Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
One o six point it's seven forty eight. Honey, you
got twelve minutes. Twelve minutes. We're leaving at eight. That's
what I do at the house. It's coming producer, Kristen. Yeah,
we're talking about timing. Yeah, and uh yeah, my wife
likes it when I do time checks if we have
to leave somewhere.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
She gets busy out the door.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
Yeah, she's doing her hair, makeup all that she loses tracks.
So she actually likes it when I go countdown, give
me every five or ten minutes how much time we got.
And uh yeah, we're having a whole discussion here about
when are you really technically considered late to me?

Speaker 2 (00:31):
If you're on time, you're late, Yeah, because you and
I have like radio timing in our heads, so we're all,
I think we're like really particular about it.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
We're almost down to the minute, are you like us, Kristen?

Speaker 3 (00:43):
Normally I am, but I am. I end up being late.
That's the problem because I'm getting everybody else ready, and
I'm the same way I do that time check, like okay, guys,
ten minutes, five minutes, but I always have to give
that extra like, hey, we're gonna leave at seven thirty
even though we don't have to leave until seven forty five.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Yes, live, it works, It definitely works. I like to
do with Eric. I like to do a five minutes
mister cal because that's yeah, that's it. Yeah, at the
dressing room. Five minutes and he needs to go thank
you five minutes. That's the thing. But anyway, people running
late is like becoming very very common, and psychologists are

(01:21):
saying the reason that we think we're okay with it
is because of our phones. Like we think if we go, hey,
I'm running five minutes late, that it's okay. But it's
still not okay. And they are suggesting, in order to
boost your reputation, show up five minutes early, if.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Not earlier, I think I think five minutes early is
still kind of pushing it.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
If five minutes early, they say, there's a snap judgment.
On the positive side, people will see you as organized, determined,
and dependable. I think the only time it's not cool
to show up even five early is if somebody's throwing
a party. Yes, because I know how I am. I'm
like still vacuuming to the last second, Like you don't
want I told you people to come too early.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
I think I told you this. But you know Tom Pullman,
big wig here at iHeart Radio. I've known him for
thirty years. We're like family. And he used to invite
me to his house for Thanksgiving and it was like
you get there at noon, I believe. And this was
like back in the nineties. I used to go there
every year, and one year I got there so early
that his wife was still vacuuming and she made me

(02:22):
actually vacuum and get the house ready for the guests
because I got there so early. Yeah, so you don't
want to get there too early because you'll end up working.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Oh yep. Absolutely. You don't want to be somebody out
when you're supposed to sit back and enjoying food.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Now I think I'm losing my thought here. I forgot
I totally lost it, totally lost it.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
There was a golden no I hadn't.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Thought and it left. It left because I'm late. That's
what it is, a.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Running late, because I mean we can wrap up the conversation.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
It's fine text us if you run later, not four
four three six three.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
And does it stress you out? I get very stress
really bad if I'm running late. Yeah, for any appointment whatever,
it is yeah, yeah, or get or being responsible for
getting somebody out the door stresses me in a boo.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
It's funny that you're trying to get Eric out the door.
Usually it's the guy because we have less things to do. Yeah,
you know you women have the makeup and everything going on.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah, because Eric thinks, because I'm the guy and I
just have to go and my hair is done, I
can shower five seconds before we leave the house. It's like, no, no, no, no, no,
you need some prep time too.
