Speaker 1 (00:06):
I'm all join.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
I'll good.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
What are we doing?
Speaker 3 (00:14):
It's Miami Lydia.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
That's right, I'm about to bring in the bottle service.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Your host in this week. I am all right.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
I'm excited rate it on a scale one to ton.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
I get very, very excited for this podcast because it
gives opportunity to people that you know, want to talk
about certain things on the show and don't always get
their opportunity to.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
All right, well, speaking of things I want to talk about,
Megan had mentioned probably in our first podcast that she
wanted to talk about topics and how topics are chosen.
So I want to get right into that.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Oh that is a good one.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Yeah. Good.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
Behind the scenes, my intentions were not as good as her,
right it, don't you pick my topic?
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Yeah, well I wanted to get into that a little
bit more so. I wanted you guys to think about
at least one topic that you guys have sent since
I've started producing, and I want to talk about why
it wasn't chosen or why it might be chosen in
the future. Okay, I've got so everyone open up your
lappy toppies.
Speaker 6 (01:19):
I don't need to do that. I got one off
the top of mine.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Of course you do.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
I just tell Kevin his topics aren't chosen because they're stupid.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Yeah, your topics are stupid. That is true.
Speaker 7 (01:32):
I had a topic after Shannon a wedding reception, but
her friend wanted to fuck me or like A was flirting.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
With That's why I wasn't chosen.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
You're gonna point her out in a picture.
Speaker 6 (01:48):
Zach was there?
Speaker 5 (01:49):
That seems like.
Speaker 7 (01:54):
Tony was there.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Explain what what means that she wanted to you just
wanted to dance with have like all night. I remember
her wanting to jump his bones so hot.
Speaker 7 (02:04):
So it initially started, Well, I guess I can bring
it up here we be on our show, so there
was a point in case we were get up on
the show. There was an introductory period where Charill and
I were there, and the energy shifted once Charille wasn't there,
and it was like the minute Charille got up, it
was like come on. And not only was it come on,
it was like, now's your chance, Charill is gone.
Speaker 6 (02:26):
Like it was literally vocalized as such.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
I miss so much at your wedding because I was
drunkenly texting my landlord about different units.
Speaker 8 (02:33):
I wanted in my building.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
You tell all of these stories and things that half
I was like, I was not there.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
It wasn't selected.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Yeah, I think that one could have been left in
the drafts.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I don't know. I kind of like that one.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yeah, like okay, so yeah, well I want you to
point out who it was first.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
I don't get anybody.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Is this person in a relationship or not in a relationship?
So is a married friend wanted to? As you said,
fuck your bones.
Speaker 7 (03:01):
But here's the thing, though, here's the thing, so Lydia,
why wasn't that selected?
Speaker 4 (03:05):
I mean, I don't know. I didn't think that that
would be something that Shannon would be open to talking about.
But I guess that is something.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
So did you have a conversation with Shane. No, I
never made the executive We just stopped.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
We had just hit a point where we stopped talking
about the wedding after.
Speaker 6 (03:20):
But that's what I'm saying. Why wouldn't like you.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Recapped everything and then you had sent that after So
you did, Yes, you did. You did not send the
question the same time.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Question for you on this do you ever pick or
not pick a topic based on how you feel like
it's going to hurt the person at home, because I
would think that in a topic like that, unless maybe
it was brought up in Kev's home. But would that
cause issues for you, keV in your house? Or did
did Cherrelle already know that that wasn't probably something okay
(03:49):
because you set you into the bathroom and stuff, and
I don't want to know.
Speaker 7 (03:52):
It wasn't listen, it wasn't a big thing like I
didn't look at it like it was like monumental or
life changing or it would have cost issues in her
relationship or my relationship.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
I didn't think of it like that.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
How do you know that the person wants to fuck
your bones just by asking you to dance? Because that
wouldn't they be just asking you to dance?
Speaker 7 (04:11):
I think the I think the way that she asks
and made the point of only asking. Once Cherill left
and said like now's your chance, Like she's gone, But.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
Even Tony was there, he was like, no.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Curious, it wasn't the friend I thought it was.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
Wait, what frame you think it is?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Well, Zach just pointed her out to me in a picture.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
What color was she?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I am?
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Not?
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Which which friend did you I am? Why did you
think it was your other.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Friend, because she is single and like just loves flirting
and dancing and partying. So she would be my first
guest because it wasn't her.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Because wouldn't it be interesting if it was. Because she
says it she wants to fuck your bones, then you
got two girls they're wanting to fuck your bones. Three
girls because you got Charrell there. Dude, you got three
girls wanting to fuck your bone. Could have been zero,
but that's how I interpret It's so funny. I feel like,
if a girl talks to me, oh my god, there's
a chance. But that's wild.
Speaker 7 (05:08):
But that's just the first, the one of a thousand
topics that Lydia has a selected.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Any that don't do all that? You had your one topic.
Let's wrap it up. You don't need to add in
the thousands.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
I just say that's just the one and one of
the Lady. How do you rate Kevin's topics?
Speaker 4 (05:21):
I would give them a six and a half out
of ten because here's something that I find common, and
this is a piece of Kevin's is that it will
be something related to what we had already talked about
the day before, Like yeah, we'll talk about like catch
up being on the ground, and Kevin go home the
next day and he'll be like, guess what, there was
(05:43):
mustard on the ground. He'll put that in his topics.
It's like we just talked about condiments on the ground.
Speaker 7 (05:47):
I think how the human mind works, and oftentimes when
you have a conversation and you leave it, you always
think of what you should have seen it. So some
of it comes from just how human mind works.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Yeah, but it's not a storyline.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
And I think when you're searching for a topic, sometimes
you don't get an idea until you hear go, oh yeah,
I got it, I got one. You know.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
You know, it's kind of funny you mentioned that. That's
a good thing. You mentioned that, because like, for example,
we just like we're shooting the shit about the topic.
Then you're like, yeah, that's good. Like it. But sometimes
when you're thinking about stuff in your head, my head
only goes in one direction. So when I say things
or I schedule a certain topic and then you guys
are like, I like this one better, it does give
me perspective. Sometimes I get offended because I'm like, wait,
(06:27):
I like this topic. I saw where it was going.
And then sometimes you guys are like, well, wait, where
is that really going? And I'm like, eh, they might
be right.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
I get really upset when I put in a good
topic and I know it's a better story once I
tell it, and I'm trying not to spoil it in
the topics, and you'll choose something else and I'm like, no, no, no, no, no,
let me tell the story. It's a better story than
the one you want on the air.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
And that's why I think I talk to you the
most in the morning, because I need more insight as
to where we're gonna go with it or what more info.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Because I'll tell you in depth, like what the joke
is or what the point is, and then you're like, oh, I.
Speaker 8 (07:00):
Love that right where. I wish I could.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Do one sentence topics when we send them to each other,
just to.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Be like, so there's no spoiler.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
Yeah. It kills me when we do a topic and
everybody knows what it is going on.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Well do we all have to act too? I hate
to say it, but we all know. Sometimes what the
topic is going to go. We have to play ten
that we don't know. I do think that Megan comes
up with great topics that are not necessarily in her
topic sheets that she writes the night before. I think
that she'll go, well, I was gonna put this in,
and I'm like, well, put that in. That's a great
topic of a lot of her your dating topics. I
(07:33):
feel like you don't really when that happens.
Speaker 8 (07:35):
Yeah, Lydia and I talk almost every morning.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Yeah, and sometimes you come up with topics that you
didn't even write, write them, Like you just said, said, can.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
I tell you the kind of topics so that I submit?
Speaker 7 (07:44):
That kill me?
Speaker 5 (07:45):
That we never talk about because there's a theme, mind's
more of a theme than an actual topic itself. I
think we miss out on discussing big tiktoks. And I'm
not talking about trends. I'm talking about things that start
long form discussions on the platform.
Speaker 8 (07:59):
And the big one that I sent.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
This week or last week was the Kiwi debate. And
I bet the guys on the show have no idea
what that is. And I'm guessing the girls are like, oh,
I saw every girl stitch this video and argue about
whether or not the husband was in the right or wrong?
Speaker 1 (08:15):
You know what I think though? With that, I think
that's almost like trending news or dirty, like I almost
think that sometimes I think that when Lydia and you
can correct me on this, you're looking for a personal
topic about Meghan and you don't want to use one
of the slots that's Megan's slot for something that's a
TikTok thing.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Yeah, that's true, because I see you guys all have
your own storylines. I feel like, and I like where
you're going with that, because Meghan, you are the one
with the topics that sometimes will not be a personal topic.
And I like that about you because that is your character.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
So I think, Megan, you sometimes need to, like keV
and I do send that as a hey, we should
talk about this in trending news.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Motherfuckers never open watch or do anything I said in
the group job, I have to submit it as a topic.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Why do you have to make it seem like it's
that's not the case. You never fucking send any of
that shit. You never, if you, if you, yeah, and
if you send that, you send never. Hey, here's a
TikTok trend we should talk about. It's usually you'll send
something random about Chapel roone or something. I don't know.
I think you should I think you should say hey,
(09:23):
if you're doing Tony news today, or speak up and
just go, hey, we're doing twenty news today. This is
a TikTok trend that I'm seeing all over the place.
We should talk about this, Okay, Okay.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
I have to comment on this.
Speaker 9 (09:35):
I think that the same way that we do like
lyon for the Lions, and I know that's ticket related,
but just like little funny things like we do funny,
little quirky segments occasionally, doesn't always have to be personal.
Speaker 8 (09:47):
I think what Megan is saying is we should try.
Speaker 9 (09:48):
And incorporate young person trending things into something that we're
doing on the air, even if it's just for five minutes,
because there is benefit to that.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah, well, that's exactly what we're saying though, But I
think Lydia doesn't choose it because you'd rather choose Megan's
dating topic or something that makes Megan more personal to
the listeners than the TikTok trend that Megan sees other
people do.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
But you're just saying we should just talk about it.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
I think we missed for you water cooler talk on
this show when it comes to TikTok stuff all the time.
The fact that we never talked about like I choose
the bear is crazy to me because that was something
that hundreds of thousands of people were making videos about
and we never mentioned it.
Speaker 8 (10:26):
Like I do think sometimes the.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
Water cooler talk of like we talk about football, we
talk about you know, obviously trending celebrity news, and I
do think we miss some stuff on TikTok, and the
keiwied debate was a big one.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Now I am full disclosure not on TikTok for many,
many reasons, and I feel so out of the loop sometimes.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
So now I'm like, what the fuck is the key
Wei debate? Somebody tell me it's driving. Here's like the.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
Brief synopsis was a guy told his wife he was
going to Costco. She said, awesome, the kiwis are on sale,
and he didn't come back with kiwis?
Speaker 8 (10:59):
Should he have?
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (11:01):
Every woman was saying yes, oh, okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
So what about this. I've talked about this before. Uh
the idea, what if during a dirty reporter at that time,
we do the dirty and then we go all right,
and now now here's Megan's what's trending one?
Speaker 5 (11:18):
I like that, but sometimes I don't want to force.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
It doesn't have to.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Always be no.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
It could be when you have something tell me.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
I mean, yeah, that's a great idea.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Let's do it.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Yeah, Like, there was one story that I should have
spoken up about, but we talked about it and here
of Tiana, Robllard and Cody Ford who plays for the
Cincinnati Bengals. That was a huge that's still a hot
story on TikTok, but we just never talked about it. Yes,
it was like a TikTok story. So, Megan, you do
have a great point.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Who is it?
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Like it?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
What about a personal topic that she's not chosen that
you thought was was good?
Speaker 7 (11:50):
Me?
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yeah, does she ever not choose any Oh?
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Yeah, all the time. But I didn't want to pile on.
Oh that's okay, Well.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Come back to that's the one that I look for.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Let me go, Mojo, what say you?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
I usually tell you in the show meetings, I like
this topic better than that topic, so I usually speak
up right away. But I you know what I'm trying.
I'm looking back at some of my stuff. I don't
know I cause I look back and I go, I
get why she didn't choose it. This one's kind of whatever,
you know.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
And some of them are like short winded, Yeah, I
think I can. It's not going to go.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
If I here's the thing. If I want to do
something really bad and you don't choose it, I just
do it.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
That is not on there what is doing, And.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
I'll just do it because I know that my gut
tells me that it will it will be okay. And
there are times where it doesn't do well, and then
I just quickly moved all right, now, let's go to
the next topic because that really failed miserably.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
But when they do do well, I get really excited
and I'm like, I told Mojo this before. I'm like,
I get jealous. I'm like, damn, why the fuck didn't
I schedule that. I'm so pissed.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
I like this one. Do women grade their shits? Guys? Guy?
I use guys always will look at their sheds and go, oh,
that's like a ten out of ten? Do women do
that too? Do you guys look at your shits and
go that was a no?
Speaker 4 (13:10):
No?
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Do you look back at your ship before you flush it?
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Oh? You know?
Speaker 2 (13:13):
I you know, I don't create them, but I am
impressed with myself sometimes.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
I mean no, I.
Speaker 8 (13:18):
Mean I make sure, there's no no health issues.
Speaker 9 (13:20):
Like if I got blood in my stool, it means
I got an issue, Like.
Speaker 8 (13:23):
That's what I want.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
You don't never look back and go, oh my god,
that was longer than a ruler.
Speaker 8 (13:27):
No, I actually eat my fiber.
Speaker 9 (13:30):
Actually, what doesn't that mean you do have am Yeah,
that means that means it's ops.
Speaker 8 (13:34):
That means I need to eat more fiber. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
I always wonder sometimes, like when you're in the bathroom
for a period of time, because Chelsea says, I'm in
there way too long. I'm not going to the bathroom.
I'm just looking at what I went to the bathroom
and dead. Yes, throw.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
I get kind of upset when my toilet papers in
the toilet and it's covering the full shit because I'm like,
I wanted to look back.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
That's where you need the ship knife. What about Shannon?
Is there anything that Why am I hosting it? Your host?
Go ahead? Letdia ask shon what about you?
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Okay, So two things. I feel like you do a
lot of my personal topics.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
There are like some that like I I was just
going back and looking through my emails of what I
sent to you, Like there was one and the only
reason it's top of mind is because it just happened
yesterday and Megan saw it. Where like Wes does this,
I think it's super fricking creepy where he takes photos
of me when I'm sleeping next to him in bed
and then send them to me the next morning. I
(14:35):
run back up, why do you do that?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Like that? I hate that?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
But sometimes I will and I don't know if this
happens to any of you guys. I will send my
topics at night and there may be one, and this
happens every so often that I'm like kind of nervous
about doing. And then I wake up in the morning
and I'm like, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck fuck, why did
I send that to my topics? I already put it
out there and I'm not ready to talk about it,
or maybe like I don't want to talk about it
(15:02):
and I can't. You're going to ask me for an
example of one, and I can't. No, no, But I
wasn't going to ask you for an example.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
But sometimes when you're the first one here in the morning,
he'll tell me like, hey, actually, let's hold off on that.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Yeah, I do, But then it's already like been put
out there, and so this one over here will be like, well,
why do you put your top?
Speaker 3 (15:18):
You should just do we should do it, we should
talk about it. So I do have that, but some.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
Of ours get put on the schedule and then never
get done on the show, like it skipped multiple days
and they never make it on the schedule again. So
my personal one, because Mojo had asked earlier, was, uh,
my girlfriend's husband got caught cheating out.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
That is a good one because.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
He was cheating with one of the coworkers, so both
the coworkers got fired. So she like literally is going
through a divorce and they don't have any income right now.
And I think that's such an interesting and it was
on the schedule.
Speaker 8 (15:48):
Like four times, not making the schedule.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
But sometimes when we schedule things that I think are
like better or if it's a War of the Roses
day and I feel like it coincides too much with
War the Roses or second days cheating, I won't choose it.
But if it's a personal like as yesterday's show, if
you think about the schedule I scheduled, we still did
a dating topic and we still had second date update
because I like that, like I like when there's something
personal in dating going on in our lives, but we
(16:12):
can also have second date update to open it up
to listeners.
Speaker 7 (16:15):
Like it when I sent a topic in that don't
get selected and then somebody else bring it up and
then it's day topic, I'd be like, that was a
lot of mind. I used to keep a list I
had about for it and bitch and I was like,
you know what, let's just charge it to the game.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
It is what it is.
Speaker 8 (16:31):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I don't really get
a pissed about topics. Were too many other things.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
You can get pissed.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
Topics every day.
Speaker 8 (16:39):
I know, I know, But like, here's the thing.
Speaker 9 (16:41):
I guess what my beef would be is the one
or two times I do send topics during the week
and someone else is the same topic as me, They
get scheduled for that topic and I'm like a bystander
of the topic.
Speaker 8 (16:50):
It's like that was actually my topic.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
But anyway, get Lydia just smiling.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
I like that, KP. You know it kills me it
one more time.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Do you ever have the day where you have like
six good topics and you send them all in and then.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Usually Sunday I'm not doing that.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Monday mornings are like my favorite.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
But you you send them all in and then only
one or two gets chosen. And then you send some
topics in during the week and you're busy and you
just don't have good topics, and.
Speaker 8 (17:16):
They don't go back to the good topics.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
They choose one of the shitty ones, and you're like,
go back to the weekend.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Never you know what you need to do.
Speaker 6 (17:23):
I don't know more you need for that.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
I need more to choose from some times.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
When you eat, when you send your email instead of
sending putting, if you think that there's a better topic,
you should just put that right up to the top.
Yeah the problem. Yeah, Mike would do that all the time. Mike.
I'll tell you, I think we missed Mike a lot
on the show with his topics because he always Mike
was had great topics all the time, and because you know,
(17:48):
he didn't get to do a ton of topics on
the show. He would do like maybe one or two
a morning. We wouldn't get to his And I used
to say to Mike, stop, you know, copy or forwarding
the same emails all the time. Just copy paste and
put your best shit up to the top because he
had really really good topics sometimes that never got chosen
because honestly, who's going back till February when you're in
(18:12):
October to pick topics.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Everybody in this room will agree that there is no
anxiety like the anxiety of it being nine pm and
you have not a damn topic. It is the worst
and nothing in the reserves that's like good.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Yes, Yes, those are the days where I group chat
everybody close to me in my life and I go,
everybody's on the topic right fucking out.
Speaker 7 (18:36):
I'm gonna go through some of my oh emails and
fun some serious that's the day that That's the day
that I go and I look at the Kiwi tiktoks
and figure that out.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
I will say this with Lydia. I think that Lydia
does a great job of picking out the topics and
then scheduling it through the show so it tries to flow,
because that's a really hard thing to do. Where are
you going? Are you leaving? Well, say goodbye to everybody
on the podcast so they don't think that you all
of a sudden got ignored. You have to leave and
(19:09):
go to an appearance. Hey, let's later, Let's do one
of Megan's topics now that she's leaving. Which topic should
we do without you?
Speaker 5 (19:18):
Whatever one I just had was my favorite? Actually do
my friends this week?
Speaker 1 (19:27):
I want to have that. That actually should be a
topic that we do on tomorrow show, just so we
see if people actually listen to this podcast. Lydia, I
will say this to you that all the years that
I've done this thing, I had different, you know, producers
I've had I don't even know how many producers one, two, three, four, five, six,
(19:49):
maybe six or seven producers over the years. I think
you and Ellen were the best at picking out I.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Said this to her the other day. She was having
a hard day and being really hard on herself. I
say this, Lydia in the morning, and I said, I
think that you are the best producer of this show.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Like you you.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Get us, You get the vibe, you get the direction
that you just get it.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
You know why do and you care.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
You care about the show and you care about us individually.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Well, it's my life and you guys are like a
huge part of my life. And I love this part
of my life. I hold it sacred to my heart,
and I committed to loving it and working hard towards it,
and I want to make sure that you guys are
taking care of in the show is taking care of it.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
But the other night you came in and you said
you couldn't even sleep because you like, there were top
there were topic things I don't want to, you know,
get too much into your business that were like bothering
you and that, I mean that just says so much
about one you need to fucking sleep, but two, like
you care so much.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
Like there are times when I go back and forth,
like look at yesterday's how Mojo, I really appreciated when
you were like, well, we had my g at this time,
and then I was like, oh wait, you're right, And
I was like, wait, I have to rearrange the schedule
here and there, because it does give me that push
of like what if we had Megan's topic yesterday and
we did it at the time that I had it scheduled,
and then the girl who matched with her on hinge
(21:15):
never heard it because time It's so it's so amazing
to me to listen back and look back at show
schedules and think, wow, like certain times actually really mean
something like they do.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
I think Lydia is different than a lot of the
producers that we had on the show before, because out
of every producer they got hired for the job, Lydia
really wanted this job, like she was a fan of
the show. And I think that she's listened to how
many years have you listened to the show?
Speaker 4 (21:47):
I started listening. I can remember since second grade, So.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
It's probably Isn't that weird, is it? By the way, I.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
Was listening in the car when Shannon had her first day. Wow, Well, yeah,
I don't know what you know. I don't think that
was the time.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
But I oh, okay, hope not because that was a
very inappropriate topic.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Okay, but it is.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Actually, but I remember the day you got hired.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
But it's interesting because one of our past producers, Chad Mitchell,
made a comment to me because he listens to the
show on our podcast, and he talked about how he
goes your phone screening is the best it's ever been,
and it's with Lydia, Like he's like, you don't understand,
because Chad also does radio still and he said, I
don't ever get like three of your calls on a
(22:32):
given show that are really good. You guys get them
three in the same break, and that is all phone screening,
and he knows that as a producer that that shit
doesn't just have that A good show doesn't just get calls.
A producer gets calls.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
I also think that this is like the Lydia love.
I also think a huge part of the reason this
show is as successful as it is right now is
because of all of Like half of your job.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Is phone screening.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
The other half of your job is behind the scenes
wrangling all of us, keeping this chemistry what it is,
keeping the vibe of the show what it is, you know.
And I think that you do a really good job
of keeping all of that stuff up as well.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Yeah, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
You're kind of you're kind of psychologists for people too,
Like she'll she does do this and all by just
to let you guys know. She'll tell me, hey, you know,
Zach's Zach's having a struggle right now, Like she can
tell me when people are struggling, and so it's like,
you know, you should give him a call or whatever.
And the deal is no offense. Ac I do call
you when I want to call you, but she'll tell
me stuff or she'll say, hey, I'm in the other
(23:36):
room with you know, KP. And she's got a lot
of shit on her plate. You should, you know, you know,
call her like. She'll tell me things like that, which
is great that she does that, because I think, honestly,
I think we all kind of want to know if
we all don't pick up on things that we need,
you know, to maybe try to be there for each other,
you know.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
But for sure, look at that, like you guys. No,
I really love you guys, And I love our listeners
so much. I feel like I couldn't really do this
job without them, even though sometimes they're like Lydia, hold on, wait, wait, wait,
I have to gather the rest of my story. I'm like, no, no, go,
it's go time. And I press like the button. They'll
tell me like a little like blurb of their story
and I'll just write what I can up on that
(24:16):
call screen board and I think.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Something trying to be like, I just got to get
you through.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
I'm sorry, he's gonna wrap up.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
What's the most annoying thing about producing this shit.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
That Zach hit the nail on the head. It is
when they text and I'm like ring ring, ring, ring,
And now I started sending really nice texts where if
you can't pick up the phone, it's fine, just say
I can't talk, because then it wastes my time when
the phone lines are ringing and you sent me a
really good text, but I want to see if I
can get that text or on. And sometimes it's just
luck of the draw where I pick up that phone
(24:48):
call and I miss the text call, like I just
let it go because you're not answering me, and then
that phone call I pick up is very similar or
maybe even better.
Speaker 6 (24:56):
Well, Dylan with us, what's the most annoying thing?
Speaker 3 (24:58):
That's what I reb good question.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
It's definitely when you guys second guess what I choose
for topics. Yeah, like it's like I have a storyline
in my head, but I appreciate it at the same time,
Like I had mentioned, it helps me grow. But sometimes
I'm like.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
Damn it so like flip shit that really off.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
No, it doesn't piss me off, Yes it does me
for Reue, it doesn't. It doesn't piss me off. It
just makes me feel like I'm like, I could have
done that better.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
Does it make you feel like he doesn't trust you
as a producer?
Speaker 4 (25:28):
It depends on the day.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
What makes you feel like I don't trust you, which
when I because when I tell you, hey, we just
did the topic now.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
It gives me like a perspective. It does, for sure,
but it's like something it has its weeks, Like there
are weeks where I'm like, uh oh, I think he
just doesn't feeling the trust today, does not feel my topics.
Speaker 7 (25:49):
What's my biggest opportunity to grow that you see as
a producer?
Speaker 4 (25:55):
What do you mean your biggest opportunity?
Speaker 6 (25:57):
I don't say it like what could you do better?
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (26:01):
What can I be doing better yourself in the show?
Speaker 6 (26:02):
Yeah? I think assis you.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
You know, assist me?
Speaker 7 (26:07):
Okay, I mean like everybody does something that makes your
that makes your job harder, Like, what is something that
I can.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
I definitely think working on topics and then maybe sticking
around a little.
Speaker 6 (26:17):
Bit longer, like we got ship to do, got ship
to do.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
I still feel like it's connectivity and time here with
each other. There are times when we're just sitting here
and just having small talk, and I think sometimes you
do miss out on that because you're not here, Like
you leave right after this where you're going where everybody
else going.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Sometimes you know what though, I do think that Kevin
uh uh. If he doesn't have anything, I'd get the
fuck out of here too. But I think that it's
not bad to say It's not bad to say, hey,
you know what, stick around a little more. We're gonna
chop ship.
Speaker 7 (26:50):
I probably spend the most time in just lity and
k to anybody else on the show.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
True, this is true.
Speaker 6 (26:57):
You just want me around, But yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
I don't want you to stick around.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
How does everyone feel about what I just said?
Speaker 1 (27:09):
I love I love it.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
I'll be honest. Do you like what I said about
like the weeks and the days and the choosing the topics.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Yeah, it's great. I wish you would. I wish you'd
just come up and say that sometimes.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
I mean I did. We had a phone call about it,
and you said you're challenging me, which gave me a
different perspective.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
But I also I think that I think we all
got to challenge each other, you know what I mean.
I think there's I think there's times where we I
hate to say it, but we all are going through ruts.
I go through tons of ruts. I mean, I feel
like I'm in a rut right now, and it's because
I got a lot of fucking people at my house
right now, and I'm not getting a lot of sleep.
(27:46):
But I think it's good to say, hey, you know what,
you know, we got to pick it up a little bit.
I also think it's okay to be in a rut,
you know what I mean. I don't think the show
is always going to be I think sometimes you gotta
get you know, sometimes she you got to have perspective
that not everything is going to be a plus.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Yeah, or and Lydia knows this, Like, there's so much
stuff happening in my life that I can't talk about
because it's like either not my story to share or
it will really be detrimental to a specific relationship that
I need to be good If that, if you can
catch where I'm going with this, and like I can't
(28:27):
talk about certain things and that is so super frustrating, and.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
Then we can just use it for later if you
do decide to talk about.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
It, right, I thought, Still it's hard.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
I will tell you that one of the topics today
that to me was an awesome topic, And it wasn't
awesome because it needed a bunch of phone calls. It
was awesome because I think that it hit home for people.
Was your topic today about you just talking about how
you're you're going through, you know, a time right now
(28:56):
where you just feel like you can't get everything done.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Yeah, well trying to say yeah, like I think it
was so relatable.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Yeah, and even that one, like after I sent it
and I walked in this morning, I'm like, I haven't
even talked to my two friends and I mentioned this
in the topic that like, I got really sad when
I saw that they were hanging out together and didn't
invite me, Like, I haven't had a conversation with them
about that yet, and yet I talked about it on
the air, and so I'm like, oh, so that's the best.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Though. I like that because you know what, then when
they call you, you see okay, well yeah, you know, yeah,
but it's okay, it's no problem. I didn't say your names.
But I like that. I like sometimes saying shit on
the air without talking about it, because the problem is
what happens. Did they say to you, well, it's because
of this, and then all of a sudden you lost
(29:41):
your topic of what it was. Maybe there's another reason
behind it.
Speaker 6 (29:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
I also think that one of the beauties of a
show like this because I listened to a ton of
radio shows, and when you have two to three people
on a radio show, honestly, you don't have as many
di ynamics going on. Yeah, and it's kind of like,
have you guys.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
Ever been so much going on on the show?
Speaker 1 (30:04):
You guys are ever in a classroom? I took one
class one time and there was only three kids in
the entire class. Oh fucking things sucked, Like as much
as you wanted to have it was a it was reading.
I had to take like extra reading and stuff, and
it sucked because you didn't even though they say you
had more one on one time, you didn't have the
dynamics of multiple people there to make things more.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
You know what it is like, It's like I kind
of fell out of Real Housewives, but it's like Real
Housewives because you have like six or seven women and
obviously we're not, but you have six or seven women
on Real Housewives, and they all have like their own storyline.
But then they have storylines together and you're like some
sometimes you're like, oh, but I really like her storyline,
and I like her storyline, like that's what our show is,
(30:46):
you know, And then they intersect sometimes.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
But.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Or for the nerd, it's like Justice League with Superman.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
And so funny.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
I like that, Zach, thanks man, he told him to talk.
I appreciated Lydia A question for you, Oh boy? Yes,
what it is? Out of everybody on the show, who
do you think gives you the most to work with
(31:19):
and who do you think needs to work a little
bit more?
Speaker 4 (31:22):
You give me the most, Megan gives me the least.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
And you and when you talk have these conversations? Are
you having these conversations on the phone with her because
of that reason? Why?
Speaker 4 (31:33):
Sometimes it's just connected? It's like she doesn't I mean, yeah,
of course it keeps us close like a friendship and
coworker wise, but I feel like I don't see a
lot in the topics, And that's why I think it's
important to connect with you guys when I can, or
I feel like something's falling short in the emails that
we send topics in because you get to actually know
(31:54):
them and you can pull things out, like she was
kind of talking about, Yeah, and I tell her that
sometimes yeah, like Megan, what can I do both?
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (32:00):
And then we work through it?
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Or sometimes she she I feel like she has so
much stuff going on in her life that she doesn't
even realize as a good topic.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Yeah, for sure, Like what did you do yesterday?
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Yeah, it's like, oh I like that.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Yeah, And that's all of us, by the way, I
hope Megan doesn't take offense to that if she listens
back to that, like, sometimes something's happening in my life
and I don't even realize it's a good topic. And
then Moje will be like, you should talk about correct that,
you know, and it doesn't even occur to me, like, oh, yeah,
that would be good to talk about.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
One of my favorite things. We should and we talk
about this all the time. But we got to do
more field trips as a group because it is interesting
to get people out of their dynamic. They're they're same
thing they do all the time. And I remember the
first time that we ever did it with our with
the show, we all went to twelve Oak Small as
a show. I for some reason had the most fun
(32:46):
I've ever had that day, because it is so fucking
fun to walk into a store that you literally walk
past every goddamn day with your coworkers and friends and
not even you know, and there and somebody who goes
this is my favorite story, and you're like this is
your favorite st Like we're going into the candle store together,
(33:07):
Like what is it? But it was honestly so cool.
In the next day or days, you get countless amounts
of you know, ideas, you know, but we should.
Speaker 7 (33:18):
Well Lydia schedule us an event if you like, not
an event, a field trip that else.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
We did p B and Jay's last year. This year,
we're going to the mall.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Yes, I was fired.
Speaker 6 (33:30):
Yeah, we should do that again. That was cool.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
You got to close that.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
You're the you're the host.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
All right, topics?
Speaker 1 (33:42):
What right now?
Speaker 4 (33:43):
It is?
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Imitate wait, imitate Kevin? How Kevin would close it up?
Speaker 6 (33:48):
Yeah,
