Let Me Introduce Myself

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
You're waking up with fifth in the morning. Kiss, good morning.
I figured we'd do some introductions since we're full swinging
it into the fall routine. Now everyone's back to regular
scheduled programming. I know that there'll be a countdown somewhere
on social media that pops on my feet. That's got
the four grids, one of them that counts down the

(00:23):
days to Halloween, to Christmas, to Thanksgiving and the New Year.
Next thing you know, you blink and it's twenty twenty five.
We're in the middle of a polar vortex. So let's
enjoy it. Let's enjoy each there's company in the present
moment while we have it. I also figured, now that
you're in your new routine, there's a chance that you
might not know who I am or who you're listening to. God,

(00:44):
maybe I caught you in your brand new to Cincy.
I remember what that was like five years ago. I
always say you have a friend in me. I know
what that's like. So, and in honor of our Cincinnati
Bengals in the home slash season open against the Patriots,
I figured this was a perfect time to do it.

(01:04):
I am originally a New Englander, that is where I
came from. I grew up in a town called Lester, Massachusetts.
It's in central mass but I call myself a Bostonian.
Number one, it's easier, and number two, I lived a
majority of my adult life for about ten plus years
in the Boston area. So that's where I came from.
In twenty nineteen, actually in twenty eighteen, I went to

(01:27):
New York for a music summit. A part of my
job in Boston, I did overnights. I was the receptionist,
I did traffic, I did production, I did voiceover, I
did as I helped out on the night show. I
picked up as many jobs as I could, and one
of those was in the programming and music department. And
so the reason I came to Cincy was because in

(01:47):
twenty eighteen, I went to a music summit meeting, which
is where they would bring all the labels and then
all the labels would bring their new artists that they
wanted the programmers to me. And I like snuck my
way into this summit. I paid my way to get there.
I like stole someone's badge and I got in. But
that's where I met my former program director's name is

(02:07):
Josh You guys. Remember Josh used to do afternoons here
before John John came him and he said, Hey, we
have this opening up in Cincy, and I said, I'm
moving to Ohio. What are you talking about now? Five
years later, I'm looking to buy a house in Ohio.
That's so much I'm obsessed with this place. But anyways,
twenty eighteen, I came down and I auditioned. They offered
me a contract, and then they actually ghosted me for

(02:29):
a little while, and they circled back in the spring
of nineteen and said, hey, we have this position for you.
It wasn't what it is now. I had worked for
the Brooke and Jewble morning show for a little while,
and then the pandemic came in. Like most things in
our lives, when the pandemic came, it shifted and changed
a lot of what we do now right, And so

(02:51):
our company decided, Hey, we've got Tiffany here. We can
either bring on another syndicated morning show or we can
give her a shot. So when you think about this
big project that we do every day on the show,
you would think that there's guidance. You would think there's
someone telling me what to do. There's someone holding your hand.
And I want to tell you this right now. In

(03:11):
life in general, especially if you're in the midst of
beginning your career, no one is going to tell you
what to do. No one is going to hold your hand.
No one, no one. And that's what you think growing up.
You're like, well, somebody's got to tell me what to do.
Somewhere they don't. And so for the first year of
my show, which launched in twenty twenty one, I had
no idea what I was doing. But of course, fast

(03:32):
forward to twenty twenty four, here we are getting ready
to enter season three. I haven't quite announced or launched
season three yet, but we're on our way. Season two
has been operating for the last two years. And now
I live in Mount Adams. I've been there for five years.
I've built a community because of you, and I'll always
and forever be grateful for the opportunity that Cincinnati has

(03:53):
welcomed me. And will I wear a Patriots jersey this weekend?
I don't know. I haven't quite figured it out yet.
I love both the Bangles and the Patriots, all right.
Coming up after Katy Perry, she was on the Call
Her Daddy podcast yesterday. We're gonna talk about it in
