Well leave me around Rigo one or two point seven kids,

Speaker 1 (00:06):
So earlier we were hearing from Sisany about her story
here celebrating International Women's Day. She started in the Cinnamon
Rule shop in San Diego. And then of course is
here as our friend every single day in the morning.
And now it's Tanya's turn to retrace some of the
steps that led you here. I do feel like I've
witnessed a lot of the story now, not to here,
(00:28):
but to hear so from here inside of here, you
had a journey to here, and then you've had a
journey inside of here.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Yeah, does that make sense?
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Yeah, it's crazy that I've been like working with this
show for thirteen years. Like for you, that's so wild
that I've done anything for that long.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
It's also so remarkable and cool because did you get
a You didn't get a degree in journalism, Sysany.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Did you.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
It was an art degree with an emphasis in graphic
design and multimedia.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Yeah, right, I dropped out of college. But you are
the journalists of the team. Journalistial is a major. Yeah,
I graduate body did it?
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Funny enough? It was in print, not broadcast. But details details.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
You print your trending reports and then you read them
back then.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
That's right, that's right, that's right. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
So it all started for you wear on the.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Air Tucson, Arizona when I was at the University of Arizona.
So I worked for the Morning Show ninety two nine
in the Mountain, which was Jenny and Blake in the morning,
and it was my senior year of college, so I
was up at four am. But I was still doing
all my like partying and stuff because I wanted to
live up my senior year of college. So I like
party until one o'clock in the morning, and then i'd
(01:40):
like come home, get ready and just go to work
in the morning, and I'd kind of sleep nap in
between classes. It was pretty wild. But what's crazy about
my story when I look back on everything, getting fired
and getting dumped were two of the biggest blessings and
best things that ever happened to me. Because I was
working at this Morning shown Tucson, right and they it
(02:03):
was two thousand and eight, so they laid off basically
every part timer. Had I not been laid off of
that job, I was going to stay in Tucson because
my friends that were graduating college were having such a
hard time finding jobs. They couldn't get work because of
the recession, and so I was like, I'm not going
to leave this job. I have a job and they're
paying me and part time. Why would I leave had
(02:23):
they had I not been let go from that, I
would never have come back and tried to do anything
here in La.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
So that was like, sure, those things in life that
seemed so crazy for moments, Yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Can end up opening They open up the next door, especially.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
When you're so young, you know, like I took it personal.
I thought it was me. I thought I was doing
a bad job, when it was I was just a
number at that time, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
So before you started hearing O nine with us, Yeah,
what where?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
How did you get a job in La?
Speaker 3 (02:50):
So then I came back and I had to pay
to go to Santa Anna Community College in order to
intern here a clear channel at the time, because you
had to be at a school yet to be able
to get school. So I basically was working for Valentine
in the morning from five to eleven AM, and then
I would intern at MTV in Santa Monica, and then
I was living in Orange County, So I would just
(03:11):
kind of spend.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Spend your life in a car.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Yeah, I kind of spent my life in the car.
But what was really the changing moment was I got
this idea to put my resume on like a baby shoe,
and I decorated all the baby shoes with like adjectives
that described my personality. So I would put like driven, enthusiastic, positive,
and I set my resume all over Los Angeles. I
sent it to like Billboard baby shoes with baby shoes, Yeah,
(03:37):
with my resume saying trying to get my foot in
the door.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
No oh god, I was like, why baby shoe because
I could fit in the mail.

listening to adopt, which is to get my foot in
the door on a shoe with all your qualities.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Yeah. I remember I went to pay Less it stands
out and bought just like a bunch of baby shit.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I pay more, right exactly, you can pay less. Well,
it's a blessing that that all happened. Yeah, Tim got
you in because then you started on the Street team
and ended up here on the air in what twelve.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
In eleven, twenty eleven, early twenty eleven. And what's even
crazier is that I was going to quit this job
and move back to Arizona because of my boyfriend.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
And then he dumped you, and then he dumped me,
And I was not saying we had anything to do
with that. No, thank goodness, he did.
Speaker 3 (04:41):

Everybody here, Disney, you were not here in the morning
show for this, but I remember this as well.

And everybody wrapped their arms around me. Everybody was so
sweet and loving and encouraging through that season of life.
And then a year later I became like full time
on the mic, like it. My life completely did a
one eighty thanks to him dumping me.
