(00:48):
Laura, Aaron, myself. SoI'm just gonna start with a listener
submitted question today. It was submittedthe end of last week. We haven't
really done a podcast since, sothis is the first time we're getting to
it. They were curious about ofour morning routine up until the moment you
sit down behind this microphone or onthe couch or in the chair in the
other room, until you start yourday here on Valentine in the Morning,

(01:08):
walk us through your morning routine.That's what people want to know. Okay,
who wants to kick it off?Ok? Okay, Joe, I
wake up. My alarm is setfor three AM, and I wake up
and I immediately make my bed.I go downstairs. You're shaking your head,
but I do make your bed everyday. First thing, first thing,

(01:32):
I have to go downstairs, makea cup of coffee, go upstairs,
shower, get ready, jump inthe car, drive over. Very
simple. Do you have coffee beforeyou get in the shower? Yes?
Interesting, yeah, waking up.Do you have coffee in the shower?
No? Not a not a showercup. Not a shower cup. Now,
some people do a shower beer.I don't even take big advocate of

(01:53):
the shower beer. Really. Inthe morning, John, before you start
the show, explained so much thatwakes you up, I'm telling you the
a coffee stays in the bedroom.It doesn't even go to the bathroom with
me. Yeah. That I'm verysimple, very simple routine. Ryn.
My alarm goes off and I crumbleinto a ball on the floor and I
lay there for about ten minutes andsometimes just stare at the ceiling. Then

(02:16):
question your life. Yes, andit's just I've done morning radio for over
twenty years and I'm not used toit. The alarm is still shocking.
Then I go downstairs, get onthe peloton, do a little ride with
my girl, Hannah Frankston, maybetoon day. So no matter how tired
you are, you hit that pelotonevery time, every day that it's not

(02:38):
about the exercise. If Hannah Frankstonwasn't a teacher, he wouldn't hit in
that peloton. She's a beautiful woman. And I was wearing something very revealing
this morning. But that do youever eat dirt bag? Do you ever
scan the workouts looking at the outfitsthey're wearing? Oh no, come on,
that's that you've gone too far ifyou stepped outside the bounds of decency.
John takes some control of the ship. All right, let's hit uh,

(03:00):
let's have someone from over there.Go. Let's go someone from over
there. Anybody in the audience,come on over Aaron. Alright, what's
your morning routine? Like? Hitus with it? Well, I wake
up about three thirty three thirty inthe morning, Arn's getting out of bed
in the car. Takes about fourfreeways to get here, in probably fifteen
accidents to get by. What doyou live? I live out near in

(03:23):
a town called Walnut, but it'snearly west Covina at darn Bar. Okay,
yeah, it's usually on a goodday, it takes about forty five
minutes to get here, but thatnever happens. So I try to leave
as early as possible, and Ialways text Brian in the morning that I
will probably be late here for you. But I get in, I print
out some forms for Battle of theSexes, I do what's called segging the
show too much, go ahead,and then uh, I deal with Brian's

(03:49):
garbage all day. Hey, bythe way, you're not the first that
position that you man in there.Everyone who's ever done it has hated Brian.
I'm not lying. It does feellike Hoyman, sweetest lady on the
planet, married now last in Vegas, two kids, wonderful lady, great
hair, hated Brian like hated him, like really. Valier Hernandez worked in

(04:13):
there for a number of years.Valerie one of my best friends. Just
a great lady, a real whot. Love her. We both have a
very similar sense of humor. HatesBrian. You know you hate Brian.
It's a love hate. We oursense of humor does mirror each other very
nicely. But am I missing anybodyelse that hated Brian in there. This
is the main ones who was beforeall them? Me? Oh no,

(04:39):
I mean I was in that position, but Brian was not my executive producer.
But I will say it's a it'sa complicated relationship being in that spot
with the executive producer because they're tellingyou what to do all the time,
you know, telling you what todo, and you realize, what do
they do? Agreed? You know. I remember feeling that way towards the
producer at the time, towards Nate, towards Bryan Briant, like Brian hold

(05:01):
I love them, but you hadthat complicated relationship. It's complicated because you're
being bossed around as well. Imean I used to do that job for
the Seacrest Show down the Hall,Yeah, and I feel like I mean,
I had a relationship with Mark,but I think it was different because
I could see him. I thinkhaving a glass between that room and the
studio where you can get more context, because I mean, Aaron, you
only communicate with Brian through what Facebookmessenger Facebook Messenger, and it could be

(05:26):
a little tough. I wish wehad a window, but yeah, they're
supposed to put in for a window, like years ago, I requested it.
They were supposed put it through capacksand stuff a window for right there
and for the other studio right there. I think they came in and measured.
They came in and measured everything,and it disappeared. Yeah, and
I think the Woody Show got digitallocks or something. I don't know.
The budget went somewhere else. Idon't know, into like measure ways that

(05:47):
they're going to update the studio.And then two years yeah, right,
Like every studio has what they callsignage in there, like Ellen k Coast
and Woody Show and Seacrest and obviouslyBig Boy and stuff. We were supposed
to have sign this year. Theyjust never gave it to us. Wrapping
is studio, they call it,And uh, we haven't had a budget
for it. But I tell you, I think about that a few times

(06:10):
a week. He's so cool inthe background as we post videos of us
doing stuff here in the studio.It'd be awesome if it's at like Valentine
in the morning on the wall somewhere. It won't. Yeah. What we
do have, though, is asign that says it's the most wonderful time
of the year, Christmas time,and here a Christmas sign we haven't taken
down yet because nobody can reach itthere is just leave it the most wonderful

(06:32):
time of the year. And isn'tit always the most wonderful time of the
year. It is. I thinkthat says Christmas about that, right.
There's no tree, there's no bells, no lights. It just says the
most wonderful recognizable phrase from Christmas.It's the most wonderful time of the year.
Rebranding, rebranding, gotcha, Laura'sstepped to the mic. Girl,
what's your morning routine? Like,I prior tize sleep, so I like

(06:54):
to set my alum twenty minutes earlierthen I should so I can snooze it.
And I feel like a little bitrebellious. Yes, you know,
you're like, I'm able to getout right now, and then I give
myself twenty minutes to get ready.I know it's shocking, and I looked
this good every day. Twenty minutesand I'm in the car and then I'm
here. Gotcha, I would muchrather be sleeping. Yeah, no coffee
before you get here. I havea coffee for the car ride. Yeah,

(07:17):
it takes about half an hour.What do you listen to for that
half hour of the car ride straighteight m every morning, like it is
like glaring in my car. Well, this is kind of like Blorom for
people. But with daylight savings nowI can talk to people in Australia with
the time difference. So now Italk to my best friend every day for
the thirty minute. Oh that's cute, but yeah, that's why. Usually
I'm standing at that door being like, all right, don't wrap it up,

(07:39):
babe, I'm gonna go into it. I love Dom dollar two.
Yeah, what about you vouch.My routine is the alarm goes off quite
early, and then I hit snoozeon it forbid. Then the secondary alarm
goes off. I'm like, ohman, and then my wife gets mad
because my alarms are going off somuch. And then I sit there for
like maybe like ten to fifteen minutesreading the news. I'll go through ap
and through different news sources to findout if something in the world just happened

(08:01):
that we need to know about onthe air, Like, you don't want
to walk in and go, oh, guess what this blew up? What
I didn't know, So it's betterto kind of know that before the show
starts, and then I, youknow, get out of bed. I
crawled to the shower stand in theshower, question my life, of my
existence. And then I decide.My big decision is do I use her
shampoo or my shampoo? Do Iuse her body wash or my bar of

(08:22):
soap? Because she's caught me usingher body wash before, and she'll come
up and give you that sniff testlike hm. Because her body washes her
body wash. It's very expensive.It is crazy how good girls are doing
that. Once in a while,I will shower at Olivia's. Yes,
and when I'm in her shower,it's her and her roommate that lived there,

(08:43):
right, I like, don't wantto look through all the bottles,
and I like her roommate shampoo,so sometimes like I use her roommate shampo.
You smell like her roommates. Andthe minute I get out of the
shower, I will walk by Oliviaand she'll go, you use my roommate
shampoo. She knows immediately and she'slike, I'm gonna have to buy her
a new one if you keep usingit all. Yeah, but that is
also such a great cover for anylisten behavior, it's just my roommate's shampoo.

(09:05):
It's not the roommate, I meangetting out of the shower. I
don't know why with the roommate.So anyway, so then I'm sitting there
in the shower, question my existence. Get out, you know. I
just I put my deodoran on.Then I put my shirt on, and
then I get deodoran stains on myshirt and I take five minutes to wipe
the deoduran stans off my shirt.Whatever after your shirt. I don't know,

(09:26):
really, Valentine. Thing, wejust we just gotta learn to accept
it and love it. Just behappy and wearing yodorant. Then I struggle
to get downstairs. So usually Imisplaced my wallet and stuff looking for my
keys, and I have to getout of the house like a ninja.
Everybody wants me to have the lightsoff, like I can't turn the lights
on in the bedroom, and Ihave to sneak into my closet to get
my clothes and then close the closetdoor behind me so the light don't bother

(09:48):
her. And even the dogs getmad. They picked their heads up off
the bedroom if I make any noiseor any lights like a shower in the
dark sometimes, you know, Andthen I just struggle to get out,
get in the car and drive towork and listen to news on the way
to Michael's. Oh, Michael,I'm so sorry. Well, do we

(10:09):
vote for an extra two minutes?Or is Michael get the chef? I
vote for Yes, it passes.Michael. You're routine. Please, Well
looks a little different since I don't. I live on the opposite side of
the country and I have a toddler. So I wake up around seven o'clock
to my son babbling to himself inthe crib. Get him up, get

(10:31):
him dressed, get him breakfast,get myself breakfast, let out the dog,
play with him for a little bitbefore he goes to school, Take
him to to daycare, come backto my house and sit down with a
nice cup of coffee at my desk, And then our show is starting by
that point, and then your showis starting at that point. How long
