Speaker 1 (00:03):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast
firms to representing show? Take it away? All right? I think, No, no, no,
I think, And now it's your turnout. We should be

(00:24):
going day. By the way, I want to just point out,
nobody offered us no. Nobody said, hey, I offered you
lunch and you turned me down. But I can I
have lunches after the show. Whatever. It's okay, it's fine,
that's fine. I didn't know it was International Guilty. Tomorrow

(00:45):
We're gonna have pizza up here, so that's good. Take
the pizza tomorrow. That's exciting. Yeah, take it away. Okay.
We have so much leftover stuff from the show today.
I don't know how I thought we were going to
get all of that stuff in. So should we save
it for tomorrow or should we do something in the
fifteen minute morning show today. I tell you I had
an easy day. I'll do it tomorrow for tomorrow, but

(01:07):
then Elvis can do it tomorrow. Yeah. So we had
a couple leftover family feed questions to make you guys fight.
We have two lies in the truth to truth and
a lie to about every woman on the show. And
of course we've got our flush the format. So this
is what it's like to prepare a show. We've never
prepared a show before. It's pretty crazy. I just want

(01:27):
to say thank you. Today's show was elevating. It was
it was, it was awesome. And of course we have
a tremendous family of great women here. Thank God, We're
very lucky. Also that the women actually get along with
each other. Yes, and so like you know, if Gandhi
says let's do this, or I say let's do this,
people are just like, okay, you know, daniel Staff. They

(01:56):
actually build each other up and they never tear each
other down, right, except for Diamond. I'm talking about that bit, Diamond.
That's a very good point. I think it could be
fun to just let the guys ask a question of
a woman, anything that's on their mind that they would
like to know the answers to anything. Mystery. Why are

(02:18):
you guys looking at me? That's a challenge. I'll tell
you why. Because you and Danielle are open books and
we know everything about you. What is there that we
don't know? Right? Oh, we tell too much information. I
think that's true. My mom says to me all the time,
I don't know why you felt the need to share
that there was no need. I know where I get
it from, though. I get it from my mom, and
she'll kill me. She says things in the car like

(02:39):
you know, She'll tell me, oh, Danny, I haven't pooped
in me to know the last time you pooped? Like
why are you telling me that? And then I think
about and I go, oh, that's me. I tell everybody
these things on you like, that's where I get it from.
Love you mom? What did you get from your mom
that you love? Oh? Um, that I love. She's very well.

(03:00):
I don't know if I actually got this, if anyone
would think that, but she's very compassionate and kindhearted. I'd
like to think of myself that way, but I'm not
sure that anyone else would, so very in my head.
In my head, that's the one she's fun. I call
her Chicken because she has very short hair. When she
wakes up in the morning, it's all a fluff, like
a baby chick. Chicken. I love you. Wait, my mom
has that two, but it's because it got burnt off

(03:22):
with a hair drive my I love. What I love
about my mom is that I feel like she's gone
through so much lately, like my dad passing the last
couple of years, and then her cat was like the
bad you know, it kept her going, like it gave
her the love, not that my dad gave her, but
you know what I mean, Like the pen is always
and then the cat died out of nowhere, and she

(03:43):
just finds a way to keep on going, be positive,
put a smile on her face, and you know she
has her days, but she's just she's just such a
positive influence. It just makes me so proud and happy.
When I think women, I think the word I think
of the word strength. I've always been surrounded by strong women.
I'm still to this day surrounded by strong women, and um,

(04:03):
you know, I shudder at the thought of not having
this women driven support system. I don't want it, never
will need. Yes, I have a question for the ladies
in our industry. I know it didn't happen here. When
was the last time you faced a roadblock in your

(04:23):
opinion because you're a woman, and did it slow you
down or motivate you? M I think until I came here,
it was honestly like a lot of roadblocks. I have
had bosses who were very supportive, but sometimes the staff
of the actual show that you work with might not
be as supportive as the bosses are. So I think
that there is a lot of we know this within

(04:46):
our industry. A lot of women on shows are the
quote unquote laugh box, and that's all the guys want
from them. Oh hi, Daniel, more a little more for it. Yeah.
I've seen radio shows from the seventies and in sixties
and eighties where the woman was in a box in
another room completely still do that. I actually worked with

(05:11):
a Yes, I actually worked with a woman who when
she wouldn't laugh, the male host would just press a
button and it would be her laugh that was recorded,
so that when he said a funny line to him,
he would have a laugh ready to go. I felt
like you were actually going to finish that thought you
were talking about. No, I just I what I wanted

(05:33):
to say was I'm so thankful for being here because
I have not worked in an environment where they were
so supportive of the women and so into what we
have to say. And I think you do a really
good job of understanding that our biggest part of our
audience is women. So you don't try to man splain
and you don't try to tell us this is what
women like, which happens all the time in this business, right,

(05:55):
So I appreciate that we have a voice here, in
actual voice, to be able to say the things that
we want to say, because I haven't experienced that before. Conversely,
I musta say this. I would be cheating myself and
this company if we didn't have operations like that, because
without without you, your input, your strength, this show would
crumble and fail. And I have no problem of admitting

(06:17):
that because it's true. I'm actually well, I guess I should.
We should be thanking you for our success, but it's
from a selfish place. Actually we would without you, we
would crumble and fucking fail. So there's that. So thank

(06:40):
god you're here, Thank you for having us. Wonderful if
this was an all male show, but most of them are,
and most of them have just one woman. Like having
as many as we have is kind of like something
that you don't see and letting them all have a
voice and every now and then take the mic, even
though you know a lot of people are behind the scenes,

(07:01):
but still they're hard from and we know who they are.
They're not just like shoved in a corner where you know,
we don't let them say anything, you're media. I can't
believe how hard and how far, like how hard women
have had to work and how far they've come, Like
I remember what you remember watching mad Men? That do

(07:21):
you guys were watching mad Men? But I know what
you're talking about. My mom, who worked in an office
in the sixties and was a secretary. She goes, it
was just like that, like women were treated like garbage,
Like the guys would come back drunk and flirt and
grab the women in the office, Like I can't believe
that that was okay, that was like okay, right, and

(07:44):
I appreciate your equality there. Overcome that, and then you
had to overcome the boundary of like being able to
have families, Like Bobby Brown said, I just all credit
to you, like two jobs. It used to be that
like if you got interviewed for a job, you would
be afraid to say, yes, I'm going to start a family,

(08:04):
or so they'd ask you, when are you planning a
starting a family? And if you said something, they'd right
away and say, oh, she's not going to be serious,
or her family is going to come first, We're not
going to hire her. And people had a lot of
women had a lot of problems, and they would lie
and say they weren't going to have families just so
that they could get a chance of getting that job.
I don't know what you're thinking about this. Who was
it was telling me about an ad placed for a

(08:29):
female position opened at a company. I think it was.
What did it say? Let me go back and look
at it. I'll read it to you exactly what it says.
And I'm wondering how they could get away with this,
and I'm okay. They're hiring for an event planner, and
the event planner says, we need somebody who likes to smile.

(08:49):
Then it says, in parentheses and all seriousness, if you
have RBF, we kindly request that you do not apply.
Brides do not like r BF on their wedding day.
Resting bitch face. Oh my gosh, kindly apply if you
have rest face. Wow. I would love to see the

(09:11):
applicants just sending like hedgehogs of their face. I'm really
curious to see if it's a guy who's hiring or
if it's a female. I don't know, but you know,
Gandhi brought up something earlier. I don't think we're on
the air she was saying off the air that the
double standard that exists. For example, if a woman says
she's taking time off to do something with her child

(09:33):
for a day, it's you know, she's never here, she's
you know, we we've got to do something about it.
But when a guy does it, it's like, oh, he's
the best dad ever. But they're both doing the exact
Dad's so fabulous, what a stand up guy. Meanwhile, Danielle,
which doesn't happen here, but if she were at another
company and said I'm going to go ahead and miss
the morning for muffins with mommy or whatever, it's here

(09:56):
we go again. So I can't because I love the Elvis. Elvis, Um,
this is happening. And he always says to me, you
know where you need to be, and I was, And
she still goes to the school as well. We have
such a large team of people, so if someone needs

(10:18):
to take an important day, an important beat in their
life to go do something else, we're covered. We're fine,
and we have that luxury. So there you go. Good
best work, flas Over. I need to have Schitzel with Schnauzer's.
You can take that day off, take that off. I
love it. I mean, I guess maybe before we close,

(10:40):
I would love to hear from each one of you
about a woman in your life who you appreciate or
a woman who made a difference. I'll start, Okay, Yeah,
I've said this before. THEA, THEA Mitchem Who is our she?
What is her official title? It's like I called her
the queen of the universe. She day and day out
always has her back and she and she will call

(11:03):
people out without fear, without fail if they need to
be called out. And she she's tremendous. I love THEA
and I'm so happy that you included her on your
roster of incredible interviews. Today's love. How could I not
shut out my girlfriend, Robin. She she's got a job
now where I've seen her grow over the last few

(11:24):
years as she takes on like literally twelve jobs in
one because as you know, the the you know, the
workplace environment right now with hiring people is not the
most easy easiest. So I've seen her like really uh,
you know, emerge in that in that position, and she's
really strong willed, intelligent. She puts up with me. That's
in itself because my mother is watching this and not

(11:47):
so maybe I should talk about my mom. She strut, Oh,
it's selling my mom. I mean, Daniel knows my mother,
Elvis knows my mother. My mom is somebody who is
very sweet, but is never ever afraid to speak her mind.

(12:10):
So I have witnessed that growing up that my mom
has always spoken out when she feels she needed to um.
And so I've seen a strong woman in my whole life.
And I wouldn't trade my mom for anything in the world.
I love her so much, and it's I've had such
a great, strong woman presence in my life. And the
day I was born, no I and I love the
fact that his mom is so funny, Like if you
meet his dad, you would think his dad like runs

(12:32):
runs the house. Oh no, no, no, no, like I
want three dogs. Okay, you got it, Yeah she does,
David Browdie, Well, that's tough, I would say, my wife
raising three kids and my mom praising me, which is
harder than three kids. That's probably true. Probably my dad

(12:53):
was police officers, so he worked crazy overnights, late nights
sometimes god prisoners not come home for whenever from sometimes
a couple of days. And she raised me. She taught
me how to throw a baseball She took me to
baseball games because my dad was at work during the games,
and so, um, you know, we built up quite a bond.
And she I wouldn't say she was a single parent,
but there were times that she was a single parent.

(13:13):
And my wife, uh I, I find it hard to
do two things at once. She finds a way to
do eleven things at once and raised three kids and
take care of the dogs and work full time, and
so I you know, I just if all women are
like those two. Uh you know, I got a lot
of work to do because every time my kids are like, well,
Mom got it done, and I don't. I did, Mom

(13:38):
did thirty I can't. I can't keep up. So the
two of them, that's yeah, I would say my wife Ali,
I've grown from watching her throw house parties at my
in law's house going there in high school to now
being a manager as a physician assistant, you know, getting
a let go at the beginning of the pandemic from

(13:58):
her job and then finding a job I'd be in
a matter of you know, hours and flourishing. And it's
She's a badass. She is. Ali's awesome and Scott to
be well, I mean, it has to be my wife, Amy.
She's a very strong woman for putting up with my
lunacy for almost twenty years, I mean, and raising two

(14:19):
uh teenage girls and one one tween and one teenager.
It's just it's tough. So you know, we're a good
team in that aspect. And and the fact that she
was able to start her own company throughout all of this,
and um, I just lots of lots of credit for
he to her for being able to you know, deal
with me as well. That is saying a lot, it is.

(14:40):
I see Andrew in the back, so we talked to
him as even listening. Yeah, Andrew approach tell us about
a strong woman in your life that she would like
to give a shout out to my mom. She is
the best human in the entire world. She's my best friend.
I love her so so much. She needs everything to me.
And uh my sister another really strong woman. And I
appreciate them so much and everything they've done for me

(15:00):
in my life. I love, I love this and I
can't help it. Noticed Nates especially suspiciously left the room
meet with men. He would say his wife for saving
his life when he has strokes. Yeah, he wants shut
out my mom, Mom and I Love You Morning Show
