, but you do have to register. Go over to the Point park website,
click on events. You'll be able to get your free tickets to go see
(14:39):
two Jag Offs.
Let's go to story number three. We're flying high now, Kyle. Not the mile
high or Denver. Denver's also a mile high and a.
Lot of us are very high. Me, not so much. The
MRO podcast takes off live from London. This comes to
us from the mro podcast on YouTube
(15:01):
and @mro Europe. In London, the skies weren't the only
thing buzzing. Aviation Week's team took the
MRO Podcast live on stage to tackle the biggest issues
shaping the future of flight. Before a crowd of
aviation pros, the hosts dove into topics like
European fleet expansion, supply chain bottlenecks and the
(15:23):
rise of AI, and even how Gen Z is reshaping the
hangar. With industry experts weighing in on everything from
contracts to global politics, this live recording proved that
the Maintenance, repair and overhaul. World is more
dynamic and more human than ever.
And we've seen a string of stories like this, Kyle, where these are
(15:45):
conferences, and these conferences always are focused around a single
topic. This one was aviation. And conferences where
historically they would look for things to entertain the guests while they were there, while
they were attending the conference, they would bring in bands and
comedians and music acts. But more and more what we're
seeing is these conferences are bringing podcasters to the
(16:07):
stage to record a live show. And then what
do you think they're doing with that? They're going to record it, talk about the
conference, and then release it to their audience. So the audience
who's in attendance is getting entertained by listening to a podcast
in their industry. Then that same podcast
is going to release the MP3 file to their download audience
(16:29):
and that conference is going to get more promotion. I think a strategy
like this is pretty win, win for everybody. It
is a spectacular approach. Plus, I mean, like, podcasting is just,
I would venture to say it's one of the ways of the world
these days because, you know, advertising,
like back in my dad's age, the stuff that initially got me into
(16:52):
it was the campaign. You know, it was just, all right,
this is what our team came up with. This is, you know, the billboard or
the, the quippy ad that you saw in the paper, whatever it may be,
that is gone through iteration
after iteration and approval processes. These
days, candor comes in the form of
(17:14):
conversation. And conversation is really like, that's
how people build trust in whatever their industry
is, you know, because I think people trust marketers less
and less. And I don't mean this as a,
you know, personal jab, understanding that both you and I,
Jeff, are in marketing. It's just how is it that we navigate
(17:36):
these waters? By being genuine, authentic, and factually
accurate. Yeah, that's the only thing
people trust. Like as soon as your cover is blown, as soon as
people figure out you were trying to deceive them, they don't want to be a
part of that anymore. They will. You get stiff armed into the corner
with Baby from Dirty Dancing.
(18:03):
Nobody puts Baby in the corner, but they do go in
Syracuse. They put game on the Orange Zone. Looks like they're in the
corner at Destiny usa. This one comes to us from
CNY Central. It was all orange energy at
the apex entertainment industry, Destiny usa, where
the Orange Zone podcast went live to break down Syracuse's
(18:26):
football's upcoming showdown with Pittsburgh
Broadcasting. In front of a lively crowd of fans and families, the crew
Tackled everything from offensive strategy to the pulse of the fan base,
mixing in analysis, banter, and hometown pride.
With the smell of popcorn in the air and the roar of Orange Nation in
the background, this live taping felt less like a podcast
(18:49):
and more like a pep rally, proving that Syracuse the
football talk is always better when it's live.
And I'll let you start with this one, Kyle. This is a. Here's a show
that went out to. Looks like. I think this might be a casino.
And sports betting is a kind of a big deal in sports right now. So
what do you think they're doing? What kind of strategy is this for a
(19:12):
podcast to go live? Well,
okay, so given that I'm a gymnast, I'm gonna have to really pull into
my acting ability here and say, Jeff, it
is a touchdown strategy. And
they are calling on the whole team to
(19:34):
put the ball in the. End zone
in the court. I thought you said ball in the court.
This. This. This football podcast was a real home run.
Yes, they sports well.
And so, you know, here. This is local to them. This is a local podcast.
(19:55):
These are Syracuse fans. They love this blue and orange color. And
this Apex entertainment, I believe, might be, like a casino or
a sports bet. Maybe it's their. Their, like, state indoor
stadium. I don't know. I don't know what this Apex is, but it seems like
orange and blue Syracuse fans tend to, you know,
conjugate around this area and they're inserting themselves right in the
(20:17):
middle. Like, here we are. We're where our fans are. We're going
to talk about the thing we love, which is beating Pittsburgh seems to be
everybody's favorite thing. And. And why don't we get together and
celebrate this love of the team? Did we not just establish the Pittsburgh
or Jagoffs? Yeah, some of our
Syracuseans. No comment, your
(20:39):
honor. So, yeah, a great way to put your podcasts in front of
people. Put your podcast where your fans are. When you make that
connection, you're building stronger communities. You're just
connecting with fans on a different level, and you get to meet them face to
face. When you do a live show, you get to see their faces, see if
they laugh. Like the jokes I made today. I would see if they were laughing
(21:00):
in real time, not just leaving likes and hearts online. But we
would know, hey, that was a good joke. Do more of those. Or Revilla, stop
doing those jokes. That's it. You get the. You know,
you get to quarterback that conversation, and then the linebackers do
the. They score it, and then the, the audience is there
to audience stuff. And then the Ronaldo goes goal.
(21:24):
And then Michael Jordan
is there as well. Yeah, that's a slam dunk
because they have to slam dunk the football over the upright, I think. Yes.
That's, that's the only way of doing it, as I understand. Hashtag, go sports.
Yep. Sammy Sosa, that's my man. Let's go from sports
(21:44):
to Michelle Obama bringing the look to
life live on stage just comes to us from Penguin Random House.
The former first lady is taking style, storytelling and self expression
center stage as Michelle Obama launches, IMO, the
Look, a six part podcast series from Higher Ground premiering
on November 5th. Companion to her new
(22:07):
book, the look. This series dives into how fashion became a
language of confidence and representation, from the White House
wardrobe to cultural influence worldwide. But the
spotlight doesn't stop at the Microsoft Ms. Obama will record
two live podcast tapings, one in Brooklyn with Tracy
Ellis Ross and another in Washington D.C. with
(22:28):
Wesley Morris. These conversations promise laughter,
honesty, and a powerful reminder that being seen and showing
up as yourself is a radical act.
And what we're seeing, we've seen this with a couple times with people who
are promoting books now through a series of
live podcast events. We saw it with Scott Galloway, we see it with
(22:51):
Michelle Obama this week. They're taking these tours on the
road to support what looks like a book launch
and they're bringing their fans together. They're probably getting pre orders
for the book, maybe selling the book, maybe autographing the book, maybe having
a VIP experience. And they're doing this more and more
instead of just going on a morning talk show or the local radio station.
(23:14):
People who are creating stuff are taking control of their environment
and putting these events together to really meet and connect with their fans.
Same exact message as I believe two stories ago. It's just, it is
one of the best ways to just simply chat about, you know, this is
the mission, the, you know what,
(23:36):
whatever I'm about to in a way that just about
anybody can relate to, it's just casual conversation. Yeah. And
to see somebody in person, too. If Michelle's coming to your hometown
and you get to go to a theater to see how she acts on stage,
thinks in the moment, reacts with the crowd, you don't get that from
a television interview with Katie Couric
(23:58):
that's so scripted and staged. But to see somebody you
admire in the moment is connection on a
whole different level. Yeah. We'll go to
story number six. Our last story today, Totally
Booked Live. The Holderness Family lights up New York City.
This one comes to us from Eventbrite. It was laughter, learning,
(24:21):
and literally love in New York City. As Pen and Kim
Holderness joined Zibby Owens for a totally booked live
podcast taping at Zibby's Bookshop Pop Up.
The viral video duo known for their hilarious sketches and Amazing
Race win sat down to celebrate their new children's book, all
youl Can Be with adhd, a joyful ode to
(24:43):
creativity and thinking differently. Surrounded by fans,
families, and fellow creators, the Holderness shared
stories, read excerpts, and reminded everyone that
neurodiversity isn't a flaw, it's a superpower.
This wasn't just a podcast. It was a pep rally for the proud,
curious, and endlessly creative minds. We talk
(25:05):
about, you know, how do we incorporate this into small business? Not just
giant theaters and giant stadiums, but here's Zippy's
Bookshop in New York City is having an event
to bring people in. They're bringing authors in, and they're recording
these sessions as their live podcast. So they're bringing book
lovers to the store, they're recording, and then
(25:28):
they're having this whole activity around the thing that people love. In
this case, it's a. I don't know if people love adhd, but they're. They're reading
books together on it. They have a passion for learning more about it and maybe
how to manage it, how to. To deal, maybe finding some strategies.
And in this case, it becomes a podcast for the bookstore and a
promotion, you know, another asset. Yeah,
(25:50):
well, that's. On the whole, I think I'm not a huge,
huge fan of social media, but because of the interconnectivity
of the world today, I think we've realized how many people have,
you know, these neurodivergent cases, you know, neurodivergence being a very
broad umbrella, but ADHD especially, too. It's like, all right,
well, now we're writing, you know, kids books about it because there's a lot of
(26:13):
kiddos that have this kind of thing and parents that need to figure out how
to navigate parenting with that. So social has
made possible for us to see. Like, all right, maybe we're not the only ones
in this situation. I think I would potentially put that as a very
positive component amidst many other
negatives. Yeah, I mean, a way for parents to connect with.
(26:34):
Sometimes a parent doesn't expect, you know, any. Not
that this is a problem, but there's a diagnosis that happened in their family, and
maybe they don't know who to talk to. Events like this can bring parents
together, some of them who are helpful, some of them might be struggling with a
diagnosis. Get you some resources, some knowledge, you know,
anything. Yeah, like Zibby's doing a community service with this event.
(26:57):
For sure. They have other, they've done other book meetups with other authors. But
I really like this one. Just the way to bring people together and
to, you know, find some common ground. Ask those questions that you
maybe your doctor doesn't know the answer to and you can
figure things out together as a community. And that's very powerful and a great
testament to the importance of small business in your community. Yep.
(27:19):
Bravo, Zibies. Y' all are on the cutting edge.
Two points sports, two point
conversion for Zibies. Yes. I wouldn't be remiss if I
didn't talk about Poduty shirts. I'm wearing one now. We got them in the theater
for just $10. Four colors, five sizes. Stop on
down anytime. I'm here if you can find me. We got
(27:42):
upcoming shows. We've got the Pittsburgh Podcast Meetup. We
live stream these now. It's from 6 to 9. If you're here in
Pittsburgh, come in at 6 o'. Clock. I feed you chips and
sandwiches and pizzas and drinks totally free. There's no charge for
this. At 7 o', clock, we live stream one hour of the
event where we're answering the most pressing podcast
(28:04):
questions out there. So whether you're in the theater or whether you're watching at home,
you can tune in and ask those questions directly to the stage. We
will get you an answer that night and then we'll cut the feed because you
don't get to see everything if you're watching. And then we'll hang out for another
hour and network and exchange information. And I've seen people get
booked on each other's shows. It's a lot of fun. We've
(28:25):
got Tamara. She's coming up next Saturday, November
8th, two Saturdays from now. November 8th. She set a goal for her
one season one ending. It's like a wrap up party. She set
a goal of 10 tickets. I think she's over 15 already. So
she is well exceeding her own expectations. It's going to be a fun
show. It's a season one wrap party kind of a season two kickoff
(28:49):
November 8th, 6pm that's the Nailed it Motherhood
podcast. We've got the Tarentum Holiday
Spectacular. The town that this theater is in is called Tarentum.
We have a two day livestream festival coming up December
3rd and December 4th, we're going to bring in 24
Tarentum businesses. Every 10 minutes, we're going to flip them out. We're going
(29:11):
to talk about who they are, what they do, how they serve the community and
how you can support them. It's completely free to the businesses.
This is just to showcase Torrentum for two nights during the holiday season so
that everybody in Tarentum finishes the year
very strong. Check it out all these @ poduty.com
P-O-D-U-T-Y.com and then in
(29:32):
2026, the Humorous Podcast. Check that out.
Tickets are available. It's so far away. I'm just putting it out there so that
you're ready to come see it. They're coming in from like Vermont or New Hampshire.
It's a, it's a traveling show. And of course,
my special guest today, Kyle Asperger. Kyle, thank you
so much for joining me one last time. Tell people how they can connect with
(29:55):
you and, you know, reach out to you, use your
services well. Jeff, thank you again for having me, man.
It was cool to, you know, see and experience some of these, you know, new
shows. The content that you were looking to, you know, highlight sounds like you have
such a wonderfully community and
touch ball centric
(30:17):
focus. Something about sports.
But coming in again from Denver, Colorado, where
I assume that we have a pretty good sports team or
three, two, maybe marketing,
coach, actor, voice artist and companies
called Anarchy for a Day. Just again, anarchy. And I think it was,
(30:40):
you know, in the comedy podcast meets chaos. Anarchy, I think by
dictionary definition, destroy everything. Complete and
utter chaos. In my world, anarchy is a
tool to inspire innovation, to push the makers into
their blue oceans. So use it, apply it with a bit of
tact and differentiate yourself so you stand
(31:02):
out in whatever marketplace you're in, whichever room you're in,
become the most interesting individual. Awesome. It's Anarchy for a Day.
Dot com, I believe, is the website. Is that correct? You got it. I'll
have all that in the show. Notes, connect with Kyle, reach out to him, check
his website. Let's go back to that theme song. A
toast to the thinkers, the dreamers, the pros the
(31:25):
stories we share the world that grows from
London to New York the voices collide
Ideas are the fuel and truth
Jeff drops questions God brings flair
Two storytellers with no time to spare the
laughter's real the inside's deep these
(31:48):
moments are ours to keep what
time is it? What
time is it? What
time is it? It's
time for
(32:12):
the only live news podcast about
podcasting from the st.
Oh, man, I'm backstage again. We had some comments coming in
wise. Good morning to you. Good morning, Sarah. Sarah's out in Utah.
(32:36):
She's in your time zone, I believe. And of course,
Brian Ortega is looking for guacamole and food. Guacamole.
I did have one last question for Kyle. Maybe you're not allowed to discuss this,
but I've heard that the Illuminati is deep in
with the Denver airport. Is that correct? I am not at
liberty to speak to that. Whoever
(32:59):
invented the blue horse, talk to them. The blue. I don't even know
what that. Now. Now this. It's called Lucifer. It is
positively like. It is a demonic introduction
to say, well, boy, are we excited for you and your travels.
Welcome to the Denver International Airport. Here's a terrifying blue horse
with, like, eyes that are on fire. Nice. That was. I.
(33:20):
I was reading something about the Denver airport where, like, this
could. The Internet. It can be a strange place. So many conspiracies,
dude. But it's wild. Instead of denying it, they, like,
really leaned into it that, like. Yeah,
I think they had a campaign, like, advertising. Like,
are we the airport or are we, you know, whatever.
(33:43):
We're lizard people. Yeah, exactly.
