Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're waking up with fifth in the morning.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Hi, kiss let us seven one.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
Hi, good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
First of all, have you ever spent a holiday by yourself?
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Maybe that's like a normal thing for you.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Maybe it was because something happened in your life and you,
you know, like you went through a breakup or something,
and you spent it with not with the family that
you typically spend it with. Right, There's so many different
ways in which you could spend a holiday alone. One
I hear quite a bit too, is I moved back
to Cincy from somewhere else. In the friends circle that
I had maybe back in high school or early college
(00:34):
has kind of changed around a little bit.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Things are just different.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
I've learned with life, you grow, you evolve, and you change,
and that was kind.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Of the case for me. Last year.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
I decided to spend the holidays in a place that
felt like the most home to me, and that was Cincinnati.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
If you're like, wait a minute, what are you talking
about again.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Remember I'm originally from the Boston area, and I would
travel back and forth not only for my family but
at the time my significant other. And you know, that
kind of ended and my life evolved, and so for
my very first holiday in Sincy last year, I started
something called tiff Miss, which is a way to showcase
what Cincinnati has to offer people like me and all
(01:19):
the scenarios that I also just listed off, and it
was kind of this thing that started on social where
I said, I don't know what I'm doing here for
the holidays, can you help me?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
And Cincinnati really pulled through on that.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
You sent me dms in screenshots and locations and it
ended up kind of evolving into my season of Yes,
and I went all over the tri state to all
these random events. I had said, if your grandma makes
a kick ass eggnog, I want to be there. If
you have some sort of holiday chorus, I want to go.
(01:52):
And because of you, I was able to really start
to build traditions and memories in a place that I
really now called home. So we're and during the second
year of tiff Miss, and I want to introduce you
to Nicole Martis.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Nicole invited me into her home on Christmas Eve of
last year. Never have like we've never even spoken. You
sent me a message on Christmas Eve morning, probably at
like nine or ten, and you said I heard you
have nowhere to go, You're welcome to come to my house,
and to this day I thank you and your family
for that. So first of all, let me just like
(02:31):
publicly say thank you.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Oh you're welcome. It was super easy to have you.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
It was a good time.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
You know, the Martis family is a family of firefighters.
So if you want to see what it's like you're
a visual person. My story's got the link to it
right now. At the Tiff to F's Potter like the Wizard.
Your husband had heard that I had nowhere to go,
and he said what to you?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
He just messaged me.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
He was like, hey, Tiff from one of seven point
one doesn't have anywhere to go for Christmas Eve?
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Do you care for we invite her? And I was like, sure,
let's do it.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
And he gave me your contact and I messaged you
and there there it was.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
You know what was weird about that too? And it
was such a universe thing, Nicole, because you messaged me.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I think on.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Facebook, and I can't remember.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I think I might have been Facebook, and I haven't
checked my Facebook in maybe ten years old.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
So I just.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Happened to pop on there Christmas Eve. I wasn't quite
sure what I was going to do with my day.
I just knew that whatever I was going to get into,
I was going to make it feel like, you know,
a new tradition for me. But you guys really opened
up your door and that was such a good time.
So would you do it again? Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Absolutely, Okay, for sure.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Do you think I could come back?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Come on back please?
Speaker 4 (03:41):
I don't think anyone should ever have to spend any
holiday alone. I've done it before and I knew how
it felt, so I was like, oh, yeah, nobody has
to spend the holidays alone.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Our house is always open.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
We had done a white elephant, and I knew you
guys would be a dope family to spend holidays with
because my white elephant gift was a four logo, which Nicole,
it's still in my bridge, Like I might be bringing
that back. You should. People will love that for anyone
else that's solo for the holiday and is like, Wow,
(04:12):
this girl is crazy. You never met her before she
comes knocking on your door. What was like kind of
the first thing that you thought of when I showed up.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
I was just like I told everybody, so we have
a huge family, and I was like Okay, we have
you know, a radio superstar coming here, so you guys,
you better be nice, all right. We have a million
kids there and my husband is a talker too, and
he had some bourbon, so I think he was He
was more excited than anybody.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
I think he was so kind. And he's a retired firefighter.
So shout out to all the fire And this is
the firefighters in general, because you guys will most likely
be working on the holidays, but specifically the Covington Fire Department.
The whole family worked there. So should we do tiff
miss again this year?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Absolutely?
Speaker 3 (04:59):
I think that this is a good place to launch.
I typically like to do it right before we go
into Thanksgiving. If you are one single, if you're solo,
if your life is changed, you went through a life
quake recently in the last year or so, and you're
like not really looking forward to the holidays, let me
tell you Cincy is a great place to grow your
community and to start fresh and start new.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
This is something that we do on the air.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
This is something like I said, we'll do on social
So I like to start right here by saying one,
if you're getting ready to do Thanksgiving solo, this year.
I'm going to put up on my page at some
point in the next day or so just different tips
that I have at the TIF to F's potter like
the Wizard. If you're also a visual person and you
want to see what it was like to be at
the Martist family for Christmas Eve last year, you'll see
(05:43):
that video up there. And I ask you right now
to open up your door to anyone that is experiencing
anything similar. You know, maybe it's just like lightning striking
in a bottle right now, but if you know somebody,
if somebody in your community needs the help, just know
that it really does make a difference. And like I said,
if you have anything that you recommend that I have
(06:04):
to do and that I can share with our solo
community as well, message me and we'll get that stuff going.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Nicole, thank you, thank you so much for just You're
so cheerful and I think you really made our Christmas nuff.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (06:17):

Speaker 2 (06:19):
