Speaker 1 (00:00):
I just want to say thank you to everybody who

(00:01):
tuned in for that, and for all of you who
commented on my Facebook page about Reagan Tolks and what
she meant to you.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
There were so many comments I was reading through some
of them.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
We know her. You commented about how that affected you.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
So we will keep having Lisa on because this isn't over,
and hopefully we'll get a good turnout, a big turnout
for the rally for Reagan in October on October twenty sixth.
So we thought we'd have a little fun and Mikayla
and I have a list of really interesting topics that
matter and we want your involvement with them. So each

(00:40):
week we're going to try to discuss something something really
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
Interesting. Last week it caught a little racy, I did.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
We talked with you about relationships at work and we
got some call. It was a woman, Jill. I had
it written down at one point, but our first call
off with a bang.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Oh, she just called out someone she worked with and
she said another one said listen, you're gonna sweep sleep
to the top if you date your voss or something
like that. I mean, it was just anyway, we're going
to have not always exactly racy conversations, but really interesting.
So if you're driving home from somewhere, if you're on
the road, the whole point is to make that drive
or whatever you're doing, let it be more interesting, right,

(01:20):
write more fun and engaging.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
So our topic today will set this up, and then
Mindy has some sounds she wants to play. Our topic
today is have you ever thought about writing a book?
And if so, what would your book be about? Because
I think I think everybody probably has one book in
them if they really wanted to write it, they could,
So that's our topic.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
When I wrote my first book, I can't tell you
how many people reached out and said, you know what,
I've always wanted.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
To write a book.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
I've always wanted to do that. You know, Good for
you for at least getting it published. But yeah, there's
so many different facets of life that you could write about.
Would you write about your family, would you write to
give advice to someone? Would you write about some certain
situation that you went through and you want the world
to know about it. I've known people who have written
books just for their family so they will have a

(02:12):
keepsake down the road.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
That's amazing.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
So as we wait to get those phone calls come
in six, one four, eight, two, one nine, eight eighty six,
let's just have fun together.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
What would you write about? What would you title it?
So as we're waiting for that, you brought up, Mikayla,
what we talked about last week.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
Romance, office relationships, dating your manager, dating your boss, dating
a coworker. Because if you remember, one of my best friends,
Michelle called in who did date her coworker? Who she
was actually the boss, she was a supervisor.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
She was a supervisor.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
So on Thursday, I was with Michelle and her husband
and with some other friends because they celebrated their thirtieth
anniversary love it and she bought a table, treated everybody
to dinner at the Villa Milano. And the show, well,
this show was this. Go ahead, miss Kyleen and play

(03:10):
this sound. Hi, this is Joseph McCoy from a race.
That's not the sounds, that is not even Zach are
you used to doing here?

Speaker 4 (03:25):
Let's try this one. I put it on booth again.
I'm you know, rusty in here, So let's try this one.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
Listen, trown it up a little bit, please.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
To get on, bo does this man sound like he
really does.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
Broke?

Speaker 2 (03:54):
This is he from Columbus?

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Maybe from he is from oh.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
Branson, Massines. Okay, so he's from outside and damn, oh
my gosh.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
I played all the favorites and I love Neil Diamond,
but he sounded so good.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
So that's how they celebrated.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Their thirtieth year anniversary after a meeting in the workplace.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
I love it, I love it. I'm so glad you
got sound too. It's a carryover.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Everybody was.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
Everybody had their phones up and they were recording. Because
he was so dark, he really looked like him. He
started his career doing a cover band as Elvis and
Elvis huh, and it.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
Really didn't work as well. So his wife is like,
you need to do Neil Diamond. She was part of
the cover band too.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
That's amat singers. I know the Black Diamond, but that's
a different story.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
What is that I think of the Black Diamond, I
think of a roller coaster.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
The Black Diamond is a guy who does Neil Diamond,
who's black and sounds exactly like him, really, and I
met him and inner reduced him at the Decatur celebration
when that was a thing. We would bring in all
these major acts, and he kept coming back to Decatur,
Illinois to perform. Well after the celebration was over. I
think he's from Virginia. He's amazing. The black diamond that's
what he calls them, is a break.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
So we're so waity for the phone calls to come in.
Come on, guys, don't be shy. If you would write
a book, what would it be about?

Speaker 3 (05:21):
Anything? Would you write a book? Would you ever write
a book?

Speaker 1 (05:25):
It's really not that hard because you put your thoughts
down a paper and just kind of organize them. That's
the other thing people have said to me. I've always
wanted to write a book, but I have no idea
how to go about doing it. You read so many
books and you write so much. If it look at
your darn notebook right now, then I'm looking at it
like you always have a pen in hand with a
notebook open.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
If you were to write a book, MICHAELA, what would
it be about? What would a title of it be?

Speaker 2 (05:51):
So part of me has always wanted to write fiction
but has been really overwhelmed by the idea of it.
So I love a good thriller, goody I love a
book that's a good thriller. I also like a summer
romance book I'm reading right now. Our reading styles, I
think actually are pretty similar. And then I love a
good like you know, self improvement book. Read a lot

(06:15):
of those nonfiction and so I feel one of the
reasons you said, hey, pick a topic, and we're adding
to this note that we have together with all these topics,
so we can have plenty over time. This was your
topic that you had put in there, but it spoke
to me because I think I'm closer to a place
now where I feel like I have something to potentially share.
Do you think you have to be there to be

(06:37):
ready to share, to commit to the actual writing, Like
I feel like I'm.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
Think I'm going to say that I don't know what
You're going to know that because I think, to me,
life is so much better when things happen on a whim,
when you don't thinking about it.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Did your first book happen on a whim? Because that
was I.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
Would say this. Gilo was my first German shepherd.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
But I will say this, I've always told myself if
I ever write a book, I would make it about
this darn dog that I loved so much because it
was just such a great story, because of all the things.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
That happened in our lives together.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
But what was what was the reason that that moment
you said, I'm going to write it? I really, Cammy.
I'm trying to think of the timeline. Had Kai graduated
high school?

Speaker 3 (07:26):
I don't know remember how many years ago the first
I could look it up.

Speaker 4 (07:29):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
It just felt like the timing was right to me. Kyleen,
would you ever consider writing a book?

Speaker 4 (07:35):
Oh gosh, I think my life could just write itself
a book, be a self help book. It's so funny. Well,
I don't know, it's so funny. So where I live
we call it Melro's Place because we've all met at
the pool. It's kind of fun, remember me, yes, meat
around the pool and things just evolve and happen. So

(07:56):
I think my book would be more of like a
go pro but quite possib itself. Oh wow, pretty funny.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
Would it be X rated? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, there she
goes depending on the chapter.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
So that's that's the thing, Like I feel like there
has to be you have to have some time to
do it, You have to have a spark to do it,
but I have. I started probably a couple of weeks ago.
I started a substack about teaching things. Do you know
a substackic kyline, Do you know what a substack is?
I do not, Okay, So substack is kind of the place.

(08:31):
Substack is a place where people are writing now and
instead of like a traditional blog on a website, people
are going to substack and then you can subscribe to
people substacks. So a lot of authors are on substack
and maybe we need to get many on substack and
just you can easily go into your line. It's free, yeah,
but you can, but you can also monetize it. You
can also create subscriptions, you can to your content. So

(08:56):
every there's so many people on it, and I want
to teach people what I've learned in the communications business
and the TV business kind of combined and why it's worked.
And I feel like I have some things to say
and I feel like I have some stories to tell.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
Oh, you've definitely got some stories to tell.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
So that Yeah, I started it probably two or three
weeks ago. You know, one that was real controversial or
people weren't sure about how it was going to be.
But I was like This is not political. It's fine.
You haven't seen this, have you. I wrote about Putin,
Zelenski and Trump the other day, and I know you
would be intrigued. But it's not political. It's about how
they are internally consistent with who they are on the

(09:35):
world stage. When you see Putin and Trump shake hands,
it is this like struggle for dominance and to show
and that is who they both are in. Zelensky knew
he made a mistake a few months ago when he
showed up in his fatigues and.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
Then he wore black suits.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
Yes, so I wrote about that a couple of days
ago and it went over pretty well, and then I
wrote it I'm talking about cracker barrel right now.

Speaker 3 (09:59):
So it's actually a good subject.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
But as we're on the book subject, I want to
tell you guys, both listening and everybody else who's out
there listening.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
I'm reading a book right now, which was when I
go to the beach.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
I always ask for recommendations or if I go anywhere,
and I asked for a recommendation of what to read
a while back. I didn't get this book because it
was in high demand at the library. I can't believe
it's called the arrangement. Have you heard of it?

Speaker 2 (10:24):
I feel like I have. Tell me more, though, Kylene,
have you heard of it?

Speaker 4 (10:27):
I have not?

Speaker 3 (10:28):
You talk about X rayed. It's really juicy.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
It reminds you of the movie with Demi Moore and
Woody Harrelson.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
Oh, it's the proposal, y indecent proposal.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
Proposal kind of like that.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
But this is a married couple and they've been married
about how long you have because they have teenage kids.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
They have three kids.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
But they've gotten to a part in their life and
a point in their life that their marriage has just fizzled.
They still really love each other, but they've gone to
a marriage counselor it didn't work.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
They have to find some type of a spark.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
So there's an arrangement.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
They have agreed to date other people.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
They make this dating app each of them a saying
there's someone different.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
Can you go through with something like that?

Speaker 1 (11:17):
Like in this book, the husband's really having hard time
with it. The wife is the one who wanted to
do this, And also in this book, the wife is
the hottie. Like he admits in this book that she's
the better catch out of the both of us. So
he's worried that she's going to meet someone better than him,
and he's like driving himself crazy. He's like, she's on
her first date because she's supposed to go out on Tuesdays.

Speaker 3 (11:41):
He's supposed to go out on Thursdays.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
He hasn't gone out yet, but she has, and he
is like, this is it's changed everything. He's knowing in
his mind that she's slept with another man. Now, I
haven't gotten that part yet if it really happened, yeah,
but in his mind that has changed everything for their marriage.
Could you go through with that and do something like
that even though the husband and wife agree to it,

(12:04):
so it's not really cheating. This is what she's trying
to tell him, as the husband. It's not cheating because
we know what we're doing. But they can't ask any
questions about who they're going on these dates with.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
This is why this is intriguing, right because the fact
that someone can write this and I take it right
it well, by the way you've described it, and the
enthusiasm you have of like reading it to see what's
going to happen next, that's a talent. I don't they answer.
I mean, I think there's probably plenty of couples that
answer yes, they could see doing that to that question.
I'm not one of them, but.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
I'm not either.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
But there's no way. There's no way in a million,
trillion zillion. But I don't know what's worse to think
of yourself with somebody else, or to visualize your husband
but with somebody else.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
Have you heard about the upside down pineapples? Of course,
I just did find out.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
You didn't know that.

Speaker 3 (12:51):
No, Dixie was telling me.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
I am so out of it with stuff like that.

Speaker 4 (12:57):
A saite down pineapple person though it isn't married, but
I'm in a very committed relationship, and I can't picture
that either.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
I can't believe you guys both knew about the upside
down pineapple thing, and I literally have no idea.

Speaker 4 (13:11):
There's a community close to here that's very known for
upside down pineapple.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
You better tell people what the upside There's probably some
people listening that are just don't know.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
You better take a break.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah, but you guys, you got to call this. Are
you going to write this book like the kind of
book that Mindy's talking about, a fiction book that is
tilt lating, that's the word I'm going to use for it.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
If you're an upside down pineapple, are you going to
write a book about what's.

Speaker 4 (13:34):
Going to market with an upside down pineapple? We want
to hear about it.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
Yeah, six one four.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
